Samayou Tamashii HAHAHAH all your threads are locked but mine is up and running for extra time, eat it suckas!!!!!! Too bad your post is bullshit. You're seriously trying to say that Afton can't cut your barriers with his supernatural strength (I'm familiar with the character), but you can deliver a devestating blow that would utterly destroy a limb with your momentum taking away from the power only using one hand which is (presumably) his non-dominant hand? And not only that, he's doing so with no error in his aim and with perfect timing so that escape would be, quote, impossible? And this was done in the part of his psionic mind that was't distracted by putting up a wall in such a perfect place that Afton couldn't move and wasn't affected by the exertion of doing so? What level are these psionic charges, anyway? You're using them for free here, so they can't be worth an actual charge. Charges require preperation posts in the fight. These are pulled out of your a** whenever you want them. What's to stop you from putting up barriers all around an opponent and completely prevent them from moving, since you can seemingly use these as At-Will powers. What keeps you from creating a platform in the middle of a person, splitting them in half? And don't tell me you can At-Will a level 4 charge, because that's completely ridiculous, even just as a barrier. And what's this mental stability thing? It doesn't make sense that the more Psionics you use, the more stable you are. The variant rule from D&D is sanity points, and they DEcrease with each Psionic power you use. Not to mention, how does this affect the fight? Are you all of a sudden extremely adept at doing anything mental just because you say so? Are your powers stronger because of this? You're seriously annoying me with how you powerplay.

...uhhh....who are you? crying
I am not sure of your purpose and I will be frank and polite, if you don't like me the door is over there. *points stage left.*
Now I have pleaded my case to the Player controlling Afton, her next Pm to me will decide my next course of action but as for the details of my character honestly, it is none of your business. The OOC discussion of my abilities in the tournament are solo for me and the Judges.
Now if you would like to kindly and as always in a friendly manner discuss the details I would be more then happier, Psionic Theory and Character Evaluation are some of my favorite things to do. I got work for the next 6 hours and I am no s**t holding the Psionic Extended 3.5 handbook right here in my lap.
Just keep note Gaia and DnD are nowhere near the same, in fact you seem very knowledgeable in DnD so you and I both know what is written on page one 3.5 DM guide. Hell it is in the title me lad. sweatdrop

I'm just someone who's watching the fights. My purpose was to point out something unfair in your post. You personally, I don't really care about you. I'm dealing with your posts only here.
I think it is very much my business if there is an issue with the competitive balance of a character in a competition, as well as the business of everyone else who can or could have faced you.
A lot of what you're doing is Powerplaying. There are things in your post that indicate you either don't understand or are changing the actions or perceptions which Afton has. An example would be that Red describes Afton 'gracefully, taking a smooth step backwards', while your post has 'the large man stumbled into it', implying that he is more caught off guard despite the character's familiarity with such techniques as walking on air and less apt at dodging you than he should rightfully be. You also specifically contradicted the notion that Red could cut through your platforms when she said she cut through it, and instead stopped her blade, minimizing the strength the character possesses, which has specifically been noted as supernatural. On the whole, you seem to consider him far less competent than he really is.
On the other hand, your character flawlessly performs difficult maneuvers with no ill effects and no margin for error. Logically, his trajectory should have been affected somewhat by being attacked in the middle of his roll. He also would have some difficulty putting a great deal of power into his swing since you have him crouching and one of his legs is extending outward, something which would throw him completely off balance and cause him to pull the strike, minimizing damage. He's also only guiding the weapon with one hand, and that would naturally throw his aim off due to the lack of guide hand. This is on top of the poor motion feeding into the strike itself; hammers, like a baseball bat, are swung ideally with the full body. You are also making a cross-body swing from left to right, so if you were leading with the left hand, you're missing on the attack due to the staggered grip you stated you had in the previous post, and if you lead with the right, your strike is weak because of the awkwardness of that motion. We can assume the grip is maintained through the roll because having the hands too close together would cause a loss of stability through the rolling motion and make that whole move impossible to do safely or effectively. The only thing that could possibly make this a damaging move is the weight of the weapon itself, which you said weights 20 pounds. I've been hit with 20 pounds at decent speed before. Far from "utterly destroying" Afton's knee, he'll probably buckle for a moment and have a large bruise later, plus a lot of pain.
The other part is pulling these platforms out at will from your mana pool. They don't have an established strength in the hierarchy of charges given before, so it's tough to judge just how difficult to break they should be and what they should protect against. If they're too strong, level 4 perhaps, you're getting huge power advantages over most others who need charges prepared during the fight. If they're too weak, however, as a level 1-2, they can be broken too easily to provide you with any real protection. There's also no information regarding the mental stability percentile and how it interacts with the actual posts or his mental powers, whether strengthening or weakening them. This makes it hard to react to because there is no context to react appropriately.
So, simply enough, I'm asking you to do two things. And yes, I do mean asking. First, please understand that powerplaying isn't cool and respect the level of competence Red is putting up for Afton and what your character can reasonably do. Second, please give just the most basic details of these platforms so that there is something to help guide the reactions needed in-fight, such as a general feel of how strong they are and what it costs you to use them in character.

