    So what's really going on in Worm?

    No need for a canon character, any power from anyone in fiction, even hypothetical powers would work. Yes, so a 4-5. A squad with parahuman backup should easily be able to take on Strider if you can catch him by surprise, but that is a requirement for most mid+ movers. Starting at probably as...

    So what's really going on in Worm?

    Strider potentially loses to a single trained individual, and definitely to a parahuman backed group of professional soldiers, so that is a 4-5 right? In the scenario of "long distance teleporter", what is the functional difference between can bring mooks, has a secondary power such as giant...

    A superior power classification system, discussion and exploration.

    A meta system not designed for a world is harder to execute, because you are competing with more. A simple test here is just trying it on various characters and seeing if it works well. For example by your model would Skitter be a sensory minion character? What does calling her Sensory 1 Minion...

    A superior power classification system, discussion and exploration.

    First decide what problem you are trying to solve, then design a solution to that problem. What is the intended use case of this system? The model produced by Wildbow works within that context, it has flaws, but it is a good solution. What scenario is yours designed for?

    Pink Petals and Ninja Science: A Naruto Time Travel Quest

    [X] Throw yourself into training with Lee. You need to cover your weakness in Taijutsu quickly. That worked far better than I expected it to, I was expecting Kakashi to be far more resistant to a sudden genjutsu, or more able to dodge despite it.

    Pink Petals and Ninja Science: A Naruto Time Travel Quest

    [X] Throw a barrage of kunai and shuriken so that Naruto or Sasuke can grab one of the bells while Kakashi is distracted.

    Pink Petals and Ninja Science: A Naruto Time Travel Quest

    [X] Your room back in Konoha, the one you haven’t seen in three years because of… switching employers. The crimson dress you’re wearing is the one you wore at the very beginning of your career. That every-comforting burn of the Curse Mark is notably absent. So Orochimaru following Sakura...

    A New Tournament (Harry Potter & SG:SG1)

    Per pottermore it was Saul Croaker, and his specialty was time magic, but you have stated that you do not actually take pottermore as canon for this story so up to you if you actually use that.

    Alea Iacta Est - a Worm AU Fanfic

    Her power is being totally not Leviathan, perfectly possible she's just that powerful. Also, given her trigger event and her power it's going to be really damn hard to induce a second trigger without doing something like surgically grafting hatchetface onto her. Second triggers working best if...

    I, Panacea (Worm SI Fanfic)

    Because step count is entirely arbitrary by the author and can be made as big as wanted by just involving more precise steps? There's also the potential to not see that because of Eidolon, or just get 20 to 30 steps describing the process to ensure it would succeed. Really, leaping to that...

    QQ Minecraft

    On Curseforge there are currently over a thousand mods that say they support Minecraft 1.10.2. Plenty of options if you were looking at mods. Mods started updating 1.10 ages back, plenty have moved on by now. I tend to play modded myself too, so I know a decent amount.

    Text adventure Gamer power in mystery setting? Sounds interesting. > PUT clothes ON self First thing to do, get proper clothes on. Need that bonus in case anyone comes visiting. It's either that or READ book or READ notepad anyway.

    Safe For Work Worm Ideas thread

    Something, something, virus produces increased levels of formaldehyde and acetone while preventing the body from regulating those as normal causing it to be mostly preserved with preservation ability increasing over time? Although that'd likely lead to increased stiffness which'd make something...

    NP has been consistently MWF for months too at this point, it's the sketchbooks which are very sporadic at best. One month they'll do daily releases, and the next three they'll do no releases at all. But yeah, go back sunspark, Susan lost the hammers a long time ago and there has been a lot of...

    Of Witches and Crafting [SI Multicross]

    So definitely modded then, I can identify Applied Energistics 2 (meteor), Immersive Engineering (treated wood, steel/coke oven alone could've been railcraft), Tinker's Construct (hammer/smeltery), Archimedes' Ships? (made a ship) and most significantly Ex Nihilo (silk worms). Ex Nihilo though...

    Safe For Work Worm Ideas thread

    No. That's combining "But it was all a dream" and "They were secretly robots and not humans the entire time" pretty much, it's absolutely destroy the fic to have the ending be actually they'd lost self control and the entire thing was a hallucination so really the characters had all...

    I'm HALPING! [Worm AU fanfic]

    The two terms are basically synonyms really, differentiating is very tricky at best. That said ethics is definitely not about just measuring if something is helpful or harmful, that's a form of ethics/morality, but not all of it is utilitarian which is what that is. Morality and ethics are...

    I'm HALPING! [Worm AU fanfic]

    There's the whole question of how much morality is subjective and how much is objective, but it really does seem like it objective morality doesn't really exist, in which case it's all subjective so thinking something is moral or immoral is just based on your personal beliefs and thus can seem...

    A Vista of the Void [Worm/Familiar of Zero Xover]

    Sorain is on the right track yeah, shards aren't weapons. Vista's power for an example shouldn't inherently be a weapon any more than a car is, it's pretty much for moving things around more easily, yes you can use it for combat, but it's not a weapon. Even something like Sting isn't inherently...

    A Vista of the Void [Worm/Familiar of Zero Xover]

    That makes basically no sense. Shards aren't weapons of conflict for one, but for a more significant one that's not how Gandalfr works, it increases the users ability to use a weapon (that they're physically using, can't gain super leadership by "wielding" soldiers as a weapon against your...
