BZPRPG News and Discussion

The gum trees really help too.

 

They explode.

[Silvan Haven]

But photothermic powder causes an explosion. Sure some of the stuff would have been caught on fire, but it also would have been sent flying to land in chunks all over the place where they would not be able to do more than scorch the surrounding foliage.

Where's Lil' Wayne when you need him?

[UngluedBike]

Hey guys, can someone check my BZPRPG profile? I've completely re-written it after I was told that it was an unplayable character. 

[25K Now!]

Demons aren't an approved species.

[UngluedBike]

Demons aren't an approved species.

Not agaaaaaain........  > Is there any species equivalent to a demon? Something I can use that will just mean swapping the name, not just re-writing my profile again?

Well, there is the Valkyr.

 

Valkyr are powerful beings resembling winged Toa, who are created by an otherworldy spirit bonding with a Toa host. They have been approved for use in the 2013 arc and are made under the auspices of EmperorWhenua.

Dunno if that's quite what I'm looking for, from the looks of things a Valkyr can't be embedded in a mask. Well, unless you can come up with something that will work, without changing my character TOO much

I'll help Bike sort this out via PM, guys. Discussion closed.

I don't give up that easily. I have one final plan up my sleeve which should hopefully work. I read the rules thoroughly , so I doubt my failure this time.

If anyone has a makuta-allied character in Ko who is free at the moment, a certain Mortem needs a bit of a hand in the hospital there

There's a lot of them.

 

Mostly outside the walls.

[Nato G]

Hey, where are all of the non-combatants hiding out in Ko-Koro? The Matoran who aren't involved in the defence and stuff have to be hiding somewhere in the city, right? Or have they been evacuated?

[Relapse]

Many have been evacuated but surely there a few stragglers. >=)

Urgh, the sandstorm in Po-Koro is starting to get annoying.

[25K Now!]

It truly is. But hey, it'll be over soon^TM.

[Nato G]

Okay, so despite the fact that I've been overseas and told every day by my parents that I probably won't get a chance to go online anytime in the next month, I think I've been on BZP every single day since I left. With that trend in mind, I've decided to re-immerse myself fully back into the RPG and pick up all of my characters properly. Natharius and Zaara in Ta-Koro, Lash and Reson in Onu-Wahi, and Dayeth in Ko-Koro are all open for interaction or will be rejoining the interactions they already had going. 

 

It's good to be back... even though I was never actually really gone.

Reminds me of the time I tried to quit the BZPRPG. I left for a month and sneaked back in with no one for the wiser.

 

Same thing happened with Ty as well.

[Mr. House]

I'll be inactive for the rest of the day, so I'll have to leave interactions for tomorrow.  

[Nato G]

So, according to BS01 there's a tunnel that runs up from the Sanctum to the Drifts outside Ko-Koro. Does that entrance actually exist in the RPG?

Yes it does, and as in canon, it's hidden behind a section of the Wall of Prophecy. If you're planning on using it in some way, please PM me telling me what you intend to do.

[Nato G]

No, I didn't have any plans to use it, I just came across a mention of it on BS01, and got to wondering. Specifically, I was wondering why none of the attackers have used it to sneak into the city. But, if it's hidden, that would probably explain why. 

[They]

I know previously a pair of vortixx attempted to sneak out of Ko-Koro during lockdown via the tunnels beneath the city.  Didn't end well.  One got steamed nearly to death, and the other (Zadron) got away after a lot of damage inside the tunnels.  The Sanctum Guard seemed to keep a tight watch on those tunnels back then, and I would imagine even more so now, given the previous incident.

Different tunnels, Kughs

 

But yes, I'd expect the Guard to keep watch on the other end of it all the same.

nice post

[Nato G]

Okay, so one of my characters has a vial of Anti (thank you kindly, Nuju), but before I go enslaving a Rahkshi, I'd just like to get a sense of what rules do and don't apply to the controlled Rahkshi. Now, from talking with Nuju, I've already established that they are exempt from the no recurring NPC's allowed rule. 

 

Now, here's my question: what other rules do and don't apply to the Rahkshi? Are they still an NPC, meaning they can be killed by any player at any time (NPCs may be killed without permission from a player, seeing as they do not belong to a player), or do they count as an extension of the player character (A character's weapons, technological items, mask, and other important belongings of theirs are regarded as extensions of their body. As such, a character's important possessions may not be taken, destroyed, or otherwise affected without the permission of the character's player) that has enslaved them?

 

I'd just like to clarify before I go capturing a Rahkshi, so I can get an idea of whether this will be a good investment for my antidermis. 

Edited September 15, 2014 by NatoGreavesy

[Silvan Haven]

I would assume that they are an extension of the player. That antidermis was a special prize/gift and the affects are not something a player should be able to easily get rid of.

 

Plus, rahkshi are hard enough to deal with when feral.

[25K Now!]

And even harder once you level them up.

[Nuju Metru]

That's a good question, Nato. I'd say that yes, enslaved Rahkshi (being exempt from the no recurring NPCs rule) count as weapons and important belongings rather than as normal NPCs; and as such, they can't be done away with on someone else's terms.

[Nato G]

Yay. Thanks for clarifying that. Excuse me while I go Rahkshi hunting. 

[Voxumo]

You know, i'm imaging antidermis as the master ball of the bzprpg universe. Afterall you really don't have to weaken the Rahkshi to use it, just have to make sure you hit them... Wonder how that would work with a rahkshi of dodging or intangibility.

[Timageness]

I was thinking along those lines as well, classifying them as a really, really disturbing choice for a pet and thus sticking them in the animal companion section on the PC profile. Bonus points if you can teach it to roll over and play dead.
