Anyone else do this shit?
>>
>>93923138
Absolutely, its the eternal cycle of build making. One to put effort and personality into, and the other to indulge in creating the strongest combination that interests me. Sure you can always do both but making someone strong just to be strong is always fun.
>>
>>93923138
DESU I always try to stick to a theme because I find being really good whatever it is cool. If that means taking some disliked options then I just stash it away.

Rolled 3 (1d4)

1. Finally make that chart.
2. Nothing.

4. Anons decide.

But for what purpose?
>>
>>93923266
Because I have an idea and I will have a different one for the next KTH run.
>>
>>93923266
Shipping it with someone else's build, as I have always done of course.
>>
>>93923303
Rat behavior.
>>
>>93923303
Why would another build want a ship with an npc? They could make their own noc for that.
>>
>>93923303
Don't pretend to be me.
>>
>>93923138
I have, but I've stopped. I find posting super OP builds just riles up anons, detracts from the MP, and sometimes even contributes to its death. Thus wasting my cool, effortfull character.

Question
>Take Mundane Mind for Inherited Wisdom (Can't use techniques but normal attacks are like techniques and can just cultivate)
>Take Exotic Spirit Root for all Elements
>Can now just act as a Wizard, with spells from every element
Am I misunderstanding something here?
>>
>>93923417
That would work but your spells would be as simple as "fireball" and "fireshield". They would also be limited in scope, as they're roughly the same every time. You can't go "ALL OUT SUPER MEGADEATH FIREBALL" or "itty bitty efficient fireball rain". You just have "fireball". Unless you make one of those your special inherited wisdom ability.
>>
>>93923417
Yes, you're missing that as a "wizard" you wouldn't have spells. You'd be able to brute force things like maybe throwing a fireball. But it would be exactly that, throwing a ball of fire. You couldn't do cool shit like make it curve, or adjust its size, and potency. You'd be unable to make it into a Dragon. You'd have elemental aligned mana and not an awful lot to do with it.

That's not to say that's a bad build, I think there is potential for a character there but you wouldn't be a Wizard in the same way that a Qi cultivator is. You be a versatile brute.
>>
>>93923448
>You couldn't do cool shit like make it curve, or adjust its size, and potency. You'd be unable to make it into a Dragon.
Not so sure about that. Attacks can take any form, and they could definitely curve. He could probably adjust size. The only thing I agree on is potency.
>>
>>93923487
How would he control it? That's the point of the spells to control Qi or Soul or whatever. Without understanding magical principles he just has mana. There is a reason it saids its the greatest impediment to a cultivator.
>>
>>93923542
Fuck you mean how would he control it? How would he move his hands? How would he move his legs? It's the equivalent to an attack. Mechanically and flavor wise it's irrelevent what it looks like. An ability of attacks is that they could curve or be different sizes. His strength is on par with attacks, so if he could use his qi at all he could do that. The only thing is that he couldn't do any comprehension related thing. So they wouldn't move on their own but he manually could move them.
>>
>>93923567
Manually move them? So what he throws a fireball then runs along side and pushes it to change direction? I guess sure.
I don't see the point of it but okay.
>>
>>93923581
Do you think he doesn't have any connection to the fireball when he moves it? He could probably just aim it by moving his arms around.
>>
>>93923591
Why would he? He's got no Comprehension of how Techniques wprk (which is what waving your hand around to control the flow of fire).

You're basically making a Toji Zenin build with Inherented Wisdom.

One of the most recent teachers to arrive at the Library of the Great Wilds, Zào Zhēn is perhaps also one of its more unusual ones. Born as the heir to the wealthy (but mortal) Zào merchant family, cultivation was never in the cards for her. Zào Zhēn was never one to be a quitter, however. While she never was going to be able to cultivate, the mysteries of alchemy could be unearthed with intellect alone. After her parents spent exuberant amounts of money at any alchemist willing to tutor their daughter, she began her furious study to plumb the deepest of alchemical secrets, eventually reaching mastery only ever seen in cultivators. She would soon start wandering the world employing her skills to help mortals in need or to punish those who would do them harm, making quite a name for herself as a hero. Eventually, such news would reach the elders of the Library of the Great Wilds, who wished to hire her as a teacher. Zào saw this as an opportunity, so many of the people she helped were victims of cultivators who saw mortals as subhuman or were being exploited by the current order, if she could instill her ideals into the current generation of disciples, she could indirectly reshape the world, ensuring that mortals would be just as valued in society as cultivators, not just special cases like herself.

Do you not know what comprehension is? I just told you that comprehension is it moving AUTOMATICALLY. Comprehension relates to how the technique does things on its own. What's effectively telekinesis is unrelated to comprehension and already an ability granted by soul cultivation alone.
>>
>>93923591
What do you think the Drawbacks is. It's removes your ability to comprehend magical energy
>>
>>93923581
Have you never watched a game of baseball?
>>
>>93923417
Lets add to this, since >>93923801 posted and I got ideas.
Wouldn't a triple cripple still be able to cast things normally by SIMPLY being a Saint/Devil and using techniques based on their karma?
>>
>>93923858
Nope, your Saint/Devil tier is equivalent to your highest tier. So it would be 0.
>>
>>93923858
Theoretically yes, but we don't know what True Saint/True Devil actually do.
>>
>>93923851
No, it removes your ability to comprehend the mysteries of the arcane and understand magical principles. There is a difference. Just by having Grade 1 Soul Refining you have fucking clairvoyance, and mundane mind wouldn't affect this at all. Not all mundane mind merchants are meatheads.

>>93923801
Which 3 professions benefit from Mortal savant?

>bringing gunpowder
You've crossed a line. Everyone knows the Mortal Empires have a monopoly on gunpowder. You're arrogance will bring untold millions of Mortal soldiers down upon us all!
>>
>>93923886
Anon noone is going to stop you from taking Drawbacks and then ignoring them. But don't be surprised when you're shifty character is ignored by others.
>>
>>93923801
>Profession (Teacher)
Is this just supposed to be better Excellent Teacher
>>
>>93923858
Doesn't devil/Saint have your cultivation as equal to the highest you have. Which in this case would be 0. That's what stopped me from trying a similiar build, you would be a Mortal with the potential to become a saint/devil.
>>
>>93923944
Are you daft, you ESL nincompoop? Other than not being the anon who wants to take it, I have explained what the drawback ACTUALLY does. It's already shit, you need to stop making drawbacks worse and let others be creative.

>>93923963
You've explained how you want it to work, there is a difference.
>Complete in ability to understand magical principles

Then we go down to
>inborn techniques lack finesse
>they become passive functions of your body
Sorry anon, Heavenly restrictions do be like that.
>>
>>93923939
Teaching, Alchemy and Gunsmithing. In our first run the author stated that for the purpose of mortal savant that if you have 2 professions of the same type then they both get upgraded. As cooking? is just alchemy (poison) with a funny name it does still get upgraded as well.
>>
>>93923946
Basically.
>>
>>93924007
This isn't your shitty fucking slop series.
>inborn techniques lack finesse
Yes, comprehension related finesse.
>they become passive functions of your body
Can you NOT aim a punch?
I remind you that telekinesis is a thing cultivators have built in at Grade 2 and ALL cultivators get FLIGHT upon hitting Grade 4 in literally anything. You're a stupid motherfucker.
>>
>>93924011
>In our first run the author stated that for the purpose of mortal savant that if you have 2 professions of the same type then they both get upgraded
I'm gonna need a source for that chief.

nta but
>I will mention that you could just have 2 professions of the same type. In terms of knowledge, there would probably be a lot of wasted overlap, but you could still get some benefits by giving each a specialization. Like one is really good at quality and the other is really good at quantity. Or a more specific example could be an alchemy technique focused on making really good medicine and then another one focused on making really good explosives.

Why would any of that prevent someone from curving a fireball other than your retarded reference and archetype obsession

>>93923946
You're just really good at teaching algebra and shit.

