the stealth part is main reason it would be a E. Tech. You can turn your hand and grab someone no problem, just arcing electricity isn't all that subtle. Now you are probably thinking it doesn't have to arc, well to make electricity at all you have to first convert part of your body. Suckiest part of the immaterial energy elements is they are also the most overt and easy to notice.

I thought potential allowed me to do something like that without transforming. If not, then please tell me what it does do.

so anything I can do to get things moving along? it has been a few days now

Arc said Ox was going to do some oxy planning. So I was waiting up on that, prod him and we are golden.

Sorry been busy with homework and friends insisting I go out drinking with them. I might have a post up tonight, but if not then I'll finish it tomorrow.

Somebody on this forum has friends?! Blasphemy!

Alex is a helpful fella.

I can't help but think this is somehow my fault.

They may or may not be stuffed animals, and it may or may not have been a tea party.

wait? where are you getting dust? I mean I guess I get metalic dust, but figured you'd be more of a liquid metal thing. Remember you are the element of metal, if you want it to be metalic dust you cant later decide you want a solid elemental form.

Likewise, our toxic terror chose more of a sludge form, not a smoke one.

Doesn't really affect anything at the moment, just wanted it cleared up.

As for the distractions, missile will track you, even if purely human you are still targetable of course. Direct hit will really mess you up. On the opposite side, machine guns, only a threat if you got five guns unloading into you at once. Long as you employ basic survival instincts you are fine.

PS they are extras, fodder, feel free to kill off these NPCs like the red shirts they are

I was under the impression that we would have some control over the shape of our elemental form. For example as a Metal Elemental Ox would have a solid metal form, or he could reduce himself to a cloud of small metal particles (so he would resemble a dust cloud of sorts).

The same thing with Grevan, that he could turn into a poisonous cloud as well as his main "solid" sludge form.

In fact you said that Grevan already had the ability to turn into a gas cloud, so I assumed it could also be applied to Ox. Here's the quote:
