No it wouldn't. Humans can't develop in egg. They need to spend several months in womb, consuming nutrients and oxygen from mother. It could be genetically 100% human but it would still be seyunolu. Also, it's quite likely that if you take DNA from say african person and european person, the child would be able to shapeshift between those two forms. Using, obviously, uryuom power. This is closely related to the "how it's possible that there are still people without magical talent left" AKA "failure to understand exponential" problem. However, it is possible that just the stronger affinity can surface. Back to chimeras: I don't think the affinity will completely disappear (although we can't rule it out either) but it is possible even person with magic talent needs to get over the uryuom power to connect with it. Obviously, shouldn't be that hard if the uryuom power is just from egg and not supported by DNA at all.

Technically, definitely, as Uryuom eggs works by mag- .... Uryuom power. Usable level, hard to say. Alternatively, if you meant to ask if human genes containing magic talent will activate in chimera, that might be even more complicated question ... Look at their ages. I don't think it's actually unusual for them to come out in back, kids of this age are even worse with statistics than adults.

I probably should have been more clear. I figured he could get through the barrier, but unless he has a magical source of fire resistance, he would be incinerated, or at least very badly burned. Assuming he didn't try some kind of ranged attack, which I would hope Adrian taught him some sort of ranged technique. Those come in handy when you can't get close to your target. I would assume he would try some ranged attack and seriously hurt Dex. Ranged incapacitating attacks are hard. The boar incident proves otherwise as I already mentioned. I doubt this. First, I think it belongs to William. Tedd even asked if he wants it back. Second, Edward can always confiscate it as dangerous device. That said, Edward would likely ask Tedd. He would also likely ask in way which would make Tedd agree. I would think in most cases, Edward would object more than Tedd. Meanwhile, if Edward would tell him HE knows the person, why would Tedd object? There are likely formal ways to contact the Paranormal Division which includes code words which gets you over people who would just reply "hahaha, is this a prank call?" to people with appropriate clearance. The head of the Paranormal Division doesn't need to handle ALL format requests and inquiries, but might decide to handle Adrian Raven's, like for example because he has noone who can deliver the laugh as he can. That sounds like the answer would be "why do you ask? Is this attempt to catch me on some inconsistency?" ... however, maybe it will work. Better chance to ask about Noah specifically I guess. We can also ask directly on twitter and/or tumblr (ok, I can ask over tumblr, not sure what accounts you have). Sometimes Dan does answer that way, although usually to matters related to current comics. I've got one answer ... out of four I think.

I think the fact that we haven't seen any greater chimera shapeshift into an Uryuom form without the help of a CMD says something though, at least we should keep this in mind for the next round of Q&A's and ask about it. No it doesn't say anything considering we only saw ONE greater chimera transforming - Grace. Vlad was greater chimera but we never saw him transform on his own, only Ellen transforming him, and Noah (IF he's greater chimera) we didn't saw transforming at all. Oh, and neither did we saw Archie transforming. Also, I'm not sure what you want to ask. The "Can Noah transform to Uryuom form" question is going to be labeled spoiler just like "Is Noah greater chimera", which it's obviously something which is supposed to be revealed later. Not that it wouldn't be good question, I'm just afraid we would need to wait for the reveal and then ask for details.

I imagine he would be incinerated. They have some natural abilities plus they are able to shift to any form ever given to them by CMD. Meanwhile, Grace can mix&match forms, but only due to her lespuko genes. Good point: while we don't know if chimeras have less Uryuom power before having their shapeshifting corrected, we also don't know if they don't. He could get him TF Gun as well, if it only occurred to him Edward has one. Well, he would also need to ask Edward for it, which might be hit to his pride, but I think Edward would lend it to him. (And there is additional issue of Adrian possibly deliberately keeping Noah secret from DGB.) Well they WERE able to speak when it mattered. However it's likely true Edward was Adrian's only connection in DGB - otherwise he would contact his other contact and not Edward. The shadow guy transformation seem to be more disguise than shapeshifting. And he might have two forms as Grace's siblings - he does have two different DNAs, Human and Uryuom, and while Grace doesn't seem to have specifically Uryuom form, Noah might.

