I honestly forgot about the "qualitative" boost from Cultivation Techniques, I'll have to edit mine later.
>>
>>93963746
they feared it was a stillborn and didn't want to put in effort for it, so inevitably it was a stillborn
>>
>>93964419
It is also a cityanon's CYOA.
>>
>>93964419
I actually did put real effort into a build but just never posted it because I knew it was a stillborn. So I just dumped another build instead. I’ll just have it in my back pocket for TRAC 2. Real Academy City has never been tried after all…
>>
>>93963746
Lmfao why would I
>>
>>93964477
TRAC 2 will also be a stillborn HOWEVER
>>
>>93964419
I didn't fear anything. I just didn't want to play an objectively bad CYOA where no one really planned to have fun.
>>
So is the new filter 'no dead links'?
>>
>>93964509
Then I’ll just wait till TRAC 3
>>
>>93964443
I can't honestly tell when his cyoa is in its final version or not. It always seems like there is some sort of consistency error or ESLness that could be fixed with an update but wasn't. They're kinda alright for single player since you could just headcanon when it's unclear but you'd be mostly relying on the author to make sure everyone is on the same page for multiplayer.
>>
>>93964537
>>1
Let's find out.
>>
>>93964598
... did the thread slaves hit a filter on the nicknames and thought it applied to all dead links?
>>
>>93964605
The working theory is that's it's a mass reply filter.
>>
>>93964611
ohhhhh, that makes sense.

Strongly considering a KTH npc for no reason other than me liking to build

Made some changes to better fit the fluff and how I was trying to present him. I also changed his Tao from chivalry to sword because I want to focus his personality on being noble but not have it be his only thing. I've also included Ageratum as his fated rival. I want to lean into a really fated aspect of this where the two are so diametrically opposed it seems fitting that they will be each others downfall or something.

Funny I saw it the other way round. Tian in my mind is more of a of deutera-tritagonist. Someone like a lancelot or at his best a Glorfindel, someone who is on the good guys side and good at what he does, but he doesn't have "save the day" energy. Where Ageratum have BBEG vibes.

That said, I think there conflict should be kinda low level for the most part as students, just something that is foreshadowed or alluded to. Like Clark & Lex in smallville, the audience knows they are destined to be rivals but the characters dont think its that big of a deal.
>>
>>93968130
Agreed. I think it should be an ironic defeat on both of their parts. And yes, they most definitely should be "low level" rivals for now.

Battlefield Brothers was chosen mostly to represent his old war buddies who he now travels with, probably as some trumped up mercenary company.

Try and make sure it flows well. If it's wordy to read and gets stuck on something for too long, it'll be bad. If too many things happen at once, same. Leave wordy explanations for pivotal moments and defining moves that will have rippling effects throughout, like a crippling blow or one that opens up a win-con. Giving it a mind game aspect can work well, where they each strive to achieve a win-con and face hang ups. If they plan something out and discombobulate someone like the Sherlock Holmes scene, it usually won't flow well in writing. There's a reason he wasn't discombobulating every single bad guy. For writing fight scenes, I personally believe that suspense and changing circumstances are what you should focus on. This makes fights in writing between "less tactical" fighters more difficult, but still very possible. Funnily enough, think about it almost like a fighting game. While Wizard Willy can cast Surrounding Lightning Ring that will fully close in on Fighter Frank in TEN seconds unless he figures out how to escape, Fighting Frank can knock Boxing Bill on his ass and Boxing Bill better figure it the fuck out before he gets a haymaker to the teeth. Mixing up losses/wins and taking Pyrrhic or partial victories are important, too. If every time you write your build the fight goes the same way every time, it'll get more predictable, which you don't want. Don't be afraid to wank a little, and make some iconic moments, but don't make the opponent or a bystander look like shit unless it's sanctioned. If Fighter A parries that super fucking cool attack somehow TWICE it's far more impressive if Fighter B had gotten his health bar down to 1/1000 beforehand, even if Fighter A does lose in the end. But remember: if everyone starts parrying that super fucking cool attack people are gonna wonder why Fighter B keeps using it. Writing about how the characters feel and how badly they want to win will help make it kino too, but don't let them talk/think too much.

>Inherited wisdom is either WAAAY better than cultivation or WAAAY worse. Just pick a side and start making memes.
I finally read Inherited Wisdom better so I understand what it means. I think it's not better or worse, it's situational. It allows you to not bother with techniques and still be strong, but you have way less variety, you have only 4 techs vs the potentially unlimited ones of someone else. I guess my reasonable response is not as funny as a meme tho. I am considering it because conceptually it alligns with the character I have in mind but at the same time my chracter requires more variety to function properly, I may have a workaround in mind but I am not sure if it's worth it or if it's interesting enough to try, but I have time before I need to finalize my decision.

Ancestor Hundan can be everyone's without one rival.

Just shows up at the most unfortunate moment and makes things worse for them. He revels in their frustration and takes it as a compliment.

