enhanced aim was Elf suggestion, I have explained at length that this was not the intention of my power, and I am not using it as such. I made it clear several times that Hainuwele is a status slinger.


and if what you say that the game is focused on fun rather than balance, then I dont see the problem with giving a shy character a confidence boost. it may yet have entirely unforseen and potentialy interesting consequences if the confidence suddenly runs out at inopportune times, or if she becomes so overly confident that she suddenly shows entirely new, sides to her that not even she herself could have predicted. I have left the full extent of confidence she gains from that and the duration it lasts entirely to Cado via irc, unless Elf wants to direct that

Hey! I try to balance things!
And you're doing a valiant job, but I think you're going to have about as much chance of it as Hai has of sticking Kyle in her mouth.

There are plenty of ways you can give statuses. Use your imagination.

It's rather less fun if people are complaining because some people get to make up all sorts of new powers as the situation arises, without even needing a good explanation. "I can drain these important medical drugs now! I can boost confidence now! I can change gender now!"

I'm surprised you haven't murderized Marie to hell and back for technically being able to do that.

The difference is, she hasn't been.

Ok, guys.

We're getting uncomfortably close to outright insults. I advise calming down.

WE NEED TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN

Nah but srsly I guess i could say that GWG is like 'stop making up abilities randomly >:C' and Akroma is like 'but you guys are so OP I need to catch up D:'

Am I reading this properly-ish?

I am saying that it is Elf alone who may decide what can be done via mana boosted acupuncture and what not.

No you weren't. :/ You may be now, but you definitely assumed stuff earlier.

No no, I'm not interested in the present tense, I'm interested in preserving the original argument for my own ponderification :P

various effects have been given as examples in previous explanation posts most of which seems pretty safe to me, else surely there would have been a comment