Yes, I actually know that source. That is directly at odds with

and seems to say the exact opposite.
>>
>>93924096
The context is that someone has grabbed 4 professions which DOES imply that. Personally I think it's fucking dumb but what can you do.

What the fuck. That is fucking dumb.
>>
>>93924081
>Why would any of that prevent someone from curving a fireball
Maybe because in order to do so you would need to use magic, which you categorically do not understand how to use?
>>
>>93924039
>all cultivators
Yes, those that understand magic which you do not if you take that drawback.

You can't understand magical principles
There's a difference
>>
>>93924011
>>93924073
Author should update the cyoa if you can take 2 professions with Mortal savant.
>>
>>93924164
Where does it say you need to understand magical princicples to fly, use telekinesis, or weave qi like in >>93924176?
>>
>>93924176

You sir are a buffoon
>>
>>93924124
>>93924133
The way that reads to me is
>You have 3 upgraded professions
>You could get upgraded Alchemy, Smithing, and Taming, sure
>Or you could get upgraded Alchemy (Poisoning), Alchemy (Medicine), and Smithing
>AKA as the author said... there would probably be a lot of wasted overlap, but you could still get some benefits by giving each a specialization. Like one is really good at quality and the other is really good at quantity. Or a more specific example could be an alchemy technique focused on making really good medicine and then another one focused on making really good explosives.
I don't see how this implies it "upgrades both", or how it allows you to have 4 upgraded professions.

So no >>93924011 you're gonna have to choose one Profession to dump I think.

>>93924164
>Yes, those that understand magic
This isn't stated anywhere.

>>93924149
>which you categorically do not understand how to use?
You don't UNDERSTAND.
You still instinctually do it.
The only negative here is that you can't have use a technique that has a fireball that guides itself, but you can still guide your own fireball manually. Otherwise you wouldn't even be able to use a fireball.
>>
>>93924186
They aren't, you can have spell abiliies from Inherited Wisdom and they are not techniques
>>
>>93924191
>Otherwise you wouldn't even be able to use a fireball
Unless its your special Skill absolutely correct. You lose access to anything that isn't an innate part of your body. It turns all your energy into passive enhancements. It's very clear about this.
>>
>>93924198
You can have A, singular, yes. Which is the exception to the norm. Otherwise you are restricted.

If you want spells don't take the drawback what is hard about this
>>
>>93924191
I want to agree with this but
>I don't see how this implies it "upgrades both", or how it allows you to have 4 upgraded professions.
The line of reasoning here is
>>>If you have four professions, you get three really good ones and then one Grade 0 one.
>>Yeah sure, but if you're going with a triple cripple, why would you grab 4 professions?
>I will mention that you could just have 2 professions of the same type
It seems to be that "why would you have 4 professions as a Mortal Savant" is answered by "two of those professions could be the same type"
>>
>>93924216
Anon, this whole discussion started from >>93923417
Being able to do things with your Exotic Spirit Root is not a technique.
>>
>>93924229
Where does it say that you can no longer weave qi if you can't understand magical principles?
>>
>>93924232
That anon is misunderstanding. You don't get to be the avatar and toji.
>>
>>93924216
>You lose access to anything that isn't an innate part of your body. It turns all your energy into passive enhancements. It's very clear about this.
Where does it say this?
>>
>>93924191
He is explicitly talking about it in the context of >why would you grab 4 professions? I'm not sure what other interpretation you could have other than if two of your professions have significant overlap mortal savant applies to both. If it didn't work that why would he have responded to that question with anything other than "no your fourth one is useless"?
>>
>>93924230
Uhh
I'm still against this because I think the author just messed up his reply? It seems a bit disjointed.
But I guess its arguable and having a 4th upgraded technique and isn't that big of a deal, so >>93924011 I guess you're allowed back in.
>>
>>93924247
Anon how do you learn how to weave Qi? The answer is techniques. Techniques that they cannot learn. They instead get passive enhancements. They instead get a special Skill that happens innately.

I'm the anon you're replying to and I agree. I'm tempted to say "death of the author" and discount it entirely because it's fucking stupid but it tracks.
>>
Maybe you can outline what limitations you believe that Inherited Wisdom puts on you? Like, what does not being able to perform techniques look like to this character? Because you're getting really close to just arguing you can do anything and not have to pay points for it with Inherited Wisdom.
>>
>>93924299
>Inherited Wisdom
>Your strength, defense, and speed are on par with attack, barrier, and footwork techniques
>Your cultivation realm raises without need of techniques
This is the ENTIRE POINT of this argument
>>
>>93924299
ohnononono readlet bros did we get too cocky?
>>
>>93924285
Your power goes up over time, but you are forever capped. Unable to use spells, you get your one special ability. If you want more, don't take the drawback
>>
>>93924307
Here you go.
>>93923445
>>93923487
You can shoot your elemental qi in any form and then control it after casting but they will always be on par with attack techniques. They will never be similar to ambush, barrage, or trump cards.
>>
>>93924307
That's exactly what anon wants. It's why he should just do it so we can get back to ignoring him.
>>
>>93924324
No, your cultivation realm raises. This is explicit.
This allows you to do spells.
>>
>>93924331
Disagree. But also don't care. I have an actual inherented wisdom build I want to post which I feel will he forever tainted by this argument.
>>
>>93924332
I wouldn't ignore anon because he would be right and cyoa accurate.
>>
>>93924340
>Disagree
Why?
>I have an actual inherented wisdom build I want to post which I feel will he forever tainted by this argument.
Why?
>>
>>93924307
Mundane Mind prevents me from picking any techniques. That means the ones listed in >>93921706 are inaccessible.
That much is understood.
Inherited Wisdom, the perk that accompanies Mundane Mind, allows my normal moves to become strong enough to match techniques.
From there, there are a few exploits that come up:
I can still use my Spirit Root, listed in Qi Gathering in this page: >>93921642
Since I can manipulate Fire Qi (Assuming I have a Fire Spirit Root), I can just manipulate it into a attack. This allows me to manipulate Fire Qi into a attack that is just as strong as a fireball technique, just like how someone with Inherited Wisdom can punch and have it be strong as a punch technique.

That's it.
Your verdict?
>>
>>93924358
Because he's a stupid JJKfag and thinks "OMG JUST LIKE TOJI" and refuses to see any other point of view
>>
>>93924332
>It's why he should just do it so we can get back to ignoring him.
I would like to remind you that the first two replies to the question were people agreeing that it would work.
>>
>>93924370
Makes sense, I would err on the side of my attacks being on the clumsy side, like you could shoot a ball of fire as strong as a technique would - But it would pretty much go in a straight line and couldn't really do anything fancy with it.

I could see humorously enough, putting a baseball like spin on the attack as you throw it to get a curve (and if you have some special Mind Sea bullshit, you probably have heightened senses to get decently precise with it).
>>
>>93924408
>I would err on the side of my attacks being on the clumsy side, like you could shoot a ball of fire as strong as a technique would - But it would pretty much go in a straight line and couldn't really do anything fancy with it.
Why?
>>
>>93924370
>>93924380
If that's the case; what role does the unique ability play on a meta level? To which I mean, if normal spells/telekinesis and such are available why would the author include the option to choose something extra?

I'm trying to understand the POVs at play here.
>>
>>93924430
You can't do fancy punch attacks, so why would you be able to do fancy fire attacks?
>>
>>93924439
>You can't do fancy punch attacks
I can curve my punches. What's a fancy punch attack?
>>
>>93924430
Because they lack finesse?
>>
>>93924448
>Because they lack finesse
So a Mundane Mind archer couldn't hit a bullseye?
>>
>>93924448
Pretty sure that refers to comprehension.
>>
>>93924446
I guess you could curve it.
But basically if it starts looking like a technique, its certainly out.

