You will grow larger, but it isn't a 1:1 ratio! Slimes poop too!

You can eat virtually anything of nutritional value, given enough time and energy!

You can only split into multiple slimes after at least tripling your body mass, which likely will not occur unless you really want it to because A) it would make you a mother and B) you'll probably evolve first!

@King Cosmos
Both of your assumptions about Ardur are correct, actually! Grinding a skill IS effective, but only to a certain level. I like to compare it to martial arts--the simple quote goes that Bruce Lee fears the man who practices 1 kick 10,000 times. It's true that by repeating a technique the student gets better at it--but to be a true master of a single technique, it also makes sense that after your first 10k, you probably want to do more repetitions that aren't so...monotonous. You can stand there and do a roundhouse kick from your rigid stance, and you'll get good at it. But then if you practice doing a roundhouse kick on a moving target; if you practice doing it after countering the opponent; if you practice doing it at different heights and angles; and so on and so forth, then you continue to get better.

In other words, there will be diminishing returns, and spamming stuff for level ups won't really work until you spam them in a more creative way--like your idea of trying to use multi-targeted versions of the same spell.

If you wanted it to be in a similar vein of 'increasing the chances of success' it could be something as simple of a skill that lets her know how well and how efficiently a material could work with another? At a low level it'd only be a general idea of perhaps how 'good' or 'bad' a material would react with another. At higher levels it could let her know how potent an ingredient is, how well an ingredient would react with another, and if that particular ingredient had any special or odd properties.

Basically just a type of analysis skill for alchemy. Effectively, 'increasing chances of success' would be written in practice as 'I can tell how well this reacts with something, but now what the effects are until the skill gets stronger/I discover it myself through trial and error.' With the 'chance increasing' bit basically more or less being intuition, a bit of educated guesswork, and previous experiences. sort of. Not sure if I'm explaining it right, but that's the best I got at the moment. The skill itself would get stronger by discovering new items/ingredients and using said item and ingredients in alchemy. A helpful tool, but one that only grows as the user explores their alchemical abilities.

Brilliant idea, it does this now! Feel free to change the description in your Character Sheet to reflect that!

Aha, glad you approve and that I could help.

I edited the end of the collab post a bit - TL;DR, I'm gonna have Ash go and see if she can pilfer some tools/bowls/things that look useful from the goblins.

Hey there, I was interested in this RP and was wondering if any roles in specific needed to be filled before I made a character. I am interested in the Wisp race however I can also slot in for Pixie or whatever if needed.

@floodtalon we currently have three Pixies and one Wisp I believe. Probably better to go for a Wisp.

@floodtalon is it just me or did you just change your signature twice?

Edit: and now a third time! How often do you change the damn thing?

@floodtalon
Is the genderswap something you would consider absolutely, genuinely vital to the character's personal narrative? It kind of seems there just to be there, which is exactly why I made mention of genderswaps being unpreferable in the in-depth version of the CS. Also, Mana Orb is non-elemental magic damage, not piercing, and Lesser Force can only be used to manipulate things like a pair of invisible hands, not for combat.

@Lucius Cypher
The Past Life is supposed to be a human from our version of modern-day Earth, not a denizen of the Demon King's world. Also, any carry-over Skills from your Past Life are decided by me after I've examined the complete draft of the CS, though I'll certainly take your preferences into consideration. And we start off with nothing in the inventory and no equipment, only gaining that over the course of the RP itself.

@CriticalHit@Old Amsterdam
All four of you are welcome to join! You might all want to look over the first post of this tab, since it has more detail on the CS and what I--and the Demon King--are looking for.

Calm down there, Zaheer. XD

I just fell in love over a reference. Fuck.

Also, I've read every single OOC post now and will be reading over all the approved CSs and the IC over the next day or two, depending upon time.

Is there a race you're lacking in? I was considering a lizard or a rat sheet after seeing there were like 4 pixies and 2 wisps now. I know there's a slime as well (it's crazy how informative the OOC was, though I always skip over CSs that are in the OOC).

Also, I can't remember if quotes notify sooooo....@Zeroth

EDIT:
I see 2 lizards and 1 rat, a second slime, plus those mentioned above. I'll be looking to make a rat unless you have a preference, good sir.

Personally I don't have any preference for the numbers of each creature, now that we've got at least one of each. Another Dire Rat would certainly be welcome, but ultimately it's up to you!

It's fanart of Leviathan from Worm by Wildbow. Of which I'm doing a fanfic, and planning an RP of, and am in an RP of.... I'm not obsessed. Who said that?

@Zeroth
Rat it is!

I'll look to have a CS tomorrow or Sunday, if possible. Maybe tonight since I'm not going to be able to sleep...

From time to time, everyone may want to check the 0th (lol ain't that an appropriately coincidental name) post for my announcements. Things like updates to the NPCs, summaries of the story once we get further in, etc.

Thank you for clarifying what the spells do, I was unaware. As for the reason for the genderswap, the reason for it is that Mourningstar wants to be as far away from their old life as possible. They are trying to completely reinvent themselves as a person and they believe that by choosing both a non corporeal form and a completely different gender they can distance themselves from their past self. If you want I can change the background so that Mourningstar was always a female. I just wanted to do something interesting.

I resisted the urge for a whopping half hour before I was hooked on this crap. I'll be filling out an application shortly.

Question, though. Am I restricted to a rat if I roll a Dire Rat, or can I have another small animal creature that can be construed as similar to it, like a kiwi bird or a guinea pig?
