[13:23:28] Dev: Coercion Cade can use his natural speaking abilities to convince ambivalent or hostile NPCs to do certain things. As this ability improves, its chance of success increases and the number of coercion options increases.

[13:23:32] Dev: For Rheya:

[13:23:34] Stix: Slow down! lmao

[13:23:50] Dev: :x

[13:24:01] Dev: Well there's half of it. :P

[13:25:18] Stix: Okies, go on.

[13:25:24] Dev: ::ahem:: For Rheya:

[13:25:30] Dev: Eumotech Rheya can craft and program eumonetic devices. As this ability improves, the number of techniques available to program increases, as well as the range of her devices.

[13:25:40] Dev: Eumonetics Rheya can perform air-fire eumonetic techniques, dealing with motion and damage.

[13:25:48] Dev: For Ko:

[13:25:57] Dev: Trapmaking Ko can craft and deploy traps to hinder enemies and capture small animals. As this ability improves, traps become larger and more effective.

[13:26:07] Dev: Mobility Ko can access locations other characters can’t. As this ability improves, it allows Ko’s maneuvers to include special attacks on enemies and objects.

[13:26:18] Dev: For Brooke:

[13:26:27] Dev: Morph Brooke can morph and un-morph herself or one other character into a creature she has studied (that Ko has captured?). This ability increases as more creatures become available.

[13:26:38] Dev: Eumonetics Brooke can perform earth eumonetic techniques, dealing with shape and structure.

[13:26:47] Stix: I like how Ko captures animals and maybe Brooke can copy them.

[13:26:49] Dev: For Rush:

[13:27:04] Dev: Ministry Rush can perform combat rituals on other characters to heal or alter their bodily functions. As this ability increases, more rituals become available.

[13:27:34] Dev: ... and, my mouse died again, so you don't get to see his second ability. :P

[13:29:15] Stix: ...grr.

[13:29:24] Stix: What, do you have a cordless?

[13:29:28] Dev: ::cough:: Well, it's Onslaught again, as per Cade's.

[13:29:32] Dev: Yeah.

[13:29:42] Stix: Well, those suck if you use the computer a lot.

[13:30:11] Dev: Actually, I have a ton of rechargeables ... they're just all with my camera right now.

[13:30:48] Dev: Anyway, I don't really like Onslaught, or either of Cade's abilities. Coercion doesn't fit him.

[13:31:08] Dev: So that's why I just dumped it into the chat instead of posting it.

[13:31:14] Stix: okies.

[13:31:22] Stix: So Cade needs to find something else to do.

[13:31:55] Stix: Instead of Coercian.. maybe he does tricks.

[13:31:58] Stix: Like... illusions.

[13:32:12] Stix: Maybe his hidden talent is parlor tricks, like sleight of hand or something.

[13:33:17] Dev: I'm not sure how that fits him either. :\

[13:34:10] Stix: Maybe I need to review what kind of person he is..lol.

[13:34:22] Dev: Couldn't hurt.

[13:35:11] Stix: Let's see now...

[13:35:46] Stix: Honor..

[13:36:21] Stix: I see how you think he should 'talk' his way out fights with NPC's..but that's not necessarily winning.

[13:37:02] Dev: See, I don't think he would. Cade would prefer to just show someone up physically.

[13:37:25] Stix: Maybe he intimidates people..lol..

[13:37:42] Dev: Possibly, but that's not much of an ability.

[13:37:54] Stix: If he dislikes losing so much as a breach of his 'honor'... wouldn't make more sense that has to show everyone up through impressing upon them his great prowess? LOL

[13:38:07] Stix: Just how he *does* that is.. the problem.

[13:38:45] Dev: But I mean, already his abilities are pretty much battle-only.

[13:38:58] Stix: yeah...

[13:39:03] Stix: Onslaught is fine, I think.

[13:39:13] Stix: But he needs another one that isn't so..hm..strange.

[13:39:17] Dev: Heh.

[13:39:30] Stix: What's his element, anyway?

[13:39:37] Dev: Cade is fire-air affinitive.

[13:39:53] Dev: More fire than air.

[13:40:09] Stix: Because he's a volcanic little person isn't he..

[13:40:16] Stix: ..Hmm.

[13:41:21] Stix: Nope. Clueless.

[13:42:25] Stix: Unless he can do some kind of fire Eumonetic..

[13:42:33] Dev: Cade isn't a eumonetic.

[13:43:17] Stix: Yes, he's only human...

[13:43:39] Dev: We could give him some sort of athletic ability ... but I don't see how that's really different from Ko or Dell's Mobility.

[13:43:55] Stix: *nods*

[13:44:02] Stix: I'm stymied... damn.

[13:44:30] Stix: Maybe he could like, charge up... or maybe give up an opportunity to act so someone else can. But that doesn't seem like his character.

[13:46:33] Stix: Still there?

[13:46:39] Dev: Yeah, just thinkin'.

[13:46:44] Stix: lol.. same here..

[13:47:08] Stix: Desperation. He could like, totally, throw the battle into chaos by doing something rash and stupid to ensure that they win.. but they lose 'points' that way..

[13:47:15] Stix: which would make that ability almost useless. Gahh.

[13:48:20] Dev: Hrm. Well, something to think about.

[13:48:52] Stix: Definitely...

[13:48:56] Dev: I'm gonna head out, actually. Family's home.

[13:49:09] Stix: okay... see you next time, I guess.

[13:49:12] Stix: Don't forget to save this thing.

[13:49:19] Dev: Don't want to make that a precedent of leaving when there's only one person... <_<

[13:49:42] Stix: ..wah.

[13:49:51] Stix: Should I stay in case someone else shows up? LOL

[13:49:53] Dev: But I didn't expect to talk to anyone today, so ... yay for that. :P

[13:49:59] Dev: Heh. If you want.

[13:50:14] Dev: Heck, I'll leave the window open in case I stick around and someone does show.

[13:50:14] Stix: Sweet.

[13:50:18] Stix: lol okies.

[13:50:26] Dev: Thanks for chatting. Talk to you later.

[13:50:30] Stix: okies

[13:50:31] Stix went away.

[13:50:45] Dev went away: Beep lots; I might hear you!

[14:27:27] Stix returned.

[14:27:33] Stix: Damn it. This is boring.

[14:31:01] Stix went away.

[14:35:48] Stix left.

[14:48:10] Cai joined.

[14:48:32] Dev returned.

[14:48:35] Dev: Hey hey!

[14:48:43] Cai: Im a bit late i take it?

[14:49:08] Dev: Heh. Just a bit. :P

[14:49:46] Cai: hmm

[14:51:52] Dev: But thanks for stopping by, anyway. :)

[14:54:22] Cai: Yeah, well, i had some questions about part 4 in the plot but i gotta log off right now, so i'll probably be back n ntmorrow with them

[14:54:54] Dev: Uhm. Or post on the forums, might be better.

[14:55:06] Cai: yeah, good idea

[14:55:15] Dev: But yeah, I like answering questions. :)

[14:56:02] Cai: Well, answering questions is good for growth :P. but anyways I gtg. Sayounara.

[14:56:06] Cai left.
