Title: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on August 18, 2013, 05:01:45 pm

This is the OOC thread for Rise of the Magic Girls v2.

Please post your character sheets and applications here. We are always taking in new players and waitlisters.

Keep in mind that this is not a complete reboot, but a continuation of the original. There will be changes to the setting, but for now, sit back and enjoy the story.

Trick question, there aren't any.

Spoiler: Character Sheets (click to show/hide)

So, you want to join our little party? Here's how.
Firstly; decide if your character is to be dual form or single form. Dual form gets less stats, but injuries aren't carried over to another form. Single form gets more stats, but at the cost of having to be conventionally healed first.


Name: Normal form/Magic form (if applicable)
Gender
Age
Stats: (60 points if dual form, 75 if single)*
STR- Physical strength.
END- Stamina and resilience to physical attack.
DEX- Agility and evasion.
MAG- Magical strength.
MIND-Intelligence and power to resist magical attack.
Power: What does your character do? If you think it's OP, please contact me first.
HP=([ENDx5]+[STRx2])x3

MP=(50+MIND/MAG)*5

*Stats are formatted as N/M if dual form, where N is normal form and M is magical form.

Spoiler: Mana (click to show/hide)

Basically, this system will take over from Emp's multiplier system. Every character is subject to mana use.

Mana is calculated by the following equation
50 (everything has 50 base mana, even Muggles)+ MAG(if magical)/MIND( if Persona/superpower)x5
(50+MIND/MAG)*5

Mana is only used in alternate forms if applicable.

Mana usage will be divided into several categories.
Manaless: These acts lack any mana costs. They are either mundane or very weak (conjuring a small illusion, moving a rock with your hand, etc) or have another, very serious disadvantage (Anima's ults are Manaless precisely because she loses a summon per ult, Ashley is unable to move after using hers, Ciro doesn't use mana in Laeveteinn because she ends up in a coma afterwards).
Minor: Small acts (blasts of wind, first tier Persona spells, basically anything that only hits small groups or single people). These will cost 5-10 mana.
Moderate:Moderate acts (short-range teleportation, hitting a large group with fire, middle tier Persona spells, etc). These cost 10-20 mana depending on the act.
MajorStrong acts (long range teleportation, high tier Persona spells),  costing 20-30 mana.
Mighty Very powerful acts (destroying whole blocks, using Panta Rhei/Ragnarok/Niflheim/Samsara/Die For Me/equivalent tier Persona spell or normal spell). 50+ mana.
HP: Spells can also drain from HP instead of mana. These spells tend to be stronger, with a +10 added to the roll and from 5-6 extra damage to 10-11 extra.
All physical Persona skills drain HP.
People may also define a skill as an HP drain, in which case the above mana categorisation system applies, only with health.

For the purposes of mana, Summons use their summoner's mana/health, but summoning in itself costs no mana/health.

Spoiler: Summon Stats (click to show/hide)

Summons (i.e constructs, Personae, typical summon minions, etc) have 50 starting points. There is +1 point added for every 2 MAG points (if the summon is magic-based, i.e Ciro, Anima) and +1 for every 2 MIND points (if power-based, i.e Izzy or Lucas or Persona-based, i.e Richard, Yuri).

These stats are to be divided into:
STR- Same as STR for characters.
AGI- The summon's ability to dodge and counter attacks, as well as perform acrobatics.
END- Same as character END.
MAG- Same as character MAG.
WILL- Similar to MIND, it determines how much magical or mental attack the summon can withstand. Their MAG check stands in for any MIND checks they have to perform.

HP is calculated by the same calculation as characters ([ENDx5]+[STRx2]x3). Similarly, any special conditions can be confirmed with the GM.

Finally, you can opt to have your summon contain an 'Affinity', which works similarly to elemental damage. This allows them to have an extra multiplier to their attacks based off that Affinity, and another multiplier against enemies weak to said Affinity, but they also take x2 damage (applied to the STR/MAG calculation, not the d20 roll) from the Affinity opposite. Similarly, any attacks used against enemies of the same Affinity are halved in damage.

E.G: Abraxas (void Affinity) does twice as much damage to Ciro (who cannot stand the Void). However, Ashley (void Affinity) takes less damage from Abraxas' attacks. Similarly, Ciro's attacks (Creation Affinity) do double damage to Abraxas.

Post by: RangerCado on August 18, 2013, 05:10:55 pm

Spoiler: Selina (click to show/hide)

Name: Selina / Ghost

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Appearence: A 16 year old girl with emerald green eyes and long hazel hair that covers her left eye. She's about 5'6 with a skinny build, lightly tanned skin, and a small chest.

Magic Appearence: Same age, height and chest size. Has electric blue eyes, glowing teal hair, and tan skin. Her face has jagged yellow tattoos on it, as well as on her arms. She's wearing a light blue jumpsuit with small boots and gloves.

Power: The power of Drawings! Can take drawings out of their pictures as 3-D items. The change can be reversed with the original location of the drawing. The bigger the drawing, the more effort it takes to take it out of its location, with living things taking 3X the effort.

Background: Selina was a shy girl, had been since birth. Her parents tried many times to help her make friends when she began school, but to no avail. Her only interest in school was drawing, and what detailed drawings they were! Even in kindergarden she could draw a garden of flowers, each one being unique and expertly detailed in a matter of days. Just after she turned 10 however, she became deathly ill.

Despite numerous treatments and procedures, the Doctors were unable to help her and she seemed doomed to die... until her father intervened. He prayed and begged every god and deity he knew to spare his daughters life in exchange for his. And just when Selina was about to die, a great light appeared above her bed. As the light dimmed, Selina grew stronger while her father grew weaker. When the light had fully dimmed and left, Selina stabalized. Her father died minutes later, clasping his daughters hand, with a smile on his face.

After leaving the hospital and attending her father's funeral, Selina felt that something about her had changed. It wasn't until she was 12 that she discovered she could make her drawings move, as if they were alive or real. When she turned 13, she was able to pull a plate right out of the page. At 14 she managed to coax a butterfly out of a field she had drawn, though it took immense effort to do so. After the butterfly, Selina condsidered, several times, whether to draw her father and bring him back. With a depressed sigh she decided against it, not knowing what might happen if she made a full size living and thinking human being. Over the last couple years, Selina worked on perfecting her talent, not knowing if she was the only one in the world who could do what she did.

(The biggest thing she managed to take out was a fairy about half a foot tall. She was unconcious for 2 hours when she accomplished it. The fairy stays in her room at home most of the time, reading books and learning things about the world she was brought into.( I hope this is alright, if not, discount it )

Spoiler: Yuri/Shy'sm Caes (click to show/hide)

Name: Midorikawa Yuri / Demons Run
Gender: Female
Appearance: Yuri is a frail, thin, generally weak-looking girl with snow-white hair which falls down to her shoulderblades, and eyes which are seemingly always closed, and paired with an eternally happy smile on her face. her complexion is a deep olive which belies her Greek heritage. In fact, Yuri's eyes opening are the trigger for the activation of her Magical Girl form.

Magical Girl Costume: Upon Yuri's eyes opening, they begin to glow, a sharp, bloody crimson light escaping them and obscuring their true colors from view. Her snow-colored hair becomes similarly red, the tips of it constantly dripping blood onto the ground around her, at least, when she isn't using it as part of her magic. The strands are also bound up with scores of bloody bandages into an intricately interlocking series of braids, constantly shifting a little, knotting and re-knotting.

Most striking of all is how her form changes, muscles across her form atrophying, her form turning frail and weak. Her smile, usually sweet and kindly, if perhaps a bit emotionless, splitting open into an ear-splitting, psychotic grin. Blood bursts out of her wrists and ankles, wrapping around her body into a suit of flowing sanguine armor. Her tongue, meanwhile, somehow extends to almost ten times its normal length, hanging well out of her mouth. Demons Run often uses it to lap up shed blood.

Power: Blood Magic!

Background: Was born to a rich Greek family which had stood as such since the time of ancient greece, all the way through the Roman empire an the middle ages. They did so, however, because the firstborn child of each generation was anointed with a blood ritual passed down through their family. This ritual stunted the physical wellbeing of the child, but granted them the power of blood, to allow them to manipulate and control it for their own means, whether it be their own or that of others.

The family was, however, forced to flee greece well before she was born, making their way to Japan and becoming a fixture of a small town somewhere in its most isolated places, continuing to exist and prosper through their blood rites.

Personally, she has known little but the secret life of her family and her training to take over for her mother when her time comes, being anointed with the powers of blood on her fifth birthday and trained in their use by her mother. The only member of her family that was allowed to associate with her during that time was a cousin, a bright, cheerful girl named Aria who was essentially the only reason that Yuri got through some days.

A week ago, Yuri walked in on Aria just as the girl cut her own throat, and because of her powers, the majority of her family blames her for her doing so, accusing her of somehow forcing her to do it.

Spoiler: Tori (NPC) (click to show/hide)

Name:Tori
Gender:Male
Appearance: a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man who works as a chauffeur for the Midorikawa family. He often wears a black suit with a white undershirt and a pair of sunglasses, and occasionally a strange sword which seems part western design, part eastern, with a western-type cross-guard and hilt attached to the blade of a Katana. This blade is named Pendragon, and has properties of its own. He also is occasionally seen with what appears to be a broken two-handed sword's hilt, part of the blade still attached.
Power: Badass Normal (No magical form or Magic stat, 30 point base, deals damage as a Magical being at all times.)

Background: Tori doesn't talk about his past, and that which is known is only that he started working for the Midorikawa family some ten years prior to Yuri's birth, and has been her personal bodyguard and transportation ever since. He may or may not (at GreatWyrmGold's discretion) have a child he calls Nimue who stays with him.

These creatures have the curious ability to induce magical powers in these girls through a magically binding contract. There is often some sort of exchange involved, such as a task that needs to be fulfilled or some downside to the powers themselves, and the wishes granted tend to be fulfilled to the letter and not the spirit of the wish, given the fact that Tsukaima, as a rule, are incapable of understanding human emotions.

Spoiler: Angel (click to show/hide)

Normal (Full) Name: Angel Beatrice Carlson
Magical Name: Nuriel
Gender: Female
Appearance, Normal: A fairly short (~3'2") kindergartner. She has straight auburn hair to her shoulders, pale skin, and blue eyes. She wears glasses and green clothes of various sorts.
Appearance, Magical: This generous friendly magical girl's droopy eyes are the color of an overcast sky and her medium-length, wavy, fine, black hair is worn in a military-style style. She is tall (6 ft and a bit) She has an hourglass build. Her pretty, odd costume is yellow and blue in even proportions and glows with a powerful radiance.
Power: Her Magical Girl powers are mainly fire-based. Angel's Magical Girl form is also significantly taller (looking like a tall, beautiful 18-year-old), stronger, and has a pair of wings which can be used to fly.
Background: Angel is a child prodigy. She began school a year early and is in first grade despite being only 5. More importantly, she reads a lot. She's not a talker, which gives her plenty of time to spend reading various scientific books and such. She had a firm grasp on how the world worked since some time in kindergarten.
You may have gathered that this didn't last. It didn't.
A few months ago, Angel was on a camping trip and got lost while hiking. She tried to find her way beck to the campsite, but couldn't. She tripped and fell into a ravine...next thing she knew, she was back at the campsite with no injuries or fatigue and a weird sun-shaped mark on her chest.
Since then, Angel has discovered her ability to invoke the form of a neo-angelic being (the modern interpretations of angels, that is) with pyrokinetic abilities...or something like that. Angel is interested in how this works and irritated that her "other self" is a lot different--more outgoing and valiant, and also stupid and not interested in scientific processes. Where will this lead? Soon...we may see.

Most data found here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Agoa7qn0H_c4dHgyY0oxM0NDZ2I4cWRVcVBfRzNObFE#gid=0). When we actually learn more about dragons, I'll get around to publicking it.

General Abilities:
The following are special abilities possessed by all dragons.
Dragonmind--Dragons have a low-level mindmeld with all non-Yellow dragons.
Elemental Nature--Dragons (aside from Yellow Dragons, thanks to their ancestors' fell rituals, and one other sort, for reasons to be determined later) are associated with one element depending on their race. Magic associated with this element automatically fails; mundane effects from the element do not affect it either. On the other hand, opposed elemental effects are more potent; magic ignores the dragon's magic resistance, and attacks deal double (if magical) or half-again (if mundane) damage!
Hardened Scales--Dragons take less damage from physical attacks. Typically, the damage is reduced by the sum of its Endurance and Magic, divided by ten and rounded up, but some attacks (such as machine guns and fragmentation grenades) which are ineffective against armor are more strongly affected (typically doubling or tripling the value), and advanced armor-piercing attacks halve the effective value.
Magic Resistance--All dragons are resistant to magic. When directly targeted by magic of any sort, they make an opposed Magic roll against the user; if the dragon's roll is greater, the magic does not affect it! This does not apply to elemental weaknesses.

Not all mine, nor was the idea, but a lot of the development/plotty stuff was done by me and I made the doc: Mirrorverse Characters (https://docs.google.com/document/d/12TIxO1Q4hM3pxdPRyHMgYie8zsWZhVhxNWrszItB1iQ/edit?usp=sharing). Add inverses of your character today!

Power:  Not Kyle specializes in manipulation of air which he uses to do most things another magic girl can do minus things air is not good for. (He can fly but he can't make illusions.) The harder it is to do the more of a strain it is. (Ie. picking a lock is tiring but pick up his soda can from a foot away is easy.)

Backstory:  Kyle was born in to a comfortable life with a healthy family and only a minor attachment to his blanket. One day he found an odd wand looking thing and grabbed it. About a minute later he realized he was in a dress. 30 seconds later he realized he could control air and get out of the dress near instantly. He decided that he was now in some weird anime and continued on with his life while secretly playing with his new powers.

Added in some recent events into Matt's backround.

Name: Matt/Gintama
Gender: Male
Appearance: 17 year old with brown messy hair and plain brown eyes. Wears smart-casual clothing normally, looks quite studious, but tends to look vulnerable with his arms in his pockets and close to his torso. He stands a little more upright and carries a little more confidence than before. When he properly rears up, he shows that his chest is surprisingly broad.
Magic Form: looks mid twenties with blond stylised hair, a cocky smile with wild blue eyes. Well toned, wears a white shirt with a navy blue tie and navy blue blazer with navy blue suit trousers. He usually has a magically refilling gin glass.
Power: Gintama has the ability to fly and create lightning. He also has the ability to pass on his drunken state to someone else. His lightning abilities have not been fully realised, but he can self-charge himself with his own self-created storm to boost his own power, physically and magically, but may hurt himself in doing so. If he is drunk and overpowered, he discharged randomly, hurting himself.
Somehow, Matt never inherits the drunken state, but oh the hangovers!

Background: Matt was a guy who kept himself to himself whilst passing with ease. He was quiet and squeaky clean, but was often a bit of a target. One time, his major bullies promised they'd never bug him again if he'd go for a drink, despite being underage (he was 16... not like 17 is of age either.). Matt, determined to see them off, went to a bar they picked out. On entering, the bar was quiet with wires all over the place. He ordered a gin from the barman who, mysteriously, never asked for the age. Matt drank a few glasses, before falling unconscious. On awakening, he was at home in bed. He went to where the bar was just to find it was just a house all of a sudden. His first transformation scared him. Where Matt is quiet, cool and logical, Gintama's stupid, cocky and chaotic. Gintama also likes to flirt with the girls where Matt often shirks away.
Since his meeting with George, his ancestor, Matt has found that he and Gintama are the same being, so now in his magical form, he is much calmer than before, though still retaining overconfidence. This has affected his normal state, where he has much more confidence than before.
He holds strong feelings for Maria and Selina, and is very protective of both. Somewhat strained friendship with Kyle, and fatherly protective of Angel. He has yet to properly meet Yuri, but has seen her from the sight portals, and is wary, but not unfriendly in demeanor.

Appearance:In her normal form, she has short brown hair, and her eyes are a sort of dull grey, and appears to be about 14. 
In her Magical form, she wears a white dress, with a red ribbon around the stomach, and another in the hair. In this form, her hair is a bit longer, and her eyes have a sort of bluish tinge to them, along with the grey.

Power: Catherine is capable of manipulating water, using it to help heal wounds. Though she mostly relies on regular weapons, such as her sword, she can also use the water itself to hurt, as well as heal.

Background: Catherine was a pretty shy girl, and didn't really have many friends growing up. She mostly kept to herself, although, one day she came across a strange ribbon in a shop. For some reason, she felt compelled to buy it, and later that night, when she tried it on, she was transformed into a magical girl.

Secondary characters:

Spoiler: Cyrielle Taylor (click to show/hide)

Normal Appearance: A frail 18 year old girl of average height, slightly pale with blonde hair and bright green eyes.
Former Magical Appearance: Cyrielle’s hair turns black and her eyes adopt a dull black coloring. She is enshrouded by a peculiar, unsettling long coat; a point-down pentagram is inscribed inside a circle the sigil is printed in blood-red dye over the fabric of the coat that covers her heart, contrasting with black material that it was imposed onto. Upon closer inspection, the sterile darkness of her coat seems to absorb all light near it; offset only by the crisp, white blouse underneath it and the monotonous grey gloves that protrude from underneath it. Even calling it black would be slightly inaccurate. The abysmal depths of the fabric seem to stretch forever into an eternal void in a color darker than black, yet the material contradicts its own phantasmal depth by appearing to completely two-dimensional. Overall, this part of the outfit has an unsettling, angular appearance with rigid corners that have the illusion of sharpness.  Dull, metallic plating extends in sparse amounts from the joints of the armor-like grey trousers which extend from underneath the coat before ending just above the polished black leather shoes. The more idiosyncratic features of her garments are usually subtle and almost unnoticeable except under close inspection, however, these traits become increasingly obvious in proportion to magic usage. In this form, Cyrielle's emotions and morals are mostly suppressed. When fully focused, a crystalline visor conceals her face, with nothing visible beneath the dull Stygian silver, somehow, she can still see through it despite its glaring lack of transparent materials or gaps for sight, while a partial distortion field occurs in the center of her chest area, bending and attenuating light.

Former Power: Distortion Manipulation – able to generate and vaguely direct fluid tears in reality; they display an unnatural sharpness despite the spherical bluntness they should logically possess; they flow like an extremely viscous fluid that can completely ignore gravity. These distortions explosively expand and attenuate when they travel through low to high and back to sufficiently low-density substances. The distortion can be used as a ranged beam, when utilized as thus, it can easily pierce targets; however, it will have a miniscule entry and exit wound, though it will knock targets towards the beams origin when the beam detonates after exiting; hence, it can only be used effectively if aimed at major organs with different densities. The tear can also be shaped as a blade and used for melee combat. Her power is usually channeled to summon a rift-created matte-black sniper rifle that is missing many of its components, including most of its barrel, its stock and its scope. The weapon has a rather odd muzzle-flash, if it could be called that. Mysterious runic symbols appear in front of it as if an invisible pen etched an ink onto the air itself, but the most striking feature of its muzzle-flash is that it absorbs light and sound rather than emitting it. It can be deconsolidated into a whip-like tear blade, which can quickly coil and reconsolidate into its rifle form.
Current Power: Absolute Fate control. Currently too inexperienced to use.

Background: The first word Cyrielle ever learned was “prognosis” whispered in hushed tones and silenced anguish in the dead of the night. Her condition was more or less, incurable. Though “life-threatening” was the official statement, there was little to no doubt that it would claim Cyrielle’s life; it was merely a matter of when. Cyrielle coped quite well in spite of death hanging over her like the Sword of Damocles; it was mainly due to a combination of apathy (she had the condition for as long as she could have remembered so she didn’t really “lose” anything she previously had) and a mildly nihilistic, yet positive outlook on life. She made friends quickly and participated in everything she could. Yet hidden from this picturesque childhood was a cold, sterile world of examinations, of desperate procedures and of grim verdicts. Cyrielle’s condition was quickly deteriorating; her life was slowly being strangled by the noose she prepared for herself: Cyrielle never wanted to die in a hospital bed, to fade slowly over the course of days, weeks or months. Rather, if she was going to perish, she’d rather burn herself out and die on her on terms in whatever short amount of time she had left, she was adamant to experience life as best as she could. Her life would be much shorter, yes, but in her mind at least, it was a better fate than to live in a death-like state within the open casket of a bed. Eventually, the inevitable occurred. There was no light at the end of the tunnel; but there was no fire either. Only an endless void, in spite of popular depictions of nothingness, it was not black. Black is quantized by its differentiation from other colors, but there was no color here, just an endless absolute emptiness. It took about an hour for the unfortunate girl to realize that she wasn’t dead; a long coat’s sleeve was just pressed against her face, obstructing her view. Straightening the odd garment that had somehow applied itself to her, Cyrielle realized that her ailing heart was now beating with a strong steady rhythm that echoed through her body for some reason, she didn’t care that much. Managing somehow to switch back into her normal form, she realized that something had cured her, or had at least, bought her more time, the overdue elation finally registered in her mind. There were questions of course, from friends, family and doctors alike they were never answered, there was no indication of what panacea healed her and there was no indicator that she ever had her condition. Eventually everyone just gave up trying to understand what happened and moved on with their lives.

STR: [18]
MAG: [0]
DEX: [24]
END: [20]
MND: [24]

Special:
No Magic: Cyrielle no longer has any magic of her own.
Drug Immunity: Cyrielle was immune to all drugs since her bodily functions were operated by her contractor. This immunity did not extend to any magically summoned or enhanced drugs such as Gintama's alcohol, however. Due to the fact that her body adapted to the changes, her new organs had to replicate those.
Theurgy Compatibility: As it was her former ability source, Cyrielle can still utilize theurgy-based equipment with greater efficiency and without drawbacks that affect the user.
Sniper: She can skip a turn to take a MND check to lock-on to a target. this is an instant success if the target is stationary.
Computer Proficiency: Cyrielle is able to program according to realistic standards very well.

Equipment:
Signal Rifle: A heavily modified weapon that used to be her primary weapon as a Fate contractor. Though she can no longer operate its usual firing mode, it has been extensively modified to accommodate her new combat style. Its significantly higher distortion intensity allows it to partially deconsolidate and reconsolidate its internal core into a tendril that repeatedly stabs targets at long range in a pattern that represents her associated main loop in a binary format. Under normal conditions it deals lower damage but disrupts organs and causes bleeding. With each shot, the enemy must resist possession with difficulty inversely proportional to their HP. Its scope allows for the detection and targeting or avoidance of vital organs. Consolidated high intensity distortion, effects that oppose the current realm cause partial deconsolidation in a directed blast.
Possessed Longcoat: Formally a long coat possessing supernatural capabilities, it is now mostly inert despite a significantly higher distortion intensity. However, should Annie or Wheatley take control of it via their embedded main loop signals, it acts as a remote vector for their abilities. Can act a voluntarily-activated, pseudo-explosive reactive armor once per charge with a maximum of one charge. This charge is regained at the end of combat or by manually charging it in combat. Any enemies caught in the protective blast must resist possession with difficulty inversely proportional to their HP. Consolidated high intensity distortion, effects that oppose the current realm cause partial deconsolidation in a directed blast.
Communications Bracelet: A standard communications bracelet. Sends signals through Fate to prevent interception.
Poisoned Dagger: Taken from a divine armory. Specifications currently unknown.

Peripheral characters:

Spoiler: Silica Tykki (click to show/hide)

Appearance: Pale and frail with white hair that seems to slowly attenuate out of existence rather than end, glass-like eyes with blue flames inside. Other than that, nothing else about her indicates that she is a spirit possessed construct.
Abilities: Phoenix nature/High velocity movement
Silica can dash at supersonic speeds without harming herself. She also fly, but only if it is followed by a dive. Upon death, Silica can still remotely interact with the world via a spirit, however, it takes a while (1d7 days) to regain enough strength to do so. She can incinerate objects to form a body for herself made out of substances that whilst resembling organic matter are somehow structurally similar to diamond (but not in properties). Either way, it comes at the cost of being uncoordinated since she resides in the afterlife rather than in the construct thus dulling her senses.

Str: [0]
Mag: [37]
Dex: [0]
End: [0]
Mind: [37]

Special:
Single Form: Silica has an initial statbase of 34 rather than 25. She only has one form however.
Overspecialized: Silica has below the minimum amount of points in most stats and have them distributed to her strong stats. She cannot invest points in any stat with no points, nor gain buffs for them.
Dual Abilities: Silica has two sets of abilities that can be used simultaneously in the same Mighty-classification spell which uses all her mana, scaling with her current mana quantity. This is also her only spell.
Phoenix: Silica can always generate a new body for her to operate though it can take up to a week to generate a new one as a spirit. All rolls with total values below 51 are treated as natural rolls of 1.

Spoiler: Alfred Haze/- (click to show/hide)

Appearance: A young man of average height with pink hair and grey eyes. His fashion sense is  best described as 'neat, casual' with numerous, subtle aspects of a certain degree of formality. Generally inconspicuous.
Magical Appearance: He wears a grey mage's cloak that has had components from various armors integrated into it to force it to adopt the shape of a formal, albeit slightly angular suit. Beneath his cloak he wears a crisp, slightly blue shirt with a black tie and grey trousers ending in black leather shoes.
Ability: Interest rate application
Alfred can delay the result of an action (i.e. a roll) for a specified amount of time (shorter is easier). The action is then temporarily erased from existence. After the delay ends, the action's true result becomes defined and cascades into the present without affecting the past. This however, earns interest, thus delayed actions will have amplified magnitude if they turn out to be successful (interest rate increases with relative difficulty and investment duration, so the more difficult the roll for the investor, the higher interest rate it is invested at), however, if it is unsuccessful, the action becomes irrecoverably lost. Alternatively, he can loan extra actions to people without any initial cost, however, the person must pay off the cost and interest within the set time (shorter is easier) with the resources used for that action (interest rate increases with relative difficulty and loan duration) or else Alfred will involuntarily repossess the debtor's asset. He can choose what to repossess but he must repossess enough to pay off the debts. He can inflict an investment or loan without the other party's consent (if he beats their roll of course).

I did imply that we weakened it and all Matt did was blast the armor apart with what Demons Run was already doing.

Spoiler: Maria Ryan (click to show/hide)

Name: Maria Ryan
Magical Name: Anima
Gender: Female
Appearance: A 17 year old girl of average height, with brown eyes and brown hair.
Magical Appearance: Similar to her normal appearance, but she is now taller and clad in a purple robe, plated with black metal. Her hands are covered with long, slender, black gauntlets, inset with a purple gem, from which she utilises her magic. She also bears an unadorned black staff as a weapon. She, inexplicably, has the power to fly.
Power: Summoning. Specifically, those from mythology or religion. Her favourite is the centaur Chiron, a familiar of hers.
Backstory: Maria was an average teenager, getting her homework done and going to school. At least, until one day. She witnessed her friends being accosted by strange, masked creatures, and she suddenly transformed into a robed, taller form of herself. Maria, unaware of her powers, tried anything to fight off the beasts, and summoned one of her favourite mythological figures, Chiron, who chased them away. With the gratitude of her friends, Maria was spurred on. Ever since, she has prowled the night within her home town, stopping the masked creatures wherever they may be, utilising her powers to the fullest.

Spoiler: Stella and Bismuth (click to show/hide)

Name: Stella Watters/ Bismuth
Gender: Female/Female?
Appearance: (Normal) A 16 year old girl, kinda tall and gangly and awkward looking. She happens to have brown hair and blue eyes, for those that care.

Appearance: (Magical!) A rather statuesque 'woman'....or possibly walking statue. I mean, she looks like she's made of skin-colored bronze. It's a bit freaky, you know? Anyways, she looks about 21 (and has much more chest than Stella) and is dressed in something that would probably be far too plain on any other magical girl. What do you know, it's just some kind of dark blue top and matching skirt, along with boots for some reason and the obligatory Zettai Ryouki-creating stockings.  Lastly, she often carries a really big sword ( a claymore, perhaps?) strapped to her back. She even draws it that way! It looks bizarre and may involve her not having bones.

Power: Pretty much all of Stella's powers are based on metal. Besides the obvious ironskin effect on her magic form, she can do a faux-magnetism effect on metal objects, regardless of whether or not they're actually magnetic. As one can imagine, this has all sorts of uses.

Background: Just an ordinary classics-professor's-daughter, or so she'd like to think! And truth be told, aside from possibly having HFA, Stella was actually pretty ordinary in her childhood in some nondescript part of America. Recently, however, she ran into a bit of an...accident, perhaps. Though she doesn't talk about it much, it was evidently this incident, along with some encouragement from a certain hitchhiker in her mind, that turned her powers on. She's still not really used to the whole magical girl thing. At all. And yes, she has a magical girl friendunit , because every good magical girl has one. Stella's one just doesn't seem to be anything but a hitchhiker. It's not even her magical girl form!

Type: Suntouched Alcoholic
Class: Artillery
Note: Has radiation warning tattoos on chest, back and shoulders. Comes with many bottles of alcohol!

Abilities:

Nuclear Fusion!: Used for many high-powered attacks, most involving plasma. Some give radiation poisoning-like effects.
Solar Power!: Light element magic. Not as powerful as NUCLEAR FUSION, but much easier to use.
Tavern Brawl!: Those bottles can HURT. A lot. They don't shatter as easily as movies would have you believe.
Flashy: Those nuclear attacks tend to set off klaxons and nuclear sirens and CAUTION!! magic circles. Long story short, it's INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS when she's going to use one. They also take some time to cast.
Supercritical: When she 'dies', she goes up in a miniature atomic fireball, dealing explosive, fire, and poison damage to anyone nearby.

Type: Sympathetic Antagonist/ Badass
Class: Gunner/Fencer
 Note: Comes with Ruhm MMG/HMG and Longsword. Does not come with spoily things, not that she needs to.

Abilities:

Fencing: That Longsword's pretty tough, and she uses it quite well.
Gunner: The Ruhm is an odd-looking handheld medium or heavy machine gun that's surprisingly accurate in Marie's hands. It also hurts like hell and has significant range. She can practically snipe with the thing. Too heavy for most people to use, honestly. IT also prevents her from carrying the Ragnaid (medkits) player characters normally have in Valkyria Chronicles.
Mysterious: Difficult to kill, and regenerates health over time.





Terra Incognita (http://tnypic.net/c9zmv.png)
Type: Mysterious Nature Spirit
Class: Support

Abilities:

Plant Affinity: Can manipulate plants somewhat. Usually not enough for attacks unless there are vines about, but it can be used to slightly improve the cover provided by a bush, for instance.

Banshee: Projects a psionic wave of paralyzing fear at opponents.

Mind Worms: When those little pink worms crawl out of her clothes, they mean serious business. These creatures are more or less controlled by Marie and offer a wide range of utility in spite of their slow speed and fragility:

Link: Although the telepathic link is somewhat unreliable, it nonetheless allows Marie to use the worm's senses. It's not that good, but it can be used to map an area or find someone with a distinctive smell or silhouette.

Brain Eater: The worms like to eat emotions and memories. Can be used to remove mental effects from allies, although having worms on your face is practically a debuff in itself. Enemies are a bit trickier, but it can work there too, in addition to hitting them with temporary confusion.

Burrowers: In which the mind worms attempt to burrow into someone's brain. Obviously, this is a one-hit-kill on many a biological enemy, but is absolutely useless against machines and such.




Kit Lars (http://tnypic.net/5o6ss.png)
Type: Inexperienced Fox Maid
Class: Utility/Speedster

Abilities:

Megaphone: Those enormous ears give Marie amazing hearing in this form. Her other senses are also a bit better than normal, due to painstaking training.

Maid Training: She's not a ninja, but nonetheless, Marie can walk very quietly, very fast. (And hold tea while doing it!)

Utility Magic: Can clean up stains or clear a room of a smell or cloud.

Knife Nut: She has an infinite supply of knives if she gives them time to restock. They're all hidden knives, meaning they're not as big as they could be. Some can be thrown.




Natirel Lee
Type: Murderous Cat Dryad
Class: Striker

Appearance: A young cat-girl with red hair and green eyes, wearing a green top and shorts. She has sharp claws, and portions of her skin seem to be covered in bark.

Abilities:
Dryad: Can form objects out of magically hardened wood. Her normal use for this is massive wooden claws that are actually quite effective. She can also use it to block attacks!

Ferocious: Due to the sheer axe-crazy-ness of this person, Marie is even more resistant to fear than usual.

Unstable: Marie occasionally attacks her own allies in this form, because she's just that crazy.


Reinhilde Moriarty
Type: Pain-loving Combat Instructor
Class: Heavy Melee

Appearance: Like this, but with a fresh bloodstain on her face at all times, and using an axe, with the big sword kept scabbarded.  (http://tnypic.net/e48y9.png)

Abilities:

Painkiller: In this form, Marie receives additional power (and sometimes healing) from the pain around her, whether it's from enemies, allies, or even herself. Very useful against/ with hordes, not as useful against solo bosses.

Blade of Suffering: When that sword is drawn, it projects a radius of pain- afflicting the user as well as everyone around. Of course, this is EXCELLENT for Reinhilde!Marie.

Armored: Unlike most of Marie's forms, which tend to have about four hearts worth of health, Reinhilde!Marie can actually take physical punishment, what with her armor and the healing she gets from Painkiller. On the other hand, she's also kinda slow with that armor, although not as slow as you might expect.




A Generic Metal Slime
Type: F-----g Magnetic Spirit
Class: Physical Mauler

Appearance: Liquid metal in the form of an adult female human. Fairly indistinct, aside from detailed face with somewhat glowy eyes.

Abilities:

Intangible: Being made of plain old iron immersed in liquid and held together by magnetic fields makes it REALLY hard to hurt Metal!Marie. Put a hole in her? Irrelevant. Blow her up? So what? There are only two or three things she's really vulnerable to:

Apply enough heat to that fluid and it'll demagnetize, with fairly obvious results. It takes pretty serious Fire damage, but it can be done.

Somewhere in there, there's a rocky, crystalline core that controls all this. Destroy that, and it's instant kill. Of course, finding it is challenging...


Pressure: Despite being liquid, Marie's quite capable of smashing through things via serious pressure. Plus, she doesn't have to stay together, and is thus able to launch ranged attacks as well. And all that liquid is quite heavy. It hurts to get hit by it.



The Nightmare
Type: Anthromorphized Biomechanical War Machine
Class: Mauler

Appearance: Based off it's namesake from Metroid Fusion. A feminine humanoid made of a translucent green slime-like material, covered in servos and half-finished armor plating. Her arms are stretched into flexible tentacles, though they end in normal hands, and her hideous six-eyed face is covered by a blocky mask. A large backpack-like device is bolted to her back, a large crystal attached to it. Wires and pistons pulse through the insides of her body where the armor has gaps. She/it often growls, and speaks through a vocal synthesizer somewhere.
Has a neat transformation sequence. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130290.msg4663251#msg4663251)

Dolly!Marie:

Well, if a shinki doll were human-sized, you'd probably get this. Also alive. Black-haired, brown-eyed, lots of the former and absolutely covered in fancy dress and frills and ribbons and bows and my god. Basically lolita incarnate.  Carries a splitting maul and can do some...interesting stuff.

Specific spells/abilities/techs (and notes about)

Neutralizer: Marie is immune to her own sonic effects, and other people's sonic stuff too, presumably

Soundtrack: Marie can play specific music to provide GENERIC GM-APPROVED BUFFS AND DEBUFFS.

Infrasonic: One thing that Marie can send towards a particular area.  Is a real thing, lower than audible frequency. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmiCMZ9uFiQ)  Has some pretty interesting effects. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound) Low amounts unsettle and confuse, while high decibels will simply shake things and people apart.

Ultrasonic: Higher than human audible range. Hurts like hell. Pretty straightforward. Possibly overlaps with blasting tons of decibels of audible sound as well.

Zone of Exclusion: Marie picks an area and throws enough sound at it to vibrate the surface into incandescent plasma, making it glow and be predictably terrible idea to go through there.

Dissonance Elemental: Manifests up to three swarms of swirling sound and discord. Extremely aggressive, they will attack quickly. They're not that physically dangerous, but they're also hard to deal with, and their noise is quite painful and can easily debilitate the unprepared.

Species: Human
Gender: Female
Appearance: Short, white/purple hair; hazel eyes. Looks about twenty-ish. Fairly normal size, if a bit on the   short side. She's lithe but not particularly muscular. Clothing wise she has (long list):

Black boots, each with two horizontal gray straps (like belts) and a thick...uh...top bit. They go up halfway to the knee or so. On the outside of each leg, attached to the upper strap, a small gray box is wired up to various parts of the boot.
A rather impressive gray duster. Yes, duster, not trench coat. The sleeves seem a bit too long for her, and are thus often rolled up. Amazingly, not only is it worn unbuttoned, it doesn't seem to HAVE any buttons in the first place.
Black fingerless gloves.
Grey cargo shorts.
An ensemble of a white shirt, a black vest adorned with some sort of cog-based symbol on the left vest, and a red necktie.
A black hat that resembles a baseball cap but is flatter in general (probably has its' own name, but I don't know it). Part of the front left is adorned with a set of decorative gears.
Futuristic-looking headphones with a microphone and collapsible radio antenna attachment.
A large black shoulder bag.

Profession: Watchmaker

Personality: She's not really a people person, preferring to focus on her work. That said, she gets along well with other engineers, and to the few people she cares about she can be absolutely wonderful.

Her abdomen (spiderbutt?) is jet black, and the rest of her spider-parts are a soft gray. Her human body is almost normal color, but has a dark tint and a hint of unusual redness to it. On the other hand, her hair is stark white, and her eyes a bloody red. Beware her deadly fangs!

 Princess!Thera (PT) (http://img.ie/fzg3c.jpg) is much more normal sized, her human body looking about 13 years old and adorned in all sorts of finery and whatnot.

Appearance: A somewhat disheveled...okay, VERY disheveled Latino woman. Her hair is jet black, grown long and dirtied, tangled and unkempt. Basically just has the barest minimum of cutting to keep it from becoming a nuisance. At the insistence of Seles, she has cleaned her hair. It now looks decent. Her eyes are dark and dull, never really seeming to look straight at something, simply wandering aimlessly. Her skin is an olive-ish color, albeit also covered in dirt and grime. Her clothes are ragged at best, her shoes worn and a bit too small and her coat seeming to be more patch than original. Despite all this, she walks with a rigid, almost mechanical step. Her face is almost perpetually blank and expressionless. Now she wears a longcoat somehow built of or infused with entropy. It flows constantly from its own wind and gives off light and heat.

The number of knives on her person is outright ridiculous, it's a wonder they got through airport security. Oh wait, they're ceramic. Also, entropy.


Backstory: To be added when it gets revealed.

TL:DR: poor, schizophrenic and probably bipolar, wandered around through various mental institutions ,was like “remove my emotions and shut up the voices' and got Dumah'd

Well, then. (http://i5.minus.com/jb0QHe5aGDA2oV.jpg)

That is not cute at all, especially when it's twenty feet tall.

The towering monster pretending to be a machine is, as one might expect from a Marie form, female, or at least feminine. Cloaked in off-white shrouds, she looks almost like a massive ghost, even with the two wings (with two propellers each) jutting out from high on her back. Her right side looks 'human' enough....

But it looks like just a shell for what's exposed on the left. A pitch black machine, with a red glowing eye and a murderous grin. The gatling cannon right about where her left ear should go is bad enough. The howitzer in her hand is probably a bit worse: it's at least half as long as she is tall. Full-sized, that thing.

Hm. Allow me to explain a new mechanic I have placed in.

Now, attacks are divided into two kinds; physical and magical.

Physical attacks are blocked with (END+(STR/2)+d20).
Magical attacks are blocked with ((END/2)+ MIND + d20).
Just thought I'd let you guys know. More new mechanics coming up soon.

Stats:(You have 2 lots of 25 points to share on your stats, one for normal, one for magic. As always Normal stats/Magic stats, plus a min of 1 point in a stats. There need be no correlation between forms, you can be the mighty glacier in normal form and the frailly speeder in magic form. Note: a point in magic form is much greater then in normal form. While a normal could beat a magic in one area, it would be where a magic is weak in and the normal would probable have to mix max to hell and back to do it.)

Basically, it's base 25 if you have two forms, base 35 if you have one to make up for your lack of second form.
HOWEVER, the penalty is that you're more likely to get tired out in your single form, which I will explain the mechanics of in our first battle.

Richard's met Saber and he came from the LaFOTM. I don't think he'd assume Camelot's fictional. Or that he's, y'know, dead.

Richard's met Saber and he came from the LaFOTM. I don't think he'd assume Camelot's fictional. Or that he's, y'know, dead.

The "(( ))" indicate that that was your first question.

Depends on Rag. However, you'd have to make an exceptionally high MAG roll to succeed, if Rag agrees with it.

Also, I'm tempted to call Richard and Marie's relationship a Relationship Writing Fumble. Seriously. I'm half tempted to switch Richard's default ship. :P

Eh mostly that if you manage to Unbind Demons Run and not have her forced into a power-dampening shell things are going to go very south, very quickly.

Hell, if Elf wanted to model her realistically and not have her actually bound somehow I doubt the stat system could actually model her.

My friend Amy is studying abroad so if we can wait a year I may be able to hire her... or call her up and see if she has time but... she puts a lot of work into it so it could take several months just to finish it once she starts.

Two questions.

1. Does everyone either know how to play Apples to Apples or understand Twi's in-character description?
2. How are we going to do this? Have Elf distribute assorted nouns as hands in PMs and PM someone the nouns, or...what?

Oh, and Cado, if you want to get into Diplomacy this (http://webdiplomacy.net/index.php?) is a pretty good website to check out.

As a note, Cards Against Humanity, if you haven't played it, is basically Apples To Apples but for horrible, horrible people.
And as such much more fitting for bay12.

Also Cado I am so sorry.

And boom. Selina was really just trying to get out for most of her time in there, she didn't know others minds were not as open as hers was. Kyle would know that Selina never intentionally does something harmful to people so he would naturally defend her... plus their both being threatened in some way shape or form.

They can manifest outside for a bit, and they often talk to their hosts and give them advice and or companionship.

That is, if they aren't malevolent. In which case they're more like poltergeists.

Her being the emotionless transfer student and all.

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 08:04:21 pm

[D20:2] Apparently the RNG wants Cyrielle to act like a tsundere, except instead of being cold, she'll just be completely fucking oblivious.

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 08:08:59 pm

[D20:19] Cyrielle finally notices Kyle looking at her. "Is something the matter?"

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 08:13:09 pm

Kyle looks away quickly.

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 08:17:00 pm

Cyrielle shrugs and looks back at Nuriel's coding.

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 08:18:15 pm

Kyle goes back to glancing at Cyrielle.

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 08:21:18 pm

[D20:20] "What is it Kyle? Why are you staring at me? Trying to figure out how to add me to your progressively growing harem~?" Cyrielle grins slightly, obviously joking.

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 08:22:16 pm

"Would there be a problem if I said yes?"

Quote from: GreatWyrmGold on September 01, 2013, 08:25:48 pm

"Sounds like fun."

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 08:26:35 pm

[D20:18] "Well that would obviously depend... for starters it won't stop me from snarking about everyone's overall promiscuity, hypocrisy be damned..." Cyrielle is still watching Nuriel coding, trying to guess what the malignant mass of syntax errors was meant to achieve.

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 08:37:43 pm

Kyle looks thoughtful.
"Two days I believe."

"Sure. I don't mind, after all."

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 10:38:46 pm

Kyle doesn't look convinced.
"Really? Then you wouldn't mind if I kissed you?"

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 10:42:33 pm

"Of course I'd mind!" [D20:20] ((//...)) Cyrielle leans in and kisses Kyle <Because I was planning to do it first!~> Cyrielle slightly smiles in a teasing manner before accepting Ashly's champagne.

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 10:49:26 pm

Kyle looks shocked as Brain.exe restarts.

Quote from: Empiricist on September 01, 2013, 10:52:14 pm

Cyrielle chuckles slightly and shrugs.

Quote from: kj1225 on September 01, 2013, 10:59:17 pm

Kyle recovers and to get back at Cyrielle kisses her.

Selina abruptly cackles madly before stopping, her eyes fully red now. She sits up, and walks out the door, wandering around the place.

Stupid sleep. Angel probably could have helped with this.
Or I could have done some homework. Either or.

"Seriously? It's a pipe. How did she get cut?"

You've watched too many cartoons. Blunt weapons can cause bleeding. But in this case, since you hit Selina on the head, Ray should be glad he didn't crack Selina's skull!

The original characters are known. The newer ones may not be. Cyrielle doesn't intend to have her nature or abilities revealed any time soon. After all, if no one knows that she has such abilities and do not know what her main method of attack is, she'll get a slight advantage.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2: The Revival OOC Thread
Post by: Atnegam on September 05, 2013, 04:01:32 pm

Don't mind me, just throwing my hat in...

Name: Dorian Clovis
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dorian has a very civilized outward appearance to him. His face has sharp features that hint at a noble bloodline as well as somewhat dull blue eyes. His hair is black and combed to the side and is kept to a short length and has a type of sheen to it as if product has been used. His attire is always one of civility and high class. Given that however, he prefers vests over suits and only will wear a jacket over the vest if the occasion calls for it. A common outfit for him would be white shirt with a black vest with brass buttons. Tucked into the vest would be a black tie and on his left wrist a silver watch. He wears black dress pants as well as dress shoes. He normally also wears a pair of rimless glasses but it isn't uncommon for him to just wear contacts either. His outward appearance overall just conveys an overabundance in civility, class, and he seems to be trying to be as "gentlemanly" as possible in short.

Magical Girl(Guy) Costume:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dorian's physical appearance doesn't seem to alter too much in this form. His hair lays down more naturally and atop his head is a simple coronet. His watch changes to a bare silver band with no markings on it and if he was previously wearing glasses, he doesn't wear them anymore. Across his shoulders is a white cloak that partially covers a brigandine he also wears now. Essentially he has traded his standard formal wear for something more regal in nature.

Spoiler'ed because I'm thinking of changing this...

Power: Energy Shaping

Background: Being the son of a wealthy businessman, Dorian always had had things expected of him. He was to be well mannered in public, do what was asked of him, follow a type of chivalry, and in general be a gentleman. He had built his entire life around those aspects and left little room for himself to grow as a person. As a result he seems somewhat stiff in conversations, only reacting in ways that seem would be socially acceptable and in general he is quite passive about things. Given enough prying, he eventually opens up a bit, although results can be.... surprising.

Stats:
Str: 7/7
Mag: 4/6
Dex: 7/5
End: 3/3
Mind: 4/4

Bad character is bad but whatever, fuck it

...I am an idiot then! Learn the game young padawan! ...We have room for one more player if we want a full team of five, any takers for tomorrow at 5pm my time, 7 KJ and Pro's time, or 8pm Dejavu's time.

I doubt I'd be able to play tomorrow.
What's Dota, anyways?

Oh, and I have some homework I really need to do, so I'm likely to not be posting so much tonight. And I'm heading towards home tomorrow, so likely less tomorrow evening and the weekend.

By the way, Dota is a moba released by Valve a while ago.

no, DotA is a mod for Warcraft III that got super popular.

DotAII is a MOBA made by the dudes behind aforementioned mod funded by Valve.

Nice. Does it play more like an RTS where everyone controls one character, or an action RPG with an overhead view? If the former, I'm definitely interested...it sounds kinda like a fantasy TF2 with less hats, more characters, and a rather different viewpoint.

Any character suggestions for a newb with poor reflexes and a worse response to danger? (For reference, on the rare occasions when I played TF2, I was usually Medic. My default response to "Enemies but no friends" was "Run backwards, firing syringe gun and trying to remember which way base is". I also had trouble aiming the Medigun, but that's probably not important. Yeah, there's a reason that's past tense...)

Try ranged DPS. I play support so at worse I can fix you up. And it's free on steam and it has a rather good tutorial so you should figure things out quickly.

Top down view where each team has five players, each controlling a hero. I would suggest Sniper or Dragon Knight to start, and also to play the tutorials.

I like to play mid heroes or carries, though I'm not the best Carry in the world.

I should note that all of Andromalius's beam attacks should count as partial successes if they hit, regardless of how high her roll is. Her weapon is designed to cause catastrophic damage to vital organs, but since it's just a mass of flesh, there's no real organs to damage. That's why she'll try to perforate the blob with barrages of lower intensity beams to induce bloodloss.

Well, in the movie Arthur breaks Excalibur when he defeats Lancelot. So he brought it back to the Lady of the lake to fix and I imagine her only thought was 'How?'.

If Medea sets down an area of increased gravity that immobilizes an enemy, and Catherine transforms above them, wouldn't the water be even more pressurized since it has to counteract the amplified gravity? I'm beginning to think that Catherine's transformation sequence could be, on average, of higher potential power than her actual abilities...

Now that I think of it, I'm going to overhaul summons in general. Bit weird that, at the moment, Persona stats are not independent of the wielder* as they are in the games.

*Meaning that they have stats different from their owner, aka Richard summoning Izanagi (impossible I know) would not make Izanagi weaker, they'd have seperate stats.

That's why Demons Run's end of affairs is so dark. Because @Ragnarok is well, @Ragnarok. I mean, there isn't much that sums it up better than that really.

Andromalius is also darker since I am completely unfamiliar with the genre so I just searched it up briefly and broke it down broadly into the following characteristics:
-Some sort of shadow war
-Supernatural abilities
-Some sort of disguise
Which I then used for Cyrielle/Andromalius's design.

Pretty much. I mean, Cyrielle copes with it by being Cyrielle, Richard copes with it by being pretty adaptable.

I didn't really intend it to come off as unable to differentiate himself from his Personae, rather as a mental conversation when he as himself can't decide.

Anyways, you missed Will. I think.

I prefer using full names, so he's listed as "William Warren" from his SA character sheet.

Put it this way.

Anima has a lot of spare time. And she somehow convinced Nidhoggr that killing things would be much more fun than just sitting there gnawing on the roots of Yggdrasil.


I dunno, same reason some random Black Mage can summon Odin. Or Shiva.

I'll ask what Nidhoggr in the sense you're using it actually is, since we may be confusing each other. What is it?

Considering Anima, possibly just a projection of the REAL Nidhoggr.

She controls an assortment of mythological figures. Some of them are the projections of said figures, some are the figures themselves.

Nidhoggr, Sobek, and Hestia are projections. Abraxas, who I don't think is a figure, and Chiron are the real ones.

Oh good then. The real Nidhoggr is IIRC the size of a galaxy/universe.

The largest he would be is several times smaller than Yggdrasil, which is "only" several times the size of any given world. Assuming that Midgard is mainly Scandanavia and Northern Europe, Nidhoggr wouldn't be more than a couple hundred miles long.

SUMMON REWRITE, BEECH.

Instead of having to rely on their user's stats, they now have their own stats, roughly calculated off their main user's points (50 initial points for stats, +1 per 2 points in Magic if conventional (i.e Anima, Ciro) or 2 points in Mind (if Persona, i.e Kyle, Yuri, Richard)).

Stats used:
STR- Their physical strength.
END- Their ability to take physical damage. (i.e being hit with a car)
MAG- Their ability to hit with magical attacks.
AGI- Their speed, dexterity, and ability to dodge attacks.
WILL- Their ability to take magical/non-physical damage. (i.e being hit with a mindblast takes WILL, but being hit by a telekinetically propelled car takes END.)

HP is calculated by END+STRx2, all stat multipliers and checks apply. They can also have weaknesses pertaining to an element, i.e Abraxas being vulnerable to Light as a Void/Dark-aligned creature, and I'm currently considering applying this weakness to characters. Currently, if the damage is of an element the target is weak to, the damage is increased by x2. Likewise, they can also have resistances (x0.5 damage) and be unaffected (no damage/heals the summon if hit by it).*

*And no, Ciro is NOT invulnerable to anything because that is not good for game balance. She isn't particularly weak to anything except Void, so that's a plus.

tl:dr: Summons have 50 points (+1 for every 2 points on MIND/MAG, depending on the type of summon used) and divide it into 5 different stats roughly corresponding to player stats.

The world is the size of the world, and each world is a fruit on the World Tree. Going by scale there, he's at minimum the size of a galactic arm.

If a tree only has nine fruits, those are going to be some massively big fruits compared to the tree.

And Midgard can't be anything like a galactic scale. It was invented by people who didn't even know of people a mere thousand miles away.

Bismuth: It's a nice codename, but not much of a title . Remember her origin story and how she acted in ICOOC?

Camille: That trope is invoked in-universe, but she's not a magic person.

Stella Watters: Ehh, unwieldy in my opinion.

All the personae and summons now have titles. I'm not entirely satisfied with Apep's title since I wanted to have it allude to how he'll just end up choking on the Pauli Exclusion Principle or Electron Degeneracy Pressure, but I couldn't think of any clever way to do so.

Then let Cyrielle lampshade that.

Or maybe he DID create sentience......and then did a Face Heel Turn (if you can even be a Face having invented intelligence) and shit happened.

I like making adorable characters and its easier to make female adorable characters! ...Which is apparently why Projeck and Twi think i'm adorable... or its because I'm Canadian...

I heard about that murder. It was kinda dumb. It was obviously self-defense, the media overlooked that the "murderer" was half-Hispanic, and they didn't mention the case until weeks afterwards.

Yet another reason America is considered "dumb" by the world and much of itself, I guess.

Spoiler: I did the thing for a new guy (click to show/hide)

Name:  Keith/MoM(Mage of mind)

Gender:  Male/Male
Normal Appearance:  A young man of about fifteen. He has green eyes and dyed purple hair. His hair hangs down to the base of his neck growing to a darker shade of purple as it goes. He has the body of a swimmer due to being one of the star players of the highschool swim team. He is of average height. He has bags under his eyes and looks like he is always asleep which isn't helped by his habit of looking down at all times. His toenails are painted pearl white.
Magic appearance:  He looks basically the same except for his clothes changing. His clothes change to robes that have a mint green circle with three tentacle like protrusions that curve in a way that looks like a srunched up scythe on the middle of the front. The robes are a slightly darker green with stitches that are even darker but still on the lighter side. It has a hood that covers his head in a way that would remind one of an ancient scholar.

Power:  Breaks others minds down to their core and rebuilds them to do his next order in the matter of a millisecond.

Background:  Keith is totally unaware of his magic ability past the fact that he could always make others do what he wanted with a little persuasion and ,of course, lying. He remembers however at some point something happened and he blacked out before waking up wearing his magic suit. He ran home and changed back into normal clothes and never thought anything of it besides the fact he noticed more about what others were probably going to do after little observation.

Normal HP:  230
Magic HP:  65

Stats:
Str:  30 / 10
Mag:  1/ 30
Dex: 7/7
End:  10/1
Mind:  12/12

Spoiler: Kate the Lolita (click to show/hide)

 Name:   Kate/ Retrieval technician Katherine
Gender:  Female
Age:  25
Appearance:  Kate has rainbow hair (dyed that way) and metallic grey eyes (naturally that way due to events that cause her current form).  She looks to be about fourteen (14) years old and has for reasons unknown (DARPA is currently being blamed mostly as a joke but...) an arm that houses a fully functional rocket launcher. To use this she needs to morph it to a more suitable form. One with a hole in it. She is an albino. Investigation realevled that this was natural.

Pirate form:  Wearing lots of jewelry, (three earrings, five necklaces, ten rings, four bracelets, and a jeweled eyepatch)  a hat that is quite nice, and clothes that wouldn’t look out of place in a certain Disney movie series about pirates Kate terrorizes... the office. This is why she’s getting transferred to the castle. She’s disrupting the workflow with her cute but annoying antics.

Guro:  Kate looks as if she died of three stab wounds (arteries on the legs and on on the neck), a gun shot wound (left bicep), two self inflicted cuts (wrists), and blunt force trauma to her head. The wounds excepting the cuts on her wrists are dressed (poorly) with bits from the white and blue dress she is wearing. (consensus agrees it brings thoughts of Alice in Wonderland)

Ero:  Kate ages up to wear an elegant gown made of the finest materials. The neckline is lower than it has any right to be and further attention is attracted by her somewhat bountiful bosom by the silver necklace around her neck. Her dress is primarily pink and maroon. The skirts especially are pink with the corset making up the upper portion of her dress being maroon. She wears thigh high stockings attached with a garter belt. Her skirts are somewhat higher than is proper occasionally allowing sight of what lies above her stockings. All in all, she looks damned attractive.
Quirks:  Vain, likes to drink especially around people who don’t know about the fact that she is older than she looks. When she dresses in Ero Loli she actually ages up to look like she should.
Stats: (60 points if dual form, 75 if single)*
STR- 8
END-  8
DEX-  12
MAG-  16
MIND-  16
Power:  Powers based on the type of Lolita she is wearing. Her favorite for wandering around is pirate while she uses Guro lolita for actual fighting. She does have a small (lolita fashion is really expensive so you can’t blame her) wardrobe of regular lolita fashion as well.
Example abilities (Pirate form) Battle cry:  Moderate act, provides a plus five to a random stat of three random allies. If less than three are present the remaining buffs are distributed randomly.

Grog soaked blade: Moderate act, Soaks her sword in grog giving it an acidic poison that only works against organics.

Bombard:  Major act, causes an unseen ship to bombard an area with cannon fire for four turns.


Guro:  Mutilate:  minor act, Kate mutilates someone on her team healing them 10 HP and causing the enemies to take a minus one to a random skill.

Cannibilze: moderate act  Kate rips a chunk off some poor mook and eats it for five HP of damage to the mook and healing to Kate. also provides a minus five buff to targets END.

Meet the Meat:  Major act, Kate launches a fleshy... thing at an enemy. It is instantly warped into a monster made of flesh and provides a minus five to all stats to everyone that can see it excluding Kate.

Magic appearance:  He looks basically the same except for his clothes changing. His clothes change to robes that have a mint green circle with three tentacle like protrusions that curve in a way that looks like a srunched up scythe. The robes are a slightly darker green with stitches that are even darker but still on the lighter side. It has a hood that covers his head in a way that would remind one of an ancient scholar.

Power:  Minor ability to tell what others are planning and suggestion abilities.

Background:  Keith is totally unaware of his magic ability past the fact that he could always make others do what he wanted with a little persuasion and ,of course, lying. He remembers however at some point something happened and he blacked out before waking up wearing his magic suit. He ran home and changed back into normal clothes and never thought anything of it besides the fact he noticed more about what others were probably going to do after little observation.

Str:  5/4

Btw, I'll give you a hint: It's not rolling it's attacks, those values are constant whenever I figure them out. :P

It does roll defense, though.

Okay, rather than clutter up the IC thread further, I'm going to ask for an in-depth explanation of how multipliers work, because as I understand it Nuriel's would be at -8.9 or so after her attack.

Post by: Empiricist on November 23, 2013, 06:32:46 pm

Just to clarify, its attacks use constant values whilst its defense is calculated the same way PC attacks are?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Twi on November 23, 2013, 06:34:17 pm

More or less. Once you get some damage in, that defense will start decaying, too. Sort of ablative.

But no, it doesn't decay normally. Hard to abuse the rules on me when I don't know them, Emp. :P

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Empiricist on November 23, 2013, 06:39:01 pm

Damn! :P

And that is why only attacks cause decay, because otherwise we'd have two different decay systems for offense and defense, or end up in a case being aggressively poked too much could weaken people until they can no longer fight.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING

The 'correct' way is to get some big attacks to break down its defenses. You've seen how much it cares about little attacks at the moment.

For the meantime, though, I'm going with the current system for summons. Christ.

(ENDx5)+(STRx2), I believe, is the stat equation you're looking for.

Especially not when a "bad boy" or someone "playing hard-to-get" is involved. Heck, Darnos is practically a sociopathic non-brain-damaged Edward in need of a Bella.

On other news, summon HP is now calculated by the same way as character HP.

Character HP is ((ENDx5)+(STRx2)x7)) to cope with the *7 multiplier on everything. Damage is calculated by d20 + (enemy STR/2 rounded down) or (enemy MAG/2 rounded down).

So what would a persuasion check entail? And since one of Keith's powers is magical persuasion would he get to add a magic roll to it as well?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: kj1225 on November 24, 2013, 07:18:28 pm

Or would persuasion rolls not matter for anyone except Keith since his magic depends on that and telling what others will do?

I'm now curious about what would happen if I got all the characters into Trickster mode just for fun. And I'm thinking of if a staff the has a cross on one side and the cancer symbol on the other with the former glowing and the latter dripping blood of various colors is a bit to much.

Trickster mode though. It's would be great fun.
And also I did think of a great name for the staff before I put up the idea. Call it something like REDEMPTION or WRATH OF THE LAMBS. Because it's based off Jesus and Troll Jesus.

I like the characters being able to head back and forth if they need to. Especially since some of the characters have strong ties to the Academy's universe. Selina, for instance, would be pretty much screwed if the portals permaclosed...

Incorrect. Selina's fixation on TA!Angel is magical and possibly physiological. Her fixation on MG!Angel is only psychological. She has no real reason to, it only occurs due to issues with differentiating the two. I mean really, we could just equip Angel with some sort of obvious hair ornament and give Selina something that generates a sensation when MG!Angel communicates to her or some other way to differentiate the two.

Hence I am suggesting we use something that causes physical sensations when she sees MG!Angel, something to without a doubt, differentiate her. Because reopening the portals WILL NOT work, as @Elf stated, going through will knock them unconscious for an extended period of time.

I can't see that helping. If something as simple as invoking new sensations when they look at the vampire did it, it would work for TAverse addictions, too.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Empiricist on November 29, 2013, 08:50:11 pm

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on November 29, 2013, 08:51:34 pm

You'd think that "I only see one of them" would work.

And, again, if that was enough to make the addiction not recognize the vampire, why doesn't that work in the TAverse? It's not like Selina's addiction was a lot weaker on MA!Angel.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on November 29, 2013, 09:34:06 pm

How? I dunno. But from Cado's phrasings of these PMs, I don't see anything suggesting that her addiction to TAngel is somehow separate from that to her own Angel.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING

Except the argument made which the quote stated was 'dead on' was that the two are in fact separate. One is physiological, one is psychological.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on November 29, 2013, 09:37:08 pm

And what makes you think this psychological conditioning is a separate thing from whatever causes the addiction? Did the addiction coincidentally happen at the same time as the psychological conditioning? I don't get what you're saying.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Empiricist on November 29, 2013, 09:40:16 pm

No, I am stating the following:
-Selina is incurably addicted to TA!Angel
-Selina has trouble differentiating MG!Angel from TA!Angel
-Hence, she thinks that MG!Angel also provides relief from the symptoms
-That incorrect belief essentially has conditioned her.

Therefore:
-Selina is addicted to TA!Angel (think Darnos to TA!Angel)
-Selina is conditioned to MG!Angel (think Victoria to TA!Selina)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on November 29, 2013, 09:43:40 pm

The way Cado described it, it sounded like her addiction to each Angel was the same thing. And it's not like she can't tell the difference between the two--again, TAngel has a tail, fangs, and so forth.

What you are describing is basically the nocebo* effect. However, this requires knowledge of what the vampire venom would do, which Selina did not gain until after she started displaying symptoms--towards MG!Angel!

*Basically, placebo, but for things that hurt people.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: RangerCado on November 29, 2013, 09:46:41 pm

Besides the fangs and tail, TAngel is almost exactly the same as MG!Angel in looks and personality. Break that somehow, and Selina will no longer be attracted to MG!Angel.

Whilst it is possible that in that length of time, Kyle could have rolled the required DC, it is also entirely possible for him to fail catastrophically. Additionally, no amount of time would make a program that's very language restricts logic structures to infinite loops and has an entire decade's worth of music any more efficient. As for the void information, Kyle would either have been given all the necessary information, thus giving him plenty of knowledge of the void, possibly more than even Ashley, or, he would have had to have rolled a 100. Whilst it is only a matter of time given how long he had, he could have equally likely rolled a 1 first which would have presumably broken the laptop.

No they cannot. AI can't do that. AI are still very much confined to their hardware, because at the end of the day, they're still software at the mercy of hardware. Kyle's suit OS was programmed specifically for his armor.

The closest things to AI in this setting are Anne and Wheatley who aren't remotely related to them in origin, they're more like beings that interact with the world through distortions and programs that contain a specific function.

That's assuming Kyle has any idea how to code them. Assuming of course they can even be coded. After all, coding involves making instructions that are then translated into machine code that gives orders to the hardware, it is highly unlikely to do that on a simple laptop, especially considering that the code in question is based entirely on infinite loops.

Also two more things.
Will the power-armor break if it's dropped in a totally awesome manner involving a helicopter and parachutes?

And can temporal event rope (I haven't thought of a better name for rope that only shows up when needed) be used as a weapon?

She helped with the pseudo-code, Kyle did most of the actual coding since he knew the language. Plus she would rather not be associated with magic considering how amoral her magical form is.

.....Persona? :P

Would it be possible for her to falsify everything needed to secure a school place for Annie and Wheatley? Richard's got some friends here who can take care of it, but not so much Annie and Wheatley.

Well, she's a programmer, not a hacker, so no. But Annie and Wheatley could just access copies of their programs on other computers to get required information and use that to boost their marks to such a standard where they could get scholarships. Hell, if Cyrielle sent her programs to them in her scholarship application first, they could just access the university's computer systems via those and add themselves.

Meme is getting ready for school having gotten into the same grad class as Angel because shes still pretty smart even if she can't age.

Selina is freaking out about school starting because of bullying and apparent fame, as well as her general freaking out about trying to keep Maria, Yuri, Nuriel, and Demons Run all happy...

When she activates the power, a Die appears infront of each person participating in the battle. They have to roll the die or not attack. A roll of 1 is a critical fail and causes the attack to backfire, a roll of 2-7 is bad and weakens the attack by the number rolled with 2 being the most weakening, a roll of 8-12 a neutral and have no effect, a roll of 13-19 is good and strengthens teh attack with 19 being the most empowering, and a roll of 20 is a critical success and amplifies the attack causing a critical hit and a random effect. Yomiko can also influence the roll either by giving the opponent a -2 or giving an ally a +2. She can influence anything by stating what she is affecting. For instance, If yomiko says 'let's dance', the roll will determine if the participants begin to dance. If Yomiko says don't 'forget to breath', the roll determines the chance of suffocation or being able to breath. the power is a major ability and uses 100 mana per action.

Paint Other - Forces the target onto a solid surface. They are stuck in this form until released or sufficient magic is used to free them.
(uses 50% of paint gauge or 125 mana)

Portrait - Turns the target into a portrait. Each portrait takes on the targets affinity, and can only be freed by a person of the opposite or the same affinity. (uses 25% of paint gauge or 62 mana)

Turpentine - Destroys a painting to regain health. Can only affect his own painted minions. This regains 1/10 of his health.
(recovers 5% of paint gauge or 10 mana)

Replenish- Recovers 50% of paint gauge or 125 mana. Causes him to take twice as much damage from attacks during the casting. (doubt this will be allowed)

Affinity:
Due to his nature he doesn't have the standard affinities, being able to switch between them. When down to 1/5 of his health, he switches to an unknown affinity that reduces magical damage by 3/4 and physical damage by 1/2. He becomes highly susceptible to his own affinity.

Weakness: When down to 1/5 his hp his staff will release paint orbs that grant the user a single spell of his staff based off the color of the orb. These orbs contain the affinity of his staff.

Starfield: Portrait- Used to finish the fight, trapping him in his own Portrait. He is subject to freeing himself, however this deplets his magic and returns him to his world until his magic recharges.

Tactics:

During the start of combat he will taunt his opponents while painting minions onto nearby flat surfaces. If any opponent catches his eye, he will paint them onto a surface unless they have a quirk of beauty to them, in which case he will turn them into a portrait and begin to use them as a shield or decide to flee with them, leaving more minions to distract the opponents.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on December 07, 2013, 06:37:10 pm

What, making the same character over and over?

Three considerations.

1. I don't reuse the whole character, just some of the details--young age, female, the name, etc. Most of the rest is customized to fit the game.
2. What makes games fun is what goes on around them, not the character itself. That's why crossovers are interesting--you see the characters you know and love acting in different circumstances than usual.
3. You do it, in a different way. How many of your characters are inhuman (or inhuman-like) and/or nigh-omnicidal?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING

Darnos isn't omnicidal in the least, though yeah Xan wasn't far from the template until he became an immortal flesh horror that pities the immutables.

Darnos is amoral, Xan just has some sort of incomprehensible moral system that would drive Lovecroft insane.

---

I prefer adopting the same option as @Xantalos, though I will reuse characters with heavy modifications if either they were never in the RP they were designed for, or did little to no RP (currently, only Silica meets that second case, since the entirety of her Perplexicon RP consisted of her being oblivious to all the murder that happened around her and communicating in ways that did not entail murder or !!SCIENCE!!).

Oh yeah, before I forget/go to sleep, has the parents day arc in TA ended yet? Because I was waiting for that before getting back in with a character that is literally a Mary Sue. But you know, he literally hated the Mary Sue life style so much that he removed every bit of magic generated by Sue's in his solar system and ended up wiping out all the other Sue's as well as being brought down to normal.

Post by: ragnarok97071 on December 09, 2013, 12:56:12 am

Now, this may still happen because I'm going to have her try to adopt Selina as her 'older sister' since Marie no longer is a thing maybe and Tori is... off somewhere I guess. But I'll still post my general outline I had for it here. Basically, her transformation scene thing.

Spoiler: Blossom (click to show/hide)

Blossom gazes upward, eyes focusing resolutely on the attacker. Her lips move, words seeming to echo in stillness, ominous and somehow heavy, spoken in a dry, almost bored manner, as if the present danger did not affect her in the least. "RRHA RRHA RRHA KI ERx KI ERx RA KI RA CHS CHS ERx CEx RA DEx VIEx GLE GA MEA JENx GE CET MEA MEA EXEC BALDUO RUINIE 3x1/0>>1202200012201211010011221." From the core of her being, a strange azure light begins to issue, culminating in a quiet radiance enveloping her form. "Spiritual programming shift to 'Veiled Havoc' mode, complete." Chains explode from her form, ends anchored to every type of blade imaginable. Each of these sprout from her back, their chains swaying and flowing slightly as if in a breeze that is not there and floating in the surrounding space, strange runes etched in their surface. Her clothes appear not to have changed at all, odd for changing to a magical form, though given her spiritual nature it's likely that she simply chose not to change them.

Want me to just have her randomly appear like "Hiiiii~ <3"?

also, le sheet:

Name: Veiled Havoc and Blossom Princess
Gender: Female (mostly)
Age: less than a year.
Stats: (25 points if dual form, 35 if single)*
STR- 5
END- 4
DEX- 5
MAG- 7
MIND-4
Power: Can create weapons. This is not limited to simple projections, but can also copy the abilities of said weapons as well, as well as synthesizing new weapons from combinations of known powers. Comes into play with a pre-imprint of Excalibur due to proximity during gestation.

stats are the same in both forms as it's not so much a form change as a pre-imprinted combat personality. If this would technically be the same form, then stats are:

STR- 7
END- 6
DEX- 7
MAG- 9
MIND-6

Oh by the way, I'm considering quitting or at least partially quitting TA. So it's really a matter of what @RangerCado decides to do since  won't quit if he still intends to play as Selina since having Victoria suddenly stop moving would screw her over a bit.

With mine it works out nicely since I can level all of Darnos' stats once I bring him out of torture loop due to him being inventive in torture. Once all of them get above the 100 mark I'll just have him leave the Academy since his stated goal was to get back to his previous level of magical proficiency and that's what he did. Maybe have him learn soul swapping before he goes, but apart from that what limited character development he has is basically done.

Dragon Knight is charging straight at him, putting him in range of all of Morde's spells. Spell vamp heals him for every spell he lands, and lifesteal for every AA, plus his shields.

Yeah, Ashley's katana is rather dangerous for anyone with low MIND or people who roll really low.

We don't so much have to patch multipliers as much as we need to patch player character intelligence.

The only reason why Ashley has the fatigue katana is so she can not be completely overpowered by having an actual harmful blade/gun. Because, let's face it, a teleporter with a lethal weapon is ridiculous.

We could remove them, but then single form characters would become more powerful and stat points would have a significantly lesser effect.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: kj1225 on December 21, 2013, 12:15:11 am

What if only magic forms got the multiplier? Then that would match the fact that they should be more powerful than an average person. (And most single form people have something to bump them on par with dual forms so not that bad of a trade off.)

But I still think we should all be able to pick up a weapon of choice if we want. Like Kyle with a 2x3dent due to his time with mermaids.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING

There wasn't any restriction on that, I don't think. I mean, Ashley's had her dual debuffing katanas and Cyrielle's had the ability to conjure weapons from the start.

Cyrielle could consolidate some distortions into one, but it won't really be any more practical than a normal, impracticable double ended trident aside from not breaking under any physical force and possessing supernatural sharpness at the cost of being vulnerable to antimagic.

Post by: Empiricist on December 21, 2013, 12:56:20 am

So, a zweihander with a slot for a sledgehammer? Cyrielle could consolidate the zweihander and leave a slot for the hammer, but distortions aren't good for anything heavy.

Name: Qi
Gender: None
Age: 2687 years old

Appearance: Qi is approximately six feet tall and composed of multiple pieces of lacquered wood cunningly pieced together. Despite being slim and elegant, its body is quite tough and durable. Its head is an elongated tear-drop shape, and Qi's eyes, nose and mouth are painted on with a few deft brushstrokes.

Power: Life energy. Qi can manipulate the mystical energies given off by all living things. Mostly it uses its power to treat diseases, close wounds and regrow limbs, but Qi can also use it offensively if needed, and can inflict heart attacks, paralysis and similar things (though it's rarely that effective).

Qi uses its powers to see and communicate with people. Functionally it means that Qi can see in any light level and talk in a vaccum.

Name: Ester Stigsson
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Appearance (Normal): Ester is a slim girl, with medium, blonde hair done up in a simple ponytail with a red ribbon. She has grey eyes, and large, wire-rimmed glasses. She is also rarely seen without carrying around a camera of some kind.

Appearance (Magical): Physically, Ester doesn't appear to change when she enters her magical form. Her magical outfit consists of a short black dress, with white lace criss-crossing across the front of the dress to pull it tightly against her figure before being tied in a big bow around her back. Her glasses transform into goggles with smoky lens, and leather arm and leg guards appear to protect her. The overall effect makes it look like she is playing some kind of odd sport. In her magical form she wields a giant halberd made of dark metal.

Powers: She can manipulate light, mostly using it for her photography, though she can also use it as a weapon, or to create illusions and similar things.

Age: ?

Appearance: Neferis is a petite woman, though a little plump and wide at the hips. Her skin is a light brown colour, like clay. The whites of her eyes and her iris are rather obviously painted on. She has black hair done up in ringlets, with a circlet made of yellow, long beads. She wears only a simple whitish tunic, with more beads sewn into the fabric to add some decoration and to show off her figure. She also lacks footwear of any kind or description.

Power: As a wall spirit Neferis can walk into/occupy any wall made of clay, minerals or stone, and jump out at any point along them. She also weighs a couple tons, which isn't really a power, per say.

Spoiler: Lunette (click to show/hide)

Name: Lunette
Gender: Female
Age: 119
Exp: 100

Appearance (Normal): Lunette looks like a prepubescent girl, around 11 or 12, and is tall and slim for her apparent age. She has pointed ears and a heart-shaped face. Her eyes are bright blue and usually have a wide-eyed look of curiosity. Her blonde hair is long and hangs loosely down her back. Lunette usually wears a light green dress, with dark green leggings, leather boots that reach just below the knee, and a light blue half-cloak. Sometimes she carries around a satchel stuffed full of equipment for conducting rituals.

Appearance (Magical): After focusing her magical energies into her protective wards, she becomes clad in white plate mail, sized to fit her. The armour is mostly for show, for several layers of mostly invisible magical shields protect and strengthen her. As such Lunette's magical form has no helmet, allowing her hair (now shimmering red from the mystical energies) to flow freely and her vision to be unrestricted. Her irises also glow a dull yellow, as her enchantments sharpen her vision and protect her eyes. For weapons her magical form creates a curved blade that she wields one-handed, and her gauntlets can also blast out lead bullets with deadly force.

Power: Magical Ritualist. Lunette is a skilled ritualist and enchanter. But as a child her magical powers are weak so she needs more time than others when enchanting or conducting a ritual.

Since she is still a child and can't cast magic in a fight, Lunette has enchanted her clothing with powerful wards and weaponry to protect herself from danger. Since she needs to focus and channel her meagre energies to activate the enchantments, it counts as a second form.

Spoiler: 'Rose' (click to show/hide)

Name: Rozaliya Maksimov. Usually abbreviated to Rose.
Gender: Female
Age: 18
XP: 110

Appearance: Tall, with long. black hair that reaches down to her waist. Has an oval-shaped face and bright blue eyes. Her skin is extremely pale, with black runes  and markings all along her body. The runes are densest at her feet, and slowly thin out on the upper parts of her body before petering out around her neck. As long as Rose wears gloves and long-sleeved shirts with a high neckline, she looks perfectly normal.

Power: Song. Rose's voice is strangely melodic and entrancing, as well as being completely magical. All who hear her sing feel their spirits buoyed and energized, for her songs have the power to affect souls. In combat she can use her voice to buff her allies and distract enemies with the sweetness of her music. While she can't actually harm anyone with her powers, she can try to enthrall them with her melodies to stun them or make them follow her unquestionably.

Rose also knows some basics of magic, but not enough to actually do anything impressive with it. If given enough time and preparation she could create a small fireball or two.

Before I go to sleep here's an idea for the next plot. We have GWG and Elf work on it together with Emp pointing out ways players can subvert challenges and then decide if that's a good thing or if they have to change it to something more interesting. And to throw out some plot ideas here's some random things that could be used.
Terrorists
Aliens (already been used but it's still a classic)
Eldritch horrors

I'm nixing eldritch horrors because that's overused. Nuclear wasteland's also nixed.

I have a feeling that something more covert would be better. Individual enemy units with their own objectives and the players must intercept them. That lessens the variables in play significantly as in all out warfare, all characters must be considered rather than just the ones that can arrive on time. Furthermore, this allows characters to demonstrate their methods of operating with little intervention from other players. I suspect in such cases, Nuriel would be prone to acceptable collateral damage, Ghost wou non-lethal, Albrecht more covert and Andromalius to be brutal and lethal. Furthermore, we have an abundance of conspiracies and whatnot so false flags could be in play.

Terrorists
Aliens
Creepy pasta battle royal
and finally there's Black ops type stuff.

Also, what rolls am I going to have to use for making a laser rifle?

To be fair mostly those two use things where aiming isn't really a problem.

that is, rifting for Ashley and DR mostly just saturating a huge area with doom.

It's been occurring to me that Will's power is getting shades of Contessa. I justify this to myself by reminding myself that Tattletale's team wasn't composed of Eidolon, Crawler, Sleeper, and Scion.

...Although a team (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FiveManBand) of those would be awesome.
_{The Hero: Scion
The Lancer: Eidolon
The Smart Guy: Tattletale
The Big Guy: Crawler

1. I spoilered it for a reason.

Why do you think Scion dropped the bombshell? Because he realized that Eidolon posed a threat. Occam's Razor, plus the text made it pretty clear that Scion was losing, bit by bit.

Quick question, Elf. How would Will using his power in combat work? E.g, predicting the movements of his enemy to make sure he hit where he intends, predicting attacks so he can dodge them, stuff like that.

Personally, I am not. But that's mainly because I dislike any crossovers and alternate world plots, actually, I designed Cyrielle so that it would be difficult to get her into any plot with those parameters.

I am unsure about the other players.

Being completely new to this game, I can't really say. Personally I think that the plothook was not very engaging. Alternate Kyle (or whoever that was. Still learning names here) just showed up and talked about the alternate dimension without offering good reasons why the evil people in it had to be stopped. The group had no real reason to get involved or care about the new plot.

Will's definitely in. He's fascinated by this new world, and one of his defining characteristics (along with hubris and snark) is curiosity.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Empiricist on December 29, 2013, 10:47:30 pm

I have the right to leave this game do I not? If I cannot do so temporarily, I shall do so permanently. For Cyrielle, IC and OOC are more amalgamated than kept separate.

I prefer having plots be contained within their contextual setting without dragging in other settings that other players happen to like. Doing so undermines the entire point of the setting does it not? You're no longer using the setting if you must start implementing additional universes and it just starts going from original work to pseudo-fanfiction. Furthermore, the details them selves get muddled, such as with Demons Run's properties causing issues as soon as other realities becoming involved. This also applies to Cyrielle's contracting entity, though to a lesser degree as it is on the opposite end of the timeline. Whilst such things are tolerable to an extent when they are with other original pieces of work in a coordinated manner rather than merely taking ideas this does not seem to be the case here. An additional issue is that my characters were never designed for crossovers. They were designed to work within the setting rather than to interact with elements outside of it.

But I digress for now; you may deliver flawless rebuttals to all my arguments, but my opinion is still my opinion is it not?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Twi on December 29, 2013, 10:51:43 pm

That was the longest way to say 'crossovers create confusion and are annoying' I have ever seen. :I

I'm not opposed to having elements of other 'worlds' interact with us, mind, so long as we define them and make sure we know what they do and such without going into MASSIVE CROSSOVER LAND. The alien is still a wonderful source of conflict, as I like to think Emp might say. :P

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on December 30, 2013, 02:31:56 am

I'm considering shutting down all crossovers. Pretty much only SMT gets away by dint of Scap using SMT in the game before I took over, and I'll shut it down if I smell canon characters in it.

Apart from that, only vanilla RotMG would be allowed.

Because we need someone to make a plot that exists in the same universe as our magic girls and is important (Actually can't be subverted through mundane means) enough that we actually need to step in. So maybe an apocalypse or terrorist organization that we need to work alone or in pairs to beat so as to keep it interesting and develop the characters more.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING

Not necessarily that important or fantastical. An event that is of some significance and can be resolved through entirely mundane means can still be used if the characters get caught up in.

Not necessarily. Mundane combat is rather unlikely to have any longevity, but what if they had to find the target first and then who was backing them? Add in some false flagging to make matters more complicated.

Portal invasion:  Portals start popping up that spit out monsters. Maybe some evil overlord type reigns over them?

Post by: ragnarok97071 on December 31, 2013, 07:38:30 am

Hm... I have an idea.

The basic nature:

Soon after the Layar war, several magic girls struck out on their own, attempting to gather power and carve out a nation for themselves. They were dispersed, scattered attempts, nothing unified, and were countered by the attendant governments and local magic girls without much incident. Though these incidents were minor, the effect they had on public opinion was far from it.

These events, coupled with a natural fear of the unknown and unfamiliar, have caused many non-powered individuals to begin to call for regulation, if not elimination, of those with magic. Some countries that have been hit harder by recent events have already begun to put such measures in place, including Australia in reaction to the sheer collateral damage caused by the magical beings involved in the Layar War's opening blows.

The group gets caught up in these events, perhaps in reaction to the laws beginning to be put into place, perhaps by coming into contact with a group espousing a more... radical method for the regulation of magic.

Any feedback?

Now, you may be thinking, 'but KJ Kyle just got blasted basically point blank with an artillery shell, magic or not that should at least hurt some what' to which I say, 'hey, anyone that you control in persona 3 should be dead by blasting themselves point blank with a gun whether it is using blanks or not'.

Depends. For the TV one, that'd be correct. Which is what he has. The kind that manifested in the Dark Hour incident used the Evokers. Either method works, I guess, but the cards would technically be what's correct for Kyle, likely, and it'll be what Yuri uses if it goes through.

So I found a fanfiction generator so I made Richard write a story at gun point.

Spoiler: This is probably the greatest thing (click to show/hide)

 
 
Once apon a time...
 


Summary:
I suck at writing summaries. Bsides the 'fic isn't that long!

Kyle Johnson was sitting behind his tv. He felt the tears well up in his eyes like a damb bursting. After their last adventure, Kyle Johnson found out just exactly how cruel people could be. How nasty and judging real humans actually were. Kyle Johnson stared at a picture of a tiger. A magnificent beast who would not hesitate to kill him ripping him limb from limb, but at least it would be quick. Not a overlong conspiracy of many years, just to be unleashed on him when he was at his weakest and darkest moment. When he needed his friends the most.

But there had been one lone ray of light in this whole ordeal. Kyle Johnson remembered fondly the day he discovered it. It was a tuesday morning he rememberanced. The memories surfaced before his mind's eye and took the most wonderful shapes. Before Kyle Johnson well knew it, a single tear welled up in his eyes and trickled down his cheek.
Because even when all his 'friends' betrayed him, there was one consistant factor in his life: Grandiose.

And Kyle Johnson knew that the rising aspirations between them could never become true, the feelings Kyle Johnson had for Grandiose were the only thing in this world that still felt true to him. No lies, just that single, deep sense and need for Grandiose.Their relationship would probably only ever be physical.

Alas, Kyle Johnson thought to himself hopelessly. Why must they battle? Why must Kyle Johnson be destined to annihilate Grandiose? Can he ever tell Grandiose how much Grandiose means to Kyle Johnson?

If only he could. Then all his pain would be over. No more betrayal. No more suffering under the laughter from Conny (who told him she loved him, only to stab him right inti the heart at valentines day!). No, only Grandiose and Kyle Johnson's true feelings for him.

A/N Lol this has all been so depressive lol! My next bit will be less dark!

A/N I got bord of writing the fanfic as it was so I decided to change things around. I hope u guys like it!!

She was as of yet the most radient creature in the whole wide world, Kyle Johnson believed her to be. As she faigjt the great evil Grandiose, her raspberry ripples bobbed up and down consistantly like someone making love in a car. She swipped sexlyat the Grandiose and was more than anything Kyle Johnson had seen before. Her beatiful feistful pressure shocked Grandiose's henchmen into copulating before her.

Sekaquaptéwa, take my sword! said Kyle Johnson, and give it to the greatness before us. She will need our legendary sword in order to defeat the great fearsomeGrandiose

And lo! Sekaquaptéwa did so and the maginificent great mysterious woman took the sword and stabbed Grandiose.

He was defeated. But was Grandiose? Because as Kyle Johnson ran towards the mysterious strange beauty of His draems and was about to share the greatest kiss He(and more) had ever given to someomne in the history of mankind, Grandiose rose up and fled!
And this is where the story ends...

It has come... to my attention... that "some" readers... don't like my art. They say that it's...it's all badly written and racist (I had a black classmate in my class once and he was really stupid lol) horrible violent (this is MATURE, DID"T U READ THE DISCLAIMER?!)and anatomicly impossible (whu cares?! It's FANTASY). That hurts me a lot. Really... a lot.
Do u know how long it takes me to write my stories? Do u think I like it being stuck at home with nothing to do but writing my soul into my art? My dog just died and people said harry potter sucked!

Writing is the only thing that makes me happy, but if that isn't good enough for u people, then I'm going to call it quits!
Yes, that's righr! I won't finish this story! You forced me into this HAPPY NOW?!!!!

I want to thank SexySnape34 and Sweetycorn for beta reading, but I... I... I... just can't take it anymore.

Goodbye crawl internet. I WON"T MISS U!!

To offset the sadness of canon Kyle I have made a fanfiction from the point of view of Richard if he was a stereotypical fanfiction writer and Kyle was his favorite character in his favorite book series.

Spoiler: I love fanfiction (click to show/hide)

 
 
Once apon a time...
 

Once upon a time, after my great adventures, I was wondering what to do that week. I had picked up my life from where I left it and wanted to make something from it.He wanted to make my father proud. Then all the sudden a strange woman appeared on my doorstep. She was hiden beneath a long cloak and had long brown nails on her fingers. Her dirty hair fluished down from beneath the cloak and she had glowing eyes! I thought I remembered seeing her in my dreams the past couple of weeks, almost as if it was a premonition
"You are not who you think you are!" said the strange woman.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"You are not who you think you are," she said again with a mysterious crackling voice like a bad radio transmission.
"I still don't understand you?" I said.
"Here, take this," she said and gave I an rolled up paper.
"Take this and give it to your parents or guardian, they will know what to do with it!"
And with that she disappeared before my eyes!

I was confused but thought that I had to do something. But rather than going to my parents or guardian, I decided to show it to HK-47.
"Oh no," said HK-47, "you must forget about this!"
"Why?" I enquired,  "what do you know?!"
"I... I can't tell you. My dear Kyle Johnson, I didn't think it would be this soon!"
"What?!" I yelled, "are you keeping things away from me?!"
"It's .... it's for your own good! You cannot know this!" said HK-47 and before I could do anything, HK-47 had escaped my grasp.
"No! Dammit! When will I ever know the truth?!"
I was feeling depressed. One of my best friends abandoned and betrayed me. It hurt.I cut himself to make the pain go away, but it only helped a bit. So I wanted to find Conny. After their adventure, I and Conny had been spending a lot of time together. I kind of started to like her.
So I went to Conny and told the whole story. She listened to me without saying a single word.
Then she said: "WTFOMMGBBQ, this is,like, serious!!!"
And I said: I know! Do you know a way to find out what is happening? Why is everyone hiding things from me?!"
Conny sighed and said: "You have always been special, I and not just to me."
"How do you know that?"
Conny looked at the Star Of David that I had received and said: "it kind of looks like the Magic staff, doesn't it?"
"When I squint my eyes, my god you're right!"
"Whatever it is, I can recognise it quite well. And I think," Conny said, "that perhaps the mysterious woman wanted you to find something inside of you.
"Inside? Like my heart?"
"No, don't be silly, like a mamory. Think about it, if your parents lied to you and now HK-47 doesn't want to talk to you about your background, perhaps there is a hidden memory in your head!"
Conny's logic was flawless. So I had to try it!

So I concentrated on the object. immeditately <I> felt drawn into it. It stated ouit as a vague, fuzzy thing like when you wear glasses and there is a lot of moisture in the air and you see a dog|a cat|some girls yayas|a braciole in the distance.
But then it turned out that there was a secret memory, hidden beneath the vail layer of unclairity.

And within that memory, a burning figure appeared. It was Grandiose! In hell...

I was confused. I didn't think that memory would be in there, and yet it was there, burning like the fires of a bonfire and the centre of the earth.

Fortunately HK-47 worked at a newspaper nowadays and he used the archieve of the newspaper to find out home turf of Grandiose's thugs.
Their search led to a lesbian night club in the darkiest and stormiest part of Northsdale. I was a little hesitant to go. It was rather scary and it was dark and stomy in that secting of Northsdale. But the courage in me was greater than my fear because with my Windy things I should be able to accomplish anything, right, I thought to myself.
And HK-47 would join me.

So not to fall out of fashion we both stripped and donned their most gothyest clothing. I had to admit that HK-47 looked kind of sexy in that outfit of his. But I didn't dare to comment on that (I had only just discovered I am bi, and I was a little angxious over that. I wans't sure if my othre friends would accept that!.
I instead poored down my soul into my make-up. I bore gorgeous magenta finger nails with black streaking strips and gave HK-47 matching treatment. HK-47 gorgeous eyes met mine and for a moment we were both swimming in a pool made of a incandesent combination of their eyes colours. It was romance we knew, but we didn't know whether it was a forbidden one or not!

Oh hell, Grandiose could wait. Now I looked upon HK-47 with lust filling my wing dang doodle . Grandiose could be taking over the world for what I cared, now it should be all about me and HK-47.

But little did I know that in fact HK-47 had been lusting after me as well! With force and lust HK-47 threw me onto the telephone booth  and thrusted himself right into me. I moaned. We came. Then we went off and defeated Grandiose.
So we snuck into the Grandiose's lair. It was dark and there were horrofic things on the walls like drawings of skulls and suffering people who were beaing tortured in oil and bombarded with multipronged lances.
Through the dark and dank corridors of the lair's dungeons we went with outmost silence and skill. We sneaked past all the guards who had been turned into horrible demons by Grandiose's new invention. And this would also happen to the whole world if they wouldn't be able to steal the Magic staff from Grandiose's hands!
They went down the corridors and up the large majestic stairways made of bones and diamonds sprinkled with saffron.. One of the corridors led towards a great hall where in the middle of the hall stood a pedestaldripping in blood and guts and kidneys (and other organs) with a treassure chest on top and on that a red velvet pillow upon which laid a white silk finely woven cloth. And on that laid the Magic staff.

I knew that I had to use all of the Windy things (which I learned from Kyle Johnson) to get the Magic staff but it would endanger them all if he didnt keep his cool. Conny inhaled firmly and wondered if I could pull it off. HK-47 stood ready with his weapon in his hand and Connys boobies in the other. I concentrated firmly and then carefully but powerfully unleashed my Windy things. 

It worked! Kyle Johnson was amazed at my skill! The protections around the Magic staff disintegrated like snow before the plower. It was amazing how my's use of Windy things was effective against Grandiose's  powers.
Unfortunately for our fearless home boys, it wasn't enough

"Stop!" growled a evil voice. Everyone slowly spun around to face the entrance of the hall where the voice came from.
It was Grandiose! And he looked even less humane as before. He had used the power of the Magic staff to transform into a ghastly corpse of a monster.
"Ha! Are you surprised by my new looks?" He said. "It is amazing! The powers I have now are beyond your comprehension!"
"My comprehension is really good," I retorted and Kyle Johnson and friends looked proud.
"Hahaha of course yours is. But are you able to comprehend the future of this world? I bet you aren't that smart after all. I will rule the world now, you see and there is nothing you can do to stop me! Even when Kyle Johnson taught you evreything he knows!"
"But," said Grandiose with a lower tone, "even though you are not as smart as I am, you are surprisingly capable so I wish to make this offer: join me and we can rule this world together!"
"No" said Kyle Johnson!
"Think about it, you can now still save your friends! Make them stop mutate ebefore I release my powers!"
I saw Kyle Johnson becoming frightened. I knew he wanted to keep Conny, Richard, Sen and HK-47 alive for sex but I could not get Grandiose get away with it! But then I remembered: Grandiose no longer had the Magic staff! He was powerless!
But as if Grandiose could read my mind, Grandiose spoke: "Oh and your scheme to steal the Magic staff? I no longer need it! I have gained all the power from it that I need in order to mutate everyone in the whole world! But not that you even considered going against me, I will destroy you. Such a shame, we could be such good...friends." (A/N by which he means banging budies)
"Richard would never be friends with you!" said Sen
I thought she was right, but then again, Grandiose did look mighty sexy.
"It is too late now anyway, said Grandiose, my plan is active now and I will give you the best place to enjoy it: from your prison cell!"
Grandiose laughed and said to his guards: "lead them to my sex dungeon where you will suffer for all eternity in agony and pleasure.

But I had not forgotten Kyle Johnson's Windy things. With the speed and might that I learned from his previous adventures, he jumped and unleashed the Windy things.
Grandiose had not expected that. He thought he had trapped me and my friends and managed to demoralise them so much they would not resist.
"Nooos!" Grandiose said. His guards did not know what to do. Their leader was too weak against this onslaught. What could they do against that sort of might? So they all fled!
"Argh, noooo!" Grandiose extrapolated, "I was soo close to ultimate power!"
Seeing my succesfully attack Grandiose, Kyle Johnson, Sen and Richard also attacked Grandiose!

"Arigh, no, noooo!"
"I will unleash my final power!" Grandiose said and raised his arms to the sky and started hissing an evil curse.
But Kyle Johnson was too quick. He ran towards Grandiose and hit Grandiose in the tummy. He was knocked out instantly. Everyone was happy and everyone was cheering for Kyle Johnson who had avoided the apocalypse! Kyle Johnson thanked me for my inspiration and actions. And now we all went home and wait until our next adventure!

To be fair, pretty much everything under their containment is either nonsentient, hostile, highly dangerous, or some combination of the three. And they treat the sentients as well as containment procedures allow, which is more often than not a decent room with reasonable requests met.

As far as I know if you're going to start an arc with Amy GWG you're already beaten to the punch.
Also I mean Irons in the fire as many plots.

I agree, the world is scary and bad at times. However I feel that if it can have beautiful vistas as well as horrible people by the boat load it must balance out some at some point.

No, she earlier already stated to Abraxas that she felt that way.

Um... urge to metagame? The parts of her optimism that her cynicism is hiding? Partly wishing that she went to Oxford with Alfred and Silica rather than going to Stanford? Annoyance at the persona system?

Well, if they do enconter her, I'm pretty sure that Cyrielle won't get a persona out of it since her shadow will just refuse to turn into one and point out that people need shadows and that you can't really interchange them with personae because that would be like trading your id for a super-ego.

4:Arena sort of explains that Shadows aren't necessarily gone when you get your persona, they just subside from being actively malicious, and the self-awareness of accepting them provides the power of the Persona or something?

Oh yes, I also found out about a thing that exists and expands on the bullet proof fancy clothes. Biosteel. It's made by a sheep that has spider DNA apparently and is stronger than kevlar. Would that be an appropriate thing to make a suit out of? Or maybe make a bunch of sweaters and wear those?

Yeah, and spider silk could potentially stop an airplane if you had a small wall of it. If I remember correctly.
I remember reading that Lucifer meant light bringer. Which is really clever if you remember the whole 'it's darkest before dawn' thing. Because light would logically follow the light bringer. Also it's a little reference to the time I played a half fairy quarter elemental who was also related to a god.

Firstly, it's Cyrielle so it's more irritating than traumatic. Secondly, that's whole the point, that's why she uses them as alarms: so that she will immediately bolt awake (well, not really, it's rather difficult to bolt awake when you're sleeping in a mostly upright position).

Yup.
Kyle has trauma from the thought that someone actually thinks he might do that with Angel. If she was of proper age maybe but really, a fucking kindergartener?

Yeah maybe. Really depends on the timeframe. Doing that requires quite a bit of charge. She prefers quicker things such as printing off those blood-colored procedurally generated pictures of Richard made from components of prior code.

Not really drama more frustration with being unable to do something I have every right and reason to do since it can be easily prevented by any enemy we fight.

Having the power to one shot everything isn't fun for a GM. I'm putting severe nerfs on that and fixing the mechanics to allow it some more.

Aren't distortions really, really light? Wouldn't most kinds of armor, or even heavy clothing, stop that pretty easily? And wouldn't that also prevent the blade from cutting very deep?

Yes. I think Kyle compensated for that by using a massive amount of wind magic to slam it in. But I doubt it's MP cost is cheap.

It's been discussed elsewhere with relation to adamantine that, unless you have a perfect plane, friction will make it dang hard to get past any kind of armor, and even with the plane you would need to be strong to cut very far into anything. See, you can't build up any momentum, and distortions are presumably not frictionless.
And no need to fix! It keeps things balanced.

That does raise a good point, fixing it makes the gunshot slice more OP. Distortions are not frictionless. Unconsolidated ones are, but those have their own limitations.

Actually, not so much, since it'd still have the same penetration problems, since that would not benefit from the core.

Hell, if it requires the blade actually pierce them, then it wouldn't function anymore if it had non-distortion properties.

Dude. Look at it. Or, barring that, look at a color wheel.

You? Dark cold color, dark cold color. And their personalities are pretty similar.

I said similar, not identical. And when it comes to the kinds of things they say, they're pretty dang similar. Their goals might be a bit different, but dialogue...not enough to differentiate the two easily. Me, if I accidentally colored Nuriel's dialogue blue and someone thought it was Will, they'd realize their mistake pretty fast. Their personalities are sufficiently different at all levels that their speaking patterns are clearly distinct. Combine the lack of such a factor with the similarity of the colors--and how much most of you seem to loathe identifying the speaker--and we have a problem.

Not much, for just 44 posts. Will uncovered some of Kyle's deep-seated psychological issues, as illustrated by self-deprecating scrawls on the wall, including "Will Was Right" in his own blood behind the television.

Incidentally, kj, if this was him trying to mess with Will, Will would notice. He's good at detecting deception.

Conny gives her about 15 mana worth of a magic jolt to spice it up since it had been over a month since last time, hopefully lowering the addiction chance drastically.

However, immunity means that while she can't get addicted to things such as aspirins or painkillers, she can't use them either. Antibiotics and whatnot still work since they kill bacteria rather than affecting cells.

Not really serious business when we have so many healers.

She died and got revived. Cyrielle is the technically dead person.

Ah.

Well.

In that case she gets the -2 penalty. All you lot, you get the -5 if you get addicted to ANY drug. Yes that includes painkillers.

Seriously. Addiction. Srs bsns.

What about Demons Run, since she... Well I guess her body could get addicted..

Not exactly. Alfred doesn't make them turn into gigantic boss monsters when they hit 0 MP.

TSUKAIMA SHEET GO!

Name: Arikitos
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Stats: Total 45
STR- 5
END- 10
DEX- 15
MAG- 10
MIND- 5
Power: Wish Fulfillment.

Description: Arikitos is a Tsukaima, a small magical creature often seen accompanying magical girls. These creatures have the curious ability to induce magical powers in these girls through a magically binding contract. There is often some sort of exchange involved, such as a task that needs to be fulfilled or some downside to the powers themselves, and the wishes granted tend to be fulfilled to the letter and not the spirit of the wish, given the fact that Tsukaima, as a rule, are incapable of understanding human emotions.

Right, next mechanics change. Also, the OP's been updated to include the Mana mechanics instead of multipliers.

All physical Persona skills now cost health instead of mana. To compensate, however, they will do more damage, are easier to land, and, with a few exceptions, tend to have fixed health costs (see Mana in OP).

Health can now be used as a resource instead of mana.

As for skill nerfs:
Diarama now scales off of half CURRENT health instead of maximum health, + 2 HP for every 5 missing health. This goes for Dia (scales off quarter current health, plus 1 HP every 5 missing health.))

As a note, Laevateinn wouldn't put her into a coma anymore. The only reason it did that is that it nearly exsanguinated Yuri to the point that... well, DR was the only thing keeping her alive.

Now it just blows every bit of mana DR has left.

EDIT: Correction, it kind of would since she needs Mana to connect to her body, and thus would be stuck in Yuri's until she regenerates it >.>

Also, Field of Blades costs 10% of maximum health to cast, as that's the only one so far that isn't defined under the mana categorisation system or isn't defined on the relevant wiki.

Wrong. Selina keeps trying periodically to contact Maria, but she's asleep, or with friends, or her bracelet is off, or something. Selina's not trying to do it constantly, yes, but she does have other things to do, and some of them aren't always asleep or missing.

that's why there's a "v2" in the title. The original was far more plot-focused, somewhat darker and run by @scapheap. He dropped it and later gave @Elf control of it. This thread promptly timeskipped to the final battle where the protagonists ruthlessly massacred an entire army of soldiers, most of whom were probably conscripts and stopped the invasion. Even though their stats were lower back then.

Well, what would you expect? The invasion was mostly kept secret; the world at large was unaware of it until it was basically over. We're more focused on how magic is affecting the world, and even more on how things are affecting this small group of people.

Wait, are there any methods for people to guarantee that an attack will hit when not in actual combat? For example, if Andromalius steadied her aim and tracked a person for a while, would she still have to roll dexterity to hit even if the target doesn't do anything to dodge? Alternatively, if someone gave the exact coordinates of an enemy to Qi, could he fuck up their vitals without a mind roll?

I'm pretty sure that Qi would still have to roll MIND, since its powers are less "Did I hit the guy?" and more "Did his body resist my attack?" No idea about the first part, but if Andromalius was a trained markswoman and her target didn't know they were under attack, then I could see her attack automatically hitting. Barring supernatural powers and the like, of course.

Yes. However, that comes with a high penalty if you fail; your next attack misses completely. And it comes with a high mana cost.

And you'd still have to roll for damage dealt if not if they dodged or not.

So in what cases would it fail? If the target dodges or goes out of sight?

The latter. You have to keep a line of sight between them and you, and as they'll be wise to it, hence why it's a harder roll.

Selina may have created Conny with a soul since she's more of a stereotypical fairy, barring the promiscuity.

...

You have a point...

Conny isn't technically a fae, so I guess she may have a soul because Selina doesn't exactly know much fae lore and the drawings are probably somewhat modified by her intent at the time.

Well due to magic Conny can't get pregnant unless she wants to. So if Cado wanted to he could do that and mess us all up due to pregnant Conny.

No thanks, would rather not do that.

The RNG says otherwise.

Congratulations Conny. Seriously, you think I'm not going to take this opportunity up?


Remember kids, always wear protection....

... wait, Fae don't have souls, and thus can't create life.

How is she even...

@_@

Do lizard have souls? Do insects have souls? Sponges? Fungi? Algae? Bacteria? Viruses?
All of those (except, debatably, viruses) create new life.
(Besides, Conny isn't a real fae. She's a drawing brought to life by Selina.)

Oy stop being discriminatory. Souls are no more tied to life than a warthog to mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Eh, depends on what you mean by soul.
I equate the soul to the 'spark' that's needed to create life.
This is why changelings are a thing.

So, basically...you're saying that if you can't create life, you can't create life?
And how do changelings come into this thing?

1. I assume MAP stands for "Morning After Pill"? So wouldn't "MAP pill" mean "Morning after pill pill"?
2. Why would she? She thinks she can avoid getting pregnant by not wanting to get pregnant.

Qi found his past and was given a boat to go back to China.
Lots of people went on a shopping spree in Atlantis. (Possibly including Stella.)
Will and Cyrielle are designing "servers" for mind-bracelet use.
Cyrielle has admitted an infatuation with Abraxas.
Kyle has admitted an infatuation with basically every female character older than 14 that he didn't already have an infatuation with.
A fangirl showed up.
Selina fell asleep in the bath and got hypothermia. No one cared. Smacking ensued.
Not!Selina tok over and teleported Selina to the beach naked. Near the fangirl, of course.
Kyle got Conny pregnant.

Okay, this is a bit unreasonable. What do you want, exactly? You're making everyone look like mooches because we haven't had our characters randomly thank Maria (when her mother is the one actually paying for the stuff and bearing most of the burden) and roleplay helping around the house and whatnot. Perhaps Will should give Maria's mother advice on the stock market?
(Actually, that's a good idea. I just need a place to slip it into the narrative. Which will be hard, for the same reason that finding a good time to thank Maria('s parents mother, I don't think we've ever seen her father actually) for all she's done.)
Anyways, I always assumed that these little bits of basic etiquette were being handled in the same way as washing hands, using the restroom, showering, doing homework, and whatnot usually are: Off-screen, because they're kinda dull.

Meiosis creates gametes, not people. People are created by...well, depends on what you consider a person.
Zygote: Coitus.
Fetus: Growth.
Baby: Birth.
Being capable of having and expressing opinions: Development.
???: Probably not meiosis.

Let me put it this way. If meiosis creates people, masturbation is on par with the Holocaust.

Of course. You came up with the plan.

Mind you I half-agree with your plan. Not!Selina has been ranting/yelling about how unloved she is, and completely ignoring everyone's evidence to the contrary. Having all the drama quietly and easily resolved would just be silly.

Break as in "She doesn't want to do that anymore," not break as in "Makes more personalities".

Think of what he did to Kyle (accidentally!). He made him feel guilt and shame, but no Not!Kyle was made. That's basically his goal with Not!Selina.

The difference being that "doesn't love Big Brother" is a pretty inconsequential crime compared to being an attempted serial killer.

From the standpoint of the Party, though, not loving BB is a crime equal to infinity murders. But not that; my point was that you can't break the 'part' of her that was murderous because just like Winston who hated BB with all his mind, N!S wanted to kill all of you with all her mind.
Although I have to agree with you that she is getting cartoonish. At least Darnos was deliberate parody.

Meme is also the size of a toddler (or smaller? Cado, just how big is Meme again?), and hence could probably not carry that kid we need a name for for very long. If at all. Also, feeding would be an issue. And fussing. And...

My opinion of Conny and Kyle has gone down a couple more notches.

Hey! Will is sane!
And Angel is pretty sane, too, all things considered.

Alright, one of the few sane ones in the bunch. A bunch that includes fertility god Kyle, Not!Selina, a demon in the form of a bunny, etc.

Quote from: Xantalos on January 10, 2014, 04:09:03 pm

From the standpoint of the Party, though, not loving BB is a crime equal to infinity murders.

Well, I think we'd all disagree with that. The Party's self-centeredness and refusal to have anything but absolute power over its citizens lives (and, for the non-proles, their heart and minds) is one of the big reasons people consider them the antagonists.

Quote

But not that; my point was that you can't break the 'part' of her that was murderous because just like Winston who hated BB with all his mind, N!S wanted to kill all of you with all her mind.

I bring both of those statements into question. Winston did not hate Big Brother with all his mind, merely the conscious parts, the parts that went along with what he thought; there were plenty of parts which went with the programming he had been instilled with since childhood. There were also parts of his mind too busy with other things to care about Big Brother--the majority, I'd say. Similarly, Luna has large parts of her mind that don't care about killing, or that don't want to kill--it's just that the parts that want to kill are dominant and acknowledged by her conscious mind (and are, hence, the dangerous ones).

Kyle isn't a fertility god, he has a fertility-god-like fertility. If he was a fertility god, he would have control over it. (He would also have several other traits.)
And, really, we could just say "basically everyone except most of Elf's and GWG's characters".

Depends what parts of the Party you're talking about, I guess. And I remember that it was rather ambiguous in the book how much of their propaganda the Inner Party believed, and how much they inforced for alternative reasons. Or something like that. It's been a while since I've read it.

The Inner Party is fully aware of what they're doing. Outer Party, sure.
The Inner Party probably doublethinks about Big Brother; they know he isn't omnipotent, omniscient, or real, but they believe he is.

Will has asked this repeatedly IC, and I have asked it some OOC.
WHY DOES NO ONE WANT TO ADD THE SECURITY MEASURES?
Not "Why does no one listen to Will," "What reason is there to not give everyone killswitches and otherwise properly prepare for the possibility that the psychopath who has threatened to kill several members of the group, actually tries to kill someone?"

Well, nobody's decided to pester Alexander yet, another guy who could be trusted with it. Maria wasn't in the discussion. Richard was listening in but couldn't do anything.

Annie and Wheatley side with Cyrielle, and Hestia and Chiron are busy trying to figure out how to defuse Luna.

I've covered every character of mine who would reasonably be in the discussion.

I'd go on a rant about blind faith, but I'm fully aware that this and another (Facebook-based) debate have wound me up and I'm probably not rational in wanting to rant.

Wait, Cyrielle is acceding to the requests of the wannabe serial killer for her new body? That seems, pardon my language, fucked up to me. Why doesn't it set off warning bells that Luna the person who wants to kill several members of the group is refusing to let those members shut her off?

The first is, pardon my language, fucked up big time. Seriously, Will is trying to help (saying he's trying to break her to fit what he wants her to be is a bit messed up, seeing as what he wants her to be is "not murderous"), and Not!Selina is a fragment of Selina's worst desires.
The second two are understandable and acceptable.

Hyoma is a diviner(whose ability is summoning paper units who are mooks, except ogre who is strong) who comes from a village full of people who can use magic: Magic seals, teleportation, summonings. They even have a book on seals and binding rituals, books on just about every form of magic except personae and Selinas, Tabella's, and Grandiose's magic. Also, no one has realized that they haven't seen hyoma in like since kyle bashed Sen's brains into the ground.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 10, 2014, 10:34:59 pm

Alright. Having calmed down over errands and dinner, I will provide my thoughts over what's happened before catching up and getting worked up again.

Firstly, a fun fact. When you get into a heated discussion, your adrenal glands activate. Adrenaline shuts down/reduces the amount of function in your higher brain functions so more energy can be spent on dealing with the danger. Higher brain functions are vital to critical thought and arguments not devolving. What is this Intelligent Design you speak of?

And now onto important stuff.
Will might have been a bit too...zealous, but he has a pretty major point.
Cyrielle and the others either didn't plan enough, or needed to share their plans better. I had this image of a magically-powered automaton running magically, with regeneration, distortion bones, and all that. Some of those were features that had been scrapped (but Cyrielle did not mention this), others were simply implied by, say, the lack of fuel or electricity needed and completely wrong. Her insistence on following Luna's desires was also infuriating. Yes, it's nice to have friends, but you're allowed to tell them no, especially when they're asking for less safeguards that would stop her from being able to kill your other friends, including one you were at one point heavily implied to have some kind of crush on. Also, I had little to no idea what was going on with control. I thought that the part of Selina's mind with Luna in it would be transposed to the 'bot, giving Selina a slightly distributed consciousness. (Hence not understanding that Selina would have a "kill switch" or that Luna wouldn't be able to use magic through it.)
Kyle...he overreacted. (And it's a bit odd that Kyle apparently agrees with Will that he's a horrible person, but hates Will for calling him a horrible person. "Damn you for telling the truth!")
Maria...it sicks that she broke down, but I kinda wish she hadn't just said "Stop arguing!" It was kinda dumb, asking Will (who tends towards the debative) to not argue about the circumstances of incarnation for someone who threatened to kill him, thereby potentially putting his life at risk. That's not the kind of thing anyone's likely to shut up about just because they're asked nicely, not until they feel their life is safe.
A lot of people were weirdly absent. It's...odd.

Kyle sits at the table disappointed like.
"So to begin todays conversation I vote that Luna comes to stay at my house as I have an extra room and she's unlikely to cause problems out in the wilds. Does any one have a better place for her?"

...
Didn't Kyle say he was never going back to Maria's because Will might be there?

I promise that no matter how much he sleeps with Sen, Nuriel, or, um...we don't have any other demons...well, Will's arm is demonic, and Abraxas looks demonic, but I don't think he's into severed body parts or personae. Or that Abraxas counts. Anyways, they will not make him into a demon.

Also, I just remember that he had a threesome with Nuriel a while back. Combine that with his fertility power...

Foot? He's up to his knee by now...


Also, something important.

Remember when Angel alluded to news and Selina looked it up? You might have missed it, since it was at the top of a megapost overshadowed by the burgogeoning Lunar Body Controversy. Well, here's the summary.

Quote from: GreatWyrmGold on January 10, 2014, 11:54:55 am

Quote from: RangerCado on January 10, 2014, 12:34:52 am

Selina goes and checks a computer for Angel, her plan getting close to starting.

There's a good bit. Three major incidents in the recent past. Grandiose, a battle between Amy Hart and a few IRIS agents which ended up causing billions in property damage including severe damage to the Golden Gate bridge, and a woman called Murder Night using a sort of shadowy companion that seems to eat souls (along with  a small army, but that's usually glossed over except to mention the few magic-users in said army) to take over a good bit of Africa. There are also littler things, relatively petty magical criminals, destructive magicians trying to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Strange or Superman, stuff like that. People worldwide are reacting, in different ways.
Some are fine with just letting it be unrestricted, like any human ability. Others want registration, so we know who all the people with magic are. Some want more extreme measures--banning use of magic, some even wanting to imprison or execute everyone with magic. The US is pretty much the only country to have acted yet, with a general ban on magic, but the law's definition of magic is...clumsy, shall we say. It doesn't really solve the problem...not in the least because those who were already planning to commit crimes with magic don't feel particularly threatened by the new law.

Selina has probably had time to share this and the implications. I think the characters should be worried about, or at least react to, this. And barring, that, I'd like your guys' thoughts.

Post by: Empiricist on January 10, 2014, 10:44:11 pm

Actually Cyrielle did repeatedly mention that it was up to the person making the body. Her main reasoning was that at the end of day, add too many restrictions and she'll refuse, turning Selina into collateral damage. Plus as was mentioned in her conversation with Not!Selina that by her estimate, she wouldn't stand a chance against Richard, especially when he was on another continent. I should state that I felt a lot was miscommunicated near the end, primarily due to the massive surge in thread activity.

It was a bit too argumentative for my liking. Plus I wasn't exactly comfortable since I felt that I was expected to argue my opinion, when my opinion was to seal Not!Selina and get a psychiatrist in there rather than my character's more optimistic opinion.

Quote from: Sanure on January 10, 2014, 10:46:22 pm

@GWG Yes please.  Just posted something so I may need to fix it.

It's okay. Let's see...I can give a more full summary later if you want, but right now I'm still catching up on all my games. I am in a lot.
Demons live in Hell. There isn't any central leadership (no Satan figure), but there are a lot of archdemons, demon lords, and the like--demons that lead because they are rich or powerful. Souls that go to Hell don't become demons, or money, or (usually) food; they simply exist there, often working for the archdemons as slaves but sometimes just being there for being shown off. Each demon lord has some set of qualities in souls that, should they be rejected from heaven (a whole different issue, which has more to do with "would they fit into the cogs of our machine" than "did he do good"), they will come. Demons temporarily exiled to earth often try to "corrupt" mortal souls one way or another so they can collect a fraction of the value of the soul once they return.
On the note of exiled demons...if a demon is on earth and not in Hell, either he is on a mission, or he is in trouble. The latter case is usually exiles, but I suppose it's possible for a demon to screw up so badly he willingly flees to Earth. (Or maybe Sen is the one in a few billion that doesn't like Hell?)
We need to figure out why Sen is on Earth, firstly.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: Sanure on January 10, 2014, 11:06:05 pm

Sen is on earth because of her thirst for knowledge. being a demon of paper she is naturally inclined to hunt for knowledge and Hell is not know for its scholarly needs. Sen's demon name is Compendium due to the amount of books she has memorized or cannibalized. She also has consumed about 12 different Magic Tomes owned by Hyoma's family hence why she was sealed in his ancestry. she pretty much reincarnated into him causing his shortened lifespan.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: NOW WITH MORE SUMMON/PERSONA STATTING
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 10, 2014, 11:52:44 pm

Unusual, but nothing really clashes with previous lore so it works.

Although there aren't so much different types of demons as different specializations. Succubi are good at seducing men, but that doesn't mean they can't do deals with the devil or join demonic armies.

Oh, and all demons have shapeshifting. It obeys conservation of mass, isn't very fast, and is even slower and more limited for those fused with humans (like Nuriel and Sen), but it helps if Sen wants to hide her identity or change her nose shape as a party trick or something.

At this point, I don't know..
Let me fix that.

From this point on, it's a MAG roll, then another roll to determine how much mana it drains (d20).

Sukukaja raises your stats regardless of rolls; the roll is mainly will it be a high or a low raise, which, as it's a fixed self buff originally, I'll probably remove.

Antimagic doesn't work against it.
You get more power (magic is more utility).
Resistances apply to the person as well; (some random idiot comes up to you and blasts you with wind and you won't feel a thing).

Not affected by antimagic fields, things that detect magic specifically can't find them, and it's nearly impossible to tell you can use it until you do. Also what Elf said.

That's... not actually all that good. I can emulate the resistance with magic shields. Antimagic is just telling Kyle to shoot you in the dick, and the magic detection... Okay I'll admit that would be useful if it weren't for the fact that everyone knows who most of our characters are already.

And everyone also associates said characters with magic.

Also, it's geared towards nuking enemies in battle. Magic is balanced between nuking and utility, and most (not all) powers are balanced towards utility.

The main benefit is that it's hell on wheels for what each persona is good at, just less diverse than magic. Also, if you have a bitchin' mind stat, you still get benefits from non-spontaneous magic (like the sigils Yuri still uses from time to time.)

It still seems very unuseful. Like I can do practically everything before with greater efficiency before than the things I do now. I mean the only thing I didn't have before was the half physical damage thing which I already could do better with air shields and the healing.

I'm planning on divorcing Personae entirely from the MAG stat and moving them into the MIND stat, making their resist stat MIND as well.

Also magic shields will and do wear down, meanwhile having the resistance and the halved damage is a passive that you don't expend mana on.

Well, unless they happen to be immune to wind. Also another thing that I though of. Presumably Kyle is now extra weak to the element Merlin is weak to now so he now lacks his previous protection in the form of magic and he now take extra damage from something.

-universal-constant magic (Changes constants such as Planck's constant and the Speed of Light, but it would have been a bitch to simulate)

Still not good courtesy to slash people. Not her fault entirely, she is amnesic and somehow no one has actually told her that it's a bit rude to do that.

Oh, and at this point, probably most group members know of her katana already. Hell, even Sen knew about it.

That's my point. HOW THE FUCK HAS THAT NOT TURNED UP? What are these people doing that is so important that they can't spare a few seconds saying "Hey Ashley! Don't shiv me bro, kthxbai!" At around this point, it's starting to shift so that it's their fault for never bringing it up.

Oh trust me, I feel guilty for making Kyle do it. Can you imagine what Kyle will think when he realizes what he did? You know, besides 'Well, it's a good time for seppeku'.

Cut out the seppeku and we have a metaphor for Will needling Kyle.

Quote from: Sanure on January 11, 2014, 01:35:21 pm

You missed a lot Cado. Kyle got stabbed, Sen has killed hyoma's family and summoned a demon, Hyoma is severly injured(broken arm and ribs and internal injuries), and Yuri.... Has Sen in a binding circle.

And Nuriel did nothing.

Good job. Also I want to point out that the KylexMedea ship is just as viable. Was, I mean.

Nah. Medea was in a committed relationship, Ashley's just sorta mooning after Richard.

I'm sure the sky is really helpful for making gardens, hunting, and basically doing everything they need to do, only they need to go a lot farther to do it. And people running around on a mountain aren't that much less conspicuous than a village.
And don't joke about genocide. It's not cool.

You seem to be under the impression that at least one of them was willing to enter the pact. This is not the case.
Yuri's family bound Demons Run into her, after generations of having done much the same.

What Will might say if he was at Sen's location:

"Yes, yes, you've had centuries. Didn't we just go over how Yuri has an order of magnitude more experience behind her actions than you do? Furthermore, she has the advice of someone who, aside from having a thousand times that, also made the universe and wrote the laws of magic. Also on our side? Another demon, the being who gave humans sentience, innumerable gods, and a few people who can make literally anything. We also have someone in the service of a being just as powerful as Shys'm Caes, who can teleport anyone anywhere, so if you escape, we can repair the issue, track you down, and put you back. And then there's me. Once Yuri and Shys'm Caes explain how this stuff works, I will find any flaws that may exist and explain how to fix them. It's my power, it's what I am. You will lose. It is inevitable. You might as well work with us, try to get out on good behavior."

Blocks any magic exiting and entering that isn't anyone from either the original magic group or the crossover that this thread did.

Sen, Ester, Elizabeth and Hyoma's magic don't work in it. Alexander still needs to update it.

He took his baby into the company of a hostile demon who hadn't been subdued. When there were a number of people far more qualified to take care of babies (like Maria, Izzy, Meme, Momo...okay, that last one was just mean, I'm sorry) and no hostile demons.

On the rediculous off-chance that she can actually USE those spells... I'd avoid it.

We do not need her running around with a million and one ways to rape people.

No Kj, Sen's Re-Emergence of Trans-location has no pages on gender exchange. It does specify pages on individual bodypart warping, but thats more of a hurt the enemy kinda thing.

Only book that could have something in it like that would be Alienis Portelin or Black Mass

In other words, no.

Wouldn't say she orders them around; she's a friend of Hestia and Chiron, as well as Abraxas. She only orders around Nidhoggr and Sobek; and the former by dint of it being unintelligent in comparison to freaking Chiron and Abraxas.

Then technically even Alistair (without Iolodammus) is a badass.

...oh, right, before I forget. Anima, to round out her contracts (the ones she's currently using with the gods consent, forced or not):

Susanoo
Loki
Inanna
Pestilence (the Horseman of the Apocalypse)
Andras

Apart from that, she's got more, but these are the ones she's currently using because every other one is busy doing their thing.

Pestilence is off doing something? I would think he would have tons of free time unless he's upgraded to a full god in the setting. If that's the case I'm curious what the other rider do.

But still, you have to be pretty badass to meet that many gods including a Norse god. Even if it's Loki.

I guess Andromalius is a nom de guerre used by Fate contractors for false flagging then seeing as it's supposed to be a demon according to the Ars Goetia.

Actually, the second isn't half bad of an idea.

Also, yes, it's canon, kj. Anima's technically one of the oldest magical girls in history, I don't see why the Mayans didn't have one. Or the Incans for that matter.

That's how I established regular consolidated distortions to work (the force skips past them, a sword slice at a distortion plate would not disperse or otherwise attenuate at all), otherwise Cyrielle could just walk around in a suit of armor made from it.

Yeah they're supposed to be odd, especially considering the entity behind them. Essentially, swinging a sword made out of them only swings the handle since force doesn't get spread out; the rest of it realigns due to the magic keeping it in a solid-like state. As for rifles and what not, they just act as a conduit for someone contracted to channel their magic.

Oh, for the katana that would be when its deconsolidated, which Kyle hasn't done (due to the mental issues it causes). It doesn't, well, not very well at least. It slices everything caught inside it from every single direction, except the aperture of it is tiny so it only leaves a small hole. The really damage is when part of it explosively expands.

I suppose, except it snaps back into place relative to its original shape rather than the user's body. Plus it isn't fully consolidated so it does also flow a bit rather than remaining rigid, allowing it to act like an actual long-coat rather than a long-coat shaped piece of plastic.

It depends on the level of magic used. The more magic is applied, the closer it approaches something of human understanding, the less is applied, the closer it is to Fate which doesn't even perceive time the same way humans can.

Out of all of my characters' magic, you complain about the one based on eldritch abominations being strange rather than the one based on wall street?

Or the guy who shoots himself in the head to summon monsters? Or the paper demon?

Those, at least, are internally consistent.


Also, seriously, what's Alistair doing with Maria and Selina's mail? Why did he even open it?

I'll summarize:
-unconsolidated: dissipates quickly, flows but the way in which it flows causes it to be somewhat explosive, sharp
-semiconsolidated: non-rigid, not breakable, transmits force well, sharp with magic input, requires a lot of magic
-consolidated: rigid, not breakable, transmits force well, requires some magic
-Annie & Wheatley's stuff: fucked if I know, I never expected that when determining the mechanics

It's only unconsolidated that do that since it's entirely unmodified with magic, any input of magic will cause it to lose that property.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 12, 2014, 07:55:28 pm

1. Then how is it sharp?
2. Weren't Luna's bones going to be made out of...something that was consolidated and hence able to hold its form?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on January 12, 2014, 07:58:01 pm

1. Sharp is more of an approximate term since it's a eldritch thing that damages what it tunnels through.
2. Yeah, but all forms of it don't attenuate or mitigate forces. (excluding whatever the hell Annie and Wheatley made their bodies out of)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 12, 2014, 08:19:32 pm

You claimed on the tropes page that, since the bones would be insubstantial, attacks would go right through them. But if the kind of distortions that made up the bones weren't insubstantial, that argument is invalid.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on January 12, 2014, 08:23:52 pm

No, it wasn't that they were insubstantial, it's that they don't mitigate or attenuate force. A sword slice's force won't spread out once it hits the bone, it will get attenuated on the other side by flesh and whatnot but the only real damage reduction would be from stopping the bone and since the bones are rather light and (assuming aerogel was used) the flesh is as well, it could easily dislocate bones. Assuming someone hits it horizontally across the stomach, its just going to go through the flesh and eject a vertebrae or two, possibly bisecting it.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 12, 2014, 08:30:56 pm

Wouldn't the whole distortion move with the blade or whatever, dispersing the force greatly?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on January 12, 2014, 08:38:00 pm

Not exactly, the part the blade contacts with will displace for a split-second and snap-back. So if we're talking about the sternum being stabbed, part of it (matching the shape of the blade) will be displaced by the blade and be driven into whatever is behind it before snapping back to its original position relative to the rest of the bone.

Similarly, if Kyle were to have his attack parried or blocked, the hilt of his katana will continue moving forwards for a split second before snapping back and presumably spraining his wrist.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure how to play a psycho-stalker, hence why I dropped that idea. I figure that attacking Conny and Kyle's other love interests would be near the top of the list, as would be threatening Kyle's sensitive bits with bladed weaponry.

Also, I know Cado read it.

That is a horrible hint. Since we obviously don't know what the thing is, telling us its nickname isn't going to help us.

No. I looked up Endbringers because "it's GWG, he likes Worm as much as I like Persona".

A war does imply conquest. It only implies fighting.

And when I finally read the last bit and post something to interact with the gods everyone stops responding. Although it is kind of amusing that neither Pestilence nor Abraxas reacted to Kyle calling them cute.

Basically there was a brief alien invasion by a race called the Layar, which was foiled by a ragtag group of magical girls. This is after that. The group that fought off the invasion are now celebrities of a sort, and shenanigans will no doubt occur. Several other people who have various powers have each found themselves crossing paths with this group, and have each in turn joined forces with them.

You can start with one as a power, and you can have, in battle, three at a time; one Persona and two others, or three summons.

Please say yes, Elf. I want to be a sentient blob of STDs.

You're aware this will reduce how many parties you get invited to?

I'm sorely tempted to make it a yes and give the child conscious control of disease.

Do it! I love this idea!

Child with conscious control over disease = no STDs for anyone nearby.

I'm admittedly quite rusty seeing as it's literally the last thing our physics course will cover; most of my own knowledge gleaned from various less technical books on it, so I'll probably have to read quite a few technical articles and whatnot, as for which interpretation, I'm leaning towards Copenhagen seeing as that's the one I'm more familiar with, but I'd rather decide once I've seen all of them. As is obvious, it's quite a lot of work and I'd rather not do it due to how much work it entails but every now and then I do get an urge to try working on it.

Assuming it was the roman measurement, that's about 5,400 demons per legion.
For a total of 162,000 demons under her indirect command from Andras alone.

I finally thought up of a use for the 194,400 demons under Cyrielle's command (Count Andromalius rules over thirty-six legions).
Seeing as she can't actually summon them (she doesn't have that magic and also for the obvious balance issues) but can order them around, she could just have them DoS the fuck out of people.

Yes, I just realized that A: she has control over an large army of demons and B: the only thing she could really do using them is increase server traffic.

As stated, Cyrielle can't summon her demons. She can order them around, but even then she's probably more likely to just ask them to run a spambot on their computers. You could try somehow making the machine operate as a complex system of mutually interfering spam with the assistance of magic and then name it MagiNet.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 07:19:45 am

sooo, here we go


I just recently saw that movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118755/) again, and shortly after came across this image (http://simg.gelbooru.com//images/1766/2da70d9bd84d25b75f1dcdec2d791de0.jpg), and adding this soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O177fuJVSFo), and  a bit of folklore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issun-b%C5%8Dshi) to the mix, bam, char concept was born, so here we go.




Hainuwele, the tiniest magical girl.


Gender: Female
Age: Like most small things in the world, the small folk lead much faster lives, rarely making it past 20. At the age of 9, Hainuwele is already a seasoned veteran.
Inventory of note: the Divine Sands.
Active: Protective Sandstorm: Enshrouds the party in a divinely empowered sandstorm for five turns, damaging any enemy within it for -5 per turn. -40 MP to activate.
Exp: 40/100
Stats:


STR: 5
END: 5+1 (seraphim)
Dex: 30+5+1+4+(5) (manticores, sphinx, seraphim, (grail - pending))
MAG: 30
MIND: 5

If I got that right, that should result in (50 + 30)*5 = 400 Mana to use on the power described below, and (6*5 + 5*2)*3 = 120 health, correct?


Standing only 10 cm (4 inches) tall, the Captain of the of the human-combat corps of the little folk, Hainuwele, has gained fame and recognition among her people as one of the few of the little folk that is able to bring down a human in a one on one fight, usualy an incredibly difficult and costly task, even for teams of 10 or more, including heavy siege equipment. Bearing merely a heavy duty needle and a sake cup as a helmet, as well as various fishing hooks as climbing equipment, one would think that her attacks are neither particularly dangerous or even painful, and for anyone with less experience that would certainly be the case. However through years of experience, theorethical work and sheer instinct, Hainuwele has developed an uncanny sense for anatomy and weakspots. Given enough time to observe her opponent and build a tactic, Hainuwele uses superior agility and her small size for all the advantages they could bring, landing few, but very precise strikes on the enemy. Such critical hits can cripple the enemy (striking at tendons and nerves), slowly begin to wittle the enemy down (striking major arteries or eyeballs), or even be outright deadly (striking right between the ribs into lung or heart). Striking at accupressure points, she can also do much more than just heal middle aged feng-shui nuts from headaches, as these spots lay along junctures of the flow of magic within the body. Such strikes can have a wide arrange of hard to predict effects on spell casters, from increasing the time needed to cast, from mana slowly seeping out, to sealing certain spells and in extreme cases, uncontroled outbursts.
Her abilities have made Hainuwele arrogant and swanky, as she tends to take herself way too serious. And thus, she leaves her homestead on the back of her trained and loyal combat pidgeon , Galda, in such for adventure and glory that will make her immortal in legends. Little does she now that the occasional human wandering into the land of the little folk do not usualy qualify as actually difficult opponents.



Replace the mallet in the picture above with a fishing hook, and you have the appearance, I guess. A mouse-tail comes out from underneath her Kimono





does that work? anything missing, anything unfitting?


also, requesting more information on how dice rolls work. I see people rolling their own dice all over the place, so I wonder, are the numbers just mad eup on spot, or is there any way for the GM to influence rolls?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on January 14, 2014, 08:18:45 am

The numbers are based off stats, and I can influence them if they're inaccurate or require GM intervention.

Also, someone already HAS the weakness detection power. Try something else.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 08:26:54 am

yeah, that explanation doesn't tell me much. I already knew that based off stats, you gain a bonus on the d100 role, and appearantly high numbers are better. No idea what range of numbers would constitute as a failure or success, and when a roll is needed and when not

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on January 14, 2014, 08:29:33 am

50 above;  success.
1; crit fail
100+; crit success
2-49: failure.

Rolls:
Programming: Yes.
Finding something during an adventure; Yes.
Finding a good restaurant; No.

Basically, rolls are made in situations they make sense in.

"Due to my imprisonment inside of the Genryu bloodline, I do not know what a 'gun' is... I suppose I will wait here for him." Sen sits down across from Conny and sets the Ak-47 on the table. So this device is called a 'gun'? How strange. They did not have these back when I was last free." Sen examines the gun while not touching it.

When was Sen imprisoned again? They've had guns for several hundred years.

I'm admittedly quite rusty seeing as it's literally the last thing our physics course will cover; most of my own knowledge gleaned from various less technical books on it, so I'll probably have to read quite a few technical articles and whatnot, as for which interpretation, I'm leaning towards Copenhagen seeing as that's the one I'm more familiar with, but I'd rather decide once I've seen all of them. As is obvious, it's quite a lot of work and I'd rather not do it due to how much work it entails but every now and then I do get an urge to try working on it.

in the bowl, mix in creme freche with some chives, finely minced garlic and a table spoon of sweet mustard, cut a red onion into rings and spread
bake that stuff for 12 minutes on 220°C, when it comes out of the oven, take some spinach and throw some vinegar and grape seed oil on it, spread on the still hot tarte to wilt, then spread smoked salmon and the rest of your mustard creme

Yes. Sen loses that one, Kyle can call upon it. HOWEVER, the mana rule applies; Summons use their summoner's mana to use skills, unless the summon itself has a gimmick of some sort to replace it. I'll assume that HK doesn't use mana, but probably has some sort of energy rating to compensate, unless you decide otherwise.

Yeah, but think about it.

If she DOES have to fight, her mana has to be recalculated per summon she brings out.

Hm. I might have to actually bring in special rules to deal with Anima-type summoners, who use contracts (technically, because of Yuri, Sen counts as a summon) and Selina-type summoners, who use mana to summon mooks who lack any magical active skill on their own.


Meh, I might just leave it and just put special rulings per summon as needed.

iss...that character currently being actively used?


because that kinda ability is kinda essential for a character like that to work


also, what exactly is that other characters power, perhaps both powers can be differentiated enough to not overlap too much


alternatively


I see that almost everyone is running multiple characters, then, should the one with the similar ability be a minor character, I'd kindly request that the minor character should consider altering the power, I mean, with 50+ characters, pretty much all interesting powers are already reserved, but so many of them are just minor side characters




alternatively


what's wrong with two characters having similar powers. My character is about all the perks of being tiny, going with a stealthy, analytic approach, that requires planning and great care. chances are the other character has an entirely different approach as to what to make of this power

Major character, and he has the stealth approach as well. His power is flaw detection, part of what's pretty much Sherlock Holmes' power, only amplified.

I can, however, permit her to have unerring aim, which will always hit what she wants to hit.

If it's a weak spot....well, I can't blame you, can I?

Spoiler: Angel (click to show/hide)

Normal (Full) Name: Angel Beatrice Carlson
Magical Name: Nuriel
Gender: Female
Appearance, Normal: A fairly short (~3'2") kindergartner. She has straight auburn hair to her shoulders, pale skin, and blue eyes. She wears glasses and green clothes of various sorts.
Appearance, Magical: This generous friendly magical girl's droopy eyes are the color of an overcast sky and her medium-length, wavy, fine, black hair is worn in a military-style style. She is tall (6 ft and a bit) She has an hourglass build. Her pretty, odd costume is yellow and blue in even proportions and glows with a powerful radiance.
Power: Her Magical Girl powers are mainly fire-based. Angel's Magical Girl form is also significantly taller (looking like a tall, beautiful 18-year-old), stronger, and has a pair of wings which can be used to fly.
Background: Angel is a child prodigy. She began school a year early and is in first grade despite being only 5. More importantly, she reads a lot. She's not a talker, which gives her plenty of time to spend reading various scientific books and such. She had a firm grasp on how the world worked since some time in kindergarten.
You may have gathered that this didn't last. It didn't.
A few months ago, Angel was on a camping trip and got lost while hiking. She tried to find her way beck to the campsite, but couldn't. She tripped and fell into a ravine...next thing she knew, she was back at the campsite with no injuries or fatigue and a weird sun-shaped mark on her chest.
Since then, Angel has discovered her ability to invoke the form of a neo-angelic being (the modern interpretations of angels, that is) with pyrokinetic abilities...or something like that. Angel is interested in how this works and irritated that her "other self" is a lot different--more outgoing and valiant, and also stupid and not interested in scientific processes. Where will this lead? Soon...we may see.

excuse me for assuming that the character that the first character on the list, with the relatively long description, that GWG posted as earlier was the main character,
while the character who is just named Will, and has no description besides "will get description when he matters" was the side character.

I find slight offense that my entire charconcept gets canceled because people with a dozen characters called upon a similar ability without even making it a full sentence

When was Sen imprisoned again? They've had guns for several hundred years.

For her purpose, Sen was sealed away 979 years ago or 1034.

Quote from: IamanElfCollaborator on January 14, 2014, 01:02:04 pm

Hm, I'll look into Sen's powers, they do seem fairly broken, although I'm interpreting them as her absorbing the powers from books rather than having them natively, in which case I might start giving her higher mana costs to compensate, as well as nerfing her power absorption.

They are a bit broken because I don't really know what mana consumption they should have :/. And your interpretation is correct. The magic abilities are from the books. Sen needs a catalyst (a host or a contracted person who allows use of their mana) to effectively use the magic at its full power. Other wise the spells are about as strong as a the sword she stabbed kyle with. Pm me your idea's so I can make Sen less broken.

Can Kyle request that Sen gives him a summon from his book?

Also is there anything Kyle needs to react to?

Yes. Sen loses that one, Kyle can call upon it. HOWEVER, the mana rule applies; Summons use their summoner's mana to use skills, unless the summon itself has a gimmick of some sort to replace it. I'll assume that HK doesn't use mana, but probably has some sort of energy rating to compensate, unless you decide otherwise.

This confuses me lol

also, I would have argued that, since the game seems to have a romance focus (or at least that was my impression so far), it would leave a plattform for action outside the confines of a pg-13 forum. then again, the thread is so huge and fast moving, I reckon Elf could post a long and intricate description of various non-rule conform activities and nobody would ever take notice of it

Teleports are major acts, with a +5 mana cost each teleport because it isn't your native power, paper manipulation without creating mooks is a minor, paper mooks is a moderate.

Absorption costs ALL of your mana per use.

Is that acceptable?

How about instead have her use, say, 30 mana to form the summon, then have an additional upkeep cost of say 5 mana every 5 posts?
The summon would last for 70 posts however so maybe more mana as upkeep?

This way Sen still has a penalty for the non-natural skill, and can keep it going for a while?

Some of us have multiple characters. I started with Angel, whose alternate form Nuriel developed into a seperate character, then Will came in as a character of mine from another game, and I sometimes play wolfchild's character Stella when wolf isn't around.
And I have the second-fewest characters, if I'm not mistaken.

Hm, I'll look into Sen's powers, they do seem fairly broken, although I'm interpreting them as her absorbing the powers from books rather than having them natively, in which case I might start giving her higher mana costs to compensate, as well as nerfing her power absorption.

That does seem to be what she is doing. That is why I'm saying she'll be getting more and more. Regardless, she'll become the Eidolon of the group before long, and Kyle ain't Hero, nor is Nuriel Legend.
We don't have any bruisers comparable to Alexandria, sadly.

I'm 20 pages behind IC and five behind OOC, but I'll catch up.

I'm probably going to make it so that if sen exhausts her mana from use of her book magics then she slips into a coma for a few days. Even with the nerf's she has received it's still a little op.

I would also consider that viable. I'll probably do the disruption by damaging the psuedobook. Her throat is going to be to defended by her armor so unless they were incredibly accurate and strong...

I like the longer cast time :P

Or, I should have her have to prep the books in advance. meaning any book she wants to use she has to have it ready before hand and attached to say a belt for spell books?

dear god, all those time paradoxes, it's as if you had taken a photoalbum and pasted cuts of your face all over it. Well over 300 posts have been made, many of them almost a whole day ago by now. In that time, the conversation has gone through about 20 different topics. Isn't it enough to say that a character of a player who was away simply went off to do different things, and then hop in back into the thing by adressing just the latest topic?