Sarah? I know Lisa wondered that. Sarah also wondered it. ... ok. Adding to the new section on wiki I just spend an hour doing wondering how something so important can still be missing.

Those were just the basics, and Dan did go further on them with the commentary, also he said he'll elaborate more in commentary as the game progresses. So I'm sure we'll get at least 90% of it figured out by the end of it. Depending on how you count it, probably not ; there are 40 cards in the deck, not all will likely come in play and each seem to have some special side effect on it.

Yes, that may be the issue as well - Grace trained her Uryuom power, Noah possibly started training Earth magic before Uryuom power. (Still, it's possible his flight is Uryuom power.) However, his main "advantage" are likely lespuko genes. Grace has them and they make her stronger in Uryuom power. From hindsight, not considering sexual aspect of relationships can be taken as sign of being asexual (not confirmation, just sign) but it's connection unlikely to be made right away Sarah? I know Lisa wondered that. That's what I meant, Noah wasn't powerful enough to counter that. I don't think he would have been able to penetrate the flame barrier to knock out Dex like Grace was able to. Right; he used physical attack on summoned monster ; it's possible magical attack would be more effective and there likely is counterspell for that. Although note that Grace didn't so much penetrate the flame barrier as just was fireproof.

I didn't cite Elliot as a non-flyer or weak flyer. No, but you seemed to imply there are no flyers in cast. Except Grace can't do anything else while flying at speed, or at least she couldn't when she was last seen sparring with Ellen under Greg's tutelege. The fact she showed up at the same time as Cheerleadra on New Year's Eve proves she can fly at least as fast, though. Grace can't use telekinesis or shield when flying. Noah did neither. She can fight just fine if she doesn't let herself to be limited by her morals. Where's the proof for that? She can float and move slowly. She did not fly when she was fighting Vlad, who was flying. It wasn't really shown, but she was convinced she has advantage until Vlad shown that his flight is also magic. Note that those kicks and punches she landed on Vlad were are WHILE FLYING and presumably not so slowly. Or Ariel Val'Sarghress, yes ... (she can also shape her hair into wings). Or cubis from DMFA (wings into tentacles). But that's offtopic. Grace didn't really shown so much manipulation either. Ditto. Besides, that's a non-canon NP strip. Technically not confirmed as canon, but commentary suggest Susan wants hair spell like that even in canon. Sigh. Dan also said that Lord Tedd was shown way too soon. But, yes: as far as confirmed canon goes, we don't know if shadow guy was Noah and we don't know if Noah is part uryuom. He can be human and Damien might target his parents just randomly. Also, Susan, Diane and Raven may not be related. Satisfied? Some stuff can be assumed even if not said directly. From the examples I made, shadow guy being Noah is closest to being confirmed. If you don't accept that, only thing we can say is "we don't know". It's much more fun to speculate, but we need to accept that while no speculation is confirmed by canon (by definition - if it's confirmed, it's no longer speculation) some are more likely and some are less likely. I can accept your argument that Noah didn't do anything matching the "prehensile" definition. He moved then more than you can move hair, but ok, may not be prehensile level. I can accept that Luke didn't took the definition literally either. But don't argue that Luke saw General Shade Tail, his friend though he's girl and there was no other signs that he visited main universe. That's too wild. (Also, General Shade Tail looks pretty clearly dude to me.) He may have some cuts in that hood. Normal clothes don't go together with wings ...

Because unlike Elliot, he wasn't using his body to shield third party from fireball. In general, Elliot's failures in fighting in Cheerleadra form doesn't have anything to do with lack of power and everything with lack of training. Elliot can fly long time without problems, Grace didn't shown any problems flying, Nanase can fly without problems if she doesn't do guardian form and that's not counting fairies. No, I don't think flying is hard in EGS and just because we didn't saw Raven doing it doesn't mean he can't. Remember than generally, flying makes you noticeable ; Edward and other agents might decide not using flying simply because they don't want anyone seeing them. There is considerable lack of ways how to compare people's power in EGS, so we can't say he ISN'T powerful, but he didn't SHOWN anything out of ordinary. No signs? I think Susan would like "just hair" like this. Also, Luke seemed convinced they are prehensile.

