But like, does Al think they wont stack for some reason? Why isnt he stacking on Rapid Fire (III), Rapid Fire (V), Offering, Barrage (XI), Barrage (XIIRW), Barrage (XIV), Barrage (WotL), and Magick Frenzy until multicasting a flare on 20 creatures also hits them with ... 32768 bullets ... each ... with 100% chance to hit ... 65536 if that double cut you ate upgrades to quad cut eventually.

Each bullet would do a quarter damage though, so it would hardly be overkill at all.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, we've got new perks! Some decent close combat Perks for if/when he finds himself up against another magic-resistant demigod, but the big one is Absolute Range. A bit situational, but it means he doesn't have to pay attention to aiming if they're within range.

Yeah, I could see myself crawling into that menu and never coming out.

~~Re: Gaia~~

The current version of the Gamer System doesn't support mail to guest accounts.
Please update this so I don't have to relay any more family letters.
It's super awkward.

P.S. Why does everyone else get the serious and thoughtful Gaia, but I have to deal with Terra-tan?

Terra-tan: "Read my letter to Diana!"

Al: (clears throat) "I've long thought of how I should word this..."

Terra-tan: "No! Do it in-character!"

Al: (uses "Disguise Self" to look like Classical Greek Gaia)
Al: (recites Terra-tan's letter)

Diana: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Diana: (overwhelmed by "The Feels" and hugs Alchemist)

Al: (still disguised as Gaia) :o "OH JEEBUS YOU'RE CRUSHING MY SPINE!!!"

Diana: (not listening to Alchemist and continues to hug him)
 
Huh. Wonder Woman cannot fly (in like 90% of continuity) as part of her powers. What's going on there? Does she have one of those Legion Belts which grant flight and a personal force field?
 
While I know that alchemist hasn't been grinding I'm surprised he hasn't gotten any other skills above 100 besides dragonkind. I would expect his more commonly used skills to be in the 101-105 range
 
P1 has no idea that Al has lapped her a few times, level-wise.

She really needs a mentor who knows how to get the most out of her Gamer system.

It's too bad she tried to beat the only one who could help her to death.

Young Justice falls into that last 10%, according to her specific wiki entry.

You are right, fusion at least should be a bit higher.

He's been a bit preoccupied with a handful of other issues. Like trying to get his adopted ninja kid settled in, getting his home built up to accommodate an extra person.

Life. It has a way of getting in the way of the grind, y'know?

I really want to see Wonder Woman read that damned letter. Or for it at least to be clarified whether or not she got it, because holy hell, that is probably one of the most potential important bits of data she will have ever gotten in a YJ fanfic. At least from what I have read. Especially with the implications written into it.

"I've seen alternate futures, and you're royally screwed in the absolute worst ways. So you can either learn from Alchemist, who will teach you to be an unstoppable juggernaut, or you can lean on Player One, who will feel bad when you're an undead abomination."

Kinda ties into my previous post about how these Game systems UI seem to be tied to the Users subconscious.
I don't think she can get any better since she simply doesn't have enough personal experience and understanding of gaming.

In universe, Lexcorp is the gaming giant. Not to mention this being a land of magic, science, and mutations. So games don't really have that much flair.

In fairness, despite her system being "unrestricted", she has much harsher limitations than Alchemist. She has literal level caps, where he does not. Her Dungeons are far more more time consuming and far less valuable than his Quests. And he also has the time and freedom to pursue everything at his leisure while she's still 13.

She could be much further along if she made better decisions or if she knew ahead of time that the Gamer System hates melee builds, but she would never be able to actually keep up with him unless she was always in his party like Jinx.

"Eh, sure." Alchemist stood up and stretched. "Beats digitizing the paperwork over Superboy, Powergirl and Miss Martian all coming down with Chickenpox."

"...They what?" Tiffany hadn't seen them today and she -had- wondered why... But that seriously wasn't on the list of things she'd thought up!

"Yeah. Strangest thing, they all got sick at once." Alchemist shrugged and rolled his neck with an audible crack, then stopped and more gingerly rolled it back. "Ow, okay, that hurt."

I love that everyone has missed this little gem. Hmm, I wonder how they all came into contact with Chickenpox at the same time >.>!
 
Huh. No wonder Gaia wanted Alchemist to party-invite Diana for that one fight; that's some heavy exposition to get so late.

Given the likeliest transmission vector, and a certain character already having it - should we call it 'ninja-pox' instead of chicken pox? To digress, their regular proximity means the three are going to catch it from each other, if a common source doesn't infect them all at the same time.