I'll just imagine that will occasionaly snaps out of a coma like trance, his mouth moving so fast that he delivers several hours of conversations within split seconds, like a bursting balloon, until he finaly slows down to an illegible tempo, as his mind finaly catches up with the flow of time

Post by: Akroma on January 15, 2014, 11:03:37 am

not "are" still there, "were" there.


the conversation has long ended, and everyone at the scene had gone off to do stuff elsewhere for hours on end.


sure, I don't have to react to any of this, but I'm getting paragraphs that are getting more aggressive each and every line, giving 20 reactions to what I have said and done all at once. If those comments had come in in a chronological order, with me there to react to them as they appear, the entire conversation would have gone an entirely different route. Now, I can't just jump in here back into the middle, because time paradoxes, nor does it make much sense that Will just stands there and keeps talking to me like that without me giving an immediate reaction.


it basicaly created two different timelines, two different versions of the scene, scene A, where Will was entirely silent, and scene B, where Will said all that he has said in the paradox post. However, scene B is more or less sliced in half, it's Will giving tons of reactions to things that were going on, while the entire other side, that is things reacting to Will, never even got a chance to happen. It's awkward, if not mostly impossible to somehow create a chimeric version of that scene. If someone asked me to explain what happened in that scene, there is just no actual complete version C, just A, and 1/2 of B.


it's impossible to get any character dynamic going like this, because in A, Will and Hainuwele never spoke a word to eachother, or even acknowledged eachothers presence, heck, I am not sure they even met. Meanwhile in B, Will kept taking offense in Hainuweles existance not being properly explained, and gets more and more agitated at the lack of explanation, to the point where he becomes insulting and appearantly has gained a severe dislike...meanwhile Hainuwele however only exists in timeline A, and never perceived anything of B happening at all.




so yeah, what to make of it? Timeline B seems more like a theorethical "what would have been said, if I had been there", than actual presence, and is very hard to react to, because as a whole, it's a time paradox

well, I have at least seen one character who takes halved damage from physical attacks, it would be foolish to think that we wont run into enemies similarly resilient, or worse, immune. Not having at least a magical side arm would be neglient

Yeah, that's a good idea. Not entirely sure how laser weaponry counts as a magical attack though.

Laser weaponry doesn't count as physical. And the physical resilience is a Persona skill, so it at least gives you reassurance that only a few people will be lugging it around; that particular passive, at any rate.

Quote from: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 01:29:11 pm

iss...that character currently being actively used?

because that kinda ability is kinda essential for a character like that to work

Like what? Small? Don't be silly, there's a lot of other powers like that. Pyromancy, for instance (although that's taken by Angel/Nuriel). Telepathy. Size-changing. Stuff like that. Use your imagination.

Quote

also, what exactly is that other characters power, perhaps both powers can be differentiated enough to not overlap too much

If I'm not mistaken, Elf is referring to Will, who is from the Super Academy world. His power is, to summarize it in a single compound word, super-intuition. Figuring out weaknesses is one of the applications.

Quote

alternatively

I see that almost everyone is running multiple characters, then, should the one with the similar ability be a minor character, I'd kindly request that the minor character should consider altering the power, I mean, with 50+ characters, pretty much all interesting powers are already reserved, but so many of them are just minor side characters

1. Will's a pretty major character. I think he's taken over as my main one ever since Angel got grounded.
2. I highly disagree that there are only 50 interesting powers. I'm thinking here of Worm, which had hundreds of parahumans with distinct powersets, and which kept each one interesting. Sure, a lot are more specific than what we'd be looking for here, but similarly we have a lot more options we could choose from.

Quote

what's wrong with two characters having similar powers. My character is about all the perks of being tiny, going with a stealthy, analytic approach, that requires planning and great care. chances are the other character has an entirely different approach as to what to make of this power

Ah...well, take out "tiny" and replace it with some sarcasm/psychoanalysis/psychological warfare, and you've more or less got it.
Oh, and Will tends to make his plans' details up on the fly, but he does create an outline carefully. (Although that doesn't take much time for him, so...)

Quote from: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 01:44:31 pm

excuse me for assuming that the character that the first character on the list, with the relatively long description, that GWG posted as earlier was the main character,
while the character who is just named Will, and has no description besides "will get description when he matters" was the side character.

Different game. Different requirements.
And Angel is my main character, in theory.

Quote

I find slight offense that my entire charconcept gets canceled because people with a dozen characters called upon a similar ability without even making it a full sentence

1. The Slayers guys are gone. Thanks for reminding me to remove them.
2. Power isn't everything, Akroma. I'd say your character's height and background vary much, much more than her power.

Quote from: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 01:57:31 pm

I am not sure what you mean "he's better about characters"


like, grammaticaly, I can't discern coherent meaning from that

I have two or three characters, depending on if you count Nuriel as separate from Angel.
Others have half a dozen, or even a full dozen. And don't get me started on folks with summons...

Quote

if that ability is not differentiated enough from "always knows exactly what to do to solve any given problem", then I dont know what

It's not so much that he knows exactly what to do to solve every problem. It's...
Well, I based Will's power off of that of Tattletale from Worm. Your description is more like Contessa.

Quote from: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 02:02:37 pm

I mean, 3 characters is alright and all, we do that in our RPGs all the time, for the time when the party inevitably splits up and doing 3-4 solo-rpgs is boring, but playing 3 characters at once in the same scene?

crazy

Most folks have more.

Quote from: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 02:05:31 pm

you should consider opening an IRC channel, it would speed up the non-plot parts by 2000%

Two problems.
1. IRC chat can't really be saved.
2. Time zones. I think most of the players are in North America, but Elf is in England and wolfchild is in Australia if I recall correctly. This causes problems, since Elf is the GM and the player of the only characters Stella interacts with much are all usually asleep when wolfchild is awake.
There's a reason we use forums.

Quote from: Akroma on January 14, 2014, 02:14:27 pm

because most posts are just single sentences, not even containing actions. an actual chat would support a flowing dialouge, and not stuff like these mega posts that respond to 2 dozen posts at once, many of which are already on a different topic. you knows, time-paradox conversation

That has more to do with the fact that my time is broken up into little fragments.

Quote

also, I would have argued that, since the game seems to have a romance focus (or at least that was my impression so far), it would leave a plattform for action outside the confines of a pg-13 forum. then again, the thread is so huge and fast moving, I reckon Elf could post a long and intricate description of various non-rule conform activities and nobody would ever take notice of it

Well, we've already found a remarkably simple way to deal with it.
"Fade to Black."

dear god, all those time paradoxes, it's as if you had taken a photoalbum and pasted cuts of your face all over it. Well over 300 posts have been made, many of them almost a whole day ago by now. In that time, the conversation has gone through about 20 different topics. Isn't it enough to say that a character of a player who was away simply went off to do different things, and then hop in back into the thing by adressing just the latest topic?

Not if I can't justify it IC.
Besides, Will's dialogue is fun to write.

Quote

I'll just imagine that will occasionaly snaps out of a coma like trance, his mouth moving so fast that he delivers several hours of conversations within split seconds, like a bursting balloon, until he finaly slows down to an illegible tempo, as his mind finaly catches up with the flow of time

Meanwhile in B, Will kept taking offense in Hainuweles existance not being properly explained, and gets more and more agitated at the lack of explanation, to the point where he becomes insulting and appearantly has gained a severe dislike...

Eh, that's nothing too special. He likes needling everyone and doesn't much like liars, plot holes, or fourth-wall-breaking.

Tried it with Niefilhiem and the Phoenix Empire sacreds. Works out pretty well if you also have Nature 9 or 10 to give the regen affect. Then they just become trolly giants.

Goddamn, that sounds awesome. I know that one of the problems with giants is that they are extremely vulnerable to getting swarmed by smaller units, so Blood Vengeance sounds amazing for them... The only problem is that giants are expensive as hell, and poor scales aren't going to help anything. Still, I might give it a shot sometimes. Sounds like fun.

To be perfectly fair, your character is absolutely tiny.
And we don't want to be rolling dice every 5 minutes.

To be perfectly fair, my character runs on the same stats as everyone else. Else it would auto-default to a char with just 1 in every physical attribute and I suppose normal mind attributes. The 30 dex is to be interpreted that by comparison to this characters sheer agility, an average human is more or less just a slow and lumbering object, at times moving almost in slow-mo, furthermore henhanced by, for a human, being and incredibly difficult target. It takes the eyes and the movement speed of a speed-oriented magical girl to keep up with that.

Similar can be said about the aim. Imagine trying to hit a coin. It's a very small, difficult target, while for Hainuwele, it's about as much size as just an average target.
An analogy to a normal human hitting a coin is Hainuwele hitting half a grain of rice, maybe even smaller, depending on the value of the coin.


then again, the stats sort of come without referance. What would be the average dex for a normal human being, and how does 30 scale to that? Is 30 prince of persia level, or already going for sonic characters?  I have no clue, but I think 30 is a lot.

Quote

...Very tiny wheat wouldn't work. It would be about the same height as grass, if not smaller, and would most likely be overshadowed--literally--by common grass. Which also grows faster.

That's why you clean the field from non-desired plants, you know, just like in normal agriculture. Get a nice clean field, get rid of dem weeds. If weaponised ebola needles is among the first ideas for a weapon upgrade in this game, then tiny wheat is the least of the problems.

Because lol Andras.


Also, since nobody actually MADE a character that tiny, there's no way for me to handle that yet without me making a special rule set for tiny characters... -_-


30 is however usually fairly fit for a normal human and fast for a magic girl.

You are thinking ordinary sewing needles. I mean the long, moderately thick heavy duty stuff for more complicated crafts, refer to a a link to an image provided when the idea of weapon boosts first came up. The biggest of those kind of needles would be about an inch taller than the character, and wielded like a spear

And wasn't 5 in a stat average for a human being who only excersized occasionally? I remember that from the old thread when we had 25 points and 5 stats. And the whole thing was that Magic Girls grew stronger faster due to the magic altering their bodies to make then more efficient.

Don't try to take the whole thing apart by assuming she is just a human scaled down to size.

Well, If we're doing a blitz game, I can run a server with the Talis map on and tell you how to join it. Then we'd play through the turns and try to kill eachother as quickly as possible. I would guess that doing this on the weekend and maybe talking over skype would be the best idea.

Because if Elf controlled then Luna may learn something about demons or her power. All I've learned is she can summon demons if need be, and that I end up controlling them. Not what kinds of attacks, or the validity of summoning mid combat. And theres also the... Emp took the words right out of my keyboard.

that being said, if you wan't knowledge about demons, you have a perfectly good succubus, and plenty of excuses to tie it to the bed with some sturdy, if need be enchanted, chains. time for a field study

Also, a summon mid combat for Luna is...unviable. She's better off sticking to summoning them pre combat and hoping they don't expire before then, or hiding behind her allies, using magical weapons.

If its just us, I'd pick a randomly generated small or medium map. If your putting in 2 or 3 AI, then any map with 60+ Land provinces would work out. My Email is mc.arch3r@gmail.com if you want to send me the details later. And I still have 3 hours before I get home from school today.

Hey guys, I did the thing.

Spoiler: Bethany/St. Corebus (click to show/hide)

Name: Bethany Leventhorpe/St. Corebus the Clever, the patron saint of bards and wyrmslayers
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Apperance: Bethany is a 17 year old girl with long, brown hair and bright blue eyes. Shes about 5'8 and looks like she hasn't eaten in awhile, this accentuates his pale and somewhat unhealthy complexion. She is usually dressed in what she can get out of thrift stores and has a knife strapped to her side. She has a beat up guitar on her back and seems to have a determined look in her eyes. Despite her circumstances she is an upbeat person and believes that good will prevail and that she is an instrument of justice in the world.

Magic Appearance: A tall man that seems like he is glowing a goldish color. He appears to be dressed in the style of a medieval warrior and hefts a massive sword over his shoulder. On his back is a lute that he often plays. He is a happy person and is quick to laugh, though he does hate dragons and will not be slow to fight them.

Background:
Bethany was born to a poor family living in the slums of Boston and was raised a Roman Catholic. Her parents were good Catholics and attempted to raise their daughter as best they could, though Bethany sometimes doubted the notion of there only being one God. However in areas other than their religion Bethany's parents were kinda shit, they had very little food or money and Bethany often went hungry. At the age of 11 her parents were shot by a masked man in a failed corner store stick up and Bethany was left to fend for herself. She wandered the streets and busked using her fathers old guitar, usually staying in churches during the night. During one of her busking acts a man with wild eyes pushed a long knife into her hands and told her that "They was a comin" and that "He would help ya, hes chosen ya ta fight 'em". Shortly after that Bethany began to hear a man's voice in her head, telling her to help the weak and fight against cruelty. Thus began her trials as a vessel of a Saint.

Saint Corebus the Clever: A worshipper of Paman, the Goddess of Wrath and Valour during Antiquity, was a German tribesman who led his tribe against the horrors of Koallifi, the God of Misery and Warriors. He is most famed for his slaying of the Wyrm of Elbląg and his musical skill. He was slain protecting the people of the Hercynian Forest against a the Romans. One piece of iron from his sword was taken, melted down and made into a knife. This knife was passed through a cult of Paman in hopes that Corebus would pick a successor to wield his power, it appears he has. 
Stats:
STR- 10/15
END- 3/12
DEX- 15/14
MAG- 23/12
MIND-12/12
Power: Ability to inspire wrath and valor in her comrades. She can also cause areas to darken and torrents of rain to lash her enemies, along with other Powered by God(s) things.
Corebus health: 270
Bethany health: 75

We try to keep things reasonably realistic here. Well, except for the magic, we settle for "usually internally consistent" there.

who sais it's not magic?

When you don't at least keep the linky thing at the top of the quote, I don't have any clue what you're talking about. I need to look back in the thread, which adds extra time to the already copious investment I already put into this game.
My point is that, if your character is 4 inches tall, expect her to be acted upon as if she was 4 inches tall.

Quote

Quote

1. Little creatures aren't that much faster than big ones by default. Small creatures' small legs impede them. Moreover, the reason that flies and such are so good at dodging swatters has more to do with how their brains are wired than the size of any part of them.

Little creatures have a much lower inertia.

Their muscles are also much weaker, and again, their legs are absolutely miniscule. Proportionately, their running and jumping abilities are better, but on the same scale they are worse and roughly the same, respectively.
For proof: Take a child, perhaps 8-9. (Or a bit older--it depends on availability.) Take an adult. Have them both walk, or run if the child won't walk. If the child outruns the adult, it's going to be more due to motivation or endurance than speed. Or, take a tall person and a short person, see who walks faster. If there is a noticeable difference with such small differences in height (as a tall person, I can attest to this), imagine what one of them being more than a dozen times shorter than the other would do.

Quote

Quote

Also, I also put 30 in mind for a reason. Who sais small folk are not wired that way?

Well, the big thing is that flies perceive the world going about, oh, slightly over a dozen times faster. The fact that she can interact on a human scale indicates that this is not the case. Pretty much all the other reasons are rooted in anatomy and not neurology, largely the fact that flies have wings and are therefore not limited to the puny speed their puny legs offer.

Quote

Don't try to take the whole thing apart by assuming she is just a human scaled down to size. When magic can let you summon personas and what not, then naturaly occuring magic can create a tiny creature with incredibly dense and fast musculature, 20 times as efficent as normal muscles, and a brain that works images at 120 fps (number made up out of thin air)

Dense musculature would make things worse, 20x efficiency is absurd, and that brain speed (a bit slower than that of a fly but still 8 times faster than a human) would make it almost impossible to chat and connect with normal people (imagine watching this brief YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkisx_ifQAw) and it taking nearly a minute to play).

Quote

Quote

Which actually brings me to another problem: The location of this settlement of tiny people. If they are relatively isolated from big people, and in Australia, they are almost certainly in the Outback. Which is also known as "The part of Australia where we can't find any crops tough enough to grow economically.

It's remote, and concealed with glamour, so you could even walk right by it and not notice. The inhabitants usualy try their best to avoid contact, because unless you are a magical girl that knows no fear, something 20 times the size of you is usualy scary. Their economy is going through a small(heh, nudge, get it) unemployment crisis, all parties are blaming the other and the democratic process inefficent, so resolution of that problem will take a while.

And it's fertile, despite being in the driest part of by far the least fertile continent, because...magic? The more magic required for a society to not collapse, the less likely I am to approve of it. This applies double if the race itself requires extreme quantities of magic to work.

what's with all the discussion on what to roll and which player will controle the succubus if all it has been summoned for was to fade to black with it for a while?

Cado was presumably planning some kind of drama stuff, but that wouldn't work if the succubus acted of its own accord. And since it was summoned and controlled by a character originally born of perverted thoughts...

Going by the source which inspired my name, "wyrm" is just the second-eldest age category for dragons.
Dunno what it is here, but since "[Corebus] does hate dragons and will not be slow to fight them," it's a bit moot.

No... my family convinced a pagan god to become its protector and patron and now he shares mental problems with me.

"Thats so cool! Corebus sometimes shares his stuff with me. I don't think he likes dragons that much. I mean I think dragons are kinda cool but sometimes they can get really mean, you know?And sometimes he talks about going out and travelling the lands and I'm like "Dude, that sounds awesome but like I can't even drive" and hes like "Well Bethany you should just walk cause thats what we did in the old days" and but walkings like really old school and I just got a new pair of shoes that don't have holes in them and they have red laces. I really like red, its like super cool, I think it kinda reminds me of home because my parents would go to church a lot and like everything was all red and stuff and I used to like feel protected there, you know?"

this is getting ridiculous


we are playing a game about super powers and magic, where pretty much not a single character makes sense. For all intents and purposes, the ruleset of the game is almost entirely freeform, and since rolls can mostly even be made up by the player in question to suit the flow of the narrative, it's bordering on self-GMd. yet I am endlessly picked upon by GWG because my fucking magical character with fucking superpowers is not scientificaly correct. are you fucking kiodding me?




I tried to ignore his passive aggressive attempts to freeze me out best I can, but the game is not enjoyable when every day I get 2-3 extensively long and detailed posts, going through everything I say like a stalker, giving me crap for every single thing.


It's entirely fine in-character, because I get it, your character is an asshole that does nothing all day but give everyone crap. sure, enjoy your character.

but OOC, it's not even annoying, it's bordering on asocial


GWG, my character is not based on hard science. Get over it.

Turns out the prisoner and his two 'friends' are part of a corporation that deals with magic users behind the scenes. It's based in the Middle East, apparently. They took Tobias for some experimentation of a sort. It's unclear, based on how this man was just a grunt sent out to do pickup duty. No real clue on why they're in Australia, though. Perhaps branching out? Obviously the individual didn't know. And to answer Cyrielle's earlier suspicion, he is not associated with Al-Qaeda.

Note: Bethany doesn't't look like shes eaten in awhile.

I really shouldn't be this annoyed that you didn't read when I explained it, considering that was... a thread ago.

Before creation, there were two spirits, her and her brother/husband/lover/Shadow (terminology, as one would expect, doesn't work too well with this kind of thing), Void. Because Creation exists, she can never see him again. She's ah... gone slightly psycho over this.

It depends, really. Anywhere under 100 mana is back in fifteen, 200 is thirty, and anything after that is fifty.

These things should really be added to the Stat Checks list, IMO.

So 50 +  5xMAG (for mages) or 5x Mind (for Persona and probably Thera cuz she's a psychic)
Gotcha.

Yeah. Thera is on mind.

Also, added Chiron, Pestilence, Anansi and Loki to the avatar rotation.

Basically, Akroma is right on the meridians being disappeared, but Chiron took care of that and they'll regrow over time. However, on shortened lifespan...she'd be right if Chiron was exploiting the Hayflick limit. He isn't.

I'd say IRC would be very useful for fast action scenes. It benefits from being able to have the option to have a dice-bot, and it allows to carry the momentum of an actual action scene, that really should not drag out over 3 days and 50 forum pages (constantly broken up by various non-related shitchat by the characters that are not at the scene). it also adds a clear boundary of who is at that location and who is not


logs can later be copypasted into the thread


at least for important key battles, it would be a considerable option, as it actually adds some tension.




tension is impossible to built when scenes stretch over days, are constantly broken up, and dice rolls are unsupervised by the GM.


the scene would be handled much faster, so you wouldn't have to watch the thread for the entire day, and are less likely to miss half the battle because of work and sleep.


the only downside is gathering all relevant players at the same time, which is problematic with timezones

Camille presents Richard with a large wristwatch cast in shining brass. The inside is covered in a layer of soft....hold on, is that ermine fur? It might be ermine fur. Seems no expense was spared here, and it's certainly quite comfortable, easily clipping on to his wrist.  On the outside, each band features a different piece of artwork by Camille, all cute and catgirls and all that. The watch itself has a centerpiece of Camille and Richard holding hands, and the actual face above those hands has a lovely display that not only shows the local time, but unfolds into an impressively large display that shows the phases and positions of various moons, planets and stars in three dimensions. The whole thing is self-winding and oh yes. Doubles as a smartphone on the opposite side of the planet display.

Hinduism laughs at your tiny pantheon of only 8 or however many gods.

Not every pantheon has to be Hindu-sized.
Besides, factor in Shys'm Caes, other gods like Aedan, and the quite high probability that still other pantheons and gods exist elsewhere in the world...

this is getting ridiculous

we are playing a game about super powers and magic, where pretty much not a single character makes sense.

Explain.

Quote

For all intents and purposes, the ruleset of the game is almost entirely freeform, and since rolls can mostly even be made up by the player in question to suit the flow of the narrative, it's bordering on self-GMd.

Yes. So?

Quote

yet I am endlessly picked upon by GWG because my fucking magical character with fucking superpowers is not scientificaly correct. are you fucking kiodding me?

...Dude, you don't know me, do you?
I'm more focusing on everything except the magic. Note how I haven't complained about that the enclave is magically hidden, only what the inhabitants do in said enclave. And how many people somehow run across the enclave.
I'd be picking on others, but their stories are consistent with themselves and the setting. Yours? Not yet.
_{Also, I like scientific debate.}

Quote

It's entirely fine in-character, because I get it, your character is an asshole that does nothing all day but give everyone crap. sure, enjoy your character.

Hey, don't be absurd. He is trying to be better, you just don't notice because Will doesn't like people who murder ~40 innocent travelers, assist in the murder of countless more, and then blame it all on the travelers. Especially when he suspects these murderers of lying, and knows they're being illogical.
And on that note, at least Will isn't a racist murderer.

Quote

GWG, my character is not based on hard science. Get over it.

Well, at some point we have to admit that your character's entire race is a bunch of inexplicable beings inexplicably doing inexplicable things.
Lilliputians? Alright, I can live with that. Lilliputians that are so fast they can't be easily grabbed, but still capable of interacting with humans? Bit of a problem.
Hidden enclave? Fine. Hidden enclave that at least one person a month, and probably more, accidentally wander into, disappear in, and no one notices? No way. These murders are completely overlooked? HELL NO.

I really shouldn't be this annoyed that you didn't read when I explained it, considering that was... a thread ago.
Before creation, there were two spirits, her and her brother/husband/lover/Shadow (terminology, as one would expect, doesn't work too well with this kind of thing), Void. Because Creation exists, she can never see him again. She's ah... gone slightly psycho over this.

That's literally the best fitting answer.
Although technically she only created everything ever in the RotMG multiverse due to conflicting canon.

Hey, she was perfectly nice at first!
It was only after eons of not being able to be with the one person that actually mattered to her that she became the psycho bitch you all know >_>

Being bound probably didn't help her mood.
Especially since she would have to answer at least one person a year asking how an omnipotent creator managed to get bound. That seems like it would get annoying after a while.

yeah, that whole creation thing was a step in the wrong direction as a whole, brought more problems than it solved

Much like saying your character killed 30-odd people?

That's not taking into account things like clubs, hobbies, meals, special events, and spur-of-the-moment things like me watching Frozen earlier this evening. And when people are online...well, I'm pretty sure everyone else here is in at least a few other games, and most of us(?) are running one. And sometimes people get distracted doing something else.

Quote from: Twi on January 16, 2014, 06:32:42 pm

Anyways, *bops the everyone not in IRC with the Twi and Mcclay and Projeck in IRC*

*growls*

And since you have managed to eat up my entire day and night in free time that my computer wasn't dying without a cord, except a little time in the morning, putting me nearly a day behind on everything...I will subject you to my Facebook Frozen review.

Spoiler: Bwa ha ha! Please read. (click to show/hide)

Frozen over. Kinda disappointing. Spoilers for Frozen ahead, but I'll start with the non-spoilery stuff, so the spoilers should be hidden behind "Read More".

The music was apparently done by someone other than the guy who was doing it for most of Disney's history, and it shows. The music was lower-quality than what I was hoping, and sometimes cropped up in places it seemed...off. I wondered if there was a song quota or something.
I'll give a quick summation of some plot elements to make the rest make sense. The beginning of the movie showed a king, a queen (who would herein be referred to as "the old queen" if she ever came up again, since the bulk of the movie takes place after her daughter takes power), and their two daughters, the elder of whom had some kind of ice magic, which lead to her being secluded in her room after she came this close to killing her sister on accident. Needless to say, the younger sister had her memory wiped of the incident. It skips ahead in a montage of sorts to when the elder sister is being crowned queen. During the party, the younger sister meets the prince of the southern islands, who she falls in love with and gets engaged to. The new queen does not give her blessing to the marriage, on the basis that they just met. They get into a fight, with the younger sister releasing her irritation at never having spent time with her over the past several years. The older sister loses control and inspires fear from everyone at the ball, especially the Duke of Wesselton, the biggest trading partner of...I forget the name of the kingdom or city or whatever. Anyways, the queen flees, and her sister chases her. She meets Cristof, an ice harvester or something like that, a bit worried about his job vanishing since the queen's loss of control has caused an endless winter. Did I forget that? Anyways, the princess (Ann-something?) convinces Cristof to help her, since her own horse ran off a while back. This horse made it to town, which inspires the prince to send a party of people to capture/deal with the queen (it's not made clear what his plan was); the Duke has a couple of his men sent, with orders to kill the queen and end her "sorcery". This ends badly, things get worse, and I don't think the ending needs to be explained for the rest to make sense so I won't. Also, a living snowman joins the princess's party.
The plot was predictable. Once everything was set up, the only real questions were how the love triangle would be resolved (already pretty heavily weighted in one direction--the correct one, it turned out), how the movie wouldn't end as the prequel to Ice Age, and when the comedic relief snowguy would come in. And this was after a couple hope-inspiring subversions, like when the newly-crowned queen DIDN'T approve of her sister marrying a guy he met that day.
On the subject of the plot...even leaving out the princess's swift romance with the prince, things happen quickly. The queen changes from a dour secluded person to a cheerful exiled woman in an ice palace within minutes of finishing her run from town, and then once her sister mentions that she caused winter everywhere she quickly breaks down into an uncontrolled wreck. Cristof was initially annoyed at the princess for being an annoying, impulsive girl (she told him about the whole got-engaged-before-knowing-him-24-hours-or-learning-his-last-name thing, shortly before setting fire to his bedroll to drive off some wolves--it makes sense in context), but before long this...kinda gets forgotten, and he decides try and provide an act of true love to fix the princess's frozen heart within a couple days of meeting her, because you only need to wait 2-3 days before deciding on a true love. And so on.
The snowguy was annoying. I'll let this pass due to target audience, but still.
The characters, for the most part, acted like idiots. The worst was the aforementioned snowguy, which contributed heavily to his annoyingness, but I'll give that a pass since he's supposed to be a moron. I'll also give the princess's recklessness and naievity a pass for the same reason. However, there is no justification for the people enabling her recklessness, or the slow, weak reaction to the queen nearly killing people directly (with spikes of ice and a block shoving one off a ledge--they started it, but still, you'd expect a strong response), to the prince revealing his original plan to get power by marrying the princess (he's the youngest of 13 brothers and the queen wasn't likely to ever get married), then how it got derailed so he was going to let the princess die and kill the queen to end the winter and get power from fame from heroics, instead of giving her the kiss and expressing regret when it failed (that one irked me), to said prince claiming the princess was dead when she was dyING as opposed to making sure she was dead before saying so (Did this guy study under a Bond villain?), to the complete lack of diplomatic skill that I'll get to when I explain how the ending is about to turn bad. Really, the only rational character was the Duke, who wanted a swift end to this; his only screwup was agreeing (explicitly) to the princess running off after her sister.
There were moderately strong incestuous undertones between the queen and her sister. They were mostly only noticeable if pointed out for the most part, but if you noticed them, they made the "act of true love" that saved the princess all the more jarring, since it was the queen crying on the princess's suddenly-iced body. And this was the first time non-romantic true love was thought about...or was it? Try not to think too much about it.

And now, the ending. The queen has discovered that love could restore the frozen everything, which is something she should have thought of since the quote that made her realize this was also told to her when she was told about how dangerous her powers were, when she was learning how to control it. You'd think it would come up some time, perhaps around when it was mentioned that gloves would also help? Anyways, she removed the winter...that occurred in the middle of summer, and so probably killed crops and livestock around the kingdom and however far the winter reached. But, surprisingly, the famine is probably not going to be the queen's top worry. See, at the end of the movie, the princess punched the prince of the southern islands into the (recently-unfrozen) ocean; he was then tossed into a brig to be brought home, and the princess promptly began a romance with Cristof, a mere peasant--a further insult, since they were engaged. Sure, he acted like a jerk and admitted to planning to leave the princess to die and kill the queen, but the former was (apparently) beyond saving, the latter was in the process of escaping imprisonment and avoiding execution--not to mention adding more ice and causing a blizzard to further the freeze--and who do you think the southern islands are going to believe, the prince or the people who locked him in a brig? Moreover, the queen ended trade with Wesselton, their biggest trading partner, which will doubtless damage their economy AND clearly made the Duke furious. Between a duke and what is probably a foreign king, the queen will have quite a force angry at her for not only the winter, but other slaps-to-the-face. Oh, and the queen is using her magic for such "important" purposes as not letting the annoying snowman melt and letting people ice skate in the middle of summer, which should make it clear that she is still practicing sorcery, which towards the beginning (both in the exposition and when the queen loses control) is implied to be at least as feared, if not more, than it was in real-world medieval times. This means that there won't be a lot of opposition from the starving peasants of the kingdom, at least the ones that aren't ice skating. In fact, the prince would probably be welcomed; they probably don't know about how he deliberately chose to take the lives of both the queen and princess to increase his own fame and power, instead seeing a man who offered them hot soup and broth, cloaks, and tried to end the winter, shortly before the queen figured it out. And given that some of their queen's first acts as queen will lead to economic devastation...

Wow. That's a lot longer than I intended.

accupuncture IRL is only good for pain relief. we are talking about accupuncture in a world where kindergardners get possessed by burning angels.

Imagine it as a more rudimentary form of magic, (almost?) any form of live has a form of mana (or has per hainuweles interpretation, chi), that flows within their bodies and does various, usualy poorly understood things. wether the living being is able to controle this energy through willpower or unconsciously depends on the individual and the method (making the difference between muggles and mages). accupressure can tinker the flow of magic within the body, which can have a wide array of effects, usualy in the nature of buffs and debuffs. such buffs can very well include boosts to natural regeneration, even beyond what normal regeneration is usualy caple off (though is still slower than most healing magic), and resistance and decomposition of drugs within the body. It's a kind of magic that is mostly overlooked by humans, as they have plenty access to quicker, more immediatly impressive magic. I have gone for accupressure, because of the theme to the character: small cause, large effect

if you want to, you can consider years of specialised accupressure treatment as the reason why Hainuwele has by far surpassed the usual limitations of what the usual fingerling can do. over years, masters of the technique have given her body the speed and the strength needed to compete with giants. if you want to argue why they haven't done that to everybody, consider it an experimental attempt, a prototype, to check viablity and side-effects. until such treatment is ready for mass-usage, there are still many years to go, so for the time being, Hainuwele is unique among her kind.


as for the location of the settlement, I never said or even implied it was in australia, let alone the outback. I clearly said they didn't settle in a desert, because while remote, it is unviable.


if that explanation does not satisfy you, well, do as treebeard

Either barely anyone else ever kills a human, even the warriors who are defending the town--which makes your character heavily Mary Sue-ish--or your character is a bald-faced liar who is hoping neither Stella nor Will realize you're asking them to put two and two together to get 0.01.

Post by: Akroma on January 17, 2014, 10:29:16 am

you seem to have a problem seperating IC and OOC.


note how my my character description clearly mentions that she is swanky. boastful. In other words, she pads stories out. Those 40 might be 10, might be 4. The stories become more lively with every itteration. If in a week she retells the story of laying needles on Esters father, by that time the car that hit him might have become an auto-bot, and laying the needles might have become him being torn in half and being stitched together.


for someone with "super intuition", Will sure has a nack for taking everything that is said, ever, at face value.


-


note also how the effects of her needle work where in the character description from the very start, and I have heared no word from Elf that this is unapproved off. The problem is that super-accuracy is the name elf came up for it, but I have always made it clear from the start that my intention was to hit accupressure points and sensitive parts of anatomy in a small cause, big effect fashion.


you say it didn't have the effect I wanted, but Elf said no such thing. He made me roll, the action cost mana, and later posts did include acknowledgement of meridians being a thing. The problem is accupressure not being yet integrated into the canon-magic, so how it interacts with it is a bit unclear. which is fine, nobody here is a magic-theorist who has tried to find the formula that unifies all magic. See my post above in an attempt to further detail a possible explanation for the workings of accupressure.


I say again, that from my first post to know, *this* has always been and will remain the kind of power I had in mind for Hainuwele, anything else is a misunderstanding. For the future, refer to the post above as to what Hainuwele does. She is a very agile, but frail, status-slinger. Compared to all the gods that are running around, that is hardly an unacceptably broken power. Judging by how people immediatly suggested I should use a weaponised form of ebola that turns cells into CF3, I take it is actually a rather weak power.


The accupressure becomes increasingly difficult (higher DC to beat), the further removed the target is from human anatomy. Fingerling and Human anatomy are, except for the difference in scale, incredibly similar as far as the lay of the meridians go, as is the case most, but certainly not all, humanoids (two arms, two legs, one head, one torso), and becomes increasingly difficult the further removed the general built of the target is, requiring a bit of time, planning and a decent portion of luck to properly extrapolate(though mind 30 helps).

-

and no, she will not budge from the idea that defending her people was the right thing. you may chalk it up to the part where seeing something 20 times the size of you, even if it is just a child, pulling out limbs from her people like insects. The number of hickers wandering the region the enclave is in has been increasing in the last years, and will certainly increase if their existance becomes known. The sheer risk that comes along a large crowd of people is not worth taking. I personaly find it justifiable that Hainuwele would value the lives of hundreds of her own kind above the lives of just a handful of humans.


she is not the sociopath you make her out to be. imagine if humanity had gone into hiding from a world that is populated by 100 meters tall giants. Fear plays a huge part in this. She will claim otherwise, but to her, humans are fucking terrifying.


note however that she is trying to approach humanity not with the blade to make them fear fingerlings, but in an attempt to be a hero, to convince humanity that fingerlings are more than just toys - a viewpoint that seems to even exist in this very household. people are constantly picking her up, and find no fault in it whatsoever. For a normal fingerling, that is fucking terrifying, and to a degree degrading. pride plays a big role in this

That occurred to me, too, but seriously. Killing 40 people?

Think about this logically. You have discovered that someone you met yesterday is a mass murderer. She shows no remorse for this, and in fact tries to flimsily justify her murders by claiming that accidentally wandering into an unmarked, invisible enclave is a crime which deserves to be punished by death, because this enclave cannot (say) incapacitate the people before wiping their memories and dropping them off outside, or if that's too complex put up a freaking sign. Also, she has revealed herself to be lying, because when you consider the numbers she's given to make it sound less bad, they don't add up. What do you do?
A. Ignore it and cheerfully accept the serial killer into your circle of friends!
B. Call the police!
If you chose A, congratulations! You have not thought this through.

(Also note that I'm not saying "WE MUST ALL KILL HAI ALSO AKROMA IS A SOCIOPATH," I'm just saying "WTF? Will's calling the cops, by the way."

Look at the numbers. Either Hai is a major Mary Sue warrior who is almost single-handedly responsible for keeping the humans out of her enclave (meaning she shouldn't have left, and should be kicked out of the game and replaced* before the Sueness gets out of hand), or she is lying big time about how many people her people kill.
*By another character of Akroma's, I mean. Just because your first character is a serial killer possible Mary Sue doesn't mean you should be banned from the game.

Quote from: Akroma on January 17, 2014, 10:29:16 am

you seem to have a problem seperating IC and OOC.

Oh? I'm pretty sure Will is IC as opposed to murder as I am OOC.

Quote

note how my my character description clearly mentions that she is swanky. boastful. In other words, she pads stories out. Those 40 might be 10, might be 4. The stories become more lively with every itteration. If in a week she retells the story of laying needles on Esters father, by that time the car that hit him might have become an auto-bot, and laying the needles might have become him being torn in half and being stitched together.

Well, how is Will supposed to know that? Now, that would be mixing IC with OOC.
Not to mention, she's still definitely a murderer.

Quote

for someone with "super intuition", Will sure has a nack for taking everything that is said, ever, at face value.

Intuition requires something to go on. Besides, he's as much tearing down Hai's claims as anything.
Also, it's pretty clear that she has killed people. Four or forty, this is a felony.

Quote

note also how the effects of her needle work where in the character description from the very start, and I have heared no word from Elf that this is unapproved off. The problem is that super-accuracy is the name elf came up for it, but I have always made it clear from the start that my intention was to hit accupressure points and sensitive parts of anatomy in a small cause, big effect fashion.

Well, I'm sorry I don't automatically sense the intention of everything you try to do. Maybe you should have made this more clear? Especially since enhanced accuracy is already a pretty useful power?
Also, acupressure is acupuncture with massages replacing needles. You're not doing that.

Quote

you say it didn't have the effect I wanted, but Elf said no such thing.

Look at the scene again. You attempt to remove the drugs from Marten's system, but USEC continues to have MArten act as though he was under the drugs' effect. I'd call that a pretty big failure.

Quote

I say again, that from my first post to know, *this* has always been and will remain the kind of power I had in mind for Hainuwele, anything else is a misunderstanding. For the future, refer to the post above as to what Hainuwele does. She is a very agile, but frail, status-slinger. Compared to all the gods that are running around, that is hardly an unacceptably broken power. Judging by how people immediatly suggested I should use a weaponised form of ebola that turns cells into CF3, I take it is actually a rather weak power.

Well, it may not be overpowered, but it would help if it was explicitly stated.
Consider Angel/Nuriel. Fire sounds usefully dangerous, but really, it isn't. Its only applications that will be useful often are combat, and there are plenty of foes immune or resistant to it, plus the constant risk of collateral damage. Am I trying to find some implied power that I never said Nuriel could do?

Quote

The accupressure

Acupuncture. Stop using words you don't know what they mean.

Quote

becomes increasingly difficult (higher DC to beat), the further removed the target is from human anatomy. Fingerling and Human anatomy are, except for the difference in scale, incredibly similar as far as the lay of the meridians go, as is the case most, but certainly not all, humanoids (two arms, two legs, one head, one torso), and becomes increasingly difficult the further removed the general built of the target is, requiring a bit of time, planning and a decent portion of luck to properly extrapolate(though mind 30 helps).

Guess what? You're never going to be using acupuncture on non-humanoids. That's slightly more of a limitation than saying that Nuriel's fire can't set stone on fire.

Enough.

GWG, Akroma, settle it in the PMs or I will lock down the OOC. I refuse to let this thread be shut down because of another Vornar incident. Am I clear?

I'll post this, because of how much time I spent and the fact that I couldn't see your request until after I had invested the time (seriously I got ninja'd like a dozen times), and I refuse to stop trying to get Hai in jail for killing however many people, but if Akroma is willing to let the argument stop there I'm fine with it.

Post by: Akroma on January 17, 2014, 10:52:05 am

that depends on the accupuncture point in question, and the intended effect of the attack.



consider full magical blockade a status effect on it's own, rather than a side-effect. One would have to purposefully try to block it, if the target has a vast array of magical techniques, several needles might even be needed.



of course there is never a guarantee that accupressure will not have unforeseen side-effects on the targets magic, especialy if it has a different layout from standard humanoids.



that is to say if Hainuwele lays needles upon odd creatures, feel free to add 1d6 minus 1d6 sideffects of your choice, with their severity probably depending on the quality of the diceroll. can range from an annoying noise itching to the spells element being reversed, and whatever else you can think off. can be positive, can be negative. the further removed the creatures anatomy is from humanoid anatomy, the odder the effect (and of course the higher the chance of the needle doing nothing at all, or ONLY the side effect happening, without the intended main effect)



but long answer short, blocking magic entirely is a difficult task, and would not automaticaly happen.



unless of course you insist on it

----------

and I have to add that nobody even trying to understand the viewpoint is rather inflexible to the point of being ignorant, but that is pretty much Hainuweles complain against human nature as a whole. All they see are the human lives lost, but not the many, many more lives lost among the fingerlings, because appearantly, the lives of small people count less.

it's sorta like when news give a report "the earthquake leveled 20 buildings, hundreds are dead and even more injured or homeless. Among the victims are 3 (nationality of the place where the news are broadcasted) tourists". As if those 3 make the difference.

to fingerlings, a human is close to a natural disaster, and those have to be prevented. if humanity could build a bomb that can stop hurricanes from reaching the mainland, they could.

I can allow the auto magic-block, but keep in mind that it would not work on Personae or certain creatures (dragons, golems). Oh, and superpowers are definitely out of the blocking system.

For Personae, she's utterly helpless unless she neutralises their owner, but for superpowers, she can roll a more difficult MIND check to stop them using the meridians.

well, obviously blocking superpowers is more difficult, because without an actual precedent of such a power being blocked and writting that down for hainuwele to study, it's mostly conjecture and guesswork on how one would block such a power




he shoots fireballs so...attack where the energy flows into the hands? attack on a point that would lower his body temperature? attack a point that "cools down" the mind?




in such a case the best bet would probably trying to cause a mana-leak (assuming that is possible?) and then just dodge the fuck out of the way until the enemy runs dry

Difficult. With Kyles intention unclear, you can imagine how being put in someones mouth is going to be interpretet. It was more or less a life and death situation, and Hainuwele probably blames herself for that for not letting her guard down and not dodging in time, afterall, that is perfectly normal human behaviour, that is to be expected.
Had you not disarmed her, she would likely have tried to kill you, just to survive. Note that compressing the cartoid arteris is...unless you are a super-resilient magical giboy, is indeed a life threathening situation.




picture this chokehold that movie characters use all the time to quickly get rid of people stealthily. they dont go unconscious because of the lack of air, this is the artery being compressed.






then again, at that time I think everyone seriously misjudged the size of Hainuwele, because 10 centimeter is hardly something that you can easily put in your mouth. even without Hainuwele struggling, it is a serious choking hazard, even if you chew to make her more swallowable, all those bones...

I'd imagine the police would give it a short consideration because of wills fame, but then realise that


- there is no proof to his accusation


- there are no bodies to be found


- happened likely outside of their jurisdiction


- there is no international warrant


- she also ran around city all day capturing criminals and giving medical attention to people with accidents


- at best they would do the only thing they legaly can, hold her for 24 hours, and then drop the case, because all that is raised against her is a simple accusation. if that was enough to start an investigation, then the legal system would have serious problems.





but I will leave that to Elf


anyway, while I am tired of pointing it out again and again, when a human appears behind the glamour, there is always the question that remains "will this be the one who marks our end?". You may call it overly paranoid, but for a civilisation that has gone through enough terror through humans, that is a valid concern. Even if the chance is small, who wants to be that made the decision to leave the human go away in piece, and then see the events unfolds in the negative. The potential damage is too large to make a gamble like this.

remember, viewpoint is key. For a humans point of view, that is a terrible thing to do, but for a fingerling, it is an act of sheer desperation for survival. for a human, a single guy who drunk a few too many beers is a laughing matter, for a fingerling, it's a tsunami that can wash the city away. And look at human society, and tell me that people getting drunk and then doing horrible stuff, or a child that simply does not realise what he is doing is a bad thing is a rare exception that you can guarantee will never ever again. Making the location known will attract more and more attention, and more and more people will come, and for each and every one of these, you have to ask yourself the question "could this be the one?"

what kind of government, entrusted with the lives of an entire race, would take this kind of risk?


they are not killing people for fun or malice, they are trading few lives to save many. as I said, a single bad egg can spoil the entire cake. it's a question of responsibility to make harsh choices.

Will also has a confession. And doing good doesn't make crimes not get charged; you'll get thrown into jail for murder no matter how many murders you catch.

And he's working on finding evidence. After all, the bodies can't be far from their settlement, which will be a fairly small area where a suspicious number of people have disappeared over the history of Australia...

Yes, because there weren't multiple high-level magicians plus one near omnipotence on her home turf there.

"They have killed thousands in defense of humanity, I killed far less in defence of my kind. They have done the very same thing, they took lives that were equal to their own, to make sure not even more lives would be eradicated."

Because the invading aliens wouldn't listen to "Danger! Do Not Enter!" signs posted around Earth.

Quote

"And had humanity been on constant look out for scouts, and shot them down before they turned back to report, who knows, the entire invasion could have been avoided."

From what I recall of what we learned after the invasion, the Layar invasion was due to some Layar being bored and warlike and trying to conquer Earth, which they knew about well in advance. They probably knew about Earth before Earth could send a tin can into space, let alone weapons.

Quote

"So don't give me crap about my cause being evil and cause being noble. Your lives don't value over alien lives either. You defended yourself, and had the right to do so. We are defending ourselves, and have the right to do so. The difference is that you are more successful."

And that we only kill when we need to. And that we don't kill every Layar who comes to our land due to some Layar being destructive. Isn't that right, Tabella?

I'd expect a mix of laws against it in a futile attempt to get controle over the situation, mostly out of fear of the sheer possibilities it would pose, as well as thousands of projects to militarize it as fast as possible, before anyone else does

Or at the very least some kind of Anti-magic task force. You know, specifically equipped and trained to deal with magic users.

Sen could probably wipe them out with a demon or two. Then she would just wipe them out with a world fire spell. Then she would go face to face and stab them with paper.

Australia is the most liberal, what with them, Japan and Switzerland being the sites for Layar attacks being countered, so they're pretty sympathetic towards magic. America remains neutral, but generally leans towards keeping magic contained. China is trying to weaponise it, but failing, in part due to them not wanting to be weaponised and there being so few mages.
Britain doesn't really care. Greece is generally supportive, in part due to being generally one of the biggest hubs of magic in the world, along with Ireland and Japan.

on a side note, Wolfchild, "ARE YOU NOT LISTENING" is not fair if you are going to cause time paradoxes via inserting yourself into events that have already happened.


the discussion and the events might have taken a different course had Stella actually said any of these things, but Hainuwele not listening to events that happen in a different timeline is simply not fair, and your and/or your characters agitation over her arguements being ignored is really a point where one should step back and maybe consider finding a way to explain the characters absence and then reacting towards whatever comes as an answer to "what the hell happened"




I can and will not interact with time paradoxes on such a scale, it renders the last 8 hours entire moot

are you ever worried that characters being too powerful and influential makes most events arbitrary? I mean, what's the point if almost all problems happen to have a ready solution at hand? Like the car crash incident. Immediatly, 3 seperate healers spring up, at least one of which has healing abilities to such a legendary extend, they are just a sliver short of necromancy

Because Iris is basically used for nothing other than invading privacy when it would be impossible to do otherwise.

Chiron will probably make a much less powerful and easier to apply version for combat, increasing regen, but it isn't going to regrow your arm. Making more of the actual Panacea is both ridiculously hard and requires about a month just for the ingredients to ferment.

Sorry about being late. I was convinced (read "bribed") to work a bit longer to cover for not enough people showing up to close up.

((yeah, convenient dice roll here. fine. be the giant monster that invades and helpless race, you hero))

How dare you assume to know my plan? Especially when your assumption is pretty much at odds with virtually everything Will has said?
The least he will do is set up a "DANGER--Do Not Enter" sign around the enclave. The most he will do is reveal the existence of the mouse-folk to the world and campaign for proper rights and protection.
...
Okay, I suppose having Shys'm Caes make them a planet of their own to live on is something he would be willing to do, but the above is the most he's likely to do.

Quote

((and to be precise, Wulingyuan (http://www.8thingstodo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Wulingyuan.jpg) national park. Whomever said that she just walked to the nearest town. I clearly said divination and omens have made this town the target of her journey, nothing of how long it was. I did mention she doesn't get the significance of the place either))

Well, I think my pre-roll assumption that she came from Australia was pretty acceptable. How the heck did she cross the Pacific Ocean?

Quote from: Akroma on January 17, 2014, 05:06:49 pm

"Please, Kyle, do you have a moment? Everyone is just busy with getting ready with the dinner party, nobody will listen..."

Will's usually willing to chat.
Oh, wait, that would turn into an argument.

Quote from: Akroma on January 17, 2014, 05:25:20 pm

"The guards are on highest alert since I have been gone, they *will* attempt to kill him. Wether they are able to or not, I can not judge Wills power accurately, but there will be a blood bath."

Okay, that's just insulting. Why the hell did you assume Will would go alone? He would bring Qi (since it's in China), dragon-Stella, probably Nuriel, possibly some kind of police (less likely in China) and anyone else who wanted to go.

Quote

"And it doesn't end there either. The deaths happened under chinese law, and the chinese, as you can maybe imagine, might be the worst people to judge those that Will is going to capture, if he doesn't outright kill them. They will have no sentiment for the situation my people are in, and without a doubt will make moves to eradicate our entire enclave, if only as not to appear weak."

I think you're confusing China with North Korea.
China's no utopia, but it's not two parts insane to one part evil like North Korea seems to be, or three parts evil to one part card-carrying like your description is. Even the China from Will's world isn't...okay, maybe that one, but he basically comes from a world composed primarily of the cheesiest cliches from superhero comics.
But yeah, his plans are going to be...changing.

((400.000 is impressive? I am certain that counts as endangered, especially with the small area they are in))

Maybe if they counted as an insect. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, but I'm pretty sure rodents (closest approximation) aren't endangered until the thousands at most.
Also, 400k is slightly smaller than Miami, Florida. Or a bit larger than St. Catharines, Ontario, if you're Canadian.

a) I have asked you to stop with the entire OOC "stalk everything hainuwele sais ever and add your two cents". the passive aggressiveness has sparked arguements before, and Elf wants no arguements. it is ruining the fun entirely, and I ask you nicely, leave me alone. in-character do the hell you want, but OOC, you are becoming insult

I'm "becoming insult"? You're the one who's accusing my character of "becoming the kind of evil that he usual[l]y fights," and refusing to justify this statement with any kind of explanation.

Quote

b) if your power works on what he knows, then good luck. some of the connections you have made are incorrect, or simply pure assumptions. others dont take the boastful part into account.

You know what? It doesn't matter that much, overall. There's enough grains of truth in the lies. Even a single death every few years--aka, enough to make having warriors trained in fighting humans (or any non-hunter warriors, if there aren't wars between Fingerlings) worthwhile--in a small enough area would be a sufficient trend to be noticed. Oh, and unless you've talked with Elf extensively about what the Fingerlings' settlement is actually like...we only have your claims to go on.

Quote from: Akroma on January 17, 2014, 04:40:36 pm

of course it is not an accurate reflection. no single person of a whole race can give an accurate reflection

the common denominator is that most are absolutely terrified of humans because of the perceived threat, however real that may be. how they deal with that on their own is different, but as a whole yes, the rulers have decided that silencing those who find their location is for the good of the kind

So...basically, the impressions we're getting are correct.

Cyrielle and Kyle got ones from Abraxas and Pestilence, and Ester, Belladonna, Maria and Selina got them from either Anansi or Chiron.

And Will didn't get one from anyone.
He really needs to get in contact with Abraxas.

Hey Elf, what are the various views (cultural and legal) on magic around the world? Like, what does society as a whole think of it, since it's obviously not secret anymore.

Well, if Elf doesn't contradict my statements...
People are afraid/worried about magic--especially due to magical terrorists, including a couple warlords in Africa--but most nations haven't passed many laws regarding it (past simple, monopurpose ones), except the US which banned it. However, magicians are often seen as celebrities thanks to the first ones to get front-paged being the Northdale 5.
Past that, I haven't thought much about it and Elf seems to have thought even less about it.

As an American, I find this highly insulting!
China's too big of a trade partner for us to engage in an arms race without significant reason, and the politicians only try to get re-elected with things that work.
And I have no idea how it would get them more oil. Unless there's a magical girl who generates oil.

Is it still overused if n=1? Or if n is negative?

Not recently. What caused this specific outburst?

Probably not, but if n=1, then it would be more appropriate to say that it glowed like the sun rather than possessing the glow of a sun. As for imaginary numbers, well, that certainly would be interesting.

Yeah, I need to figure out whether Richard and Camille are going to.
Whilst I'd find it amusing for him to go and interrogate deities, Cyrielle isn't very close to him, or most of the other player characters for that matter. hence why he was lower on the priority list than her siblings, childhood friends and people she had more interaction with.

Will never entered the television.

deciding that on his own is pretty rude. Hainuwele is adamant that equality includes her peoples right to make their own decision and decide their own fate. No giant has the right to impose a fate on them just because they can  - that's why Hainuwele was so agitated when Will was "protecting" Meme. Meme had not asked Will to please look at she doesn't do something potentialy bad, Will just does, and thus denies her making her own decision

Will's in the middle of a planning blitz. He'll let others get a word in edgewise once he's decided what to say.

Also, he never likes being ignored and having someone else asked about a plan for a problem he was in the middle of finding a solution for.

"Errr..I am sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but if you are nervous, there's an old trick my mother taught me. She would always us that on me when I was nervous as a kid before all those dreadful school plays. I could activate an accupressure point that is linked with confidence. For a few hours, you will be overflowing with confidence. It's as if everything is possible and nothing out of reach. It should be a reliable way to keep you from stuttering, blushing or even fainting. It calms the mind to a serene state where embarrasement is just a figment of imagination."

Wait, do you have acupuncture or a "Do Anything To People Button"? It's one thing if you at least stick to what acupuncture is supposed to be able to do--ie, cure diseases, deal with toxins, maybe screw up chi/mana. Maybe maybe give them a disease. But confidence?

Again, I'm advocating you just stick to the source material rather than making crap up. Like you have been overall. Like with the "1-4 billion species already driven extinct by man" when the highest estimates of all the species that have ever existed are in the low hundreds of millions.

As much as I'd like to remain unbiased, both of you have a point.
However, there may be at least one billion extant species, counting super naturals (unicorns) and cryptids (drop bears may or may not be a thing). Really, it doesn't matter.

However, neither know that as technically, none of them have seen as much as a drop bear.

In such a high-power game, where most characters are so broken that I would not even use them as bbogs for most games, accupuncture is simply too weak. if you like, consider ancient chinese medicine a knock-off by the few tidbits they learned from the fingerlings hundreds of years ago, a time history books barely talk about.




the fingerlings just happen to have a much firmer grasp of the full extend of what re-routing the flows of mana within the body might do




that being said, as far as *source material* goes, someone being constantly hyper-embarrassed at everything might very well be a severe unbalance of ying and yang

It's not your power, it's how you use it.

Selina's power, which lets her theoretically create any kind of object imaginable and has been shown to create various types of enchanted items. Played right, she could easily overpower the rest of the players. She does not.
Angel/Nuriel's power seems useful, but as I've noted, it's extremely limited in ability. Sure, it's not bad in combat, but it is bad at limiting collateral damage, and it has practically no practical use. This should put her towards the back of the pack, but it does not.
Gintama, Matt's alternate form, had the power to make people drunk. Situationally useful but extremely weak. He was the Kyle of his era.

And seriously, if all you can think of for "Enhanced Aim" is "Acupuncture!", you aren't thinking things through well enough. That's a killer in combat. You should be able to take down pretty much any kind of combat vehicle with a well-aimed pebble, kill people with a single blow, and so forth. Sure, not many non-combat applications, but until you think of one for fire magic that is reasonably likely to come up and isn't overshadowed by, say, flashlights, you have no room to complain.

And this isn't a game focused too much on "balance" as much as "fun". Which comes more from roleplaying.

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

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.

People are lazy and have trouble paying attention to that kind of stuff sometimes. Plus it helps to never assume things, yadda yadda.

Also, Qi should probably send you guys a postcard or something if you're going to help Hainuwele's village. Just so that it can get involved, of course (plus to drop hints about the plot I'm working on).

Actually I shouldn't be heuhing so much, seeing as I was going to call it quits a couple of turns ago anyways. Though then again, I did just get my assassin hero...

Anyways, I'm cool with calling it quits if you are. Besides, I really want to play a co-operative disciple game with you and Sanure since I like playing with people more than against them.

Luna and Will haven't been handcuffed.

Which is going to happen as soon as the pillow is removed or kicked out of the house, because it was never associated with the group so it is reasonable for it to be labelled as an intruder.

Timeskip. I prefer Angel to Will.

Angel's still grounded until next time Nuriel is convinced to break out.
This will probably continue to be the case until either a major threat shows up of Angel's parents get killed/comatose/etc and she has to be adopted by Arya.

To chop the pillow, not Will's hand, you idiot!

Well...what was Will going to do? Drag Luna across the room to compliment her? And frankly Aria can smooch whoever she wants, as long as it isn't Will, (wolfchild's) Stella, underaged, or without consent (those categories would probably overlap), Will won't care.

Which reminds me. Angel's going to be sad she didn't get invited.

There's a difference?

Quote from: The Horse's Mouth (TV Tropes)

The Ditz is a character whose defining characteristic is profound stupidity.

And no one's claiming Kyle doesn't know stuff. He obviously does. He just makes poor decisions despite his knowledge. And that tendency, my dear kj, is called "stupidity".

Quote from: kj1225 on January 18, 2014, 07:47:32 pm

Kyle puts his drink down before he turns stupid.

This character would be nothing more than The Ditz, except they have one area of expertise in which no one can beat them. When that skill or talent is needed, they suddenly switch gears from airheadedness to hyper-competency. Sometimes they don't even know that they're doing it.

Given Kyle's success in the field of building things that has been shown perfection on day one is to be expected.

Fair point.

Not very recently actually. And Kyle didn't understand why she was nervous about his writing.

And why didn't you guys do anything when I clearly said that Will was looking for someone to talk to? Because aside from jumping into the middle of a conversation with some witty one-liner or something, I'm not entirely certain how to get some kind of conversation started.

My point is that Kyle's stupidity isn't an isolated incident here and there. Poor judgement is one of the core elements of his character.

And whenever it isn't screwing everything up, it's kinda endearing. More so than arrogance.

How are you measuring the colossalness of the stupidity? However you count it, deciding to kill Will--who has a half-dragon girlfriend and is liked fairly well by most of the cast--due to protesting giving a psychopath (who threatened to, in order, kill Will's children in front of him, lock him in a room with their corpses in it, and have him starve to death) a superhuman, extremely durable body, probably qualifies.

What else would you do in the afterlife, if you have an eternity ahead of you. soon you will have tried pretty much every activity at least once, so might as well watch earth-tv

Or exploit the fact that you can't die or get addicted to anything and thus take enough narcotics to overdose a living person and THEN watch television.

maybe Hataweme has a thing for soap-operas and/or watching under-age magical girls all day doing who knows what. In either case, watching marias household might be a good waste of time

I would have gone with hallucinogens. They can make even something like Two Broke Girls funny, or possibly make How I Met Your Mother meet the praise so many have given it, at length, when I was busy with the actual lab in the next row.

Hataweme suddenly sounds like a very amusing hero. You should go talk to her. Or maybe him? Get another male in the party?

So, always.

Until trouble starts, of course. Then he turns into a highly dangerous little warrior, with nightshade, curare, and other poisons, and the skill needed to kill, paralyze, or otherwise incapacitate his foes.

Then he goes back to normal.

The handcuffs deconsolidate and dissipate. It wasn't amusing anymore now that Will was so heavily inebriated anyway.

Goddammit. The inebriation was supposed to make the handcuffs more amusing!
Dammit Cado, why were you offline?

Oh my, so much for @USEC_OFFICER's attempts at keeping her heterosexual...

In his defense, it was due to voluntary mindrape.


EDIT: Could Cyrielle re-handcuff Luna and Will now that Cado's on?

Also, Keith has probably been woken up several times by Bethany getting up. Right now she is huddling up agianst him, probably looking kinda of scared and disturbed.

Keith sleeps heavily. Which is to say I don't want to do any RP till the next time skip.

Quote from: wolfchild on January 20, 2014, 06:10:50 am

((OK, so I can finally get onto the internet what did I miss?, and no work for a little bit))

Party: Will got separated from Luna after being teleported into Aphrodite's lap; Aphrodite dressed him up in a dress and teleported him into the middle of the crowd, at which point he quickly fled (with Cyrielle's help). Cyrielle got the suit he was wearing back so he could change. Kyle handcuffed Will to him with handcuffs that would explode if tampered with, then kissed Will and got punched and kicked once each before Ashley teleported the cuffs into the void and separated them. Will tried to see if he could drink enough alcohol to make him forget that.
Also some people talked. Will was the person there with the most drama going on, I think.
Plot: Let's see. There's this gang, the Black Vipers or something stupidly stereotypical like that, who were kidnapping (and raping? I seem to recall someone saying she was lying) this one girl the group found and adopted. More on her later. Anyways, the Vipers had a base, until they started to tell Bismuth who they were and got strangled by their own tattoos. Because cyanide pills are for squares. Also, a magical-person-killing serial killer was mentioned and may be connected. Back to the girl: She's an immortal regenerator from late-19th-century London.

By the way, I have many questions.

Normal students. Who happen to be squishy. And not at all capable of fighting off large tiger-sized things with poison stingers for tails.

The school wasn't called because they attacked when everyone was there. The other magic folks are handling crime like Kyle is, and the police...well....police being police, they've probably been called.

Normal students. Who happen to be squishy. And not at all capable of fighting off large tiger-sized things with poison stingers for tails.

And only capable of running from them when two PCs show up to tell them to run?

The school wasn't called because they attacked when everyone was there. The other magic folks are handling crime like Kyle is, and the police...well....police being police, they've probably been called.

Wait, I thought that this:

Quote from: IamanElfCollaborator on January 20, 2014, 11:29:20 am

When everyone heads off to school....well....
...lets just say it is absolutely freaking crazy.
When I say crazy, I mean a manticore or three happens to be prowling the school grounds.

with the lack of time passing being even suggested, meant that the school was like this when they got there.

Quote from: Akroma on January 20, 2014, 11:41:23 am

manticores? well, what kinda DC is that on the acupuncture scale?

I mean, leaving out wings and scorpion tale, the base is still a standard vertebrate, so there are paralells to work with. especialy with the base being a big cat, fingerling kinds second best known enemy

Doesn't she focus on humanoids?
...Did anyone IRL ever even think of meridian lines for non-humanoids?

And let's face it, manticores are magical creatures. The scorpion tail and the wings heavily suggest that there isn't any reason to believe they have internal anatomy significantly paralleling that of mundane creatures.

Also, it was like that when they got there, they called the police before they got there and they'll probably get there in ten turns.

Hainuwele does gardening, because the one time the plot happens, she has no legitimate reason whatsoever to be there. Can't somebody at the school use their cellphone to call for backup?

Didn't we say we gave Hai a mindlink girdle or something? She should hear us mind-chatting.
And I don't think anyone makes cell phones small enough for her to use.

I did explain that the further something is removed from humanoid anatomy, the harder trying to figure out where to stab becomes.


As far as body parts go, there is often parallels to go by, eyes being eyes, noses being noses, fingers being fingers, etc. it takes some planning and usualy multiple tries, and has a much higher chance of either having no effect, or side-effects, or simply an entirely different effect, at Elfs discretion, so I will leave rolls and the result of such rolls entirely up to him




but hey, the internet sais that their fur is impenetrable, and that their only weakspot is the inside of their mouth. That renders acupuncture pretty much a moot point, but nevertheless makes hainuwele either the best or the worst person to fight them, depending on how determined, and on how fire/poison breathing the enemy is


the esophagus leads right past the heart, you just gotta stab at from where the beating comes from when it is at it's loudest




and then hope it dies quick enough to leave time for an escape and a thorough bath later

The biggest problems are:
1. The body parts are connecting funny. Human head, leonine body which needs to be twisted on the inside for the wings to be more than ornamental, and a tail from the very not-vertebrate scorpion...I'm guessing the only way to find most meridians, especially ones that "should" be in the neck, back, or base of the tail (near the "connective" points of various creatures) would be trial-and-error.

That explains why it was killed by putting hot lead down its throat.

You have ten seconds or so from mouth to stomach. And you'll be pummeled by peristalsis. It ain't as easy as it sounds. And even if you hit, you'll probably end up in the stomach, and/or suffocating.

Why would combat pigeons be capable of flying that much faster than normal pigeons?
1. If you'll notice, warhorses and racehorses don't have much in common as far as horse breeds go.

it is trained not to immediatly flee from dangerous situations, fly somewhat steady and coordinated, as well as to some (simple) commands, like a whistle to make them fly by so you can jump back on


basic idea is that flying over a human and jumping down right on top of them is many times faster than climbing all the way up. and the most interesting things to stab, well, they are usualy not found right around the ankles




unless you go with the more traditional tactic to make them fall, of course

Wait, how is Kyle riding the manticore?

1. Feline bodies aren't ideal for riding.
2. The wings would prevent you from sitting in the ideal location, forcing you to sit either up by the neck or down by the pelvis. Or on the wings or head or tail or something silly like that.
3. Aren't there sharp quills somewhere in the mix?

That's all well and good, but it'll still take at least 10-15 minutes to get to the school. Under ideal conditions, and assuming the pigeon isn't slowed by having a little person on top of it.

All attacks deal double damage to it and it can't move while downed. It usually happens when an attack exceeds 40 damage, or it's weak to the attack. This one did much more.

ITT: everybody speaks in foreign languages and Kyle has a very fucked up set of values.

Indeed. I doubt that it'll affect Kyle's memetic sex god status though.

It will if he is upset at everyone for killing perfectly nice animals.

"Perfectly nice" animals don't try to kill people, kj.

Well now you're just being obnoxious and fourth-wall-breaking, GWG.

Kyle's power doesn't enhance his aim, now does it?

Back in SA, Will successfully shot a supervillain who was basically incorporeal whenever she wasn't jumping (she turned corporeal to avoid sinking into the center of the earth), with basically every shot, crippling her.
Also, it would help him not get shot.

Besides, any lethal way to settle an argument is stupid, because it a) ends with someone dead and b) doesn't have anything to do with the subject of the argument. Unless they were arguing about their relative shooting skills, in which case see point a and a shooting range.

IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED HOW MEME REPRODUCES! (I know that sounds creepy)

After consuming a certain amount of candy, she will undergo Mitosis at the 'chronological age' of about 5 years, then again at 8 and 15. Thus, she will slowly multiply! The average Meme life span is 60-70 years of age, with the decay process starting at about their 55-65th year where their fur will turn grey slowly.

just use it for char development and make a plot out of it


the whole magical girl squad being mostly based on hypocracy seems to be their theme, so if that bothers you, point it out and fight against it. stand up to them


that being said, immediatly thinking the girl that showed up on the couch is a mass murderer just because there was something on TV about a mass murderer...it's not really that much of a connection to go by...

Dude he indirectly advocated the deaths of school kids.

Kyle doesn't like the kids in his school.

And I don't like, um, the KKK, but I wouldn't want them all to die by manticore and the little fact that I don't like them doesn't justify it.
(The fact that they're KKK might help, but that's beside the point. They were the least evil group I could think of that I could honestly say I dislike.)

Quote from: kj1225 on January 20, 2014, 04:00:04 pm

I think you all are just playing Kyle up as a bad guy for no reason.

Dude.
He's showing himself to not care about the lives of anyone he doesn't really know, compared to the lives of giant murderous monsters he just met and who tried to kill some of his friends. Well, at least one, I'm not sure how he feels about Cullodus and Catherine. That's showing a rather skewed set of priorities.
Then, he accused a girl of being a serial killer because he met her around the time he heard of the serial killer. (Note Will's comment on that logic for further information.) That is ignoring all kinds of due process ever.
I'd say we have a good case for Kyle being a bit of a "bad guy".

Quote from: kj1225 on January 20, 2014, 04:03:07 pm

Well, if Kyle is such a horrible hatable character then why don't I just leave? Because seriously I'm getting sick off all the pokes at my character when I'm just playing him they way I think is best.

Then leave, if you aren't having fun.

Quote from: Twi on January 20, 2014, 04:05:31 pm

His morality is practically Orange ad Blue to the rest of us. Salvageable. Maybe.

He can stay if I can add that to his tropes page. :P

And, you know, doesn't try to save monsters above their victims any more.

Quote from: Twi on January 20, 2014, 04:08:44 pm

Myself, I understand Hainuwele but can't sympathize with her supposed backstory. Kyle is...understandable. Ish.

I understand Hai's motives but consider her actions immoral and her community frankly stupid. (Seriously! Fence and signs! No rocket science needed!)
Kyle...well, maybe if he ever explains why he values manticores over kids. And in a way that doesn't make me want to strangle him and throw him in jail. (Note that "strangle" does not mean lethally.)

Quote from: kj1225 on January 20, 2014, 04:10:41 pm

You don't seem to understand. It's been happening the entire game! I try to just let it pass but really, it's starting to make me think that I'm playing this character badly and should just quite and join the next game with a character who has the exact same set of morals as everybody and just goes along with what they do like they're perfect fucking people!

We're not perfect. Everyone here has issues.
The difference is that we're not apathetic to the deaths of dozens of schoolkids just because we don't really like them.

Well maybe if you would ask I could explain!

All I ever see when people talk about Kyle is jokes about his love life or talking about he's stupid.

In game no one seems to respect him enough to listen to him. Like for example, when he was talking about the manticores. No one even tried to stop them non-lethally when Kyle had shown it was possible and then he gets yelled at when he gets upset about it!

I point out, I can understand how KJ is feeling. the passive aggressiveness in the OOC can be opressively bad. I PMd Elf about it before




and for the defence of Kyle, I will say one thing


GWG, be silent!. Nobody cares about your moral superiority, nor what you feel is *stupid*


we are playing moraly grey characters because that's what we like to play. It's role-play, where you think of a character and play that characters role. that means considering the characters circumstances and acting accordingly. Not everybody has fun just playing idealised self-inserts.


so for the sake of the fun of the players, quit just giving comments on everything, we are not commenting on Will all the time either (and there is much tos ay, seriously)


you might not perceive it that way, but you are occasionaly very condescending. And that can drasticaly reduce the fun of some players.




this is not a game about being right or wrong, so stop trying to prove so hard that you are right about everything.


nobody wants KJ to quit

Yeah, that's fair. Bismuth's bloodthirsty and all that, though, so there's no arguing there.

Saying he values the manticores over the kids is still not going to make him popular, no matter what. We'll probably have to accept that different moralities WILL cause conflicts. I don't think this quite counts though.

I suspect most people still kind of view Kyle as comic relief.

to be fair, I doubt he is really chosing manticores over school children. afterall he tamed one of them and lead him away, which is, assuming that mind-controle thing is reliable, a much better solution than anything we have done. nobody knows why the manticores are here, and they are mostly acting out of instinct.




by all accords, kyles approach WAS the most humane solution.




it DOES however also make sense from everyone elses perspective that they just wanna kill them on the spot. They have been fighting and exploding monsters for years now, and once you are powerful enough to do so, you won't stop to think twice about wether this is the best way. remember, if all you ever use is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

Pretty much this.

If Kyle had been lucky and not stuck with some of the most murderous party members he could have probably pulled it off.


There's really no excuse for the suspicion of Jacq though. Either you're paranoid enough to not trust or you're not. Our little lovey dovey utopian Nanoha community homeless shelter is in the latter camp.

That's insulting. Sometimes, using a hammer is the best solution, you know? It's worth the manticore's life to take the 100% chance of stopping the murders as opposed to the maybe 5% chance of calming the beast.

well, I suspect the general tone of the game is dry soil for serious characters. I've seen over 50 consecutive posts of just various hugs. Complex motivations will need a lot of vocalisation. just look at how incredibly long Hainuweles serious posts are, compared to the inconsequent banter. and it worked, some people responded to that with at least somewhat serious responses. of course, those responses were a bit one dimensional, but seriously this whole "but killing people is baaaaad and you are so stupid for doing it", either means the characters are some seriously hardcore idealists, to the point of being ignorant, (and such characters are fine too), or just what you get in a game with such a non-serious tone to it. one dimensional. there's a reason why superman is the most boring super hero, and that is not his overwhelmingly broken powers (well, a bit too)

He didn't best them, he used their weaknesses and got a fucking summon out of it. So I think that more than makes up for his no stat up, as he now has a killer robot, a Persona and a manticore summon.


Also, I've finally solidified the statup system; the first level up gets you five points, then the next five gives you one, until the fifth for five, then so on. Kyle's about four from his next major statup.

In another RP by @Ragnarok, @Gamerlord and @GWG got into a massive argument which locked the OOC. That's why we even have an IRC channel, because the OOC got locked by @Toady primarily for that. Also because of the sheer promiscuity of certain characters.

Also, I've finally solidified the statup system; the first level up gets you five points, then the next five gives you one, until the fifth for five, then so on. Kyle's about four from his next major statup.

1. If #1 is five points and the next five are one, then #2-6 are all one, so the next one would be #7, not #5.
2. Why not just make it a static number of points per level?
3. What level is everyone at?

Give me a few days, I'm working on that. I'll probably work on non-combat alternatives in the following weeks partially because doing combat with SO MANY CHARACTERS is, to be frank, a pain in the ass. Bah, take five points, because why the hell not, you technically defeated them.

This is why I don't do encounters more often.

Hey GWG, would you kindly chill the fuck out? KJ too, although you can blame Elf being lazy for that.

We get it. You're angry at each other because you have to defend your character's positions for some ungodly reason.

Stop doing that. And stop attacking each other so much, too, though that's more a GWG thing.

a) did hainuwele receive the stat-up or not? The Manticore situation was kinda cut off oddly when you left or were busy


which leads me to


b) both hainuwele and will individualy searched the school for hints of the origin of the manticores. anything on that?

Well, I'd be fine with it (OOC) if it weren't for the fact Elf seems to be trying to make everyone fighty characters. I have two summons, a persona which gives me less options than before without any warnings of such before hand, and one extra stat point after a level up.

Have your characters be horrible people all you want, just don't make them go from "nice" to "jerk" abruptly.
Explain your characters' heinous acts if you want.
Don't try to justify them. That leads to arguments, which lead to Elf being sad.

GMing 101, *rules* for diplomacy are a boring and broken way to deal with things, especialy with largely unchecked dicerolls


when players have the ability to talk people out of things just because they rolled well, it will reliably crash any plot you ever have in mind




I urge you strongly, in a game about roleplay, handle diplomacy via diplomacy. that's more work, but it encourages immersion and actual interests in the NPCs motivation. (of course it also implies they have a motivation). this game is almost entirely dialouge, why would an diplomatic approach be a roll?




when someone wants to end combat peacefully, depending on WHY there is any fighting, often just saying so might be an option. or leave you open to enemies killing you, REALLY depends on why you are fighting




assuming manticores are probably not very intelligent, that is not an option though. if they act on instinct though, scaring them away, distracting them, or simply protecting the children until they are evacuated though are fair options, as well as trying to capture them under nets or various traps




manticores have human faces too. they might be capable of speech, and their intelligence could vary wildly, depending on why the hell they are here


of course if they are just random encounters, that option either falls flat, or you just improvise and spin something out of it. GMing is 90% going along with what is happening. thinking on your feet is not always easy though

Pepperoni is pretty good, yeah. A bit...dull though. I mean, most of the time there's pizza at public events, there's pepperoni, sausage, cheese. Hence, I tend to prefer things like spinach alfredo and the like that aren't as common. And, ideally, that are slightly healthier.

at GWG, because excuse me Elf, this is important: You should not get so moraly worked up at a game. We are talking about a fictional game with fictional manticores eating fictional children. Getting angry about it IC, sure thing. Getting angry about it OOC - you should take a break from the game, take a breather, have a tea and maybe watch some cat videos on youtube, and then return to the game when you are not angry anymore. One must NOT continue playing the game when you are genuinely angry. Nobody is benefiting from that. It's not fun for you when you get angry at the game, and not fun for KJ when you get angry at him over it. Unless you are enjoying all these arguements so much, in that case, I'd ask Elf to consider the implications.




No children died. it's fiction. why would anyone get angry at that? those *heinous deeds* are just part of a story. in stories, bad things need to happen, else what't the point of heroes?




and no, of COURSE it's not the easiest thing in the world to save children from manticores. I am not sure what kinda difficulty level Elf has been running here, but difficulty is a good thing, else there is no sense of achievement. Those were half a dozen mythological beasts, and they were utterly destroyed, the threat level was 0. It was a genuinely boring encounter (no offense elf, probably not your fault. I gather you picked this game up from someone else...that someone should have kept everyone's powerlevel at check while he still could. as the characters are now, it's pretty hard to really create a situatio that is difficult to handle)

Anima is her alternate form.

as far as action justification goes, just replace the mantikors in the school with tigers


now imagine someone walking in with a flamethrower and burning them to death, instead of just trying to block some doors and lead the children out safely until backup has arrived to detain the tigers safely. nobody would have even for a second considered blasting the tigers to smitherens with super powers would be a better option than tranquilizzer darts.


if that viewpoint is so hard to understand, then you really have a problem of shifting your point of view.


why would a manticore be more deserving of death than a tiger, and why would kyle saving one of them be a heinous deed?


I mean sure, one of them attacked you, and killing that one was very much justified in that situation, but when we set out to find the other ones with the single goal to kill them, we were all being sort of psychopaths, and Kyle was the only one who did the right thing








as far as "good debate" goes, I have PMd Elf about you more than once, and he said he talked to you about it. Now there is KJ. You might not notice it, because as you have shown, viewpoints are not your forte, but I strongly urge you that when people ask you to stop your condescending tone or they will quit the game, that maybe what you perceive as a debate is strongly insulting to others. we do not WANT to debate with you. it has been made clear that what you are doing is making it hard for us to enjoy the game. so please, please consider what constitutes as a good debate, and what constitutes as you just calling people wrong and stupid for being wrong

I concur as from my perspective, doing so is stacking the deck in his favor so to speak. It is harder to justify the actions of someone you do not necessarily agree with and it seems that he does agree with Will. Whilst comparatively this is not necessarily the case with the people he asks justification for.

if that viewpoint is so hard to understand, then you really have a problem of shifting your point of view.

The problem is, we didn't have any tranquilizer darts, only one guy crazy enough to feed a tiger and expect to tame it. So the analogy breaks down.

Quote

It isn't...but Kyle claiming that us killing the manticores is heinous is rather unkind.

Let's bring up the fact that they were killing kids, and that Kyle only succeeded because he rolled insanely well. Now consider: If Kyle rolled less than he did, maybe an 80, and hence failed to tame the manticore, do you think we would be having this discussion?

I'm not good at tones, IRL or in text, and I swear I haven't been trying. And failing to explain why I'm being condescending isn't helping the problem.
And I'd have no problem with not debating if people didn't keep prickng me.

Look, I'm not asking for justification, I'm asking for no justification. All I have ever asked for is explanation, and not even very often.
You can provide an explanation for a genocide or a war, even if you think it was the complete wrong thing to do and can't justify it.

Those thermal exhaust ports have a purpose, you know. Otherwise, the reactors and stuff overheat, and then bad things happen.

oh well, it's not like Hainuwele can really contribute much to find someone who was kidnapped. she will valiantly stand up to any enemy, no matter how big and powerful, but *finding* such an enemy is hardly her expertise.




that being said, I hope things regarding the mage-killed and the manticores get solved soon-ish, as I have a plot idea of my own that I wanna run (must yet discuss that with elf), and I dont want to have too many things going on at once

[To: Richard] <Understood, do you think that the post rate of this threat may be undermining the RP? Whilst it does allow significantly faster character interactions, it comes at the cost of detail. I've noticed that the players use rudimentary descriptions such as "she looked upset" in place of less direct and more characterizing statements such as "she averted her now slightly downcast eyes, her hands curling and uncurling into fists whilst letting out a futilely muted sigh, somewhere between a hostility-ridden breath and a melancholic exhalation, lying somewhere in the midway point as a seemingly half-hearted attempt at condescension." which not only characterizes the character more, provides more room for interpretation and misinterpretation.">

That's rather more detail than I've ever seen in a forum game.
...That's more detail than most books give, in fact. Even the good ones.
But yeah, the post rate is killer at times.

There is such a thing as a spoiler for Disney movies. Especially if they haven't even been released for DVD yet.

if Elf allows it, Hainuwele could probably temporarily envigorate her libido to a point where gender doesn't become much of an issue anymore

I mean hey, more than half of traditional chinese medicine deals with getting your naughty bits going

of course, aiming that raw libido at Kyle might be difficult, let alone saving hainuwele from being killed the moment the effect wears off and selina realizes what has been going on :P

Assisted date rape is not cool, Akroma.

It seems that we may have an Egyptian divine civil war on our hands. One side seems to have Horus, probably as the leader. So--
*shot before he could complete the Horus Heresy joke*
...That stung a bit. Who did that?
*shot with a large artillery piece*
I think that one drew blood. Seriously, what the hell?

Someone bring this up IC, I think Will's going to try contracting Ra.

Oh, and that thing about Nuriel killing someone? Yeah, I've been waiting since Nuriel vanished one night for a chance to bring it up. It would have happened right away, but we left Northdale. I was hoping to mention someone killed by fire magic around that time in the interview, but that never got off the ground. Other little opportunities were missed for being nonsensical.

Insanity does not automatically follow immortality. It's more of boredom/loneliness caused by immortality, and there are ways around this.

In my case, it's because Nuriel wants to look like an older teenager. (Also, she looks more like 18.)

Quote from: Akroma on January 22, 2014, 07:36:21 am

Because everybody thinks that Jack the Ripper is kinda cool, she was accepted into the household, and most people don't seem too bothered by the part where she ritually removes the organs of her victims like some sort of psycho...

Should we disturbed bu the pride and pleasure Hainawule clearly gets from killing innocent people who happened to stumble on the Fingerlings' enclave? Because, frankly, the type of people murdered and the motive matters a lot more than what they do to the bodies (I'll get back to that). For comparison:
Hai: Kills anyone who wanders into a completely imperceptible enclave, because her people were too stupid or lazy to erect a fence or something with a nice "Danger! Do Not Enter!" sign.
Jac: Kills the worst sorts of criminals, typically ones with magical powers, because if she doesn't she'll die (and also because they're really dicks, what with the whole "murder/rape/etc" thing).
On that note, the organ-removal seems to be part of that "not dying" thing.

you forgot that it was clearly stated that Jack is killing criminals *now*


she has been killing for a hundred years, and clearly stated that in the beginning, she killed out of sheer passion in killing. research on the topic indicated that in the beginning, she killed *daily*, and only begun slowing down over time. the 250 murders I mentioned earlier were the absolute minimum that she would have needed to stay eternaly young and vital, but 500 or more is very likely. And considering she only turned to a slow rythm of taking out horrible criminals only relatively recently it is safe to assume that at least more than half of these, if not 3/4rd have been killed for the joy of killing




note how she doesn't *just* kill them even, she then completely disassembles them in true psycho killer fashion.




compare that to the 4 (or if will still believes the lies, 40) that hainuwele has killed, and there miiight be a bit of disparity here.




there is a difference in motive too, because hainuwele was protecting her entire race from a danger that she perceived to be very real, after witnessing some really fucked up slaughter that man can bring upon her people. on top of that, she is a soldier, and carried out orders.


then there is jack the ripper, who kills soley for the single reason of being and staying immortal. "I killed half a thousand people and will continue to do so until the end of time so I can live forever" is usualy prime material for villain backgrounds.


the sheer difference in scale and body count should really not be forgotten. even leaving the murderers and rapists aside, she likely has a higher body count fo innocent lives than (most) of the other characters together




trying to make hainuwele seem as a worse killer than jack the fucking ripper is simply impossible. the overwhelming number of deaths alone is just staggering.


I dare say Will immediatly wanting to notify authorities for Hainuwele being a serial killer, but completely fine with Jack the Ripper is extremely inconsistent

1. Her people wouldn't have to kill much of anyone if they took basic steps to keep people away. You'd better believe that most people going through a national park would stay away from anywhere marked "Danger! Do Not Enter!"
2. The "I was just following orders!" defense is so lame...especially when one considers the pride and joy Hai got from "following orders".

Quote

then there is jack the ripper, who kills soley for the single reason of being and staying immortal. "I killed half a thousand people and will continue to do so until the end of time so I can live forever" is usualy prime material for villain backgrounds.

Who wants to die? And...look at the future.
She will continue killing rapists, murderers, and so forth. There will be fewer such individuals. This is generally considered good, especially since she focuses on ones who can't or won't be caught by the police.

Quote

trying to make hainuwele seem as a worse killer than jack the fucking ripper is simply impossible. the overwhelming number of deaths alone is just staggering.

Jack the Ripper? Yes.

I mean, she is basicaly telling us exactly what we wanted to hear - all of it unconfirmed.


it would be a dangerous underestimation to assume that she is not able to put up a bit of opera, tucking at the heart strings of people that she thinks might be easy to manipulate. It may very easily be all a lie. I mean, the whole rape backstory, nice and shocking to immediatly harness a lot of sympathy and understanding for the latest murder, but [jedi voice]search your feelings, something here is odd[/jedi voice]. Even assuming that she doesn't want to kill people who are mind controled, that doesn't imply she would be unable to stop them. Beat them up, or simply run away - even with mindcontrole, they were ordinary humans. That jack the ripper is unable to escape from them...I have my doubts. Moreso I have my doubts that a serial killer would hold up her will for redemption so high that she would rather be raped than hurt those poor mind-controled gang members




I for one am convinced that ragnaroks plot is far from over. A character gets picked up on the street, while the TV basicaly just insta-solves the plot and bam, member of the group? Either Rag's "plot" is just another way to introduce his new side character, or this was just the prolouge

Depends on the prison system. Most aren't so great.
Also, have I mentioned that she would die if we put her in prison? Prisons tend to look poorly on those who kill fellow prisoners. Any prison sentence is in reality a death sentence. If we're going to kill her, say that and don't just say we're locking her up without considering the consequences.

Hack? I assume you mean Jack?
Well, without illustrations, it's hard to tell what kind of grin it is. It could be an "I'm glad to get this off my chest" grin as much as a "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" grin--and the first seems likelier, because it would be kind of negligent to have her smiling the second way without any kind of hint at that by rag.

Jack the Ripper is not Kratos. He specialized in killing prostitutes, who are known neither for their combat skills nor for ganging up in packs. Her more recent victims were killed in their sleep. Jac is more of an assassin than a front-line combatant...and anyone without significant combat magic is going to lose to a mob.

would be a shame, because re-reading what jack has said and done so far, she has done an absolutely brilliant job of playing her cards at the likes, dislikes, stereotypes and prejudices of the group. under the premise that it was her goal the entire time to infiltrate our group and possibly kill us, her execution of that plan has been flawless to the point where it actually seems believable that she as the most famous serial killer of all time succesfully evaded capture for over a century.




just think about how absolutely brilliant the rape lie (assuming it is a lie) is placed. even if you don't believe it, none of the chars would dare to accuse her of lying, for the sheer social backlash alone. and even if they did, all that is needed is her tearing up and doing that knee-hug fetal posture and immediatly 2d6 other characters will jump to her defence. on a side note, that would be a whole lot less grimdark than an actual rape victim.




if that is actually the case, then I applaud Ragnarok for the portrayal of the character. it is a very convincing and consistent villain, that is actually using cunning for a perfect disguise. by all acounts, she absolutely deserves to kill a few characters in their sleep for their sheer lack of suspicion. Ragnarok seems to be a brilliant GM.


unless of course it's all unintentional and jack is actually as flat as as she makes herself out to be, that would be a waste, because the resolution of the *plot* would have been rather short and uneventful.

Jack the Ripper is not Kratos. He specialized in killing prostitutes, who are known neither for their combat skills nor for ganging up in packs. Her more recent victims were killed in their sleep. Jac is more of an assassin than a front-line combatant...and anyone without significant combat magic is going to lose to a mob.

yes, an assassin that kills people in their sleep. it's as you said, her weapons are wile and cunning, and man, she got most characters utterly disarmed and could off nearly any of them now. sometimes, the stealthiest approach is not just the old-fashioned sneaking stuff, but making the enemy believe that he has the assassin all figured out.


for someone with 100 years of experience, it might not just only be easy to pull off, it might simply be a game. eventually even murder gets boring, and must be spiced up

Excellent theory. And if rag has forgotten that Will should have picked up on that, he should be ashamed of himself.
You see, Will's power is very good at detecting liars.

Remarkable that you take a quote entirely out of context. I was responding to your claim that she should not have been able to resist the Black Vipers.

Now onto your argument. Yes, she could be just playing us, but...well, aside from your suspicions, there is no evidence for it, and given that Will's power is perfectly suited for detecting this kind of thing, it would be rather cheap of ragnarok to have it work anyways.

of course Hainuwele has no proof - neither has Jack.




anyway, I would not rely too much on Will's power of figuring things out making him always aware of anything at all times.


because frankly, if it is a constantly active passive that requires neither roll nor mana, it's more overpowered than anima, that would burst any plot that is not focused on fighting.


if you want to make sure Ragnarok recognise that Will is using his power, it is in your duty to announce that you are using it and to make a roll (or which is better, ask Rag to roll for you).


If Rags plot is based on deception, I really can't blame him to not immediatly turn a scene upside down and give you all 100% correct info just because Will happened to be in the room. With such a strong skill being a constantly turned on passive, any plot becomes arbitrary or has to resolve to various ways of shutting will down. And that would be kinda bad, because Will has this power, and thus should have the right to use it. But seriously, with rolls and mana expense, as every other superpower

You know, Elf and I never really worked out how it worked for the most part. A few specific examples, sure, but not in general. Guess that's what happens when you import a character wholesale from one RP to another.

Isn't the subject at heart if she should be trusted or not?
And if we're going to put Jack on trial, we're going to put Hainawule on trial. You can't have double standards just because one was supposedly in self-defense. After all...
1. Hai's problem was easily solved with simple signage, and she killed innocents.
2. Jack's been killing criminals for over a century, and she has to do it to survive.

One thing that occurred to me about Will's power: Tattletale had problems with headaches when she overused her powers. Perhaps the MP represents how close he is to that?
The problem is that Will is stated to have even less ability to turn off his power than Tattletale; he would logically be leaking MP all the time. Remember how part of his touch-phobia has to do with his powers informing him how filthy and germy everything is? This change quite easily has the possibility to make him worse than useless if done wrong.
Another possibility is much like what wildbow did with Worm to keep Tattletale from being OP: Don't give her access to all the information. Him, if we're applying this to Will. This requires a little more ingenuity with developing the plots, though--having the object of the plot just walk up to the door and start chatting with Will and the others wouldn't work.

How often does cooking come up?
Torches are similar, with the additional caveat that others *cough*Conny*cough* would be much better-suited for dealing with that problem.
Flaming arrows require a bow, and are just a different way to burn things. Especially since burning arrows suck at normal arrow stuff.

Less "can't control," more "doesn't bother to control".
And yes, there are some niche uses of Nuriel's power, but they almost never come up. And in the case of cooking, I'd be less worried about the fire than the...anything else. Demons don't have to eat, so Nuriel never learned to cook.

if the power can't be turned off, then maybe a bit of focus and mana is what's needed to actually filter the useful information from the useless ones? He could be permanently drowned in so much information and conclusions that filtering out just one would be difficult

1. His power helps him sort through large amounts of information and find the relevant bits already.
2. If you just need to focus, that's not much restriction, is it?
3. I prefer the idea that use of the power causes headaches. Keeps Will closer to his roots.

hmm, still no word from elf to comment on my plot outline, damn him




until then, I had a nice idea for a gap filler, comedic and inconsequential enough to be easily retconned to have happened whenever


a magical girl contest show, basicaly based on master chef.


eight magical girls from around the world (I'd have about 4 NPCs ready to fill gaps, more are easily fond), have to go through 7 magical-girl related contests, complete with three (http://safebooru.org//images/1097/7a37b612675832e0d6959f13ac9ceeff6cf9e73a.jpg?1139696) prominent (http://safebooru.org//images/952/c7b9b13c5faa4716ff544097cc291e4e68344313.jpg?958024) judges (http://safebooru.org//images/1120/449d7c309ffc2c69e3a30da72abf379c9dd8a0ac.jpg?1163105), two of which can be controled by players


the question is of course, what are 7 magical girl contests?


idea pool so far: talent show, costume contest, battle royal, fanservice, offense, defence


I am open to ideas

question regarding magical forms, personae etc




mostly it seems that magical forms seems rather independant, I quite often see them both talk during the same conversation etc - but what about in combat? does the character have to transform into her magical form, and how do wounds on either form influence the other once transformed? what if the magical form is knocked out or killed, what about the nonmagical form?

Well, it would seem magic forms and nonmagic forms are interdependent on each other and unless something specific changes that they can't be removed without death occuring. Thus not dying is a good idea.

Fanservice?

Bear in mind that, despite being called Rise of the Magic Girls, most tropes relating to actual magic girl shows have either faded away into the background or never existed. And this also takes itself more seriously than said shows. (Usually.)

The characters do have to transform, but I don't think anything has canonically been said by Elf about how things affecting one body affect the other. Elf has had Selina sleeping and transforming into an awake Ghost, though, so it seems separate.
Who the hell knows about personae? That stuff's crazy, man.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 23, 2014, 09:52:44 am

Sometimes, yes, especially the ones too weak to be likely to get souls other ways. They would have to make deals to avoid angering the (likely much more powerful) demons who would normally get the person's soul, though.

More or less, yes.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on January 23, 2014, 09:55:22 am

what are the other ways, and what are souls used for?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 23, 2014, 10:03:42 am

Whenever someone dies, if they are deemed unsuitable to work in heaven for whatever reason, they are sent to hell and some demon or another gets the soul. Which demon does depends on a number of qualities of the deceased. Once, it was simple--child molesters go to one demon, regicide means you go to some other, etc--but between trading bits of each domain and the increase in the number of demons, this system gotten to be more...complex over time. Demons on Earth sometimes "corrupt" people to get them to one demon or another so they can claim a reward from said demon.

Souls are kinda like slaves. They work and form the backbone of the infernal economy. Notable souls, like kings, heroes, and celebrities, are often kept more as "trophy pieces" or else sold to richer and more powerful demons who do so. Powerful souls unsuitable for "trophy"ing are sometimes used as soldiers. (Actually, any soul can, but more powerful ones are more common.) Sometimes, souls are eaten; this empowers the demon, but most would consider the soul to be more valuable than the power increase. It's mostly done as a sign of extravagance.

The origins of basically everything, from Earth to Heaven to Hell to man and gods, is still pretty undefined. The various gods probably each have their own story, and they're probably all wrong.

Sanure and I have been working on that.
Basically, a demon can spend a bit of its power and give up a bit of its domain (which souls it will get) to make a new demon.

Demons aren't born into types any more than humans are born into professions or hobbies. Less so, actually, because demons are terrible parents.

Well, they don't really have maternal/paternal instincts like most kinds of animals that don't just abandon their young or die before they hatch do. Also, they're inherently selfish (it's one of their defining traits) and after a number of generations of being bred to be tools for the parent, they're kind of jerks.

Well huh.

Biologically, how does this work with Angel not being able to? Does the child still mature while Nuriel isn't in control and thus the body physically shouldn't be able to sustain it? does it get shunted into Elsewhere when it happens?

Also, I think there was a PM at one point that figured out that Demons were creatures of Void, but nothing more specific than that on the origin front.

1. I dunno. I didn't get the idea of the kid incubating in Angel's uterus until earlier today.
2. Angel is completely immortal (barring a horrible accident) and unaging thanks to the altered state of her bond with Nuriel. Also, each has taken on traits of the other; we've noticed the human traits of Nuriel more, but Angel got some demonic traits. I think we can safely ignore most biological laws for this.
I mean, obviously Angel herself couldn't get pregnant unless she started ovulating somehow, but oh god this is so disturbing.

Is Kyle secretly a conduit for the Rainbow Serpent or something? Apparently one legend about it mentions it being able to enchant bodies of water so that any woman who wades in became pregnant. Sounds awfully similar to Kyle impregnating any woman who sleeps with him... you know, if bodily fluids count as small bodies of water.

She was referencing that this is a forum RPG and that the books in its fictional libraries are not really there nor the transport used for fictional markets real.

I'd say they'd probably be twilight. that is, both, and neither. So it depends on the particular Fatetouched. Most of the ones that have shown up have had the template applied to creatures of Creation, so they'd be treated as such.

Persona would be Creation, as would cryptids, except maybe a rare few.

Heartless (not made canon yet, but I might use them just for lulz at some point) would also be Void, Nobodies twilight (no special effects, treated as a normal sword just like it would for Void creatures since they technically don't exist), and... so on.

Well, a distortion isn't so much an actual entity but rather a lack thereof, a hole punched into reality so to speak. By definition, nothing exists within what lies beyond, no creation, no void, I would say that nothing exists, but in that region, not even nothing exists. As in, all concepts, including emptiness (and the concept of all concepts including emptiness ceasing to exist) ceases to exist. Hence it isn't empty because it is devoid of emptiness. I'm wondering, since Void is the more ordered absence, if a distortion is placed in it, would the area the distortion punched through be emptier than the surrounding absence of creation?

Actually, Void is the concept of non-being, which is exactly what you described. Not a vaccuum, not emptiness, non-reality.

So if that's what Fate is, then it'd be Void.

So it's also an eldritch false-vacuum decay with an entirely alien sense of perception that seeks to end everything including itself (even though it technically doesn't exist until it ends everything (yes that means it can only start to exist by ending itself rather paradoxically (meta-brackets ftw (I actually ran out of things to say but decided to add one more layer of brackets))))?

Void the person doesn't want that, it'd be less fun. He wants a spanner because it lets him influence things in Creation, which he can't enter.

Fate is essentially a reconciliation between free-will and the unpredictability of quantum mechanics with the ideas of destiny and certainty. Essentially, as from its own perspective, Fate will succeed, what is destined to happen (the non-existence of all) will irreversibly remove all. Hence it allows uncertainty and whatnot to coexist with an eventual outcome as long as that eventual outcome ensures that the details of occurs before is rendered non-existent and meaningless.

I suppose you could define the difference between Fate and the void as the former's function is not necessarily non-existence but rather reconciles its principles of inevitability by bringing forth the end of all whilst the latter's function IS non-existence. Plus it may be slightly less empty as Void would still exist in the latter. Less of an avatar and more of an ally.

I'd rather not state any equivalence seeing as there are mechanical differences, for example, void magic or void walking can allow safe travel in the void. That is not true for Fate. Attempting to do so will remove all traces of the person except for perhaps their soul, assuming they even succeed (as a general rule of thumb, if it isn't a distortion, it can't go into fate). It is not nearly as welcoming nor is it innately capable of forming any substances like void is. Consolidated distortions are quite different as they are more or less the actual edge of the decay "bubble" that have become solidified to prevent the distortion and its environment from interacting, hence why it can't hold enchantments.

Quote

That being said, the metaphor breaks - the internet is not a country with no land. There is no ruler, no laws, not even a sense of nationality, the internet has no characteristics of a country - by that stretch, a talk via telephone, a family, or any group of people is a country.

There is a community, however. Many communities, in fact. Bay12, GitP, Reddit, Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook, etc. They're all under one overall banner, and they need to follow laws (albeit with no "national" laws).

Quote

The markets are not caravanless either, as stuff still gets moved via some means to the trader from the producer and from the trader to the buyer.

A caravan is not merely something that moves things around; that's reason enough to doubt, but a FedEx truck is not a caravan. Caravans trade at both ends, for instance, as well as including a number of vehicles whose drivers typically share a sense of camaraderie and close-knit community.

Quote

this is why you don't make up riddles on the spot. Because some metaphors are too much of a stretch. You use them because they sound nice, but they simply do not apply. The internet is NOT the answer,

Quote

neither is the actual answer that was given "bay12 forums" - there is not even anything that can be bought here, so there is no market))

Considering that A. Elf didn't want to let the party get eaten because the answer wasn't perfect (would it be fair to have the classic Sphinx riddle failed because you said "a human" or "a person" instead of "a man"?), and B. Camille and Will got it anyways...
And, again, it was that, or use another cookie-cutter riddle, or wait hours to days for Elf to come up with a riddle that might be a bit better. It's a situation with no perfect answers, and I applaud Elf for his choice.

((Caravan is a metaphor, if Elf insists on the literal part of "dudes with camels", then it all falls apart, especialy if the solution of the riddle is modern, and "a sense of belonging" is not a country. the internet is a communication plattform, and is no more a country than a bar or a family.

Ignoring the other facts that make FedEx not a caravan and the Internet more like a country...you're demanding a metaphor for one and a literal interpretation for the other. You're being hypocritical.

Quote

"All feel my presence" does not apply either. there is a billion or more people who have not even seen a computer up close, and whose life has never had been influenced by it, at all. The metahpors of country and market might just be stretched, but "everyone feels my presence" is, simply, not true.))

Sen gets angry with Kyle's statement and nearly punches him, "DEMONS DO NOT GET PREGNANT LECHER!" Sen then teleports near ghost using the bracelet.

If only Nuriel could hear the conversation.

Quote from: kj1225 on January 23, 2014, 04:42:03 pm

Why does everyone get to go in at once?
I wanted to solve a trap by myself...

Kyle's "solutions" included flirting with a possibly-yandere wall, charging across a collapsing floor until you fell in, and solving a riddle incorrectly. If Kyle had a trap to solve all by himself, Conny would need to settle for a memorial service.

Quote from: Empiricist on January 23, 2014, 05:13:25 pm

Is Kyle secretly a conduit for the Rainbow Serpent or something? Apparently one legend about it mentions it being able to enchant bodies of water so that any woman who wades in became pregnant. Sounds awfully similar to Kyle impregnating any woman who sleeps with him... you know, if bodily fluids count as small bodies of water.

Neat.
Also, are you telling me the Rainbow Serpent...ah...impregnates any women who wander into a given body? Now, that's rape powers.

Quote from: Akroma on January 23, 2014, 06:01:14 pm

there might simply be no solution, that is the problem. "The bay12 forums" at the very least should have Cyrielle swallowed on the spot

1. By your logic, Hai and Kyle should have been swallowed well before that. Why not complain about that, too?
2. Cyrielle wasn't rightfully there, and Emp was making a joke as far as I could tell.
3. The sphinx was being kind enough to accept similar answers. If Family Feud does it, why not sphinxes? Your life isn't exactly on the line on the Feud, just your dignity and maybe a few thousand dollars of winnings.
4. CAMILLE GOT THE EXACT RIGHT ANSWER!

Suddenly, a massive, oversized drop pod slams down in the front yard of the office, smashing a small daemon and two or three boxes of chocolate pudding! It slowly opens up, chocolate and core sticking its door for a moment, opening more than eight feet tall..

And then a two-foot tall girl with bright pink hair and light power armor steps out, hefting a bolter that's much too large for her.

"... Like, OMGE! I think I like... hit something?" She looks down at the goop, frowning.

What is it: Absolutely nothing, an endless expanse of non-existance.

How does it interact with Creation: Mostly it doesn't. it continuously tries to consume it, but can't.

Denezins: Very rare, can be almost anything from Cthulu to Captain Jerome, rarely leave the Void just like how you all (except for ashley) rarely leave Creation.

you could play it as a standalone game without all the...stuff, and just replace all the...stuff with the monster girls just eating humans because they are so delicious, and it would be one of the best jrpgs that have been around in a long while.


some of the ...stuff is not half bad too. the problem is, the game has a dozen various artists, and while some of the monster girls are....stuffy, the vast majority is not very fitted for...stuff, unless you are a true deviant. Thankfully, all the...non-stuffy stuffy only happens when you lose, so nobody forces you for any...stuff. Then again...100% completion and all...

In that case, it would have more to do with the fact that every other character sucks at reading people.
What about the babies? And really, every time one dies before reproducing it's one less dragon in existence, forever. Not to mention that they couldn't have evolved in the first place. Unless they were created pretty recently, they would have gone extinct long ago.

She never bothered to make it accurate, it's one of those generic neo-medieval fantasy realms, so the fact that living conditions aren't that primitive and the proliferated modern capitalism would probably be of greater question in the setting.

In response to @GWG's comment on the serpent, I think it's more of a single use hyperfertility blessing and only in the mythology of some communities.

The way it was described made it sound a lot more like what Xant might call "raep magick".

I blame Wikipedia.

Quote from: Wikipedia

Some Aboriginals in the Kimberley regions believe that it was the Rainbow Serpent who deposited spirit-children throughout pools in which women become impregnated when they wade in the water

If it is hyperfertility though, at least Selina can have children now.

-Keith owns all its shit by proxy.
-It must act as Keith's representative to other eldritch entities.
-Keith can ask it to provide parts and materials.
-It can not harm or otherwise inconvenience anyone on Earth ever again either directly or indirectly.
-It has to write fanfiction.
-It agrees to do its best to become a brony.

The Angels made some allies over the years. A little ompp behind their punches. I can easily never use them again.

...Or, you could have them as eldritch cosplay enthusiasts who dressed up their constructs as those. After all, even if those truly do not exist, the fiction they were derived from still do.

Just because they're from a game that would be a different universe doesn't mean they can exist. They can't be entirely copied over.

eh, I see them as eldritch constructs, but a crossover ban seems very very weaponizable.

What are they crossing over from?

Well if they aren't crossing from another universe in the multiverse then they can't exist.
If they are they have to play by the multiverses rules.

assholes from outside of Creation penetrated Creation.
Said things are Void, and thus some kind of dark.
This being McClay, it's the grim as fuck dark.
Angels are dickbags that infect people with cthulutech.
Beth has Necron heart. Said heart was is basically being used to hold her hostage through explodiness by said Angels.
Keith lost an arm because he's an idiot.
eventual plot involves finding dude that beat these guys up before and then fighting them w/ an army
Clay is willing to tweak as needed.

Super intelligence + supernatural contracting + teleportation + unbelievable cuteness.

Eeeh, again, Ashley shouldn't count because she's basically a sentient chunk of void impressed with Ashley's soul.

Assuming it's only Kyle, Anima, Meme the ability to manipulate and lock convection currents. Or, generalizing it, entropy control. Not just accelerating it, reversing it as well so that quark-gluon plasma exists next to absolute zero space.

So, the main two are Creation and Void...
Fate is the outsider to everything including itself...

Where do Personae and Wall Street fit in? The latter is probably half and half due to mediating creation and removal...

Joking aside, it does make sense, seeing as Alfred's ability can affect everything whether Creation, Void or Fate. It's essentially a forced contract that covers all in the realm of economics.

Also, some cosmology stuff, basically:

Quote from: The Unifying Theorem of Supernatural Phenomena, Second edition

This is The Twilight, The Abyss, The Other.

_{*the terms "pound" and "flesh" being their respective definitions at the time}

Creation and Void have different countermeasures associated with them. Most supernatural arts are within one of those spheres. Turns out, true magic is Creation aligned, that is, the antimagic fields being used are useless against Void magic.

Void does not have to follow the rules of Creation, thus a contract that binds Creation CANNOT bind Void. The exception comes in the form of Wall Street, something that mediates the two spheres and the other, rarer and less prominent types. No, I am not kidding, the power of economics and whatnot supersede the power of gods when dealing with Outsiders (entities completely unaffiliated with Creation) when aided with their associated magic.

So far, the sources of the supernatural are:
Creation - Primordial sphere of origins and existence. Most magic and superpowers comes under this. The realm of Shy'sm Caes.
Void - Primordial sphere of terminations and nonexistence. Primarily infernal and eldritch. The realm of Void.
Fate - Absence of all concepts, no connection to anything. False Vacuum Metastability Events. The domain of Annie and Wheatley.
Wall Street - Interactions between and inside sources, mediates everything. Commerce-based abilities. The nexus of all stock markets.
Jungian Psychology - Not sure where it fits in. Personae, Shadows and the Television World. Where facades and identities dwell.

Supers are probably creation. Not sure about Alexander. I think Creation as well, he's an artificial god. A Created Creator so to speak.

Of interest is that Whilst Void and Shy'sm Caes reside in their realms and cannot venture into any other realms, Annie and Wheatley can venture into other realms but are incapable of ever going to their jurisdiction.

Also, what do we call the stuff that ain't Creation or Void?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on January 26, 2014, 07:04:16 am

Well, I'm thinking Alex fits into that last category that nobody knows what to call. He doesn't follow the rules of Creation OR Void, being from a place where the rules of THIS particular Creation and Void don't apply to magic.

There were two characters who specialized in enchantments.
Arthur Reisa, who was in the crossover and I controlled.
Gregory, the antagonist who @RangerCado controlled.

P.S. Cado, did that guy enchant Angel's parents?

Also, make the suit navy blue.

You're not going to get in trouble for adding a few traits of thin men to a random online game.
1. Firaxis did not copyright segmented bones, scaly necks, or navy blue suits.
2. You can't get in trouble for that kind of stuff anyways. If you could, all fanfic would dry up instantly, because what they do is robbing a hell of a lot more than what we're proposing.
3. We've in fact had far more directly copyrighted stuff in this very game! *cough*Persona*cough*
4. If all else fails, call it parody.

Anyway, back on topic, the main issue I had with those forms are that they are almost identical to their lore. They don't seem to ever express dissatisfaction at being confined to such state, or exploit it by using their expected actions as a facade.

My problem isn't so much that the Flayed Ones look like Flayed Ones but so much that they act entirely like them.

Something simple, such as showing signs that they aren't just walking cameos, or some of them displaying personalities, hell, having one of them flail menacingly only to suddenly back away and pull out a gun would be fine.

Just have them display signs that they are independent entities forced into an approximated physical form rather than an animated set of cosplay paraphernalia.

Also, because that means a bunch of void entities would end up manifesting as Darnos. The lack of any significant allowance of deviation means that @Xantalos won't be controlling a Darnos character, he'll be controlling an entire collective of them.

It essentially becomes a crossover and removes any chance of the creatures from displaying any interesting traits that highlight their true personalities.

I would say it is, it's still a katana and paralysis could be rather unpleasant. For example, if Cyrielle was paralyzed, she'd start releasing spells that use up all her MP.

Accepted  if only because a Pinkamena expy would be hilarious. And bring Richard bad memories. Also a Nightmare Moon expy would have to deal with Nyx. And Tsukiyomi, but mainly Nyx.

1. Shys'm Caes is a woman.
2. Relatively low. She has cosmicky magic, which mostly means that she attacks with big bang bombs and teleports with wormholes and stuff. For more details, see her character sheet.
3. Not her choice. Somehow, the omnipotent being was sealed by Yuri's ancestors. She is not expected to live this down in the forseeable future.

Barring extreme stupidity (Keith, don't charge the necrons again), there shouldn't be any "Roll or Die!" scenarios.

((on a different topic, "characters are not supposed to die"?. haha, I very much condone equal opportunity NPCs. If PCs can kill NPCs, it also works vice versa))

Depends on the PCs, depends on the NPCs, depends on the game.
A realistic, "gritty" game focused on combat where the PCs are on the same power level as their opponents? Oh, definitely.
A fantastic, more lighthearted game focused on roleplaying where the PCs tend to be more powerful than their foes (at least the ones they face in combat)? Not so much, and they should definitely get at least a second chance at...not dying. And then a way to bring them back.

Post by: Akroma on January 28, 2014, 09:12:20 am

I am all for second chances, but not without cost. Without any actual threat or chance of losing, challenges become arbitrary. There is no sense of accomplishment if from the very start there was no way to not win.

So if a character would die in combat, there should at least be a proper price paid to charon to bring you back over the river styx.

That can be shorthanded by a bit of a stat penalty, loss of magic item or whatever, but I find that a bit of a wasted chance. The characters invading the underworld to bring back a fallen friend has plot potential in itself, and is sufficently epic.

I don't do roll-or-die, but I certainly do roll-or-consequence. In a game like this, death is not the final frontier, but failing should always be possible.

That's what irked me so much about the sphinx riddle. It doesn't matter wether or not it's a good or bad riddle, what matters is that the player answered "the bay-12 forum", and argueably, that's a stretch. The sphinx, which is supposed to be a guardian placed by the gods, whom was constantly licking her lips and clearly had interest in eating a PC or two just kinda rolled over and gave the players a big amount of leeway. There was never a pressure to find the right answer, just something that sorta fit was good enough. Ra was even more of a pushover, swayed from his point of view so easily. I guess Elf didn't want to kill his own GMPC, but again, there was never a chance of failure, it's simply lacking any suspense when the outcome is already clear.

Note how the best part of Madoka was when what appeared to be a lighthearted story suddenly turned super grimdark. Characters need challenge and consequences for not being able to overcome them. It makes eventual victory all the sweeter, because you will have earned it, against the odds.

Look to two of my points:
1. We tend to fight enemies we are superior to. We'd have to be trying not to win!
2. Again, this game is rather...non-combat-focused. We focus on "challenges" of non-combat varieties, usually.

2. That answer was given by Cyrielle, who was not even there.

Aside from the title and the fact that most of the characters are female, this abides by the conventions of magical girl shows about as well as Watchmen abides by the conventions of the sillier Silver Age comic books.

Actually, before she said "The Bay-12 Forum", which she only said in the context of a fictional character in a world created by said forum rather than as a "real" person, she did say:

Quick question, what the fuck are magical girls supposed to do anyway? Because I have a feeling that - and though I have more or less no clue about the genre I am rather certain about this - armed hostilities, mass murder and lesbianism aren't the primary aspects of it.

Naw, that's just Australian ones. Normal magic girls fight monsters and stuff in Japan dressed in awesomely good looking outfits. Also we don't have to deal with tentacles.

Lesbianism is. The other two I'm not sure about. Blame Kyle.

Awww...in all seriousness I think this game could be improved if there was little bit more variety between light and fluffy and curb stomping armies. One of the best RP's I have listened to was Ms. Frieda's Halfway House (http://drunkandugly.com/category/monsters-and-other-childish-things/mrs-friedas/), it combined the light and fluffyness of the kids being kids with the grimdarkness of the villains, most specifically Odyn.

Oh, and about the whole 'not wanting death thing' it's because you aren't coming back if you die. The only time that happened it was prearranged by the character's player and the GM.

Ashley gives Kyle a look that says 'yeah right.'

Spooky? The half-plane robogirl?

Well, even ignoring the implications of Kyle's obsession with armor and the Maria image, it's only one step from virtual golem to robot. And given Kyle's badly-ending flirting with Hai, I'm guessing size is no object, especially with size-changing magic available.

Number one Kyle would have to be equally drunk to get him to lay a drunk woman.

The rape part isn't supernatural, though. That means it isn't supernatural rape. If supernatural powers were required for the rape to occur, it would be supernatural rape; otherwise, it's just rape by a supernatural being.

Sure, if Will had actually destroyed a building, but given that he calmly asked if there were people in the building he was threatening you'd think they'd be a bit calmer. But nooo, Will is a demon to them so any mildly hostile action is treated as the Second Coming of Godzilla.
Will is definitely amused. Where he comes from, people usually don't panic until the third or fourth destroyed building.

Several things.
1. Again, Will would not have chosen a house if there was a perfectly good half-completed soaper's workshop or something around.
2. Will would not have carried through on his threat, especially not on a house...
3. ...and if for some Shys'm-Caes-forsaken reason he had to, he would carefully put a hole in the roof rather than smash the whole house to the ground and grind it to dust.
4. Since the fingerlings are about 4 inches tall, the house would either be pretty puny or not one he could easily do the grind-to-dust thing on anyways. He's not quite Godzilla; King Kong with muscle strain and anger-management courses at absolute most.

Quote from: Akroma on January 30, 2014, 07:53:24 am

Hainuwele has returned from China.

Alongside her come 200 fingerlings and their belongings, as well as food and livestock, to found the fingerling city-state of Yardistan. And what an industrious bunch they are. Half of them begin building field for various crops and miniature lifestock, using up most of the space in the yard, while the other half begins building cottages alongside the farms, as well as dozens of small houses in the tree in the yard. Meanwhile they will mostly sleep within the keep, and who knows how far they will be extending the catacombs below it.

Hainuwele watches over the whole thing with a satisfied smile, a gem signifying royalty now sitting in her sake-cup-helmet.

Will comes out back.
"A-hem!" If this doesn't get all their attention, he stomps his foot; if that, too, fails, he knocks over some inconsequential building.
"This is NOT your land. You need to ask Arya's permission before building things. She was fine with the keep, but that doesn't mean she'll be fine with you guys taking over her entire yard. Idiots."

Quote from: Akroma on January 30, 2014, 08:36:48 am

"You come at a good time btw, we need to establish an income and a trade base for this city to flourish, so many of my people will soon go out and seek employment among the giants. Surely you can make sure they get a fair payment and proper working conditions, right?"

Will locates the least important building and puts his foot over it, threatening to crush it. If they keep ignoring him...
"Is anyone in this building?"
If not, he crushes it.

excuse me, but your memory seems to be falling a bit short. he already knocked one building down, and was clearly about to stomp another one.

1. "Inconsequential" and "Least Important" do NOT mean most important.

2. Sorry for being vague. I was trying to say that Will was working on doing what I said he would do earlier.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on January 30, 2014, 11:05:18 am

1) inconsequential or not, a building is a building that people have put effort and work in, and to them is likely a whole lot more consequential than to you. Frankly speaking, when a giant comes to your town and starts knocking over buildings, how important that building was is the last thing anyone cares about. when was the last time godzilla went to tokyo and everybody went "oh well, that one was abandoned anyway". That's what people think about *afterwards*, but the first reaction to a giant knocking over buildings is panic


2) there is nothing vague about "he knocks over an inconsequential building" or "if not, he crushes it"

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on January 30, 2014, 11:07:48 am

1. Again, Will had no intent of actually destroying important buildings. And given the stated half-complete nature of town, the buildings he destroyed and threatened were respectively barely started and just started. Also, both were empty and incredibly minor buildings.

2. The "Vague" part was the "Will's going to do what he threatened to do now" part.
My thought process:
"Will will try these things. But he doesn't do them all now."
"He's going to go do that last one now."

1. People have often not-ignored my long posts. How can you say that no one can react to it?

2. I'll keep that in mind.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on January 30, 2014, 11:32:32 am

the problem is the flow of the conversation, the causality is thrown out of the window




A sais (1) to B, which causes B to say (2). A reacts to (2) with (3), causing B to say (4), repeat ad nauseum until a conclusion has been reached.


now suddenly W comes in and sais (alpha) - (omega) in reaction to (1), (2), (3) and many more things. But in a proper conversation, (alpha) would have likely changed (2) to (2)' or would have taken the place of (2) itself, prompting a (3)', etc


in the end, the moment (alpha) is inserted, (2)....(n) no longer make much sense. The only thing that can properly be adressed would be (omega), but (omega) only exists as a reaction to (1)...(n) and (alpha)..(omega) standing as they are, without any ever influencing the other. So (omega) makes no sense, it would have to be (omega)'.


a good example was when Stella reacted to a conversation between Will and Hainuwele, where her (Omega) was ARE YOU NOT LISTENING


while, had the conversation been following causality, (omega)' would have been the result of Hainuwele actually reacting with (2)'




it might not bother you, but dear god, it bothers me immensely. Time paradox posts have no dynamic

The "Are you not listening" could, IIRC, have applied equally well to Will's statements, which covered much of the same ground.
And yeah. It's the worst system except for every other one that exists. After all, any other system often requires that characters ignore major events happening right in front of them, which is hardly ideal. You're complaining that "In this situation, Hai would have done 2'"; in this situation, Will would have said Omega. Same argument.

Will got drunk ONCE, and he knocked down a barely-started outhouse in an attempt to get the attention of people specifically ordered to ignore him*. I think Hai's exaggerating Will's destructive tendencies more than a little.

*And when that has happened, your only choice for getting their attention is to do something they can't ignore.

Kyle nods.
"I'd say no to the taxes thing but it makes me feel like a feudal lord and that makes me feel happy. Also, I am going to let Will and Stella stay there. But they'll live in the tower as the princess and her dragon."

Will's not there. He won't be annoyed by you calling him a princess. That was a pointless insult.

I should be able to run my plot tomorrow (well, from my point of view at least, your timezone may mean it's just later today), so please make sure your character sheets are up to date as I will be handling every single roll involved, whether it being teleporting in, or combat. It's not that I don't trust you all or- wait actually, yes, it is PRECISELY that I don't trust you all due to how high everyone rolls normally.

@GWG: in the early days of the bay12 forum, the forum migrated from one host service to another. back then, darkling was the standard setting, afterwards it was unavaiable for a while, but people bigged toady to make it avaiable. that was really a long time ago


I also agree with empiricist, some charsheets look like they need a severe updating, especialy in the department of special abilities and items gained in-game

for example Kyle has this damage reduction thing and the lilith armor, neither are mentioned, in the charsheet, but they make a huge difference

1. The "damage reduction thing" is part of his persona. Although it wouldn't hurt to explain stuff like that somewhere.
2. Sadly, there is no place for "Exotic/Unusual Items" in the sheet. We should fix that. People have been making/receiving stuff like that for a while--Selina's teleporty blanket, Will's server, Kyle's stuff--but no one's been bothering to keep track.

There would have been plot if they caught the perpetrator rather than getting misdirected. That scaffold collapse was just to make it seem like Louis was the bomber and collapsed the scaffold to cover his escape.

Rule #1 of GMing: Never, ever, ever assume that your players are competent and will follow your plot hook obediently. :P

In all honesty though, you should really have a back-up plot hook to get things back into gear.

Also you mentioned Louis specifically when it would have been more correct to say that the scaffold fell.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on January 31, 2014, 08:52:42 pm

The bomber did not realize their explosion would be contained, hence they would have been situated out of the potential blast radius but within visual sight and able to observe the scaffolding. Teleportation trails could have been used to track their previous positions. As they close in, the bomber would have attempted to shake them off. Then, it's a matter of taking in the people who were in that direction and figuring out who the bomber was.

Of course, the chances of that weren't too high... especially considering that they had 80 MIND for ranged targeting and lying to mind readers, I suppose the main interest to me was not the plot itself, but rather how the characters acted.

The fact that Conny chose to save the people who had a higher chance of surviving even though they may have been saved by the emergency services arriving.
The fact that Kyle, rather than using Merlin to heal possibly saving the other people who Conny and Marie did not heal, chose to investigate and track down a suspect.

That sort of characterisation was of far greater interest to me.

Exactly. The more healing you had, the less people die but the more likely the perp could have gotten away. This, this had a plot, it was more of a contingency measure. The plot IS what the characters did and why they did it. Why they helped or didn't help, whether they checked for news first or ran straight in.

Ashley is practicing her violin because OH HEY, NOBODY MENTIONED ANYTHING TO THE TELEPORTER.

Aside from the obvious evidence of the explosion, which could be felt at the house, we've been mind-chattering about it on open channels for a good while.
Geez, do we need to hold Ashley's hand too?

Assuming, of course, that Conny (and now Kyle) are aware of the whatever and not incapacitated. Which, since Kyle lived elsewhere and now is moving to an entirely different continent, isn't terribly likely.

If literally anyone in the main group except Conny got ambushed, getting Ashley there would require A. Conny (one of the, shall we say, less intellectual individuals in the group) to think of alerting Ashley and B. precious seconds to be wasted contacting and awakening her before she could respond. Given Ashley's mobility and firepower, and her ability to teleport people as well as herself, her presence is invaluable. She's endangering the lives of others...because she doesn't want "drama" in the background.

I have a feeling no one in the group would allow a demon to take their soul and instead just punch them in the face and do what they want.

Where's the plot waitlist? We should choose 2-3 people off that list and have their plots run...simultaneously. With or without internal collusion.

Afterlife Stuff

Didn't I previously say that pretty much everyone's soul went to Hell under the guardianship of one of the demons or another?

No, you said that souls are split between heaven and hell depending on whether they're deemed as suitable in heaven. Shit I said was a completely different story that works around that to make a much more interesting dynamic than 'lol demons always get everything unless you are good christian person'.

Less "Good Christian person," more "Fit to be a cog in the machine".

And I'd have no problem with your version, if I hadn't established mine so firmly. And built it into the core of the hellish economy.

Actually, I specifically built it so that it didn't contradict yours in any way.

The demons would be fully capable of having their economy, as anyone that they managed to sway could easily be made to believe in hell, I mean it's kinda a big thing nowadays, and at this point there aren't many people left who don't believe in it, so demons of Nuriel's rank wouldn't know the difference because, again, recently there haven't been many people who don't believe in hell.

All I did was make the meta a bit more interesting than the boring old heaven/hell dichotomy.

And don't pretend yours wasn't, heaven being a machine and hell being basically anarchy and shit are pretty much par for the course.

I never pretended it wasn't a similar dichotomy, but Heaven is basically nothing but a bureaucracy (not terribly unusual, but typically not paired against a Hell) and Hell is more or less like a combination of a corporate battlefield and medieval Europe, but the powerful people all have magic.

And what fraction of people do you think believe they will go to Hell, one way or another? That requires a massive scaling down of Hell away from what I said...and it also completely contradicts the mechanism, explained at least once or twice.

You're not understanding.

A majority of people in the world believe in a heaven/hell dichotomy.

Therefore, when they die, they go to either heaven or hell.

if they honestly believe in samsara, then they get punted to their next life.

if they believe that the afterlife is an eternal bouncy castle... well, that'll be a boring afterlife because that's proably not too popular of a religion.

Also, I think I should probably be the one to define heaven since I control God, but meh Idgaf. Then again, they might have changed a lot of shit while she's been out <_<

<_< again, you're misunderstanding.

What you believe the entry requirements are is immatterial.

THEY make that choice.

Your belief only decides who gets to make it.

You can be a devout christian, but not fit heaven's criteria and be damned.

You can believe in heaven and hell, and think you've fucked up horribly and will go to hell, but Heaven needs you, so you get taken by heaven.

etc. etc.

And this expansion has been needed as soon as another pantheon was brought into things, because they have afterlives too, and because the pantheons exist, it follows logically that the other shit in them exists, too.

I like the idea of multiple plots being run, especially so that we can see them mutually interfere. Also so that the PCs of their respective GMs can take part in a plot without being accused of having metaknowledge.

Not helping matters are the inconsistencies of Biblical verses on of it's deeds or beliefs that get you into heaven.

Why would they need to keep up?
1. Will sees Hai.
2. Will determines where Hai, on a ballistic trajectory, will be when she zooms by his head.
3. Will outs his hand where Hai will be.
4. Will closes his hand when the lilliputian hits it.

sheer prediction does not replace hand-eye coordination. he needs to move his hand very fast and then close his hand at the exact right time. Dex plays a role here, and not a small one




I mean what, does Wills Mind stat completely replace his Dex stat?


I mean, he just predicts where every enemy attack will go, so of course he dodges them easily. likewise he predicts where they'll move, so he easily hits, all thanks to the power of minmaxing?


sheer intuition means nothing when your body can't keep up. the ability to make very precise movements, especially when moving very fast is hand-eye coordination and muscle memory from training, or put together, dexterity. It's the difference between putting theory into practise. Like a scientist and an engineer. I know a ton of stuff about the haber bosch process, because I study chemistry, but even if I had accurate blueprints, high quality tools and months of time, I'd not be able to properly built a fucking reactor

Smaller than you'd think. Where do you think Will is? How are you getting high speeds without being visible a good way out? Pretty much the only thing you need timing for, if you know their trajectory (which is exactly what Will's power can do), is close your hand...and wouldn't you know, people have a reflex for that kind of stuff.

Well, it's a possibility Elf and I discussed. In actual combat, it costs mana, but out of combat mana is restored fast enough that we don't actually track it.

There's still a difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.


Also, simply from a game point of view, that would means your statpool is 40 points higher than it actually would be, because your mind stat is used as the dex stat as well, at no downsides




yes, no downsides. In this game, Mana regenerates insanely fast, and knowing Elf, using your Mind stat to replace your Dex stat probably costs so little, it will actually regen faster than it's being used up. Unless Mana does not regain during combat, which from my point of view, it absolutely shouldn't. Even without relevant stats, everybody has 150 Mana, and minor uses just cost 10 Mana. So it would regen just as fast as it's being used, and that is if you *only* post once per turn, without any extra posts for dialouge etc.


People like Will, with a huge relevant stat will find it very difficult to ever run out of Mana if it regenerates during combat.




and yeah, what Kyle said, it does come from behind, but that is besides the point. Theory =/= Practise

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 02, 2014, 05:39:19 pm

rather than replacing Dex, I'd recommend that the ability is rolled on, and on success and mana use, can give a bonus to a dex roll right after it.


it represents that knowing exactly what to do is very helpfull, but still requires proper hand-eye coordination to actually pull it off

Quote

1. No, Will cannot use his Mind stat for everything dexterity can do. Only some things, and only with an explanation given if demanded.
2. I'd call not having any kind of superhuman ability past that (unless you count "Dispense Plot Information") a pretty big downside. When Will has to measure up to living flamethrowers, shy girls who can make anything, and lilliputians who can paralyze people with a poke, he needs something to be more than Mr. Exposition. (And so far, he hasn't been much more.)
3. Will has a Dexterity of 18. Even if his Mind applied to everything, he would only be 12 points ahead of the curve, not 40.

Quote

and yeah, what Kyle said, it does come from behind, but that is besides the point. Theory =/= Practise

Well, putting aside that Elf said that Will's power applies to practice, the use I was having Will use it for--determining Hai's trajectory--is 100% theory.

because it was already "automaticaly figure out the solution to the problem", but also "also automaticaly can do it"


how did elf ever get the idea that Hainuweles ability was too similar to Wills and needed changing? Wills is miles above any ability in the game in sheer brokenness

What part of "Move hand to spot near head" is so super-difficult?

Once you have a bit of knowledge of where the object is going to go, catching it is easy. Think of it as juggling one ball, except you only need to catch it and you have a superpower that lets you forsee where it will go.
Or as catching a ball with such a superpower. Either or.

stop restricting the practise to just the event at hand. I am speaking more general. The abuse potential is absolutely immense. The only "drawback" is that it costs Mana, and as I've said, Mana regeneration in this game is pointlessly huge, so it's just a strawman drawback to point at when trying to explain the non-broken-ness.


it's an ability that always makes you know exactly what to do, and now it even gives you the ability to do so. It's simply broken. It's a permanent 22-point stat increase, at no cost whatsoever.




that being said, yes, it is that difficult, especialy if the attack comes from behind. When a ball is thrown at you, knowing where it will go is just half the rent. You also need to be able to move very fast and very precise. Your power is intuition, not reflexes or coordination. Knowing exactly every theorethical step of a waltz wont make you not step on some toes

The only stat he lacks points in is Magic, which is logical since he doesn't use magic and Elf said superpowers are based on Mind.

And yet, once you know where a ball is, it's positively easy to catch if it's thrown straight at you. Even a child can do it.

the problem is not wether or not it will be used that way, but the problem is that it can be used that way without any penalty or repercussion. Imagine it like a brokenly overpowered gun in an FPS. Just because you can turn off the overpowered secondary fire mode and use the okayish main fire mode doesn't make the gun any less broken, nor does it guarantee that you'll whip out secondary fire whenever it damn well is convenient

You misunderstand.
If I abused Nuriel's power to make a sun, I would be called out on it and Elf would put a stop to it.
If I abuse Will's power unreasonably, I'll be getting more people than the one who keeps arguing over everything I do that doesn't fit into her view of what I can complaining about it, and again Elf would put a stop to it.

The only time that Elf agreed to that was when I compared it to Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

And, again...let's say he's able to do all that. Let's say that Elf has abandoned all reason and care for the game. Will still has two big restrictions:
1. He has to know what he's dealing with to some extent. He's Tattletale, not Contessa.
2. He is competing with 100% superhuman badasses (who can also abuse their superhuman abilities past their limits for the same reason Will can). Frankly, at that point he needs all the advantages he can get.

Consider: When has Will contributed anything other than possibly-accelerated* exposition to the party?
*Compare to the X-Man Kylun, whose power of sound mimicry is basically useless, but the authors gave the X-Men's opponents a bunch of voice-activated locks to make him useful. On a similar principle, some--perhaps much--of the data Will digs up would have been discovered sooner or possibly later.

Well, Angel is a little kid (and not in an exceptionally religious household), and Will's world's version of the Bible is kinda...different, but Nuriel should have pretty applicable Biblical knowledge.

Yeah, even I agree that this is getting out of hand. Kj is allowed to RP how he wants. So what if Kyle wants to attack Grandiose instead of the angels. I see it as an oppurtinity for Kyle to have a real damn rival who could actually help Kyle become a better person. Besides. Grand did attack Selina. Kyle would have probably found that out by the time Grand appeared in his garage.

No one bothered to try and reason.
There's no reason for Kyle to want to save any of Yuri's family given what they've done to her.
The angel is just doing what it was told to do and not actively bad.
He was threatned by the person earlier in time and meant harm to people.

Me yelling at you =\= me telling you how to RP your character.
It's me stating my opinion.

---

Plenty of people tried to reason with the Angels. They starting becoming hostile, so other people took action instead of just taking straight up attacks.
You're right that Kyle has no reason to want to save Yuri's family, but the Angel is meaning to kill this fragment of Shys'm Caes attached to Yuri, which will harm her. He has stated in the past that he really does care for his friends.
It's still attacking the group, and the group is using self-defense. It's fair.
The past is the past. Even though Grand was threatening in the past, he's helping them right now. It makes almost no sense for Kyle to be attacking someone who is helping him, despite the hatred.

There are two established fragments.
One is on Yuri, the other on her mom.
They threatened to kill Yuri's fragment, and feed its essence to Yuri's mother and make her become a crazy bitch.

So yeah, just as a note, if this ends up requireing emergency evac (possible, I have contingencies in place, but yeah) it's Kyle's fault. He could within reason be tying up Seles completely and running Tank while everyone else wails on her and shit, and that would probably help immensely since he's the only team tank right now IIRC.

DEX affects initiative, with actions happening sequentially. High DEX means you move first, low means last (so Shis pretty much always pops last)
Opposed DEX for normal combat and magic bolts, MAG vs MIND for direct magic/enchantments/curses.


If the attack hits, damage is d20+(relevant stat). If it succeeds and gets a raise (basically, if your success is twice that of what it beat) you get a crit, which does double damage and requires a DC50 END save or the target loses their next action.

Post by: ragnarok97071 on February 03, 2014, 02:57:32 am

Interesting.


Also, as a note on the fact that Seles took multiple actions:


Your first standard action each round is free. That is, it doesn't have any penalties unless you're cursed or something.


You can take additional actions after this at a cumulative -10 penalty as long as it doesn't reduce the relevant stat by more than half.


For example, someone with 20 DEX could make 2 physical attacks, one at -0 and one at -10.


at 40, you can make 3, one at -0, one at -10, and one at -20.


At 60, you can make 4, -0, -10,-20,-30


and so on.

Basically you can make another attack every 20 points in a stat.

At the group's location. If it gets hit with entropy magic, it will still function, but will be unusable for a period of time as distortions will rend everything near it for a while.

It's essentially the thing Cyrielle partially blocked Ra's beam with. Except even more powerful so that it's essentially stable, the boundary between it and Creation has been solidified so that it may be held. Creation is preventing it from growing but can't close it anymore. Hitting it with entropy, antimagic and whatnot is going to screw up Creation's attempts, allowing less stable distortions to rip into the area near it.

So basically, if one of the enemies to try to block it with entropy, they get screwed over even more. If they hit it though, well, you probably don't want to be the person wielding it.

Also, by mental issues, I mean mental issues. Using it won't be too bad as long as you don't exceed the output your roll defines. You can exceed it, but well, if you do, it may compel you to rip out and destroy your own reproductive organs.

It probably works the best output wise on Will due to his high MIND, but it won't activate consistently. Shys'm Caes would be able to use it the most consistently, but with much lower output, plus it's going to continuously backfire on her since she's too strongly Creation-based.

It won't reach that stage unless they try to use more power than the MIND resistance roll allows. Stay within that roll and it's going to screw up your social life. It's only when you begin trying to use more power than your MIND roll allows that you start getting fucked up. Though even then, you'd wait until combat is over to try that.

Yeah, I looked at it and realized that since Cyrielle's magic could pierce through the shield, it would be quite useful, but I can't be online consistently so I decided to reconcile the IC with the OOC by having her create a means to attack.

The good news is, it provides absolute protection from entropy magic. The bad news is it protects you by exchanging it for a false vacuum metastability event which tends to be worse than heat-death :P

I suppose if all else fails, you could throw it at them and hope they're ignorant enough to try and entropy it or fire it at you, but it probably can't be retrieved until after the battle if you try that.

I should note that normally, if entropy magic hits a consolidated distortion or it gets otherwise siphoned, it gets forcibly deconsolidated as the solidified boundary protects the rift from Creation is partially breached. Except in this case, the rift is powerful enough that the boundary is to protect its user and other parts of Creation rather than the other way around.

I'm considering establishing that Hell has a few of these to protect against Angels and that these were the bargaining chips used to give the Nom de Guerre 'Andromalius' a position as a noble.

Only issue is, if Demons are too Void based, those weapons will backfire when they use it as well, hence limiting their deployment to constructs that can be controlled by a Demon. They're powerful, but it isn't going to stop a full-power Demons Run rampage nor a coordinated assault due to their cool-down.

But yes, if an ancient Demon with massive MIND and decent MAG uses it indirectly, it's going to be unpleasant.

That ought to help her use it. Still not too reliable but high power.

hmm, Rags modifications to the combat system seem useful.


I've PMd Elf a lot to learn how the stuff works once I get to my plot, and he told me that for damage, roll a d6, multiply with 5.


Thats...rather low, compared to the average health things have in this game.


1d20+strength/mag seems reasonable to me, it should speed combat up.


As for multiple actions, what about reactions? How many attacks can come unto a single target until said target is no longer able to dodge all of them?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on February 03, 2014, 05:09:07 am

Not entirely sure, I think it's just a roll for each and rather than having a hard limit, the chance of passing every dodge/resist roll decreases with the quantity of rolls. Though depending on the attack, other factors apply.

For example, if an enemy stands still and charges an entropy shield, they won't get a dodge or resist roll against a distortion shot as it moves at c fraction speeds and will be unaffected or even enhanced by the field. Though attacks like that tend to come with a drawback.

Man, would like to enter combat now, but I have class soon, but will join in once I am back. Though I must wonder just how affected angels are by accupuncture. I mean, they are using human bodies as vessels, and the accupressure fucks with the flow of magic within the body - it should do something, right?




((apart from that, humm, we are looking at 30-40 dex and 40-50 str on the red-head alone, coupled with probably a high end and a high mind as well. Hah, and when I asked Elf on "what kinda stats does an enemy superior to the players have" he told me "a pool of 100". Man, I really need to polish up some of the already statted villains for my plot, after the angels even the final boss looks like a pushover...))

Well, if you consider their use as a vessel to be theurgy, yes. Could fuck with their connection to the actual angels. Assuming of course she manages to get close enough. The shield may be reactivated and the new weapon can't even damage it.

The angel is just doing what it was told to do and not actively bad.

When a beehive gets attacked by a bear, do they worry about if the bear is being "bad" by doing so? No, they attack it. Now imagine that the bear is a bearthulhu who will not only smash their current beehive, but also all other beehives in the forest, and by the way the forest is turning into a barren wasteland and everything in it is going to die.

So yeah, just as a note, if this ends up requireing emergency evac (possible, I have contingencies in place, but yeah) it's Kyle's fault. He could within reason be tying up Seles completely and running Tank while everyone else wails on her and shit, and that would probably help immensely since he's the only team tank right now IIRC.

It wouldn't be a time paradox, it'd just be non-canon. Basically we'd be dicking around as per usual, except it'd have even less of an impact on the game than normal. It'd just be to pass the time.

14*5=70
22*2=44
70+44=114
114*3=342

I assume that the x3 was supposed to apply to the whole thing. After all...
1. If it was supposed to apply to Strength only, Elf could have written (Endx5)+(Strx6)
2. Not doing so makes Strength more important than Endurance.

I wasn't attacking Dumah this round anyway. I was going for the red-head, the one who has the three attacks right at the start of the battle. Specificaly, the vessel, the human part of it, to make it more difficult for the angel to act through it.

That's her superpower. That's why there is Mana involved. The entire meridian thing is the fluff explanation, but if it's going to be held constantly against me because lol, chinese traditional medicine only works on grunt enemies, but 90% of all enemies are immune because lol, then I find it unfair. The accupressure is clearly supernatural in origin. Half of the players don't really bother explaining through fluff how the stuff they do work, and Hainuwele gets denied using her superpower because I bothered with a somewhat interesting, fluff-explanation, rather than just putting "Curse magics" in the superpower field and just willing them to happen?. Come on. 90% of all enemies being immune to Hainuwele is simply neither fair nor fun.

Except that the effect she specified was specific. She didn't try to lock down Seles' muscles, or cause sluggish response in the nerves, she blocked signals from the angel.


Because the angel is pretty much chilling and eating popcorn at the moment while reminding Seles not to murder everyone too hard, this will do all of jack and shit.

Then be so kind and retcon my action to the target that is at hand.


a) I mean, how was I supposed to know that Selesarna (assuming that is the human vessel?) already had endboss-tier stats on her own, without the angel in question being responsible for that

and

b) that appearantly, angel and vessel can act independantly of eachother with no problem. what's the point of the vessel then?


you might think it was perfectly clear, but your posts were very long, and the actual situation entirely unclear. There was confusion, and basicaly, I still have the feeling that basicaly everything apart from the appearantly unimportant vessels are simply immune to my superpower.
had I known the actual situation beforehand, my actions would have been clearer. For starters, what I have written was a fluff explanation. The actual action is the bold text.
That is, the thing with the three actions and gigantic damage output right at the beginning of the round is the target of using my status-inducing power for a debuff. I wrote Asariel rather then Selesarna because I thought they were acting in unison. The intent of the attack is stated in bold.

Even if you'd still used Asariel's name, you'd still be hitting the same body, but the reason I said it wouldn't do much is because you specifically said that you were targetting a spot that would disrupt communications between the two.

Hey, I'd be a lot more interesting if I wasn't A. so often joining combats late and B. giving my characters magic with so little ability to vary. I mean, I've done fancy stuff from tie to time, but frankly all of Nuriel's variations have just been pinning adjectives and adverbs onto "blast with fire".

To be fair, Nuriel could probably do some cool things here with her magic.

why not aim to burn specific body parts? If the fire is just kinda going everywhere, it's not doing much, if you concentrate the intensity of the flame into a narrow flame...laser? and went for, say, the eyes, it already does a lot more than just damage. the damage stays the same, but it also does stuff




or aim for a fir hydrant, to blast the enemy with scalding hot steam like standing in a geysir, or maybe similar to what rag suggests, melt asphalt, let the enemies feet sink in it, and then have another players (are there any water or ice powers?) freeze the damn thing to trap the enemy?

edit: or surround the enemy with a fire-wall to block their movement without actually hurting them (possibly in preparation of a very slow, but very devastating blast the next round)

Fire hydrants are important. And also not made of wood. She summons flames, not machine guns.

