    ** nor can Haru Okumura be so bad at driving that the car around her becomes a fireball expanding to fill the entire road and angels and demons suddenly burst from the flames to fight each other while she speeds as fast possible, an epic battle playing out around them as the entire road become a flaming tornado tunnel then when she hits maximum speed they somehow crash into their destination...but then they wake up and the car is just fine, Haru says nothing out of the ordinary happened even though you swear that wasn't a dream
    *** bad driving does not lead to absurd trippy surreal sequences that make no sense and affect nothing to mess with the PCs and players or to be funny.

    * I cannot be so indecisive and uncertain about a characters powers and themes that I give them cosplay powers so they theoretically can have any power needed for what I want
    ** The cosplays can't be nothing but references to other characters and works I like
    *** Can't hide what those references are with flowery Exalted like names such as "Prismatic Caprine Angel", "Stubborn Inferno Detective", "Onyx Scissor Heroine", "Fallen Infinite Blade Hero" or "Azure Skeleton of Judgement"
    **** "Emerald Drills of Hope" is too obvious and fooling no one.
    I actually do not get any of those except maybe the drill one.

    In science you also write down the method to commit the atrocities so that other people can try.
    Like "We brought in our base after neutralisation 50 people we acquired because they were easy to catch and close to the factory we hid in then we injected them with the samples of blood(because it was easy to get from test subjects from previous experiments) from people infected with the two following varieties of viral infections:..."
    And "due to the neutralisation process being bashing the individual until it stops moving the test subjects were suffering from varied wounds and broken bones: if you are trying to reproduce the experiment you should check if they are in such state and if they are not bash them with a club until they are in such a state"

    I once had a GM who hated me paying a scientist, because I actually started experimenting on the zombies when he just wanted us to shoot them in the face. He did everything he could to stop me, including letting me spend points on resources and then insisting it's has to be in useless cash instead of lab equipment. I spent the entire game six points behind everybody else because of that, never got a refund.

    Couldn't just say he didn't want me building a scientist, and I'm not sure how he expected me to make use of my demolitions skills without any equipment. Annoyingly he banned my first character, who'd have fit much better, just because I wanted to use the magic rules. So I don't get why he could have bannes magic but not explicitly stated that he did not want a scientist.

    We eventually secured far more resources than I'd have begun with and I responded by arming everybody with homemade tasers and explaining exactly how I had the resources to build a railgun. That scares him because he'd only encountered the word in 40k before.

    All I'm saying is, know your GM before making a scientist.

    (For the record I never managed to use electric shocks to train zombies, but did discover exactly what parts they needed to not be the dead dead.)

    **May not question how tha'ts supposed to work, since Quarians have really crpappy immune systems.

    Like, seriously, Quarian physical intimacy in most cases is "link their suits up so that their personal environments match up" and this is considered to be a major sign of trust because it's very dangerous.

    If Shep romance Tali and they consummate their relationship, then despite taking every possible precaution and Tali pre-dosing with anti-biotic and immune-boosting supplements she still gets a bad infection from the ambient microbes she gets exposed to in the process.

    Unless the 'harem' is completely platonic, I'm just seeing that ending with a lot of sick quarians.

    It wouldn't be platonic. Thats why its not allowed Rater! not everyone is as boringly thorough, sensible and focused on safety as you! I'm already too cautious in real life, gaming and roleplaying allows me to take risks and have some excitement for a change, so whenever people insist on treating their games as if it was so much like real life that the characters don't take some risks that make things fun, it kind of saddens and confuses me. problems like that are what allows drama like "she loves me but she'll get infected if we get too close" or "we need to find a way to boost Quarian immune systems no matter what" which fuels characters actually going to do things and be driven to succeed! otherwise the only dramatic personal plot you can do is one character getting kidnapped so the other rescues them.

    * Cannot depict a character who has achieved Chim as a cartoon character who cannot be stopped or defeated, but exists only to do wacky or comedically sociopathic things and be a chaotic hooligan without really changing anything
    ** Even if that is what most players become when they achieve such power in Elder Scrolls
    *** the idea that Vivec went through a "funny skyrim youtuber" phase where he just keeps restarting his life to do random challenges or skits in his time for the lulz is funny though and would explain a lot of the Dunmer's stories about him though.

    Klyntar symbiote renders the host immune to almost all infectious diseases.

    In other words, infecting th Quarians with Klyntar would mean that the Quarians would no longer need their environmental suits.

    Klyntar symbiote can also adapt to their environments and process breathable gasses for the host to the point of being able to keep a human alive in orbit without oxygen for several months, meaning that they wouldn't even need environmental suits in hostile environments, as long as the environment wasn't too hot or too loud... Though ideally, they're going to want at least some oxygen in the atmosphere.

    A healthy symbiote also doesn't need to eat and can nourish its host, meaning that unless their symbiote has a deficiency the host doesn't need to eat. If they do eat, the symbiote can store excess nutrients more efficiently than the host's natural digestive system and consume any organic and some inorganic matter that the host can't process, meaning that they might not produce waste.

    I don't know if klyntar hosts need to drink, but...

    Basically, it would solve all of their problems. They wouldn't nessesarily be able to take back their homeworld, but they'd be able to find a planet somewhere that nobody else is interested in and start a colony.

    In addition, the reasons the Quarians as a species have week immune systems is because they evolved to live in symbiosis with a variety of microbes and co-opt microbes that infect them... But it doesn't work with viruses and bacteria not native to their home planet. Theoretically, this should mean that a symbiotic lifeform like a klyntar would have an easy time adapting to a quarian's body.

    The problem is that mass infecting people with Klyntar never ends well.

    Last I heard they do produce waste; that was the ‘drool’ Venom makes. Of course that was leftovers from eating bullets, normal food items might be easier...

    Yes, that is the idea.

    * I cannot try to apply real physics to comic stuff.


    * If I'm running a cosmic horror game I should inform the players before it starts.
    ** Suggesting that maybe combat characters won't do so well does not count.
    *** Cannot have the eldritch horrors have significantly more hp than the rules say they should, just to avoid the old 'hockey stadium full of explosives' trick.


    * Cannot enforce ammunition tracking and realistic loadouts.
    ** Mainly because of how many weapons my combat characters tend to carry.

    Since we're on the last post of the last page, I'm gonna make the next thread.

    Counting votes... With two votes, it looks like my suggestion one unless there's some post hiding from me.

    Will link when posted.
