I always assumed that Minmax planned out his stats beforehand, but once he'd actually taken them, he longer had the Int score to be capable of minmaxing. Therefore, he's attracted by shiny things and dislikes girly things regardless of stats.

Ok, the armor changes color, but that in itself isn't all that useful. Unless you could say something like "camouflage" and then blend in with your surroundings. Though of course, it could still be kick-ass armor.

The sword seems more useful as a defensive weapon rather than an attacking one. If it changes material to anything it touches, that means whenever Minmax parries an attack, it'll shift into the enemy's weapon's material. Thus, even if the enemy is using a sword made from adamantium, Minmax's sword will never break. But then whenever Minmax hits his opponent's armor or shield, the sword will turn into the same material, and be unable to cut through it.

Also, what do you think will happen if the sword touches fire, or water?

It's just the blade that changes. I think the problem here is if he hits someone on the flesh, would the blade cut them or instantly become fleshy?

I don't think it changes into just anything it touches. It was just in a wooden treasure chest, right? But when it came out, it was rusted, not wood. Whatever it was before must have just naturally rusted. Maybe the tip, specifically has to hit some kind of hard surface?

So... what happens when you're cut by an oblivion sword? Do you cease to exist, as if you've fallen into one of those oblivion holes?

Because that'd be a wacky way to take out Kore.

I'd say at the very least that it makes wounds that can't be healed by normal means. After all, you weren't cut by anything so technically you shouldn't be injured.

Alternately, if they take over the power of the holes, maybe the enemy won't realize they are cut much like how if something disappears in the hole you forget it exists. Which could have...disastrous consequences.

A sword that wipes you from existance.

That is the most amazing concept ever.

Untrue... because how could it give you experience for defeating foes? If the sword wipes it's foe from existence, how do you remember fighting it? If you can't remember fighting it, how did you learn anything from the experience?

What does it matter? At level 1 you could wipe out anything and collect the treasure chest it was guarding in the first place? Hell why need treasure? You already have the most insane weapon ever created.

It'd be confusing though.

Minmax and company hack their way through an army of orcs, wiping them from existence. Minmax and company then pause, look around at the empty battlefield, and wonder why they're sweaty and tired.

Or rather, they wouldn't be sweaty and tired, because they didn't fight any orcs, because the orcs never existed.

EDIT: Also, at what point did Minimax and Forgath find out the holes were oblivion? I don't think Kin ever told them...

Maybe it's just me, but I'd be terrified to be in any roleplaying group where Thunt's GMing. His dungeons seem to be such huge mind-fucks.

Extrapolating from what Kin said, it seems plausible to assume that somehow, the non-existence hole recognizes that the non-existence sword exists, for a lack of a better term. Or vice versa, which is perhaps more logical. To safeguard a possible disaster from a non-existence sword falling to the ground and creating god knows what (maybe just falling through the earth itself without stopping) the non-existence hole exerted a force on it, or the non-existence sword exerted a force on a the non-existence hole, so that rather than falling and creating a disaster, it became non-existent.

That does not explain why it was Minmax's hand coming from the hole (possibly the sword recognizes ownership and simulated Minmax's hand as a proxy to facilitate its return to the hole) or why the people still seem to remember the sword, even though it has fallen into non-existence.

I'd say there's some time-and-space travel tomfoolery afoot. Minimax is going to be getting his sword back through some sort of wormhole-like portal later -- I'm curious to see how it all works.

I'm guessing that every time Minimax lets go of the sword, he'll grab it from a future point at which he wants his sword back. It's like an interdimensional storage bin, only the sword's not actually stored anywhere -- it just travels forward in time to the point where Minimax grabs it again.

The question is, does this mean you can tie something to the sword and send that forward in time with it? Can you write something on your hand and send a message backwards in time?

And if you DO write a message on your hand, will you have to write the same message on your hand before you're able to get the sword back?

Well, that kind of limits it's usefulness for barring a door, but as long as Minmax is willing to stand there holding it.. you'd have to destroy the door to get around the sword.

Yeah, but he'll never need to actually leave it behind to squeeze through a small space or something (one of the meaner things that GMs have done to me in the past).

What if he starts a sentence with "It is clear that..." and then the armor turns transparent. Imagine Kin's face.

I guess the question is: is Not Walter's name Kin, Minimax or Forgath? Because I think that if they know his name they have control over him.
