...This is going to be one of those canon things like calling mewtwo a clone where I just have to cringe on principle, isn't it? ^^" (the stacked paper not burning thing I mean)

[Arch-Magos Winter]

For that matter, what about acids, nanotech, and other things? You could probably easily get through the paper with those.

[lantzblades]

Paper does in resist burning when stacked Alice. That's a physics thing.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

It might RESIST burning, but it still does burn. For that matter, the WP or napalm out of a flamethrower will simply stick to it and burn until it ALL CATCHES ON FIRE. Seriously. There's a reason why using WP on troop positions is a warcrime.

[Elf]

Not if you're creative at starting a fire.  Trust me, I've played with fire enough to know.

Seriously though, even thick stacks of paper are flammable.  Trick of it is that you don't try to immolate everything at once; you just light part of it on fire.   You get a small corner of it on fire and since there is air everywhere it will burn. 

[lantzblades]

I never said they weren't flammable Elf. I said the thicker the stack the more resistant to burning it is. Which is true.

not that it matters much as James isn't a combat character

Which is what WP will do. It'll cover the exterior and just start to burn on through. You can't stop it because HOLY SHIT WILEY PETE BURNS THROUGH BONE AND STEEL

[lantzblades]

Whatever Arch, I don't intend on your characters being within ten feet of mine.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

The glory of incendiary ammunition - I don't need to be within half a mile if I want to!

[KAIZA]

Eh, to be fair, assuming James is a strong enough user, this is all within canon abilities. I mean, dropping a bomb would kill anyone (human).

No, it's one of those canon things where I have to cringe on principle. I'm the physicist here

Stacks of paper do still burn, although I think they might take a bit more heat to ignite because the heat can probably be dispersed more easily, and it wouldn't be completely destroyed anything like as quickly because the lower layers would take longer to ignite. I can see no reason other than that why putting paper in a stack would cause it to burn less quickly, though.

[lantzblades]

Whatever Arch, pking as usual won't work.

James was made post ROD TV Kaiza to fight all four present paper masters. So yeah, very strong. Although he was designed with full design data of all four which, as it says in the bio gives him all their weaknesses

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Still means that a good old dose of incendiary ammo means he's freaking toast. Literally. Something which I'm keeping in my memory because after all, he's going after Jack.

Also, I want to comment here that that was a dick move moving the dungeon crawl to invite only.

[lantzblades]

He's not going after jack Arch.

as for dungeon crawl I did as I saw fit given the nature of the game and it's theoretical length.

True. I guess I should just stick to cringing at Biology related things while you cringe at the physics related things.

Ah, gotcha. But yeah, that does show that they'd definitely still burn, if nothing else.