I am aware that fire =/= laser, I meant similarly to a laser, you should *concentrate* your fire as a precision weapon, rather than just blasting the whole thing. A deep, intensive burn on a crucial place may do more than just burning the entire area

Nuriel conjures fire. She doesn't conjure heat. Anyways, unless you're getting really, really hot, it's usually better to burn the whole body than just one spot.

In addition, we usually face enough enemies that burning a bunch at once is useful.

whoops. Well...Will should flirt more, I guess. The whole beastiality thing with Stella...


((as if architectuality is any better :P))

edit: rechecking the rule changes that were posted earlier:

If the attack hits, damage is d20+(relevant stat). If it succeeds and gets a raise (basically, if your success is twice that of what it beat) you get a crit, which does double damage and requires a DC50 END save or the target loses their next action.

so that was what all these stun rolls were for, also explains the fuck-huge damage. On the other hand, it implies sel has been critting non-stop.

I agree with what Will said earlier, there is a middle path between grunt and final bossfight...this one doesnt seem very midling to me

Not really. She has to double your roll. If you have a reasonable DEX score, she likely won't. The issue is more these characters with single-digit DEX scores.

Stella's a person, too. A human person who happens to be half-dragon. And in a strady relationship with Will, who isn't interested in polyamory.

Post by: Akroma on February 03, 2014, 01:56:54 pm

doubling the roll is fine and dandy, on an attack roll.


it was however Nef who was attacking her, and she rolled Dex to dodge it. A critical dodge automaticaly giving you a free action seems like a not very well thought out thing.


just from a balancing thought, game-design wise. It makes Dex the single most powerful stat. You don't really need any Str, your damage gets a d20 on top and is usualy doubled anyway, and you don't need much end, as with high dex, you dont get hit much.




in Elf original system there was, upon being hit, a compared str vs end roll. if end passed, no damage was taken.


while I think that complete demage negation is silly, I do want to suggest at least the possibility of using high endurance to reduce the damage, to allow tanky players *any* chance of survival

Post by: ragnarok97071 on February 03, 2014, 02:00:59 pm

T
High END mitigating damage is modeled by it giving you the lion's share of your Health.

And I don't care how tough you are, getting stabbed is still going to fucking hurt.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 03, 2014, 02:17:21 pm

yeah, but that's it. all it does is give you health. same for your strength, it doesn't do much


meanwhile Dex: lets you avoid damage altogether, which in essence, has a bigger influence on your health (mind you, even against most spells, not just physical attacks)
                          lets you double your damage, which in essence means it has pretty much the same influence on your damage output as your strength does




a character is perfectly fine with having just high dex and mind, everything else is entirely optional.


from a game design point of view, there is no incentive for any other playstyle than having high dex and mind, as any other option pales entirely.

also, what mcclay said :P

Ah, yes, Dexterity, the classic Stat to Rule them All.

You could always do what some games in the RtD section figured out and split it into Agility and Dexterity.

Post by: ragnarok97071 on February 03, 2014, 02:23:46 pm

I am not writing a turnpost on my phone.

Also, counter only applies in Melee, and having a high damage stat is important too. If someone crits with 10 str, they do substantially less damage than a crit at 20 str, and by a pretty wide margin.

Post by: Akroma on February 03, 2014, 02:33:18 pm

nope, even with just strength 10, it's a 10+d20, which can result int a 60 damage crit. One could easily just put them *all* in dex to do so much more than just adding a tiny amount of more damage to your roll, afterall with dex, you always hit, have a significantly higher chance of criting, a significantly higher chance to take no damage at all, and even if you should take some, you won't get critted yourself.


the only other stat you need is mind




there needs to be an incentive for endurance and strength, to keep things varied. People who want to play as the Thing should be able to do so, not be rendered pointless by doing so. as it stands, the only counter to a character with high dex and mind is, well, a character with even bigger dex. why would anyone upon level up put stats anywhere else?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on February 03, 2014, 02:36:05 pm

A few things.

1. 10 points in Strength doubles your average damage. 10 points in Dexterity gives you another 10% chance to hit, plus a few other things, which still don't do anything like doubling average DPS.
2. Combat is a pretty small part of the game. Heck, stats are pretty minor, outside combat and mystery. Some people aren't trying to optimize their characters for combat.
3. Magic is also useful.
4. I'm considering bringing in a version of Minmax to mock Akroma's character design concepts.

well, even if I manage to debuff the red-head angel into non-threatness, the other angel is still behind a shield that Hainuwele can likely not get through, and seems to be charging something really devastating, likely an AoE ((I hope Rag has the mercy to make it do less than 105 damage, or at least somewhat resistable, else that would OHKO me..)), so someone who can get past the shield really needs to start working on the actual main boss.

If it is one and it's still entropy, a shot from the gauntlet may be able to take her out if it travels through it...

Random thought I had.

Since Cyrielle's thingies cause small explosions when introduced to lower density than the previous surface would that mean that Cyrielle could level a small building in theory?

No, they also stop if they cause an explosion. Though if she presses her weapon against a wall, she can fire straight through it.

Um... is the gauntlet balanced properly? I thought that the cool-down, precision required, large quantity of rolls (most attacks use one or two this uses three: one to activate, one to hit, one to damage), entropy vulnerability, mental illness and making the user rip out their reproductive systems if they're too reckless would be good balancing factors.

But considering the amount of discussions centering around sterilizing/neutering Kyle, that last bit may be considered by some as an additional "benefit" :P

yeah, she is a prime example why the current rules are kinda stupid. one would think that 40 strength and 30 endurance would amount to something, but with only 3 dex, she never hits, she always bgets hit, and with a very high chance she gets constantly critted, so she even does less damage than a dex character

given that at least one of the enemies has somewhere between 40 and 59 dex, it makes a huge difference. look at the damage, so far only one of her attacks wasnt a crit. it has an incredible effect, especially if the enemy even gains a free attack (not even at a penalty) on criting the dodge roll

Of course she's getting crits like crazy. Most people only have 20 points for their highest stat, so she's running around with 3 times as much DEX. For a bunch of people who saved the world, Maria et. all have really terrible stats, honestly.

given that at least one of the enemies has somewhere between 40 and 59 dex, it makes a huge difference. look at the damage, so far only one of her attacks wasnt a crit. it has an incredible effect, especially if the enemy even gains a free attack (not even at a penalty) on criting the dodge roll

Of course she's getting crits like crazy. Most people only have 20 points for their highest stat, so she's running around with 3 times as much DEX. For a bunch of people who saved the world, Maria et. all have really terrible stats, honestly.

Well...Demons are made by other demons, usually powerful ones. It's more like mitosis than pregnancy or whatever, but it isn't much like either.
Demons are theoretically immortal. Any demon, from the least imp to the greatest archdemon, will live until the end of time--or, more likely, until something stronger kills them. I'm not sure what happens after that, though.

Quote

Typical demonic lifespans are usually "only" around several millenia. 400,000 years is pretty rare for those that don't get to the top. It's a demon-eat-demon world.

Quote

Demons aren't inherently defined. Ex. If Sen is a paper demon, it's a conscious choice she made at some point. Similarly with gender and whatnot.
Young demons are weak and fairly loyal to their creators, but cunning. They already know basic stuff, generally about all they (usually) need to survive and prosper except skills of various sorts.

Basic gist of it.
Somethings aren't in the pms, but it would take a while to prowl the forum posts to find.

Depends on what part of it. The Twilight isn't any coherent sphere, it's basically the miscellaneous section.

Fate has no denizens since nothing can exist within it. Technically, Annie and Wheatley aren't so much a part of it as much as they are representations of the universe's tendency to continue unto Fate.

Wall Street does. They're pretty much all neutral though and spend their time doing business beyond the comprehension of humanity.

That isn't a very good description for characterisation seeing as there are plenty of Void and Creation entities that fuck with reality as well. I don't really know. If they represent the absence of courage, Void; if they represent the concept of fear, Creation; if else, then ask @Ragnarok.

Well, they don't do any.
Basically they come in three main groups.
NPs:  They warp reality to make the victim supply their own fear and thus they don't have to stay out in the open like the other two groups to make sure they don't do to much scaring. Normally takes the form of objects related to creative pursuits.

Cs:  They Stay out in the open in their object form where they'll be in constant contact with a specific person or persons. They add the fear themselves and moderate themselves as they have a very, very good idea of how far they can go.

Ds:  They take fear from paranoia and normally take the form of dolls and other things that inspire an uncanny valley effect. They are constantly active and let themselves be seen before harvesting to speed up the process. They also kill victims on occasion.

And that's what I have written for them right now.

whats this with there being so many Grands btw?

if all of them have the same attack-capacity as the main grand, isn't that incredibly OP?

I mean, it increases the attack output by 100% for every clone. Where is the balancing downside?

also man, Grands paintification made the actions of 5 characters make nothing. We really need to work on our teamplay. Since the paintification is only temporarily (especialy if the DC is only 60), the whole thing helped Selesarna more than it helped us, as the timing prevented only damage to Seles, but did nothing to stop her from taking out Ashley.
For efficent enemy-take downs, I recommend the use of such techniques should be delayed to the end of the round.

Well well well, I guess Rag was pretty tired then


I suppose the turn might see a bit of a retcon once he has the time to do so


He is in the right however, to make Hainuwele miss her opportunity. I *did* say I would delay my action to the end of the end init queue, mostly because I thought my target would still be there at that time. I will be more specific from now on, and delay my action until a specified time, if at all.




Of course Rag, it would be super-nice if you could just bump Hainuwele before the paintification. You don't have to, it would just be really nice  ;)

Grand only has 15% of his paint gauge left if my math is right. The first two grands did disolve, the last 4 only have enough fight left to cast one spell each before Grand runs down to 1% of his paint gauge. He is also able to regenerate his gauge by the way, except it leaves him completely vulnerable. I'll probably do that now actually for my turn.

Also was playing minecraft or I would have replies earlier.

Having two Grandiose clones attempt portratification. Doubt it will work due to entrophic forces on Dumah.

well, it may take a couple of turns, but I feel these guys have a lot of health, so there is two ways the thing will go




a) the fight will still be going when will arrives, and will being there may prove useful, out of sheer numbers and figuring stuffs out


b) rag is just planning to have Dumah fire her super blast thing to destroy our house, and we can't stop it because plot, both will teleport/angel move away once it is fired.




I am thinking b), because clearly, these guys are final boss tier enemies, so this is just a pre-lost battle to intimidate us, and by getting revenge gives us a motivation to find these angels and destroy them.


whoops, I accidentaly all the meta

Grandiose can prevent the painted angel from being saved. On command he can make the painting fly to his hand since its his magic containing the angel. after that he can just enter his realm and use said realm to completely bind the angel from escaping by overloading the angels affinity with his own.

And all the meta from the wrong games. RotMG "plots" are often much shorter than you would expect. See: Grandiose.

And on that note, didn't someone say Grandiose's paintings were still vulnerable to damage? The angel won't be coming out if we incinerate the painting.

dex 18 is not zero combat ability. nobody is currently using the katana, and while I am not entirely sure how this gauntled-stuff works, it was implied with huge a mind stat, it would be absolutely devastating against the angels




as for the painting being damaged, there was something about that the attack needs to have the opposite affinity or something. I don't have a clue about affinities, but I think damaging the angel inside the painting may be more difficult than just throwing criminals :P

The katana method suggested was a one-shot deal (and normal attacking would fall prey to Will's minimal Strength and nonexistent relevant skills), the gauntlet is effectively such, and Will doesn't even have a little pistol.
Face it, Will was not built for combat. Maybe sniping, which he did to great effect back in the crossover, but again no gun.

It was mentioned that cutting up the painting would cut up the person inside when he came out. I'd say there's a certain 1:1 affinity there.

Yo, thread!

I'm busy doing math ferociously to see if Neferis has a shot in hell of performing her action.

I need two estimates: the contact area of her hands (strength is measured in force over area, so I need the area) and her strength compared to normal clay. Preferably in metric units.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

whats her action?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Twi on February 04, 2014, 02:04:12 pm

Her action was to try to mess with Dumah's legs to throw off its aim. I figure if I can establish how hard it is for her to support it... (not necessarily lift, mind, I have no idea about her 'muscle' ability, because how the hell am I supposed to figure out her power. I mean, I could figure out how much work is needed to lift Dumah an appreciable distance and then try to figure out if she contains enough energy to do so, or I could try to figure out how much power Dumah's weight is capable of generating and figure out if Neferis can do higher. Either one sounds difficult.)

her stats say that she has a strength of 40, and also weighs several tons

to wrestle someone out of the way, that should be helpful. I am thinking Dumah is more of a char with huge magic related stats, rather than raw strength

Yeah, but we never established what that strength means. As for her weight, kind of irrelevant except maybe in determining whether she'd topple over if she lifts Dumah. although if you can find a way to relate that to compressive strength, more power to ya!

Post by: Akroma on February 04, 2014, 02:08:30 pm

her strength means she takes a strength roll and adds 40 to it, and Dumah makes an opposed strength roll + whatever strength she has


since she is currently aiming and charging, she might be standing still, so the relevant dex roll might not be relevant.

Actually it makes sense. Rag used the Scorpion from Halo as reference. That is a tank. Dumah is a giant robot walker thing. It's not that unreasonable, the things at least 5 times as tall as a person judging from the sketch he made.

Quote from: Twi on February 04, 2014, 02:04:12 pm

Her action was to try to mess with Dumah's legs to throw off its aim. I figure if I can establish how hard it is for her to support it... (not necessarily lift, mind, I have no idea about her 'muscle' ability, because how the hell am I supposed to figure out her power. I mean, I could figure out how much work is needed to lift Dumah an appreciable distance and then try to figure out if she contains enough energy to do so, or I could try to figure out how much power Dumah's weight is capable of generating and figure out if Neferis can do higher. Either one sounds difficult.)


Anyways, if I can establish that, I can probably get a reasonable DC estimate for this particular action.

dex 18 is not zero combat ability. nobody is currently using the katana, and while I am not entirely sure how this gauntled-stuff works, it was implied with huge a mind stat, it would be absolutely devastating against the angels

The katana method suggested was a one-shot deal (and normal attacking would fall prey to Will's minimal Strength and nonexistent relevant skills), the gauntlet is effectively such, and Will doesn't even have a little pistol.
Face it, Will was not built for combat. Maybe sniping, which he did to great effect back in the crossover, but again no gun.

Quote from: Projeck37 on February 04, 2014, 11:04:02 am

The Katana's power runs on Mag stat, which Will has 0 as.

Actually, it doesn't. Kyle was enhancing his strikes using MAG, but it's actual ability is entirely MIND-based since unlike the gauntlet, it doesn't rip any more holes in reality, it just changes its form for a split second. If he gets a high enough roll, he could probably make it weave and slash in and out of the painting.

---

Also, I should note a mechanical difference seeing as equipment being made by Cyrielle is used. Since she uses theurgy (calling upon an external power) rather than true magic, it's near impossible to mass produce her equipment easily as Fate has no obligation to have those pieces of equipment remain consolidated. Though in return, Fate magic is near useless against her not that it matters very much (well, aside from friendly fire) seeing as there is usually only about one contractor active at a time.

This is more or less why Creation and Void entities can't use the gauntlet properly, because the power has no obligation to actually form a beam, instead, it follows its natural reaction to rip into Creation/Void. Backfire is when the power doesn't go through the gauntlet and tear into the universe in front of it but instead tears into its user.

I have no idea what the contact area of her hands would be, honestly. I do know that she's stupidly dense though, and her strength is probably much greater than granite. I have no actual numbers to work with though.

I actually have a number for granite! IT's literally orders of magnitude above what's necessary here.

Also, I realized something. Dumah turns the ground to dust where she walks, right? This means she's basically walking on lubricant.

Sliding Dumah around is stupidly easy.  If one assumes a coefficient of friction of 0.1, then pushing her takes the same amount of force as lifting 6.6 tons. This is probably a relatively HIGH estimate. Teflon, which you're probably familiar with, has a C of F of <0.1 for a great many things.

Or convince her that Neferis will knock it off course just as it fires and have her simulate it falling over and firing into the sky. Possibly only frying a few birds and a plane at worst.

That could work as well, she doesn't know how dense the angel is after all. However, her simulation only imposes damage and healing only, so after it is imposed, Dumah will still be upright albeit with no charge and stuff missing from the sky.

Since I'm AFK at the high activity times now, @RangerCado gets control of Alice. MIND to activate simulation. MAG to impose simulation. Her simulations are based off of her current perception and hence can be wrong. For example, she may think that she can shatter a consolidated distortion if she doesn't know that they can't break, but if she simulates it and imposes it, the distortion will break despite the fact that it shouldn't be possible.

For reference, here's what I have so far:

Neferis could support Dumah's weight on two hands. EASILY.

However, according to the only mathematical estimate of her lifting capacity I've gotten (from Elf of all people), she couldn't actually lift Dumah up in the first place.

She could shove it about quite easily, though.Bismuth could probably manage it too. She's still around, I completely forgot about her! D:

Bismuth is a specialist on metal, and the laceration thereof.


since the enemy is a tripod, she should cut off the tip of one of the angel-feet to make he rlose balance, making it so that nef can easily toppled her over and the LAZOR goes into the sky

Well.

Dumah masses 66 metric tons.

With the estimate I got of hand area, and standard acceleration of gravity...

The pressure on Nef's hands would be 150 megapascals.

Granite's strength is ten to seventy GIGAPASCALS.

Elf's estimate was based on brick, which 'only' gives a range of say, 210 megapascals to 420 megapascals.

Also, Joan and Asuna are not strength specialists. Selebren has 30, though, so if she was around she could assist. She is not around.

Annie and Wheatley could work rather well.

yeah, she is rather small, so her angle of attack is rather far away from the enemies center of gravity. rather than just shoving her, you would kinda..topple her? Spin her around and make her fall right on top of you with a well aimed body check.


thats why I suggest Bismuth should try and cut of the tip of one of the legs. that leg would make a perfect point of attack in toppling her

Three to four times her mass is more than enough to move Demah's leg around though. She weighs a couple metric tons, after all (which also means that she's denser than granite, but eh).

Not enough to LIFT it. Dumah masses 66 tons, remember? At two to three metric tons, Neferis could lift six to twelve metric tons. If we assume it would take a third of Dumah's weight to lift up one leg, that'd be 22 metric tons.

However, with what Akroma pointed out about center of gravity, combined with the fact that Dumah is continuously on poor footing? In theory, toppling Dumah would be easy. Child's play, even.

Dumah entropy's the ground its feet touch. Hence it probably provides enough force from that to keep it level and surfaced, which also adds to its aforementioned poor traction. Heck, realistically it'd probably be able to provide MUCH more than that, but eh.

Well...
The average human body has a volume around 70 liters, which is a thousand cubic centimeters, which is sadly not a cubic meter. However, 70 L=0.07 m³.
According to this (http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/dirt-mud-densities-d_1727.html), a whole cubic meter of clay (wet or dry) weighs well under a single ton. 0.07 ,³ would be around 120 kilograms. Several tons would be around 7,000 kg, or nearly 60 times what she should weigh.
Conclusion: Either Neferis is a lot bigger than anyone else in the group, or she is not made of anything resembling normal clay. (And, indeed, much denser than any mundane substance. With "mundane" substances including things like "solid hydrogen".)
And while I'm thinking about it...the bottom of my feet, rather large ones, probably have a surface area around (estimating) 250 square centimeters, give or take maybe 20%? Assuming Neferis has feet around that size, she would be balancing several tons on 250 square centimeters, for a pressure of 14 kilograms per square centimeter, or...Google doesn't know how to change pressures, apparently.

Assuming of course they stop bothering ressembling human beings (since having consolidated distortions perfectly repiclate a human body requires so much power that it's practically impossible) and temporarily deconsolidate their bodies into high power tears in reality that destroy everything inside them short of souls.

...Let's call that "Plan F".

Metric tons are 1000 kilograms. That's what Australia uses, it's what Egypt uses, it's what I used.
And they're close enough to Imperial tons for rough calculations anyways.

Also, GWG, pressure is measured in pascals. Kilograms aren't a unit of force, so they don't fit there. You'd have to multiply it by the acceleration of gravity: 9.81 m/s/s.

You'd also have to multiply the bottom into square meters, which i believe you already understand how to do.

Also, a couple of metric tons: ie, 2-3. So 'only' 2,000 to 3,000 kg.

Title: Lore and The Economics of Non-Sentient Entities
Post by: Empiricist on February 05, 2014, 03:52:50 am

Spoiler: Cyrielle Taylor - Fate (click to show/hide)

Fate is the tendency for the universe to undergo a false-vacuum metastability event. Fate itself is essentially the universe post-decay. It can't even exist within itself, it's a massive paradox. Within it, everything is non-existent (including this concept). Fate isn't entirely sentient either though it does select people to act as its contractors.

There is, generally, at most, one Fate contractor at a time. They gain the Nom de Guerre of Andromalius and inherit the rank of Count of Hell and the 36 legions associated with it. They have no obligations to Hell though. This is in return for services rendered, presumably in the form of anti-angel equipment.

Fate contractors aren't obligated to do anything, indeed, many lived out the rest of their lives without any involvement in the supernatural world. Whilst Fate prefers the removal of variables (life), the end of the universe is inevitable from its point of view and thus isn't very proactive about it.

Contractors are selected according to a list of criteria and become capable of calling upon its power, in return, simply by remaining alive, the Contractors allow Fate to drag everything to absolute destruction. Of course, this destruction is only from Fate's point of view, from other points of view (in which it will never succeed), it is basically being an incredibly ineffectual omnicidal entity that gains absolutely nothing from its Contractors.

Contractors use theurgy rather than true magic, they allow a false vacuum metastability event to form and issue orders to it. These events are usually rapidly repaired by the realm in which they have been rended in. They tend to ignore many barriers and whatnot because they aren't so much actual objects as much as they are rips in reality.

They can vary in size and intensity, the larger ones are just larger holes, the more intense ones are ones that have a stronger connection to Fate. The intenser they are, the more the universe breaks inside them, constants and laws distort or vanish entirely. It can never reach maximum intensity however.

A consolidated distortion is one in which the boundary between the metastability event and the rest of reality is solidified. It usually protects the former from the latter. They cannot be broken through physical means, but some types of magic can and siphoning away the power in the boundary, dissolving it. Reality then rushes in and closes it.

When intensity is high enough, the realm can no longer repair it without the Contractor removing it. In that state, a boundary of a consolidated distortion instead protects the realm rather than the distortion. If the boundary is siphoned or tampered with, additional distortions (with intensity below this threshold) tear in the surrounding reality instead. That is why entropy magic enhances the gauntlet's attacks.

Applying enough force allows the bubble to temporarily split, that is how dislocation occurs, but it will snap back. That is why they are unbreakable but useless as armor.

Applying enough power covers the entire distortion with the boundary, not just its exterior, this allows them to act more fluid and me empowered to slice as with Cyrielle's longcoat.

Annie and Wheatley's (along with the replaced parts of Cyrielle's) bodies are incredibly intense as they can be consolidated in a form that resembles a proper human body as it isn't a single event bubble but a massive collective of them interacting with each other to simulate a body (or bodypart). If any of them deconsolidated those, they would have far greater power (but in Cyrielle's case, she'd die immediately as well so it's rather useless).

Annie and Wheatley are basically tendencies for Fate's influence to act in a specific manner. They have no souls as they have no real need for them. Furthermore they technically do not exist either, but as they have properties, they can't actually enter Fate either. They are summoned into a vessel by the main loop of their associated programs (note: main loops of programs generally just call the subprograms required, so their summoning codes aren't actually that long). Even if their vessels are all destroyed, they still 'survive' as they are nonexistent to begin with. They have far greater power than any Contractor. If their bodies were to deconsolidate they would exist as super-high intensity distortions.

Distortions are forced to shrink in size and increase in intensity when they hit a density increase, when they then face a density decrease, they catastrophically expand and leak out of their shape, that is why beams act as they do.

Cyrielle's alternate form occurs when some parts of her brain (which were replaced) get influenced by Fate and her body channels more of it. In this form, she loses her sight, as it is replaced with the ability to sense gauge bosons (sort of like sight but involving the other fundamental forces).

Spoiler: Alfred Haze - Wall Street (click to show/hide)

Within the realm of Wall Street, everything obeys economics (and to a lesser degree, business in general). One of the most famous, fundamental papers on physics written by a denizen of that world which, when translated, is entitled On the Economics of Non-Sentient Entities describes the economics that substitute physics in that realm.

They view all aspects of other realms in terms of this. The exchange of gauge bosons to mediate fundamental forces is seen to be akin to any other transaction. Love is also viewed as an exchange of many commodities.

The entities within it occasionally grant some of their powers to humans, designated as Traders, for various reasons, whether to spread the beauty of economics, out of curiosity, to create amusement or due to liking them, what the Trader does is entirely up to them.

Wall Street contracts can bind any sentient entity regardless of their realm as long as it is an economic agreement that both agreed to under legally acceptable circumstances.

Spoiler: Silica Tykki - Phoenix Essence (click to show/hide)

Phoenix essence is a trait some people are given. Activation kills the user and allows their soul to remotely control a phoenix spirit which can generate intense heat and pressure to generate a magical diamond-like substance that they may create a usable body from. Nothing in the afterlife aside from the creator may use this body. However, the immortal birds from which this power was derived from did not undergo natural selection due to their immortality, hence, these bodies tend to be rather flimsy though thankfully replaceable. Also, the issues associated with existing in the afterlife but controlling a body in the mortal world are a detriment to reflexes, furthermore, antimagic can sever the connection to these bodies.

I personally don't see much character building here actually, they aren't developing much from any of the plots I've seen so far, regardless of whether they succeeded or failed.

I think that's largely because she hasn't participated in any, aside from snarking. I hope to resolve this issue by--shocker--having a plot take place in a place that isn't Australia!

Quote from: Empiricist on February 05, 2014, 01:14:55 am

Not really. It's adding fluff but you don't see her develop. Adding abilities or backstory or angst has no effect unless the character actually shows some changes.

Backstory can develop the character, or at least explain it, which is also quite interesting.
I agree with you in the abilities/angst department.

Quote from: Empiricist on February 05, 2014, 01:20:33 am

Personally, I don't see why we need such severe plots to catalyze character development. Not everyone is so important that they need an entire plot dedicated to them, furthermore, I'd rather confirm character development when it happens rather than being told that it is planned.

Indeed.
Personally, I see character development and such as a nice side effect of plot.

The fact that most of them hardly ever appear (Maria, Anima, Angel, Nuriel and that's main cast) It's not really that surprising.

yeah, that's a kinda lore that people can and should explore in-game. afterall, they've been hiding in isolation for long enough that not much is left than a few pieces of folklore here and there that mention tiny people. Most cultures have such stories. Nobody besides them really know much about fingerlings. If anyone actually cares, they can just confront Hainuwele about it.

I may or may not expand the lore regarding the origin and purpose of a certain thing I mentioned in a plot-outline, but that is spoiler-heavy for the OOC thread until that plot is done with. I've had some lore discussion with Ragnarok, as he said he's in charge of lore regarding the void/generaly stuff from outside of creation. He approved of certain stuff, so I guess once my plot rolls around, it will bring a good chunk of lore alongside it, which may or may not become the groundwork for many of my plots in the future

do you want/need that stuff Elf?

I'm considering taking out the revive timer, taking into account the fact that I have NOTHING on their lore. I'll let it slide, for now.

Also I find it hilarious that Kyle's reaction to having his arm ripped off is to take the gauntlet off the shredded arm, stick it on the other one, and punch dumah AGAIN.

It's Kyle. What would you expect?

By the way, and I find this important.


I vote clearly against one thing: Asariel should not be able to immediatly act after breaking out of the painting. I mean, the paintification DID work. But having to free herself didn't even slow her down one bit, not even losing a single action, which in short, makes the painting stuff do *nothing*.




Freeing yourself being instant and then immediatly blasting out a battle-deciding spell is not fair in any way shape or form.


For comparison, just *teleporting yourself* takes 2 rounds.


She was hit by a spell by Grand, it trapped her, but nope, it didn't even change a single thing. In the round in which you free yourself, you should either lose your actions, or *at least* be occupied with freeing yourself until the end of the initiative queue, leaving yourself vulnerable.

No, because quite a few details are being debated:
-Ashley's 'death'
-Attacks on the painting
-The escape from the painting
-Kyle's backfire

---

I personally also agree that she SHOULD NOT be able to break out without penalty. Otherwise, she may as well have just rolled two resist rolls since there would be little mechanical difference.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Post by: ragnarok97071 on February 05, 2014, 05:10:38 pm

On the paint thing: free action failed. Took first action to break free, then used her second action (20 MND) to pop her Sigil. Jump would require a roll, yes, so Kyle faceplants, making his second action invalid, and he doesn't have enough mind to use the third, so no damage.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 05, 2014, 05:15:53 pm

this is why it matters wether or not at any point in the past I managed to debuff the dex, reducing the amount of action. in your retcon of round 4, you ignored me completely, in round 5 you had me activate the divine sands, which I said would only activate if she remained inside the painting. that kinda stuff matters.


also, since she is a dual form character Asariel/Selesandra I might wonder if *both* forms have over 40 dex, or if you might have missed something there. Dont forget Neferis can tear the painting apart either, the painting is vulnerable.


((lastly, I point at the strawpoll >:( ))

edit: also, WAIT. Free action failed, and then an action was used to break free? what, so she has 4 rolls per round to try and break out?

sorry, but your dexterity plays no roll whatsoever in trying to escape a painting. You get one attempt per round, and that is certainly not a free action. If her first break out attempt failed (where does the free action even come from?) she should remain in the painting for the rest of the round.

The free action is the normal action of a turn.
There are multiple actions you can make, and you get -10 DEX for each extra actions you make, I believe.

Post by: ragnarok97071 on February 05, 2014, 05:27:07 pm

She got a free, no penalty attempt to escape because she's a bloody SERAPH with power over curses, which the painting is. She used her free standard action to escape, and then her -10, both MIND actions, unaffected by DEX, to use her Sigil.

Tl;Dr, she's one of the gorram SERAPHIM, of course she's broke as fuck, even lessened as she is.

Also, no I am not. Mind is the trigger action for magic, so for magic actions it replaces DEX for multi-action penalties, though they stack.

excuse me, but stop adding bonuses to the character as they are convenient mid-battle.


the GM is not playing against the players. Equal opportunity goes both ways.


I mean what the hell, she gets all the candy to do all the OP shit, and meanwhile my actions in round 4 are ignored entirely, and in round 5 double misintepreted? (activating divine sands takes no roll, also, activating divine sands was not what I was going to do if she broke free). That's simply not okay. At every point and turn, you interpret any event on the battlefield in an advantageous way for the angels, while constantly making mistakes to your disadvantage.




Before any of this continues, we need a cohesive (and binding) ruleset on action amount, penalty per action, and most importantly, mechanics to how the paintification works, which will be up to Elf to decide (neither Ragnarocks "you get as many attempts as actions ((and then some))", nor the strawpoll are binding, but should be considered.


Else I will simply teleport the fuck out of there and wait for a plot coming from a GM who knows how GMing works

Less malice and more GMing on mornings and late nights with a full work day in between.

That, and the fact that the mechanics are vague and unsettled to begin with. Multi-action just seems absurd- it should get a damage penalty too, since you can't use your full strength repeatedly that often. At least I got him to limit the damn thing at all. :I

Oh no, I'm okay with the angels being OP, I just think that in the future, Rag should stop trying to GM on weekdays. :P

Post by: Akroma on February 05, 2014, 05:46:53 pm

so far every single action I did was ignored, sorry, but yes that makes me agitated, and when I am agitated I suddenly notice a lot more things that only further agitate me.


I mean, in this games rules are almost optional, if he wanted to just freeform the awesomeness of the broken fuck angels, sure, he can do it, but the moment he starts adding rules, he has to be consistent. And then you start noticing that the only one who benefited from the new rules, through the entire combat, has been the enemy.


I am not saying that Angels are not allowed to be super strong and so far above us that we can't really do a thing, but all within the limits of the rules. When rules start to be bended, and player actions entirely ignored (Why can't nef just tear the picture apart?), it's going to far. Even super awesome seraphim deserve a few chinks in their armor.
I mean, Duram is basicaly just standing there destroying our home and possibly half the town alongside it, while we just kinda buzz around it like flies not doing a thing, meanwhile Selesarna already killed one of us and has severly wounded several more, while not even taking damage in the tripple digits yet. There is no reason to deny us at least a few minor victories, while we helplessly watch what is basicaly a cutscene. Grand paintifying Selesarna was such a small victory, but instead of just letting the angel take the normal actions to break free (assuming 30-ish mind and 3 rolls vs 60, there is less than 100% chance of not breaking free), whoops, have a free action on top of it? why? Just so she can conveniently make all attempts at stopping Dumah fail, including an attack that Twi has been charging all battle? Without even a mind roll to resist? I have a feeling had we cast something like that, the angels would have surely had a resist roll.

Name:  Mallory Crynn
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(http://www.animedono.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Watamote-Tomoki2.jpg)

Two words that describe Crynn well are tired and annoyed. At any given time somebody looks at him, he most likely will be scowling at whatever seems to be going on in front of him, yawning, or rubbing his eyes. Under his dark eyes are always heavy bags from his lack of sleep and his pale skin implies he doesn't get out much.  His dark hair is grown out to a medium-long length, reaching a bit below his eyes at its lowest point. Around his neck is a pair of headphones that he uses from time to time to block out the world around him and occasionally to pump him up to use his powers.  He wears an untucked black button-up collared shirt, well-worn jeans, and simple tennis shoes.

Power: Emotion-based Entropy Shaper --- Crynn doesn't quite understand how his powers work currently. All he knows is that when he focuses a strong enough emotion into one singular point in space, he makes dark energy appear which he can then shape and move at will. So far the only emotion he has gotten consistent results with is anger so he uses that the most often but as a result the energy is rather unstable when used. The energy can be condensed to form a bladed object (sword) or a pseudo-barrier (it doesn't stop the attack so much as just consumes it before it has a chance to hit him.). When used unshaped, the energy has highly corrosive qualities and eats away at most substances with ease.

Background:  He prefers to keep it to himself. The most people generally get out of him is that he was put under foster care for awhile after a problem with his family but now he lives by himself.

Stats:
Str: 16
Mag: 12
Dex: 14
End: 26
Mnd: 7

Well, sleep time.


Should more turns come in, Instructions as follows:


- If at any time Hainuwele is not sure about how much time is left to the LAZOR, first action is to check


- If ETA = time needed to teleport away, teleport to the only one she knows is not close the blast radius, Will


- If ETA = enough, use all avaiable actions to debuff Selesandra, chosing from the following list, sorted by priority


- Debuff Dex, Debuff Mind, Seal Magic, Cause temporary blindness, Cause Chi leak (basicaly an infliction that causes damage over time, as if bleeding. a) because Hainuwele can't really cause heavy bleeding with a needle, and b) because such a wound is a bit harder to pluck than bloodloss, and more likely to go unnoticed)


- She will do so until the remaining Mana is enough only for a teleport to safety


- if Health < 70, teleport to safety


- if Fingerlings/Meme/Kyle/Nef = dead, berserker attack, attempt to poke Asariels glowing eye-sigil thing out (reminder, it's not a Sewing needle, but a massive 5-inch puppet needle, basicaly as long as a hand, rather thick and dangerous)

Well, Rag derped Nef's earlier action out of attacking Seles/Asariel cuz he thought the painting was safe. The 'Nef's target is not a thing' line.

Except it's actually REALLY vulnerable.

Nef could probably just crunch it up like a wad of paper, leaving Seles a shattered and gibbed mess.

((Also, Selesarna is definatly not safe in the painting. Emp is right. Cut the painting and target will return back to the 3-d world cut up and in pieces most likely dead. Grand is unable to do this, but a normal being should be able to. But it can only be done by someone of the same or opposing affinity of the painted individual. Also, I agree with Akroma, Hainuwele should have went before Grand clones. Also the one who trapped Selesarna faded as well since it cast the spell.))

Yo Rag, I noticed you forgot Shys'm Caes's action for this. :P

Spoiler: Turn 4 Redux (click to show/hide)

Round 4
Selesnarna hits Ashley for 32 damage. Ashley’s health is Critical.
Next attack made is against the first of the Grands trying to paint her. The Grand somehow manages to avoid the spear.
A third attack lands a glancing blow on the third Grand. 38 damage
Ashley responds by attempting to channel the power of the Void into her.  In her weakened state, she fumbles the attempt and gets countered for her trouble.
--
The black spear catches Ashley cleanly through the chest. The rest of the party have just enough time to see her eyes widen in shock before she vanishes in a burst of Void.
Ashley has been removed from combat.
--
Dumah continues to charge!


Luna charges at Selesnarna, attacking wildly! Selesnarna ducks out of the way of the blow, just barely managing a counterattack! (literally 1 away.) However, Luna manages to twist out of the way.
While not as impressive as the centrepiece of Bethany’s song, the first Refrain does its job well, and a storm gathers overhead, thick raindrops falling on the scene.
Lucas attempts to assult Dumah with MIND BULLETS, but they’re eaten away by sheer proximity to the massive amount of Entropic energy building up around it!
Kyle throws a mook at Selesnarna, but she ducks out of the way.
Marie’s DOOM BALL gets bigger.
Conny opens fire at Dumah, her arrow landing a glancing blow! 28 damage.
Nuriel opens fire on the melee! On the upside, the angels can’t dodge! On the downside, neither can Luna or Neferis. All are damaged by ~40 HP.
Selesnarna: 31 damage
Dumah: 41 damage
Luna: 42 damage
Neferis: 43 damage
The first Grand attempts to Paint Selesnarna… and fails again, fading out.
The second’s magic begins to take hold… And suceeds! A painting of Selesnarna falls to the ground where she was standing. Oddly enough, the eyepatch is glowing again… (each round, due to her afinity, Asariel makes a check to see whether she can escape. DC 60, just like the initial entrapment check.)
The other Grands charge.
The painted angels flail against the painting a bit.
Neferis can’t attack because her target is not a thing.

Oi!

--
Will notices something strange
Dumah doesn’t seem to be aiming at any of the combatants.
In fact, if anything, he’s aiming at the house itself.

That can’t be good.

She got a free, no penalty attempt to escape because she's a bloody SERAPH with power over curses, which the painting is. She used her free standard action to escape, and then her -10, both MIND actions, unaffected by DEX, to use her Sigil.

Tl;Dr, she's one of the gorram SERAPHIM, of course she's broke as fuck, even lessened as she is.

...
Firstly, if being trapped in a painting is a "curse," is being set on fire a curse? How about having your chi screwed with? Or a paper cut inflicted by Yomiko, is that a curse? How about if the seraph was too sexy for her shirt, would she be able to shrug that off?

Holy fucking shit guys, it doesn't fucking matter. Most of us don't actually give a shit and are taking it like men. Chill the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

It bugs me that rag's putting us up against these two OP bosses, screwing up the actions (either by omission or misinterpretation), screwing with the combat system (which incidentally ruins balance and also incidentally greatly benefits the enemy), and adding new unstated and even unhintedat abilities which happen to make the players' actions all but useless.
Then he refuses to change when asked. He even leaves out some of the skipped actions from his "redux"! I'd rather have Pete (http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0336.html) as a GM. He at least leaves a way out.

Blame not on malice what can be blamed on rushing, lack of sleep and bold ideas.

Of course, if he only GMs on weekends, combat would be unbearably slow. I mean, it's pretty effing slow right now. Incidentally, I apologize for all the times I complained about combat and such being over in a few hours when I'm out--that's much better than a single fight taking half a month. Hell, I kinda want another Not!Selina incident, just so something interesting happens.

Quote from: mcclay on February 05, 2014, 05:50:09 pm

I dunno, the angel seem perfectly beatable to me. The party's just been rolling like ass.

The enemies have unknown but presumably absurd HP totals, abilities which, how to put this, fornicate logic and balance up the colon, and also have attacks of absurd power. In addition, the rules bent in their favor (how many people have enough Dexterity to profit from the extra-actions rule? None, I'm thinking), and new abilities seem to be added when convenient (control over curses, which seems like a GM saving throw more than anything). I'd be surprised if good rolls changed much.

They aren't, Grandiose kept his elemental affinity to the element used against him. Hence why a non-elemental distortion attack perforated him. Also, "Cyrielle had to use distortions" isn't a very good measurement of power, it was mainly due to the consistent density of the portrait, likewise, a distortion would only cause a small hole to a piece of cardboard so if you go by that logic, cardboard would be very durable; distortions are incredibly powerful against entities with organs (or vital components) that trigger detonation but negligible against everything else.

On a good roll, the gauntlet could easily cripple or possibly kill a Sepherim depending on the level of entropy magic. Not even a critical roll on all stats for it would deal much damage to cardboard though. So as far as distortions are concerned: Speherim < Cardboard.

First of all, Neferis. As USEC said, she's more defending her friends than actively tryi ng to kill Asariel, so only metaknowledge would prompt that action. Had he been available ((or if this was a live game)) I would have just asked him, so I couldn't. I'll edit it to his stated action change tomorrow. Twi, I was referring to you not stating Hai's alt action in your summary. As for whether it worked, since I forgot, I'll just GM fiat a yes. -10 DEX. As for whether being trapped in a painting is a curse, I'd say yes, it counts as a curse, as it's a magically sourced debuff. Fire would not, it's fire. Chi disruption wouldn't, it's physical in nature.

Also, as lomg as reason is followed, noone will die.

Wouldn't it be binding magic rather than curse magic? It doesn't really debuff anything or inflict any status defects, it just imprisons them.

Or are those two pretty much the same thing with different names because people who bind stuff don't like saying "curse"?

Elf has it right. also, the portrait is indestructible unless attacked by a person with the same or opposite affinity as the subject of the portrait. It has to be a intelligent decision to hurt or undo the portrait. that means that if nuriel fireballs the area, Selesnarna would be fine unless Nuriel also decided that the fireball would burn the portrait.

Also, IIRC, we have also established that the shield only prevents MAGIC. that is, the actual manipulation of energies. Ergo, Slendy's passive generation of electromagnetic interference was able to take effect, but it did not have any anomalous effects.

Once the attack is fired, it is no longer magic, it isn't magical in itself, only the generation and containment of it is magical. If anything, the shield actually wouldn't affect it at all, though the magic that contains it and stops it from affecting the air would be cancelled, causing a localized reaction not unlike that that Dumah uses to propel itself through the air, but on a MUCH more massive, uncontrolled scale. This effect is essentially E=MC^2 at work, directly transferring all matter reacted with into its most non-stable form, i.e. energy, instantaniously.

So basically, if the shield would interact with the attack at all it wouldn't stop it, it'd just turn it into an australia-busting relativity bomb.

Which would be decidedly fatal to... pretty much everyone.

The way it's supposed to function uses Dumah's own magic to deliberately stop it short of causing that relatavistic chain reaction, only decomposing it into its component atoms and rendering it inert.

yyyyeah.

Also, yeah I'd say that Dumah's Matter Annihilation cannon is about on par with not only a Megadoleon, but an Elizabeth Megadoleon.

You know, the one that does more damage than it's possible for you to have.

There's a reason it takes five turns to prepare even with Dumah's fifty magic and a functional eternity of experience.

Additionally, in response to the painting not being a curse, her ability of curse manipulation runs on the following definition of 'Curse'

"Any purely magical effect or malady which causes either a reduction of functioning of the body, mind, or spirit, or which maliciously binds a being against their will."

For example, she designed the method which was used at the end of the Rebellion to cast out and depower the Fallen Angels, as this falls within her purview.

I mean, I can still work all this, and make it function with my plot, but it'd be easier to do it if I could actually run it the way I intended.

I have tried to compromise recently once I realized I'd made some mistakes with running this, but there are some things that will be very helpful for this to run smoothly. Asariel being trapped in the painting can be dealt with, though in all honesty I object fiercely to a freaking boss-tier character being able to assist in main plots. If I'd had a choice in the matter, I would have banned Grand from even being part of this for that exact reason. Same with Thera and Spooky and maybe even Marie (Twi, do you have a single character that ISN'T boss-ti... oh right Bismuth/Stella, your actual mains.)

Unfortunatly, I didn't, because I figured that would be seen as mean-spirited and rude.

I should have just dealt with it then, because having such characters helping has made telling the story I wanted to tell near-impossible.

I'm considering scrapping the whole plot at this point, despite the fact that it would have been a great way to provide Shys'm Caes with some much-needed personality and character depth, as well as to explore what exactly Yuri's family actually does, AND expand on the lore of Heaven which hasn't so much as been touched other than how they deal with collecting souls (which I would like to request that people still not touch, but of course because this isn't my game I have absolutely no say in). Mostly because I've realized that it would be much too easy for the party to just walk in and wreck absolutely everything with the biggest hammer imaginable than to actually go through the plot.

If I do decide to scrap it, I'll write up an infodump here so that at least the lore I wrote up won't go to waste.

Though I may as well do this part, since it's not too spoilerific:

Spoiler: Angels (click to show/hide)

there are several different classes of beings described as 'angels', as the term is actually a blanket term for any being created directly by the Creator to serve as stewards of Creation. Their analogues within Void are Avatars. Broadly speaking, there are three different varieties of Angel:

Servitors manage the day-to-day and administrative works of Heaven. There are many of this type of angel, and though they rarely take form outside of Heaven itself, each of them is immensely powerful, direct control over some aspect of Creation. The most powerful handle the Laws and Natures of Creation, and are responsible for making these things function at all. Servitors can be considered the mechanics that keep the universe itself running, gravity pointing down, electromagnetism working, etc.

Guardians, such as Dumah, are the combat class of Angels, and are responsible for dealing with incursions into Creation by beings from the Void. The Guardian Corps has been especially busy in the last few thousand years since the Creator herself disappeared, and are beginning to lose traction from a simple war of attrition. This eventually culminated in the Rebellion War (Yes, THAT Rebellion War) wherin a cadre of Guardians attempted to seize the Seat of Heaven in order to attempt to take control of its power directly, instead of manipulating the eddies and currents that spread out from it as they had in the past. This group was eventually defeated by the loyal Guardians, and cast out of Heaven.

The third group of angels are the Seraphim. These beings are a special case among angels, as though most angels are selected for one of the two above fields of service, the Seraphim are a mixture of the two. Their power is immense within their Demesne, and they boast complete control of the forces they wield. These Angels are characterized by a slight difference in the marks they bear compared to those of normal angels. An Angel's Sigil is usually a ring of some sort, golden, designed to reflect from what they draw their power, be it flame, or gravity, or Entropy. A Seraph's Sigil instead is formed of a golden circle bordered by six 'wings'. A Seraph is usually depicted with three pairs of wings as well, though these are rarely visible unless the Seraph is actively channeling their power, and are rarely actually seen except on a cosmic scale, as they are so large that they can envelop entire planets.

Once the attack is fired, it is no longer magic, it isn't magical in itself, only the generation and containment of it is magical. If anything, the shield actually wouldn't affect it at all

By that logic, most forms of magic would not be affected by the field. Hell, the bomber from my event would be able to nuke the entire house in a single turn by that logic. At least quite a fair bit of the cast has magic that wouldn't be affected.

For example:
Kyle's air persona/magic wouldn't be affected due to everything else carried out by the imparted kinetic energy.
Nuriel's fire wouldn't be affected due to the heat and reaction already occurring.
Sen's spells would already generate enough heat/electrical difference/whatever.
Marie's nuclear reactions would produce heat, electromagnetic radiation and a shockwave that aren't magically sustained.
Gintama's magic wouldn't be affected as the electric difference isn't necessarily produced within the field.
Catherine's ice shots would continue on due to their momentum.
Tobias's shadows could circumvent it by flinging objects.
Grandiose could circumvent it by creating some sort of ranged weapon.
Ra could burn it with photons from the Sun.
Tabella and Selina's constructs could use magic effects to similar ends.
Stella's dragonfire would still be hot and the chemical reactions would still be there.
All Creation magic would still be able to be fired through as long as the matter creation takes place outside the field.

A blast of matter-manipulating power very much is magic. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to sustain itself. Because there generally isn't anything that spontaneously turns all mass into energy short of a blast of antimatter which I'm pretty sure is not an aspect of entropy. Also, it doesn't disable containment mechanisms, otherwise the moment Cyrielle used her magic in the house, it would be consumed by a false vacuum metastability event expanding at c fraction speeds as Creation's attempts to block it would fail.

Post by: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 05:30:05 am

no point in scrapping it, though I do wonder why none of the angels bothered blasting whomever sealed Shis'm Caes to smitherens. I mean, Shis'm being sealed is a huge risk for creation, should something come along that would require Shis'm intervention (which is also good, because it makes many plots possible in the first place (at least the ones I have in planning).




so please do go on, Angels wrecking shit *is* okay (as long as the rules dont change mid-fight to suit them :P ). By now, I think everybody hates the angels so much, if you scrap the plot now, we will never have a chance of revenge. Next time, we will have prepared for them, and *maybe* will manage to get some coordination going, and then we will tear those fuckers limb for limb.


so just bring the fight to a conclusion, and the next time we face the angels, have the rules ready, visible for everyone, and binding. When someone calls out an attack with mechanics that have not been fitted to the combat rules yet, just ask the player over PM *before resolving the action* and discuss how what works.


Then simply take your time with the turn post (and don't forget so many things :( ), and it'll be much smoother. I think the main problem is that there is just *so* much going on at once, it's hard to keep track off.


I was very angry yesterday because you seemed to insist on making Hainuwele entire useless almost on purpose, so I might have been more strict with you than I should have been, I apologize.


just make up for it by at least giving us a chance for revenge.

I understand that the lore dictates that it should work, but if it did, the characters would have been informed about it already by the party members well versed in such matters, otherwise, suddenly revealing lore that characters who should have logically known about would amount to a reverse Deus ex Machina. Furthermore, Alexander isn't even using this universe's anti-magic so that lore may not even apply to him.

As for the "it's still a curse" thing, that is something you have to argue to @Elf; as always, though you have written the majority of the lore, the GM's decisions are absolute and none are above their rulings.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 05:34:35 am

I dare say Shis'm can give us pretty much the entirety of the relevant lore once combat is over, alongside maybe a few pointers on how do deal with the angels (given that shis'm actually wants them dealt with?)


if anyone can tell us how to deal with those fuckers, it's shis'm, else maybe Sen, Nuriel or some other demon may provide us with information on proper counter-measures against angels. this time we lost, but next time we will be prepared, blah blah, limb from limb


I for one will certainly put some research into getting some sort of enchant on my needle so that I can properly fuck with angels just like I can fuck with humans. Wasn't an enchant that neutralises resistances already mentioned, before the mention of weaponized ebola injections overshadowed it?

@Ragnarok, you really need to discuss these matters with @Elf. At the end of the day, the GM has absolute control and currently your proclamations are in direct violation of GM rulings. I'd rather some greater transparency in these discussions seeing as the specifics of antimagic and magic type definitions have no need to be confidential.

Grandiose is not a Boss-tier character. He was made to fight Selina and a few others. I made his abilities as such because I planned on using him in a few plots after his introduction when my turn for plots came up. Granted those will still have to wait due to me having a different plot I'm running when its my turn currently to introduce my next to last two characters.

Also, if your going to put us in a losing fight. Tell us that in OOC first so that we can put up a good fight and still lose. That is just common courtesy and good DMing. Also, inform us of the needed characters before hand. Communications is import especially since some of us don't get on Skype that often or not at all.

It is vaguely familiar and I have a feeling that Kyle will flirt with it.

Also I think that it would be nice if we had some forewarning of the impossible boss fight. Especially since it happened out of no where and that the angels have an unjustified reason to do so since they probably have rather high mind stats. I'm still going to fight them to the removal from the fight and then bring in Keith but still.

ICARUS (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130073.msg5036956#msg5036956)  (Independant Combat And Research Utility System)
Soundtrack for the character during combat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vfkzMAWWKE&list=PL1tFM4hAoC6VGoSUQBWXdykwzjT96cYeb)


The most recent achievement in the struggle of ordinary humans to keep up with supernatural threats has brought forth what may be the pinacle of robotics for the next decade. Financed by a multinational foundation and developed and produced in a cooperative effort by IRIS and DARPA, 7 Prototypes (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5031419#msg5031419) are currently undergoing field-testing worldwide. One of these prototypes, ICARUS-5, was entrusted to the group that put an end to the Layar crisis, believing that cooperation between ICARUS and that group would not only ensure a varied testing against mostly uncalculated for threats, as well as professional judgement on ICARUS strengths and weaknesses by a group of professionals (lol) at fighting the supernatural.

Level: 3
Stats (86)
Exp:215

Str: 15
End: 20
Dex: 25
Mag: 10
Mind: 16


Structural Integrity (Same as Health): 390
Battery Charge (Same as Mana): 330


Perk: Brisk +5 to dodge rolls


Functions:


To combat supernatural threats, ICARUS comes equipped with a wide variety of tools. These tools are energized by a miniature fusion reactor and an efficent battery. Standard actions don't take away a significant charge, more advanced tools however deplete the battery, which will need to recharge over time (that is to say, works pretty much like normal mana)


- Adaptive AI: ICARUS is able to learn from experience (that is to say, able to level up the same way biologics do when exp is handed out)
- Wide Field Sensors: ICARUS is able to perceive most of the electromagnetic spectrum, including PKE sensors (that is to say, can sense intensity of magic, however not nature or use). Further functions, like X-Ray vision, on the spot chemical analysis and similar things deplete the battery.
- A wide variety of CQC techniques and a martial arts database. Standard combat manouvers do not deplete the battery. Kinetic overdrive can momentarily increase the movement speed at the cost of depleting the battery.  (That is to say, she can punch things, and spend Mana to increase her Dex if needed)
- An integrated high-frequency-blade (http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/High-frequency_blade). When activated, increases damage potential of close combat attacks, but drains battery rapidly depending on the material that is meant to be cut. (Can use Mana to increase damage of attacks. Cutting through flesh is cost efficent, cutting through a tank will drain the battery very quickly, game-mechanic wise, increases strength for the damage roll.)
- An integrated particle stream cannon. Fires a stream of particles accelerated to roughly 1% of light speed at the enemy, damage is proportional to the amount of battery depletion (that is to say, an attack that is based on the mag stat. Simple as that, use minimal mana, do minimal damage, use lots of mana, do loads of damage)
- An integrated high-torque cyclonic barrier generator (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex/Ships_and_Vehicles#Normandy_Shield_Upgrade:_Cyclonic _Barrier_Technology_(CBT)). Using the battery charge, creates a rapidly rotating energy shield, changing the trajectory of physical, and even some magical attacks (in short, use Mana to add a bonus evading most physical and some magical attacks, akin to a mind and/or dex boost)
- Integrated jet-boots and flight-assisting-head-mounted-gliding-apparatus (those weird hair-things), for flight capacity at the cost of battery charge, depending on speed and duration of flight.

If the characters abilities would have to be summed up in a single, defining superpower: Self-Buffing. Spends Mana to, for a short time, Boost Dex, Strength, Mag or Mind, within the limits of the functions described above (so, for example, str can not be boosted to lift heavy objects). Versatile, but also very mana-intensive.


Additional strengths: Remains fully operational up to 500 meters under water, as well as in the vacuum of space. Functions normaly at temperatures between -40°C and 300°C.


Weakness: ICARUS is very susceptible to electricty or magnetism based attacks. Passive health regeneration is not possible as with humans, structural integrity must be restored through manual repair. As long as hands were not damaged too much, can perform auto-repair, else is reliant on IRIS mechanics (comes with 3 year warranty)

Despite it seeming like an obvious feature, ICARUS does not have internet access, or the ability to connect to any other computer system other than the specificaly secured IRIS server. IRIS is not risking the thing becoming the next SkyNet. The AI is hardcoded to be unable to learn how to code, so even through manual access, ICARUS can just get some googling done at best.

Notes by lead designer: ICARUS lacks the ability to feel love or hope, key-points of any magical girl. To compensate, we went with a moe~ design. May humanity have mercy on me.

Post by: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 09:31:16 am

I was pulling a number out of my ass, lets assume it's just c*(faktor depending on mana used), or fixed speed* statistical particle density depending on manaq used, whatever it is, ICARUS may not disclose the details anyway, so it's in the end just:

1d20 +mag +(factor determined by elf*mana used above the minimal mana used to fire the canon) damage

minimal amount of mana used is probably 10 or something, as for most magic uses, the factor is up to elf, as well as a maximum amount of Mana that may be used in one shot.
I'd propose that the factor can be increased if the cannon is charged for a few turns

similarly the HF-Blade just deals 1d20+str damage if no mana is used to actually power the blade, and if mana is used, +(factor determined by elf*mana used)

that makes the HF-Blade much more efficent at attacking often in a row, while the particle cannon is less efficent at rapid fire, but is a) ranged and b) can be charged for higher efficency

Also, Shys'm Caes should have still gotten an action of SOME sort on turn four. If that action happened to be attacking Seles, that would have probably done the trick.

Also also also, I will be extremely disappointed if you didn't make any "ICARUS-5 is alive" jokes.

It's the Australian branch.

-snip-

By that logic, Nuriel should be able to set the house on fire (ignore for a sec that it lets her magic work) if she stands outside, because the fire she generates would have been generated outside the house. Really, it renders the shield worthless for most magical attacks. And Elf is the GM, he defines what a curse is.

By now, I think everybody hates the angels so much, if you scrap the plot now, we will never have a chance of revenge.

Frankly, I hate how much the universe is bending in their favor ("They get 4-5 actions per turn, FYI. Also, they get extra free actions sometimes, and they get free saves against all debuffs, and..." ...don't get me started on effed-up actions.) far, far more than I hate the angels themselves.

I'm with GWG on this one. They're powerful enough already without special silly rules. Dex needs to be nerfed in general already, anyways.

Really, Dumah seems totally reasonable. Asariel not so much- multi-action needs to be SEVERELY nerfed.

Honestly, though, if they're supposed to be way way compared to us, who saved the world, that's fine, but I have just one lore-related question: where the hell were they during the Layar invasion?!?

Not necessarily true anymore. Asariel's escape and ensuing curse is now null and void. Kyle and Marie's attacks would have been executed. As the beam was nearly ready to fire, the entropy magic, if it was in Dumah's body would have greatly empowered Kyle's attack.

no point in scrapping it, though I do wonder why none of the angels bothered blasting whomever sealed Shis'm Caes to smitherens. I mean, Shis'm being sealed is a huge risk for creation, should something come along that would require Shis'm intervention (which is also good, because it makes many plots possible in the first place (at least the ones I have in planning).




so please do go on, Angels wrecking shit *is* okay (as long as the rules dont change mid-fight to suit them :P ). By now, I think everybody hates the angels so much, if you scrap the plot now, we will never have a chance of revenge. Next time, we will have prepared for them, and *maybe* will manage to get some coordination going, and then we will tear those fuckers limb for limb.


so just bring the fight to a conclusion, and the next time we face the angels, have the rules ready, visible for everyone, and binding. When someone calls out an attack with mechanics that have not been fitted to the combat rules yet, just ask the player over PM *before resolving the action* and discuss how what works.


Then simply take your time with the turn post (and don't forget so many things :( ), and it'll be much smoother. I think the main problem is that there is just *so* much going on at once, it's hard to keep track off.


I was very angry yesterday because you seemed to insist on making Hainuwele entire useless almost on purpose, so I might have been more strict with you than I should have been, I apologize.

Trust me, at this point you really don't want Dumah to get killed.

All that Entropy has to go SOMEWHERE, after all. It's not just going to fizzle out.

And for Asariel, I am aware that it's not necessarily curse magic, but it still falls under her domain per the thing I mentioned earlier.

Also, Elf, previous events in the game would contradict your statement. from what I've seen, the spell works by suppressing magic, how would it even KNOW to suppress, say, a burst of fire that's not magical in nature, only conjured by magic?

how did the magically created hail not vanish into the ether before striking the house?

how did Slendy's EM affect things in the house?

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like you're just trying to screw me over.

I assume this is the relevant part for that statement you just made about Asariel's curse being null, Emp?

Yes, @Ragnarok argued the circumstances of her escape as being due to her having curse control. As the spell is now defined as binding magic and not curse magic, those circumstances are no longer possible, she would have likely gone last, lost her turn or failed outright. Hence, she would have been unable to use her curse, hence Marie and Kyle's attacks would have been used without the instant fail.

Trust me, at this point you really don't want Dumah to get killed.

All that Entropy has to go SOMEWHERE, after all. It's not just going to fizzle out.

Actually, it would probably all be used up empowering the Fate attack if it hits. That is, sabotaging Creation and causing the formation of a high intensity distortion.

Personally, I don't even know what the anti-magic field is doing. I suspect Elf has no idea either and is trying to pretend he knows what he's talking about.

The rest of that makes me very, very  ::)

Basically, @Elf is intending it as an anti-supernatural effect barrier. @Ragnarok however has created most of the lore. Without telling @Elf the details.

Being inside a painting doesn't directly change your existence, therefore it's not a curse. Arguably. I dunno.

start arguing, elf/rag. :P

I'd just chalk it up to angels are weird. They use different theories, but are mostly used for the same thing, debilitating something.

So basically you're changing it mid-combat to fit it into the favor of the Angels. Gotcha.

No.

I'm not.

Like I said, she would HAVE to have control over seals as well.

Because she made the shit that SEALED THE FUCKING FALLEN ANGELS' POWERS AWAY.

Actually so did you by having your hail not vanish into nothing before striking the house.

I'm just pointing out the shit that has happened that SHOULD have been stopped if it works as it did, but wasn't.

Slendy's EM affected things because people decided to forget that there was a magical shield, I wasn't online and so nobody bothered asking me. By the time I was, nobody bothered informing me of slendy. (Elf much disappoint by this by the way :( )

The hail wasn't magical in itself; and it never hit the house.

The field works by directly suppressing it, yes. However, that isn't the thing stopping it; Abraxas' upgrade, which is supposed to handle Void and Twilight is. And THAT works by stopping things dead; however in theory if Dumah where to blast the house directly with an explicitly magical blast, THAT would damage it. It isn't, hence why the house would withstand it.

For the purposes of game mechanics, any immobilising or otherwise movement-impairing attack counts as a bind, unless otherwise stated by fluff or it's creator.

I'm not saying the rules need to change, I'm clarifying her ability. As I have been trying to for the last few posts.

if she doesn't have that sphere of control as I defined it, she doesn't work as a character.

Post by: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 12:50:47 pm

huh?


health and MP are entirely without correlation to the stats in question. Bad Rag. Don't do the Kyle way of health maths.


Anyway, the battle is about to end, and everyone will have plenty of reason to seek revenge. We will prepare, and then we will grind these fuckers like corn.


I would propose attacking them once they finished whatever they are doing (unless that involves earth being destroyed), seeing as they will seperate. Asariel is a fallen angel, she will stay on earth and Dumah did not seem to give much of a fuck about her. Once she is alone, she is toast.


Dumah, well, in heaven likely unreachable, unless Shis'm Caes gives us the authority to carry out his judgement. Dumah has been attacking him, which is open rebellion, so unless the entirety of heaven is unable to recognise Caes, nobody will help Dumah.


on a side note, Dumah possessed a girl who was in a rubber cell. *why* does this girl in a rubber cell also have a statpool of 160? It's entirely within reason to assume that the fucking vessel is weaker than the seraphim. Constanza has no business being that ridiculous.


------------


leaving that aside, lets brainstorm for ways of a) making dex less OP, and b) making other stats more relevant.


a)


- multiple actions are allowed in the 20/40/60 bracket, but every action beyond the first, main action can only be an unmodified physical attack, or a positioning action, or something that makes sense in the vein off "moves very fast". Not only do these actions gain the -10/-20 etc penalty on dex, but also the same penalty on str for the damage.


- when faced by multiple assailants or by multiple attack, the first two dodges are unmodified, everything beyond that will gain a -10/-20 etc penalty. No endless dodging


- a critical attack (attacker roll 100+ more dex than the targets dodge), no longer deals double damage, nor does it stun the enemy, but it does give you one more additional attack, with the same modifiers as if it was a regular additional attack gained by having high dex. Meaning you you normaly have three actions, and Crit, your now gained 4th action will be at -30 dex and -30 str. For high Dex chars, this may result in a flurry of blows, but very shortly, the damage will be negliable. Such a combo automaticaly ends if an attack fails to do damage.


- a critical dodge (targets rolls 100 more dex than the target) gives you an additional chance to dodge another attack with +10 to the roll. example, Seles is attacked by 5 dudes. She could dodge the first 2 attacks without penalty, and then at -10/-20/-30. Lets say she crit-dodges the second attack, making the penalties 0/-20/-30 for the following dodges.


so much for dex. useful enough to encourage high dex, but not dominating


b)


suggestion for Str/End


on hit, attacker rolls Str, target rolls End. If the strength roll is won, damage is dealt normaly. If the endurance roll is won, damage is reduced by 1d20+end


on a Str-Crit, damage is doubled and there is a chance to stun


on a End-Crit, damage reduction is doubled, and the recoil will end any possible combo the enemy is laying on you.


a similar interaction should be appliable for magic that deals physical damage, mag vs mind


those are just general ideas, please brainstorm.

I am unfamiliar with the works of magic, so someone should try to find a way if high mag/mind would have any effects on allowing multiple power uses per turn, possibly making spells more mana efficent and/or reducing cast time

Entropic energy isn't magical itself, just weird as fuck and highly unnatural. The only thing magical is the generation and the bits keeping it from going nova.

Entropy doesn't do any of that stuff! It's the tendency for energy to be evenly distributed over time throughout interacting systems. It doesn't convert mass into energy, that would be antimatter.

And anyway, it was established (much earlier on) that the field rendered magic useless, and had a lesser effect on supernatural things otherwise (superpowers, Personae, the seal keeping Shys in); hence why Richard could barely summon his Persona, if at all.

Basically, it won't evaporate the house. Probably will take out a room or two, maybe the wall. Thank your lucky stars everyone inside is off somewhere.


And yeah what Emp said; entropy is simply the decay of things or something...which Abraxas' upgrade counters as part of it's upgrades, unless I'm not entirely clear on Void; wouldn't be the first time considering nobody tells me anything about the lore.

That's what it's doing.

In the most violent and destructive manner possible.

a BUNCH of that energy is all bundled up in matter.

So the matter has to go.

The energy is torn out of it, and violently dispersed until it's an even distribution.

usually this only goes so far as breaking apart the matter itself, not the subatomic particles that make it up, but if left unchecked it would.

To put it more simply, once it's actually used, it's a reality shaping effect, not a magical one.

Which are different.

... actually, that's pretty much everything angels do...

He's arguing that a supernatural attack should be fine as long as the end result is something that is not supernatural. Except what the result is doesn't do what it should. False vacuum metastability events are natural, combustion is natural, inertia is natural. Entropy moving like a substance whilst converting mass into other forms of energy is NOT natural.

I'll settle with the house being somewhat damaged but not destroyed; again, fair enough that the shield wasn't brought up initially, but it still falls under supernatural and not completely suppressed by the shield.

Free turns only happen if the enemy has been knocked down or otherwise rendered unable to move, and only on the turn they were stopped from moving. DEX based turn order, I might consider.

I refute that for the sake of balance. Normally I would not be so absolute, but this affects and unbalances some of my characters whose abilities distort reality. I simply cannot allow that argument lest my own characters become overpowered.

Cyrielle and Alice's magic would count as that, I am not going to let my characters suddenly gain the ability to ignore all defensive measures ON TOP of their already existing anti-armor capabilities.

lets not argue anymore about what *should* have been, really. all the retconning and not-retconning only delays the game.

Asariel may look OP, but once the rules have actually been balanced, it'll be much less overpowering.


Also, final-boss tier angels *should* be OP, to encourage players using their head, organising, making a strategy, instead of everyone just flailing at the enemy. She is perfectly possible to overcome by a combination of fixed rules and coordination




and also, I actually call bullshit on the whole *magical shield around the house so impenetrable, blah blah*. Our shield being impenetrable and (some) of our dudes auto-reviving is the same kinda bullshit that the angels keep throwing around and that we complain about. Why shouldn't we be vulnerable?

Correction; I said it wasn't. Magical effects are suppressed, not cancelled. Void and Twilight can't touch it. Those are the only effects cancelled outright.

Personae work in it, barely. Wall Street works fine. Superpowers do, and lastly, a good old wrecking ball would take it down. Hardly invulnerable; just hard to take down using magic.

Also, I wasn't even told void walkers could revive.

Really, I'm actually cheesed off right now. Don't expect me to post on RoTMG for a while, I have to calm down.

The magical shield is required as it ensure that we have to actually CARE about a plot for it to occur. That is, the plot will be unable to barge in and force participation.

75% sure this is a thing only you care about. I am pretty sure you are literally the only person in this RP who has ever simply said, "I don't care about this plot, leave me alone."

I have yet to say that :P I have stated I may say that, but I have yet to do so. The inverted personality universe doesn't count since that was partly an issue of backstory and lore.

You're the only one who's even threatened to say that :P

I prefer calling it a statement of intent rather than a threat, after all, none of my characters are what you'd call plot important. It wouldn't be much of a threat :P

soon we will have an awesome magical girl base in a castle in france. complete with literaly all the kind of extravagant awesomeness your characters could desire, rather than some suburban house that somehow houses an extreme amount of people, considering the amount of rooms it should have.




I vote +1 for the house getting destroyed, only so we can actually give the new base some focus. We could even draw a floorplan of it or something. Shit's gonna be cash.


if the house gets saved by miracle and/or bullshit, then only 2-3 characters will move, while everyone else simply wont care. It's wasting potential


also, massive character development opportunity. the group has never been so desisively defeated. the group as a whole has grown arrogant, thinking themselves undefeatable, being *bored* fighting stuff, and mostly just doing so to kill time. Losing their home and having to start anew, with an enemy insight that they can't just flail to death with brute force is maybe the best opportunity for a character arc there might have been since the game started.


and it will make victory over the angels feel all the more meaningful, a true achievement. it may only really feel *forced* right now because nobody is used to actually being at a disadvantage

Really, having it uninhabitable but intact still achieves the effect while giving people reason to even go to Australia; we have about five places;

California
Cambridge
London
Northsdale
France

Also, we HAVE been defeated before. Once by Amy Hart, another time by Ra via technicality; he got away with Anima. And we still had casualties in the teleporter incident.


Actually, to end this discussion, I'm vetoing the house being destroyed by Dumah, at this battle; she can try some other time, but not right now. I am permitting damage, but not destruction, that is it. Topic is not up for discussion; that is my final decision, regardless of any polls or complaints. Dumah's attack doesn't destroy it.


NOW I will take my long needed break.

note, what is wrong when occasionaly a fight is forced unto us?


a) fights don't need conscent


b) we have had enough of an impact on the supernatural world to have gained the attention of stuff that you normaly don't even know was ignoring you. Once the supernatural world starts to think of us as something you have to consider, we might be involved in stuff we never dreamed off. It's a positive sign, we are moving up

c) we can teleport anywhere at any time if we are not interested in a plot


--------


Rag, I am mad at you. You made a havily unbalanced ruleset and threw it unto us without any testing, nor do you seem willing to balance it, you ignored everything I did so far in this battle, and gave your guys free actions to be extra resistant to what we are doing, while giving us all a massive fuck-you, you all fail without even a resist roll.


you mad almost all mistakes you could have made.




BUT. I am a GMing veteran, and I am sure I made mistakes like that when I got started too, so I will stop moaning and a) give actual advice and b) try to see things positive, the plot is still salvagable. As I said, what *should* have happened is bygone, but I must urge you to *very* seriously consider what *should* happen from now on.


Learn from your mistakes. When so many players are against what you are doing as a GM, it's usualy not because they are all stupid. You wanted to make a difficult fight, and just kinda went a bit too far. Well, and you got lots of...lets call it feedback. try to filter the important part out of the rage, you may improve as a GM in the future

A) Yeah but if a player is busy due to events in their real life, the fight's going to take VERY long time.
B) Not all of them. Meme wouldn't have due to not using much magic, or Ashley who wasn't in the war, or Richard who kept his identity hidden, or Cyrielle who actively avoids all association with magic, or Keith who only recently awakened his powers, or Will who is new to this universe, etc.

Post by: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 01:58:04 pm

yeah, writters are problematic, because they often like their own characters too much.


sure, boss characters deserve to be cool, cooler than the PCs even, but not so cool that the PCs can only stand and watch and have no chance to do any cool stuff themselves.


a general advice, I avoid stuff like that with numbers.


if all you have going is a single super bad dude, you need to enormously boost that thing up so it can deal with 10+ PCs at once.


instead, make that one dude weaker, but give him a good handful of non-grunt henchmen, each of them strong enough to make a difference. varied abilities and combat styles on the grunts, different resistances, different weaknesses, so the players spend a bit of time on figuring out which enemies they can take on well, and which resist their stuff. when there is 6-7 enemies, it doesn't matter if one of them is entirely immune to one of the players abilities. A nasty suprise, but that doesnt render the char useless.


That way, the super big bad also doesn't need a metric ton of various actions, it's all neatly split up, giving the PCs enough opposition to threathen them without seeming overpowered.


once the fight gets really difficult, give the enemies a bit of knowledge about what to expect. nothing stops them from coordinating themselves, so 6-7 small actions suddenly turn into a combination of fuck-you that suddenly knocks the most dangerous PC out of commission, and in the end, encourages the PCs to do the same. Right now, everyone is just blasting stuff at their own leasure, a team only in name. Once they start synergizing, actual play begins.


right now, all the RP is just outside of combat, with character dynamics all over. Once combat starts, everyone is on their own. Why not have the various shipping pairs work out dual-tactics, combine their attacks, focus their efforts, protect eachothers back. suddenly a fight that is mostly number crunch can actually become a scene with character interaction

on a side note, Dumah possessed a girl who was in a rubber cell. *why* does this girl in a rubber cell also have a statpool of 160? It's entirely within reason to assume that the fucking vessel is weaker than the seraphim. Constanza has no business being that ridiculous.

Especially since Earth's finest have less than half that.

Quote

leaving that aside, lets brainstorm for ways of a) making dex less OP, and b) making other stats more relevant.

a)

- multiple actions are allowed in the 20/40/60 bracket, but every action beyond the first, main action can only be an unmodified physical attack, or a positioning action, or something that makes sense in the vein off "moves very fast". Not only do these actions gain the -10/-20 etc penalty on dex, but also the same penalty on str for the damage.

I'm for "One action per person per turn, no exceptions". What it was before ragnarok decided his angels were too weak.


- when faced by multiple assailants or by multiple attack, the first two dodges are unmodified, everything beyond that will gain a -10/-20 etc penalty. No endless dodging

- a critical dodge (targets rolls 100 more dex than the target) gives you an additional chance to dodge another attack with +10 to the roll. example, Seles is attacked by 5 dudes. She could dodge the first 2 attacks without penalty, and then at -10/-20/-30. Lets say she crit-dodges the second attack, making the penalties 0/-20/-30 for the following dodges.
[/quote]
These sound good. The critical attack thing, though, sounds pretty unlikeable. It's supposed to represent things like hitting a vital organ, not...what the hell is your suggestion representing, anyways?

Quote

b)

All of these sound pretty good.

Quote from: Empiricist on February 06, 2014, 12:59:05 pm

He's arguing that a supernatural attack should be fine as long as the end result is something that is not supernatural. Except what the result is doesn't do what it should. False vacuum metastability events are natural, combustion is natural, inertia is natural. Entropy moving like a substance whilst converting mass into other forms of energy is NOT natural.

On an unrelated note, I still call bullshit on letting un-nerfed BOSS-TIER CHARACTERS participate in plots :/

Look at Grandiose.
Look at your angels.
He's as much an ant to them as we all are.

Quote from: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 01:11:21 pm

Also, final-boss tier angels *should* be OP, to encourage players using their head, organising, making a strategy, instead of everyone just flailing at the enemy. She is perfectly possible to overcome by a combination of fixed rules and coordination

The problem is, they were so absurdly OP that the only strategy that works on them is "Run Away". Seriously. They can lolnope any kind of attack with conveniently perfect timing, get free saves against practically every debuff, and of course have no weak spots or elemental vulnerabilities or anything because fornicate you.
(Fornicate is a surprisingly fun word.)

Quote

and also, I actually call bullshit on the whole *magical shield around the house so impenetrable, blah blah*. Our shield being impenetrable and (some) of our dudes auto-reviving is the same kinda bullshit that the angels keep throwing around and that we complain about. Why shouldn't we be vulnerable?

Because, well, the magical shield was established beforehand and it takes the stupid kind of BS to explain why it DOESN'T work.

Quote from: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 01:20:47 pm

and it will make victory over the angels feel all the more meaningful, a true achievement. it may only really feel *forced* right now because nobody is used to actually being at a disadvantage

You want "forced"?
"Oh, look, the angels are actually powerful. Now that the house has been wrecked, I'll surrender meekly. Because that's just what I do. Because screw reason. Not that I'm sure why I protested in the first place."
Seriously, why did we even need to fight the angels?

Quote from: Empiricist on February 06, 2014, 01:49:29 pm

Hey it could've been worse at least :P The first time I GM'd, I created an entire setting and whatnot but along the way I forgot that I needed an actual plot rather than just the setting :P

That's happened to me. In fact, I'd say that's a big part of why The First Magic Girls is drowning; I figured out how magic works and all those lovely details, but never figured out what the players would actually be DOING.

Quote from: Akroma on February 06, 2014, 01:58:04 pm

right now, all the RP is just outside of combat, with character dynamics all over. Once combat starts, everyone is on their own. Why not have the various shipping pairs work out dual-tactics, combine their attacks, focus their efforts, protect eachothers back. suddenly a fight that is mostly number crunch can actually become a scene with character interaction

I think part of the reason is that there is very, very, very rarely ANY combat.
We went months without any kind of plot. Then we go through a period of plots spaced far apart with minimal combat each. Then we start going through rapid-fire plots, boom boom boom, and we don't have time to adjust.

...But aren't Ashley, Joanne and Cyrielle the only french speakers with bracelets? How would the others communicate?

Will picks up languages fairly well. It'll take some time before people stop snickering at his accent, but eh.
In fact, I think he's already learned some French from Joan. Or was that Italian?

Fluff on the bracelet server and whatnot.
Go.

It's a magical computing device, kind of like an artificial intelligence except not intelligent. It can be programmed. Entering the server works like entering someone's mind, because that's basically what it is.

It sounded a lot like they'd just be reuniting the bits of Shys'm Caes. You really need to make this stuff more clear.
Besides, simple solution:
"Yuri, tell me all you know about how Shys'm Caes was bound to you."
Because for an overgod, Shys'm Caes is a wimp. All of it was bound pretty easily; 2/??ths of it should be easier.

There are two fragments.

One of them has the lion's share of the mind and personality in it, and is Shys'm Caes.

The other is just pure power.

It's easier to completely wipe the former and just put it with the latter so the person already controlling it can go fight wars with them than to deal with killing the latter to get at her shard, because with that level of power she could WTFPWN both of them.

And as for asking Yuri, then someone should ASK HER.

Guys, not to interrupt, but Alkyon might end up fighting the BBEG on his/her own in Gaiden.
Y'all should probably look at that.

To be fair, there are more ways to win than sheer brawn.

Like what? Nothing's even been hinted at.

P.S. Their definition of "overgod" sucks almost as much as this whole plot has.

P.S.S. I can make a strawpoll. (http://strawpoll.me/1137617) Who wants to unmake this whole plot and go on with something less doomed to failure, like surviving in the cold vacuum of space?

If you can convince the angels that you're the team they should back (not too hard given how crazy her mum is), it's entirely possible they'll make the effort, and with enough backup they might even manage it.

of course, at that point they're out an Overgoddess since it's not like you can free her (though I guess you could at that point)

Unless there's some total BS plot device that lets us blow it up, we're doomed against the Threat, which presumably has no reason not to engage us bugs in combat if we pose a potential threat.

Cyrielle's magic would be, seeing as it ignores their entropy stuff and any ballistic resistance they may have. Ashley and Abraxas' void magic as well, but they also take more damage from Creation magic so it's two-way.

You could have gone with GLaDOS.

This reminds me, Kj, can you PM me stuff about IRIS or something like that? Would be useful for my plot.

Assuming that I don't change it at the last minute, of course.

as I said, I only went to this acronym generator site, and entered a metric fuckton of synonimous stuff, and looked through various Acronyms that the programm spat out, then went with the only one that caught my eye, ICARUS, which was originaly made from Indpendant Combat and wARfare Unit

Spoiler: IRIS (click to show/hide)

A company very similar to the SCP foundation owned and run by Uncle Johnson. The main base is in Florida near the coast possessing a hold on the politics of the state favoring to stay in the shadows and influence laws to encourage acceptance of magical influence. They also house magical creature preforming noninvasive studies on them if willing. Magic creatures who are actively and purposely harmful aren't treated nearly so well. Employs Void, Einstien, a various other people who wish to further the goals of IRIS or just stay away from normal people for a while. Devon will soon be taking over.

What would this thing have been like in the 19th century or earlier, since "renewable energy" wasn't a thing? (0/0 is bad.)
Or heck, before there was solar energy. I calculate that it would be shining with the light of zero suns between the invention of the concept of renewable energy and the invention of solar power.

Over the course of the next half hour or so, Yuri describes her treatment at the hand of her family, how she was mistreated, shunned, and generally abused, and the history of many things she'd witnessed as part of the family. By the end of it, her mother is absolutely FURIOUS.

Because of course Yuri is the solution to this problem. Since angels who don't seem to give a damn about a vague overview of her abuse plus a detailed analysis of many of her other crimes will OF COURSE be moved by a more in-depth analysis of the abuse.

Yup. Well, I for one am glad it's over. Maybe characters of someone other than rag will get a chance to do things.

Oh, and that reminds me...Hey, ragnarok, what was that you said about Shys'm Caes getting developed/backgrounded? Or was the only background you intended to give "She got bound after seeing a few hundred virgins killed by the people who bound her"?

this group of *heroes* really has some fucked up morality


I mean, even it it's a huge stretch that Jack the Ripper can be forgiven 100 years of serial murder because she switched to killing criminals now and needs to do that for survival




this fallen angel (same category as the devil himself), has a killcount thats is likely 100 to 1000 times higher than jack the ripper, and does so purely for the enjoyment, indiscriminately, without needing to do it for survival or anything.




and Hainuwele is the only one who thinks that *this* is the kind of stuff we should protect humanity from? I am sure the Layar killed not even a fraction of what she killed, and even had resources to gain, instead of sheer enjoyment of killing.


why is Luna, the crazy psychopath, the only one who agrees that this angel deserves to be put down?

@Rag: except Asariel *did kill Ashley*. She's not simply *not with us*, she is very clearly against us.

When someone keeps begging their superior to please please let her kill those juicy mortals, I dare say she was hardly neutral, or diplomatic, or anything. Killing us didn't even serve a purpose, as it was Caes they were after. it was sheer murder to kill some boredom

she was not some helpless puppet that was simply possessed and used against her will, she never once hesitated or believed what she was doing was wrong - and is not even doubting it now. she freely admits that it was all great fun, without a care in the world, or even a hint of a faked apology

A bit of an outdated model of thinking, there. Intimidation gets people to work with you as long as you are in a position of power and no longer. It gets them to do what you threaten to harm them if left undone and nothing more.

I'm a bit fuzzy on the line between angel and host, to be frank. One of the great many confusions of that plot.
And frankly, I wouldn't be against evicting the host just to clear away all traces of the plot.

also, why would we retcon any of what happened? it did lead to character development, it's leading into a somewhat fresh start (castle that is outfitted to cater to all our needs and whims, from swimming pool, to large server room, to one of these x-com style global holograms in a situation room, and even heavy magical/technological artillery to defend our place > suburban house with not nearly enough bathrooms for all of us to get ready in the morning in time)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 07, 2014, 11:35:28 am

as a whole, retcons are a weak solution. It's always better to just make the best of the situation as it is, without raging too much about the meta


angels swiped the floor with us, we are now homeless


that's not too bad. It was forced unto us, sure, but it's an opportunity. As in real life, characters can't always chose the direction of their life, what matters is with how the deal with stuff they didn't think would happen.




also, the system didn't really work well in the past
the damage output is too low, and the endurance roll allowed you to *entirely* ignore the damage as long as you passed the roll.


like this, combat takes too long. it was either reducing health, or increasing damage, else fights that are actually played out to the bitter end would take months

go back through the thread a bit, I had a long post about fixes to dex, and utilization for str and end somewhere backthere, which went mostly ignored because of Twi throwing up all over rag

Hmm...

Most of the DEX parts looks pretty good. I'll probably just make a critical dodge reset your dodging penalties though. A critical hit will also just do maximum damage and always, just to simplify things a bit. Multiple actions might be dropped off the table too. Also, a critical will be defined as rolling a 96 or higher, for obvious reasons.

The second part about STR/END I'm not too sure about. Mostly because people's weapons don't actually have stats or anything.

I might think of an alternative system or something based on these stats. Give me a while.

Quote from: Akroma on February 07, 2014, 11:35:28 am

also, the system didn't really work well in the past
the damage output is too low, and the endurance roll allowed you to *entirely* ignore the damage as long as you passed the roll.

like this, combat takes too long. it was either reducing health, or increasing damage, else fights that are actually played out to the bitter end would take months

Pretty much this. It's a crappy system for anything except freeform roleplay.

Ignoring the damage took a crit fail on the attacker's side and a crit success on the defender's side. Combat only took so long because Rag was away for half of it.

"it's just da job mon" - last words before she betrays us because an enemy made a good offer. she is a mercenary, and clearly has a morality so loose you could fit a building through it

And what do you judge these by? Is anyone who justifies their choice of employment by "It's just a job" a horrible mercenary who will do anything for a wuick buck? Does killing one person--a person who is incidentally fighting you, presumably intending to deal death or grievous harm--make you the most unspeakably evil kind of person possible?

Quote from: ragnarok97071 on February 07, 2014, 11:31:23 am

Also, if you recon the combat you kinda have to retcon... Pretty much everything that happened this week.

Well, the plot was entirely focused on the actions of your characters, with the others' actions making only nominal contributions (Kyle, even though it was pretty clear that his testimony wasn't enough to sway the angels without Yuri's) or none at all (everyone-fucking-else).
And the plot was murky and confusing, often made no sense, and let's face it nothing much really happened except the destruction of Arya's house.

Quote from: kj1225 on February 07, 2014, 11:31:57 am

Why are we changing the system that worked well In the past for no good reason?

Hell if I know.

Quote from: Akroma on February 07, 2014, 11:35:28 am

as a whole, retcons are a weak solution. It's always better to just make the best of the situation as it is, without raging too much about the meta

Retcons are the last-ditch solution to a crappy plot.

Quote

angels swiped the floor with us, we are now homeless

that's not too bad. It was forced unto us, sure, but it's an opportunity. As in real life, characters can't always chose the direction of their life, what matters is with how the deal with stuff they didn't think would happen.

You're missing the point. I'm not complaining about the quality of the outcome (well, except the lack of actual character development), I'm complaining about the quality of the process. Weren't you constantly complaining about how everything bent in favor of the aliens and how rag was screwing up or forgetting multiple actions most turns? How Hai never actually affected the combat at all?

excuse me, but all of Nuriels actions were considered. The round with the curse-sigil, would have made zero difference, the damage output of the flames is simply not high enough.


The only ones who got really screwed over were Hainuwele and Neferis, and I guess Marie with her Spheredoom, possibly Kyle with the glove-punch. All four of those could have made a significant change, but I guess as long as none of the corresponding demand a retcon, it's fine.


the players whose actions were accounted for but simply did nothing to change the course of the combat have less reason to complain.


It's the screwed-over players who may complain, and I am cool with that, so I'll leave it to the other three to judge if retconning the battle to a version where their actions might have worked come into play.


Hands down, Hainuweles debuffs could have changed a thing - but could have been dodged as well
Neferis throwing Dumah off balance could have changed a thing - or the compared strength roll could have failed
Spheredoom and glove punch might have worked - but there is no guarantee that either would have passed the roll to resist the curse sigil.


so even if all these actions are retconned, the outcome might not have changed much

Yes. Oddly enough, "No one's actions except Shys'm Caes and Yuri really made a difference" is one of my chief concerns.

You don't get it. The "Players had their actions missed" thing is actually one of the lesser concerns.

yeah, that was simply the effect of the angels having gigantic stats. But I don't take offense in that. If they are seraphim that are simply head and shoulder above even extraordinary mortals, they can have stats that reflect that. Remember Ra. From the getgo we decides against actually fighting that guy, because he is simply out of the league for mortals to fight. similar with the seraphim, though less so




for some fights, that's just how it goes. A level 1DnD character doesnt complain about not being able to kill an elder dragon either. Our power level was simply not high enough - and yes, it's a bit questionable to throw us enemies like that at this stage - but it's not taboo either.


as for the battle no mattering - it did serve to illustrate that Shis'm caes, who is usualy rather carefree, was unwilling to go, and in the end only agreed to go as a sacrifice to save all of our lives. Doing so creates a sense of urgency, that what these angels are about to do must be stopped


of course Kyle and Will totaly failed to notice that, and immediatly assumed that it will all be fine, because caes is their boss - eventhough Dumah clearly stated they didnt recognise the sealed form as her boss.
that being said, Shis'm Caes is not a very likeable character, and hardly involved with the group. rescueing Caes is more done *out of principle* than because we like caes so much


what I am actually annoyed with is that the conclusion of the plot was done by a single character alone - now that is not fair. Even if the solution is diplomatic, it should take more than just the arguements given by a single player to change someones mind

I thought it more illustrated that Shys'm Caes was an idiot, because she could have surrendered any time before that. It's not like we were doing great, then suddenly the core of our strategy collapsed.

Maybe on that one thing, but...well...you haven't really covered the larger issue. I mean, even if we decide that Kyle did make a difference, that's a grand total of two players who had any impact whatsoever on this plot. This is supposed to be a game, not a cutscene.

don't worry guys, I'll make sure to leave various pathways through my plots, though there are some key events of course that need to happen, unless the plot is to be cut incredibly short. But those only lead to the next phase of the plot, not to any final consequences.


I do note though that there is a handfull of combat. some can be avoided diplomaticaly, but sometimes some enemies just dont really care to listen unless you actively make them


compared to the plots seen so far, which were mostly just cutscenes, it's also a lot longer

Post by: Akroma on February 07, 2014, 01:19:24 pm

lets just leave it at that, Rag is a beginner GM. He usualy writes stories, and stories are just told, they are usualy not interactive.


naturaly, his first attempt at GMing would not be very satisfying. Is that a reason to just tear it all apart and say nope, that never happened?
It's a learning experience, Rags next plot will probably be better, and that's it.


so lets not dwell on it, and just make the best of the situation at hand. So the house being destroyed was forced on us, and the resolution of the plot as a whole was dissatisfactory for many. From an OOC perspective, meh, but in-game, it's an entirely reasonable event. Occasionaly stuff happens you don't like, you can't do much about it, and even once it's resolved it leaves a bitter after taste.


Not everything is candy and sunshine in magical girl land. Try to use it as an opportunity. How do the events effect Will and Nuriel? Especially Will has room for character growth here. He was away the entire time, and instead of actually trying to help his allies, only gave snarky remarks in server chat stuff. There's immediatly two scenarios that I could think about that could add debt to Will and his development in the future.


1) Seeing the devastation and sadness of his allies upon losing their home, Will could feel guilty about not being there to fight. Neferis is argueable less useful in a fight than even Will, but still gave it everything she had to defend her friends. Seeing someone act like that leaves room for going into yourself, and asking yourself *why* you didn't join in the fight. That kinda of thought can lead to the following point.


2) Will truely believes he is unable to do anything about the angels. But he is good at figuring stuff out, right? Maybe he should begin thinking about what would have been needed for there to be something done? Will could begin trying to find a way to make it so next time, he can defend his allies, like Neferis. Or he doesn't try to find a way. If he doesn't, why? Does Will not care enough about his friends? Is Will a pacifist who thinks violence can never solve a thing? Is Will maybe secretly a coward hiding behind a mask of snarky comments, who fears that should he try to fight, he might die, or that someone might actually realise his cowardice? Does he maybe have such a low sense of self-worth that he believes no matter what he does, he won't amount to anything anyway? Or maybe some entirely different motivation? How does Will deal with these emotions, and whom does he trust enough to talk about them with? What lies behind the exterior of loads and loads of snarky comments?




Giving a character weaknesses and insecurities and motivations is where the meat of character development lies, and a big event like Rag has, maybe unintentionaly, given us makes a perfect opportunity to expand upon it. Everybody can go lengths upon how awesome the strengths of their characters are, but when it comes to the kind of stuff that you don't introduce them with, stuff suddenly gets sparse.


And please don't say "But the rules were bullshit and unfair and blah". That's all in the meta. It's very important to strictly seperate meta knowledge from character knowledge, and your own personality from the character, unless it's seriously a self-insert. That also means sometime making a very risky, or plain wrong decision, because for the character it might seem not so.


Similar can be said about Kyle. What is behind all the additude as if he doesn't ever care about anything? When Hainuwele, who previously was mostly on Kyles side and did consider him a friend confronts him about being a traitor, is Kyles only emotional response really not understanding why anyone would be offended? Etc etc.


Get in the flow of the events and actually think about what it means to the characters, instead of caring about the meta, at all

Does that mean we should be stuck with the outcome of decisions that no one except rag had any hand in?

Quote

-snip-

Again, I'm not complaining about the results*, only the process. The process that left us no room to interfere. Basically, if ragnarok had typed up a post at the beginning of her plot that informed us that the angels destroyed the house before a confrontation with them and Yuri's mother lead to Yuri taking over her family (and her mother dying), the results would have been exactly the same as they were here except that we wouldn't have wasted a week waiting for rag to run another combat turn..
I'm fine with challenges, but they shouldn't be forced onto us with our having no way to resist it.

*Except for the lack of character development output.


Oh, and your claims that Will is more useful in a fight than Neferis? Amusing. After all, Neferis is super-strong, and Will's only skill lets him guess at all the BS abilities the angels had to screw us with.

Neferis has absolutely no Dexterity though and has trouble hitting anything that could move. Really, what we should do is make a harness for Will, so that he can ride on Neferis's back and direct her attacks with his powers.

ACTUALLY, it was said by Rag, over Skype, that it was completely possible to win that fight. If people focused on Dumah, you know, the one charging the giant laser, then it would be completely possible. She has low DEX, so it can't quite dodge as good as most. We would of hit it much more than the one with 50 DEX. Plus, Dumah only had like 400 HP as opposed to say, over 1000 HP on Seles/Asariel's part.

Well, Dumah is a giant prism. I don't think Hai's acupuncture is going to work on it that well anyways.

Actually, Rag just sorta mentioned out of nowhere towards the end of the plot.
And most of the time, we just plot things on Skype, rather than discuss lore :P

The point being I shouldn't have to ask about lore. I HAVE indeed asked for such lore.

I'm less pissed off about the plot and more about the fact that nobody even bothers asking me for approval on lore. Really, I shouldn't even have to mention it, but at least give me a heads up before you start adding random crap to the universe.

Well, first off, there was no indication that Kyle's arguments convinced the angels of anything, but fine. That means that there was nothing we could do for the first half of the plot--which was where everything that matters for after the plot happened--and only one player had any effect on the plot after that. Given that there are more than 2-3 players, this ain't much better.

Quote from: Akroma on February 07, 2014, 02:04:09 pm

Sometimes, there are events that a group of PCs simply can not change. Rather than making the player to complain about it with the GM until it all gets retconned, it should motivate the characters to make sure that won't happen next time through ingame means

That doesn't make it anything like acceptable GMing, or anything like fun, or even fair.
This is supposed to be a game, where the players collaborate to write a story, not a thing where the GM gets to decide everything and the players get no input.

How would we have known any of this useful information? And, um, people WERE focusing on Dumah when she was charging the laser, it's just that Asariel made almost all of the big ones fail and we barely had any time to deal 400 points of damage. Oh, and we would have also been able to focus on Dumah had rag not decided "This is a magical bad thing so it's a curse, duh" without consulting ANYONE, hence allowing everything to be negated for that one vital turn. Including the powerful effectively one-shot gauntlet Cyrielle had made and the attack Marie had been charging all combat.
Oh, and don't forget that while we struggle to deal 400+ damage to Dumah, Asariel would be hitting us half a dozen times per round and probably killing several of us.

The first choice is a foregone conclusion simply because Arya and Hollis will be pissed if they don't have a house, and they aren't moving to France for that.

The rest I'm leaving up to you people.

also, Arya has only appeared once in 500 pages. I have no clue who Hollis even is. If they dont move with the others, well, nothing of value was lost. When they are actually needed, they cna just teleport in

...so essentially, you're going to assume that a mansion wasn't at all valuable to them. At all.

And that leaving their house trashed is a nice way of thanking them for letting nearly everyone bunk there.

What would this thing have been like in the 19th century or earlier, since "renewable energy" wasn't a thing? (0/0 is bad.)
Or heck, before there was solar energy. I calculate that it would be shining with the light of zero suns between the invention of the concept of renewable energy and the invention of solar power.

The variables of its formula vary quite a bit, one of the times it appeared on Earth, before proper civilization began, that ratio was the ratio of wood used as fuel to total wood usage.

Our actions meant nothing. The battle would have had the exact same outcome as it would have had if everyone was playing Solitaire or Monopoly during the battle.

Even worse: The battle meant nothing. It was completely pointless and had almost no effect on the rest of plot.

I agree, it literally consisted of Dumah trying to commit vandalism in the most over the top way possible whilst being protected by that other angel.

Actually, Rag just sorta mentioned out of nowhere towards the end of the plot.
And most of the time, we just plot things on Skype, rather than discuss lore :P

And yet Ashley ended up gaining a revival trait, the antimagic barrier suddenly decreased in effectiveness dramatically and binding became considered to be a curse.

Very well, in case it ever comes under dispute I will declare this thus If all the requirements for a Wall Street contract are met, it becomes binding until the specified duration. It can not be disabled, negated or otherwise circumvented in any way, shape or form short of a direct act of true omnipotence or Fate dissolution. This applies regardless of what realm the entities signing it are associated with.
In addition,
Anything that enters Fate ends. No concepts are recognized within it, including omnipotence, omnipresence and immortality. Complete denial of existence will occur to even Shy'm Caes or Void if they for whatever reason decide to enter. Removed entities can never be revived or otherwise replicated. They will be remembered, but all specific details forgotten.
Finally, to prevent abuse
"It is virtually impossible to enter Fate. If a mechanism for doing so is used, its creator will be sent through first."

Well, the last two things were never discussed over Skype.
And as for Ashley getting the revival trait, that was mentioned in character sever hundred pages ago when Void was teach Ashley about Voidwalkers. And it's less that she just strait up can't die, but more that she can only die if she wills herself to die.

Good luck doing that, you'd need someone foolish or deluded enough to want to enter Fate, and generally if they were that foolish/deluded, they wouldn't amass enough power/knowledge to do so.

Yes, I fumbled the hell out of the combat, I admit that, but I draw the line at that. And the reason kyle was the one to solve it was simple: at that point, everyone in the fucking game was starting to hate me because of shit, I wanted it over because it had lost its fun, in no small part due to your ceaseless stream of rude comments, and he was online. and much as I can't GM dice-based systems worth shit, I am not a gorram idiot and I'd prefer if you didn't assume I'm one.

Oh, and your claims that Will is more useful in a fight than Neferis? Amusing. After all, Neferis is super-strong, and Will's only skill lets him guess at all the BS abilities the angels had to screw us with.

Neferis has absolutely no Dexterity though and has trouble hitting anything that could move. Really, what we hould do is make a harness for Will, so that he can ride on Neferis's back and direct her attacks with his powers.

...

No? :P

Yeah, no.
Besides, if we want to improve Will's combat abilities, you know wht we should do?
Get him a gun. He was damn good with that sniper rifle back in the crossover.

He could just borrow Alice's anti-material rifle. It's a Gepárd GM-6 Lynx.

Good luck doing that, you'd need someone foolish or deluded enough to want to enter Fate, and generally if they were that foolish/deluded, they wouldn't amass enough power/knowledge to do so.

There are ways.

Oh, and by the way...how is that "Whoever invents a way into Fate gets eaten by it" thing calculated? Could an AI of sorts be set up and told to find it, and then not eat the guy who told the AI to find it?

It's going to have to be a supernatural mechanism that can be used, similar to time travel. Finding it does not kill, it is using the mechanism that causes death. It is very much something that requires a certain degree of willpower to achieve as Fate lies past the end of the universe, which in most people's realities, cannot ever occur, once a mechanism is prepared, the only issue is overcoming one's own point of view. Lore-wise at least.

Meta-wise, it's so that it can't be weaponized properly as a perfect insta-kill. Even if a way to enter it is created, the person would be able to negate it simply by still possessing some of their own perspective and thus refuting the will-power based mechanism.

If all else fails, have Selina create a magical catalyst to use a weapon like the one Cyrielle created, Will would be able to deal quite a lot of damage with unnerving accuracy though it would only have a low chance of working each time it is used.

Post by: Empiricist on February 07, 2014, 09:58:32 pm

Essentially, there is nothing preventing any time travel or realm intrusion mechanism with the right modifications from allowing entry, the issue is, the realm known as Fate is incompatible with everyone's views as it resides temporally after the end of the universe, except as stated by @Ragnarok, the universe will never end. Furthermore this temporal locaton is paradoxical when you consider that nothing exists in Fate, including time, hence its temporal location is both impossible and contradictory. In addition to that, it technically does not exist. Nothing exists within Fate. Including Fate.

As the modifications will have to be based on willpower, the person being transported would have to actually posses a compatible point of view. That is, one where those paradoxes and contradictions do not exist.

Reasoning and sense of logic. In order to meet the criteria, the person must still be able to perceive paradoxes, yet usual paradoxes such as "this statement is false" would be able to be seen with their logic as an arbitrary, but logical statement rather than a paradox.

hmm, because it's probably relevant, I'll copy something into here immediatly


The workings of accupuncture

Knowledge of the lay of the puncture points alongside a Meridian that form the astral body is just half the rent - they are the factor that directs the effect, but not the activation method - which is why the bit of accupuncture humans learned from the sparse contact with fingerlings in ancient history is mostly useless. To bring a system out of balance, or to return it to balance, more Chi needs to be added, and a needle is a useful conductor. Upon piercing a meridian, the user must pump amounts of their own Chi into the foreign system, which is what causes the imbalance. The greater the amount of Chi transfered in relation to the natural Chi of the target, the greater the effect. So while using 10 Mana might just cause a small numbness to a target that possesses 500+ Mana, the same target becomes so much more susceptible once it has used up a lot of Mana. The very same target, towards the end of combat, having exhausted a good amount of Mana on various spells and superpowers and whatnot, will suddenly find accupressure to be extremely dangerous. With only 200 Mana left, 10 Mana points in accupressure could easily paralyze the entire upper body. If a target has used up all Mana, even small amounts of Mana can throw the system that much into unbalance that it may very well kill that target on the spot. The duration of the effect varies mostly on the bodies ability to cope with the unbalance - that is to say, a mind roll. If the mind roll to resist the effect upon introductions is passed (as per standard game mechanics), there may be no effect at all. The effect then persists for a while depending on how much mana was introduced, and how much the initial mind roll failed. Enemies who are able to actually identify what is going on, and have a great enough controle over their body, could try to purge the foreign mana through sheer willpower - however the concentration needed to do that is enormous (decent DC, vulnerable while doing so), and if failed, could just end up purging your own mana. If the foreign mana is left alone to do it's thing, it's risky to use your own mana for spells and superpowers, as it will only further tip the scale towards the effect - the numbness that you previously barely noticed may start to spread, and paralyze you eventually. The foreign Mana is of course useless for the target - it's hard enough to use your own mana to cast spell, entirely foreign mana is incredibly hard to controle. Enemies with abilities that focus on draining enemy mana might be able to make use of this mana though.

An entirely different kind of effect is the Chi-leak, which exists in two variants:

The external Chi leak: An accupressure point is opened outwards, and is held open by the foreign Mana that was introduced into the target, letting Mana slowly escape - the victim will lose Mana overtime. Unlike effect-based accupressure, this does not create an imbalance, so it's not getting more effective the less Mana a target has, but in fact, is more effective on targets that have a lot of mana -imagine it like water pressure. If there is lot's of Mana in the body, it will flow out faster than if there is little, in other words, the mana lost every round is % based, the percentage that escapes depends on the foreign mana introduced (I am thinking something about 5% medium, less would make hardly a difference, more would seem OP). As above, the duration depends on the compared mind roll upon activation, and the whole can actively be closed, given that you notice what is going on and have a somewhat decent understanding of the matter.

the internal Chi leak: Chi does more than just act as fuel for fireblasts, it also directs pretty much all processes in your body, and sustains them. The Mana in your list is just the excess Mana that can be used freely, and while using it will exhaust you, it will not actually interfer with, say, your heartbeat. Thats why it's possible to cast stuff using HP instead - it draws from your essential Mana pool, thus could potentially kill you if you overdo it. The internal Chi-leak aims at the internal circuit (high DC, this shit is difficult), and once successful, redirects essential chi (HP) into the excess chi (mana) pool. That is to say, your HP will slowly turn into MP until the leak is fixed, slowly shutting your bodies essential functions down. This is a very serious wound, as directly controling your essential Mana pool is rather difficult. The DC to actively close the wound is much higher as with normal chi afflictions. Targets whith very low mind have a relatively high chance of not even noticing the effect - and more or less die of internal bleeding

((Ratios as shown here made up, @Elf feel free interpret sensible ratios on your own for the scale of the effect, but keep in mind the general small effect - big cause thought. Imagine an old fashioned scale. It doesn't take all that much to tip it. So try to keep in mind the current categories, 50+ Mana is a noticable debuff, even at full HP. The entire combat style is aimed at slowly wittling the target down, and accupuncture perfectly suited to be a weapon of attrition))

Basically, they're a class of spirit so powerful that their mere presence warps and distorts reality. They get around this by technically not being there, merely manifesting themselves through hosts.

Yeah, yandere FTW. Although if she falls in love with Kyle she'll have her work cut out for her...Or you could take a little inspiration. From that first episode, I got the idea that she was kinda privileged and the mean kind of aloof.

To be fair, it wasn't really a time skip.
Just that we kinda forgot a few days from the current scenes in the castle.
Moving takes time, people.

We didn't really bring much, and we also skipped over preparatory scenes. No one cares about moving scenes, sure, but what about the Angel/Alistair roleplay?

Void only has a time because the only one visiting it is Ashley, who imposes her expectations on it by dint of... being there.

Except if it has no time, then how does life and death work? One of the Angels was unmade. If no time exists, then wouldn't that Angel also still exist and not exist? After all, there is no time and no causality to dictate whether it exists or not.

Also, wouldn't simply by being there and observing, Ashley would have forced a temporal state for the entities and as a result removed many from existence? Sort of similar to quarantine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarantine_%28Greg_Egan_novel%29).

I point out that the Void is WEIRD.

Also, if an angel was in Void then they'd be erased from existence entirely, backward and forward, since they're spirits of Creation.

Well for that I just point out that void is weird and impossible to properly comprehend because it doesn't follow any rules that you'd assume it should.

Unless you're actually there, but then it only follows them because you expect it to and that expectation shapes your reality.

The Void Angels would not be those things when in the Void. They'd be something else entirely, likely just parts of the greater being that they serve.

But they never left the void! One of them apparently got unmade. It has never left the void. Does it still exist or not?

Also, if it's only expectation that shapes it, then the strict adherence to source material for forms should NOT apply. After all, whilst you could argue that many people know about Warhammer 40k, not THAT many know its exact lore, hence the entities that manifested as creatures from them have no reason to be confined to the lore.

Considering that void is a main part of the universe, yes. Because that raises the question of whether void created weapons also would shapeshift and whether by forcing it to adopt the form of an entity that would be Creation-linked, what would happen.

The issue is, there is no consistency to the Void, except that it's inconsistent. it is wholly defined by the expectations and point of view of those there, to the point that the very fabric of what is changes on a constant basis, only held in stasis by the expectations and viewpoints of beings inside it.

Quite simply, simply by being in Creation, any substance of Void must either conform to the expectations of Creation or be expelled, which is why they must fit into some sort of pattern, the easiest being the conceptual narrative of living beings.

Think of them like the classes in Fate/Stay Night.

They have certain characteristics that they MUST follow to fit the archetype.

yes, they can ignore some features, but only insofar as they do not flaw the validity of the persona they've taken up, or else they are summarily exiled to whence they came.

The fact that it is still a place where an external observer's perception distorts it which is perfectly consistent. If it were consistently inconsistent, wouldn't the influence of observers randomly vary? Or am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Also, what happens if that perception forces a void entity into the form of something tied to Creation?

The fact that it is still a place where an external observer's perception distorts it which is perfectly consistent. If it were consistently inconsistent, wouldn't the influence of observers randomly vary? Or am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Also, what happens if that perception forces a void entity into the form of something tied to Creation?

Usually? They roll with it, I mean they're constantly changing normally, not like the form's anything odd for them. And naturally, the Void has no consistent rules, eternally existing in all possible states at once, but the simple act of a being observing it causes those myriad possibilities to collapse into a single one that fits the intent and perception they bring with them.

Yeah, but STD's aren't necessarily only transmitted that way. Often they may be transmitted various other bodily fluids.

But when something enters void, it collapses the waveform rather than starting to act in a superposition instead. That is, it essentially overrides void in its own domain.

Actually, lore-wise, it would pervade into all the superpositions and cause all of them to be the exact same thing, that is, the complete destruction of it. It only ceases because the realm stops it, so lore-wise, void would have to stop it. Otherwise void wouldn't exist.

To go into detail:

The distortion would grow, consuming the Void utterly, creating a space of uniform, unimpeded naught.

And then, because this is an impossibility even beyond the end of all cosmology, beyond even Fate, that the void is uniform, it would cause a retroactive distortion in the void itself, reshuffling themselves around the Distortion in order to preserve the flux, essentially unmaking the distortion before it ever came into being.

So um.

Yeah, it does nothing.

Except it never grew to that size because as soon as it would have been subsumed it was retroactively unmade to have never been.

repeat after me:

The void is weird.

I will not apply laws or reason or logic to it.

it is beyond such things.

nothing exists inside it, it is not, yet it has space and form and substance.

beyond time, and being, and non-being, it is eternal, beyond eternal.

Basically, there is NO way to end the Void. It's the natural state of everything, and if Fate and it got into an argument, it would eat Fate.

It's not omnipotence.

Shys'm Caes is technically omnipotent at full power.

The void is beyond her.

It's something so utterly beyond even omnipotence that it's impossible to even describe.

And yet everything overrules it, because it's contradictory like that.

If you destroy void, you create it.

if you create void, you destroy it.

For every victory you win, you lose ground elsewhere.

This is void, as has been established.

Could be, though her power could also be from Creation, depending on the mechanism used.

If it's warping of reality through manipulation of underlying currents of fate, then Creation.

If it's just telling Reality to go suck a dick and do what she wants because she says so, probably Void or Twilight depending.

man, if you like plots that are rooted firmly in logic, you will like the uncreated

You ask, what is the form of the uncreated? What is their flesh? Can you not distinguish them by their horns? Do they not have many arms? Is their blood not acid? What house to you build from disease? How heavy is the grind stone of the soul mill? I tell you however, the form that you associate with them is not. Because where you say they are, they are not. What we see, feel and smell is veil and and mantling. And where there is a will, there is a look behind the veil. Understand that it is sheer will, that calls the unformed into being, that greates a mold for the unformed chaos. A limitation of their form is just a limitation of your mind.
The priest sais: Sultanes there are 12, and each of them follow 12 kings, and each king follow 12 servants. The demonologists sais, their number is 365, as the days of the year, and the demon of the first day is weak, for it is the day of creation, and the demon of the last day is above the LORD, for it is the day of the end. I tell you, their number is so big, that the arabic numbers can not capture them, for in algebra there is no number big enough to pull it in for a description. That may be that all the uncreated that we have described are just categories of infinite chaos. But what is infinite times the infinite? - metaspekulative demonology, unknown author, ca. 1600.

True enough. No blood transfusions, then.

Maybe everyone has implants that give them 'STDs' when they have sex before marriage.

Given the number of people who have engaged in premarital intercourse and gotten nothing more than the STD of life, if that, I doubt it.

Quote from: GreatWyrmGold on February 09, 2014, 08:41:30 am

The origin of demons? About all we've worked out is that they're creatures of Void as much as of Creation.

Their role? Well...I suppose they help with afterlife stuff, but mostly demons keep to Hell. Demons who don't stick to demonic affairs tend to be pursuing their own agenda, so they can't really be said to have an overall "role". They might deal with mortals, slaughter people start cults, but they don't have any one role.

You know, Cado, there's an OOC thread.

Most folks, including Ashley and her daughter, are in Kyle's unnamed castle. Angel invited Alistair to stay over at her house while Ayra's place was being repaired. There was also a timeskip ahead to Saturday before the Angel/Ali thing could be done, but we're catching up.

Hell if I know where Selina, Conny, and Meme went. Conny probably went to the castle, Meme and Selina might have stayed in Northdale.

Post by: RangerCado on February 09, 2014, 12:15:20 pm

I just woke up.

Meme is probably with Angel.

Conny is at the castle most likely.

Selina... is either where Maria is staying, or possibly with Yuri, depending on whether Elf feels like having Maria in a situation she can talk.

That was pretty much the only reason why we didn't merge the lore of the two was due t the mechanical differences and the fact that I found the void to be rather crowded for emptiness incarnate.

He impregnated a fairy who has built-in birth control. He could impregnate a species from a different planet if the only available member wasn't so she. He has impregnated demons, who don't even have wombs.

IN multi-roll thnigs, exploding dice means that rolling max gives you a free extra roll. so if you roll 3d6 and get two sixes, you can roll another 2d6.

anyway, sleep time


god damnit, another plot wherein I only see the intro, but the action is at 1am. Being european in an america-centric game is suffering.




Controle over ICARUS (for dungeon crawling purposes only!) go to Kyle, because that makes the most sense. Hainuwele will just sit on ICARUS head and observe, possibly help if anyone remembers that she is there to help.

god damnit, another plot wherein I only see the intro, but the action is at 1am. Being european in an america-centric game is suffering.

Given the number of times my zone has caused me to miss whole plots, it ain't much better for Americans.

Somehow it works. Don't ask me how, but the remaining wolves are following Kyle now. Obviously everyone else just... kinda stops attacking. The woman looks stupefied too.

Alistair and Angel may or may not have crushes on each other, but while Alistair will age, Angel won't. When Alistair's a twenty-four year old man, Angel will still be five.

Well, Kyle hasn't shown any signs of this just being an act, so...for the present time, it's fair to operate on the assumption that Kyle is an idiot.
(Further evidence: When Will was criticizing Kyle's intellect, Kyle wrote "Will was right" as part of his crazy-room.)

Quote from: IamanElfCollaborator on February 10, 2014, 12:02:52 pm

I just realised, AlistairxAngel is one of the most tragic ships ever.
Alistair and Angel may or may not have crushes on each other, but while Alistair will age, Angel won't. When Alistair's a twenty-four year old man, Angel will still be five.
And woe betide either of them if they still retain feelings for each other after that long.

That is pretty sad.

Being knowledgeable or good with technology doesn't make one not stupid. Not doing stupid things makes one not stupid.
Exhibit A: Tony Stark. Iron Man 3. Tells a terrorist where he lives, doesn't take the slightest precaution. Or even the first movie, where he doesn't pay attention to the actions of his business partner. At all. Or really oversee the business.

Why would he be depressed about people calling him stupid if he was just pretending to be stupid? Especially if the person he fooled was the guy who has a power that makes him good at figuring things out?

one round of kinetic shield should do us well, while you guys maybe pick off some of the wounded ones, so in round 3, their numbers will have shrunkg significantly

Keith is that gym teacher everyone loves because he doesn't make them do shit and also tells bullies to buck off.

Ashley could be any of the following subjects:
French
English
Latin
Italian
Literature (yes, sometimes at schools there are teachers specifically for literature.)
World History

Latin. Definitely latin. _{I like latin, okay?} Things might be a bit weird if Nodoka goes to the school though.

I like Latin as well (considering that I'm taking it right now.. <.<).

Although, Nodoka would just be one of those really smart kids that know everything :P
And also happens to be the daughter of a teacher.

Just in an AU. I plan to do a High School AU with a AngelxAlistairxMeme love triangle, where Angel has been patiently waiting to win Alistair over and Meme wants him to notice her.

There was a crossover. In two separate universes, Projeck had an Ashley and kj had a Kyle. In the other 'verse, Ashley was bearing Kyle's child. Then the two Ashleys fused.

On the subject of Ashley's other child, if it hasn't been explained:

The child that was kyle and hers was similarly affected by the Void as her upon entering Ashley's body, as it is essentially a fragment of the void, but due to being a fetus was unable to emerge or otherwise interact with... anything, it ended up passing on to the void itself in short order, where it would be mutated and changed by the void, which shaped it to fit a need that it had, which required a being born of creation and void in unison, which is normally impossible. However, due to the baby's unique nature, it managed this impossibility, and was later born into this status via a trigger event fitting for the birth of a child.

So um, yeah, that's how we managed to fit the baby into plot without requiring twins :P

it has 3 actions in a row, it could conceivably one-shot hainuwele.
then again, everything can one-shot hainuwele. it could have also been very dangerous to Will.


Anyway, as you are the GM, you may very well decide to slow health regeneration down, especially when the wounded people stay active, rather than actually resting and getting treatment. I'll probably do something like that when my turn comes, so even weak enemies are not *entirely* inconsequential

Basically, a quest for the holy grail which I am sure will end horribly because the holy grail is a massive ass.

Actually, it has slowed down quite a bit since I've started my plot. Sometimes I'd go to sleep and come back to 30+ pages of conversations. Also, it's definitely the largest forum game on Bay12. Assuming your just going by posts though.

Since those small messages are typically part of conversations, there isn't really any cure for that unless we want to completely destroy basically all roleplaying.

come on, the discussion was SFW enough, and in a sense MGQ is even on topic (various magical creatures that spend their days...hugging and more)
note that ICARUS only came to being as the end of a train of thought with "hmm, can I make a MGQ character?"


Alice? - meh, also the "setting out to help achieve coexistance between humans and own race" was already done with Hainuwele (also, guess where the name Hainuwele came from)
Tamao? - made it unto the *to consider* list
Granberia - already have Stella
Alma Elma? - too nsfw
Erubetie? - too OP
Obviously none of the next dolls, the angels were also out
Promestein? - double meh
Black Alice? - we already have Marie
Chrome? - too loli
Shirome? - made it into the *to consider list*
Sylph? - with Hainuwele, another mini-girl would be un-needed. Basicaly take Alice motivation, Sylphs body and Hainuweles name and bam, thats where we are now.
Gnome? - Neferis
Undine? - same as erubetie
Salamander? - Nuriel
Laplace - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


of course, how would one make laplace into a proper magical girl?
ICARUS, thats how

In my defence, nobody ever bothers trying to refrain from spooking Izzy, nobody ever WANTS to talk to Arya and I didn't see the Alistair posts.

It's not that I don't want to participate, it's just that when the only characters who get interacted with are a guy who's nowhere near the action and a summon of another character, who pretty much gets ignored by all except Selina, it gets somewhat boring. And I HAVE tried to emphasise other characters; Albrecht ended up getting a tumbler to the face by Will, Izzy got forgotten about, Ali ALSO got forgotten, and Neferis ended up with USEC.

Well to be fair, it is a pain in the ass to have my character, who isn't a main and thus I don't HAVE to play him, constantly treated like crap whenever he appears. Hain is Akroma's main and was her/his only character for a while and Kyle is practically his only character, barring Keith.

Dodging interactions was one way of encouraging people to ACTUALLY LOOK FOR MY OTHER CHARACTERS instead of repeating "MariaxSelina nonsense" which, while cute, gets boring. Also, useful for when I'm busy doing something else.

Also, they might as well be considering that nobody ever bothers to look for them. This is after other attempts to emphasise them; giving Ali a magic form, having Albrecht show a joking side, actually letting Izzy out, and even my main took BEING KIDNAPPED to have anyone pay attention to her.

I made Hainuwele and ICARUS very different from eachother, almost exagerately so.


With your chars Elf, I'm afraid, the only difference I have seen so far were the different colors of the voices. I mean no insult, they are just not..very identifyable/memorable

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on February 13, 2014, 12:42:53 pm

Because ironically nobody bothered to interact enough to differentiate. Of course you've seen no difference because you've only seen about one, two, maybe three or four of them.

That's even less encouraging, to be honest, considering my characters ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

It doesn't help when their never in a definded location, or are hiding behind a big scary Golem in their room.

Meme being fully rejected doesn't help her chances of EVER interacting with her again, Selina is busy trying to be with 4 people at the same time (as well as also being rejected for any kind of conversation), and Conny was (again) rejected from any conversation. Izzy is Selina gone overboard in the 'people make me nervous' department.

That was all for Izzy. For Albrecht...

Selina has had little to no interactions with him thus far, Conny sees him as a prankster who just hangs around bored all the time, and Meme thinks he's mean by always being an illusion around her.

sorry, but if you feel your characters don't get enough interaction, you should take an active stance, rather than a passive one. they are not stationary machines that people need to activate with words, they may very well take their own interest in other characters and approach them




also, balancing thought, numerical advantage might be too strong as it is now. From n>=3, it becomes entirely impossible to dodge an attack. The -10 penalty was suggested back then with d100s in mind, not with a few d10s
-5 might be more suited

Well, there's simply some characters who don't like kids, I guess. No prolem with that. Though note that whenever one of my players decides to play an unsociable character who never talks and just kinda watches everything happen, but then goes along anyway because killing stuff, I bop them over the head with a rulebook.


I play TDE, the rulebooks are heavy.

So...you're telling me that, because we rarely interact with your characters, you don't do anything that might make us want to interact with them?

Why is it all on us, anyways? Isn't it a two-way street? Why do all interactions have to be started by not-Elf people? Why do many of these get brushed off?

Quote from: IamanElfCollaborator on February 13, 2014, 12:42:53 pm

That's even less encouraging, to be honest, considering my characters ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Out of your three main non-summon ones, one is an AU version of another and the third is their sister.
And again, you're blaming our not wanting to interact with your characters on making your characters unappealing to interact with.

also, balancing thought, numerical advantage might be too strong as it is now. From n>=3, it becomes entirely impossible to dodge an attack. The -10 penalty was suggested back then with d100s in mind, not with a few d10s
-5 might be more suited

Yeah, I had the same idea too. I'll fix that for the next fight, assuming that we even have another one before my plot ends.

Honestly, Emp, why does it seem like you would rather not be in the RP? I don't get you. :V

Because I am rather busy right now and need some excuse to avoid reading several pages of posts and distracting myself from my studies. Also, my interest tends to fluctuate.

Basically, every time my interest wanes, I attempt to kill off my character. Yes, that means that my interest in TA rapidly fluctuated, with each wane corresponding to my character attempting to commit suicide or other self-destructive acts.

Well, that or I may just be trying to procrastinate for as long as possible before I restructure my list by player rather than alphabetical order, add the newer characters and attempt to create interesting titles :P

And it never occurred to you that you could just have your characters distracted with filler plot or have, y'know, lives? :P

Also, we should really decide what Ciro's name is. The official spelling seems to by Shys'm Caes now. The one in your list is something else, the one in the profile is Shy'sm Caes. tis silly :P

I prefer more dramatic options :P

I thought I said it already. It's 3d10s with exploding dice. DEX vs. DEX to hit, -5/10 for being attacked multiple times in a row, damage is (3d10 + STR - END)x2, or swap in MAG/MIND for magic attacks. Abilities/special attacks I'm just winging it for now. Not a very complicated system, and there is definite room for improvements.

   HILDA-01 (Hovering Integrated Locomotive Device and Assets) is a robotic android with metallic skin and bright azure eyes. Her legs are branded with a blocky text saying 'HILDA-01'. It is unknown who or what made her, but she very close to Human indeed -- she is capable of feeling a wide range of emotions and can respond to situations effectively. She has a strong mind and can do math in a moment's notice, from graphing linears to calculating orbital trajectory. As an experimental model, she experiences software and hardware glitches at times. She also has a device known as a MSC (Magic Siphon Chip), a feature that allows her to gather and use mana just as a normal magic user would do.
   If she is pushed to her limit, she may transform to HILDA-ALPHA-01, a large mecha which can utilize powerful attacks (less magic attacks, more physical attacks)

Why does HILDA have 540?

well Flan, this only serves to show why you should join the game too. It's a TvTropes status game, high quality stuff,..right?

also damn, it would take ages to go through all of those tropes and link those that apply to my chars. NO way I'll ever add to that list. The charsheets in the OOC will do

See, there's the problem: people only tend to update their own characters. Of course, part of that is because that's who they know best. But eeeeh.

Yeah, the annoying part is not adding the characters, but going through the whole tropes thing and and adding all those that apply :P


Also, ICARUS *has* no morality programm. Not anymore than a toaster anyway. ICARUS is a living weapon. But, like toasters have various settings, ranging from *barely even warmed up* to *can be used in a forge to heat up metal*, ICARUS has various degrees of killitude

Speaking of, what would be the trope for Marie being a Nightmare and a psychiatrist? It's not an aversion of Modern Major General, cuz she's not particularly great at other things, but such irony still deserves blueness!

Selective of course. Denies all ways in except the one used by the plot.

Furthermore, as it only denies access, it means that people can use their magic inside as long as it isn't to enter or leave.

Unless there's only a limited opportunity for that method which has now passed, Will's method may indeed be feasible as the explanations presented thus far require an exception or loophole to exist, though the issue is of course supplying it with enough power, not too much of an issue though considering the parties involved...

USEC, USEC, USEC. The more you try to stop me, the more I will try.

Especially since it makes sense IC. He's trying to stop Kyle from completely breaking, so it makes sense to try and reconnect him with Kelyn. Also, he wants to be able to access the Holy Grail if needed.

Or that he's sad because he got separated from said love interest?
I think that's something...
Also that Bethany is kind of in shock from stabbing Kieth.
Showed Tobias's annoyance towards Kyle, which is some character development.

Post by: Akroma on February 15, 2014, 08:29:28 am

always giving out 5 skillpoints at the end of the chapter is quite a lot. you should differentiate it depending on how high level the char already is


for instance ICARUS still has a base of 75, the minimum, thus should get +5 in stats +exp
meanwhile Hainuwele is already at 86 and only need 40 more exp to level up. While I do love some nice stats, I'd say that Hainuwele, and other chars who participated who are at a similar amount of skills or higher should get less stat-ups as well as less exp, maybe only exp


I'll wait with putting the bonus points on my sheet until Elf has given an official statement

if I understood Elfs level system, it was +5 for the first level, +4 for the next level, etc, so it eventually evens out.
every plot giving auto +5s kinda makes the level stuff pointless. there are still many plots ahead, and like this we will have gigantic stats in no time - which in turn means enemies need bigger stats, etc, gigantic arms race, soon we will be able to slap Dumah around like a bitch

My plot is so background it could have it's own thread! That is, if I ever figure out what I want to DO with it. :P

The basic outline is that Marieserver pulls an avatar of everyone's consciousness into some sort of braceletserver universe hereby labeled the Marietrix. The real people can look in on what their avatars are doing, but the avatars can't look out.

also it will probably wake Stella up once or twice

He wants to be one of the cool kids.

Remember, Akroma, it's not the size of the plot, it's how you use it. I could probably describe my plot in only 2-3 sentences, but it will doubtless do at least two neat RP things no other plot has.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on February 15, 2014, 06:16:24 pm

I certainly hope to. At the least, I won't be running overpowered monsters, using contrived plot devices, or not leaving any mark on the game afterwards.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 15, 2014, 06:27:51 pm

yeah, but


- everyone is so powerful, combat is almost arbitrary. enemies may seem overpowered, but really, that's what it takes to avoid them being blasted to bits almost immediatly. It's magical girls fighting evil - just talking evil out of it kinda destroys any suspension of disbelieve. Ra just folding like that, Dumah rather easily agreeing with simply letting Shysm go... Sometimes things just do what they want because they can, and have little reason to actually listen to you in the first place. Imagine WW2 as a plot. Hitler had the army to start a war, wanted to start a war, and it took an enormous effort to put an end to that - and sometimes the effort is what the PCs have to do. When an enemy is too strong to simply blast to pieces, finding a way is what goes - and nope, just talking hitler out of that kinda stuff was not really an option.


- contrived plot devices..I am not sure which one you mean. Haven't seen many McGuffin things around yet, except maybe the Menhir thing - and that wasn't too bad. That being said, is this not a game of tropes? A bit cliche wont hurt. I am suprised nobody did any *find the 7 crystals of McGuffinness* yet, and wouldn't even complain if they do
. nothing bad with cliche

- hehe, leaving a mark on the game afterwards is what I am aiming at. it's a bit problematic, because frankly, most characters are kinda like teflon. they simply don't care. Best example is Kyle, I guess, but Jaque is also a good example. The characters simply don't quite care enough, because usualy they are simply too strong and, excuse me, too flattly written to care. And of course when you try to actually *make* them care, you get instantly bitched at for doing so. I am pretty sure that whatever you have planned will leave a lot less of an impression on everyone than you originaly planned - as far as storytelling goes, rotmg is a difficult medium, like trying to grow algae in vinegar rather than water. I am sure it will be exactly the same thing for me too, which is why I am already contacting players to connect their characters to the plot

On the other hand...well, you kinda hit the nail on the head there. To deal with Dumah, Shys'm just had to go with them. There wasn't any good way to deal with them--and since the game was being run by rag, there was nothing any of us could really do to change that.
The enemies in my planned plot are in the happy medium--they're not so weak they'll fall immediately, but they also aren't so strong that you have literally no choice but to go along with what they want.

Sometimes, to make a difference you need to not give them a choice. Do something that changes the world around them. Destroy/Conquer their hometown, maybe. Or connect to one of their motivations, something they want to do that they haven't been able to.

_{Go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb!}

Rule 63'd Gurren Lagann? I like it!

So basically, her powers would amount to "I roll to Disbelieve!" on a magical scale. I can dig it.

I've already figured both of those parts out, obviously. Also, not so much of a voyeur as just deeply curious. Except, given the game that she's in...

I just realized, since Will is in a stable, monogamous relationship, does this mean that Lily flirts with everyone? And with her powers...

Indeed she does.
What am I missing about her powers?

Quote

...
I haven't really played Magic the Gathering, but don't you start out with 20 life?

Yup. Most creatures only deal 1-3 damage or so; dragons start at 5 and go up; and a whole crapton of creatures can do a crapton of damage.

Quote

Of course it is. Why else would we be so excited about Mirror!Lily?

1. Mirror!Lily would be Will, because Lily is Mirror!Will.
2. I don't get the connection.

Quote

Mirror!ICARUS is... an overly emotional dryad, I guess. Or whatever the male version of a dryad is.

Treant? Satyr? I'd go with treant, because they--like ICARUS--don't really have a gender.
Also, ICARUS is smaller than people and treants are larger.

Quote

On the subject of Mirror!People, Mirror!Ester is obviously Tobias, and Mirror!Tobias is obviously Ester. :P

Eh. They have some similarities. And I'd say that the Mirrors' relationships would be more or less the opposite of the reals' relationships.

Kyle makes a mental note to have the council move the drive and port to a more tactically sound area. Like... her arm pit and her pubic region. Is it technically a pubic region? ... Just gonna call it the area below the waist on the torso.

they should wait until there is a proper plot connected to them. afterall, wouldn't the mirror versions of magical girls be magical villains?

We wouldn't be doubling it unless everyone actually made a mirror for all their characters. And some probably don't even fit.

And how often do we act like magical girls?
On a more serious note, this is one part foreshadowing, one part character development for the future villains, and two parts we have nothing better to do.

the first chapter is nothing. it gets so very much worse. the cartoonishw ay punpun is illustrated is a brilliant method to increase the impact of certain things. at first it seems to weaken the scenes, however then the realisation sinks in what is actually going on, and it becomes so much more worse

Also I got an idea for something that isn't really plot but to show exactly how lax IRIS is with the confirmed safe sentient monsters and what they can do with their employees. Also Maybe it will make IRIS seem a bit older considering how many examples there will be.

I... actually don't think that a young boy who likes a young girl has a specific name. It's just a regular relationship, I guess. Or what Cado said.

well, for weeks you complained nobody took your clues, while I tell you to be less subtle. Now you mark a piece of seemingly casual conversation with *important rp*, and ICARUS asks you about that, because hey, it does look like an attempt at being less subtle

...This opens up a new question.
Why the hell was ICARUS listening in on a conversation between Will and his girlfriend while they were on a picnic?

(P.S. My point: Not all RP is about you, Akroma! That was for the ease of wolfchild finding the reply involving the Will/Stella RP in the sea of other stuff.)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 18, 2014, 12:48:07 pm

well excuse me, but when you publicaly complain about your RP being ignored, it is not a far stretch to assume that it's public RP. Wolfchild only posts like once a day, and that post is usual saying sorry for the inactvity and asking what was missed. instead of complaining publicaly in the OOC thread wolfchild might not even read, PM him for gods sake.




also, bracelets. thats why I take them off for privacy

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on February 18, 2014, 01:08:17 pm

Well excuse me for thinking that RP for only one person can count as "important enough to mark".

And do you see Will, Angel, and Nuriel butting in on private conversations?

Finally...be mildly annoyed all you like, but declaring that my previous notes of no one picking up on RP are valid when ICARUS picks up on RP from hours earlier in-game which was completely not intended for her and Will reacts appropriately is a bit...mean.
(And really, does ICARUS need to ask what Will's been busy with? She was there for some of the more recent stuff.)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on February 18, 2014, 01:25:37 pm

err, Will butts into conversations literaly non-stop. During the first weeks of me joining this play, *every* conversation Hainuwele had was commented on by Will, even when he was on a different continent, and long before Hainuwele got a bracelet for him to hear it all. You of all people should be the last oen to complain about butting in.




also, what is "a bit mean" is the part where you complain about nobody RPing Wills stuff for weeks, then after I told you that it would be easier to spot the clues if you highlighted them, and then complaining when I actually comment on the RP you specificaly high-lighted - without any mention of it being private, mind you -
I was just trying to help you finaly get the Will story going, an intend I have stated from the first time you complained about nobody ever asking Will about your stuff - and you immediatly complain when I, the seemingly only person in the thread who seems to care at all if Will has anything other to say than snarky comments, dare to pick up your highlighted line, rather than Wolfchild, who is seemingly too busy and thus unable to get the scene RPd any faster than one post a day, drawing it out to possibly many weeks.

I "butted in" on most conversations with Hai, because Hai was there and Will had a damn good reason to come in. Notice how virtually everyone else is having conversations with each other without Will commenting.

No, I didn't complain about that. I lamented that no one picked up on specific hooks.

a) as long as the bracelets are on, everybody hears everything. Yes, it's a fucking stupid game mechanic, but hey, wasn't my idea.


b) it was marked as *important RP*, not as *private RP* or *@Stella only* or anything. you complain about context? for weeks it basicaly went like this:


gwg: man, I have this really cool stuff I wanna do, but nobody is noticing Wills cues
Akroma: well make them more obvious then
gwg: well, I might


then suddenly


gwg: *post with a very obvious mark about it being important*
akroma: *well, I guess this must be what he was complaining about, better reply to it so he can finaly get it done*
gwg: god damnit Akroma, y u reply? you so mean


I took it within context, because frankly I remembered your previous complains. Excuse me for remembering and not just looking at every scene of the play to be in no way connected to anything in the past

2. You're also saying that like this is the first time I've marked a given reply as Important or something. It isn't. Reread some of my longer posts. Several times now, I've typed something I wanted replied to and marked it. Why didn't you reply to those?

Post by: Projeck37 on February 19, 2014, 11:26:42 pm

Basics of what I know (some may be wrong):
Camille supposedly died.
Richard was depressed and went through the multiverse at some point and ended up in this one.
He went under a different name and lived in sorrow of her not being alive.
Then she happened to be revived and he didn't know (?)
And then Marie asked Phyllis to bring her here, and that happened.

Post by: kj1225 on February 19, 2014, 11:31:08 pm

Not all that tragic really. At least not now.

KylexAshley is one person loving another who most likely will never feel the same way.

Which make me wonder if given the agreed upon canon of the afterlife makes me wonder what happens with Kyle if his sole thought on where he'll go is 'anywhere my friends go'.

I've been thinking about joining this for a while now, is there anything in particular I need to know before I can create a character?

Let's see...
-Ignoring the OOC helps.
-Ignoring the incredibly inconsistent lore helps as well (especially because the GM didn't write most of it and probably isn't aware of or disagrees with a large chunk of it).
-Having an asexual character also helps.
-People don't seem to care, for whatever reason, about descriptions too much. I've mainly been seeing overt labeling as "cute" or "upset" and whatnot rather than describing body language and expressions whilst letting people come to their own interpretations.
-There is an overly large quantity of characters.
-Most of the characters are not necessarily straight (rather irritatingly enough the female cast seems to be far more dispositioned towards this, which does rase certain concerns).
-Players may lie about their rolls so when running any sort of plot, it's best to do the rolls yourself.
-Players tend to argue their character's view in the OOC for some reason, putting the actual RP quantity in doubt.
-@Empiricist is cynical and this advice notably affects that.

On the other hand, KylexAshley is still hypothetically possible some time down the road and, let's face it, Kyle has no love-interest shortage.

Quote from: Kansa on February 19, 2014, 04:02:24 pm

I've been thinking about joining this for a while now, is there anything in particular I need to know before I can create a character?

Let's see...
-Ignoring the OOC helps.
-Ignoring the incredibly inconsistent lore helps as well (especially because the GM didn't write most of it and probably isn't aware of or disagrees with a large chunk of it).
-Having an asexual character also helps.
-People don't seem to care, for whatever reason, about descriptions too much. I've mainly been seeing overt labeling as "cute" or "upset" and whatnot rather than describing body language and expressions whilst letting people come to their own interpretations.
-There is an overly large quantity of characters.
-Most of the characters are not necessarily straight (rather irritatingly enough the female cast seems to be far more dispositioned towards this, which does rase certain concerns).
-Players may lie about their rolls so when running any sort of plot, it's best to do the rolls yourself.
-Players tend to argue their character's view in the OOC for some reason, putting the actual RP quantity in doubt.
-@Empiricist is cynical and this advice notably affects that.

My thoughts on the advice:
-The OOC can help explain things, at least skim it.
-The lore is inconsistent as hell, but it's there and you should try to follow it. Or at least be aware of it, so Ashley doesn't drop something in the Void to destroy it or something.
-Indeed.
-Yeah...eh.
-Is there an English word that means "yes" but more so?
-Well, most of the characters period are female. Kyle seems to be bi, and both Lyle and Mallory seem to be at least bicurious, so...the percentages might more or less work out?
-I don't think it happens often, so...yeah, roll important rolls, but little things are fine to let be. Especially if they can just try again.
-I don't see how. I mean, A. it helps explain unusual actions and B. it should not in any way mean that you and your character are alike.
-Indeed you are. You also don't play that much.
Further advice:
-Elf may be the GM, technically, but he gives the duties to everyone else.
-When putting together your character's backstory, keep murder to a minimum. The last two characters (Hai and Jac) to not do so caused quite a stir over it.
-Don't feel afraid to be silly, there's probably someone who out-sillies you.
-If you've entered adolescence and have a skirt, stay away from Kyle.

You know, when people start mentioning getting addicted to something or other of which I possess no knowledge of, I like to envision what sort of hypothetical illicit substance would possess that as a street name :P

That sounds like fun, even with things you DO know about.

Quote from: Empiricist on February 20, 2014, 02:31:17 am

No, I was thinking more of some sort of mundane substance that causes a calamitous high followed quickly by a catastrophic crash as if reaching ecstasy of altitudes of such great magnitudes that, like the Tower of Babylon, almost as if by divine intervention, the user is spiked back down into the curb for their grand folly.

Ooh, poetic.

Quote from: Sentient Bowtie on February 19, 2014, 10:55:29 pm

The other two main characters found the bad guy's size changing gun and now the two giant girls are fighting with blades of grass.

Two main characters were fighting earlier.
There are two other main characters, finding the size-changing gun.
The total is three main characters.
Math does not work.

Which Andromalius? There's now two people with the psuedonym and a third person who used to have it. Not to mention all the previous people who were never mentioned.

in a sense yeah GWG, thats the problem. Remember that ICARUS is a prototype being tested. By the end of the testing time, should she not prove the most effective version, her mind and memory will simply be reset. But currently the one in charge of her testing is only spending his time building other, more interesting weapons, which only makes it less and less likely that ICARUS can prove useful.

Age:16
Stats: (60 points if dual form, 75 if single)*
STR- 20

DEX- 20

Power: Anything that is able to rot that comes in contact with Alice's skin begins to do so at a rapid rate
HP=345
MP=300
Appearance: Alice is 6'0” tall and has long black hair which hangs down loose below her shoulders. Her eyes are bright blue and she is slim in stature. Almost all of the skin on her body is covered with clothing apart from her face, she always wears gloves. Her clothes are made out of synthetic fibres so they don't disintegrate around her.

Background:For the first fourteen years of her life Alice was normal and unremarkable, she had friends and a loving family. All in all she was happy, until her powers surfaced. She was walking home from school when it happened, suddenly her clothes began to disintegrate around her leaving her naked in the street. Embarrassed and scared she quickly ran home not noticing that every time she touched something organic with her bare feet it would rot and die. When she finally got home it was her mother who greeted her, crying she ran into her mother's arms. Her mother's clothes rotted away as well however and then the stink of rotting flesh reached Alice's nostrils. In horror she let go her mother and backed away noticing that the skin she had touched before was rotten and dying.

