30-03-2023 00:17:30 < ER!smuxi@559-025-147-15.lightspeed.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net: you made a [redacted]
30-03-2023 00:19:13 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: Yeah, a failure.
30-03-2023 00:19:18 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: going to be an uh oh then.
30-03-2023 00:31:31 < ER!smuxi@559-025-147-15.lightspeed.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net: appears that 4 words is possible with 3 heart and that multiple spells may be cast in a turn for a cumulative -1 control
30-03-2023 00:33:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: Hmm.
30-03-2023 00:33:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: The question is how many with 1.  Hmm.
30-03-2023 00:33:24 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I'll try a two-worder.
30-03-2023 00:35:13 < ER!smuxi@559-025-147-15.lightspeed.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net: or heart might just be limit for one spell
30-03-2023 00:36:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I think it might be heart +1.
30-03-2023 00:36:09 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: so you can cast at 0 heart.
30-03-2023 00:36:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: So I'm gonna try that.

30-03-2023 01:21:38 < ER!smuxi@559-025-147-15.lightspeed.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net: would recommend also writing down what rolls you got for the spell notes
30-03-2023 01:45:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: Yeah, maybe.  That was 3 and 1 right?
30-03-2023 01:45:22 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I'll start with that next turn.
30-03-2023 01:45:42 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: probably gonna be busy punching things once the time is up.

30-03-2023 01:50:31 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: what?  Something wrong with punching stuff?
30-03-2023 01:57:21 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: also, pretty awful control for syv.
30-03-2023 01:57:32 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I think I'm gonna push might to specialize first.  Then magic stuff.