Disciples and Elders can only really endure his tests and grow until they become God's themselves. Other Gods can be rivals in earnest that Human would temper himself against.

I only now realized I deleted 70% of my post before posting somehow.

For the first idea I have a tao. Something to do with shooting stars, so a fast fighter based on evasion and maybe some star based magic. For this one I am not sure which of the 3 cultivation styles would be the best to have at tao grade, bloodline would work as the incarnation of a star but a star root could also fit. I have no ideas for cultivation tech but some ideas for combat ones. This one does not need to be a foreinger but I like it more as one.

For the second one it's a pseudo potentialman but not really. I have no idea what tao would be appropiate but the character is essentially a weapon built to kill gods that escaped control and now is in search of a purpouse and identity. I have a cool reason for a chinese name for this one. It would have tao level bloodline, with good spirit root but not much mind sea. It would be based on learning and adapting, making it's own version of the techs used against it. I was considering inherited wisdom for this one but making my special power the power to copy other techs and adapt them kinda feels like an exploit so probably not. And for this I have a vague idea foe cultivation techs.

I guess it doesn't specify their limit or yours so it's conceivable that he knows the actual objective peak of your performance at any time and sets up tests that require 100% optimal solutions or lead to your death.

Bold to take him as as a rival but if you do survive It probably is the equivalent of power leveling

If you don't have any ideas for techniques aside from combat ones why not have them be a non-human inherited wisdom build? Like an actual star that fell to this planet(maybe sent by the sovereigns?) and gained a human form?

Yeah, rival just says they're willing to surpass them, even at the cost of their life. Fights between rivals would realistically only happen whenever one of them makes a breakthrough, in order to test their new toys. All our builds are effectively geniuses though so breakthroughs and notable developments should happen often. Like, once a month.
>>
>>93974888
Nta but starman sounds cooler. Sharingan are lame and for you to pull it off would require 1000x more effort. Stars however are an untouched concept for this run so it's unique and can be done in several different ways.
>>
While I'm updating my chart, I'd like to ask KTHanons:
How does your build fight? Slow, methodical? Fast, unrelenting? Flashy? What tricks do they pull off, or do they not use gimmicks?
Other than being a fightfag I wanna do a fighting game archetype tier list or chart.
>>
>>93974995
I like the second one slightly more and I have more material and a more concrete storyline for it. When I say weapon I mean in a more conceptual way. It's more like a puppet powered by a soul, it was supposed to be just a generator but the sould rebelled somehow and gained sentience. I am not sure what tao it would follow, something like "freedom" to never be enslaved again or something more in line with it's original purpouse, maybe both? I am not sure if there is a "Loose cannon" tao equivalent.

I do like the idea of the other one being an actual star, and it sounds like it would upset people less than the other.

>>
>>93975179
Starman is conceptually closer to what I assume xianxia is about, I have a tao for it and techs and even cultivation now somewhat, but I have less of an idea for a storyline. The other one is the opposite, I have a very clear character and story in mind but it does not really have a clear tao or xianxia feel. I guess I should start gathering images and stuff for starman now, it's going to be hard.

>Tian
If I had to describe his entire schtick simply, it would be "economic" or "precise". He doesn't duck a blow when a simple head tilt would cause it to miss as well. To him dodging by a hairs breath is as good as dodgy by a mile. He doesn't throw his entire weight into a swing when just the right amount of force would achieve the same thing.
This is shown through his sword form which is based upon the art of calligraphy, where each stroke needs to be measured, precise, and full of intent.
And reinforced by his supporting techniques in footwork and perception.
That's not to say he isn't capable or unwilling to deliver powerful blows or leap onto a tree tops, he can and does, but only to achieve specific purposes. Never to be flashy and wasteful.

>Flaws
If he was to be criticised by the teachers it would be for a lack of ruthlessness or ambition. Which means he can be exploited, him going for disarms or inhibiting wounds when his opponent might be going for the kill.

>Qi/aura sense
his is a soft white radiant glow. It feels warm and has the properties of calmness, tranquility, and serenity. When focused it gains a vorpal sharpness as befitting a sword cultivator.
>>
>>93975182
Shen is domineering and fast in combat. Overwhelming force is the best way to put a stop to any fight and he relies on his Barrage and Footwork attacks to relentlessly assault an opponent until they've reached compromised state. Then he'll use his Sky Shattering Fist to finish the battle with a bang (This is a bit of an ego move, as the technique is hardly something on the strength of a Trump technique, but the thunderous boom of the strike adds a dramatic flair that he enjoys).

