  1. Story Friday December 2, 2016

    I think Jerry will be reluctant (read scared bleep-less) to become visible and reveal that he doesn't have special insight. He'll probably try to rationalize not having to come forward, but his vow will compel him possibly after someone vocalizes a wish that they could ask him about it, but not necessarily. Susan can be terrifying, even if she might not have the power to actually hurt him (which isn't something we can say for sure, since he is about at his weakest). DNA sequencing is an expensive process, but testing paternity can be done with equipment you can find in a high school bio lab. A true paternity test would need a sample of daddy's DNA, but you would at least be able to tell if Diane and Susan are closely related with a similar test, even without the paternal sample. Identical DNA would be easy to determine. A paternity test that would hold up in court would cost a few hundred dollars, but retail tests can $30. Magical methods, or the scanner they use for the TF gun might work as well. I don't think DNA tests will be necessary, but they aren't out of the realm of possibility. The whole Diane/Susan thing sounds in part to have been influenced by magic or potentially a magical entity. 10 minutes before and after the start of a new year seems like the sort of "flair for the dramatic" that magic loves. With that sort of weirdness, Their dads could have been identical twins, de-switchery diamond clones, or something equally preposterous.

    Even if you couldn't reproduce normal limbs, a double arm amputee (or even a single arm amputee) would benefit greatly from a permanent prehensile tail, even if they need to renew the transformation regularly. Elliot got hit by a F5 beam that was supposed to last a month, so transformations could last a long time. Heck, most people could use an extra limb once in awhile, but I'm focusing on helping the injured more than performance enhancement. There are examples of performance enhancing morphs through the TF gun (mostly animal forms, but the ripped male forms during the M5 NP arc suggests that there are other ways to do this, assuming that wasn't merely a cosmetic change) which should also help people with genetic disorders that reduce muscle mass and the like, hopefully without too serious cosmetic changes.

    Pandora really doesn't need someone to be evil to raise magical awareness. She could just give Ashley a good pain relief spell and then point her at people with chronic pain and loose-lips. Goody-two-shoes Ashley would find it very difficult to let innocent people suffer when she has the means to help them (especially if Pandora stresses how bad some of them have it). Miracle girl will probably get quite a bit of press and possibly a religious following (or cult or witch-hunter). Whatever plays out it has a relatively high chance of raising magical awareness, more so than aura sense at least.

    What about genetic disorders? That wouldn't be "injury" per se, but rather a normal aspect of your form. They've already shown improved physical attributes from transformations. Say have a form that is otherwise identical to the subject but doesn't have hemophilia? What about conditions like muscular dystrophy which is characterized by a degradation of skeletal muscles? A strength-augmenting transformation, applied regularly, could conceivably improve someone's quality of life. It wouldn't be permanent per se, but getting zapped daily seems like a rather small price to pay, even if sufficiently powerful TF equipment outside the magic leak was refrigerator size or larger. Not lasting after transformations wear off, while annoying, doesn't stop this sort of procedure from being a godsend to people with serious, chronic (or potentially terminal) conditions. Even if transformations can't CURE cancer, maybe they can move the tumor somewhere more convenient for surgery, or make a form where an important organ is redundant, allowing safer surgery or longer lifespan (how about a form with an extra heart?).

    Another option is using weapons non-lethally as MaTN did in his no-kill run. Sarah has a book that can explain the reasoning further: http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook.php?id=879

    But you lose karma if you steal medical supplies from sick people if they're marked in read! ;_;

    Even in no-kill runs, you often have some weapons, if for no other reason as loot to sell for caps when you find a vendor since they can be valuable (you will need some stimpack/drug/armor money especially if Grace is the type who is reluctant to steal everything not nailed down). You can also use guns to occasionally disarm or hobble an enemy, especially important if your attempts to save people makes a faction dislike you (such as the legion) enough to send regular assassins, unless no harming anyone is in Grace's rules. I still understand having bots count in a no-kill run, just saying that no guns is not common. Still, I could see selling off most things to the NCR before entering the robot tower of death as well as Grace deciding not to carry guns to blow off kneecaps, fearing permanent injury to her target.
