Sure, let's have a bonus round.

Aaron lounges near the ship.
"So, uh... Gladius, do you and Marron have any past besides the issue of you insulting her written backstory?"
"I think at this point it's fairly obvious her real backstory is 'Unfortunate enough to be created in ©haos's mindscape and everything went downhill from there.' But anyways, is there some REAL bad blood between you two, or do we have a real chance of being able to focus her anger onto Chaos and make getting more people out of the mindscape intact feasible?"

I take the MMP orb.

I put two points into STR.

No. Strife isn't happening. I'm not in the mood.
Plus, I killed him enough times in Terraria.
But seriously, I don't want everybody salty angry at me.
I don't feel happy playing the game like this, and if people continue to be huge pieces of crap towards me I might find myself leaving for some time.

@Teag2: We seriously just want the Hydra Mask. Seriously. You've not given a sufficient reason that you need it over Twin beyond the 4-STR bonus, which is easily replicatable with the Skull Cap with zero downside to you (as you haven't invested into INT; there is literally no difference between 0 and 1 INT aside from the numerical value so your spells are intact). Twin REALLY needs that mask, FAR more than you do. Can you PLEASE just give it up to Twin?

In response to Ire: YES, we can buy a copy, but that's half of our gold and we really do want to save that stuff for the healing items we will inevitably need.

May I suggest cloning the item? It won't cost much. (3 gold? 3 gold.)

One thing I'm curious about is what happens if we try to clone Temmie Armor.

Originally posted on 2016-06-23 05:46:00

@teag2. We have tried to be as reasonable as possible, but people really put a lot of effort in making this build for Twin. I know that you want the Mask, but y'know, it'd be cool if you could chuck it to Twin. As a bonus if you do, you can get one [1] free request for a terrible mspaint drawing by yours truly (I do really good terrible artwork in paint)!

There's very few people that I can stay mad at, and I honestly don't want you to be on that list. If you choose not to trade your item, I guess I'll be kind of disappointed, but I won't pin this on you for the rest of the time you play Chaos for. (also, you won't get any awesome/terrible art )

Since I'm basically trying to auspistice here, this will be my only post on this, I am not in the mood to participate in a debate.

Meh, fine. He can have the mask.

The Operative, seeing as the battle is over, sighs and wipes off his katana again. Just in case. Never can be too careful, after all. He turns, wandering over to the core to stare at it for a while.

"Rest softly."

He almost considers petting it, but seeing as that could accidentally wake it up, decides against it. Let sleeping Cores lie. If nobody else has grabbed the Shattered Memory Orb yet, he turns and sprints off to the Cave Of OCs just to nab it, then runs off to the Antidisestab- fuck that name, I'm just gonna call it Boat. Once there, he promptly grabs hold of the crafting table.

He grabs 8 of the Durasteel Ingots, promptly blasts them with very hot lightning in order to weld them together, taking a glance at the Hallowed Bars as well. He nabs 1 of those real quick, deciding to use it to reinforce and imbue the Durasteel sheet with whatever the hell the enchantment causing the Hallowed Bar to be Hallowed happens to be.

+Hallowed Durasteel Sheet - an incredibly strong sheet of metal, impervious to all but the hardest of Diamonds. And Zetta's bullshit.

Grabbing up a handful of Iron Ingots, as in, however many y'all fuckers have left him to work with, he uses the power of Cyborg strength to begin bending them into shape, accompanied by lightning blasts to heat them up and make them more pliable. Slowly, chains begin to form, made of tiny chains linked together, all tightly secured with each other... basically, he's hand-crafting chainmail, and pretty high quality at that, welding it together so that every one chain ring loops around inside of eight other chain links. He stares down at the result.

+Handmade King's Chainmail - glorious chainmail, so named due to the pattern typically being reserved only for kings to wear.