>What's looking like a technique
At this point I can't answer you any further, I just trust you to not abuse this grey line.
>>
>>93924378
it does sound to me like becomes a might guy or toji type
>>
>>93924466
Maybe, idk. I'm not the author. That's just what it says.
>>
>>93924437
You're making the mistake of thinking that techniques are supposed to be the bulk of what someone does. They aren't: they're the special moves. The majority of fighting would use fighting style and "basic moves", not just the technique being spammed over and over again.
>>
Quick reminder that you need a degree in theoretical physics to throw a changeup.
>>
>>93924480
Actually, mortal grade comprehension says it lacks finesse. Unless you're arguing that you need immortal grade comprehension to curve a fireball, it seems that finesse correlates with the comprehension abilities.
>>
>>93924430
Entirely a personal choice because I'd feel like a dick pulling off the cuff stuff that feels like Techniques for 0 cost when other anons paid anywhere between 30-70 points to do limited scoped abilities (not counting the cost of buying more than the freebie Techniques or having to upgrade them).
>>
>>93921635
Is Inherited Wisdom a trap option?
>>
>>93924514
no, but yer mum is
>>
>>93924469
>But basically if it starts looking like a technique
They're specifically on par with techniques
Mundane Mind isn't "ooga booga me smash me no know techniques"
It's "all problems are nails and I'm a very big hammer"
>>93924514
Yes, you get violated by Trump Cards and Ambush techniques. It curbstomps shitters who don't pack tricks tho.
>>
>>93924482
I'm trying to reconcile the drawback of not understanding magic with being able to use magic in anything but the most simple ways. I guess I don't understand the points anons are discussing but I don't really need to
>>
>>93924520
>They're specifically on par with techniques
Only by pure strength. I think that the perk text makes that very clear.
Techniques are that, techniques. They're special moves that have some weird stuff behind them, like "To learn this technique you need to train to hit specific places and once you learn that you can use a barrage technique that destabilizes the opponent's Meridians in battle". Mundane Mind no do that. Mundane Mind hit opponent hard.
>>
>>93924501
I was referring to the special perk specifically not the comprehension page.
>>
>>93924511
That's fair. I just wouldn't say anything to an anon who was.
Personally my cutoff is if it feels like techniques that aren't attack, barrier, or footwork.
Like if someone shot fire ki into the sky and used that to pull off a lightning ki trump card I would call bullshit.
>>
>>93924514
I think it's viable, I just also think anon(s) want it to do more than it does.
>>
>>93924541
>you can use a barrage technique that destabilizes the opponent's Meridians in battle
No, barrage techniques don't and can't do that. That would be an ambush technique.
>>
Btw from the author QnA:
>Soul Scenery/Spirit
>Seems like a great option to have even if you aren't a soul cultivator. What's the difference from the scenery and the spirit beyond bigger number?
>Intelligence of the techniques, basically. A fireball with Soul Scenery could adjust it's tragectory to follow the target, but Soul Spirit means it could try to head a target off or dodge around their attacks, or even choose to tank a blow and 'die' even though that wasn't the point of the technique- just because that blow was headed for its user.

>Get Mundane Mind
>Lose ability to use techniques
>Get Inherited Wisdom
>Gain ability to make very powerful moves instead
>Get Spirit Root
>Powerful moves now includes manipulating Fire Qi
>Buy Soul Scenery/Spirit
>Fire now have Soul Spirit and will guide itself to stop the enemy's attacks
>Get techniques back
>>
>>93924539
>not understanding magic
You either interpret it as you do understand very little magic, or you don't at all. Just because a caveman doesn't know why his ass itches doesn't mean his ass won't itch. It's literally instinctual knowledge.
>>
>>93924520
On par with, not the same as.
To me, it works like this:
> They allow one to punch with the force that others would need "Earth shattering destructo fist" and to move as far as "Shallow in Flight" Footwork. They can tank blows as if hiding behind "six natured barrier".
Then as a little extra, because their grand granpappy was an expert at the Gold Dragon king body art, you can also breath fire or grow wings, or smell treasure. Whatever your inherentence links to.
>>
>>93924543
Both use the finesse terminology, which is what your argument was based on why a fireball couldn't curve.
>>
>>93924562
What the fuck those are just the comprehension abilities
>>
>>93924586
It is.
Maybe he confused Soul Scenery and Comprehension somehow?
>>
>>93924573
Argument seems like a strong term to use given I was offering a possible explanation to anons thoughts.
>>
Would it make sense for a Martial Empire, with Ancient Sect and Steep Decline, to have once been a powerful Orthodoxy Sect that over the centuries that just devolved into a petty mortal kingdom because no one could properly use their techniques and they fell out of fashion?
>>
>>93924594
An argument just means "systematic reason", it doesn't contain any debative or aggressive connotation.
>>
>>93924541
Still, probably not worth it compared to Tao Comprehension. Useful if you want to skimp on points maybe.
>>
>>93924594
>>93924573
To clarify, lacking finesse to me, relates to delicacy and skill in controlling the output. Ie: shooting a fireball would lack the skill to determine its aspects or control beyond its creation.
>>
>>93924615
My counterargument to that is that the mortal grade comprehension text also says you lack finesse and I believe someone with a fireball technique and mortal grade comprehension could then curve a fireball manually.
>>
>>93924604
>ancient and powerful orthodox Sect
>Sect leader consolidates all power and makes the position hereditary
>over the years it stops being about Taoism and Righteousness and only about the Ruling "Imperial" Family
Based
>>
>>93924626
>mortal grade comprehension
I guess I read more comprehension to be like a 1 or even like a 0.1. Whereas with the drawback your comprehension is locked in as 0. A fundamental absence of comprehension vs a mortals mere struggle to comprehend.
>>
>>93924562
Proves that without Ambush or Trump Cards to push down Inherited Wisdom USURPERS from crushing the meta you're a shitter
>>
How do you do a Mundane Mind build WITHOUT Inherited Wisdom, though? Feels like 20 points is not enough to carry having no techniques at all.
>>
>Make a mortal with Exotic Spirit Root + Soul Spirits
>Take Spirit Herb and max out the realms.
>Take Inherited Wisdom

Now play a schizophrenic who spent all day eating mushrooms and accidentally became a wizard with no idea how he's fucking up reality while the voices in his soul tweak him out.
>>
>>93924682
Unironically forget it
I don't get why drawbacks give you a choice to take points instead of a perk, the game becomes unwinnable if you don't take the corresponding perk
Or at very least, you took a vastly worse trade.
>>
>>93924694
The trade should be like 100 minimum so you can get a headstart on your treasure spam lmfao

>>93924692
I bet the pill that schizo would make would fuck you up fr fr
>>
>>93924682
You take Fallen Immortal.
Fated Encounters override Drawbacks, see Crippled Talent.
You now have 20 points and no drawback.
Of course, a Fallen Immortal + Inherited Wisdom build is still much better.
>>
>>93924692
>someone leaked my build
You bastard this has been days in the making
>>
>>93924721
>Fated Encounters override Drawbacks, see Crippled Talent.
I think that only applies to Crippled Talent since it's specified.
>You now have 20 points and no drawback.
Pretty sure you have 20 points and no Fated Encounter...
>>
>>93924482
Is this correct? I thought most of the attacks you make in battle would be techniques, which is why the CYOA showers you with at very least 5 techniques.
>>
>>93924682
You don't. At least you don't make a regular cultivator. I guess you could someone who improves only through elixirs and treasures, which was an idea an anon raised previously
>>
>>93924757
Not sure honestly. It makes a sort of sense, but also feels like it diminishes techniques.
>>
>>93924757
>If you just punch out without even using a technique, other people on your level can reliable no-sell that punch with just an endurance technique.
Only if your opponent has no endurance techniques.
>>
>>93924756
>Grants no benefits or drawbacks if taken with a Fated Encounter that overwrites the selected talent
Check the phrasing. The Fated Encounters overwrite talents, and if you take one that affects your crippled talent, you don't get the benefits. It overwrites.
Fallen Immortal grants Tao Grade comprehension in the exact same way the other fated encounters grant Tao Grade whatever. Same exact phrasing.
Ergo, Fallen Immortal overrides your Grade 0 comprehension with Tao Grade. RAW, it checks out.

Of course, anybody trying to push this shit in multiplayer would deserve a beating.

