Felix Sapiens

...
That is so very wrong.
For one, they're a subspecies of human, not cat. Two, Felix means happy and/or lucky. Fortunate would probably be the best word. Three, modern humans are Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
Taking all this into account, we're left with Homo Sapiens Felis, or possibly Homo Sapiens Sapiens Felis.
EDIT: Maybe replacing the Felis with Catus.
EDIT2: Homo Sapiens Sapiens Catus is probably the best.

Nice.

Oliver is probably gonna wear that outfit when he diplomacizifies (Totally a word) with the Schizo. Then he's gonna lead an elite five man band strike force of the military.

Heh, thanks. I messed around with fancier stuff, but it all looked odd. Besides, the Schitzians would have wanted to present him as a dashing action hero, so they went with somthing simple. Besides, had they given him a uniform, it would have come with some expected social behavior that Oliver could have messed up. Since the entire awards ceremony was one giant public relations stunt to distract people from the fact that some foreign beguilers had hijacked an army of robots and a city.

Here is my version of the map of Avbaroy, approved by the United Nations of Avbaroy:
http://www.kinogo.com/victor/maps/avbaroymap1.gif

I've modified the scale, and now Pericle Island is about the size of England. I've also added a few countries up in the North and named the continents.

What do you think ?

Szilard
2008-12-14, 10:27 AM
Awesome. Is this the whole world, or is there more? Not that we need more, but yeah...

Mad Mask
2008-12-14, 10:34 AM
It's not the whole world at all. It's just the part that was explored by hominids (Flying Landfish have their own version of the map). The whole world is about 300,000,000 square miles, and this map is about 18,564,000 square miles.

The rest of the world is mainly ocean with little islands, inhabited only by homophobic Flying Landfish.

Szilard
2008-12-14, 10:39 AM
Huh, back when SDSB started, I had this idea that Szilard came from this other continent and sailed to here to get away from Sorcerer Dude. If you say the western continent is Eustaria, then I guess Szilard is from there, or maybe a random island.

Mad Mask
2008-12-14, 10:51 AM
Given that the most unnamed islands are inhabited and under Sovice jurisdiction, it would be better if he came from Eustaria. The only hominid country on Eustaria, however, is Lockutas; the rest is Softwater Union Territory (Great and Little Trout nations). Do you mind coming from Lockutas ? If not, we can always create another nations; something small, like a city-state maybe ?

DoomITP
2008-12-14, 11:28 AM
I finished a couple of discriptions of ships that are used by my millitary if ya were interested


They are


SBS Dalgeon- The flag ship of the Sharnin air navy. Usually never used due to its immense size but it is equipped with very powerful wepons that can decimate its enemies.

SBS Anari- The Silence class of airship is equipped with long range missiles, a pair of powerful energy cannons along with it's powerful engine that could escape for any situation. This one is used by the Stealth Marines leader.

SBS Shaeta- The Garjzla class of airship is equipped with two laser turrets and one of the most powerful shield engines ever created. These are primarily used by the Sharnin Armed Forces.


remember mask. Don't have the sovices just take over vaggest. Thats where my country is living.

How will Sharnin defend itself when the United Nations of Avbaroy are going to arrive with hundreds of thousands of Sovice units and troops from the entire world ? Tell me, my friend, do you have any idea as to the power of such an organisation ? Sharnin is an impossible nation and it will be erased from existence. Like Arcania, but with more success.

We already have (had?) Dimin as a magical society without Arcanian intervention, perhaps you could just have them be a regular ol' magic nation? (In fact, secrecy at their core Dimin & Sharnin seem to have a lot in common...)

New map is up.

Anyway, here's my take on Sharnin:

"The People's Republic of Sharnin is a magocratic micro-nation founded in 902 by Dominic Sharnin as a safe haven for Percillian renegades. Although deemed too small for official Moon Elven conquest, there were nonetheless several attempts at destroying this micro-nation, most of which were met with limited success.

Because of its tiny size, few have heard of this micro-nation, and it is often dismissed as urban legend. However, Sharnians do enjoy good trading relations with the nearby nation of Vaggest, who provides them critical supplies such as food, water and metals.

