One part of me is turned off by the sheer number. The other side is totally digging the idea of Krillin being the world's best ventriloquist. Sweet list.

Wouldn't metal binding be an art of geokinesis? Metal is an ore, whether refined or not, and ore is basically a part of earth.

A number of those are overpowered. Either way, I really think we are trying to avoid too many forms of Kinesis because we don't want to have a DBZ rpg completely ignoring energy and instead being more like flying wizards of varying elements. Then we'd have to incorporate some form of Pokemon style "weak against ____" system, haha.

Chrono and sono kinesises are awesome. Some consideration should seriously be put into both of those.

if we use Chrono, a few people will have to lose their Best Moves, as they deal with time.
Now Sono, I kind of like...

I completely agree with this post

I always pictured that one as the gravity bracer thing, or allowing for faster flight/cushioning themselves from hitting the ground after getting struck, etc.
Can't you just do that by putting tp's to you speed and having your character contorol his flight so well that he cuchoins his falls/catches himself?

Yeah. I see the element things making it basically a bunch of people running around shooting fire blasts or trying to freeze each other.

We have enough, if we ever feel the need to expand then maybe we'll add more.

I know they are.
I'm not saying I disagree with them, I'm just saying that I would hate the entire rp to turn elemental. I haven't been here a long time, but Daragonball is about physical fighting and using your Ki (Energy), in ways to win. Not elements.
Not saying elements don't add some fun in the Rp, but it shouldn't be based on people trying to get these elements to win.
(Just my two cents.)

I'm with Rei and Akane. The -kineses as is a nice addition to teh site, but I don't think it should be seen as a pivotal part of the site, merelyjust another creative turn we've taken, but it's just a pit stop.

* Aerokinesis - Air manipulation- Flight anyone? Captain silver has a wind move as well
* Atmokinesis - Weather manipulation- Ehh... erm alot of moves can be based off of that without having it...
* Biokinesis - Healing, biological manipulation- Regeneration, healing 4 arm attack anyone?
* Chlorokinesis - Plant manipulation- Namekians anyone?
* Chronokinesis - Time manipulation- Time freeze?
* Electrokinesis - Electricity manipulation (The scientific name for Raikinesis, just FYI)-got that one
* Gravitakinesis - Gravity manipulation Erm Slight? Weighted clothing? DOnt we have an item that haults flight
* Terrakinesis - Earth manipulation- Erm well >_><_< i dunno
*Hydrokinesis - Water manipulation-Erm Aquas water attack sounds good?
* Magnetokinesis - Magnetism manipulation eh seems like something Raikenesis would deal with
* Photokinesis - Light manipulation- Yea.... Solar Blast and Shadow blanket anyone?
* Sonokinesis - Sound manipulation- Yea that would mess me up when I decide its time to give Retane the move "Silencer"
* Umbrakinesis - Darkness manipulation>_><_< Shadow blanket anyone?
See? If you want some kind of thing like that why not just make a move near it instead of having to make it a technique. plus wel;l alot of people wouldnt be to happy to have to loose their moves and shit because of it.

Whats weak about my sauce?
PLain and simple you'd be limiting the creativity so much when it comes to making moves that it wouldn't be funny.
And the namekian race is a kinda a representation of a walking plant.

No, people would have to actually buckle down and making creative moves instead of saying, "Rutabaga shoots a fire blast out of his hands. I'll call it...Fire Blast."

They're closer to lizards then plants, but that still doesn't let them have plant powers.
Lizards? How the hell? They're more like plants =\
And I still think it limits creativity because you're taking elements and such and making them techniques and lowering the the possibilities of creating moves and such.
As far as not seeing anyone do a move involving sonar and and plant attacks, when he was DM, LS had a move involving some kinda sonar move taking someone off balance when the inner ear got it, not to mention I've been thinking of a move called Silencer which involves taking sound away all together.
When it comes to plants, I think I've thought of a few future moves involing such kind of attacks involving plants and such. The first was called Tree of Woe, I think I had explained it to Nappa before and he said something and he gave me the idea of making other moves and such involing plants because he said it reminded of Kurama or wth ever his name was in that yuyu hakasho thing.
I've also discussed a move involving time thats a bit... to strong at the moment and could be godmodded to hell . That thread is in my alliance board. I had a thread there once I coulda swore with quite a few plans and shit for Retane whoich had moives as well but I quite possibly coulda typed it up and threw it away on accident.
I already have an attack that can manipulate darkness, as I said, and I have an attack that can blind people. Solar Blast(not Solar Flash) is an attack thats a simple form of light manipulation.
An old Bun or Pigero had an attack that was stronger when he was near trees and all but weak when he was in a desolate area, I beleive.
I'm sure a few others have created moves involving plants and such as well just no ones paid any attention to them.
I dunno, maybe I don't like it because it effects alot of my plans for my character.

Eh, I wouldn't call ki 'light'. It's more of your inner energy, which doesn't necessarily make it light, but I'm no expert on it, so I could be wrong.

Retane, there are a million different possible Best Moves you could make. All you would need to do if you wanted those moves would be to earn the respective kinesis, and you're good to go. Chubbsians tend to be pretty damn creative. I'm sure they could manage if we ever decide to add any of these. I personally have no Best Moves regarding any elements, nor do I ever plan to.

Quote:Originally posted by KrillinAye, but to be honest, ki is so incredibly versatile there's not much you couldn't do with it that the elements could do. I mean, there is stuff you can do, but for the most part I agree with Pan. Ki is just so damn malleable; you can use it to make invisible walls, swords, energy beams ... wuteverlol.

For DBA I wanted to incorporate more elements, and so I did a square system where there are only 4 actual techniques (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) and by combining them you can get the cool stuff like controlling ice, plant matter, lightning etc. But Chubbs is focusing on actually creating the element and using it more as a flavour thing (Metal Binding excluded, since you can use that to build stuff), and for those purposes I think they're cool with the DMC-esque Fire/Ice/Lightning trio.
