    @Archer Oh, the puns, the puns. That was excellent.
  3. Zath
    That was fantastic, @Paranoid King.

    Granted: all weapons are sentient and their judgement of the people who use them determines the fate of those people in the afterlife. Your bane: on every Tuesday from now on, you see the world in monochrome. I wish for energy, vigor and vim, pep in my step and a sparkle in my eye!

    These are simply fantastic. The whole screenplay format you've got going on works so well with this concept.

    Nicely done! *grabs burn salve again*

    Hey, there's my rap! Thank you to whichever moderator solved the tech issues I was having when I tried to post it last night. @I think I am here. Great roast! I'm gonna need some burn salve after that... Thanks! You got this, Kidpen!

    Okay, this is about as good as it's gonna get, so here we go. Cosmere Character Roast Battle, Tournament of Champions Round 2, Match 3: Dilaf vs. Sja-Anat vs. Yomen

    Just a heads up: I'm planning to finish my roast tomorrow, but life has dropped a brick on my face (metaphorically) so I may not be able to get my roast done and posted until Friday, or Saturday at the latest.

    That... was beautiful. The monologue part (or aside, or whatever you want to call it) in the middle especially got me. So perfect.

    Granted. Your cousin gets a little more paranoid, naturally. Your bane is that your cousin thinks the book is better than anything Sanderson's written. Surely, no bane has ever been so dire. ... I reiterate my prior wish: I wish for a stopwatch that can turn junk mail into grass.

    The Nightwatcher snorts. "Ha! That's cute," she says patronizingly, patting you on the head. You get a waffle. Whenever you pop a joint, it makes a noise like nails scraped over a chalkboard. ... I wish for a stopwatch that can turn junk mail into grass.

    Well, Ark, you weren't the only one who forgot, apparently. And unfortunately. Ah well. It happens. Nice roasts, @Silva and @Toaster Retribution! Silva, I especially liked the parts that broke the fourth wall. Serious burns on those ones. (Psst. @ILuvHats. Roast...? Maybe? If you want to?)
  14. Zath
    Uh, heh. Sorry. (Yes, yes! My plan to steal @beantheboy12's meme idea has worked splendidly... All the upvotes shall be mine! Mine, I tell you! Mine! Mwahahaha!)
  15. Zath
    Building off of @beantheboy12's frankly hilarious meme just above... (Oathbringer spoilers)

    To match wits with the which wit- To match with wits the which with- To mat which with the wits which- No, I'm not distressed at all. Not at all. Just give me a minute. *turns away, mutters to self* To match with wits the wit's witch... Excellent roast, @Herowannabe! The aforementioned death ants - Aimians comparison, salty Galladon, septuagenarian rapper... That was a well-crafted rap, right there. @hoiditthroughthegrapevine, nice parody of that Henry the Eighth I am song! What better way to roast your opponents than with an earworm, so they suffer your insults for weeks afterwards? Imagining the "(2nd verse, worse than the first)" and such in the original song's cheerful, up-beat tone makes me laugh.

    I believe that if spending Standings also reduced the relevant Resilience, it would have been mentioned explicitly in the rules. Since it's not mentioned-- as far as I can tell-- I think it's safe to assume that this is not the case. There's already a "penalty" in place for spending Standings, as you pointed out above: your dice pool is reduced for future rolls. If it reduced your Resilience as well, then why would anyone ever spend Standings except when there's no other option? And if no one's going to use their Standings, why even include the mechanic in the game at all? So the answer is no, spending Standings does NOT reduce the associated Resilience. In the unlikely event that the rules say otherwise, ignore them. If you want another opinion or have other questions about the Mistborn Adventure Game, you can try checking out the Crafty Games forums: http://www.crafty-games.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0 I've found it a helpful resource for these kinds of questions, since a lot of them have already been asked and answered over there at some point.

    Huhwhatwhywherewho? *looks at thread title* Ha, I don't know what game you all are playing, but I'm winning my game. *learns rules of the game* Oh. Storm it.

    Thanks! I've considered becoming an author, yeah. Granted! The Nightwatcher does a quick Google search, jots down the following recipe on a leaf, and then hands it to you. Ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour 2-1/2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons poppy seeds 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1-1/2 teaspoons salt 3 eggs 1-1/2 cups milk 1 cup canola oil 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract Directions In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil and extracts; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm. (Recipe from Taste of Home's website.) ... I wish for peace in our time.

    The Nightwatcher weeps as she grants your boon. In fact, she's been weeping since you arrived at the Valley. This, to you, seems like a bad sign. A huge waffle appears in the sky. No, that's not right. The sky becomes a gigantic waffle, stretching from horizon to horizon. Only the barest trickle of the sun's light penetrates through the cooked batter to the world below, and tendrils of darkness-- maple syrup-- drip from the sky ominously. You hear a voice in your head, and you instinctively know that it is the waffle's consciousness speaking to you, a consciousness brimming with dire intent. "I am FREE!" In horror, you wrench your gaze from the frankly terrifying scene above you and turn to the Nightwatcher. She speaks quietly to herself, as though repeating something she has read countless times before: "@ginger_reckoning must not be allowed to reach the Valley, for they must not release the waffle that is imprisoned there." She then turns to gaze at you with sorrowful, silken black eyes. "You have doomed us all." ... I wish for time in our peace.

    Check back in a year and if you're still okay with that song stuck in your head, the Nightwatcher will officially be impressed. Granted! You are now a barreleye fish. Not only can you breathe underwater, you can look straight up through the top of your skull! Neat! Weird, but neat! Your bane is that you are now a barreleye fish, confined to life in the depths of the Rosharan oceans (or Earth's oceans, your pick). And life in the deep sea is mind-numbing boredom interrupted by brief episodes of extreme terror ('cause the predators down there are downright freaky). As a consolation prize, you sometimes hear David Attenborough's voice in your head, narrating your life. ...No, the Nightwatcher does not watch too many BBC Earth documentaries. Why would you say such a thing? I wish for a plate of infinite mashed potatoes that I could spoon-catapult at my enemies, and they'd be all like, "Agh, what is this? If you're not going to take me seriously, I'll be someone else's archenemesis, someone who will appreciate my enmity," and they'll storm off in a huff and I'll be like, "Yeah, that's right," and smugly take a bite of that creamy mashed potato goodness.

    Granted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Your bane is that this song is now stuck in your head FOREVER. ...Also, Lord Business now rules the world, but compared to the song-stuck-in-your-head thing that seems like a minor inconvenience. I wish for infinite Batmans.
  23. Zath
    No offense taken whatsoever.

    Granted! Your newfound Surge is powered by something in your immediate vicinity! In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything in closer proximity than this resource! Your blood. It's your blood. That's how you fuel your illusions. Macabre, I know, but this is a bane after all. Luckily you have a friend at the outpatient center of your local hospital that's great at drawing blood and asks no questions. You tend to avoid international travel, though, as it's a bit awkward explaining how you obtained all those bags of blood. Telling them that it's fine, don't worry, it's my own blood, doesn't seem to help travel security agents calm down. I wish for the ability to make the people around me sneeze whenever I sneeze.

    YKYASW you're trying to figure how to get that last bit of peanut butter from the jar (you know, the thin layer coating the inside that's totally enough for a proper PB&J), and the first idea that comes to you is to find an Edgedancer and have them Slick the interior of the jar. Imagine the efficiency. Not even the smallest amount of condiment, spread, or sauce would ever go to waste. Sigh... If only...