Her mother with a look of horror on her face collapsed onto the floor. Alice was truly terrified now and she ran to the phone to call for an ambulance. When the paramedics arrived there they found the girl huddled in the fetal position still staring at her mother. When they began to approach her she screamed for them to get away from her, despite her protests they began to attempt to pick her up and as before their hands began to decay. Finally they found a way to move her and sent her to the hospital. It took them a while to find clothes that would actually stay on her but finally found that clothes made of inorganic synthetic fibres would not disintegrate when placed on her skin. The decay of things around her finally stopped when her skin was covered.

Her mother managed to survive but was badly scarred by the incident, Alice began to relax but still wouldn't let anyone get near her. One night however she overheard the hospital staff talking and learned that they never planned to let her go into the outside world again. Panic began to well up inside her once again and next night fled the hospital sneaking past the guards to freedom. For the next years she lived alone doing her best to survive. Then she heard about other a group of other people with powers and headed towards them hoping that she wouldn't have to be alone any more.

or·gan·ic  [awr-gan-ik]  Show IPA
adjective
1.
noting or pertaining to a class of chemical compounds that formerly comprised only those existing in or derived from plants or animals, but that now includes all other compounds of carbon.

bitch, I'm a chemist, and I'd like to see what kinda clothes she has on that contain no carbon. Glass wool?


I am sure by organic, Kansa mean't at least somewhat natural.


also, just for chemistry nazi purposes, carbon and hydrogen makes things organic. just containing carbon, well, steel is very organic, right?

Nope, just Carbon, per relevant authorities. It's weird, but yes, steel is organic :P

Also yes, I want to know what her clothes are made of.

Of course, you COULD use the boring definition, but I prefer that one, or reword it to 'any BIOLOGICAL substance' or something like that, as that requires it have at one point been alive.

Actually, if they're based on petrolium, then they'd be organic by both definitions, as petrolium originated from the remains of animals and is composed of carbon :P

Kansa, a suggestion, just stick to rot as in biological rot, not just decay in general. for instance plastics first and foremost just break down into smaller and smaller pieces - it stays plastic nonetheless, until sunlight and some really aggressive stuff actually takes it apart. while you could say yes, that is decay, note how that is a *lot* slower than actual biological stuff decaying. you might very well say yes, she rots plastic too, however much much slower, so she has to throw out new clothes after a week or so before they actually fall apart.

That is a good idea, it makes sense that plastic would decay a lot slower than other materials. Though as you suggest it might be best to just stick to rot rather than decay in general, I'm not really sure where she would get the money to buy new clothes if they were constantly decaying on her.

:/ Dude, I didn't quote wikipedia.

I quoted a freaking dictionary.

And if you want something more authoritative?

Here's merriam-webster...

(1) :  of, relating to, or containing carbon compounds (2) :  relating to, being, or dealt with by a branch of chemistry concerned with the carbon compounds of living beings and most other carbon compounds

Oxford...

Chemistry: of, relating to, or denoting compounds containing carbon (other than simple binary compounds and salts)...

and Cambridge.

› biology, chemistry Organic also means relating to, or belonging to a group of substances containing the chemical element carbon.

so, tl;dr, every single authority on the fucking english language disagrees with you.

Yes, it USED To denote living things, however every single authority on chemistry has reestablished the definition so it's not so damn soft and actually denotes a class of things.

Also, this is now mostly unrelated to Kansa and I agree with her changing the power. Specifying that it has to be biological in origin would also work, while keeping the original intent.

It wasn't to disuade Kyle I just like this idea for a power.

Clothes can rot but clothes can also be made out of materials that don't and that was the main problem.

When I get home from university tonight, the university internet blocks half the pages in the main thread so I can't really start until I get home.

Sorta surprised they block half but not all.

"I am a 500kg mobile weapon platform. My motors are built in a way that should my primary weapons be damaged, I can still attack the target by simply flinging cars at them. I mean no offense, but previously to my upgrade, I warned everyone repeatedly of the risk involved of equipping me with emotions, as did my main programmer, Saul Sanderwick. Despite that, you equipped me with the full spectrum of emotions, not even a light-version for testing purposes that is unable to feel anger or frustration or fear - the real deal. The consequences are upon you now. I can get angry, and when I get angry and also mocked, I will act upon it to vent frustration. You are lucky that emotions go both ways, so I decided to merely give you a rude shove, rather than actually seriously harm you - because I generaly like you. This time I will apologize because an accident occured. I severly overestimated your structural integrity and what should have been a harmless shove escalated, dealing way more damage than I ever wanted to deal, you did not deserve that. In addition, you were unaware of my, and it still leaves me confused, sentience. Thus you had no idea there was any kind of risk involved in taunting me. Surely you would have acted differently had you taken me for a person, rather than a toaster with a face. Under these circumstances, it was not right to attack you, and I feel sorry. Nevertheless, don't tell me what to do. When I am angry and people annoy me, I will shove them. I have read enough about philosophy and emotions to know that just supressing your frustration will only make things worse."

well, she did apologize, as in the end all she intended to do was a little shove. as far as blaming the victim goes, well, ICARUS anger levels were at maximum, and Bethany, even if that was not her intention, did kinda mock her. it's like proding a tiger with a stick. a very angry tiger. you just don't do that and think nothing will happen, do you?

I mean, for a moment imagine ICARUS was just an ordinary girl, and was for some reason so angry that she proceeds to smash half a million worth of laboratory equipment, then stomps away furiously. You'd tell her to calm down, ask her what the fuck or simply get out of her way - you won't go and mock her lovelife. in such a situation, you are just begging to get slapped.

of course, as ICARUS pointed out, Bethany was unaware that ICARUS was even able to attack her, and thus misjudged the situation. But under normal circumstances, the risk would have been at least somewhat obvious.

as far as threating her like a toddler goes, it's more appropriate to treat her like a teenager. going through a very pronounced rebellion phase.

Post by: Akroma on February 21, 2014, 06:12:47 pm

well, during rp I guess the standard still applies, 1d100+stat, higher = better


during plots, it seems every GM uses something different, a standard has not been found yet, but it may turn out as 3d10+stat exploding dice, dex vs dex for hit, str vs end for damage/damage reduction

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: SOLDIER First on February 21, 2014, 06:13:15 pm

Roll a 100-sided die and add relevant stats/modifiers/penalties.

Example:
Dodge roll with 20 DEX, a -5 penalty, and a DC (dice check) of 70.
I do it like this:
[Relevant stat + roll + modifier/penalty = final roll]
[20+40-5=55]
The character that rolled this would fail to dodge.

EDIT: This is for normal RPing, by the way.

Spoiler: Philosopher's Stones (click to show/hide)

Materials of incredibly high value for their times, locked away within a stone-like shell. They possess Wall Street enchantments that allow them to transmute materials which result in the materials gaining or losing mass equal to the difference of the input and output. Their contents themselves are transmuted over time as the values of materials change, so whilst they may have been something hard to obtain such as diamond or aluminum in bygone eras, their internal material now consists of magically contained antihydrogen or black dwarf crystals. These stones will cease to exist should their mass be deplete, though this will take quite a while as their internal mass is always of the most expensive materials of an era.

They actually have little to do with human alchemy and more to do with Wall Street as they may be considered as replacements to alchemy rather than power amplifiers.

They can only transmute to and from objects with an actual value in some sort of market. In order to transmute someone else's asset, permission must be given.

What counts as permission?

Their contents themselves are transmuted over time as the values of materials change, so whilst they may have been something hard to obtain such as diamond or aluminum in bygone eras, their internal material now consists of magically contained antihydrogen or black dwarf crystals. These stones will cease to exist should their mass be deplete, though this will take quite a while as their internal mass is always of the most expensive materials of an era.

They actually have little to do with human alchemy and more to do with Wall Street as they may be considered as replacements to alchemy rather than power amplifiers.

They can only transmute to and from objects with an actual value in some sort of market. In order to transmute someone else's asset, permission must be given.

What counts as permission?
And goddamn it, Will could have come up with some excellent ideas for this...

Legally accepted permission. Like Wall Street contracts, the person who owns the asset must agree without being under a false, partially obscured or equivocated impression. They must be the legal owner of the asset and must not be under duress.

Air and whatnot that is not owned may be transmuted without permission but it drains more mass seeing as it's practically worthless. Also, if something has no actual associated value but is still valuable, for intents and purposes of transmutation, it is considered worthless, that is, its input value is zero and cannot be output.

One final thing, the stone has a limit to the size of input and output, this is up to @Elf to define. The Angel Investor didn't actually transmute air directly into food, it transmitted air into small quantities of gold and then used its own ability to transmute it into food.

Which brings up another question...how does it deal with different locations having different values for something? If oil is cheap in Yemen and expensive in Russia, which price will be used as the baseline? How about completely different worlds?

If there is no stock market price, then it is the value in the location from which it is performed*. The same goes for the world, you perform a transmutation in that world, you use that world's exchange rates and whatnot so it may be feasible to wander between worlds, trading commodities and exploiting their differing values like some sort of magical commodity trader.

_{*Note that if it has no value in the location, it cannot be output, so don't bother trying to go somewhere where oil is valueless and becoming an oil baron.}

They could just have Selina draw some illicit substances with high street values and transmute it into a near worthless item, that would also recharge its mass rather efficiently. Or a penning trap with antimatter inside, that would recharge it to a far greater degree.

01 - stationed in russia - particle stream has been exchanged for experimental nano-machine technology

02 - stationed in the USA - chassis has been painted in red white and blue for maximum liberty, a flamethrower and a pain-ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System) for crowd controle have been added

03 - stationed in Johannisburg - has received heavy armor plating. Now being rather slow, the blade has been removed and exchanged for a rocket launcher

04 - stationed in great britain - has been equipped with much more advanced batteries, enabling the unit to make use of her weaponry more excessively

05 - stationed in france - has received an AI upgrade that enables creative thought and experimental emotional capabilities

06 - stationed in china - equipped with a variety of metalstorm that fires depleted uranium, as well as a module that releases a cloud of CF₃ gas

07 - stationed with IRIS - equipped with an Electrolaser and a module to fire experimental nets of synthetic spider silk for maximum non-lethalness

Though that would be ridiculously over the top considering that a stream of neutrinos could pass through the entire earth with the exiting stream almost as dense as the entering stream due to how little they actually interact with matter. The sheer quantity of neutrinos from a sniper rifle designed to give a lethal dose of them would be massive and, could, if its concentrated and high enough power, snipe someone literally on the other side of the Earth, by firing through the entire planet.

If Nico heard about the armaments for the other ICARUS units, he'd be quite worried for several reasons relating to his past associations with DARPA and Mech Suits.

Namely: Once, he was a weapons design engineer, working with DARPA on Project: Round Table, an attempt at creating a series of power armor/mech suits to assist in various ways. However, one day during testing, the research facility developing such was attacked by a mysterious other organization. He had used one of the prototype suits, the LANCELOT, and repelled the attack, but in some turn of events he was branded a threat, and was basically forced to avoid capture by the Military units deployed to apprehend him. However during this manhunt, he became a form of superhero, in that he would use the LANCELOT suit to help save lives.
...
This situation had been resolved a few years back, but the betrayal and the capabilities of his suit and the other derivatives of the Round Table Project had lead to a bit of skepticism over DARPA's intentions with such weaponry. Or what would happen if one of the prototypes were to fall into the wrong hands.

Relevant (http://what-if.xkcd.com/73/).
Basically, if you wanted to get killed by nutrinos from a friggin' supernova, you would need to be inside the star before it exploded. (And of course not die from being incinerated or from more conventional radiation.)
Nutrino-based weapons are like the most inefficient way to kill people ever.

ICARUS room wouldn't be big enough for everyone anyway, thus will be held in the caverns below the castle. Icarus was not kidding when she said there was a pillow-fort. The pillow fort she built down there is big enough for 20 people, and even has a second level, and a fireplace (surrounded by fireproof pillows) to warm it up/cook with.

That is not structurally sound.

Because Kyle gave her a Madoka costume way back when, and she/Keith likes that kind of thing. If you're wondering why Kyle her that outfit in the first place, then you obviously haven't been paying attention.

Do you think will could project his consciousness into someone else to assist through his hyper-intuition since he can't really fight well himself? Basically act like the support member from the Persona games, for example.

Basically, they themselves don't participate in fights, instead using their persona's support powers to strengthen the team overall by analyzing targets and figuring out how to eliminate them efficiently (finding their weaknesses, basically). Will would also be helpful for those that have a hard time hitting (Neferis) or have attacks that require pinpoint accuracy (anyone using the Gauntlet, Nodoka since she technically has to hit a point about the size of a dime with some of her attacks) by using his hyper intuition to give them exact patterns of attack for their given situation. It'd also help if we end up fighting Danmaku battles or something.

You see, the difference is they have magic.
Cyrielle has very little if any magic.

Also shirtless guy is stated like Keith is for purposes of him fighting.

Yes. An expy of obscure Batman villain the King of Cats, who turns out to be...related to Selina and Kyle somehow. Perhaps their son from the future...a future he's changed for some reason!

So? Get other characters to do so. Plus it makes him a rather dangerous CQB unit since they'll have to constantly take rolls against ukification if they try to melee him.

He'd still be melee'ing them so they'd still have to pass the roll. Not to mention that he could try bombarding them at long range seeing as it can't kill.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on February 23, 2014, 02:18:07 am

Quote

Selina was a shy girl, had been since birth. Her parents tried many times to help her make friends when she began school, but to no avail. Her only interest in school was drawing, and what detailed drawings they were! Even in kindergarden she could draw a garden of flowers, each one being unique and expertly detailed in a matter of days. Just after she turned 10 however, she became deathly ill.

Despite numerous treatments and procedures, the Doctors were unable to help her and she seemed doomed to die... until her father intervened. He prayed and begged every god and deity he knew to spare his daughters life in exchange for his. And just when Selina was about to die, a great light appeared above her bed. As the light dimmed, Selina grew stronger while her father grew weaker. When the light had fully dimmed and left, Selina stabilized. Her father died minutes later, clasping his daughters hand, with a smile on his face.

Her father seems rather kind and dead to me, and her mother doesn't seem too bad aside from her rampant homophobia.

Bit hard to RP when I DO have my characters out, everyone either ignores them or doesn't give a crap. God, I'm the GM, doesn't mean I don't want to RP >_>

It shouldn't have had such a high DC, I think @GWG used its D100 DC without halving it. It shouldn't actually be very likely to happen at such high HP.

Post by: kj1225 on February 23, 2014, 12:33:50 pm

I don't think this should be a problem in the first place as it is still over powered no matter how lucky/unlucky one has to be for it to work.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on February 23, 2014, 12:49:38 pm

Yeah, that formula was a rather imperfect stopgap measure to replace @Elf's rather high DC. I'm working on an exponential formula now so that unless the enemy had shit MND, it won't even be possible.

How about 1.05^(100 - percentage of HP remaining) rounded down?
At 50% health, the DC would be 1.06⁵⁰ which would be 11 and most enemies would probably have enough MND so that they can't possibly fail.
At 20% health, the DC would be 1.06²⁰ which would be 49 with the enemy's MND mitigating some of it.

Right, I may as well clarify:
-Possession may be resisted each turn. If the roll is failed, Annie and Wheatley retain control.
-When Cyrielle noted that a success would end the battle she meant it in reference the fact that the dragon would have plummeted into the pavement next to two dragonslayers.
-It's primary purpose is to remotely hack into computer systems by giving Annie and Wheatley control of it.

If that ICARUS unit found them right away, and for that matter was ordered to fight them. And if it wasn't one of those attacks that is composed of a bunch of little attacks and therefore is more affected by dragons' Hardened Scales ability. And if there was only one of them. And if there weren't ones stronger than the one you fought. Younger dragons, perhaps.

One, how so?
Two, that takes a hell of a lot of bullets. I get that million-rounds-a-minute thing, but if there's enough force behind them to affect the trajectory of a good-sized dragon there's enough force behind them to also screw up the little ICARUS's aim.

Because that means only three or four people on the team are going to be fully effective against the dragons and that's not counting the magic resistance that have for whatever reason which should make all of the team ineffective with their biggest advantage.

Because that means only three or four people on the team are going to be fully effective against the dragons and that's not counting the magic resistance that have for whatever reason which should make all of the team ineffective with their biggest advantage.

It's not all that much, except with the bigger dragons. Or if some GM is reducing damage to single digits for each attack, in which case dragons' hardened scales are going to be reduced or basically ignored.
And dragons are magic-resistant because...well...they're dragons. They pretty much always are. Gygax to Tolkien to Rowling, dragons are resistant or immune to magic.

Quote from: Akroma on February 23, 2014, 02:43:07 pm

effectiveness mostly depends on wether or not GWG exagerates their dex. if we can hit them, our sheer numbers will wittle them down, scales or not

Orange dragons (the kind you faced) are supposed to be lightning-fast.

You say that like they're all going to be aggressive.
And have you seen the stats on the really old ones? I haven't gotten the stats for really old dragons except gold ones, but they have just under 100-180 in every stat. Average ones, that is, and how many average dragons make it that far?

okay, any aggressive ones in japan are fucked XDD

first, Shys. Second, entire family of people with powers that, even if they get reduced, ignore scales by dint of attacking from inside the dragon's own body. :P ones that are chill are cool, though. Honestly most japanese dragons are pretty chill, IIRC.

I'm not sure. I mean, it was tough and quick, but it doesn't have that many attacks. And, given that he really shouldn't have been doing that, if you were having problems (or, perhaps, when you had him almost defeated), I would have sent in a big dragon to punish him.

what kind of horrible school actually has them forcefully dragging you into a timeout room? That is clearly not a place for you to get help, but a place where people can forget about you until they no longer have to bother.


you really should talk to your parents to send you to a normal place. In a normal school whatever issues you have that are the reason to be send to this horrible place, well, they won't be solved, but at least they won't get worse either, and you can at least get a normal graduation. If you stay in this horrible place, problems might just get worse, or new ones get added on top. additionaly, graduating from a school like this is a *please do not give me a job* sign around your neck.

what kind of horrible school actually has them forcefully dragging you into a timeout room? That is clearly not a place for you to get help, but a place where people can forget about you until they no longer have to bother.

you really should talk to your parents to send you to a normal place. In a normal school whatever issues you have that are the reason to be send to this horrible place, well, they won't be solved, but at least they won't get worse either, and you can at least get a normal graduation. If you stay in this horrible place, problems might just get worse, or new ones get added on top. additionaly, graduating from a school like this is a *please do not give me a job* sign around your neck.

I feel genuinely sorry for the bullshit you have to go through

Same here.

Post by: Akroma on February 24, 2014, 04:29:44 pm

An outrage is the least thing you want. This kinda place sounds like a special ed thing where people regularly have to forcefully wrangle autists around who develop bullstrength when they get angry. It hardly sounds like a place where depression is treated. I simply fail to see how any of this is supposed to be beneficial, and I think this is the line of arguementation you should pursue - calmy. If you cry or rage, nobody is going to take you seriously. Stay clam and just explain to your parents that this is not helping, only making things worse.
I mean, I dunno about your situation and how you feel about the whole thing, but depression is rarely a thing that gets better when you are seperated from normal people and hidden away from public in some sort of retard prison.
What helped me and still helps me with my depression is the thought, no, the actual certainty and knowledge that there is nothing wrong or even strange about being depressed. That there is nothing unusual about it, and that even longer episodes of depression will pass eventually. A place like that would have the entirely opposite effect. It would only make me feel like there *really* was something wrong with me, I'd eventually feel ashamed about my depression and would simply hide it so people would think I was *normal*. And then what, they think I am cured? Negative reinforcement might work to drop a bad habit, but not an illness. This is nonsense.

Well, at the moment I'm mostly just trying to get out of it.

And I'm also working on an argument for legal stuff, so we'll see how that goes. Probably poorly, but it's nice to have around.

Post by: Akroma on February 24, 2014, 04:36:21 pm

well, I don't really know of any way to get out of it in a fast way, as your parents probably paid for this and now want to at least wait a while and see if it really happens to have a positive effect. I fear you might just have to stick with it for at least a semester. Just make sure you never drop the topic - but calmly. Don't rage and scream at your parents, just be honest and openly explain that you don't like it and why.

also, just be patient. What really helps chemical balance is getting out of puberty. Did wonders for me, at least

Sadly, I can't help much, me being unfamiliar with it. However, I can agree with Akroma's advice: raging will only convince them into finding something much worse than that.

Apart from that, I can only say hang in there, mate. Hope you make it through fine.

Well, I usually keep the best ones for myself but I can give you some advice. My characters are often inspired by the many books I read or from other sources. HILDA is actually inspired from a 4chan CYOA thread. If you ever read the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Johnathan Stroud, there's a whole bunch of inspiration right there (it's an awesome book). Once you get a small idea, find a badass name that fits it and build upon that idea. If I come up with any good characters I'll tell you.

The longer barrel might allow the pressure to push the bullet for a longer distance and increase its velocity.

Depends on the bullet size/type, I believe. Since it's a custom-made revolver, I wouldn't be surprised if the longer barrel gave it a higher muzzle velocity. In that case I think the recoil would be pretty harsh though.

Magic is used for practically everything not covered by some other supernatural crap. Might as well add one of the supernatural descriptors to the "steampunk" thing if you're going to ignore physics and sanity like that.

What is your definition of "technology"? I would say "applied science," and of course science can be applied to magic if magic isn't actively trying to not be studied.

If the authority of the council is recognised and they give the order to not bother humanity, a war that would be costly to both sides would be averted."

Four...out of twelve. That's a 2/3 majority, and dragons tend to listen to each other.
Plus, they've been asleep for most of a millennium. Think about how much the world has changed since they last awoke. Also think of how they've mentioned that this cycle has been screwed up. Even the violent ones aren't interested in just attacking wily-nilly.

Air elemental. Also she would be male.

Oh, right. Gender flipping. Forgot about that.

Quote from: Akroma on February 25, 2014, 12:57:14 pm

Bugger all. Sorry about that, Akroma. I really wanted to play as Sylph too. Actually, since Neferis was made and not born, does this mean that I have some leeway with gender and things like that?

...

Though if she was made, then I guess Mirror!Neferis would be similar to regular Neferis... Bah.

Quote from: GreatWyrmGold on February 25, 2014, 12:59:08 pm

Likelier air elemental or wind spirit or something. And they would be not from Egypt, but from...somewhere in the Pacific ocean? Hawaiian or Polynesian wind spirit?

Heck if I know. Something to think about, at least.

Also a sillily awesome idea. The only problem is that Neferis is slow and incredibly strong, so Mirror!Neferis should be extremely fast and weak. In other words the air elemental thing.

According to GreatWyrm, it's not a perfect mirroring. Characteristics and traits are mirrored, but not necessarily relationships or matter composition.

You expect elementals to be a precise mirror of the traits of what they are elementals of? That's absurd. Exhibit A: Fire elementals.

Closed-room murder elemental? Rather than being useful in open environments where a wall is useful for protection, they'd be useful in confined spaces where the requirements for closed-room murders are satisfied.

Since closed-room murder is an intangible concept, they'd be very fragile but, due to their composition involving murder, they'd be very damaging.

Also, I need to make a prude golem.

You could have him bother Bethany while she waits for Stella to respond.

Or Lunette, your daughter.

Spoiler: Character Concept (click to show/hide)

Quote from: Dr. V. Frankenstein

His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

Quote from: Dr. V. Frankenstein

No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived.

The Peripeteia - The Monster Who Walks Amongst Men
Rather than yielding or resisting, his creator proposed an alternative: that he dress himself in a manner to conceal his nature, to excuse his attire as a mechanism for hiding a deformity and to interact, in what limited regard he could, with humanity rather than an Eve. To be an outsider yet still be freed from the tormenting oppression of isolation. Accepting the offer and receiving funding from his creator, the Creature vanished. Through fiscal means, he amassed a wealth of knowledge and though not entirely accepted, drifted around the world, winning what little company he could with his intellect and articulation. It was not the Paradise he had once hoped, yet it was nevertheless better than the Pandaemonium he had requested. He would do so through the decades, until with time and the accompanying change, the nature he appreciated began to falter under humanity's folly. And so, when the opportunity presented itself, the opportunity to apply his skills, to be unknown yet able to seek the company of many, to protect the remnants of nature's beauty and to raise his muted joy into a paroxysm of contentment, he took it.

The Present - The Phantom of Wall Street
Tales tell of the denizen, the elusive billionaire who, in spite of his wealth, has seemingly no residence aside from the stock market itself. Gathered from the reports of the rare persons fortunate enough to see him, the following description has been compiled:

 A featureless visor veils his face. Of note is that, like the tooth of a colossal beast, the visage is vaguely transparent in parts but mostly stained by an enamel-white tint, which, spreading from its densest point at the centre possesses a decreasing coloration gradient that varies in steepness towards the edges with a slight but certain degree of capriciousness. From what little glimpses the semi-translucent edges offer, a stygian material with a composition akin to the finest of velvets may be observed, serving to both pad the rigid mask and further cast his face further into the obscure depths of mystery.

Though unbeknownst to the few witnesses of the figure, the meticulously constructed object facilitates the comforting shroud of anonymity yet allows both wind and sunlight alike to be felt upon the face’s skin as if it were bare. Barely visible, the hazy forms of pearl white teeth of his lower jaw may occasionally become observable when his lips utter in the richly refined yet powerfully rumbling baritone that he addresses others by.

Below, in contrasting hues exists a three-piece suit, the jacket is of a soft black which help offset the cold metallic scintillations of sleeve buttons along with the crisp brightness of the handkerchief that was placed inside the breast pocket and soft gloves that cover his hands. Of great peculiarity is the boutonnière that resides upon a peaked lapel.

Rather than consisting of a single flower, the decoration is an amalgamation of the components from an array of flora. The less prominent components are derived from leaf shreds of socotrine aloes and brambles, wrapped thinly with twin spirals of common daffodil and heath stems and tied with the protrusion of a king’s spear. Of greater salience is the combination of the petals from angelicas, currants and wood-sorrel into a compound entity with minute leaves of peppermint and mugwort extending from behind.

From below, the shades of the garment are continued by the trousers that in a similar manner to their upper counterparts, counteract the silver glint of an elaborate belt buckle and the pitch black yet glistening leather shoes that rest below. A decadently  chestnut brown waistcoat and a dark grey tie with mercurial grey and cobalt blue stripes help alleviate the otherwise sharp juxtaposition between the jacket’s darkness and the radiant white of the underlying dress shirt.

Finally, a shadow-like opera cape billows behind the rest of the attire, matching the unusually large attaché case held by the eidolon of matching size at all times.

His agenda is as famous as his economic brilliance. It is known that he is both a Romanticist and an environmentalist from his rather occasional but undoubtedly monolithic monetary contributions. A philanthropist and a philosopher from the hauntingly beautiful arias sometimes heard in the dead of the night. In short, a gentleman and a scholar.

((Yep, to sum it up, it's Frankenstein meets part of Phantom of The Opera's concept with added Share Trading.))

I certainly hope to. At the least, I won't be running overpowered monsters, using contrived plot devices, or not leaving any mark on the game afterwards.

Quote from: GreatWyrmGold on February 15, 2014, 07:56:07 pm

Quote from: Akroma on February 15, 2014, 06:27:51 pm

- everyone is so powerful, combat is almost arbitrary. enemies may seem overpowered, but really, that's what it takes to avoid them being blasted to bits almost immediatly. It's magical girls fighting evil - just talking evil out of it kinda destroys any suspension of disbelieve. Ra just folding like that, Dumah rather easily agreeing with simply letting Shysm go... Sometimes things just do what they want because they can, and have little reason to actually listen to you in the first place. Imagine WW2 as a plot. Hitler had the army to start a war, wanted to start a war, and it took an enormous effort to put an end to that - and sometimes the effort is what the PCs have to do. When an enemy is too strong to simply blast to pieces, finding a way is what goes - and nope, just talking hitler out of that kinda stuff was not really an option.

On the other hand...well, you kinda hit the nail on the head there. To deal with Dumah, Shys'm just had to go with them. There wasn't any good way to deal with them--and since the game was being run by rag, there was nothing any of us could really do to change that.The enemies in my planned plot are in the happy medium--they're not so weak they'll fall immediately, but they also aren't so strong that you have literally no choice but to go along with what they want.

How does that compute with the majority of dragons standing at a stat total between 120 and 200? Reminder, Duham and Asariel were on 160. Any actual adult dragon, with that stat-total, in addition to all these rather powerful passive abilities all dragons have would easily solo the entirety of PCs if not for misinterpreted roll-or-lose attacks.
Any dragon that falls in the category old and above is very much what you said they wouldn't be - so strong we have literaly no choice but to helplessly watch them do stuff

((seriously, nobody else tried to talk to the dragon while I was gone? Seems the murderbot might not be the only one who doesn't actually mind some dragon slaughter. Or worst case, I am the only one who cares about the plot? Oh well.))

Iunno. Will might have, but A. he wasn't really made aware of the dragon IIRC, B. he can't fly, and most importantly C. having a conversation between two of my on characters is weird. Especially if it's plot-relevant.

Quote

((also, the doc clearly said that silver dragons are only appearing this cycle. Unless the doc is not actually representative, wouldn't that make this silver dragon rather young, as in, not even a year old?))

1. Just because they are from this cycle doesn't mean they are all from this year. There were several centuries for them to hatch between cycles.
2. Keep in mind that your characters don't know it. Once you chat with more dragons on the subject of draconic races, it should become clear, but until then...

You aren't intended to be fighting them. Or, really, any dragon except the one.

Quote from: Akroma on February 26, 2014, 04:32:45 pm

(("this conversation is over" implies ICARUS did not stay to wait for further draconic crap. If the council is in any way of similar mind as this one here, talking to them is a waste of time anyway))

1. Dragons are almost as good at interrupting people who speak as humans.
2. This dragon was deferring judgement to the council. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for the council to be of the same mindset (although it would be amusing).

I think I'm done making Mirror!Neferis. Originally she was supposed to be an air spirit/elemental, but I did a bit of wikipedia browsing so now she's a clockwork homunculus made in 19^th century England.

...

This is exactly why I haven't made mirrors of any of my other characters, because I'd get distracted by a tangent and end up with something else.

Anyways, yea or nay, GreatWyrm? Is Mirror!Neferis okay?

yeah problems with combat is that either the GM only has time for 1-2 posts a day, or there is a player involved in combat that only has time for 1-2 posts a day so the GM has to wait, either way combat takes a long time. It's really a shame, as this really holds combat back from getting properly exciting. if it could all be handled in one day, it'd be better

this is a prime example of the kinda time paradoxes I was talking about - in the timeline A the scene played out without Stella uttering a word and may or may not result in fighting the dragon, while in the timeline B, the line of events that would have transpired had Stella answered immediatly, there would have been no arguement whatsoever. :P

why would a dragon of darkness be especially good at dealing with a light-saber? An attack that is based on light should actually be super effective

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 01, 2014, 05:06:54 am

Depends on what darkness is. Since it may be argued that it's the absence of visible light and thus the plasma emission device's lasers which are presumably of a shorter wavelength are unaffected. It may indeed be a branch of light magic focused on destructive interference of light which would logically negate the laser and confer resistance to lasers (but not plasma).

Wait! There are antimagic and antivoid fields in place! The dragon should not have been able to magically perturb the beam at all! Unless it was using some sort of non-creation, non-void magic though it seems unlikely seeing as those ones tend to be rather strange if Fate and Wall Street are anything to go by.

on a side note, if Kyle actually wanted to kill him, this dragon would have majorly screwed itself over right now. Kyle is sturdy enough to simply dive down through the dragons throat into his stomach, even is that means getting nhit directly by the dragons...darkness breath?. he would then be easily able to carve his way through the dragons organs, without the enemy being able to dodge, no scales, every hit would be more or less critical. he would get out relatively intact. the dragon, not so much

Quote from: Wikipedia article on fish

Over 97% of all known fish are oviparous,[40] that is, the eggs develop outside the mother's body. Examples of oviparous fish include salmon, goldfish, cichlids, tuna, and eels. In the majority of these species, fertilisation takes place outside the mother's body, with the male and female fish shedding their gametes into the surrounding water. However, a few oviparous fish practice internal fertilization, with the male using some sort of intromittent organ to deliver sperm into the genital opening of the female, most notably the oviparous sharks, such as the horn shark, and oviparous rays, such as skates. In these cases, the male is equipped with a pair of modified pelvic fins known as claspers.

Not really, Ashley's teleport isn't just teleport, it's teleportation via void movement, Hainuwele has acupuncture based manipulation rather than the power to buff and debuff. Otherwise it turns into a definition debate.

Not everything that vibrates is inheritly anti armor. However look at my description, and how I actually linked to freaking metal gear rising wiki to explain what an HF blade is. Maybe this showcases better as to what cutting capabilities we are talking about. The missile jumping alos provides a good idea as to what kinetic overdrive is supposed to do. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHzentZdOpM#t=352). All that holds ICARUS back is the relatively low amount of mana, really.

That's a question of methodology, not definition. Ashley can teleport friends and foes across all distances. Hai can provide a wide array of buffs/debuffs, not just a few.

It still establishes some limitations such as the inability to teleport shys'm caes in the first case and not working on sufficiently armored targets in the second case.

Stella's mom adopted Meme because Meme didn't have a mother. You...it made sense at the time. You had to be there.

I'm not saying that it didn't make sense, it's just... unsatisfactory. I don't really know to explain it. I guess you had to be there or something.

Basically, one of @Ragnarok's RPs, Twilight Academy (which I won't mention much seeing well, let's just say my primary character design for that left a lot to be desired) and one of @KJ's RPs, Super Academy (which I won't mention much as I wasn't actually in it so I don't know much about it) all had a crossover with RotMG in SA's world and thread. During which, due to player shenanigans:

Selina had been heavily enchanted, but a legally drug-dealing magical doctor with the ability to emulate Walter White along with an amalgamation of the spirits that once resided within inanimate objects (with a rather justified dislike of people jacking off) in a form of a somewhat ursine construct helped disable or mitigate some of them.

Ashley fused with her other self, went psycho for a bit, lost her child to the void, creeped a few people out and got tased by the aforementioned construct's reactive armor. As a result, she gained a third form and a second ability (brainwave manipulation) along with a psycho alternate personality.

Ashley became a pseudocouple with Conny.

Kyle was completely inactive and drifted away from everyone since @KJ was offline.

The sheer post rate inflated Cyrielle's magic charge until she had so much charge she insta-killed an entire army.

Will and Stella began getting close and eventually became a couple.

Selina may or may not have been partially seduced by her alternate universe counterpart's Luna.

Richard x Cyrielle shipping though no real result occurred.

Annie and Wheatley were created.

Izzy x Luca shipping with both of them trying to hide their feelings from one another. Which was rather successful, except pretty much every other PC noticed it.

A PC (Gerard/Gerald, can't remember which spelling) in an attempt to prepare a trap to take out an enemy army rigged an entire city full of people with explosives. This included shopping centers, prisons and schools. A rather poorly executed attempt to convince him that it was a bad idea resulted in all said explosives being detonated.

Selina got addicted to an alternate universe' vampiric Angel's venom and became infatuated with both Angels in a rather creepy, pedophilic-subtext ridden manner.

Conny got redrawn by above mentioned doctor, which, due to an overshot, made her gain the ability to very easily seduce people.

TA characters Meme and Alice Azifernia joined the party.

SA characters Lucas, Izzy, William and Stella joined the party.

In short, they barged into someone elses' thread, blew up the city it was set in, dissected the thread's corpse and wore it as a coat before proceeding to graverob all the characters.

Oh and try not to end up in a definition debate seeing as that somehow happens occasionally. Also, remember to present any factors that would allow enemies to figure out more information on the party seeing as some characters have undisclosed information that the right factors would allow the enemy to know. You don't exactly want to get the plot resolved by someone revealing a hitherto unknown trait or ability that the antagonist should already be aware of.

Yeah, if half the playerbase regards it with apathy don't worry, you'd still be doing relatively well.

In theory. In practice, it's often more like:

"Hey, guys, it's been a while since there's been a plot."
*chatter chatter*
"Hey guys? Plot?"
*chatter*
"I'm running a plot now!"

Plots I remember thus far:
-Selina getting enchanted: revolved via a combination of a crossover, a fade to black and overall forgetfulness of the players.
-Crossover: stole characters from another RP, resolved.
-Sen's Unealing: Went rather well, eeing as there wasn't any criticism.
-Anima's Disappearance: criticized but went relatively well.
-Grandiose: went relatively well; some criticism; resolved due to realism being involved.
-Void Angels: some criticism; resolved via legal shenanigans.
-Bombing: antagonist escaped without a trace, half the players didn't care about the plot, but no arguments happened.
-Angels or Creation: massive OOC shitstom about spell definitions, roll systems, action interpretation, antagonist balancing and lore contradictions; terminated early.
-Arthurian Realm: went off without a hitch aside from the slight debate over the realm being inaccessible.
-Dragons: ongoing; tangential criticism, communication issues, underestimation of a PC's degree of apathy, was on the waitlist for too long, going relatively well so far.

Here are the things that that the party's abilities come under.

Main Spheres - the main two categories, @Ragnarok handles most of this

• Creation: left over primordial power from the creation of the universe, magic by definition is this
• Void: embodiment of emptiness, tends to manifest as teleportation and anti-creation attacks

Peripherals - stuff that doesn't fit in, @Iamanelfcollaborator handles most of this

• Persona: a colossal fuck you to every psychiatrist that did not subscribe to C. Jung's theories
• Superpowers: otherworldly abilities that tend to be more focused in their role than magic

The Twilight - the miscellaneous stuff, @Empiricist handles most of this

• Fate: false-vacuum metastability event combined with lovecraftian traits and nihilism
• Wall Street: the economics of literally everything

((ICARUS specificaly removed her bracelet before discussing that, dont shoehorn Will into knowing this somehow. Also, they were not dreams, nor does she sleep. Remember that she is AI, the body is juts a vessel. When her mind is uploaded to the IRIS server for backups and combat simulation, she is awake the entire time, and it's as real, if not more real, than what happens when she is in the ICARUS-05 unit. The difference is that the perception of time changes as that computer is billions times faster))

1. I couldn't remember the openness of that thing. Um, maybe the person she was discussing it with revealed the secret to someone and it spread?
2. A digitally-generated rose smells just as sweet with properly-programmed odor modules.
3. "t's as real, if not more real, than what happens when she is in the ICARUS-05 unit." Pretty much how dreams work. Down to the time changing, albeit not to that extent. Which seems a bit beyond modern computing capabilities, but eh.

except you tend to forget dreams almost instantly, and except for rare occurances, you have no controle over your actions in your dreams. If they become overly unpleasant, you wake up. None of these apply for ICARUS.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 02, 2014, 03:18:55 pm

I have pretty decent control over my dreams. Unless it only feels like I'm controlling my dreams, but technically it only feels like I'm controlling my body. I also remember dreams about as well as any other specific event: If it's interesting, I remember the details, otherwise I remember general stuff.

And it doesn't have to be exactly the same for Will to point out that IRIS more or less made a sleeping robot.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 02, 2014, 03:25:45 pm

What is its function, then?

And I'd say the symptoms are as similar as it can get for a robot. What more do you want? ICARUS can't breathe, doesn't have eyes to close, and would angrily reject down pillows.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 02, 2014, 03:38:24 pm

well, the real difference is that first you get tired, then you gently fall unconscious and lay there for a while until you are no longer tired and return to consciousness.

for 5 minutes, the "body" of ICARUS stands still, because the actual ICARUS, her mind, is simply not present in that vessel. It instead becomes active in some sort of virtual reality, while IRIS makes a backup copy and some standard analysis stuff. Best compared with that server-stuff our group does. During that time, time perception is slowed down considerably, so entire conversations can be had without even a second fully passing. When our group gets on that server, they are hardly asleep, are they?

there is neither tiredness nor unconsciousness involved. Of course one might confuse it as sleep, thinking hey, her body isn't moving for 5 minutes, must be sleep, but as ICARUS pointed out before, that black and white humanoid machine made of metal and plastic enhanced with boron-nitrate fibers is not actually the entity ICARUS, it's more like a fully body protesis, a set of clothes, a car. Like when Will is eating a cereal, he is clearly not the spoon.

it's a bit difficult to wrap your mind around it, as it is a concept fundamentaly different from most life forms.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 02, 2014, 03:47:48 pm

1. ICARUS is not conscious of the outside world. Dreamers are not conscious of the outside world.
2. ICARUS hallucinates some stuff not related to the outside reality. That's essentially what a dream is.
3. ICARUS is unresponsive to outside stimuli, like deep sleepers are.
4. Aside from duration and mechanism, that's basically all there is to sleep.

Say all you like that ICARUS's body is just a full-body prosthesis for it. You know why? My body is an all-organic prosthesis. It's really the same thing.

1. ICARUS is not conscious of the outside world because in a VR, she has no eyes or ears or any sensors avaiable to gain data of the outside world. The IRIS servers won't allow it.
2. ICARUS is not halluzinating. She is interacting with events create by a programm.
3. She is fully responsive to outside stimuli, she just doesn't get any, as her set of eyes and other sensors is thousands of miles away.

it's really not the same thing, as your mind is actively tied to your body. no seperation can happen, and your mind being inside your body is the default state, thats how it started and thats how it will end. It's fundamentaly different from how ICARUS functions. If it helps, imagine a tiny little electronic girl inside the robots head that is pulling on levers and pushing buttons. When the body is on stand-by, that's simply because ICARUS is not at home. So far however, there aren't many places she can go anyway, as hardly any hardware is actually capable of hosting her. So far, only the ICARUS bodies, and she only has the authorization, that is to say the *keys* for the 05 unit, and the IRIS server that runs the combat testing, backup and analysis. And she doesn't even go there quite as often anymore, since she gained the ability to refuse orders.
I suppose she might be able to fully function on the groups server space thing, not sure how she would look in there

Robert Robert Dubois is an average member of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species. He enjoys his work as a salesman for a small house insurance firm based in Lyon. His hobbies include tending to his rose garden, reading science fiction novels, not being mistaken for an alien octopus robot probe from space, and writing and reciting poetry. He hopes to some day marry and have children then grandchildren of his own. His long term goals include plans to retire early and move to some cozy home in the countryside. His greatest fears include wasps, goverment agents, taxes, flutes, and meeting the alien octopus robot probe that has been sighted in the area recently.

Power: Robert is a perfectly normal and average Human creature, with no strange or alien powers whatsoever. What, you aren't convinced? Well... Now you are. Feel silly for doubting what Robert was, yeah? Hell, if Robert were, hypothetically, a supermodel, or the President of the United States, or maybe just a plain old rock, I guarantee you'd be convinced that that was in fact what he was too.

The whole thing was that after 60 years of living or so, they're fur turns grey and they slowly die... and then get turned into a tiny orb the original color of their fur.

as a girl, I'd say it's probably not all that fundamentaly different from being a boy, not that I know how that works.


If that post is long-ish, I'd assume it's more of a "how it is to be me" rather than "how it is to be a girl". I mean, purely by statistics, unless the girl who send you this is some sort of ancient sage who meditates all day to gain endless wisdom and insight into the universe, why would she know how it is to be a girl except by projecting her own life unto others? I mean, most of the time I have no idea how someone elses life really is, regardless of their gender. I doubt that this post really contains any valueable insights apart from the tried and tested "periods are so horrible" rants.

As I said, it's difficult to think of things that definetly do not apply to men, but also are probably not limited just to me.


First thing that comes to mind that I doubt men think about is the trouble that is linked to the whole pregnancy and being a mother stuff. For a woman, that is so much more involving and life changing than for a man. Then again, I don't have any experience in that field whatsoever and don't really plan to in foreseeable future, so I am really only working on assumptions here.


I have no idea what Cados friend would even start with explaining

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 03, 2014, 10:07:33 am

Well, judging by the situation where Cado brought it up, I'd say that one obvious part would be periods and other hormonal stuff. But probably mostly periods, since the rest doesn't have a "base" to go off of.

that's really a teenager thing, complaining about periods all the time. I've seen all sorts of very colorful explanations about how utterly horrible they are but really, you get used to them. Sometimes they are better sometimes they are worse, but really, eventually they are just an annoyance. Anyone who keeps complaining about them at all times and how guys dont have them is sorta whiny

Oh, and you've an excuse to be grumpy 12 times per year. Stuff like that. :v

Possibly. However, plants tend to possess various polymers that can be difficult to digest; since Meme is part-cat, she might not be able to. Stealing honey or maybe drinking nectar seem likelier. Beets and sugar cane are also not unlikely.

it's less about the effects, but that you get used to them. Sure it's annoying, but after the 100th time, you really stop caring. As far has the emotional effects go, well I can really only speak for myself, I have never found them overwhelmingly hard to deal with. It's not like you wouldn't have the emotions anyway, they are just kinda amplified, a bit less kept under controle. This makes the excuse "she can't help it, she's on her period" a very weak excuse. If I cry over stuff on my period, it's about stuff that I'd be sad about under normal circumstances too, if I get angry about stuff, then it's usualy something that I'd be angry about anyway, if I get horny, well, same thing.


It is, however, not nearly as catastrophic as media makes it out to be. You get irritable, but that's all. Shit only hits the fan if you were a bitch already in normal mode. Again, it's really something you just get used to after the 100th time. You just shouldn't use it as Mrs.Cado is describing it - an excuse to get grumpy. It's an entirely normal thing to get sad or angry about stuff, and to occasionaly vent it. If you just keep it all bottled up until your period so you have "an excuse" and a convenient way to rid yourself of the responsibility of what you said, then you are just a bad person. It's not your hormones that made you say what you said, you wanted to say it all along, just now you are not holding back.

I might as well ask now for clarifications about the magic system in this game. If my passive ability is an always-on mind suggestion to onlookers, can I as an active ability use mana to project a more powerful suggestion on certain target(s) temporarily?

Also, the theory Marie's working with is that Robert has something like an opposite of  alexithymia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexithymia), able to communicate in ideas but not concretes. She figures that he'll have trouble answering, basically.

Yes, in general his mental suggestion would not communicate concretes, though depending on the case (such as this one) it could possibly communicate the idea to the observer that he has solved the problem, and the observer's mind would fill in the blanks to make it seem that he's solved the problem as the observer would expect it to be solved. Of course, that's if the observer knows the solution.

Post by: Twi on March 03, 2014, 02:46:35 pm

Yeah. Basically the only reason it doesn't work as well  on Marie is that her mind is used to abstracts without concretes and apparent irrationalities and sees no need to explain such things away. Hence, you can tell her to view you as human and she does, but she doesn't feel the need to rationalize you to 'act' human. In some ways, it probably works better, since it doesn't require flights of fancy. However, if you used 'the solution' here she'd call you out on it. :P

Well, there are different factors that are part of it.
Seduction is one of the higher paying ones because of religious issues and such.
So on a typical $3000 per successful trip (unless conflict occurred), he would make about $3500 for said trip, for the seduction issues.
Although, in this case, they had to teleport out in order to actually get away without having Marie with them...
He would make ~$2000 for his problems. (It's a high paying job)
Of, and P.S., this is all in the relevant currency for Saudi Arabia.

The problem here is, with Marie, human does not mean normal. Basically she's going to think he's insane by some standard or another :P

She can think he is insane, the mental suggestion doesn't do anything for that. But she probably doesn't see him as a robot/alien/mind-manipulating creature that he is, just some silly and stupid person of some sort that is just here for paperwork.

them successfully reproducing is only because of Kyles hyper fertility magic, obviously




also, against 50 Mind fueling Roberts ability, Will would at least require a roll, there is no guarantee at all that he would actually be able to automaticaly see through it. it is rather powerful mind manipulation afterall


of course, Will could be the sushi chef, who keeps shouting that he is clearly an alien probe here for your anuses, and everybody will just stare at Will like he is crazy and should leave the poor clerk alone

If anything, Robert's ability should work BETTER on Will. He'll rationalize everything to fit, after all. Whereas Marie's psyche sees no need to rationalize, hence I was considering her being totally unaffected before deciding that just up and no-selling something, no matter the reason, is kinda dumb.

ARGH.


I AM RAGING AT MAXIMUM.


I WAS IN TENPAI FOR A PURE CHUUREN POOTO, BUT NO PIN TILE CAME OUT FOR 9 TURNS AND THEN SOMEONE WON WITH AN OPEN SAN SHOKOU FOR JUST 1000 POINTS! ARGH!




((explanation for those who have no clue about mahjong, a pure chuuren pooto is an incredibly rare hand, that would have gotten me 48000 points. Due to it's unique structure, once you are in tenpai - that is one tile away from winning, and tile of the same color (pei, the circles) will do, so you are almost guaranteed to win it once you actually assemble it - very difficult. VERY difficult. An open san shokou is the easiest, most skill-less and lowest socring hand in the game. A first grader could do that. I am grinding my teeth so hard in anger they might break))

yes, mahjong, you guys should learn it sometime, just so you can understand my rage


there are only two hands that would have induced more rage, a pure kokushi mosou (same value has pure chuuren pooto, but not as cool) or a hand that never happens, a daisangen suu ankou tsuuiisou (the most valueable hand if you ignore adding tenhou)

...unlike Will, who will recognize the deception pretty much immediately.
Aside from some potential comedy, this shouldn't affect much.

...why?

He would be aware of the effect. Mind control works on him, if it's strong enough that it overrides his ability to do otherwise, but if it doesn't he can fight it pretty accurately. When it's something as minor as this...it's pretty easy. And that's not getting into how he can sense magical energies.
Not to mention that his power in large part is picking up on the vital little details...and things like "has tentacles" and "is not actually saying anything" aren't exactly "little".

As to why it doesn't affect much, well...he's fully aware that he'll look crazy if he accuses Robert of being an octobot (?) so he's not saying anything.

From what I understand, think perceptiveness combined with the ability to readily make logical connections that would not be obvious to other people without thought.

And Robert's ability involves making them oblivious to his identity, and preventing them from thinking about it.

Not to mention that if everyone can just pull out of being affected then Robert's ability is hardly an ability at all...

Quote from: Akroma on March 03, 2014, 04:38:47 pm

He could just glue some plastic wings on him and sprinkle some gold glitter on him and attend the council of dragons no problem

There would be some issues, since he doesn't share their low-grade hivemind. With a bit of wit or silence, though, that shouldn't be too hard to deal with.

And he should probably go for silver glitter if he tries that.

Same with all Void-based characters (Ashley, Nodoka, Void, etc), and arguably all AU characters (Izzy, Stella, Will, Emp's Alice, Meme, maybe Mimi) and characters drawn into existence by Selina (Conny, Momo)

From what I understand, it's less mind control and more 'Hey brain, Robert's a human!' leaving the brain to its own devices to rationalize away the inconsistencies. So basically disguise through suggestion. Not saying your argument is totally invalid, but it still seems to have room for debate. Plus,

I've been explaining it as best I could. IIRC, I also provided a (brief) explanation of why Will would notice the discrepancies. And why didn't Marie rationalize away her suspicions, hm?

And Will's power doesn't come from his brain. It wouldn't be affected by Robert's power.

Post by: Twi on March 03, 2014, 09:00:51 pm

Well yeah, but you should have done it BEFORE no selling. :P

Anyways, Marie doesn't do it because Marie's thought process doesn't cause her to automatically make stuff up to fit what Robin's power is telling it. It's a consequence of her being a creature of nightmare, and thus more used to emotions and ideas than proper senses and stimulus. Besides, I did refuse to just go lolnope entirely. Hence the whole thing about telepathy.

And why does Robert's power work like that?*
And I don't really remember what exactly you're talking about with the telepathy thing. Besides, technically all he ever did was realize something was off. I never said he understood exactly what was going on from the moment he laid eyes on Robert.

*Another consideration: In absence of canonical explanation for how superpowers from the Super Academy universe work, I turn to the source I based Will on: Tattletale from Worm. Without getting into spoilers, Robert's powers would work better on Marie than they would on Will's power...and Will's power would, again, point out the dispecrancy.

Sure, why not?

Also, everyone assumed you said he knew everything and you never bothered to correct us.

As for the argument: basically, when it comes down to it, it sounds to me like Robert's power works with the aid of the viewer's subconscious. It tells them an idea ("Robert is a perfectly normal, boring  human!") and then they subconsciously conjure up images, sounds, and all that to rationalize that idea and make it make sense. Your mind does this sort of thing all the time for little stuff like filling in gaps in your vision .Because Marie's subconscious (or conscious for that matter) is uniquely endowed with the ability to not give a fuck about rationalizing ideas with senses, well...

As for your arguments, the perception doesn't work, because the power would just subconsciously fill in the little tells all the better, I assume.

Magical energies would still work, of course. But pure thought and perception would not, if that's what it is.

Why? Robert's power works on people, not powers. Will's power certainly isn't part of his subconscious; it's much too vocal (whenever I feel like it wouldn't clutter things up and/or would be funny) and separate from Will's consciousness for that. His power would, unaffected by Robert's, be telling Will things that are off with what Robert's power was telling his subconscious. And, since he hasn't really needed to rationalize anything ever since he got his power, the fact that he is rationalizing stuff would also clue in his power that something was wrong. If nothing else, it starts a feedback loop that his conscious ind couldn't help but notice.

Robert's power is like that one device from the Vampires of Venice episode of doctor who. It make the brain assume they thing you are looking at is human, and the brain fills in the gaps. E.I. if you looked at his reflection, you wouldn't see a human, but something else. It kinda warns you of danger. In Robert's case, your brain sees a human, since he doesn't show any danger.

Since ICARUS was affected, I argue that Robots in general are affected. Usualy they analyze the body of persons in front of them, and that gets put through a comparison algorythm to identify that persons race. Roberts magic probably interfers with that somehow.

ICARUS will wait until @GWG has figured the next part out

No hint intended. A suggestion to think of some clever way to find where the yellow dragons are...somewhat intended.
After all, finding the activities of one specific species in areas like Central America and Amazonia is less like trying to find a needle in a haystack and more like trying to find a piece of straw in a haystack. Especially since the dragons prefer the more forested areas.

I'm sure you'll figure out something. At least, I hope you can, because I'm a bit stumped at the moment. Well, you could wait for more data to come in I guess.

Apart from going through accounts of locals to maybe pinpoint in which area most ecnounters happen, and hoping that *maybe* IRIS satelites showing anything interesting in thermal vision or whatever cool science filters these guys have, I am not sure.


But seriously, going through the reports should already narrow things down, just by connecting the dots when you ask them which direction they came from and in which direction they left. Perhaps any of these areas show any geographical points of interest, like ancient ruins, cave systems and whatnot. Just imagine, what does a usual yellow dragon lair look like? What are the yellow dragons doing right now, and who could have seen anything of it that could make into onto the internet? Once the players are looking nthrough an area, yellow dragons like meddling, so maybe they'd actually approach the players, using their magical senses to notice that something has entered their territory that is unusual?


or just go with the rule of GM convenience and just have the players stumble upon a lair pretty easily :P

But also magical filters of various sorts, too, for seeing through walls and stuff.

I'm going to give you a helpful spoiler right now: There is more than one place where there are yellow dragons. That's probably the biggest hindrance to your current quest.

that where cross-referancing with the reports of yellow dragon sightings come in, do I really have to chew everything through with you?

the reports should already narrow the areas down, overlay with magic mapping should narrow it down further. Since different kinds of magic can be differentiated, there should be a certain repeating overlap between the indicated areas of the reports and a certain kind of magic, which can be used to rule out unrelated magical places if there is a different kind of magic detected, while the same kind of magic might reveal dragon nests that host dragons that don't live near logging camps.

I'll make an MSpaint thing to explain

(http://i58.tinypic.com/5zfad3.png)

Black = area indicated by eyewitnesses. Too big and too vague to actually search through
Red = the dragons magic
Other colors = unrelated magic stuffs

the only magic that is found in all of the areas is the draconic magic, which makes the area that needs to be searched a lot smaller.
in the case there there is some super common sort of magic that can be found in all of the indicated areas besides dragons, it's possible to just sort that out by trial and error and check out both kinds of magic manualy to check if a dragon is the source.

unless the eye-witness reports are very accurate, it might take weeks of tracking through the jungle to find anything. waiting for the satelites is a lot more convenient, and likely faster too

on a sidenote, ICARUS is fairly heat-resistant, as noted in the charsheet. I have no idea how that factors in with heat increasing magic. I am not sure why this ability would be more effective against machines than against humans (so sais the charsheet). Increase a humans body temperature by a few degress and they quickly keel over and die. Even crappy computers need a lot more increasement from their optimal temperature to a temperature that fucks them over

I would just like to point out that yellow dragons are supposed to be able to fly, which means there would be landing sites near their lairs. An overfly of the area encompassed by the eyewitness reports should narrow down possible locations, and would therefore make it quicker

Do condors need landing sites?

Makes sense. No matter what our willpower, having the air heated around you (or in you) is going to give you a bad time.

Yeah except previous precedent indicates that it still protects. Otherwise, Kyle could have previously exploded people's lungs with air magic seeing as willpwoer shouldn't be able to stop that either.

Nope, doesn't work like that. Even the Gods can't bring someone back. Ashley and Cyrielle are technically undead, not truly resurrected.

'Slightly biomechanical corpse-puppet' is probably a better term for the latter by now. Either way, works well for shipping prevention seeing as necrophilic subtext tends to halt it.

The former is more akin to a ghost except one with an adjustable physical form.

Aria's form, the one time she appeared was probably either the afterlife's equivalent of using Skype or a ghost.

Silica's body amounts to a UAV with the operator already in the afterlife.

There is a distinction in 3.5 D&D for spell resistance and such. Basically, a spell can affect the area around such a warded creature without needing to overcome spell resistance, but anything in the creature's direct possession (ie, weapons in hand, armor on body, air in lungs) would not be. If there was a Heat Air spell (there isn't), it would trigger spell resistance only if you heated a bottle of air the spell-resisting creature was holding (why would you do that?), but not if you heated the air around the creature.
In essence, I'm saying you have a faulty analogy.

Or at least Kyle's bad days.

Quote from: Akroma on March 05, 2014, 08:56:04 am

If Kyle wanted a polite servant bot, he should have gone by customizing her voice files, instead of giving her the ability to actually dislike things.

That's what he did.
Remember, Kyle programmed HK, but not ICARUS. (IIRC.)

But other than that...I agree with a brief skimming of your points.

This whole thing reminds me of a movie I've read about. A military robot with a deadly experimental laser gets zapped by lightning and somehow gets a soul. For some reason, possibly related to the fact that in its first days as a sentient being it showed no comprehension of the value or even definition of life, they wanted to shut down the robot before, as Cracked put it, it "disassembled some toddlers".
In short, only IRIS would decide that it was a good idea to put their very first emotion prototype into ICARUS. And no, they didn't base ICARUS's emotions on HK; if they did, ICARUS would act like HK--aka, polite and loyal and such.

A) They didn't think it was a good idea, in fact it was Will who convinced them to give it a try

B) I clearly remember that Kyle installed a programm that simulates emotions, and not a personality. Personality and emotions are entirely different things. Also, these emotions Kyle programmed were only patched in, unto the CPU that Sanderwick programmed. HK is entirely Kyle made, while ICARUS is a bit of patchwork with little coordinative talks happening between Kyle and Sanderwick, who I might say, was very much against taking steps that could possibly lead to robot sentience. That it actually  might happen, he didn't really foresee.

A. Will was evidently misinformed on what they would actually be doing.
B. You can't have emotions without a personality; it's meaningless to talk of emotions alone. And, again, Will didn't expect them to put a hacked-together experimental AI onto a cutting-edge combot. Seriously, were they TRYING to create Skynet?

I am not sure wether an emotion-analysis programm would have actually done anything to make ICARUS likeable. Most people might not really welcome it when an uncaring robot calmly holds a monologue precisely analysing your emotions for everyone to hear. Such a robot would have to come with a very soft memory foam on her face and a very flexible neck, because of all the slappings it would receive.

edit: Also, I agree with GWG. The thing is a military bot. It is programmed to always consider wether or not just applying enough violence or threats of violence might be a good option. Giving such a thing the ability to be *upset* about something is really problematic. In the end they just thought that a) Kyle knew what he was doing and that b) the prime directives would make it impossible for the robot to act against orders. They were just as suprised as ICARUS was when they noticed she somehow worked her way around them.

Wait wasn't it the air inside her? If it was around her, then I would think that it would indeed cause the effect without a roll but could evaded without harm using DEX rather than MND since they wouldn't have the spell directly target them.

Regarding that new possible character, that BETTER not be related to a certain organization of vampire soldiers defeated by, in no particular order, A group of mercenaries named for another group from an old film, a vampiric police officer, An army of Crusaders from the Catholic Church, and Dracula, Like I think it might be.

I dunno', I just fished the picture from a random anime. I spent around a month creating the character, though.

No, it's because there was a string of bad events that involved Evee turning into a Flareon, so everyone blames it and calls it the False Prophet.

I know that, but if Flareon hadn't sucked, they might have still used it.
EDIT: Unless, of course, her robothood has sharp, spinning blades that de-penis anyone who tries to mate with her, as a precautionary method put in by her creators.

// Photo taken during a research project on void portals being found in a sewer. His helmet lenses change colors according to his mood, with red being for 'going to fuck you up'.

Name: Dr. Alucard Faucheuse
XP: 135

   Alucard is a man of tall stature with a long black trench coat and maroon colored shoulder plates. His mask is menacing in appearance, with a large gas mask and large top-helmet. His helmet's lenses are able to change color according to his mood, with each color indicating a different emotion.
   An unusual anomaly occurs within him; his magic wavelength often seems interfered. This interference is small where devices can still pinpoint it, but is not as precise as all other magic wavelengths. This happens because his soul is linked with Bartimaeus.

Background:
   [REDACTED]
What we know:
   Some time ago, Alucard managed to get trapped inside of the void, spending more than a decade in its nothingness. There he met the two-horned entity Bartimaeus of Lolgrammoth, whom followed him and told him of the void. During his final year inside the void, a mysterious portal opened in front of Alucard and Bartimaeus, for an unknown reason. Upon entering the portal, Alucard returned to the material realm with Bartimaeus--but not without consequence. Upon exiting the void, the energies of the two suffused together and joined Alucard's soul to Bartimaeus's void essence, forming a connection of creation and void between the two. This connection allows them to communicate to each other's minds, and often share pain as well.
   In 2002, IRIS recruited Alucard to research void magic. He has contributed to many valuable discoveries concerning void magic and is very intelligent in the matter. Upon completing an IQ test, he has ranged in the higher scores which further denotes his train of thought to be intellectual. He also has knowledge of artificing.
 He has no known family members, implying that they have passed away.

Personality:
   Alucard is almost always calm and collected. He rarely expresses his humor but sometimes shows happiness. When he is angry, he often becomes amoral. He often lapses into days of silence where he dwells within his office in contemplation.

Gender: Male
Age: Guessing from his voice and height, he seems to be in his 20's or 30's.

Stats:
STR- 10
END- 10+10 (Combat Armor)
DEX- 7
MAG- 23
MIND- 25

Power: Uses a special type of void magic which relies on unusual characteristics of a 'pocket dimension' found on the outer planes of the void. This dimension is dubbed the 'Other Place' by him and is home to a large number of 'spirits', one of which is his companion Bartimaeus which he met during [REDACTED]. Only a small amount of matter is able to exist in the Other Place, any high amounts of matter entering would be obliterated and converted into void energy.
   Most of his power relies on his companion, the shape-shifting spirit Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus is able to phase into the Other Place and control various aspects of it. One of his powerful attacks, called the 'Inferno' is able to be used because Bartimaeus phases into the Other Place and creates a magic fire which siphons void energy over time. Alucard is able to open a small portal to the Other Place and release all the built up energy in a fiery explosion, with its power depending on how long it has been charging. It is estimated that it would take approximately 100 years for the Inferno to charge enough so that it gains 10 kilotons of force. Along with the Inferno, Alucard (using Bartimaeus's help) is also able to conjure a 'Surge', which is essentially the Inferno but with electricity instead of fire.
   Alucard cannot use most of his magic without his companion's assistance, save for a few common void magic spells. He is able to open a small portal to the Other Place which is a powerful vacuum which sucks air into it because of how gasses work, they move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. The other place, being a vacuum, sucks all the air into it which is then obliterated and converted to void energy.
   Other attacks have been known to include flashbangs and the such. Sound energy cannot be used because sound requires a medium to pass through, and matter can only exist in the Other Place in very small forms.
   Like all void magic, Alucard is able to teleport. However, because he is only able to access a small section of the void (the Other Place), he can only teleport a short distance which ranges to around a kilometer and has a slightly longer teleportation time. To teleport longer distances, Bartimaeus has to assist him.
   Alucard seems to be an expert when it comes to opening actual portals to the Other Place. His portals range from various shapes and sizes and power. One type of portal he can conjure is a bubble around him which sucks in a small part of the air around the bubble to prevent sound from penetrating it. It's essentially a vacuum shield.
   He is unable to cast most of his magic without Bartimaeus being near him. This happens because [REDACTED].

   Bartimaeus is a spirit that comes from the Other Place, a small pocket dimension which rests in the void. It seems that he has no actual form that he takes when entering the material dimension, but most often takes the form of Corvus corax, a common raven.

Personality:

Often more humorous than his companion, Alucard. He is extroverted and often playful.

Stats:
STR- 5

DEX- 3
 He often gets confused when operating a different form, especially those with many limbs such as spiders.
MAG- 10
MIND- 10
 He seems to share the magic power and intellect of his companion, Alucard.

Power: Being an entity which comes from the void itself, he uses void magic and is able to phase to the Other Place at anytime. He is able to conjure various forms of magic energy into the Other Place. This magic energy 'charges' by siphoning void energy resting inside of the Other Place. Because he is able to do this, he is crucial to Alucard's magic and leaves Alucard especially vulnerable when he is not with Barimaeus. He is also able to shape-shift.
   Bartimaeus is also able to cast different types of magic other than void magic, called void-essence magic. This magic works like his shapeshifting of himself, only he shapeshifts his magic. In order to do so, he must actually convert some of his essence (what he's made of) into magic energy. Doing so siphons his HP, so he doesn't do it often.

Also the false prophet business, I assume, is caused by Flareon sucking shit in Gen 1.

I don't think anyone takes it as seriously as even Pastafarianism.

According to TV Tropes, it's because they were wanting to evolve it to Vaporeon (for Surf) or Jolteon (for battle), but wound up buying a fire stone instead. And some dolls.
Then there was some other stuff. And there was stuff from when it was Eevee. Like when trying to store it lead to them releasing their starter.

man, so I heared a bit of buzzinh under the kitchen counter. Turns out a wasp queen had somehow gotten in and actually started building a nest in my kitchen. I caught the queen and got rid of the freshly laid eggs, none had hatched yet.


I think I just dodged a major bullet. Man, the queen is huge. I am glad I found her before my cat did, though I am not sure if queens actually have stingers. I'll release her later I guess, though relatively far away, so she doesnt try to nest close to where I live. she is in a jar right now, I named her Corebus because she is so angry

Launching it into orbit and reloading it wouls be easy. We have magic, so it's mostly a case of teleportation. Of course you'd need rockets to push it into orbit, but they wouldn't have to be very big or cumbersome.

True.

The issue is, international reaction to an outside body associated with magic, creating an orbital weapon may be rather chilly.

He's probably omnisexual, Mallory-romantic.

Some nice, old fashioned sidewinder rockets should do more than enough damage, and it's also harder to hit than a mech due to the speed. Now *that* may be a method for Will to fight. Simply by piloting a fucking jet and doing a nice bombing on a fly-by

As for the PA enlargement, square-cube law dictates that its volume and thus mass increases faster than surface area of its feet as it gets larger. You have a greater amount of weight force concentrated on its feet.

Assuming you can find some material to withstand the reaction forces and motors to impart that force, you could.

Though then again, it already can, seeing as a giant version of it would only be crushing stuff that its overweight ass is parked on top of, so between an overglorified weight and an exoskeleton, I'd say the exoskeleton already can crush more objects that are not directly below it and is probably more practical.

We don't need one. At all. We couldn't have resolved any previous plots by having giant humanoid artillery platforms.

Not even Dumah, seeing as the supernatural equivalent (Spooky) didn't manage to stop the charging.

Spooky isn't really a mech.

And also the dragon fight if Cyrielle didn't have a BS rifle.

Except the rifle wouldn't have worked if @GWG didn't forget to halve the result and misinterpreted it as an instant kill.

Yes, because a rifle that deals reduced damage and has a chance of interfering with the enemy that doesn't even have a remote chance of happening until they are at below 50% HP is more BS than Kyle's katana which could instant kill immediately using air magic he didn't even have.

Yeah but if you're screwing physics with magic you could make other unrealistic things that are still more practical. Relative to the other options available with the current parameters, its practicality does not increase.

1. So? Kyle's probably going to be needed for a lot of the big stuff...and it's one of the likelier things he is to like. And that most are to accept.

In situations where it is necessary.

Comparatively, a series of rudimentary satellites with the enchantments necessary for them to ignore air resistance could survey areas quickly for imaging, crash into targets to eliminate them, act as bracelet teleport beacons if equipped with one (obviously they would be to used after a controlled crash) and help track targets. Unlike a mecha, there is no pilot inside them to risk, they are less vulnerable to hijacking (a one way ticket to the pavement/soon-to-be-crater isn't something most people are keen on), have a faster response time and, by the time their high velocity mass is close enough to their target to be seen, not as vulnerable to antimagic.

Wouldn't they be moving too fast to be useful for much imaging?
Wouldn't crashing into stuff...break it?
Wouldn't tracking targets require them to stay fairly near said targets?
Wouldn't antimagic make their orbit decay faster than you can say "supersonic"?

Yes, hence the emphasis was on "close enough to their target to be seen", seeing as most targets cannot see something in orbit until its orbit has already decayed and sent it barreling down at them, antimagic won't work too well.

Alucard's magic works mainly through Bartimaeus, who can freely phase into the void. There Bartimaeus can charge a magic attack. The magic will siphon void energy and build up until Alucard opens a portal which unleashes the attack. Apart from that, Alucard can also teleport a short distance and can cast portals which suck in objects like a vortex.

STR: 10 + 5(SFT)
DEX: 10 + 5(1-SFT)
END: 15
MAG: 15
MND: 10

SFT is dragon shift percentage.
So at 0% (full human) she would have 10 STR and 15 DEX, at 100% (full dragon) she would have 15 STR and 10 DEX. At 50% (half and half), 12.5 STR and 12.5 DEX
at 25% (human with dragonic features), 11 (rounded down) STR and 14 DEX (rounded up)

COuld work, although the shape I normally park her in as the half-and-half is more like 45% dragon, 55% human, (She still has a human face and thats mostly it), (The true half and half is basically a dragon on two legs and human sized, although she still has breasts in that shape)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 07, 2014, 07:11:21 pm

I calculated it as:

• Base stat is the lowest value of the two forms for that stat.
• Variable stat is the difference between the two.
• (SFT) multiplication if it increases with dragon, (1-SFT) if it increases with human.
• Round to nearest integer except for .5s which are kept (otherwise her stat total varies due to rounding).

It's relatively minor seeing as only STR and DEX varies currently.

Elf should have all of the lore, or at least, most of it.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 09, 2014, 09:34:25 am

considering I have no idea what kinda of plot you have in mind, and don't really want to be spoilered either, only very general advice


- be prepared that a lot of players might not show much interest or innitiative. don't be discouraged by that


- add in a swarm of weak grunts, KJ seems to be aching for some fights where he can be badass


- be prepared that your bossfights might be over in an instant when suddenly all those players who previously had no interest start teleporting in an adding their attacks. It is incredibly difficult to actually create a balanced fight, as you never really know who and how many players will be fighting

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: kj1225 on March 09, 2014, 09:35:55 am

You could create a boss that gets more powerful as people show up to fight.

Post by: Akroma on March 09, 2014, 09:40:19 am

wouldn't a boss that gets more powerful the more people join quickly turn into a bullshit fight?


either the stat increase is so small that it's meaningless, or the stat-increase raises the enemies stats to a level where he is virtualy impossible to be properly damaged






as far as handling combat goes, it seems the d50+stat method is the fastest, I recommend it

when hit, d50+(strength or mag) vs d50+(end or mind), the difference (if on the strengths side) is the damage dealt.

I've spent the last three days trying to get to the nearest electronics store, which is just under an hour or two* away. The bus system is confusing, with buses not showing up when they should, and I can't find the roads needed to get there.
Next week is spring break, so I may just be able to use the (evidently easier-to-find) store in my hometown.

@Akroma does have a point. @GWG can't actually continue his plot currently, plus even if he returns before @Projeck's plot ends, we have a large enough cast to be involved in both of them. Not to mention that, unless they start grabbing and shoving dragons into windowless vans, there shouldn't be too much mutual interference.

You can blame him for literally forgetting about a perfectly finished plot for months on end and even when he has time nonetheless being lazy as fuck and devoting the bare minimum of effort to actually doing his job. Or rather, not doing his job. Most of the time he doesn't do his job until heads start rolling.

That is why he did that. IT's because he at least recognizes that he could never be bothered to run anything.

Thanks for the vote of confidence? Mind you I'm dropping Magical Spambot Girls for something different because I obviously overstretched myself with the dungeon design.

Also, if I was the GM I doubt that I would do much more than what Elf is doing right now, besides keep the plots in order and poke people to run theirs on time. Running my plot was rather stressful, to be honest.

That's not even relevant. I don't care about pace or plot, I just don't want someone who doesn't care about the RP running it. And also someone who's incompetence has repeatedly caused trouble for us. And who is unwilling to actually put in the effort to even really actively moderate that much, which is the least a GM should do here. I mean, I've seen the way Elf responds to lore: When I actually told him to think about stuff for the Neferis calculation, I'm pretty sure he pulled those ideas  out of his ass. He whined about Maria's house getting blown up even though he should have, if he was GMing responsibly, known full well that it was possible and raised objections beforehand.

Post by: Empiricist on March 09, 2014, 04:06:33 pm

So are you to say that a turn-per-day GM with a style similar @Piecewise would be acceptable? It would cut the RP rate drastically, which, at this rate, may not be a bad thing.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 09, 2014, 04:07:09 pm

This game is more or less group controled anyway. Everyone is adding to the lore and the plots on his own anyway, what matters is that Elf keeps an eye out. He hasn#t been doing that bad of a job.

It would however be nice if that list could be kept public and visible for everyone to see, so nobody can just cut in line or accidentaly be forgotten




also, shut up Twi. Elf is doing this because he wants to, not because he has to. If you shit on him like this, he'll just quit and nobody wants that. he deserves to enjoy this game as much as anyone else. As I said before, this game is more or less community driven. Actively reading the entire thing and moderating it is a huge task. It's entirely sufficent when Elf shows up when he is called, when the group is at an impasse and needs a bit word from above to keep running without major arguements. he has been doing that so far, everything else is just a bonus

Also, no. Just because he doesn't have to doesn't mean he gets praise for doing it poorly. I understand why he did it to begin with, but it's clear there are people better suited to organize all the plots and lore. As in, literally everyone.

Fortunately, this administrative function doesn't require being on that often so long as you are on consistently every so often and willing to read the plot materials.

rotation won't really work, at least not with all plots. For my first plot, I had to contact many people - though mainly rag - to get stuffed in line with current canon.

Quote from: Empiricist on March 09, 2014, 03:23:24 pm

How about we just run a few plots that that have some degree of compatibility simultaneously and have them interfere with each other? I don't think a conspiracy to abduct and research magic users would cause too much issues when being run with something inside the bracelet system and some sort of incident with dragons.

Especially since the dragon situation is currently stable. Really, the next step would presumably be one that could be initiated any old time people want.

Quote from: Empiricist on March 09, 2014, 03:31:00 pm

Wait, didn't @Projeck's plot already begin seeing as Jason got kidnapped and later, Marie got abducted (and probably will again, though subsequent times will probably involve her forcing the other party to abduct her)?

Point taken. Kinda pissed off to be honest at other things- Twi has a point. And I HAVE been running my own characters, thank you very much.

To be honest, I've been considering closing the game here, restarting with a much smaller crew, a better grip on everything else, and more missions run by me. Or hell, just divving up the player base with a co-GM, have one GM cover a group and let me cover another. I might stop the plot queue and do one of my own.

It's not a hard job to moderate. Non-elf people can do it. Elf doesn't want to nor is he very good at it. We just need other people to do it. I'm willing to review plots. A more audacious project would be to start buttoning down on lore and whatnot, maybe through public documents (stuff revealed in the RP) and private documents (stuff planned). But just making sure we don't break anything? Simple! Easy! Practical! If we actually put in effort. Which the current person tasked for that purpose is unwilling to put in.

Elf, I dare say that if you "close" this game game and start a new, smaller one while erasing the plot cue, you may find that you sorta lack that authority.


Everyone has a ton of characters and plots lined up they wanna play, and nobody really seems bothered by there being many players. And it WORKS. Just look at how big and linglived this thread is, compared to all the forum games with a lot of GM regulation - those hardly last 2 weeks. I am not sure why, but this thread is a model of success, unparalleled by any other in this section. Even threads meant to emulate it, like super academy, are running so much, much more slower.


if you declare this game over, you may find that it might simply continue running well without you, all that will happen is that we will have a long discussion on who inherits the authority to put his foot down to end arguements, while the IC thread will not see any change apart from your chars missing.




So seriously both of you, Elf, Twi, stop being so upset. Despite your complaints, everything is running just fine. All we need to do is get the plot queue into proper order and everything will resume nicely.

2. I'm quite enraged myself, to be honest. I accept I've been incredibly lazy and unattentive. For that I apologise. However, I have cleared plots, done my best to record lore, and frankly if I was permitted would be able to run actual plot; stupidly hard when you have nothing but a tablet to work on for five out of seven days a week.
3. Please, go ahead. I need people to help with the moderation- a co-GM and a plot reviewer. Co-GM to handle shit when I'm gone and plot reviewer because there are far too many people to get through.

Elf, I dare say that if you "close" this game game and start a new, smaller one while erasing the plot cue, you may find that you sorta lack that authority.

Everyone has a ton of characters and plots lined up they wanna play, and nobody really seems bothered by there being many players. And it WORKS. Just look at how big and linglived this thread is, compared to all the forum games with a lot of GM regulation - those hardly last 2 weeks. I am not sure why, but this thread is a model of success, unparalleled by any other in this section. Even threads meant to emulate it, like super academy, are running so much, much more slower.

if you declare this game over, you may find that it might simply continue running well without you, all that will happen is that we will have a long discussion on who inherits the authority to put his foot down to end arguements, while the IC thread will not see any change apart from your chars missing.

So seriously both of you, Elf, Twi, stop being so upset. Despite your complaints, everything is running just fine. All we need to do is get the plot queue into proper order and everything will resume nicely.

Actually, I kinda do have the authority, Akroma. Where is yours to tell me that I cannot shut down my game, precisely? However blunt and irritated that sounds, the point is that you do NOT have the authority to tell me where I stand. I may not exercise my right, but I am STILL GM.


I'm upset, but for completely different reasons than this game, which only upset me when I read it NOW. I've been planning to either split the thread or end it for a while. I'm having second guesses.

I know. What mainly irritates me is that I'm being told that I have no authority in my own game, which is, for obvious reasons, dead wrong, and other factors which in all fairness I shouldn't be taking out on you guys.

I am perfectly ready to take on a co-GM and a plot reviewer, or at least two plot reviewers; fair enough. I have a lot of shit going on over here as it is and not having my computer to do it with is very taxing. I haven't been good at all; fair point, hence why I'm taking on anyone who wants to.

Oh yeah, I would get angry about that too, except that I'm a little surprised you consider RotMG really 'yours'. I mean, most of the start was Scapheap's, and most of the world lore probably belongs to Rag...

the lore of this game is a gigantic patchwork of tons of stuff that I am sure nobody, including elf, as completely memorized - and nobody has been so kind to write it down :P

trying to look through all plots and making sure it is consistent with already established lore is actually no easy task - reminder I had to contact almost half of the players to get my plot properly in line with established lore, and it's still not a perfect fit


also Elf, GM or not, the game is running mostly independant from you. If you declared it over, it would probably keep running, like that self-sustaining fission sun thing in spiderman 2.
and if you actually contacted Toady to close the thread, now that would be a bit of a spoilsport, wouldn't it? I mean, what's the point in closing the thread if you can just walk away and not GM it? Just to force everyone to play in your new thread instead?


Analogy: Someone founds a nation, leaves the nation mostly independant and when he finds the nation is not running the way he wants to, declares the nation over? Things will just keep running. Don't be angyr Elf, be proud, ROTMG is the most popular and active game around - why exactly would you even want it to be forcefully closed?

Hence why we need to start writing it down. Get a google doc or github or something, start making a list of everything established about the world. :P

Also, he could, but he can't start us from starting our own threads. He can close the thread, but not delete its contents. Emp's lists, for instance, will still remain.

Actually, not really. Most of the world lore is altered real-life lore; Rag owns the Creation shit. I handle Persona/Superpowers/real mythology. Emp handles Fate/Wall Street. Scap owns the Layars- hence why I haven't done much with them, as he didn't give me any lore about them at the end when he handed it over. Everyone else owns bits and pieces, but Emp, Rag and I own most of the lore.

I consider it mine because I got it and I kinda feel guilty that I didn't turn it into a huge, Einsteinian Roulette-style game, only with magical girls and more idealism, hence why I want to end it and start over.

Because, frankly, implying that I have no authority whatsoever on my game is going to irritate me. Yes, I am proud. Running this game was- and is- an honor to do. However, sometimes, being ticked off when shit like this happens is going to happen. No, I am probably not going to shut down this thread any time soon- if I do, it will be because I am either terminally ill and therefore cannot run it any longer, or when everyone leaves it- which I hope they don't.

I said that. But really, what's the point? If Elf doesn't like how things are going in the thread, and feels he is no longer enjoying it, he could simply leave it alone, let someone else take over the GMing and open a new thread.
Forcefully closing this thread to make sure nobody else can enjoy the game any longer just because he isn't, so everyone has to migrate to the new thread seems like a very aggressive way of going about this.


That being said, I didn't say that you had no authority whatsoever. Yours is word from god that solves every problem here. My point is, that you can't just simply close the thread and expect everyone to just accept that. Just because you no longer want to play doesn't mean you can just make everyone else forcefully quit. Well, technicaly you *can* because forum mechanics, but seriously, why would you? So many people have invested so much time in this, any the sheer length of the plot queue serves to show how much more time and thought they have still in store for this game. Why ruin everyones fun by closing it?

In case you guys might be thinking; I'm not shutting the game down. I've been toying with the idea, but seeing the game grow this big makes it altogether too sad for me to. However, I am going to try and take my responsibilities more seriously. I do warn you about the difficulties of running it with large posts of plot and turnposts without a computer, again, but I will try.

Twi is now one of the official lore managers. PM me if you want to be the second.

As for lore experts, Emp, Rag, and I have the lore on Fate/Twilight, Creation/Void, and Persona/Gods/Superpowers/anything else respectively. Thus, we are your designated loremasters. Kj is also for IRIS which isn't too defined anyway.

@Akroma When did I say I didn't want to play? I said I was getting irritated. I've already established, twice, that I won't end this game except if everyone leaves. Therefore, providing various arguments towards keeping the game alive is irrelevant when I've decided I will anyway.

Before I return to normal business and gaming, I'd like to apologise. Yes, I know I've left the game neglected. I probably shouldn't have; Projeck and Twi in particular deserve to chew me out for being an idiot. I am going to try to keep a firmer grip on the game than I have been for a while. My reaction was stupid, even if some of the measures could be questionably considered anywhere but bad. For that, I am sorry.

That's basically what I'm trying to do in a sense. I know that there's this universe, which is split into Creation and  Void as well as any sub-dimensions (for example, Rag has mentioned a place called the Dreaming that Marie would come from if she came from this universe but she clearly didn't.

- where does it get it's money
- how does it interact with the various lawgivers of the world? What authority does IRIS have in different nations, and is IRIS not recognised in some places?
- internal structure, to keep it simple, boss, bosses of various departments, what do these departments do
- how do existing characters fit into IRIS.

Well, he does have the authority to close the threads, forcing us to make new ones and copy all our stuff over there. Without being able to quote/modify anything.

I am not sure why

Hell if I know.

So seriously both of you, Elf, Twi, stop being so upset. Despite your complaints, everything is running just fine. All we need to do is get the plot queue into proper order and everything will resume nicely.

Probably.

Dude, all these folders. Just, put them all into a few sorting folders and then put them in your library (the folder button right next to the start button)
then grab all those text files and put them into a bay12 folder of some sort

Sounds like good--
*checks own desktop, which includes...seven unfinished/abandoned/forgotten projects in nine files, a couple school assignments, several games (only one of which I've been playing), and some assorted programs I haven't used in a while*
--um. You shouldn't criticize other peoples' organizational styles?

About the flowchart, btw, I was thinking along the terms of a dichotomous key to classify the various forces, characters and worlds at work within the RotMG canon. If that makes sense. Also as a way of outlining. :P

*shrug*

I'm going to assume, for the sake of narrative, that it's not a 100% effective thing, but narrows the area down to a city so that we don't have to search all of Bulgaria. And, of course, if the kidnappers were actually smart, they would have done the teleportation spell in an abandoned warehouse or something and moved Ashley to some other location in another city. Or country. Or used another teleportation circle or two and, you get where I going with this. So, no, it's not that I magically know where Ashley is, I magically know where the kidnappers teleported from/to, and that's a whole world of difference.

EDIT:

Really, it's more like I have a stupidly Arcana check than anything else. I'm not learning anything that the GM/people won't tell me in the first place.

Post by: Akroma on March 10, 2014, 12:49:40 pm

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you, the cosmos.

Spoiler: The cosmos is an onion (click to show/hide)

(http://i58.tinypic.com/riui4w.png)

Note that the layer explanation falls a bit short, as you hardly actually reach the above or below plane of existance simply by moving up - though in the olden days, when people tried to reach the lands of the dead by strapping themselves to a flying machine and going straight up, thats usualy where they ended up in :P .
Rather, consider each Sphere equal in size, overlapping eachother, with the exception of the core, which is said to too small to be described, and the number 15, which encompasses all native parallel universes.


now then, some explanations.


1.The core of the cosmos, Weltenherz, the foundation of creation. It alone holds all laws of nature, physics, the flow of time, the entire package that sets the rules of the universe. These laws were set by Shysm'Caes at the beginning of creation, and have not been tinkered with since. Legend sais, it no longer *can* be tinkered with, by no force within or outside of creation. This place is Order and Law, and radiates outwards into the outer layers of the cosmos - the further you are from the core, the less strict the laws of physics become, this is why magic is possible in higher spheres, until the laws of physics finaly land in hell where they hardly matter anymore.
This core, unless objected, is the origin of time and is only inhabited by two entities - the guardian over time, who prevents time being tinkered with in any way he can. And since he alone is not bound to the rules of time, he usualy prevents tinkering with time long before the tinkering even happens, which is why higher spheres do not even know he exists. The second entity is the smith of souls. The core is the origin of souls, and said smith forms the raw energy into small, human appropriate sizes. Gods usualy send their orders to this guy whenever they wish to grant anything a soul, and he has always delivered, each and every one unique and to specification of whatever it is meant for - it remains unknown if souls can ever run out.

2.The origin of the 6 elements. ((may be adjusted to however many elements this universe recognises as an element)). No magic is possible in this sphere, apart from manipulation of the respective element. This sphere houses elementals, and is popular for summonings. The *spikes* are their citadels, and it is said that their deepest dungeons reach all the way to the core, while their highest towers reach all the way into the mortal realm. This sphere is segmented into 6 (or however many) parts that are governed by the elemental lords, primordeal beings that are in charge of keeping the elements in balance. Many have sought to enter this place in hopes of gaining greater power over their favoured element. They may find that entering that contains nothing but fire, beings made of fire that eat and breath fire was not their brightest idea.

3.The citadel of water. Located in the mariana trench

4.The citadel of ice. Located somewhere in the ice of the northpole

5.The citadel of earth. Located under the Himalayan Mountains.

6. The citadel of fire. Location unknown, legends say that due to the nature of fire, no permanent citadel can be erected. Every, or most volcanic eruption is a sign of the citadel relocating. Note that earth does not include ground made of dead plant matter.

7. The citadel of wood, located in the amazonian rainforest. Note that wood is just a collective term for all organic matter.

8. The citadel of air, in constant movement around the atmosphere.

9. The mortal realm, contains the universe, planets and all the sorta stuff that one would expect from the mortal realm.

10. World Bubbles. This is usualy what happens whenever some great wizard tries to make his own pocket dimension, though the biggest are mostly natural occuring. Annabelles steampunk cube thing and Lunettes Arthurian world (probably?) fall into this category.

11. I forgot an 11. God damnit!

12. Purgatory, Limbo. A sphere very close to the mortal realm, and yet so far away. This place is literaly litered with scales, balances, courtrooms and dices, for various gods and saints and whatnot to decide wether you should go to heaven, hell, be reincarnated, and whatever other options there are. As long as a soul has not been judged yet it remains here and could probably be summoned with a seance and stuff like that, which becomes a whole lot more difficult once it has moved on. Some souls remain here, becoming ghosts. Because the wall between this sphere and the mortal realm is so thin, they can still somewhat interact with us. This realm also is host to a plethora of mystical beings. Magic is much easier to do here.

13. The realm of the gods and the paradises. This is where gods hang out when they are not meddling with mortals, and where they sent their favourite souls to get their eternal reward. As the description of "paradise" explains, here you can do everything you like - as rules of physics hardly apply anymore.

14. The hells, where all the souls go that are not going elsewhere, as per description of GWG.

15. The wall of stars. This is a wall out of sheer energy, needed to seperate the void from creation. Without it, the cosmos would simply dissolve into the eternal emptiness of the void. This raw energy is furthest removed from reality as it is possible within creation - in short, this is the sphere of Mana. Almost all magic that is not centered on the manipulation of an element is done by syphoning energy from this sphere and putting it to use. Few humans, or few entities in general have ever ventured into here, apart from gods, demons and perhaps the most powerful dragons. Magic in here comes as natural as breathing - will and imagination quickly becomes action.
Each of the *stars* one can observe in here is a parellel cosmos that follows (mostly) the same laws as ours, but a different line of events. Most likely, the Mirrorverse falls into this category, but that can not be said for certain.
It is a very philosophical question which is the main reality - if there even is one.
Note, if you are into astrology, it's *these* stars you have to look at to get an accurate view into future events.

16.The void, that extents eternaly into all directions. It is so empty that even it contains the entirety of creation, multiple other creations, and then even some more stuff that you could travel through it for eternity and not meet a single thing. Currently the only known way to get out of reality into the void or viceversa is through the void gate.

17. Other creations. So far away and so fundamentaly different from this creation that not even legends about them exist. They are not simply different in that hot snow falls upwards, they have an entirely different set pf physics - and possibly no concept of temperature or direction.

18. The tower of Belkelel, one of the 12 uncreated.
"Not a hint of life can be found in Dar'Klajids domain, yet in the towers that betray every law of nature and architecture, there is movement manifold. The damned toil in their clockwork bodies, working on constructs and tools that turn against viewer, visitor and user. And the will of the spoiler of the craft brings movement where there is no life, life where there is no warmth, breath where there is no breath, and the rocks rise and walk to earth. Connected to tubes and wires, cogs and levers is the unliving machinery that is called Belkelel, and it knows not sleep and it knows not rest." -Francis of Madrit, walker behind the stars.

19. The soulmill. A structure within the void that serves the purpose of destroying souls - an act so heavily against the rules of creation that there is no god who knows how to do that. They can maybe tinker with souls a bit, but destroying them is literaly ending the existance of a part of existance, making the soulmill perhaps the single most destructive force that has been observed. The sheer energy released in the process can be used as pure potential, usualy simply expanding the void, occasionaly to increase the power of one of it's denizens, very rarely to create a new entity. Much more rarely, so rarely that it is rumored a myth, the released potential is also gathered to create a new creation. Eventually, almost all souls that end up in the void for too long will end between it's grindstones. Most gods aren't exactly thrilled by it's existance, as it has been proven that even gods can and have been destroyed by this phenomenon

Post by: USEC_OFFICER on March 10, 2014, 12:55:34 pm

So the Wall of Stars isn't a wall but a blob of universes that work together to keep existence existing? Am I understanding that correctly?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 10, 2014, 12:58:44 pm

nah, it's just that even if all parallel universes have their own core-to-hell layers, they all have this wall in common. If you stand in there, it's literaly just a sphere that seemingly only has a radius of a few miles, with mostly identical universes floating around in it, surrounded by a wall of sheer energy. for the most part, insurmountable. there is no such thing as air in there, just sheer Mana

edit:

anyway, everyone try and see how their various stuff can be fitted into this model. This is now open source, so feel free to add to it, use stuff for plots, bastardize and with some negotiation, change things.

twi was angry at elf because elf didn't pay attention to the plot queue, so projecks plot was delayed. he was...very direct. Elf promised to be better. Emp however didn't like that arguement.


thats the gist of it

See you. Sometime or other, probably in that other RP. That is, when I get enough time to figure out how explain Takahiro's sudden coma and figure out the fuck he was doing the whole time.

Yeah, I figured I may as well leave while I can still laugh and snark rather than risk raging and whatnot. I disliked the actions of certain people, yet I do not dislike those people nor disrespect their opinions. Plus doing so raises my overall productivity, seeing as it takes less time to make the occasional comment than RP'ing and having to read up a large quantity of posts.

@Elf screwed up the plot roster and rather than sorting it out in an organized manner, there was a sudden push for a hostile takeover and removal of the GM.

No, more in a case where the sentiment was to remove @Elf and get someone else or somesuch. No one's tried to take over a plot, yet. Though one had to be aborted. At around this point I realized something, namely that this shit happens far too often in this RP and that it was not worth the trouble.

I was about to point out that this is just an RP, not a very cohesive one either and that getting so emotional over it and expending so much time on it was pointless, but I noticed that I was wasting time on it as well, time that in hindsight, I should not have wasted. Hence I figured, I could go quit, spend more time studying and ignore all this faffing about.

you should think about some more boundary stuff, like what gods can do and what not, also, wether or not there is a hierarchy - many gods have the same domain, surely there'd be rivalries, or maybe some gods are simply one and the same entity, worshipped by different cultures


maybe there is stuff like primordeal overgods, who never leave the heavens, and actually do god stuff, rather than minor gods who walk around earth and waste their time making movies?

Alucard's plot has some void stuff in it, which I already cleared up with Proj.

A small dimension that rests in the Void where numerous void entities reside (Bartimaeus for example). Pretty much the basis of Alucard's magic, but also limits his teleportation abilities.

well, since Alucard is a void researcher, and Barti an actual creature from the void, I suppose it's not far of a stretch that he has at least some information on the lore I am about to bring in. I'll PM a low truth-content version of the lore to you tomorrowish

Anansi and Loki have a rivalry. I haven't had time to show it yet. As do Loki and Lucifer. And Anansi and Coyote, and Brer Rabbit.

There ARE Overgods like that, i.e Ouranos, Amatsu-Mikaboshi (although he's more Void-aligned, like Set), Apep, and other gods, which I am working on.

Magic
Bartimaeus has an incredibly good memory, as he can shapeshift into someone after a single glance. He has trouble shapeshifting into detailed smaller things (as demonstrated when he attempted to shapeshift into a Fingerling), and can't shapeshift into subcellular things.
He also cannot shapeshift into large things such as dragons without a really large amount of magic.
Unlike Alucard, his teleportation skills aren't limited. Alucard's teleportation is only limited because he actually needs Bartimaeus to do so, and that he has phasing access to the Other Place.
Aside from shapeshifting into other creatures, he can take the form as objects and plants too. He can shapeshift into the magic sword 'Voidcrosser' which Alucard uses at times.

Personality
Bartimaeus is often humorous and extroverted, quite unlike Alucard who rarely jokes around and is very secretive. Despite his extrovertedness, he keeps his and Alucard's secrets to themselves and will often remind Alucard to keep quiet. He and Alucard share a faint master-servant relationship alongside their partnership, as Alucard often tells Bartimaeus to bring him his wine or to haul stuff from his storage vault in an IRIS complex.
He has been with Alucard for most of Alucard's life, and can form major synergy with their attacks when combined. Their partnership is mutual, as Bartimaeus needs Alucard to enter the material world and Alucard needs Bartimaeus to perform many of his powerful attacks (eg. the inferno, the surge, and others).

TLDR; Bartimaeus has trouble shapeshifting into tiny things and larger things, and is humorous and extroverted except when it comes to Alucard's secrets.

Well, I more meant these types of games. Nothing happens in them.
And yes I know there's plots and such in them, but from my experience they're ignored by half the cast and never really have any lasting effect on the participants anyway.

And I'm probably going to encourage ones that do. If you do join anyway, you probably might have a chance of changing the setting; such is the strange way we run shit in RotMG-land.

Yes, but the trouble being that the majority have a lot of stake in this one.


And you didn't try; YOU DID blow up the house. They fixed it after the plot finished.

Post by: Akroma on March 10, 2014, 06:13:50 pm

well, and because the house was blown up, we relocated to a castle in france. That counts as a permanent effect


Also, I am designing at least some of my plots to actively add into other players chars lore (of course with their permission), so those might have an effect - unless these players chose to ignroe the stuff, which I guess they may.

He has trouble shapeshifting into tiny and huge things, has trouble imitating someone's voice, cannot conceal his magic wavelength, has a tendency to omit reproductive organs in his forms, he jokes quite a lot, he's secretive like Alucard but still very extroverted and playful.

The other reason I haven't rebooted is that I DO want to develop some of my other characters, and rebooting would just erase my chances of doing that.

Yay for co-GMing!

Also, a mission thread could be in order, so people don't get a bunch of posts about stuff that won't relate to them, and room for bigger posts without people having to have those between RP.

And an idea for a new setting could be Annabelle's homeland.

Oh.
He sometimes takes pleasure from watching other's pain (it comes from being an eldritch being, of course) but will only cause pain when necessary. He is rarely angry, but if he is, he often acts cold. He also takes things overboard (as demonstrated when he pretended to die when Shade struck him from behind with a weak attack). He will also do pretty much anything Alucard says, if you consider that negative.

Well, we could run a Gaiden story thread, about different magic users (or ones who never get focus). No missions unless we really need it, and one of the co-GMs could run it.

I let me frustration get the best of me, and I acted irrationally where it wasn't needed. Hope we can move past this.

That comment is of little to no relevance. You merely had an opinion on the matter, one whose delivery I disagreed with. I see my resignation as partially fueled by a difference in opinion rather than any direct form of hostility.

Post by: Akroma on March 11, 2014, 06:43:24 am

oh yes, yes, yes.


The ICARUS figma from the second season (this one (http://www.tomopop.com/ul/22076-header%20drossel.jpg)) arrived. And I am absolutely mindblown.

The main body is just SO much more flexible than the season one body. That is because neck, waist, elbow and knees are all double-joints (two joints directly behind the other, the knee in the image shows that very well) that allow a much much more wide range of motion. Unlike with the first one, all joints on her body are perfectly movable and not stiff at all (some may remember that the season one body had incredibly stiff shoulders, that needed a lot of loosening before they could be moved withour risking to snap the entire arm off). All the more I am happy with this one, no fears here.

Spoiler: example for the range of motion (click to show/hide)

(http://i57.tinypic.com/2n6f402.jpg)

Compared to the ICARUS 2.0 model, the first one is a clunky heap of scrap metal.

She comes with a few accessories, that is an alternate hairstyle with glasses, that is absolutely lovey, however, a bit tedious to assemble - it comes in 5 seperate parts. It's super cute though. Alongside comes a cape. I remember talking to Poltifar which version he liked better, he just pointed at the cape and asked me that was a dumb question. Thats how cool the cape is. The only accessory that really has me worried is also the coolest, the astronomy unit (http://www.gundammodelkits.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/79eb60b1s.jpg). You see those 6 blue things? Those are all on seperate balljoints so you can align them seperately. Well, those are SUPER MEGA STIFF. I've been working on making them plyable for almost an hour under warm water, and only got one of them to move - meanwhile two of them nearly snapped off. I'll secure them with some superglue later and won't be trying to loosen them up, I guess. Standard configuration works fine.

That being said, I am currently considering wether or not I should change a few details to the ICARUS plot and run it before my actual mainplot. It'd be super hard to wait for the main plot to finaly come around, then wait again for more plots and then finaly get to the ICARUS plot...

nah, it's just that even if all parallel universes have their own core-to-hell layers, they all have this wall in common. If you stand in there, it's literaly just a sphere that seemingly only has a radius of a few miles, with mostly identical universes floating around in it, surrounded by a wall of sheer energy. for the most part, insurmountable. there is no such thing as air in there, just sheer Mana

edit:

anyway, everyone try and see how their various stuff can be fitted into this model. This is now open source, so feel free to add to it, use stuff for plots, bastardize and with some negotiation, change things.

Well looking at that, I would have to say I likey, and it allows the existence of the non RotMG worlds, which is good cause otherwise where did my character come from. Also I like the figurine

nobody has to apologize for anything I think. All in all even when some people got angry, it all went down mostly in a civil way, and it seems some of the stuff just needed to be said - as a result, Elf has promised to take his duties more seriously, Twi is now organizing the lore (hehe, good luck), and most people feel better about the game


Emp and Cado said that them quitting is not based on the arguement, but more on a large pile of events that slowly kept piling up - perhaps if they had spoken out earlier like Twi, it could have been avoided. Who knows.

Maybe. If anyone had spoken out sooner, that might have changed things much earlier. Too little, too late. I hope at least Cado reconsiders leaving anyway, but my message a page or two back stands.

Also, the Mission thread will be up as soon as the current mission is over, and the Gaiden thread will go up as soon as either Projeck or Private are ready to assume their posts as co-GM.

a) either the citadels have more than just a single tower, or eath might actually be of some importance in the cosmos. I mean, it's where Shysm'Caes hangs out the whole time. Possibly a mix of both options.


b) shut up, I forgot 11, so what.


c) it's not actually *stars*. Thanks for reading with enough attention to notice that the *stars* in this sphere of existance are different from the stars in the mortal realm. so stop putting your unbased anger in friggin italics. Follow the posts right after this, for a question being asked and answered and notice, there are no actual stars in the walls of stars.


d) The universe is eternal and pretty empty. The void is eternal, and just a tad bit emptier. I guess one could call it balanced, but from what I got from Rag, Void might actually be bigger.


e) this is a working model, open to discussion, addition and alteration. While Elf technicaly approved it, so it's as good as canon, I am well aware that Elfs approval alone doesn't mean it's actually complete or not accidentaly contradicting things. Instead of raging, either shut up or add something constructive. For starters, begin with reading.


f) this is also the spoiler-less version. Only few humans actually are aware of this cosmos model. Yes, it is a model. Nobody besides Shysm'Caes can actually confirm or unconfirm any of this. Most chars are likely unaware, except maybe Chars like Ashley or Alucard and whomever else might know stuff like that. Sen possibly.

Post by: Akroma on March 13, 2014, 02:30:26 pm

I am using lore here from my own setting that I run, where stuff like the starwall is *only* described in flavour texts. This cosmos model is something I have never written down in OOC texts, but entirely in flavour texts (those who received the void lore will get what I mean). In that setting, one of the main sources for information of the makeup of the cosmos is a book written by an astronomer/philosoph. How else would he have named it? When naming stuff that is within creation, and described by beings from inside creation, I usualy name stuff right after how they look. Wall of Stars, Veil of Stars, Starnyagard as the elves say (my elves speak norse, because why not). I only make up bogus words for names that are not rooted in in reality, and even for those I have wordly names. Flowery descriptions are quite common. The only other naming convention I have is in scifi-games I run, where instead of flowery descriptions, things are usualy named after whatever scientist wanted to be remembered for discovering that shit, in this case you may also refer to the wall of stars as the van Brouwers Edge.

and since you are the only one who actually got confused and subsequently angry about it being named that way, I'll gladly continue to call it wall of stars, because damnit, it's my favourite name. Like Elf has his fanfics, I have my lore flavour texts. I just recently sent Elf roughly 2500 words of nothing but flavour texts, and those were only very hastily translated into english because I was growing tired. The original is more than thrice as long.

They're called stars because they look like stars. Pretty simple.

Also, Akroma does mention a lot about how they aren't stars at all in her letter (which I will not quote because it is frankly a pain in the ass to find it) and she even said it a couple of times here. I myself don't see any problem at all in the Wall of Stars and I'm pretty sure unless USEC and Twi have complaints, it's canon.

Well, Wall of stars is how humans call it, and even then it's only one of the names humans have for it. That wall has existed longer than the concept of namings things. Gods may have their own name for it, just as dragons likely have their own name for it. Feel welcome GWG to come up with your own draconic and/or demonic names for the layer of mana that surrounds the cosmos like a shell contains a nut.


I mean "the void" is just one of many names too, I would assume, and is no more correct than wall of stars

Allow me to clarify, this isn't about the actual lore, this is about the actual name?

Yes, Wall of Star is horridly inaccurate.

...As is the copiously filled definitely not void-like 'void'.

Along with 'Fate' which only tangentially meets the usual definition of its namesake.

If the other two were allowed to be named as thus, why not also the Wall of Stars? Or should the Wall of Stars be renamed the Wall of Star-like things, Fate be renamed Void and Void renamed quantum mechanical crossovery stuff?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 15, 2014, 04:55:26 am

the wall of stars is also definetly not part of the void. The name originates from a flavour source, one of the oldest "complete" and "accurate" descriptions of the make up of the cosmos, the Codex Dimensionis, by Sir Francis of Madrid, astronomer, philosopher, occultist and most importantly, researcher of the makeup of the universe, ca. 1600. He spend most of the later half of his life with research into teleportation, portals, magical gates, etc and for many of the spheres, was one of the first humans (that we know of) who succesfully entered all of the places mentioned in the description apart from the worlds core and alternate universes, which he only speculated might exist, and returned alive to write about it. As an astronomer, you can imagine his reaction when he first made it into the hull of the cosmos, whatever you may call it, and found it to be black, and filled with glowing balls of light.


"By the gods, it's full of stars."


And thus the foundation for the naming was made. Not having the tools and knowledge at hand to know any better, he lived and died in the firm believe that the stars we see in the night-sky were projections of what he found in that part of the cosmos.


Of course the entire cosmos model is about as accurate as the model of chemistry that shows atoms as different colored balls with sticks between them. Which is to say, for humans, it's entirely sufficent. If gods would try to explain the actual state of affairs, even Will would have problems wrapping his mind around it.

Probably a bit late, but as I only just have calmed down enough to read some of the other OOC posts thus I have not actually seen this post until now, I should point out that it cannot. @Elf and I already discussed how to stop all time distortion aside from dilating it through gravity and/or c fraction speeds which would still only go forwards and never backwards. Attempts to travel backwards in time do not work.
The past is a concept, not a location it can never e traveled to under any circumstances.
Attempts to travel forwards without the assistance of relativity slams you into Fate.

Title: Emp speaks in a manner that dissociates themselves from humanity again
Post by: Empiricist on March 15, 2014, 06:05:22 am

I never understood why humanity prefers viewing time as some sort of axis rather than a mere concept developed in response to our universe's (macroscopically at least) causality-driven nature.

One perceives a present and remembers a past as the arrangement of the past dictates the events of the presents, hence, remembering the present and perceiving the past would not be as useful, nor would perceiving two presents. The future is simply what is anticipated.

The past and future may very much be considered to be mere concepts. I once again bring up the Omphalos Hypothesis, as after all, it is essentially impossible to disprove due to it coming under probatio diabolica. If the past is but an illusion fabricated to make history seem longer than it truly is, then can one travel to it? If the answer is yes, then an issue arises: as, for all we know, our past may be a mere delusion, and should we truly be so deluded, the validity of our other perceptions come into question, what difference does our false past have over the false past of a madman? Does one person's past take precedence over anothers? What right do we have to say that there is even a chance for us to return to what is little more than a concept.

The present is little more than an infinitesimal instant, perhaps we are entombed within this notion of the past. We may all have been fabricated a nanosecond ago. Not just a nanosecond ago from this post, but one nanosecond from now. It is ALWAYS now. Now is the present.

Right now, the universe may have been created five minutes ago. Five minutes from now, this will all be memory, hence once again, the universe may have been created five minutes before five minutes from now.

Can one truly travel to a place that does not exist?

It is not simply a matter of paradoxes and whatnot, it is the uncertainty of how long everything truly has existed for and whether a mere notion is bound to anything concrete.

Likewise, the future does not necessarily exist, it could after all, be a notion of what is to come rather than what will occur rather than something with such certainty that one may travel to it.

The way I see it, Time isn't a line or paths that a person will take, its the impossibility of something happening at a position in the universe that something else should happen in. For example, I decide that I don't want to take a sip of my sprite, but I still end up doing it. It's impossible for me to not take a drink of my sprite, but I said that I wouldn't and I did drink some. If that makes any sense.

a) I've changed tons of things. I spent months of sending PMs back and forth to make sure I am not contradicting canon too much. The very fact that hell exists as a seperate place shows that, normaly it would be identical to the void.
b) your "in-depth analysis" is persistently ignoring both me and Elf constantly telling that you are misunderstanding the whole thing and calling it stupid just because of that. How about you just shut up about it?

a. So...you called the Wall of Stars that because it's what you called it for the other setting, but you've made far more radical changes from that setting elsewhere. Gotcha.
b. That one part was that. And you weren't "constantly telling that" until after I made the analysis, so of course I ignored it. Excuse me for my lack of precognition.

The way I look at time is that it is the dimension we see stuff changing in.
Imagine Flatland for a sec. You know, A. Square and such? A. walks south in a straight line. However, in the dimension of time A. Square over that period looks like a...slanted rectangular prism thingy.
I'm having trouble explaining this.

just because you don't find the name to be an accurate description enough doesn't warrant that it immediatly gets changed. Basicaly what Emp said. Also, star is a perfectly valid descriptive metaphor for things that look like stars. They are big, shiny balls of light, floating in what visualy looks very similar to space. They just happen to not have much in common with actual stars beside their visuals. And in the end, Wall of Stars sounds better than Wall of vaguealy star-like-in-appearance unidentified objects. What's next, you going to rage over celebrities being refered to as stars? Or the other way around, complaining that a wall made of celebrities would do a poor job at holding the cosmos together?

The Moon also looks like a star. It's a shiny ball of light. So do the planets and asteroids. Should we call all those stars, too?

If we're going to call it an inaccurate name, what's the point of having a descriptive name at all?

the moon is much bigger than a star, and as it can be seen in the actual stars, won't be confused for stars

as for planets and asteroids, well guess what, they actually have been described as wandering and falling stars, respectively.

Why a descriptive but not 100% accurate name? Well, firstly, as Emp said earlier. Void is not empty, wallstreet is neither a street nor a wall nor in anyway connected to the actual wallstreet, Fate falls utterly short of describing the name, and secondly, I already explained several times, it's flavour text for crying out loud. Refer to an earlier post, when an astronomer enters this plane, he is certainly not going to call it "wall of sparkly spheres". Nor would he suddenly make up a mumbojumbo name and call it Ablublubu.

the point is simply flavour. we are talking about the edge of the cosmos here, a bit of poetic sense is not uncalled for.

But fine, have it your way, the new Canon name is Wall of GWGs irritation.

Poetic sense that doesn't completely go against what it is. What's wrong with "Wall of Light" or "The Edge of the World" or something poetic but also accurate?

Post by: Akroma on March 15, 2014, 10:47:32 am

it's not an arguement you ignorant asshole, there is no right and wrong about this in any sense, I stated several times that I chose the name simply because I think it's a nice name, that fits nicely into the lore, and is purposefully chosen over accurate names. You continueing to call it stupid is offensive, and if I didn't have respect for Elf and this game continueing, I'd be raging rather hard. Yes right now I am moderating myself. This is stuff I dedicated so much time on, and you just keep "deconstructing the arguement" as if it was actually something broken that needs fixing, just because you don't like it? STOP. Don't do that. I've not been stomping all over the (and there are many) small things I find rather stupid and inconsistent with you dragon lore either, instead I even added to it constructively (black and violet dragons, light and darkness as elements, my idea, coming as a result on me wondering and PMing GWG about why there were no black dragons). And here you are, rubbing your opinion nazi dong all over such a tiny, unimportant and utterly inconsequential detail. And I was even trying to cooperate at first, offering you alternative names, and encouraging you to come up with your own names. but nope, you chose to just continue to ridicule the one name given. Nobody else in the thread gives a damn on how it's called, and seriously, that's the right thing to do.


I mean, seriously, this thread is a big group project. People add lore left and right (under the condition that Elf approves of it), and continue to do so almost every week, latest example, suddenly there's Steampunk Enhanced monstergirls from (I assume) space landing in all capitals of the world. And you know why this patchwork of a thread works? Because people here are welcoming to various kinds of new lore, to the point where almost every player has contributed to it. Because we are not assholes. So please, STOP being such an unwelcoming nagger. I don't tell you how to run hell, I don't tell you how to run dragons, and you know why, because hey, Your freaking avatar is the great golden dragon. I don't have to think twice to assume that the entire dragon lore is something you enjoy, and have put thought in, and where your imagination might trail off to on long train rides to pass the time. I'd feel like an asshole if I told you that it was stupid. The same goes to the stuff anyone else is adding. Rather than insulting it at the first moment I don't like it, I'd much rather learn more about it. Eventhough some of the lores in this game are seriously...questionable. I'd never spent so much time and effort on whatever it is even is that you are trying to accomplish here.


Right from the beginning of your nagging, I immediatly said why yes, this place has many names from different origins, feel free to add your own if the current selection does not appeal to you. But nope, you kept going on about how stupid and inaccurate the name was, so there I went, explaining exactly who and when and why it was named that way.


But nope, you keep going and going.


WHY?


Seriously?


Because your names are so much better than mine? Why do you even CARE? I already said, pick whatever name you like and it's canon. For fucks sake.


Also, because 7 new replies have been posted since I started writing this, have the best pic I have of my cat. Yes, it is the best pic. She hates the camera for some reason, it#s hard to get a pic. But come on, dem vampire teeth :3

1. It can actually happen due to void

Probably a bit late, but as I only just have calmed down enough to read some of the other OOC posts thus I have not actually seen this post until now, I should point out that it cannot. @Elf and I already discussed how to stop all time distortion aside from dilating it through gravity and/or c fraction speeds which would still only go forwards and never backwards. Attempts to travel backwards in time do not work.
The past is a concept, not a location it can never e traveled to under any circumstances.
Attempts to travel forwards without the assistance of relativity slams you into Fate.

Oh, she isn't going to time travel. She can just 'commit suicide' and erase herself from history. According to Rag, at least.

It's weird void shit. I don't know specifically on a deeper understanding of how it would work. But technically, she's not even supposed to exist due to the void not really reviving people like her. She's one of the very very few exceptions, and so if she decides to just think herself as not existing, she won't. She would have never interacted with anyone of the group and they would not remember a thing about her. And all of the stuff that happened because of Ashley, of course, wouldn't have happened.

IF you decide to completely restart, can I do a scene with Ashley causing time shenanigans because:
1. It can actually happen due to void

Probably a bit late, but as I only just have calmed down enough to read some of the other OOC posts thus I have not actually seen this post until now, I should point out that it cannot. @Elf and I already discussed how to stop all time distortion aside from dilating it through gravity and/or c fraction speeds which would still only go forwards and never backwards. Attempts to travel backwards in time do not work.
The past is a concept, not a location it can never e traveled to under any circumstances.
Attempts to travel forwards without the assistance of relativity slams you into Fate.

Oh, she isn't going to time travel. She can just 'commit suicide' and erase herself from history. According to Rag, at least.

Yeah that seems rather possible. I presume that rather than truly changing the past, it simply perturbs everyone's recollection of it? That is, no one will rememer her, or at least not directly acknowledge her presence?

---

@GWG, if accurate naming is of such importance, should we rename Creation as Order, Void as Chaos, Fate as Void or Decay? Seeing as Void seems to have quite a it of stuff in it and its emphasis on rule-breaking over actual emptiness makes it more suited for a Order-Chaos system then a Creation-Destruction system considering that people are making stuff out of Void along with its lack of actual emptiness. Fate is more of an emptiness or false-vacuum decay thing after all (and actually was originally named void, its manifestation name was changed to distortion as @Scapheap had a different idea of void). If so, that could actually clear up some confusion...

I suppose under such a scheme, the Wall of Stars would require a different name yet retain a poetic presence. Celestial Phantasmagoria? Wall of Scintillations? What name would you suggest that retains or has a greater poetic sense whilst still retaining accuracy?

Post by: Empiricist on March 15, 2014, 02:58:16 pm

Hell, if you wanted to, seeing as Void/Chaos seems to be ruled by some sort of solipsist quantum mechanics, you could have the following interaction which makes each one require the other:

Quantum Mechanics is a manifestation of Chaos' influence upon Order. The seemingly non-deterministic properties are actually aspects of what occurs within the Chaos, somewhat diluted within Order. Without this influence, not even atoms could exist as electrons would spiral catastrophically into nuclei, no longer bound by their chaotic uncertainty (normally I'd address this as Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, but that risks forming the mental image of Walter White as a quantum physicist).

Waveform Collapse is a manifestation of Order's influence upon Chaos. Very much like the inner workings of a quantum computer, the superposition of the Chaos must be collapsed to provide actual results as otherwise it remains a meaningless mass of inconsequential actions, entire existences relegated to meaninglessness as whatever they perform, all it does is inflate the size of the simultaneous states. External and internal observers collapse these, forcing a result to occur so that the cycle may begin anew.

Yeah, if we change Creation-Void to Order-Chaos, it would allow more interactions and reduce confusion.

It may be simplified as:

Order needs some Chaos in its inner workings to continue running.

Chaos needs Order-based observation in its inner workings to actually do shit.

At least it doesn't raise questions about why one member of a two-party system is a universal rule-breaker, or why void entities are creating things.

Indeed. Not as important, since
A. the names aren't terribly wrong, compared to "The Wall of Things Which Don't Exist Anywhere Near It".
B. the names were correct until recently, and
C. the names have a good amount of Grandfather Clause behind them.

Or, Akroma could name the lights and call it the Wall of [That].

Quote from: Akroma on March 15, 2014, 04:55:26 am

the wall of stars is also definetly not part of the void. The name originates from a flavour source, one of the oldest "complete" and "accurate" descriptions of the make up of the cosmos, the Codex Dimensionis, by Sir Francis of Madrid, astronomer, philosopher, occultist and most importantly, researcher of the makeup of the universe, ca. 1600. He spend most of the later half of his life with research into teleportation, portals, magical gates, etc and for many of the spheres, was one of the first humans (that we know of) who succesfully entered all of the places mentioned in the description apart from the worlds core and alternate universes, which he only speculated might exist, and returned alive to write about it. As an astronomer, you can imagine his reaction when he first made it into the hull of the cosmos, whatever you may call it, and found it to be black, and filled with glowing balls of light.


"By the gods, it's full of stars."


And thus the foundation for the naming was made. Not having the tools and knowledge at hand to know any better, he lived and died in the firm believe that the stars we see in the night-sky were projections of what he found in that part of the cosmos.


Of course the entire cosmos model is about as accurate as the model of chemistry that shows atoms as different colored balls with sticks between them. Which is to say, for humans, it's entirely sufficent. If gods would try to explain the actual state of affairs, even Will would have problems wrapping his mind around it.

Akroma just explained it. Also, a typical mortal, around the time this guy found it, would NOT name those things 'planets', so it'd probably be called the 'Wall of Stars'.

Also, this is just the name used by those who learn more about the magic of the world from the Codex Dimensionis, which is the most common among humans or magical beings that often dwell among humans. Will has no reason at all to have ever heared of it, or have any idea how about the cosmos model at all. Angel as a demon likely uses an entirely different name. The dragons likely use an entirely different name. Yup, the name does not even have any ingame consequences for you. If you just don't like it OOC, well, boohoo.

Hell, you even caused my first forum game to die because you wouldn't stop fighting with one of the players over a stupid little thing. Yeah, Someone has a different opinion than you. So what? Everyone's opinions differ. It's called being human. If all you do is fight about opinions, what does that make you?

Also, that ignorant asshole remark was directed towards you, not Elf. Wording is still important and you obviously chose to ignore it. Please read the entire sentence and it's accompanying sentences before you make assumptions again:

Quote from: Akroma on March 15, 2014, 10:47:32 am

it's not an arguement you ignorant asshole, there is no right and wrong about this in any sense, I stated several times that I chose the name simply because I think it's a nice name, that fits nicely into the lore, and is purposefully chosen over accurate names. You continueing to call it stupid is offensive, and if I didn't have respect for Elf and this game continueing, I'd be raging rather hard.

Notice how Akroma said that If she didn't have any respect for Elf and the game continuing that she would rage hard? That sentence itself says that she was talking to you and not Elf. Makes you saying she called elf the ignorant asshole kinda look silly doesn't it?

Point is:

Elf said take it to the PM and both you and me completely ignored that. Both of us should be quite ashamed for our stupidity. And yes, I did call myself stupid. Fair is fair. I'm off for the night because arguing is stupid. Yeah again, ashamed for arguing.

No, they aren't. They were named for that, but saying they are that is like saying that I am a minor Biblical figure. Or my grandfather, if you look at my middle name.
And, again, "star" is still used to mean what it originally meant. "Cobalt" isn't used to refer to kobolds (which, let's face it, aren't usually referred to by people other than low-level D&D players, DF players, and sometimes those who study ancient Germanic cultures), people never use "atomos" to mean "indivisible," and "star" still refers to what they always did.

Again, no it isn't. Especially since--as has been repeatedly stated--they are not stars. Saying that the Wall of Stars is based around the idea that it is a bunch of stars is (slightly) more like saying that I'm based on the idea that I am an ancient saint, and also a girl.

1. Juvenile retort? No, that was an expression of irritation. The juvenile part was Akroma using ad hominem when Elf was calling our argument an argument.
2.

Because it hasn't come up IC, and by the time it did it would be too late to change (unlike the time I brought it up in, ie now).

And also because I haven't been to the IC thread since my charging cord died.

I'll put it this way, it's even more petty and overblown than the other lore and character decision arguments. For starters, its about what something is called, not what it is.

Squid? What do you mean it's a squid? Can't you see that it's a parrot? So what if it doesn't have feathers and has a mass of tentacles, that just means that it's an aquatic parrot.

The final GM decision is that it is called the Wall of Stars, by humans, specifically Earth-bound humans, of the magical persuasion.


Feel free to quote that. I am not changing my stance; I am rather fed up with this argument over something that frankly, won't affect anyone; I would understand if Will's backstory was changed by the Wall, but I really don't otherwise.


To put the magical world's development into perspective, Personas developed twenty odd years ago. The last biggest breakthrough was in the 1500-1600s with the rise of occultists, Ars Goetia and shit, and before that, 1000-1100s with the rise of medieval alchemists.

Last warning, take it to the PMs or get the thread locked. It doesn't matter as regardless of how the argument goes I am not changing it. Also, while you're at it, both of you, I would consider taking a break; if the game is really stressing you out that badly.

I wonder... would the virgin sacrifices used to bind Demons Run have been a representation of the trends at the time? Had it been in the 1000-1100s, would they have instead chucked random, vaguely magical materials at her whilst trying to use the economic power of philosopher's stones? Were it the 1500-1600s would they have tried to conjure infernal power to restrain her? In the later nineties, would they have tried shoving her into a television and having her bicker with her shadow whilst they gathered a bunch of psychiatrists of counsel the two?

Change the latter to 'waited until midnight and then shoved her into a tower full of manifestations of humanity's negative emotions' and that might actually be hilarious enough to be canon.

There's always trends in magic, usualy regionaly I'd reckon. I mean, native americans summoned spirtitual totem animals to enhance their body with abilities corresponding to that animal (or so I assume). I'd reckon nobody in the USA really cares for that kinda magic anymore.

My fault, probably. I meant to phrase it as 'all magical humans who are aware of it and received education about it.

Even without the amendment, who is ACTUALLY a magical human who would logically refer to it as 'Wall of Stars'? Anima and Iolodammus. That's practically it.

Likely Alucard knows of it, being a void researcher, he'd have to stumble across the codex dimensionis eventually.




That being said, it's not improbable that there are also humans who learned about it from other sources, and thus call it by a different name. they are just an exception, rather than the norm

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Finally, we have far more non-magical humans (Kyle, Samson), or magical non-humans who learnt about it elsewhere (Sen, ICARUS, Alexander), or people who probably wouldn't know about it/care (Will, Albrecht, Izzy, Richard) than magical humans who would logically know about it (Anima).

Let me amend my statement.

Any magical human, from this dimension, who formally learnt about it as being called the 'Wall of Stars', CAN call it the Wall of Stars. If anyone learnt it by any other name, they can call it that too. I will not enforce this rule; it is more of a guideline. There, it isn't mandatory to call it the Wall of Stars, neither am I forcing it upon everyone. This solution, I hope, is satisfactory and that we can put this behind us already.

It does make sense though, it deters people from flooding some servers and leaving others desolate, as well as, arguably more importantly, preventing large fluctuations of server activity from people switching as they feel like it, not to mention that, assuming the default server is the regional one, covering the cost of issues that may arise from someone using a more distant server.

I'll have a look to see where to cram it in later, but for the most part;
Yggdrasil's roots count as a different plane
The nine worlds also count as different planes
Olympus is within the plane of the gods.
The Collective Unconscious (origin of Shadows, Personas and etc) is a separate place
I'll add more as I recall more about the various mythologies involved.

Eh, to be fair, they're all the way across Europe, and going into Asia Minor. Which will take awhile in and of itself. I mean, that's what is supposed to happen when you travel places and fight. You miss things.

Projeck you are indeed bullshitting me. I have used Mana to increase my Dex by 25 points. Thus my attack roll was 93+25+25, and th subsequent dodge roll 48+25+25

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 17, 2014, 05:13:41 am

doesn't matter, the damage would have still only been 15+25+ whatever projeck rolls for damage, so he would have likely survived, and for the subsequent counter-hit, the +25 would not have mattered anyway ((this is why I say we should roll on d50s, rather than 100. Spending 50 mana on dex and 50 on strength is a *massive* use of mana (just look at the spell categories given by elf). it's literaly 1/3rd of ICARUS mana in a single blow. But with the deviation of a d100, it hardly even matters at all. Against a d50, it actually does what it's supposed to do, that is, make stats not arbitrary. On a d100, all that matters is the d100, the stats hardly make an impact.


so yeah, the outcome is the same, no retcon is needed, but it started with Hainuwele and continues with ICARUS, my attacks get constantly screwed up by various GMs in the enemies favour, and that is 'really' pissing me off

I'd like to know that too, for Bartimaeus.

do you ever do anything besides telling other peoples stuff stupid?

Yes. My options are limited at the moment since I'm out of the loop and most of the non-stupid stuff has little I can say about it.

Meme dressing up like a super hero and suddenly kicking ass would be hilarious. You said it yourself, this is a lighthearted magical girl game. No need to stick strictly to realism

Logic is not just realism.
It would be hilarious, yes, but it wouldn't make any sense.

Question: How big of a creature can a demon shapeshift into?

Mass is conserved. So, really, it's limited by how much of a feast they engage in beforehand.


Standard request for what the hell is going on.

Nope. That's what happens when people say stuff without GM approval. Anti-void binds void. Wall Street binds void.

There probably are ways, just that less people bother. After all, few people have television abilities, there are only three entities that even use Fate and Wall Street entities are generally safe if you bother reading their contracts properly and don't evade taxes too much.

Judging by his stats, he's probably up, but doing something else that's more important. So... maybe brewing coffee wasn't the best idea.

Also, spring vacation is a thing, but I'm pretty sure that it varies from university to university and country to country. Mine is already long gone.

well, if Projeck actually wants for everyone involved to give their orders, of course it will. Things can be sped up by saying something like 50% of currently in-combat players (not characters, players) must have posted before a turn can occur, the characters of the current asleep or busy players default to auto "generic punch!", unless another default option has been chosen

Meme planted several bombs at the houses of the ASMRA executives, to serve as a distraction. That way we drew away enemy forces from the HQ before we started the attack. So far, that worked out fine, we have met no opposition.


Btw Projeck, why were there so many civilians in that building? We were attacking at 2 am. Is that normal office time for ASMRA?

Danke. And just a general overall.

Well... Where to start... The game was originally ran by Scapheap and involved magic returning to earth or something along those lines, and the people (mostly teenagers) that were affected by it. That game was very plot focused and ended with the PCs single-handedly fending off an alien invasion. Then Elf created this thread, and the game began to revolve more around RP and relationships since the plot was finished and nothing else surfaced. But then, a few months ago the game really began to take off as a bunch of new players joined, and characters to go with them. And plots have also reemerged too since everyone is so involved in the game that players have stepped forward to run their own plots and ideas.

In-game we've just rescued a PC who was kidnapped by an evil Arabic scientific organization that was studying magic, and before that we had a plot involving dragons that's on standby for now, and earlier was a romp through a Arthurian-esque dimension, and before that angels attacked, and so on and so forth. And a fair amount of drama and RP thrown into the mix too.

Note that the above summary should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's the best I could come up with.

Dude, feel free to go with whatever you want. Kyle is... Kyle, so don't worry about copying his powers/abilities. Plus it'll probably come out differently than what Kyle does.

You only stop magic when it touches so. So, a mage could always fry you by heating up the air around you. Or enchanting stones to chuck themselves at you at high speeds. Or create clouds of poisonous gas, etc, etc. Lots of ways.

Less useful than it sounds.
Take an example. My original character, Angel, has the ability to create and control fire. Pretty simple--you can't get burned by magical fire. But, you can be burned by superheated air. And Nuriel is pretty much the single least flexible character.
It would help against direct enchantments, curses, and idiots, but that's about it.

Or impaling them upon blades of OOC-criticism that increase in power the more aspects of realism they break? Not just physics but also logic, expected behavior of civilians in present circumstances, economics, legal factors, etc.

Wait, what happens if it hits the Fate components of a bracelet? Seeing as its a false-vacuum decay, wouldn't making it act realistically cause it to expand at c-faction speeds and kill everyone? Also, what would maximum intensity do? Acknowledge someone as a fictional character and revert them to text and concept?

Would it also negate stats and have actions based on logic? That is, is someone's physical build shouldn't let them have that much strength, their effective strength is lowered to that value?

How about just a field where in which @Xantalos gets to choose what the fuck happens? That could be amusing. Especially when every single ird turns into a parrot seeing as they have feathers and beaks.

As for lack of godtier characters.....well, technically the only 'god-tier' characters there are are Dragon!Stella, anyone short of Abraxas Anima controls, and Kyle in a mecha. Nobody really has any god-like powers, short of Anima (true naming) and Nodoka (Void gate shenanigans). And Marie, but it's Marie and your mind makes it real.

All of which are likely more vulnerable to OOC and reality shivs.

Hmm... could be a rather useful character to have around... if a plot starts turning into a disaster, the OOC criticism should be enough to power up their attacks for a clean kill of the relevant parties.

Basically, the gods she controls have a special set of stats when they act as summons. Their REAL stats are nonexistent. No other gods have stats yet.

Essentially; Loki has summon stats while he's controlled by Anima, Thor has none (yet).

In theory, if they studied magic a VERY long time and shit. And then managed to get into their good graces. And fulfilled a ton of other conditions.

Think Kyle would be at least middle-aged if he started studying how to do it now and didn't bother taking too much breaks.

Dipole, and you're doing science wrong if you expect that. It's like saying that a sandwich has no value because it can't grant wishes.

Rozaliya Maksimov, AKA Rose, is a new character. She joined the party for plot reasons.

My plan is to run little mini-plots that only take a day or two inbetween the regular plots (with the current GM's permission, of course). That way, when my turn comes up in the plot queue, I can make something short and memorable that ties the mini-plots together in a semi-satisfactory way. Or at least that's the plan.

Right now, Kyle doesn't believe in souls, despite one of his closest allies being one- this sparked off a discussion about spirits and shit.

Also, sure. But religions don't have effects. I mean, whether you understand a car or not hardly impacts your ability to operate it in day-to-day life. However, SOMEONE had to understand it and build it. Clearly, the engineering of cars must be at least true enough to work.

Also, Marie is trying to force the scientific method on ICARUS in regards to souls and ICARUS is being like 'no'. 'course, marie herself is too busy being a psychology expert to be an expert on how souls work, or at least how they worked back home.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 23, 2014, 04:38:26 pm

and nope, she doesn't. She is happy with her answer, yes she has a soul, and that's the end of it. There is literaly no way investing time in investigating a different view on souls that would improve the situation. ICARUS does not require any deeper information on the matter, so it's spiritual efficency. Just believe in what makes you happy, and don't try to convince anybody else of it, nor be convinced of something else by anybody else. And bam, you are happy. You could say she is dodging a major bullet by doing so. That kinda topic habitualy drives philosophers to alcoholism, if not suicide

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Post by: Akroma on March 23, 2014, 04:46:46 pm

yup.

if ICARUS invested actual thought into what Marie was saying, she might come to the conclusion that she does not have a soul, and that would unsettle her. Since it has no advantage of knowing that you have no soul, and since there is no downside to believing that you have a soul eventhough you might not have one, the overall effect is simply entirely removing a gigantic source of worry and existential dread that comes along with that question. ICARUS was basicaly just going (LALALA I CANT HEAR YOU) internaly the entire time, because she does not want to give Marie the chance to even instill a hint of a doubt in her mind.

and you gotta admit, it's kind of a mean thing to do and make someone question wether or not they have a soul, especially when that person is one of the first sentient AIs that currently exist and spends most her nights, unable to sleep, with trying to not be crushed by the question of what the hell she actually is. Massively touchy question. Just looke at what that got HILDA.

If it wasn't for the no canon character rule, Richard would have shut them both up by referring to robots that have Personas, which kinda sets precedent for robots to have souls/be sentient.

Hey, Marie doesn't see it that way. There are otherwise perfectly normal people in her world who don't have souls. Not having magic is annoying, but they get by.

yeah, but without a soul, ICARUS would literaly just be a thing. A simulation of a mind, even less of a mind than HILDA, who at least got this void stuff going on where you seemingly never have a soul. But ICARUS has no relation to the void whatsoever.

while performing the soul removal, he finds out that he is actually a soul-masochist and stains himself. From his dead body, he fathers his own child, which for obvious reasons is 100% identical geneticaly. Since the soul is still so close and can not distinguish between the two bodies, Kyles soul just enters baby kyle.

A object that does everything that a soul does traditionally. So, it would go to an afterlife, be able to be traded with a demon, and be the sole thing making something sentient.

And that last one is already disproven.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 23, 2014, 05:39:07 pm

for starters, we would need a definition of what a soul actually is


so, defining characteristics that seem to be universialy accepted


- humans are born with one
- when the body dies, the soul is what moves into the afterlife
- appearantly immortal
- and much more?




I suppose a good start would be finding a volunteer who gets into an absolutely magicaly sealed room that can not be observed from the outside and Kyle and the volunteer make up a codeword to prove their identities.


then Kyle kills that person, and makes a trip into the afterlife to search if that person ended up in there, and through the codeword confirm it really is that person.


assuming it#s one of the afterlives where you keep your memory

How is it disproven?
And anyways...well...how do you want proof for the others? And if it needs to be tradeable with demons, why not ask one of the resident demons? I'm sure Sen could give mind-numbing levels of detail on the nature of souls in the legal system.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 23, 2014, 06:25:49 pm

Okay, for 2 persons you need

- 2 pieces of lamb hip, roughly 250g each (or just about 3-4 cm thick - dont hesitate to ask your butcher. Tell him you want some lamb that you can butterfly and then roll. these guys know what you want better than you do.)
- 6 small potatoes
- 6 cocktail tomatos
- 20-ish green beans
- 1 lemon
- garlic clove
- 4 artichoke hearts, in oil
- handful basil
- handful flatleaf parsley
- handful thyme
- 2 teaspoons of sweet mustard
- salt, pepper, sugar
- 2meters of cooking string

okay, start with some preparations, best to get them all done, else the timing can become a bit stressfull. preheat oven to 180°C (circulation, 200°C upper/lower heat), and get a pot of water for the beans boiling, add a bit of salt. Remove the stalks from the herbs and chop that stuff fine. the finer the better. Cut the ends of the beans, half the potatoes. Grate the zest of the lemon (the yellow outer part, NOT the bitter white part under it), and squeeze the juice. Peel and fiiinely chop the garlic. Half the cocktail tomatoes, quarter the artichoke hearts - keep the oil. Before heating anything, lets finish the stuff that can just stand for a while. That's the chopping part done, keep everything in neat little piles, unto the next step.

the really easy part, the vinnegrette. Add 2-ish spoons of the artichoke oil, the same amount of lemon juice, half of the lemon zest, the garlic, a spoon of sugar, a teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste into a large bowl, mix that shit. whoo, you made a vinegrette. You are still not sure how many ns and ts are in that word but oh well, I am too lazy to check.

now, something more tricky, we move unto the meat. We are going to butterfly it, fancy chef term for making that shit flatter and bigger. With a *really* sharp knife, cut into the side of the meat in the middle, and cut it aaaaaallmost all the way through, like a book. Literaly turning a - into a < make sure the end is not too thin, it should be about as thick as the flaps. Open the book up, letter side up (that is, the side where you cut), put some clingfilm over it, and with a pan, pound it nice and flat. You wanna soften the meat up and make it nice and big, but beware not to overwork it, make it about 0.5-1cm thick, evenly. on the upside, spread the mustard, and half of the chopped herbs, we will use the rest later. Roll it up carefully, and then just wrap the string around them until you are secure that they wont fall apart. 1 meter for each is a lot, so you will have no problems.

okay, now the cooking part, from here watch a bit out with the timing.

- potatoes: heat oil in a pan (be generous with it) salt and pepper the potatoes and put them in cut side down. Give them a little shake to make sure they dont stick, leave them for 3 minutes. then put them into the oven, for 20 minutes

- beans: when the potates have been in the oven for 5 minutes boil in the salted water for 10 minutes, take out, rinse with cold water, salt and pepper, leave them for now

- meat: when the potatoes have been in the oven for 7 minutes, put the meat into the still hot pan, and fry for 3 minutes (1 minute each side, work it roughly like a triangle), then put the pan (if possible, else just put them in somehow) into the oven, and leave for 10 minutes, meat and potatoes should come out at the same time.

once that is all done, take it all out, take the meat out of the pan, but dont tinker with it yet! meat need to rest to keep it from being dry.
Take the roasting juices out of the pan, into the vinegrete, take the potatoes, tomatos, artichokes and put them in the vinegrete, mix well.

mix the rest of the zest with the rest of the herbs, cut the string from the meat and roll it in the herbs for a nice coating. well, done. Hurrah, you're a chef now.

@GWG Samson's character sheet location (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg4811487#msg4811487)

He is a completely mundane human with 4 anti-magic pistols and a ghost girl possessing his shadow named shade, who he killed by accident. He also has the non-magical ability to either double or triple his stats at the cost of damaging that specific stats bodypart.

Well, it's true. ICARUS is lovably sarcastic and... robotic, and her motivations/desires are pretty clear and relatable. I dunno. Better than a lot of the other characters in the game.

If anyone is wondering about the note, It's my way of saying that I'm putting Sen on hold until Samson and Shade get some backstory in and until my turn at plot happens. So don't worry about sen. She is fine. for now.

rather, I bother to write about her motivations. most players don't really bother about that, they just react to what others do without ever explaining why, so no matter wether there is an actual motivation behind the action, it will inevitably be lost when people fail to interpret that action the way it was intended, or simply is not interpreted at all. ICARUS is a rather flat character, actually, there is nothing about her that is not chlichee.

As a fan of giant robot shows, I obviously don't mind cliches. :P

I dunno, I still like her. And I think that the reason that nobody talks about their motivations is because we haven't found a non-awkward way of talking about them. How many times do you say "I'm going to do X because of Y" in normal, everyday conversation?

Even though she is one of the most respected heroes and such on the planet. And has access to not only a rich family and some rich friends, but also other friends with powers of indeterminate financial value (e.g, Will's ability to play the stock market, Selina's making stuff, etc).

On the note of Will, someone let me know if you're trying to follow the quest thingy. I've lost track of the IC thread, and while I intend to try and catch up I haven't yet.

Yes, one way or another it will not last forever, be it the caprices of the heart tearing them asunder, the circumpolar misericorde of death being cut loose, or sanctification into a signifier of greater prominence. However, I am rather certain no one wants their relationship to fall to the first category because they decided to go follow a stranger's advice they obtained on the internet.

She's probably just trying to get a rise out of you. Ignore it. Also, check your school handbook or whatever for a clause about the rules for physical contact; chances are that poking other people is against the rules, a fact you can use to get her to stop (at least as long as it takes her to be assigned whatever punishment is appropriate).

Lunette gets into position inside her circles, takes a deep breath, and then waves her hands to start the procedure. Suddenly parts of the circle burst into flame, with different colours and intensities in different parts of the circles. Besides the initial burst of fire, the rest of the ritual is strangely quiet. Lunette simply mutters under her breath, making the appropriate hand gestures while Rose stands in her spot and looks around nervously. Finally the ritual ends as the fires on the circle all spurt out at once. Rose stands still for a split second, before collapsing face forward with a heavy thud. Lunette looks confused.

I dunno, the bracelets do at least automaticaly project visual feeds, which is 99% of the time being ignored, like you are just seeing it out of the corner of the eye. But ICARUS makes regular memory backups, so she might have caught something on tape that she just didn't pay any attention to priorly

Nobody knows what HYDRA is. ICARUS just kinda stumpled upon a few fragments of an email moving through the wire. Appearantly DARPA is involved

So last week was quite stressful and all these other weeks I've generally been either depressed or stressed also. It's spring break for me though so I guess I'll jump back in and do Mal stuff. Or I could make a new character since I've been playing too much SMT 4 and Persona haha. Iunno, whatever, someone just tell me to do something.

Feel free to go use a Persona character. :P I'll be busy writing since the combination of having an earlier tutorial than usual and having to rush out an update to keep to my schedule for fanfiction is irritating.

I could try still though, I'd have to pick a demon though haha... Wait, is Persona's in this setting more like the main character who can switch freely or is it like the npc's who just have one?

They already do. Literally, their niche is being near impossible to protect against as barely anyone has developed protection against it, they act as summons, and their disadvantage is being fairly limited in ability.