>Ageratum
If you ever played Blazblue I imagine he's kinda like Arakune. Using his runes to grant mutations and increase his stats. Since he isn't very skillied, he mostly has to rely entirely on the raw stats and gimmicks the mutations would give him. As for what those runes could do? Anything from letting him change color like a chameleon, or turning him into metal, or breathing fire. Also, since he has to make runes before combat starts, he isn't very adaptable without downtime and he runs on limited resources. He can also make terrain more favourable for himself or others and have "penalties" in it for doing some actions, but unless you're fighting him in his hut or somewhere he had gotten VERY familiar with before, this won't come up often. He also can make deals with the Evening Gate demons, so him deploying a Pokeball with one isn't out of the realm of possibility. As for what the Evening Gate demon could do? I'm planning on fleshing out the realm to give a better idea of it, but any he would have on hand wouldn't be that powerful, and would likely have no gimmicks.

The WIP is mostly for the techniques, but I intend to get to the previous thread prompts after those. As for if he brought his warbuddies to the Sect; he absolutely would have, they're his bros. I'm not sure if the teachers will allow them entry into the Sect itself but if not imagine they're hanging out in one of towns near the Sect, doing odd jobs for the locals and waiting for Shen to sneak out when he can to join them in the local watering hole.

Much like mortals, the gods too seek to Kill the Heavens. One attempt to breach the gap of power was the Five Emperors Forge, which attempted to create weapons worthy of a Sovereign, that 11th Realm.

The Heaven-Cleaving Sage Jian was one of those weapons, designed to use the wisdom and power of an ancient dragon’s soul. However, not only was the blade a failure, but the soul used was mistakenly taken from another world - one where dragons are natural disasters of fire and greed.

Treated as a flawed, cursed blade and discarded to the lower reaches of the world, the treasure spirit of the Fallen Sage Sword gradually took on the colors of a dragon, becoming Hóngxīng. Servitude and a human mind awakened bestial pride and cunning, becoming an alloy of both.

Hóngxīng is proud, gluttonous, lustful, lazy, envious, wrathful, and extremely avaricious, the polar opposite of what a sage should be. Her wielders rarely keep her for more than a week, whether she decides to ditch them or her personality makes them throw her down a well. Surprisingly simple to get along with, just play to her desires, but she’ll still be annoying even if she likes you. After all, in her mind, all of her wielders are ‘her treasures’, for her to do with as she wishes.

But if you can put up with her, you’ll find a sword unlike anything under heaven. Just don’t mention those Immortal Armament whores…

>Likes
Being praised, anything shiny or valuable (if she can have it), being amused, getting into fights, getting oiled properly, adding memories to her hoard

>Dislikes
Being stepped on or used for cooking, Immortal Armaments, Stoics, birds

>Goals
0) Amuse herself
1) Find a proper wielder
2) Reobtain her proper, draconic form
3) Pillage Heavens-Chan

>Alkaios
His style is a large, showy one honed as much by extravagant tournaments as it was 1 v army conquest. His movements do not appear especially efficient nor his strikes particularly measured, but there is a method to his madness. His style of fighting is mentally and physically exhausting to face, utilizing momentum, acrobatics, and reckless adaptability to keep the opponent off-balance, open up opportunities for overwhelming attack, and present false ones of his own. Long engagements against him are suffocating tests of will which reveal a surprisingly calculating foe.
>Flaws
Alkaios has a certain code of honor which leads him to refuse easy kills or advantages others would probably take. He may postpone a bout against a worthy foe if he believes they aren't in top form or even handicap himself to even the odds. Likewise, he may deny someone the glory of a warrior's death if he feels they haven't earned it. He is also unfamiliar with this land and its history, as well as the ruthlessness and caliber of combatant he is likely to face. Though his earliest days here did offer him something of a crash course in this new jump in ability. Kinda like the start of a new arc in a shonen which reveals the last arc's enemies weren't shit.
>Qi/aura sense
Even when unfocused, his presence is like a steady pressure which both demands and assumes fealty from those around him. Those who reconcile their own will with his may find his presence uplifting, as if Alkaios himself were the rising tide lifting their boat. When focused, it charts an immutable course forward, bringing into its fold or shattering all in its way.

Dong Fuai will arrive at the same time as another disciple, having travelled with them before arriving, as for how their dynamic works, that would depend on who he travelled with, and how many, I have some ideas, but until I finally write a rentry for one of these.
>>93948530
>Benevolence: 10/10
Dong will help out anyone he runs into, this stems from his past with his parents, but also because it tends to lead to interesting shenanigans like his Fated Encounter (What he doesn't know is that, as a heavenly Taoist, Karma is playing a massive roll in his cultivation, and he keeps gaining more so the heavens have to even it out)
>Righteousness: 5/10
Dude was raised a peasant so he doesn't have a real sense of justice outside of "Remember your manners/Be courteous", this is not to say that he's okay with injustice, which will drive him to action, though normally in an "Explain yourself" way
>Propriety: 3/10
As a vagrant child, you get what you can find, and If someone says it's theirs, they better have proof, but if it obviously matters he'll drop it
>Wisdom: 4/10
He gets battle tactics, he gets bants, and he gets having empathy, but that doesn't mean he's smart, especially if he can have fun with something
>Sincerity: 10/10
The boy can't lie to save his life, but that also means that if he gives you his word, you have it
>Loyalty: 5/10
If he's made you an ally, he'll always be beside you, but if being beside you hampers him with nothing gained, or worse, you get in the way of his fate, he will leave, which the Cobalt Crane learnt the hard way
>Filial Piety: 10/10
Dude's family is still alive, all travelling around the mortal empires, being (Mortal)doctors, he sends letters
>Honesty: 10/10
Read Sincerity
>Self Discipline: 6-10/10
Dong is fated to expand Cultivation, which is why he is influenced so heavily by it, so his self-discipline is a weird cross between, "I wanna be here" and "The voices in my head say 'Do this now, we demand it'"

