I wonder if it would be a good idea to aim the heat ray directly below where I am falling, so that I might fall in a pool of water instead of onto ice

Better try and land on one of the shattered and partially melted blocks of ice - be softer that way.

Hey, Xan, use your amp to heat up the area below them to a ridiculous degree. That will cause an updraft and make them land safely.
There's no way that can go wrong.

That certainly doesn't sound like a recipe for an overload.
If I were to try, though, I'd use my telekinesis amp and 'accidentally' fling them into the stratosphere.

I wonder if Stacy can use the HEP to sort of make a ramp for himself to land on. Y'know, fire at the floor when he's almost at the bottom, and curve the shot upward so that the beam carves a curved surface rather than ending abruptly in a wall.

That seems like it'd work about as well as the time Ivan tried to slow his fall from an elevator by shooting the ground with his gauss rifle.

Because all these free-falling people firing their space magicks around totally can't make the situation any worse. :P

The principle is different. And at least this time there's no projectile, and Stacy has nobody else falling in front of him.

Also, Xan could morph into a parachute.

That was actually kinda what I was thinking of.
...
I want a suit like that, actually. Something that could fit me no matter what form I assumed, could stretch to a reasonable size, and provide ample protection.

It takes a minute for the HEP to recharge, and if we're going to fall for more than a minute, I don't think that's going to help exactly. Especially if I hit alien artifacts with it.

Also, I think we can all take a moment to thank every one of our lucky stars that piecewise doesn't seem willing to ever apply the melee +1 or short range +3 that the HEP inherently has.

Or failing that, it will melt the ground and make him be both dead and embedded in the molten, now rapidly freezing, ground.

Also, Beirus is using his character's Shackle while falling. This is going to be fun.

.......PW, did you miss my action o rsomething?
I figured your character might wanna do something else then test out a dangerous artifact when half the team just fell in a pit.

Magilla's not going to let a trivial thing like half the team falling into an endless pit get in the way of pressing buttons in the name of science!

If his weapon reloads fast enough, he should just keep shooting down and tunnel through the planet.

HEP is 1 shot per minute, so I doubt that. Would be fun though.

I know, it was a joke. He would either hit rock (something the laser couldn't melt as well, so he'd be splattered) or ocean (still quite the impact, and the seawater would probably wreck his damaged robobody).


EDIT: also, a big 'thank you' to the people that still take the time and effort to keep the wiki updated. The new character table is great, and the updated inventories with mission stuff is very convenient.