As a result of their small population, Sharnin does not have an extremely developed military, with only about a thousand members. It has no navy, except for the fact that seventeen ships are listed as 'capable of offence and defence in desperate situations'."

It makes sense.


After that, don't take it too seriously when Mask intuits he's going to use the Sovices to conquer you. For one, I'm fairly certain he's joking. For two, they're my creation, not his. I get final word on them. So far he hasn't done anything too far out of line for them, but he's getting a liiiitle cocky on the wiki :smalltongue:

"The People's Republic of Sharnin is a magocratic micro-nation founded in 902 by Dominic Sharnin as a safe haven for Percillian renegades. Although deemed too small for official Moon Elven conquest, there were nonetheless several attempts at destroying this micro-nation, most of which were met with limited success.

Because of its tiny size, few have heard of this micro-nation, and it is often dismissed as urban legend. Because it has few inhabitants, Sharnin has a relatively auto-sufficient economy. With the abundant sea resources and a cadre of divine spell-casters, Sharnin has no need for outside help.

To entertain its population, the micro-nation has a large zoo containing hundreds of animals, such as elves and chimpanzees, who can be fed by the visitors. Sharnin also houses a amphitheatre where magic festivals occur, with plenty of Dancing Lights and Ghost Sounds.

As a result of their small population, Sharnin does not have an extremely developed military, with only about a thousand members. However, each of those soldiers are trained Dusk-Blades, capable of wielding sword and magic. Sharnin has no navy, except for the fact that seventeen ships are listed as 'capable of offence and defence in desperate situations'."

Is this good for your taste ?

Badass Biker
Jerkass
Deadpan Snarker

Taking all this into account, we're left with Homo Sapiens Felis, or possibly Homo Sapiens Sapiens Felis.

Shades of Gray
2008-12-14, 07:33 PM
How to make my effects, by Shades of Gray. You better take notes, as there will be an exam on Friday.


Well using Inkscape I made a gradient effect. (press Ctrl-F, go to Fill, click on the gradient button, the burst or the fade from left to right), then I made a gradient with three colours, red, orange, and yellow.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/rect24013.png
Then I drew a shape:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/path21264.png
I then copied and pasted it a buncha times, rotated them, and ended up with this:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/g22383.png
Next, I used the "Union" tool to make it one shape, Ctrl-G would also work.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/path21322.png
I then removed the stroke paint. It is at this point I used the gradient in a burst effect.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/path23803.png
Then, I altered the nodes to make them a bit elongated, I made one extremely elongated
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/path20404.png
Finally, I added a little blur, and a blurred out gradient circle behind it.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/g23981.png

For the dark Ice, I drew a shape:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/path23985.png
Made a gradient:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/rect23995.png
Finally, I applied the gradient in a burst, removed the stroke, and blurred it a bit.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/path24017.png

Edit: Once you have the basics down, you can play with it a little. By using similar techniques, I made this (Very Screen-stretching)

Well for one thing I assume Eternus would be a cohesive landmass, and there'd probably be a different waterline given the increase in drainage from the Eternus crater.

So the islands we have now were probably smaller and Eternus one greater nation, possibly with a few archipelagos and islands around it that form part of the island chain of the Eternal Ruins.

Keris
2008-12-15, 08:12 AM
The water level actually rose during the Great Catacylsm, as the BC era was during an Ice Age and the caps melted.
The Eternal Ruins (Eternus then) weren't ruins, but were still located in a circular valley. The Elwind Mountains weren't there, and most of the continents were bigger, what is now archipelagos were single islands, etc.

Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: Cone-shaped burst
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will half
Spell Resistance: Yes

No one’s exactly sure how it works, but a couple of the nerdier Sigil Prep guys have worked out a way to channel the power of mathematics into a bizarre kind of elemental energy. Algebra blast lets you use this energy, sending out a cone of elemental mathematics that deals 5d4 + X math damage, where X is equal to one quarter the square of your caster level, max +25.

Conjuration (Summoning) [Math]
Level: Nerd 9, Sor/Wiz 9

The ultimate piece of mathemagic, army of calculus functions as the elemental swarm spell, except that it summons Math Elementals (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2946646#post2946646).