Zhou Yun is a ferocious but cunning fighter. He uses his high level skill and immense strength, speed, and durability to launch blitzing attacks where he seeks to cut and slash enemies. He is a prolific user of heart force/domain and Having less "tricks" compared to traditional cultivators has worked more extensively to truely master what he does have.

For example, as he is hard to perceive with divine sense he will often tightly control the aura he has to feint, tricking enemies into parrying attacks that never comes whilst leaving an opening elsewhere.

Likewise, he consciously controls the shape, intensity, and flow of his Terminus Aura to erode enemy focus, willpower, and induce mistakes in their plans/execution as even the most stout hearted warrior has a fundamental and intrinsic fear of death.

overall though he is very much dependant on the attack/footwork/barrier enhancement.

>flaws
it's pretty obvious. He doesn't have techniques, only physicality, skill, speed, and some natural endowments in the form of bloodline, soulsea, and immortal physique.

>Aura
Zhou Yun if viewed through Qi is covered in a black-purple mist. While his blade glows with eerie green light. He is strongly aligned to the Netherworld Sword Sovereign who embodied the Laws of Life and Death. This manifests, when he is a foe as an impending sense of doom. Like a grim reaper or other more culturally relevant psychopomp.
>>
>>93975182
Méi's fighting style is very balanced overall, and this solid base is improved through her adaptability. In fights she often starts fighting much in the same way someone with the palm or dist style would, and after she has checked out the capabilities of her opponent she'd change her moves as needed, like spamming her techniques from a distance, or focusing on her mobility to outmaneuver them.
Her main weakness is, as often is the case with her, how naive she is. It's not that she'd fall for feints, but she'd fall for lies, as she has this mental image of cultivators as noble fighters that wouldn't do things like lie in combat.

>Qi/Aura
Hers is hard to describe, as it seems to change depending on who is perceiving it. However it always seems to be extremely alluring, sometimes to the point of feeling overwhelming.
>>
>>93975182
xū doesnt fight at the start and mostly just runs around and dodges while yapping
if he actually commits to the battle then his style would basically be like the one described in his rentry

>Xū’s fighting style is a paradox—a non-style that exists only because of the absence of style. It is "other" not because it is new or different but because it lacks the defining traits that any other technique or method possesses. It cannot be replicated, taught, or even fully understood, as it does not rest on a foundation of what "is" but rather on what "is not."
>His fighting style is defined by the absence of any specific form or pattern. Unlike the precise strikes of a saber technique or the fluid movements of a spear art, his actions do not follow any learned sequences or refined motions. Instead, they are characterized by a lack of predictability, as if he operates in the negative space of conventional combat.

he also does all sorts of weird shit while fighting, like erasing the perception of a chance to strike from the mind of his opponent so they dont notice it and can't capitalize on it, or erasing the air around them to cause vacums that mess with their movements
or straight up use his life saving and trump card techs at the same time kek

he doesnt have a qi or aura, and doesnt even look like a void through senses made to perceive things like that, instead he simply isnt there
>>
>>93975182
Dong tends to fight in mid-to-close range, focusing on overwhelming his opponents by using the [Three Sisters Swords] to effectively cage them, at which point he uses both the flying sword skills and some much weaker (As he isn't proficient in them) punches and kicks to keep the opponent in his "Zone", tending to focus on his barrage and footwork techniques to keep them off-balance while occasionally throwing in one of his Attack techniques while off-sided-ly using his Endurance technique to outpace his opponent and exploit their weaknesses.
Outside of that, he tends to avoid outright killing opponents, and will usually fight till either the opponent yields or they fall unconscious.
Also, expect the odd Jackie Chan moment where he screws around and TK's a bench into someone's head.
>>
>>93979555
cont:
>Flaws:
While Dong's fighting style is about creating an area where he and his opponent can go at it: "You're also trapped in there with him" and can get right to beating him up if you're also quick enough, and while he's technically fighting as a team of four, Dong's personal strikes are less effective since he's not swinging the swords he's flinging at you, and his reluctance to use lethal force means you'll be hit with the flat of his blades as opposed to the edge, outside of that, if an opponent keeps their distance, or can simply shrug off his hits, he'd be hard pressed to win without the aforementioned "TK BS".
>Qi/Aura Sense:
Dong's aura takes the form of a noticeable Yellowy-green that flickers off his body like fallen petals when he's exerting it, aside from that it tends to overwhelm people's nasal senses with a string flowery aroma and has a warming effect like direct sunlight on an otherwise cold day.
>>
>>93979531
I like Xu but he feels very difficult to write for pretty much anything. How does someone who always fights to kill and has the ability to remove concepts (such as his opponents perception of him) and can erase matter (creating vacuums) not just wave his hand and wipe his opponent from being.

also it seems a bit busted to say he is 100% invisible to qi detection it would make sense for him to be a void of qi since that is his whole null thing this is even more hacked than that.

