Thanks a lot Gott!

 

[Goffterdom]

Updated, for your own pleasure

Notice that I didnt tried to balance armor/damage type counters, I rather focused on reality.

EDIT: Btw it's "Goff"

 

[Nightblade]

Yeah,that sounds nice.Too bad i cant +rep you..
I will as soon as I can.

Btw 'Gott' is a better nick but lets have it your way Goff.

 

[Goffterdom]

Ahah it's funny, my nickname comes from a mistake I did one day.

If anyone ever heard about "Lanfeust". It's a comic book and there's a troll in it. When he's surprised he says "GOTTFERDOM". I miss copy/pasted it =D

Instead of gunpowder, you could use Kinetic instead?

 

[Nightblade]

I Could..it could double up for lasers.thanks

 

[Omnom18]

Lasers are made by manipulating light. Not used by some kind of firing mechanism.

 

[Dawn Whitelighter]

Instead of gunpowder, you could use Kinetic instead?

a better term: BALISTIC

 

[Goffterdom]

Or keep things as they are and use "Magic" for lasers.

 

[Omnom18]

Lasers are intense lights, not magic.

 

[Goffterdom]

What is Magic then ?

 

[Nightblade]

Omnom,though I would like some 17-odd attack types,we are only limited to 7.Some types must be combined.

 

[Omnom18]

Combine ones that make sense then?

Magic =/= Laser
Laser =/= Magic

 

[Goffterdom]

...

What did I suggest few lines uplow and you contested ?

 

[Omnom18]

I just fail to see how lasers can be described as magic.

 

[Nightblade]

They might not make sense,but really,much choice is not available.
