Also, you have to run foreign tech requests past the staff. Edited November 9, 2014 by namcurtsnoC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constructelf Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Well, (shoulda worded that better), um, you can have Stralix powder grenades launched from Patero and other kinds of bombs. So you can make things go boom. What you can't have are weapons that use gunpowder to propel the projectile, so no real world guns unless it counts as foreign tech.

Mel Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Something that I was wondering about. Soraya was confuses when Girah started talking about Toa stones. This got me wondering: how do Dashi normally transform into Dasaka, and Dasaka into Datsue? Is it the same Toa energy principle? If so, what is the medium? If they don't have Toa stones, what do they have? They don't. Dasaka are born Dasaka, Dashi are born Dashi, as far as we know.

Krayzikk Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 That's... really, really wierd. Not at all. Matoran to Toa transformations on Mata Nui are exceedingly rare, both in-game and in in-game history. You'll note that many profiles don't indicate that they were ever a Matoran. Since reproduction is an accepted aspect of the BZPRPG's humanization, it follows that there are Toa born Toa. Especially since none of the PCs save the Maru are exactly like what we think of as Toa in canon. Following that logic, a Menti and a Menti will produce a Menti. And with their rigid caste structure, a Dashi could not become a Menti even if it were technically possible. Which it may, or it may not be.

Keeper of Kraata Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well, all of my toa are transformed matoran. Granted, they aren't from Mata Nui, so the argument kinda falls apart there. The times, they are a-changing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 And that's perfectly permissible. Doesn't change BZPRPG's norms, or that they're in-line with the average PC Toa, not with canon.

Keeper of Kraata Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hey, the criminal presented a perfectly valid hole in this logic. I think it might make more sense if a 'child' of a toa/toa couple grew up a matoran, then automagically transformed into a toa. Still preserves the canon life cycle that we all know and love, makes a caveat for no superpowered babies, and people may be none the wiser. 1 The times, they are a-changing...

The system's worked perfectly fine to this point, and introducing that aspect just adds unnecessary complication. It opens up more questions than it answers, and it's the solution to a problem that doesn't exist. At such a time that it does, a solution will be considered. 2 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

My Turaga question was mostly a joke.If you're talking about families, lots. If you're talking about actually birthing a child IC, none.There was this one lady who was pregnant but... EDIT: on a more tasteful note, given Krayzikk's statement, was the only large number of Matoran to Toa transformations the first of the Forced Toa? Were like, one day, randomly "Poof! Toa!", and then they had kids, and their kids had kids, and so on? Edited November 9, 2014 by namcurtsnoC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yep, that's exactly it. After the Mata fell, a significant number of Toa were created. All weaker than the original Mata, because the idea had changed from "six Toa of high quality" to "as many as possible". Makuta then used his influence to pull Skakdi, Vortixx, and other foreign entities to the island in an effort to sow chaos, both of these actions being the cause for the species diversity we have now. It should be noted, however, that Matoran are still by far the highest population on the island.

Tracking people via smell, detection of movement via vibrations (ie touch), bird eye's view, bat-like hearing, does it make food immensely more pleasurable to eat? I think the first four would be possible with sufficient practice. The last one is a no, for the following reason: logically, it should make flavours stronger, not necessarily more palatable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