>>93924874

>>
>>93924916
In what context? I think the cyoa leads to characters sort of being the creme dela creme of thier age group. So they should have a good chance to defeat peers. And awful chances to defeat superiors.
>>
>>93924950
I was thinking like,
>Chance to defeat someone in the same Cultivation Realm (Assuming average is 50%)
>Chance to defeat someone in a Cultivation Realm above (Assuming average is 0.1%)
But fair point about us being the cream of the crop.
>>
>>93924916
What should I use for an adversary of equal rank? Just some guy?
>>
>>93924910
it is not about the titty itself, but to whom the titty belongs.
for instance, misato katsuragi is not especially phenomenally endowed, however, sometimes I really just need an alcoholic woman in her 30s to pet my head and rest her boobs on my head and tell me everything is going to be okay
>>
>>93924980
A guy in the exact same cultivation realm, so if they're 4, he's 4 (Although if they player is like 4.1 from using a cultivation pill but not progressing due to the "level cap", the opponent is still 4).
He has a coherent build (EX: Maybe he's focused on using his Trump Card so he has a Support that makes him stronger, Endurance to help him get it off, Barrage in order to distract you, and whatever else you deem necessary), and some gifts, like a artifact that fits his fighting style and a noble bloodline. So someone who's actually above average compared to others.

That's roughly what I'm thinking.

Its right there in the 2nd post >>93921642
Soul Scenery is a bond that causes something (Left vague) in nearby people, Soul Spirit makes that effect discern between allies and enemies. Its literally nothing like what >>93924562 describes so the answer doesn't even make sense anymore.

...Just for the record, I was asleep this time. I didn't say anything... I do say a lotta stupid shit though, so you might not be wrong per se.

Anyway, the intent of RAW is that mortal savant applies to the exact profession, not the technique. If you have 4 alchemy techniques, a single stack of mortal savant covers them all. If you have medicine, alchemy, and cooking (all very closely related fields that often reference each other), then in spite of the overlap that's still 3 different professions and would require triple cripple to cover them all.

However, as the author, I support death of the author (it's why I haven't popped in to police conversations or anything). I just felt like clarifying what I said a year ago since I think I'm at least responsible for that much. I don't really have anything against people trying to have creative interpretations, like with cooking just being a form of alchemy. It wouldn't be the first build this run to experiment with the rules either. I will not name nor shame them. If ignoring my weird in thread info dumps is needed for a healthy mp, then by all means, please ignore me. I'm not a DM and don't have any authority here.

>>93923946
So, funny thing that, the novel I mainly took as inspiration for this KtH's iteration of professions actually had Teaching as the main profession that the MC specialized in. It's always funny when things come full circle like that.

So, how is the Soul Scenery/Spirit supposed to work now? Any examples? In particular, is the Soul Scenery "aura" supposed to be "always on" and only controllable if you have Soul Spirits, or can you still control it, but it just isn't automatic, or in limited fashion (can't pick targets in range but can control the range; can't control the range but can toggle the effect on and off; something else)?

Why were your roots insufficient to provide it?
>"I respect my parents' efforts to set me up for success. But those of my father were so deliberate, that for a short time I wondered if his very union to my mother were merely a means to an end - that end being mine own self. This childhood worry soon faded, but the labor of finding successes which felt unowed to him yet remained. I eventually concluded that my greatest challenges must lie far beyond the seas of my homeland. My finding this place is proof enough that the gods favor the path I've chosen!"
What do you think will be your greatest challenge at the school?
>"Merely being in my presence kindles in some part of a person, however small, an instinct to yield. Many do not respond favorably to this."
What will be your greatest strength/What makes you stand out amongst your peers?
>"I cannot say my view of those who hold power in this land is a positive one, but I shall reserve my judgments of the Library's members until I meet them. I will simply say that the feeble farmer who dies to protect his family has a sort of strength which cannot be easily measured in this life. For better or worse, I often find myself serving as that measuring rod for those who'd strike down the farmer."
Did you want to come to the school or were you forced to? Why?
>"My mother once told me that, by my nature, the only one who could truly force me to do anything was myself. Perhaps this is true, but when the gods send me a talking owl who speaks of enemies I cannot hope to best as I am now, I'm inclined to believe him."

>>93926308
Soul Scenery/Spirit is kinda look voodoo or horror movie ghost stuff. They're custom abilities, much like Bloodlines, but typically more focused on utility or indirect means of combat. Stuff like cramming hours of torture in your enemy's brain every second, putting part of your soul into their body and trying to take control of them (no-diffs weaker targets, but an for an equal you might only get partial control of a limb or something), bending the area around you into an extremely hard to resist illusion, etc. Could also include more positive effects, like tying allies into a hivemind for hyper cooperation, using your soul as a conduit to lend people your strength, etc.

As far as Soul Scenery VS Soul Spirit goes, the latter turns your 1 custom ability into a custom ability with a mode change. The intent was that you could so something where if buffs your friends and terrorizes your enemies, but you could also do something like a curse that's very hard to detect (neutral effect is basically stealth for the curse), but can remotely turn into a curse that slowly kills the enemy (hostile effect is having the soul spirit start taking bites out of the target's soul). You could maybe even have it alternate, going back to stealth any time a doctor or something tries to do something about your curse, basically forcing the victim to either find someone way stronger than you to cure them, or to hunt your ass down and kill you.

I figured the technique AI fit comprehension better, and voodoo/ghost stuff was more thematic and synergistic with the cultivation system based around stealth and subtlety.

>>93926312
Granted, the return on investment is kinda slim. 4 alchemy techniques won't make you 4 times better at alchemy.
>>
>>93926308
>>93926406
Oh, and Soul Scenery/Spirit being passive or targeted is up to player discretion. As is whether the effects can linger outside of the range of the Soul Scenery.
General common sense rule being that things that are passive or linger outside of range would be weaker than something that's active or only works inside of range.

>>
>>93926455
ngl, that conversation dragged on for quite a long time and I lost track after a while. Was there something in particular you wanted to confirm with it?
>>
>>93926463
Just an explanation on what is the limit of what someone with Inherited Wisdom coul do. Like, at Grade 2 Qi Cultivation says that the user can cast spells. Could someone with ÇInherited Wisdom cast spells this way, since it's not a technique? What if they have a Variant Spirit Root, can they manipulate the element just like a normal cultivator would? Stuff like that.


I wasn't even part of the discussion, it just made me curious
>>
>>93926278
>I came out of my hidey hole, so if you want to grill me, now's the time.

How much of a trap (in universe) is it to pursue multiple form of Cultivation?

Also what does each realm on the path to Sainthood/True Devilry look like?

Was a retard for taking Crippled Soul and a flying sword Treasure?
>>
>>93926483
Gotcha. An inherited wisdom build that went with Qi is kinda like a bender from avatar with the option to also use non-elemental attacks. So shooting fireballs is fire. Having your fireball's path curve is also fine. Controlling your fireball after releasing it is fine, as long as you keep control of it from start to finish- i.e. if you keep focusing on that one fireball instead of spamming more.

I guess as background info, what inherited wisdom basically does is you go from being a cultivator to being a magical beast in human form. Things like dragons don't need to cultivate, they just get older and slowly become stronger. They don't have techniques, but they have special innate abilities that wield instead. Of course, unlike inherited wisdom builds, a dragon is smart enough to cultivate and learn techniques if it feels like it. (Dragon's are very much the mary sues of the beast world though, so it's not like every magic ape or tiger can cultivate.)

>>93926538
>How much of a trap (in universe) is it to pursue multiple form of Cultivation?
Basically it's the domain of geniuses. In world, it's easier to achieve 5/0/0 than 4/4/4, even though both are about as strong as the other. And more importantly, a 5/0/0 will live longer and have more time to level up again. For the grand, grand majority of cultivators, they die of old age before reaching 7th grade and becoming immortal. So for them, multiple systems is a trap that just makes it harder to live forever.

For top geniuses, it's different. Even if they're 3 times slower, they still have more than enough time to reach grade 7. In return, they have far more versatility, less weaknesses, and don't lose much in terms of combat power.

