Re: FG Lounge
Important game advice: Never give a character the power of transformation. They will go full OP on you.

And I might, by forcing him to make a "Transformation Check" every turn that he's transformed. I would laugh my head off It would be a shame if he flew ten miles up as a bird and then failed a check like that.

Re: FG Lounge
Dire circumstance demands a double post.
Torrent, you stole meh idea about making a sky-world RtD. I am saddened by this. ... seriously, though - don't you have enough RtD's to run? Within another few months there will be no original ideas to use! :(
Gah. I'm just massively disappointed by the fact that my RtD is not going to be groundbreaking now that the idea is taken. I was going to rant, (I'm good at ranting) but I'd just look like an idiot, and I've done that one too many times already.
... Urgh.

Re: FG Lounge
Fun fact, the whole idea for LotS came up within the past week.

It wasn't just you.

Re: FG Lounge
I'm thinking there should be a relatively-lengthy transformation timer, so there's a bit of risk with his power as there is with ours. Sure, he might end up a dragon like he wanted, but Cave could ALSO roll low and be stuck as a newt for a bit. That way, it doesn't lose its potency so much as carry an equally-potent risk.

Re: FG Lounge
I already turn into weird things if I roll poorly.
Adding a timer would simply delay any attempts I make and I'll just be sitting out of battle longer, like caek.

Re: FG Lounge
I realize you already turn into weird things, I'm saying this way it won't be "Oh darn I lost a turn or two", it'll be "♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ I'M A PYGMY MARMOSET INSTEAD OF A GORILLA AND I'M BEING ATTACKED BY BARBARIANS."

Re: FG Lounge
Teenagers can absorb animal DNA by touching said animal, then turn into that animal. And they use this magical power to fight aliens.

Re: FG Lounge
I think they mentioned at one point that animals included other people, so someone could morph into someone else. Don't remember much of the books.

Re: FG Lounge
Ehh, I'm not sure about that, but one of the aliens that could morph absorbed a bunch of humans and morphed into an amalgam of them. Also there's a 2 hour time limit; go past it and you're stuck forever.
