BZPRPG News and Discussion

[25K Now!]

To become a Rahkshimon Master, you must defeat the six Piraka and take on the Makuta himself.

[Voxumo]

Oh come on! you all are just now making the pokemon pun? I compared antidermis to the masterball not too long ago.

 

But none the less, oh great and powerful Nuju, have all the masks been claimed yet that were in the vault?

[Constructelf]

Apparently, a Jutlin, two Shelek, a Crast, an Elda, and a Rode are still available.

 

Need to make a bid but have no dedicated evil characters...

[Voxumo]

I'm somewhat curious what an Elda would even do... I mean yeah you could see a person using an iden... but what else? Even if let's say voya-nui exists in the bzprpg, I would assume you would be too far away to even pick up on the mask of life.

 

And uh... just realized I only have one real evil character in my line-up.

[They]

The piraka are technically un-aligned.  They are evil, but I'm sure if someone gave them a good enough deal they'd take it...

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

If we are comparing the Rahkshi to Pokemon, then explain Zaktan's more than six Rahkshi.

[Keeper of Kraata]

Piraka break all the rules. I bet they send out more than one at a time, too.

I guess you could see invisible people (great for security guards!) (Huna, Iden, Volitak), but beyond that, not much. You could also do that with a Rode or an Arthron (for the first and last ones), which makes it redundant.

He got hax.

[Mr. House]

Boom goes the dynamite!

 

The Ko-Koro Gate is breached.

[silo]

YAY!

Mortem might actually escape now

[Daniel the Finlander]

Good job guys, our defence is going so well..

/s

[Razgriz]

nah

[Silvan Haven]

I feel like an Elda in this game would be a general finder mask.

[Hitoshura]

Finder mask?

[Silvan Haven]

A mask that lets you find stuff. Instead of just looking for the mask of life it would just look for whatever you wanted.

 

Within limits of course.

[The Lorax]

So like a rode without the lie detector? Wherever there is something hidden, the Elda would give its user a heads up.

[Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva)]

And now I've done a thing.  This is probably not gonna end well.

[Silvan Haven]

Less finding hidden things and more acting like radar of some sort.

[soularin]

Yeah, I imagine an Elda would just give the general location of an object. The user would've had to have come into physical contact with the object in order for the process to work, probably. I assume it wouldn't work on tracking living beings, but then again thats just an assumption. Seems kinda useless, unless you're someone like me who's always misplacing their keys.

Nah, an Elda would be great.

 

"Elda, tell me where the public indecency complaints are."

 

"Somewhere underneath the table."

 

"Thanks Elda."

 

And use it on bigger and more important things.

 

"Elda, where is the Blood Kanohi?"

[Silvan Haven]

I'm not sure about the coming in to contact part, but something like that would be far from useless. There are always stuff that people want to track.

 

Onewa's lost mask comes to mind.

[The Lorax]

That sounds an awful lot like Sulov's Kanohi Kimi.

 

The Kahoni Kimi allows the user to track people or objects. These people or objects must have been pre-marked by the user ahead of time through direct physical contact, but once that contact has been established, the user can thereafter know exactly where the object or being they seek is. This location is summoned voluntarily by the user of the mask; they have only to think of what they want to find, and they will know where it is. A caveat of this mask is that it can only hold a limited number of items in its "database", and that objects marked longer ago will be forgotten faster, and become harder to locate as they age.

 

[25K Now!]

Huhm.

 

Then what can the Elda theoretically do that the Kimi can't already?

[Silvan Haven]

I was thinking of a limited version of that with a few tweaks tossed in.

 

You don't need to pre-mark the object but the user would need to have a good idea of just what they were searching for. Also a limited range and it only gives you the general area of the object.

 

Of course I have no say on how the mask will actually work, these are just a few ideas I had.

[NorikSigma]

I think it's a surprise.

 

Suddenly we learn of the location of "an object of immense power". When the player gets the mask.

[soularin]

Oh dear, Onewa's Komau. Poor Kughz has been trying to get his paws on that baby for a lonnnng time.

[25K Now!]

Gotta get that Mask of Life.

[Silvan Haven]

Po-koro in general has had a bounty out on the thing almost as soon as it vanished.

[25K Now!]

Doesn't Ambages have it right now?

[NorikSigma]

Yes he does.

 

Darn Ambages, grabbing everything of use.

[Silvan Haven]

Last I checked, yes.

[25K Now!]

He still in Ko right now?

 

Because I'm wondering how he'll react to the invasion.

[NorikSigma]

That was what I was hoping to see.

 

But EW is busy :' (

[Simulacrum]

So like a rode without the lie detector? Wherever there is something hidden, the Elda would give its user a heads up.

 

That's how I've always assumed it worked; the Biosector description is "The Kanohi Elda is the Mask of Detection. It allows its user to see nearby hidden beings, such as a Kanohi Huna user", so assuming the BZPRPG doesn't change that, your description sounds right.

[Silvan Haven]

AMbages left for a trip of the island some time last chapter. Last time I saw him Ambages was talking to Kongu.

[25K Now!]

Huhm.

 

He'll be pretty disappointed to his powerbase invaded.

[Franco]

The Kimi is only useful with things and people one can touch, as mentioned earlier. The Elda is the lazy man's mask.

Edited September 20, 2014 by Own Personal Quixote

[NorikSigma]

He's got dat sweet dough.

 

Probably has 20 fortresses elsewhere.

[Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva)]

Speaking of said invasion, man it's getting hard to tell what's going on and who's doing what.  >_< I guess this is what happens when you join an RP several years into its run in the middle of a small-scale war.  I hate to complain, considering the bad timing's kinda my fault to begin with, but I do kinda wish Joskander had more to do than just shoot randomly and hope someone notices.

[Not Quite Dead]

Well, the gate is blown open right now. You could enter the city, find your way to the citadel or something.