Of course, when said abilities are fairly useful and nuke things as it is....

From what was mentioned in Roller's Block and its associated RtD, they only have one ability or set of related abilities and have far more amusing names due to eing named after contemporary bands, songs, rappers and musicians. So basically, you could end up with someone summoning one named 50 Cent, or Skrillex, or Drive-by.

If you have a persona you can only have one, but you can travel through TVs and can gain a perk on level up. If you gain it after you have magic you can use it to boost said magic or do one other thing.

Then Persona users would be behind in power anyway; eventually it would reach a point where Persona users would pretty much be always weaker than magic users, which isn't how it's supposed to be.

At the moment, it's balanced so Persona users get a random ability, of which the pool is half debuffs/passives/buffs and are slightly more powerful, but fall hard to the things they're weak to and aren't as versatile as a magic user, Anima and certain cripplingly specialized mages notwithstanding.

so persona users get both stats and perks, and we can choose between them




also, Kyle is the only persona user, and I am not convinced that he is actually in any sense weaker than any of us. Through magical armor boosts, he has the highest statpool of all characters, which alone already amounts to much, then the physical resistance and the persona stuff, which appearantly among other stuff also includes healing abilities?

Yes, because Kyle switched from earlier magic use and actually crafted the armor long before using a Persona. Also, Kyle is about the only character who even has those; Richard, the other one, DOESN'T have such advantages, and no other character with a Persona would, unless they decided to start making armor themselves.

How about just limiting personae even more and replacing persona users with summoners who can have one of each (persona, id, stand, asset, Lesser Key of Solomon, meta-entity, etc)? Then reclassify Anima as one, so that one of her summons represents her fiscal future, another her facade, third her desire to [REDACTED] and die (not in any given order), a fourth named after a contemporary rapper/musician/song/band (or establish that there is a contemporary rapper/musician/song/band with the same name as one of her summons), Andras would obviously be the Lesser Key of Solomon summon and designate another as a meta-entity. Thus Kyle's sole summon at present is the Persona Merlin, Yuri's sole summon is the Meta-entity (seeing as it seems to be a reference to something) Emiya and they'd be able to get more.

Thus Kyle's sole summon at present is the Persona Merlin, Yuri's sole summon is the Meta-entity (seeing as it seems to be a reference to something) Emiya and they'd be able to get more.

If it wasn't for the fact that it would ruin the whole concept of Anima in the first place and unbalance the entire thing again, I would.

Also, this game is hardly about balance :P

I'd say some random perks for people would spice the thing up, make them all a bit more distinct mechanicaly. I doubt it would break out into class wars.

It nearly did anyway. I'm not nerfing Personas, but I AM willing to allow random perks on level up for anyone; granted, magic people would just get pure passives as they have a wider range of ability use than Personas and their skillset.

All it means is shadows refer to him as that. Or maybe he's just hearing things or trolling people. After all, if he controls shadows he could probably make them say whatever the fuck he wants.

Normal human, who happens to have a lot of gods, by the balls. Had to be an absolute asshole to get it, karma hit her in the face, hence why she's nice now. Oh, and her soul was rendered immortal because nobody wanted to take her for fear of having the gods she DID piss off hunt them down. I'll get to explaining the noodle incident that rendered her soul immortal when I can.

Well what I did was I took the basic idea of this character's backstory and what I figured their personality would be deep down and then I went through all 20 Arcanas and chose the ones I figured would fit him. The ones I decided on were Fortune, Death, Moon, and maaaaaaaaaybe Justice. Since I'll be making an original persona, I guess then I'll just take properties from those and work with them to give my persona characteristics.

Random side note: Duuuuuude Prometheus. Well... I guess he technically doesn't fit the Hermit perfectly well... BUT PROMETHUES MAN

Yeah, Fortune was sorta because he was going to be a lucky guy (and backstory reasons)
Death because backstory reasons
Moon was a less likely thing and I probably won't run that arcana
And Justice same as moon

If I roll Fortune I could use Fortuna since she is one of my favorites, Death I would either go original or Thanatos haha.

Oh, I would think that Freud would have just argued that pantomiming capping yourself in the head ought to summon your Id as the action has a connection to your Id's Death Drive and then you'd end up with a horrific mass representing your Id rather than a persona.

So after looking over what all of the Major Arcana actually mean as well as a decent amount of Persona's for examples I think I have an idea of what I would like to do.

At first what I was going to do earlier was make a normal character who's ability was summoning a singular persona binded to a single arcana and have that aid him in combat with spells and powers and stuff things.

Instead though, I figured why not make a character that won't fight himself in combat too much and has the Fool Arcana and the wild card ability? He'll start with some OC persona as his only one and then as the story progresses he'll get persona's and stuff that sorta symbolize the Fool's Journey (or I could attempt to do a S. Link type thing but I feel like that would end miserably/get way too op).

And then because I dig both the Evoker as well as the smashing of the tarot cards, I'll use Card Crush to switch Persona and then Evoker to summon. Not only does it sound awesome but as he goes through his journey he gets physical tarot cards that'll have art stuffs on them that he can admire to pass time :3

Uh what else do I need to cover..... Ummm.... Is everyone alright with this idea? I know you guys were getting into this whole "Personas are overpowered" thing earlier so if this isn't fine that's cool. Until then I guess I'll just wait it out and continue thinking of ideas for that OC Persona...

I'm doing this because I'll probably go write the future high school AU now as I've run dry for ideas for my fanfic.


Think "which currently romantically involved couples would most likely have kids that'd be in high school give or take in sixteen years"? I also plan on adjusting a fair bit of the ages.

Just about every character in a relationship (though not necessarily one per relationship) currently in existence assuming said relationship survives. Excepts perhaps four:

Ester-Tobias
-Views on having children unknown at present.
-Shadows may be used to form a child-equivalent instead. Quite possible seeing as Tobias has alchemy and Ester can control the second strongest fundamental force.

Will-Stella
-Views on having children unknown at present.

Camille-Richard
-Richard is chaste.

Abraxas-Cyrielle
-They might never even hook up.
-Cyrielle is no longer being used as a character either.
-Cyrielle doesn't want children.

He'd certainly father far more than every male character who is currently romantically involved (all of them save Albrecht, technically and Abraxas, also technically).

Does that mean Cyrielle would have had some sort of strange meta-physical Electra-complex if it wasn't for her asexuality?

Okay, so basically, in terms of the question, they're the "couple" (if they actually end up as one in the background) who are guaranteed to not have children then, essentially a control case I suppose.

Blossom and Nodoka don't have Kyle as their father.

Survival of the relationship is likely, unless one of them dies of course. As to if they have kids...if Stella wants a child, assuming an appropriate time (e.g, marriage and all that), Will would probably be willing to do so. Multiple children are unlikely. Adoption is also a possibility.
It all depends on what wolfchild says.

The killer was never found but Merrick seemed rather affected by the event, barely able to make coherent thoughts when brought in for questioning.

After the event, he moved away again to help his recovery. It took time, but eventually he was able to re-focus himself on his studies. Past his primary schooling, he decided to study abroad in France, finding it a good place forget about his past and move on.

Exactly. It's just right now I have no ideas for what I want to use haha. At first for awhile I was like "Oh, I'll use Icarus!

Yeah, one of the Ars Goetia people is more suitable, such as Andras or Annie or Wheatley (who share the title of Andromalius) seeing as they have command over enough legions to back up their orders.

Wait come to think of it, is being the queen of the void actually worth anything? Seeing as being a figure of authority that can set rules doesn't seem very useful your realm's denizens are designed to freely break virtually every single rule.

there are the uncreated, the inhabitors of the fringe where the void borders the cosmos as part of the lore I added.


and I can safely say when Ashley refers to herself as queen of the void and demands respect and authority, she is weeeeelcome to try. Because totaly, in the entire time the void exists, she is totaly the first and only girl that Void (the person) ever bothered to fuck and have a child with, riiiiiiiiiight?


void is similar to shysm'caes in that sense - he could go around and bitchslap everything in the void that in any way bothers him, but he doesn't. Kinda like the jesus thing. They nailed him to a cross and stabbed him, what, did their hands fall off their wrists?

I am just saying that Void gives not much of a fuck about stuff that goes on inside the void, just like Shism'Caes doesn't care much about what goes on inside creation. ((and that has been discussed with rag and is canon))


I would only assume that Void cares even less about what happens inside hell, which is inside creation

there are the uncreated, the inhabitors of the fringe where the void borders the cosmos as part of the lore I added.


and I can safely say when Ashley refers to herself as queen of the void and demands respect and authority, she is weeeeelcome to try. Because totaly, in the entire time the void exists, she is totaly the first and only girl that Void (the person) ever bothered to fuck and have a child with, riiiiiiiiiight?


void is similar to shysm'caes in that sense - he could go around and bitchslap everything in the void that in any way bothers him, but he doesn't. Kinda like the jesus thing. They nailed him to a cross and stabbed him, what, did their hands fall off their wrists?

She doesn't refer to herself as queen of the void... Nor does she demand respect and authority... And yes, she is the only girl Void has slept with or had a child with.

Yes. My request that you say what the hell you're actually doing and give NPCs multiple ways they might respond to characters in different situations is so unreasonable.

riiiiiiiiiiiight. Void has existed even longer than creation, heck he might be THE oldest entity since entities are a thing. When love and sex were invented, he was probably around, heck he might have had a hand in that invention. I fail to see why Ashley would, in all eternity, be the first girl he ever cared about. Even for a magical girl game that might be a bit sue-ish. Twilight has more reasonable romance than that.

funfact, before I rewrote parts of my lore to be more compatible with this setting, Belkelel was not associated with robots (it's not a modern setting anyway), but literaly with depravity, the worst kind of hedonism, mind-controle and yes, the most bloody kind of rape you can come up with. I am sure if I had kept at that, Void would find him/her to be...entertaining

Quote

"The realm of Belkelel is full of joy and satisfaction, how no human eye has ever seen it. There could never be a roman orgy that could relate. It is dream and intoxication and beauty and lust and greed and the taste of delicious blood. What you want, take it, for suffering and death of others is your greatest joy, and do to violence unto them, to take them against their will your greatest pleasure. The greatest ecstasy however is death, and here it can come to you as many times as you like, but it brings not fear but only greatest lust. The mistress is of beauty that knows no bounds, and reigns as the hostess of a never ending festival that knows no shortcomings, for whatever you want is yours for the taking, if you have earned her favour." - heared in constantinople, from a cult leader of Belkelel

You will understand why I changed that

Alright, I'll get started on writing backstory for Merrick today and maybe think of an initial persona for him.

She isn't the first 'voidwalker' if that's what you mean. Abraxas was around far longer, even during the first game.

If by that you mean 'human revived by the Void', you're right, unless anyone wishes to object.


And of course, most beings who learned how to couldn't naturally do it. So another point in Ashley's favour. Still, I doubt she's the first Voidwalker, as in 'first person to walk the void'.

Correct, except there were entities in the void that Void could have fallen in love with at any point in time not to mention any other voidwalking entities. Hence my argument that it was a consequence of Shys'm Caes deciding to dissolve whatever agreement they had in being aromantic.

Unless Void has a taste for young human/ex-human women, explaining why he hasn't had feelings for anyone; considering the most significant entities in the void are Abraxas, an asexual male, demons like Andras and Belphegor who only use the void as a form of transportation, Nyarlothep (he exists), and Set, who clearly isn't interested in sexual relations with him, among other people.

Which brings up questions about Shys'm Caes and various Void-Walkers.
And, of course, demons. Which can assume any form they like.

it's canon that other creations existed, so either there are probably more entities like shysm'caes out there, or caes made more than one creation. I guess this would be the latest one, and because of some new features with unforseen consequences, makes it difficult for caes to leave

Nope and nope. Twins aren't that uncommon, and neither are destroyer entities, but none of the creators are siblings with Caes and Void.

That isn't much of an explanation seeing as it fails to explain why Ashley go through.

the two I have in mind are:
A- he was unable to until Shhys'm Caes broke their vow and freed them both to form romantic relations.
B- he simply did it for the sole sake of gaining a fusion of Creation and Void, a Gatekeeper, to gain more control.

Or perhaps what a person experiences upon entering the void only collapses the waveform from their perspective, that is, Void remains in a superposition of banging everyone and everything but Ashley can only collapse the waveform into the one of her scenario.

Also, Emp, it could be that nobody really wanted to be with Void. That's also a thing.

I don't see a reason as to why this needs to be questioned, honestly. But, if I had to choose one of your options then it'd be A. But then again, why exactly are you deciding the Canon of a relationship between two characters that aren't yours?

yeah, but I mean the sheer amount of time that has passed makes it unlikely that she was the first one. possibly first human, but in no way queen of void material

Still somewhat likely, though.

Alright, nothing is working at all with this character so I think I'm just going to drop it for now. I'll pick him back up uh.... Sometime in the future when it stops stressing my the fuck out. Until then you all can lower your hype meters down from 0.1/11 to 0.0/11 and I'll just use Mal or something for the time being. Sorry...

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 28, 2014, 12:39:19 am

I think the main arguments are:
-Void could have nailed anyone he wanted prior to Ashley
-Ashley was the first human who could survive in void
-Other entities that could survive in void, either naturally (there are void entities after all) or through other means (such as Abraxas) have been around for a while
-Therefore unless there was some obligation not to until around the present time (@Emp's argument) or he was more into humans (@Elf and possibly @Twi's argument) or some other factor, he would have either nailed someone earlier (since void entities exist in superpositions, statistically speaking, there would be superpositions of void entities in states that would have acted exactly as Ashley does) or remain chaste.

Essentially, it's a tangential discussion seeing as regardless of what people conclude or agree on, Ashley knocked up Void and now there's Nodoka. Not too sure on the whole "Queen of Void" bit (not much of a queen without anyone with any obligation to obey her). With an additional mini-discussion on people making assumptions on Void's sexuality, I'd call it a tangent of a tangent, but seeing as those two would be the exact same thing mathematically thereby failing to convey the tangential relationship, I shall not.

Of course, the same stuff could apply to Shys'm Caes and Selina though with less superpositions and less arguments available.

I was using it more as a term for a type of entity that is, one such that has been killed and revived as an agent of Void. We really need to standardize these terms don't we?

Voidwalker -- A previous creation being, doomed to death in the void, only to be revived as one of Void's agents. They are capable of surviving in the void for long periods of time without the aid of other items, enchantments, or beings.

I was under the impression that Voidwalkers included anyone who "walks" through the "void".

I was using it more as a term for a type of entity that is, one such that has been killed and revived as an agent of Void. We really need to standardize these terms don't we?

Elf was using the other definition.
And with that specific of a definition, being the first Voidwalker doesn't mean much, especially for our current discussion.

I think KJ is more angry about you first saying it would be a small miniplot to explain his absence, and then turn it into a very drawn out, actually big plot. I mean, you already skipped the waiting line with the dragons, a still ongoing plot, and now this... :/




that being said, this is really a whole less entertaining than it could or should be. Your GMing style is just....very nondescriptive. It's hard to really get into it.

It was intended to be a miniplot, but...well...let's just say that letting Seham open the portal is going to draw it out, and that this isn't the first time complacency has extended it.

I think miniplots should be designed to not have too many complications. Just look back at the HILDA subplot. It went smoothly enough (mostly because Loki was there to deal with it), nevertheless it had major impact on HILDA, and noticable impact on Alucard, it also served incredibly well to slowly introduce a large chunk of lore without just dumping the entire thing. Great success.

Not only for structure of the plot, but also for the descriptiveness. I don't wanna masturbate my ego here, but I did get a PM from Nomad praising my writing.
Your hell and demon lord are pretty much just ASCII, where you hover over the D and the only description is "A demon". Especially places like hell and beings like demon deserve description. Make them touch all senses, to give them the imposing, dreadful feeling that hell deserves. Else there is no way KJ would ever be interested in what is going on.

In theory, Kyle could have learned a bit about what happened to Nuriel and followed up on it; if not, there's Will. Do a bit of recon, find out what happened, locate and confront Seham, and you're pretty much done.

Well, the demons look like pretty much whatever they want, and since they're not needing to be intimidating or anything they don't look like much. Besides, most of them are generic minions, and giving each of them specific appearances...
Seham could have probably used some work, though.

It's a movie about a boy in college who refuses to give up in arguing his case that God's not dead. There are also a few sup-plots about christain characters going through hard time though they ultimately do not end up very meaningfully resolved.

"You have merged with this mortals soul. If he dies, you can never return. You will go to hell, and be tormented until this creation is brought to an end. then you will cease. Unless...."

Okay, what's going on with Bartimaeus? Is he a demon or what?

Quote from: Sanure on March 29, 2014, 05:47:01 pm

Sen teleports back into the castle [25+83], probabably into the games room, "Thirty six thousand seven hundred forty nine copies of the Order of the True Cross' Guide to the True Demon's Name destroyed and dealt with and this is the last copy left to destroy," Sen says as she holds a white book with a red holy cross adorning the cover in her hand as she walks back to her room.

If Will was functional he would be so flipping out right now.
As would I. Destroying books? Not cool, Sen. Not cool. Especially not destroying all copies of a book.

They are merely people's interpretations of such, much like how psychiatric models of the human mind are as well. The latter are simply more specialized and researched to their role.

Sen is a demon GWG. Not all demons are inherently evil :P Some just have goals in mind. Also, Sen absorbed the last copy of the book. So not all copies are gone.

Well, Rachel sounded quite a bit like feral children. I'd hazard a guess that wildbow did her homework. From my knowledge of psychology, that result is pretty likely. No social skills? Little desire to interact with people? Attempts to circumvent these ending badly?

No offense, but until stated, your knowledge of psychology is rather dubious from my perspective. Furthermore, I doubt the hermit crab (because "hermit-crab with a closet for a shell" takes too long to type) was in the same conditions. Bullying and mild isolation do not seem to be factors that would make someone resemble a feral child.

@GWG

Either that or, y'know, you didn't bother asking Andras. He's got shit to do, unlike the other entities, so he can't be asked to read into every single thing you people do. I even reminded you about Andras and the two people who have Andromalius' title, before the crisis ended.

Selina was raised by a mother who was barely ever there and had no friends or anyone else to interact with for the first decade and a half or so of her life. Regardless of her personality, she's going to end up feral-ish from simple lack of human contact.

Sadly, quantum entanglement doesn't really work for communications. You can only entangle individual particles, and at that level of precision it's just hard to manipulate them enough for a clear message. Not to mention the difficulty  of separating the entangled particles and then transporting them. Oh, and you can't just entangle any two random particles, it has to be  ones created in the same instant, from the decomposition of another particle.

I want d50s, both for the hit rolls (dex, compared) and for the damage rolls (str+d50 damage, reduced by endurance. no roll, just endurance +0, else damage becomes too low and combat takes too long). On d50s, stats actually matter. On d100, they are a piss in the wind

Spoiler: Sanure's Plot overview (click to show/hide)

Okay, Basically without to many spoilers, Plot is about a cult of demon slayers and witch hunters (read: magic user killers) who are on a crusade to wipe out hell and all known demons of the world. They have devised a weapon capable of destroying hell (though it really would only just permanently separate it from earth) and a gateway into hell (which is still needing a power source).

Ah, had another question: For the bosses, what should their stat pool be to make it a fair enough fight against players?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: kj1225 on March 30, 2014, 05:34:19 pm

Maybe around the hundred point total mark.

Also, can this plot be subverted by Keith mind raping the leader?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on March 30, 2014, 05:37:12 pm

depends, single boss, or team of bosses?


a single boss with only a statpool of 100 is gonna be fucked within seconds


((also why would we stop them from destroying hell?))

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Sanure on March 30, 2014, 05:48:33 pm

No to mind raping the leader because I planned accordingly for each characters powers :/

I think I had a total of 7 bosses planned so 7

((Mostly because of destabilization and Because not all demons are inherently evil. Plus how often do you actually hear of a demon being evil and destroying towns and such, other than Sen and because she promised a lond dead man that she would kill his decendants. Can't really call her evil for keeping a promise :P))

They've got their work cut out for them, given the large numbers* and supernatural powers** of demons.
*I'm pretty sure there's only one Hell, for all worlds. Certainly all worlds in this universe.
**It's been established that, not only are all demons magically capable, their "powers" (Nuriel's fire, Seham's thug's lightning, Sen's book stuff) is just a specialization. And, of course, they're all good at shapeshifting.

Quote

They have devised a weapon capable of destroying hell (though it really would only just permanently separate it from earth) and a gateway into hell (which is still needing a power source).

Interesting. Especially since their gateway would kinda negate the purpose.
I'm heavily questioning the "permanently". Although...remember how I noted that Hell was in the "cracks" between Creation and the Void? Would the weapon also separate Creation from Void?

Depends on the ruleset and what players are going to be there.

for someone who values wisdom and knowledge over power, Seham certainly was impatient. Lucifers original plan was to give him advice and to *buy* Will from him. Instead, Seham now has a big bright target painted on his back. Seham fucked up, not Lucifer. Lucifer only said he'd go and see what he can do about getting Will back. Will is back. 100% success


also, Kyle is no longer with the main cast because his strategy to solving problems is to run away and pretend there are none. I mean, whatever happened to the part where he wanted to be a good father to Lunette? But nope, the moment he faces some critique, bam, all resolution is gone, and he abandons his family to live on the other end of the world. True, ICARUS coud have handled the whole thing a bit better, but seriously, Kyle is a terrible father

Lucifer, well-known for being truthful, as his title of "The Lord of Lies" and status as a demon indicates (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SarcasmMode).

1. Seham did not "fuck up" if Lucifer did not. He got what he wanted, and he'd rather be hunted but have that world than not have that world and be invaded anyways because he's a weak target.
2. Lucifer definitely dropped the ball. Sure, he did what he was asked to, but did he do it well?

Angel and Will vanished without a word. Nothing is wrong with that?

Will was recorded being beaten up and dragged into the woods. Nothing is wrong with that?!?

Kyle is unable to help his friend so of course he's a jerk for being greatly upset by it.
 And when has Kyle intentionally been a bad friend?
No one talked about the video and Kyle could care less about Will anyways.
And why would Angel need a reason to take off her bracelet?
Why does any of the cast need one?
It would be bad for her mental health.

Post by: Akroma on March 31, 2014, 09:55:38 am

Kyle said Lucifer is reasonable. And a reasonable person does not become lord of hell by being not trustworthy. Really, the only way to rise to such a point is through people skills. If anything, Lucifer rose to his rank because he has allies, and knows to keep them happy. Being trustworthy is a central part of that. Really, it's an essential leadership skill - making alliances. There is no being that could reasonably rule over hell through sheer force alone. The trick is not to be able to do everything, but knowing who can, and how to make them do it. If you make them do it by force, all you have done is make sure they never want to work for you again and want to fuck you up when they have the chance. Instead, reasonable approach. Lucifers entire empire is supported on favours for favours for favours. No demon would ever support Lucifers rule if it was not beneficial to them.


Of course, Seham was too paranoid to even listen to what Lucifer wanted to propose, and now has to deal with the consequences of his actions. And he's mighty optimistic to think he can conquer an entire world with just a couple of demons, even if that world is poorly developed. Note that Wills homeworld is also Stellas homeworld. There is an entire race of dragons who will not have any of his shit. If he really wants to conquer this world, he will need hundreds if not thousands of years, and must do so all the while demonic assassins want his head on a plate. He was barely able to even defend what he already had, that bitch is not conquering anything.


So yeah, for all intents and purposes, Seham and the plot around him is over. It requires no further intervention whatsoever. I guess the only thing that keeps stuff going is that people want to have a word with Nuriel, so oh well, let them have it I guess.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on March 31, 2014, 09:57:38 am

Said home world is also populated with supers. A LOT of supers. Who probably don't want their world conquered, either because of freedom or because they want to conquer it themselves.

And if Seham ever returns to Hell, and Andras finds out what he did, he'll have to deal with about five or six greater demons, with their legions of demons, descending upon him, in addition to Lucifer and his vassals.

Canonically, there is no singular Lord of Hell. Lucifer may be the most powerful demon in Hell, but there are demons who do not obey his rule.

Quote

No demon would ever support Lucifers rule if it was not beneficial to them.

1. What the hell (pun intended) makes you think that all demons support Lucifer? There are always dissidents, and I would have thought it was clear that Seham was not one of the Lucifer-lovers.
2. It's entirely possible to rule a large group of people who mostly do not support you, if they either support you more than anarchy or (more likely) are too disorganized and inter-hateful to band together, and any small rebellions are crushed by the might of the rest of the group.

Again, he was basically jump-starting the portal. Like...remember the ignition analogy? The car starts going forward because you ignited the engine, but you can make it go in reverse if the car is made right and applies a bit more energy.
That's about the best analogy I can come up with.

Neither. His...well...essence or something acted as a catalyst to start it and would allow it to be easily re-started if something went wrong. Continuing the car analogy, if you ripped the ignition out of the car, it could keep driving, but there would be some negative effects, and if you turned it off then you would need to push the car to get it moving again.
Note: I know little about cars.

He doesn't want to go to the Void, he wants to go to another world. The target world isn't "far" from Will's world, as these things are measured, but it is a lot different.

Should I have Merrick already know a spell like Mudo or Agi or something? Just asking.

((in case you need to ask, Mudo is a dark spell that has a low chance of insta-death (but its on like all of the lower leveled Death Arcana personas so thats my reasoning), and Agi is a low level fire spell that just sorta would be a thing that sorta thematically fit (also would help with giving him an Icarus Complex if I decided to give him one later as I had planned for maybe)))

maybe in the library?

I was thinking it was something he knew from having a persona for awhile. Sorta like how in SMT you get spells for leveling your demons except he got it for basically existing with Thanatos for so long. If anything honestly, I would rather have a low level spell that just did dark damage rather than a insta-death thing haha. Best case scenario would be that he has that low level dark spell and a low level fire one haha.

Alright, let me rephrase that.
Pretty much every work of fiction involving magic as an important element of plot has to make some kind of justification like that at some point. And quite frankly, I don't see why it's less of a leap of faith to have a young heroic former-supervillain-in-training dating a half-dragon being used by a demon to create a portal to a number world, than it is that said world isn't the world said person is from.

The issue is, in those other stories, other characters tend to care. If the OOC is anything to go by, the characters either don't care or have the wrong idea. I do not see why they HAVE to stop it, even if they do not, little would change. The issue with having "a young heroic former-supervillain-in-training dating a half-dragon being used by a demon to create a portal" is that, assuming I did not misread, he has already been recovered and with it much of the concern of the other characters.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 31, 2014, 08:16:22 pm

Nuriel, and hence Angel, are in the other world, because the former is working for Seham (she brought him Will) and the latter...kinda came with the package.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 31, 2014, 08:23:24 pm

I do not see a problem.

This is not an urgent matter, if they decide to go conquer another world, let them do so, Will can be used to generate another portal once negotiations with Hell and whatnot go through and send a superior army to crush their faction mid-conquest whilst they're preoccupied.

Then, Hell can take over (either fully or gain significant influence) that weakened world under the pretense of defending it from future assaults, they probably won't be too welcome, but they were the saviors and they did crush the invading faction. That conquest and vengeance seems to be ample incentive for gaining Hell's support.

There, a potential solution that minimizes player character involvement and crushes the entire faction.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 31, 2014, 08:28:32 pm

That plan doesn't let them take out their irritation on Seham or rescue Angel, which makes it likely to be rejected.

It also requires Will to be put piecemeal into the portal again, which you are unlikely to coerce him to do...

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 31, 2014, 08:39:58 pm

I'd say crushing him and his forces with the legions of Hell does take out their irritation. Nuriel could be coaxed into surrendering. Selina could draw parts of Will and take them out.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 31, 2014, 08:46:40 pm

Doing so personally is more cathartic, I'd imagine. Besides, they're already there.
I suppose, unless of course one of those demons kills her.
If I was Will, I'd be disturbed at Selina not taking a more direct route.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 31, 2014, 08:49:39 pm

The direct route is riskier.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 31, 2014, 08:53:58 pm

Well, it would have to be more or less direct.

You know why Seham didn't just harvest the organs from Will? Will still has to be attached to the organs for it to work. It's more his essence than his organs, really.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 31, 2014, 08:55:54 pm

So? Attach the false organs to Will and do it. Remove them afterwards. Doesn't even have to be Will. Stella or Lucas could work.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on March 31, 2014, 09:37:18 pm

I'm still pretty sure non-Will methods would be simpler and (less squicky). Returning to my metaphor about the car, Selina could make a different ignition system, or a golem that pushes the car, or a completely new engine, or a whole new car.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on March 31, 2014, 09:38:30 pm

Either way, my point is, they could just negotiate for Hell to intervene instead.

I just realized that Keith is going the way Kyle did. Optimistic that everyone liked him and wanted what was best for him... Considering Kyle is basically going to be a permanat side character (only slightly less so than Keith) because of how he was yelled at over the fact that he was skulking in his room when he failed his friend, which I'll add was to give the Ashley plot a small break, I can't wait to see how Icarus will break Keith mentally.

Hate and disappointment is a big difference. She gave Kyle a lecture *because* she cares. And I find it disappointing that the result of this is Kyle getting benched, instead of allowing Kyle some character development. He really needs to have a talk with Marie, come to terms with what happened and give it another go. Because certainly, Kyle does not seem loyal at all right now. Loyal characters try to endure :P

I will point out that all of what happened with the argument is Icarus' fault. She is the one who attacked Kyle's character for no reason, she's the one who thinks that he disappointed everyone when he only went into his room and cried for a while. She's the one who is the problem. So she should fix it.

Ashley was taken by an evil corporation who could stop her void powers, and other Magic users powers, and are then experimented on. After a bit of detective work, the group discovered her location and mounted an assualt with lots of bombs, fireworks, and Marie singing as a distraction while the attack team went in. When finally recovered, it seems Ashley's nutso side got transferred into the CEO who escaped.

During this time, ICARUS yelled a Kyle after he got sad and mopey. There was a LOT of it. Afterwards, ICARUS placed the final straw in yelling and Kyle left for a bit. Upon return, the arguments seem to be surfacing again and leaking into here.

Bartimaeus is depressed because he'll go to hell when Alucard dies, as their souls are linked. Being an entity of the void, he obviously doesn't belong in hell and is super uneasy about the thought of it. The only way he can return the the void is if Alucard were to sell his soul, which he doesn't want to do, tearing their friendship apart in turn.

demons and the uncreated are different, and it's a matter of pride for either of them to pronounce that difference.

Quote from: Akroma on April 01, 2014, 04:25:59 pm

The only demons that are still close to void entities are the very, very first demons, the first generation. Of course, hardly any of those remain. All other demons are born in creation

I'm pretty sure all demons are a mix of both.

------------


GWG for combat against mass numbers of low-grade enemies, like the humans Kyle is currently fighting, I'd suggest mass combat rules in a swarm system


they're not all individual humans with 5 stats in everything - that would take AGES to chew through.
Instead, make them into a swarm entity




swarm of weaklings/soldiers/trained soldiers:


str = 5/10/15 +number of enemies/numbers of enemiesx1.5/number of enemiesx/2
dex = 5/10/15 +number of enemies/numbers of enemiesx1.5/number of enemiesx/2 when attacking, however no bonus when defending
end = 5/10/15
mag = 5/10/15 +number of enemies/numbers of enemiesx1.5/number of enemiesx/2 (if they attack magicaly)
mind = 5/10/15


health = number of enemiesx5/numbers of enemiesx10/number of enemiesx/15

AoE attacks against swarms deal double damage

that was a large group of humans, or even weaker demons, can be represented in a properly in that supers can take care of several of them in a single round (also speeding things up), and are easy to hit because dex is not boosted on the defence part. however when there are many individuals, fighting them makes it very hard to not get hit by them (large dex while attacking) and you get hit very hard (large str). This goes down as their numbers go down

Well...consider Seham's knowledge of these people. He's pretty sure they want revenge, especially since they didn't try to contact him before just entering his territory. And, of course, they showed up armed and prepared for combat.

I'd say they've got a good reason to fight.

Still don't see why the demons think attacking a Marquis of Hell, who should be known to them and who disappeared, is a good idea, considering the contract on Seham's head.

Consider the opposite: They have no reason not to, since they're under the impression that people are going to try and kill them anyways.
Basically, they're defending themselves from people they know will kill them, until such time as their master has enough power that they can strike back.

(Also, what makes a "Marquis of Hell" different from any other demon lord?)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

It's kinda like the Prisoner's Dilemma in reverse. If any one tries to kill Seham, the rest will kill that one and get rewarded if they succeed. On the other hand, if no one kills Seham, they're pretty sure they can dominate this world--and, worst-case-scenario, they'll be able to claim part of it if Seham dies.
Besides, Seham's probably more powerful than most all the others. And there are a few that are loyal to him for non-intimidation reasons. Nuriel, for instance. This represents a way for Nuriel to get an approximation of what she wants. There's also his lieutenant, who is...I'm not sure, exactly. But I don't have to be until you meet him!

I'm finally catching up on Pact* (and not the first time), and at the end of 3.5 I realized that the lawyers are a lot like this game's Wall Street, just less omnipotent and more sinister.

Also, they seem more regulated (from what I can tell from skimming its Tropes page). Seeing as if they lie, they get screwed over completely, if a Wall Street entity lies, then any associated contracts made whilst being mislead by that lie will not work with no other consequences.

I just remembered that I never wrote a description for Cecil's contracting entity. Seeing as Everything: Gaiden is comatose again, here's a description if needed:

Spoiler: Grim Reaper / Senior Auditor Description (click to show/hide)

If where someone to see it, they would have seen a solitary, hooded cloak, levitating in a manner that seemed to imply it was being worn, yet with no such person in sight. A crimson tie, with a Windsor knot rests within it.

The delineated edges of the cloak mark where the known universe terminates. The fundamental forces practically cease to exist as the exchange of gauge bosons that mediate them grind to a calamitous halt. The insatiable maw of entropy begins to choke, with all transfer of heat, and other forms of energy for that matter, becoming impossible. Electrons scatter from their atoms, now unbound, quarks drift aimlessly, no longer participating in chromodynamics. Despite this, no collisions occur, as kinetic energy may neither be exchange or transformed anymore. The exact properties and charabcteristics of the garment are nigh impossible to define, as no information may be exchanged.

Of course, few do ever see it. Rather than perceiving the signifying visage, the signified concept is forcibly implanted into the minds of all whose gaze upon it instead.

It's ability is Embargo, it can disallow any transaction whether it be of assets, mana (thus nulling the supernatural), gauge bosons (which can cause issues for people if only gluons are affected) or information. It's one of those completely overpowered entities that are likely to never interfere, seeing as it is rather unlikely that any character or hostile is going to commit that much tax evasion. It may be the grim reaper, but it only really acts when people evade a lot of taxes without justifiable reasons.

Speaking of supernatural entities... I had an idea for a suggestion game while listening to some music.
The basic concept is you play a less than guardian angel for troubled people/suicidal people? There could be some special twist on it like it being set during an apocalypse or some other disaster?

Selina has always had the ability to have anything shes ever needed on hand at anytime. If anyone ever kidnapped her, she'd just need something to create a drawing on. Even water droplets in a pattern could work, though at like 4X the mana cost.

HILDA is part golem, technically.

And Neferis is completely golem, but you don't see her running around trying to smash everything. _{In fact you don't see her at all, but that's a different thing altogether.}

Selina has no indication of most Golems outside of Neferis. Books often portray them as constructs controlled by evil wizards.

1. Neferis is anything but evil.
2. The golems themselves are never evil, and are often stated to be tools.
3. Fey are also often used by evil wizards. As are magical devices. And damn near everything.
4. On the note of Conny, do you have any idea what the Fair Folk were like in the source material?

Come to think of it, do any of Selham's supporters hold any position of power in hell? When they escape/get defeated, who gets those ranks and titles?
Are they simply dissolved, leaving the remaining noble demons with a greater share of power?
Do the remaining noble demons get promoted and have their former ranks filled by newcomers?
Or are those empty ranks directly filled by newcomers?

If it's one of the latter two, I suspect that through some form of @Elf-endorsed convolution, Meme gains a position of significant power in hell.

Her contracted legions would probably welcome it. After all, I doubt she even understands the concept of a mandate, let alone how to issue one so they'd likely end up being paid to faff about, doing fuck all like some sort of exaggerated caricature of Andromalius' 36 legions. Plus she would practically be a puppet leader as well, increasing that party's influence in hell with her rule secured by said party and associates.

True.
Well, if you modified the premise some it could still be viable. Like, instead of being suicidal in a post-apocalyptic universe, you could have the angel be guarding someone harassed by demons.
Or do the Rumsiel game. Playing a screwup angel trying to get back into heaven seems much more Bay12's style than playing a goody-good angel trying to protect people.

You seem to be assuming that there's order in Hell. When not imposed by some powerful demon, there really isn't.
Seham's supporters are mostly rank-and-file demons, with some officers and such. Those officers might take fragments of Seham's servants and try to stake out claims, and enemies of Seham will invade the borders and claim what they can. Business as usual.

I didn't ignore them, I just didn't care enough, nor do I think Lucifer would have cared. And yes, you are ignoring peaceful solutions. Sens plan wasn't too bad, yet even after "killing" one of her dudes and presenting video proof the demon is ignoring any and all cooperation.


also, my characters are not advancing the plot?


it was ICARUS who started the search for Will, without her, nobody would have looked for him
it was ICARUS who got Lucifer involved, who technicaly *ended* the plot. Will is back, and he doesn't care about Nuriel. Yet he took steps that will soon enough end the plot on their own.
It was ICARUS again who lead the group towards Seham, despite not having much interest anymore, and who is actively supporting Sen in her effort to do stuff.


so yes, I can complain. And if this is how you treat your players, then I will certainly not make the mistake of playing in your plots again. Have you *ever* GMd a game before? People being interested into doing stuff is the GMs one and only job. Everything beyond that is just improvisation. This is why I stand in contact with many players via PM, to get them interested and involved before stuff even starts. Planning plots is best done in dialogue.

Video proof from a highly questionable source. Proof that wouldn't have been needed if Sen hadn't claimed that Seham's servants had betrayed him for no apparent reason.
Hell, Sen could have told the truth ("one of my former allies froze them, I haven't been able to undo it") would have worked great!

no, bad KJ. Let us just ignore eachother. GWG does his thing, we do ours, and all is well. Nobody is forced to play in his plots, he doesn't need to play in ours, and we will just nnot comment on eachothers stuff.

Not demons in specific, but...no one finds it unusual that Angel was visiting her parents for days, and took of her bracelet and left it abandoned in the hospital long enough for it to end up in the lost and found? And people still didn't really care once you discovered Will was kidnapped? Etc, etc?
And it's not just apathy, it's lack of initiative and lack of common sense. "Nah, I'll just assume this backed-into-a-corner demon won't try to pull anything funny. No need to keep an eye on him. No matter how long it takes him to get Will."

1. Even though she has never lost track of it, ever? And doesn't act nearly as scatterbrained as most kids? And wouldn't she have claimed it when it was found, then moved to the Lost and Found?
2. "Large Amount" =/= "Days, and also drops completely off the radar"

Will's been sticking around and no one's been complaining.
He's still a teenager, which rather impedes his options. and why should he get a job? It's been mentioned a few times that he's managed to get a small fortune from the stock market.

You can, in fact, own property as a teenager. It's just rare, and usually given to him/her by an older relative/family friend.

Seeing as there doesn't seem be any explanation for how ritual magic works, I have created the following explanation. Please excuse its inelegance, as this is what amounts to a partial adaption of lore for one of my own settings modified to fit this game. The explanation is written from the perspective of Arthur Reisa, and presumes that they had ventured into the world before the creation of the crossover ban.

Spoiler: Warning, contains misanthropy. Organic lifeforms may take offense to the content. (click to show/hide)

Quote from: Arthur Reisa - Sequestrated Hivemind/Artificer Construct

People, are fucking morons. Not that one may expect much from souls encaged within meatsacks, perpetually stoned by the potent chemical cocktails that drive them. Ritual magic however, may be characterized by a certain degree of dumbassery so spectacular that it possesses few, if any matches. An acme of folly on the part of the fleshpuppets if you will. Such a topic is quite a complex affair indeed, nevertheless, we have never been one to excessively employ circumlocution, hence, we shall present a shallow summary of this as follows:

For an obscure, ostensibly arbitrary reason that escapes us, an idiot somewhere in the distant past had made the assumption that, for whatever reason, the forces of the universe abide by meaningless symbols and that by childishly drawing said sigils, they could, somehow or other call upon such powers. A truly foolish notion. Alas, there were a multitude of idiots. A great multitude in fact, some of whom had raw magical strength that, regrettably, far surpassed their cognitive strength.

At this point, one must stop to admire the surprising (or perhaps for the involved quacks, fortunate) fruits of these countless, pointless endeavors. They had engineered a truly marvelous system that degrades entire systems of potent, self-sustaining magic with such hideously draining inefficiencies simply to, well, from what we understand, embellish said spells with more shininess. How tragically hilarious that this monumental waste may simply be attributed to wanting more shininess. Every roar of near tangible power and every radiant scintillation though supposedly empirical evidence of a power increase, was little more than a sign of the colossal power losses incurred.

Allow us to partake in another tangent: the associated magic is not as potent as it once was, a fact few acknowledge. It was, one of the most ancient forms of magic, developed and researched in more tumultuous times. Times where, it was prudent not to share all one knows. In this atmosphere of paranoia, the magus kept their trumpcards private, usually taking it to the grave. The apexes of entire eras appeared and vanished in secrecy.

However, that raises a question, if this power has peaked and decayed over time, then, how does it still work? Simple. The attenuated sorcery has to go somewhere. Recall our mention of their self-sustaining nature (a long forgotten art now), which had remained a common trait until shortly after the peak, this colossal quantity of spells persist, embedded in the universe albeit hardly ever interacting (not unlike the concept of weakly interacting massive particles). However, they have their sigils and whatnot imprinted upon them and, should the same type of magic be used with a close enough approximation of these parameters, they produce and funnel some energy into their duplicate.

The irony. The formerly futile practice finally bears fruit, as modern rituals use these ancient remnants to provide the power their casters cannot. Some may say this excuses the stupidity. We beg to differ: the forgotten arts, had they not been stymied, would have far exceed the power of contemporary rituals. A shame their practitioners were far too afflicted by their desire for shininess.

Post by: Akroma on April 07, 2014, 04:54:42 am

I wonder if Sehams plan would have actually come to fruition. I mean, his group of demons can dominate and rule a small town easily enough, mostly because of the moment of suprise. But even so, conquering an entire world? Even without magic, this world will have their own heroes, and well trained armies somewhere. The humans the demons press into service are not well trained and not motivated, and against a proper army, will not be very useful. Meanwhile yes, the demons are strong, but also, they are irreplacable. For them to conquer this world, they will have to be on the battlefield, and on the battlefield, even a demon can be killed.

Also, Sehams starting budget is laughable. He has a bunch of demons, and the untrained inhabitants of a single town. That town is probably part of a bigger kingom. The news will spread, and people will soon begin taking proper counter measures - people who have the budget of a whole nation. For Seham to actually be succesful in this world, he should have been a whole lot more subtle than just invading the first town he sees. Like this, it might take thousands of years to conquer this planet - if he is able to at all. With just himself and his demons, he will not have the infrastructure and cohesion to actually run the whole world. Like rome, his territory will overstretch and break apart, and internal conflict will become uncontroleable.

The timeframe is also problematic. While he conquers the world, the world does not stand still, and he will certainly need hundreds if not thousands of years to conquer it. Nothing increases technological improvement like war. Even without magic, humans will develop specialised anti demon weaponry and armor.

And that is even *before* he has to deal with Lucifers bounty on his head. Every now and then powerful demons, alongside their demon servants will come to this world and make attempts at Sehams life, probably also decimating sehams demon servants in the process - removing the only means seham has to hope for controling this world.

But let's be super generous and assume he somehow manages over the course of a thousand years to bring this world under controle, now he has to actually return and conquer our world. As Seham is in a world without magic, his power will likely not increase to the point where he can instantly teleport several billion humans at once, he will have to do so in groups. these groups are cut off from their home world, which means they only have the supplies they are bringing along with them and what they capture. they will have to compete with humans that are not only technologicaly more advanced, but also have access to magic - alongside everything else in this world, including an entire hell full of the demons that are controling the humans. Instantly all morale will be broken. Sehams plan is doomed to fail.

He should just retire in this new world and go into hiding for an eon until the bounty is forgotten and then live there peacefully.

Not to mention that other entities may intervene. Wall Street investors won't like an invasion harming their investments for instance. Plus they'd still be up against the Legions of Hell which would invariably be more prepared seeing as they know he's coming and they can prepare in peacetime rather than wartime. Also, humanity could probably get Layar assistance using a few trade agreements.

Quote from: The Art of War

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him;
if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.
If equally matched, we can offer battle;
if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy;
if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.
Hence, though an obstinate fight may be made by a small force, in the end it must be captured by the larger force.

I'd say the emphasized two points describe his situation. Not to mention this world launching a preemptive strike.

So, "everyone--including pragmatic magical creatures--uses magical rituals for no goddamn reason"? I don't buy it.

Quote from: Akroma on April 07, 2014, 04:54:42 am

-snip-

Seham's plan:
1. Conquer a city. (Check)
2. Raise an army from that city. Possibly make some monsters for elite troops, depending on available resources. Definitely scour the area for magical people, bribing them to join his army.
3. Use army and magical powers to conquer nearby cities.
4. Goto 2 and repeat.

Quote

With just himself and his demons, he will not have the infrastructure and cohesion to actually run the whole world. Like rome, his territory will overstretch and break apart, and internal conflict will become uncontroleable.

1. Roman civilization lasted for a hell of a long time. That's not a bad model, as far as empires go.
2. He plans to build on the existing infrastructure, rather than wipe everything out.

Quote

The timeframe is also problematic. While he conquers the world, the world does not stand still, and he will certainly need hundreds if not thousands of years to conquer it. Nothing increases technological improvement like war. Even without magic, humans will develop specialised anti demon weaponry and armor.

1. Why do you think it would take so long? On one side, you have tanks and stuff. On the other, you have magic and increasing armies...not to mention magicians. And whatever military tech they pick up. And the terror that comes with being invaded by demons. Tell me, what do you think would happen if a small army of demons invaded and took over Chicago?
2. Demons aren't stuck in medieval stasis, either.

Quote

And that is even *before* he has to deal with Lucifers bounty on his head. Every now and then powerful demons, alongside their demon servants will come to this world and make attempts at Sehams life, probably also decimating sehams demon servants in the process - removing the only means seham has to hope for controling this world.

How was Seham supposed to know Lucifer would get involved?

Quote

But let's be super generous and assume he somehow manages over the course of a thousand years to bring this world under controle, now he has to actually return and conquer our world. As Seham is in a world without magic...

The world has magic, just not as much as, say, the main world we're in, and it's completely disorganized.

Quote

...his power will likely not increase to the point where he can instantly teleport several billion humans at once, he will have to do so in groups. these groups are cut off from their home world, which means they only have the supplies they are bringing along with them and what they capture. they will have to compete with humans that are not only technologicaly more advanced, but also have access to magic - alongside everything else in this world, including an entire hell full of the demons that are controling the humans. Instantly all morale will be broken. Sehams plan is doomed to fail.

...Okay, you lost me. What the fuck do you think his plan is?


Another thing you're forgetting: Demon lords are already invading. He knew that if he stayed in Hell, he would be overrun sooner or later--probably sooner. Was invading this world a bit of a gamble? Yes. Was it better than sitting in Hell, waiting to be killed? Hell yes.

Quote from: Empiricist on April 07, 2014, 05:11:59 am

Not to mention that other entities may intervene. Wall Street investors won't like an invasion harming their investments for instance. Plus they'd still be up against the Legions of Hell which would invariably be more prepared seeing as they know he's coming and they can prepare in peacetime rather than wartime. Also, humanity could probably get Layar assistance using a few trade agreements.

Quote from: The Art of War

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him;
if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.
If equally matched, we can offer battle;
if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy;
if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.
Hence, though an obstinate fight may be made by a small force, in the end it must be captured by the larger force.

I'd say the emphasized two points describe his situation. Not to mention this world launching a preemptive strike.

Wall Street presumably only has significant investments in worlds with significant amounts of magical stuff. Magic is present but insignificant in this world.
The Legions of Hell were already against him, and now he has one portal instead of all his borders to protect.
Somehow, I doubt that Sun Tzu was writing for scenarios where a single soldier on one side could easily defeat dozens or hundreds on the other side.

Everyone has their price. Besides, it's the Prisoner's Dilemma. Sure, if everyone banded against Seham they could possibly overthrow him, but A. they don't know each other, B. they can't trust that everyone else will join Seham, and C. the magicians are scattered thin enough over the world that banding together is simply impractical.
In theory, perhaps. But then, they could do that to him in Hell, and much more easily. No matter how you look at it, it's better than staying at home.

Also magi are rare. If people heard mages were being paid off then everyone would start witch hunts. And nothing can save a mage from crazy zealots. And that would ruin that part of the plan. And of course they probably have nukes so...

When Seham was planning his plan, no one from outside that world and maybe Hell would be involved; I don't imagine that either demons or people unaware of gods' existence would be too likely to call on them.
By the time everyone else got involved, Celestial Realm beings are hardly the worst thing he'd have to deal with.

1. Ever hear of a place called Salem? What the hell makes you think these witch hunts would actually kill the magic people more often then not? Or even have a 90% success rate? Besides, they're just hamstringing themselves if they can't use any magic either, so win-win.
2. Nuke their own cities. Right, that'll look good to everyone. And you say that like there's no way for magic (and Seham was pretty good with it) to protect against nukes.

If magic users are so rare they'll end up getting some at least. Also if they 're so rare then his plan shouldn't hinge on that.

And you say that'll look bad like this isn't what seems to be a world with little variation in it from the other one. If it is as it appears everyone and their mother would know about the demons invading. If not then nukes wouldn't be a problem.

Regardless, defaulting to the nuclear solution is going to look bad unless they've already basically lost...and if they've already basically lost, there's no one center of power that they can nuke.

Seham. Unless he has insane magic he would not be able to prevent a nuke from ruining his plans. And I think nuking demons as soon as they invade a city makes loads of sense.

And if there was an army already that was near why couldn't they just kill the dozen demons they would have to fight? A demon isn't going to keep walking as well with a couple of clips in him.

He's a greater demon on par with Andras, Eligor, Belial, Asmodeus and that shit. Of course he has insane magic. Also, unless they push the godzilla threshold, there isn't a lot of reason to use a nuke on a city you want to live in afterwards.

Humans have ways to avoid nukes ruining their days without any magic. And nuclear missiles are remarkably delicate devices; just how much Seham could screw with it is dependent only on how far out he can detect missiles from. Since it's hard to hide ICBMs...well, there's a good chance that it would hit some other population center.
You...you don't understand how things work, do you? If Obama heard demons were invading Chicago, he would not nuke them. That would be stupid. That would kill millions of Americans and cost billions, if not trillions, to repair, all because we've heard that some weird things were attacking Chicago. More likely, he'd treat it as a terrorist attack and send SEALs or Green Berets or something. When that failed, he'd probably turn to conventional armies (e.g, with tanks and artillery and stuff), and lose because those things are more useful when you're not fighting mobile, magical monsters with healing abilities and enough strength to disable or destroy a tank single-handedly. If he didn't try those first, he'd be seen as a lunatic; best-case scenario is impeachment and disgrace, worst-case is imprisonment for life and the destruction of the Democratic Party. And if someone other than the US nuked Chicago...well, can you say World War III? Basically, everyone would need to somehow know that the demons were nuke-worthy threats before they spread to multiple cities, at which point a single nuke wouldn't exactly end the threat and multiple nukes would have costs in hundreds of millions if not billions of lives.
Demons are pretty tough, actually, and as it happens they're making an army largely out of conscripts.

And seriously, is this any worse than the plots the rest of you come up with? Why are people capturing members of the group with non-unique capabilities? Why did those angels decide that destroying the world that Shys'm Caes was living on was the best way to deal with the issues, or that Yuri's mom would make a better God than she? Why did IRIS make an intelligent AI with desires to become Skynet? I'm pretty sure I've put more thought into Seham's plans than a lot of the uncomplained-about plots did into their Big Bads' plans.

The thing about conscription is that it usually implies some way of maintaining control and/or loyalty. The demons have a number of options, really.

Being demons doesn't prevent assassination and shooting them. Nuriel proved that.

Fear and punishment also inspires disloyalty. And decent living conditions are to be expected and not affect ones veiws.

If they have heavy weaponry. Normal assault rifles can only shoot a tiny fraction of that fast, and not for long...and that's if the soldier actually hits.

If you attack only one point, when other points hold up the argument on their own or at least without the attacked one, you're kinda not doing anything. Like the discussion about Olaf; you attacked my point about him being the annoying kind of comic relief*, but left everything else untouched, so you were implicitly agreeing that the other reasons Olaf is unlikeable are true.

*Not very well, given the few similarities between Oaken and Olaf. Especially since Oaken isn't a main character.

That's not what the roll was for! It was for making Angel's body! And it critted, which means something special happened, which means we need a GM to tell us what happened.

I have never seen crits have special effects in this game that I can remember outside of combat and mind transfer has no complications and has never needed a roll. Angel can transfer without any problems and the body will work as you would expect.

The roll made angel's body. Since it critted, it worked perfectly. Since this is not TA, there's no overshot effect. Unless Projeck really wants to come up with one.

So, "everyone--including pragmatic magical creatures--uses magical rituals for no goddamn reason"? I don't buy it.

No. Not everyone. Not initially. The more pragmatic used it later, when there were enough of those spell remnants that it allowed them to cast things they normally could not.

Quote from: Empiricist on April 07, 2014, 05:11:59 am

Not to mention that other entities may intervene. Wall Street investors won't like an invasion harming their investments for instance. Plus they'd still be up against the Legions of Hell which would invariably be more prepared seeing as they know he's coming and they can prepare in peacetime rather than wartime. Also, humanity could probably get Layar assistance using a few trade agreements.

Quote from: The Art of War

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him;
if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.
If equally matched, we can offer battle;
if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy;
if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.
Hence, though an obstinate fight may be made by a small force, in the end it must be captured by the larger force.

I'd say the emphasized two points describe his situation. Not to mention this world launching a preemptive strike.

Wall Street presumably only has significant investments in worlds with significant amounts of magical stuff. Magic is present but insignificant in this world.
The Legions of Hell were already against him, and now he has one portal instead of all his borders to protect.
Somehow, I doubt that Sun Tzu was writing for scenarios where a single soldier on one side could easily defeat dozens or hundreds on the other side.

Um, are we talking about the same thing? I was going off of what @Akroma said about him invading and coming back later with an army.

Seham. Unless he has insane magic he would not be able to prevent a nuke from ruining his plans. And I think nuking demons as soon as they invade a city makes loads of sense.
And if there was an army already that was near why couldn't they just kill the dozen demons they would have to fight? A demon isn't going to keep walking as well with a couple of clips in him.

And seriously, is this any worse than the plots the rest of you come up with? Why are people capturing members of the group with non-unique capabilities? Why did those angels decide that destroying the world that Shys'm Caes was living on was the best way to deal with the issues, or that Yuri's mom would make a better God than she? Why did IRIS make an intelligent AI with desires to become Skynet? I'm pretty sure I've put more thought into Seham's plans than a lot of the uncomplained-about plots did into their Big Bads' plans.

To be frank, those plots were atrocious in my opinion. Your plot is better. But to be superior to something atrocious does not mean that it's good either.

People fight for their lives when in danger...well, yes, because they like living, but there are reasons for that beyond the circular logic you're trying to imply is there.

To be frank, those plots were atrocious in my opinion. Your plot is better. But to be superior to something atrocious does not mean that it's good either.

I never said it was. I'm just saying...if no one else's Evil Plans get complained about, why mine?

Because there's had more pressing parts to complain about. If @Ragnarok's plot didn't get into all the system and lore problems, people probably would have. It's just that it had far more controversial parts to it.

Because they enjoy riding on rollercoasters. Why do most people fight for their lives when in danger? Because they like living. That's pretty much it.

I wouldn't argue that to be a purpose, but rather something that life tends to develop that allows it to proliferate enough in noticeable quantities. After all in a population of lifeforms, the ones that do create more life will dominate the population simply due to their replication rather than any innate purpose, hence, this apparent principle may be effectively illusionary.

Essentially that people don't kill themselves when they get sad (note, not necessarily depressed. Different things.) because they have an inborn desire to live in order to reproduce.

Post by: JollyGent on April 08, 2014, 12:29:50 pm

Name: Minwoo Ju/JollyGent(alias)

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Black hair which is spiked up at the front, with black eyes accompanied by glasses with thick, black frames. He is 170cm tall with the weight being 69kg, so not too fat but not that slim either. His skin is slightly tanned, and he has sharp eyes but somewhat of a crooked teeth with braces. When working under alias 'JollyGent'(his drone), he wears a white, smile mask with a crescent smile and two circular eye holes, with glowing red lenses as the iris, accompanied by a classy suit with a black tie, with long, black coat. Often wears white gloves too to emphasize his 'gentlemanly' nature(that he is obsessed with.) When not working, he is often shown wearing pajamas, or just very simple red hoodie with jeans accompanied by trainers.

Personality: Laid back and polite, and is quite patient too. He is intelligent and artistic, often drawing his drone designs in his sketchbook. He speaks in a deep, slow tone and he wants to be friends with everyone, but is quite mischievous, often turning situations to his advantage
sometimes just for his amusement( thus sometimes called a 'Magnificent Bastard'). Although he has a light-hearted, eccentric and curious manner, deep down there is sorrow and insecurity, often showing his negative side in tough situations. Despite this, he also is quite fond of girls, and would sometimes deliberately show his feelings, often just for a laugh. He also shows his savage, cruel side when he is in state of anger, trying to destroy everything in his way. But overall, he seeks justice.


Age: 14
Stats: 75

STR- 10
END- 10
DEX- 10
MAG- 20
MIND- 25

Power: Uses programmed drones/ machines to manipulate Mana into different forms utilizing the hologram technology. Can also hack.

The Hulk - Tanky drone, slow and heavy and quite dull, but it is programmed to utilize magic to strengthen its attacks. Packed with 'Smart Missiles' and JollyBullets(bullets that is programmed to release magic energy its supression upon collision with a solid object.) deadly punches too, but is quite easy to dodge and outsmart, and often you can easily find it's blind spots.

The Flash - drone that is programmed to invest mana as a fuel, bursting it for quick,temporary speed. It is quite hard to catch and can be deadly, but is quite weak due to the fact that the design was invested on speed than strength.

The JollyGent - stealthy drone that is programmed to invest mana to cloak itself to get around. Quite quick, and quite strong as well(there is a good balance.) This is Minwoo's favourite drone, and he controls the drone himself working under alias of 'JollyGent'. Which means naturally, it is the 'smartest' drone. Can utilize different weapons and forge mana to different forms like sword, hammer etc that. Has a signiture weapon, which is a staff that can open up different holes to project different holograms which Minwoo can use as a basis to construct his mana weapons.


HP= 210
MP= 256

EDIT: I apologise, this is my first time, please understand XD

backstory:

being born in China while his parents were running away from North Korea, he grew up as a loner arriving at England. All he enjoyed doing was day dreaming and going to Church which developed his laid back, but polite, compassionate manner towards others. Due to his physical incapabilities and his lazy attitude, he soon aspired to learn magic, and soon realised that although he was really good at learning and there was potential within him, he soon realised that the field of magic was to vast for him to explore and he soon got worried that he was not using his magic to his full potential. This all changed when his pastor first taught him how to run a program. Soon pursuing research on different technologies, particularly those concerned with holograms and artificial intelligence, he came to program various drones which utilizes hologram technology to morph his mana in different forms and elements, each drones built for specific purpose. Although hating violence due to his affiliation to the Church, Minwoo, under the alias 'JollyGent', seeks to be hacker vigilante that utilizes drones to stop any threats to the world.

Also, I know this guy IRL. He wants to start RPing and crap. I'm trying to talk him through making an RoTMG sheet and it MIGHT be hard.


Hence why you have all the permission to bash him. :D

well for starters, he made *the* beginner mistake everyone makes when you make a character: Describing the character just by what kinda power they use to fight.


I mean, there is no problem to start somewhat with a blank, which is what I did with ICARUS, who evolved as a char soley on what happened ingame....and yes, I did describe her functions in detail but...you know what I mean. At least starting as an entirely emotionless object that is becoming gradually more and more complex is something, it gives the character direction. Here, it's kinda hard to judge, as all we know is that the char...fights using drones? That makes it only harder for us to interact with the char on a proper level, which in return makes it harder for jolly to actually evolve the char

Just a random question because I like to improve my writing and stuff: Except for length of posts (I'd like to post longer stuff but I never have enough to say xD) do I do any of these things?

Shush, Empiricist. We all know it's pretty bad, but that's why we all love it. Some Cheese and Ham isn't always bad after all.

It is when it constitutes the majority of it and is rather jarring considering the original plot and gameplay (which also had far greater potential lethality).

I never actually mentioned length of posts, though if memory serves, Mallory did have actual expressions described, the signifier rather than the signified so that definitely was a nice deviation from the norm. Overall though I can't comment too much on your characters seeing as Mallory was initially active when I was a bit busy though I don't recall anything that irritated me pertaining to his design. I have no clue about your persona user though seeing as I've hardly been paying attention now ha I've left.

To say nothing of connections he'll be able to draw with the attacks themselves.

An aria is a chant of scripture (can be any kind of scripture) that draws out the power of the chant and forms it into an effect. For example the Aria chanters in the battle used it to shield the Knights and templar from magic at the cost of having to keep up the chant to keep the buff active.

Marie considers them a form of magic. As do I. Persona runs on psychological concepts, Wall Street on economics, Void has been called Void magic in the past, yadda yadda yadda.

Fatigue katana shouldn't be shielded, since it is not void-based in power. The material it is made of naturally drains energy.

Wait, so if Ashley's weapon is Twilight-class, what precisely is it? Some sort of yet to be mentioned domain that can affect energy, presumably accessed by demons such as Anyanya?  Or would it be Wall Street's embargo power, the same as the one wielded by the Grim Reaper itself, in which case it wouldn't drain energy as much as it prevents energy from even being used?

I'll just chime in on if Personas should be considered "magic" I guess

The way I look at it, yes, it is magic. Take something like Agi for example. Twilight is the bridge between the magical and the physical if what I read earlier is correct so lets look at it that way.

Is it a magical force? Yes, there is fire where there previously was not.
Is it a physical force? No, fire wasn't moved around, it was created.

What about Garu/Zan though? I guess you could argue that is stuff just getting moved around, but that argument could say that is a lot of work compared to just conjuring wind/force.

There's that and there's the whole thing that in both SMT and Persona you use a magic stat to cast spells, not some random stat or str. Just let magical things from the persona be magic, and physical ones be physical.

Wait, was this even relevant? Fuck... Weeeellp, wrote too much now to just delete. I'm spoilering it for anyone's (nobody's) future reference.

I'd say the latter, Emp. Though to be fair, I don't know much on the subject.

I'll sum up it's traits if it's an embargo weapon then:
-Each hit, proportional to the roll declares an embargo upon a person's energy for the set amount of time. They do not lose the energy itself, but rather the right to use it. Should be able to work for [supernatural adjective] energy as well.
-It may be possible to mitigate a portion of the energy of some attacks, depending on the user's skill and enchantment quality. So if say it parries a spell, the spell still hits but some of it may not actually do anything and bounce once since it isn't allowed to impart its payload.
-If it gets destroyed, depending on the supplier, the warranty may cover it and provide a free or reduced-expense replacement. If she still has the receipt.
-Magical examination of it may display the supplier's business card.
-Might be possible to overload its enchantment, though doing so invalidates the warranty.
-The supplier is not legally responsible for any acts performed using the weapon.
-Not affected by anti-magic or anti-void.
-Depending on quality, it may conceal its own eldritch signature.
-May come with free maintenance and/or polishing fluid discounts for a set amount of time.
-Could be a mass-produced model or custom-made.
-May come in a variety of colors, styles, grip-material and proportions.
-May have interchangeable grips.
-May have been made in an environmentally-friendly manner.
-Modifying the weapon or enchantment in any way, shape or form not specified by the user manual will invalidate the warranty.

@Elf, seeing as Ashley's fatigue katana is actually a sanction katana, how high quality should the enchantment be?

Where on a scale of 1-6, with bolded points indicating capabilities that will always be possible regardless of user skill (ie, just because it can do something not in bold doesn't mean Ashley is remotely capable of using it)?
6-Can briefly cancel a fundamental force at will
5-Can briefly cancel a fundamental force on hit
4-Conceals its own eldritch nature
3-Can partially mitigate supernatural attacks on parry
2-Can partially mitigate physical attacks on parry
1-Can fatigue

<Ever hear of the Double-Slit Experiment? It's like that. Each item generates a signature, which cancel each other out--but if you block one slit, the other beams through uninterrupted.>

Lunette knows nothing about the Double-Slit Experiment, GWG, but I do, so to the OOC thread I'll go.

Yes, each item generates a wave/signature, but you're missing the most important point. They'll only cancel each other if the waves/signatures overlap each other perfectly. If they don't overlap each other perfectly then destructive interference won't work perfectly either, and so you'll get bands/areas of magic/void energies that can be detected. So the only way to perfectly overlap the waves/signatures is if they are generated in the exact same location, with the exact same intensity and frequency. So to do that you'd have to create a Void spell that overlaps perfectly with the bracelet magics. Except you now have the to spells with the same location, intensity, frequency, shape, etc. but opposite polarities. In other words the destructive interference from above applies to the spells themselves, and they'll cancel each other out so that you're left with nothing.

Assumptions Made: Creation and Void are completely polar opposites, like electrons and anti-electrons, and not simply mutually exclusive. The interaction between Creation and Void is similar to wave physics. Despite being opposites, the interaction of Void and Creation with the world is the same, except with a few signs flipped here and there.

The magical signatures aren't the light sources themselves. Continuing the analogy, when the light in the double-slit experiment overlapped and destructively interfered, were the light sources affected?

We obviously need to get someone to come in and mediate this shit, because I'm arguing that since Creation and Void are polar opposites, overlapping the spells like that would destroy both of them, whereas you're arguing that they won't.

My logic is basically that magical items and whatnot are basically like campfires one roasts marshmallows over. You can do work with them, and you can see them, but those things are related to different processes--and you can cook marshmallows while hiding the fire (in theory; in practice, you'd probably get your marshmallow-roasting privileges before you could even set it up).

I argue that to get rid of light, you need the same wavelength, however delayed by half a period. Void magic has a different wavelength, and thus won't mask creation magic

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on April 09, 2014, 09:30:08 am

Void is the opposite of Creation. That's not a different wavelength; either it's the opposite phase, or it's a completely different kind of wave.

And if that was the case, just use another Creation magic source out of phase with the bracelet.

Post by: Twi on April 09, 2014, 07:59:08 pm

Acceptable, although Emp has a point. As for fun, well, I can have fun imagining Marie, but that's probably more because of how godamm cool Mami can be, so it doesn't really apply to non-Puella Magi watchers. It's okay, I guess. :P

Post by: Sanure on April 09, 2014, 08:05:04 pm

The police are currently tied up with the other Paladin lead squads around Singapore.

As for the resistance to firearms, They have 1 low level Aria caster so they can only get basic magic nullification. Later on when the group gets to fight the more elite Aria casters. Damaging the Knights and Paladins will get harder.

Some one needs to decide on a move for ICARUS since Akroma said to puppet her when she went to bed.
So far These are the turns I already have:

Ashley strikes at the Paladin again.

Marie rolls with the punches, backing off and summoning more rifles for this round, this time out of her hat, taking all three shots upon the remaining Aria Caster. Or, if she  manages to take him out, she redirects her fire to Templar.

Kyle breaks into a nearby car and hot wires it as he armors himself.

Bartimaeus fires a void fireball at Knight 2. Alucard sends a lash of void magic at Knight 2.

Alice She butted one of the casters with the handle of her machete then upon hearing Kyle's plan began to retreat quickly

Rose follows Alice

Alucard runs off after lashing Knight 2

Post by: Twi on April 09, 2014, 09:14:40 pm

That would be effective, except some people are meleeing. Which is why Marie thinks this is a bad idea unless they can suddenly become WAY more coordinated.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Sanure on April 09, 2014, 09:15:05 pm

There has been nothing in the lore to confirm that she is speaking the truth. In fact, there is stuff, such as the original magic prevention system at Maria's house, that denie it. So he's basically talking out of his ass as far as I can tell.

...You realize Ashley doesn't know EVERYTHING, right? As far as she is aware, it is near impossible for a caster to cast both for a period of time. I would say mainly due to the fatigue of a living being from having to balance the two. As for the fields, I'd imagine the people that set them up would know how to properly balance them since fatigue isn't an issue.

Anyways, yeah. Aria would effortlessly mindrape the problem out of existence. Asuna probably wouldn't be too useful due to her rifle being a magic weapon. Selebren would rip through shit in melee, and obviously has her reviving ability. Hannah is just a general tank, not as destructive as Selebren tho. Vremya has time powers, which could be used for all sorts of things. MEID-OS would be amusing, but probably not that helpful for the same reason gatling!Bart isn't that helpful. Mother Chitter would be useful, seeing as BUGS EVERYWHERE is a pretty effective tactic. Belladonna could do the same with plants. Discordia would buff the shit out of stuff.

There is. No true resurrection, but there is necromancy, like bringing zombies back and stuff.

Draco is to be considered Non-elemental damage (which is still too be considered magic damage)

Post by: Empiricist on April 10, 2014, 02:52:13 am

Hmm... would be interesting if Izzy with Xiuhcoatl's assistence could channel elements to create elementals even if as something with high cooldown.... So a fire elemental would be a vague self-sustaining reaction, a void elemental would be an unearthly shade of black, a psychological elemental would be a mass of masks, drives and various other components, a decay elemental would be a moving area in which things fall to entropy and an economic sanction elemental would look like impending poverty...

I suppose it would function as some sort of coordinated attack, with Xiuhcoatl stabilizing and Izzy animating a spell...

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on April 10, 2014, 03:13:43 am

Anyone available I suppose. Nuriel can provide fire, Kyle can provide wind, or plasma, Ester can provide light, Tobias shadows, Selina/Ghost can provide most elements, Abraxas void, Ashley void and, if she overloads her katana, economic sanctions, Will's new weapon can provide Fate (ill advised though), Alice decay, Sen paper, etc.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Sanure on April 10, 2014, 03:18:16 am

Well, Uhco can use basic elemental attacks, so any of the elements she controls she can contribute. Anything Twilight or Void based would need someone else.

attacking the two huge health sponges right off the bat seems like a bad way to reduce the enemies DPS.


take out the other paladin first, and the knights. Considering the guys huge health, he probably has huge endurance anyway, so he won't be damaged easily anyway (because Sanure is using the low damage system)

alright, we have 7-8 turns to inflict about 1000 damage, we have 13 dudes, plus whatever the dragonslyaer squad can do, so if we all concentrate our attacks we need to deal about 150 damage to him every round, which is just a bit more than 10 damage coming in from each of us each round.

that btw is the problem of the current system you are using. The damage that is done is too low in relation to normal healthpools. Like this a) even people with only 5 in endurance can, just by the luck of dice, shrug off most attacks almost entirely and b) those who already have a TON of health tue to high endurance also take much less damage, effectively doubling, if not trippling their health. It's unbalanced in the sense that combat takes *way* too long

How heavy is ICARUS?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on April 10, 2014, 06:25:33 am

We could compare her kinetic energy to the kinetic energy of Alucard's shot to create a ratio of the two and apply it to the latter's raw damage to determine the raw damage of the former.

Assuming ICARUS is traveling just above the speed of sound at 341 ms^-1 and weighs as much as ASIMO (54 kg) and that Alucard's armor piercing pistol round delivered as much energy as the muzzle energy of a 5.56 × 45 mm rifle round...
E_k-ICARUS = ¹/₂(54)(341)²
E_k-ICARUS = 3139597 joules
E_{k-5.56 × 45 mm} = 1796 joules
E_k-ICARUS ÷ E_{k-.45 ACP} = 1748 (to nearest integer)
ICARUS would be dealing a raw damage before defense application of approximately 1748 times that of Alucard's shot. Of course, this is a heavily simplified scenario. Let's assume my calculations overstate it then. That say, they were five times as high.
1748 ÷ 5 = 349.6
Well, that's still 34960% the raw damage of Alucard's shot... so I'd say according to that, Luthar's voicebox, throat, neck and body as a whole are fucked. Proper fucked.

So, I guess we shouldn't use that to calculate it after all...

Look, I know I made a lot of assumptions and @GWG will probably correct me when he gets back on, but I'm pretty sure that getting hit by a human-size piece of supersonic metal isn't very survivable if we use realism. Please note, that only factored in the speed boost. It was getting hit by a human-size piece of supersonic metal, not, getting kicked with superhuman force by a human-size piece of supersonic metal.

So in short, fuck realism.

Post by: Sanure on April 10, 2014, 06:50:36 am

Nah, I've already said fuck off to Realism on some of the boss type characters the group will be facing. For example,

Spoiler: Read if you don't care for spoilers (click to show/hide)

Arthur Dramon carries around a demon slaying sword called Serpentia. Not only does it deal double Holy damage, but also inflicts a poison status on a player that does 100 damage over 5 turns and Paralyzes them for 3 turns after the poison wears off. He also always goes first in the turn order due to his extreme speed ability and each turn he heals 1d100 HP. Factoing in his powerful arias, one of which nulls Magic usage, and his abilities to still attack, makes him all kinds of fuck reality.

Note: Arthur is second to last boss and is completely avoidable. If lucky, he can even help you with the final boss. Go figure ((Has no life and I have planned everything out...))

Well, Sorta.

Arthur can't stop Persona users, but he can make it so they have a hard time of damaging him. Basically, Avoid fighting him if you can, but if you do fight him, at least have fun doing so.

I would agree with KJ. It would be epic.

Hmm.. How does a stat pool of 160 sound for Arthur? He would need to be fought with at least 6-9 people against him with 160 stat points. (I hope it isn't less than 6... wouldbe so unfair.

(Basically he fights alone.)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on April 10, 2014, 07:19:44 am

problem with statpools that high, in compared rolls, enemies become a) almost impossible to hit, even with dex penalties for every dodge in a row and b) even then, become impossible to damage, because you are doing Str+d50, reduced by End+d50, rather than what I suggested, Str+d50, reduced only by end, without adding a d50. With a statpool of 160, he will only rarely take hits, those hits wont do damage, and he immediatly heals that damage




keep in mind, your dude has a ton of passive buffs besides huge stats. the super powerful sword, the passive health regen - things like those REPLACE the need for high stats. Either something has huge stats, or powerful passive buffs. Both stacked on top makes this dude seem more like a statpool of 200+


With that regen, that damage output through his super sword, and what seems to be a dexs-boost ability, I severly discourage anything above 120.

...You realize Ashley doesn't know EVERYTHING, right? As far as she is aware, it is near impossible for a caster to cast both for a period of time. I would say mainly due to the fatigue of a living being from having to balance the two. As for the fields, I'd imagine the people that set them up would know how to properly balance them since fatigue isn't an issue.

Wait, Ashley hasn't considered the possibility that they might have at least two casters?

Quote from: Luthar

He is brutal and vicious and willing to sacrifice anyone to further his order

Basically, He tanked the damage from the car and I couldn't think of anything better than, He doesn't seem fazed.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!

Post by: Twi on April 10, 2014, 04:42:55 pm

Hold on, let me demonstrate my physics to you. /me scavenges up blackboard

Force = mass times acceleration, yeah?  F=ma and all that.

Acceleration is meters per second per second. How quickly your velocity changes.

Now, what does this mean? Well, if a is higher, f is also higher. A can be higher if the change in velocity is higher or if the time is shorter.

Baaasically, rooting himself and tanking ensures Luthar takes as much damage as possible short of actually running into it.

Luthar should still have taken damage from the car, regardless of defense. 

Cars don't have stats, they shouldn't have a dice roll attached to them because they'd practically always fail.  However, to compensate, their damage is fixed to 130 HP and stuns the target for two turns, unless someone wants to come up with a fair damage system based off acceleration of cars.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on April 10, 2014, 04:49:50 pm

well, that kinda depends on the ingame explanation as to why Luther is more durable, and since the car didn't even manage to move him, heavier than Neferis.


though my suggestion is okay, he does get run over, and does not take damage, but to actuall stop the car in it's tracks, he needs STRENGTH, not endurance. The TN to just stop a car at full throthle barehanded is...high. Very high. If he fails that TN, then he just get punted out of the way, taking a bit of damage in the process for being so stupid to actually step in front of a car (as with ICARUS attack, the cars damage should be multiplied in some way, lets see if he still tanks all the damage), and whatever was behind him is still hit by the car, as he did not stop it.


on the upside should he actually manage to beat that TN (with strength 10, on a d50 should be impossible), Kyle would take loads of damage from driving into an immovable object

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Sanure on April 10, 2014, 04:51:42 pm

Fixed that by stunning him for 2 turns and taking the damage. A lot easier than figuring out if he could stop it. I still say car is crumpled cause better story from it.

Anything else needing resolving before I continue writing the next turn while actions are turned in?

EDIT: Dammit brain. Use your spelling lessons...

Fixed that by stunning him for 2 turns and taking the damage. A lot easier than figuring out if he could stop it. I still say car is crumpled cause better story from it.

Anything else needing resolving before I continue righting the next turn while actions are turned in?

I could come up with a fair damage system. The kinetic energy of a car at 60mph is 492 kilojoules. If I can get a reference, I could totally turn it into damage like I did for Neferis :P

We would need to know how fast a car in singapore is capable of going and how fast Kyle was driving.

That middle part sounded stupid after I thought about it.

when in doubt, assume highway speed. Seriously, all we really need is a KJ-to-damage converter. Well, okay... it'd probably  have to be in terms of power. So Kilojoules per second to damage converter. :V

Or, force-to-damage. Which works easier if Luthar stops the car, because then acceleration is easy to calculate!

Well for now, he took a great chunk of damage from the car so that should be good for now. Plus he is stunned.

Also, What would the dice be? d20, d50 or d100?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Akroma on April 10, 2014, 05:07:32 pm

d50 standard, I guess


big difference in ICARUS favour: head ripped off, arm is still intact


small difference, no matter the side: ICARUS has the dude hanging from her shoulder, arm takes a bit of damage (d50 damage, -5 on uses of that arm until repaired, possibly -10 if very high damage)


big difference in knights favour: arm ripped off at breaking point, ICARUS takes fixed 50 damage, until repaired arm can obviously not be used at all

*Glances at Will's enormous MND* So basically, unless the opponent has colossal END, every shot causes extra organ failure? And unless the opponent has colossal DEX, taking a turn to aim makes Will's next shot autohit?

...Huh.
Is it possible to alter the rifle so Will controls them?

No, though you could have Annie or Wheatley control them instead. It works by repeatedly impaling a target with a tendril in a pattern that acts as the summoning ritual for a Fate tendency, that is, Annie, Cyrielle or Wheatley. Plus, here wouldn't be much of a difference between Cyrielle and Will possessing someone unless the latter is able to manually control all of their bodily systems without causing organ failure.

Hmm... I wonder if this could function well using a dice pool system to help balance stats and randomness. The main advantage is that the randomness falls within a bell curve, hence controlling the randomness. Of course, the main disadvantage would be counting the successes, especially with characters such as Will who have a large portion of their stat points invested in a single stat.

Look at it again, Akroma, before you start calling it OP.

And then tell me there's no save. Also, it doesn't scale with MAG, it doesn't damage them, so frankly, it's less of an option than simply going for an OHKO, which does the job faster, better, and with far less effort than a fear that can be saved against. Frankly, the only use for the fear is non-lethal takedown.

Finally, if you DO look at it again, I'm working on creating a DC for it, the current value is a placeholder. I'll compromise on the mana cost.


EDIT: Edited to have a DC and fixed the mana cost.

note, it's always a silly notion when someone assumes that fear = stun.


people react differently to fear. Some may freeze up, some may flee or hide, some may bargain, some may in their desperation fight even harder than before, focusing entirely on their source of the fear, ordering their allies to do so as well, if they are the group leader.

Effect: Enemies are helpless for two-three turns.

Clearly specified to render them helpless, not stunned; they can run, but no fucking way are they going to attack. Also, note the (Tentarafoo) in brackets next to the Fear status. Different fear-inducing things can have different effects.

Finally, it's not 'natural' fear, per se. Natural fear will have that effect.

Tentarafoo'ing an enemy is rewiring their brain for about two-three turns to say 'do not attack these guys and just run like fuck or do normal fear things'.

OHKO? What's that?
Seriously, name ONE enemy that could have been taken down in one hit. Or, for that matter, one enemy that could take down a non-glass-cannon PC in one hit.
The turn economy is important. Especially since Kyle can just use the ability a couple turns later. Really, the only thing it isn't useful on is large groups of mooks, and no one except me seems to apply significant penalties to attacking a bunch of folks at once.

No. Basically:


This counts as leaving combat:
-Being knocked out or unconscious for longer than three turns.
-Leaving the area the fight is in without returning.
-Teleporting out without intent to return in.


This doesn't:
-Blinking.
-Leaving and returning with reinforcements.

Kyle spamming a fear like that is going to get OP really quickly. I'm also trying to adapt JRPG movesets into a tabletop RPG system, while having the brain functions of a dead monkey.

moderate is still only 20 mana max.




nobody except ICARUS has a fighting style that is so mana intensive that you actually run a risk of running out. Most people don't even keep track of their mana.




Kyle has 325 Mana, that's 16 uses before he runs out. if it's only once per enemy, I seriously doubt that this is an issue

Hmm... I wonder if we could use a system where dice number is based on stats? Such as one where [stat] six-sided die are rolled and the total is taken or a dice-pool system? Which would be fairer, would it be superior to the current system?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: Oh mah gawd, the angst!
Post by: Empiricist on April 12, 2014, 02:00:10 am

In the former case, the addition of 1 stat point adds 1-6 units to each roll, comparatively using dice pools, adding 1 stat point gives a ¹/₆ chance of subtracting 1, a ²/₆ chance of having no effect, a ²/₆ chance of adding 1 and a ¹/₆ chance of adding 2.

On average, adding 1 point in
Dice Addition results in a +3
Dice Pool results in a +1.5

So with the proposed system, Yomiko who has a Mind of 50 would roll 50d6 and she would have a min-max of 50-300 where as Will would have 40-240?

That was the first system. In the second system, Yomiko would have a min-max of -50 to 100 and Will would have one of -40 to 80.

Do pistols suffer from their weaker projectiles relative to rifles? Does using a scythe gain penalties due to scythes being gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use?

Well, unless we divided our stats by ~10 that would be insane.
But something like that could work. Shadowrun has a similar system (well, the edition my dad has rulebooks for did; I've heard that it's changed for the complex).

And let's just figure that since it's magic jizz it knows not impregnate people when their owner tries to avoid it.

Doesn't that more or less negate the original purpose?

Isn't there a sig thread?

Aye. I've got three posts in it.

Wait, come to think of it, does the nature of the actual weapon actually matter? For example, does a sniper rifle gain penalties a close range due to its long barrel? Do pistols suffer from their weaker projectiles relative to rifles? Does using a scythe gain penalties due to scythes being gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use? Do trained combatants gain penalties against scythes due to having no idea how to fight someone attacking them whilst wielding gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use?

Did you read the TvTropes page for wielding scythes?

As a matter of fact, I haven't. I only ever use it to gain a brief summary on works of literature mentioned in other threads.

Would it effectively stop the Strong-Nuclear Force, thereby in atoms getting ripped apart by Electromagnetic Force? That's what I assumed would happen, but I'm not too sure about the effects on the quarks, whether they'd scatter in some sort of super-low temperature quark-gluon plasma, or just fly away in a vague approximation of their original formations.

You're trying to make me out to be the bad guy here. Tell me, what is more boring than just working in an office no matter where it is for the rest of eternity. At least in the original Christian heaven you could do things that were of some interest.

And the demons apparently will just make you do menial tasks for all of eternity. Which is boring as well. Also, it doesn't even discriminate on who goes where apparently. It's just based on if Heaven wants you for some arbitrary reason. In short, at least the current lore on the afterlife is interesting with concreteness and flavor.

Actually, in the original Christian heaven, all you did was praise God for eternity. It's not a paradise where you have fun or anything, you just sing praises to God. I don't think you even get to pick what praises you sing.

Depends on the demon, depends on the soul. Overall...so what? Dying sucks.

And what should it be based on? Why do the petty beliefs of some mortals have so much sway over cosmic processes?

You're putting words in my mouth. Where the hell are you getting "no pattern" from my description? The part where I don't specifically describe the qualities required for a "good cog," which should be obvious from the description?

Quote

And you're ignoring all the gods and such who could conceivably make their own afterlives and there is nothing Heaven can do to stop it since none of their cogs would help.

You're ignoring the fact that heaven is working for the gods. It's a bit like complaining about government because each state can't make their own national bureaucracy. Not to mention that the original idea was that the Gods of Heaven were overgods, Shys'm Caes and the like, while the others were simply (relatively) powerless late-comers. After all, why would the folks who set up reality just happen to care so much about humans?
And, as it happens, under the system you promote, gods still can't create

Quote

No, it really isn't. It's a non-answer, and it's also horribly cliche. One of the biggest cliches, a major cop-out used by nearly every single fantasy sink and many non-fantasy sinks. It's the same old, same old. At least try to use a less-overused cliche and put a spin on that, rather than taking an un-spinnable major cliche!

When did you become a majority?

No one has to yield to you. And please, do show me where Scapheap approved it.

Again, this was before we had everyone trying to cram their lore into their small packages. scapheap never needed to approve anything. Show where he approved of Aedan, or of Anima being Isis, or of any of this other crap that's been around since his days. So, basically you're asking for the Social Security number of someone born before that was a thing.

Finally, I will make an adjustment. Any and all afterlives in any mythology exist and thus gods or entities from those mythologies can just drag their favoured souls (or prisoners) into them.

I think we may have to split the characters tropes page across multiple pages.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on April 13, 2014, 03:38:23 am

Because we have too many damn characters. Especially when the tropes page covers less than 50% of them.

I think we'll need an entire characters page just for "Walking Deus ex Machimas Who Never Do Shit" which would be the Gods, the Selenites, the Horsepersons, the Retired Horsepersons, the Grim Reaper, Annie, Wheatley, Void, Lucifer, etc.

Gods- Most of them don't give a shit.
Selenites- Twi's stuff.
Horsepersons- See gods.
Retired Horsepersons; One retired guy. And see gods.
Grim Reaper- See gods.
Annie/Wheatley- Busy with their own life.
Void/Lucifer- Nothing I can do about them.

It was. Again, this was before there was enough people trying to force their own bits of lore down the throat of the game that we needed acknowledgement or anything like that.

Quote from: IamanElfCollaborator on April 13, 2014, 01:04:35 am

Finally, I will make an adjustment. Any and all afterlives in any mythology exist and thus gods or entities from those mythologies can just drag their favoured souls (or prisoners) into them.

...Doesn't that negate the point of both my and kj's scenarios?

Well, there are probably about 58,550 people named Maya, if Wolfram Alpha is correct. A quick Wikipedia search suggests that there are seven million or so descendants of the Mayan people.

What?

Quote from: Empiricist on April 13, 2014, 02:56:13 am

What's canonical now? That the Mayans primarily used those calenders rather than those large stone ones? Or that the large stone ones are actually those sorts of calenders except completely misinterpreted because centuries of erosion have stripped away all the pictures?

I'd say that something like "The big stone ones were mostly decorative; we used smaller, more convenient versions" would make sense.
Also, who is Uhco? And where is s/he? I happen to know a good bit of trivia about pre-Colombian American civilizations. And many other things.

30 pounds? Unless Selina's about three feet tall, that's going to involve some serious health issues.
MAYBE if you meant kilograms and Selina's short for her age. Maybe.

((Hollow bones from getting wings remember?))

Reduces weight slightly. However, according to Wolfram Alpha, an average woman's bones weigh only...around 30 kilograms. Okay, this might work. Assuming that "skeleton sled" is just the bones.

Well, in the first case, TA!Selina, note that I always visualize Selina as a hermit crab with a transparent closet in place of a shell. In the second case, a setting I co-developed, where 'succubus' is an anti-personnel military construct designation.

Because it's 1 am in the morning and the designers ain't getting paid by the hour, their reasoning was somewhere along the lines of "Eh, fuck it we've finally finished the damn thing, no need for meaningful names... Let's see, it screws people over and takes their soul, meh, 'Succubus' will do.". Not all the constructs have appropriate names, it varies with the designer.

There's a difference between "doesn't include a weakness betrayed by the name" and "has a name that will make sure your construct is roundly mocked by anyone not currently in combat with it".

You know, I've been meaning to watch it, but I've only seen the first episode. Does it cover anything I wouldn't already know?

Has a lot of history you wouldn't know. Even if it didn't, Neil is pretty awesome and I would recommend it regardless.

Noted.

*Cue Will waltzing in, waving around an eldritch rifle* Wait, would they be aware of Fate? It tends to keep itself obscure by only having one contractor active at any one given point in time, so statistically speaking, chances are, Cyrielle's predecessor wasn't human and didn't go anywhere near Earth.

Yeah, but Cyrielle is more likely to try drink-spiking than infiltration. During the war, she was an assassin, not an infiltrator.

I wonder, we have enough metal for a sword left, ifr we just turn it into ammo, we could surely supply Will with some orichalcum ammo. It's probably more efficent on a god than organ failure, assuming gods don't really need organs. I mean, to give us anti-illusion support, Will has to be able to survey the battlefield anyway, and since he is kinda squishy, should do so from a distance. Might as well look through the scope of a sniper rifle and shoot, whenever there are currently no illusions that need warnings.

30. She does have 50 STR though, which equals a HP total of 750 when all's said and done. In other words, she had a 78% chance of tanking the damage that ICARUS just did, assuming that she was at full health.

well, most importantly Neferis is not divine, so she would have only taken x2 damage, not x6 damage, which is really the defining factor here

Lol. Samson has a STR and END of 19 both, but with his limitations ability he can triple them both to 57. Granted he would take sooooo much damage from doing so, and he doesn't gain a larger health total either. So if he tripled both his END and STR he would take 60 damage, but becuase two stats were trippled he would take 40+80 damage, so a total of 120. IF he also trippled his Dex, He would take triple the damage, so (20+40+60)*3 or 360 damage which would leave him with 39 Hp left.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: USEC_OFFICER on April 14, 2014, 03:39:11 pm

In other words he'd lose more health increasing his END than the amount he'd save in increasing it. Good to know.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on April 14, 2014, 03:41:06 pm

correct lol. However, He can triple one of his stats and double the other two just fine. His 4 antimagic pistols also help out. Especially when he uses live ammunition instead of his normal blanks. ((Imagine a bullet with potent antimagic getting lodged inside of a magic user's body. No magic until it's removed)

considering he will already be under the effect of strong anti magic in the field, the amount of magic he will be left to cast will probably be weakened enough that the anti-magic bullets will at least give him a malus, that slowly accumulates

So, let's say samson used his dual P-90 mode and used his normal ammo to literally pepper the god with antimagic, then switched to the Orichalcum rounds and peppered him with those?

Because it's 1 am in the morning and the designers ain't getting paid by the hour, their reasoning was somewhere along the lines of "Eh, fuck it we've finally finished the damn thing, no need for meaningful names... Let's see, it screws people over and takes their soul, meh, 'Succubus' will do.".

...

They're paid to make functional, practical constructs, not make up impressive, intimidating names.

So, basically their engineers run the marketing department.

Why would they even have a marketing department? They were part of their state's military.

I mean, to give us anti-illusion support, Will has to be able to survey the battlefield anyway, and since he is kinda squishy, should do so from a distance.

Yeah it doesn't. It just partially unravels and repeatedly impales the target with a tendril. Depending on how hard it is to run a god's body, Cyrielle may be able to make him attack himself.

No mindlink. It's a summoning ritual. A very odd summoning ritual stemming from overshot and misunderstanding.

I think it may be like time dilation.
Alice and Bob are on a spaceship traveling at close to the speed of light.
Alice teleports out and magically matches the velocity of something moving at far lower speeds.
After ten years, she teleports to Bob and magically matches his velocity. More time has passed on her frame of reference's than Bob's.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

Yes, but in this case Alice would have aged and experienced a week unless something made her not.

And in this case Bob would also have experienced a week from his point of view unless something made him not.

Do you see why this doesn't make sense?

Not really, time dilation means that time in the spaceship passes slower from Alice's perspective, hence how more time could have passed for her than Bob. The magical velocity matching is the acceleration that breaks symmetry in this case.

Time is but a mere constant. The passing, inconsistent illusion we see in the wake of light's consistent speed.

Velocities close to c experience noticeable time dilation. From an outsider's view, time passes slower for them.

Alice becomes that outsider.

She returns having aged faster due to her lower velocity.

But she is unable to tell the difference between the time that passed in the void and outside. Therefore unless something happened to cause her to experience the difference in time she would only experience a week in the void.

aaugh relativity

what the fuck is even going on?

I thought we established that the time stream of Void is at least pretty damn flexible. There are probably limits on where you start and end on the Creation side, but it seems to me like within Void itself time is a very fuzzy thing. In other words, it follows plot.

This means something caused Ashley to think she was trapped in the void for 10 years. It could have been her getting 'killed'.

Well, think about  it. Ashley teleports all over the place, but we don't know how 'voidwalking' actually works. It's possible she experiences quite a bit of time in the void on ordinary teleports to begin with. That suggests that the time stream is already scaling in the proper direction, at least.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on April 15, 2014, 03:28:22 am

Point. So if she couldn't leave for ten years until Nodoka reopened the gate and she thought that time scaled that way, there's no issue, it explains the circumstances perfectly. That solves the matter.

ALternatively, she really DID spend 10 years, but she was able to choose her exit time with some freedom and thus chose the smallest gap she could, which happened to be about 1 week. She had people to get back to, after all.

ON the other hand, it can be FTL regardless, since it isn't moving through Creation's spacetime and therefore isn't subject to Creation's relativity.  As far as Creation is concerned, the Ashley that disappears in  an instant in one place could be totally unrelated to the Ashley that reappears in the same instant in another, apart from being identical.

Gurgle is a small slime girl that Mimi like to hug and play with her hair.

Oozy is much bigger, and is Gurgle's mother. They like to get on your head and pretend to be hats.

First off, I do not condone anything they did :|

Secondly, it's an entire race that feeds off of that. It would make sense for them to have a completely different view of what the rules for it are. Hell, she probably saw it as a kind of wish-fulfilment for her, since Yuri is probably not going to have ANY chance to do that sort of thing in the near future and Selina wanted it.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: RangerCado on April 15, 2014, 12:05:18 pm

Selina will go along with most things she gently pressured into. With people she trusts, she thinks their not doing anything to harm her, so she lets a few inhibitions go. Selina didn't fully want that, but went with it cause Yuri would never hurt her.

That's not an assumption. It's the truth.

I believe the reason we agreed on is that the past is a concept, nothing more. Trying to travel to the past is like trying to travel to pie (not as in a pie, as in, literally, pie).

You can, however, travel to a specific pie. Can you travel to a specific past?

No, because pie has actual instances of pies. Past is a concept only.

Could you draw it in MS Paint and have it work or print it out on a piece of paper?
What if you saved the image onto a phone, could the photo be used?
Do any of them have activation glows that cause epileptic seizures?
Can they be drawn via automaton?
Do they have a use-by date?
Can their individual components be drawn on transparent sheets as so that someone carries a modular unit around?
If it's projected onto something, is the original used up?
Can you spike someone's drink with them by etching them on the cup/glass/ice cubes/froth?
Does it have to be visible, or can you then cover it with concrete?
Could you scribble over one after activating but not using it and have it remain usable?
How much does the average magic circle user spend per year on drawing equipment?
Can they be mailed to a target in a similar manner to anthrax?

at Aphestadil levels of summoning, the circle is more or less just a fomality. Unless you are an incredibly powerful summoner, dragging such an entity into your service against it's will is more or less impossible. At that point, it's all about the sacrifices, more or less as an act of coaxing the entity to at least listen to what you have to say - and pacify them for daring to call them, if your matter is not to their liking.


that is to say, sacrifices lower the TN depending on their quality. that also works for low level entities. note, they don't always hae to be human souls.

Fuck Aphestadil, I ain't interested in her, I'm interested in whether someone could suddenly transmute Arthur's cup of coffee into a spray pure cocaine while he's drinking it. @Sanure may have said that the drink cannot be spiked, but he never said anything about not spiking the cup itself!

Well, some magic works through words and runes of power; you have mundane languages, which have words resembling an object or aspect, then you have a magic language, which has words actually for an object, and can incant the word to control said object or aspect. If you've ever read the Inheritance Cycle by Paolini, sorcerers and the such use magic this way. For example, the word Brisingr is for fire in the books, and can be incanted to control fire. More complex spells need phrases put in to give the spell specific instructions. The magic language has a name, but it is not known. If one did know the name, then they could control everything and thus have the power of a god.

How about chair spiking, or table spiking, or floor spiking? Now with actual spikes!

Wait, do magical circles have to be draw in anything visible? Or can it be transparent? Could you draw one in air and perform air spiking?

Nope, only materials matter (as far as Lunette is concerned at least). Drawing one in air probably wouldn't work, since the gases you'd be using would diffuse and break the circle.

All magic eventually comes down to spiking something with something.

Teleportation is spiking a location with yourself.
Conjuration is spiking the air with what you're conjuring.
Mind control is spiking someone's mind with your stuff.
Mind reading and intuition is spiking your own mind.
Rituals are used to spike something with something.
Transmutation is spiking something so hard it gets replaced.

In any event, I assume that at least one rule exists, directly or indirectly: you cannot travel backwards in Creation time by taking a hop through Void. Doing that would lead to all sorts of problems, grandfather paradoxes, and what have you.

That's not an assumption. It's the truth.

I believe the reason we agreed on is that the past is a concept, nothing more. Trying to travel to the past is like trying to travel to pie (not as in a pie, as in, literally, pie).

You can, however, travel to a specific pie. Can you travel to a specific past?

No, because pie has actual instances of pies. Past is a concept only.

Hardly. There are specific pasts. Five minutes ago, fifteen, an hour ago, last week, two years ago, the last time I went to the planetarium, the Renaissance...

That still isn't an accessible instance.

Why not? Your logic is that you can't go to the past because it's a concept (like pie), not an instance of a concept (like that specific apple pie). So why can't I travel to a specific past?

for stronger uncreated, it's more or less used to aim the call you send out. For weaker entities, it literaly drags them into creation against their will, and if the summoner has enough willpower, allows for a (usualy temporary) binding to a set of rules given by the summoner.




also Twi, Bismuth could at least provide the health potions ICARUS asked her to make. And in the end, a bit more sheer swordspower aimed at Zhengara during the fight is always welcome

Post by: Akroma on April 15, 2014, 05:24:15 pm

you don't, no. But it depends on whom you sacrifice to. For many that want you to murder someone for them, it's more about the symbolic loss of innosense that is put upon you from the killing, for some it matters whom the corpse belongs to, like a doctors corpse is good for a demon that causes plagues. "Just" corpses works best for Targunitoth, the domain tied closest to necromancy. They can always need more corpses. And that you likely desecrated a grave and someones eternal rest in the process is a bonus

If health potions are asked for, they get made. And she may or may not enjoy taking her bloodthirst out on him. So how did the plot go again?
I remember: Zhen is the god who cursed Alice. Zhen is a douche so we're going to kill him. Ada is someone else cursed by him? That's about all I got.

you don't, no. But it depends on whom you sacrifice to. For many that want you to murder someone for them, it's more about the symbolic loss of innosense that is put upon you from the killing, for some it matters whom the corpse belongs to, like a doctors corpse is good for a demon that causes plagues. "Just" corpses works best for Targunitoth, the domain tied closest to necromancy. They can always need more corpses

Does reading 4chan inside/near the circle count for the whole loss of innocence thing? Could you just throw money in and tell them to go buy their own symbolic stuff?

Emp, you're being dumb. Spacetime is a thing. This implies that time is quantifiable which implies that there is a concrete past in the sense of moving backwards along the time dimension. :I

Not necessarily, space-time is a thing, but it does not facilitate anything pertaining to the past. After all, it may be distorted to slow down time, but not even a blackhole reverses it.

Perhaps, but how are you sure that past is the same as the past of the original? After all, the universe isn't necessarily deterministic thanks to quantum mechanics.

for stronger uncreated, it's more or less used to aim the call you send out. For weaker entities, it literaly drags them into creation against their will, and if the summoner has enough willpower, allows for a (usualy temporary) binding to a set of rules given by the summoner.

So, it's kinda like a phone rune?

Quote from: Empiricist on April 15, 2014, 05:21:38 pm

The reasoning is simply that the past is merely what a person recalls and thinks occurred, that is, it is merely perception and knowledge, there is no concrete past.

...Darn. You actually explained your point of view well there. Now I need to resort to higher physics to try and do this. And I have to hope that reversibility applies to all applicable laws of physics.

Oh look, advanced science got involved without me.
You can't use one specific method to travel to the past. That's like saying that since you can't walk to London*, you can't get to London at all.
(For the sake of argument, assume you live outside the Brittish Isles.)
If you take all the particles in a system and simply reverse their velocities, it goes in the exact opposite direction than that it was before--ie, time effectively flows backwards. Mind, it's practically impossible to do so, but with magic, why can't you use such properties of physics to travel to the past? (Or effectively to the past, at least.)

Yes, I know it's a cop-out, but it is still theoretically possible, though not remotely likely for weird shit to occur. Very well, I shall present a different argument. How would you know it's the past? You can only observe the area you are in, not the rest of the universe, even if you could do so, his supposed past may have a differing past to the past of your own past.

1.) Well, the other option commonly considered is FTL, but that gets screwed over by mass dilation.
2.) Because magic is dictated by fickle beings known as the players and the GM. And the GM doesn't want time-travel backwards at all. I can't really present any meaningful arguments on that seeing as magic here involves arbitrary geometrical constructs, interest rates and sex.

It doesn't I noticed that, although @Elf stated time travel was possible, Yuri did the whole "magically reconstruct past" during my pseudo-plot so arguing it would be moot. Hence why I had to state that it was changing the past which was impossible. Yes, I know I'm moving the goalposts again and I do apologize, but it seems @Elf and myself overlooked what Yuri did and the non-standard forms of time-travel.

Basically we fucked up and didn't notice that Yuri borked reality.

Normally, the past cannot be changed. Ever. Even if SOMEHOW, you were able to go back in time, the things that happened in the past would still lead you into going back to try to fix what went wrong.

And of course you can't go back in time.

Actually, she didn't.
She performed @GWG's stated form of time travel.

Except that form of it does not allow her to change anything. Hence why I have been arguing that the only way to do so is merely warping reality to simulate the effects. Of course, if someone was capable of that, they'd probably just do whatever the fuck they wanted to directly without simulating a temporal rewrite.

Emp is correct. Whatever Yuri fucked up, she fucked up. She only changed something ELSE, in the present, in an attempt to fix what went wrong, not the past.

What's done is done. The past cannot be changed.

Also, time travel is impossible because OOC it's a pain in the ass to keep track of already, and IC the past is but a concept, and the future has Fate.

I suppose the easiest way to manage this is to allow alternate forms of time travel, as long as it cannot cascade its effects onto the present. Multiple worlds, reconstruction, they do not in themselves change the presence in accordance to the past. The only form disallowed is the classical "return to true past" one.

I do, of course, have a contingency proposal for when someone inevitably finds a loophole: a person's actions always affects their temporal coordinate only.
If someone somehow goes back in time and replace the daggers Caesar's murderers with shivs, the past remains the same, some unfortunate person in the present just suddenly gains shiv wounds.
If Pearl Harbor was altered so that the pilots of the bomber swam all the way from their carrier to the ships and shivved the damn things until they sank, then someone in the present randomly gets shivved so hard that were they a fleet of naval ships, they would have sank.
If Demons Run was sealed by getting shivved into submission rather than bound with virgin sacrifices, then someone, somewhere in the present gets shivved really damn hard. As in REALLY FUCKING HARD.
In all cases, nothing else is affected.
((And yes @Elf, as you may have guessed, those would have been three different levels of activation power Lucinda's weapon in gaiden used. It literally rewrites historical events and uses them to shiv people with activation power determining scale and event significance.))

Though if that contingency is used, the question is what happens if someone time travels and changes the past in a different way, such as say, saving the Titanic.

I'm personally in favor of the result being that either someone randomly gets shivved with enough force to sink the Titanic, someone randomly gets shivved with an iceberg or someone randomly gets shivved by an iceberg.

It is in Indigenous Australian beliefs and one of their creatures did pop in. It apparently refers to encompassing the past, present and future into a complete reality. The Dreaming (cosmological explanation, interestingly it's an ongoing process) is apparently metatemporal and their Ancestral Spirits (gods, more or less) run it.

I was assuming that it meant that in this setting, those god-equivalents exist beyond the veil of time and space like some sort of oddly benevolent eldritch aberration. Which probably would explain some of Australia's organisms.

Post by: Empiricist on April 16, 2014, 05:01:56 am

Does this ripoff of Knox's Decalogue suffice?

---

I.     The entity must be mentioned earlier either IC or OOC if it is to be suddenly involved, its involvement must be justifiable with that information; Suddenly being rescued or beset upon by flying pigs from the frozen plains of hell demands justification.
If you have things that may pop in, at least make sure everyone knows that they may be involved rather than showing in previously unknown entities.
II.    Any sufficiently powerful entity must have a reason not to intervene in a decisive in plots; Otherwise there would be no need for characters to do anything.
Such as being busy, apathetic, having an odd sense of morals, etc.
III.   No specific philosophical outlook may be favored over another; There are enough arguments already without getting epistemology involved.
Observer interference in void is all fine and dandy as long as empiricism, rationalism and the like make still be applied.
IV.   No hitherto undiscovered supernatural phenomenon may be used; After all, doing so would seem like an ass pull.
You could say it's theoretically possible, allude to it's existence or provide enough information for people to recognize it as a possibility, don't just shove it in there.
V.    No Crossover must figure into the story; There is a crossover ban after all.
People can go coplay and mimic whoever they want, just don't shove other fiction into this.
VI.   No accident must ever help the players or antagonists, nor must any party ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right, unless that is their ability of course; Again, that would be an ass pull.
Needless to say Will and to a lesser extent, Azerfernia are covered by the end bit, this also helps prevent exploitation of meta-knowledge.
VII.  Any lore or plot information is to be presented on request when its examination no longer risks spoiling or causing metagaming; Transparency and whatnot.
This also helps people figure out how parts of lore or plot they liked were constructed and replicate that.
VIII. The characters must not use abilities or skills which had previously produced for the inspection of the players; That would be Mary Sue-ish, would it not?
Not as in displaying more of their current ability at higher output or an application of it, as in, suddenly using an entirely new ability without warning, emotional trigger is not an excuse.
IX.   All relevant information that may affect other realms are to be disclosed to the players running those realms; Seriously, that needs to happen.
It's best to know the full consequences of your developments after all.
X.     Semantic abilities or similar phenomenon generally, must not appear unless the lore duly prepares for them; If creative interpretation may be used, there should be a hint to that.
For example, Wall Street has an entire treatise entitled 'On the Economics of Non-Sentient Entities' to justify its rather odd applications of economics.

... What?

Look...

Ashley was locked out of returning for two weeks. This applied in Creation.

While in the void, shit happened that created Nodoka.

Due to Nodoka's nature, her being created caused a bottleneck in Void travel, essentially locking down travel until she's old enough to open the door. Due to this, Ashley was unable to return until Nodoka had aged.

However, on the side of Creation, she still only had the barrier of a week or two due to stuff.

As previously noted, Void is weird. Among its types of weirdness is a nonlinearity of timespace relative to Creation.

Essentially, you can't travel back in time from your point of origin, but reentering Creation a couple weeks later instead of a decade? Completely doable, as her point of origin was when she originally entered.

And yes. That is the problem that is intended to be fixed by the introduction of the Gate, which if I had remained with the game would have meant that I would have personally looked over anything Void related and tried to keep it from being too nice.

It was more the suddenly leap to romantic attraction from friendly flirting.

But then we would have had to eventually hear about there being extremely pleasant void things due to how inconsistent it is.

Also the fact that Void and Ashley being a thing is pretty out of left field. I mean, earlier that day Ashley and Void suddenly make out and then she dies and ends up having to stay trapped in void for a decade because 'void is weird' and oh yeah, she now has a kid.

No arguments here.

No, 4chan is a cesspit of injokes and silly shit. Basically imagine a box full of every horrorterror and nightmare you've ever heard of or imagined in the dark recesses of your mind. And then give absolutely everything in it a nature that corrodes reality simply by existing.

Post by: Akroma on April 16, 2014, 12:47:57 pm

I think a better way to think of a character is not the powers, and developing it from there, but starting from the conflict. What's going on with this character, what does he want, how does he see others and how does he want to be seen. Why, for all of the above questions. Powers come later

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on April 16, 2014, 12:48:14 pm

Next time you want to introduce a character, think past that.

For instance, I was thinking of including a foil to Angel. A vapid little girl to Angel's child prodigy. Ice powers to Nuriel's fire, inhabited by a holy woman to Nuriel's demon. Other details about where the ice came from, where the girl came from, and stuff like that were added. Stuff like that. The powers evolved out of the reason for the character.

sincerely, I really do not care about a characters powers, so if you like it by all means, do it. As long as the char behind it works out well. Else, just flesh out one of the monstergirls or something

that being said, I'd prefer you stick to Kyle. At least he follows a clear direction and a sort of character development

Yeah... I should probably get to using them... The problem is that I don't really like playing as them to much since no one seems interested in them.

But I am going to slowly work on this character so they aren't as forgettable as Keith or as dislikable as Kyle!*

problem is, nobody is interested in them precisely because you are not working with them. Pick out a character who is not actually preoccupied with their own personal dramas like now, like Lunette or Will, or one of the Elf characters, and get one of your monsters befriended by them, and thus, char development will flow

I see no point to argue against a relationship that doesn't regard one of your own characters, KJ. I designed how Ashley works mentally, not you.

It may still be called into question, or explanation requested. After all, Kyle's actions have been called into question by others before, as have Cyrielle's and Shys'm Caes.

Like hell if I know what the fuck goes on in a person's brain. But something up there that has to do with the way she is, causes it. So, "vague" answer. This isn't something I can exactly delve into scientifically with the names of proteins and whatnot to tell you EXACTLY what happens up there, and I personally don't think I should be expected to.

So in other words, she's capricious and spontaneous? Fair enough. No one here needs to know the brain chemistry behind it, merely the character's own reasoning or traits that caused it.

They're kind of exaggerating it.
The flirtatious communication between Ashley and Void happened not too long after she joined the group. Which that was more than 2 months ago.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on April 16, 2014, 07:48:10 pm

Not necessarily, there was still a sudden jump between flirting and what happened afterwards. Plenty of the characters flirt with each other even if they have no interest in the other or aren't actively seeking the other so that may not be strictly a sign of attraction. That is, of course only my opinion, I can not be too sure about the reasoning of others.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sGiE10zNQM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sGiE10zNQM) Theres the first episode. The whole thing is about an hour 20+. You'll understand why we like it after watching it.

I'll give it a shot. The episodes are about half an order of magnitude above what your description of the length made me think, but eh.
Thoughts from the first few minutes: If that "dust" is the kind of thing it sounds like, there should have been a lot more security than an old man and whatever the customers provide. On that note, the bad guys were way too casual after the first mook got tossed across the room. And after a second got tossed out and the little girl started twirling around a scythe thing bigger than herself. It also bugs me how easily she took down the mooks, both from a realism standpoint and from a narrative standpoint. She's that skilled and inexplicably physics-breakingly strong, what will it take to challenge her? Then there's the VTOL out of nowhere.
The...interrogation or debriefing or whatever raised quite a number of questions, but the looks on the huntress and probable huntsman's faces after Ruby squees about being a huntress was amusing. Ruby's statement of wanting to be a normal girl with normal knees contrasts with what we've seen of her so far...she wants to be a huntress, because it's exciting and romantic, but she also wants to be normal?
Anyways, from what little I saw, I expected it to be absurdly over-the-top and light enough on reason and common sense that it wouldn't really fit my tastes. I'm going to watch more than that episode, probably, but...well, it exceeded expectations in that region.

Will sounds much more useful to IRIS than someone who is good at changing lolita clothes is

Will is more useful to IRIS than Kyle is.
...Actually, for most organizations that aren't 100% combat all the time, Will's probably the most useful out of everyone. He'd make a great accountant or something.

Quote from: kj1225 on April 16, 2014, 04:19:25 pm

Will isn't suited for getting hit in the face by magic things though.

You don't have to be Eidolon to be useful to Cauldron. I'd say that the Number Man is more useful to them, even accounting for Eidolon's celebrity status.

Also he's a prick. So that makes it less likely for him to work IRIS.

If IRIS discounts valuable assets because they're snarky and don't like stupid people, they're not for long in this snarky, stupid world.

Considering that experienced snipers can use MND to make a hit-guaranteeing lock-on, that Will's intuition further assists shots and that Will has 40 MND, he shouldn't really be in a position for being hit by anything to begin with.

1.) What I meant by being Switzerland, was not favoring either party. Not the literal way that Switzerland deals with things.
3.) Well, mainly the Kyle and Conny baby. Due to her dating Conny.

He was trying to keep a demon from massacring a village so I think he was the morally sound one. Of course, neither knew about the village but still.

Also, is Kyle actually a scumbag?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on April 16, 2014, 08:32:55 pm

1.) Yeah, generally attacking everyone pisses everyone off. Can't really blame Kyle for that OOC.
2.) Oh right, I nearly forgot that. Probably due to not seeing as Conny posts recently.

Oh, yeah, neither do I, OOC. Though you'd think that people would know about her katana after over a month of her being with the group.

That doesn't change the fact that an entire clan got massacred because Ashley wanted to be 'fair'.

They would, but getting hit with something that channels eldritch power to paralyze them isn't very pleasant I would imagine.

As stated, it also causes numbing to ease pain.
Also, Ashley didn't know about the clan or what Sen was going to do, so that's kind of irrelevant.

There were only three PCs involved at the time, I don't think Yuri could fly, Kyle was locked in combat and unless shooting him in the head before he hit the ground counts as saving, Cyrielle couldn't do shit :P

How is he now anyway? Still sore over the whole being forced to massacre his friends and family gig? :P

Also, since the negative Nancy x2 is not going to happen, I've gotten more things for the Lolita.

She is slightly vain (slightly meaning she likes to show off her awesome fashion and will order cannon fire on those who tell her it's bad) and enjoys drinking. Especially around people who don't know about her condition since it makes them act funny.

Here, @Elf! Have some lore and a poorly drawn image!

Spoiler: Summoning the Grim Reaper (click to show/hide)

By using the associated magic circle, the grim reaper may be called upon to enchant or create an implement, the power of the result is proportional to the total payment value. Generally, more powerful artifacts may be created by inscribing a colossal magic circle directly underneath the headquarters of a county's revenue services and using the circle several decades later. The summoning will fail if the total payment value is below a minimum threshold, however. All resultant implements are destroyed and all resultant enchantments are broken upon the summoner's demise.

• Recovering unpaid taxes in the circle.
• Sacrificing a tax evader in the circle.
• Performing a taxation audit in the circle

MAG to link or read. MND to control or force access.
Things like possession, voidwalking and true teleportation use MND to target.
Things like distortion attacks, energy blasts and picture magic use DEX to target.

Hence, both of Ashley's abilities require a MND to use, for void walk, MND to get the destination, for brainwaves, MND to control.
Selina uses a DEX roll to "target" the image or concept used, she later can take it out with MAG.

awww yeah, glassnoodle soup with poached eggs. It was a load of work to get them right, but maaan, this is living the life. Breaking them open with chop sticks, so the still runny yolk breaks over the glassnoodles to slurp up, together with the aromatic beef broth and the kick of the chilis - heaven

But really, it does sound good. Whats the recipe?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on April 17, 2014, 06:21:53 am

well, the poached eggs first, because that is a *bitch* to get right. I am still training how to do that. Working out better and better now.


take a pot of water, and add a dash of white vinegar - that stuff is crucial, as it helps the egg to coagulate. Heat the water just to the briiink of boiling, best to actually get it to boil, and then take it off the heat for a moment, then put it back on a lower flame. You just want a light simmer. Break the egg into a small container, like a cup or something, then take a whisk and swirl the water to form a little vortex, that helps the egg to stay in shape. Geeently let the egg slip into the water (not too slowly though), and then just let it simmer for 3 minutes, if you did what I said earlier well, it should stay in shape. It might have a lot of the loose egg-white trail around it, you can keep that stuff or remove it later as you see fit. (reminder, there are 2 kinds of egg white, the loose stuff that just flows away, and the thicker part that stays around the yolk, which takes longer to get hard - best observed when making a fried egg.

it should look something like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(http://kitchentested.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/img_7397.jpg)

doing several at once is kinda hard, you need a big pot for that. My advice is to just do one after the other, it's okay if they get a bit cold, the broth will warm it up again. 1-2 per serving, depending on how hungry you are

now for the broth if you don't feel like cooking out bones for a few hours, just do as I do and cheat using powder, when you are cooking at home there is no shame in that. Chop up a fresh red chili, in with it, add salt to taste, and a good amount of coarsely ground pepper, and a dash of soy-sauce. if you have some, coarsely ground ginseng, szechuan pepper and if you really want to bring out the best in the broth, a cinnamon stick (to be removed later, obviously), and a dash of vietnamese fish sauce. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavour evolve, then take a few vegetables of your choice, I used bean sprouts, spring onion and pak choi, chop them into whatever mode you like them and add for a minute or two so they dont get too mushy, also add a pack of glassnoodles. It'll only take 1-2 minutes until they are ready. Prepare the bowl by taking the glassnoodles and the vegetables first (the glass noodles will be entagled like crazy, so that is easy), set them in the bowl and fill up with broth to your liking, then set the poached eggs on top of the noodles. With chopsticks, break them open, and let them spill over the glass noodles, time to chow down. Note that the egg yolk transforms the broth, starting out as a clear, brown broth, and turning it creamy and yellow by the time you chopsticked up all the big parts and have to switch to a spoon.

I watched the fourth episode of RWBY before class. I've decided that there are way too many characters with way too little focus. We didn't hear Yang's name until the third episode, and that stoic guy with, um, what's-her-name from the beginning of the episode didn't even get named. Also, the names come up rarely enough that I can't remember half of them.
Moreover...the plot is off. I agree with Ruby's issues with the method for choosing partners (probably) and with Jean's concerns about how they're being sent in.

Quote from: kj1225 on April 16, 2014, 10:21:16 pm

She is slightly vain (slightly meaning she likes to show off her awesome fashion and will order cannon fire on those who tell her it's bad) and enjoys drinking. Especially around people who don't know about her condition since it makes them act funny.

Religious is fine. Calling people who follow other religions "heathens" indicates that he's religious in an entirely un-fine way.

EDIT: More RWBY commentary. A gun that turns into a javelin seems almost as stupid and irresponsible as throwing it at someone. Ruby pairing up with Wyss was painfully easy to see coming. Ruby suddenly has super-speed and is murderously--okay, manslaughterously--irresponsible.

Since you guys convinced me to watch RWBY earlier, this is where I'll note that the plot twist in Episode 12 was pretty much out of left field. I mean, sure, Jean was incompetent, but it doesn't seem in his nature to attempt such a major deception. Or to...well...not fail at it, between his apparent honesty/openness and his aforementioned incompetence.
Somehow, I liked predictability more than deep-left-field plot twists.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on April 17, 2014, 03:01:30 pm

I'd say that of course I do, but I have a feeling you're either not talking to me or not referring to the real-world Crusades for the Holy Land.

EDIT: More RWBY stuff, from Episode 16. Yes, I know it's supposed to be a shooty-shooty thing, but there's not much of that, and frankly if all it has to offer is action, I'm not interested.
Anyways. Blake's revelation was also out-of-left field; it would have been nice if the White Fangs had been better-described before that. I had thought they were just some gang. Another out-of-left field thing is the knowledge that Blake wasn't supposed to obviously be a faunis.
There are too many twists being thrown in for the relatively minimal amount of plot present, especially when the twists have zero foreshadowing and often make little sense. And while I'm at it, how the hell are the White Fangs' VTOL thingies anything near stealthy? They should have been caught early on. Oh, and with the firepower Penny's capable of dishing out...well...again, I'm doubtful that any combat-based threat will be even half a threat. Ever.

Pretty much the show (to me. This is my opinion) is about how the four girls, Ruby, Wiese, Blake, and Yang, develop as friends and how they solve some secret mystery embedded in the show (Like seriously, what the hell is the headmaster planning?). Also, that Scyther Rifle is awesome and Ruby made it herself with help from her grandfather, And the spear gun has proven how useful it is time and again (seriously that catch though XD) These are just my opinion, as Cado, Elf, and anyone else who likes RWBY will have differing opinions.

Kind of interesting, I guess, but it's been shoved to the side and downplayed enough that I barely notice most of the time.

Nothing special.

And the spear gun has proven how useful it is time and again (seriously that catch though XD)

Why the hell do they have an expensive-looking, complex, non-explosive weapon which is commonly just thrown away, without even any way to snag it back?

Quote

Also, I like RWBY. It's good action.

Eh. The action is, in my opinion, pretty mediocre. They rely on the awe factor of the weapons too much, and they're just so absurd. Not to mention that if you're watching it for the action, you're watching maybe 20% of the episodes.

Not helping matters is that those characters that in my opinion are the most interesting are barely seen (*cough*Ren*cough), while the main characters are comparatively...well...painful cliches.

Actual combat effect as follows: at the cost of MP, an Id projection may be physically manifested with a maximim of two active at any given time, when Cialo has at least one Id projection, focusing their field onto someone allows their soul to be read via their own Id and their next action copied and performed by Cialo BEFORE they themselves do so, this is performed with the same resource cost, furthermore, for each Id projection active, Cialo can perform that action again. The limitation being, they have no idea what that next action will be and there is a slight cost each time when performing an Id-copy.

Personae isn't true magic though. Much like how Kyle can still summon Merlin in an antimagic field, @Xantalos can still post random messages in one.

There happens to be a perfectly useful Mind mage in the woods watching the castle who happens to know a spell that can fully remove all buffs and debuffs from all inside of the battle area.

on d50s, a reasonable decrease is -5 for every attack already dodged, possibly -10 for every hit already taken, as those tend to send you offbalance even more, but that is optional

I suppose it means that if Zhengara attacks someone, a succesful roll from Samson means that attack is negated and the attacker takes damage. If Samson fails, he takes the damage right on, I guess.

seems a bit OP like that, so I guess the target takes less damage than from a specialised attack, and/or Samson takes more damage than usual if he fails.

I dunno, Sanure, how does it work?


edit: also even if Marie is no fighter, she might also backup Lunette and Hilda with some extra mana, should the fight be much longer than anticipated, or if the shield temporarily needs an extra boost

Pretty much. And last I checked she had at least 50 STR, so it's maximum damage right off the bat with a little extra on top. Mind you she gets no damage multipliers for that attack. Imagine if she had a set of brass knuckles made out of that god-killing metal. It'd be absolutely brutal.

After some discussion with @Elf and @Xantalos, I've decided to rejoin as a portal to spread the latter's influence portable shipping/promiscuity dampener.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Fleshpuppet Cialo Latka
Gender: Xantalos N/A
Age: Unknown
Details: A constantly shifting humanoid mass of energy, it resembles an inter-dimensional discharge of electrical energy, twisting and distorting whilst cloaked in seemingly liquid shadows.
Stats:

• STR- 15
• END- 15
• DEX- 15
• MAG- 15
• MIND- 15

Power: Xantalos Exposure Involuntary Id Projection, everyone in a large area around Cialo hears voices and receives subliminal suggestions from their Id. Mechanically, it is considered to be akin to a persona. They are unable to shut it off nor empower it, however, it may be focused, narrowing the area but increasing range and/or effect magnitude. The field is not obstructed by any state of matter and thus can act through walls. Note that that is solely an RP effect with no mechanical properties. Actual combat effect as follows: at the cost of MP, an Id projection may be physically manifested with a maximim of two active at any given time, when Cialo has at least one Id projection, focusing their field onto someone allows their soul to be read via their own Id and their next action copied and performed by Cialo BEFORE they themselves do so, this is performed with the same resource cost, furthermore, for each Id projection active, Cialo can perform that action again. The limitation being, they have no idea what that next action will be and there is a slight cost each time when performing an Id-copy.

I feel like introducing a superego-projecting character.
But I've already got a planned new character.

He's in a different corner of France. Unless Paris has extremely lax gun control laws and Will has a rifle with enough range to reach the castle (and can manage to land a hit at that range, power or no), he's not likely to be able to help.

If I am not back by the time the second turn is almost ready, ICARUS just repeats the attack of last turn, unless it was a colossal failure somehow, in that case...uhmm..someone do something that would seem like ti would work

There's a difference between "heavy" and "pointlessly, physics-breakingly heavy which forces her to be made out of something that undermines her very nature".

Straight attack requiring MAG and DEX rolls. Mag to determine how big and how much damage it does and DEX to aim it.

why was samson ignored?


also, what are the mechanics to hit around the illusion? I mean, we have Zhengara, who is getting penalties from the overcharged shield, and then we have Will pointing things out, we have the anti-illusion masks, and Kyle and ICARUS have various sensors. What is rolled to hit the proper target?

but shouldn't there be a mechanic to see through the illusions?


like, Zhengaras Mag +d50-Shield factor (possibly increased by Lunette spending more than 75 mana) vs ICARUS Mind+d50+Anti-Illusionmask bonus+Will pointing out stuff + possible bonus from ICARUS putting mana into her sensors to see through the illusion?




as for the Bonus Will would provide, I'd assume Wills Mind (+anti illusion mask, +d50) vs Zhengara Mag +d50 -shield

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

Again, Sobek gives no fucks. It's not that he can see through them, it's that he doesn't care because there isn't any risk.

He's going to run through all of them until he hits one; an illusion isn't going to do much to stop a charging crocodile god, no matter HOW good it is.

I for one would prefer a comapred roll *before* the attack roll to determine if you attack the right one. Else it's obviously a d5 roll, on a 1 you hit the right one

Post by: Kansa on April 18, 2014, 03:47:17 pm

It's a one in five chance to hit the correct one without any checking before hand. I did mean there to be a check before hand that's why I showed the strength of the illusion, I'll say that it's a mind check vs that strength. The anti illusion masks give a +50 bonus to that check and your formula for will's bonus sounds good to me. The shield is already factored in as to get even a small illusion to take effect he needs to roll over 100 on a magic check.

His dex is actually 45 :p, I just got lucky with the rolls.

Post by: Akroma on April 18, 2014, 03:52:57 pm

hmm, that would decrease his dex indeed, but I'd guess a called shot like that might increase the DC (easier to dodge an attack aimed at extremities than the center of mass, and justified if it gives additional side-effects). The dude has a dex of 90, so I'd need to spend at least 130 mana to get a 50/50 shot at hitting him, and putting that much mana into a 1 in 5 chance of hitting the real target? Even with 3 refills, that is super dangerous, as refilling probably implies that during this round, I am a sittind duck (then again every round I don't increase my dex to huge levels, I'm a sitting duck anyway..). That in itself is fine, thing is, I can't regen any health...


is there a mechanic that allows people to guard other people? like, could ICARUS call cover me, and whomever thinks it would be good to actually do that could actually tank a hit for ICARUS *cough*Kyle*cough* ?


+50 Bonus? sweeeeet


also, his dex being 45 is not possible, unless you are rolling d100s. Exhibit A: his first roll against icarus was 123

Bartimaeus could probably teleport with Alucard behind him and stab him with Voidcrosser as the two of them overcharge the sword with anti-magic, thus dealing massive amounts of anti-magic damage + orichalum, but yeah, overkill.

I mean, Bartimaeus probably could shapeshift things like that in the void because fucked up laws of physics and all that, but might have to do a MAG check or something to do it on Earth.

hmm, before I start making calculations ((ICARUS is essentialy a computer designed for battle, actually calculating exactly how much force to use is hardly metagaming)), Kansa a decision please, d100 or d50s? ((I'd assume if it's d50s, mask bonus becomes +25, rather than +50, because god damn that would be OP))


edit: of course the 110 TN is also based on d100s...so yeah, I guess sticking with d100 now is best, just to avoid retconing all the things

edit edit: hehe, my first calculating sets every roll (illusion, hit, damage) at a 50/50 chance. Oh god I am so tempted to do that, just to see just how "half full" the glass really is....

the other rolls are more important, mostly to figure out just what kinda bonus I can expect from Will on beating the illusion TN.


if it's Wills Mind + Mask +d100 -110, we have a 20% chance that Will sees through the illusion and thus...what? Does he give us a bonus to see through it too, or does he just tell us which one and no more roll is necessary? Also, how high a bonus? Full amount, half amount?

Post by: Akroma on April 18, 2014, 04:48:55 pm

hmm, arrived at a chance of 33% to pull this off flawlessly, though since especially the last roll has a huge tolerance for error, it's closer to 50% for a satisfying result. Assuming that Will beats the illusion, and offers a non-negliable bonus, it becomes a 75% chance...humm...




while I am not quite satisfied with the result (dangit, shouldn't have wasted quite that much mana on the measuring hit...), for ICARUS, 75% is more than enough. That glass is definetly more than half full (cue Kaiji soundtrack...)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on April 18, 2014, 05:26:33 pm

at the beginning, assuming Will announces Zhengaras illusion at the beginning (and he should, as he spent the last round watching him carefully and all), ICARUS clearly told everyone to stand back and then beat Zhengara into submission should he still stand - carefully. If ICARUS waited until the round is over, a hit would be guaranteed, but man, I have no way in hell to determine how much health Zhengara might have left at the end of the round. So I worked with the 294 health he will have at the start of the round. It was difficult to measure just how much the damage decrease would be, but since Elf said it is applied *after* multiplication, I thought that I should try to not overshoot 350 damage, so with orichalcum 87 damage. Not instakilling Zhengara is absolute priority. With a strength of 45, overshooting that is sufficently unlikely, and even if i do, I doubt it will put Zhengara deep enough into the red to kill him instantly. As far asd the hit chance goes, 20% to miss on the first roll - at the first glance. However, Will also has only a 20% chance of failing this roll. The chance of that happening is 4%. More than likely, Will will provide a bonus big enough to make sure ICARUS has a 100% at hitting the right Zhengara, especially if Lunette is able and willing to overcharge the shiled even further, which should further decrease the TN.


The meat and potatoes is the dex roll. At 105 Dex, Zhengara needs to roll *at least* 60 to not be auto-hit, so that's a chance of 40%. Now even assuming he rolls a 100, ICARUS only needs to roll above 40 to beat that, so even if Zhengara rolls a 100, the chance of dodging is only 40%. I am liking those chances. Same chances for ICARUS being hit by retaliation should he still be able to.


so in short, the chances of Zhengara escaping the attack is incredibly low. Problem is with the damage variation, but those chances are fairly good.




also KJ for the love of good make Kyle hold himself back. This god must not die - yet

((question, once the real Zhengara has been identified, does he have to be re-identifed every round, or can you stay on target? Similarly, once identified as an illusion, are you able to remember it is an illusion?))

If not, just check with Will. He's paying attention to all the bracelet feeds; between that and his power, he should spot any illusions pretty fast.

Quote from: Kansa on April 18, 2014, 04:04:36 pm

((If you hit the real one it will identify him, that will only count if you actually damage him though and leave a mark. If he dodges out of the way it does not identify him. Once a person realises which one is real they will remember, this is separate for each person though))

Except that Will would notice and inform people.
And that's assuming he doesn't notice which is which beforehand.

1. He's watching through everyone's bracelets. They can do that, you know.
2. Illusions will never be 100% perfect. Even a god will screw up, making things move a tiny bit wrong, so it's only maybe 99% right. Will's watching for that 1%.
3. The only ways for Zhengara to get it 100% perfect are to either make an actual copy of whatever he's making an illusion of, or to do the illusion on the mental level. If the latter is the case, Will will spot any discrepancies between the versions people see of it. If the former is the case, they're not really illusions, now are they? If neither is, see #2.

Will watches the battle over the bracelets from his hotel room, keeping an eye out for inconsistencies between what is seen and what is known, or between bracelets, or for any other signs of illusions or mind-affecting effects.

Since Kyle only started this turn, Will was doing that for a full turn before Kyle started. That's not just IRL time, that's undeniable IC time.

Will doesn't know his personality though. No one in the castle does I think.

He's a god of illusions. If he was anything less I'd say sure but he's a god making copies of himself. He can make them perfect simply by changing himself to match them.

And Will wasn't bothering to say anything at that time.

It's kinda implied by his actions. And even if not, why does that matter?
Even gods aren't perfect. If they were, there wouldn't be a story. Or any ability to figure out which clone is which, because they'd all react perfectly to being attacked. And, really, if you can figure out which is which by attacking, you can figure it out in other ways. If the problem is with reaction (ie, the clone doesn't flinch), then there's ample opportunities from things like feet not quite perfectly touching the floor to blinks in response to bright light being a second late. If it's with action (ie, the weapon doesn't penetrate--which wouldn't work with anything but melee weapons), there's still the dust in the air and whatnot, as well as Will being able to see things like fireballs and weapons going through the illusion.
And that's assuming that Zhen...Zheg...Zhe didn't go with the simple solution and simply project the illusions into peoples' minds, rather than physically making light and whatnot. In that case, he could easily get the person's mind to trick itself into thinking Zhengara (?) was visible in various locations...but each person's image would be subtly different, and Will would notice that.
It was implied.

If they can, why can't Will, who has feeds for all their senses plus his power?
And it's not OP, it's simply intended for a non-combat use, while everyone else's is intended for combat use.

I'm on GWG with this one, for two reasons

a) even assuming the god *can* make perfect illusions, right now he is caught in an extremely strong anti magic field, and Will is wearing a mask that is specificaly enchanted to combat illusions. At this point, it's a sign of extreme skill that Zhengara was even able to make any illusions at all, and naturaly, they would be less complex than what he could usualy do. Kansa said it, they are "simple". That was the whole point of the long ass preparation sequence, because without it, his illusions would have been impossible for us to deal with


b) while I don't agree that super intuition means super attention to detail, I do find it the perfect power to combat illusions, though not for the reasons GWG described. Intuition is really more of a gut feeling thing. When Will finds that one of the Alices "feels suspicious", chances are that this is the right one

There's far more anticlimatic fights, believe me. One time Kyle kept on rolling criticals and the boss ended up stunlocked for at least half the battle. Anyway, it's to be expected when the players stacked the field in their favor. Personally, I prefer for something less climatic like this to have happened if the battlefield was carefully rigged by PCs instead of arbitrarily having an enemy somehow put up a fight in spite of it for the sake of a proper fight.

also, ICARUS technicaly 2-shotted a god. Sure, preparation and teamwork played a large roll, but dayum. And there are still people who think beating back the layar was an achievement. I never thought that ICARUS ability could be used for such OP stuff. I supppose power of love and all, I'll hold back with such moves in normal combat

So um...

Did anyone actually pay attention to how Jacque's knives are stated to work? I mean, it's fluff and doesn't come up much, but still.

She could fix this just by cutting his damn throat, since it'd consume his soul as well as all the fragments scattered in other people.

lol.

But yeah I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm just doing what Jacque would do in the situation. In this case, that is kill the bastard because he doesn't deserve to live, several centuries in the future or not.

Post order doesn't necessarily denote priority. Later posts can intercept earlier ones, so long as it is reasonable. Jacque was already in place when ICARUS started to move, thus she had plenty of time to react. Thus, when ICARUS moves to essentially SAVE HIS LIFE, she killed him.

Basically, here's her thought process:

God-dickbag has cursed countless people, killed others.

Current victims are cleared up, okay.

If he's killed normally, he will come back and do it again.

therefore, best long-term option is to kill him and make DAMN sure he doesn't come back.

Look at it like this:

Jacque is a serial killer. Who targets people who commit heinous crimes with magic.

the bad guy is a person who committed heinous crimes with magic.

Therefore if given the chance, she is going to kill him dead.

I acknowledge that you worked hard to get here.

long story short, you're not allowed to dictate what other people do. You can have your character REACT to it if they'd have a problem with it, but that is, simply, what jacque would do in that situation. So she did it.

Tl;dr, I'm staying in character. Period. if you didn't want Jacque to act like jacque, you should have hired someone else to help.

Enough OOC in the IC thread. Seriously.

Also, Akroma, no offense, but you had ICARUS BRING IN A SERIAL KILLER. It's kinda what they DO to kill people. Complain about it all you want, but you called in Jacque, not anyone else. I'll agree it seems a bit dickish for Rag to do that OOC, but IC, it's exactly what I expect Jacque to do.

And anyway it's a win-win situation. No curse, no asshole god in a millennium, and no issues. The only thing I can see here is the kill steal, which, frankly, is stupid, because ICARUS didn't even call 'dibs' on killing Zhengara. True, she MIGHT have wanted to, but there was nothing stopping, say, Sobek from executing him, or Queen Mab from ripping his soul out for wine and cheese.

Hell, you kinda stole the kill from Kyle, Sobek, Lunette and Stella by that logic. None of us are complaining. We all get XP anyway regardless.

Akroma's going by the logic that she set everything up with ICARUS, so she should have gotten dibs on killing him, and to be honest, considering Akroma was the most active player by far during this plot, I can see why, but not justify it.

Anima also did as much. As did Lunette. Hell, Anima and Hyoma summoned the fuck, and taught her how to make weapons to kill said god.

Lunette, Will, and Kyle made it collectively possible to actually hit him.

ICARUS told everyone to do it, true, but as Alice is our ally, that would assume that we wouldn't have done it anyway. Who knows?

Elf, before the binding it was in ICARUS hand, after the binding, it's a divine artifact specificaly made to be inescapable unless Jemis wills it (And ICARUS is probably standing right behind Jaque).

It happens to be magically empowered water from said god's domain. Also, if you're going to tell me he can't interrupt it before she throws it or chains her up with it, I'm going to call bullshit unless the plot's GM says I can't do it.

Noone ever seems to plan around it when dealing with her, honestly, is all.

And not really given their short blade length and the fact that they're not exactly very useful against energy attacks or even melee attacks as long as they're not intended to grapple.

Armor doesn't work as well, yes, but that's about it.

Also yes, enchanted binding != enchanted super-damn-heavy or auto-aiming.

((As a note, if I was being a real jerk I wouldn't bother with this. I'd just point out that your description of it being 'propelled by a rocket' would mean it'd just tear RIGHT THROUGH HER. And then she heals.))

I will keep that in mind for the future. So please do not be sad Kansa, you were a good GM, and your plot was fun and engaging to play - else I would not react so emotionaly about Rag just fucking with it.

Say again that I was too stupid and should have known that Rag is a jerk who likes pissing on narratives, and I will have had enough. We were just talking nicely now and praising Kansa and there you go, taking Rags dick again and rubbing it all over me, repeating that sentence over and over again, thinking that me not replying to it somehow means surely didn't see it, lets say it again. Same for Kyle. HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST POSTS? I accepted it, so stop being such a bitch about me being a little brat. I yielded, to end the arguement.

Firstly, kj, that was completely uncalled for. Completely.

Secondly, Akroma, your bashing of Rag was ALSO uncalled for. I don't frankly care whether or not Jacque -not Rag, Jacque- trampled over ICARUS' -not Akroma, ICARUS- plan was unfair, you don't get the right to bash him for doing something IC. The dick metaphor was also very uncalled for. If you want to leave the game, it's fine with me.

Frankly, I don't care who or what it is, but this thread's locked. As I WAS in a good mood, I'll consider unlocking eventually, but because you people seem to be resorting to nothing but insults (yes, I'm referring to you and kj, Akroma) that is highly doubtful.

I will also consider locking IC because frankly this argument might be carried on there.

well, ICARUS battled and she set the fight up. But *support*? I dunno, is dealing about 800 damage to Zhengara, 500 of them well in advance supportive to the team?
also, she ordered the anti illusion masks, and got the orichalcum weaponry, but I am still not sure where set up and support ends


how much exp does ICARUS get?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on April 20, 2014, 09:27:48 am

Technically, no, but blah, the damage pre-battle is enough.

Actually, Hyoma got you the orichalum for that and Kyle made the masks, I think. They get the exp for that.

You DID arrange everyone into formation and shit- set up.
Damaged Zhengara pre-battle- support
Fought him directly- yep.

So yeah, I say you get about 90xp total (25+15+50)

Anyone who did all three can claim all three bonuses (Anima, Lunette, etc. I think.))

1 point, rolling for a perk.....
ICARUS gains Brisk- +5 to dodge.

Every five levels, you get 5 points, no perk.

Also, Lunette did not only man the generator, she is the one who upgraded it to even allow overcharging, which was one of the most important, if not even the most important part of the battle. That's the 15 and the 25 already. The 50 yeah, she didn't go unto the battlefield, I am not sure if that would apply.

Well, she's pretty bad at losing.
But beyond that? Other than not having sex (though this would take MONTHS to resolve and Loki IIRC isn't much better at it) there's really just a couple things he can think of as options. Most of them are games of chance, though, and she'd notice any signs of cheating, so it'd be... difficult to be assured of victory.
He'd probably remember the things she's REALLY good at rather... *cough* vividly.
Best bet would be to pick a challenge that isn't part of her bailiwick, however, so stay away from anything involving sex, reading people's intentions, or mind games.
Which is a lot of things, really, so that'll be a bit of a problem.

I'd like to bring up the Mary Sue thing again.
We should totally humiliate her by pitting her against a mere mortal and winning. A tech contest with Kyle, a drawing contest with Selina, something with Will, a cuteness contest with Angel/Meme/Meme...

