Minor magic and/or pyro/tele/cryokinesis? - Akura - 03-20-2011
' Wrote:I'd rather not see anything like this at all. Freelancer doesn't have "magic". Super-powered characters just don't belong here. I mean, some people try to pass it off as the result of some top-secret Order experiment or something, but that's still pretty ridiculous.
So no. I wouldn't easily "accept" it. But I can't stop you from trying it.
Pretty much my view on it.

We have supposed in RP furries, so why not have the ability to destroy a system with just a wave of your hand? The crap in both scenarios is pretty much the same amount.

Is there not a topic in this forum people won't go troll? No? Fine. Anyway, naturally the person would have a MAJOR drawback. Also, I gave up the idea of magic, I decided to go with cryokinesis. It would manifest in the person having cold blood, almost like a lizard, except it wouldn't affect them much.

We do have lore in terms of close-proximity (almost touch range) mind reading, and the Nomads have a mindshare. I personally do not allow other people to assign actions for my own characters. IE "telekinetically I push the cruise engine controls and you fly off" I'd answer with a "your attempts to mindcontrol my ship backfires somehow - and fries your weapon systems".
When RPing these kinds of abilities, check oorply beforehand if the party you're RPing them with will accept them - since there's no basis for them to exist in the Freelancer world. If the other peeps accept it? Great, no problem. If not? Too bad, you're playing the wrong kind of RPG. (As said before, Sci-Fi, not fantasy).

sci-fi, not fantasy. however, check out 'The Reality Dysfunction' by Peter F. Hamilton. weird scifi novel where telepathy, hyperacuity, etc are covered by implants, and telekinesis arises when an alien race composed of energy interrupts a satanic ritual.... as i said, weird.
and the furries should be euthanised....painfully. make them eat dried go-cat until they promise to rp as humans!

Mechanical implants with miniature tractor beams.

Its Thundaga.
/End KH Magic lawyering
' Wrote:Mechanical implants with miniature tractor beams.
Too lazy to think of that. :P
For the Record:
Jeremy cannot destroy a solar system by waving his hand. I could TRY and crush a planet, but the mental strain would kill Jeremy.
I wouldn't go and try what Doleo said-And I doubt neither would Somni.
