Dei's Stupid Question Thread

[Beaver Dude]

So. Umm. I have a confession to make. I ask a lot of stupid questions. In order to save time and make the suggestion/question forum look a neater, cleaner place I'm just going to start a thread and every time I have a new question I'll post a new post. Maybe I'll update this one with all the questions I have and their answers.

(I hope there isn't a rule against this)

Annnyways.

STUPID QUESTION 1:

In Bigg's Equip Shop there is an equip known as Fire I.

The description reads as follows:

Allows the user to shoot a head-sized fireball at high speed with slight homing ability. Very difficult to dodge at medium range. Explodes on contact and deals weak fire-elemental magic damage. 10 uses per battle.

Can you aim this ball of fire at yourself? And will it hit you? I know it says 'slight' homing ability but the mitigating factors are that A) you're casting the spell and B) you're going to stand still so that it can curve around to home in on you.

Don't tell me this is not a stupid question. Because I will not believe you. =D

[Rocket!]

Um, yes?

Generally, it's a rule that your own abilities (and equips) can't hurt you unless someone's reflected them at you.

So it could hit you, but you'd hafta mention in the posts that it hit you hit you if it's pain you're going for.

And I think you could just fire it at your chest, or foot, if it's coming from any old place, right?

[Beaver Dude]

I might have intended this 'hitting self' as a bit of slapstick. So, more like firing forward and then watching it chase him. XD

[Rocket!]

...that works too.

[Heroic Bilby]

If you're not hurting someone else, go nuts. XD

[Beaver Dude]

You guys are FANTABULOUS. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. =D

[Beaver Dude]

I realize I'm double posting but it's this or make a brand new thread.

Alrighty, STUPID QUESTION 2

In Bigg's Equip Shop (link above) there's an equip known as Sonic Thrust. Description is as follows:

Sonic Thrust - 200 Munny
The user can perform a thrust with their weapon or body at Strong-level speed across a distance of ten feet. A slipstream surrounds the user that dulls any attack made on them from the front or sides during use but also dulls their attack if it involves a bladed or piercing weapon to only cause blunt damage. Sonic Thrust only moves straight ahead. 4 uses per battle with no other limitations. Sonic Blade's damage is equivalent to a Weak ability.

The wording is a little ambiguous. By 'thrust their weapon or body at a Strong-level speed across a distance of ten feet' does the shop mean that the person is actually moving ten feet at strong level speed to attack (with a weak attack) ? Or that it's merely a fancy name for a 200 munny distance attack that's weak?

Clarification appreciated! One of these days I'll find a question not involved with the equip shop, I swear.

Edit: Also, someone should probably edit sonic blade back to sonic thrust in the last sentence.

[Heroic Bilby]

Their body moves across a distance of ten feet with the thrust.

[Beaver Dude]

This is kind of a sequel to that question ovah there.

Can Sonic Thrust be employed going *backwards*?

[Homac]

I dunno, can you thrust backwards? Hm?

[Beaver Dude]

It doesn't send me flying back ten feet, but I can thrust my butt backwards, yeah.

(And, now that I've tried, I can also thrust a pair of scissors in the general vicinity of my back. It's like elbowing someone in the gut but with a different follow-up.)

[Homac]

massive hip drop of doom?

[donald2]

I would say no, due to it specifically says running. Now, I don't know about you mate, but I can't run backwards. Jog, maybe, but that's about it.

[Beaver Dude]

I was about to say it doesn't mention running.

However, upon further examination, it does very clearly state 'moves straight ahead'. My fail. XD

[Kashew]

That is, but that would be funny if you could thrust backward.
