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.

Looks tasty.  Especially since its the most important attribute and you guys are running out of points.

To be honest, based on Edster's opinion my character requires about equal measure of might, fortitude, and prowess to fit the history & concept. I do find the amount of used points somewhat overspent, but the outcome atm is okay for me.

First in Prowess is a bad ass. If you can get first in prowess you're solid.  

*begain trash talk
Don't forget you all need points for powers.
I wouldn't want you to have to take an enemy or bad luck.

Late edit.  Also if you find yourself overspent the auction is working correctly.

Prowess is very useful. And if the gods are looking for one new member of the pantheon and expect the four of you to fight each other Highlander style this attribute would be very useful to have at 1st rank.

Is that foreshadowing? ;)

Maybe it is, my friend, Maybe it is.....

But also there is an infinite number of worlds for a character to hide in and avoid all the fighting. One would need a travel power to make their escape. And if the Olympians are fighting it would be better to travel the Underworld or Atlantean roads to stay concealed.

I can't believe you're going to get that for less than 20.

I didn't dare to answer before the auction ended but yesI hoped I manage to get this for 20 or less. I was willing to go a bit into negative or take enemy if necessary for 1st in Provess however, as this class/stat seems to be the most important for a strategist and military commander. Thankfully I didn't have to spend so much however. I still ended up with the most points spent during auction despite not bidding for Ego. (then again, that missed bid allowed me to go for first place in Prowess)

What use are all your armies when I dominate your puny mind with my fearsome gaze?
