[YOLF]

SHTAP.

Look, Grey and lantz need a GM ruling to decide this. That's that. Feel free to keep discussing it, so long as you remain at least barely civil.

[Kat]

Poor Elf, she has severe cold, and will have to deal with this.

[Alice]

That and bad allergies on top of that, making it even worse for her. I'm sick myself as of today, so today was not a good day for this shit to happen.

Basically, I'm not happy at all about this. There's a reason I quit until something's done about it. Because nothing's been done due to a certain someone standing in the way for far too long, and I'm not tolerating that any longer.

[lantzblades]

Not much else to discuss YOLF, I mean, I want social interaction. I've clearly explained how the symbiote thing completely destroys that and forces me to write an unceasing boring fight scenes and junk. I don't think I'm being unreasonable in wanting to be able to have fun instead of writing boring fight scenes.

[YOLF]

Yes yes, fine, so don't fan the flames if you've got nothing else you want to cook.

[Brahmastra]

Which is ironic because the Karna/Gil fight was the best part of the entire RP so far.

Yes, I've read every page.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lantz do you think Grim is going to become a god or something once he latches on Satoshi? He was with me for a little while and he can barely manage a regular barrier spell. Grim just floods it with mana for more effectiveness.

[lantzblades]

Not sure Umbra, Grim is a mutant, no idea about his limitations. With a normal symbiote I could hazard a guess but here I'm not sure. Regardless though any power transfer ( by which I mean ability) is a serious problem because it commits my characters to hunting him down and neutralizing him.

As I said the time scale and game rules mean that for foreseeable future I would be stuck futility writing fight scenes instead of having my characters be social as I intended from the start. Please tell me you can understand why I have a problem here.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lantz, Grim has already done this before with me, and he is not chucking EX rank magecraft everywhere. He's not becoming all powerful.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, would Toshi know that is the question. If not, then he might feel he needs to go after the Symbiote even if he doesn't really.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Does he even know that it can steal powers?

[Cherry Lover]

If that is explained in the comics then I would imagine so, yes.

[lantzblades]

Power assimilation/theft is the number one ability of symbiotes. So yes he'd know.

more importantly, the use of any powers assimilated from my characters render them responsible for deaths etcetera caused by it. As my characters are heroes they would be stuck responding to the issue. This is a serious problem for previously noted reasons.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Again, it doesn't render them responsible.

[lantzblades]

Yes Arch, it does, not literally but conceptually. It's part of being a hero.
