Nightbane vs Dead reign

[drakinn]

Is Nightbane better than Dead Reign? why or why not?

[Jefffar]

No and not the reverse. They are different genres, so whichever genre you prefer most is the one that's best for you to play.

[Misfit KotLD]

Oops, wrong thread.

I've a friend who wants to combine DR and NB on the theory even a Bane would need some caution against the vast hordes of undead DR has.

Is pointless question, is like asking if you prefer Spiderman or Batman. Two different things. Each very good in their own.

Spiderman

[drakinn]

Batman that is easy

[drewkitty ~..~]

Th only answer I can give is that NS is better then Any zombi game. This is due to that I don't have DR, and I don't really get any other system other then PB's.

Batman hands down.

a better question is: which side would prevail? the Nightbane or Dead Reign.

Nightbane are produced in direct proportion to Nightlord minions' presence in a dimension. if they unleashed something to destroy most of humanity & turn them into zombies without having too much physical contact with it, the Nightbane would be relatively few. Dead Reign zombies see PPE as light. Nightbanes are Lighthouses of PPE. they would never get a moment's rest in either form. even Nightbane can get tired.

Not sure what you mean by 'side' here. There aren't any clear cut sides. Zombies are (except when managed by Priests of Brulyx, Mock Zombies, Half-Dead or Zombie tamers/wranglers, etc.) pretty much a force of nature, and Nightbane are often part of factions with different aims or working solo.

If you're talking about the sum of all Nightbane versus the sum of all Zombies, I think the Nightbane would easily trump them. They're just too powerful, too mobile, too regenerative, to be beaten. I forget the ratio of normal humans to Nightbane, but even if it was a million to 1 and every human was turned, I still think the Banes would be victorious.

The lighthouse of PPE that zombies see (at NIGHT) is still obscured by things like buildings (though I'm not entirely sure what the metaphysics are behind that) so Nightbane would get a moment's rest. Especially during the day, when PPE is less visible.

I think you'd end up seeing some Nightbane trying to use the zombies to their advantage though, possibly siding with the Brulyxians, just like some side with the nightlords.

Nightbane are produced in direct proportion to Nightlord minions' presence in a dimension. if they unleashed something .. without having too much physical contact with it, the Nightbane would be relatively few.

I don't think Nightbane work that way. Is this some new Dark Conversions thing? The Nightbane often have their Becoming in response to stressful situations, and Dark Day and the invasion have certainly triggered more of those, which has resulted in more Nightbane being awakened to who they are (as opposed to never discovering their true nature) but I wouldn't say that the Nightlords actually PRODUCE the Nightbane. They're there, they're just usually Latent.

yes, it's a Dark Conversions thing. Nightbane are the natural supernatural anti-bodies in any dimension that Nightlords enter. zombies don't see light/dark. they see grey & energy force as Light. yes, Nightbane Squads or Groups could triumph. but I think that zombies would swarm any Nightbane that was alone. zombies don't get tired, simply put, and are hard to kill unless you hit their heads and crush it.

also, if there are Nightbane, there are Nightlords. the zombies would draw out the Nightbane & the Nightlords would sweep in while they are tired from all the fighting and kill them all.

zombies may be a force of nature, but they are an easily controlled force of Nature by the nightlords.

[Tor]

The Nightlords were born on earth, they were human sorcerers. So they hardly "entered" the dimension of Nightbane Earth. Nothing in the original Nightbane books talks about requiring Nightlords to exist.

I don't hate the idea of antibodies, but I think it's more likely they would react to the Dark itself rather than its minions.

I propose that to disambiguate the original RCC and the Dark Conversions RCC, we either do Nightspawn/Nightbane or Nightbane/Darkbane.

iron man. you know the guy bats wants to be. and game wise in dr you are most of the time a normal human. so for raw power nightbane for lots of fleeing dr

I think Bruce could do without Tony's drinking problems and inferior fighting abilities, but I suppose he would covet his tech.

[Kinghawke]

bruce simply is lacking the heart/core. he could easily come up with anything else. he has superior tech, Tony just flaunts it more. two different worlds.

[Tor]

He may have created Brother Eye but he didn't create the OMACs or anything. Batman's a decent hacker and AI programmer apparently. Perhaps his surveillance capabilities could approach those of Oracle and Calculator's. But in terms of raw tech creation, while he has made powered armor and stuff (some credit must go to Lucius though) I doubt its capabilities approach those of Tony's.

Batman's power armor had trouble beating Bane. Tony's power armor can match Thor or Hulk at times. Not really much of a comparison.