Killing gods should be the product of generations after generations preparing for it, powering up until they could solo anything else in the setting, and then still trivially getting their asses dragged through the dirt, only maybe winning because some lucky bastard rolled 15 100s in a row. That would be a god fight worthy of my attention. P))

At that point, you might as well call it impossible. And not include gods as antagonists.
Besides, by the time you're preparing for generations, you should give the poor bastards a better chance than that.

also, possibly ghost-kyle

man, I'd love to see the look on Kyles ghost-face when he realises that souls are actually a thing and he really made a fool out of himself by dying and proving himself wrong. that and the reaction when he realises that he can now go invisible and through walls, heading straight to the showers to haunt them

Assuming of course the players actually fight them. Could be rather interesting if the Origins are just fighting other entities and the players are evacuating people from the killzones, trying to avoid being caught in crossfire, dodging stray attacks and cleaning up the aftermath like some sort of janitorial service.

I believe Grandiose would be one of those entities fighting the Origins. Granted it would be at full unchained strength, so he would be pretty destructive.

note, today *was* testwork. I will now have to wait until the personnel chef returns from vacation and gets into contact with me. That being said, I had a good innitial interview with the headchef, I had a good test-day and left a friendly and diligent impression on various stations and the sous-chef, and from what I heared a) the personnel chef *might* have another interview with me, she *might* just give me the contract. b) she asks a load of standard general knowledge questions, like capital cities, and (by my standards) simple math problems and c) it's che chefs that make the final decision

so yeah, I am fairly certain this'll work out just fine.

nevertheless, more interviews tomorrow

If Pandora's box has been yet to be defined, then can it please be defined as being "filled entirely with sentient razor blades that have a taste for eyes and genital skin"?

Or containing a cat with a 50% chance of being dead and a 50% change of being alive with it being impossible to determine without opening the box?

Or alternatively, containing a cat made entirely out of a swarm sentient razor blades that have a taste for eyes and genital skin (the blades, not the cat) with a 50% chance of being dead from smothering and a 50% change of being alive with it being impossible to determine without opening the box? With the box locked from the inside and thus impossible for the cat to have been killed without opening the box and impossible to have locked the box from the outside? :P

So not only is it a 4/4 for 4, but it essentially can be thrown out as an attacker and depending on if blockers where assigned to it or not you can just remove all counters on it after declare blockers step and have it hit for 16 damage. Sure, it just eats a removal but still holy shit that't terrifying. Hell, Path to Exile technically can't hit it since it isn't a creature, just an artifact that has the ability to attack. It also is colorless so there is little reason for most aggro decks to not play this as a 4 of.

Time for a random lore dump on Elpis! :P

---

A young lady in her early twenties, she has an odd translucency to her form as if an incomplete illusion she possesses feline features in the form of a pair of cat ears and a tail in the same hues as her hair. Her pale silver, almost pure-white hair is tied in a pony-tails just slightly off to the left, a small silk top hat of the color of the darkest nights is worn, angled to the right as it rests upon the feline ear situated there, obscuring it and adding to the asymmetry. Upon the a simple necklace string of titanium that she perpetually wears, there is a stylized pithos, adorned with a central square gem the same shade of vivid azure as her eyes. The rest of her fashion sense varies significantly. Generally, she is a horrible chef, though she is able to cook cheeseburgers, her favorite food, rather well.

---

The pithos is in actuality an anomaly, it is the current form of Pandora's box with its dimensions and mass distorted as to allow it to be worn, in actuality the space held within it is equal to that of the volume enclosed by a coffin. Locked from the inside with an embargo lock crafted by the Grim Reaper itself, ensuring that upon its use, the tomb of a box could never be escaped unless unlocked from the inside and preventing anything from perturbing its contents. Resting within it, Elpis' corpse lies. Killed. Asphyxiated. She is the only one inside the box yet she did not kill herself and there is nothing inside the box that could have killed her. Hence, what killed her must have then been removed from the box yet in order for that to have happened, the lock must have been undone and left as such. Yet it remains locked and the coffin sealed. Yet she also remains alive within the box, coexisting with her corpse, for until the box is opened, neither possibility may reign. Until the box is opened she is both dead and alive. Only when that box is open, are contents its contents decided. Yet if that may only be unsealed from the inside... and Elpis is unwilling to in life and unable to in death, then it shall never open. Thus this phylactery remains an eternal jewel, projecting a representation of the 50% chance of life, one manifested from the sadistic razors of suffering and held in the form of one filled with hope.

Elpis = LOL Cats + Schrodinger's Cat + Pandora's Box + Lich + Closed-Room Murder + HMRC Diplomacy + Obligatory Anthropomorphism

ICARUS essentialy 2-shotted a god, she is plenty terrifying. Also oh god, the formalities are all wrong. It's not atrifact - robot girl, it's simply Artifact creature. Also, even a 0/0 has to have the 0/0 in the corner. And what Atnegam said, ICARUS should cost like 7 at least

update: just got a call from the personnel manager, who returned from vacation. Everybody told me to be patient, that she'd have  alrge stack of stuff to work through etc. Nope. Appearantly, I left an impression on head and sous chef. They put me on priority. After they heared I also had interviews with other hotels, they actually put me on the top of the stack and personaly told her to get me on contract, before someone else does. It was a 100% yes.


holy shit. (also shit, now I need to life up to that impression...)




on other news, also had in interview with a fine french 5-star luxury hotel today, which went super well. You know how they usualy say "don't call us, we will call you?"
they gave me a number and told me "We won't call you, you call us, and please tell us as soon as possible if you have decided for us."


I...I realy I have no idea how this is all happening. Two of the biggest and most prestigous hotels in Berlin are actually *fighting* for me. That's 2 interviews I had so far, and 2 100% yes's. Since when was this so easy? Did I somehow get a huge charisma update without knowing? Was the world patched and I didn't check the patch notes?

Quote from: Sanure on April 20, 2014, 11:14:37 am

Heh, just reading IC from december and just remembered that Will still has the demon blood inside him and a fiery seal on his arm in the form of a tattoo.

Seal...forgot that bit.

I should probably revisit that sometime.

Well, originally only persona users got them to be a bit stronger but then people got butt hurt over that...

...because
A. it makes no sense,
B. it's more interesting when people have unique perks,
C. personae aren't inherently weaker, and
D. the GM providing perks lets him adjust the relative power levels of people to help balance. In theory.

Quote from: Akroma on April 20, 2014, 01:08:07 pm

Kyle gets much stronger perks though. This fear-attack is a battle-decider, and having physical damage halved? that's gigantic

Hence my above statement. Especially since Kyle, between his tech and his persona, is one of the more versatile and more battle-capable characters.

Quote from: IamanElfCollaborator on April 20, 2014, 01:15:02 pm

Kyle gets stronger perks because Personae can't really do much short of attack the enemy with whatever it has as a weapon outside those.

Riiight.

Those aren't perks, either, as much as active and passive skills.

So, they're perks.

Pandora is not a theoretical physicist. It's an online radio station, a planet full of hive-minded wildlife suspiciously reminiscent of Sid Meier's Chiron, and of course a mythical Greek girl, but not a theoretical physicist!

Or alternatively, containing a cat made entirely out of a swarm sentient razor blades that have a taste for eyes and genital skin (the blades, not the cat) with a 50% chance of being dead from smothering and a 50% change of being alive with it being impossible to determine without opening the box? With the box locked from the inside and thus impossible for the cat to have been killed without opening the box and impossible to have locked the box from the outside? :P

That's just being silly.

since the last picknick, which was about 25000 posts ago, they have not even spoke to eachother. Also, yes, there is other things, but no healthy relationship I have ever been in, or heard about that was not in a way wait-until-marriage oriented or hindered by trauma excluded sexual attraction. I do not mean to sound like a perv, but wanting to fuck the one you love is absolutely natural and normal, and for me it would be a cause of concern if my significant other displays no interest in that whatsoever.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on April 24, 2014, 05:24:38 pm

yeah, well, gym. Worst shit ever. Just that small amount of really unfocused efforts at *sports* are not enough to get good at that in any way shape or form. It's mostly a motivation thing, even if you suck, teachers will grade you based on effort, rather than talent. Which especially with gym class is difficult. I only really turned that around in my last year at school, when I began to work out. Once you have accustomed to *the burn*, you'll like it, rather than fear it, and actually put effort into such stuff, rather than trying to not get exhausted, you will try to get exhausted.

I don't want to sound like a pretentious healthnut, but getting into shape is *actually* good for you in many ways, and heck, spending as much time on the PC as you can clearly see I do, I know what I am talking about when I say it's difficult to get into. But really, the actual fitness is just a side effect, what it really brings you is confidence. A good physical shape will change the entire way you walk through life, I am not kidding. It's also a good way to get into discipline as a whole, something so, so many people lack.


---------


also yes projeck, I do indeed find that odd. I am not saying that sexual attraction is the main focus point of a relationship, hell no, but it is literaly one of the main aspects that seperate a relationship from a friendship. I don't need to fuck someone to care about their problems and feels sad when they are in trouble, or to hug and cry into their arms telling them my problems. I certainly would not fuck them though. If you really are in love with someone, you will feel attracted to them, even if they are technicaly ugly. In a relationship that goes beyond friendship, I would feel like something is really missing if you leave that out.

Quote from: Akroma on April 24, 2014, 05:41:43 pm

anyway, yes, a love-relationship outside of family and normal friendship that exludes sexual attraction entirely is absolutely abnormal. I don't mean that in a degradatory sense, I mean that literaly, it's far off from the norm, and in my personal opinion, and yes now it gets degradatory, such people must have some weird ass issues going on

Does Will's power count?
Remember how I said I based Will off of Tattletale from Worm? She mentioned that her power would make intimacy unpleasant; she also has a better ability to turn off/ignore/not use her power than Will does.
Also, it makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Quote from: RangerCado on April 24, 2014, 06:26:11 pm

"Even non-religious people will sometimes completely abstain from sex in a relationship, even their whole lives until marriage. Sexual attraction, thats completely understandable and I will admit I am attracted in that way to Hihi, however, we both are waiting until marriage before doing anything of that nature."

Quote from: Akroma on April 24, 2014, 05:24:38 pm

it is literaly one of the main aspects that seperate a relationship from a friendship. I don't need to fuck someone to care about their problems and feels sad when they are in trouble, or to hug and cry into their arms telling them my problems. I certainly would not fuck them though. If you really are in love with someone, you will feel attracted to them, even if they are technicaly ugly. In a relationship that goes beyond friendship, I would feel like something is really missing if you leave that out.

What about asexuality? Or some sort circumstance that prevents intercourse? Such as psychological trauma or HIV?

not any action. For instance the Str increase is clearly described as cutting power, not physical strength. Having a sharp knive does not mean you can lift a rock with it. Increasing the sensitivy of your sensors via Mind does not mean you get super smart, nor does a shield that pushes things out of their trajectory (like aiming for the center of a very rapidly spinning ball (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex/Ships_and_Vehicles#Normandy_Shield_Upgrade:_Cyclonic_Barrier_Technology_.28CBT.29 (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex/Ships_and_Vehicles#Normandy_Shield_Upgrade:_Cyclonic_Barrier_Technology_.28CBT.29) , the audio file), which does nothing to stop magic, or even melee attacks, as those are not on a set trajectory after being fired.

it's a win or lose situation. At those absurdly high mana costs, if this attack did not work, the battle is over for ICARUS. The name is programm. Fly high, and possibly burn yourself up.

I highly doubt that, and even if so, it's frikking useful. Yes, it is. Stunning is highly useful, half damage from physical attacks even moreso (especially combined with Kyle's already-high HP total and armor). It's a wider array of powers than anyone has. Finally, you're ignoring the tinkery stuff, which is essentially the same as Yomiko's and Lunette's entire powers...and they don't have all those other powers you have.

Indeed. That does generally indicate a certain lack of disregard for human life, ranging from "minimal" for smoke grenades, greater for flashbang and concussion grenades, and greatest of all for frag grenades. If you fail to possess regard for human life...you're probably going to kill anyone who's being threatening to you, 14-year old, female, or otherwise.

It's a goddamn GAME. You guys are going to rage about everything, feel free to walk out and take a break. Please. If it avoids arguments and if it makes you feel better, leave the game for a while. It's hardly fair to kick out a character when others can and are more OP.

If people are feeling that they have to remove characters then seriously, there is something wrong. I come on this to try and not feel irritated, only to come straight into this nonsense.

The only problem I can see is the OP halved physical damage, which to be honest, is more of the RNG's fault. A targeted fear can miss, be rolled against or what have you.
Whatever the hell else he has was rolled for.))

First question: Why are you using the RNG? If I was in your position, I would just make up perks to fit the characters.
Second question: What RNG/table/etc are you using?
Third question: If Persona abilities are supposed to be moves, explain Kyle's first perk. Wait, that wasn't a question...
Fourth question: Why are you trying to shoehorn Persona abilities into this game? If I introduced a character from Greyhawk, would we need to hack together a Vancian magic system?
Fifth question: Are you aware that my complaints about Kyle's power level are more due to the fact that he has a lot of abilities than any single ability being OP on its own?
Sixth question: Are you aware that my complaints are more directed to kj complaining about Kyle being underpowered than being any kind of demand for rebalancing? (Although I'd definitely curtail the next powerful perk you roll for him...)

Bit of a pain that that couldn't coincide with when I was absent, but eh.


Been playing Civ V as Harald Bluetooth Grimson, who is of course a ViKing. I invaded England, the only player ahead of me (or the one right behind me) with a couple berserkers, some archers, and a fleet of ships. After a dozen turns or so, and a couple captured cities (one annexed, Nottingham puppetted), I was digging in to try and deal with unhappiness (which I just discovered really sucks when you go below 10--this was the first game I ever went below 0), I received an excellent surrender: A good amount of gold and resources, plus a bunch of English cities!
One guess as to what happened next.
30 Unhappiness, a whole puppet nation, and nothing to control unhappiness with but coliseums.

Doing a survey of the Danish Empire. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out the percentage of Norse to Anglo citizens.
First, I need to guess what the population numbers mean. It;s pretty obvious just glancing around that they aren't logarithmic. My largest city and capital, Copenhagen, has a population score of 18; Nottingham has a population of 1. (Not surprising--it's on a one-tile isle. A tisle?) If we assume that it's a straight base-ten logarithmic scale, and that Nottingham is just the sheriff yelling at us Vikings to get off his lawn, Copenhagen would need to have...well...10¹⁸ people. Wolfram Alpha doesn't seem to help much with interpreting raw numbers. It does, however, tell us that they would weigh around 5.3% the mass of Earth's oceans. Even if we assume it's a base-two logarithm and that Nottingham's sheriff is still alone, that's a more reasonable population for Copenhagen of a bit under 300,000. Provide a more reasonable estimate of population for Nottingham Tisle, though, and Copenhagen quickly spirals into being larger than most cities around today. So...let's assume that it's linear.

Aside from Copenhagen's 18, I have three native Danish cities of 12, 5, and 3 population. The English cities I got had populations of 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, and Nottingham's 1. That means there are 37 Norse population units and 18 Anglo. In other words, I have about one-third of my population, as well as well over half my land, English. (P.S. London, probably the only city the Queen kept, had 11 Population. I took about two-thirds of her population.)

Attempts to deal with rampant unhappiness from 22/59 of my population being the newly-annexed English (I missed a 4-pop tisle city) have been...slow. I also had some uprisings. First a couple pikemen, adjacent to my capital. They pillaged some hunting camps (unusual activity for rebels...I'd expect them to beseige the capital), before being killed by the defenses of Copenhagen and Aarhus, the largest cities in the known world. A few turns later, three longswordsmen showed up (despite me never having made any, eh). I was dealing with them; it took a bit of effort, the sacrifice of my berserker stationed in Copenhagen, and time, but they were just about dealt with when two horsemen (another unit I've never built, and indeed that I've been delaying learning how to build because I didn't have any horses before I took over England) appeared about as far as they could be from a city while still being on the right island. I've been working on a bit of a militarylet to deal with them...but it'll be a while.
Fun fact: Remember the pikemen? The second was taken out by two barrages from Copenhagen, with a Polynesian trieme performing drive-by bombardment to help. Despite scales being wonky. (One of the big things that bugs me about Civ V's ranged combat, although it really is needed to take cities these days...)

1861. A revolution sweeps through the Danish Isles. A revolution of Order, and of equality. No longer will the far-flung islands be such a burden upon the leaders of the land, nor will they burden the common man. For a brief time, a wave of obedience and optimism, unheard of since before the Anglos, swept the Danish isles. Then the news came that the English cities and the Anglo-blooded citizens of the isles were to become treated as any other would be, and disorder began to set in once more...
TL;DR: I entered the Industrial Era and adopted the Order policy. I was glad that my happiness--which had just managed to reach 1--was up to 13! I promptly started annexing the English cities, hoping that the bonus Happiness from Order would soften the blow of adopting Order. I think that the puppet cities already counted, though. Current Happiness: -3.

Other notes: Darius convinced me to declare war on long-time ally but minor nation (competing for the bottom with the glorified city-state of London) China. I didn't do much with this before being offered a peace treaty, but during the war he overtook me in score. I'm not sure if it was from the war or if my struggle with unhappiness dragged me down, but either way...urgh.
Also, the islands south of me are kinda like Greece--they're full of city-states. Speaking of which, I discovered that Lhasa--dragged into war against me by England--was still at war with me despite the subsequent peace treaty and then England stopping being its ally. I...wow.

Well, brief me on what the hell is going on with Rose and why ICARUS doesn't want anyone to know. From what I know, it looks like she's suspecting her of doing something for no good reason and is trying to force a confession out of her and/or find evidence.

Post by: Akroma on April 26, 2014, 04:11:36 pm

The story Rose gave us when she came to the castle seeking help stands against evidence Lunette discovered that what she told us was a lie. Appearantly, Rose is little short of 100 years old, and/or undead, as she also had a nice obituary going on. Since she gained acces and trust of the group via false premises, ICARUS assumes that Rose might have purposefull deceived, infiltrated and abused the groups resources for whatever her goals might be

So. A person shows up to the castle and doesn't share everything about who she is (the details left out being ones that are probably completely safe to do so). Therefore she must be up to something.

No, a person tells lies to gain sympathy and access to a military base. This would be exactly the way a spy who has any idea about this group at all would go about infiltrating us.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on April 26, 2014, 07:01:54 pm

There are some problems with that analogy.

1. When did she lie? Did I miss a scene where she stated that she was only 20?
2. The lack of information in question was utterly meaningless. "I am immortal" is kinda less important than "I am a spy".
3. There are many other explanations for why she hadn't told. She might not have thought it was important. She might not have thought it was appropriate to mention. She might have expected us to disbelieve her. She might have been waiting for a chance to mention it without coming off like "Hey, I'm over 100 gaiz, so yeah that's cool". She might not have known. She might not actually be that old, and the obituary you saw was simply someone with the same name or a similar appearance. And yet you assume the one thing that gives you an excuse to be a horrible person to Rose, who ICARUS is known not to like.
4. Will. If Rose was hiding something that big, he really should have noticed. Moreover, you could have spent two minutes alerting Will to the oddities and having him try to figure out what was up.
5. Military bases have a much higher sensitive material:local firepower ratio than the castle, between its lack of strategic value and the fact that it's crawling with magical people.
6. Most importantly, spies at military bases are given trials before they're declared guilty!

More Harald, the game's approaching its end. I decided to start working towards a scientific victory. In the meantime, Darius of Persia convinces me to attack Alexander the Allegedly-Great. I captured a few of his cities and attempted to offer him decent surrender terms (the army was taxing my economy and the puppet-cities were pushing me back into unhappiness), but he didn't even let me negotiate. Idiot. I just took one of his biggest cities, he only has a couple left, and my army's still on his doorstep.
Before all that, though, Korea declared war on me for some reason. Not much has come of that. They sent ships to screw with my most isolated city, also a major production capital and pretty much undefended at the time; I sent some ships, defeated their fleet, and began bombarding their mainland army. Once I resolve the Alexander situation one way or another, I'll be bringing my full might to bear on Korea. Unless they've surrendered by then.
Darius doesn't seem to be doing much in this war. Neither did Kamehameha, when he was independently at war with Greece. The AI doesn't seem to like invasions very much.

The rotted remains of the coffin is in there, but no body. The soil of the gravesite seem to not have been recently disturbed, so if her corpse was dug up and removed it must have been several years ago at least.

Or, the body might have rotted. Believe it or not, a well-made, varnished, and otherwise not-just-a-plywood-box-you-shoved-Grandma-into coffin can easily last longer than any fragments of body recognizable as such.


I saw the Lego Movie. It was interesting...it was a bit like a cross between Toy Story and Darkseed. And it had a plot, too, but I'm just trying to figure out how the two worlds meshed together because that's more interesting than contemplating any aspect of the plot.

It was also hilarious that right after the movie ended, my dad downloaded Everything Is Awesome onto his phone and started playing it on the way home. It was hilarious as none of us expected it.

Kyle's kid by Camille is slightly more probable. And hey, Camille is actually an alien! I think. Kinda?

heh, again the vote for the 50 best restaurants in the world were cast, and again only a single german restaurant made it unto the list :(

also, the Noma in denmark is *again* on first place. Man, how could they not, their menu looks amazing:

Red currant and lavender
“Nordic coconut”
Moss and cep
Cheese cookie, rocket and stems
Pickled and smoked quails egg
Caramelized milk and cod liver
White cabbage and samphire
Æbleskiver, lovage and parsley
Sea urchin toast
Burnt leek and cod roe

Apple and kelp

Shrimp and ramson
Radish and yeast

Beef tartar and ants

Egg and fresh greens

Beetroot
Sloe berries and aromatic herbs

Cauliflower and pine
Cream and horseradish

Wild duck
Pear and kale

Aronia berries and söl

Potato and plum

yep, that's a 20 course menu (for lunch and dinner, so 2x10), cost around 300€, wine not included yet...oh god I want to go there sometime. Beef Tartar with ants? Holy shit do want. This all looks maximum amazing. You really know a menu is amazing when "Wild Duck" is the least interesting sounding thing on it. How the hell do you pickle and smoke quail eggs? And more importantly, how does that taste? Oh god I want that

man, that one starter, moss and cep, that doesn't even look like food:

What makes it funny is that there is precedent for true emotions existing in constructs.

Alexander is a construct, Cyrielle's programs, the fact that the Persona canon exists so robots with Personas exist, possibly USEC's old character, Osiris....

It seems like something a sociopath would tell someone who might tell someone who would probably kill them for saying the latter.

Quote from: Akroma on May 04, 2014, 09:13:05 am

note how she did not immediatly advise HILDA to kill innocents for convenience

That sounds more psychopath than sociopath. Note that I'm not sure what the clinical definition of psychopathy is.
For sociopathy, think Peter Wiggin. Sure, he's a bastard, but once he matures he's really good at figuring out what to do to get what he wants. Not all sociopaths are geniuses, but they're more likely to lie than murder. (Although I can think of some squirrels who would testify that Peter's also a sadist, so it's not a perfect example.)
Point is, sociopaths aren't axe murderers.

No, she's a sociopath because she can turn off her emotions. That's pretty sociopathic.

You left out a "might"; it's an optional component, like saying that The Lancer might be an antihero. ICARUS is definitely close enough to count.
She also counts as a "sociopathic hero," between her clinical sociopathy and how she acts towards Rose (the first bits that come to mind), but that's half-irrelevant.

I suggest you sign up to Gaiden v2 as a start. I mean, I like magic girls, but the plot is very thick for you to get into.

You sign up by copying the character sheet at the first page, and filling it out, and you play simply by, well, observe, interact so on. From what I can understand if you want to do a significant action like combats or for example arguing, the dice is rolled for you and depending on your stats, the result is determined.

Trying to figure out how to use the IRC. I can't figure out where to put the channel name.
Also, why "botg"?


Picked up Harald's game. I captured Sparta; Greece recaptured it, causing me to pull back due to him killing my great general and most of my remaining...bit of army sent there. A few turns later, though, he surrendered to me! ...Which brought my happiness down from a finally-positive-three to negative 17.With all cities puppetted.  It's England all over again...I didn't realize he had five cities left! Well, now he's down to one, so I've made two city-states this game, and my miserable empire can finally focus its might on the Koreans who declared war on me. I've been using a couple frigates and a caravel I have stationed by my one city town there (Viborg) to destroy various turtle ships and such, but now they're going to regret declaring war on me and not suing for peace before I got around to doing anything. I'm going to have fun; I've got an aircraft carrier by Copenhagen waiting for more fighters to be built, artillery once I build some, and I'm going to have the ability to build tanks in a couple turns.
Also, Darius (who is right behind me in points and is currently an ally*) demanded I give him access to some of my new marble for 25 turns. It's the late 1900s, so that's a fair chunk of the rest of the game, but...eh, I can't afford to anger him. Yet. Maybe once I conquer Korea and solve my chronic misery.

*We've got 1100 or so points each. The next is Kamehameha, with over a thousand. Everyone else is a bit over 300-500.

Quote from: Will's Aria

All arias are audible. Requires a MIND save to continue the Aria after damage is taken. Silence spells can prevent the casting of Arias.

Magic Dampening Aria- Nulls magic cast on targets, up to [MIND/8] Targets. Can't target User while other Targets are selected. Lasts [5] Turns
Physical Dampening Aria- Nulls physical damage on targets, up to [Mind/8] Targets. Can't Target User while other Targets are Selected. Lasts [5] Turns.
Demon Slaying Aria- Slays a Demon the Same level as or lower than the User. Takes [3] turns to cast.
Mana Removal Aria- Removes all mana from the audible area for [Mind/Number of people in Battle] Turns. ((The more people using mana in the area, the harder it is to remove the mana influx in an area.))
Binding Aria- Binds a Target. requires a [Mind vs Mind] save to resist. Then it's a [DC 60] to break the binding.
Removal Aria- Banishes Demons of a lower level than the User. Takes [2] turns to cast.

Will is trained enough to use Aria's while preforming other actions.

((Dat Mew be kinda useless without TMs. Or Pokemon to transform into.))

Not true. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_(Pok%C3%A9mon)) It has quite a few moves aside from that. Besides, if we wanted TMs or HMs, couldn't we ask IRIS for them?
And Transform can only be used on Pokemon?
Finally, do we need to define our Pokemons' movesets?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on May 05, 2014, 08:41:53 am

Isn't the whole appeal of a Mew to be able to learn any move, ever? Also, STAB boost. :P

And yeah, that would help. Transform would probably have the same limitations as it does ingame.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 05, 2014, 08:50:24 am

For me, the appeal of a Mew is "it's Mew!"

It only has those limitations in-game because there's nothing else to transform into, really. Pretty sure that supplementary material has Ditto Transforming into non-Pokemon.

Are you saying we should give them move lists?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on May 05, 2014, 08:53:54 am

So the appeal is that it's a cat fetus with a tail that happens to out-moe Meme? :P To each his own, I guess.
I meant I'm going to apply Transform's limitations; trying to transform into a human magical opponent will only give you weaker version of their moves. Or alternatively, make it obvious that you aren't them.

And yes, sure. Limiting it to eight moves.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 05, 2014, 09:02:24 am

Mew is cool. And I'm not a Pokenerd like some people...

Alright. Twice as many as expected.

Post by: Akroma on May 05, 2014, 09:04:29 am

Vektor the Porygon-Z

Ability: Adaptability - STAB moves have 50% more base power (so normal moves have 2x STAB instead of 1.5)

I assume adding items and EV/IV spreads might be overkill

Moves:

Tri-Attack
80 Base power (so 160 with adaptability) (whatever that means for this game?)
20% chance to either set the enemy on fire (damage over time, halves str), paralyse(25% chance to miss a turn, halves dex) or freeze him (33% chance to thaw, until then no moves) (so 6.7% chance each)

Hyper Beam
150 (300 with adaptability, boom) base power
skips next turn, best for when the enemy just needs to die *now*

Dark Pulse
80 base power
20% chance to make the enemy flinch, thus lose a turn, probably super effective against holy stuff like Angels

Thunderbolt
90 base
10% chance to paralyse, probably effective against machines like ICARUS



((wait, 8 moves? eight?! alrighty then))


Icebeam
90 base
10% chance to freeze, good against whatever ice is good against


Recover
heal 50% health


Shadowball
80 base
20% chance to lower enemies special defence (so mind?), probably good against supernatural stuff, but useless against mundane enemies


Charge Beam
50 base
70% chance to increase how special attack (mag?), for when damage is needed in long fights


((also damnit, why did I have to choose a pokemon that fits ICARUS? Poor Gastrodon, how could I betray you so?))

Hey, its cool. I personally like Celebi more. Mew isn't moe enough for me. :c

Touche...
Any chance I can convince you to let Transform "stack" with other moves to allow a more compelling transformation? And on that note, can other moves do things beyond what they do in-game as their names imply? (E.g, "Amnesia")
And while I'm asking questions, would Baton Pass let Nuriel's Blaziken pass off his huge stat boosts to others? And if I finalized Angel no longer having Magic since Nuriel basically checked out, would you let her get more Pokemon/be able to use Pokeballs on various entities we come across to use them as summons?

Oh, and...what are Alice, ICARUS, and Lunette doing?

Possibly. And probably not. Unless you WANT Amnesia to make your Pokemon forget everything. EVERYTHING. Including, well, Amnesia.

Yes, but again, I'm figuring out how to balance that. I'd allow the former. Most other entities would destroy or eat Pokeballs.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 05, 2014, 11:49:25 am

That's...nonspecific.

I thought Amnesia gave someone else Amnesia. Alright, changing that move.

You allowed Kyle to tame Fluffy, right? Let Angel do that with Pokeballs instead of having any kind of magic. It's not like balance has ever been an issue.
Wait, so Pokeballs can hold gods and incarnations of various natural forces, not to mention giant dragons, whales, computer programs, turtles the size of mountains, and so on, but they can't hold "most other entities" we face?

You're the GM. You need to answer the frakking question. After all, Legendaries also have a great deal of power and existence-screwery. Like the Pokemon who travel through time, or cause floods/droughts of unheard-of scale, or created the world...which you're fine with us keeping in Pokeballs, but we can't catch little monsters or minor demons?

I'm imagining a system not unlike Pokemon where you need to more or less defeat the enemy before capturing it.

So...
I remember that the only reason pokemon can be caught anyways (masterball aside) is because they find the person catching them worthy. And also, pokeballs stun humans. I remember from an episode of pokemon where Jessie got hit with the beam.

Base of 25. These are Pokemon, not summons, go level them up. All start at level five. Eight moves. XP 100/100, go read the wiki if you want to learn the stuff they get if they level up.

What's the normal base?
Ie, Mew has all stats at a base of 100. Where would that put its stats in this system?
And are hit points calculated by RotMG-method or using the Pokemons' values?

310 is the normal base for a starter, as far as I know. Hence why everyone has a base 25 points.

HP is calculated by RotMG.

I guess I can level it up just with the items, without trades? AT which levels would Poryon level up?


At what level can they learn TM moves? What about tutor and egg moves?

Do we get items?

IRIS will handle TM moves and tutor moves. Egg moves? Get breeding.

IRIS also handles items. I will permit Pokemon who normally evolve by trade to evolve by levels if they hold an item. Porygon evolves at level 16 and Porygon2 at level 36. That requires the Upgrade and Dubious Disk respectively.

They both have their merits and downfalls.

GOOD:

Dota has:
-All heroes free at all times
-Very balanced hero selection.
-The ability to deny the enemy gold and some xp by the killing of your own creeps when they get low with a last hit, and even your own ally heroes if needed.
-A team from Valve who are known for their customer service, good will, work for balance, and the inability to count to 3. :P
-A (atleast on average for me) nicer community than most MOBA's.
-Modes like ability roulette(needs some tweeking and banning of certain heroes, but still fun) And single draft to keep games interesting and fresh.
-A case by case report system.
-Available on PC, Mac, and Linux

League has:
-A huge character roster that is still being updated today.
-An entire game studio dedicated to its development
-Several different maps (Even if disputed about how good or bad they are)
-A unique rune system that serves to allow further customization of champions outside of in-game item builds
-Instant turning
-Its own fresh match ideas such as ARAM, and that circular mine map where you take the points. (Name escapes me)
-Enormous player count

BAD:

Dota has:
-A couple broken characters. (I will argue Terrorblade OP for days, and Sand King on occasion.)
-Several, though rare, bugs with the item guide selection and uploading; as well as the hero selection.
-A rather... finicky replay saving system
-Untradable and/or sellable items

League has:
-A reputation for broken heroes (Though this is getting better, still, Jax.)
-A hero rotation that, although good in theory, requires you to work to buy a character you enjoy playing a lot
-A VERY vocal and angry community, who will critique anything not to their liking, or if it doesn't work.
-Really heavily based in meta
-PC only

I think 1 max per fight would be better. I mean, we already have 6-15 PCs in each fight, now each of them will send in a pokemon too?

the GMs will go crazy, and meanwhile the players impatient waiting for the turn. As a whole, pokemon are a neat idea, but maybe they should have been limited to a single pokemon trainer character, using them like summons. For the gameflow, oh man it will be a nightmare. hopefully most people will forget about them ...

Hint #1: War is annoying, even when you have overwhelming technological superiority. Try to avoid it.
Hint #2: Large civilizations get unwieldy. You don't need to build wide anymore!

Ugh... I'm being a shithead and holding up the RP, aren't I? I'll just summarize what happens here, I guess. I really don't feel like GMing or playing right now.

• Alice heads to Brazil and talks to the locals there, somehow managing to get around the fact that they all speak Portuguese. Despite the massive amount of bribe money she has, nobody seems to know anything about the terrorists. Unsurprisingly, a teenage girl carrying around half a million dollars in cash attracts unwanted attention, and muggers ambush her. ICARUS teleports in and fights off the criminals. Her and Alice reaffirm their love for each other and make out.
• Rose and Lizzie go on their date. Lizzie consumes large amounts of sushi and food. They affirm their love for each other and make out.
• Ester and Tobias also make out, because why the heck not. Everyone else seems to be doing it.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go drop off the face of the planet for a while so that I can recover or something. I just don't really care about playing anymore. Blah, sorry about that. I'll see you all when I feel better, I guess.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 07, 2014, 03:23:58 pm

Normal (Full) Name: Angel Beatrice Carlson
Magical Name: Nuriel
Gender: Female
Appearance, Normal: A fairly short (~3'2") kindergartner. She has straight auburn hair to her shoulders, pale skin, and blue eyes. She wears glasses and green clothes of various sorts.
Appearance, Magical: This generous friendly magical girl's droopy eyes are the color of an overcast sky and her medium-length, wavy, fine, black hair is worn in a military-style style. She is tall (6 ft and a bit) She has an hourglass build. Her pretty, odd costume is yellow and blue in even proportions and glows with a powerful radiance.
Power: Her Magical Girl powers are mainly fire-based. Angel's Magical Girl form is also significantly taller (looking like a tall, beautiful 18-year-old), stronger, and has a pair of wings which can be used to fly.
Background: Angel is a child prodigy. She began school a year early and is in first grade despite being only 5. More importantly, she reads a lot. She's not a talker, which gives her plenty of time to spend reading various scientific books and such. She had a firm grasp on how the world worked since some time in kindergarten.
You may have gathered that this didn't last. It didn't.
A few months ago, Angel was on a camping trip and got lost while hiking. She tried to find her way beck to the campsite, but couldn't. She tripped and fell into a ravine...next thing she knew, she was back at the campsite with no injuries or fatigue and a weird sun-shaped mark on her chest.
Since then, Angel has discovered her ability to invoke the form of a neo-angelic being (the modern interpretations of angels, that is) with pyrokinetic abilities...or something like that. Angel is interested in how this works and irritated that her "other self" is a lot different--more outgoing and valiant, and also stupid and not interested in scientific processes. Where will this lead? Soon...we may see.

and the second form is argueably weaker than the main. worse stat allocation, but also, the very same ability as the normal body.

Post by: Akroma on May 07, 2014, 05:20:52 pm

your chars stats?


plot excuse: your main and your normal form have exactly the same ability, that is shapeshifting their mechanical parts into all sorts of forms and functions. HILDAs ability *is* turning into the alpha and into an almost endless amount of other forms, the whole greek alphabet if you are so inclined. As such, it makes no sense to really tie this down to a 2-form character. It's really more of a thing like Maria, and that was always a bit out of the rule loop. really, talk to Elf about what you actually may change before making up the ingame explanation

As said, these are people that hate magic. So everyone of them uses a different form of Magic. Plus, this plot is meant to build character for at least Sen, Will, Uhco (when I get around to introducing her) and Constanza. Anyone else that uses said plot for character building is a bonus.

Anyways, their magic is more true word magic, use words get power. Consider it a mana that doesn't run off of mana, but still has a shit ton of restrictions placed on it.

I mean, even ICARUS has points in magic, just to justify the partcle cannon doing magic damage without being minmaxy

If those guys can actually power these things for more than 30 seconds without being huge as clunky, they should rule the world by now by the pure technological advantage alone

also ARGH, this is why we got a distraction guys. Like this we take the brunt of their force

also, don't fight them on a boat, that's a huge target moving in a predictable way. This is why I opted to attack them in the air, instead of from the ground, attacking a human sized target mid-air is hella difficult (possibly roll penalties?))

Negated by the guns being pretty good at hitting small, fast-moving targets, and also by there being ten fighters to a unit.

Quote from: Akroma on May 08, 2014, 04:58:29 pm

((5 bombers and ICARUS, Kyle...those are the guaranteed fliers. Then we have Winries technomancy which, if used more aggressively might also take out a bomber, then we may or may not have Stella because abscence, and we may or may not have HILDA, Alucard on the Karakil, Bartimaeus and Ashley. Looks doable, as long as you do something realistic, and not "well, 30 fighters attack you all at the same time, you are teh ded", and they actually stop firing according to my plan of using their own bombers as shields))

1. A large number of fighters firing at you would be realistic, since they have a hundred and change. So would death caused by a large number of fighters shooting at you.
2. You forgot Nuriel.

this is an air battle, people need to actually position themselves to fire at a flying unit, that btw is not even 1/20th of their size, and a whole lot more agile than a huge lumbering jet. they need to watch out not to hit eachother with the guns, and not to bump into eachother either, and most importantly need to actually keep an overview over what is actually happening. their numbers are their disadvantage, as it supremely helps actually using their allies as cover.

Pretty much all of those are things that modern fighter can do, given that they attack not only other fighters but are also capable of point-defense. And if they're flying close enough that colliding with each other is a serious issue...well...the sky isn't as big as space, but it's still pretty empty, and it's not unheard of for air battles to be conducted far enough apart that neither can see the other with their actual eyes. And these guys have magitek ariatek.
And no, their numbers are not a disadvantage just because we can use them as cover and they need to not hit each other. This isn't Discworld, and we don't even look anything like planes. The ones we are using as cover can shoot us, as can the ones on the other side because this is air. Hitting each other isn't an issue unless you have a traitor. Etc etc.

I don't really know. In my case since I take Software as an elective subject, the teacher had us use Python first since it's a rather simple language so we could get used to the logic and then after getting used to programming, went straight into Java followed by PHP and MySQL. I'm currently learning C++ with the Qt library for an assignment, it was quite easy to pick up due to it's similarities with Java and hopefully I'll be able to return to using C++ except by itself without using Qt as a crutch.

Python is a simple programming language, it's easy to learn.
Java is a more complex programming language.
C++ is similar to Java, except you can fuck around with stuff that gives you more options when done right, or cause a memory leak and fuck yourself if done wrong.
Qt is a library for C++ that helps with GUI-design and media management.

PHP is what allows sites to transfer data between pages and perform sessions. It is more similar to HTML than any of the above.
MySQL is for databases.

Well, Pokemon aren't really living creatures, in-universe. After all, they never hurt people, are stored in devices far smaller than the creatures themselves, and are only "knocked out" by even the strongest of attacks. And that's not getting into limited movesets, TMs and HMs, or most items.

I get so angry when people say pokemon is like cockfighting. It's more like having friendly wrestling competitions with people. The people who do act like it's a cockfight are almost always portrayed as horrible people. Because they are.

I wouldn't call anything that involves poison, electric shot and the like to be wrestling. Or very friendly for that matter.

Well, Pokemon aren't really living creatures, in-universe. After all, they never hurt people, are stored in devices far smaller than the creatures themselves, and are only "knocked out" by even the strongest of attacks. And that's not getting into limited movesets, TMs and HMs, or most items.

Lol, not if you read the Pokemon manga's that first showed up.

And here I was hoping that Will's familiarity with her would make that acceptable.

There's no really safe answer as to what to call a female CO. One option risks seeming like you're patronizing her, the other risks seeming like you're mocking her. There are, however, a large number of undoubtably unsafe answers.

A kind of Calculator used to calculate combat turns. One that Stores Character stats and allows things like: character A attacks Character B who dodges, which outputs [A's STR vs B's DEX]. There probably is something like it already, but not one that suits my needs lol.

Indeed.

Also, we're arguing about something that isn't our world so we can't say much on why the fights don't really harm pokemon. It's probably to do with the trainers or the pokeballs though.

Ah, that won't even need a GUI then, it could probably run off of a console display.

I'd personally approach it by using a "character" class, with enemies and players as objects of that class. Though you don't have to, you could just as easily have each character as an integer array with stats in it.

Then it would be input attacker's aim stat, input defender's evade stat. If successful, input attacker's attack stat, input defender's defense stat.
If it's just an ability use with no targeting, then it's aim stat (usually MND for things like teleport and the like) followed by the ability stat.

Of course, that would be a rudimentary program as it would fail to take into certain account factors. Also, since unlike random.org, a computer's RNG generally uses the system time as a seed into a complex algorithm, it would be pseudo-random as opposed to true random. But of course, a physical dice-roll is not necessarily true random either.

GUI programming requires more work, though I suppose you could use C++ with Qt using the Qt Creator IDE. You'll still need to do a bit more work, namely with slots and signals but it would work.

Which is to say he activated the circles, and then left the building and never went through any of them. Thus causing everyone to waste a lot of time and effort investigating where the circles led to. If you want the specific place, it's the city of Ufa, Russia.

well, a balanced moe form, a high endurance, high strength form for the alpha, a high dex, medium strength form for the beta and the gamma with high magic and dex, but low strength and endurance or something

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 10, 2014, 04:23:48 pm

I have no idea, I'm avoiding various forms because of stuff like that.

I suppose they have individual pools, but damage taken gets put on all pools, so you need to keep track of how much damage you have actually taken. So the flimsy magic form would become unaccessible after taking like 200 damage, forcing HILDA to take a more resilient form, like the fortress form, which would still have some health remaining, but already lost 200 of who knows how much it has

Or adapt the single form character rules and just have an ability that shifts those stats to different areas; technically, they're not really different entities/forms as much as different adapted weapons.

Have not had a chance to make this comment until now, earlier today there were two characters having a discussion about living a long time, was about to have Stella involve herself, but i realized they were not using the bracelets. also Stella is not thinking about it so it wont come up unless someone else does.

At any rate it also made me put a bit more thought into exactly how Stella's Ageing would work, and what I cane up with was a sort of template for all two shaped half-breeds

Each shape Matures at the normal rate for it's species, with the longer lived half not being awake at first due to still being very young

Both shapes however AGE at the rate of the longest lived half

Hey PN, How fused is Bartimaeus and Alucards souls?

Post by: PrivateNomad on May 11, 2014, 08:23:57 am

To where they can't actually join together but to where if one is hurt, the other feels discomfort and they can communicate to each other without the bracelet. Alucard is sort of superior in the bond since he's stronger than Bartimaeus.

So their souls are actively sharing then? that means the Demon plating would detect both void and creation and lable Bartimaeus as a demon.

for the Demon plating all it detects is the presence of Void and creation. So long as 'sharing' is present it doesn't actively differentiate.

lightning bolts cause more heat based damage, they fry and melt and vaporize the grease on your skin and the fat layers (I watched a documentary about lightning strikes a couple of years ago) , which makes it heat anyway, and i don't care HOW the plasma is made plasma is hot and would deal the damage as heat, maybe not all of it but most

Electricity does other things, you know. Things that, with less energy spent scorching Stella, can do other things. And consider two things:
1. The electricity is magical.
2. Stella's fire resistance is probably also magical.
I daresay that the fire resistance wouldn't have much effect.

Electricity also has other malignant effects on the body, and plasma...well...it's hot enough that your proteins are going to be falling apart. Resistance to normal fire, especially of the mundane variety (and see above if the resistance is magical), probably wouldn't cover that kind of stuff. It's like trying to convince a sales rep that since water damage is covered by warranty, you should get reimbursed for when you took whatever it was a hundred meters below the surface.

Mana sealing only stops him from using magic. If she shapeshifts beforehand he can do it, he just can't shapeshift when sealed.

Bartimaeus can change into any material pretty much, like when he shapeshifted into a fish and Meme kept eating it. Only that shapeshifting into something like diamond wouldn't work because it doesn't act as an armor because his essence is the diamond. His essence is his mind, body, and soul.

He can shapeshift into bigger stuff with a MAG check, but it's a pain in the ass for him to retain that form, as his essence can't really expand that far. Neither can he shapeshift into a bacterium because his essence can't contract that far.

I already knew what I mean what you said the first time, obviously ICARUS got smashed by a missile. I dare say that them firing missiles at their own jets, and the jet ICARUS being on just sitting there unmoving and taking the missile without an attempt to dodge is unrealistic. Remeber how big the jets are compared to ICARUS. Even a failed attempt at dodging the incoming missile would move ICARUS out of the line of fire. Please don't ignore actually working strategies in your dice rolls, else what's the point of the manouver actions at all, if the enemies can attack us with impunity no matter what we do?

neither were Sen and Hilda and Alucard. That's not how misses work. If Stella dodged the missile, we should not be punished even worse as if she had not successfully dodged.

consider the following.

Missile was a fire and forget missile.
Order likes to prioritize demons.
Sen is a demon.
Nuriel is right next to a fighter.
Sen is logical choice.

I did say that the missile's targeting activated and veered towards Sen.

I didn't punish anyone for dodging a missile. The ONLY reason Sen's paper coatl and thus Sen, Hylda, and Alucard were hit. Was because The rolls for dodging were NOT in Sen's favor. If anything blame Sen for being lousy at dodging missiles.

Person A appears next to Object 1. Object 1 happens to be on a flight path and moving faster than Person A. Person A, whose momentum does not equal Object 1's, is left behind.

Also, As stated over pm. When did I say that Fighter 1 targeted Stella for the missile. The definitions of Aimed and targeted are very different.

Aim- point or direct (a weapon or camera) at a target.

Targeting- select as an object of attention or attack.

missiles fired by the fighters are fire and forget. given enough range they can lock onto a target or be targeted from the fighter itself.

In this case, Fighter 1 aimed at Stella but manuelly targeted Sen's Paper coatl. When Stella dodged, the missile's targeting protocol activated and course corrected to intercept Sen

fine have sen hit, but toward PN (who didn't choose to have sen drag him unto the paper thing, he already had summoned his own mount, and HILDA who was unconscious) it's plain unfair. Note that the Karakil had a lot better chance to dodge the missile than Sen. Why did Sen even pick up Alucard in the first place if they priorize demons as targets?

If we're willing to accept that Sen got targeted, all of that is reasonable. Would you have been arguing about this if the missile was initially aimed at the clump of folks?
It's the first bit that's unreasonable.

the unfair bit is that the missile basical gets two rolls to hit. There was first a roll vs Stella, which missed, so the missile gets to roll again and rolls vs Sen. we don't get any second tries, if we miss, we have missed

for minimal retcon, I'll assume that the missile being fired at Stella was a feint, it was just the general direction of Stella, but never locked onto her, it was just meant to look that way. Stella dodging an attack that probably would not have hit her anyway (hard to judge at those distances and speeds) made Sen think she was out of danger and diverted her focus, and bam, Sen was hit.


which sounds both more clever (props to the pilot) and less "our weapons can do anything" than the missile missing and then independantly chosing a new target

This is basically what happened. Stella being in front of hte jet when it fired the missile was just coincidence. As said Aiming and targeting have different meaning.

assuming the analysis of their sensors come up with a bit of useful info, I do have a plan in stock to take care of the bombers with a bit more precision and (hopefully) less risk. So we really need to down these jets and analyze them, we can then regroup for the second assault. There are still like what, 68 hours left?

Does it matter? The planes we intend to use them on are about as aerodynamic as a brick and yet have the range of an advanced transoceanic jet, and have plating made from an alloy that negates nearby demonic magics. The precise chemical nature of the burny charges isn't important.

It does matter on what the chemical nature of the 'burny charges' is. If it's copper then it won't be hot enough to burn through the demon plating. If it's iron then it might be able to cut through but it would take a few turns to full cut through, if it's thermate then its one big blast of melty death.

Also, I should get that turn wrote down so I don't forget it.

obviously it's thermate, as that is the only one that is actually used for deconstruction, google linear thermite cutting charges. They are surrounded by patended mantles, to ensure that no, it's not a big blast of melty death, but the entire force of the charge is blasted into a single direction

from the outside it looks like this:
(http://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/US7555986B2/US07555986-20090707-D00008.png)

cross-section:
(https://www.metabunk.org/sk/LTC_Picture.pdf_%281_page%29-20140102-164348.jpg)

this kind of stuff blasts through metal girders supporting highrises. A jets engine would absolutely not be able to function after being hit by one of these things. In fact, as long as you focus them towards *any* part of a jet that is in any way needed for the flight, chances are the whole thing will come down.


Iron and copper thermite are not used for demolition, but welding, either of very thick copper cables or of train tracks


on a side note, it's fucking hard to find stuff about these kind of charges, as the internet is absolutely flooded by people who believe these kinda charges were used in the WTC attack as an isnide job thing.

Because thermate burns at higher temperatures than ordinary thermite,[1] it has useful military applications in cutting through tank armor or other hardened military vehicles or bunkers. As with thermite, thermate's ability to burn without an external supply of oxygen renders it useful for underwater incendiary devices.

oh hey, I didn't quite consider just how powerful these things actually are. This jet is fucked. Kyle and the others should really stop trying to punch the jets and just grab more of these things

Maybe we can get Hilda together with her and Kyle, Maria, Hilda, and Selina can be in a relationship.

well, the battle against the two jets should be mostly over, assuming that being pilotless does indeed render the jets useless. Even if the thermite charge does not take out the jet immediatly, ICARUS crawling around on it still puts her at an angle that the jet can aim no weapons at, rendering it mostly defenceless.

I'll soon post my new plan once that fight has been resolved. Idealy, my plan should allow for us to take out at least 3 of the bombers without *any* fight, giving us a 60% chance of taking out the bomb instantly. Wether all 5 can be taken out depends a *lot* on how the first wave of attack goes

Earlier, my family and I got into a bit of a discussion about who would win in a football game between the Chicago bears and some trained bears. We determined that the bears would probably have a good defense, but would have a terrible offense. Thoughts?

Offense in football requires being able to carry, throw, and kick the ball. Like, far enough that the control doesn't go to the other team. (I'm not too familiar with the rules of football, but it sounded important.)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

It's not training, it's mechanics. Humans are unusually competent at throwing things, because throwing rocks and spears meant we died less. Bears have had no such selective pressure for their mouths.

Selective pressure as in ancient times' evolution, not as in modern training. You can theoretically train a bear to do anything it is physically capable of doing. Throwing a ball with its mouth, or even holding the ball in its mouth without severely damaging it? Not physically possible.

Also, please share the plan. IC ideally, but OOC works too.

Nuriel already taking one bomber down would be great, that increases our chances to take out the bomb a lot. Though I *seriously* doubt that you will be able to do so. The damage the jets deal is just too big to just fight our way through. In fact, please secure the jet, so we can repair it at our base, and remove tracing chips and what not, so it can actually become part of my plan.


My plan is, so the analysis of the jets goes promising, to use the one advantage we have, aimed directly at the jets two biggest weaknesses.


a) Our advantage: We are very small and very mobile. We care even less about aerodynamics or inertia. Even with these high-tech jets being kind of extremely mobile, we can do manouvers they can not do theirselves, and that more importantly, nobody would anticipate, as without teleportation, it's a suicide manouver.




b) their first weakness:

Quote from: avatar

The way I had it figured, Toruk's the baddest cat in the sky. Nothing attacks him. So why would he ever look up? That was just a theory.

This is the radar coverage of an erieye, the most modern, specialised early warning airborn radar. It's a highly specialised tool to spots threats *long* before they arrive at the target.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y113/airforcefan1/Special%20Report/ScanningAreaofErieye.jpg)(http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/5307/capture2fg.jpg)

Notice something? That's right, directly above it, it's blind. When coming in from above, there is no warning. Of course I am aware that several radars do cover eachothers blindspots, but this is where a) and c) come into play. a) because these radars are mostly dependant on surface area. The smaller the target, the weaker the feedback, and the shorter the distance, and the closer we have to be to be spotted. c) later. Let us also no forget that the coverage only slowly increases over distance. Unless each bomber is 100km apart from eachother, they will mostly *share* they blindspot upwards, until we are already very close - and then it is too late. Additionaly, keep in mind that the erieye is a *highly* specialied aircraft. It's not a bomber, it's not a fighter, it does nothing but look out for things. Bombers and fighters have *significantly* worse coverage, especialy above them. I really see no reason at all other than the GM not wanting the bombers to be downed by clever thinking and planning and just by sheer stat-grind and weak-long dice orgies for these fighters and bombers to have coverage directly above them


c) they have human pilots, with human reaction times. Our form of attack will make use of that. Since we will be attacking from the bombers blindspots, the only radars that can spot us, maybe 1-2 seconds before our assault, possibly even less, will be the ships actually furthest away from the assault. These guys have to, in order, notice us on their radar, which is hard, as our blips will be overlayed with the bombers blips, and since we are smaller, will be much smaller blips too, he will then have to actually interpret and understand what this weird signal means, he then has to input the right frequency for the bomber in question, and then tell them what is going on. The bomber pilot then has to understand what is being said, and take evasive manouvers. All of that takes time, and is usualy no problem, as the target comes from the sides or the ground, where they have excellent coverage and ar warned well in advance.

So this is how we will take advantage of it:

Bartimaeus, who can become very small and thus unnoticed by the enemy radar, gets into position above the bombers, where ICARUS, HILDA and Winry teleport in, possibly alongside Kyle, if he can manufacture something useful beforehand. Each of them picks a bomber then, and straight from above, accelerates a ton to divebomb them, each mostly in their own way, aiming straight for the weakest part, the cockpit. ICARUS would fire up both her sword and her cyclonic barrier to extreme levels and do to the cockpit what she usualy does to people - obliterate it in a very self-destructive manner in a single attack. The sword will only have to cut through the glass - and pilot, the cyclonic barrier does the rest. It does not just block things, it slaps things out of the way violently. When powered up enough, and when rammed into a cockpit at huge speeds, it can be used quite offensively, ripping the entire cockpit to shreds, while at the same time keeping ICARUS relatively safe from harm. I say relatively, she will likely still take more than enough damage that she can't attack a second time. If the damage is managable, she will first teleport home before hitting the water, use one of the spare batteries, and then teleport straight back to Bartimaeus to see if another dive would be feasible. HILDA I guess would probably turn into her alpha form right before the impact, and her her huge size and mass to giant-mecha-elbow-drop the enemy cockpit, then teleport out, and possibly back in for a second wave. Winry could technomance some sort of javelin rocket or something, possibly a second one for a second assault, who knows. Kyle may or may not come in and drop all sorts of explosives, I am not sure.


This at least has a decent chance of taking out the bomber with the seraphim bomb on it, without actually subjecting us to a fight against 5 bombers and 5 jets, when already 2 jets managed to take 4 of us out. The only damage we will get is the one inflicted upon ourselves, the enemy does *not* have the reaction time to adequatly answer to an ambush of that kind. Should we be unlucky and not hit the bomber with the bomb on it, the rest of us can still come in and engage the enemy fleet in combat, concentrating their fire on the remaining bombers. It plays our advantages and their weaknesses to the maximum. I call it operation Damocles

Post by: Akroma on May 18, 2014, 07:22:14 am

I dunno. I fear she may be too slow for that kind of attack. But as I said, if the initial attack does not get the bomber with the seraphim bomb (5 bombers, one bomb, there some luck involved here), Stella, Nuriel, Spooky and who else is there may still attempt to get it. ICARUS will likely be too damaged to continue the fight, doesn't mean the others can't clean up after the initial ambush

Especially since the jets are moving pretty fast.

But the radar blindspot might work if the jets use mundane tech. I don't think they use magic.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 18, 2014, 07:48:46 am

sanure specificaly said that they do move slower than normal jets in one of the first posts where the fleet appeared. Also, they are fucking huge. Twice as big as a normal F15. Unless they are actively dodging, they are going to be hit. The problems are how much damage you deal to yourself in the meantime, and that it is more or less only a slightly better chance than a toincoss on wether or not the first wave of the assault actually hits the right bombers. It's not unthinkable that if we start a second wave of attack, that there will be counter measures, and considering the damage we take in the process, counter measures are deadly. Likewise even if the non-dive bombers like Stella come in, there's still 5 jets protecting the bombers. All 5 of them concentrating fire on stella would desintegrate her. If this assault is not successful, I'm running low on ideas. They won't leave their blind spot unguarded a second time, and we won't have quite the time to regenerate enough to attack them in a more traditional manner a second time.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

Post by: Akroma on May 18, 2014, 07:56:11 am

yep, attack, *maybe* attack a second time, and teleport out.


this kind of dive-bomb attack is specificaly made to rob them of their greatest advantage, and that is sheer fire power. Their weapons do fuckloads of damage, they stun you for ages, so this ambush really helps, because at least the initial dive-bombing happens so fast, they wont have time to aim and fire at you before you already teleported away again. The jets that are closest to the bombers will just be as suprised as the bombers, most likely their first reaction is "Holy shit, why did that just explode?!" instead of "ah, I instantly understand the situation and will calmly take aim at this robot that may or may not be a fucking meteor"

Since they're being attacked by human-sized targets who recently fell off the radar, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what they are.

ICARUS is not going to stop Nuriel though, Nuriel is the best judge of her own abilities. If she can take a bomber down or even just damage it and then teleport out, go for it.


as far as the figuring out goes, there's more to it than just *who*, but also the general grasp of the situation. We are starting to accelerate several kilometers above the bombers, by the time we hit them, we really spend only a split second in the jets field of view. in that split second, they'd have to aim at us. Considering out speed, that is even incredibly hard if they are forewarned. Jet fights do happen at high speeds, yes, but since both fighters are moving fast, usualy in similar directions, the relative speed is low. It's not hard to take aim at something that is flying in front of you, with you flying behind it, no matter your speed. When the target is moving horizonatly to you, it's speed however will fall into full effect.

As I said, it's an ambush, an extremely fast hit and run. They simply have no means to counter attack, which is exactly what the plan is about. we have seen well enough what happens if you subject yourself to their weapons. Their damage output *must* be avoided at all costs. Hopefully whatever units move to the bombers right after the ambush to take the remaining ones out will try something similar to ICARUS, cling to the bomber and then plant bombs. This really helps. The enemy can not open fire at you while you are clinging onto what they are supposed to protect. And if they do, make use of it and dodge, maybe teleport if need be, let their weapons hit the bomber

I shouldn't be on right now, but I can answer a few questions if need be. posting with my phone gets easier using the voice to text function.

As to the fleet. They are actually pretty fast, but the bombers lack the maneuverability of the jets.

EDIT: But it still seems to miss words that I say. So I end up typing and misspelling. Go figure.

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 18, 2014, 08:52:33 am

No arguments there, ICARUS, but it won't take long for them to figure out our plan. Once they do, we'll lack the element of surprise...so we need to make that first strike count.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 18, 2014, 08:54:57 am

well, our first strike is guaranteed. Wether a second strike via teleporting upwards can happen really depends on how the first strike goes. Big risks lie on those that need to take out the bombers manualy. I suppose Stella too can dive in from the blind spot, during the first assault wave, but then she has to sit there and manually set a bomb or two before teleporting off. That is rather dangerous

Well, assuming mauling the opposing team is an acceptable condition for winning, I would think the actual bears would win.

If it isn't, and they're trained bears, than the Chicago Bears would win. _Probably.

True. Don't forget though that fighter pilots are conditioned for long fights and most modern aircraft are programmed with some for of autopilot (granted that that's more of a weakness than a strength due to Auto-pilots being unable to attack targets ((And before someone points out drones, Those things needs a person to control them.)))

they were already in the air 12 hours ago, by the time we have recovered, that will have been at least 36 hours, maybe even 48 hours. Conditioned to long flights? Maybe. for 48 hours? No jet is that fuel efficent usualy. No, fighter jets do not usualy cross the atlantik for an attack.

Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 04:04:58 pm

well, maybe if you specificaly make your action to prepare for the hit and tank it, else there is complications:


very low endurance vs relatively high strength: random chance makes it possible that even the flimsiest characters are unpunchable


very high endurance in general: high end chars already have TONS of health, and like this, they will tank almost all damage, and the damage that actually gets through becomes pitifully low, coupled with an already high healthpool, this makes fights endless




damage-health relationship in general - too low with the end+d50. too many attacks that deal just 10-20 damage, even for low health characters with only 200 health that takes *way* too long. turns are already game-breakingly slow most of the time, no need to make them so long that everyone not in combat has to migrate elsewhere for 2 weeks

the whole fucking thing better have some permanent consequences on the battle. if it was for nothing, I call bull.

Also, I lined the attack up to have both of them in the shot. If that thing was not there to begin with, whatever happened to the ceiling collapsing on Ossy? Why did the shot, when the demon disappeared, not hit ossy? You owe me about 100-200 damage here >:(

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 04:21:02 pm

Consider this:

Osmodias uses subtle mindcontrol to alter the way a person acts and things.
his mind control is passive meaning each turn, It re-rolls on the targets.
Icarus avoided getting controlled by it the first time, not the second or third times.
If the control was active, Wolf should have still been under the control and not have been worried by the Jail cell or chains.
Alice would not have woken up yet.

Also, Just about every time I post a turn or do something, You attempt to call bull on me. I would really apprieciate it if you would stop acting like things should be easy. Nothing about a Demon mind-controlling thousands of people or draining all mana in an area is easy. I have seen no one do such a thing as easy.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 04:24:28 pm

*passive* ?!

way OP. As it literaly goes against everyone in reach and easily wins the battle, stuff like that should absolutely not be passive. does that shit even drain his mana?


anyway, my points stand. 1) ICARUS detected the invisible thing before the second turn. 2) I lined all attacks up in a way that if they do not hit the demon, it would hit him - does mindcontrole now suddenly stop 500kg of metal propelled by jetboots to keep rocks from falling on your head?

What 'magic' does Ossy use?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 04:44:18 pm

First he is being supplied infinite mana by Mana Incarnate.
Second, Op? Look at half of the damn characters that people have. Sen can learn any kind of magic spell and only suffers an increased mana cost. Maria uses the Fucking gods as her summons. Ashley can unleash vod into someone and completely erase them. Marie... don't even get me started on Marie. Point is, just because someone has an ability called passive mindcontrol (May i Point out Keith) Does not give you permission to criticize someone's ability and call it op.
IF you do want to call it op. Look at Icarus who can use her 'Battery' to boost her stats to OP level and destroy just about anything.

Lastly, your point doesn't stand. subtle mind control can trick a sentient person, or anything with a mind really, into believing they have the upepr hand. So no, It doesn't stop 500kg of rock, but it does trick a person into thinking they did something.

(Elf did approve the plot that I sent in. I did have to make a few changes here and there due to player actions, but what plot doesn't deviate a tad bit)

Wolf did snap out of it because the suggestion stopped happening to him. It lasted long enough to slip the drug to him, but it ended when he fell asleep.

The magic is subtle passive mind-control and true word magic. By linking with Mana-incarnate, he is able to use the magic at no cost. This is not the final fight, but extremely close to it.

If people would stop complaining and just help it move along it would probably be over today or tomorrow.

Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 05:14:14 pm

GMing 101, I learned this through experience - Mindcontrole is a no-go. Both for players (too powerful, busts plots left right and center), and for NPCs (players hate this like the plague, also, too powerful). Mindcontrole always needs very, very, super heavy balancing. It's super delicate. Usualy done by making it take a loong time (Ossy was with the knights for months, maybe years. totaly believable that they have been brainwashed to an extend that they would fight for him even if he turns into an ugly monster right in front of them), and if on friendly NPC good after a kidnapping, if done as a proper shocker. On PCs always after actually sitting aside with that player so he knows whats coming and can play along - which even further increases the shock moment when the actual player sais "I stab my friend in the back with glazed over eyes" than when the PC just tells the player "your character stabs the other character"


I can not stress enough how delicate mindcontrole is. Just a passive ability that happens to everyone around and doesn't even cost mana, and moreso, is just the icing on top of huge stats, powerful and plentiful underlings, the aria damage negation and who knows what else, that's overkill. That's not how you design battles

if the mind-controle is also inconsistent, it's just, yes, bullshit.

turn one, ICARUS is not éffected by the mindcontrole, scans and sees the demon

turn two, ICARUS appearantly now is effected, and attack the demon, and is stopped dead in her tracks by his sheer tankiness. She does not fly further and collapse the ceiling

turn 3, ICARUS still affected shoots her beam, the demon vanishes, and Ossy and all knights inexplicably collapse.

later Sanure claims the demon was never there - yet it very skillfully managed to block both icarus and her shot, two attacks that otherwise would have hit ossy, who between them time of icarus being not affected and affected, did not move.

when illusions suddenly start to actually act as shields, thats maximum nonsense. This is the very reason why I always lined up my attacks

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 05:24:21 pm

As I explained. Being deceived into thinking something is happening is a part of subtle mind-control. If you think that you are shooting a person, You will believe you are shooting something. Osmodias made Icarus think she was being stopped dead in her tracks, when she wasn't moving. He then made her think that she shot at a demon that wasn't there. She detected the demon because her AI Mind was trying to warn her of what was happening.

A good example of this is the Episode of doctor who Vampires of Venice. The doctor saw no reflecion in the mirrors because the mirror wasn't reflecting the work of the psychic belts.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 05:29:01 pm

subtle mindcontrole and full on subversion of sight and hearing (and a dozen other things for icarus case :P) are different things. That's far from subtle, that is entirely trapping someone in an undetectable 360 illusion. Not subtle at all.




anyway, fine, I'll take it. That guy is mindcontroling thousands of demon-hating knights, who are specialised in killing demons in the vatican, while making his very demonic looking self look all popey. He shoveled hsi own grave. Please resume the plot. No amount of super huge stats and borderline broken abilities will focus a bit of thinking outside the box :P

not with the plot per say, just with Sanure contradicting himself a little too often. But hey, it's all in good spirit. It's my duty as a player to be creative, and if this works out, it will be so very satisfying that everything is entirely forgiven. When a fight is not in your favour, it's plain boring to just power on and just by sheer number of players grnd the boss to death. Doing that is why Sanure made the dude so OP in the first place. Instead, as with the fleet - spot the weakspot, and level the field. The fight will still be somewhat hard, but significantly turned in our favour

Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 05:46:28 pm

or screw it. here I am trying to put up with the situation sanure presented us with in a creative way.


my plan was simple, as the enemies plan rests entirely on one column - mindcontrole thousands and thousands of order members who passionately hate demons, and devote their entire fighting style and weaponry on defeating demons. Sanure said so on PM, doing so was straining him a lot, he was really pressing it. So I presented my plan to Sanure via PM, and my plan was to transport the anti-magic field generator to the vatican, and have lunette power it up. Ossy would now be faced with a whole lot of demon-haters who want an explanation why he is suddenly so very demony.


Sanures reaction:

Quote from: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 05:36:59 pm

Well, I'll ignore this. Words of advice, Don't share your plan with the GM. Expecially a douchebag one. They always meta. GM 101.

that, right there, is a massive reason to quit the game immediatly.

but nah, not after my speech about the players duty of being creative and resourceful. I already have a second plan, and hell, it is not even as bullshitty as transporting the generator which may or may not be stationary. Just using exactly what Sanure has presented us with.

I will however first ask for one thing:

this plan needs a bit of time. We took out the fleet with a lot of effort, and seraphim bombs don't lay around everywhere. If we prepare our plan and suddenly Sanure sais well shit, Seraphim bomb two went off, that would not be fair.

secondly, because Sanure has admitted to ignoring our plans, I will send that plan to Elf, let him judge it, and there will be no mention of it until we face Ossy in combat.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 05:52:33 pm

Wow. Way to completely take the meaning of something and ignoring it. When I said I was Ignoring that,

IT WAS BECAUSE YOU TOLD THE GM YOUR PLAN AND I SAID THAT I WOULD IGNORE THE FACT THAT YOU TOLD ME THE PLAN.

What would you rather I go, NOPE that won't work due to the Anti-magic generator requiring mana to work and me having said already that there is no mana around or in the Vatican?

GM 101: NEVER TELL THE GM YOUR PLAN IF YOU DON"T WANT HIM TO UTTERLY CANCEL IT OUT.

Yeah, I'll admit I could have worded that pm better. BUT NEVER ASSUME SOMEONE MEANT SOMETHNG ELSE.

Quit if you feel like it. But don't be a bitch about something if it isn't an Easy fight.

Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 05:58:44 pm

hey, sorry Sanure. But when you say that you will meta-game, with a hint of it being done in a douchy way, I assumed the obvious.


anyway, I think our new plan is better, mostly because it is less bullshitty, and actually takes advantage of a resource that the GM provided us with, not something players at some time made up to have a save place to avoid fights.




that being said, his mind controle being done entirely without any form of mana would, simply, be rule breaking. Unless it happens to be a Persona (and I doubt that) both superpowers and magic use mana. It's thousands of knights all over the world, so it's certainly not pheromones, and since it happens just by being in his viscinity, not some sort of brain parasites either (which btw is another form of mind-controle that can be used well, as it gives a, somewhat, obvious method of removal, if external))

Basically all that was supposed to happen was Icarus and group free Uhco severing osmodias' infinite mana and thus his control of every order member not in his vicinity. Then a fight between Uhco, Icarus and group against Osmo which would end in Osmo getting banished back into hell and Uhco joining the team. Arthur would then take back his rightful place as leader of the order, return the pope back to his position, and then go back to slaying demonic threats that pose an actual threat, not innocent bystanders.

Post by: Akroma on May 22, 2014, 06:15:30 pm

Uhco?


That name didn't even appear in the plot so far. Anyway, that's the usual plot derailment that one has to reckon with. We saw Arthur in Shanghai where he was slaughtering innocents left right and center, and appearantly that went on for a month during the timeskip. There is no way we would have simply trusted him when he comes telling us he has important information, but then instead of telling us said information right there, tries to lure us into a building of the vatican. That's just maximum shifty. I mean, if he actually wanted to give us secret information without being detected doing so, why do that 5 meters away from his boss, instead of in our castle? I mean, is our castle under surveillance? If so, wouldn't he already screw himself over just by coming to us and telling us to meet him for the secret conspirancy stuff?


So instead we went on doing our own thing. Sorry, but that is something one could have seen coming. Anyway Sanure, sportsmanship. There is still a satisfying end that can be reached, with a little improvisation is all. It's not like we know in advance what we are supposed to do.

Uhco has been refered to a lot, As Mana incarnate. Her character sheet is grouped in with my others, to which I have another to add later. Arthur wasn't the one massacring Innocents. Paladin Templar and Paladin Luthar were. Both are extremists who shouldn't have ever been in the order, but were due to Osmodias.

I'll consider continuing the plot, but I probably won't.

(May i Point out Keith)

Fucking excuse me? Did you just say that Keith has something as bad as passive Mind control? No, no fuck you Sanure. That is not even close to what he has. He doesn't even use it most of the time instead just using his massive strength to do things. Fuck. You.

First, I was mad when I said that. I apologize.

Second, What the actual fuck? His magical ability from what I understand is to actually mind-rape people into submission. Don't get pissed from having someone use your character as a point of reference. No, I wasn't saying his mind control was passive. I was however calling it OP as a reference to Akroma criticizing me for OPness when player characters are just as OP, which is calling the kettle black. Again, I'm sorry. I was mad.

((I need to seriously finish my sentences.

In fact, Every character I listed doesn't even use their powers to the full extent of what they are capable of. Hell, Sen could effectively kill each and everyone of the people she is around just by taking advantage of type match ups. As could Ashley, Alucard, Kyle, Winry, Need I go on?

I hate to say it but OP doesn't apply to the Player characters

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: kj1225 on May 22, 2014, 08:44:55 pm

Sorry, I just did not like my character being called especially overpowered. Besides, mind control isn't viable for him unless he kills himself and waits a few turns for the revive from dying dishonorably.

Of course they don't use their powers to their full potential. It would make the game boring unless quote unquote kryptonite was everywhere to make it interesting.

Post by: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 08:49:09 pm

I know the feeling. Having the boss that I created just for the player characters to fight on a somewhat challenging ground called OP was... angering, to say the least.

Agreed.

Well, I can't fully agree with the passive mind control with no chance to loose mana thing. Maybe if it had a set amount of mana/HP where it would have to run when it got low on mana would be more reasonable?

It does have set amount of mana, but by utilizing xiuhcoatl as an infinite mana battery, it makes things difficult. Anyways, I'm pretty much done with the plot. Too many things happening over the same thing has just about turned me off of plot altogether. You were witness to one such time. Remember Jundail?

Probably not. We'll see tomorrow if I'm up for it.

Not really. I was a bit angry and didn't read the entirety of the threads.

I still think you should keep the plot going with the boss getting POLITE player input on how it should work so no one gets to terribly angry when the fight happens. Okay?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

The Jundail getting scrapped was due to GWG and Alexandria. Over, and over, and Over, and.... yeah...


As I said, I may or may not continue it. You should know by now that there is no 'polite' player input on here. :/

Well, it would be better than thinking it up and getting angry people instead of having everyone agree with what's acceptable. Say, if the mind control had a limit on how many turns it could last, or people having a buff against resisting multiple times.

At Osmodias' current level of mindcontrol, it lasts for 1 turn, or 5 minutes. He also cannot give a new command while a command is already in place.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: kj1225 on May 22, 2014, 09:19:24 pm

So maybe a way to prevent consecutive mind controls? maybe a flat resist on them for one or two turns?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 22, 2014, 09:22:13 pm

Honestly, the Mind control is meant to be passive only and it already is a 60% chance of resisting. during the main fight, Osmo wouldn't even be using the ability and would be using his True Word power. (This would be because without Uhco to power his mindcontrol he would lose control of the 100,000+ knights under his control. His mindcontrol, while at full strength, would use up way to much mana to upkeep, and thus would be mana better spent on True Word.

Post by: kj1225 on May 22, 2014, 09:27:32 pm

That's still a lot of times it would succeed. Especially if one was unlucky. Is it really to much that he has to spend a turn for the mind control to be able to work on someone again?

As said, It wouldn't even be a problem during the fight. Outside of battle, it comes in subtle forms of 'go to sleep' or 'go to the kitchen and be drugged' or 'imagine that your attacking the enemy and winning'. While strong, it really does not hold any power without Uhco upkeeping it
:/

Also, In case it hasn't occured to anyone: Osmodias= Ashmedai the corrupter.

Post by: Akroma on May 23, 2014, 04:47:33 am

I really don't want to continue argueing, but mind controling someone by sending him into a fully sensory illusion that also paralyses the body is not subtle. Especially when said body really is just a remote-controled machine, while the actual mind is 500 miles away, but so be it. I do however argue that when stuff like that happens, ICARUS does not use up battery on the wasted move - either the move happens or not. ICARUS is extremely mana dependant, and gets at best 4 moves until she is forced to retreat. ((though I think more players would be mana dependant too, if they'd bother to keep track of their mana, and had actual rules on to how much mana must be used for what))


my question, what do you mean 60% chance to resist? a TN of 40 on a d100? Do our actual stats not factor into that equation?


also, 60% sounds nice on paper, but on average it means that 4 out of 10 turns, we either do nothing, or even something detrimetal. 4 out of 10 turns is almost half of the fight. I am not sure elf quite thought that through when he approved that so easily.

Because Elf did not think that the party would have any problems.

Also, Icarus' battery is still at full charge, so don't worry about that.

Full mindcontrol would completely place one under one's power while subtle mind control is more suggestion than control. When he told alice to rest up, it was because his voice was suggesting that she was tired and sleep. The same with Wolf being hungry.

So long as there is a connecction to his eyes or voice, Osmo has the ability to implant his suggestions into a sentient being.

As for the rolls, the mind control will not be used in battle, due him already using it to control 100,000+ knights, and if he loses mana incarnate it becomes to exerting to upkeep. His True word power does not use of mana, but thats an entirely different story.

There is the matter of numerical superiority, the player characters aren't the only supernatural entities that may oppose him. Plus this IS Bay12, so you could try aiming for something crazy that minimizes the rolls he can actually make, that is, out of combat maneuvers that do not involve his stats. Or, bombard him with a large quantity rolls that he needs to make resistance rolls against, using radiation protection gear in conjunction with a dirty bomb or wearing gas masks and using chemical weapons come to mind, particularly ones that may debuff stats. Stacking poison and bleed effects also could work, seeing as they'll damage every turn even if everyone is unable to attack for that turn.

Well, this thread never gave me much of an opportunity for that in the past few weeks now did it? :P

As for other courses of action, I'd like to theorize that the optimal course of action should be the one that violates as many sections of the Geneva convention and other warfare treaties, protocols and the like in the shortest amount of time possible.

Such as setting off a couple of dirty bombs, releasing rainbow herbicides, you know? The usual? Perhaps some anthrax into the mix as well. Add some aerosolized narcotics, they're always fun to mess with, and some mustard gas while you're at it. Course, why stop there? Have a few summoning circles nearby and see if any of the void entities are amused enough by the proceedings to join in the !!FUN!!

I assume you did last turn late at night then :P ?

players should always double check ROTMG turns, it's a clunky system prone to errors, simply because the GM has to go through a dozen posts, check dozens and dozens of stats, rolls etc, it's all rather confusing and takes a lot of time. Dumah fight was the best example.

hmm....Actually, there is something I'll change. No point in letting the low-dex characters attack last, who will likely still lose a roll against a boss char even with the stack of penalties. Instead, the low dex chars go first, mostly as distractions - an actually strategic attack, instead of just a random order.

he uses his health to summon stuff, so he is not going to be summoning much more stuff. Also, reinforcements. Because this battle was, again, rushed, only icarus has an anti-demon weapon at hand. Ashley was tasked to get reinforcements and the anti demon weaponry ((dont forget that Sanure!))

Virtual particles are very short-lived field fluctuations with similar properties to their associated particle. I don't think they randomly phase in and out of existence.

Solipsism combined with Observer Theory basically. I don't particularly like it as it favors solipsism over all else, and is more of a cop-out in my opinion. Nonetheless, it means that the void's properties are determined by the person that enters it, hence, it may be entirely different when being traversed by Alucard compared to when Ashley is using it.

It's essentially in a superposition, when an observer enters and survives, they collapse the superposition. However when they leave, the destroyed states are restored, which, in my opinion breaks the analogy and ruins the whole matter as superpositions must be reduced to a single state to cause any effect. This is an issue as the void doesn't do so, it only just displays one state without truly destroying any other state, there's no resolution so there shouldn't actually be anything happening because nothing is ever resolved. I suppose one could say it's because it doesn't follow human logic at all, but that seems like a massive cop-out, no offense to @Rag.

That's a pretty interesting thing, and goes with the void summoning mechanics. Whatever form the entity takes is fueled by the summoner's subconcious and imagination, usually taking the form of whatever the book or their teacher says it takes.

No, I think the analogy holds. The voids one state is destruction. anything that is not native that enters becomes destroyed, while those that live there exist in a state of destroyed. Hence when something that can remain created there enters, Void has to adapt to them until they leave.

Well, it's obviously because of the souls that were taken into the predefined areas and used in the soul mill. Any sense of regret, fear, anger, etc, would cause the realm to take on the form of it's master/mistress. Thus whichever emotion Belkelel desires would help shape her/his realm.

I have no issue with that bit. The part I dislike is that if there is no observer, the void exists in every possible state at once and is still able to perturb the external world (that was, until Nodoka's birth) in a manner that favored certain states without destroying the other states.

That solves the issue then. The issue of inconsistencies and superpositions in the absence of external observers doesn't matter if there are always external observers in the form of those souls.

Well, Bartimaeus being a spirit would probably be defined as a shadow while inside of the void. Creation takes form. Void destroys form. Since Bartimaeus exists in Creation, he has a form (many different ones infact). Since you created Bartimaeus, what did his form in the void look like?

Since the void is always being observed by external entities, that is, the souls in the soul mill, that forces the void into a finite number of states. Not necessarily a single state though. Seeing as this is beginning to resembled a twisted, butchery of quantum mechanics, the shadows could be akin to the probability clouds electrons reside in. That is, they see a 'shadow' consisting of the probability that the other objects are in a location and doing something. The darker areas are the more likely actions and locations.

Bartimaeus has a true form as every other entity, but has never really showed it. He explained stuff like 'it will blind you' or 'you can't comprehend it', but those were mostly lies to strengthen his ego. However, Bartimaeus isn't entirely void either--he's part creation from his soul link with Alucard, but only in a minuscule amount. And this is how he shapeshifts his magic as well.

Funny, this raises the question of Barti's gender again.

Bartimaeus has a true form as every other entity.

The fuck would a true form be anyway? A fully collapsed superposition, that is, a single state? Or a superposition, so something like a probability cloud or some-such?

Or is the reason that people cannot see their true form because they could as external observers and a true form can only occur as in a superposition state and is never collapsed into?

What would a true form be anyway if the default state is a superposition? Demons seem to have monstrous true forms such as beasts (Sen) or dragons (Anyanya). Fate Aspects' truest forms would basically be the state of the entire future universe at the end of time. Actually, come to think of it, what precisely is the 'true form' of a human? Is it their soul? Is it their body? If it is their body, then at what age? In their prime? In their current state even if it no longer exists?

True forms are all based on perception. Sen's true form looks bestial because of the time when she was created. Her 'Mother' (a human/demon hybrid. Sen is full demon) probably saw her and began to fear her desire and instinct to learn. Who knows really :/

Whereas Sen's mother saw a monster with Sen, Sen saw herself in Yomiko. Thus, Yomiko's true form looks like a child-like Sen. Depends on the parents I guess.

Yes. Not funds, but rather recovering unpaid taxes or sacrificing tax evaders or just auditing (in order of value). So the circle is more likely to be under something like a IRS building than a treasury.

As for what the enchantment is, depends on the tributes given, it's @Elf's ruling on the exact prices, but it can range from anywhere between enchanting something to have similar features to Ashley's katana, to making something's form incomprehensible (making it a bitch to dodge) and negating all fundamental forces in a field around it.

Depends on the entity. In the Grim Reaper's case, unless they're trying to use it to commit, assist, or condone tax evasion, it's fine with it.

Yes, that would be presumably be more costly tribute-wise, but yes. Or negating strong force so that nuclei are ripped apart by electromagnetic forces. It's really a matter of how much is tributed. Other potential effects can include energy and magic sealing (like Ashley's katana which works on the same kind of power), information sealing (probably too costly to be feasible, seeing as having a blade of unknown size and shape would make dodging more difficult) and disrupting financial transactions (such as preventing money from moving in or out of their bank account).

The monotonous sound of a pick hitting rocks rang through the turn-mind. A miner sighed. Nothing but granite, for almost 12 meters now. If he didn't hit a new vein soon...
Exhausted, he packs up to return to his family. The smell of flour-soup, reheated and thinned from yesterday greets him. Two hungry children stare at him, gnawing on the tablecloth, as his wife asks him the question, unable to look him in the face.

"A..any luck today darling?"

The miner, at the end of his strength tries hold back sobbing.

"No...no my dear..No turns...still no turns.."

So question.

Do I:
A. Use Nobillise's Barrier ability
B. Use Nobillise's Dex boost ability

Because Since I have to make a new turn altogether for the previous messed up turn, Do I draw out the fight so it's more anticlimatic, or do I shorten it so that the main fight can happen. because it appears that people are having a good amount of fun with this fight.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

The barrier requires a MAG/MIND check to break through, but gives a if action fails, default to second action.

Post by: Sanure on May 25, 2014, 05:52:17 pm

Basically it means that if you don't break through the barrier during your action, it defaults to the secondary action posted, if one applies. It means a free action if you fail.

Hi y'all! I'm back!
...Why are you all running?

Alright, serious now. I've got a video of some KSP failures (http://youtu.be/HgEk1nyUtKc) on YouTube and I am working on another video, one of more intentional failures. I introduced my brother to RWBY; he seems to like it alright. We got into an argument over if the Ember Celia or Stormflower would be less impractical in the real world. (A neutral expert declared them both very impractical.) And some other stuff has been happening, but you'll care even less about those.

Anyways. What's been going on in RotMG?

The jets are gone and the seraphim bomb detonated, teleporting everyone everwhere and giving people a perk
Everyone is now storming the Vatican, fighting people like Osmodias and Luthar. There is a magic key which opens the vault where I think Mana Incarnate, a girl, is, and everyone is trying to get the key.

luthar is almost dead, it would be best to blast all forces against him, save xiuh and *then* go for osmodias, robbed of his trump card, and with the rest ot the order leaving mindcontrole and hopefully joining us.


also shit yes Will is back. Since he learned how to Aria, he has become a *super* useful teambuffer

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 26, 2014, 09:06:56 am

Remember what Luthar pulled in singapor with that health tonic? he has 300 left, The order's health tonics heal fully, but can only be used once per battle. So the second he is low on health (??<100) You can expect him to use it.

will does not know a binding Aria strong enough to affect Luthar.

Remember, The more people that enter into a battle, the more difficult I will make it.

Also, remember that Aria's were 'meant for demons'. atleast, the ones The order knows. Osmodias were meant for everything.

Will has 40 mind, Luthar has 40 mind. Saying nyope, Luthar is just immune to them is kinda unfair.


btw, removal Aria removes demons of lower level than the user. what level are the demons currently in battle, what level is will?

taking out an health potion, opening it, and then drinking the whole thing, while heavily wounded and under constant enemy attack is easier than swinging a sword?


but mainly, it's a balance issue. A single action, without a roll involved, to instantly refill your entire health? On a dude with almost 800 health? Whose powers work by using his health? Frankly, if this action can not be contested, it instantly turns the entire fight around. The dude can happily summon *plenti* more demons, while his massive endurance and high dex (even higher because some of the demons can buff him even further) ensure that we can just slowly plink away at his health. frankly if he was not mass summoning stuff to bring himself low, we would not have gotten him as low as he is now at all

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 26, 2014, 09:39:34 am

Osmodias is another name for Ashmadie, also know as Asmodius. A king of Hell and a very powerful demon.

The perk is called Destabilized Mana, which gives a 25% reduced mana cost for actions using mana, a 25% mana regen rate, and each time your mana is used, you take 1d6 damage dependent on the roll.
1 takes 10% damage of mana spent
2 takes 20%
3 takes 30%
4 takes 40%
5 takes no damage
6 takes no damage


And no. I said that his healing would take place at end of turn, so no arguing.
None.
Will has been training swordplay with Kyo. So will is also good with swords now. go figure.

Nuriel is somewhere.

Also, Arias have an upper limit level as well.

The demons are the same level as will and luthar is probably 6 or 7 levels higher than Will.

Can I give it back? That thing is literally worse than useless. Mana regens so fast normally that it's meaningless (assuming anyone bothers to track it), and aside from reducing the regen to a quarter of the rate, I end up taking damage every time I use magic?
What. The. Hell.

As soon as Uhco is saved, the perk will have the negative part removed.

Regardless, it's still useless because--again--mana has never mattered. Basically, my "perk" is a temporary, major weakness, which can eventually be removed. Again: What the hell?

Is Will an "actual combatant"?

Post by: Sanure on May 26, 2014, 10:17:06 am

Mana has always mattered. I do keep track of spent mana, though not in the turn. Just suck it up until it gets removed so Nuriel can be a lot stronger. Nuriel is also not the only one who got it. Stella, Hilda, Icarus (though not affected by it) and Winry all got it too.

I guess to be able to use an Aria, he would have to get close enough to count as a combatant. dont worry, you can just apply the anti-physical damage buff to yourself as well

Thing about Aria's as I explained at an earlier time is that unless the person is a Paladin or higher, The buffs can either only target allies or one's self and not both. The best thing to do is have someone to protect Will, Either Neferis or Stella. ((since both are great tanks))

If he can be bothered to go grab the rifle, yes. Seeing as it pierces walls and lets him use MND to cause organ-failure on a successful hit. Plus if he takes one shot every two turns with every other turn being used to lock-on, he'll only be using MND, his main stat, to both hit and harm.

And I got home to find out that my laptop has overheated for the last time. Being my main computer, I was devastated. Until I remembered that it didn't have any of my important junk on it. Anyways I'll be on my phone for the next couple of days while I find my old laptop and get it internet worthy again.

A while ago, I found this game called "Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok" on Steam. I got around to playing it today, and while it was fun for a while, I discovered a slight flaw.

I kept dying to random encounters.

It's the combat system, I guess. I've got some vague hints about what to do, but I'm not sure how to dodge. Not helping is that all the controls need to be done with the mouse. Lovely.
Anyone else have the game, by some chance? Any pointers?

((overwhelming odds can be provided))

Given how overwhelming our characters' power and influence are, if we don't start over we'll need to escalate the enemies' power to ever-increasing heights. Our characters can kill minor gods with ease and have major ones on call; what can hope to stand against us?

Quote from: Akroma on May 29, 2014, 10:18:28 am

((I always said that you guys made too many chars, note how I always sticked to one, dropping Hainuwele as soon as ICARUS came about. Don't get me started about power levels :P. As far as interaction goes, I will tell you the same as everyone else - you alone decide how much interaction your char gets or not. If you want combat to be less of a clusterfuck, you may or may not decide to have one combatant, and various characters purely for non-combat, kinda like what GWG has going, Nuriel in battles, Will in non-battles. Everyone having a swarm of characters is just a stupid idea. If everyone only focuses on one, *maybe* two, suddenly it's a whole lot less clusterfucky))

That's hardly the worst of it. Most people don't have more than one or maybe two characters who routinely go on missions. The problem is that we have so many freaking characters. And no audit process for them.

Quote

edit: ((that being said, it's not always the GMs fault if a plot is not fun. Characters need to involve themselves in the plot too.

I'd put the blame less on either and more on what the game has mutated into.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 29, 2014, 10:36:46 am

Well, I'd have no problem with a Game review with tighter GMing. For starters, reducing the amount of characters quite a bit. I'd say "one per player" but a least PN has two characters that I'd need at hand for future things. Secondly, resources. Too many things can be handwaved a bit too easily, considering some chars are millionaires, while the others either instantly build stuff they need, or have IRIS ship it in. IRIS is useful as a coordinative effort to give players informations, plothooks and to simply have an explanation what is going on, but simply put, is too powerful, to much money, too big numbers - too convenient.

as far as it gets to powers, powers are simply hard to balance.

but frankly, if you want a real balancing factor - no more bracelets. Characters are at a location or they are not, distances exist. I know it's convenient for communication, but that's what phones are for. For now, it's a "swarm combat" button. Also, a guarantee nobody will ever die, because teleporting out. Frankly, Keiths leg was ripped off, and Kyle immediatly teleported into battle, Keith received no actual medical attention. When we return home, we should notice a very bled-to-death keith


edit: also, no more gods. Gods, Satan etc have been mega trivialised, to dudes we just have friendly drinks with, and by that standard, none of our characters ever show and respect, awe or simply fear, no matter what they are faced with. They have information at hand readily, so there is nothing we don't rather quickly understand either. Gods should be limited to rare high-points, and demon lords like osmodias actually terrifying things - and that not just by being statsponges, but simply by characters and players additude towards the whole thing.

well, the battle against Osmodias and the order could count as a big enough event to call for a long timeskip, after which continuity can be discussed, and the thread move into a new chapter. Character clutter can be removed by some characters simply moving on to a new phase of their lives, old characters can get a bit of a redesign, or new main ones can be found. Abilities and resources are up for evaluation as well, retcons can be found as convenient (like Zhengara not being an actual god, just, dunno, a malevolent spirit or stuff. Supernatural things curse people all the time, or not?


I am all for reviews and reimaginations, though as a total, I am unwilling to just start from scratch. There are character dynamics here that I'd hate to just abandon. For once a game has run long enough that characters pasts actually happened ingame for a good chunk. But first, we need a lon´g break from all the combat, and focus on interactions again more. Perhaps with all the char-deaths from the culling, the other chars simply decided to move on, they might not want this anymore. And with all the terrorism and stuff going on, there may very well be a worldwide crackdown on magic and organisations like IRIS that as a private company still have more money and simply more military power than most nations. Characters might go in hiding, their resources are gone, and they lead a new life now.

It makes for an interesting narrative arc, and a good soil for interaction between characters when then someone stumbles upon plot, feels like something *really* needs to be done, and gathers the PCs he can find to form a counter offensive - and that without massive outside support. Without a deus ex machina to turn to to get everything they need at a moments notice, and that lets them get away with basicaly whatever, it all becomes a whole lot more difficult, and that not just by ramping up power of the enemy

I was thinking of trying to run a new version of this/ new magic peoples esque game, with less mega factions, no characters with corporations controlling magic, 1-2 characters per player MAX (with the second being more for RP purposes and to fit the theme), and no player run mission plots. (Roleplay mini missions in 'home base' so to speak would probably be fine)

The basic plot is rather simple, but heavily influenced by player actions. Also, more on keeping powers/magic incognito, and a used mana regeneration system. Thoughts?

being rescued from a mental facility and recovering from the consequences might serve as character development. But hey, in the end Kyle is rather rich - money may very well be used in various ways to get by the crackdown rather unscathed.

Well, Luna would probably get super mad at someone in the end and just disappear from everyones radar's, probably with Jaque. Completely off the grid for most.

Selina, depending on how many years we skip, would probably either still be dating Maria, or married to her. Could also be married to Nuriel, Yuri, and Demons Run, but Yuri and DR are Rag's charaters, and he's pretty much disappeared from the forum entirely. Nuriel... its possible. Selina would also be avoiding using her magic much at all.

Meme and Mimi... I have no clue where they would end up.

Conny would most likely be with Ashley somewhere, raising Catherine.

hmm, that's a bit difficult indeed. But one or two of them may have very well escaped. Apart from Kyles tentacles, there is nothing at all that stops any of them from going into hiding, and even doing some vigilantism when nobody is looking. Note Batman. The world he is living in is very much not his ally. He can still pull it off. He may also pull it off if he wasn't a billionair, by being crafty.

Alucard and Bartimaeus would probably move away and live in a secluded life while the former conducts secret experiments while the latter does missions to benefit the void.

HILDA would probably wander.

Lizzie might go with Rose or something.

Winry would probably be dead or something like that.

making a new one entirely from scratch is annoying, as I sort of rely on the existing character dynamics. Hehe, I even had such a nice plan for Kyle in my plot.

hmm, as a whole it's more of a question between justice league and the X-Men. Justice league has fucking impossible to defeat or even be slightly bothered by enemy plans superman, and a space station. They are revered as heroes by everyone, and laws basicaly dont exist for them.

X-Men have racial segregation, and have to hide from the world under the pretext of being a school. Well, they still have impossible to defeat or even be slightly bothered by enemy plans wolverine, and their resources are still very ill-defined, but at least they can not just trample over the world and not give a fuck.

How about we hold off on the crack down of magic for a later (I.E. Much much later) date? I'd rather not having Sen and Yomiko on the run for being demons. Samson wouldn't care so meh. And Uhco would be the target of an old fashioned Witch hunt due to her being the "Mana Incarnate"

I think elf meant to go ahead and get the game back to a reasonable sanity by killing off un-needed characters or retiring some that aren't important. Or something like that.

Unless we kill basically everyone, that won't really help much.

Quote from: RangerCado on May 29, 2014, 10:59:09 am

I was thinking of trying to run a new version of this/ new magic peoples esque game, with less mega factions, no characters with corporations controlling magic, 1-2 characters per player MAX (with the second being more for RP purposes and to fit the theme), and no player run mission plots. (Roleplay mini missions in 'home base' so to speak would probably be fine)

The basic plot is rather simple, but heavily influenced by player actions. Also, more on keeping powers/magic incognito, and a used mana regeneration system. Thoughts?

Sounds like a fun time. Solves most of the biggest problems.

Quote from: kj1225 on May 29, 2014, 11:19:20 am

Kyle Keith and Kate are all dead or in jail for fighting in the crackdown... And I have no more characters because why the hell would I play a game where my characters get penalized for using their main power?

Why do your characters have main powers that get penalties?
And if you don't like this, you don't have to play. Go find some other game where you can godmode to your heart's content. The rest of us don't seem to like that idea.

RotMG has already changed, repeatedly. It changed a bit once or twice under scapheap's GMship, then when it passed to Elf, then as we got back into missions, then as more players came in, then as player missions started, then again and again as new developments changed dynamics. This change might be more deliberate and planned than the others, but it's still no more a change than all the others.

well, as i said, it's really a thing to cull a bit down on character count. having a singler character to focus on actually gives some room for character depth. As far as Sen goes, she can easily look very human. It's just that she has to watch out more. Maybe there could be short-range magic scanner, dunno, retina scan to check for humanity or whatever, but that doesn't mean magic suddenly goes away. Only the magic stuff that is not smart enough to hide and adapt. There's probably lots of underground stuff happening everywhere

We don't know what the rest of the world has been up to. Assuming that the governments haven't changed at all? Stupid.
Besides, it's known that there are threats that we haven't handled, that have gotten out of control. And we're about as socially conscious as Superman; sure, we beat up General Zod, but we cause a good bit of collateral damage, too.

Post by: Akroma on May 29, 2014, 11:44:27 am

thing is, in this setting, governments have been an entire non-entity, ever. IRIS is ignoring laws left right and center, and frankly speaking if the government wasn't so much of a non-entity, they could have handled everything we had handled.

as far as riots on the streets go, magic is more or less going crazy. People'd be more afraid of magic than accepting towards it, seriously, this is humanity. Government would be quick to catch on that and increase that stance. magic *is* super dangerous, and really *does* need regulation. And regulation is not a bunch of teenager running around and blowing magical criminals to shreds. that's murder.

also, simply by having a group of people around strong enough to face alien invasions on their own, that is not being controled by the government, the government will immediatly want to stop that noise. IRIS is far too powerful and independant for their own good.

Think about the 'InFamous mentality'. InFamous is a game where you control a character with electricity powers. In every game in the series, people were always terrified of you at the start, but liked you (if you went the Good path) by the end. However, the next game in the series always showed that mentality coming back, especially in the third where its explained more indepth the reasoning behind this.

The fear always came back because people doing crazy, impossible things on a whim was scary. Imagine if you were caught in a bank robbery, and then some suddenly starts shooting fire at the robbers from their hands. No matter how much good they were doing to help others, everyone would still be TERRIFIED of the guy with fire hands.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 29, 2014, 11:51:55 am

anything that falls under Elfs jurisdiction is handled by apathy and will never be handled at all. Just, putting that out there.


At the very least magic would need to be registered, one would need permits for that, and if you want to use magic fireballs to fight criminals, be sure that there are incredibly strict laws for that. For once, you'd have to be part of the police or something, and heck, just the paperwork needed for the police to shoot someone with a normal gun is huge. Magic, now that stuff is a beurocratical nightmare. So in short, it will be controled to hell and back.




the fact that the people who use magic for the good of others, (and succeed indoing so without collateral damage) would likely be highly in the minority, compared to those who'd use their newfound powers to rob banks or take revenge on people who bullied them (just imagine highschool when a bullied nerd suddenly gets super strength. The chance there is a bully who suddenly has his arms ripped off is incredibly high) would run through the media non-stop. The few actually succesful vigilantes would soon be entirely overshadowed.




remember that a big magical girl and super hero trope alike is that none of these dudes actually reveal themselves to public without a mask, because of the serious backlash

I've already established this anyway. Also, I'm going to go on the side of government generally supports magical girl activities specifically if registered. But, prejudice wouldn't be as much as has been said.

Why? One, this is magical girls, not a superhero series. Two, because pissing off the magical community is just begging to get the entire world blown up, by nukes or spells. Three, because at least half the major players are Cradles of Magic and have at least part of the government as magical figures or at least sympathetic.

I've already established this. Don't expect me to be apathetic without first asking.

well, back to the topic at hand. We have too many characters, and too naby resources, making any forms of suspence obsolete. We have casual talks with gods, and the general mentality is that nothing needs to be respected, feared to watched out for. The road is simply too smooth. That's not how a game that makes you feel awesome works - if you already start awesome, there is no sense of achievement whatsoever.


I understand fully when people get bored by that.

edit: and by what elf is saying, it seems that is not just a case of unbalance, that seems fully intended. the setting is to give us no challenge whatsoever, and instead unlimited resources to do unlimited things

I have a slight problem (that can easily be fixed, really) with the long timeskip, as it kind of interferes with Ashley plot, and make her development with her turning more void not an active issue. Though, this really depends on how long the timeskip is.

As for the banning of bracelet teleportation in combat, I'm fine with that, as long as it extends to outright teleportation for obvious reasons.

It doesn't have options that will help much. Yes, it would probably help if we had fewer characters, but most of the problematic ones remain quite active, but the problem is more fundamental. A clean slate, new characters, and whatnot is pretty much the only way we can get rid of the gamebreaking characters and legacy of mandatory one-upmanship.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 29, 2014, 12:47:15 pm

The unlimited resources are linked to the powers in two ways:
1. The reason we have them is much the same: Characters which were designed and approved without balance in mind, or whose powers/influence/etc were broadened and broadened until issues came up.
2. Some of the more problematic powers, like Selina's anything creation, Kyle's tech, etc, provide said unlimited resources and information.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 29, 2014, 01:04:26 pm

I don't actually think Selina's "Anything creation" power is all that OP. First off, doing anything that uses mana can cause her to become exhausted. Secondly, Kyle's tech is what his power pretty much is now. He has a personae, which prevents him from using his original power, thus making him an ordinary person. That means that Kyle's powers are his personae and any perks he gets from leveling up.

Basically, I do not think that Kyle or Selina are OP characters. In fact, I think Will is more OP than Kyle, and Will is a normal person who happens to be a great tactician and good at swordplay and using true-word magic (granted he needs way more years of training to fully use them).

Quote from: Sanure on May 29, 2014, 01:04:26 pm

I don't actually think Selina's "Anything creation" power is all that OP. First off, doing anything that uses mana can cause her to become exhausted. Secondly, Kyle's tech is what his power pretty much is now. He has a personae, which prevents him from using his original power, thus making him an ordinary person. That means that Kyle's powers are his personae and any perks he gets from leveling up.

I do believe you're missing the point. The point isn't that this makes them good at fighting; the point is that they can make crap that makes various plot points irrelevant. The most prominent example is Selina's bracelets, but Kyle, Lunette, and the other major "crafters" have all made devices that have trivialized things that should take effort.
In the words of Taylor Herbert, "Fucking tinkers."

Quote

In fact, I think Will is more OP than Kyle, and Will is a normal person who happens to be a great tactician and good at swordplay and using true-word magic (granted he needs way more years of training to fully use them).

Wow. You're very very good at not understanding what makes someone OP.
What makes Will OP is not that he is good in combat, but that he trivializes the task of gathering information to some extent. He's less OP than Kyle and Selina because they trivialize more tasks, better.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 29, 2014, 04:22:09 pm

And you also miss the point. Kyle is great at making things. Selina is great at drawing. Will is great at being able to figure things out.

Over powered is defined by a person that is invincible to everything thrown at them while defeating everyone without breaking a sweat.

Selina is a squishy mage. Cut off Kyles arms and legs and he can't invent anything anymore. Anything Will gets thrown at him will kill him. Not OP.

Sen however, even with the absorbing a book takes all of her current mana nerf, could be called OP. She can learn any spell from a magic book, and can heal herself, or escape by teleporting, or even seal a persons power forever. Yet, Salt will screw her over as well as silver, and if you seal her powers, she is practically just a human who loves to read. Hell, Trap her in a summoning circle and she is screwed.

Bartimaeus can be considered kind of OP too. I mean, he can shapeshift his form, voice, personality, and even his magic.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 29, 2014, 04:25:53 pm

Overpowered is not defined so narrowly by anyone with common sense. Overpowered is defined, simply, as how much one can disrupt a game with one's power. Kal-El would be overpowered in World of Warcraft, but not Phoenix Wright. Similarly, while Millenium Pegasus would probably be overpowered in Phoenix Wright, he wouldn't be a problem in World of Warcraft.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Kansa on May 29, 2014, 04:27:51 pm

While I'm not sure they are op or not that really isn't the best case that they aren't Sanure. Yes Selina is squishy but she never actually has to go into combat and can still be op in creating stuff because of that. If Kyle got his arms and legs cut off he could just get prosthetics and continue to invent stuff. Will once again never has to actually go into combat so he can make observations on the side and never get hurt.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 29, 2014, 04:29:15 pm

What I'm getting at is that anyone with a strong utility power is to be considered OP.

Post by: Akroma on May 29, 2014, 04:32:28 pm

Well, I dare say that just having the book in your head does not mean you are actually effective at casting whatever is in them. Power comes with specialisation. You can be an extremely strong mage at one kind of magic, or a tinkerer in a dozen.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Sanure on May 29, 2014, 04:34:42 pm

Sen however does gain the full understanding to use the magic. Once she absorbs a magic book, She has the abilitly to cast it at full strength. To limit that, I decided that to cast a spell at full strength, Sen needs a entity to act as a catalyst.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: PrivateNomad on May 29, 2014, 04:37:02 pm

I suppose Barti's magishifting isn't that OP. It uses what little HP he has.

An entity to channel magic through. Hyoma was a catalyst back when Sen was still partially sealed inside of him. Sen hasn't had a new Catalyst since.

Post by: Sanure on May 29, 2014, 05:05:35 pm

Let's see, the last I checked, A minor fire spell cast by Sen costs the same as a moderate spell cast by Nuriel. So I would say that the spells Sen casts are at 1/3 to 1/4 strength.

Ah. I'm guessing the Key opened a bridge to somewhere other than the desired destination. One of the Limits that I placed on the key was that if a user attempted to use it without a sufficent mind score (about 40) then it would need a MIND DC 60 check else it connected to a random location.

Luthar has the mind to control the key. As does Will, Yomiko and anyone else with a mind of 40 up.

teleportation *out* of the battle was the least of the problems, it's people swarming into the battle which created the problems I think. Some contingency plan to save a main character from an unexpectedly hard fight, combined with very very unlucky dice may reduce the threat level, but is hardly unbalanced. Now, a one vs one instantly turning into 12 vs 1 in a few rounds, *that* turns combat threat to a joke.


also okay, I shall edit the turn

Post by: PrivateNomad on May 29, 2014, 06:24:46 pm

You're right--besides, that would make actual war much funner. You got to actually mobilize squads to intercept the enemy instead of a teleporter going there and everyone else just joining in to fuck the enemy up.

25% of an earthquake is still effective. 25% of a teleportation is much less than what Sen's actually done with teleportation. Moreover...there's a reason that even with only moderately powerful powers, Eidolon is considered to be by far the most powerful parahuman in the Wormverse.

Sen's teleportation spell ranges from 1 person to as many people or objects as her mana can transport. She can even teleport people who aren't near here to a different location. Without a catalyst, She can only teleport herself and maybe 2 or 3 more people to the same location

That's still a damn good teleportation spell. And...well...look at my other point. In case you don't read Worm, Eidolon's power is basically being able to switch through a set of a few moderately-powerful powers at a time. He's considered the most powerful parahuman by far, up on the same level as indestructible superpowered kaiju, even though he has a number of drawbacks Sen lacks.

You misunderstand. I'm not saying that she shouldn't be able to have her power for fluff reasons. I'm saying that, from a game balance perspective, she's broken.

That's the thing. Logic doesn't actually apply to a lot of the characters in the game. Yuri was able to seal and make a contract with a demon, having no previous experience doing so, and only read about how to do it. Kyle, despite being only 16 and having less than a highschool education, was able to make a high-tech, fully functional powersuit and an AI to help him operate it. Meme, a literal 5 year old catgirl, underwent asexual reproduction and created Mimi. Bismuth, who used to be a human male, used alchemy to transform into a metal woman made of bronze.

You couldn't adapt it a bit Projeck? (Sads that you might lose the work though. :( )

And if you all think about it, the characters we wish to main now would end up being just those who were also captured in attempts to fight back. ICARUS would be maybe shut down somewhere as we escape, Sen trapped in a circle.

Maybe it could work?

And Alucard summoning entities en mass for the glorious revolution.

Well, the way that they're wording it, the players have been in a simulation this entire time. That means all of my characters basically go back to their raw selves whenever they were originally made.

Overthrowing the Layar? Shit, sounds tempting. But that means a lot of the lore would have to be retconned. Like all the stuff with Ashley and the void gate.

Not a problem to me. The lore I made for Hell can go on unmolested!


Although wait. If the original characters wake up and discover they were in a simulation, why are all the other characters also there?

Same with Alucard. Except he was in the void for 15,000 years void time (I did the math).

Bartimaeus would be trapped inside an anti-void bottle in Saudi Arabia

HILDA would be shut down or something.

Lizzie would be captured probably.

It would pretty much mean that a lot of retconning would be needed to explain things.

Sen would still be sealed inside of Hyoma, who would not have been exiled from his village, thus having one of the last free human locations.

Samson would be dead due to constant fighting, being captured, breaking free, etc.

Grandiose would look like a Layar.

Ktakubo would have not given a fuck.

Uhco would... I don't really know...

Meme wouldn't exist, nor Mimi or Morgan.

Conny, to keep me down to one character for a bit, could be trapped in a different facility after getting away from the final battle barely, and avoiding capture for 2 days before getting captured and being taken to a different facility.

Selina would probably be heavily traumatized by the experience of the simulation... and Luna would be in her head with no one knowing again!

Bracelets wouldn't have teleport either.

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 04:02:09 am

before you guys get started, this is not a rant, no argueing. It's just something that sort of concerns me, a balancing issue that needs to be adressed, if we are going to win againt Luthar in a timely manner - and we need to, because a) he is not even the main boss and b) long drawn out fights *kill* this game.

the problem at hand, explained via ICARUS stats

ICARUS and Luthar both have 25 dex - which means to hit Luthar, there is a 50% chance

ICARUS has 15 strength and Luthar has 50 (!!!!) endurance - to deal any damage whatsoever, ICARUS needs to roll above 35 - there is only a 30% chance of that happening, meaning there is a total of 15% chance to deal any damage whatsoever. And these attacks deal, at max, between 1 and 15 damage, so on average 8 damage. Lets be grateful and say that with the above chances, 2 out of 10 attacks damage Luthar, that's 14 damage in 10 rounds, giving ICARUS a DPS of 1.4 points of damage per turn.

I did the math for other characters, most don't get above 1 damage per turn - and that's before taking into account
- the dex buff giving Luthar another 10% evasion
- the strength debuff reducing our chances to damage Luthar by another 10%
- the barrier adding another 50% (roughly, actually a whole lot higher) chance of us missing

Luthar has about 800 health - you can imagine just how long it will take to actually defeat the dude even with all character pummeling on him at once, and I repeat, that guy is not even the main boss, who has even more ridiculous stats.

So before I start bitching about how utterly broken and bullshit this is - which it is (Did this thought never occur to Sanure or Elf during discussions that the enemy also needs to be defeated in less than an IRL month?), it's time for what ICARUS does best - strategy.

a) we need to take out all of the buff/debuff demons. That should be doable quickly.
b) EVERYONE needs to attack Luthar. Wether or not we will deal damage is irrelevant, this only has one purpose - to distract Luthar from the only character who can actually do something - Neferis. Luthar only has 10 Strength - Once Neferis is successfully grapplöing Luthar, Luthar can no longer move, at least for a few turns.
c) As this does not change the fact that we can not harm Luthar and his mountainous End, we will now proceed to collapse the ceiling on him. This will not kill him, however we have taken away his teleportation key, and 10 Str. is NOT enough to save yourself from a cave-in, let alone move a finger.
d) Neferis, who can walk through walls, leaves the cave-in with no problem. We proceed to kill any remaining demons that attempt to free him from the cave-in

and bam, Luthar is neutralised, in what, I'd say 5 turns at max? As opposed to the 50+ turns we would need for Luthar otherwise, that is a bit more acceptable.


((also what, we were all in the matrix? God damnit guys, yeah go ahead and make any char development that happened and that was planned, alongside all the plots I had planned irrelevant))


edit: btw, as I am pro-overwhelming odds, I take this turn of events as a good thing. That we are unable to simply devastate Luthar to dust by sheer numbers, and instead need to act strategicaly, making use of environment, our own strengths and Luthars weaknesses is a positive thing. Still, as this seems entirely unintended, god damnit Sanure and Elf, you need to think twice before slapping stats higher than 40 in dex or endurance. They seriously can make or break a fight. High str, mag or mind, no problem, but dex and end are the game makers

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 04:15:14 am

on second thought, I think I *could* make ICARUS work in such a reboot of the game, but the question is, who GMs the subsequent overthrow of the layar, and *how long will that take*?

In about 2 months, I'm on full scale employment that will have me wake up early, be busy during the day, and likely so tired in the evening that I won't be GMing anything.

Sigh, like this my plot will never start....


edit: on third thought, no. ICARUS started as non-sentient and worked her way slowly to what she is today. All that having been a simulation and then some sloppy retcon shit entirely on EVERYTHING

For now, it's a "swarm combat" button. Also, a guarantee nobody will ever die, because teleporting out. Frankly, Keiths leg was ripped off, and Kyle immediatly teleported into battle, Keith received no actual medical attention. When we return home, we should notice a very bled-to-death keith

I would presume that it can be jammed, plus it takes two turns to teleport. Except @Sanure decided to use GM's authority to negate that limitation for the fight, presumably so that Keith had a sporting chance or something.

Well, for one thing I don't think the general public would like the people that have been keeping the safer than their governments have being targeted. I mean, we did save the world, IRIS publicaly came out to fight the Order, and most magic criminals are being fought be magic vigilantes. I'd think there'd be riots in the street if people tried that.

You didn't save the world single-handedly.
IRIS contributed. So what? They're a supernatural organization, but so is the Order. No need for the guards if what they guard people form get removed.
Vigilantism isn't exactly legal, it is prone to the caprices of myopia, emotion and various other factors, furthermore there is still the matter of what methods are used. If it's too heavy handed, it can't be tolerated, if whatever arrests they make are not legally recognized, then there may not even be grounds to detain a criminal. Also, the obsoletion of guards upon the removal of threats pops up again.

What, so squishy humans are supposed to beat Void monsters with money now?

*cough*Wall Street*cough*

---

---

How about this? Handle plots, lore, effects, etc from their cause and not trace from effects and do so with limitations in mind?

First, get a reason for why the eldritch/infernal/divine entities that everyone and their fucking pet dogs seem to be homies with can't just dues ex machina.

Next, ground the setting in causality. If Kyle or ICARUS or HILDA want to use or make some sort of technological or magical-technological implement, don't do just let them with a roll or something. Get them to explain precisely how it works. Consult @GWG for the science involved, consult relevant lore-holders for the magic involved. If it's possible but the means isn't known, do not allow it. What precisely did Jung have to do with the actual supernatural personae? For that matter, what about Freud, who was rather close to Jung and whose theory had some points of similarities?

Figure out how these organizations run. Yes, IRIS and Yuri's family are global conspiracies. WHAT THE FUCK FUNDS THEM? WHERE DO THEY GET THEIR SHIT? HOW DO THEY HAVE POWER? Answer those and they'll balance themselves, because flaws, weak points, capricious dependencies and the like will emerge, revealing issues with supply, or control, and provide limits to them. Trace them down to their very roots and you'll get a list of what can send them grinding to a halt.

FIGURE OUT HOW MAGIC WORKS! As in the mechanics that govern the applications of abilities. That helps sort out the difficulty of rolls, resistances and whatnot. How precisely do Abraxas, Ashley, Alucard and Bartaemus actually use void attacks? Are they similar? What underlying phenomena do they exploit to manifest the antithesis of Creation INSIDE Creation? Because Baratemus can inconsequently lash people with void and not do much whilst Abraxas seems to have a spectrum of void attacks that vary and Ashley can apparently obliterate things whole with it. I doubt those arise from the exact same phenomena. Get these down to the finest of axioms, not lofty presumptions that can go either way. What is each type of magic? Functional? Semantic?

Review non-original content. This has an awfully large quantity of stuff from other sources made by other people for other settings. Do they fit? If their mechanics don't work, then figure out what alternate in-universe mechanics could let them and what new limitations are consequently formed.

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 05:03:43 am

well, as far as IRIS goes, if we go on playing, rather than suddenly putting everyone in the matrix, I do have the outlines for a political plot ready. There is no need to timeskip into an anti-magic distopia, as it would be much more interesting to actually see the changes happening, try to influence the whole thing etc. IRIS and the PCs have given the world politicians enough reason to want to take action, as well as ammunition to further their cause.


A political plot might be a nice change of pace. Enough with the plots that get fixed via fights. A plot where none of our combat power is relevant, heck where using our powers might even be detrimetal depending on how we use them...might be worth it. What matters is that not every point the opposition raises is handwaved by "well, IRIS is just too powerful, nobody wants to ever fuck with them". Mostly because that is all the more reason why people would be easily rallied against IRIS.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

I think a more important issue is that IRIS was defined as a CONSPIRACY. Making itself public is going to cause issues for sure, after all, if it is a conspiracy and has as much power, resources and whatnot, then I doubt much of it was obtained legally.

No need to. Fuck the characters. Fuck their lives, their relationships, everything.

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 06:26:07 am

hmm, after some thinking, I think I may actually do have a proper explanation for the character development of ICARUS so far, in perspective to the whole matrix thing, alongside a possible redesign of ICARUS field of abilities in regards of a possible rebalancing of abilities. That is, ICARUS was not put into the matrix by the layar - she attempted to hack herself into it as part of the resistance. ICARUS will remain an electronical entity even in any reboots, so she more or less entered her mind into the matrix, as a mission to wake people inside up. The hacking process was slow, and so her mind entered the matrix gradualy, bit by bit. By now, she is still not fully inside, and thus the in-matrix ICARUS is still entirely convinced of the actualy backstory the out-matrix ICARUS made up.


when the time for the reboot comes and people are to wake up, ICARUS may very well be the one who initiates that. My plots can possibly be adjusted to fit whatever setting we are in when we wake up, but is definetly a post-layar thing.

Yeah, that has plenty of flaws in its own right, for starters, considering that Layar were characterized as having a code of honor, imprisoning and experimenting with people seems out of character for them, not to mention that if they decided to cast that aside, they probably would have something to kill off everyone as a fail-safe should they escape. Furthermore it requires the Layar to know more than they should and also the simulation to be as fucked up as the stuff this explanation is fixing. Surely the development team would have looked at all the shit we've been trying to resolve and say "We need to fucking fix that otherwise no one will believe it!"?

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 06:41:03 am

it's not quite a new game, as it would be still the same characters, only with a few changes here and there, where their matrix self imagined them to be more powerful than they actually are. As for the strawpoll not letting you vote, I have no idea how to fix that.




also, it depends on who GMs the wake-up plot and the war against the layar, it might not be all that clumsy actually. Enough players agree that yes, there are things in that game that need fixing, but are unwilling to abandon established characters, character-interactions, established lore and plots.




the main problem I see is, how can Ashley be fit into this, as her plot and char development already started and suffers immensely from being interrupted in the middle of it. Sadly, I dont know enough about what is being planned to offer ideas other than this:


the simulation could mostly be fuelled by the people imprisoned in it, so the layar dont actually have to controle and set things to be happening. Ashleys void problems could have simply happened in the pre-matrix times already, and what is happening with her mind in the simulation right now reflects more or less accurately what is happening with her body in reality, where the void problems don't suddenly stand still just because Ashley is in a simulation

What would be the point though? Why would the Layar, who were just in it because it was cheaper to defeat humanity and extract resources than trading for them, proceed to blow god knows how much on creating something like this simulation, presumably using plenty of the resources they are fighting for in the first place?

Plus if it's fueled by the people imprisoned in them, then it won't work. Because there are people cynical and grounded enough to oppose the unrealistic elements. The nativity that fuels the inconsistencies only works if enough people are that naive.

Overall, I think it's a rather hamfisted approach to resolving these issues.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 06:52:14 am

could be the layar, could be someone else I guess.


Maybe it's an alternative world where Osmodias actually succeeded, his magnum opus of mind-controle enslaved the minds of humanity, which he now holds prisoner, while leeching energy from them or something. What we are seeing now in the simulation is just him having a laugh, letting us live through our defeat over and over again

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on May 30, 2014, 06:57:39 am

Then how is everyone breaking out then? If he's succeeded, wouldn't he be even more powerful? Perhaps powerful enough for people not to break out?

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 07:00:50 am

there ought to be some entities in the world that evaded the mind-controle. While we are fighting in the simulation, other demons or gods or whatever may be fighting him in reality. Gods don't usualy intervene, but when such large scale stuff is going on for too long, some of them may very well descend into the world so set things right again

GWG, quit trying to get rid of everyone's most used and favorite characters. It's not working.

Screw you and your accusations. I'm trying to get this game to be fun again. If that means defining the powers of some people better, then great!
Example: Selina's power. She can only create mundane objects. No communication bracelets, no teleportation anything, etc. No longer an issue.

Quote from: kj1225 on May 29, 2014, 11:08:47 pm

To be fair, Kyle got slightly less OP in terms of powers.

How?

Quote

And you never objected to the OP people when they were in the original thread.

Because they weren't breaking the game. Now they are. Also, there's a lot more of them.

Quote from: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 04:02:09 am

before you guys get started, this is not a rant, no argueing.

Just for that, I'm going to find something to argue with.

Quote

...to deal any damage whatsoever, ICARUS needs to roll above 35 - there is only a 30% chance of that happening, meaning there is a total of 15% chance to deal any damage whatsoever.

Last I checked, there was a 35% chance of that not happening.

Quote

...giving ICARUS a DPS of 1.4 points of damage per turn.

DPS is "damage per second". Talking about it in damage per turn is like saying "My car can get an mpg of 70 miles to the liter".

Quote

(Did this thought never occur to Sanure or Elf during discussions that the enemy also needs to be defeated in less than an IRL month?)

One, with turns as infrequent as they are and hit points as numerous as that, it'll take a lot more than a month.
Two, they probably added all those abilities to make sure that the OP characters wouldn't be screwing with him too badly.
Three, we should be using more OP abilities in this combat. Someone should have borrowed Will's rifle.

Quote

((also what, we were all in the matrix? God damnit guys, yeah go ahead and make any char development that happened and that was planned, alongside all the plots I had planned irrelevant))

Some things will need to be lost to benefit the game. The needs of the game's funness outweigh the character development of the few.

Quote

High str, mag or mind, no problem, but dex and end are the game makers

Another thing we'll need to solve for the new version, along with how absurdly undefined combat rules and such are.

Quote from: Empiricist on May 30, 2014, 04:56:35 am

How about this? Handle plots, lore, effects, etc from their cause and not trace from effects and do so with limitations in mind?
First, get a reason for why the eldritch/infernal/divine entities that everyone and their fucking pet dogs seem to be homies with can't just dues ex machina.

They don't need to, as long as the characters themselves can do so.

Quote

Next, ground the setting in causality. If Kyle or ICARUS or HILDA want to use or make some sort of technological or magical-technological implement, don't do just let them with a roll or something. Get them to explain precisely how it works. Consult @GWG for the science involved, consult relevant lore-holders for the magic involved. If it's possible but the means isn't known, do not allow it. What precisely did Jung have to do with the actual supernatural personae? For that matter, what about Freud, who was rather close to Jung and whose theory had some points of similarities?

Works for me.
For the record, I'm willing to be fairly flexible. Although I intend to make sure that impractical things remain so without effort.

Quote

Review non-original content. This has an awfully large quantity of stuff from other sources made by other people for other settings. Do they fit? If their mechanics don't work, then figure out what alternate in-universe mechanics could let them and what new limitations are consequently formed.

*cough*Personae*cough*
Those are hardly the worst as far as game balance and such goes, but to people who don't playtheg  ames they are confusing.

Quote from: Xantalos on May 30, 2014, 05:30:14 am

Hmm. I would recommend Ross Vernal, being the only other former I know of who managed a 4000+ page monstrosity (his went somewhere around 6000 pages) but he's kinda busy.

What about piecewise? Aside from managing a multi-thread (even before getting a subforum), ~3750-page-at-this-time game, he's dealt with the problems inherent with having dozens of players, applies specific rules to the situation, and keeps supertech and such under control.
Although he's busy too.

Quote from: Empiricist on May 30, 2014, 05:39:34 am

...the only person here I would actually trust with that would be @Xantalos simply because the only stakes he has in this consists of the desire to watch it burn to ashes as opposed to having actual interests inside the game.

...
I would count that against him. Nothing personal, Xantalos, but it seems that the last person I'd want fixing my car would be someone who wanted to destroy it utterly.

Quote from: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 06:26:07 am

hmm, after some thinking, I think I may actually do have a proper explanation for the character development of ICARUS so far, in perspective to the whole matrix thing, alongside a possible redesign of ICARUS field of abilities in regards of a possible rebalancing of abilities. That is, ICARUS was not put into the matrix by the layar - she attempted to hack herself into it as part of the resistance. ICARUS will remain an electronical entity even in any reboots, so she more or less entered her mind into the matrix, as a mission to wake people inside up. The hacking process was slow, and so her mind entered the matrix gradualy, bit by bit. By now, she is still not fully inside, and thus the in-matrix ICARUS is still entirely convinced of the actualy backstory the out-matrix ICARUS made up.

when the time for the reboot comes and people are to wake up, ICARUS may very well be the one who initiates that. My plots can possibly be adjusted to fit whatever setting we are in when we wake up, but is definetly a post-layar thing.

See? With a little work, everyone's character plans can fit into the retcon.

Quote from: Kansa on May 30, 2014, 06:32:10 am

That's true enough. The one advantage it has is that it lets us keep our characters, which many of us are attached to.

Depends. Why were they invading Earth in the first place? Seems like anything they could want from Earth, they could get cheaper from asteroid-mining robots or using material mined from asteroids to make robots.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 08:23:04 am

heh, there is actually quite a bit of room for character development and interaction here. I mean, we were basicaly in an idealised matrix, where we were more powerful and talented than what is actually going on. Alice for example, would still be very much cursed when she wakes up.

edit: btw, we don't just need a setting overhaul, we could also use a system overhaul, both for combat and for magic. For starter, make mag and mind more relevant. Too much magic is still rolled on dex, and resisted with end. it's basicaly a normal attack, but with mag instead os tr to determine the damage.

secondly, magic and interactions with other magic. I think magic needs attributes associated with them, and every character, including villains, should have at least one attribute weak too, and one attribute resisted. various attributes could have side effects on their spells, various physical attacks could also have attributes.

if anyone is interested in this, I have an old system for magic attributes lying around, I could modify that for rotmg

It's not too fleshed out, but they're called Affinities and essentially work something like Creation>Void>Twilight>Creation. Attacks strong against the affinity deal x2 damage, attacks that aren't as effective deal .5x damage. I was thinking adapting the Pokemon system of type effectiveness.

I think I could make my characters adapt to such a thing as well.

Alucard in hiding, researching the void and summoning entities to do small-scale assaults on Layar bases.
Bartimaeus trapped inside an anti-void bottle, laying in the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
HILDA shapeshifting into a rock or something and entering hibernation mode.
Lizzie would probably be captured or dead.
Same with Winry.

I am thinking 4 main principles, void, creation, mind and force. Each of the principles has one pure form, and overlapping forms with whatever is not directly opposite, as well as one main element associated (cutting down from 6 elements back to just 4)

frankly because twilight hardly ever appears in the game, and seems to be something rather unique, I'm so far not really into sorting that into the system as well.

Thoughts? Tips? Help?

Spoiler: WIP opening (click to show/hide)

Setting: April 21nd, 2023 in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Friday.

You were all approached at one point or another during the week near your school or homes. A man and woman in suits, with a male scientist as well, claimed to be gathering people who fit a specific criteria for a biological study. The exact details were kept rather vague, but the general idea was that all participants would come in once a day for a week from 6 to 8pm for a series of personality, blood, and aptitude tests. For coming in the whole week, participants would receive ten thousand dollars, and their results would determine if they would be considered for future testings and studies.

The first testings would be today, and it was 5pm now, just after an early dinner. Advice from your parents/permission to go if you wanted, was all you had. It was now your decisions of whether to go, or pass on the opportunity. (You may decide as a group, or seperately to go or not.)

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

 Name: You all know this.
Gender: Male, Female, Other?
Age: Between 12 and 19 please, unless you can give a good reason or argument for lower/higher. (Changes stats slightly. -pending-)
Power: See spoiler below for information.
Stats: 30 points. (If 15 or younger, you get 1 free Dex and Mag point. If 16 or older, you get 1 free Str and End point. -A player vote against this, and I will eliminate the age bonuses-) (Base normal human stats are 28)
STR- Physical strength. Used for most Physical Actions.
END- Stamina and Resilience to Physical Attack.
DEX- Agility and Evasion. Also used for anything requiring precision.
MAG- Magical Strength. Dictates what you can do, and how much strain in puts on yourself.
MIND- Mental Capacity. Determines your control somewhat as well. (Low mind, lower control… usually)

Health- Determined by this formula. [End*5]+[Str*2]+[Character Age].
Mana- Determined by this formula. [Mind*3]+[Mag]+[Character Age / 2].

Spoiler: Powers (click to show/hide)

Power: Your Power will be determined by picking an element of some kind. This can be anything from fire, earth, and air; to plastic, wood, life, or steel maybe. The more specific your magic is, the less you can do, but the more you can manipulate it. The opposite is true for the more broad Powers. Too broad or vague will be veto-ed, as well as any power fully related to Time, Teleportation, Blood, Decay, etc. Emotion based magic is not banned, but strongly discouraged. I MAY allow one player character to have one, but don’t get your hopes set on one.

Of note also is that the opposite of your element is your weakness and will deal 1.5 times damage, rounded up. On the flip side, being hit BY your element deals only 0.5 times damage rounded up.

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Rolls will be made using a D50+appropriate stat(s) for actions, adding the appropriate stat. Any spell or manipulation of your element will require a D50 roll for effectiveness. (Mundane things such as moving some water from a source to a container, or lighting a campfire do not require a roll. Mana maybe, but not a roll.) Damage rolls will be rolled depending on both the attack used, and the element of it.

Spoiler:  Example Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Mark Dens
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Power: Heat Manipulation
Stats: 30+2 points. +1 Str, End. (Base normal human stats are 28+2)
STR- 4+1
END- 7+1
DEX- 8
MAG- 5
MIND- 6

Health- 66/66
Mana- 31/31

And I like that split for the magic types.

necromancy as in magic that summons some form of animating will into a dead body. I am counting summoning, necromancy and also golemancy in this part of magic, as it directly opposes the natural side of things, that is life and death

yeah, well, it's a draft. feel free to improve upon it until it covers as many bases as possible, and what opposes what. Then again, I'd say sending actual gods into battle would be complete creation affinity, so pure void affinity would be very effective, and void-derived magic somewhat effective

Also, Sealing Nobilisse will technically kill it, since its sustained by it's mana.

Also, Alice could die if Drakon isn't killed. Since Drakon has 65 STR...

necromancy as in magic that summons some form of animating will into a dead body. I am counting summoning, necromancy and also golemancy in this part of magic, as it directly opposes the natural side of things, that is life and death

How about we define that corner as anything that summons some kind of spirit, be it a divine avatar to answer questions, a ghost to possess a mortal, or an abstract being to animate a vessel?

GWG, does demon code prevent demons from declining a rock off?

Depends. Are there any stronger demons who would punish them for rocking off? Does the demon in question not want to rock off?

I keep getting ninja'd. Repeatedly. How nostalgic.

But yes, a changed setting would help, the unlimited resources and support we have world-wide is just ridiculous. IRIS, without any authorisation is killing and/or holding people prisoner, without a trial. At the same time, it is keeping vital technology and resource secret from the world, like the anti-magic field. Opposition would say that holding such techznology back is proof that IRIS wants to keep the monopoly on anti-magic stuff, to keep the world dependant on them. If any government could build and place such fields as they saw fit, IRIS usefulness would instantly drop to a minimum, as not only whitelisted people could do magic, and of course the government controles the list. No more magic bankrobberies, no emo teenagers magic blasting people that bully them, etc. In short, order and safety. IRIS is doing itself no favour keeping such a technology hidden.




((Also, Alice so far has been doing quite well against Drakon, and Drakon should be somewhat low health by now. 65 strength is dangerous and all, but as long as Alice is still on full health, she can handle herself. I wonder why it is attacking Alice anyway, as she is a seriously low priority target.))

anyway, before we can reboot, there are a few things to settle.

a) Which reboot plot is the acceptable one? How does that setting look like?

b) Since I am interested in Projecks plot, we need a way for Ashleys problem to fit into it

c) Balancing of system

d) Balancing of stats

e) Balancing of abilities, if possible fit into the magic system

f) Balancing of resources, but that hits into a)

It's a lockdown strategy.

Belephegor is attempting to grapple Neferis.

Ashmouth is keeping Tobias occupied.

Naberias is stunning people.

Neberius is afflicting people with miasma taint (which does 5 damage initial with +5 additional damage each turn it is not cured. standard healing does not work)

Neferes A and B keep intercepting people.

Nobillise is protecting Luthar using a barrier.

Luthar is preparing to use summon his last demon. which is why he needed his health at full.

a. I dunno. Most any would do if done right but not if done poorly. I'm helpful!
b. I suppose so.
c. Defining abilities better is a good start. Locating the abusable ones and nerfing them (say, the aforesuggested nerf on Selina's ability that she can't make enchanted items) is another.
d. Refiddling the combat system is a must.
e. See c. That's the big thing, really.
g. Not unless he's willing to GM. Cado would work, if he's willing.

Quote from: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 12:39:42 pm

Hell if I know. We might want to just torch the whole game system to the ground. I'd suggest GURPS, that being something that's very much versatile while stil being reasonably balanced, but it's also kinda complex.

P.S. Some more thoughts.

Quote from: piecewise on May 30, 2014, 11:41:38 am

Alright sounds like a bad case of dragon ball z syndrome. Somewhat inevitable in high power, long running games but here's what I'd do to reign it in.

1. If them using their powers to easily bypass mundane non-combat challenges is a problem, then take the powers away. There are a variety of ways to do that, the simplest of which is just saying "Nah bro, thats unbalanced, knock that shit off."  Alternatively give them some reason not to want to use their powers. It's magical girl shit right? Big aspect of those shows is the fact that they often have to maintain an ordinary social or school/family life while keeping their powers a secret. So make it that, in order to use their powers, they have to be very obviously transformed or that their use is extremely obvious in some other way. Make being seen using powers VERY bad for them, either in character or for the player by having their spirit effect their magic power, so becoming depressed from being socially ostracized as a magic weirdo would ruin their capacity to fight. Alternatively alternatively, make it so that they can only transform/use their powers when allowed to by an outside force. The generic "Cute animal sidekick that gave them the powers" sorta thing you see in all of those shows. Maybe he has to be around for them to do it. Because then you basically have a choke chain to pull if they're getting out of hand.  Alternatively alternatively alternatively, create situations where their powers wouldn't help. A situation where they can't magic their way out.

2.Now, the powers. These are the steps I would take. First, Scale back and narrow focus. I saw someone in that list that could turn drawings into living 3d things. That power right there? TREMENDOUSLY OP in the right hands. You don't even have to think about it very hard. So the first thing ya do is you force limits onto how it can be used. For instance, maybe force it so that the character as what amounts to a magic pen and drawing pad. The drawings only come to life when those specific items are used. And make drawing take a reasonable amount of time. Should take them at least a couple minutes to draw something, It shouldn't just be "I draw a tiger and use it to attack!" that shit should take a while. Force them to plan ahead and then do things they don't plan for. Give them Hard, Specific limits to how their powers work. The more broad and potentially op the power, the more limiting factors you need to attach to it.

Second, set up a preplanned power scale by which you can judge their magic actions and take away mana based on it. In Apotheosis I have a "force" chart which sets out the different level of power. Of course my system actually runs in reverse. You simply pay mana into an action and the mana is then rolled to see how much it effects the action. Ie, mana usage determines action force, rather then action force determining mana  use. But the principle is the same. You set up a table with levels of energy which should be expended depending on the "difficulty" of the action and then use that table to determine mana usage. If I were you I'd set it up via the degree to which it effects the world/the amount of force it produces/ matter it creates. Ie, a power that creates one, normal metal sword is fairly low energy use. But creating 20 adamantium swords should be herculean levels of effort.


Do these suggestions make sense to you?

Quote from: Toaster on May 30, 2014, 12:03:35 pm

Back on subject, making reckless use of super powers affect other players is a good balance lesson to take from ER.  Making things take time is another good one- see my character's ability in Special People.  Sure, I could summon a huge cannon that could shoot the head off a giant robot.  But it took three turns to summon and was still immobile and fragile, and ammo was a separate summon prone to failure.  Which is another balancer- if something is really strong, make it less reliable.  "Okay you can shoot a gout of flame from your hand reliably, but you can also summon a dragon to belch a massive fireball... but he doesn't listen every time."  Or make things once per encounter/day/ever powers.

Quote from: Parisbre56 on May 30, 2014, 12:34:14 pm

EDIT: Oh, and on the balancing thing, I have no idea about how that system in RotMG works. But if this is a system that uses rolls to determine stuff, then you simply have to balance two factors: versatility (how many figurative doors are opened by their ability) and what kind of bonuses to rolls those abilities provide. The bonuses are graded based on how likely they are to be useful. So if this is one of those systems where dexterity is rolled for initiative, accuracy and dodging for example, then you should obviously penalise dexterity bonuses more than other kinds of bonuses.

It involves possible world domination by simple void beings. Depending on if this is how you guys want to kick off the reboot, they will fail or succeed. Also depending on that, we'll have a new main villain in the reboot. And if the invasion succeeds for the sake of the reboot, then Earth will be occupied by said void beings which could be an interesting environment to kick off the reboot.

After so many months of lore gathering, discussions over PM and planning over planning, I'll not just drop that because your plot has a very similar ring to it. Too many players are already involved too :(

rather, any reboot should be mostly independant from any currently planned plots, as long as it does not make them entirely impossible. We shall then have a longer break from plots and fights (apart from whatever is left on the cleanup of whatever caused the reboot), so that we can finaly focus more on the rpg again. too many people dont care about combat, we really need a break from that

let's not argue about that (yet), as for now what we really need is a break from the plots. Then whomever is running the v3 will call out the next plot in line, whatever line he is calling from.






just saying that I am sitting on roughly 40 pages of notes for one prologue plot, 2 ICARUS/HILDA plots, a Bartimaeus plot, a Samson plot, 2-3 political plots, a (currently halfbaked) Kyle plot, 1-2more main plots, even a meme episode and then a finale. And that for the last two months, PrivateNomad has been sending me nearly daily PMs regarding the lore of my plotline, as appearantly the Alucard plot is intertwined into my plot. you may remember that at some point I did also try to intertwine your plot into mine, to really step up the plot game and get us away from villain of the week syndrome.


the entire thing based on the assumption that no, by that time we do not have the evil sister of the queen of the void already as a main villain. the plot order as it was in the plot order list really mattered to me. Just going "but it's out of date" will not do.

One of which is a fight scene that introduces the whole plot. I'll do as many fights as necessary until the PCs give up hope (or die) in trying to fight while the invasion is happening.

Well, it's whatever the GM feels like doing. I'd assume that whoever survives have been separated for the most part, but the people who have stuck together live together in an undefined city (probably in France) and are all really poor due to decreased jobs and such. Homeless, maybe.

Also, I'd gladly take up the job as GM (though it'd be my first time running an RP so I'll probably enlist a couple people for Co-GMs)

Still, it's an excuse to shake things up and hopefully fix them. And hopefully add in a bit more structure to the game. To me things started to go downhill when we got to the castle and it turned to eternal day without various minor events to break up the flow and provide the opportunity for people to talk/interact with each other.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 03:46:32 pm

well, time-flow in the game is a bit difficult, with different posting speeds and all.

I guess Elf and/or the GM of the current plot could occasionaly pop in and declare it noon, evening, night, morning or something. As far as shaking up goes, many of my notes are mostly plotlettes. We'll see just how much of them remain relevant depending on the new char list. Note however, shaking things up is something that players should do too. If you are bored and the GM is not throwing stuff at you, make your own to shake things up. In a game with heavy shipping, start a love triangle, cheat on someone, argue, get some drama going on - there are opportunities aplenty.

As far as the rules go, I think the rules are fine, the problem is how high our stats are. For enemies to be stronger in relation, they need to have huge stats, and these stats are starting to be too large in comparison to the actual dicethrow. The example I made with ICARUS and Luthar are a good example. ICARUS 25 dex is, on average between the PCs, rather high, and the 15 strength is slightly above average as well. For Luthars stats to matter in comparison, they need to rise into spheres where the dice rolls break to their limits, and we end up with 1.4 damage per turn against 800 health.

Basicaly, we either need lower stats, or return to the d100s. Problem with the D100s of course is that health is not properly scaled to them. With D100s, health needs to be...humm...about 25-50% higher as it is now.

that is of course, unless you are fine with less sturdy characters being suspectible to being 2-hit eveny by weaker attacks, because of the huge damage variance that comes with d100.

I am much more in favour of reducing the stats we have now. This will of course mean I will need to rebalance ICARUS ability, as lower stats means she nukes absolutely everything. I am thinking of putting a limit of how much she can actually increase them. Spending a billion mana to increase your stats to one-shot gods is fun and all, but it may be better to put an upper cap, that ICARUS can not boost above. That depends on how much our stats get reduced in the end, but I am thinking the max should be something like 3 times the original stat. so a strength of 7 could not be boosted above 21.

Of course, why would most people want to play a game like that? Unless they liked X-Men.

A. Not everyone likes godmoding. Some people like having to think.
B. It's a solution to our problems.

Quote from: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 01:58:11 pm

also, when has Sen ever been OP? I only ever saw her use her rather useless paper stuff, and never any other spell at all.

She's used all sorts of other spells, regardless of if you've noticed. Teleports, usually, but also other spells as needed.