Grasp of Algebra
Evocation [Math]
Level: Dusk 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

Hard to take seriously as it is, having a basic grasp of algebra can pack a wallop. As you cast this spell, you must make a touch attack against your target. If your attack is successful, the target takes 1d4+X math damage, where X is the square of your caster level, max 1d4+25.

Ray of Calculus
Evocation [Math]
Level: Dusk 5, Nerd 7, Sor/Wiz 7
Components: V, S
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will half
Spell Resistance: Yes

The ultimate revenge of the nerds. You fire off a beam of pure mathematical energy, requiring a ranged touch attack to hit your target. If the attack is successful, the ray deals 10d4+X math damage, where X equals twice your caster level, max 10d4+40.

Wall of Algebra
Evocation [Math]
Level: Nerd 4, Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Polygon of mathematical energy, with sides of one 5-ft. square/level
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You channel the power of pure mathematics to create multiple vertical walls of crystallized algebraic energy that intersect to form a polygonal shape. You can create walls arranged into equilateral triangles, squares, or hexagons. The polygon must be firmly anchored to a flat floor. You cannot form the wall of algebra in a space occupied by a creature.

Each side of the polygon is a straight line of up to one 5 ft.-square/level. The wall is one inch/level thick, and each 5 ft. section of wall has 3 hp/inch of thickness. Creatures can hit the wall automatically. A section of wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached. If a creature tries to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 15 + caster level.

However, any creature that passes through a breach in a wall of algebra must still pass through a thin layer of plasma-like mathematical energy, which deals X math damage to them, where X is the square of half your caster level, max 25 damage, with no save.

Material Component
A sheet of graph paper.



Magic Weapon Abilities

Algebraic
When its command word is given, an algebraic weapon is surrounded by floating, luminous equations, causing it to give off light as a torch. The effect remains until another command is given. Whenever the wielder of an algebraic weapon successfully damages a creature with it, it deals an additional amount of math damage equal to the square root of the base damage dealt, rounded down to the nearest integral root. Thus, if the base damage was 5, it would deal 2 math damage; if the base damage was 30, it would deal 5 math damage.

Faint Evocation, CL 5th. Craft Magic Arms and Armor, algebra blast. Price: +1 bonus

[...]

Wondrous Items

Slide Rule of Commanding Math Elementals
By performing a few simple calculations with this mithral slide rule, a full round action, its user can summon a Large Math Elemental (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2946646#post2946646), as with the summon monster V spell. If the calculations are performed with a No. 2 pencil, then the elemental summoned is Huge, rather than large, as the summon monster VI spell. Only one elemental at a time can be summoned with the slide rule.

Moderate Conjuration, CL 11th. Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VI. Cost 50,000 gp + 4,000 xp. Price 100,000 gp.

Speaking of which, When Oliver returned to his inter-planar journey, did he bring the Vendetta? Or did he just leave it somewhere in Avbroy, (maybe he couldn't find somebody to cast Planar Navigation for him).

He took the Vendetta with him, traveling in it. Then (I may make a comic of this after Skornbail) when he was going back to Avbaroy, the plane shifter malfunctioned, sending the Vendetta to Fudge Land and himself to The Citadel.

Lyinginbedmon

If you actually think about it, having an entire vehicle impervious to teleportation inside and out is actually a fairly bad idea, for exactly the reasons we're experiencing.

If there was the ability to teleport around inside the ship, we'd be able to get around much faster. Troops could be sent to the battlefield with all the speed of saying "Four to beam".

Conversely, of course, it would also mean that enemy units could teleport into the ship (Given the appropriate information, as per teleport).

This is why the Citadel's anti-teleportation etc. devices are only turned on when the shield is up, which assumes an enemy attack anyway and also makes the shield nigh-impenetrable.

BRC
2008-12-15, 06:46 PM
It's probably possible to turn the Anti-port field on and off in the Vendetta. However, those systems are currently under the Shade's control. They know they are up against multiple powerful spellcasters, while they have relitivly few spellcasters who can Teleport anyway. Therefore, they keep the systems on. They don't wany Lying to teleport onboard, take Leroy, drop a Jovocain missle, and teleport off again.
