This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What happens if you heat up or burn WarpStone/Wyrdstone [Warhammer Question]?

Quote from: The Butcher;915044That's because warpstone, not being real matter, is free from conservation laws. So the Banach-Tarski paradox is in full effect.

If you heat up warpstone it produces goblin babies.

There. Two mysteries solved. :eek:

You fucking heretic.  You drift from the light of the God-Emperor for just thinking about this shit.

So naturally, I'll say- I remember back when I was a fan of WH Fantasy, the Skaven had some shooty flame template gun that blasted Warpstone stuff.  I think the little model had some stuff on it like pressure and temperature gauges.  I think it turns into a nasty heretical sludge.

Dont have my Skaven book handy but I believe the flamers were throwing some sort of flammable concoction mixed with powdered warpstone. Like adding powdered plutonium to napalm. Kinda overkill. But skaven do love-love them some overkill.

I don't like muting my players.  But I quite like the set up.  
If it's solidified chaos, then there is no reason it has to do anything.  I have something like that in a home brew setting.  I don't think heat would make it do anything, but hit it with magic and it becomes unstable.  Matter starts disassociating from its self.  

If it burns it burns down the block.  If it exploded it levels half the city.  It it doesn't react at all it stays cool to the touch.  
It could start absorbing all energy.  It could grow, it could open a portal, it could hatch a deamon, or dragon, or a perfect being.  
It could Speak in the mind of the players, or one player.

I would play it differently than 'radio active magic gunpowder'. But that's just me.

Sure did.  They all sounded like 'radio active magic gunpower.' To me.  Which as I said seamed a waste.
