"Fly out of the way? Hide in your hat? Redirect it with a rift? Magic shield? Wear splash healing potions in your clothes and if anything hits you hard enough to break glass in case of emergency, all better? Turn into invulnerable crystal? All depends what you want to buy."

"Interesting. Probably best to stay focused on complications for now, though."

"Yes yes. How are we feeling about the magic slowdown for ten?"

Permalink

"Pass."

"You are presumably against the ugliness one, also, I get that sense."

Permalink

"Extremely."

"Deaden or else uncomfortably boost any of your classic five senses?"

"How would enhanced sight or taste be uncomfortable? There's light sensitivity, but that doesn't really make your eyesight 'better' by a common-sense definition of the word."

Permalink

"Light sensitivity is involved, but you can see in dim light much better! Easily overwhelmed by high contrast colors, repetitive visual patterns, things twitching in the corner of your eye. Enhanced taste is quite livable, I believe, but it will tend to turn you off spicy and sour and salty things. If you mostly like eating macaroni or chicken without any pepper on it anyway maybe it is for you."

"Ok, yeah, pass."

"Attached to all of your limbs?"

"How is that a... Oh, wait, that was a question, not a description. Yes, yes I am."

Permalink

"Need a thing to live, as much as air water or food depending how many points you want out of it?"

Permalink

"What are my options for the thing?"

Permalink

"Oh, very broad, cannot quite pull off 'need air, but twice, also as much as you need water now for some reason', but people need to see plants or be wearing tight clothes or sit down or something like that and it goes through."

Permalink

"Hmmm.... What's the point difference for water vs food?"

Permalink

"Four for food, eight for water. Twelve for air."

"Seems like the optimal strategy is to just have some action I can take using only my own body at water-tier, since if I can't do it I can't drink water anyway. Or, well, I guess I could be unconscious and receiving fluids intravenously or magically, but anyone who's capable of doing that would presumably be capable of grabbing my hand and touching my finger to my nose or whatever."

Permalink

"Sure, you want to do the finger to nose one?"

Permalink

"Actually, just in case I'm shapeshifted into something that doesn't have one of those, I should make it even easier. Can I do saying a word? Or wait, what about just opening my mouth? Does that work?"

Permalink

"Opening your mouth works at air frequency but not at water. This is about rarity more than difficulty, you already open your mouth more often than you drink water."

Permalink

"Okay then, let's just make it a word. How about uuuuhhhhhh, 'kiwi'. That's a nice neutral world, short, not offensive in any way, not a fruit I like and thus would have ruined for me by having to say its name all the time but not one I'm disgusted by either."

Permalink

"Sure. This will do you some harm if you are hexed into a toad, but that is already mighty inconvenient."

Permalink

"Yeah, like, if they wanted to kill me at that point they could just step on me."

Permalink

"That is true. There are also, say, silence spells, but probably this will not kill you of kiwithirst before it kills you of anything else."
