Unless anyone else has objections, then, we'll assume Deathwish's power bypasses most prime invincibilities and has infinite range. Just like his sleaziness.

Good point. Especially since Deathpoint's power didn't work on him. What about teleportation PIs like Obliteration's, or astral projectors like Regalia?

I hope you realize this realization of mine will really mess with my mental image. It's a good question. If his power is a strict transference of damage, and if the cause of the attack has no relevance, than that theoretically would imply that his power could harm or even kill Epics like Steelheart or Nightwielder by bypassing their prime invincibilities. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something to bear in mind. Personally I'd lean towards that implication, but I'll freely admit that I'm biased towards making my one High Epic in The Dalles overpowered. So I'll leave the decision to you guys.

Can Terra levitate dirt? If not, then she might have a hard time suffocating him when he's in flight. Also, are you aware of the Teen Titans character, also a geokinetic, who's also named Terra?

Strange, it's only Monday here... ...which means I'm getting upvotes from THE FUTURE!

Good question. I'm going to say that any burn that destroys segments of his skin will trigger his prime invincibility, so unless Blitz can purposefully deliver lower voltages in his bolts, there's a good chance of him frying himself if he goes up against Deathwish. Thanks for the list. None of The Dalles Epics will have an easy time against those guys--this could shape up to be a really awesome battle.

Post any worldbuilding ideas you want. I'd love to hear whatever you've come up with.

"Style that'll take your Breath away." "We're the highest Heightening of fashion." "All our customers Return for more quality service." "Tired of Lifeless fashion? Invest in our assortment of suits and dresses." "Don't be Drab. Check out our variety of colorful clothing options." "Wear Nal-this; look totally distinct from Nal-them."

"Go to the Pits of Hathsin. Do not past Go. Do not collect 200 boxings."

Puppies and 'Murica. Two of my favorite things.

What would happen if Deathwish went up against him? EDIT: Where can I find a list of Frequency's gang members?

Now that the main wave of pandas has retreated, the City Guard will get started on retrieving, Reading, and delivering work-for-us-or-leave ultimatums to all the new Epics in town. Who wants to volunteer their Epics for facing Frequency's gang?

Awesome post, as usual. To be honest I've never considered the possibility of a shapeshifter infiltrating The Dalles. I'm sure Vondra has though, and the last sentence the real captain sent off--coupled by the fact that the flesh-manipulating Panda has already attacked today--should probably at least arouse suspicion.

It is now the duty of The Dalles City Guard to test this theory. By which I mean, Arsenal will make a forcibly casual suggestion of an official City Guard bikini party, his eye twitching the entire time.

Camo clothing, M16 rifles. Pretty standard military gear, albeit very well-stocked. Also, after reading a little about Taylor Swift's history in the media, I wonder if anyone will come to the erroneous conclusion that showing her belly button is her weakness.

It's hard to argue with your point about intangibility, and logically if I were given the choice it'd be what I'd have to pick. However, the male aggression hormone in me find the idea of sheer invulnerability and dominating a battlefield like Achilles of old strangely appealing. Also, Mitosis' power. Being able to divide myself into as many distinct copies as I want would be awesome, even without the PI aspect. In a day I could accomplish the work of a thousand men all on my own; I could explore the whole countryside that surrounds me in a week; I could personally put an end to any war in the world solely by marching into the country and personally snatching guns from terrorists. Though granted, most of the Kobold clones would probably much rather spend their days posting on the forum than doing anything productive.

Pretty simple idea, this. If you've got a setting you love to work on but aren't ready to unveil it as a whole--or if you just came up with a great new detail or quirk that really ties the setting together--feel free to post about it here. This is for snippets about whatever creation you've got on your mind today. To start, today I solidifed how interstellar travel will work in my original setting. Humans and other races of the universe will use a form of Alcubierre drive, essentially like the warp drive seen on Star Trek; it operates by folding space around a vessel and moving the craft to a destination in less time than a beam of light could travel over the same distance. One theoretical problem with this device is that as the vessel warps through the space between worlds, microscopic particles may become caught in the spatial bubble formed by the warp drive. These particles could become "supercharged" by the experience, so when the ship slows to a stop, it would release a pulse of deadly gamma rays and high-energy particles powerful enough to obliterate the destination. Not good for colonization or peaceful space exploration. What I decided is purely speculative, and may not actually be feasible--in my setting, starships will actually turn this obstacle into an advantage. Instead of allowing these particles to form a lethal death pulse around the ship, vessels utilizing this form of faster-than-light travel will absorb the particles and use them to power the ship's internal mechanisms. Essentially, these ships will pick up their own fuel as they travel through interstellar space, both removing the threat of destination destruction and making faster-than-light travel much cheaper and more attainable for the average galactic citizen. (The destructive capabilities of the Alcubierre drive are not left untapped, however--the infamous voidrenders of the Risu Empire deliberately accumulate interstellar death-particles for use against unprotected planets.) So that's what I've been thinking about today. What's changed in your setting today?

Middle-Earth would have been a setting that encompassed three trilogies, a ten book series, and countless smaller works that ultimately lead up to a forty-book saga. Peter Jackson would become rich enough to buy his own planet.

A whole new meaning to "Put on a Bus."

I wouldn't say no to joining the conversation.

This is why more weaknesses should be public. All the secrecy splits up conversations, even amongst people who all know the same weaknesses.

Let's all do our part to make Trollamity enough of a meme that Brandon Sanderson decides to put a trollface on the cover of the third book. (Thanks. And I'm working on it. )

I see what you did there. Also, I finished my morning pony comic.

That just might work.