Like what in this post holds true if his opponent is an elder or ancient?
>>
>>93979688
Rule of Jool (jobber cool)
He can do stuff that sounds cool despite the implications, and then he can't do what those things imply.
it's like asking why can't a teleporter teleport into/away his enemy's brain. They... they just can't. As for why? The Tao supplants and resists the void or something.
Agree on the qi detection complaint, even if he could absorb the void that would be seen there should still be an anomaly, like a pulling effect where he would be. If his Exotic Spirit Root was "Stealth" or something I could see the argument for Total Qi Detection Immunity but giving Void that AND all that other shit? Naaaaaw.
>>
>>93979688
thats fari honestly
the invisibility part is completely useless against any sort of detection technique though, and if the opponent releases a bunch of qi or life force or whatever around them then they'll feel him as a blindspot, like throwing flour at an invisible man

the concept part is the weakest, like only useful for minor clutches on the level of tao heart force for example

his erasure attack is still an attack technique, so the speed is moderate and gets countered by barrier techniques, or the target is faster than him and they use a footwork technique to dodge

>>93979797
I guess. Its just very inconsistent to me to be a ruthless killer who also "just isnt". I think it stems from the absolutist way its written, rather than for example "targeting the weak minded to remove the perception of a vulnerability" its just "erases their perception" no ifs, ands, or buts. For most characters you dont have to specify "oh yeah the other guy gets to resist being stabbed" but when you are just erasing shit it comes off as kinda whack

Thats essentially what Qi/life/soul/divine sense or whatever the fuck you want to call it is though. Cultivators don't need a technique to do it, its part of them interacting with the world.

That's the failings of flavor and fluff. You can say your Attack technique rends the Heavens and erases the history of whatever it hits but my Barrier technique that is a fart cloud will block it just fine.
I think you have a serious issue of "didn't fully read the cyoa"

Okay anon, riddle me this.

>Reversal Technique, Gentle River Reflection
>This technique is more efficient than most, as it turns the force of the opponents attack against itself. However, this only neutralizes the enemy attack rather than reflecting it.
However the CYOA says that Reversal techniques always cost more energy than the attack being reversed and that they reflect the attack. So do I stay faithful to the author and follow the CYOA's text, or the technique description?
>>
>>93980128
>the writing felt appropriate because tao grade stuff is supposed to be this super crazy stuff
Nta but that's true, he's got Tao Element and Exotic Spirit Root so it should be a remarkably unique and powerful thing, and the techniques are upgraded on top of that.
>>
>>93980247
Reversals redirect, they don't always reflect, read the cyoa. It's more efficient but still costs more than the attack to use.
Redirecting something into itself so it collapses is still redirecting.
Bonus secret esoteric knowledge that may not be verifiable coming through: I believe Saber anon once said that a Reversal that redirects into the user to absorb the energy, nullifying or heavily reducing the cost would be ok. This doesn't mean anything because you would still have to use more energy in the first place, you just get it back.
Like I said, I can't verify this.
>>

>This doesn't mean anything because you would still have to use more energy in the first place, you just get it back.
Sorry what

>Your Reversal can't cost less energy than the attack its blocking did

This is just rules lawyering.
Why?
>>
>>93980304
Bro do you even math
Attackman used Fireball for 1000 Stamina
Reverseman used Reverse for 1001 Stamina
Fireball did 1000 Stamina to Attackman
Attackman down 2000 Stamina, Reverseman down 1001 Stamina
Difference of 999

Attackman used Fireball for 1000 Stamina
Absorbman used Absorb for 1001 Stamina
Fireball did 1000+ Stamina to Absorbman
Attackman down 1000 Stamina, Absorbman down 1 Stamina
Difference of 999

They end up at the same "mathematical" conclusion you dingus, but they change the circumstance of the battle in a different way
Y'know
Like a technique should

