Crimson Jester Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Honestly, chaps, I'm not quite sure what I know at this point. As I've been kindly reminded, it's actually been 3+ years since I've had my fingers in this game haha. On that not, I suppose I've some reading to attend to. No, CJ's been here for the current iteration of the game—I know that much. If I have, I don't totally recall anyhow, haha. It's been ages. Your name is the only one of those in this discussion that I even recognize; I feel old and out of the loop! "This spot marks our grave; but you may rest here too, if you like."

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm relatively a newbie and thus cannot contribute to this discussion. That said, hiya CJ! On the subject of my theoretical wheelchair-crab from the previous page, btw, I was thinking MNOLG mini-crab size. It's for a classic-era-styled Matoran, y'see. I figure it'd be thin enough to fit through wider doors. It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts.

Voxumo Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 So i'm somewhat curious about the Tryna. Canon-wise we've seen a single toa manage to raise an 'army' of undead sea creatures and successfully, though temporarily, counter a living army. Now I would imagine that there is some unspoken limiter on the tryna in the bzprpg... My question is how many corpses could a single toa, or lesterin, reanimate at once in the bzprpg? And for the sake of argument let's say the corpses in question are generic toa.

And for the sake of argument let's say the corpses in question are generic toa.I would say that it would depend on how good they were with their mask.A Toa splitting their focus evenly between physical, elemental, and mask training I could see possibly getting away with one, maybe two corpses if they were really focused at the time. Lesterin, having only elemental resistances/effects, and Toa who forgo either physical or elemental training might get away with three. Anything greater than that would most likely require a character built soley around mask usage.Not a staff member by any means, so I could be wrong, but since I try to err on the safe side, that's how I'd attempt to go about it.

Krayzikk Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Actually, this is something that used to be covered extensively in Echelon's early days. As a result, Ghost could probably tell you better than me, and he's free to correct anything I say here. An army is not possible, not on your best day. Two or three is usual the maximum, and the more you use the less control you have over each one. Especially since, by their very nature, their movements aren't exactly very precise anymore. Obviously someone who specializes in the use of their mask will find controlling them easier, but use of other powers will still take away from the concentration available for the Tryna. In other words, don't think "vast undead legions", think "a handful of undead servants". 5 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Ghosthands Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Krayz hits the nail on the head. What I was told back in the day (and as far as I'm concerned, it still stands) was that when you control a corpse using a Tryna, you're not giving it orders: you are puppeteering its every movement. As such, the more corpses you're controlling, the more you have to split your concentration. The effort and focus required increases exponentially with each individual thrall. Two or three is a good benchmark for the maximum you can reliably control--and that's with practice. Edited March 2, 2015 by Ghosthands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowl Nightwolf Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 While I don't know what this mask is or how it works I do recall a rule here against army building. It was brought up to me when I asked about being a Nui-Jaga breeder as viable backstory to how my Po-Matoran got his. So I would think a mask that could reanimate the dead would be out of the question to begin with. On the other side however if allowed and played with Staff supervision(Sorry staff). Then as long as it was a mindless horde of everyone doing the exact same actions the limit could be higher. I recall however an episode of Beast Machines(Transformers) where Megatron tried to control 3 types of swarms of drones(Jets / Tanks / Bikes) and while they were working in unison it was no problem, however once he had them target different individuals it became exponentially harder. Even being divided by 3 types. So he then created 3 generals to control the swarms of drones...

Prowl Nightwolf Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 well I am still here, just I only have 2 Matoran characters and a Nui-Jaga in the playable stages. So don't have much in the form of interacting until something happens with the Ko-Wahi expedition so the Ga-Wahi counterpart can progress... I think that is what the hold up is...
