Which would yield a more powerful sprite?


Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning


Jace, the Mind-Sculptor


Hitoshura

 

[Cirno]

Hrm. I'm debating between:


Randall Munroe, creator of XKCD,


Mazu/Guanyin, and


"Blood God the War Reporter," an inside joke that came from a co-op game of Arkham Horror with friends. A player selected the average-looking Reporter character and ended up devastating the monsters on the board.

 

[Direhuman]

He's covered wars, you know.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Actually, could I alchemize two things together and then use it for prototyping? I can't decide between King Arthur (http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saber_(Fate/Prototype))


and Black Luster Soldier. (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Luster_Soldier_-_Envoy_of_the_Beginning)

 

[Cirno]

Whoops. Sorry, how's feinting work? Do you just roll Strife (Attack) twice and pick, or do you roll two sets of Attack + Damage and pick one of the sets?

 

[Unbridled Originality]

Yeah, you take either result.

 

[Thief of Words]

I feel entirely vindicated in suggesting the puzzle now.

 

[Seeker of the End]

I've run into a dilemma. I don't know what to prototype.


I could go with Himura Kenshin but he would be a pacifist.


I could go with Saber from prototype but I'm not sure about his power levels.


I could go with Hitoshura but he would be mute.


I could go with Black luster soldier but, again power issues.


What should I do?!

 

[Direhuman]

 

[Thief of Words]

The second prototyping shouldn't be too bad of an issue. It won't affect enemies.

 

[Seeker of the End]

I'm worried about raising the power of my sprite.


I'm currently choosing between Prototype Saber from Fate and Black Luster Soldier.

 

[Cirno]

Why's it bad if the sprite itself has increased power (while our enemies do not)? Won't obey?

 

[Direhuman]

Why's it bad if the sprite itself has increased power (while our enemies do not)? Won't obey?

Oh! In that case:

 

[Seeker of the End]

I want to have a powerful sprite ally against the superman/woman royalty. Anything else would just end up getting curbstomped.


Edit: Haha, very funny Direhuman. Yes, I get the reference...

 

[Thief of Words]

Make sure it's a first edition! :3

 

[Seeker of the End]

Alright then, Prototype Saber figure it is.

 

[Thief of Words]

At one point I'd considered Jayce the Mind-...hang on. After so long of my friends calling him by a pejorative nickname, I don't actually know that card's proper title. The Mind Sculptor.


Well, I'd considered Nicol Bolas before that, but thrown it out out of hand for...well, reasons.


EDIT: On consideration, Tezzeret's whole semi-metal man might fit the nanotech thing.


But then...honestly, what I'd most like to do is

Spoiler

Dreamself prototyping.


But that seems unlikely to happen without DM complicity or metagaming. If the former happens, cool. But I'd honestly rather not metagame.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Jace the Format-Warper? I considered him too. I also considered Ajani Goldmane as well.


Also Emrakul, the I-Win-LOLZ.


Edit: Dammit Theif! Now I'm back to square one!

 

[Thief of Words]

Then don't think of it from a meta standpoint. What would Isaac use?

 

[Seeker of the End]

Isaac would probably choose Ajani Goldmane or Black Luster Soldier.

 

[Thief of Words]

Then go for one of those. Ajani fits both sections of the bill, if you think about it. He's intelligent, capable of speak, and Planeswalkers are freaking powerful.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Alright then. Editing post.


Ajani was always my favorite planeswalker anyway. Still have his Lorwyn debut card.

 

[Thief of Words]

Elspeth Tirel was mine. But I ran a tribal mono-white soldier deck.

 

[Seeker of the End]

How do you alchemize stuff in the rp again?

 

[Thief of Words]

Each item has a rank. Rank can be 0. Each item also has an associated interest. When you combine two items, you add their ranks together and you pick one of the interests. The cost to make the resulting item is 10 grist per rank.
