shapeshift FTW !!!

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

If we need to define the shape shifters limitations then watch the episode of Red Dwarf I posted. We could base this wars shape shifter on the Polymorph. You really should watch it, it's quite funny. Should be worth a few laughs.

WoW Druids are getting new cat and bear forms in the next patch.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Typically in mythology a Shapeshifter (Lycanthrope) is actually a Werewolf.
However they can change into other various animals, and as far as I know only animals - and I think each shapeshifter can only change into one, or a handful of animals. I believe.

Not to be confused with the Star Trek Changeling which can change into whatever the hell it pleases.


Exactly.
Angrist - it's whatever you please. It's a popularity contest, which would win, which tastes better with aside of corn, which can fly farther out of a cannon, which has more water displacement, which has a larger mass, which has better vertical jump. Vote is based on whatever.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Is the character of Kirby considered a shapeshifter since he sucks up the powers of his enemies? If so, I my have to reconsider.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

And that is what I shall base my votes on from now on!



Shapeshifter because it could shift its shape into a small heavy animal.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Actually I don't think weight has a lot to do with how far you can fly out of a cannon. Aerodynamics are way more important.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Inertia has a lot to do with weight, though.
Unless I'm delusional in my state.

Fire a feather and a brick out of a cannon, brick will go farther.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

But it doesn't mean that the heavier your brick is, the further it flies, right? You will reach a point where adding more weight will just shorten the flight distance.

If you took the feathers weight and put it into the form of a very small ball (or a brick), it would fly pretty far. The shape of the feather is the biggest problem, not the weight.

I guess it's a balance between weight to keep momentum, and aerodynamics to minimize air resistance.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

If the object weighs more, you just need a more powerful cannon. I believe it's conservation of momentum.

A feather and cannonball would fall at the same speed/time in a vacuum (no atmosphere). So on Earth a cannonball would obviously be better than a feather because of drag and air resistance, but I thought mass cancels out for one of those equations. I don't remember much from physics, but I think both of you guys should be hugging not fighting.

Now let's get back to arguing about how this thread is total bullshit because the Goblin isn't winning. :p

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Red Dwarf is awesome!

And as far as the battle goes:

A goblin is just a goblin, but a shapeshifter could be anything! It could even be a goblin! You know how badass those things are.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Next 3 polls will be later tonight, or tomorrow. I have work to do today and don't have time.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

Objects fall at the same speed regardless of mass. On earth diregarding air resistance it is 9.8 m/sec. I think (but I haven't done too much physics lately) the only thing that the mass of the object would effect would be the amount of force needed to overcome the amount of friction in the cannon itself. So I don't think weight matters nearly as much as aerodynamics. A heavier object will do considerably more damage though, because of momentum, which is also why the air will slow it down less.

Re: Shapeshifter vs. Goblin
 

I've had this discussion before, but on another forum, and about Legolas using 3 arrows instead of one. :D People said that 3x arrow means 3x damage. I said that if the arrow is strong enough, it would be best to bundle the momentum into one arrow. Which would go deeper than 3 separate arrows.
