Meta-Mind Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 ...This list fits so well with an idea I've been throwing around since the last "powerless characters are weaker" debate.<3Now, to make firework bombs as distractions... BZPRPG TIME, where you could have one post talk about dinner, and the next about lunch. Time is beyond relative here.There's no reason not to put lasers in the palms of planet-sized robots.

Toatapio Nuva Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I saw a lot of guns in Ko-Koro, but I'm a bit suspicious about them. I mean, doesn't that make auto-hitting a leisure? No one can dodge bullets, although sometimes players may think of a solution, but not all the time.

Silvan Haven Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't think that anybody is going to be making local guns that can shoot with anything better then shotgun spread accuracy and a higher then anyone would like chance of blowing up in your face.

Ghosthands Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 As the creator of the powder in question, I would say that making a flintlock-style firearm would be reasonable, but probably nothing above that tech level without being Foreign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace bullet with arrows and it makes at least some more sense. I'll just have to get my characters turned into Toa and change all their masks into a Hau, lol. By the way, how does Toa-ization work in this RPG? I assume you cannot just decide to turn a Matoran into Toa... but can a Toa character give up his or her power to become Turaga and use the Toa power in creative ways? Or to turn someone else into a Toa? My BZPRPG profiles - Viima, Lai Lai Kirgan, Jarkale, Hile, Tuli + Kavala, Khervos, Thira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Coffee Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I was solving the same problem with Fiera. Transformation has to be staff approved, and from my experience you're more likely to get away with matoran-> toa than toa-> turaga. Good luck getting more than one to address the problem here though, I wouldn't give the guns much thought. They have been here with the skakdi and vortixx anyway, and if the Akiri players are sensible they will only provide the tech to decent players who will not abuse it. ALSO, Nuju said you can get the powder w/o approval - there is a lot to be done between powder and a bullet, let alone gun. I believe guns and their ammo fall into the 'need approval' category. === COFFEE GUZZLER ===BZPRPG profiles-Chronicles of Tara-Ascension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