>Sainthood/True Devilry?
I ran out of word count. Next reply I'll try to answer.

>Was a retard for taking Crippled Soul and a flying sword Treasure?
No, using qi to propel a flying sword is pretty normal. Soul telekinesis is more precise, but weaker.
>>
>>93926590
I see, so an Inherited Wisdom user could cast spells through grade 2 qi cultivation?
>>
>>93926590
Huh, ironically Inherited Wisdom seems a lot more like Western magic systems where it can accomplish the same results but mostly through being born with your talent, rather than autistically training for it.
>>
>>93926590
Did you make a build this run?
>>
>>93926406
>>93926431
Alright, thanks. I was worried the idea I was working on wouldn't really work without spirits, and the spirits wouldn't fit fluff wise, nor do I have points for them. The Soul Scenery idea I have is a desolate mountain, and the effect is an aura of "loneliness", as in it causes the people in range to start to believe they are alone, so it causes the reverse of the "hyper coordination", prevents them from calling for help, and depending on the target might also sap their will to act, or conversely double it depending on how they handle having no one to fall back onto. My issue was whether that fits the ability at all, and how much control over it one could have (I was thinking the default for this idea would be "passive" aura, but with effort akin to the techniques marked with an asterisk, it can be suppressed to reduce its range up to touch).
>>
>>93926538
>Also what does each realm on the path to Sainthood/True Devilry look like?
ngl, fleshing out the cultivation realms was one of the most time consuming parts of making the CYOA, so I can't really give you the same level of progression. I also just... didn't have an exact idea in mind. So I can give broad examples, but they're the only way it could work. It's probably fine to think of every devil and every saint as being their own unique aberration.

Personally I see them as a more spiritual evolution.
-The early realms (disciple) would be about the corruption/purity seeping into their being and letting them free wield it. I.E. being able to attack people with evil magic that brings out their worst traits and drives them insane, or being able to wield purity to cleanse people of similar things.
-The mid realms (elder) is where I'm the most uncertain. You'd certainly have comparable feats to other elders, being able to fly and wreak havoc on entire cities, but I'm not sure exactly what they'd get that's truly their own.
-The late realms (ancestor) would be elevating the individual into an embodiment of pure good or pure evil. You'd be able to corrupt or purity others via the concept itself- a devil could worm their way into someone's heart at range simply by taking advantage of the evil in their heart, although other ancestors would likely be able to resist it. This is kinda Unicron territory could potentially revive yourself from death simply by the fact that evil continues to exist in the world, which is why when a young devil is found the whole world wants them dead. Granted this isn't transformers, we have super high level ching chong wizards, so finding a way to actually kill an ancestor level true devil isn't off the table. It's just very hard.

You could just take it as a more physical evolution though, like turning into a JRPG Maou or becoming a Bodhisattva.
>>
>>93926615
Depends on what you consider to be spells. What amounts to elemental bending would be considered a spell, and they can do that. If you're looking for something more complex than that, then the answer is probably not? As a general rule, if it has some kind of special effect or utility, then it's probably a technique. Like in DBZ terms kamehameha is just very strong ki beam so Inherited Wisdom can do it, Destructo disk has some bizzare defense penetration effect unrelated to it's power level, so inherited wisdom can't do it.

Spells are a very generic term here. Qi based techniques are also spells, and mundane mind pretty directly stops you from doing those. I guess you can think of it like "the things Grade 2 Qi cultivation lets you do are spells, but not all spells are unlocked via Grade 2 Qi cultivation".

>>93926623
Kinda yeah. It's an interesting observation.

>>93926641
Not yet, though I was cooking. This morning was a toss up between hiding in my hole and hammering out techniques VS crawling out of my hole and welcoming the drill. If you see C.C. in a cheongsam, that'll probably be my character unless someone steals my faceclaim. If they do steal my facelcaim they're getting a twin btw.

>>93926652
Honestly pure Qi swordsman are pretty common. Mainstream even.
Pretty cool. I like that, honestly. It'd be amazing against group fights and summoners.
>>
>>93926732
Can you rate the existing builds in terms of how fitting they are to the settings?
>>
>>93926732
I think (You)s got a bit tangled up. I'm the last one (You)ed, and it's not for a Qi swordsman, it's for a Qi cripple assassin. It would help in group fights/against summoners, but the main point, besides fluff, is to pull the "assassinate someone, and he doesn't call for help, and his allies nearby don't really care". It's also related to the bloodline (not very accurate Zhulong based on my misinterpretation of what info I found and what I wanted), and somewhat similar to the stealth technique I have (making the soul "still" to fit with the background, people see, they just don't find it out of place, like seeing just one more tree in the forest).
>>
>>93926739
...In theory? I'm kinda shit at rating builds and tend to devolve into trying to call everyone cool in their own way, so I just end up not doing it. And honestly I think that's how this would end. Xianxia is such a flexible genre that trying to be unfitting is actually quite hard. I could also easily end up causing more trouble than good- for example I could end up bringing up things that feel odd, and as a result fucking with the build making the anon feel like their build doesn't work anymore, etc.

It's a shame since I know having an author do that stuff can be fun, pass.

>>93926743
The Tao Grade comprehension user with the lower grade technique by a wide margin. They can probably make their own cultivation techniques faster than the first guy can learn theirs.

>>93926792
.......You know, that makes sense. You were talking about soul stuff after all...
Checks out. Soul+Body is a great gindset for an assassin. Being able to ensure single combat just makes it better. As for the Zhulong thing, don't worry too much. Phoenix's in Xianxia are basically just upscaled western phoenixes because the authors couldn't figure out a power to give them (Chinese Myths are notoriously useless for this stuff).

Not sure what exactly I'd rate... I guess the main thing would be Talisman Inscriptions? Everything is is kinda self-explanatory.

>Lotus of Yearning:
Doesn't really go into detail, so hard to say.

>The Evening Gate
Accessing a different dimension entirely is pretty fitting for a Tao Treasure. I'd say it's in the grey territory where it could be a tier lower and still work, but Tao Treasure helps sell the majesty of that mysterious mirror realm.

>Three Sisters Swords
Well, it's a mundane treasure and it doesn't have any special effects. Pretty clean cut.

>Thirsting Blade/Empty Fang Sheath
Life steal and regen I'd call Immortal Treasure grade.

>Zhimin
Not a lot of detail, but if it's making copies of the sword, I'd call that Magic Treasure territory. Wukong's staff is referenced as a Magic Treasure, and it can blot out the sky with it's size changing power.

>Red Star
Not much I can say.

>Heavenly Blades of the Fivefold Forms
Hmm... Immortal Grade for me. If it was just five element swords, that'd just be Magic Treasure, but the cycle thing does elevate it to a higher level.

>Moonshadow Fang
If it's just a shapeshifting blade, it'd be Magic Treasure tier. If it has some sort of mental magic that to messes with the enemy's perception I could see Immortal.

>Ring of Intrustion
A reality altering monster could potentially fall under Tao Grade.

>>93926891
Closer, but the Tao Grade comprehension haver still has a hefty lead. If the Immortal Scripture person did something like a Cultivation & Supporting combo where the supporting technique increased cultivation speed, it'd be harder to say. Could go either way.

I'll also just throw it out there that the Grade 10/11 cultivation technique user's do have their own advantage. Ever play those tactics style RPG games where the class a unit is effects their stat increases on level up? It's like that. Overwriting the base stats from your earlier level ups can vary from extremely difficult to outright impossible.

I think, especially because this is mainly a disciple run, it's fine to run them as-is in terms of what the character can currently access. A character in Xianxia with an amazing treasure that they simply can't make full use of due to their low power level is pretty normal. Tao Level effects effects were originally going to be locked to upgraded treasures precisely because they're more or less reality warping effects that people below ancestor likely aren't powerful enough to fuel.

So something like Zhimin might not just spawn a bunch of swords, at the highest level it might covert things into swords- the land, the sea, the sky, the enemies own attacks, all of it getting warped into versions of herself and sent flying at the enemy.