Grace is mixed human-uryuom-squirrel-(other), and the whole point of Drasvin's reference is that it would be fantastically hard for her to use human magic. The point of that reference is that for uryuom hybrids, using human magic is hard but not impossible. If it would be impossible, Dan would simply say "it's not possible". Making it possible and explaining it in such detail is obvious Chekhov's gun (tvtropes) and Dan does seem to enjoy firing his Chekhov's guns. Noah didn't shown any signs of being extremely powerful. If you want extremely powerful, look at Nanase or Rhoda. Noah obviously trained his abilities, but may have smaller power than Elliot. While it would make sense for him to have "less uryuom" genes than Grace, it is not necessary - he just may be THAT determined. Also, we KNOW that Grace has lespuko genes which makes her shapeshifting stronger ; Noah not having such genes could be all difference needed. And note that the main sign pointing to Noah being part Uryuom are his antennae ... and ONLY greater chimeras - the ones with Uryuom genes - have antennae. I think there are totally non-sexual reasons why to not participate in basketball. I know that I wouldn't spend much time playing it even with sexy girls, although it's true that I would at least try if not completely dressed girl would ask me to.

Grace's attraction is more based on the other person's mind rather than their body, so I would say that her sexuality isn't defined by human standards, but more from her other heritage. Even "sapiosexual" (a term that I don't entirely approve of) would go in an entirely different direction. Grace's attraction is a mix between heterosexual and Uryuom, as Tedd said. And the heterosexual part is what we speak about. Regarding the Uryuom part, that's why I said closer but still not it. Oh, right, that's another very likely possibility. Individuals of uryuom decent can use human magic as long as they also have some human heritage. I doubt Noah would have much Uryuom power, and he definitely had the incentive to become stronger (and someone to teach him how to get stronger) It was pretty obvious to me that this page was not about Grace but about Noah. Grace has much more Uryuom power because of Lespuko side, so she both can get more from her Uryuom side AND would be harder to learn Earth magic. Noah, meanwhile, is clearly chimera but also clearly uses human magic and this page explains how that's possible.

In the context of three people who can (and two of them frequently do) change their own sex and two people who can change other people's sex, and several people who occasionally consent to have their sex changed, "straight" is a rather vague concept. Meanwhile, "truly straight" might easily mean "cisgender heterosexual". Not speaking about the fact that almost all numbers between zero and one are neither. THAT can be done quite easily with some explosives. I don't think you can fit person to some gender/sex category using explosives, unless you count "dead" as such category. ... true ... Luckily, Ashley doesn't care. Elliot and Ashley survived. Rhoda and Catalina survived. I think they have quite good chance.

Of course. In long tradition of hypocrisy, what you accept for yourself have nothing to do with what you accept for others. If she wouldn't be ready to accept homosexuality, she could easily claim her crush on Nanase is something different. Maybe even platonic.

Seems like Tedd is straight, but is trying to learn to like Grace in male form. Which, put that bluntly, seems way too close to a gay person trying to change their orientation.... Tedd is genderfluid and can actually transform to other gender, and not even just enchantment, real deal. Calling him straight is either meaningless or would imply he likes boys and only boys when girl, which doesn't seem to be the case. Grace is actually closer to being straight than Tedd. (Also, we declared Elliot not "truly straight" based on his feelings when transformed too, didn't we?)