30-03-2023 05:43:33 < * syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi yawns
30-03-2023 05:47:19 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Multiple spells gives an increasing control penalty.  That's a very interesting mechanic
30-03-2023 05:50:39 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: indeed
30-03-2023 05:50:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: Control's also a stat, right?
30-03-2023 05:53:44 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Yes.  Which is itself unusual among Perplexicon-likes, but is prolly a good mechanic.
30-03-2023 05:53:55 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Maybe.
30-03-2023 05:54:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: This also might allow exceeding the wordcap.
30-03-2023 05:55:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: If heart is per-spell only, then maybe I have a word cap of three per spell.  In that case, control actually multiplies the number of spells you can cast, which is huge.
30-03-2023 05:56:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: And my crest is absolutely OP in that case, as it would allow me to cast a +1, a +0, and an auto-5  spell in one turn.  Unless the 5 takes penalties, but that would be a bit weird.
30-03-2023 05:56:45 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: At +2 control, a third spell would be an unmodified die roll, and a naked 5-2 is a three.  50% chance of being worse than the naked roll.
30-03-2023 05:57:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: *the normal +2-2 roll
30-03-2023 05:57:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: Well, that doesn't include the power roll.
30-03-2023 05:57:24 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: so it's half the amount.
30-03-2023 05:57:39 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: means you need 3 stats for spellcasting.
30-03-2023 05:58:47 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: anyway, I'm gonna check if I can cast a two-word spell with one heart.
30-03-2023 05:58:54 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Power wasn't penalized for multicasting
30-03-2023 05:58:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: If it works, I'll try a three-word spell next turn.
30-03-2023 05:58:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Yeah, that's wise.
30-03-2023 05:59:07 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: no, but you still need it if you want to cast good spells.
30-03-2023 05:59:10 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Maybe exceeding heart will give power penalties?
30-03-2023 05:59:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Yeah.
30-03-2023 05:59:24 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I like it so far.
30-03-2023 05:59:27 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: seems like a good way to do it.
30-03-2023 06:00:11 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Yup!
30-03-2023 06:02:25 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: after the three word spell, probably going to be punching stuff for the rest of the mission.
30-03-2023 06:04:50 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: You get one more turn to test!
30-03-2023 06:06:18 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: yeah, this and then 3
30-03-2023 06:09:47 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Ahhh
30-03-2023 06:09:49 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Yeah.
30-03-2023 06:09:59 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Fluffe got a very, very good word.
30-03-2023 06:10:10 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: I think that's "Aura".
30-03-2023 06:10:36 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Old favorite of mine
30-03-2023 06:11:05 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: ...I think Leng and I are the only people who actually played OG Perplexicon.
30-03-2023 06:11:12 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: In this game.
30-03-2023 06:11:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I haven't played it, but I know of perplexicon.
30-03-2023 06:11:27 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: and yeah, Aura is good.
30-03-2023 06:11:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: although I might have 'grow'.
30-03-2023 06:16:49 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: ...Quite a lot less lethal indeed.
30-03-2023 06:17:09 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: I got a power 6 control 0, and a mobility 3 roll saved me from taking any lasting harm.
30-03-2023 06:17:31 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: In Perplexicon something like that would surely have been lethal.
30-03-2023 06:17:50 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: might depend on intent.
30-03-2023 06:18:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: In Perplexicon, it wouldn't have.
30-03-2023 06:18:11 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: like if you target yourself it's probably more dangerous.
30-03-2023 06:18:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: yeah.
30-03-2023 06:18:22 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: but that wasn't the best part of perplexicon.
30-03-2023 06:18:25 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: well, it was fun.
30-03-2023 06:18:27 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Even if your words were totaly harmless that would've been twisted into a selfkill.
30-03-2023 06:18:29 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Arguable.
30-03-2023 06:18:29 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: but in a different way.
30-03-2023 06:19:07 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: One of my favorite memories was disassembling myself by giving my torso--and only my torso--a distortion aura.
30-03-2023 06:19:49 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Admittedly, that was the literal effect of the spell, and not a miscast.
30-03-2023 06:20:26 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: Heh.
30-03-2023 06:20:32 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: That might not fit well with the setting.
30-03-2023 06:20:40 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I'm sure we can screw up badly if we do bad intent.
30-03-2023 06:20:46 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: like cast on self might have messed you up.
30-03-2023 06:20:53 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: plus I don't know what your word was.
30-03-2023 06:23:11 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: word(s)
30-03-2023 06:24:14 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: yeah, if you had nondirected smoke, I can't see that killing you.
30-03-2023 06:24:22 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: people can deal with a fair amount of smoke.
30-03-2023 06:24:28 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: and we're not ordinary people.
30-03-2023 06:36:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Pow6 con0 in Perplexicon would've just turned part of the body into smoke.  Maybe all of it.
30-03-2023 06:37:04 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Admittedly, perplexicon didn't have control.  But pot0 would've been the same or worse.
30-03-2023 06:37:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Pot 1 alone often did basically that.
30-03-2023 06:37:50 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Having two extreme rolls like that would've *definitely* made it terrible.
30-03-2023 06:41:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: I think smoke is just a miscast, anyway.
30-03-2023 06:45:55 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: It could be 'smoke'
30-03-2023 06:45:59 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: you had ash as another roll.
30-03-2023 07:08:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Smoke *is* ash, but yes, it's possible.
30-03-2023 07:10:22 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: I think it's more likely failed spells give smoke, and both failed, with the GM using synonyms.  I'd do that.  But yes, it's possible I stumbled upon two very similar words.  They do fit Tenae.
30-03-2023 07:10:29 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: I'm testing both, in any case.
30-03-2023 07:11:40 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: hopefully.
30-03-2023 07:11:51 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: mmm, Steel Panthers fumbled a bit in this campaign.
30-03-2023 07:12:15 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: for some reason it only generated an opposing force of about 20%  the size it was supposed to.
30-03-2023 07:12:34 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: which may have been lucky because it was a horrific fight.
30-03-2023 07:13:49 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: fighting 85 experience skirmishers in 7 hex lighting is hell.
30-03-2023 07:14:41 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: (doing a campaign where I'm facing a mix of lower and higher quality opponents.
30-03-2023 07:15:26 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: they had groups of ridiculously heavily armed small units in the dark.  Could barely spot them and they were very lethal.
30-03-2023 07:16:01 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: but there were only four or three people per squad, which meant that if you could get a kill on them they'd die easily.
30-03-2023 07:17:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.sxl.wi: Spec ops!
30-03-2023 07:20:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: I checked their OOB.
30-03-2023 07:20:27 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: They have actual spec ops that are 90/90
30-03-2023 07:21:01 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:kuul:rhmj:gsoq:jqkn:tqoo: otoh, they have no armoured vehicles.
