True, there are shadows, but they're not very dark ones. If he only uses shadows to see, his vision in this forest at midday would be little better than the vision of a normal person in a car park lit only by sporadic candles. That was the point I was making.
As for things that were added, there was the entire subset of his matter transmission ability that you claimed allowed him to use it with no cooldown so long as he didn't completely dematerialize, then proceeded to abuse the ability even further by grabbing two solid objects, either while still intangible or by re-materializing then de-materializing a second time in a single post. That's a bit more than a tiny bit of useless information that in no way impacts anyone or anything.
I'm not trying to be a jerk here, I'm only asking that you stick to the abilities that were approved, and the way they were approved to function.

Apparently, he can do pretty much anything to their body for a fraction of a second.
Vordak, you mention that having it affect only the portion of the body that it strikes would force you to adapt to the situation, but what's wrong with that? If you have it the other way around, where it isn't a projectile and it affects the body as a whole, you could just keep spamming it at your target until its PGing for them NOT to succumb (preventing them from counter-attacking in the meanwhile due to having to fight this off every half second or so), then paralyze them and walk up to rip their throat out. It's just as much of a guaranteed kill as your pyromancy ability was, if not more. The amount of things it can do, combined with the very distinct lack of drawbacks or time constraints, makes it OP even for a tier 7, in my opinion.
LeeRoy's constraints prevent the ability from being outrageously overpowered, though personally I would also argue that it should have a recharge time after each use, to prevent the spamming scenario mentioned above (perhaps a cooldown equal to the charging time would be appropriate, given the hugely powerful potential of the ability).

Sounds like a good time to me.
There's seven hours between the bodies being moved to the crypts and the Occult ritual, so the characters wouldn't have to meet there unless we wanted them to.
Though if they do, I feel like there should be more than just one post each dedicated to the event. Ichthys, is it alright if we don't respond to the ritual portion of the evening until after the examining of the bodies is completed?

Heh. I had the exact same thought about examining the bodies, and I was also going to have Vincent tell Atlas to carry the priestess, since he's all huge and muscley. If someone else gets to the priestess carrying before I post though, I'm sure I won't be devastated. :)
I wouldn't mind being teamed up on. It would be nice to get a head start on the others for my kill count. ;)
What shadows?
And what symbiote? You're adding new (or previously unmentioned) abilities to try and justify what he's doing, and that's the very definition of PGing.

Napalm? Doesn't napalm burn at like 1000 C?Not that i disagree with the point.
Depends on the variation of napalm, but the point I was making is that raising the temperature in an area to 1,050 degrees Celsius in a single second is more or less an unavoidable insta-kill for a character without heat resistance (which I assume he could do by activating the power three times in the same area, raising the temperature by 350 degrees each time).
It's a moot point now though if you plan on altering the ability to only affect his special liquid.
Without some visible indication that an attack is being charged, combined with the attack being an insta-hit, I don't see it being an ability conducive to fair play. The same goes for the Gamo Tan ability, which it seems can reach temperatures comparable to napalm in the space of a single second, and requires no forewarning or travel time between caster and target. That's an instant kill against any character without a resistance to heat, since they would have no way to see it coming or counter it once activated.
And there you have it. Vincent's Bio has been added.