---

So. System. It seems like the right system might help solve our balance problems. Here are some options I've thought of:

0. Keep what we have.
Should be easy to figure out.
Downsides: Do you really want me to list them all?
Upsides: Simple.

1. GURPS
Self-explanatory. We convert our characters to the GURPS rule system and play using that.
I think this link gives you a PDF of the first rulebook (http://file:///C:/users/timoth~1.fll/appdata/local/temp/dbxllpb6dq.html#) (aka the one that matters).
Downsides: It's complicated. Some more unusual abilities may be hard to translate to GURPS (though they're mostly the OP ones). Will take work. May discourage new players.
Upsides: May discourage new players. I understand the rules well enough to be willing to put together sheets for people. It's flexible and more balanced than any other system we're likely to find. Abilities are well-defined.

2. GURPS Hybrid
We use GURPS to define our abilities and play the game in some other way. (I used this system in one of my previous games. I wish I had planned the metaplot less and the plot more...)
Downsides: Still complicated. Still takes some work. Not all abilities translate well to our current system, notably attacks and leveled traits.
Upsides: Simpler than pure GURPS while retaining some of the balance.

3. RtD
We use the Roll to Dodge system.
Downsides: Vague and doesn't address balance. Requires scrapping current statistics &c.
Upsides: Simple.

4. ER
We use piecewise's modified Roll to Dodge system.
Downsides: See RtD. Overshots more likely.
Upsides: Allows more complexity than basic RtD without making it a lot more complex.

Any other suggestions or should I take these five and turn them into a strawpoll?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 03:50:59 pm

I point to my above post. System we have works, it's just the numbers that still need to be teaked to optimum. RTD is, simply put, a horrible idea. And Gurps, is so much work to figure out and get actually flowing

also, without a proper stat-referance for bossfights, gurps will indoubtetly cause grave balancing mistakes

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on May 30, 2014, 03:58:34 pm

I disagree. If we were 100% mundane? Sure. But our current system doesn't really help us any with having halfway balanced abilities, which are a major part of the current problems. And we don't have to fish for and test numbers endlessly. Not to mention that I'd be willing to handle the tough bits.

And I'd love to hear your logic for how GURPS bosses would have "grave balancing mistakes," let alone ones comparable to the current ones.

How about this? Don't reboot or timeskip anything. That doesn't fix the issue, all it does is delay it. I suggest that the recommendations quoted by @GWG are implemented, blame all the previous OP crap on some sort of rare magic fluctuation or something that briefly strengthened magic. Ground the floaty conspiracy bullshit into realistic proportions so that they can get fucked over, ground the tech in realism and ground the magic in lore.

Thoughts that come to mind:
Anima/Personae: Just make them pop in during their use and perform that ability and pop back out. Sort of like theurgy rather than summoning.
Void: Actually use MND for teleportation! They need to target their teleport, they can't just take a straight up magic roll!
Conspiracies: Find out how they get all their resources, influence, equipment, funding and power. In realistic terms.
Technology: Base it off of proper scientific, engineering and programming principles, if you can't, use magic that can explain the issues and acknowledge that it isn't pure technology.
Cosmic/Divine/Infernal Entities: Give them a reason to not give a damn.
The Supernatural in General: WHY THE FUCK DID THEY JUST POP UP NOW? You need a reason, as Version 1 noted that people with magic weren't even needed until the Layar war. So why did every supernatural threat just wait patiently until now to attack?

Even if you kill everyone off and timeskip to a demon/void/whothefuckcares -controlled world, if you don't fix the issues then chances are, you'll inevitably end up back in this predicament.

For starters, account for the Layar. They invaded Earth for resources. They were defeated. They still need the resources though. I don't think they'll take too kindly to other entities trying to take over Earth if it removes the possibility of trade.

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 05:26:00 pm

the timeskip and stuff being put into a more balanced order are not mutualy exclusive. People seem interested in the timeskip, and hey, why not. Interaction between characters might have run a bit dry, and a few years of people being apart and doing their own thing might be very fertile ground to get going again.


I for one, will make ICARUS face the consequences of Riyadh. With cellphone cameras everywhere, the ICARUS project was doomed to fall into discredit, firstly because their very existance violates international weapon law, and secondly because, well, terrorism. The ICARUS-models get confiscated, and ICARUS, in a less attention drawing body (http://img.booru.org/grognard//images/3/6cbc772d096f4183626adca1f5b8646f836b3e6e.jpg) lays low. Possibly alongside Alice, who would likely have no problem getting a magic license for the vetenarian stuff, or maybe without her, to make sure that she is not put in danger for hiding a rogue AI/Terrorist.

Post by: Akroma on May 30, 2014, 05:38:16 pm

I'd guess in a non-ICARUS body, ICARUS would focus more on her computer affinity, maybe pick up hacking. In the future, computers will be in everything anyway, and being an electronic entity, that should come by easily. Her return to stat-increasing combat goodness will wait until the ICARUS plot comes up, until then, robots are still faster, stronger and more durable than the average human.

Not necessarily, you don't need an entire computer in everything, electronics perhaps, but it's awfully difficult to hack something with no connections without being noticed. Plus I'd imagine that ICARUS' own code is vastly different than the code and language you'd use to say, run a MySQL server, seeing as her code was designed for making AI, not ebay. Though if she is familiar with her own code, she may be able to pick up the more general aspects of programming.

she is a fast learner, but hey, I am not saying she is going to go full on technomancy on things. More like some underground rebelling, mixed with small scale vigilantism. Having a backdoor into security cameras helps when you need to bash in some criminals head (it's the purpose of her existance, as if she would ever stop doing that) while also trying to not be noticed.

Um, aren't most security cameras connected to computers that aren't connected to anything else? May be hard to get a backdoor in with popure hacking. Some social engineering to trick someone into exposing that computer to something perhaps, but then again, she may as well just disable the camera manually via physical force. Or you know, just wear something to conceal her appearance.

come on now emp, there is a difference between stuff being overpowered and stuff just taking a bit of creative license to not leave the character entirely powerless.


the technology issue was more of a thing of Kyle building half a dozen rockets in 3 hours, or ICARUS constructing a dozen anti-demon weapons in a nanite-forge. Not hacking into a security system remotely.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on May 30, 2014, 06:09:09 pm

I'm sure whatever magic ICARUS was built with would let her, but I wouldn't really call it hacking. Hacking isn't really something you can do on the fly.

Some sort of nanite spray? Could work, likely magical. Electromagnetic Pulse? Possible, would actually damage the camera though rather than temporarily disabling it, likely magical unless ICARUS has a few high-altitude nukes handy. Minor technomancy? Definitely.

But really, if you just want to render cameras unable to identify her, a simpler solution such as feature-concealing clothing or just knocking down the camera from afar could work just as well.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

that was just an example. More like "insert part of own mind remotely into thing and fuck with it". Within the limit of that things electronical functions, obviously. Unlock a car? Check. Fuck with radio, navigation and the gizmos? Sure. Possibly remote-start the airbag? With a proper roll, may be possible. Actually remote controle the thing to drive? Can#t do that...unless we are far enough in the future for that to work.


See through a remote camera? Sure. Blur it, or simply turn it away, obviously. Trace the cameras signal to the data storage and delete the archive? Probably. Live-photoshop every frame so one person looks like someone else? Hah, now that would be some seeerious high end shit

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

Unlock a car? It's called breaking in and hot wiring.
Fuck with radio? Probably not actually hacking.
Remote start an air bag? Not sure if you can even hack the accelerometer that controls it. After all hacking is what you do to a computer system or network.

This is sounding less like hacking and more like Hollywood magic with a dash of that Watch Dogs stuff.

Well, there is the thing of the on-board computer having no wireless access. Oh wait, Some cars have built in GPS (which needs to update somehow or bring up the location.) which means wireless hacking.

I don't think you could access any of the car's functions through the GPS function. It's not connected to anything except the GPS and direction-giving functions. Not that there are many computer-controlled functions in the first place.

Which is, like, a majority of hacking. Well, except for the really shitty city planning, but my point still stands. It's way easier to exploit backdoors than actually crack passwords and things like that.

Any plan that requires your opponent to have made a critical mistake is a bad plan. Therefore, backdoors one should expect to be exploitable should be ones that aren't quite so stupid.

I dunno, as we were technicaly hoping to power the PCs down a bit to a more managable level. But I suppose since Kyle *is* going into hiding, building some sort of flying base of operations may be feasible.




as far as the hacking goes, this is a game of superpowers, a bit of artistic license can be taken to make it a bit less based in realism, and a bit more in rpg. After all, ICARUS is an electronic entity, which does not actually enter lines of code into things. It's really more like...extending your arm and grabbing the thing, taking controle (her real arm, not the robot arm) Also hey, if this plays about 5 years in the future, there's probably a whole lot more computering going on as it is today.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on May 31, 2014, 04:34:28 am

More computers doesn't mean that security measures get that lax and allowing people to take these breaks form reality is what caused some of these issues in the first place. If your argument is simply that there will probably be more computing in the future, than that raises even more issues considering that you'll be giving her additional abilities over what you estimate to be significant portion of infrastructure. In addition to having her regain her current ability set.

Certain breaks were disallowed, a while back that was the precedent set when there were talks about whether or not a vaguely C-like language could create a 'strong' AI. Being able to hack into things remotely like that has implications, especially for electronic warfare and whatnot, something that the world may be moving towards if that whole US-China corporate espionage issue that happened recently serves as any indication.

You do not cure cancer via chainsaw vivisection. Likewise, you shouldn't be able to rapidly access and manipulate electronic infrastructure remotely without any sort of connection.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 04:48:36 am

again, this is a game based on superpowers. There is nothing at all mundane about the way ICARUS would access things. Unless you are going to be the one GMing the game turning it into a d20 modern, I repeat, a bit of leave above reality is not entirely unintended

I understand that, however, you have yet to provide any explanation that makes any sense. Your explanations thus far, radio waves, backdoors, etc. do not work in the way you intend for them to. You still have failed to address the issue of balance and you have forgotten a crucial detail: if people can hack in that way, then what's to prevent an antagonist form just hacking into ICARUS and deleting everything she has?

If someone can simply hack without any connections, then ICARUS' secure server is no longer secure. If your analogy of extending part of herself stands, then she's also exposing herself to whatever dwells within those systems, not exactly a good prospect, especially when this interpretation of hacking that you subscribe to seems to ignore limitations including the ones that would normally protect her.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on May 31, 2014, 05:01:28 am

Allow me to clarify, I am opposed to the idea as a whole, but the only real point of contention that I care enough to debate is the absurd pretense that it is hacking and not something that is, at least in part, fueled by something supernatural. A semantic argument.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 05:15:01 am

thing is, they can't. ICARUS is still one of a kind. Note that it was not coding stuff, but Kyles divine granted fertility which brought life to the code. It's really getting into technicalities, but rather than an AI, ICARUS is more some sort of code-elemental. A computer spirit. A kind of supernatural being that is new to the world, as during previous magic cycles (it seems in this setting, magic comes and goes in irregular intervals) did not exist, because back then, there was no computers. It's the supernatural entering the cyber age. Note GWGs dragon lore, this cycle includes a form of dragon particularly affine to technology. The supernatural is not on a standstill, and not every super natural being is actually something ancient. There's for example monsters that are a result of massive pollution, that too are a result of the modern age. Likewise nowadays traditional supernatural things have not always been there, but at some point, came into existance. Werewolves? Quite certainly not something that was around before mankind and wolf, and even then, probably only happened once they started interacting closer with eachother, like through dog domestication. Leprecauns? Man, I wonder what they did before gold became valuable and pots were a thing. Did faries exist before butterfly wings were invented, or forests? What about these japanese Umbrella monsters?


Hacking is just semantics, if you prefer, call it hack-o-mancing. The result of the supernatural adapting to the changes of the world.




As far as the server goes, I will probably ditch that anway. If we are to make the game more difficult, there should not be death contingencies.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on May 31, 2014, 05:18:16 am

Semantics is really all that matters in this case. After all, if she's just some sort of code elemental using hack-o-mancy or somesuch, that prevents people just having their characters learn how to "hack" and replicating the same thing.

After all, what poses a threat to balance is not necessarily what people have, but what they can gain. Not what is bound to what is one's soul but rather what one may become bind to one's mind.

---

Personally, I believe that skill-wise, a character should have as many skills as they want, no arbitrary maximum number or anything. But those skills must have limits. I propose the following three limits to all non-supernatural skills:
-Reality
-How much the player knows about it
-How much the player is willing to research it
That is, ground 'mundane skills' in realism to prevent abuse, but allow people to be skilled in it. If they can provide evidence as to whether a use of that skill is possible, then let them. If they have their character learn something new behind the scenes with a few mentions, go ahead. As long as they do not make breaks from reality, after all, their ability is their magic, NOT that skill, so there should be no need to turn the skill into some sort of pseudo-magic.

not all that much bullshit. For the foreseeable future, plots will be handled by Projeck and Me for the most part. All that the GM really does is look through and approve things ((I guess before the reboot, everyone would have to fill a new, more detailed character sheet explaining stuff)), settle arguements and answer questions regarding the setting when they are not answerable by the plot-GMs

well, only of some players. Mostly, I'd say that Dex is simple *way* to useful, as it is used to both aim physical and magical attack, and dodge physical and magical attacks, followed by Endurance, which gives you tons of health, and also reduces the damage from physical attack and of magical attacks. Mind is literaly just used to resist various status effects, while str and mag do nothing at all except determine the damage you deal

though it only gets problematic when the stats become rather large compared to the d50 we roll on, as it drives stuff to absurdity. What we really need is reduced stats, so that enemies no longer need gamebreakingly huge stats and still be stronger than us.

yeah, rules would be very good. So far only ICARUS statboost and Samsons ability really have numbers attached to the in regard to the effect.

The Valve solution isn't going to work here.

We could always take RC's advice and create a new generation of characters, which will let us change the stat sheets up.

Maybe split up some of DEX's magic bonuses into the less used stats? Magic aiming could fall under MAG or Mind.

Otherwise yes, just reduce the starting stats, and reduce the speed of stat increase.

well, lets get back on track

a) Which reboot plot is the acceptable one? How does that setting look like?
b) Since I am interested in Projecks plot, we need a way for Ashleys problem to fit into it
c) Balancing of system
d) Balancing of stats
e) Balancing of abilities, if possible fit into the magic system
f) Balancing of resources, but that hits into a)
g) Who GMs the v3. Do we stick with Elf?


I believe we have settled for a) Timeskip 5 years into the future. After the legal trouble for IRIS, characters split up, laid low, are possibly hiding from legal consequences, and generaly do their own thing. In this case, b) is also already settled, via projeck over PM.

do we get to C now, or does A still need ironing out? For instance, how strict magic laws are, how common anti-magic measures have become, and generaly the standing of mages, especialy non-humans in society?

hmm, C and D are directly tied together.


let's start with the first point, how many stats are there, and what do they do?


do new stats get added?


how big of a statpool do the players have?


which size of dice would fit best to these total, making stats relevant, but also keeping the diceroll relevant?


What would be the average damage dealt by an average fighter, because this is what we need to scale the healthpool to - this is basicaly where we decide how lethal the game is, but also how long combat takes.


How much do spells cost, in relation to their damage, and how much should be castable by the player until he runs dry - this is what the manapool scales to

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: smurfingtonthethird on May 31, 2014, 08:21:52 am

A) still needs to be ironed out a little, especially the social standing of mages and non-humans by that time. 5 years is a good nugget of time though, so people shouldn't be too magisist. Emphasis on too.

For CD, we should keep similar stats, but maybe integrate some parts of DEX and END into other skills, without making them OP too. Adding more new stats will just add to the less used clutter, unless there's a stat for everything.

Statpool should be kept as small as possible, otherwise stat increase will have to be fairly slow.

idea: a split like in the fire emblem threads:


Health - a singular stat, it determines how healthy you are


Speed - your dodginess, dodges both physical and magical attacks. Possible bonus: if your speed is twice as high as the enemies, attack twice.


Skill - your hittiness. No more one stat for both hitting and dodging. This determines how good your aim is, how good you are figuring out when and where to strike, aims both magic missiles and physical attacks. Possible bonus: if your Skill is twice as high as the enemies, you gain a 20% chance for a critical hit, as opposed to the usual 5%  (20 on d20 to roll for a critical hit, double damage, hurrah)(assuming critical hits are a thing.


Magic - how powerful and damaging your magic is. Possible bonus: If your mag is twice as high as the enemies resistance, your damage is increased by 2 before the absorb roll


Strength - how powerful and damaging your muscles are. Possible bonus: As above.


Defence - how good you are at taking hits, reduces damage and effects from physical attacks. Possible bonus: If your defence is twice as high as the enemies strength, their damage is automaticaly reduced by 2, before the actual reduction roll


Resistance - how good you are at restisting magic, reduces damage and effects from magical attack. Bonus as with defence for magic


Mind - determines how good you are figuring things out, manipulating people and complex things. Possible bonus: I have no idea


that's 8 stats. Roll is made on the stat ,  so if you have, for example, 5 in skill, you roll a d5, to hit against the enemies 7 in speed. If you hit succesfully, you roll your strength, which is reduced by the enemies defence, lets say you have 6 strength, enemy has 6 defence, so on average 3 damage. I'd say healthpool should be 5xPoints put in health in such a case.


setting human average to an arbitrarily decided 5, that would be 40 statpoints to be distributed by a normal person. It remains to you guys to decide what kind of statpool would be fitting for us, how fats they increase etc. That stats are now rolled on purely, rather than adding them to a dice entirely removes the problem that either the dice is so high that the stats dont matter, or the stats so high that the dice dont matter entirely.

unless someone has special equipment, it does not matter for the rolls if you are punching someone, stabbing someone or shooting someone. Only special loots can give an effective bonus. A silver sword might deal double damage to demons etc, while a masterwork sword of legend and whatnot might give you a +2 on damage, and/or +1 to skill etc. Kyles armor for example might increase damage reduction by 1 (which alongside his damage reduction perk, which will remain as it is, makes him super tanky)

Personally I'm against these two changes, only because I feel like it'd make physical attacks more useful than they already are. DEX still increases your accuracy and evasion, while STR increases your damage and your health. For people who want to do magical attacks they've got to invest points in three skills to get just as powerful/useful. MAG for hit/damage, DEX for evasion and END for the health/tankiness. Admittedly it's probably not too bad, but still something to consider.

Personally I'd make the stats more fair but blander by dividing stuff up and adding a couple more skills. So you'd have:

HEALTH: Increases your HP plain and simple.
MANA: Increases your mana. Just as easy.
STRENGTH: Increases physical damage.
ENDURANCE: Increases physical defense.
MAGIC: Increases magical damage.
MIND: Increases magical defense.
ACCURACY: Your chance to hit.
EVASION: Your chance to dodge.

...

Seeing as that was what I was just about to propose, I'd agree to the above. And for mana I'd have a mana stat or something similar to give you a couple points of mana. But basic magic attacks don't use mana at all. Instead you use mana whenever you want to beat something up badly. So attacking multiple enemies, dealing large amounts of damage, or definitely hitting your target would use a point of mana or so. I'd be balanced since you have to invest some of your stats into it, making you slightly weaker overall, and mana would be hard to recover, so you have to manage it properly. _{Or save it all to blow the bosses out of the water when you meet them.}

Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 09:37:54 am

hmm, that might balance out that equipment that actually increases your magical damage would be very hard to come by, if at all, while physical damage can be enhanced quite easily. I am okay with that.




question is, how much do we stand above the average human?


The average human has what, a statpool of 45 with the mana stat.


do we just return to the stats we have right now, which is around 80 after previous level up, putting us at around 9 on average in stats, so in a clash against a perfectly average human, we have a very clear advantage.


Enemies with a huge singular stat still have a large advantage, but not nearly as large as it is now. Also, as they can not cover all bases so easily anymore, they usualy would have a weakness.


Problems may occur when someone has huge speed, skill and strength at the same time. with dual attack and crit chance, squishy targets may be down rather quickly.


Example:


Joe Squishmage
6 in health -30 HP
6 in speed
8 in skill
12 in mag
6 in strength
12 in res
12 in mana - 60 mana
6 in defence


now if some huge fuck-you enemy comes around with 12 in speed (and thus dual attacks), and 12 in strength (+2 damage), lets see


Assuming fuck-you enemy hit, he rolls an average of 6 in strength, enemy rolls and average on 3 in defence, +2 from the strength bonus, times two for an average of 10 damage in a round, assuming no crits, but could, theorethicaly on good rolls deal 28 damage in one round, still assuming no crits.


that is a bit close to comfort, but then again, the mage *is* squishy* and the enemy *is* specialised in fucking over squishies. And if the fuck-you enemy does not deal enough damage bam, he gets mago blasted to fuck.


it's a rather deadly combat system, that can quickly go very good or very bad. Also, it's very deadly in long encounters, where you can't retreat between battles to heal.




I am for it, I prefer short battles. Though I guess some healing items might be good. Someone on zero health is for starters, unconscious and likely bleeding. If another players provides quick CPR and first aid, that character will likely survive, however, is out of the fight. If health gets reduced a hefty chunk below zero, insta death

that system seems stable enough for a playtest at least

hmm, problem may lay with mana. how much mana can be used to deal how much more damage? I mean, boss enemies are likely to have some good amount of mana, and if they can just blast a dangerous players or two to smithereens instantly...

No idea, honestly. I was thinking about keeping the amount of mana low though, so you'd only get a point or two of mana for each point you put in the stat. That way you could limit people to using only one point of mana per turn while still doing 2x damage or something. Emphasis on something, I'm still not entirely certain about how it'd work specifically myself.

That sounds stupid. It's still going to cause people to use those stats over all else and and the only difference is them have less points in the long run for it.

Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 10:13:56 am

without a d50 to be added to your damage relevant stats, just taking those two will mean you will deal no damage whatsoever. this system is NOT more complicated, it is more simple. Each stat has just one use, and the lack of adding dice to them that stand in no balance whatsoever to what is going on only makes it more silly. Just look at the math I did regarding Luthar. It would take 40 turns to kill him, plus 10-ish turns to kill his demons. Look at the past turns, we are losing already - we simply can not play out 50 turns - which would also take like 2 months. That's not balanced at all. None of the numbers stand in relation to eachother whatsoever

edit: also the new system is less mah intensive, allowing for smoother turns

editedit: also, it's harder to minmax. Whatever you focus on, one field has to suffer, and it not being there does actually hinder you.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 10:35:43 am

they can try to minmax, but at least now you can't minmax with just 1-2 stats. Everything has drawbacks for being low


No health? No need to explain why this is bad
No mana? Having mana is so useful that not having any left is very disadvantageous
No Speed? get hit lots
No Skill? Don't hit shit
No Mag? Your powers will be weaksauce
No Strength? Your attacks will be weaksauce - and when mana runs out....
No Defence? Take tons of damage.
No Resistance? Also take tons of damage.
No Mind? Well, I guess this one is a bit less important, yes




as it is now?


No Strength? You deal d50 damage anyway, Str is just a small bonus
No Mag? Bitch, you can basicaly choose wether your powers take mag or mind during char creation anyway, pick your fill.
No Mind? Well, you get your powers from mag then, and since you can just dodge fireballs with dex just fine...
No Endurance? Dex will handle it.
No dex? You are fucked




with the old system you just need *one* stat to be effective, it covers all bases, and the d50 covers all others.


with the new system, without the dice, there is no singular stat that can keep you safe and effective at the same time. People can still try to minmax, no system is safe from players who intend to exploit it - but it is a lot harder to do so with this system.


Anyway, minmax is really not the point, the point is that in the current system, the stat-numbers, the dice, and the size of mana and healthpool are all set in arbitrary sizes, none set with the other in mind. It's unbalanced. to a degree where stuff like Luthar taking 50 turns to kill is easily done.

Yes people will minmax their stats. That's a fact of playing RPGs since people like to feel powerful/useful. But the old system was definitely too big on the max and small on the min. It was way too easy to create untouchable characters that would take turns to kill. Now you actually have to make decisions when minmaxing, since all of the stats are more equally useful. If you want to be more tanky something else has to suffer, and that's perfectly fine.

before we can get to the next point - going through the abilities of our characters, fit them into the system, and give them clear limits as to what they can do and what not




edit: also kyle, no reason? You might not feel like the system needed fixing, but everyone else did. Again, as GWG said, it's a majority thing.

Post by: USEC_OFFICER on May 31, 2014, 11:02:12 am

It depends on how much it costs to use the abilities based off of the mana pool, obviously. If it's just 1 point for each of them then the pool should be small. If the cost is larger, 1~3 then the pool needs to be bigger. Personally I'm still thinking that part over, so I have no idea right now.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

Post by: USEC_OFFICER on May 31, 2014, 03:02:35 pm

With the mana system we have I feel like we have the potential for a lot of creativity and fun stuff. So instead of forcing people to only doing certain things with mana I'd rather provide a list of generic spells/commands/whatever, and at character creation let people pick which ones they want as well as letting them make up their own (within reason of course). The generic mana boosted things would provide a framework for the power/costs of the custom commands, and so hopefully they won't be so OP with everyone scrutinizing characters more.

So the generic list of commands would be something like:

Alert (1): Guaranteed to dodge the next attack aimed at you.
Strike (2): Will automatically hit with your next attack.
Valour (3): Deal double damage before defense is applied.
Guts (2): Heal half of your HP.

etc. etc. While custom commands would be like:

Summon Minor X (2): Summon a minor ally to help you.
Overcharge (2): Increase your evasion by some amount until the start of your next turn.
Daunt (5): Reduce enemy defenses by half until the end of your next turn.

So... If 5 is the average per stat then I think that you should get 2 points of mana per point in the appropriate stat. That's probably a bit too generous with the mana, though that depends on how quickly it regens and how long dungeons are.

Still thinking about the specifics/affinities of the magic system though.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 03:15:46 pm

Let's see for an example character. After running a few mathatons, I'm upping health to 6 hp per point, and mana gets 2 points per point of mana.


As for uses of abilities, I am proposing to sort them into negliable, small, medium and big. Negliable uses are mostly flavours, like Nuriel stylishly igniting a cigarette would certainly cost no mana, but also standard magical attacks during combat. Small tasks cost 1 mana, and require no roll. Medium tasks need to roll at least a 3 to be succesful, or have a small drawback, and cost 2 mana. Big tasks need to roll at least a 6 to succeed, or a 3 and have a small drawback, or no roll but at a bigger drawback, and cost 3 mana, and require at least a mag of 9. Even bigger feats of magic become avaiable with a mag stat of 12 and 15, and progress similarly. Each character sheet should provide examples of what magnitude we are talking about in each class, and the GM should look over that carefully. In terms of damage, a neglieable mag attack just rolls with mag as damage, then mag*2, mag*3 etc, or increase number of targets an AoE can cover etc etc.

example drawbacks could be an attack dealing a bit (a d3 for small, d6 for medium?) damage to the caster, the caster being immobile (gets auto hit) while casting, a turn of charging, higher mana costs etc. It provides ample amount to differentiate characters from eachother.

I am thinking, if you guys think it might be a good idea, of allowing the addition of extra drawbacks to a spell to reduce mana costs.

anyway, here's an example character

Icarus (Independant Comabd And Rescue Utility System)

[backstory here once I get to writing the thing]

Stats (80)

Health: 10 - 60 HitPoints
Mana: 9 - 18 Mana
Speed: 13 (14)
Skill: 12
Strength: 9
Mag: 9
Defence: 12
Resistance: 6

Perk (I guess they carry over): Brisk - Speed roll is increased by +1

Ability: Overdrive. Icarus sends energy into her systems to for a short time, greatly increase her combat abilities. Not all stats can be buffed, details in backstory. Because her current body (http://img.booru.org/grognard//images/3/6cbc772d096f4183626adca1f5b8646f836b3e6e.jpg) (any ideas for names?) is not the high tech military hardware she used to pilot, her abilities are currently locked at minor acts, until the ICARUS-05 (medium) and/or the HYDRA-01 (big) have been attained

Negliable: Sensors. Unless whatever Icarus is scanning is actively shielded against scans, her Sensors can gather a large amount of information hidden to the naked eye. [locked]: Flight.

Small: Doubling of a single stat, increase by 1.5 of two stats. (TN: No roll, cost 1 mana)

Medium: Tripling of a single stat, doubling of two stats, increase by 1.5 of 3 stats (TN:3, cost 2 mana)

Big: etc (TN:3, minor drawback - deals d3 damage to body, cost 3 mana)

higher levels will be statted when they become avaiable.

This is an example of the magic system I propose, and the way Icarus for example would be using it. As for affinities, someone else should think that up, as unless Icaurs is equipped with special ammo or weaponry, her damage is just plain old physical damage. The current body is still weak to lightning, but is not fire resistant, with all the latex skin and all. The ICARUS-05, as we have it, lightning weak, fire resistant. The HYDRA-01, when we ever get to that, fire resistant, weak to the divine.

Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 03:34:51 pm

yes for the affinites. we may or may not implement them. if we find no proper system, no need to implement such a thing, I think as we are, the system seems solid enough.


anyway, for big magical tasks, you first need a roll to see if you can even pull it off. For that you need to roll either a 6 on mag, or a 3 but at a minor drawback


then, if it is just something that requires aiming, there is still a skill vs speed roll to see if whatever you are blasting at might manage to dodge - the fiery explosion happens even if dodged, might hit something else or whatever. if your magic is something that can't be dodged, well, no further rolls needed I guess. Can't really dodge, dunno, gravity being reversed. There may be an additional mag vs resistance roll if it is something that can not be dodged, but resisted, like mind controle

As for magic, non-negliable attacks deals mag*2 damage etc, so magic does not have that problem

Also hey, if this plays about 5 years in the future, there's probably a whole lot more computering going on as it is today.

Absence of computers isn't the problem. The problem is access. You can't hack a computer that doesn't even have any connections to computers outside its own motherboard. And for most of these things, connecting to outside sources gives no benefit; it's less like a backdoor and more like the people designing the computers knocking down a wall.

not all that much bullshit. For the foreseeable future, plots will be handled by Projeck and Me for the most part. All that the GM really does is look through and approve things ((I guess before the reboot, everyone would have to fill a new, more detailed character sheet explaining stuff)), settle arguements and answer questions regarding the setting when they are not answerable by the plot-GMs

Isn't the absence of any strong central authority part of what got us here? We don't want to replace one rope of sand with a slightly more active one.

Quote from: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 08:27:01 am

well, I'd say that mag should be used to roll magical attacks, not dex. Endurance should give you less health, while strength factors a bit more into health.

anyway, looked over gurps, and gurps seems to entirely lack any magic related stats. Meh. For a game with magic in the title, that is a bad start

So?
Magic has no single stat because there is no single "magic". IQ is used for (mechanically¹) wizards, along with FP, magery level, possibly some kind of spell talent², how many points you sink into various spells, and any other related advantages. Psions (of the mechanical variety¹) have the level of their Psi Talent and how many psionic abilities they buy. Stuff like that. If you want to be better at magic, put more points in magic-related stuff.

1: I mean in the mechanics of the game. The rules for psions work as well for sorcerers, for instance.
2: By rules-as-written, the legality of having the Talent apply to spells or subsets thereof is questionable, but between simple houserules and the fact that Magery provides the same boost to magic skills this isn't a problem.

Quote from: kj1225 on May 31, 2014, 10:03:33 am

No. I don't want a new system. It seems like the big problem was people not actually using the stats right for some odd reason. We don't need this overly complicated system.

We get it. You hate change. Change killed your favorite grandmother. The fucked-up game is ay-oh-friggin-kay in kj's book. The fact that no one knows how it's supposed to work, or how horribly unbalanced it is, or how easy it is to accidentally make indestructible bosses or impotent characters? Apparently not problems.

Quote from: kj1225 on May 31, 2014, 10:23:45 am

You act like no one will try to minmax their stats anyways. It's a symptom of playing games where you can control your stats. It doesn't matter if the game suddenly has more focused stats.

Actually, it does.
Split the One Stat that Rules Them All into multiple stats, and you'll need to pay extra to get bonus accuracy, dodging, and thievery. Keep it together, and people who want to make sharpshooters, acrobats, or lovable rogues will end up with unbalanced characters through no fault or intention of their own, while clumsy oafs (oaves?) and mobile statues are impotent.

Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 04:09:50 pm

stop trying to fix the system by refusing to admit that it needs fixing. Luthar is a prime example why the current system does not work. The stat-split deals with important measures. A) the game is too focused on dex. Splitting dex into two seperate stats makes it less game central and b) endurance givng both health *and* damage reduction makes you nearly invincible. Endurance has already been nerfed once, by making damage roll str +d50 vs just end, instead of end+d50. still, just pump endurance high enough and you have luthar, with 800 health, who takes on average 1 damage per turn


as for how high health actually is, the number is in no actual relation to any of the stats, or how much damage is usualy dealt. it's more or less decided arbitrary. Same for mana, which was never in any way outfitted with numbers regarding how much it actually does in damage


as for your poll, it was done before I suggested the current system, with new stats, and a different dice model. current thing that needs balancing: with straight str vs defence or straight mag vs resistance rolls, there is a big chance of many attacks doing no damage whatsovever, especialy the physical ones, as you can always spend more mana to make a hotter flame, but unless that is your ability, mana can't boost your muscles.

I have suggested that equipment gets a fixed amount of bonus on the str roll (dragon claws and similar counting as equipment in this sense), so physical attacks have a very average, if somewhat low damage, while magic attacks have lots of burst damage, but of course you run out of mana eventually

Because their calculations were not balanced compared to the different stats and the damage we could put out? Because we had so much mana nobody bother tracking it or worrying about running out?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 04:34:17 pm

because everyone except you finds the system unbalanced and wants change. Getting rules and abilities balanced seems to be a much more pressing change than the setting


also, you don't have much of a point. You just keep going on and on and on how good the current system is and how that needs no changes whatsoever to the point where you may ragequit if we dare change it, but fully ignore the Luthar example. And he is not even the final boss.


in a system where it takes 50 turns to kill a boss, and where it takes 1-3 days to geta turn out, that however is primarily based on players interaction outside of combat (you may notice people are losing interest in the game left and right, because the combat does not interest them. If the battle lasts another 2 MONTHS the game will be dead. done. This should not happen again, and frankly, it's not Sanures or Elf fault, it's the system that simply can not handle big stats


on a side note with me, usec, cado, kansa, PN (over PM) and maybe GWG, Sanure and Projeck once they comment on the system, there is an overwhelming majority of players who seem to think this is a good idea. No, we will not all just simply listen to you because you love the old system so much.




and now, back on topic, what Usec adressed matters, we need to make sure not too many turns actually are damage less. what kinda of average damage boost should standard-weaponry bring?

Because it's easier to fit them into a new system rather than shoehorning the old health-and-mana into the new one? Aside from all the issues with the system itself, of course.


Remind me, what exactly is this "new system" everyone's going on about? There's so many scattered posts filled with commentary and changes that I kinda lost track.

Post by: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 04:51:33 pm

the problem is with endurance also increasing health, it snowballs quite heavily. Not only do you get more health, you also take less and less damage. In the end the growth is not linear. towards very high endurance, enemies do so little damage, that they'd have trouble defeating you even if you only had 200 health, but nope, you have 800. The opposition of endurance, strength does not scale to fit it, as all it does is increase base damage to get over your damage reduction so it can deal damage, but while the damage-damage reduction parts stay in the same relation, the health increases outside of that relation. on early levels, enemies where the attacker has the same amount of endurance the defender has will take like 5 attacks to kill the defender, but as the stats grow, both still have equal strength and defence, the number of attacks needed increases, as health increases.


Luthar is the best example. Even if we had someone with 50 strength to damage the guy, he could only, on average, deal 25 damage per attack, needing 16 attacks to deal with luthar (assuming all of these attacks hit, his 25 dex also plays a role her. with half of the attacks missing, that's already 32 attacks needed, and that is for someone with a *ridiculous* amount of strength.




endurance snowballs too much

Heh, a character can, but they'll still have to RP it, hence my statement about requiring knowledge and/or research. If the player can't pull off any brilliant tactics, then neither can their character. If the player doesn't know the process of hacking, their character can not. Simple as that, no mechanical representation, just pure RP dictated by realism to prevent abuse.

A shorter list of stats makes things even more minmaxy, and more importantly, makes the characters less differentiated. if we only had 3 stats, dex, physical and magical, we would basicaly only have 3 characters, stat-wise. having 8 stats gives more diversity, and gives each PC and each villain their own fields they excell in and they suck in, in many combinations

my suggestion is that the quality of armaments, whatever they may be, grants a bonus to the damage roll, so that damage will almost always, unless the rolls are very unlucky or someone has very high defence, the damage will out-do the damage absorption. unless there are different ideas, or suggestions regarding what levels of quality there are and how much damage they deal, I will think about that and put it out in the full post tomorrow

But mana is energy. What's stopping it from being physical if it can affect the world around people in somewhat different circumstances. It would also allow interesting theories. Like, maybe when people are under the influence of things they expend their natural mana which would explain why people in an altered state can achieve greater achievements than others.

because in that case, why differentiate between physical and magical at all, if they handle exactly the same? Some diversity is needed.

now one might argue "but magic can do more than just deal damage", then why ever go physical? If physical and magical stuff she the same resource to be effective, but magic also has utlity at the side, physical stuff does have no merit, if it needs mana to get shit done that magic can get done better for the same amount

Then how about removing STR entirely? Just use some scaled down version of ¹/₂ x END x SPD².

Because then we start to shift back into 'One stat to rule them all' territory. Which is what we're trying to fix here.

This discussion is reaching maximum levels of tiresomeness. I will write up a complete draft of the rules tomorrow, and I implore you to do the same, with your own views on how the rules should be. Feel free to just copy any existing rule set, including the one I will present, and just add "except for that one part, I think we should do this instead".
What then gets voted for gets picked, and we can move on to rebalancing abilities

Define 'unique'. Though I don't think any of the other characters except perhaps ICARUS has detached themselves from physics as much. Considering that he got impaled on a piece of paper somehow and despite having a gaping chest wound took as much damage as one would expect form a papercut.

Aside from his persona, he's got nothing truly special. Technology can be replicated, armor included, possibly to even greater efficiency if the designer is better than Kyle or used magic to enchant the armor.

Then again, I suppose it may be argued aside form each character's assigned ability, none of them have anything special either. Why does it matter?

Should we add a stamina pool? Acts like mana, comes from endurance (or speed or strength, or a combination of all three), applies to physical attacks.

That way, no mana goes into physical attacks (unless you set your hand on fire or something).

Alright, enough with the character arguements, back to the list:

a) Which reboot plot is the acceptable one? How does that setting look like?
b) Since I am interested in Projecks plot, we need a way for Ashleys problem to fit into it
c) Balancing of system
d) Balancing of stats
e) Balancing of abilities, if possible fit into the magic system
f) Balancing of resources, but that hits into a)
g) Who GMs the v3. Do we stick with Elf?

C and D are sorta done, they just need balancing:

Quote from: Akroma on May 31, 2014, 09:09:44 am

idea: a split like in the fire emblem threads:


Health - a singular stat, it determines how healthy you are


Speed - your dodginess, dodges both physical and magical attacks. Possible bonus: if your speed is twice as high as the enemies, attack twice.


Skill - your hittiness. No more one stat for both hitting and dodging. This determines how good your aim is, how good you are figuring out when and where to strike, aims both magic missiles and physical attacks. Possible bonus: if your Skill is twice as high as the enemies, you gain a 20% chance for a critical hit, as opposed to the usual 5%  (20 on d20 to roll for a critical hit, double damage, hurrah)(assuming critical hits are a thing.


Magic - how powerful and damaging your magic is. Possible bonus: If your mag is twice as high as the enemies resistance, your damage is increased by 2 before the absorb roll


Strength - how powerful and damaging your muscles are. Possible bonus: As above.


Defence - how good you are at taking hits, reduces damage and effects from physical attacks. Possible bonus: If your defence is twice as high as the enemies strength, their damage is automaticaly reduced by 2, before the actual reduction roll


Resistance - how good you are at restisting magic, reduces damage and effects from magical attack. Bonus as with defence for magic


Mind - determines how good you are figuring things out, manipulating people and complex things. Possible bonus: I have no idea


that's 8 stats. Roll is made on the stat ,  so if you have, for example, 5 in skill, you roll a d5, to hit against the enemies 7 in speed. If you hit succesfully, you roll your strength, which is reduced by the enemies defence, lets say you have 6 strength, enemy has 6 defence, so on average 3 damage. I'd say healthpool should be 5xPoints put in health in such a case.


setting human average to an arbitrarily decided 5, that would be 40 statpoints to be distributed by a normal person. It remains to you guys to decide what kind of statpool would be fitting for us, how fats they increase etc. That stats are now rolled on purely, rather than adding them to a dice entirely removes the problem that either the dice is so high that the stats dont matter, or the stats so high that the dice dont matter entirely.

unless someone has special equipment, it does not matter for the rolls if you are punching someone, stabbing someone or shooting someone. Only special loots can give an effective bonus. A silver sword might deal double damage to demons etc, while a masterwork sword of legend and whatnot might give you a +2 on damage, and/or +1 to skill etc. Kyles armor for example might increase damage reduction by 1 (which alongside his damage reduction perk, which will remain as it is, makes him super tanky)



I have yet to receive any inspiration on how to handle mana pools, and how much mana using your abilities would cost

I'm confused about how the system is supposed to work.

To start, when you attack, does the attack roll need to exceed the target's defense or his defense roll? When you hit, how is damage determined exactly? And how does this system work for non-combat actions?

Right now, damage is determined by rolling a dSomething, adding and subtracting numbers that depend on the GM, and hoping the result isn't horribly unbalanced.

Which is why we're still refining the system. We still need to do tests. I, for one, want to lower the stat pools and dice size to much smaller than they are now, so everything is less ridiculously massive.

Stats have been given 3-letter abbreviations and in terms of stat-total percentage. Character A is designed to teleport their bullets into position or through walls or directly into the enemy. Character B is designed to delay or "jackhammer" (keeping in alternating reversal and normal timeflow) bullets to suppress and spam. Probably best to test them in an urban environment with cover seeing as that's likely given the setting.

So it can be scaled to any size? I would presume it doesn't have to be visible, otherwise people would notice it...

Okay, back on topic, how will lore be handled? I have summaries of some of it below:

Here's a summary of the magic types:

Spoiler: Creation - Machinations of Existence (click to show/hide)

"Magic" by definition fits as this.
Gods and the Divine are generally this.
Uses the after energies of creation.
Vulnerable to Void.
The Universe is Creation.
Often involves manipulation of the elements.

Spoiler: Void - Solipsistic Superposition (click to show/hide)

The counterpart to Creation.
Eldritch entities and the Infernal are generally this.
Represents the violations of laws and logic.
Vulnerable to Creation.
Exists in multiple simultaneous states. The states are collapsed by having external observers, hence there are some landmarks and features defined because it is pretty much always being observed.
Often involves teleportation ("voidwalking").

Spoiler: Twilight- Over-glorified Miscellaneous Section (click to show/hide)

Everything that doesn't fit in the two main spheres of Creation and Void are this.
Known sections include:

• Persona - Basically Jungian psychiatry the given forms of mythological entities. People who use this have to face their suppressed aspects in order to gain the power to summon a representation of their own facades.
• Fate - One of the things cockblocking magical time travel. The universe post-vacuum decay, kills everything, ignores everything. Doesn't do shit. The only PC that used this is no longer involved as the player (that is, myself) quit.
• Wall Street - Eldritch power that is based off of interpreting everything from an economics point of view. Hardly ever used. No PCs use this as their ability. Involves share trading and auditing.
• The Gallery - Art as a supernatural force. Has multiple mediating entities. Dadaism may or may not be involved.

Other lore aspects:

Spoiler: Gods and Devils (click to show/hide)

As a general rule of thumb, they can't be bothered doing shit. Creator gods tend to be the most powerful.

Spoiler: The Four Horsepersons (click to show/hide)

Vary in gender. The remaining fifth horsemen is retired and his job was taken up by one of the current ones. Has little to do with the actual apocalypse.

Spoiler: Aliens (click to show/hide)

They exist. They have alliances. Most don't give a fuck about Earth. Layar tried to invade Earth for vital resources. They failed. Presumably they have to buy those resources now.

Spoiler: Time Travel (click to show/hide)

Only relativity-based time travel is allowed. That is, people can only travel forwards in time. Generally by moving really quickly. A cosmic entity actively prevents any other cases of it from occurring. Indigenous Australian Ancestral Spirits are exceptions to this rule due to being metatomporal and not really ever getting involved or using that trait.

Spoiler: Dragons (click to show/hide)

They exist. They just woke up. They're doing fuck all.

Spoiler: Magic Users (click to show/hide)

About 1-2% of the population can. Magic was only known publicly after the Layar invasion because there weren't any threats a bullet to the head couldn't fix before then.

Spoiler: God (click to show/hide)

Exists. Got depowered, possibly out of sheer pity for a very poorly executed attempt to stop one of her regular murder sprees. Currently sealed. Hears people's prayers and it pisses her off.

Spoiler: Vampires (click to show/hide)

Act more like succubi/incubi in terms of what powers them. Were invading Japan but kinda stopped halfway since the person running them is hardly online now.

Spoiler: The Grim Reaper (click to show/hide)

Doesn't give a fuck unless people commit a lot of tax evasion without any good reason. Is a Wall Street entity that can neutralize information and fundamental forces along with everything else. Does fuck all mostly. Sends unclaimed souls to Heaven or Hell.

Spoiler: Afterlifes (click to show/hide)

Deities run their own afterlives, they choose souls that fit in with them. Really unlucky people accidentally lodge themselves in Fate and get erased from existence (very rarely) or end up in the Void's soul mill where basically the same thing happens (rare, but more common).

Spoiler: Inchlings (click to show/hide)

Tiny people. Near extinction. Use weaponized acupuncture. Consider dubstep to be classical music.

Enchanted Equipment:

Spoiler: Philosopher's Stone (click to show/hide)

Owned by Sen. Uses Wall Street. A small stone, can transmute things to other things that have a market price. Can only transmute what touches it, so a lot of rubbing is required to transmute a block of something and only the outside would be affected.

Spoiler: Embargo Katana (click to show/hide)

Owned by Ashley. Uses Wall Street. Non-lethally seals an enemy's strength with each hit until they collapse and are neutralized. Can reduce damage when parrying.

Spoiler: Bracelet Unit (click to show/hide)

Owned by just about every single PC. Uses Creation with a bit of Void and Fate. Allows secure ranged communication and teleportation to other bracelets as well as though sharing. Has a very poor track record in the latter case.

Spoiler: Signal Rifle (click to show/hide)

Owned by Will. Uses Fate. Similar to a scopeless sniper rifle, stabs people from long range repeatedly to encode a binary code. Goes through walls and may allow an incompetent eldritch entity to possess them and accidentally screw up their bodily functions. The actual attacks deal very low damage though.

Spoiler: Organ Scope (click to show/hide)

Owned by Will. Uses Creation. Allows the user to see organs and only organs, designed for use with something that can fire through walls.

Spoiler: High-Frequency Orichalcum Blade (click to show/hide)

Owned by ICARUS. Uses Creation. A blade that can cut through armor, more effective when powered up by mana. Deals extra damage to gods, presuming that the god in question can even be damaged.

Spoiler: Poisoned Dagger (click to show/hide)

Owned by Will. Uses Creation. Coated with an acidic poison that doesn't act like a real acid or poison.

Spoiler: Rainbow Serpent's Water (click to show/hide)

Imbued into Kyle. Uses Creation. Allows Kyle to pretty much knock up anything. Including inanimate objects. And lines of code.

Spoiler: Primordial Knives (click to show/hide)

Owned by Jacqueline. Uses Creation. If something is killed by these, they get erased from existence. Compels the owner to kill. Should their owner die, they will revive, this feature is recharged by killing someone. Prevents their owner from aging.

Spoiler: Plot Resolution (click to show/hide)

Drink spiking, drinking vessel spiking, air spiking, furniture spiking and the like are generally not accepted as ways to resolve a plot. Rock offs and Rap battles however are accepted by some plots.

Spoiler: Rampant Shipping (click to show/hide)

A lot of the female cast seem to be homosexual. A fair proportion of the cast also seem to be polygamous.

If we're going off the list:

Done

Unstarted

a) Which reboot plot is the acceptable one? How does that setting look like?
b) Since I am interested in Projecks plot, we need a way for Ashleys problem to fit into it
c) Balancing of system
d) Balancing of stats
e) Balancing of abilities, if possible fit into the magic system
f) Balancing of resources, but that hits into a)
g) Who GMs the v3. Do we stick with Elf?

There's more work to be done, though we should probably focus on C to E.

b) Since I am interested in Projecks plot, we need a way for Ashleys problem to fit into it

I know little of @Projeck's plot or Ashley's problem. However, seeing as mechanics and balancing is something of interest, and I am familiar with Ashley's abilities, let's audit it a bit, shall we?

---

Now first off, her ability is called "Void Manipulation", something that she shares with a few other characters. Now, here's my first recommendation: replace it with something else. The two main spheres of this world are Creation and Void. Saying "Void Manipulation" is like saying "Creation Manipulation", an utterly unbalanced and absurd notion considering that "Creation" is basically the universe and "Void" is basically it's counterpart. Well, what to replace it with then?

You see, Ashley's rather lofty ability title in practice just means that she can teleport via void and manifest it inside Creation. The latter she hardly ever uses. For reasons that will be detailed below, how about we just call it "Void Teleportation" instead for now?

Here are summaries of the traits of her two ability usages. Points ending with a question marks are things that have not been mentioned but I what I intend to explore and argue/discuss as implications/considerations. You see, I believe that Ashley has a fair amount of unused applications for her abilities even if they are reclassified in accordance to my recommendation.

Spoiler: Void-walking (click to show/hide)

• Travels via void.
• Momentum is not maintained due to the nature of the trip.
• Momentum Cancel? Momentum Cancel-assisted attacks?
• Static teleport? Teleport nowhere but adjust stance? Teleport assisted feint?
• Vulnerable to some void attacks during transit?
• Jammed by anti-void fields.
• Targeting roll required for use.
• Can substitute dodging.
• Why can it teleport into vacuum, gasses and liquid but not solids.
• Near impossible to abduct using it.
• Manual Detection?

Spoiler: Void-manifestation (click to show/hide)

• Conjures void into Creation.
• Extra damage to Creation.
• Dissipates quickly.
• Canceled by Creation?
• Mana-blocked?
• Creation-blocking?
• Invertable?

Now, firstly, for the teleportation. What it actually amounts to, is her dissipating back into the Void, running around to where she wants to be, and pops back into Creation at her destination. The time spent in Void is different from the time this change manifests in Creation. That is, though she spends time moving through the Void, from the perspective of someone in Creation, her disappearance and reappearance is instant. Hence acting as teleportation.

Now, to my knowledge, it has not been defined what the mana cost scales with precisely lore-wise, though mechanically, greater distances require more mana. I intend to define the mana cost to equate to time spent in Void rather than the distance traveled in Void. Thus, greater distances still require more mana as it takes longer, but since it's time scaled and not distance scaled, she can't just take a nap, recover all her mana and pop back in instantly with little to no cost.

The point about momentum conservation is as follows: since she's phasing from Creation to Void and back, she doesn't suddenly change location but rather she seems to whilst having to actually travel. Consequently momentum, from the perspective of an observer in Creation, is not conserved. This raises the question of momentum-cancelling. If she is falling at terminal velocity and phases into void, is there a ground for her to splatter on? Or is it possible for her to just cancel that outright and negate all fall damage?

Onto more, interesting issues, seeing as I don't think someone who can teleport would be falling much in the first place: Momentum Cancelling and Static Teleportation, what are they? That's simple. Ashley is a melee unit. She fights primarily using her embargo katana. As it is a katana, she swings it around. Now, if you're swinging around a sword, you're going to have some momentum. During an attack, it is an asset. Afterwards, a liability. In the latter case, what if she were to phase into void, correct her stance and phase back in? Well, she'd now have none of her original momentum and have a proper posture. What this means is, in my opinion at least, one option for her should be to pay some mana in order to enter a defensive stance after attacking or, if her speed is high enough, perform an additional, targeted attack after attacking or parrying by phasing out, correcting her stance, and swinging her katana at a vulnerable point before phasing back in mid-swing, seemingly having instantly transitioned into an attack. In the case of Alucard who has similar abilities but a gun rather than a blade and Abraxis would just uses void blasts, this could allow them to lead and aim seemingly instantly for a mana cost.

Of course, in either case, this would allow them to perform a mana-based "quick draw". The limitation being, that they're be doing their aiming and in Void, thus having to rely on memory and attention to detail. This could also allow pretty impressive feints by attacking from one angle before performing a static teleport and phasing back in with an attack aimed at a vulnerable point. Not to mention circumventing attempts to parry.

Next is the idea of Manual Detection. To sum it up, it is basically the most fucking moronic option of detecting illusions and the invisible alike, horribly mana draining and basically being a last resort. When teleporting via void, entities can detect whether they can teleport into a position. That is, if there are no solids there. With this method, they could exploit (for a rather broad definition of exploit seeing as that implies something far more impressive) that property. Basically, it consists of them phasing out and metaphysically groping around like a blind idiot to check that everything is solid and that there aren't any solids where there shouldn't be. The former case indicates an illusion, the latter something invisible. This requires good memory and attention to detail. Along with a metric ass ton of mana and patience considering how time consuming it is.

A question that does arise is, can certain void abilities hamper teleportation? Like making it harder to navigate, or placing what amounts to a claymore mine in the void? Logically, I would think so. That it would be possible to produce attacks or effects either cannot be avoided by teleportation or are only threats to teleportation in the contextual manner.

Now onto void manifestation, my argument for why this would still fit into my proposed relabel is simple: when using the void to teleport, people can bring along anything that is physically touching them, such as other people, or you know, their clothing. Hence, void manifestation may be defined as touching some void and doing that when exiting, thus dragging something rather unstable and dangerous back into Creation and attacking with it. Balancing it out, is that if they want to actually shape it into something more precise than a mass of void, they'll have to manually do it, thus increasing time spent in void and thus the mana cost.

Seeing as Void and Creation tend to cancel each other out, that does lead to an interesting potential countermeasure. Magic, is defined as being Creation linked, thus if someone is aware of Void's properties and has quick enough reflexes, would they not be able to shield themselves by channeling magic in a blast to cancel out the void attack? As if a reactive armor unit. Likewise, doing that in reverse in-combination with a Static Teleport would hypothetically at least, allow magic blasts to be cancelled out with Void at the cost of mana.

The final point is, what about Void Manifestation in reverse? Dragging magic from Creation into Void and using it to attack the Creation-vulnerable denizens of the Void? If my above point is to be accepted, would this not also be possible?

It does. It's everything entities like Abraxas, Ashley, Alucard and Bartaemus use. I don't think anyone actually bothered giving it a name though, so for now, I think it's just called void magic, or void arts, or something along those lines.

Does magic and antimagic react with each other like matter and antimatter, or can they be used together to create a sort of 'pure' magic?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on June 01, 2014, 05:21:29 am

That depends, are we talking about anti-magic as in the thing that fucks up magic and prevents its usage, or antimagic as in void?

In the first case, it usually just cancels it out, unless the anti-magical field has an exception for that kind of magic, though I suppose it could cut a powerful spell down to a weaker, more appropriate size.

In the second case, they tend to fuck each other (in a different way to the God of Creation and the God of Void) but can be used together if done right. Doesn't generate anything 'pure', but can be used without destructive interference.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on June 01, 2014, 05:53:27 am

From my understanding, there isn't any "pure" supernatural force, though it is possible to get something pure from some domains.
The former PC, Shys'm Caes wielded pure Creation.
The NPC, Void (yeah, @Ragnarok never bothered giving him a name) wields pure Void (though I don't think he ever used it).
I don't think pure persona are possible unless you fuck around with the collective unconscious and archetypes seeing as they tend to be locked to their user.
Fate was available by proxy but now due to it's agents being abandoned, is available only in pure form.
Wall Street isn't available in pure form as it's abilities are broken down into set categories.
The Gallery's magic seems to only ever be used in pure form.
Not sure what a pure superpower would be. Probably not possible.

Post by: smurfingtonthethird on June 01, 2014, 06:01:27 am

As Creation and Void seem to be opposing forces, I thought combining them would make something... explosive, like matter + antimatter.

Alright, we should work out the kinks in the prototype system, whatever they may be.

Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 06:06:51 am

Okay, time to write up the complete system, and then wait for all the dozens of comments what needs to be changed because I am such a fool.

Spoiler: Stats (click to show/hide)

In this stat-system, the stats a completely average human would have are set to 5. This is for referance when stating your own character, but also combat encounters. There are 8 (optional: 9) stats in the system, meaning a perfectly average human has a pool of 40 points. Depending on just how high the GM wants the powerlevel to be, I suggest a pool of starting stats of 100. To clarify, all rolled dice depend on the skill. If you have 7 strength, you roll a d7


Optional rule: Depending on which stat on a character is the highest, he gains a perk based on that stat. This serves to further differentiate characters from eachother, but needs a bit of review regarding how powerful the perks are. Of course, you can suggest own perks. If two stats are the same level, pick one.


Health:

This stat represents your vitality. It grants you 3 (optional: 4) hitpoints per point in this stat, and also dictates your rate of regen. Any regen phase, which is usualy a good nights sleep, or simply whenever the GM acknowledges that you have time to regenerate health, you regen twice your health stat. That means if you were close to death, you'd need about 3 days of rest to be back to full. Not realistic, because this is a game and all, but also not so miraculously quick that grave wounds are without consequence - you may stumble into the next encounter with less than optimal health if you do not watch out. Professional medical care can boost the regen to 3 times your health stat. And I mean professional, making sense with the caretaking chars background. Just bandaids and clumsily applied bandages with a bit of antiseptic salve is nice and all, but will only do something if the GM in question feels generous. More on this stat below under Combat.

Optional: Possible perks: Regen happens in shorter phases or no medical care is needed or death treshold (more on that later) is increased or one point in health is now worth 4 Hitpoints.



Mana:

How big of a vessel for energy you are. It grants you 2 (optional: 3) manapoints per point in this stat, and also dictates your rate of regen. A regen phase is about 12 hours without using mana, and regens your Mana by as many points as the stat is high. So a complete nights rest should get you back to full mana, and unless encounters or times where you use mana come in rapid succession, you will not entirely run out.


SUGGESTED UPDATE: Mana regen halved

Possible perks: regen of mana during combat 1 point every 5 rounds or one point of mana is now worth 3



Speed:

How fast you are. This stat is used for dodging, but also for chases and of course when the GM feels now is an appropriate time to use it. When you are dodging multiple enemies in succession, you gain a penalty of -1 on each successive dodge. This penalty resets between hits. Dodging AoE attacks get's a penalty of -2 per size category.

Possible perks: If your speed is at least 5 points higher than your targets speed, you can dual attack him or if your speed is at least 5 points greater than your target, dodging them does not cause a penalty for successive dodges or you can attack two different targets each round, but in that case only deal 60% damage to both



Skill:

How good you are at aiming, timing your attacks or going for blindspots. This is also the skill that is used to roll on for mundane skills, like crafting and whatever else, if the GM feels it is appropriate.

Possible perks: if the optional rule for critical hits, see below, is active, and your skill is at least 5 points higher than the target, your critical hit chance increases from 5% to 20% or if your skill is at least 5 points higher than the targets, you can aim at weak spots in their armor (if that exists?) to ignore 2 points of damage reduction



Strength:

How good you are at dealing physical damage. Yes, I know, being super buff should not affect your damage if you use a gun, BUT we are looking for unified system, with clear rules. So you better be lifting son. Note, this does not necessarly have to mean you are incredibly buff. If you want to deal tons of damage and still play something that is frail and not muscular at all, this is roleplay - feel free to roll strength checks for lifting the huge boulders badly on purpose.

Possible perks: When grappling an enemy, he needs to roll at least 5 points higher than you to escape your grapple or if you strength is at least 5 points higher than the enemies defence, ignore two points of damage reduction or your unarmed attacks deal 2 points more damage



Defence:

How good you are at minimizing damage to you. This may mean you have thick scales or are a robot made of steel, but also that you know how to properly brace yourself before a hit, to prevent that a bullet that otherwise might have been lethal hits anything too important.

Possible perks: If your defence is at least 5 points higher than the enemies strength, the incoming damage is reduced by 2 or physical AoE damage is decreased by 25%



Magic:

How powerful your magical abilities are, and how adept at using them. For the sake of unifying the game, magic covers all supernatural abilities, no matter wether it is actual magic, or a superpower. Wether or not Personas use the same stat or are so radicaly different, I barely care. Only one person uses them, and in fact, does not use them for anything other than the healing spell, and instead has technology skills that definetly classify as a superpower. I will leave this for others to figure out. More on this stat in the magic section.

Possible perks: Your spells are more mana efficent (-1 cost), or simpler to cast (TN -1) or have less drawbacks


Resistance:

Works exactly the same as defence, but against the supernatural.

Possible perks: As with defence

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

Combat innitiative is determined by the speed stat. When you attack someone, you roll skill vs the targets speed, if you rolled higher, you hit. Damage is calculated by you rolling strength+(weapon, more on that later), vs the enemies defence (+possible extra armor). Simple.
For magic the same, assuming it is a kind of magic that needs to be aimed and that can be dodged, skill vs speed, and then mag vs resistance. Depending on how much mana you use, the mag score will be increased, more on that on magic.

Should someones health fall to 0, that character is unconscious, probably heavily bleeding. His allies now have [health] turns time to perform any sort of CPR or live saving measures on him. This takes no roll, however while doing so, you are an easy target, and prone to interruption. Maybe you wanna kill the demon first and CPR then? Maybe someone should cover you? Should health fall below 0, you have that much less turns to save the wounded allies live. Wether he was saved or not, that character is out of combat.

Spoiler: Magic (click to show/hide)

Magic is split into categories, starting from negliable, small, medium, big, enormous, epic. To be able to cast medium spells, one needs to have a mag of at least 6, 9 fof big, 12 for enormous, 15 for gigantic, higher categories may exist.

Negliable skills cost no mana, and are mostly flavour. This also covers a basic magic attack, that does nothing besides rolling on mag for damage. They require no roll to be succesfully cast, except skill if it need to be aimed.

Small skills cost 2 mana. That's either attacks that deal more damage (mag*1.5 is rolled here), or add side effects, like setting the enemy on fire to do damage over time, or adding a small AoE etc.

Medium skills cost 3 mana, and you either need to beat a TN of 3 on mag, or the spell could come at a minor drawback. Mag*2 for damage

Big skills cost 5 mana, and you need to beat a TN of 6 on mag to pull them of, or a TN of 3 alongside a minor drawback, or no TN, but two drawbacks. Mag*2.5 for damage


Enormous cost 7 mana, and need a TN of 9, or 6 with drawback, 10 mana, TN of 12 etc for bigger, you see how the categroies increase

If the TN is not met, it is reduced by 3 if you try to continue casting the same spell next turn
 
A charsheet should provide ample amount of examples what theirt abilities would do in each category, and the GM needs to look those over carefully.

Examples of drawbacks: Deal a d3 of damage to the caster, cost 1 more point of mana, is immobile while casting. A turn to charge the attack counts as two consecutive immobilisations, so that's two drawbacks. You can always come up with more, customise your character.

Summoning:
Negliable: some cute critter of no actual use apart from being cute, and possibly distracting
Small : 25 stat base
Medium: 50 stat base
big: 75 stat base
enormous: 100 stat base
gigantic: 125 stat base
even bigger: 150 etc etc

The summoning itself takes 1 turn, with the summon being ready to act on the next turn. For enormous summons, there is a delay of 1 turn while the summon manifests itself. The character that summoned it can already act that turn, Gigantic 2 turns delay, etc etc

Summons remain for as many turns as you have rolled over the TN, example, for an enormous summon, with a TN of 9, summoned with a mag roll of 11 stays only 2 turns. It is generaly recommended to decrease the TNs and add drawbacks instead

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

As magic attacks are mostly about huge burst damage, physical attacks are more about steady, but comparatively lower damage, but comes at no drawback. Your damage is defined by your strength roll, of course, but also by your mode of attack, which is determined by the quality of your weaponry. The values here mean *on average*. A bit of variation is entirely okay if the GM allows it.

Unarmed: no bonus. Note that dragons, clawed things, things that are permanently on fire etc etc do not count as unarmed.

Normal: +3, your everyday weapon that is really nothing special. A PC could likely make or aquire such a weapon with no problems whatsoever

Good: +5, a weapon that has recived some fine tuning, or is in other ways above average. Aquiring these should cost money, which should be finite, or proper skill in weapon making, that is not only your skill stat must be high, it should also fall in line with your background.

High quality: +7, these are usualy rare, and probably won't be found in a store, but more in the grave treausres of some ancient warrior or whatnot. Characters are unlikely to be able to make these easily.

Masterwork: +9, does not get better than this. A character should have real trouble getting his hands on one of these babies.

One time use: Explosives etc, that you can only carry a very finite amount with you deal between +5 (for grenades, added AoE), to +10 (RPG) damage.

As far as the effects of enchanting does, that really depends on the enchant, but a pure damage enchant would probably add a +2.

Optional: For further customisation, there could be a distinction between light, medium and heavy weaponry. Light weaponry (daggers etc) deals 1 point less damage on average, but grants a bonus of +1 on the skill roll to hit, while heavy weaponry (huge ass hammer) deals 1 damage more, but reduces skill by 1, as it is easier to dodge.

Armor:
no armor +0, light +1 defence, medium+3 but -1 speed, heavy +5 but -2 speed and -1 skill.

as for other items, like the speed increasing 3D gear, or whatever you want, the above guidelines give a good idea how much stuff can give. Of course, the GM decides alone wether something is allowed or not. For already existing gear that carries over, they may be subject to rebalancing. As far as new starting gear goes, the GM decides how much one should be allowed. Equipment that increases Mag should be incredibly rare, as it would snowball most likely.

I think this is it. I will try to figure out summoning rules soon, but as only Alucard seems to be using that, it's less of a problem, as the stuff he summons falls into my lore expertise, so I can decide upon what category a summon is in. Bigger summons may need to be sustained through a continous mana cost though




now, feel free to make adjustments to this system or make your own and whatnot. When enough time has passed, voting will happen

Hmm, maybe have a singular defense skill instead of two? It'd make combat a bit easier, especially if an attack is a combination of physical and magical attacks.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 07:04:05 am

singular defence makes minmaxing super easy. The purpose of having two is that it makes it very difficult to cover all bases. With just one defense stat, you put that very high and are safe from all forms of attack. Have two, and either you are weak to one form of attack, or you put both of them high, meaning your other skills will fall short

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

True. Then can we integrate defense into other skills? Less stats is always good.

Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 08:09:36 am

so, assuming we will use this system, I already have Icarus statted. If maybe someone else will try and do their character, for a test battle? For testing Purposes, assume 80 pool, and Items worth 4-8 points, really depends on your tastes.

I.C.A.R.U.S (Independant Combat And Rescue Utility System)


An original project by IRIS and DARPA to create the ultimate weapon for the fight against the supernatural, 7 Prototypes (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5031419#msg5031419) were built and distributed around the world for testing purposes. Through interactions of remnant magic from Winries technomancy and Kyles supernatural fertility when he tried to update ICARUS programming, a sort of electronical spirit was sparked into life, which slowly but surely grew more intelligent, eventually sentient, and even obtained a soul. This spirit, Icarus, marks the beginning of an entirely new age of supernatural phenomena, but is sadly entirely reliant on a sufficently advanced computer to sustain her existance.



Currently lives with Alice in Calais, trying to not draw too much attention, as previous events that maaaay be interpreted as a terrorist attack forced her to abandon the ICARUS-05, and go into hiding with the PIXEL-01. That doesn't stop her from going out at night and beating up criminals. She just can't help it, it's part of her nature. She also has taken up hacking, and is showing quite a talent for it, understanding systems better than most humans could. The PIXEL has various cables that can be used to gain access to systems, should a port be found, and has little trouble wirelessly accessing W-Lan, or even tinkering with mobile phones.



Stats (100)

Health:         14 - 42 HitPoints
Mana:           11 - 22 Mana
Speed:          16 (17)
Skill:             15
Strength:       13 (16)
Mag:              9
Defence:        13 (14)
Resistance:     9

Perks: (I guess they carry over from v2?): Brisk - Speed roll is increased by +1 when dodging
Statperk: Speed - Dual attack on two targets at 60% damage, calculated after damage reduction

Equipment:
PIXEL-01 (http://img.booru.org/grognard//images/3/6cbc772d096f4183626adca1f5b8646f836b3e6e.jpg): A body created by Winry, which at least while dressed, looks human. Made for intermingling with society and evading law enforcement.

Robot-Fists +3 on damage on "unarmed" attacks. Concealed weaponry that pretty much looks like normal fists, but quite suprise when you notice they have a steel skelleton
Normal Handgun, +3 on damage, ranged, 10 shots in magazine, unregistered.
Steel-Frame (light armor) +1 on damage reduction
Weak to electricity, weak to acids, immune to poison, Overdrive is locked at small acts. Overdrive in this body can increase Str, Spe, Skl.


ICARUS-05 (http://www.itsalltrue.net/reviews/advimages/drossel1.jpg): A body created by Winry in cooperation with IRIS and DARPA, after recent events, is locked up at the headquarters of Interpol in Lyon (that's where the HQ really is. Convenient coincidence that our old base is not far from there)

Orichalcum high-frequency blade (http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/High-frequency_blade), +4 on damage, ignores 1 point of armor. Increased damage against the divine.
Silver Particle Cannon, +2 on damage, magical damage, allows the increase of mag through Overdrive
Boron-Nitrate-fiber Armor +2 on damage reduction
High torque cyclonic barrier (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex/Ships_and_Vehicles#Normandy_Shield_Upgrade:_Cyclonic _Barrier_Technology_(CBT)), when activated allows the increase of Def with overdrive.
Weak to electricity, resistant to fire, immune to poison, Overdrive is locked at medium acts. Overdrive can increase Str, Spe, Skl, Mag, Def.


HYDRA-01 (http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/227/c/8/drossel_von_flugel__character_turn_around__by_point23-d5dns0y.jpg): A body designed by DARPA, and ICARUS by faking the identity of various designers that worked from home. Not built yet.


Ability: Overdrive. Icarus sends energy into her systems to for a short time, greatly increase her combat abilities. Not all stats can be buffed, details in backstory. Because her current body, the PIXEL-01 is not the high tech military hardware she used to pilot, her abilities are currently locked at minor acts, until the ICARUS-05 (medium) and/or the HYDRA-01 (big) have been attained

Negliable: Sensors. Unless whatever Icarus is scanning is actively shielded against scans, her Sensors can gather a large amount of information hidden to the naked eye. [locked]: Flight.

Small: Increase of single stat by 1.5 or two stats by 1.2 (TN: No roll, cost 2 mana)

Medium: Doubling of a single stat, 1.5 of two stats, increase by 1.2 of 3 stats (TN:3, cost 4 mana)

Big: etc (TN:3, minor drawback - deals d3 damage to body, cost 6 mana)

higher levels will be statted when they become avaiable.

Of note: Weak to electrical attacks, but resistant to fire based attacks

Post by: Kansa on June 01, 2014, 08:15:01 am

I think the mana costs are a little low on ICARUS, they should be higher otherwise we run into the same problem of mana never running out in battle again.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 08:16:13 am

Best try and stat HILDA or Alucard, or something you will use in the future anyway, saves time for when you actually need to stat them and fix their abilities etc


Kansa: noted. Manapools and Manacosts will be subject for revision, after the test battle.

"Refining"? My queries are more on the "defining" side.

I know that not many people are interested in it, but...for the record, if we went with GURPS, all these numbers would be both defined and refined.

Well, I do want to avoid cases of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n049JQaXAPE&t=0m8s), so I'd rather roll for combat checks than have it a set value.

First, is that really the best video you could find?
Second, GURPS does involve rolling, it's just that the difficulty of various rolls is already determined and the numbers adjusted accordingly. As another bonus, it lets us figure out abilities that much more easily.

A circle like that would be drawn over an entire city or country. Plus it only works during a solar eclipse.

Does it need to be total? If not, what part of the circle needs to be eclipsed? Total solar eclipses aren't very wide...

Quote from: Empiricist on June 01, 2014, 02:02:24 am

Okay, back on topic, how will lore be handled? I have summaries of some of it below:

-snip-

You left out demons.

Spoiler: Hell and Demons (click to show/hide)

First off, the lore I made for demons, like most of the lore I made oh-so-long ago, has been trampled on by others because they didn't like it. So some people might disagree. I've tried to incorporate their things, though.

Hell is the afterlife. Anyone who won't make a good enough cog in the machine of the Overgods and who isn't rescued by some other god (which annoys the demons, so they don't do it much) gets sent to Hell, under the control of a demon. The exact demon varies on a number of factors, largely the vices they enjoyed but also other factors. Originally, there were only a couple dozen demons or so, each taking a fairly simple selection of souls, but over time, demons traded soul rights around and sold them and as of the modern day it's Byzantine. Demons sometimes go to Earth to try and coax mortals in various directions to try and make them end up in some demon's control or another so they can collect a fraction of the soul's value.
As for the souls, there are in general two categories: Slaves and trophies. The former category is the most common; most souls get put to work maintaining their owner's domain, whatever it might be, serving as soldiers, or some other menial task. This tends to drain the soul of identity, if they can't find ways to express it. The latter is much rarer; a sufficiently special individual will be kept away from work so that the owner can boast about owning some great conqueror, artist, hero, or somesuch. Souls can also be sold; they're a little like stocks, if I had to make a comparison to mortal economics.
As for the demons themselves...it's complicated. Familiar with Hobbes? His philosophy is more or less correct. Demons are inherently selfish. They're willing to work together if they think it furthers their aims, whether because it does or because they're tricked into thinking so. The most common method of working-together involves a stronger demon forcing a weaker demon to do as he says. They're real nice people. Most demons live in Hell, either exclusively or most of the time, but some go to the mortal world for extended periods of time, whether because they were banished for some crime or another or because of some job they need to do. Regardless, they like Hell much better. Demons can shapeshift, but when in the mortal realm they are limited by conservation of mass. They also have other magic, typically involving some kind of specialty. There are no true subtypes of demons (e.g, incubi, ifrit, etc); the closest thing demons have are basically their professions. Demons reproduce asexually.
Imps are similar to demons, being made in the same way, but they have been stripped of their individuality. Rather than try to do what's best for themselves, they try to do what's best for their creator. Imps aren't unheard of, but they're not terribly common either; it's not easy to make one, and they're generally considered valuable. Also, they're weaker than typical demons.
Demons service not only the souls of mankind but those of all sentient races. Demons and Hell are a mixture of Creation and Void, and hence are technically Twilight beings. Don't ask if they sparkle, though.

I'd also like to note that a fair portion of the cast seems to be bisexual, rather than merely homosexual.

Quote from: kj1225 on June 01, 2014, 02:25:25 am

Equipment being an innuendo for a mans genitals and enchanted... being magically imbued somethings.

...
Seriously? You felt the need to read innuendo into that?

Quote from: smurfingtonthethird on June 01, 2014, 05:05:33 am

Looks fine to me, though I wonder if magic has a void counterpart.

Depends on how you define "magic". It could easily be its own Void counterpart.

Quote from: Empiricist on June 01, 2014, 05:53:27 am

Not sure what a pure superpower would be. Probably not possible.

Considering that the universe superpowers are from is based on comic books...there's probably someone wielding pure superpower.

Quote from: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 06:06:51 am

Optional rule: Depending on which stat on a character is the highest, he gains a perk based on that stat.

How about just generalized perks? That allows us to differentiate between characters even better. Or we could incorporate perks into powers.
This could be a good place to slip in a bit of GURPS hybrid. Use this system for most things, but use GURPS advantages (with some tweaking to fit the system, or only selecting ones that don't need it) for the perks and powers.

Quote

Mana:
...A regen phase is about 6 hours without using mana, and regens your Mana by as many points as the stat is high...
Possible perks: regen of mana during combat 1 point every 3 rounds...

Seems like a pretty dang impressive perk...especially compared to its Health equivalent.

Quote

Speed:
When you are dodging multiple enemies in succession, you gain a penalty of -1 on each successive dodge. This penalty resets between hits.

Why? I'd have it reset between turns--ie, once you've had a turn, you don't take more penalties on dodge rolls.

Quote

Skill:
How good you are at aiming, timing your attacks or going for blindspots. This is also the skill that is used to roll on for mundane skills, like crafting and whatever else, if the GM feels it is appropriate.

...Seems like a pretty darn generic mishmash. Master smiths also have to be sharpshooters?

Quote

Strength:
How good you are at dealing physical damage. Yes, I know, being super buff should not affect your damage if you use a gun, BUT we are looking for unified system, with clear rules. So you better be lifting son.

Also problematic.

Quote

Wether or not Personas use the same stat or are so radicaly different, I barely care. Only one person uses them, and in fact, does not use them for anything other than the healing spell, and instead has technology skills that definetly classify as a superpower. I will leave this for others to figure out.

For the record, I don't really care if we ditch Personas altogether. They don't really mesh with anything else...and they were introduced by Richard, aka "person from another universe".

Quote

Should someones health fall to 0, that character is unconscious, probably heavily bleeding. His allies now have [health] turns time to perform any sort of CPR or live saving measures on him. This takes no roll, however while doing so, you are an easy target, and prone to interruption. Maybe you wanna kill the demon first and CPR then? Maybe someone should cover you? Should health fall below 0, you have that much less turns to save the wounded allies live. Wether he was saved or not, that character is out of combat.

And what about after combat?

Quote

Spoiler: Magic (click to show/hide)

Magic is split into categories, starting from negliable, small, medium, big, enormous, epic. To be able to cast medium spells, one needs to have a mag of at least 6, 9 fof big, 12 for enormous, 15 for gigantic, higher categories may exist.

Negliable skills cost no mana, and are mostly flavour. This also covers a basic magic attack, that does nothing besides rolling on mag for damage. They require no roll to be succesfully cast, except skill if it need to be aimed.

Small skills cost 1 mana. That's either attacks that deal more damage (mag*2 is rolled here), or add side effects, like setting the enemy on fire to do damage over time, or adding a small AoE etc.

Medium skills cost 2 mana, and you either need to beat a TN of 3 on mag, or the spell could come at a minor drawback.

Big skills cost 3 mana, and you need to beat a TN of 6 on mag to pull them of, or a TN of 3 alongside a minor drawback, or no TN, but two drawbacks.

etc etc. A charsheet should provide ample amount of examples what theirt abilities would do in each category, and the GM needs to look those over carefully.

Examples of drawbacks: Deal a d3 of damage to the caster, cost 1 more point of mana, is immobile while casting. A turn to charge the attack counts as two consecutive immobilisations, so that's two drawbacks. You can always come up with more, customise your character.

I'm noticing that there's basically no mention of where anything but attacks would fit in. Since the non-combat magic was the most problematic...shouldn't we bother to do something about that?
Insert point that GURPS would provide a balanced, complete system for this here.
On that note...well...it would be kinda tough to fit into your proposed Magic system, but if we just used GURPS for the abilities, we would have access to a wider array of potential powers. Passive powers, for instance, are impossible. Having multiple weaker types of magic? Difficult if not impossible to balance. Noncombat magic? Fiat time. Perks? Better hope you can get a stat one that fits your fancy. These problems are solved with a GURPS hybrid system. The biggest problem would be converting damage values, but that's not such a problem.

Quote from: smurfingtonthethird on June 01, 2014, 07:12:19 am

True. Then can we integrate defense into other skills? Less stats is always good.

Oh, I disagree. Less stats is only good if there are too many stats. Splitting up the Ruling Stats (stats that are far, far more important than any other, like Dexterity in v2 of this game, Agility in Looter's Delight, Speed in Call of Cthulhu...huh, I'm noticing a trend) is always a good thing.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 08:34:41 am

A) Generalised perks, maybe. Make a list of suggestions. I'd suppose chars start with just one.

B) Considering we will revise mana amount and/or mana costs of spells, it becomes less impressive, but yeah it might be nerfed to every 4 or 5 turns.

C) Maybe. I was just trying to resolve a common problem we have, that we are usualy in great numerical advantage, and if the penalty does not reset, villains would be pummelled to death rather quickly. The penalty reseting after being hit makes things more survivable, without making things entirely untouchable.

D) Well, I'm very reluctant to enter yet another stat to handle mundane perks. I am open to suggestions. Anyway, a guidelines for PCs is "just because you could does not mean you should". If someone takes high skill to have a high mundane skill, that person is welcome to put a smaller amount of points behind the number in brackets for combat - or maybe take low skill, and then a perk that increases it for the mundane skill?

E) Different weapons running off different skills to deal damage is too minmaxy. Someone who uses guns would not need and strength at all, but only skill, thus being able hit more often *and* deal more damage, all with the same stat. Similar things happen if damage for weapons would run of dex etc etc. So no, Strength stays the stat for physical damage, regardless of your weapon.

F) Non-attack magic falls into the descriptions the players put on their sheets, examples etc. When they then do some magicing out of combat, the GM compares the suggested action to the examples to see what kind of category it would fall in to determine mana costs and TN. Multiple types of magic as with Sanure do get balanced by them being weaker. They'd deal way less damage in regard to their mana cost, basicaly putting all of that kinda stuff up one category.

And yes, some magic does fall into fiat time. It's the GMs duty to look into just how powerful an action is to see if it is possible, give it appropriate mana cost and TN, and then narrate the result. That's what GMs do

G) After combat, any players remaining alife will stabilize wounded players if they have time. The unconscious player still need a regen phase until the get back up and can act again.

-----------

As for the mana patch, how about simply doubling the costs we have right now. Small spells costing 2, then 4, then 6 etc. That way ICARUS would for example run out of Mana after 3 big uses of her power - which is basicaly how it is right now. Considering how much big spells do, that seems good. Mana regen may also be slower


updated rules

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Kansa on June 01, 2014, 08:42:31 am

It still seems a bit too powerful that way with what the powers give, maybe nerfing the powers itself is the answer. With how it is now you can double a stat and times two other ones by 1.5 for the entire battle with no rolls required.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 08:44:35 am

not the entire battle, just for one turn, also only double one OR increase two by 1.5.

but yeah, scaling and balancing is still something all abilities will go through, as it stands, this is an early alpha ICARUS, the ability may yet be decreased


edit: updated rules again, and updated Icarus. As it stands, using her power in a minor act to increase her strength would increase it by 4.5, to 14 (rounded down), or if she wanted to increase both speed and skill at once that would increase speed by 2.6 so by 3 points, and skill by 2.4, so 2 points. For a single turn, for 2 mana. On average the strength increase would increase the damage range before damage reduction, with the +2 from the weapon to 3-17. An enemy with I guess a 10 in defence would be common, would reduce that damage by 1-10 points, so a boosted attack would, on average do about 5-6 damage, however the spread is quite large, might at max deal 16 damage, though unlikely. Unboosted, against the same opponent, Icarus would have a damage range from 3-13, and would on average deal 3 damage, to a possible maximum of 12.

Seems okay to me. In fact, maybe even a little low. I may consider lowering health, or increasing base weapon damage. What do you guys think would be better?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Kansa on June 01, 2014, 08:53:47 am

Ah ok I thought it was both sorry, by saying for the entire battle I meant that you could basically just use it over and over as there is no cool down on the actual abilities.

The new abilities seem better now :)

Post by: PrivateNomad on June 01, 2014, 08:57:38 am

Dr. Alucard Faucheuse
XP: 570
(http://i.imgur.com/VWKpWFs.png)
Stats    (120)
 HP------13 [39]
 MP-----22 [44]
 SPEED---6
 SKILL---20
 STR-----6
 MAG----34
 DEF-----9
 RES-----14 [14]

Perks
 Magic Efficiency- In his years researching magic, Alucard has learned to more easily cast spells. -2 to spell TN.
 Manaburn- Alucard's spells disrupt the target's mana pool, draining mana equal to 20% of the damage he deals.

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

Equipment
  Dyna Anchor - +11 weapon, Seals teleportation and invisibility for 3 turns. Allows a single Spell or attack (from anybody) to be recorded into the sword for a one time additional attack during a turn. After the stored attack has been used, the sword will be empty until an attack is recorded, or if a MAG vs SKL check is succeeded on an enemy attack. (Special attacks cannot be stored.)
 Anti-magic Pistol 'Suppression' - +3 damage. Deals anti-magic damage. Does +1 damage to Creation magic.
 Anti-void Pistol 'Mercy's Toll'- +3 damage. Deals anti-void damage. Does +1 damage to Void magic. These pistols can be combined to form one mundane pistol.
 IRIS Telecom- Acts as a universal communications device made by IRIS. It is capable of accessing computer files, sending and receiving messages, making calls, playing games, and accessing the IRIS server. This version is specially designed for research.
 The Voidcrosser - Masterwork, +9 DMG. This legendary sword once belonged to Dracula, then to The Bewitcher, and now Alucard. It contains an unknown magic which nobody seems to be able to identify.

Spoiler: Powers (click to show/hide)

Ability: Power of the Void, primarily spatial manipulation.

Rifts last 2 turns and then must be up-kept. Every added turn costs 1 MP.
Portals last 3 turns unless up-kept. Every added turn costs 1 MP. Can be made permanent to a deduction of maximum mana equal to 1.5* the spell tier.

The more Alucard casts his spells, the more likely a paradox - negative effects on the dimensional spacing - may occur. Alucard has a paradox limit that equals his RESISTANCE, and exceeding it will trigger paradoxes. The more he exceeds it, the greater the effect. A spell automatically adds paradox equal to the spell tier (except small), along with any other that is added. With spells that require charging or continuous use, the paradox added equals to half the spell tier.

(http://i.imgur.com/L8mQ1Uj.png) Uncreated Summoning - From his studies in the void, Alucard has learned to summon void entities using the Void Gate. Such involves a circle which must be adjusted according to what he's summoning from the gate.

(http://i.imgur.com/cbklBJQ.png) Void Magic - A common void spell which allows Alucard to conjure void magic which eats away at creation.

(http://i.imgur.com/kNX6cI2.png) Black Hole - Alucard distorts the spatial continuum in an area to create an unstable rift that sucks everything inside of it. Lasts for 3 turns, but is channeled.
Enormous - (-10 SPEED, TN 20 to escape, d20 damage at center)
Even Bigger - (-15 SPEED, TN 25 to escape, d25 damage at center)
Colossal - (-20 to SPEED, TN 30 to escape, d30 damage at center)


(http://i.imgur.com/pgNiZ9h.png) Portal Magic - Alucard tears a stable gateway to another location.
Negligible - (1km radius)
Minor - (30km)
Medium - (100km)
Major - (300km)
Enormous - (700km)
Even Bigger - (1000km)(d6 damage)
Colossal - (1700km)(d6 damage)

(http://i.imgur.com/g8jIQkz.png) Inferno - Bartimaeus charges a constant stream of void fire which Alucard compresses with spatial magic, releasing a deadly surge of burning void fire.
Minor - (+d4 dmg/turn charged, 2 burn dmg for 2 turns)
Medium - (+d8/turn, 3 burn)
Major - (+d12/turn, 4 burn)
Enormous - (+d16/turn, 5 burn)
Even Bigger - (+d20/turn, 6 burn)
Colossal - (+d24/turn, 7 burn)

(http://i.imgur.com/J4qpel0.png) Spatial Warp - By contracting the space in front of him, Alucard can move at extremely high speeds due to reducing the amount of distance he has to travel. At the end of one dash, Alucard can attack or cast another spell. He can continuously cast Spatial Warp as long as he meets the TN and spends the mana each turn, and can attack or cast spells with it.
Negligible - Slight change to speed. (For flavor)
Minor - Fairly fast. (+4 SPEED)
Medium - Very fast. (+8 SPEED)
Major - Extremely fast. (+12 SPEED)

(http://i.imgur.com/jVfqE5A.png) Dimensional Anchor - A spell crafted by Alucard after he studied the Dyna Anchor sword. By trapping a target's energies and matters within itself, Alucard blocks all interplanar travel and invocation. When under the effects of Dimensional Anchor, the target cannot teleport or use any effects that are derived from another plane, such as summoning, using certain types of magic (such as summoning void energy in creation), and mana regeneration; much higher levels of the spell can even permanently kill an entity that would otherwise be regenerated in its home plane. The spell appears as a dark purple swirl seeming to wrap around the target, dragging it down and stunning it as a latticework of enchantments surrounds them.
Medium - (1 turn stun, 2 turn anchor)
Major - (1 turn stun, 3 turn anchor)
Enormous - (1 turn stun, 3 turn anchor, 5x5 AoE)
Even Bigger - (1 turn stun, 4 turn anchor, 7x7 AoE)
Colossal - (2 turn stun, 4 turn anchor, 9x9 AoE)

well, what do you think, made an edit to previous post running some numbers.


Is this sort of damage output acceptable? Does health need to be reduced, or base weapon damage be increased? I think that is a normal weapon only adds +2 to damage, against average healthpools of 60, that is rather low. The maximum damage dealt seems big, but that would require Icarus rolling a 17, and the enemy rolling a 1, so it is absolutely justified that it deals huge damage.




I am thinking a bit of both, putting Health to give you 5 HP (6 with perk), and all weapon bases be increased by +1


PN, please include in your char description examples for negliable, small, minor etc acts, for the GM to better judge how stuff, especialy out of combat, should be judged.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 09:04:08 am

update: decreased healthpool, increased base weapon damage, updated Icarus inventory.


PN please adjust your sheet, and then we shall have our test battle. I will gladly GM it. Note that magic damage has been nerfed to 1.5 mag on small, 2*mag on medium etc spells

suggestion for the void rift in mechanics. AoE that through the sucking effect, decreases the speed of those caught in the AoE by 2 points (as a small act), 4/6 for medium and big, though medium and big can also used to increase AoE, or difficulty of escape. Resistance roll to escape, TN on 3/5/7  but minimum time affected by the rift is 1 turn. (it's all on resistance nowadays, streamlining and all), if resistance rolls crifails (rolls a 1) get sucked to center and no, dont instantly land in the void, but take d3 void based damage, higher damage if spell is set to deal high damage. Note that any increase in the suggested fields mean an increase in spell size, not an increase in spell size means that all fields increase

Quote from: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 08:34:41 am

A) Generalised perks, maybe. Make a list of suggestions. I'd suppose chars start with just one.

"A list"? I think you're missing the point: That characters would be able to make perks that best suited their own abilities.

Quote

B) Considering we will revise mana amount and/or mana costs of spells, it becomes less impressive, but yeah it might be nerfed to every 4 or 5 turns.

"In-combat" is pretty impressive compared to "every several hours," no matter how many turns it takes.

Quote

C) Maybe. I was just trying to resolve a common problem we have, that we are usualy in great numerical advantage, and if the penalty does not reset, villains would be pummelled to death rather quickly. The penalty reseting after being hit makes things more survivable, without making things entirely untouchable.

The solution? More than one enemy.

Quote

D) Well, I'm very reluctant to enter yet another stat to handle mundane perks. I am open to suggestions. Anyway, a guidelines for PCs is "just because you could does not mean you should". If someone takes high skill to have a high mundane skill, that person is welcome to put a smaller amount of points behind the number in brackets for combat - or maybe take low skill, and then a perk that increases it for the mundane skill?

Maybe something. It still feels wrong, though...

Quote

F) Non-attack magic falls into the descriptions the players put on their sheets, examples etc. When they then do some magicing out of combat, the GM compares the suggested action to the examples to see what kind of category it would fall in to determine mana costs and TN. Multiple types of magic as with Sanure do get balanced by them being weaker. They'd deal way less damage in regard to their mana cost, basicaly putting all of that kinda stuff up one category.
And yes, some magic does fall into fiat time. It's the GMs duty to look into just how powerful an action is to see if it is possible, give it appropriate mana cost and TN, and then narrate the result. That's what GMs do

I'm not sure how well that would work...especially since we told smurf that his role as GM wouldn't involve doing particularly much.

Quote

G) After combat, any players remaining alife will stabilize wounded players if they have time. The unconscious player still need a regen phase until the get back up and can act again.

Alright. Good to know that there are numbers.

Quote from: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 08:44:35 am

but yeah, scaling and balancing is still something all abilities will go through.

For the record, if we used GURPS as a guide for abilities, they would be pre-balanced.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 09:15:55 am

PN, maybe consider my rule example for the rift? A basic rift does not need to be medium, only as you increase certain fields (AoE, slow effect, difficulty to escape, damage if in center) gets increased to suit needs, it increases


also, we need to find a duration for the rift. I'd say base is 2 turns, and beyond that, needs to be kept up, that is to say after 2 turns, every further turn costs a point of mana, as a suggestion

and yes, they can be banished, by people who know their way around anti-magic, or who are summoners themselves, as summoners always also learn how to unsummon. they probably leanr how to unsummon before they even learn how to summon. Never call what you can't get rid off

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: PrivateNomad on June 01, 2014, 09:27:38 am

ICARUS, having the higher init, boosts her strength by 1.5, to 14 (16 mana remaining), and then proceeds to punch Alucard straight in the face!
[6]vs[2], she hits him square, dealing [6+3] vs [2] 7 damage! Alucard has 43 health remaining.


Alucard, wanting to settle things quickly goes all out on ICARUS, conjuring a void rift [7] and is succesfull, spending 5 mana (21 remaining). He tries to aim to get ICARUS into the center [10] vs [4+1-2], and is succesful. ICARUS takes [8] vs [2] 6 damage! While in the rift, her speed is decreased by 4. She has 44 Health remaining. Several people in the bar are also sucked in, panic erupts, a piano is slammed somewhere.

"If I hed mai real body I'mma killed you already!"


ICARUS attempts to escape the void rift [6] and just barely makes it out. She then updates her strength yet again and tries to smash Alucards head into the bar! [2] vs [3] Since either are pretty drunk, or so the low rolls suggest, she fails, still a bit shaken from the void rift.

Alucard tries to blast ICARUS with magic [2] vs [6] but the shot goes wide, and smashes a few bottles of booze on the wall!

Turn 3

Since ICARUS already escaped the void rift, maintaining it does nothing, unless he attempts to push ICARUS back in, however, one of the unlucky bargoers who was caught inside is now swallowed by the void.


"Bag to de void witcha!"

ICARUS continues boosting her strength in drunken rage, and attempts to throw Alucard right into his own rift! [11] vs [6] Alucard is grabbed and thrown! He smashes into the floor under the center, and is sucked in it, taking [11+3] vs [9] 5 damage from the throw, and [7] vs [5] 2 damage from his own rift!

He sends out a lash of void energy towards ICARUS! [11] vs [3], dealing [2] vs [1] measly 1 point of damage, perhaps being in his own rift distracted him!

I don't see why.

If Alucard's summon is completed in a single turn, and ICARUS acts second, the summon's done by the time ICARUS acts. If it's completed over multiple turns, ICARUS's turn comes up again before it's finished. Besides, if ICARUS expected this, she could ready an action.

ICARUS proceeds to take an ashtray, still with ignited cigarettes in it from the rapidly fleeing bar visitors, at Alucard, [6] vs [3], hitting him in the head [7] vs [2], dealing 5 damage and setting Alucard on fire oh god ICARUS is a psychopath afterall oh god. Alucard takes [3] fire damage, and will continue to to take 1d3 fire damage, ignoring armor, until he is extinguished.

Alucard attempts another summon, but he used his mana too liberaly. He finds himself unable to muster the strength to summon yet another one.

Since Alucard has no summoning rules yet, I will for now take Selina as referance, and to her summoning something with a stat total of 24 is a big spell, and that's the mana I deducted from Alucard for his summon, so it has a base of 24, divided by 8, that means the summon has 3 in all stats....oh hey look, we actually found something that requires patching in this test battle, summoning rules.

Since Alucard decided to spill ICARUS drink in a pre-patched bar however, the summoned tentacle thing just kinda pointless flails at ICARUS.

I think I'll go for 3 points of health per per point, and a 100 based, making things in total more distinct

obviously, summoning does not quite work yet. someone who actually uses summoning please try and make rules for that

If we use GURPS as an inspiration for the powers, we'll be able to make some rules fairly easily by tweaking the Ally rules. I've got a fair idea of how we would do so, if you're interested.

Quote from: Kansa on June 01, 2014, 12:02:32 pm

The one thing that seems like a problem is the number of turns, I think we might need cut the health down a bit.

Eight turns for two roughly-equally-matched combatants...assuming that it's going to be a bit longer for a bunch of people against the boss, and that there's one turn per day...aye, problematic.

((Yeah but I would prefer somewhat over powered enemies to having to waste skill points on Health. That hardly makes sense as it is.))

Enemies would still have higher stat totals and better equipment since they'll have to deal with a clusterfuck of people. This system just prevents them from becoming more overpowered than they should be.

E) Different weapons running off different skills to deal damage is too minmaxy. Someone who uses guns would not need and strength at all, but only skill, thus being able hit more often *and* deal more damage, all with the same stat. Similar things happen if damage for weapons would run of dex etc etc. So no, Strength stays the stat for physical damage, regardless of your weapon.

So what does Will's rifle use for it's possession roll? It's a piece of equipment that uses magic to stab people (rather ineffectually due to the tiny wounds produced) with intent on possession that causes organ failure.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 01:56:40 pm

if it's magic, it uses mag, and does magical damage. It's more or less a gun-shaped catalyst for a spell, that can be used even if Wills main ability is not causing organ failure

So I presume that Ashley's embargo katana and @Private_Nomad's enemy character with the other embargo blade also use magic to determine their attacks with those since they replace the actual physical effects of their respective blades?

Also, for each of them, are they enchanted weapons? Or innately magical weapons generated out of embargo?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

anyway, once Projeck is done reading up on the system, he may decide himself what's up with the fatigue katana. It doesn't need much GM heavy handedness, as it is simply a sword that deals non-lethal damage, instead of that overpowered rifle that I kinda hope GWG will never use. It definetly falls in the category of OP nonsense that we want to distance ourselves from, like the philosphers stone

I don't know, the only plot I actually plan on running is Alucard's plot and maybe another after Akroma's plot. You said that the Grim Reaper can enchant items when provided with the funds, such as the associative magic circle being drawn under a treasury, and given the appropriate sacrifice.

I don't suppose Wall Street entities care whether they use said enchantment for evil purposes?
Negating fundamental forces? So he could enchant a sword to completely negate the weak force on whatever it cuts, therefor slicing through something without resistance?

Not as in a PC.

---

Embargo is something associated with Wall Street, basically, it prevents a transaction. In @Projeck's case, the transaction of energy through the body, with each hit, less energy is allowed to be "traded" throughout the victim's body until they can no longer move. It doesn't so much drain energy so much as it seals it. In @Private_Nomad's case, the trade of W and Z bosons, the gauge bosons for weak force. Which means that electrons and nuclei are no longer held together. The end result is a "blade" that can pretty much cut through virtually all matter.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Projeck37 on June 01, 2014, 02:32:10 pm

The fatigue katana should simply lower the enemy's stats temporarily. Seeing as it takes energy to move, speed is reduced. Energy is required to punch hard, so strength is lowered. Then any other stats that the GM finds relevant to using energy to apply it.

The blade only has to hit to block the energy usage. But I suppose a typical Str vs RelevantStat roll after speed roll is won. And if you want to get technical, Ashley hitting someone with the blade would cause minor damage. And then I guess the difference between the Str vs RelevantStat roll is the negation to each stat that I stated above. If the Str roll fails, then the default is -2?

If you negate strong force I would presume that quarks inside protons and neutrons would get unbound. Those two baryons types consist of up and down quarks^{[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton)}. I'd presume those quarks would then just recombine elsewhere when the brief effects wear off. So I'd think it's less "nuclear explosion" more, "radioactive". Yeah, if they used that instead of weak force, they may want to invest in radiation protection.

That would probably be where nuking occurs. As in, nuclei wouldn't be repelled by their charges anymore so they may end up just drifting close enough for fusion to occur. Granted there's no net attractive force except at very close ranges, but it still may be unwise to use it.

Well, once PN and Cado, our two only summoners, have figured out how summons are supposed to work, and I guess KJ would present us with a rule suggestion for Personas, I guess the system and stat rebalance is done?


so we have


a) The setting we have into mostly covered. I suppose the future Admin-GM, Smurf is up to asking all the relevant questions needed for the setting, and we shall discuss those.


b) No longer an issue, Ashleys plot can still happen


c and d) Done once summoning and Personas are done, and will proceed to get done-er as we progress through e) the rebalancing of Abilities. Each players still has to stat their chars, which includes detailing their abilities


as far as the question who GMs this goes, I guess that is done too. progress!


info PN may need: Summons do not always need the same stat-base. A summon of an entity with a minor spell would simply be an incomplete summon, and thus weaker than it could be. Minor and Medium spells could summon low-tier entities, with base 25 or 50 respectively. Starting here we have strong low-tier entities, or very incomplete summons of horned entities with a big spell at 75, and 100 with an enormous spell. Even bigger summons with 125 or even 150 base depend on wether Alucard actually has the mag stat to pull such a summon off, these summons always take two turns as a drawback. The summoning spells would just follow standard spell rules, except that a summoning circle would be needed.


possible additions like proper sacrifices, star-constellations and whatever might increase the effectiveness of a summon, or for some cases, their abscene would make it less effective. Once summoned, the summons first action is free, if that action is some big magic stuff, or their first 3 attacks are free, if the summoned unit is to stay longer than one big action or 3 attacks, Alucard would have to pay some mana of his own to keep them here every 3 rounds for minors, every round for horned entities, making summoning rather mana intensive

It wouldn't be very efficient, seeing as it would only take place in the field and having any significant fusion would probably blow stuff away from the field.

---

Come to think of it, it probably doesn't matter whether that blade in question is an enchanted weapon or innately magical. It really only matters for Ashley's katana since it would be weaker.

Which means, if it's a katana that has been enchanted into it's current form, trying to cross swords with that other blade would just result in the katana being severed. It'd still be enchanted, just cleaved in twain. If it's embargo manifesting in a seemingly solid form of a katana, then both weapons would just phase through one another.

Can we define void-teleportation as not truly being in the void but rather just outside it in the transition between Void and Creation? Because otherwise, it makes no sense why people who live in the void would need to pay mana to move around their house. Not to mention that it also explains why they don't end up running through random void entity's homes.

It'd make more sense to use mana to switch between the void and the Creation, rather than how long you spend in the void.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on June 01, 2014, 03:07:01 pm

It would, but it would also be rather unbalanced seeing as A: that would make teleportation cost the same regardless of distance and B: basically allow voidwalkers to just switch out, get medical attention, have a nap, possibly a nice lunch whilst listening to some music whilst recovering all their mana and teleporting back in with seemingly little to no time having past.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

Yeah, the issue is, there must be a limit to prevent someone from phasing out and popping back in having had a nice nap to recover mana as well as preventing people from teleporting massive distances with as much cost as they would have teleporting a centimeter.

What would the reason be lore-wise?
Also, the ratio of time spent in Void to time spent in Creation is approximately 1:521 (using Ashley's 10 years in Void = 1 week in Creation, ignoring leap years and rounded down). That is, a void walker can spend a bit over eight and a half minutes in Void and pop back into Creation 1 second after they popped out. Which means that the "blind idiot" way of detecting the invisible and illusions actually becomes viable. Not to mention that it makes voidwalking cost the same regardless of distance.

If your talking about the teleportation on the bracelets, I deeply regret ever making that a thing actually as it added to the chaos and wish I hadn't.

For summoning: The duration in my mind could be the amount over the TN rolled Plus 2 for turns. That seems fair to me really. As for the stats of the summoning... well, I guess that'll be a topic of debate and balancing for a little bit.

For the time needed to complete the summoning, I think the higher on the magic table it is (Small, medium, Big, enourmous, etc) the amount of turns it would require to summon. 1 turn for small, 3 for medium, 5 for big/large, 7, 9, 11, etc.

Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 03:25:48 pm

I think teleportation should cost more for long distances, but also for teleporting with you more than just what you usualy have on you.


Negliable: the next room, just what you have on you


small: other town, or next room with passenger


medium: other nation, or other town with passenger, three passengers


big: other continent, other nation with passenger, other town with 3 passengers, 6 passengers

etc


Cado, check the rules I suggested for the stats, the duration may actually be a good idea. But I don't think they should take quite that long to summon.
What do you think PN?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: RangerCado on June 01, 2014, 03:28:36 pm

Maybe 1 for small, 1-3 for medium, 3-5 for big, 5-7, 7-9? Make a chance thing? And your stat numbers work.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 01, 2014, 03:33:33 pm

small and medium summons are weak enough to be summoned instantly, really. big summons would need one extra turn, enormous 2, then 3, then 4 etc. Missing a turn is a huge drawback, especialy if what you summon may just act once or twice.

the stat totals don't have to be centered on a single summon either, for instance with a big summon, you summon 75 points of stats, that could be 3 25 summons, or heck putting the lower limit of stats on 1, could be 9 summons with 8 in stats, like some sort of bat-swarm

because when I brought up the system currently discussed, most people commented it was a good idea, while those who commented on gurps mostly seemed to not like it. In short, stop trying to make gurps happen, it's not going to happen.

She still usually wears gloves though.

Lunette also enchanted it to be always sharp and cut through things with greater ease. It should be at least a +5 damage bonus.

Also, working on sheet for new character. Just working out spell stuff and then it should be sorta presentable.

look alright to me, though for an enormous spell, a d12 seems a tad bit low. Maybe make that a d4 for for minor, d4+2 for lesser, 2d4+2 for medium and 2d4+4 for major? Same maximum value, but on average, a higher minimal result.


what kinda damage would the lightning do? Just damage based on mag I guess?

edit: the laws of the universe demands that Alice and Selina must now have a cattest fight

Yeah, it'd allow her to make a basic magic attack, without the option to overcharge it with mana. Given that it's a ranged attack and she can't do magic attacks normally, it's pretty useful for Alice.

Post by: USEC_OFFICER on June 01, 2014, 04:42:59 pm

Spoiler: Dalia Simoneit (click to show/hide)

Name: Dalia Simoneit
Age: 17
Description: Dalia is of average height, with a skinny build that makes her look taller than she actually is. She has long brown hair worn loosely, and bright green eyes set in an oval face. She's not stunningly beautiful, but not ugly either. Just generically pretty. Despite being 17 years old she doesn't suffer from acne, except for the occasional ones. She usually wears dark but plain dresses, but has some other clothes if the occasion calls for it. All in all she looks like a normal teenage girl... unless one can detect mana. On her back is some strange creature, with long, wiggling tentacles that fade into nothingness and a single massive eye on its front. It is completely incorporeal, meaning that normal matter passes through it so it can only be affect my magic and enchanted items. Attempts to remove the creature from Dalia's back have caused her great pain and distress, and since it doesn't actually seem to do anything harmful it has been left as it is. Obviously the file on her power notes the existence of this creature and several warnings about it, though it doesn't actually have any connections to her magic powers.

Stats: 100/100
Health: 8 [24]
Mana: 22 [44]
Speed: 15
Skill: 12
Strength: 10 (13)
Magic: 17
Defence: 8 (9)
Resistance: 8

Perks: Lucky by Comparison: Has a 33% chance to avoid any targeted attacks. She loses 1 mana whenever this perk activates successfully.

Equipment: Lucky Charm: +1 Defence. A plate of stamped metal that seems to stop attacks more than it should.
Kitchen Knife: +3 damage. One of the bigger ones too. Scared and scarred its fair share of muggers and thieves.

Ability: Capable of Bringing Misfortune
Dalia is a walking lightning rod of bad luck. When she's in the area milk spoils quicker, the toilet backs up more often, and keys always seem to disappear when you need them most. In other words life gets rather annoying without ever really getting worse. However Dalia is immune to this power, and never suffers directly from it. In battle she can concentrate and focus this misfortune to curse enemies temporarily. It's use as an attack is negligible at best, but her targets will have trouble dodging attacks, hitting with their own, and other things as their luck turns against them.

Examples: The effects of Dalia's ability are not obvious at all, and could easily be explained away as something else if a person could not detect her magic powers. Examples of her power in effect would be: Your weapon jamming/malfunctioning, faulty ammo, sights not aligned perfectly, tripping/improperly placed feet, sudden muscle cramps, sudden distractions, lack of focus, sneezing, allergies, blinking at the wrong moments, panic attacks, stuttering, sudden nervousness, gaps appearing in armour, equipment breaking and similar things. Essentially things that could realistically happen to someone in a fight to reduce their effectiveness.

Negligible: Curses someone with minor misfortune, causing them some mild inconvenience in the future.

Small: Curses someone with immediate misfortune. Reduces one stat by 2, until the start of her next turn. (TN: No roll, 2 Mana)

Medium: Curses someone with great misfortune. Reduces one stat by 4 or two stats by 2, until the start of her next turn. (TN: 3, 4 Mana)

Big: Curses someone with large misfortune. Reduces one stat by 6, or two by 4 or three by 2, until the start of her next turn. (TN: 6, 6 Mana)

Enormous: Curses someone with terrible misfortune. Reduces one by 8, two by 6, three by 4, or four by 2, until the start of her next turn. (TN: 6 + Immobilized, 8 Mana)

Gigantic: Curses someone with enormous misfortune. Reduces one stat by 10, two by 8, three by 6, four by 4, or five by 2, until the start of her next turn. (TN: 6 + Immobilized + d3 damage to caster, 10 Mana)

Power could really use some balancing, I think, but at least you get the general gist of it. Or something. At least my new character is partly finished.

---

Because Smurf is lazy as heck, Dalia's current sheet is here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139176.msg5346975#msg5346975)

I'll take that as permission to buff her powers up then. :P _{And change her a perk too.}

Still thinking of examples of stat lowering though. It'd be mostly along the lines of reduced reaction times, sudden cramps and the like.

Hence why I took it at first, since it's definitely helps with her ability. Minorly debuffing an enemy for 1 mana is much more useful than doing it for 2 mana.

Almost no one has commented on GURPS, and absolutely no one has commented on the GURPS-assisted version of your system* that I've been proposing ever since you fleshed out yours. Moreover, no one's actually given reasons for disliking GURPS. And that really bugs me. It's like you don't even care what I say.

*Which, to summarize, basically has us using GURPS to figure out what kind of set of abilities and perks would be balanced to give a character.

Bartimaeus
XP: 535

"What I saw deceived my eyes, my sense, and my very fabric of understanding; my very being warping together anew as it entwined into its essence, a phenomenon heard not of. A human soul and uncreated essence bonding together with eldritch magic forbidden to human and uncreated knowledge - I got onto a train with no stop when I did it. But I knew it would preserve my existence in Creation." - Dr. Alucard Faucheuse, on page 31 of "Quintessential Fabrics and Eldritch Magics"

Stats    (116)
 HP------15 [45]
 MP------15 [45]
 SPEED---15
 SKILL---15
 STR-----15
 MAG----15
 DEF-----13
 RES-----13


Perks
 Supercharged Essence - Each point of MP is worth 3 mana.
 Adaptive Essence - SP is calculated by STR/3.

Equipment
 Shaded Edge - +5 Damage, -3 to Skill. Whenever an enemy is struck, an aura surrounds them. 2 turns later, a 55 stat pool shadow appears, that has locked 0 STR, and 15 MAG. (The rest is up to the user). Stacks when multiple enemies are attacked in one turn.

Spoiler: Powers (click to show/hide)

Ability: Power of the void--Bartimaeus is capable of shapeshifting any aspect of himself--his form, voice, personality, and even has a wide variety of magic.

(http://i.imgur.com/im5wDcF.png) Shapeshifting - Bartimaeus can change forms at will. This costs 2 mana to do so, but he can shapeshift and attack in the same turn. His stats change to suit the form he's in.

(http://i.imgur.com/0Vb87Mj.png) Detonation - Bartimaeus severs a part of his essence and explodes it, dealing damage in an AoE.

(Tentative stat-line for Stella, tried to be thematic, but not OP please rate)

Health : 20

Defense : 15

Resistance : 15

Skill : 10

Speed : 5

Strength : 15

Mana : 10

Magic : 10

HP: 60
MP: 20

Perk: Creature of Magic (Health Perk)
Non Magical Damage (Magical weapons and attacks from the natural armaments of other magic creatures count as magic) Regenerates more quickly (need balanced numbers, plus adjudication I guess)

Special Features (Attempting to simulate her being a dragon (and bigger than most of the team) without overpowering her)
- Scales (+1 to defense in half dragon form +3 in full dragon form) (Taken from armour stats (she does get the speed penalty but its in the next bit))
- Big Target (In full dragon form Stella is a much bigger target and her inertia prevents more agile manouvers; -1 speed except for straight linear movement)
- Lifting Strength (In full dragon form Stella's Strength for non-combat purposes is multiplied by 1.5)
- Organic Flight (For long distance flight, Stella adds her Strength (ignoring the lifting strength feature) to her speed to determine how fast she travels)
- Creature of Fire (No damage or penalties from fire and heat based abilities/weapons, double damage/penalties (before resistance) from cold based abilities/weapons)
- Toxic Blood (Stella's Blood is a potent, skin permeable toxin, any enemy using an edged weapon (in melee) against Stella must roll dodge (TN: 5) made easier by 1 point per 2 the skill roll exceeded hitting STella) or take 1 damage per round per 5 points of damage inflicted on Stella) (biut wary about this one but I want numbers on her weird blood even if it never comes up)
- Magic Blood (If Stella's Blood can be collected, true magic users can draw the natural magic from within it; Regenerating 1 Mana per point of health the injury that provided the blood inflicted - the blood is not consumed)

Equipment
- Super Spandex Suit (+1 defense against piercing and slashing type attacks, also prevents Stella's blood splashing around from such attacks while worn; immune to destruction for non-plot reasons and fits her in any form)

Natural attacks (Tennative)
- Fangs and Claws, Normal quality equivilent (+3)
- Tail Slap, A Crushing attack using the muscles from entirety of Stella's Body (+7) However She must be on the ground to use it AND the attack is strongly telegraphed and requires her to stop looking at her target a small amount of time before striking (-2 to hit)
- Wing Slam, When not flying Stella Can Slam her wings into a target, Her wing Muscles are stronger (+5) But wings are fragile and easily hurt she also must roll her own defence (nor scales or amour) against the attack, taking half damage and preventing her wings from being used in that number of turns (For flying OR attacking); also causes a lot of pain to herself regardless of if she receives damage

Magic:

Negligible
- Fire Bolt (Small puff of flame, dealing magic as damage, does not last long enough to ignite target)
- Kindle (Lights flammable on fire)

Small
- Blast of flame (Cone of fire damage)
- Cloud of Smoke (penalizes all (including allied) non area attacks at half magic value for 4 turns)
- Ignite (A Wash of flame over a single target Magic damage plus ignites target (dealing a quarter of the damage initially dealt (min 1) ignoring resistance) until they take a turn to put themselves out)
- Fire Lance (Magic damage- Grows in damage by .5 magic every turn the same target is hit until Stella misses/does not continue/ or changes target)
- Superheat (Stella superheats her fangs, adding her magic roll to physical damage with her fangs for the turn)

- Cleanse (Stella uses the metaphoric cleansing aspect of fire, removing (or having a chance to remove) ongoing effects on the target. Stella must reach TN 2 for this effect but also deals her magic as damage, TN4 deals no damage)
- Immolate (as ignite but base damage is 1.5 Magic and an immolated target only has a 50/50 chance to remove the fire without special effects (such as water magic))
- Strong Blast of Flame (Cone of 1.5 Magic as fire damage)
- Thermal Lance (Stella uses Concentrated Heat (1.5 magic, no damage but any that penetrates resistance is dealt as a temporary penalty to armour only (not base defense stat of creature) ))

Big
- Incinerate (as immolate but 2 times magic as base damage and Fire may only be put out by magic, or complete smothering)
- Fire Wave (Cone of 2 times magic damage)
- White Fire (Single target 2.5 times magic damage, TN 3 and May not use her magic abilities next turn)

On an underground tech-forum he learns of the mistress. He asks her to put Hilda Koubeks soul in the robot he built. the mistress explains she can not. But she offers him an alternative. In exchange for Eduard Gerbers soul, she takes the robot, upgrades it, and installs her servant Hanaestil. She gives Hanaestil the task to simulate the behaviour of Hilda Koubek, as described by Eduard Gerber. They live together for 3 years. Eduard Gerber is not satisfied. He is burdened by his guilt, and the knowledge that this is not the real Hilda Koubek. He orders Hanaestil to uninstall and delete all files. He now finishes his plan and commits suicide.

GWG, If you would kindly post the basic synopsis of the GURPS rules, the parts that matter, I will gladly read it and look at what could and couldn't work.

Spoiler: Basic Rules (click to show/hide)

You have four Attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Health. These mostly increase skills, increase secondary characteristics, and let you qualify for things; they have remarkably little direct impact on the game. DX and IQ are more useful than the others, and hence cost twice as many points. (More on that later.)
There are a bunch of Secondary Characteristics, from Hit Points and Fatigue Points to Basic Move and Basic Lift. For the most part, these have little effect beyond their own narrow spheres of influence; they're pretty simple to derive from the Attributes, especially if you're letting me handle the number-crunching like I've volunteered to do.
Skills are fairly simple once you have the numbers: Roll 3d6 and if you roll less than the skill's number, you succeed. For more randomness and fewer dice (easier with random.org), a single d20 is close enough. Skills are calculated from Attributes; you can also default to them. Although there are dozens of skills, you can safely ignore most of them. Most people will be using less than half a dozen.
Advantages and Disadvantages are pretty simple. Pay the (point) cost, you get the advantage; take the disadvantage, and you get more points. The point cost or payout can be modified with modifiers, but if we don't need to go that detailed we don't have to.

Spoiler: Points and Character Creation (click to show/hide)

Character creation in GURPS is entirely points-based. You get (say) 200 points, and can spend them on Advantages, Skills, Attributes, Secondary Characteristics, or whatever. Attributes, Secondary Characteristics, and Advantages have a flat point cost*; Skills have a point cost depending on how high above the base value you want to raise them. Harder skills have a lower base value, but that's about it; basically, "Hard" skills have levels two lower than "Easy" skills**.

*Well, Advantages sometimes come in levels, and as noted previously you can apply modifiers to tweak how it works.
**There's also Average, which is between the two, and Very Hard, which is a step above Hard.

(Note: If we want to use the system proposed by Akroma, the above would be pretty easy to add in as a way to determine precisely what powers/perks/etc are "balanced". Which is what I've been proposing ever since I noticed that people liked Akroma's system.)

Spoiler: Magic (click to show/hide)

Mechanical magic (ie, what the game system considers "magic") is composed of spells. An Advantage called Magery lets you learn and cast spells; levels above the basic let you cast all spells better. Spells are skills. There are several given options that let you tweak how you learn and cast spells.
There's also Advantages, which can be refluffed as being divine gifts, magic, psi, whatever. Making one vulnerable to antimagic or somesuch (ie, making it magic-powered) gives a slight discount.

Spoiler: Damage (click to show/hide)

Combat, and more specifically for the present conversation, damage seems pretty complex. However, it's mostly a set of options. You can attack, or perform an all-out attack, or feint, or...but if you just want to attack, that's easy enough. Assuming the player and GM don't add in complicating modifiers. (But they're there if you want them.)
One specific note is damage, which comes in a variety of types. Burning, cutting, impaling, piercing, large piercing...it all seems complex, but for all but the esoteric ones like fatigue, burning, and corrosive, it's pretty much just a matter of multiplying damage after it goes through armor. Cutting damage, for instance, deals half again as much actual HP damage as rolled after subtracting armor. This will complicate converting damage from GURPS advantages and such to FE damage, but once we set up a few little rules, it'll be simple.

TL;DR: GURPS is useful for powers and perks. While people think it's complicated, it's just simple with lots of choices.

Any specific queries or things you want clarified further?

It fires a beam of energy particles, not actual matter. And plus the energy is moving at 0.5c, but that's still pretty fast. Fast enough to not be able to be dodged.

Damnit, I was halfway through my own post on gurps. Whatever, I put 20 minutes into it, I'm finishing it and poisting it anyway.  :P

Welp, here it is:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ah, GURPS! my favourite system. As an overview:

GURPS Stands for Generic Universal Roleplaying System, and that's an accurate description. GURPS can be used for just about any game, but it takes some work to set up. The basics of GURPS are simple: you have a bunch of character points, probably somewhere from 100 (Extraordinary human, baseline advnturer) to 1000 (Godlike, High tier superhero). You can spend these on attributes, skills, and advantages, and you can get more by taking disadvantages up to a limit, usually around 50 points or so. Skills are based off of attributes, and cost progressively more CP per level, up to a cap, while attributes and advantages usually have a static cost per level, if they come in levels. There are rules for technological skills, martial arts, and MANY different magic systems. These things mostly work well together, though there are various traps to watch out for. GURPS is based around realistic games, either set in the present, or in a mundane historical setting. It can do more exotic settings quite well, but it brings it's realistic approach with it. You can do ultra silly super cinematic games with it, but it takes a lot of work. I personally rather like this realistic approach, but if that's not what you want you may wish to use a different system unless you are familiar with GURPS.

Next, things GURPS has to offer:

• Detailed and varied character creation. You are not restricted to using classes, you can make any kind of character you can imagine (And have the points for).
• Detailed Combat: target and cripple individual limbs, civision between armor and dodging/blocking/parrying, detailed combat options.
• Realistic chracters: A powerful wizard does not automatically have the potential to shrug off a baseball bat to the head unless he casts a spell or spends character points on the ability.
• Many different magic systems: Default magic as skills, The power of Sorcery, Divine Favor, Psi, Chi, Ritual Path Magic, etc, etc.
• More options than you can shake a stick at: Want to do X? There are probably rules for it already.
• Less randomness: The likelyhood that you will randomly fail at something for no reason is significantly decreased.

Now, a quick guide on using GURPS. GURPS has dozens of optional rules for use in different situations, depending on the genre and how cinematic/realistic/gritty your game is. You'll need to decide before hand which of these you wish to use, and plan accordingly. You will also need to make sure you apportion enough points for people to make their characters, but not so many they get out of hand. You'll need to watch what disadvantages people take, and make sure they work within your setting and that people actually suffer disadvantages from them, and don't just ignore them. Finally, remember that GURPS relies very heavily on the active use of rule zero: The GM Makes the Rules. Thus, it's up to him to catch when someone is pulling a fast one and say "No, you can't put every single point in strength."

Lore

Spoiler: The Other Place (click to show/hide)

The Other Place is a mysterious dimension that lays hidden in the void, concealed by its energies. Strange entities are from the void, such as Bartimæus (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5331995#msg5331995). It is implied that the sultanes' influence only reach the Other Place a little, but the void domains have strongholds inside of it.

• Very mysterious, almost has never been tapped into by magicians.
• Said to contain a great power, yet the power has not been tapped into. Yet.
• The entities contained within can come together and form spheres of essence, sharing all the experiences and things they have seen when they return to the Other Place. Basically the way they converse to each other--if one attempted to listen to them, they would only hear an incomprehensible string of mysterious words.

Known Entities of the Other Place:
~Bartimæus (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5331995#msg5331995)
~Queezle
   An entity who Bartimæus had a love for, but died nearly 3000 years ago when another powerful entity destroyed her essence. To this day, her whereabouts are unknown.
~Selkihm
   A powerful entity of Targunitoth, the void domain of undeath. It is implied that he destroyed Bartimæus once a long time ago in a duel. He does not like the Void Gate, and has spoken with both Bartimæus and Ashley before.

As to the first bit, it matters little at those speeds. Unless you're firing neutrinos, but who would make a neutrino-based weapon?
As to the second, the trick to dodging something moving at half the speed of light is much the same as dodging something moving half the speed of sound: Keep an eye on the firer and don't be where he's aiming.

I've been there. Except that I usually finish the post before noticing that I got ninja'd.
Your post certainly gives a more in-depth look at the GURP System than mine did. Though I'd like to note that, if you're offering more than one kind of challenge, "putting every point into Strength" or somesuch isn't too helpful. My brother likes to sink every point he has into skills like Guns and various Melee Weapon skills, plus some related advantages and such, and he typically ends up being worthless at most everything except combat. (That might also be because he tends to antagonize NPCs, but...well...the min/maxing doesn't help.)
Another note: Angle makes GURPS sound complicated, and it is...if you use all the rules. Pretty much no one does. Pick and choose the rules you need. At the core, there's just character creation (in my opinion, the gem of the system) and "roll 3d6 and try to go low".

Spoiler: Frederica (click to show/hide)

Frederica Sawyer
Female
Age: 23
Description:
Frederica is a cleaner, a person who executes people in the most brutal ways possible. Though she doesn't hunt out people to kill, she is brought them by verious Mafia groups or Triads due to her being the "best" in the business. While on the job, she wears a similair outfit to that as a surgeon, usually wearing goggles and a facemask. Otherwise she is wearing gothic attire. Sawyer has a large cut going across her jugular. Her voicebox was destroyed and thus she now depends on a ultravoice to talk. She suffers from Melencholia and will hve a mental breakdown if she loses her Ultravoice. Her prefered tool of the trade is a thick-bladed chainsaw over half-her-height long that allows her to deflect rapid gun-fire with horrifying ease, although this can still push her back. She has worked with Samson and Shade on jobs before, though it is unknown if she considered them her "friends". If a person were to look her in the eyes, they would see the same eyes as Samson's, the eyes of a soldier.

Eh, let me stat up Kyle.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Kyle Johnson
Male
Age: 18
Description:  A tall 18 year old with brown eyes and hair that wears glasses. In the back of his pants is a cold steel machete. He wears what looks like a bulky version of the SPARTAN armor.

 MP------5 [10]
 SPD-----10 (+1)
 SKL-----15 (+1)
 STR-----10 (+1)
 MAG----- 16

 RES-----14

Perks:
Physical resistance:  All physical attacks do half damage.
Technical genius:  Allows construction of technical marvels. (I.e. Power armor)

Equipment
Power armor:  Gives bonus stats and +5 HP
Machete:  +2 strength
Mana sucker pistol:  Can suck mana from opponents as well as firing in various modes.

Ability: Kyle can use various skills via a persona. (Note, I support the persona only appearing for skills like it does in the game.)

Negligible-
Sukukaja: Merlin boosts the speed and agility of an ally.
Twin Shot: Merlin strikes his enemies with two blasts of force.

It fires a beam of energy particles, not actual matter. And plus the energy is moving at 0.5c, but that's still pretty fast. Fast enough to not be able to be dodged.

As to the first bit, it matters little at those speeds. Unless you're firing neutrinos, but who would make a neutrino-based weapon?

Well, if you have a rifle that fires a lethal dose of neutrinos that really good aim/intel, you'd be able to snipe people through the planet :P Probably not the most efficient but it certainly does have a degree of style.

KJ:
sorry, but without some drawbacks, armor that gives kyle a total of +15 to stats is just unfair compared to everyone else who stuck to the recommended guidelines of starting equipment not exceeding 8 bonus points at the start. For orientation, look at Winries Power Armor. Winries main ability is Technomancy. Kyles main ability is the persona stuff on the side, and technology is mostly a mundane skill. It should, at the very least, not be stronger than that. As it is, it is 3 times stronger. Not balanced.


I am also against Kyle having just 1 in Mag. Mag represents all supernatural powers, that includes his persona and how good he is at using it. At mag 1, he'd be just barely able to handle negliable uses. Told you, minmaxing in this system is difficult. (also, but this might just be a mistake, it's 60 HP, not 65, with 20 in health)


Sanure: I am not sure if twisted frenzy, an attack that attacks *everyone*, should be anything lower than big. Also a reminder, to be able to access enormous magical tasks, a mag of 12 is needed at least.))


Also a reminde to PN, looking at Winry for example, remember that low mag means low powers. Winry will not be technomancing much with only 5 mag

Post by: Akroma on June 02, 2014, 06:13:25 am

no, I mean that non-essential PCs may suddenly find that an attack they might have dodged hit them anyway. In previous games, everybody had like 2-5 characters, and the sheer amount left enemies swarmed and made combat needlessly complicated and anticlimatic at the same time. We were not planning on continueing that, so some moderation in the char amount might be best.


Speaking of which, why the new char Sanure? Don't ditch Sen please.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: smurfingtonthethird on June 02, 2014, 06:18:27 am

Wait, people had multiple active characters? That's a pain, especially if it gets metagamey.

Should we limit the amount of active chars per person, or at least separate them (per person)?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 02, 2014, 06:21:16 am

well, some multiple chars are fine. Alucard/Bartimaeus are basicaly the same character fused into one, and HILDA I believe is plot relevant. Lizzy and Winry seem superflous though.

I suppose having a second character is be fine, but should try to be unintrusive during combat at least


then again with the teleport ban in and out of combat (unless that is an active ability like with Ashley or Sen), enemies will get swarmed less. If your character is not at the scene of the fight, he is unlikely to make it there in time

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on June 02, 2014, 06:22:11 am

How about setting a limit of one character per player per encounter?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: smurfingtonthethird on June 02, 2014, 06:26:07 am

That'll work, unless the chars have a reason to work together, in which case we'll need to ass pull to get them separated.

Why not make the enemies more dynamic? As PC's join in a death ball, enemies get tougher and more numerous (or maybe their gear just gets better), so that the death ball can't roll over everything so easily.

How about this? People can teleport  in or out of combat, they need to spend two consecutive turns channeling magic into their bracelet and the person they are teleporting need to do so as well. This thus only allows people to teleport to people with consent. Furthermore, it allows people to summon reinforcements if for whatever reason there is a lull in combat.

So the Void sorta creates 'danger zones' which take time to breach? I dunno, just trying to think of a way to rationalise it.

This'll work though, but the enemy will be allowed to call in support if it's applicable. We don't want every single PC deathballing a single boss without it upgrading or calling in reinforcements.

I was thinking more like the bracelets don't possess nearly enough magical power to teleport thus requiring magic input yet due to having not been designed originally for such a purpose and due to their small size, it takes a while to sequestrate the input magic (I'd presume it goes off of volume or surface area).

Or seeing as it's been five years, people have gotten used to such tactics and have created countermeasures against those options.

I don't see why enemies couldn't. It does make sense for them to try and call reinforcements or escape.

Well magic is no longer secret and seeing as mundane weapons were ineffective, research probably would have been devoted to mass producing any available means of leveling the playing field. Still it may offer a breath of fresh air to magic as well, I mean, if reusable magic circles with auto-recharging magic capacitors can be minimized, you could potentially re-purpose the technology for microchips to instead create layered sandwiches of tiny magic circles, possibly allowing mass enchantment/production. This is favorable seeing as it decreases the relative power of magic as things like a bullet to the head become viable options again.

People were already beginning to use magic for profit so that would likely continue.

Plus if anyone looked underneath the IRS headquarters, they may or may not find a giant magical circle. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5191808;topicseen#msg5191808)

Maybe?


I think for the setting, every player should write down 1-3 tidbits for stuff about the settings they'd like so, with explanations as to why they make sense etc, and then we compile them. If everyone adds something, already the setting becomes rather fleshed out.




a) Anti-magic fields, like IRIS already used them years ago have become relatively common, if expensive. The government uses them to cover most public areas and buildings, but private corporations, like banks, can also obtain licenses to protect their buildings from magic. Vigilantism is less and less tolerated, especialy if the magic used for it is harmful. Private companies need a license for anti-magic fields, and need to respect whitelists. Many magic communites are protesting against the fields quite regularly.


b) All magic users need to be registered, and if they want to use their magic in public, they need a license, so they can be whitelisted from the anti-magic fields. Get caught magicing in public without a license, and the punishment depends mostly on what you were doing, but is usualy handled demonstratively strict, to get the message across. Get caught without being registered at all and trouble awaits. These licenses require both a psychological evaluation and proof that you have your ability under controle.


c) There is a bit of tension going on in business, where magic simply out-performs traditional craft. A good example would be healers for example, who can deal with so many things within minutes and with little problem where traditional medicine has great trouble. However as medical magic services vary a LOT in quality, most insurance companies don't pay for them, making that kinda stuff something for the rich - further increasing tension. Meanwhile traditional doctors earn less and less, despite having spent so much time and money on education. Similar developments can be seen in many branches of business.

Interesting, that would shift the power balance towards users of The Twilight would it not? Since Creation and Void can get blocked yet The Twilight can't really get fully blocked unless you find a way to generate something to cancel out each subtype and then have all of those fields active simultaneously without interfering with one another...

Yeah, normally that would be the case, however, Persona may have proliferated due to having a reliable way to grant it. Also, from my understanding of analytical psychiatry, generally, the older the person, the better, as they would have had more experience presenting a facade to their world possibly resulting in more powerful personae. So there is always the chance that veteran soldiers may be equipped with them.

well, obviously they can just pretend not to have magic, and many probably do. Many are not registered. Thing is, if you are able to conjure nuclear explosions, the government wants to know that you can, even if they are not going to let you do it.

And of course you would automaticaly get registered when you apply for the whitelist, even if you get denied

Ok new point: 3rd world countries are clamoring for magic citizens to reveal themselves as a way to close the gap between themselves and the developed world, such magicians are being state sponsored as a matter of course with any past crimes wiped off the book and a blind eye generally turned for low level crimes they may commit.

There are small communities that came together because they believe the growing magic is a sign of the end times, they hold up with munitions stores that are frankly absurd for their size. And shoot anyone found to be a magician without question, these are mostly breakaway religious groups, but some "scientific" people that refuse to believe their eyes can be found as well.

Magical creatures are generally seen as a boon in society, but are also treated by most as outsiders, this is not helped that some are able to easily replace most unskilled labour with a cheaper alternative, even if paying more per individual

Well, an obvious change in the five years is a boon in science. With access to a mostly under researched field now available, nearly every scientist has started to analyse how magic relates with other universal forces (and how it gets away with breaking rules of physics), how it integrates with biology and morphology, the material aspects of enchanted materials, using magic to make extremely small transistors, integrating wire-based technology and magic circles, the maths and physics behind teleportation and summoning, more weapon designs then you can poke a stick at, the possibilities seem to be endless.

There's been massive advances in magical theory and applications as a result, starting off another technological solution. This decade is the dawn of a new era for mankind, especially for its technology.

Another change is that humanity isn't alone anymore, it shares the planet with a whole host of new sentient species. As per our normal ways, xenophobia initially follows, quickly followed up by the key trait of the 21st century: the social requirement to be tolerant. Generally, people are fine with them, so long as they aren't being really weird or terrifying. More and more non-humans pop up in public, some causing chaos, most just trying to fit in, and multiple industries attempt to account for that. Service industries are revolutionised to account for a whole new caste of customers, public structures are slowly modified so any species can use them, and multiple cultural exchanges happen all at once, leaving sentients with entirely different cultures to explore.

comparative example. For ICARUS, increasing 3 stats by that amount is a big spell, which costs 6 mana for every turn she uses that. And Kyle just starts with that?


frankly, Kyle ignores any and all of the balancing rules. The armor is frankly broken, and by simply ignoring that powers run of the mag stat, you minmaxed Kyle to absurdity - exactly the kind of stuff you have been complaining about. Or was it when you said "there will always be minmaxing" you meant "I will always be minmaxing"? If you want to godmod, v3 might not be the game for you. Everybody plays by the same rules.

not just for me, but also for PN, Cado, Usec, Kansa, Wolfchild, Sanure, Projeck, GWG (I would assume?), also Emp and Smurf whod espite not playing are putting effort into balancing things, and for anybody else who may yet join.


this is a game we are all playing, not just us playing a game for you. That includes everybody playing by the same rules. As a child, did you also always claim you had a bullet proof vest when someone pointed their stick at you and said bang?


That being said, there is more to a character than "his stats are much better than everyone elses" as a defining characteristic

Pretty hard to pin down what, exactly, is unbalanced, isn't it? Oh, you know Kyle's unbalanced, but you can't give him specific examples of how he can tone down the power level while keeping the Kyle he knows and loves.

Again, if we were taking a page from GURPS as far as balancing abilities goes, it would be easier to figure these kinds of questions out.

It fires a beam of energy particles, not actual matter. And plus the energy is moving at 0.5c, but that's still pretty fast. Fast enough to not be able to be dodged.

As to the first bit, it matters little at those speeds. Unless you're firing neutrinos, but who would make a neutrino-based weapon?

Well, if you have a rifle that fires a lethal dose of neutrinos that really good aim/intel, you'd be able to snipe people through the planet :P Probably not the most efficient but it certainly does have a degree of style.

Not exactly easy, though. (http://what-if.xkcd.com/73/) Assuming that you'r sniping that person from 2/3 of the planet's diameter away, the required neutrinos increase with the square of the distance (reasonable, since that's how most things roll), and that you're firing the neutrinos in about a 0.1-degree arc (unreasonable, but I need a number), you'd still need about 1.7_E-13 supernovae to kill someone with neutrinos like that. It might not sound like much, but supernovae are freaking big. Assuming the same light:neutrino ratio of a supernova, your weapon would be brighter from literally a million miles away than detonating a nuclear weapon pressed against your eyeball (WARNING! Do not try at home). (Assuming xkcd is precisely correct and a supernova from an AU away is 10⁹ times brighter than said nuke, they have equal brightness at 1.212 million miles.)
In case you haven't figured it out yet, my point is that whatever you're using to generate that many neutrinos is probably going to be more devastating than the neutrinos themselves. (Kinda like 500-mph winds.)

Hmm... I wonder if true magic-based enchantments could be powered with doses of Stella's blood, specifically magical bullets, forming something similar to a Raufoss Mk211 thus using both its corrosive effects and magical properties to enhance the bullet's damage.

That depends. Is the person who is taking the doses doing so with consent, or is he in the hospital with horrible burn wounds watching as his darkest secrets get uncovered by some anonymous stranger?

Quote from: Akroma on June 02, 2014, 07:01:22 am

I think for the setting, every player should write down 1-3 tidbits for stuff about the settings they'd like so, with explanations as to why they make sense etc, and then we compile them. If everyone adds something, already the setting becomes rather fleshed out.

Alright.

Spoiler: My Tidbits (click to show/hide)

1. Out of the First-World nations, the United States of America is the slowest to accept magic into its everyday life. Why? Well, to start with, it's easily the most religious nation in the Western world, and just imagine how those people banning Harry Potter books would react if they met Harry Potter. More notably, they are (for better or for worse, depending on the issue) overall the most conservative of said nations. Finally, it's been established and never retconned that they had a blanket ban on using magic; this would have hindered progress. DARPA's ties with IRIS mean that the military might have a good amount of enchanted gear, at least for special forces and such, but aside from that and occasional toys for the rich...not much.

2. Japan, on the other hand, has accepted magic quite readily, integrating it with everyday life and technology. First off, there's Yuri's family, which would have been a great boon in making the nation more magical (especially since Japan's small size makes it easier for such things to proliferate). Second off, Japan is perhaps the greatest indisputably successful example of a backwards nation quickly advancing to the State of the Art, and it hasn't really lost its momentum. Finally, think of the implications: Train Cars of Holding, giant majitek robots, and maybe the occasional kaiju.

3. Dragons are still trying to find places to fit in. They don't like humans terribly much, what with dragonslaying and such in bygone ages, and they don't really fit in human cities anyways. (Not that they want to; they have the whole "we'll still be here when you are all gone" thing going on.) They're finding places to live in uncharted rainforests, polar regions, ice caps, and the like, but there's still a bit of tension, not helped by the occasional would-be dragonslayer or attack by a hot-headed wyrmling.

Quote from: wolfchild on June 02, 2014, 07:14:43 am

I'd like to hear your ideas.

a) Shape-changers are required to register as such and must carry identification for all of their forms where identification is required, if an unrestricted shapechanger they must settle on a base form for ID and be chipped.

Quote from: Akroma on June 02, 2014, 07:18:33 am

I think shape-shifting registration falls under magic registration.

It's a different, probably more restrictive registration.
It's...um...I hate to use this example, but it's like the difference between having a criminal record and being on the sex offender registry.

Quote from: Empiricist on June 02, 2014, 07:21:48 am

Wait, wouldn't people only need registration for magic usage and not for possessing magic? I mean, if they don't use their magic, no one's going to find out and enforce the registration nor would there be much of a need to.

It's one of those laws that's on the books but pretty much unenforceable. You're still gonna get busted if you use magic without registering yourself, and most people are going to be getting registered anyways.

ignoring the rules is part of a dramatis personae now?


a) the armor is, frankly, too powerful. Either it gets some downsides to balance it out, or it is a no go


b) supernatural abilities run off mag. With just one point in it, Kyle would only be able to use negliable abilities. the buff would only increase speed by +1, the shot attack would only deal 2 damage, and that will likely be resisted every single time.




GWG, nice tidbits. As for the assumption, you seem very deadset on implanting gurps, but so far the only other person who said gurps might be a good idea was someone who I have never seen before in the thread. As far as balancing goes, GURPS is balanced towards GURPS, if we try to make some sort of hybrid, we are no longer as guaranteed to be balanced as you think. I feared that since it seems very likely that we will decide against GURPS, you may take offense and decide to not join.

Spoiler: Tidbits (click to show/hide)

1. All First World, and starting to be integrated in many other, are sensors in stores and banks to detect magically made items or cash to prevent counterfeiting. Sale of many creation items is full out banned in the States, but some countries are fine with it to an extent. The UN has listed a ban on all precious metals, gems, weapons of mass destruction, guns, etc. Creation of any creature life NOT already part of the natural ecosystem is also banned.

2. Many corporations are attempting to exploit the powers of Magic Users, specifically creation users, to further their businesses as quickly as possible. This is causing a bit of public ire. The courts are still working out how severe punishments should be on magic users, especially for those who don't have AS much control over their abilities. Anti-magic designed prisons are attempting to be prepared to hold the truly destructive and bad magic users, but things are difficult.

Cado, I'd imagine your second point becomes all the more complicated, when people start just claiming they had no controle over their abilities to dodge punishment. suddenly you have to doubt everyone who claims the fireball who blew up their neighbours yard was an accident and bam, eventually that excuse will no longer do.