Considering how badly Rhoda and Catalina were hiding it, it would be surprising if detective Diane didn't noticed. Also ... would she REALLY be ok with Rhoda before knowing about Nanase and getting over Rick? We can't say for certain now ... but she DID called Justin defective. And possibly still has, despite the claim to be 100% over it. Susan should retaliate with proving that Diane is nerd. It took you this long? Actually, Charlotte might be. But main eight were obviously lacking straight person since Sarah started thinking about it. This is only confirmation of what was suspected for long time. (Note: I hope that Susan did the test properly and imagined ELLIOT.)

Diane's a closet nerd though. Which is extremely good reason to do cheerleading It's not like cheerleading would MAKE you stupid. (Unlike the football itself.)

Maybe YOU don't need them (Ok, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice#Rarer_variations also has longer list ...)

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=684 Hmmm ... ok, I'm afraid there's little to say without the stuff covered in the next comic ... Maybe with the exception that "the game from being one too easily" should probably be "the game from being won too easily"

For start, she might TELL she's her biological mother. Maybe not to Susan but to her parents. (Which actually ties into your "worse variation"). She may try to do some babysitting or maybe help in preschool. Or, well, she can try the stalking. If she's not too creepy she can get away with it (would be harder for men). His personal investment might be unrelated to the cheating dad specifically and be just about cheating in general. We don't know how the divorce with Noriko went ... Or, he might've said it because details about the divorce included something about how much he cheated - maybe it wasn't just once or twice ... He's not so old to know her since then, and appear to actually only find out about that when doing background check on Susan. You think she's from Queenstown? Also, technically we don't know she's wizard. We know she has magical talent. While personally I suppose she's awakened wizard, neither was confirmed in comics yet.

... apparently, this is ignored so I'll reply as well. I don't care if someone made it, there are only five true dices - d4,d6,d8,d12 and d20 - and it was mathematically proven thousands years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

I think the physical contact issues and such stemmed from catching her dad with another woman so it's likely it wouldn't matter who she caught him with, though if the woman was a dark haired or redhead, she might not have dyed her hair. Yes. While being cynical is part of why she don't try cheerleading, bigger part likely is that cheerleaders are assumed to be airheads. Susan is proud nerd and that's unlikely to be connected to catching her father. (To clarify, the reason why she's not cheerleader, in the order of importance, is catching her father with cheerleader type, being proud nerd and being cynical ; also note that she was probably considerably less cynical before the vampire attack). While there is some logic in sleeping with father of your child to see it, even if he's adoptive father, I don't think it would be the first path any women would take. Maybe not "really understand", but her face when she saw the woman suggest she already got some idea about other women not supposed to be in their home in night with her dad. Either it was already mentioned - not necessary in context of full infidelity, maybe the father was just talking too much with some waitress and her mom voiced disapproval - or she read/saw something more on topic than sleeping beauty even at that age. Obviously, her father insisting she must not tell mother really driven the point home, but she dropped her book before that. There can't really be any good explanation for this. Of course, if the relationship actually broke before that, it's less bad, but still bad. And if her mother would be cheating first, I think it would come up in divorce.

It was said you are buying spaces with transformation. I suppose it means that you need to play the card(s) to transform yourself (or someone else if you roll doubles) to buy the space.

She probably wasn't doing it on professional level, but yes her cheerleading experience might be closest to being fight ready she has. I tried. I would point out other cheerleaders that that reminded me but seems they disappeared from web to dead-tree and paid areas. But noone NOTICED it was there. Dan showed us long ago that Susan wanted to avoid being seen as a cheerleader type because of the fact that it was a young blonde cheerleader type that she caught her dad having an affair with. I think we'll be getting to that soon though, but hopefully Diane learned from the last time she judged someone for not dating and won't make that mistake again. While that might be part of it, I don't think Susan would be cheerleader even if she would caught her father with some sexy librarian type.

I think hkmaly meant 'opening hours' rather than time itself. You are closer but I actually meant hours of his shift. Him being there "on time" actually means he will be there in time where his shift starts and ends (and presumably during it). In similar sense, "before time" and "after time" would be before his shift starts and after his shift ends. But yes it sounds funnier if you read it as "before time itself" and "after time itself" ...
