Owl Girl Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 12 minutes ago, Wingslord24 said: My point is regards of what the gun looks like it's still tech-based first then whatever you explain it to be second. by your definition, all weapon sets imply technology origin. swords, axes, maces, shields, all of those things had to be invented and fabricated and presupposes the technological advancements necessary to being able to discover and use them. so samurai are coded as being technology origin, along with police officers and soldiers. don't You see why powersets inspired by origin isn't as good an idea as just creating alternate animations for already extant powersets to make them more witchy? imo, i prefer being able to just declare any power as coming from magic rather than taking a set which defines for me what my magic is and does, or even implying that my character is "less magic" than another character that happened to pick the Super Wizardry powerset. 1 g_d's lil' monster ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not understanding that a gun is a form of technology, so regardless of the origin you choose, it will inherently involve some level of technological influence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Again, go look at the available gun models. There are magic guns in the game. 1 1 Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Girl Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 costumes are a form of technology. is anyone with a cape technology coded, or is it just that we live in a technological society and so a lot of elements of technology aren't exactly considered to be "super" and are so mundane as to be common. not everybody that picks up a screwdriver has a technology origin! g_d's lil' monster ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards of look it will always be a form of tech Tech/ Magic Tech/ Living looking Gun and weapons are technology-based first read the previous post. The Assault Rifle is a state-of-the-art piece of hardware. It is equipped to handle an impressive arsenal of munitions and firing modes.

Wavicle Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 But you as a player are in no way restricted to that, obviously. This whole conversation is ridiculous. There are sooo many ways a powerset basically like what has been asked for could be implemented, most likely as an Epic AT, but conceivably in other ways. You just can't have the word Magic in the name. Everything after that is irrelevant. 1 1 Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to run head-first into the fact that Fire Breath can come from your palm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It disrupts the flow and makes the sentence harder to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
