Can someone help me build an agent?[G5]
Janitorial Closet replied to Namine's topic in Geneforge Series
Remember that the Infiltrator is the same as the Agent. -
Average Times to Finish Game(s)

The Lurker's answer is pretty much what I was looking for. -
I have another question to ask of you guys (I do that a lot.) How long, on average, would you say it takes to finish each game? (If, for some reason, you want a faction to base it off of- G1- Takers G2- Barzites G3- Shapers G4- Shapers G5- I don't know, Rawal(ian) if that is a faction)
-
I am going to buy this game sometime in the next 2 years (probably after I finish 4, which will be after I finish 3, etc.) and I wanted to ask those of you who DO have this game this question- What are the five factions, and will you give a short overview of each one (as in, who the leader is, what they believe in, what their goal is, how they seek to achieve that goal)? And yes, I do realize that there is the Most/Least Ethical Faction thread. This is a different question.

Does Absolute Power Corrupt Absolutely?
Janitorial Closet replied to Nioca's topic in Geneforge Series
Personally, I would actually use a canister in real life. I would probably get addicted to them, and kill anyone who gets in my way of another one. ...I like power. -
I picked #3 because I just love "pawning" my enemies for some extra cash at a "pawn" shop.
-
(I still haven't found my 3.0 book) You could just make canisters minor artifacts, and use that system for how rare they should be. (Unless you are/have a DM that does this-- DM- "Ok, you find another Hand of Vecna" Player- "But I already have 4 of them! How many hands did this guy HAVE?!")

The main problem with the D and D system as opposed to any other system is the fact that level determines the effectiveness of you magic, by far much more than any innate talent or special training you may have. so maybe add an EFFECTIVE level in your casting of a certain kind of spell when using a canister? But some spells aren't affected as much (as they should be for that use) from equivalent level. For some spells, you might have to have a canister add TWO effective levels or even THREE effective levels, to make them worth it for the "arrogance". Or, just to solve the problem, don't have canisters! (Any other class could be ruined if they use a canister- How would canisters affect them?)

(This shall be the post I edit when I find my 3.0 book) The reason I am suggesting you use in-game classes to achieve your Shaperie ends, is that you want to make sure that the class won't be over/under-powered when compared to Monsters of your CP and other classes of your equivalent level.

(Everything I say is assuming you are playing AD&D 2 or DND V 3) You could just make a wizard/sorcerer focusing on Conjuration, and use the Summon Monster skills primarily. I'm going to need to go check my books to confirm it. Making your own class would be quite weird, but if you get REALLY creative, you could make a Prestige Class (DND V 3/3.5 only ((I assume)) ) that gives special abilities to coincide with the Summon Monster skills. I shall go check my DND books EDIT: Right now I can't find my 3.0 book, but if you happen to be using AD&D 2 you can make a Shaper-esque character, if you choose a Specialist Wizard that specializes in Conjuration, and learn ANY skill that starts with Summon, or is the spell Monster Summoning #. Apart from that, since I don't feel like browsing the 300 spells at the back of the book, you can also pick any spell that resembles a spell you can cast in Geneforge. That could get you SIMILIAR to a Shaper, you just wouldn't be able to make Geneforge-specific creations. (You could just pretend that the monsters you are creating are the Geneforge equivalent, but I don't know what you would call them if you spawned Kobolds.) When I find my 3.0 book, I shall keep you posted.

Just in case you guys haven't read enough from the G5 page, this is a quote which tells you what side won G4- "And now, years into the rebellion, the war has settled into a gruesome stalemate." Clearly Trakovite, yes?

Geneforge 5: Overthrow - June Update
Janitorial Closet replied to Spidweb's topic in Geneforge Series
With having the game take up the entire screen, I hope there is an option in the preferences menu to speed up cursor movement, like G1. -
Geneforge 5: Overthrow - June Update
Janitorial Closet replied to Spidweb's topic in Geneforge Series
Hooray! More info! Go Jeff! And I think I know what the new class looks like. Unless you changed everything. XD -
Geneforge 5 - Possible Sects
Janitorial Closet replied to Punctuation rains from the heavens's topic in Geneforge Series
You guys keep saying that two of the groups would be moderate shapers and human rebels. If, as you guys say, the smaller groups would have to band together to survive, wouldn't those two groups temporarily band? Both of them want to get rid of the unbound/drakons so wouldn't they, for the context of G5, band together into a temporary super-group? Just food for your thoughts. -
^Fail. Personally, I think the greatest creation is the servile. Dude, your own personal slave!
-
Wouldn't it be awesome if GeneForge was called GeneExplosion? Doesn't make much sense, but its nice to dream.

You know you can TinyUrl the link to the image, and cut down on the characters used.

I knew it! My username IS awesome!

Magic? MAGIC?! He's a witch! Burn her- I mean, him! EDIT: Man, I just realized how off topic that is.
-
Okay, I think I'll bring up my magic shaping some, then. I don't powergame so it shouldn't annoy me too much. =)
-
So, slightly off topic, as I am currently playing as a Servile, would it be worth it to get my magic shaping high enough to make wingbolts?
-
Well, I couldn't help it. It's a good quote!
-
Thanks, guys!
