Quote from: Towel_NinjaYeah, it is indestructible but i already explained its downfall. the dm can just have someone pop up with the proper crystal to destroy the metal.
That sounds as annoying as providing a real challenge to Superman: shall we use Kryptonite, or Kryptonite?

its the only thing i could come up with to counter the indestructible-ness.

or i could have it break any time a dragon breath attack is used on it. one of the two. i like the crystal idea and usually you wont come across the crystal unless your playing in the 6th age. The metal is rare and like i said the crystal with the metal is rarer. IF someone does infact have the crystal chances are very unlikely they will be like "hmm i think this is the crystal that formed that metal!" and then proceed to poke your weapon. each weapon only has one weakness like i said. not just ANY crystal will break the metal down to its liquid state.

I like the flex metal, but I agree with the indestructible being a flaw. Perhaps it's only indestructible in a limited quantity - you could make a sword out of it, and perhaps a shield, but not a suit of armor, preventing players from forming a suit of flex armor or even a flex breastplate, where only a few gaps that allow movement providing soft spots. (Though I /know/ my players would make a flex codpiece.)

I normally don't do this, but sigged.

i like the idea eclipse because one of my players just asked what would happen if they had a piece of armor crafted out of say 2-4 different sources of flex metal. would all four crystals destroy it thus making it a little easier to break or would it simply make it so you have to hit it on a piece of the armor where that certain bit of flex metal is more dominant. i couldnt come up with a good answer lol xD also he asked if it would just destroy that bit of the flex metal but since the rest is intact would it still be the same armor with the same strength, i came up with a yeah probably for this xD.

Quote from: Towel_Ninjaits the only thing i could come up with to counter the indestructible-ness.
But why does it have to be indestructible? Why not just seriously tough? As is stands, what I want to do is build a dome out of it, stick a tank underneath, then wreak merry havok as I run about underneath my indestructible shield.

i think i might just make it really really tough.. And the reason i didnt think of the players using it to b*tch me is because my players and i have decided that no one shall go out of their way to exploit stuff like that or i/one of the players shall smack him down with my  wooden katana lol xD

I'd like to hear more about the races and their cultures in your world, especially the SkyFallen and how/if your races differ from the standard interpretation. The inclusion of steam and gunpowder into your setting is also interesting, and I'd like to see how you incorporate it within your setting along with traditional things like magic and monsters.

Skyfallen: chunk of planet falls from sky :o ... how the hell did you come up with something that awesome? Lotta homebrew races I'm not too keen on (like humans/elves/halflings/dwarves... only different). I don't even know anything about these guys and they're already interesting as hell.

People used to cataclysms: This reminds me of a scene in that old Hercules cartoon that was just hilarious. I know hilarious is hardly what you're looking for in successive plagues, but...

Steam and gunpowder: I've been an advocate for a long time. I'm looking forward to seeing how you incorporate it.

Ok... i havent been here in ages(this thread) and wel i decided to force myself to update/change stuff. especially with people asking me to go more in depth (it helps me to keep going). Also i will open a discussion thread in the next few days so you can of course, discuss arannia. I might have a small update tonight but ill list the top things i will update on.


---
SkyFallen - I have seen some people asking for these guys so i will try to come up with a good update soon on them

Steam tech - Here is a mini update, i have decided to not only include steam tech but also Clockwork tech and some Magitech (steam will be a "hybrid" of the two and will of course be better then both in some ways blah blah blah..)

Other Races - I will try and update on these races and i do plan to have them vary from the normal phb description.

Arannia - Ok, i plan to start with one continent that will be a healthy mix of races (so i can better introduce them all. )

Flex Metal - After some thinking i have decided to largely rethink this part but it will of course keep the flex abilities.

Like i said, look forward to atleast on update tommorow but beyond that i cant promise anything. (have to learn to play my bass)

You asked for us to ask for what we'd like updated. I'm interested in the races, as I said earlier. I don't feel you need to make them extraordinarily different, though: if it looks like a dwarf, drinks like a dwarf, and smells like a dwarf, you might as well call it a dwarf. Helps people envision them more.