Or something like the Fivefold Forms swords and it's cyclical powers might eventually turn into a power that effects time itself, grinding away whatever it touches as the cycles repeat hundreds of trillions of times in an instant like an entire era passing in the blink of an eye.

Either way, even if the treasures themselves are capable of that kind of stuff, it wouldn't come into play until the user themselves is capable of supporting it.

>>93927161
Scaled down effects is specifically if it has the Inheritance treasure add-on. Otherwise you'd need to fuel the effect on your own to get it working. Whether that's feasible or not depends on how weak the effect can get without becoming something entirely different. Zhimin for example would be pretty manageable as-is. Just making a couple sword clones shouldn't cost that much.

>>93927172
Kek. Ahhh... Everything under the heavens will probably want you dead. More power to you of course. It's what the option is for.

>>93927206
If all else fails, just say that you don't know what it's full power is like. I suspect we won't see the disciples level up enough for it to truly come into play.
>>
>>93927093
Since we're talking about talisman inscriptions, would an inscription that lets a dagger make its surroundings brighter or darker be an appropriate level for a magic treasure (upgraded, life-bound, not inheritance)? Or is that too much and I should limit it to one of those? Or is that too little and I could squish in something like the brightness can be sharp enough to blind someone like a flashbang?

>>93927252
>>Scaled down effects is specifically if it has the Inheritance treasure add-on.

>>
>>93927285
General elemental manipulation tends to fall under magic treasures, so I'd say that's fair game even if you do both. Know however that people that hit like Grade 1+ in soul can pretty easily see through mundane darkness with their built in clairvoyance and probably wouldn't get flashbanged for the same reason. Similarly, detection techniques will likely pierce normal darkness even if they're eye based. If you wanted more magical dark/light that can fool the senses of a soul/techniques, that might fall more under immortal treasure.

>>93927326
Makes sense. Easy enough to do with how many terms the CYOA throws around.
>>
Is author anon still around? I want your thoughts on the characters so far. Not so much rating as fitting for the setting / overall vibe
>>
>>93927373
Well, there is still the stealth technique beyond that, and it was just a way to spend the leftover 5 points, so I didn't expect much, but if it straight up does nothing against anyone except for soul cripples without any detection techniques, that sounds a bit... Would the invisibility cloak given as the example also be this bad? I feel like at that point it might be better for it not to even be there just to lessen the clutter. I think I might have to either come up with some other inscription, or maybe just make the treasure mundane and use the 5 points for something else (no idea what, there aren't that many options).
>>
>>93927505
Also author anon, is this accurate:
>>93924482
>>
KTH author anon, for my Indian Devil Cultivator - If I took Second Style, would I be able to channel some of the powers of my Summons into my other fighting style? Like if I have a Summon that drive people violents insane when it screams, if I Second Style with Palm, would I be able to channel those madness vibrations into a palm attack and strike my foe?
>>
>>93927505
I mean, like I said before, being un-fitting to Xianxia is actually kind hard. Crazy cultists, zany jobbers, stalwart barbarian bros, jade beauties, mysterious humble-bragging try hards, people from literal modern earth for no explained reason, down to earth regular people, megalomaniac tyrants who seem to exist purely to make the world a worse place, etc, etc, are all things you can just run into in a novel depending on the author's tastes.

>>93927512
You could maybe argue some kind of partial effectiveness? I mean, if you look at from the flip side, a 5 point option that reliably counters opposing 10-20 point options would kinda cracked, right? So no matter how you really slice it, overcoming detection techniques on a 5 point budget would be a hard sell... Best I got is maybe a fake clone / afterimage effect? The kind that makes harmless illusions of the user. Even if the target can see through the illusion, they'd still need to spend some time and effort checking to see which is and isn't an illusion, so it'd have use for fast mixups in combat. I could see that as a magic treasure.

>>93927518
Xianxia fights tend to have a structure where the fighters start with their weakest attacks to test the waters and slowly work up from there. At the start of the fight, seeing them not use techniques at all wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Assuming both fighters are being 100% serious however, you can probably assume that non-technique attacks won't get you anywhere. Inherited Wisdom builds are a good way to look at it. If normal builds weren't expected to be able to spam their techniques, IH builds would clean house, right?

Techniques are a mix where sometimes they're a single, exact attack (I cast fireball), and sometimes they're more like a modifier or set of attacks (I spawn a sword of flames and can do sworsmanship stuff with it for a bit). Both are valid ways to do techniques depending on the fighting style you're looking to create.
>>
>>93927602
Hmm... Yeah, I'd say so. Second style let's you combine techniques, and that sounds like combining your summon technique with a palm technique. Checks out.
>>
>>93927632
Hey anon, questions
1. Is having a treasure that helps regens your Qi cheating? (Since treasures are supposed to use up your Qi, so having them replenish it completely counters that), If not, what grade would such power be?
2. On the same question as people wre having above, what would a Soul Refining Inherited Wisdom build do? Can they only do basic effects like making people sad/mad? Can they use stealth somehow, or is such power completely locked out for them?
>>
>>93927632
Base on how you explained it, grade 1+ Soul alone is the issue mainly. Anyone besides the Soul cripples has that, and that's enough to no-sell the effect completely, and it doesn't cost 10/20 points. Even the soul cripples could ignore it if they have any detection techniques, so the amount of people that'd work in is really small. And I didn't expect it to overcome detection techniques on its own, just slightly increase the reliably of my own 20 point stealth technique, act as a light source (mostly for fluff reasons), and if the flashbang was there then I guess also as a distraction (but it wasn't necessary, just an idea if the inscription was overall too weak).
The clone/afterimage doesn't feel like it'd fit the character much, but I have an alternate idea. The ability from the Royal Bloodline I have is a pseudo poison touch (causes rapid ageing/deterioration), so maybe I'll just take the magical treasure as something that helps extract that poison and then inject it into the victim, for faster/more direct effect. Would that sound more in line with that level of inscription?
>>
>>93927665
>1. Is having a treasure that helps regens your Qi cheating?
I've seen it before, so it's not impossible in the genre or anything. Typically it's either like a battery with a storage limit, or some sort of absorption effect that siphons Qi from the world around in (in which case it can have diminishing returns after you use up all the Qi in the area).

That said, you could run into issues where other anons think it's cheap or overpowered. So if you only care about RAW, it's doable. If you want your build to be liked by other anons and included in interactions and stuff... well I can't make any kind of promises about that. That's outside the CYOA itself and I can't take any responsibility for it. Best I can say is that if you're worried it might be broken, then other anons might look at it and also think it's broken and shit on the build as a result. Exercise discretion when making custom abilities.

>2. what would a Soul Refining Inherited Wisdom build do?
Well, the stuff they get from their cultivation they can still do. (Grade 1: Clairvoyance, Grade 2: Telekinesis, Grade 3: Soul Attacks), so by grade 3 they basically have built in detection, attack/barrage, and ambush attacks. Could maybe even get some movement by applying their telekinesis to their own body as long as it doesn't turn into straight up flight.

As far as stealth goes, they don't have access to any in built stealth, but they can use their clairvoyance to detect other people before themselves being detected, which is at least stealth adjacent. Otherwise they'd need to find another way to achieve stealth, whether they use their custom ability from Inherited Wisdom, the custom aspects of Soul Scenery, or just getting a treasure with a stealth effect.

>>93927716
Yeah, that sounds well in line with a magic treasure. Could even play with making the blade change sizes so you could extend it and poison people easier.
>>
>>93927808

Looks like I misunderstood Inherited Wisdom big time. Does this mean I can make a sword cultivator who actually just hones his sword skills as a method of achieving the Tao rather than wizardry? This is the best. Unfortunately it means I have to throw out everything I made but this is better.
>>
>>93927912
What were you doing exactly, anon?
>>
>>93927912
Yeah. Inherited wisdom could do swordsmanship stuff with any of the three cultivation systems. (Body would be the best for traditional swordsmanship, Soul would be best for flying sword mischief, Qi would be the balanced middle ground assuming your spirit root element is Sword.) it's pretty solid if you purely want sword autism with none of the other bells or whistles.
>>
>>93927957 (me)
Speaking of Inherited mind, you don't only get one system unless you're a double cripple or something. Since you don't need to pay for techniques, it's pretty easy to use all three cultivation systems. Just gotta pay the talent tax to level all three up.