Also this all irrelevent anyway like I said
>>
>>93980336
>>They end up at the same "mathematical" conclusion
NTA, but not really. You're ignoring a lot of factors. For example, throw in "max stamina". Let's say attackman has 5000 max stamina and reverse/absorbmen have 2000 max stamina.
>Attackman vs reverseman [current stamina/max stamina]:
5000/5000 vs 2000/2000 -start
3000/5000 vs 999/2000 -after the first reversal
Next attack, reverseman can't reverse, gets brought down to -1 stamina, attackman wins.
>Attackman vs absorbman [same as above]
5000/5000 vs 2000/2000 -start
4000/5000 vs 1999/2000 -after first reversal
3000/5000 vs 1998/2000 -after second reversal
2000/5000 vs 1997/2000 -after third reversal
1000/5000 vs 1996/2000 -after fourth reversal
0/5000 vs 1995/2000 -after fourth reversal,
attackman is out of stamina, absorbman wins
For the ez calculation, look at relative stamina gain/loss, rather than just absolute. Against reversman, attackman pays 2000 to "hit him" for 1001, so 50.05% efficiency. For absorbman, he pays 1000 to hit him for 1, so 0.1% efficiency.
>>
>>93980336
There are still things that "contradict" the exact wording of the CYOA but still make sense.
Hell the entire techniques tab clearly sticks to using words like generally, usually, etc because a technique can be written in a thousand of different ways so throwing a prescriptivist "When X meets Y THIS happens" doesn't make sense anyways.

First of all, I'd like to remind you that that said technique section isn't canon. It was scrapped. It's not officially part of the cyoa; it's second-hand info.
Although I can still refute both of your points so that's irrelevent.
>Barrage techniques don't have a *, so this is illegal.
Not quite. You didn't exactly show the text for this second-hand non-canon information but if you were to actually read the cyoa, you would know that it says pic rel under barrier. Techniques that leave aftereffects are perfectly legal.
>Summon techniques are 10% to 75% of the user's strength according to the CYOA.
It says normally. It would say always if there were no exceptions.
>>
>>93980449
He didn't ask how you feel, he asked why it's better. If it's only 'better' because you feel like it is, then just say it's subjective. If there was some sort of objective reason you could talk to that.
>>
>>93980413
I was actually perfectly aware of that situation and would have brought it up if someone asked what the difference would be.
Like I said,
>they change the circumstance of the battle in a different way
The take away is that what the technique does is "equivalent" and not dramatically stronger or closer to a different technique.
They're equivalent in a vaccum.
If you want to say "this clearly shows that Absorbman is stronger!", that's because you're not including factors that would make Reverseman stronger.
>>

>How does that block my Earthquake attack

Clearly it shouldn't and a writer will just have the blocker use a footwork technique to jump instead, but the CYOA might be saying that Barriers blocking attacks is a universal truth, so here we are

Another question.

Why are you unwilling to actually state the reason for your assertion.
Here let me try for you.

>"I believe it is required to mix cyoa text and writers fluff from techniques because if only the cyoa text is taken there can be issues where techniques or situations are resolved in an unsatisfactory manner. By taking only the writers fluff we could end up with power creep and risk the techniques being capable of too much. But by mixing we can achieve a good balance that enhances storytelling, maintains point cost balance, and allows us a good amount of variety and esoteric abilities."

Weren't supports supposed to give you another cultivation benefit rather than just cultivating faster? Like putting you higher in your grade rather than just letting you advance faster. Examples were like increased qi reserves or something iirc.
>>
>>93980946
The CYOA describes it as "Helps you cultivate faster" too even though its kind of misleading.
I think Saberanon messed up when making examples for them when because "Nine Skies Inner World" is implied to triple your Qi reserves
>>
>>93980946
>Weren't supports supposed to give you another cultivation benefit rather than just cultivating faster
That's what the normal ones are supposed to do; they add something you couldn't do.
Like a Qi Gathering technique that splits your inner Qi into Yin and Yang (idk what that does btw).
Supports take something you could already do and make you better at it, like deepening your reserves.
>>
>>93980946
I might be wrong, but my understanding of Support techniques are that they had a specific area of focus for your particular brand of Cultivation that you are able excel in.

E.g. One Support technique for a Body Tempering technique might be dedicated to increasing your grip strength to a stupendously high degree. Or perhaps you had a Support technique for Qi Gathering that allows for the shaping of your Spirit Root's element more precisely.
>>
>>93975182
>Zhimn
Zhimin's about speed and precision without wasting movements. Still elegant in action, but not especially flashy as she's trying to land a killing blow. Flashiness would mostly come from how things are smoothly strung together. That's at least true for her swinging a sword around, but she usually fights with some amount of flying swords as well and those and a swarm of blades are going to be more visually impressive even if the M.O. is more or less the same. It also means she has lot more natural range.
Together, she'll try to literally and figuratively pin her opponent. There's a relentlessness to it as blades try to skewer and slice from all angles, and the way she'll generally operate is to continually press the attack while flying swords come in to block or deflect for her if needed. Most of the trickiness would from her willingness to suddenly let go of/send her blade flying since she can TK it and just grab it again or one of the copies flying about. So if she was caught in an unfavorable bind she might leave the sword in it to attack with another. It's also probably a bit disorienting to have a bunch of flying swords coming at you and someone taking shots from between them.

For Qi/Aura she'd be perceived no different than any of her swords, platonic ideal or something. It feels cool and sharp, as if a blade is pressed to your neck or poised to pierce your heart.

