QUOTE (Khyron @ Aug 3 2009, 03:47 AM)  A broom? What is this, the 20th century? It's the future! We need future variants, like the Ares Carpet Blaster Vacuum with dirt recognition laser designators or the Shiawase Dirt Ninja stealth Vacuum with sound suppression systems and ruthenium casing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They already made a movie where witches ride vacuum cleaners instead of broomsticks. QUOTE (CanRay @ Aug 5 2009, 05:13 PM) I can see a bunch of low-powered mages immigrating to the UCAS from the Middle East, and running a Magic Carpet Taxi Company now. Cheaper than "'Copter Cab"! Even worse.... Welcome to the Johnny Carpet! |

More Persian than Arabic, though yes - I know it's sometimes called the "Arabic Nights" instead of "1001".

So we got Brooms, Carpets, Vaccum Cleaners... What's next? Air Spirit-Inhabited Motorcycles flying the Jolly Roger doing Drive-Bys on Cargo Zepplins?

I am now compeled to make a mage that flies around on a rhumba (I think they are called). He will be a part time crimefighter. All so I can have him "clean up" the city.

QUOTE (Ryusukanku @ Aug 2 2009, 09:21 PM) I'm thinking that it's the style of the thing that counts. Hate to use it as a reference but for those who have seen the Brooms in the Potter movies, those actually looked like they had been built for speed and maneuverability and with some aesthetics involved. That's just a Sustaining Focus that's also a Specific Spell Focus (forgive me if my terminology is off; I haven't played in over a year and honestly have no idea where my books are at the moment) to bolster its effects. Or any other numerous similar methods of accomplishing the same thing such as using the broom/vacuum/whatever as a fetish (which, honestly, would be the most likely way such a thing would be handled in-game). I had a Street Shaman (Rat) once who used a trash can lid as his vehicle using this particular method. Was great fun. In the end, though, it's really no different than just casting Levitate on yourself. Purely a flavor thing. |

So, do the casters hold "car shows" to show off their classic and modified flying toys? Where can you buy mod kits to rice out your flying broom/carpet/vacuum/garbage can lid/bed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Where can you buy mod kits to rice out your flying broom/carpet/vacuum/garbage can lid/bed? biggrin.gif BWAHAHAHAHA! I could actually SEE that happening. "And here we have the latest in Broom Technology... a reagent Bicycle Seat with hand crafted Iron body, rich corinthian Sand Serpent leather covering, with Dire Sheep's wool between the two for padding. Ideal for those Long-distance flights. This baby is built for comfort." Here in my home town there is a strip of street downtown that people with classic cars and trucks or 'pimped out' ones, tend to gather on each week in the summer. No doubt they enjoy showing off their hard work or modifications to other enthusiasts. Perhaps that could be one of those Magical Organizations that the book "Street Magic" has rules for. The "Honorable Order of Magi-transport Operators" or something. Not sure what the rules around it would be, but I could see the Metamagic feats would be improved spells for getting their conveyances to fly. Over Four thousand members globally. The members usually like the feel of wind in their hair and bugs in their teeth. |

"Lonestar Dispatch, this is Lonestar car one seven niner niner. Requesting backup. Repeat, requesting backup. Will need all available magic support and flight capable drones."
"We hear you One Seven Niner Niner. What is your situation?" "I am in pursuit of thirty Joyriders on the Nine Eighty. Major traffic disruptions." "Please describe the nature of the Joy Riders, One Seven Niner Niner." "You know you can damn well see them on the trids, Dispatch." "One seven Niner Niner, you know we have rules in place. Please. In your own words describe the nature of the joy riders." "Dispatch. I am in pursuit of what appears to be... Ghawd... I can't believe I'm saying this... a BROOM gang." " *Giggle* All right One Seven Niner Niner. We are dispatching all available units to your Positioning Signal... see if you can get Harry Potter's autograph for my kid." "Jerk." |

Angelone, please report to the nearest Exterminatus facility so that you can be cleansed from this world by fire. =============================== That was a really BAD pun!
