~Xemnas~ Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 You might be on to something. :PAlso, it's completely possible to conjure "meteros" much like how Hiemalis conjured falling boulders of ice: By having your toa create the elemental structure in the air.Well, there's your answer, Constructman. But you have to create the stuff in like the atmosphere to get the fiery effect. BZPRPG Profiles Ghosts of Bara Magna Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorWhenua Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 A hundred feet above the toa and in the atmosphere are two different things; the first is possible, the latter is improbable. If you want a fiery effect, you're going to have to have a toa of fire as a partner. BZPRPG Profiles / Critical Acclaim / Complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Ah. Quick, everyone read up on them so we can defeat Hiemalis! /joke. Thanks for the explanation Magz. :)Again, when you see Hiemalis, run. You probably won't survive your encounter with him unless you're really good at fighting.Not to say Hiemalis isn;t a valid threat, but almost every PC who has fought him has lived. Arguably, he killed Jaron. But that doesn't really count.He dealt out some damage in the hospital, yes. Injured some PCs, trashed the location. But the second was going to happen anyway. And all of the PCs survived that fight.Heck, whatever the reasons, Seventh Squadron survived facing him with only one "casualty". And Kol was kidnapped, rather than killed. And they were Matoran.Is Hiemalis a valid threat? Heck yes. He is rather well played, and his abilities are used in creative ways. But is he as much of an unstoppable force as people make him out to be? No. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

~Xemnas~ Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Kray, you cray. Sit down, man, nobody likes you. You're just saying that because Kray caused Hiemalis from being unstoppable to being a regular old PC. But yes, he is stoppable, but you have to be good at fighting to beat him. And you should use all the protosteel weapons at your disposal.

Krayzikk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Kray, you cray. Sit down, man, nobody likes you. Not saying Hiemalis isn't a threat. He is. PC or no, he did take on a large group of characters and come out relatively unscathed.But, he isn't as unstoppable as people think. He isn't on the same level as Heuani, and Heuani was injured by some clever and creative RPing. Hiemalis is easier to hurt than Heuani. Hiemalis can be hurt.EDIT: And see, people like me.

Tactically, or with regards to playing.If you are annoyed about being "targeted", please send me a PM and we can work things out. This is called "roleplaying" in an interactive, sandbox setting. And yes <grammar fragment>, one CAN just spawn random characters and go after someone in this game. It's called character creation. It happens very often. In fact, I might argue it is the essence to most of the small profile, mass produced characters populating this world. http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9733&page=2&do=findComment&comment=546628 Link for the BZPRPG 2013 arc profiles.

They Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I have made an executive decision. Consequently it only effects myself. However, I would love to see others do this as well:Remember this is not a game of win or lose, but a fabulous communal story. As such, arguments over pointless moments of delusion or brief forgetfulness of the rules seem mundane, even repungent. I will not partake in them. If I have a problem, I will communicate in a pm wit the specific player(s) involved. I just want to say I love all of you as players -- without all our characters this world would be nothing but a game board without its pieces. We are the sum of everyone's parts. That's why I love this game so much.