>Batudai
I already discussed it a bit in the build: https://rentry.org/KTHBatudai#skillset
But I'll try to explain it another way.
Overall, as an assassin, the primary option is not to fight, but just to kill. Find an opening, and then quickly and brutally exploit it. If, however, it comes to a fight, the tactic doesn't change much, but the opening needs to be created. The default is the mix of his rather defensive barrage and endurance to methodically, but quickly, pressure the opponent by denying him the initiative. If that's enough? Great, try to rush with Footwork + Attack, and fall back to the previous plan if it didn't work. If opponent doesn't give an opening just from being pressured, but instead tries to break through it, go for the Reversal to create an opening that way. While he aims to end the fight quickly, he doesn't really go for high-risk plays. He'll try to exploit openings, but if it's not working, he'll continue to work towards better ones rather than to try and force it.
His style is the opposite of flashy. Not much obvious magic, besides just breaking human limits on athleticism. The more obvious supernatural effects are from footwork and the time-poison touch, but they aren't that flashy either. Essentially, just go grab and shank the target.
>Flaws
He operates in set patterns, so if you learn about him, there aren't any tricks you must look out for. If you play defensively yourself and don't give him any openings, he doesn't really have any way to break through that.
>Aura
https://rentry.org/KTHBatudai#stone-stays-still-stealth-grade-10
https://rentry.org/KTHBatudai#soul-scenery
He's a Qi cripple, so that's comparable to a mortal, but the Aura is there in a way, but very difficult to detect, not for it not being there, but because its presence seems natural. If it's not suppressed, it will also make you feel lonely, even if you're among allies. If you can see through that, it feels cold and distant, like a mountain peak.

>>93975182
Yue's fighting style is primarily about keeping control and being high pressure. Typically she holds her guts saber in one hand and keeps the other hand open for her palm techniques. Normally this means that she uses her open hand for barrage and reversal, with the guts saber being there for bigger but slower attacks. So she's got some of the fastest attacks and some of the slowest, but not very much in between.
In particular, her reversal and movement techniques are made to break the opponents momentum and throw their strategies out of place. Footwork excels at charging forward against ranged enemies and forcing both parties to reposition (So if they have summons or lingering AoE effects she can just drag the enemy away). Stealth isn't useful unprompted, but if her enemy loses line of sight it can suddenly become a very big issue (it's her imperfect answer to Trump Cards, since it basically lets her break lock on and hide while the Trump Card is charging up). Reversal doesn't reflect damage, but instead uses the power of her enemy's attack to forcefully reposition them (usually so she can get her own attack in, but it's also a great way to set up her Stealth technique).

Past that, she's also got things like second style's ability to combine techniques (ex. fuse attack and reversal to create a super parry that adds the force of Yue's heavy attack to her opponent's and uses that combined force to yeet the enemy into air), or Tao Grade Comprehension's ability to basically make summons (not something she'd want to do unless forced to, but it's certainly an option). There's also the semi-secret synergy that she could make a bunch of summons that'll believe in her via Tao Grade Comprehension, letting her meet the condition for her Trump Card. So she also has a last, last, last ditch power play if she needs it.

In terms of fighting game stuff, I guess she'd be like a Rush/Grappler hybrid? Not sure.

>Style
Shizi generally opens with his claws, testing his opponent's reaction speed, or their durability if they get hit with his Barrage technique. Using his claws to either make an opening or get close, he'll try for a grapple if he sees an opportunity, but if the opponent isn't getting caught by it he'll continue to use his claws, using techniques in order to increase his durability in order to eventually get an opportunity for a duel-ending grapple.
>Flaws
Shizi's style is likely the most predictable in the entirety of the Open Sect, allowing anybody with a degree of skill and speed to outmaneuver his claws and grabs.
>Archetype
Shizi is a Grappler through and through. His closest contemporaries in the fighting game world would be Potemkin and Beowulf, which means if you get grabbed, you're fucked. But also if you get grabbed, its a massive skill issue.

So far it's looking like Ageratum and Zhou Yan had similar taste in women. No clue what that taste is.
>>
>>93983095
Yunyun seems like he'd want to do some fencing with one do the sword women. Ageratum...I can't see him wanting to deal with either of them long term. Strikes me more as the type of guy to summon a succubus.

Men.
>>
>>93983221
I could see Aggy pining for Xu I suppose.
>>
>>93983208
So what you're telling me, is that one of the sword wielding women is actually a succubus that Ageratum summon and lost control of?
>>
>>93983376
I think by sword women, he meant Zhimin and Hongxing. Of the two, I'd guess Hongxing is closer to a succubus?
>>
>>93975182
>Wanroe
Assuming she has to fight on her own power, she first lets out her Ambushing mist to cripple her opponent's ability to even know that a fight is going on, then if their strong enough to maintain their reasoning she lets her true form loose to enhance her durability as use her claws to rip apart her opponent, or if she can force medicinal drugs into them so they're rendered toxic by her own poison.