Sidenote - how the hell is chicken-pox so mercurial that it can infect martians, kryptonians, and humans alike? And should Superman be worried about catching it from Connor?

Because, in D.C., everything is human in each aspect until proven otherwise. Martians are likely inhuman in terms of flexibility of morphology, mental superpowers, and flame fondness, but, with nothing stated to the contrary, can be assumed to host the same diseases, be vunlerable to the same age-based magic, attend the same schools seamlessly despite the issues of learning incompatibility between different mental inclinations and capabilities, possess compatible genetics, walk and talk with human-local accents and styles, be comfortable with human technology despite the equivalence of a human who knows how to use a three-dimensional printer being able to use a medieval forge because humans can use human technology so martians can too, and, obviously they will have shared aesthetics, especially in matters of interpersonal appreciation, despite being a species of shapeshifters with considerably different natural inclinations of form.

As for the pox? I am kinda surprised that they hadn't received a basic inoculation against the War of the Worlds scenario, given that they were, presumably, meant to be in operation for more than a week, and keeping their pods completely sterile would be an extra hassle, but maybe they wanted them to have a short shelf-life until they were approved for deployment? Or maybe they were built by antivaxxers?

I find it kinda dubious that Yuffie would be the source, given that it would be extremely unfortunate timing(or enemy action?) for her to contract it as she was leaving her homeworld, and she seemed to be largely isolated from the D.C. world, so seems unlikely to be a source. Then again, the timing seems to match, and an effective infection is, I believe, more contagious, so maybe they just never got a threshold-passing does of pox until Yuffie arrived?
 
Alchemist: "The reason it's called 'chickenpox' is because it turns you into a chicken. Yippee-ky-yay, mothercluckers!"

Pox Victims: *Panic, because they don't know any better*

That -was- an actual rumor that went around back when the Cowpox vaccine was first introduced. People are kind of... Yeah. Let's use the word 'Excitable' since it's a helluva lot nicer than the alternatives.

To be fair to the kids, they do live in a world full of magic and mad science (and one is alien to this reality, one is alien to this world, and two are pod-grown clones, so they literally have zero life experience to tell them otherwise), so they, at least, have a genuine excuse. The cowpox thing is just dumb, and people are generally pretty stupid.
 
I can't help but to suspect that Alchemist probably has access to some propagation-based perks buried somewhere in all of those perks that could probably create a chicken-transformation infection. I am not sure if Magic: The Gathering is on the list, but I vaguely recall hearing about cards that could change card-text, and there are surely other sources for such, so I could also see were-wolves being converted into were-chooks, presumably with the same infection vectors...

D&D 3e has the Curse of Lycanthropy spell (well, 2 versions, really, but let's go with the more sane one) that infects the target with a form of lycanthropy of the caster's choice. Any animal can be inflicted on a person so long as it's either carnivorous or omnomnivorous. Chickens are omnivores, given that they eat meat, bugs, and plants, so you can inflict (dire-) chicken lycanthropy on anyone you want, so long as they're either humanoid or giant.

Fun thing is, a murder of crows (ie, a swarm of them) counts as one creature, since it has a single statblock for the whole swarm, so you can inflict someone with the ability to turn into a swirling swarm of pecking, scratching, screeching, cawing, clawing carrion feeders.

Don't remember if I've mentioned this but a pretty good world late game wise would be Terraria Calamity Mod. As long as you stay under the radar and don't get in Yharim or Supreme Calamity or really any post moon-lord bosses your pretty set for good materials and items. The reason why you especially shouldn't get in their way is because Supreme Calamity could more then likely kill Darkseid While Yharim could bitch slap them

Where is the bad side to this?

And going by your username, I'm guessing you're a fan of this tactic.

I could come up with a few minor downsides, such as living in a society where were-critters are killed on sight regardless of anything they might or might not have done.

Otherwise, I quite like it. Gaining a very powerful character template for basically free? Heck yeah. And being a were-critter is cool, so long as you're not a were-whelk or something. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily, if they don't like you), the caster gets to choose the type of lycanthropy. And guess what? A were-legendary ape is fully possible. Look at those stats*.



*For comparison, a perfectly average adult human has a 10 in every stat, and it's almost impossible to go beyond 18 without magic or a *significant* amount of effort. We're talking *easily* Olympic level at 18, with above that basically being superhuman.

And here I was waiting for the consummate Troll known as Alchemist to break out in a rousing rendition of "Gold Gold Gold Gold."

Of course Dwarves don't really love Gold that much..

They just tell it that to get it into bed with them.