Hey anon question.
Is "Qi Manipulation" a valid Fighting Style?
I mean, there's "Spells", but that option strikes me as a kind of complicated option to cast actual spells. I mean, something like just throwing fireballs as a technique that doesn't require a ritual to do.
>>
>>93928016
Well... You can absorb swords that touch you, so you're the bane of all swordsman. Also would apply to Sword Qi, so stuff like ranged sword beams would get absorbed too if they hit you.

FYI, be careful and make sure your opponent actually has a sword and not a dagger, a saber, or a funny looking spear. You wouldn't be immune to all bladed objects. Just swords.

>>93928056
Spells aren't exactly minute+ long rituals. Or rather, they used to be and the spells fighting style is basically a study in how to simplify those big ritualistic spells into weaker but more practical things that can realistically be used in combat. So Spells is probably what you're looking for verbatim. Of course, if you'd rather refluff and go for something a little different via a custom fighting style, more power to you. For example, spells probably at least need small chant or some handsigns, but in return have massive range. A custom fighting style where you give up that most of the range to no longer have that small delay sounds fair to me. In practice I don't see how it'd be any different from just using fist techniques or something.

>>93928203
Not sure why, but that makes me think of Shakugan no Shana's Moonlight Lost Child. Unless my memory fails me, it basically had the effect of harvesting distortions in space, fixing them and getting energy in return.

Anyway, if you take it at face value, you would absorb space itself, which is... all kinds of maybe we don't do that. Personally I'd say that per usual, space based attacks won't affect you (no forced teleports, no twisting you into a pile of mush, no cutting space to bisect you, etc.) I could see you maybe finding a way to teleport though by absorbing the space between you and your target? It's not like there isn't other ways to teleport, so it's not too big a deal if the character doesn't abuse it to do feats way beyond their power level like a disciple trying to outrun an ancestor or something similarly silly.

>>93928240
>>93928265
.....I mean..... I... I guess there's no reason humans or flesh can't be an element... If you were trying the old strategy of doing a Yin & Yang Immortal Physique, I'd just tell you that you'd only be able to absorb pure expressions of yin or yang and not things that are merely categorized under them (like men and women), but human or flesh is pretty explicit. I don't have a work around for that one. Gauntlets.
>>
>>93928203
Yeah, I thought of that for my spatial boy and gave up on it. I don't think it fits with this run since its too broken.

>>
>>93928312
>Anyway, if you take it at face value, you would absorb space itself
Maybe they can absorb Space Qi? If that's a thing.

... Is Spring Qi a thing?
>>
>>93928350
Yeah, Space Qi is a thing, and you would be able to absorb it. Outside of techniques that manipulate space, you'd also find it in natural resources related to space. For example The Heaven's Abyss is basically a giant, permanent portal, so you probably get a lot of ore and plants with space Qi in them around that area and the area in general would probably have some Space Qi.

Granted Xu's nonsense would probably have even better return on investment if you're inside of the abyss. It's like he's a beached whale and the abyss is the ocean he never knew.

It's also possible that you could break teleportation arrays by accident when using one and have an ancestor level figure knocking on your door looking to settle the debt since those things are expensive.
>>
>>93928412
Question, us there anywhere you'd find sword qi besides swords and sword autist?
>>
>>93928471
Battlefield and natural resources, I suppose. You can find ores and plants that innately have sword qi (the former typically being ideal sword smithing materials and the latter being good for alchemy with making pills to help sword cultivators level up faster). Meanwhile battlefields can have long lasting traces left behind. So like a chasm left behind by some sword ancestor's attack would have sword Qi in it oozing out of it for the next million years or something.

Oh, also beasts/monsters. Living things with sword related powers would obviously have their attacks carry sword qi, but their body parts harvested after death would have it too. That'd also apply to other elements like space, etc too. Could also apply to sword cultivator's corpses depending on how their cultivation techniques work.

I personally don't like it personally simply because the new added power requires hurting your cultivation to use, and can be replicated with Summoning Technique anyways (Granted it wouldn't nearly be as fast, but it wouldn't hurt your cultivation either)

>>93921642
How much does the spirit root influence the cultivator's qi techniques? Is the usage of techniques interacting with other elements limited in some way? Or is it just a STAB bonus in efficiency or learning speed?
>>

It's more STAB bonus, although you can have reverse STAB issues where an element that's bad for your element can be harder to use too.
>>
>>93929758
How about Variant Spirit Roots?
Say I'm Snow Root, does any Water Qi I use just become Snow Qi?
>>
>>93929774
To be more accurate, if you're a snow root, your Qi is Snow Qi by default and if you want to use a water technique you'd convert it into water Qi... If it just auto-converted back, you'd basically be unable to use anything but Snow Qi.
>>
>>93928800
You eying any other builds for rivals, friends, or handholding?
>>
>>93929825
Okay let me elaborate what I'm thinking.
Variant elements are rarer, right? So isn't taking rare elements like Spear or Virtue a bad idea if you're taking Immortal Physique? If you went with a Root with multiple affinities like all basic fire elements (Which are the most common anyways) you'd obviously be getting better bang for your buck since you could regenerate anywhere you want.

You could offset that a bit if variant elements were related to their original element, like Spear Roots also being able to absorb Metal Qi, but I'm not sure if that works.
>>
>>93929854
Or you could pick something crazy like Fate and be virtually untouchable to everyone on your level.

Hmm... If you ignore the massive gapping chasm that exists between a disciple and an ancestor, rival could be Wanroe. Probably sounds weird out of context, but it'd be less "we beat the shit out of each other on Tuesdays" and more "we're fated to someday have an epic showdown, and until then we'll try to piss each other off and be an inconvenience".

Friends could be anyone who's chill, so that's pretty open ended. Xu is super chill, Tain is maybe less chill but makes up for it by being a good natured gentleman, Zhimin is pretty chill, our elders seem fair chill on average... etc, etc. Lots of potential on that end. Even if I tried to list them all out, I feel like it'd be more than half of the current cast. We've got a surprising high chill ratio.

As for handholding, no clue.

>>93929854
Yeah, if you're looking to maximize your resistances, going all 5 basics is a good route. Qi cultivators are the most common, and most of them are going to be one of the five main elements. You'd basically be immune to the main strategy of like 80% of the cultivator population.

As for spear roots being able to absorb metal qi, that'd be a solid no. It sounds fair and balanced in that example, but think about if someone's root is Yin & Yang. Basically everything in reality is one of those two things, so if related things count, Yin & Yang immortal physique would be essentially unkillable. It's bound to have other exploits as well.

How does Inherited work with its adapted technique to use as a special ability? Do you have to purchase a technique to do it or is it just to categorize it. I saw the discussion of how normal actions of Inherited Wisdom can replicate stuff in terms of potency but not as much in terms of hands off control or special properties, but how does the Special Ability act in comparison? As I understand it it's basically a single Technique that you can use but inherent to yourself and not taught, and I assume it gains benefits from fighting style matches.
>>
>>93930521
Just categorize it, but there is always "Other".
>>
Anons give me an idea for my royal bloodline ability. I am completely at a loss for what I want from it outside of be better fighter man
>>
>>93930559
Have you picked the bloodline itself? As in what person/creature the bloodline traces to? What's the overall build theme?
>>
>>93930568
The bloodline is linked to a powerful cultivator of the past. Right now im using the filler name of "Dark Heavens Martial Emperor" to sort of encapsulate the gist of the linage. But I am hoping to replace that with something more unique by the time of posting the character.
Overall build is just a swordautist. But actual swordsmanship, none of this multisword flying BS.
>>
>>93930531
Problem is I don't know how it interacts with other stuff. For example would Perfect Efficiency boost the special ability as its mechanically derived from a technique, or because it's not really a technique it won't apply. Also how would something like Summoning work for Inherited Wisdom as it leans more towards higher spell type moves instead of the basic manifestation and manipulation.