I feel like I am being put out as a bad guy, o well i guess.
I would not say anything against another character and I am not saying I am perfect, I am posting my perspective and letting her post her perspective then if we don"t agree we meet in the middle.
Now as for my character I believe the information should be learned as you go and vice versa, hence why i don;t study people's profiles because no matter how hard someone tries a level of meta-gaming comes into play one way or another.
Regardless I talked to Vin and it is all settled. sweatdrop

Epic Myth It was a good match nonetheless. No lie. You're not the toughest fire user I fought. But you did the a lot more damage. =P If Joe fights another fire user. I might give him 15% fire resistance. Cause damn man.
Depending on how this fight is judged, we may or not be meeting again. I wonder, who was the toughest? I know I limited myself artificially by only giving Fireside set abilities/spells, I need more flexibility.

I know I limited myself artificially by only giving Fireside set abilities/spells, I need more flexibility. *shrugs* Getting burn is no easy ordeal. But I do remember Joe did a number on Fireside. wink As for flexibility. The power set you have already deals a large amount of damage in all different levels. Close Up. Mid-range. Far. Joe's power set is moderate to low to tell you the truth. I just use the flexibility of his powers to make a difference. ;D It's the reason why I got Joe's profile in on the first try. You and others had to do revisions.

Fighting Fefnir I'm just someone who's watching the fights. My purpose was to point out something unfair in your post. You personally, I don't really care about you. I'm dealing with your posts only here. I feel so un-loved. gonk look i ain;t trying to be a d**k, i don't nor am i trying to power-play or be god or ******** people over. I am just trying to have a good time, post some creative s**t, experiment with my character at much lower levels then I am use too. you make some valid points, you make so not so valid points. Now vin looked it over, read what he read and posted his judgement, thus i have complied with his wishes. I am all about compromise, so much so it drives me insane sometimes. Vin says my platform could stop the sword or absorb it, leaving me un-harmed which is how I responded. However he says I need a cool down. Force Wall: A wall of force that spans before Samuel to protect him against range attacks or explosive assaults. The barrier can be thrown up almost under a second and can be thick enough to withstand a grenade blast before needing a surge to keep it up. It only lasts the initial 4 seconds before or can be discharged before then at Samuel's will. It is an 8 by 8 foot wall of invisible force, to increase its size/durablitly requires more charges. No components required. [Psionic Cost: 4 charges] That is the abilitly I was Pmed when I asked for my profile back, nothing about it says a cool down so i worked with but, but trial and error so now Vin says I need a cool down, honestly I agree it is for the best. I am not trying to be un-fair, I am not trying to ******** people over or make anyone feel inferior, i am trying to role-play a good fight is all ya know.

All this talk of meta games annoys me -.- Mainly because of how low tier Thoma is, sure he's the creme of the crop when it comes to humans and sure he has his lil tools, but we have 3 elemental benders, from what I read, 2 demons that make humans look like peons in terms of power, and then whatever the hell Afton is (Not keep track of all the fights.)
Still though, I guess when I win it'll be all the more glorious >.> Though I do intend to give Thoma an equalizer when we level up...

I think afton is a human with celestial blood or a celestial blessing maybe? Not sure i tried to humanize Samuel as much as possible for this as a test for the HoH. Trial and error really.

Wrong.
Fireside is a Mage who uses fire. Not a Bender because he doesn't have that much flexibility.
Joe's a bender. And I'm guessing Vash too even though he doesn't focus on water bending primarily.