I do point out btw, Kyle actually becomes stronger with the new rules. He is allowed to keep both if physical damage being halved perk, and the fear-inducing ability. Originaly he got those perks because personas were less versatile than other uses of magic - something which was entirely bullshit to begin with. First of all, wind-magic is versatile, secondly, when said wind magic can also *heal* stuff somehow (because that's totaly what wind does guys), it's already more versatile than other abilities. if you put that on top of tinkering skills that rival technomancy, Kyle already has 3 abilities. How is he less versatile again? The only one more versatile than Kyle is Sen.

Now with everyones abilities being put in rules and becoming generaly less versatile, Kyle becomes more versatile in comparison, to the point where it is utter GM mercy that Kyle is even allowed, as simply, his stuff stretches rules quite a bit. Add that armor on top, and Kyle is more designed to be a powerful bossfight than an actual PC

As far as balancing goes, GURPS is balanced towards GURPS, if we try to make some sort of hybrid, we are no longer as guaranteed to be balanced as you think.

I don't expect perfect balance. However, consider two things:
1. Most abilities we're concerned with are ones that are fairly rules-agnostic. Flight, for instance, is pretty simple; you fly or you don't. Modifiers affect how you fly in also rules-agnostic manners, like "you will be unable to fly if your wings are hurt" or "you can fly in space now". The non-rules-agnostic ones are also not much of a problem, if we're not worried about perfect balance (as opposed to just guidelines that make it harder to accidentally make an OP or UP character and easier to judge if a character is of an appropriate power level); for instance, since the human average for statistics by your system is 5 and by GURPs it's 10, any stat modifiers would be halved. There will be some gray areas, but it should be pretty easy to apply.
2. Imperfect guidelines are better than no guidelines. You haven't said a single word on how to determine if some power/perk/set of powers and perks is balanced or OP, save that obviously OP ones are vetoed...with no suggestions as to how to make it non-OP. A GURPS hybrid would give us such guidelines, and unless you can provide examples of something that's balanced in GURPS but not when translated to RMG-3.0, we'll have no reason to think that the discrepancies will be significant.

Cado's ideas are pretty neat.

I think it would work something like an insanity defense; if you can prove that you lacked control over your powers, rather than being jailed you'd be isolated so your uncontrolled power wouldn't hurt people and you'd be subjected to treatments to either get your powers under control or remove them.
P.S. Your argument roughly mirrors an argument that the insanity defense would lead to everyone claiming that.

Well, if you're going to task me with making a system, in the context of the current conversation, I'm going to be making it an integrated power/perk system inspired by GURPS. If that's not what you meant, I hope you inform me of this before I spend the time designing it.

It is a problem as eventhough this game has the same characters and most of the same lore as before, it has a new system, it has a new setting, it has a new GM, and will probably even be started in a new thread.


And by the rules of this new game, Kyle is ignoring the rules. You are really asking why it is a problem that kyle does not have to stick to the rules as everyone else?
It's not just the armor, it's also your stats. At mag 1, Kyle is more mundane than the average human. He will not be able to use any of his abilities besides a magic shot that has a miniscule chance of even dealing any damage.

there would be drawbacks because heavy armor, which only boosts your defence by 5 points, already reduces speed by 2 and skill by 1.


Armor that increases 3 stats by 5 points, and also gives bonus health? For someone who already only takes halve the regular physical damage?

Post by: GreatWyrmGold on June 02, 2014, 09:56:09 am

Spoiler: GWG's Proposed GURPS-Hybrid System (click to show/hide)

The core of the system is simple: You start with a specified number of PP (which can stand for Power Points or Perk Points as desired), which can be spent on powers or perks, which there isn't really a solid line between. You can also take disadvantages for more PP.
The limits on PP and disadvantages will vary with the power level of the created character (and PP may be awarded in addition to normal XP); however, a good number would probably be 100 PP and a 50-point disadvantage cap. A typical GURPS character would tend to have at least 200-300 points, but they buy Attributes and Skills, which we probably won't be. If we stick to 100 we avoid getting out-of-control. The disadvantage cap should probably be no more than 50% of the base PP total.

Advantages
For the most part, these are simple; pay the price, you get the advantage. Specific exceptions are noted towards the bottom.

GURPS Perks
GURPS's Perks are minor bonuses your character has, paying one point for each. The same applies here: Pay one PP and you can get, for instance, immunity to hangovers or a built-in vacuum cleaner. (Hey, you get what you pay for.)
You might be able to get such things for free, if they're integral to your character concept. Ask the GM and other players.

Disadvantages
Ditto. Generally, though, if there's not an obvious downside (e.g, with Disturbing Voice), you need to check with the GM and other players before getting PP for it.

Quirks
In GURPS, quirks are 1-point disadvantages that everyone's limited to having five of. In this system, you are heavily discouraged from taking them for PP unless you're willing to have them impact the game. Cannot Float is probably okay, but Dislikes and Staid less so. If you're uncertain, ask the GM and players for their input.

Spells
GURPS spells don't really fit into the currently-proposed system, so unless for some reason they're vital to your character don't bother. If they are, I'm willing to look over things on a case-by-case basis. Chances are that only one or two spells which don't have similar advantages are needed.

Skills
Skills also don't fit well into the currently-proposed system, for roughly the same reason. However, Talents are an Advantage. Purchasing a level of Talent gives you +1 Skill for rolls with the associated skills. Yes, this is more significant than the bonuses to skill levels from the Talent advantage do in GURPS, but in GURPs said advantage also gives you bonuses to Reaction rolls and reductions in the time to learn skills, which don't apply to RMG-3.0. Overall, it's reasonably balanced.

Stats
If you don't have enough supernatural or otherwise interesting abilities to use your PP, you can increase stats. I suggest a value of 15 PP per point of Stat. Why?
1. Attributes in GURPS cost either 10 points (ST, HT) or 20 (DX, IQ).
2. The advantages of DX and IQ are broken up into multiple Stats. Thus, we can act as though Attributes cost about 10 character points per attribute point.
3. Attributes provide advantages not covered by the stats. For instance, ST increases hit points, while HT increases fatigue points. Overall, this decreases their value by a guesstimated 25% to 7.5 (based in large part on HP and FP, the clearest examples of not-covered-by-the-equivalent-Stat).
4. An average human's Attributes are 10 each, but their Stats are 5 each. Thus, double the 7.5 to get 15.
Again, while not perfect, it will suffice.

Damage Types
How do we translate damage from Innate Attacks and such into damage in your system? That's a tricky one. It would be fairly easy to make a conversion factor for each damage type, but that wouldn't work too nicely with the existing system, now would it?
Let's start with Strikers, Teeth, and other natural melee weapons granted by Advantages. Teeth and most Claws can be treated as Normal weapons, but Strikers, the bigger Claws, or possibly a combination of weaker weapons may qualify as Good weapons.
More mundane Innate Attacks, like an implanted firearm or acid spit, can be treated similarly. A weapon which functions as an Unarmed attack would only cost a few points (let's say 3); 10 points would get you a Normal weapon; 20 a Good one; more powerful mundane Innate Attacks would be available on request.
"Default" magical attacks should probably cost something like 15 points, or only 5 if for some reason it's melee-range. If you want to enhance it further, you can either buy bonus damage (doubling for each "quality level") or apply Modifiers.
Non-damaging attacks like Afflictions are...tricky and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, trying to capture the essence of the effect while keeping it balanced in the new rules.
This is the section I have the least confidence in; I'm mostly taking the simple stuff at the beginning and trying to extrapolate for the rest. Please comment if you think you have a better solution!

Alternate Forms
Covered by the Alternate Form advantage. Basically, as long as the PP total of traits the alternate form has that the normal one does not exceed the PP total of the inverse, it costs 15 PP. (Stats can be rearranged freely; a -1 to Skill balances a +1 to Strength, for instance.)

Gadgets
Teh ability to make new gadgets would fall under Gadgeteering. Specific special gadgets which come up regularly and have significant impact should be bought as advantages, albeit with special Gadget Limitations listed on pages 116-117 which can easily reduce cost by half, and potentially down to the 20% minimum cost GURPS imposes (and which will probably be enforced here if it ever comes up, especially if someone's trying to by an Advantage for free).

Audience Input
You've probably noticed that at times, I've asked for the input of the GM and players. Doesn't this negate the advantages of the system, you ask? Not at all.
First off, all other proposed systems require this to some extent. More importantly, this system only requires such input when people are trying to extract as much power as they can from the system. Non-min-maxers should be content with not doing so in any significant way, and so won't need much oversight; min-maxers should be obvious enough, and so can be shot down quickly. This system requires less and (usually) easier audits. Assuming, of course, that people follow them.

Alright. That should be everything. Any questions?

well, not an entire system, just a part of the current system we have, that is everything related to perks. As it stands now, our system is more or less "grab something you'd like to have, alongside what you already have". May not be the best idea.

Indeed. I knew what you meant, and created such. (If I thought you wanted a whole system, I would have snarkily pointed to the GURPS rulebook.)

I'm not getting rid of something that's been part of my character since he started.

We were "bitching about it" beforehand, in case you somehow missed it. And guess what? The rules are changing. Typical stats were once in the low dozens; now they're in the single digits. That's just the most obvious example.
Now do you want me to try and balance your armor as a test of my system or not?

Post by: USEC_OFFICER on June 02, 2014, 10:06:48 am

While everyone is yelling at each other again, I'd like to post my three tidbits.

1. The multiple dimensions/universes theory has been confirmed via magic. However all attempts to actually visit another dimension have ended in failure. Probes stop working and scrying spells just fail for no obvious reason. Obviously no humans or living creatures have been sent to another dimension due to the apparent danger involved. All indications show that they'll never return.

2. Magical clubs/societies have sprung up, and are composed of people who can do or are very interested in magic. These clubs discuss latest advancements in magic, show off their powers, construct magic circles for fun, conduct fundraisers, petition governments about issues affecting these topics and many other things. Not all nations or countries have these clubs though, and they are more common in tolerant countries like Japan and Australia.

3. Automation has taken off with the construction of golems, which are cheap, never tire and endlessly complete repetitive tasks. The smarter ones can even speak and do basic chasier and service work. As such unemployment has skyrocketed, with more than a fifth of the world's population out of a job as they replaced by golem labour. Faced with such a large unemployment problem, and an untapped source of potiental voters, governments have been scrambling to fix the problem. Some have banned golems outright, some have experimented with using golems to produce free food and goods, and most have increased unemployment benefits.

Looks good/interesting?

Post by: Akroma on June 02, 2014, 10:09:20 am

I..uhm...have no idea what your post now wants us to do.

Could you perhaps make an example GWG?


it being exactly the same as it was means nothing in a game that it was not designed for. +5 in 3 stats is too much. And because we are not the ones bitching, but you, I will put a period here. Either the armor gets reduced to +2 in defence, speed and skill or the new game may simply be Kyle-less. We have a game with rules that we offer you. It's the GMs of the system and the plots that are putting work into this so people can have fun, and if the kind of fun they offer is not the kind of fun you are looking for, look for different fun. It's really no problem. We are designing a game for a different sort of player, and you are a player for a different sort of game. We redesigned the game so we would be less powerful, because at our current level of power, the game started to become less interesting, and furthermore it forced the enemies to be so powerful they broke the system. So we are doing just that, fixing our power level, fixing the system and sailing to new shores. Players like Cado, Usec and Oreo had already quit the game, and now want to return. If I have to make the choice between these or just you, that's nothing personal - just what the majority wants.

Quote from: kj1225 on June 02, 2014, 10:06:03 am

No.

exactly. if you expect to just say no no no until we give you what you want, then I am sorry to tell you, we are offering a game for those who think that could be fun and say yes to it.

To allow balance, keep the game more interesting due to enemies having a chance to finally KO us, and allow more difficult enemies to be more easily made.

If you want a story reason, his armor got somewhat out of date due to the magic based advancements in science and weaponry.

Second, I've actually had her for most of my Vatican plot, but I just didn't put her character sheet on my characters post.

It's funny. Frederica is probably the calmest person you will ever find, but if she loses her Ultravoice she goes into a short induced rage and then is instantly hit with melencholia (basically severe depression).

haha, Sen already suffers from an increased mana cost when using her spells. But yeah I considered that, but I guess I'll think about it some more.

While everyone is yelling at each other again, I'd like to post my three tidbits.

-snip-

Looks good/interesting?

#1 is...let's say interesting, since several characters came from other worlds.
#2 is good.
#3 doesn't make sense. Golems aren't much more capable than robots and are certainly more expensive. Moreover, since robots and such haven't caused a huge increase in unemployment over a world without any automation, why would golems do the same to a world with loads of automation?

Quote from: Akroma on June 02, 2014, 10:09:20 am

I..uhm...have no idea what your post now wants us to do.

Could you perhaps make an example GWG?

Alright. Here's hoping my head's clearer than it was a bit ago.

Spoiler: Neo-Angel (click to show/hide)

Let's say that we've got 100 stat points and 100 PP. Let's also say that none of this is binding.

Assigning stats is going first, because it's simple.
Angel herself has Health 5, Mana 10, Speed 15, Skill 20, Strength 5, Defense 20, Magic 5, Resistance 10.
Nuriel has Health 15, Mana 10, Speed 13, Skill 3, Strength 20, Defense 14, Magic 15, Resistance 10.
There, stat points spent.

Needless to say, they need their fire magic. First comes the attack, which I'll pay 15 points for. It's just a typical magical attack. Next off, an immunity to fire (not quite in the rulebook, but from the Resistant advantage an...um...whichever would be "erring on paying more points" estimate would be 15 PP).
15 PP will be spent on the Alternate Form ability. In addition, we need to consider Nuriel's special abilities. Specifically, she has wings and she can shift her shape some. The wings (which are Flight (Winged)) cost 30 PP, while the shapeshifting is a more complicated Morph (Mass Conservation, Cosmetic, Takes Extra Time 1), which costs 20. We could discuss the possibility of using the rules about (basically) getting a discount on alternate-form powers, but it makes more sense to just give Angel another 50 PP of abilities. Specifically, I'll give her +1 to Skill for 15 points, two levels of Academic Talent (15 points each), and Pitiable (5 points).
Finally, we have 5 PP left over. I could end it now and call it close enough, or just find a 5-point ability, but I'd like to show you guys what all is going on. So, let's give each form a disadvantage: Bad Temper (-10) for Nuriel and pairing Social Stigma (Minor)--that is, she is a minor--with Sense of Duty (Northdale 5), which are -5 PP each, for Angel. Bad Temper and Sense of Duty are things that need to be roleplayed; there is a system in GURPS for enforcing it, but let's try not to need it, okay? With the 15 PP I now have, I can add Area Effect (2 yards), Persistent, and Selectivity to the fire attack--that is, it can be done as an area attack (a sphere with a radius of two yards), the area attack can stick around to hurt enemies that don't move for the next ten seconds*, and either of those can be turned off whenever they feel like it.
*Or turns?
Throw in some largely-cosmetic details and you have a character! (Not one I particularly want to play--I'd rather spend more time refining it--but it works.) All I have to do is check in with the others that they're willing to let me take those RP-based disadvantages and Angel is combat-ready!

Final note: I am willing to do this for you. I understand that y'all don't understand the GURPS rules as well as I do. Moreover, I care enough about making this game better to put some work into it, but I haven't really found a way to do that. Overall, I'm willing to do the grunt-work for you. Say what you want (assuming it isn't obvious), and I'll make an approximation. You can accept it or ask me to tweak something that seems off. It won't be min-maxed by any means, but if you don't want to do it yourself, I'll do the job.

Because even if it was balanced in the old system this is a new system and therefore it can be unbalanced in it

And it wasn't generally agreed to be balanced in the old system.

And I will restat Sen as soon as I decide on how I want to handle her 20 something books of magic...

If we're going with the GURPS-based system of defining/balancing abilities, there's a couple versions of Modular Abilities (pg. 71 of the aforelinked GURPS book) which might interest you. A refluffed "Computer Brain" would probably work well. It basically means that she can switch between a bunch of different powersets that she has in her head.

Then doing other forum games.
Also I was slowed by various factors. But my head's clear now, probably, so yay.

Quote

but yeah, we are close to completition. For characters the one I can think of the top of my hat that still need statting are Sen and Ashley, and Projeck needs to come back for a slight for Ashley. And Sen, Sen is is just a load of work

Also me, but I'm waiting until we've decided the rest of the details on the character creation system.

Also Angel and Nuriel. Or Angel/Nuriel, since if we're retconning anything when we go to 3.0 I'd like to retcon them separating.

Quote

You'd be surprised.
There are two options. The first is to adjust an existing ability, but that's probably not what you're looking for. The second is to find some similar ability and go from there, like with the Immunity to Fire mentioned in my example. Most likely, we'll be able to get dang near any ability's cost approximated if we can think of some way to handle GURPS's spells.
Well, then there's stuff that relies heavily on the system's mechanics (e.g, Kyle's halve-physical-damage ability), but I have surprisingly little sympathy for such abilities. No offense, kj, but something so unexplained just bugs me. Still, give me time, and I'll approximate something. Anything like this is going to be run by everyone else first, to make sure that my logic didn't miss some important bit of data.

It's the same stats, the same abilities, so it's hardly an alternate form, especialy as it can't just be just switched with a transformation. It's more of an equipment upgrade

You can use golems for whatever job a human can do, which instantly makes them more capable than a robot.

And the costs of making them would be much lower than a robot depending on how they're made. Given how we've established before that magical circles could be made by robots and machines, I don't find it improbable making a golem by carving runes into a material. Of course the work would have to be precise and methodical, but that's why we have golems.

Which abilities? The different chassises? It's definitely something like a transformation, since the whole body is changing. They also have significantly different abilities. I'd say that the base would be Alternate Form, although it would have a number of Limitations imposed. We could search for them, or we could just say "there's probably a lot that we could apply" and apply the -80% maximum.
If they just had different weapons, it would be easy enough to classify them the same as we would different weapons and armor people could wield/put on, but...the Overdrive of the HYDRA unit makes that problematic. Maybe we could call most of it equipment and use various Gadget modifiers on just the Overdrive ability?

Also, why did no one inform me that ICARUS has a gynoid body now?

No, you can't. Unless you're assuming that the "golems" are actually sentient, which instantly causes the price to shoot up high enough that it's cheaper to just pay a human.

Quote

They can also be used in agriculture and other fields where variations in the materials/environment would confuse a robot.

They're making more or less automated farms even today, IRL. Besides, golems have their own set of issues. The original one flooded a house when told to get water; no robot would make that mistake. Golem "programming" is too many steps removed from the core "code"; mistakes like that slip through too easily.

Quote

And the costs of making them would be much lower than a robot depending on how they're made. Given how we've established before that magical circles could be made by robots and machines, I don't find it improbable making a golem by carving runes into a material. Of course the work would have to be precise and methodical, but that's why we have golems.

You seem to have missed a couple of costs.
1. Expensive Material Components. I'm pretty damn sure any magical automatons you're going to make are going to have something of that sort...especially if you want them sentient.
2. Paying the Wizard. Magic may be well-known, but it's not common. You'd better believe that they won't go cheap.
3. The Wizard Isn't Brain-Dead. Why, oh why would a golem-making wizard make a golem that could use magic? Why would he program a machine or golem to perform the very same tasks that he and very very few others (let alone others that are available to be hired) can do?
4. Maintenance and Oversight. Golems break down, they have to be fixed or repaired. In addition, they also need to be watched like robots. In fact, they need to be watched more than robots, because of the higher chance of programming errors (plus the chance of malfunction that exists in any system).
And that's assuming that there exist golems capable of doing the tasks required. Making, say, a receptionist or salesman golem that works anywhere near as well as a human would be nigh impossible (and also expensive).

Anyway, they all have the same abilities, it is just that neither the PIXEL nor the ICARUS actually can bring the ability all the way to it's full potential, despite her stats technicaly allowing it.

Well, then it can probably more or less fit under the "equipment" function. Maybe one or two "abilities with Gadget limitations and probably another limitation that prevents you from using them at the same time (since you can't)".

It fires a beam of energy particles, not actual matter. And plus the energy is moving at 0.5c, but that's still pretty fast. Fast enough to not be able to be dodged.

As to the first bit, it matters little at those speeds. Unless you're firing neutrinos, but who would make a neutrino-based weapon?

Well, if you have a rifle that fires a lethal dose of neutrinos that really good aim/intel, you'd be able to snipe people through the planet :P Probably not the most efficient but it certainly does have a degree of style.

Not exactly easy, though. (http://what-if.xkcd.com/73/) Assuming that you'r sniping that person from 2/3 of the planet's diameter away, the required neutrinos increase with the square of the distance (reasonable, since that's how most things roll), and that you're firing the neutrinos in about a 0.1-degree arc (unreasonable, but I need a number), you'd still need about 1.7_E-13 supernovae to kill someone with neutrinos like that. It might not sound like much, but supernovae are freaking big. Assuming the same light:neutrino ratio of a supernova, your weapon would be brighter from literally a million miles away than detonating a nuclear weapon pressed against your eyeball (WARNING! Do not try at home). (Assuming xkcd is precisely correct and a supernova from an AU away is 10⁹ times brighter than said nuke, they have equal brightness at 1.212 million miles.)
In case you haven't figured it out yet, my point is that whatever you're using to generate that many neutrinos is probably going to be more devastating than the neutrinos themselves. (Kinda like 500-mph winds.)

This !!science!! has been brought to you by Wolfram Alpha.

An inefficient, imperfect AI at that. Remember how Andromalius wrote the pseudocode for the logic? Well, as with most of Cyrielle's programming, it uses RAD, trading efficient and quality for a fast development time. It's probably buggy and slower than a proper one should be.

Post by: Kansa on June 02, 2014, 05:24:07 pm

Here is the lore for the new world so far

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a) Anti-magic fields, like IRIS already used them years ago have become relatively common, if expensive. The government uses them to cover most public areas and buildings, but private corporations, like banks, can also obtain licenses to protect their buildings from magic. Vigilantism is less and less tolerated, especialy if the magic used for it is harmful. Private companies need a license for anti-magic fields, and need to respect whitelists. Many magic communites are protesting against the fields quite regularly.


b) All magic users need to be registered, and if they want to use their magic in public, they need a license, so they can be whitelisted from the anti-magic fields. Get caught magicing in public without a license, and the punishment depends mostly on what you were doing, but is usualy handled demonstratively strict, to get the message across. Get caught without being registered at all and trouble awaits. These licenses require both a psychological evaluation and proof that you have your ability under controle.


c) There is a bit of tension going on in business, where magic simply out-performs traditional craft. A good example would be healers for example, who can deal with so many things within minutes and with little problem where traditional medicine has great trouble. However as medical magic services vary a LOT in quality, most insurance companies don't pay for them, making that kinda stuff something for the rich - further increasing tension. Meanwhile traditional doctors earn less and less, despite having spent so much time and money on education. Similar developments can be seen in many branches of business.

1. Out of the First-World nations, the United States of America is the slowest to accept magic into its everyday life. Why? Well, to start with, it's easily the most religious nation in the Western world, and just imagine how those people banning Harry Potter books would react if they met Harry Potter. More notably, they are (for better or for worse, depending on the issue) overall the most conservative of said nations. Finally, it's been established and never retconned that they had a blanket ban on using magic; this would have hindered progress. DARPA's ties with IRIS mean that the military might have a good amount of enchanted gear, at least for special forces and such, but aside from that and occasional toys for the rich...not much.

2. Japan, on the other hand, has accepted magic quite readily, integrating it with everyday life and technology. First off, there's Yuri's family, which would have been a great boon in making the nation more magical (especially since Japan's small size makes it easier for such things to proliferate). Second off, Japan is perhaps the greatest indisputably successful example of a backwards nation quickly advancing to the State of the Art, and it hasn't really lost its momentum. Finally, think of the implications: Train Cars of Holding, giant majitek robots, and maybe the occasional kaiju.

3. Dragons are still trying to find places to fit in. They don't like humans terribly much, what with dragonslaying and such in bygone ages, and they don't really fit in human cities anyways. (Not that they want to; they have the whole "we'll still be here when you are all gone" thing going on.) They're finding places to live in uncharted rainforests, polar regions, ice caps, and the like, but there's still a bit of tension, not helped by the occasional would-be dragonslayer or attack by a hot-headed wyrmling.

1. All First World, and starting to be integrated in many other, are sensors in stores and banks to detect magically made items or cash to prevent counterfeiting. Sale of many creation items is full out banned in the States, but some countries are fine with it to an extent. The UN has listed a ban on all precious metals, gems, weapons of mass destruction, guns, etc. Creation of any creature life NOT already part of the natural ecosystem is also banned.

2. Many corporations are attempting to exploit the powers of Magic Users, specifically creation users, to further their businesses as quickly as possible. This is causing a bit of public ire. The courts are still working out how severe punishments should be on magic users, especially for those who don't have AS much control over their abilities. Anti-magic designed prisons are attempting to be prepared to hold the truly destructive and bad magic users, but things are difficult.

1. The multiple dimensions/universes theory has been confirmed via magic. However all attempts to actually visit another dimension have ended in failure. Probes stop working and scrying spells just fail for no obvious reason. Obviously no humans or living creatures have been sent to another dimension due to the apparent danger involved. All indications show that they'll never return.

2. Magical clubs/societies have sprung up, and are composed of people who can do or are very interested in magic. These clubs discuss latest advancements in magic, show off their powers, construct magic circles for fun, conduct fundraisers, petition governments about issues affecting these topics and many other things. Not all nations or countries have these clubs though, and they are more common in tolerant countries like Japan and Australia.

3. With access to teleportation magic, space flight becomes much more cheaper and practical, which has sparked a second space race. No longer constrained by orbital dynamics and rocketry, mankind has visited most of the (relatively) habitable planets and moons in the solar system, spurred on by feelings of national pride and the desire to be the first to do something. More practically, plans for Lunar and Martian colonies are in the works, and the number of probes in space has increased exponentially. Additionally many asteroids in the solar system are being prospected for metals and minerals, and several are being prepped for teleportation back to Earth to be mined. Needless to say the various governments of the world are scrambling to try and keep up with all of the legal cases and legislature that this second space race is creating.

1. Shape shifting is a lot more common now, and some have formed groups, much like USEC's idea of magic clubs. They do a lot of the same things as he suggested.

1: Many governments around the world have set up an elite task force which deals with unregistered and dangerous magic users, these forces are equipped and trained specifically to deal with magic users. Usually the head of each squad is a magic user themselves.

2: Special schools have been set up to teach control to those with uncontrollable or dangerous powers, each of the schools are built away from the rest of society and each have their own anti magic generator. Due to the cost of providing both the expertise and the equipment provided to teach this control there are only a few of these in first world countries so far.

3: Prisons to deal with people who possess magic have begun to be set up, these are very high security prisons and even people with minor magic who commit crimes find themselves locked up inside them. They each of course have their own anti magic generator to make sure that those inside cannot commit magic of any kind.

3rd world countries are clamoring for magic citizens to reveal themselves as a way to close the gap between themselves and the developed world, such magicians are being state sponsored as a matter of course with any past crimes wiped off the book and a blind eye generally turned for low level crimes they may commit.

There are small communities that came together because they believe the growing magic is a sign of the end times, they hold up with munitions stores that are frankly absurd for their size. And shoot anyone found to be a magician without question, these are mostly breakaway religious groups, but some "scientific" people that refuse to believe their eyes can be found as well.

Magical creatures are generally seen as a boon in society, but are also treated by most as outsiders, this is not helped that some are able to easily replace most unskilled labour with a cheaper alternative, even if paying more per individual

Shape-changers are required to register as such and must carry identification for all of their forms where identification is required, if an unrestricted shapechanger they must settle on a base form for ID and be chipped.

A. The medical world has begun integrating IRIS made artificial limb machines. The relatively cheap nature of the machines and their produced items have made them a great boon and sturdier versions of them have been seeing use in the military for disabled soldiers.

B. Nintendo and IRIS have gained an obscene amount of money from sale of official pokemon. They require a license in many areas but it is agreed that it is worth it to get one if only as a pet for your child due to the wide variety and the fact that they also are low cost protection.

2. Getting a license, as a shapeshifter, is required, much like the Animagi of the Harry Potter series.

3. Certain companies have taken to employing shapeshifters of a specific species (or multiple specie), effectively making them more intelligent guard dogs that are also paid.

4. The most common shapeshifters can turn into normal animals, i.e. dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. Whether through better training or just chance, a small few have been able to transform into pseudomagical creatures such as manticores, chimeras, and even one or two dragons. Shapeshifters of high-power magical entities, such as demons, have yet to be recorded anywhere.

1.New York is now in an eternal eclipse caused by curse magic and most of the city is in ruin.
So far no one has been able to break the curse, let alone survive inside of the "Eternal Twilight."

2. An exhibit known as 'The Gallery' has been opened to the public. It's current location is inside the worlds most famous museum, Musee du Louvre located in France. A man calling himself Dio Granse is the currator.

3. The Order of the True Sword, run by Arthur Dramon, is currently holding a Witch Hunt on a group of Demon Worshipers for destroying multiple holy sites around the world.

1.) ASMRA was reformed under a new name: MP&RA (Magic Protection and Research Association). They have a new CEO (of course), who has set his eyes on regulating magic use in Saudi Arabia. They overthrew a corrupt government and restored order after years of riots over a magic bombing in the capital. MP&RA has become the leading supplier of jobs in Saudi Arabia, and has stopped magical testing unless they are given permission by the said magic user to study how it works. They've developed a prototype armor suit that has magical properties to give a mundane soldier to have a chance against criminals who use magic.

2.) The void gate still stands outside of Kyle's castle (and if the castle is now flying, then it remains where the castle once stood).

3.) Void and Ashley have divorced, Nodoka living with Void for the time being as Ashley gets settled back in her apartment in Paris.

3. A large ship seeming to be composed of brass and expelling steam made an island in the ocean at some point. It was later revealed it was the monster peoples doing and as of now all monster people are living there.

Entities that seemingly come from the void have been seen around the world, but they have no come from the void gate but were summoned elsewhere. It is rumored that Sanguine have been summoning these entities in large numbers, but nobody seems sure why they defy the void gate completely.

4. With the dawn of what some are calling Mithril Age of Space Travel, putting a satellite into Low-Earth Orbit and even higher orbits became much, much cheaper. This lead to a proliferation of satellites for various purposes, from major (allowing all locations to receive satellite-based telecommunications and surprisingly fast Internet) to petty (an array of geosynchrous communication satellites which keeps one over a given city at all times). Unfortunately, collisions between satellites, often involving so called pirate satellites put in orbits without proper permission, have caused many to believe that Kessler Syndrome is going to be coming into play shortly. It is feared that this could destroy countless satellites, crippling much of the global communications network, especially in poorer countries, and possibly even leading to spacecraft debris crashing to Earth. A spacecraft sent up to try and curb the issue by safely de-orbiting defunct or illegal satellites was famously struck by another satellite within hours of deployment.

Please tell me if I missed yours out.

Spoiler: Spell Conversion (click to show/hide)

Magery and such are Advantages, like normal.

CHECK MY ASSUMPTIONS
For the purposes of this calculation, we'll assume that a Typical Mage^TM has 12 IQ and Magery 0 in GURPS and Magic 6 in the FE-based system (which really needs a name, please). Both of these are above-average, but not extremely so. We will also assume that most spells in GURPS are approximately the same as Medium spells. Thus, a Typical Mage^TM should have a 50% chance of successfully casting any given spell. Having a 50% chance of success in GURPS requires a skill level of at least 10, which would be IQ-2 for normal spells. This is one point, or two for Very Hard spells. This does not sound remotely right.
Let's re-assess our assumptions and realize that the required skill level goes down with increasing FE-clone spell difficulty. Crap.
Let's decide to make tiers. To cast a spell as a Small skill, one needs to have close to a 100% chance of success. Let's call it ~85%, since that's about what you'd get if you had a Typical Mage^TM with his Magic of 6 and had him cast a spell he just barely had a chance of failing. This corresponds to a skill level of 13-14, which would be IQ+1 to IQ+2, which cost 8 and 12 points respectively. If we charge 10 points for, say, a Fireball spell, it's a bit less expensive than a normal magical attack, but this works out since you also need to buy Magery and prerequisite spells before actually buying it.
As for Very Hard spells, those are between 12 and 16 points. Let's call it 15; that's as much as a basic magical attack, but since Very Hard attack spells tend to do more than damage, it's good. Now...magery. It should decrease cost by about one GURPS skill level (ie, 4 points or less) per level. The book suggests not allowing more than about three levels of Magery in "classic fantasy" settings, so let's account for four just in case. With Magery 1, spells cost 6 points (10 for VH); 2 gives 3 (6); 3 gives 2 (3); and Magery Four lets you pick up non-Very-Hard spells for a single point! Of course, that level of Magery is not only reserved for mages more on the Gandalf side than the Voldemort side, and it costs 45 points in total...but it's still there. Higher levels of magery should require consent from the GM and players.
You can learn spells without Magery, but you can't cast them unless someone brings a mana source nearby. As noted on Page 235, High Mana is sufficient to let non-mages cast any spells they somehow know.

You also need to meet all prerequisites, as stated in the spell description. Usually, this is just other spells or perhaps a minimum Magery level.
What, exactly, spells do may need to be adjudicated on a case-by-case basis, but most have pretty system-agnostic effects.

See the GURPS rulebook for ceremonial magic (which makes spells more powerful but harder to cast, and may be tough to translate in game terms to RMG 3.0) and variants that can be used (with permission/justification).

Sound good?

Spoiler: Sen's Magicks (click to show/hide)

Magery 2
Cost: 25

Modular Abilities (Computer Brain; 1 slot w/ 18 points)
Modifiers: Spells Only (-20%), Takes Extra Time 2 (4x seconds to switch) (-20%), Takes Recharge (2y seconds between switches) (-10%)
Cost: 0.5(72+6)=39

All spells are listed in the order that they are found in the GURPS Core Rulebook I and include a citation for such.

2.Magics of Gaia- Book of Earth spells and rituals: Seek Earth, Shape Earth, Earth to Stone, Create Earth, Stone to Earth, Entombment. (245)
4.Aquarius Rising- Book of water spells and rituals: Seek Water, Purify Water, Create Water, Shape Water, Fog, Icy Weapon. (253)
5.Ignis Fatalis - Book of fire spells and rituals: Ignote Fire, Create Fire, Shape Fire, Heat, Resist Cold, Fireball. (246)
6.Black Mass- Book on curses and witchcraft: Such spells are scattered throughout the spells section and are divided by type. Itch, Spasm, Clumsiness, Hinder (244); Foolishness, Forgetfulness (250)
16.Thunderhead Laylines- Book of lightning spells and rituals: Innate Attack (Burning) with the Surge (+20%) and Magical (-10%) modifiers. Also the ability to glow like a Tesla coil (Perk). (The only Lightning spell in the core book requires six Air spells first. As it happens, six is as many spells as I can give you per slot.)

---

1.Re-Emergence of Trans-location- Multitude of Teleportation spells and forms: Warp (Magical, -10%; Naked, -30%; Range Limit [100 Miles], -20%; Takes Recharge [15 seconds or 4x preparation, whichever is greater], -20%). This one is tricky, since it requires an IQ roll by the GURPS rules. Let's just assume that a Magic roll will work as well. (98)
7.Proginis- Book on healing spells and holy items: You know about items but can't make them. Lend Energy, Lend Vitality, Awaken, Minor Healing (248); Light (249)
12.Demon Summoning- Book on Demon summoning rituals and deals made with them: See below. Sadly, it can't really work.
13.Book of unbinding- Book of how to dispell seals and prisons: Counterspell, Dispel Magic (250); Apportation, Lockmaster (251); there really aren't any other spells of the sort in the core rules, but hey, free telekinesis!
14.Book of Binding- Book on Sealing rituals and prisons: Clumsiness, Hinder, Rooted Feet (244); Seek Earth, Shape Earth (245); Haste (251). This is another place the core spells don't cover well.
18.Fae Magics- Book containing fae magics and rituals, {i}tems, and locations: Yet another place the core spells don't cover. Want a bunch of vaguely fae-ish spells?

3.Darkness reborn- Encyclopedia of demonic locations and items: You know this stuff. Yay!
8.Alienis Portelin- Book on strange ritials and unnatural locations and items: See above.
9.Book of Transendence- Encyclopedia of Gods and summoning rituals: See below.
10.Artifact Encyclopedia- Encyclopedia about Items of legacy. You have access to this knowledge; I don't think any spells are associated with this, either.
11.Diviner Lore- Encyclopedia of Diviner spells, books, and knowledge: Sense Foes, Sense Emotion (245); Detect Magic, Aura, Identify Spell, Analyze Magic (249)
15.Summoning and Taming of Magical Creatures and Cemihumans:  Pocket Monster Special Edition- Self explanatory. Is this Pokemon?
17.The Nine Breaths of Silence- An ancient scroll dedicated to rites of death and safe passing, with spells to aid the passing of a soul to its afterlife, or to contain it within a vessel, such as for the creation of a phylactery or to keep a body alive while it is being healed. I don't have a sourcebook including spells like this...

Pixie Magic...what the heck is that?

Spoiler: Extra-Problematic Ones (click to show/hide)

12:All summoning spells require at least 10 different spells from various colleges. Thankfully, Ritual Magic (242) comes to the rescue! So, by learning the Ritual Magic and Necromantic Spells skills, we still have six Points left (which should probably be saved, since Ritual Magery =/= Magery) and the ability to cast the Summon Demon spell (or any other Necromantic Spell)...although the Demon spell is at -11. Thankfully, the Ceremonial Magic rules (pg. 238) give us an easy way to ritually improve effective Skill! To get +10, you need helpers to give a total of seven times the cost you have to pay...which is 20 for a 200-point (100 SP and 100 PP?) demon. So, they need to contribute the equivalent of 140 FP. Assuming they don't know the spell at above-average skill, you need at least 37 people who know the spell or a hundred people who don't plus 14 who do (or somewhere in between) to summon it. So...yeah, not likely. Sorry.
I might be able to hack something together with the Ally advantage, but then you would have finite demons.

9: The above applies exactly as well.

One important thing to note is that the "programs"--that is, the books Sen has absorbed--are considered equipment by the rules. Thus, it's pretty tough to determine just how many is appropriate. The book suggests a cost of $1800 (measured in Standard GURPS Bucks) per book; I was able to find spells for ten books, so that's $18,000, which is about the cost of 20 "thrusting greatswords", six "tactical suits" (a kind of advanced armor), three sniper rifles and a dart rifle, a "vacc suit" (plus helmet) and a half, a "blaster rifle," or most of an anti-tank missile launcher. In case that helps.

...Why do you think I vanished from the forums for a week, then mentioned in a few places that I got muted once I got back?

And summons/etc fall under the Ally advantage. Selina's power, however, would probably work better as a (heavily modified) version of the Snatcher power (page 86). Probably with the Permanent (+300%) and Cosmic [Costs FP, 12, -60%] (+20%) Enhancements to let the things stick around forever and be able to summon living things, plus Costs FP (10) (-50%) to apply the extreme fatigue she undergoes, Limited Use (max 4 times/day) (-20%), Magical (-10%) because it is, Preparation Required (1 hour) (-50%) to account for drawing the picture, Stunning (-10%) and Takes Recharge (1 hour) (-30%) primarily to reduce cost, and Trigger (Drawing Materials) (-10%) for obvious reasons. This means the cost is (100+300+20-10-50-20-50-10-30-10)%=240% of its initial cost of 80 points. So, a total of 192, or almost twice the suggested starting limit. Problematic. We'd need to give her 92 points of disadvantages, which is almost twice the suggested disadvantage cap.
We could make her need eight hours to draw a picture and only able to actually summon them twice a day, but those would only drop the cost 20%, or to 176, still 50% more than we can get from disadvantages. I could also add Untrainable, which would keep Selina's chance of success at 50% and bring the cost down to 180% or 144, just enough that we can give her some disadvantages to balance it out.
Without radically changing how her power works (e.g, letting her only bring one thing at once out of paper, making it tied to a specific pen, etc), I can't get better than that.

Sorry. The gist of it is simple: Out-of-combat, Sen can switch spellbooks. Each spellbook has a bunch of spells that mostly do what they say. Also, a bunch of spellbooks couldn't be made, for one reason or another, but you can get more spellbooks and add them.

You're not trying to make these characters off of 100 CP, are you? Cause anyone who's throwing around particles at .5C is WAY above that.

Also remember, there are MANY different magic systems to use in GURPS. The Default magic as skills is good for wizards that spend lots of time studying in order to learn each specific spell as a single skill. If you want more flexible magic, there RPM, my favourite. For people with less focus on skill and more inborn talent, there's Magic as Powers, as done in sorcery, Chinese Elemental Powers, or even Divine Favor and Psionic Powers for ones less branded as Magic.

That would be Pacifism (Total Nonviolence) for -30 points (which also implies that you'll actively try to stop others from fighting as well) and Combat Paralysis for -15. It would be just enough for the last version of the powers, and leave you with one free point to spend on, I dunno, Autotrance or something.

The 100 Character Points is just for Advantages and Disadvantages. And it's only an initial suggestion.

Lemme see...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alternate form (Dragon)
Flight (Winged)
Lifting Strength
DR(fire) 50. GUPS Doesn't do Absolute Invulerabilities, so large enough quantities of Fire will hurt you, but as long as you steer clear of the surface of the sun you should be OK.
Vulnerability (cold)
Regeneration (How ever much you choose to pay for an your GM allows)
Claws, Striker for tail, Teeth(Fangs)

Magic is probably best done as Magic as Powers, using alternate attacks. Jst about all of those can be built as variations of Innate Attack (Burning), except cleanse, which is Healing (Afflictions Only).

The toxic blood is probably the hardest, I think Innate Attack (Toxic)(Aura, Accessibility: Only when Injured, some other stuff.)

Alright, the magic blood is hard too. I'd say take Healing (Fatigue: Magic only, costs HP instead of FP, and some modifiers for doesn't require concentration and Involuntary).

No, okay, the Mana is the hardest part. GURPS defualt scaling for mana costs is about 1 fifth of yours, AKA your average dude has about 10 mana instead of 50, and things range from 1 to 10 or so in mana cost. This is easy enough to deal with, however, we just rule that Energy Reserve (Magic) gives you 5 times as many points but that Costs Mana is only worth 1/5th as much as a limitation, which takes it from -5% to -1%.

Yeah, gurps can do all that, but it would require a lot of work to switch over and would require extensive familiarity with the rules and woth how to extend them and balance them. In summary, it would take a lot of work and be very challenging, but would probably give you a more balanced game. Whether or not it's worth it is up to you.

Also: This is what you get for ninja'ing my posts, GWG.  :P

1.) ASMRA was reformed under a new name: MP&RA (Magic Protection and Research Association). They have a new CEO (of course), who has set his eyes on regulating magic use in Saudi Arabia. They overthrew a corrupt government and restored order after years of riots over a magic bombing in the capital. MP&RA has become the leading supplier of jobs in Saudi Arabia, and has stopped magical testing unless they are given permission by the said magic user to study how it works. They've developed a prototype armor suit that has magical properties to give a mundane soldier to have a chance against criminals who use magic.

2.) The void gate still stands outside of Kyle's castle (and if the castle is now flying, then it remains where the castle once stood).

3.) Void and Ashley have divorced, Nodoka living with Void for the time being as Ashley gets settled back in her apartment in Paris.

so, where do we stand, what still needs to be done? Setting is mostly done, only 3 characters remain entirely stat-less. I guess what remains now is for GWG to go over our abilities, look at how many points they'd be worth in total, and then inform us wether they need toning down, if we should perhaps get some flaws to balance out our PP, or if maybe we even have some point left over for some additional perks?

We probably should get a consolidated summary of all lore. Not the fluff. Not the structure. The actual mechanics and laws of each supernatural type along with their properties. After all, @SmurfingtonTheThird is unlikely to know all the lore, not to mention that most players probably don't know all the lore.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Empiricist on June 03, 2014, 05:40:26 am

Here is the summary of all the general lore I have

---

Species:

Spoiler: Phoenixes (click to show/hide)

• Creation
• Technically dead, hence their mind and soul reside in the afterlife
• Bodies formed out of a crystalline carbon structure
• Fast, burning fragile
• These bodies are controlled by phoenix spirits which act as an interface and control unit
• Burn objects to create a new body after an old body is destroyed
• Disabled completely by anti-magic fields

Spoiler: Fate Contractors (click to show/hide)

• Twilight
• No longer exist, but were rare and few in number
• Used Fate by proxy of the actual entity
• Chosen by the Fate entity for being suitable hosts (won't disobey their directives, doesn't mind being partially possessed)
• Replaced by Fate Aspects
• Require Fate to run most of their organs

Spoiler: Fate Aspects (click to show/hide)

• Twilight
• Only three are known to exist
• Used Fate as subsections of the entity itself
• Former Fate Contractors may be assimilated into these
• Each is represented by a sequence of programming code and can remotely possess things exposed to it, even if they aren't compatible with it, regardless of the format of the code (for example, stabbing someone repeatedly in the right pattern can encode the binary form)
• Technically do not exist
• Lack a soul
• Can never enter the realm of Fate

Spoiler: Wall Street Entities (click to show/hide)

• Twilight
• Denizens of Wall Street, some occasionally appear on Earth
• Must obey laws, though they may interpret them incorrectly
• Communicate by directly inserting information into the minds of others
• Each is related to an aspect of economics or business in general
• Sees the world entirely as the 'trade' of 'commodities'
• Cease to exist when they go bankrupt, reappear centuries later when their debts are cleared

---

Supernatural Forces

Spoiler: Fate (click to show/hide)

• Rare and obscure
• Focused on killing
• Causes quick-sealing tears in reality, stronger ones can remain indefinitely
• Tears can be consolidated by solidfying the dichotomy between them and the surrounding realm
• Consolidated tears cannot be broken through physical force but may have parts temporarily dislocate
• Nonexistent enchantment potential
• Very hard to control without part of Fate assisting the usage
• Cannot be used to create life under any circumstances.

Spoiler: Wall Street (click to show/hide)

• Tend to obey some commercial laws, more potent spells are not subject to this restriction
• Involve viewing the world entirely as the trade of commodities such as information, gauge bosons, kinetic energy, heat, magic, etc. before applying economic or business principles to affect trades or perform a new trade
• Exchanges tend to follow market prices and exchange rates rather than energy, density or the like
• Can form contracts that can bind anything to an agreement, if neither party is deceived or otherwise mislead or under duress or impaired in judgement and the terms are strictly economic
• If interest is claimed on anything, then that interest is based on actual interest rates, though they can be fixed or vary with those rates

---

Random crap

Spoiler: Philosopher's Stone (click to show/hide)

• Rare
• Transmutes materials on contact into other materials with a market price
• Only the surface of the region that touches the stone is transmuted
• Can only transmute things owned by no one, owned by the user, or allowed by their owner to be used
• Has a core of something valuable
• When turning something into something more expensive, the substance in the core decreases in mass to cover the difference in values
• When turning something into something less expensive, the substance in the core increases in mass to cover the difference in values
• Cannot transmute if the operation exceeds the total value of the core, or the core is depleted
• Breaks when the core is depleted
• Can be overloaded to transmute the surrounding air into random commodities or to cancel out the fundamental forces in a small area, but destroys the stone in the process and requires a lot of skill to do so

Indeed. I'll start going over characters once I get the chance. In the meantime, could people with vaguer abilities summarize how they envision their abilities working?

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on June 03, 2014, 08:02:07 am

I believe I've already covered Selina--Snatcher _{(Permanent, Cosmic [Costs FP, 12], Costs FP (10), Limited Use (max 2 times/day), Magical, Preparation Required (8 hours), Stunning, Takes Recharge (1 hour), Trigger (Drawing Materials), Untrainable)}, plus Pacifism (Total Nonviolence) and Combat Paralysis. Her power has several restrictions not present in the first versions of the game; she's usually limited to summoning things that weigh five pounds or less (so Conny's gonna be tiny again), drawing a picture suitable for creation takes eight hours, she can only try to remove two things per day and has to wait at least an hour between them, she always has a 50-50 chance of success, and the fatigue penalties are set in stone (on the verge of collapse for most things, unconscious and injured if she tries to take out big or living things.

I can't find anything for blood abilities, so I'll skip that. Here, we'll definitely need to use the point-cost-reducing Alternate Form rules. Dragon form has some pretty clear disadvantages anyways. We'll also want a hybrid form with some of the powers, so that's a total of 30 points. 70/0.9=~77, so we'll need to keep the total of all things below that.
Flight (Winged) would be 30 points. Four points of DR (hm, we'll need to figure out typical damage values in GURPS and the annoyingly unnamed FE-based system) for the scales, with the Can't Wear Armor limitation, costs another 12 points. Then, let's add another...oh...16 points of DR that only works on fire, worth another 16 points. Let's give her Sharp Claws and Sharp Teeth, which should add up to a Good weapon in the unnamed system and definitely cost 6 points. Another 10 points gives you fire breath, and increasing that to 20 lets us make it a cone with a maximum width of 5 yards. That should be an impressive burst of flame. So far, we've got 84 points. Okay...I think we need to get started on the disadvantages. Taking double damage from cold gives you another 30 points. There's a convenient meta-trait on page 263, allowing me to just list "Quadruped" and give you another 35 points. Okay, that's probably enough, since now Stella's dragon form is only worth 19 points more than her human one. So let's start by giving her +2 Strength (30 points, as per the rules I set up earlier) and the Cleanse bit of fire (which Angle suggests would be Healing (Afflictions Only), which would probably be a bit more severe than Disease Only, so let's charge you 12 points for that). The dragon form is now 61 points, meaning that the total cost of that Alternate Form is 70 points. Throw in the cost for the midway form and we've got 85; that leaves 15, which is spent on Regeneration (Slow)*, two levels of Acute Taste and Smell, and Sanitized Metabolism (all of which function in all forms). There we go, a dragon-girl! All that needs to be done is deciding what traits function in the hybrid form and figure out a good conversion factor between GURPS and Unnamed-System damage/HP.

*1 GURPS-HP per 12 hours, in addition to normal healing.

Next, HILDA. The Magic Shots seem like a typical Innate Attack with some stunning (follow-up Affliction?) mixed in. Let's say...25 points overall. Flight would be 40 points, or less if you want to (say) only let her fly up to a certain height off the ground or something. "Shapeshifting" sounds like Morph (Cosmetic, Mass Conservation, Retains Shape) for 20 points. Belkelel's Sight would be Detect (Magic) for 10 points. Next, meta-traits: AI for 32 points*, and Machine for 25. HILDA has...-52 points left. Um. Well, I could give her 50 points of disadvantages, but you would still need to trim some stuff. So...I'll pause here.

*More or less what it sounds like. See Pg 263 of the CBI for more information.

That should be enough for this post. Especially since I'm fuzzy on what to do with HILDA.

"Quadruped" means several things. No hands, for instance.
Being untrainable merely makes Selina's ability less unbalanced. And what do you suggest instead? Bear in mind that we were considering her one of the more overpowered characters before we started reconsidering the system...

I'm pretty confident that it would work for more characters than not, and provide a better solution for balance than "nothing at all". Also, I'm a bit annoyed that after acting interested so I would put all this work into making the system work, you suddenly change your mind at the first hiccup.

That Selina is simply wrong. Also it's hardly the weight limit that would make her overpowered, but the actual function, like the bracelet. That stuff she creates would come pre-enchanted with telepathy and teleportation, now *that* is something that needs to be rebelanced. I kinda doubt that the weight limit will help. As far as the combat-prohibiting flaws go, where do they suddenly come from even?

More she summons in combat. She has fought back before, but I didn't think pacifism COMPLETELY killed any chance of her trying to attack or defend herself... Theres too many downsides to what I already tried to do to keep her balanced.

And Selina is terrified of most things in combat.

I can't find anything for blood abilities, so I'll skip that. Here, we'll definitely need to use the point-cost-reducing Alternate Form rules. Dragon form has some pretty clear disadvantages anyways. We'll also want a hybrid form with some of the powers, so that's a total of 30 points. 70/0.9=~77, so we'll need to keep the total of all things below that.
Flight (Winged) would be 30 points. Four points of DR (hm, we'll need to figure out typical damage values in GURPS and the annoyingly unnamed FE-based system) for the scales, with the Can't Wear Armor limitation, costs another 12 points. Then, let's add another...oh...16 points of DR that only works on fire, worth another 16 points. Let's give her Sharp Claws and Sharp Teeth, which should add up to a Good weapon in the unnamed system and definitely cost 6 points. Another 10 points gives you fire breath, and increasing that to 20 lets us make it a cone with a maximum width of 5 yards. That should be an impressive burst of flame. So far, we've got 84 points. Okay...I think we need to get started on the disadvantages. Taking double damage from cold gives you another 30 points. There's a convenient meta-trait on page 263, allowing me to just list "Quadruped" and give you another 35 points. Okay, that's probably enough, since now Stella's dragon form is only worth 19 points more than her human one. So let's start by giving her +2 Strength (30 points, as per the rules I set up earlier) and the Cleanse bit of fire (which Angle suggests would be Healing (Afflictions Only), which would probably be a bit more severe than Disease Only, so let's charge you 12 points for that). The dragon form is now 61 points, meaning that the total cost of that Alternate Form is 70 points. Throw in the cost for the midway form and we've got 85; that leaves 15, which is spent on Regeneration (Slow)*, two levels of Acute Taste and Smell, and Sanitized Metabolism (all of which function in all forms). There we go, a dragon-girl! All that needs to be done is deciding what traits function in the hybrid form and figure out a good conversion factor between GURPS and Unnamed-System damage/HP.

*1 GURPS-HP per 12 hours, in addition to normal healing.

Thanks for the Time GWG, the blood stuff can just be flavour since it has never come up anyway

the problem I think is that really, nobody knows what the hell GWG is even doing. 70/09.~77 we keep that below blah?


what? what does that even mean?

I think GWG was saying that alternate form cost some points so the dragon form had to be less than the normal 100 total

I will point out that the teleport was something Emp made if I remember correctly.
It was just telepathy before. So, maybe we explain the teleport no longer working as the magic being fucked up by... everything going all no magic.

More to the point, can someone point me to the GURPS rules we're using? The summoning system sounds like Anima, which I might reenter with, would be hideously unbalanced to her detriment.

Post by: Akroma on June 03, 2014, 09:42:11 am

the current gurps rules do not cover summoning, or at least the summoning rules fromg urps are not properly implemented yet. You can see the current summoning rules under magic in the rules post in my signature. considering anima does not summon a gods full strength, it seems good enough to not leave her as overly OP as "summoning gods" would make it sound

Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on June 03, 2014, 09:47:33 am

Well, that and she can literally do NOTHING ELSE that would be useful in combat (most of her other magic requires rituals which take hours to days to do- makes sense, she came from the era where that kind of magic was made :P ).


Yay for pre-balancing.

Really, the balancing would have to be so she can insta-summon her summons for the entire battle, but a drawback being she can only call one summon and have to switch out if she wants a second summon. I'm trying to turn her into a jack-of-all-trades who can do everything, just not as well (not as good a dedicated healer as whoever is, can't hit as hard as ICARUS, can't tank like Neferis, etc.)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 03, 2014, 09:59:26 am

that's kind of a very small drawback, regarding that it removes the main drawback of summoning, that it takes time to get something powerful, and that these powerful ones stay not for long

Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on June 03, 2014, 10:02:50 am

That's the thing, they're all equally powerful, but in different areas. They're also already weaker than characters; what I would be doing is making them as powerful as an average character.

Pre-system change, they were weak already, the new Anima would make them strong enough to compete with characters. Also, forcing the one person who can't fight without a summon to have to spend turns summoning while vulnerable and lose said summon is kinda unfair.

Post by: IamanElfCollaborator on June 03, 2014, 10:12:18 am

Precisely why a buff is in order. As I see it, there are several ways to balance Anima for the new system;

- All summons 110, but a 3-4 turn duration and a 2-3 turn summon time.
- All summons 100, no duration, 1-turn summon
- All summons 95, no duration and no summon time.
- As needed per summon

All of them would have the caveat of one summon out only and take directly from Anima's mana pool (as they always have) rather than their own.

I'll take the 95; giving any of them mana doesn't matter as they don't use their own mana while under Anima's control.

Noooo, 100 is your lowest credible Adventurer. Your characters are almost certainly well above that.

Honestly, I'd advise you get familiar with gurps before trying to use it. The game you have going here is NOT simple, and requires a great deal of expertise. I have familiarity with most everything in GURPS, and I'd have to put in a load of work to make everything work properly.

I think you're exaggerating a bit. Selina wasn't exactly a Blood Knight, and...I can't even think of similar snarks to say about the others. So explain this statement, please.

Quote

That Selina is simply wrong. Also it's hardly the weight limit that would make her overpowered, but the actual function, like the bracelet. That stuff she creates would come pre-enchanted with telepathy and teleportation, now *that* is something that needs to be rebelanced. I kinda doubt that the weight limit will help. As far as the combat-prohibiting flaws go, where do they suddenly come from even?

The weight limit is in the advantage, and I added a modifier that would allow her to ignore it with a bit of effort. Besides, how many things has she made that exceed the weight limit?
The combat-prohibiting flaws come from Selina's personality. They were Cado's idea, not mine.

the problem I think is that really, nobody knows what the hell GWG is even doing. 70/09.~77 we keep that below blah?

what? what does that even mean?

70 is the number of points left after buying two Alternate Forms. Alternate Form lets your alternate form be more powerful overall than the normal form, if you pay 90% of the difference. The difference has to be less than 77 points in this case, for reasons explained above.

4th edition. I've posted a link to a Dropbox of the core rulebook (well, the first, but the second isn't needed unless we're playing real GURPS, and it's barely needed then) twice. Here's (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ublfhk1eflh58iv/4E%20Basic%20Set%20Characters.pdf) another. It works, right?

I'll get around to it. Trying to make sure people don't want to throw out the GURPS book yet, and I've got real-life stuff to do too.
Basically, I'm planning to use the rules for Allies, specifically with the Summonable enhancement. Fiddling may be required to make it fit better with the summon rules you have.

Spoiler: Selina's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Snatcher _{(Permanent, Cosmic [Costs 4 FP], Costs FP (10), Limited Use (max 2 times/day), Magical, Preparation Required (8 hours), Takes Recharge (1 hour), Trigger (Drawing Materials), Untrainable, Unpredictable)}
Pacifism (Total Nonviolence)
Combat Paralysis

Spoiler: Summary (click to show/hide)

Selina can turn drawings into real things. She needs to spend eight hours on a proper drawing, but once it is made, she can take it out any time. She can only create two such things per day, and must wait for her energy to recharge (requires at least an hour). There's only about a 50-50 chance that it'll turn out as intended. Normally, she is simply completely exhausted after creation; however, if she tries to make anything big enough (over ~5 pounds) or which is alive, she's knocked unconscious. Creating things that are both big and alive, really big, or sentient (especially magic-capable ones) would probably risk actually harming Selina, let alone if she does more than one of those at once.

Selina will not harm another being she knows to be sentient willingly, and will generally try to dissuade others from doing so. (Not that she'll always succeed; she's still, you know, passive.)

Selina tends to freeze up in dangerous situations. She can make a Health roll to avoid doing so. "Do not roll until the moment you need to fight, run, pull the trigger, or whatever." If it succeeds, she's okay; if not, she can try again next turn.

Spoiler: Stella's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Alternate Form (Dragon)
-+2 Strength
-Flight (Winged)
-DR 4 3 (Can't Wear Armor)--+1 Defense
-DR 16 (Can't Wear Armor, Fire Only)--Takes 10 fewer points of damage from fire attacks
-Sharp Claws, Sharp Teeth--Weapon (Good)
-Innate Attack (Fire Breath) (Cone, max width 5 yds)
-Healing (Afflictions Only)
-Vulnerability (Cold, x2)
-Quadruped

Alternate Form (Half-Dragon)
-+1 Strength
-Flight (Winged)
-DR 2 (Can't Wear Armor)
-DR 8 (Can't Wear Armor, Fire Only)--Takes 5 less damage from Fire attacks
-Sharp Claws--Weapon (Normal)
-Innate Attack (Fire Breath) (Cone, max width 5 yds)
-Healing (Afflictions Only)
-Vulnerability (Cold, x2)

Regeneration (Slow)
Acute Taste and Smell 3
Sanitized Metabolism

Spoiler: Summary (click to show/hide)

Stella can turn into either a dragon or a halfway-between state. In all forms, she heals quicker¹, has more acute smell and taste¹, and is, quote the rulebook², "totally clean".

In her hybrid form, Stella has tough, fire-resistant scales¹, +1 Strength, wings that let her fly, claws that act as Normal weapons, and a fiery breath that can reach up to 100 yards away, spreading out to a maximum width of five yards at that distance. The fiery breath can also cure various afflictions, including most curses and many more exotic toxins but not most diseases. I think, I don't have the sourcebook that the advantage Angle recommended came from. Anyways, she also takes double damage from cold attacks. She's also taller and broader, which (along with the wings) makes it impractical for her to wear armor.

In the full dragon form, Stella retains all these additional abilities, but gains new ones. The scales increase in durability¹, the Strength bonus increases to +2, the claws are joined by fangs which give her effectively a Good natural weapon. On the other hand, she retains the vulnerability to cold, and is not only large enough to impede her passage in smaller or crowded spaces, but is also quadrupedal, which naturally leaves her unable to manipulate objects in any but the crudest manners as well as making it difficult to use most any facilities designed for humans or wear most armor.

Changing forms requires ten seconds of concentration.

Flight (30-foot ceiling)
Morph (Cosmetic, Mass Conservation, Retains Shape)
Detect (Magic)
AI
Machine
Ad Hoc: Explosive abilities
Fragile (Explosive)
Vulnerability (Electricity, x2)
5 points of disadvantages

Spoiler: HILDA Summary (click to show/hide)

HILDA has an inbuilt set of weapons. The Magic Shot acts as a typical magic attack and also stuns on hit. Other weapons can be shapeshifted; HILDA can change her form as desired, taking 10 seconds for any change, although she needs to keep the same mass and roughly the same shape, and the changes can't affect her stats. She can also fly, though not higher than 30 feet or so, and has magical sensors that I don't remember the name of. Their range is comparable to eyesight or hearing (including the fading of quality and comprehension when you get far away); it allows HILDA to detect and analyze nearby significant sources of magic. Let's also give her those self-destructive abilities.
She is also an AI in a robot. This means that she isn't affected by metabolic hazards or conventional telepathic powers, can't bleed or be affected by bloodborne things, takes less damage from bullets and other such small piercing projectiles (let's apply a flat 1/3), has perfect timing, never sleeps or forgets, and can access the Internet with her brain. However, she doesn't heal naturally (though she can be repaired) and can be reprogrammed by anyone who has access to her CPU. She also needs to be recharged (refueled?) every several hours rather than needing to eat.
She isn't all-powerful, though. Her body contains unstable ordinance; any single attack that inflicts at least half of her full HP in damage or kills her requires a Health roll to avoid exploding, which would be bad (hurting people nearby and killing HILDA if she wasn't killed by the attack). She also takes double damage from electricity. Also, there's another five points of Disadvantages we need to fill to keep her 100% balanced. If we're going to worry about that, we need another minor disadvantage to add. Got ideas?

I'm pretty sure HILDA can shift her stays around and fly more than thirty feet high.
Plus HILDA doesn't need to charge, as she siphons void magic. Maybe rarely.
And plus she can't be repaired by normal means, at least not actually replacing her hull.
As for everything else, that should be fine. HILDA runs on electricity as well as void magic.

HILDA would not only be damaged by electricity but also antivoid.

Post by: Akroma on June 03, 2014, 05:43:47 pm

what does DR: [number] mean`


as for Selina, does she really need to be nerfed *that* bad? As it stands, she is barely capable of doing..anything.


as for HILDA, there's a bit of a lore break here, she is not, infact, an AI. Technicaly, she is a part of a void entity that is used to animate golems and machinery, that got *corrupted* by creation. There is no such thing as an actual computer that is controling her robotic body. It contains a fist-sized core that can not be changed, and the rest of her body is more or less terminator 2 style alloy stuff. The whole robot theme is more of an identity crisis. Though it does also mean her reaction time is not perfect.


Which btw gives me an idea for the flaw you were asking for - void creatures are vulnerable to creation magic. Though considering that would mean all magic that is not void magic, that might be a WAY more harmfull flaw than what is still needed. I guess limiting it to specific anti-void measures would be better. Anti-void fields would not immediatly desintegrate her, but may fuck up with her senses, maybe give some debuffs etc.




Also, similarly to ICARUS that too, is less of an AI and more of a modern day spirit that posesses computers, hacking is really not the trouble. Remember how it was a large character arc that ICARUS discovered she could actually ignore the -hardcored- prime directives. Whatever programming is going on on the body Icarus is in, her presence in it overrides it.


the actual problem would be, though nobody ever tried that, an excorcism. If actually driven out of a sufficently advanced computer to sustain her, Icarus would probably not live long. Of course, excorcisms are time-intensive things, and considering Icarus appearance and lack of actual data on what is going on (with her being the first (I guess?) of her kind), an excorcism may be a bit counter intuitive. It may be a bit more intuitive for HILDA, as unlike Icarus, she gives of a clear void presence. The TN would probably still be rather high.

edit: I forgot to mention, but what happens to HILDA having 4 standard forms to switch inbetween?

Spoiler: Ashley Davis (click to show/hide)

REGULAR FORM
      -Ashley Davis
Gender: Female
Age: In Creation years, 23.
Appearance: Image (http://i.imgur.com/sX9EpsA.jpg)
Stats
Health - 17 -51 HP
Mana - 10 - 20 MP
Speed - 17
Skill - 22
Strength - 15
Mag - 12
Defense - 10
Resistance - 13
Perks:
   Deadeye- If the character's skill roll fails by a margin of 2 or less, the attack lands as if it landed successfully by 1.
   Counter-Strike- If Ashley successfully dodges an attack, she can counter-attack once for free, while still rolling for the Fatigue Katana if it is being used. (This again, can be upgraded every 9 stat points in Speed. So at 18, it'll be 2 strikes, and at 27 it'll be 3, etc.)
   Chained- Ashley chains together tele-strikes, with a max of 2. (This max will increase every 8 skill stat points. So at 24, it'll increase to 3, then at 32 it'll be at 4.)

Level 5
Exp: 20

Equipment:
Voidwalker clothing- Can exist both in Creation and Void on its own. A gift from Void to Ashley after she was killed in the Dumah fight. When her weapon is drawn, black Mordite plating covers her from head to toe. When the plating forms in Creation, it has no weight since it is not of Creation and doesn't have the same properties. (+1 Defense when it's in its regular form. +2 defense, +1 resist to standard magic (due to Mordite plating) when in armored form.)
Embargo Katana- Lowers the Speed and Strength stats of enemies temporarily when struck (Amount lowered is the difference of the Skill and Dodge rolls, divided evenly between Speed and Strength. In the case where the difference cannot be divided evenly, Speed has the higher debuff). Can only cause damage if the Strength vs Defense roll is won, where damage is calculated with half the normal damage.
Mordite Blade- Sword made of Mordite, which is pure void, extremely concentrated into a metal. Requires summoning (+7 to damage (High Quality), and increased damage to beings of Creation. Ignores most armor. Costs 7 mana to successfully summon, and lasts 5 turns. TN: 3 If the roll is failed, then the mana is not spent.)
Katana- A regular, steel katana. Basic +3 damage.

Ability: Void Manipulation.

Negligible: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 5 mile radius.
OR
Pumps a very small amount of void energy into a target, causing +1 damage to beings of Creation.

Small: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 25 mile radius, or 5 mile radius and up to three passengers.
OR
Pumps a small amount of void energy into a target, causing +2 extra damage to beings of Creation.

Medium: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 75 mile radius. (TN: 3)
OR
Pumps a medium amount of void energy into a target, causing +4 extra damage to beings of Creation. (TN: 3)

Big: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 300 mile radius. (TN: 6, or 3 and she gains Fatigue III. -3 to Speed and Strength Rolls until Rested.
OR
Pumps a large amount of void energy into a target, causing +6 extra damage to beings of Creation. (TN: 6, or 3 and she gains: Parched- May only cast a max of 3 more damage-based void spells until combat ends.)

Enormous: Teleportation anywhere reasonable within a 1000 mile radius. (TN: 9, or 6 and she gains Fatigue IV. -4 to Speed and Strength rolls until Rested.)
OR
Pumps an enormous amount of void energy into a target, causing +8 extra damage to beings of Creation (IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MULTIPLIER. IT IS ADDED AFTER!). (TN: 9, or 6 and she gains: Near Empty- May only cast one more damage-based void spell until combat ends. Replaces Parched.)

**Upon Ashley killing a target with a damage-based void spell, if she has Drained, it is replaced with Near Empty. If she has Near Empty, it is replaced by Parched. If she has Parched, it is removed entirely.

Special: Chaos Star Barrage- A bubble of void is created around the target, allowing Ashley to move extremely fast within. She depletes all of her mana for x amount of strikes, where x = mana left/2. Her strikes auto hit, but a SkillvSpeed roll is still made for the Embargo katana debuff. Deals magic damage equal to a medium spell (see above medium spells if target is of Creation). Gains Fatigue III (-3 SPD and STR rolls), and she gains Empty- She may not cast any more damage spells.
Special: Piercing The Vale and Beyond- Ashley fills her hands with void energy and uses it as a propellant to launch a weapon or object at an enemy through a portal. -6 mana, and adds 60% STR to the damage.

difference between speed and dodge roll?


speed is the dodge roll. Skill is the hit roll. though it seems more like something that requires you to hit, and if you hit, roll a mag vs resistance, and the effect depends on that, as it is a supernatural effect that requires to be resistant

how big of an act is summoning the mordite sword? Maybe add that to the sheet

oh and I notice now, your TNs are a taaad bit high. We are rolling on the stats, not stat+d20. The magic part of the rules explains how high TNs are depending on the act, and how magic attacks work. As Alucard uses basicaly the same way of using void energy to damage beings, you should check his charsheet as a referance. Or not, he did not write that down. Anyway, negliable and minor have no TN, then 3, then 6 OR 3 with a minor drawback, then 9 OR 6 with a minor drawback etc.

Also, due to how she summons it, the mana isn't actually spent unless the roll to summon succeeded.

Post by: Akroma on June 03, 2014, 06:18:51 pm

that's fine, anyway, take a look at the TNs and how rolls work in the system. With a d15 (her mag stat) she is unlikely to beat a TN of 23 :P

So ICARUS is the Angel from Borderlands?

HILDA may be part of a void entity, but the fragment of that void entity was tasked with running a simulation of a person that died. Creation infested the fragment, making it so that the simulation continued despite Belkelel's efforts to retrieve the fragment.
HILDA can technomance, but only technomance herself--but she can do a lot with herself, like shapeshift her body and transfer power to different parts (hence how she can move her stats around). Her shapeshifting isn't as complex as Bartimaeus's, as it is centered around her core and conservation of mass plays a role unlike Bartimaeus. She also can't shapeshift into different materials like he can. She can shapeshift into things like metalloids so that her electronics can function, but yeah. She uses her magic to fly (but she can also turn herself into a nuclear reaction, thus going way faster.).
What HILDA can do, is with some time, technomance an entirely new AI and allow it to take control of her body. Same with parts that she detaches from herself--she can put an AI into the separate part. Her body pretty much runs on mostly electricity and void magic, being able to convert void magic to electricity.

I just came up with a weapon idea.
What if you could shoot lightning at shit by creating a huge potential difference in charges with void magic?

I'm pretty sure HILDA can shift her stays around and fly more than thirty feet high.
Plus HILDA doesn't need to charge, as she siphons void magic. Maybe rarely.
And plus she can't be repaired by normal means, at least not actually replacing her hull.
As for everything else, that should be fine. HILDA runs on electricity as well as void magic.

HILDA would not only be damaged by electricity but also antivoid.

The first couple of points are issues from cost.
If people are willing to let HILDA go over the disadvantage cap, I can fiddle with things until they work to PrivateNomad's pleasure. Any opposition?

Quote from: Akroma on June 03, 2014, 05:43:47 pm

what does DR: [number] mean`

DR is short for Damage Resistance. It's basically armor. The number is the number of points of damage negated, but since damage, armor, and such work differently in this system than GURPS, it needs fiddling.

Quote

as for Selina, does she really need to be nerfed *that* bad? As it stands, she is barely capable of doing..anything.

She never was a combat character. And she's still capable of doing lots of stuff. In fact, given how little she has been using her ability lately, I'd say it wouldn't affect anything except preventing her from making magical items.

Quote

as for HILDA, there's a bit of a lore break here, she is not, infact, an AI. Technicaly, she is a part of a void entity that is used to animate golems and machinery, that got *corrupted* by creation. There is no such thing as an actual computer that is controling her robotic body. It contains a fist-sized core that can not be changed, and the rest of her body is more or less terminator 2 style alloy stuff. The whole robot theme is more of an identity crisis. Though it does also mean her reaction time is not perfect.

She still acts as an AI, as far as I was aware.
Was.

Quote

Which btw gives me an idea for the flaw you were asking for - void creatures are vulnerable to creation magic. Though considering that would mean all magic that is not void magic, that might be a WAY more harmfull flaw than what is still needed. I guess limiting it to specific anti-void measures would be better. Anti-void fields would not immediatly desintegrate her, but may fuck up with her senses, maybe give some debuffs etc.

Noted.

Quote

Also, similarly to ICARUS that too, is less of an AI and more of a modern day spirit that posesses computers, hacking is really not the trouble. Remember how it was a large character arc that ICARUS discovered she could actually ignore the -hardcored- prime directives. Whatever programming is going on on the body Icarus is in, her presence in it overrides it.

Odd. And not something I was aware of.

Quote

the actual problem would be, though nobody ever tried that, an excorcism. If actually driven out of a sufficently advanced computer to sustain her, Icarus would probably not live long. Of course, excorcisms are time-intensive things, and considering Icarus appearance and lack of actual data on what is going on (with her being the first (I guess?) of her kind), an excorcism may be a bit counter intuitive. It may be a bit more intuitive for HILDA, as unlike Icarus, she gives of a clear void presence. The TN would probably still be rather high.

Noted. There's probably something to simulate that.

Quote

edit: I forgot to mention, but what happens to HILDA having 4 standard forms to switch inbetween?

What's the difference between the forms? Is it comparable to the differences between ICARUS's chassises?

Why do you roll a die equal to your magic stat for magic? That means no one can use all of their abilities without sinking most of their points into magic. And that's not considering mana cost.

Basically HILDA technomances a computer chip and formulates an AI inside of it. It takes a lot of time, but she can do it. She could also shapeshift something like a USB port into her and allow an AI to control her body, but her core and actual conscious will still be there, just not really active. Hell, ICARUS could probably use HILDA's body if she wanted too.

May as well add my bit too.

Vampiric activity has increased overall in the world, with an entirely new global organization revealing itself as 'Sanguine' now entering the global field along with organizations such as IRIS. They claim that their goal is to better the relationship between humans and vampires, but it appears as if the exact opposite is happening as the vampires spread. Sanguine is rapidly rising in numbers, and is led by a mysterious man only known as 'The Bewitcher'. They receive money from an unknown source, but the collaboration within is high as the vampires join in for a common cause.

Spoiler: Opening Selina Post. WIP (click to show/hide)

Selina has become somewhat more paranoid over the years, not leaving home much as Vampires become more common, and Government Agents constantly checking on her to make sure she isn't abusing her creation magic. Shes still staying at Maria's house, paying a small rent for using utilities and to help with food from the money she makes from selling her pictures online, attempting to use as little of her massive savings as possible for emergencies and later stuff in life.

She finished high school, but didn't want to go to college much, preferring to sell her art. Doing this, shes been making about $800 on a bad month, and about $3000 dollars on a good month.

Should probably think of what Stella is up to, she was already in the last year of school when she came to this world and has half a year of being an official adult in Australia. SO in five years she would have probably done her bachelor degree, although WHERE is an issue, some people would know she is not fully human, and she would want to stay with Will too. And depending on what GWG's dragons are up to they may want her to keep in contact too.

Having left for New York for a new mission, Samson began work as a Pop Idols body guard. Two years into the mission Samson was jumped while escorting the Idol to her next show, ending with him bleeding from the neck and the perp dead. Shade made herself known by slaughtering everybody within range of Samson's shadow. As Samson breathed his last, Shade began to change, her hatred and wrath corrupting her once innocent personality. She soon became a Spirit demon, cursing all of New York with the agony and misery Shade felt from losing the one person she loved. The people still in New York had their shadows devoured by the now Demonic Shade killing them instantly. Two years later the whole of New York is known as the Eternal Twilight due to the constant Solar eclipse caused by Shade's massive curse. Over the next year people would attempt to enter into the Eternal Twilight to loot the now empty stores and banks, but no one who has entered has been seen or heard from.

By the way, with the whole anti-magic fields and whitelisting, people should post about wether or not they are white listed.

As a general rule of thumb, magic that could be used for good business with relatively low threat potential would likely be whitlisted - Alice healing magic as a magical vet for example. People Like Alucard who summon monsters and create miniature black holes would kinda have a problem explaining the government why that sorta magic should be allowed in public places.

note, coverage in most cities is still poor, mostly over government related buildings, business districts and stuff like that, so you'd only have problems in certain areas not, non-stop


as far as new york goes, examples like this is why magic is handled so strictly now. It's not something the world can't recover from, but certainly leaves an impression - like Hiroshima left an impression on nuclear proliferation

True, but the loss of Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't cripple the world's economy - unlike the takeover of New York. That'd probably destroy society through starting up another great depression, leaving the world as some sort of survivalist nightmare with the addition of magic. I personally don't want that, it'd ruin the game.

Couldn't new york be partially liberated with anti-magic fields? Man, if I was a PC, so much magiscience would ensue.

Post by: Akroma on June 04, 2014, 06:17:56 am

well, it might be some...other city than new york?


I mean, new york is probably full to the brim with magic dudes doign some super-hero stuff. I doubt that Sahde would actually be able to deal with the sheer amount of resistance he would face.




Icarus, as she is entirely unregistered, is of course blacklisted. That would mean inside an anti-magic field, she can not switch her body, which is technicaly, the only magical ability she possesses. The overdrive is more or less a mechanical function of her standard bodies. Should for any reason whatsoever she be forced inside a more primitive body, she'd be powerless. Of course that means if one of her bodies is destroyed inside an anti-magic field, she can't emergency upload herself to another one of her bodies via a remote connection, or even just jack into someones cellphone or laptop to save herself from complete deletion.


Alice is whitelisted


Alucard blacklisted


Stella whitelisted and registered in all her forms. I suppose with dragons being more common now, there might even be some form of diplomatic immunity going on


Selina would be whitelisted, but her business often subject to checks if anything illegal is going on - demonstratively


HILDA would have to register her standard forms, but of course shifting into weaponry outside of a gun range or when hunting (with a hunters license) would not be legal, at least in france.


Lizzy would probably not register herself


Winry I suppose would be similar to Selina, could be whitelisted for an electronics store.


Ashley might have a partial whitelist to teleport to public places in the EU - elsewhere, she'd probably need to teleport to teleporter stations (assuming teleports are common enough), where her passport would be checked, I mean, international travel is international travel. Not that someone can really stop her from just teleporting from places without coverage to places without coverage.


Sen would have less problems with anti-magic, I doubt they would be far spread in egypt.


Dalia, definetly blacklisted, that's very harmful magic.


Frederika, need I even explain it?

on a different topic, tried to use my mothers laptop to google something. So I open up chrome, and ho, the startsite is not google. It's not yahoo or bing either - but some super obscure probably malware riddled thing I never heared about.
I sigh, enter google in the search bar, which opens a yahoo search for google. I sigh some more, forget about whatever I wanted to google, and first set the start site to google, uninstall 3 toolbars and get adblock.
Now convinced that something is definetly not right, I download malwarebytes and run a search - 30.000 hits. Not 300, not even 3000. thirty thousand viruses and malwares and whatnot.
Of course, as soon as I try to delete the fuckers, the whole thing crashes, I restart and bam, screen is locked with blackmail stuff blah blah, pay us 100 dollars or we delete all files etc.


I sigh, and hope these fuckers do delete all files, they may actually get rid of some viruses along the way. I confiscated the laptop for now, and will completely whipe and reinstall it. And then I will get some child-proofing programm and block absolutely everything apart from email (with a new adress that is not signed up to every spam ever that she can click to get scammed by nigerians) and some game websites I trust.

apart from GWGs work, Sen still needs stats, alongside whatever secondary characters Projeck still wants to stat besides Ashley. Once those are done, I suppose the admin GM (that would be you), goes over the charsheets one more time, and double checks for wether or not someone needs some more adjustments. and we are good to go.

Well, I thought the destruction of several large banking firms would have severe ramifications on the economy, due to the massive stacks of debt everyone seems to have.

Either way, I don't think Shade is that powerful, considering there'd be magical opposition in the city anyway. Even if she managed to stomp the entire city, anti-magic specialists would be all over the city like a rash.

Let's get started on fixing HILDA.

Spoiler: HILDA's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Innate Attack (Magic Shot) (Magical Attack) (Stun upon Hit)
Flight
Morph (Semi-Cosmetic, Mass Conservation, Retains Shape)
Detect (Magic)
Absolute Timing
Doesn't Sleep
Intuitive Mathematician
Photographic Memory
Machine
Ad Hoc: Explosive abilities
Reduced Consumption 6

Fragile (Explosive)
Vulnerability (Electricity, x2)
Vulnerability (pure Creation magic, x4)
Weakness (Creation-infused locations, 1d/minute)
No Sense of Taste/Smell

Spoiler: HILDA Summary (click to show/hide)

I'll only list the changes, to be simple.

HILDA can now fly higher! Also, I ad-hocked in a bit of a modifier that lets her shuffle around stats as well as change appearance (it's still more limited than full Morph, so...-25% for "can only change stats", as opposed to -50% for "cannot change any game-mechanical features"). She is also not reprogrammable and only needs to recharge once a week. However, Creation magic harms her; attacks of more or less pure Creation magic (a blast created by Selina or an attack from Shys'm Caes would count, but not Stella or Nuriel's flame, Personae's attacks, or a random magical mook) deal quadruple damage, and HILDA takes damage from being in locations of unusually high Creation magic concentration. (What the heck this means will have to be determined by someone with a better grass on the Creation/Void lore. Let me know if this isn't a thing.) Finally, HILDA's mind is sufficiently different from machines and similar to humans that she can be affected by any telepathy and can only access the Internet and such via the old-fashioned method (or whatever new computer technologies they've developed), though she no longer has to worry about getting viruses from downloading suspicious software for no good reason.

Alright. If Nomad's fine with this (and the lore checks out), I think we're probably good.

Next, I'll handle "little" things like transferring the FP/HP to the Unnamed System's hitpoints and manapoints. Also armor.

Spoiler: Definitions (click to show/hide)

An "average human" has 10 in every Attribute and nothing special spent on anything relevant in GURPS, and has all stats at 5 in the Unnamed System.
An "above-average human" has 12 in every Attribute and 6 in every stat.
A "typical adventurer" has all relevant Attributes at 14 and all relevant stats at 6, though irrelevant Attributes/stats are probably dumped.

Spoiler: Hit Points (click to show/hide)

In GURPS, by default you get a number of hit points equal to your Strength. An average human has 10; an above-average one has 12; a typical adventurer has 14.
In the Unnamed System, you always have a number of hit points equal to triple your Health. An average human has 15; an above-average one has 18; a typical adventurer has 21, unless he has that HP-increasing perk, in which case he might have 28; let's call it 25 for the adventurer.
Clearly, people have about 50% more HP in the Unnamed System than in GURPS, though tough ones might have double! Let's say that, on average, people have 60% more HP in the Unnamed System than in GURPS.

Next, let's consider a typical adventurer hitting a typical, unarmored human with a typical sword. In GURPS, the hapless peasant takes 10 damage on a hit and the adventurer's expected DPT is slightly under seven. In the Unnamed System, he takes only 4 damage on a hit, and the expected DPT is under 2.3. Thus, attacks in the Unnamed System deal about 36% of the damage that GURPS attacks deal, despite the characters using them having 160% the hit points! I'm sure this points to something contrasting in their relative design philosophies.

The best way to take an average of things like these is to multiply them, since the mean would just give you slightly over half the greater one. This gives us ~0.58. Hit points and damage in the Unnamed System are about 0.58 of the same in the GURPS system. This is almost halfway between ¹/₂ and ²/₃. Keeping in mind the design philosophies, the conversion factor will be 0.67 when converting GURPS hit points and related, but 0.5 when converting GURPS damage and related. This will increase the disparity between damage and hit points to a level more comparable to the Unnamed System.

Spoiler: FP/Mana (click to show/hide)

In GURPS, Fatigue Points are spent on magic spells, and are also lost to many nonlethal attacks, exposure to the elements, and...well...fatigue. Also, having less than ¹/₃ of your FP starts to give you penalties from being...well...fatigued. For the purposes of these calculations, we'll assume a typical mage will typically spend up to ¹/₂ of his FP on spells. Thus, he would have about 7 available.
In the Unnamed System, mana is used for magic and nothing else, and there are no penalties for having a depleted mana pool. A typical mage will therefore be able to use all 14 of his mana points on spells.

It's hard to get a "typical cost" for GURPS spells, but the Fireball spell is a nice way to compare them. You can invest a number of FP into the spell equal to your magery level (must be at least 1, rarely exceeds 3) per second for up to three seconds, and each point of Energy deals a nice round 1d burning damage. This is equivalent to about 1.75 points of Unnamed System damage per die, as per the conversion factors discussed earlier. Assuming a target with a Resistance of 7 (above-average for a human but below-average for a major foe, probably about average for a mook), a typical mage with a Magic of 7 would deal the following amounts of damage on average:
Negligible--0 damage (which conveniently means that, for this example, 0 MP = 0 damage = 0 dice = 0 FP)
Small--1.75 damage = 1d = 1 FP
Medium--3.5 damage = 2d = 2 FP
The equation's linear, so this is convenient; two Unnamed System mana is roughly the same as one GURPS FP (for the sake of spellcasting). This works out, as the mana pool of an Unnamed System mage is about twice the practical "mana pool" of a GURPS one.

This, any FP costs meant to represent mana costs, cost double the FP taken to fuel it in mana.

Spoiler: Armor (click to show/hide)

In GURPS, armor reduces damage dealt. For some things (like Stella's fire resistance), we can just use the above calculations and halve the amount to determine the amount subtracted from damage. For others, though, more conventional armor rules would be better. We'll need to figure out the effect on DPT to do this one.

Let's take the aforementioned example of a hapless peasant being hit with a broadsword. Let's give him a breastplate, medium armor if my D&D experience has taught me anything. In GURPS, damage is reduced by a whopping 71% (that's by, not to, while the Unnamed System reduces damage by a bit under 30%. Interesting, and probably points once more to the design philosophies, but now that I try to interpret it, not helpful. However, the 30% mark might give us a number to look for, for determining how much X type of armor in DR should cost.
Then I realize that we can just boost Defense for that. *facepalm*

Spoiler: Combat Calculations (click to show/hide)

HP
GURPS
Let's use a broadsword as a typical sword. It can either slash, dealing one's swinging damage plus one cutting, or stab, dealing one's thrusting damage plus one crushing. It's probably better to slash with this type of sword, so let's do that. A typical adventurer's ST of 14 has a swinging damage of 2d(6); since it's cutting, the damage that makes it through the lack of armor (on average, 7 in this case) is multiplied by 1.5. Average damage on a hit: 10.5. We should also consider the chance of hitting; there is a 90% chance that the adventurer will make his Skill roll, but a separate 26% chance that the hapless peasant dodges the attack. Thus, the average damage per turn (DPT) is 10.5*0.9*0.74=~7.
Unnamed System
The adventurer's damage dealt is 1d7+3-1d5 (the defender's Defense). On average, this is 4+3-3 or 4. The adventurer rolls a d7 for his Skill to hit; the hapless peasant rolls a d5 for his Speed. What's the chance of a hit? Sadly, it's a bit more complicated to calculate than in GURPS, because the number the attacker has to exceed is random. I have a table, though.
#######
#######
#######
#######
#######
As you can see, there is a 20/35 or a 4/7 chance of hit. Expected DPT is just under 2.3.

Armor
GURPS
The typical rolled damage for the broadsword was 7. A Steel Breastplate reduces this by 5, to 2. Since it's a cutting weapon, this is multiplied by 1.5, to 3. USing the same calculations as above (this is a peasant who knows how to use armor?), the DPT is just under two. This is less than 29% of what it would be without armor.
Unnamed System
The adventurer deals 1d7+3-1d8 damage on a hit. This is 4+3-4.5 or 2.5. To determine the hit chance, we need a whole new chart.
#######
#######
#######
#######
The chance is 18/28, or 64%. DPT is 1.6, nearly 70% of what it was without armor.

that is, anti-void magic. I think she adapted to creation well enough that just being in creation does not destroy her - at least not instantly.


but remember that her substance is slowly degrading, as it can't eternaly exist inside of creation. Which more or less is an equivalent to aging, really. So not, she can't exist in creation forever, and unless she does some deals with the void, will eventually age and die. Which in itself, barely counts as a disadvantage. "not immortal".

Some of those refer to HP/damage or cost FP, which needs to be converted to mana if it's going to be used in combat. (If nothing else, it lets us figure out how much of the effect is going to be applied to what "spell level".)

That's specifically pure Creation magic that is intended to damage. Normally-damaging magic from a Creation source wouldn't be multiplied, nor would a healing Creation spell.

It's treated as the norm. "Unaging" is an advantage. "Ages faster" is a disadvantage (as is "dies quickly upon reaching "old age" rather than dying slowly"). Granted, the latter is a disadvantage specifically stated to not be good for short-term campaigns...

• Takes double damage to anti-void attacks.
• Unable to shapeshift inside an anti-void field or when encased in an anti-void material.
• Cannot teleport in an anti-void field or out of an anti-void material/field.
• Has some creation inside of him.

Pros:

• Can shapeshift into any mundane material, but cannot shapeshift into any subatomic particle.
• Has incredible cognitive ability as well as an acute photographic memory, able to shapeshift into someone a few moments he sees them.
• Hinted to have several active consciousnesses.
• Can shapeshift his voice.
• Can shapeshift his magic into very weak forms of creation.
• Can shapeshift his personality at ease.
• His essence is more 'erratic' than your average void entity. This lets him explode at will, costing him a longer reformation time.

• Hinted to have a true form, and has even used his true voice before.
• ~5,000 Years old.

funfact, this is the first figma that happens to be more poseable than the charming drossel (the HYDRA body), which nope, can not cross her arms in front of her body - something I really only noticed when they mentioned it here (at least when the arms are kept straight). She also does not have that advanced hand-joints that allows turning her hands at such an angle - in fact because her hands are super filigrane and delicate, they have rather primitive joints. And of course she has no feet. The one arm pose shows clearly that the new saber also picks up on what the drossel had which was miles above other figures - double joints in elbows, and probably also knees.


also, it's pre-order is already out of stock...only 18 hours after the opening :(


oh well, I'll be happy with my drossels...probably...

hey, I realised there is something we still need a rule for


leveling.


this is mostly a concensus thing, on how fast everyone wants the game to progress. Assuming small plots give on average 50 exp, medium plots about 100 and long plots about 150, differentiated between individual performance etc, and level ups starting at 100, then 110 etc. How much Stat points should be given for each level? Also, what about perks? Perhaps levels can be used to buy special equipment? Perhaps modular, so someone could decide between stats, a new perk, or special equipment? With GWGs Gurps-perking, conversion between stats and the value of a new perk can be easily done (and may require saving up between levels for huge perks), but gets a bit fuzzy with equipment. I suppose equipment may just be priced as if it was an equivalent ability or perk. Of course equipment would need at least minimal justification, and stranger perks probably too. Nope, can't just buy excalibur.

what matters is the consens, how fast should the game progress? Just one stat point per level? 3? 5? This is not an easy decision.

Not including equipment makes sense, I suppose. Though with the perks system, including the occasionallymentioned Gadget Limitations, it would make sense that we could add new, significant equipment that would often be used that way. For instance, Will's poisoned dagger probably wouldn't need to be paid for (since Will doesn't knife-fight much and the knife isn't that much better than a normal knife), but Kyle's armor would be (since it's both commonly-used and a huge bonus to his abilities).
Another option to consider is if we want to award stat points at all, or just more PP and let people increase stats for 15 PP apiece. This would encourage more development of perks (which set people apart more than stats), but would also allow more min/maxing room.

Non-random perks would do that as well, if not better. After all, I'm willing to bet that the random perk system is less likely to give a well-fitting perk to, say, Will than I am, and more likely to give him (say) a melee-combat-enhancing perk or one that lets him berserk.

One of the points of this update was to curb the more overpowered stuff

Post by: Akroma on June 04, 2014, 05:36:34 pm

back then it didnt even provide statboosts, just the semi-flight

if it gives +2 speed and +1 strength alongside semiflight, it got *buffed*

but +13 in stats alongside semi-flight? Over the top.

Post by: kj1225 on June 04, 2014, 05:37:48 pm

It does make sense though, you'd be flying at a very high speed if you used it correctly.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Akroma on June 04, 2014, 05:39:36 pm

well, then it would also give you -6 in skill

what, you are moving super fast, and all your attention is on using it without crashing, hard to hit stuff, right?

I think +2 speed and +1 strength alongside semi-flight is more than enough. Note he does not need much of a speed buff, being a flying target already saves him from all non-ranged attacks. That is to be considered. Against melee targets that simply can not catch him while using it, he can just let the shadows do the work while doing drive-by attacks

((btw, he ain't 16 no more, unless he is 11 right now :p ))

Post by: kj1225 on June 04, 2014, 05:41:30 pm

He is dead.

Also, I doubt that would be the case as it wouldn't think that you'd use the gear for much other than hit and run, and it's hard to dodge what you don't see.

Post by: Akroma on June 04, 2014, 05:46:26 pm

which probably will not be left unpunished by GWG when he goes over it, also until Icarus gets her combat body back, she can not fly.


anyway, the problem is not the flight, it's the +13 in stats total, +2 with the weapon. +15 is about twice as much as was placed as the guideline for items to start with. Anyway, it's projeck who has to protest the nerf, if he even sees the need to. Not you. I will not argue with you about projecks charsheet. Also sleep time

Akroma isn't saying that he can't have it, he's just saying that he can't have a horribly broken version of it. And this is a problem. I'm not sure why any stat bonuses should be going along with it! (And I agree that there should be a skill penalty. You're moving fast, it should be harder for you to aim. If you're sneak-attacking with it, that should be a different thing entirely from the gear.)
kj, you know what "balance" is, right?

Okay, just think of how fast the 3D Maneuver Gear propels people. Fast enough to make it extremely hard to hit them. And with that speed, momentum plays a part. I'll nerf it a little. But not as drastic as you want.

But the problem is not the logic behind it, the logic makes sense. It is the stats themselves, just like Kyle's armour.

Post by: Projeck37 on June 04, 2014, 06:07:18 pm

And thus I question why it would be only +2 to Speed and +1 to Strength? And -6 to Skill? Think of this: Tobias has 5 years to perfect how to use the 3D maneuver gear, so no need for -6 to Skill. And he can find ways of making it go even faster, and thus increasing his momentum, thus increasing his Strength /past/ +1. And it's only a bonus if he's using it, which requires him to have plenty of room to use it. So for example, an urban environment would be perfect for them, but a hallway wouldn't. It's really not OP, and for good reason. His magic has pretty much proven useless in the past, with GMs of plots always ignoring that the Shadows have some sort of chance to do something, so he has good gear to make up for that. I have plenty of reason as to why it was why it was.

The "hard-to-hit" makes one equally hard to hit someone else. After all, motion is relative. If you're moving fast enough relative to an enemy that it's hard for him to hit you, he's moving fast enough relative to you to also make it hard for you to hit him. It's basic logic.

Your argument about weak magic is...interesting. Do you want me to stat up Tobias, and give him the advanced 3D gear and training and such as part of his power/perk package?

The -6 to skill was only a counterargument to the logic that going at intense speeds would provide that big a bonus to strength and speed.

Now that we have actual rules for the magic and abilities there is less of a chance of them being ignored, even if that wasn't the case we might as well give every summoner really good equipment as there is a chance their summons could be ignored by the gm.

Anyway I'll let GWG sort it out as he offered to stat it up

Tobias's shadows have repeatedly been just shrugged off. Given their turn, but not even rolled for. Not even a big one with a higher stat pool than any PCs was just thrown to the side and was said to "not do anything"

If it makes you feel better, I've been paying attention to your shadows when I've GM'd my plots.

Also, Dalia is more fleshed out. Maybe not 100% finished, but she should be good enough for RPing. And for being a plot hook for my next plot, which is surprisingly less far-reaching than the one I just dropped. Also I need to talk about what all of my characters did during the five-year timeskip, shouldn't I? I'll work on that now.

Again, no clue since I can't remember it at all. Might have just been bad rolls or something.

I remember more. You summoned a fuck-ton of shadows and I basically went, 'Screw this, I'm not spending an hour rolling a buttload of dice for little/no effect. He just gets a massive DEX debuff.' In other words mostly GM laziness. In the future I'd recommend summoning a more manageable number of shadows.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Kansa on June 04, 2014, 06:38:02 pm

In Luthar's case I think it was because he had an absolutely massive endurance stat, something like 50 and Sanure was using d50s to deal damage.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Projeck37 on June 04, 2014, 06:51:31 pm

Even then, the Shadow had like 35 or 40 as its STR stat, and like 15 for DEX. It totally could've dealt damage if Luthar rolled low enough, and it rolled high enough.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Kansa on June 04, 2014, 06:55:58 pm

It was 25, the shadow attacked Luthar three times. You might have just been unlucky.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: Projeck37 on June 04, 2014, 07:04:58 pm

But anyways, the point is, pretty much every GM that has had my shadows in combat, for the most part shrugged them off as doing nothing.

Shit that will happen to USEC's characters during the timeskip:

Spoiler: Ester Stigsson (click to show/hide)

Ester finishes high school and heads to university for a degree in graphic design, as it's a natural fit with her interests and talents. She joins the local magic society in her university, makes lots of good friends, and gets great marks for obvious reasons. She gets her powers registered obviously, so that she can use them for her photography. Her fangirl tendencies have faded away a bit, but she's still as giggly as ever. She tries to keep in touch with everyone she can using the bracelet system, especially Tobias now that she's living in the university dorms. Needless to say, her roommate has gotten to know him pretty well.

Spoiler: Lunette (click to show/hide)

A couple of years in the timeskip, Guinevere and Eleanor, the enchantresses from the Arthurian dimension, arrive at the castle/whatever to bring Lunette back home. She cries a lot and promises to write as much as she can. No one receives any letters from her after she returns home.

Spoiler: Rozaliya Maksimov (click to show/hide)

Two years into the timeskip, Rose suddenly dies for no readily apparent reason and her body turns into black goop like usual. Unlike usual, she doesn't return from the dead, and nobody ever sees her again. Spartak Sokolov and his cronies completely disappear off the face of the planet, but several other terrorist groups, inspired by his actions, plague Russia throughout the entire timeskip. No other digsites with symbols that match hers are ever found, and they'll probably remain a mystery forever.

Spoiler: Neferis (click to show/hide)

Neferis is still Neferis.

Spoiler: Dalia Simoneit (click to show/hide)

She hasn't even been introduced yet, geez. She's like, 12 right now so she's still going through grade school and stuff. Be patient.

Sanure, you should probably change what happens to Yomiko. Just a heads up. Also, because GWG made me realize how silly my tidbit number 3 was, here's my new one:

3. With access to teleportation magic, space flight becomes much more cheaper and practical, which has sparked a second space race. No longer constrained by orbital dynamics and rocketry, mankind has visited most of the (relatively) habitable planets and moons in the solar system, spurred on by feelings of national pride and the desire to be the first to do something. More practically, plans for Lunar and Martian colonies are in the works, and the number of probes in space has increased exponentially. Additionally many asteroids in the solar system are being prospected for metals and minerals, and several are being prepped for teleportation back to Earth to be mined. Needless to say the various governments of the world are scrambling to try and keep up with all of the legal cases and legislature that this second space race is creating.

Looks passable good?

It's pretty much the only thing he's got to be completely honest, so sure.

Alright. I'm glad we could work that out! Here goes...something...

And having finished the interruption of Real Life, here we go!

Spoiler: Tobias (click to show/hide)

No Body Heat: -5 Points
Distinctive Features (?): -1 points
Night Vision 10
Shadow Summoning (see below): 50 Points
Shadow Blast (Damage+Blinding): 30 points
3D Gear:
-Flight (must be within 5 feet of a surface, -10%; cannot hover, -15%; 3D lines count as "wings" since they can be targeted then you'll fall, -25%) (20 points)
-Clinging (obsoletion, -10%) (10 points)
-+2 Strength and +3 Speed (only in midair, -30%) (75 points)
-Obvious (how do you stealth in 3D gear?), -5%; Does not work in enclosed spaces, -25%
-Gadget Limitations: Breakable (takes 5 points less damage, no penalty to hit) (-35%), Can Be Stolen (forcible removal required) (-10%)
Total: 26 points

Spoiler: Shadows (and also Summon "Rules") (click to show/hide)

This spoiler is for discussing the Shadows and how the summoning-them ability works.

I decided I'd model it as being able to summon a specific shadow (of a given type) which happens to be unkillable. This means that no matter how many times you summon a shadow and it dies, it'll reform and be summonable again. Feel free to ignore this mechanical artifact and have Tobias summon separate shadows each time, though.
The Ally advantage has a base cost depending on the point cost (ie, power) of the ally relative to you. This cost is multiplied by an amount varying based on enhancements added. For this, Summonable is a no-brainer. It lets you roll to summon a shadow; if you fail, you can't summon him for a whole day, but if you succeed, he's around until you dismiss him. I thought a bit about it, before deciding that having them stick around for no longer than half an hour per summoning and be summonable after a failure were slightly on the stronger side, but not enough for more than a convenient rounding-up. I also added the Minion enhancement (because whether or not they're "minions" per se, they're intelligent, free-willed beings who are yet in sufficient awe or somesuch to follow Tobias's commands without needing him to worry himself about keeping them happy). I next added an ad hoc enhancement, the inverse of Untrainable, so I could fiddle the summoning back into the magic system. Overall, without other modifiers, such summons cost triple the base amount from points. That's important for non-Tobias people. For the record, this means that summoning a being as powerful as you with no roll required would cost 60 points--more than half of your perks! Oh, and it would get your character considered an immediate balance threat, especially if said character could also summon more things.

But back to Shadows.

All Shadows have some traits in common. First off, Shadow Form for -20 points. This restricts them to creeping along walls and floors like, well, shadows. In addition, it increases light-based attacks' damage by 50%. On the bright side, the disadvantage halves all physical damage and lets them move across walls and ceilings in a gravity-defying manner, and slip through cracks and such due to being two-dimensional. Next, I'll give them x2 Vulnerabilities to Fire and Light attacks for -30 and -20 points, respectively. This will mean that light-based attacks deal triple damage, not double, but A. there wasn't another way to finagle it and B. it seems logical that light-based attacks, presumably specialized for dealing with creatures of darkness, would be more effective than fire. (But mostly A.) They won't be manipulating anything with their "physical" bodies (more on that later), so let's give them No Manipulators. Add in Social Stogma (Monster) for -15 points because seriously how would a weird shadow monster be able to interact with normal society, and they have a total of -145 points, which means they can spend another 145 later. Let's start doing that.
First, Injury Tolerance (Diffuse). It means that attacks based on poking you (like spears, bullets, and curious children with sticks [okay, those would probably be Crushing unless they sharpened the sticks, but that's not important]) deal no more than a single point of damage, while other physical attacks don't deal more than two. Add in the Shadow Form, and all physical attacks deal only a single point of damage! It doesn't come cheap, though--100 points base, with me assuming that magical attacks which don't affect diffuse things are balanced by nonmagical attacks that do (ie, explosions, area-of-effect, etc). At this point, they have so many halvings that I'll just say they're immune to physical damage (except for magical weapons, which I'll let scratch them). They also get Unkillable 1, which is 50 points. That should be quite sufficient, for the "base template". To summarize, all shadows have:
-Injury Tolerance (Diffuse)
-No Manipulators
-Shadow Form (constant)
-Social Stigma (Monster)
-Vulnerabilities (Fire, Light; both x2)
-Unkillable 1
This package costs the five points total.

Now, then. Shadows also have other abilities. Let's give you one each of 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150-point shadows (which have the shadows traits plus some other ones). Let's go over them one by one.
Telekinesis is an important one. It lets them interact with the world. It costs 5 points per point of GURPS ST equivalence; I'll charge 10 per point of Unnamed System Strength. It also has some modifiers. First, since it's supposed to represent them sticking shadowy appendages into the world, it's Visible (reducing cost by 20%) and has only a single yard of reach (still longer than most arms; -30%). Some Shadows might have longer ranges; if so, it's noted. This costs five points per level.
Next comes ways to harm enemies--a Shadow Touch. First, an Affliction for Blindness, which reaches as far as the telekinesis (for the same reasons). It, um, blinds people (if they get hit and fail the resistance roll) for 30 seconds per point that they fail the roll; between the +50% for blinding and the -30% for being melee range (well, it was a bit of a hack, but it was in your favor), it costs 12 points. Stronger Shadows can cause severe bruising and aversion to darkness, as well.
Very strong shadows can possess people, and become less subtle (and all the more terrifying for it).
Finally, a bit of Terror given to the stronger shadows for their...scariness. This costs 30 points, -20% because it can't be deactivated, -10% for being magical in nature (and hence inhibited by antimagic fields and such), and -10% again for the fact that some people can develop immunity (Tobias, for instance, but also experienced monster hunters), making it 18 points.
I'll be assuming that the shadows have an equal number of stat points and PP. In fact, that's my default assumption!

25-point: Shadow Package [5], Shadow Touch (Default) [12], Telekinesis (ST 1) [5], Terror [18], Cowardice (9) [-15]*
*I couldn't get everything to fit otherwise. Basically, when threatened with the prospect of intense personal harm, they have a 60% chance of chickening out. If they're dragged into combat, they'll fight despite it, if they're threatened or cornered somehow. (They won't like it, but...)
50-point: Shadow Package [5], Shadow Touch (Default) [12], Telekinesis (ST 2) [10], Terror [18], Chill¹
75-point: Shadow Package [5], Shadow Touch (Default+damage²) [17], Telekinesis (ST 3) [15], Mana Dampener³, Terror [18], Improved Chill
100: SP [5], ST (2-yard, Default+damage+darkness aversion⁴) [19], Telekinesis (ST 4, 2-yard reach) [24], Improved Mana Dampener, Terror [18], Bright Shadow⁴, Improved Chill, _{3 unspent PP screw it}
125: SP [5], ST (2-yard, Default+damage+darkness aversion+sleep) [19], Telekinesis (ST 4⁶, 2-yard reach) [?], Improved Mana Dampener, Terror [18], Infections Attack⁶, Bright Shadow, Improved Chill, Pierce Glass⁷
150: SP [5], ST (2-yard, Default+damage+darkness aversion+sleep) [19], Shadow Possession [15]⁷, Telekinesis (ST 4, 2-yard reach) [], Improved Mana Dampener, Terror [18], Infectious Attack, Bright Shadow, Improved Chill, Pierce Glass, -15

1: All but the weakest shadows can lower the temperature of their surroundings. They can affect a four-yard radius within 10 yards of themselves, and decrease the temperature by up to 20 degrees at a rate of two degrees per second of concentration. More powerful shadows (those with Improved Chill) double the maximum difference and the rate to 40 and four degrees;
2: As a normal magical attack, except...you know...shorter-ranged.
3: Mana level is effectively lowered by one step when aimed at a shadow, due to it absorbing the magic or something. This gives a -2 on rolls to use magic on them--specifically, the Magic vs. Resistance ones. This penalty also applies to rolls by any magician who the shadow is holding, regardless of what the target is. More powerful shadows (those with Improved Mana Dampener) apply this effect to any mages within a yard of themselves.
4: The victim temporarily becomes terrified of darkness, unable to willingly come within about ten feet of shadows and unable to do anything but retreat if they get that close or closer. (This is Dread (Darkness, 3 yards).)
5: A perk that makes them that much more visible when they want to be, making it harder to miss them when they want to terrify people. It doesn't interfere with their ability to hide, though. (Based on Penetrating Voice.)
6: Shadows start to hit a "strength cap" at a certain point; their insubstantial limbs can't be quite as strong as real people, except for the most powerful shadows.
7: A shadow of this level can move through glass barriers, allowing them to more easily move about through windows and such.
8: The attack of very strong shadows carries a bit of a drawback. If someone is killed by it, they come back sunset after next as a shadowspawn, with most of the basic Shadow Package except the actual shadow form (although they are still made of shadow, and hence only take 1 damage from physical attacks not more effective than average against them), plus they have the basic (blinding) Shadow's Touch. This is a downside because the shadowspawn are still free-willed and in no way tied to any existing Shadows (or Tobias), and they're not going to be happy about being turned into a monster.
9: Shadows' Possession has a number of qualifiers. As per standard GURPS possession, they need to be in contact with the subject; I'll rule that this means that the shadow's actual shadowy bit needs to be in contact with the subject, or at least his shoes, and give them a 5% discount for their trouble. You also need to concentrate on the possession for a turn, which means no using Shadow Touch or telekinesis or anything that turn. If the host resists, that particular shadow can never attempt to possess that particular person again. -10% for not getting memories, -20% for being clearly affected by the possession (with Social Stigma (Monster) and some extremely Unnatural Features), and -25% for taking mana (10, to be exact). Another ad hoc 15% based on the Spiritual limitation: They can be exorcised with typical methods, and if the victim is hit with lasers, light magic, or the like, the shadow takes an equal amount of damage to what the host does (or, if it doesn't affect normal humans, what it would do to the Shadow if it lacked its light vulnerability), while if the host is hit with flame, the shadow takes half the damage the host does. It now costs only 15 points!

---

Now for the easy bit: Figuring out how much each one costs. Here's how I'm doing it:

1. Compare strength of summon to strength of character.
This is pretty simple. It'll work like the table on page 37 of the GURPS book. Pretend that there's an entry for 125% that says "8 points".

2. Figure out an appropriate Frequency of Appearance given the stated difficulty and the character's Magic
Basically, figure out how likely it is that the character will succeed on summoning the creature based on the Target Number. The likeliness contributes to a modifier based on percentages:
100%--x4
95%--x3
90%--x2.8
80%--x2.3
75%--x2
66%--x1.8
50%--x1.3
40%--x1
33%--x0.9
20%--x0.75
10%--x0.5
Round everything up to a reasonable fraction. I'm being nicer than GURPS by allowing such a fine series of gradiations.

3. Apply Modifiers, then Round Up
Applying the default, refined Unnamed System summon rules applies a +200% modifier. You can summon the creature with a successful Magic roll at any time, and it has to follow your commands until it leaves when either dismissed (which automatically happens when the summoner goes unconscious or falls asleep, unless they get along) or at the end of a half-hour or so (though with a good relation between summoner and summon, the summon would be able to perform tasks in its own realm for longer than that). Fiddling with these basic rules, whether by adding more of a mana cost, increasing or decreasing the casting time (default: 1 turn) or time staying, or something else, adds additional modifiers. Once all the modifiers are added, multiply the cost appropriately and round up any remaining fractions.

4. If applicable, apply Alternate Ability rules
This is going to cost a lot. But have no fear! By saying you can only have one summon summoned at a time, you pay full cost only for the most expensive and 20% for the rest! If you can summon two at a time, pay full for the two most expensive and you get a discount on the others, and so forth. This should make summoning cheaper. Since I'm feeling generous (and all the rounding's been against you so far), you can round down as long as you're paying at least 1 point for any non-negligible summons. ("Negligible" is in the eye of the beholder; if your summons are all woodland creatures, a wolf isn't negligible, but if you can summon, say, 200-point incarnations of various natural forces, it kinda is.)

So let's apply this to Tobias's shadows.
25: 1*4=4
50: 2*2.8=5.6
75: 3*2=6
100: 5*1.8=9
125: 8*1.3=10.4
150: 10*0.9=9
Next, since we don't have any special changes to the summoning rules, we simply triple prices. 12, 17, 18, 27, 32, 27. All but the 125-point summoning get divided by 5. Total cost: 2+3+3+5+32+5=50. That...wasn't intentional, but it's convenient.

Spoiler: Tobias Summary (click to show/hide)

His magic comes in two forms: He can summon Shadows, which are remarkably powerful (see other spoilers for details). He can only summon one at once, but who needs more than one...especially if it's one of the stronger ones? He can also fire shadowy blasts, which not only damage enemies but also blind them! It has a downside; he saps life from lifeforms nearby. This has negligible effect on larger lifeforms, except in extreme cases like hanging around a specific tree for a week or passing a bush daily for a while, but it's devastating on smaller animals and plants. On one hand, it means that insects and small rodents won't draw close; on the other hand, it means that stealth outside is tougher, as is hiding your magic, and...well...most people find it creepy. Shadowman doesn't make friends easily.
I've been able to replace this with a refiddling of the 3D gear, a creepy lack of body heat, and some kind of distinctive features. I dunno, all-black eyes or something? Something obvious if he doesn't hide it. Or, and he can see in the dark.
He also owns 3D gear, which practically lets him fly as long as he's close enough to a wall or something, as well as letting him put more force behind his physical attacks and making him harder to hit.

Spoiler: Shadow Summary (click to show/hide)

Shadows are queer beings. They typically do nothing more than creep along walls and other surfaces, unnaturally. They can be held back by nothing short of basically hermetically sealing the room you're in. They fear no mortal weapons, and can extrude insubstantial appendages into our world. Needless to say, people tend to fear them, and some attempt to kill them on sight.
All shadows take no damage from mere mortal weapons, unless they're enchanted (which lets them do one damage per hit, unless enchanted to do more). Magic still affects them, though; fire magic deals twice as much damage, and light-based attacks (magic or no) deal triple damage! Their shadowy limbs can blind victims, and for stronger shadows cause physical damage,instill an unnatural fear of darkness, or simply put the victim to sleep. The soul of anyone killed by a strong enough shadow's touch is infused with enough shadowy essence that it is bound to this world as a shadowspawn. Stronger shadows drain magic from their surroundings, making it harder to cast spells on or too close to them. The strongest shadows are also able to possess people, though this is obvious; shadows cannot hide themselves in human hosts, nor do they have the ability to access their hosts' minds. Exorcism or fire (or light attacks) are needed to free the victim. Shadows are not as strong as humans, but take heed; many can still kill a man, and in the right circumstances, any can drive him insane.

TL;DR: Shadows are monsters of nightmare.

Hopefully this gives you an overview. See the main spoiler for specifics and don't be afraid to ask me questions if you're confused.

Ugh. That took so long, and got interrupted so many times. Here's hoping it works! And those shadows had better work, figuring out their powers took up most of my time. I'll let Projeck deal with their stats, with the reminder that he probably doesn't need to give them Strength.

Quote from: Projeck37 on June 04, 2014, 06:20:10 pm

Tobias's shadows have repeatedly been just shrugged off. Given their turn, but not even rolled for. Not even a big one with a higher stat pool than any PCs was just thrown to the side and was said to "not do anything"

*Projeck sighs.

Heh. That had better not happen this time, especially given the potentially battle-changing effects some of them have. Blindness and such for the weakest, things like possession and save-or-lose for the stronger ones...
Although with only one unit at a time, it'll be easier.

3. With access to teleportation magic, space flight becomes much more cheaper and practical, which has sparked a second space race. No longer constrained by orbital dynamics and rocketry, mankind has visited most of the (relatively) habitable planets and moons in the solar system, spurred on by feelings of national pride and the desire to be the first to do something. More practically, plans for Lunar and Martian colonies are in the works, and the number of probes in space has increased exponentially. Additionally many asteroids in the solar system are being prospected for metals and minerals, and several are being prepped for teleportation back to Earth to be mined. Needless to say the various governments of the world are scrambling to try and keep up with all of the legal cases and legislature that this second space race is creating.

Looks passable good?

Yup. It's inspired a new Tidbit from me:

4. With the dawn of what some are calling Mithril Age of Space Travel, putting a satellite into Low-Earth Orbit and even higher orbits became much, much cheaper. This lead to a proliferation of satellites for various purposes, from major (allowing all locations to receive satellite-based telecommunications and surprisingly fast Internet) to petty (an array of geosynchrous communication satellites which keeps one over a given city at all times). Unfortunately, collisions between satellites, often involving so called pirate satellites put in orbits without proper permission, have caused many to believe that Kessler Syndrome is going to be coming into play shortly. It is feared that this could destroy countless satellites, crippling much of the global communications network, especially in poorer countries, and possibly even leading to spacecraft debris crashing to Earth. A spacecraft sent up to try and curb the issue by safely de-orbiting defunct or illegal satellites was famously struck by another satellite within hours of deployment.

The Map of the Cosmos (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5077167#msg5077167)
▼The Fundamental Aspects of the Universe
     There are three main aspects that the entire cosmos consists of--Creation, Void, and Twilight. These can be mixed together to create other things such as demons, who are a mix of Creation and Void.

Spoiler: Creation (click to show/hide)

Creation is the most known and the most diverse of the three aspects, and where everything that was created dwells. The laws of creation were set in stone and created by Shys'm Caes (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg4509359#msg4509359), the creator of the universe. It is the direct opposite of the void.

▼Summary

• Most magic is composed of this, from your everyday healing to the blazing fireball.
• Composed of many 'layers' such as Hell, Purgatory, etc. See The Map of the Cosmos (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5077167#msg5077167).

Spoiler: Void (click to show/hide)

The Void is the direct opposite of Creation, and encompasses the aspect of nothing--this means that the void is not in creation, and in fact constant fights Creation. The Void is separated from Creation by the Wall of Stars, a massive reservoir of pure energy that divides the two and is also where most magic users siphon their magic from. The Void contains 12 domains which make up the 'fringe', the area that borders Creation. And these domains are led by 12 Sultanes who themselves are forces of the void that take interest in Creation.

▼Summary

• Most void magic is designed to harm Creation. The most common void magic is brought into existence and can cause things of Creation to cease to exist.
  ^{○Other forms of void magic include things such as: Void fire, poison, vortexes etc.}
  

Spoiler: Twilight (click to show/hide)

Twilight includes anything that isn't Creation nor Void, such as Wall Street and Persona.
▼Includes:

• Fate: A force concerned with the inevitability with things. See Empiricist's Lore (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5336842#msg5336842).
  
• Persona: Need I say more? Includes the Collective Conscious, an entire collection of the human thought.
  

Spoiler: Other Dimensions (click to show/hide)

• (Twilight) Wall Street: A dimension where economics act as the physical laws. See Empiricist's Lore (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5336842#msg5336842)
  
• (Twilight) The Gallery: An extra-dimensional art gallery owned by Grandiose.
  
• (Void) The Other Place: A mysterious dimension that resides as the border between the Wall of Stars and the void. See PrivateNomad's Lore (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130072.msg5332560#msg5332560).
  
• (Creation/Void) Hell: A place where most souls go after people die.

As I understand it, the creator of the universe was bound into a Japanese lineage and somehow this made her only able to screw with blood. Ask ragnarok, if you can; lately, though, he's been scarcer than Elf.

By the way, what's been happening the last dozen pages or so? Maybe two dozen? Anything of note happen since we took down the Order?

Well, it's more a case that God got bound to her bloodline.

Apparently, her ancestors tried to seal God due to the latter being on one of her usual murder sprees, and from my understanding, did such a pathetic job at that, that God actually felt sorry for them and was sealed out of sheer pity.

Okay, just think of how fast the 3D Maneuver Gear propels people. Fast enough to make it extremely hard to hit them. And with that speed, momentum plays a part. I'll nerf it a little. But not as drastic as you want.

what you have now, +5 to speed and +3 to strength is more reasonable. It's still rather strong, but since it has certain limitations, like being impossible to be used indoors (unless indoors is something huge like a sports stadium), or in wide open paces with nothing to grapple to.
I still think it should give -1 skill

Post by: Akroma on June 05, 2014, 04:52:06 am

also, holy baby jesus that wall of text for summoning.

would it really be so horrible to just stick to the summoning rules we have? I mean, to summon a shadow equal in stats to the PCs, he has to roll a 9, his mag is 20, so he only has a 55% chance that it will work (and having *that* high in mag should enable him to do some serious magicing), takes a turn of delay before it can act and even than will only stay for a limited amount of time.

I do not find that overpowered at all. The limited duration really is the main balancing factor for strong summons, as they only give a temporary advantage



((Also to be honest, since Projecks, PrivateNomads and My plot are all void-centered, I did kinda hope Rag might not return. So many lore arguements....))

yeah, and the initial parts where all approved off. Then he disappeared for a long long time, and stopped answering my PMs, so planing continued without him.

That being said, regardless of any of the plots ahead, I would never ever approve of a player whose characters are a) the god that created the universe and b) the entity that controls everything outside of the universe.

I will leave that up to smurf, but as a rule of thumb, neither are characters that are good for the flow of the game, but rather maximum potential plot breakers. Even when powered down to player level, there is just too much *knowledge* going on. And as far as the power levels go, last thing I remember Caes wanted to transfer all the power of the overgod to selina

Am I a hive mind now? :P Yes, I am indeed cynical, but I am not necessarily negative, otherwise, I wouldn't be helping out with this reconstruction, would I? I wouldn't be even commenting.

At the end of the day, this RP appears to me as a social experiment, after all, it is a game with lore and plots both produced and managed by the players. Hence, I am merely commenting on changes in the variables within it that I feel may lead to a more favorable outcome. That is not to say I will remain silent nor that I will refrain from voicing every single objection and disagreement that comes to my mind :P

It also seems to be that, the 'most negative' people are the ones who disagree with you and your balancing and/or logic.

sais the one who has nonstop refused any and all changes to the game despite the vast majority of players wanting the game to change, and several of them returning only because of these changes? If negative means getting things done then guilty, I am getting things done. And I am trying my best to do that in a fashion that satisfies as many players as possible - note that since the initial draft of the rules, I changed them 12 times so far, 10 of them after player suggestions. But it seems no, you can not be pleased unless Kyle stands above the rules and churns out gamebreaking technology with limitless resources within half an hour, easily outperforming people like winry whose main power is to do stuff like that - without it even being permanent.

Kyle is Winry and Selina combined, with none of the downsides, with some extra powers to boot and a perk that is simply above and beyond all the perks everyone else has.

Quite frankly, it's things like this that the rest of the players wanted to avoid in v3. But you are so self-absorbed that you don't seem to give a damn if 7-8 players want to play the game a different way, all that matters is that you get your candy. Fine. I will not argue. I took it upon myself to help everyone reform the game, but in the end, that also includes that we have a new GM. Who I hope will have an eye on what is happening.






I will now stop responding to anything you say until you finaly stop the hostility.

I expect the same from @Ragnarok when he returns. These matters must be reigned in and controlled.

speaking of lore, the stuff PN posted about the sultanes is not entirely correct.


they do not rule the void seperated into twelve domains, the domains are in fact quite small. They are found on the fringe of creation, creation literaly forms the ground beneath the domains. The domains are in fact quite small, while some encompass an entire ocean, others just encompass a single city - or even just a single building. They are not the rulers of the void, but just forces in it that have taken the most direct interest in creation


btw, question, do we even need he bracelets? I mean, what happened to good old cellphones to stay in contact :P ?

The bracelets are pretty much how the characters can communicate during combat. Pretty much makes it so that they can discuss via a system where you can transfer thoughts really fast and receive them just as fast. Not to mention the servers that can be held on it.

also, holy baby jesus that wall of text for summoning.
would it really be so horrible to just stick to the summoning rules we have? I mean, to summon a shadow equal in stats to the PCs, he has to roll a 9, his mag is 20, so he only has a 55% chance that it will work (and having *that* high in mag should enable him to do some serious magicing), takes a turn of delay before it can act and even than will only stay for a limited amount of time.
I do not find that overpowered at all. The limited duration really is the main balancing factor for strong summons, as they only give a temporary advantage

Reread the rules. I took pains to make sure that you could use those rules. The only difference is that I've put PP cost to it. (That, and I've imposed a maximum duration of half an hour at a time.)

Well, if we're going by either my version of Selina's power or by the "common-sense balancing phase 1" we discussed, Selina can't make magic items at all. So we'd better not need the bracelets.
Especially since advancing magitek probably means better cell phone coverage with better technology. Like, cell phones work indoors, too.

Depends. Do you have dissociative identity disorder? Because you're really the only person to complain about nerfs much. The only other person was Projeck, who was concerned because Tobias's main ability was pretty much ignored (so he was basically trying to substitute his 3D gear for his power).

Which reminds me...I should probably add a restriction on the 3D gear that it can't be used in enclosed spaces. Because it can't, it won't be, and Tobias should get a discount for that.

As biased as agreeing with this is, you have to admit that outside of requests from other characters, Selina never really used her magic to any big affect. (Outside of the bracelets which I regret... atleast the mass production of them, the 2 original ones were a high point I think.)

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE

I will add that negative to her perks.

The shrine's HP is based on the paper, so 20 since it's pretty much steel.

The shrines MP is 20 of Sen's MP that she used in making it. So yeah. It's very costly to use. It acts like a normal magic caster, so it can miss the target or even fail to cast.

And how do you propose I try to balance something like that? The only abilities I can think of that involve creating items are Gizmos and Snatcher; the latter has a bunch of restrictions you all hate, the former has a bunch more that really can't be worked around. If we're going to try and use GURPS to balance things, we have to use GURPS to balance things. Or at least to approximate the things we're balancing.

So anything left before V3?

From what I can tell, GWG is working through GURPSing the PCs' abilities, some people are trying to stockpile lore, and some characters are still being recreated and polished.

by the way, I have been thinking, for high level spells, chances of not passing the TN is rather high. Get just a bit unlucky, and you can spend a long time casting nothing at all.


I propose that after a failed cast, the TN for immediatly trying again reduces by 3. That way, it's basicaly saying "couldn't manage to gather the energy quickly enough, but next turn, can finish the spell".


idea good?

Would the mana also keep around for the one turn going by that logic? Since mana is the energy itself.

Post by: Akroma on June 05, 2014, 05:17:57 pm

well, mana is spent when the spell is succesfully cast, but I guess if you are shooting someone with your mana drain pistol while he is casting, that casting may be fucked

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: kj1225 on June 05, 2014, 05:20:04 pm

I was asking about when you fail getting something like no mana cost for casting again for one turn or just having a reduced mana cost for the second cast.

I have no idea how to balance anything with Gurps. Thats what was originally going to be Selina's magic list. (With a couple adjustments to make it more detrimental to cast anything above a medium)

Also, AMAZING outro Projeck. *HIGH FIVES!*

Oh, it was in a spoiler.

What's that about Ashley killing the real her in Riyadh?
Too many "she's" around the time that one of them got the dress and the silly huge sword.
I'm confused. That's a nice outro for Ashley, but why did everything else need to finish before that?

Spoiler: Alice's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Healing (30 Points) (Alice's ability is more quantized and a bit more limited, but costs less on average. Let's call it the same!)
...
Um...
I got nothing.

Spoiler: Alice Summary (click to show/hide)

The same as she is. Also, she has 70 leftover PP, so...have four more stat points?

Spoiler: Frederika's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Battle Hardened: +1 SKL and DEF (30 points)
Gore Show: +1 STR, SPD (Only when enemies are below 20% Health, -40%[?]) (18 points)
Gas Up: Affliction (-1 RES [+15%], Hearing-Based [+150%], No Roll [?]) (30 points)
Grenade Trap: Innate Attack (Area Effect (2 yds), Fragmentation) (25 points)
Everything Else: Dunno.
Mute (Vulnerable Mitigator reduces it to Disturbing Voice) (-20 points)
Screwed-up social interaction things.

Spoiler: Frederika (click to show/hide)

Aside from being someone I don't know who is?
Everything's basically the same. I'm...really not sure how to handle all of that in a cost-effective and sane way.

Spoiler: Kyle's Stuff (click to show/hide)

Hoo boy.

Gadgeteer (25 Points)
Powered Armor (30 Points)
-+1 HTH, SPD, SKL, STR (60)
-Flight (40)
-Breakable (takes 10 points less damage from all attacks, no penalty to hit, can break down) [-35%], Can be Stolen [-10%], Unique [-25%]
-Also functions as Heavy Armor
Persona: Merlin (66 Points, see below)
Chronic Depression (Mild) (-7 Points)
Lecherousness (-15 Points)

Spoiler: Merlin (click to show/hide)

It seems like it would be simple to have the abilities Merlin grants all being Alternate Abilities. While Merlin's boosting someone's Agility and such, he can't attack. Simple, right?
Sukukaja: +2 SPD, +1 SKL of a target (can be used on multiple people at once) (15*0.2=3)
Twin Shot: Normal Attack (15*0.2=3)
Garula: Attack (4-yard area), Mana Cost (29*0.2=6)
Magarula: Attack (2-yard area, RoF 7), Mana Cost (32*0.2=7)
Diarama, Media: Healing (Cheaper, +50%) (45)
Tentarafoo: Affliction (x3 Duration rather than Rolling) (10*0.2=2)

Spoiler: Kyle Summary (click to show/hide)

Pretty much like he is, except that Merlin can only do one thing at once, and Kyle lacks the half-physical-damage perk.

Spoiler: Dalia (click to show/hide)

Lucky By Comparison: About the same as having an extra Defense of level 9 that always works and drains a mana. Let's call it...81 points. Yikes.
Affliction (Stat Reduction)(Max -10, costs up to 10 mana, modular) (25?)
That wasn't as bad as I had feared! Now to try not to get overly-concerned about this fact!
Phantom Voices (Annoying) (-5)
Dull (-1)

Spoiler: Dalia Summary (click to show/hide)

Another girl I don't know!

Aside from what was written? The critter on her back sometimes talks to her and she's not good at coming up with solutions to problems (unless you want to characterize her enough that I can give her a better quirk?).

Alright. That's everyone with character sheets except ICARUS and most of Nomad's characters.

I'm... Still thinking up Dalia's character, honestly. I'd probably make her a cloudcuckoolander (which is a word recognized by Google Chrome) of some sorts, but I kinda want to go with an overconfident tomboy as well. Most likely with different stats/perks too. Gah, give me time to sort everything out I guess.

During the time skip all undead started campaigning for equal representation in the media, including wraiths, ghosts, poltergeists, and various ghouls. But all sides agree that zombies are pretty much represented in every possible way that they are pretty much represented correctly no matter how the individual zombie actually is. Which is why many are campaigning for less zombie-centric media.

"Blindly accepting"? What, exactly, are they being blind to? The risk of a magical person gaining magical powers one way or another and trying to use it? I can see why places would want to set up antimagic fields.

Angel
Health 8

Skill 26
Strength 7
Defense 15
Magic 9
Resistance 12

Nuriel
Health 10
Mana 10
Speed 17
Skill 8
Strength 20
Defense 12
Magic 16
Resistance 7

Spoiler: Angel/Nuriel Stuff (click to show/hide)

Alternate Form (15+x)
"DR 20" (Fire Only, Tough Skin) (20)

Angel Only:
Innate Attack (Fire) (1-yd Cone, 50-yd Range, Selective) (21)
Distractible (-1)
Pitiable (5)
Talent (Academic) 2 (30)
Talent (Swordsmanship) 1 (10)

Nuriel Only:
Berserk (Normal) (-10)
Flight (Winged) (30)
Innate Attack (Fire) (2-yd Area, 2-yd Cone, Persistent w/3x Duration, 200-yd Range, Selectivity) (45)

Spoiler: Angel/Nuriel Summary (click to show/hide)

Angel and Nuriel take 10 less damage from fire. They both have the ability to create blasts of fire, Angel being limited to either small bursts or 50-yard-long blasts, while Nuriel is more flexible (and can create fires that remain for up to 30 seconds). Nuriel can fly, Angel's learned how to use swords, and look here's something new! Whenever Nuriel or one of her loved ones suffer damage equal to or greater than 25% of their hit points, there's a 25% chance that Nuriel goes berserk, which leads to her not being able to fall unconscious from her wounds until dead...at the cost of needing to make a melee attack if there are enemies within 20 yards, or a ranged attack at essentially maximum power if there aren't. Each time a foe gets defeated, she can roll again, with a 75% chance to snap out of it--two, if it's the last foe. (For this purpose, friends who try to restrain her count as foes.) If she doesn't snap out of it, she'll start attacking anyone else nearby until she can snap out of it.

Spoiler: Angel/Nuriel Timeskip (click to show/hide)

That plot with Nuriel kidnapping Will and whatnot, followed by Angel and Nuriel separating? Gone.
Angel has skipped two more grades and is now in high school. She's in the fencing club, as well as various academic organizations. She's been accepting of newer regulations on magic for the most part, and doesn't know what she wants to do when she grows up. Maybe she'll learn teaching and found a school for magic or something. At the moment, she enjoys spending time with her old friends and some new ones online. She doesn't mind the fame, but she doesn't particularly like it.
Nuriel is enjoying life a bit more. She's allowed several hours each night to spend at various nightclubs or whatever, as long as she doesn't get in trouble. She, unlike Angel, absolutely loves her fame. It has its downsides, but she's enjoying the upsides and typically punches most of the downsides. She's managed to stay mostly within the law, though.
Angel's mother has grudgingly accepted that her daughter is magical. She still doesn't like Nuriel much, though.

Anything else I should add?
Also, does Stella have a timeskip entry somewhere?

Statting out the character needs to wait, but I've always felt that the numbers were the least important part. Make a good character, and the numbers should flow from that--and a character whose numbers are based on the character is better than a character based on the numbers.
So. What did you have in mind for your character?

Akroma said she had a good backstory for HILDA, so I let her. And it was a good one.

Actually Laura, void is a person. And a place.
It's complicated.

Post by: kj1225 on June 05, 2014, 11:29:20 pm

I'd say after Ashley there shouldn't have been more characters associated with the void if we could help it. I mean, what did Hilda being part void have to do with anything? She could just have easily had some other origin and it wouldn't have changed much.

Title: Re: Rise of the Magic Girls v2 OOC: MOAR LAMPSHADES PLEASE
Post by: PrivateNomad on June 05, 2014, 11:34:26 pm

Even HILDA being void doesn't change much at all--her magic is still the same, only affected by anti-void instead of anti-magic. The only thing that changes is her backstory, which ties into Akroma's lore really well--and also gives a good hook for future plots.

Spoiler: Angel/Nuriel Summary (click to show/hide)

Angel and Nuriel take 10 less damage from fire. They both have the ability to create blasts of fire, Angel being limited to either small bursts or 50-yard-long blasts, while Nuriel is more flexible (and can create fires that remain for up to 30 seconds). Nuriel can fly, Angel's learned how to use swords, and look here's something new! Whenever Nuriel or one of her loved ones suffer damage equal to or greater than 25% of their hit points, there's a 25% chance that Nuriel goes berserk, which leads to her not being able to fall unconscious from her wounds until dead...at the cost of needing to make a melee attack if there are enemies within 20 yards, or a ranged attack at essentially maximum power if there aren't. Each time a foe gets defeated, she can roll again, with a 75% chance to snap out of it--two, if it's the last foe. (For this purpose, friends who try to restrain her count as foes.) If she doesn't snap out of it, she'll start attacking anyone else nearby until she can snap out of it.

Spoiler: Angel/Nuriel Timeskip (click to show/hide)

That plot with Nuriel kidnapping Will and whatnot, followed by Angel and Nuriel separating? Gone.
Angel has skipped two more grades and is now in high school. She's in the fencing club, as well as various academic organizations. She's been accepting of newer regulations on magic for the most part, and doesn't know what she wants to do when she grows up. Maybe she'll learn teaching and found a school for magic or something. At the moment, she enjoys spending time with her old friends and some new ones online. She doesn't mind the fame, but she doesn't particularly like it.
Nuriel is enjoying life a bit more. She's allowed several hours each night to spend at various nightclubs or whatever, as long as she doesn't get in trouble. She, unlike Angel, absolutely loves her fame. It has its downsides, but she's enjoying the upsides and typically punches most of the downsides. She's managed to stay mostly within the law, though.
Angel's mother has grudgingly accepted that her daughter is magical. She still doesn't like Nuriel much, though.

Anything else I should add?
Also, does Stella have a timeskip entry somewhere?

needs actual example acts for theri abilities, minor, medium etc

Spoiler: Absorptive Damage Resistance (click to show/hide)

The ability to heal or otherwise be enhanced by attacks is a pretty common trope. In GURPS, this can be handled by the Absorption enhancement to DR. Unfortunately, at times this can get...out of hand.

To start, remember the rules on HP/damage conversion. DR values are halved when transferred from GURPS to the Unnamed System. (The maximum "battery" size is also halved, because it's filled by Unnamed System damage.)
Secondly, Absorption gives a "battery" full of PP. This can be spent on anything PP can be spent on, in principle. However, the costs will not be the same as in GURPS!
Thirdly, the battery drains at a rate of one per turn.

Let's say you want to heal when you get hurt. Remember that Unnamed System hit points are not the same as GURPS hit points! Since Health is 15 PP a pop and each point gives 3 HP, it costs 5 battery points to heal a hit point. For instance, if John paid for DR 10 (Absorptive), if he got hit with a 7-damage attack, hit DR would negate five of it and fill his battery, letting him heal a single hit point. Simple enough.
Now, let's say you want to power special abilities with this. You need to specify what trait(s) can get improved; generally, stick to the one-trait version (more on that later). Pay the required PP for them. Remember that your battery is still dropping--you'll lose abilities if you run out of battery!

Finally, what if you want to power your abilities like this? Simple. You can convert your battery to mana! Same five-point-a-point conversion rate as for HP. If you want your abilities to only be powered by your battery, add a disadvantage, called something like Amanic or Cannot Regenerate Mana. Based on the Unhealing disadvantage, and assuming that not being able to be repaired balances out the lesser value of MP, it would be worth -30 points. Once you have the absorption and Amanic, simply buy the ability(ies) that you want as normal. This is the recommended method of using Absorption to fuel your powers.

I propose something that scales with the size category of the act, as that also dictates the TN to be able to do that instantly (so if the TN is not met on the first round, it would mean the body just needs a while to adapt fully), and the mana costs.


so a small adaptation to a gunshot might be a bit of additional damage reduction, but limited to damage only frum bullets, healing at a very low conversion rate etc, basicaly only a minor change.


the bigger the act that the adaptation is, the more PP you gathered could be used at once. That means that obtaining a perk that would be a major adaptation to the threat would not be possible at minor acts, likewise the amount of health regained from a single heal would be a lot higher.


the amount of pp spent depending on the act needs a sensible cap, considering that the perks last for the whole duration of the battle. Mana should be the limiting factor as to how often it can be used, and mag the extend of what it is capable of.

The "adaptation" is a completely separate ability. I'm not entirely certain what rag's doing for that, but I suspect that it involves a generous interpretation of the "any trait" part of the advanced Absorptive Damage Resistance.

Spoiler: Power Tiers (click to show/hide)

Power tiers are a simple enough idea, in theory. They are explained at length in GURPS: Powers (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aj75v450zb6wxz2/AAAKZG2awiK1yEfujVktxYrTa/Powers/GURPS%20-%204th%20Edition%20-%20Powers.pdf), but a summarized version can be found here.

Basically, powers from higher tiers cannot be affected by powers from lower tiers. For instance, divine invisibility cannot be broken by Mortal invisibility-sensing glasses, Greater fireballs blast through defenses offered by Superior spells, and Cosmic teleportation ignores Exceptional dimensional locks. There are exceptions; minions summoned with Greater powers are still subject to damage from Mortal spells, for instance. To figure out how two powers interact, determine which is the "sword" and which is the "shield"; that is, which effect is trying to stop the other effect. If the "sword" has a higher tier than the "shield," the "shield" is ignored.
Mundane effects are largely outside this tier system. All mundane defenses protect against all effects which they apply to. Even a god's fire can be put out by water (unless it's self-oxygenating like white phosphorous), a god's invisibility can be stopped by heat-vision goggles (unless the god's invisibility specifically lets IR light through), and a bacteria shielded by a demon lord can still be bested by antibiotics (unless immune). The exception is Cosmic abilities.

The tiers are:
Tier 0 (Cosmic)--Reserved mostly for Overgods and the like (or simulating an ability that significantly exceeds its normal limitations), Tier 0 powers are capable of ignoring basically any defense except another such power. Unlike other tiers, this includes mundane defenses--a Cosmic attack ignores mundane armor (including any defense bonus it would have given), a Cosmic healing spell can cure incurable diseases, and a Cosmic mind-reader can read the minds of those behind lead sheets. (Base: +50%)
Tier 1 (Divine)--Only the gods themselves can possess abilities of this tier, and only the big ones; the Flying Spaghetti Monster is out, although Jehovah, Thor, and Aphrodite might. Divine abilities overcome all barriers save those set up by gods and those imposed by the natural world. (Base: +40%)
Tier 2 (Greater)--Very, very little can have an ability in this tier. Gods, lesser and greater, make up the majority, but powerful angels, demons, spirits and the like may qualify, as would greater gods when slightly out of their domains. (Base: +30%)
Tier 3 (Exceptional)--Exceptional abilities are essentially unheard of among mortal beings; only truly magical beings can possess abilities like these. Examples include mighty spirits and such. (Base: +20%)
Tier 4 (Superior)--Very rare among mortals, but not unheard-of for those with exceptional training or gifts. Archmages and high priests might have this ability, as might less human beings more in tune with magic. Superior effects can overcome Mortal defenses (though not Mundane ones). (Base: +10%)
Tier 5 (Mortal)--The default. Most powers will fall into this category. (Base: +0%)
Tierless (Mundane)--Abilities derived wholly from natural laws, rather than paranatural ones. The distinction between this and Mortal abilities can be hard to determine, but in general asking if it can be negated by an antimagic field or similar effect determines this. (Base: +0%)
The "Base" value is the value of the Enhancement required to buy an ability of the tier, usually. Double this if it's an attack with a lingering effect that can't be stopped except by a higher-tier ability (or Mundane ones), such as a disease incurable by lesser mages or a fire which can't be stopped with cold magic; hextuple it if it's an attack that weaker defenses (armor, DR, flat-out immunities) have no effect on.

Usually, PCs cannot take anything but Mortal or Mundane abilities without GM consent (or very good reason).