I know the real answer is just be creative and justify it but I like knowing how stuff goes together mechanically as I'd rather measure twice and cut once.
>>
>>93930586
Saberfag mentioned creatures that have Sword Qi in themselves in this thread, so maybe something like that?
>Sword Qilin Beast Lineage
>Its ability allows you to become one with your Sword, allowing you to do some bullshit
>Perhaps allows you to unleash a Trump Card-level attack but without having to wait a moment to Charge it, since its execution is already written on your bones
>Of course, it only works if the weapon in your hand is a Sword

>>93930622
>Also how would something like Summoning work for Inherited Wisdom as it leans more towards higher spell type moves instead of the basic manifestation and manipulation.
Its a ability that you instinctually know how to do, somehow.
Its a bit difficult to fluff a summoning ability, but its not impossible. Maybe its just something you naturally do if you stop focusing and let it happen?
>>
>>93930586
Maybe some "Right of Authority". Like an aura that makes people tremble at your sight, or a straight up "Power Word: Kneel". Or some limit breaker mode? Try to think about what that powerful cultivator was like. What ability could run in his blood? Something that helped him rise to the top? Maybe something that developed because he already reached it?
>>93930622
The special ability specifically isn't as limited as other Inherited Wisdom effects, even if fluff wise it'll be somewhat more straightforward. Summoning is fine, but it probably won't be very ritualistic. In terms of dnd (ib4, hytnpdnd, but it fits), it's more sorcerer than wizard I guess. It's an innate power, either because it traces to some beast, or because it's a result of some fuckery not that unfamiliar to bloodlines.

How bout it turns you into a shadow blob and lets you shrink and grow?
I think a really tall guy made of darkness would be Dark Heavens Martial Emperor.

Are you sure it wouldn't be like a Dark Elemental?
That just sounds like a really edgy dude covered in spikes.

it seems really edgy, hence spikes. Chaos has nothing to do with spikes yet the fuckers are covered in em.

Could you make a Attack/Trump Card technique then spend multiple Support/Other techniques improving it, until you eventually get something on par with a Immortal technique?
For example

>Technique that writes another specific technique into your bones, making using it faster
>Technique that adapts your body to a specific technique, making your use of it stronger at the downside of nerfing other tech
>Cultivation technique based on focusing on a single move (Per Jackie Chan I fear not the man who has practiced a hundred punches, but the one who practices a single punch a hundred times), which also improves that single move
>>
>>93931014
I'm against that personally. All fated encounters except the Sovereign Successor (the benefit of which is the extra versatility of straight-up points) have something that pushes them over the limit of what's normally attainable. I don't see the reason to take that away from the Scriptures, especially if it seems like it'd be another buff towards the Fallen Immortals, since they are otherwise technique masters.
>>
>>93931014
Feels like trying to double dip on fortuitous encounters when you mention matching immortal techniques. In saying that, I think i'd rate it like this
>tippity top tier: Immortal Technique
>woah man tier: stacking supports and other (grade 10)
>damn son: grade 10 techniques
>The rest
I guess the issue might get murky if you were stacking lower grades against a single grade 10, but thats above my paygrade.

What's the use of World Seed if you're not a Profession Merchant?
>>
Does someone want to match Taoist Sibling with Yana?
No?
Well, to the abyss I go.
>>
>>93931105
I would but I don't have Taoist Sibling.

>>93931102
Limitless Storage. Use it for a Treasure wielding build or if you use a shit ton of talismans/consumables. Helps if you can actually make them but as long as you need to lug around a shit ton of stuff you can make it very useful. If you had a way to use the resource you are generating too it might be useful, like poisons and such but that also probably leans closer to wanting an alchemist or similar profession.
>>
>>93931141
You can get bags of holding for free according to the treasure section so it's not very good for storage.
>>
>>93931102
One idea I ended up giving up on (when I thought mundane mind was bad) was for an imperial soldier (soul and qi cripple) who had a world seed and have him carry and huge arsenal of different immortal/magic weapons he switched between.

Because spirit stones are naturally occurring I was going to have them be what he generates in his world seed, which would then fund his divine arsenal
>>
>>93931141
Problem with that (in so far as you trade another encounter for it) is that storage treasures are effectively infinite and free so it feels bad to use for that purpose.
>>
>>93931102
Infinite money. You can basically clone priceless, one-of-a-kind resources on demand. Assuming you don't get lynched for showing off your wealth, you could very quickly become ancestor levels of wealthy based on a World Seed alone, which in turn could be used to get pills, techniques, weapons, etc.
If you can get past the static nature of mps, a world seed would basically be an infinitely better version of sovereign successor.
>>
>>93931216
What's not an infinitely better version of sovereign successor lmfao
>>
>>93931216
I, >>93931167 thought this too but given that there is a advantage which mimics this for 20 points (hefty yes but not outrageous) it still not a great deal when the alternatives are all so excellent
>>
>>93931236
I'd only say the perk mimics a world seed if the character is already grade 10. For a low grade character, world seed would be like +7 or more grades worth of wealth instead of just +1. It'd be like saying Tao Grade comprehension isn't that useful because technique innovation treads similar territory.

Anons if I post 2 identical builds (minus fluff) could you help me decide which one to actually use. I have read some xianxia but I am not deep into the genre.

I've been going in circles for days and can't progress meaningfully.

The goal is to be a swordautist, who follows the path of the blade. My problem is:

The first build
>https://rentry.org/SwordFanatic2
Is PURE sword. But iI worry I am approaching stupid levels of sword. Like Ferrus Manus Iron Hand or Harold Deathwolf riding thunderwolf in the Wolfguard Nightwolfs.

My concern is its too much sword.

The second build
>https://rentry.org/swordfanatic

I want to go for the same core concept being a sword autist, but this time i've sprinkled in a more unique immortal physique, which then went on to better inform other aspects of his abilities.

My concern is now I don't have enough sword for my sword autist.

Any (You)s would be appreciated. Even if both ideas are trash I just need to know.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to use for a big boy inscription and just tried to put on something that'd be useful for her style for a lesser version. I'll probably steal the turning everything into swords.

>>93931105
I'd could switch something out for it, but it might be a little awkward. I didn't imagine her as having a proper master in this life.
>>
>>93931404
The netherworld stuff sounds spooky in a good way, but the first one is a lot more sword. I tried gong all on sword with my build so I don't think it's too much.
>>
>>93931337
Into what?

I wish I had time to lock in...

Assuming you have a Soul Refinement at a high enough level to escape your body and steal anothers (7+), would you be able to put off Fatal Illness from killing you?

The intention being to pull off some Fabius Bile shit where you constantly need to swap bodies to hold off death because your Illness/Curse will corrupt and destory any body you possess with enough time.
>>
>>93931927
If that was all it took then it wouldn't be nearly as incurable. The illness is likely body and soul.

For Alkaios
>"My father had me educated in statecraft in my youth, but the prattling of old men failed to hold my interest. In matters of warfare, my mother believed even the tutelage of a goddess was no replacement for the real thing. Thus, the battlefield became my Master! I was still a boy when I first led men into battle. I learned quickly how to wield my spear as an extension of myself, and I also came to understand the truths which brought my father so much success. A king's men must be willing to die for his glory, and he must be so capable that they appear immortal to his enemies!"
>>93927365
Yeah, I was thinking of the upper rank member who offers your build backing with Young Master. It's not like his own family can help out, so in this case the one helping him just isn't from his roots. He's also pretty cocky, so I thought it would be funny if Yèwǎn being a bird was actually what made Alkaios listen to him and join his sect. If he didn't believe it was a sign from the gods, he might still be on his own about to get pilled by an ancestor or something.
>Sounds like he's one of the last to join too
Most likely. I usually assume these things roughly follow the order the builds were posted in unless stated otherwise, and it also makes sense with him being a foreigner.
