Nato G Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah, there was some character trying to rile up the people against the Akiri. Putting up notes about the Sentinels being a militia and all that sort of thing. I think the idea was to cause civil unrest and eventually a revolution, but nothing's happened in a while.

Krayzikk Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Heeeeeeeeeey guys. So the boss is going to be handling most of the Exo-Matoran stuff through Nuparu over the coming days, but there's one thing I wanted to clear up tonight because we all saw a lot of talking about it in here. The Exo-Matoran are immune to manipulation from both Toa of Iron and Magnetism. This goes beyond general equipment/pet rules (though those also cover the Ex-Matoran) and go straight to in-game reasons. The Exo-Matoran were made, at least in large part, from materials taken from old Rahkshi armors. As those armors are not exactly normal metal, Toa of those elements can't meddle with them. This, of course, also means that Rahkshi are immune to manipulation from those elements. 2 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

I think that's partially because he was only accepting demagogues. I'm pretty sure he got a decent number of offers from mercs, criminals, pirates and the like. This, of course, also means that Rahkshi are immune to manipulation from those elements. I wasn't aware of that. Interesting.

On the other hand, Kraata are made from Makuta. And Rahkshi are made from Kraata. So Rahkshi are made of Makuta, which is pretty darn cool. Also means Exo-Matoran are made (partially) of Makuta. Fun.

I have this whole moveset practiced IC to deal with them that way. Probably has something to do with the fact that not many people joined in. I think that's partially because he was only accepting demagogues. I'm pretty sure he got a decent number of offers from mercs, criminals, pirates and the like. He wanted PCs who actually believed in the cause. The few people he did get like that, never did anything. Edit: We don't know that the armor is made from Kraata in this universe. I find it more likely that Makuta made them out of actual armor and stuff rather than dumping his slugs in EP. Of course the fact that they are immune to elements now gives me all sorts of wonderfully inventive ideas that will be sure to make Krayzikk hate me all over again.

Keeper of Kraata Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Then again, I only have one character directly affected by this; and yeah, he can't affect them with his powers. Sword still does the same (admittedly small) damage it did before, though. But yeah, not to keen on the armor now; only a matter of time before it goes EVA. Edit: In-Universe, we don't know that the Dasaka are actually Ce-Matoran/Toa, doesn't stop us in discussion. Edited January 3, 2015 by Keeper of Kraata 1 The times, they are a-changing...

Nato G Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 But Rahkshi are still vulnerable to every other element, right? With the obvious exception of certain Rahkshi being safe because of their variations.

Krayzikk Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 They're as vulnerable to elements as they ever were. You throw a lightning bolt, it'll do what a bolt would. Same with a fireball and everything else. You just can't directly affect them with iron powers or with magnetism powers. For example, you can't fuse a Rahkshi's joints with iron or magnetize its feet together.

Keeper of Kraata Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Even as a Fe-/Fa-Toa, you can still affect them, just indirectly. They will not magically phase through a steel girder a Fe-Toa throws at them. Edit: Ninja'd. And now I want to make a Fe-Toa that throws steel girders.

Nato G Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm seeing a slight issue here. There's been a decent amount of Rahkshi killed in the game's past, as I understand it. What's to stop characters from scavenging pieces of dead Rahkshi to make suits of Fe/Fa-proof armour? 1 Embers - A Bionicle Saga - Chapters/Review Class Is Out - A Farewell To Corpus Rahkshi - Chapters/Review BZPRPG Characters - Minnorak, Kain, T'harrak, Savis, Vazaria, Lash BZPRPG Mercenary Group - The Outsiders - Description - History - Base Ghosts Of Bara Magna - Ash Tribe - Precipere - Kehla, Somok, Skrall, Gayle, Avinus, Zha'ar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeper of Kraata Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Nothing. I'm guessing without the Technology! advantage the Exo-Matoran have, the wearer of the armor is just as vulnerable as they were before. The times, they are a-changing...

Krayzikk Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 There wouldn't be a point. Fe-Toa aren't allowed to directly affect people anyway, and a Toa of Magnetism can't do much with just them. Plus Rahkshi armor isn't weak stuff, most people just plain wouldn't have the tools to make a suit of armor. Plus there's also the fact that possible within the game =/= permissible. Hence why Fe-Toa don't just plain wreck everyone. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Keeper of Kraata Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) On the subject of elemental powers, since Crystal is not an element canon to the main universe, how do Cy-Matoran manifest their element passively?

Keeper of Kraata Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Can we get one? All matoran have an innate, passive manifestation of their elemental power; Ta-Matoran resist heat, De-Matoran have extremely sensitive hearing, Onu-Matoran have night vision, Ba-Toa can resist pressures, etc. Hmm... Maybe Cy-Matoran have denser skin, and are more resistant to harm? Extremely organized? Can identify geodes and crystals by touch (or through rock)?

Nato G Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think Cy-Lesterin have enhanced eyesight or something, don't they?

Keeper of Kraata Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Not all elements are created equal. Bo-Matoran have pre-loaded extensive knowledge of herbs and plants. Ga-Matoran can hold their breath for a long time. Edit: According to BS01, they also have their eyes protected from bright light.

~Xemnas~ Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 On the subject of an elemental trait for Cy-Matoran, when I first made my Cy-Matoran (actually, I came up with the prefix of "Cy" if anyone ever wondered) in the beginning of the 2012-2013 arc, I suggested that they would have thicker armor/skin. That was really the only thing I could think of at the time.
