Its definitely not a full plan just an initial direction since we seem to lack one completely. We definitely should develop it a bit

He's already speaking in rhyme, so he might. It's worth asking as part of talking to him about other stuff, anyway.

We got it as soon as we shoved Odr into a Twist. Not to power it, but as an 'added' effect.

No. Hugr has nothing to do with it, as soon as we tried infusing Odr into a Twist we figured out that, in theory, we could change or make them that way. The issue is that we don't actually know how to do it. We have all the tools to make Twists, or at least adjust existing ones, we just don't know how to use them...but we really and profoundly don't know how to use them.

I'll need a Hamingja roll (30 dice) for your exploration.

Rolling g dice
Edit: I threw 2 2 many because math is hard, disregard the two great dice at the end.

Sure! I'll even give you a couple Reward Dice for it. 2, to be exact.

Shard contributed greatly to that so maybe toss one of those dice his way instead?
Very interesting, maybe we could try a Boat Soul in the next life. Especialy if we choose Sigurdr as our heir.
A person of culture i see.
Caitiff are my favorites, i make 90% of my characters Caitiff.

Discounting those last two dice, it looks like 7 Successes to me.

We should definitely learn this btw. These are massive bonuses that, while not usable in every fight, would make life or death struggles against superior opponents more survivable. A great move to pull out against the final boss of our life.
Edit: Like, if this works how I think it does, I think we'd end up with 7 more shapeshifting slots, 6 DR, 6 bonus damage... that's a lot of stuff.

Oh absolutely. Hooknails went from death's door to sending us running for our lives when he used it.

Finished plotting out what happens in this update. It'll be a wild one, that's for sure.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Yeah, that's 7 successes. Still technically a success...
We'd actually gain no less than 18 Shapeshifting slots as well as DR 7 and +7 damage. It's wild. The down sides are immense, but we probably do want it...if we ever get the opportunity to learn it.

Oh, I thought it was like 'add hugr to hamr for shapeshifting slots', not 'every hugr is a shapeshifting slot'. That's... even more intensely insane, yeah.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
It adds them to Hamr, but every point of Hamr at 7+ is a shapeshifting slot, so +18 Hamr, +18 slots. But yes, it's absurd.

Casually throwing out basic attacks with 20 dice each and doing 10+ damage.
No wonder people use it despite the drawback.

Using it for dice is kind of a waste IMO, but yeah, you can do some seriously silly stuff with berserkergang, from an easy +30 damage to attacks or DR 30 to things much sillier even than that.