Seeing that he has made a truly magnificent pair of items, he seems about to give it a rest. But then, actually, it's not complete yet. Focusing his lightning, he begins to heat the Hallowed Durasteel Sheet once more, expending a huge amount of energy due to the sheer durability of the sheet of metal. It glows red hot, then white hot, and even then, he doesn't stop, making sure to heat it up to the point where it's almost too hot even for HIM to handle. Only then is it even possible at all for him to slowly, gradually, bend it into the shape of a chestplate, very obviously sized to fit himself. Ambient lightning can be seen sparking from his body as a few of his circuits overload from the strain, but gradually, he manages to create the chestplate. He exhales loudly, electrocuting the Handmade King's Chainmail into being about as pliable, then swiftly crams the chainmail into the chestplate, gritting his teeth. Something inside him can be heard splintering faintly... finally, once the chainmail is inside, nice and snugly fitted inside the chestplate, he decides to put the chestplate on.

Hallowed Durasteel Sheet + Handmade King's Chainmail = Unyielding Chestplate

Unyielding Chestplate (at least what I'm hoping the stats turn out to be)
+3 AC
+4 MHP
+Slight resistance to knockback effects
-10% less dodge chance
-2 maximum move distance (because an AGI penalty would be too harsh for what's basically a glorified Metal Plating)
-50% lightning resistance

For those of you about to point out that the stats go against the AGI-focus of The Operative, shut up. I'll sort that out with due time, and once I do, he's going to be very tough to kill in a fight.

I think thats a bit too much info on one piece of equipment. Reducing AGI is easier than reducing Move and Dodge.

It's easier to manage as a stat, but it's also harder to compensate without having to use equipment slots. Which I'd rather use for other, more useful equipment.

NotMary, finally deciding that some new armor is in order (especially after what the Operative is trying to make) and takes literally all of the titanium ingots and lumbers over to the crafting station.

MODIFYING CURRENT ARMOR...

After re-purposing his repair nanites to temporarily merge the titanium ingots together via molecular manipulation (and... stealing the last wire bit), NotMary finally emerged with...

MEC-6 CARAPACE (Body)
+2 AC
+4 MHP
+1 HP Regen
-15% Dodge Chance

MEC-6 CARAPACE (Head)
+2 AC
+2 MHP
+1 HP Regen
+10% chance of being stunned by lightning attacks

Ouch... there goes the titanium

>Rejoice, I guess!

Originally posted on 2016-06-25 02:07:00

yey updops
With this advent, I believe I will do something like Engie and rework my character entirely.
Skillpoints:
5 Extra
5 from HP
2 from MP
6 from STR
18 from AGI
3 from SPC
Total: 39 skillpoints

So, I respec and perform the following actions.

Character Name: Teag2
HP: 21 (33 points left)
MP: 16 (27 points left)
STR: 1 (27 points left)
AGI: 4 (15 points left)
INT: 4 (3 points left)
SPC: 2 (0 points left)

Weapon: Wrench
A staff but it's a wrench instead

Helmet: Engineer's Hardhat (reskinned Mana Circlet)
Armor: Engineer's Vest (reskinned Mage Robes)
Trinket: Nobody seems to want the Mechanical Worm, so I'll take it for now unless somebody else wants it. Should work with my Sentry.

SKILLS: Ice Pillar, Heal, and Sentry (I purchase the Sentry Tome. I've never tried to spend the party's gold before, so I think it is justified.)

SPECIAL ATTACK: Build Buffer
COST: (to be balanced by Ire) SP
Effect: Teag2 builds a Buffer with 40 HP, 3 AC and crit immunity within Range 2 of him. It lasts for 4 turns or until it is destroyed. The buffer grants the Buffed! effect to friendly entities (players, summons and controlled enemies) within Range 3 of it. The buff grants +2 AC, 3x minicrit chance, and +2 HP Regen.
FILLS BY: Healing Teammates (x2), Sentry Damage (x2), MP Regenerated (x3)
MODS: +2.5 Buffer HP per 1 SP, +1 HP Regen granted per 2 SP, +1x Minicrit Chance granted per 2 SP, +20% Crit instead of Minicrit chance per 4 SP, Guranteed Minicrits at 10 SP and 5 of all other stats, Guranteed Crits at 14 SP and 7 of all other stats (probably never gonna get that but i can dream)

Total Stats with Item Buffs:
21 HP
22 MP
999999999999999999999999 1 STR
4 AGI
6 INT
2 SPC

...weren't expecting that, were you?

Also, I finally did the Helicopter design. It can be found near the bottom right corner of the ship design page!
