  • Just remembered that I had an idea for Unlimited Blade Works Homages/Parodies, but forgot what my original idea was, sadly...

    But, any Manifestor could do it, if they went Dark Phoenix or something.

    Ones that would be Puns: Waterworks / Fireworks / Earthworks / Metalworks.

    OMG. Ironworks. I think that was the pun I was thinking of!

  • I've been toying with a character based on Jim Butcher's Codex Alera's fury crafters. And maybe have the char become friends with a Canim werewolf. As with your idea; manifestor.

    I am a caffeine heathen; I prefer the waters of the mountain over the juice of the bean. Keep the Dews coming and no one will be hurt.

  • ^ What? ... I meant that I was just thinking of chant parodies, like:

    Ironworks / Lodestone going:

    I am the core of my iron.
    Electricity flows through my body, Magnets flow through my blood...

    [Something Something]

    Unlimited Ironworks!


    Not the best parody, at all. It works much better with things like Ribbon, which has internal parts, so you can go: I am the thread of my ribbon... etc.

    I'd also need something to replace the "Unknown by death" and related, which I don't know what.

  • A manifestor that manifests ball bearings? The usual-sized small ones.
    They could also be a devisor or gadgeteer that makes items based on their ball bearings, like high velocity bb guns and so forth.

    That would be very effective, if there were enough of them... Although, a flyer would be immune to the SlipperySkid...

    I am the roundness of my bearings,
    steel is my body...

  • "Augh, I can't chase you because you filled my car with ball bearings!!!"

    bb pistol, bb machine gun, bb railgun.
    bb frag grenade.
    the ever popular "slip on this" trick,
    make your own buckshot.

    How would you get the energy for those weapons? ... I guess making her not just a Manifestor... Or she has power gems or holdouts or something...

    well, most of those ( not the rail gun) would be do-able with gunpowder, or another accelerant. For the rail gun, a high capacity battery? If they were a divisor or gadgeteer, in addition to being a manifestor, they would either assemble them in the lab to use as holdouts, or carry the parts to make such things on the fly.

    OH! Not just a bearing Manifestor, but a general Metal Maker! Yeah, might work! I forget how much of gunpowder's actually metal... Some metals are explosive in water, so that could serve as an explosive... Need to fully manifest metals and stuff, else it's just colored ectoplasm, which would be non-reactive...

    How much gunpowder can a person carry, and how many shots is that??