In terms of a fighting game, I'd say she's an odd kind of Zoner that can put up clouds of deliberating gas around for a set period of time.
>>
>>93983221
That's only true for Ageratum since she's a girl under the mask.

I'm back.
In V1 it was a trump which was arguably more fitting. I changed it for a few reasons. First and foremost of which was that on a basic level the technique was meant to emulate a sort of "return to essence" (which is why it is a hard counter to elements).
When I thought about how the technique would achieved it, it was through what I imagined as overwhelming tranquility. A sort of subtle force or peaceful domination of 'tranquil/pure qi'. Reading the threads and the techniques gave me the idea that rather than deliver it through a Kamehameha style attack (trump) he could instead enact a 'qualitive' change to his Qi and fighting style (supporting). This to me was more inline with his fighting style, demeanor, and characterisation.
The reason I thought this was fine mechanically is the description from the Supporting technique description namely:
>Improving some facet of the user in a qualitative way
>Improving some facet of that form of cultivation
>In a sense these techniques are a multiplier to allow the user to specialise in something helping them triumph over peers.
This all seems to fit what I was going for.

while it can't come up, in a couple centuries/millennia this would be the basis of his self developed techniques becoming a trump, a barrier, life saving, and ambush technique.

If I'm way off the mark I am not opposed to correcting it I'll just have to figure out what to shuffle around.
>>
>>93984385
>in a couple centuries/millennia
talentless fodder
>>
>>93984385
So, like... He has a supporting technique that modifies the basic elemental manipulation of Qi Gathering cultivation by improving his element?
>>
I'm unhappy with my build, so I'm considering either just mechanically remaking it or making a new one altogether which I probably won't be happy with either.
>>
>>93984708
which build
>>
>>93984708
same, kinda, but I'll just grind at it until I'm satisfied
>>
>>93984656
Ah yeah, the cultivation technique he has gathers the Qi and the supporting one allows him to give it an esoteric extra attribute I guess?
>>
>>93984743
Batudai. I just feel like I completely missed the vibe with the techniques, and that with what I made, Inherited Wisdom might be closer to expressing it. Like they are way too mundane for grade 10s (but my autism also rebels against me leaving the techniques unupgraded) and that what was described could pretty much just be done without them, with the exception of Stealth which could be turned into the Wisdom's special ability.
Also, I'm still unsure about the theme as a whole.
>>
>>93984814
I don't think his techniques are that bad, I think I did far worse with my own, and I thought a dedicated assassin dude was neat.
>>
>>93984385
Well, a good amount of that is a bit wrong.
>>Improving some facet of the user in a qualitative way
It actually says quantitative. Supporting doesn't do qualitative.
>>In a sense these techniques are a multiplier to allow the user to specialise in something helping them triumph over peers.
That didn't help him specialize in something, that's something completely new. Supporting helps something you already knew how to do.
Also, the idea that a Qi Gathering (which is actually qualitative) technique would give a direct combat benefit seems a bit...
shaky.
You can just keep the technique as is, just change it to Other since I don't see how it can possibly fit anything else.
>>
>>93984625
You've got to see things from Tainbros POV. His techniques are almost all immortal tier and he is creating new ones them in mere centuries!
>>
>>93984906
I think the issue arose when I kept seeing the techniques of others, and tried to think what a grade 10 technique should be like, and came to a conclusion "something that a god would use", since they are grade 10; on lower grades you wouldn't be able to use them fully, but the core concept should remain the same, I think. Looking at mine, most of them don't seem even close. Hence, I think I screwed up. I don't hate the assassin idea itself, but I don't think I executed it well.

>>93984968
>It actually says quantitative. Supporting doesn't do qualitative.
MY SHAME
>Do something new
I saw it more as enhancing his already pure/tranquil Qi from his spirit root into something the next level up. But if it don't fit, then it don't fit.
>Change to other
Probably will have to do this since I misread the supporting block.
>>93985157
Lmao thanks for the glazing
>>93985261
Imo he is fine but if you aren't happy Id redo him. I did with Tian because of a small thing that felt off, it's not like you can't return him to the first version if you like it more.
>>
>>93985472
Hmm... I'm willing to either compile or threadslave, but for some reason I don't want to do both...

Tainsisters, just wanted to tell you that you CAN'T have sex with your HERO because I am already doing that.

>>93985813
I'm already having sex with Yunny, so you can have him.

Nope, I took his virginity too. All hot KTH men you wanna bang? Belong to ME.
>>
>>93985799
nta, but I think a supporting technique that improves your Qi makes sense. The thing you can already do is manipulate your spirit root element, and your technique is improving that, so it's not a new ability. Just an improvement of an old ability.

They have already been shipped together. What did you think they meant by being 'sword' cultivators who have a 'sword' Tao
>>
>>93985896
>ywn be part of the sword tao polycule
how do i recover...
>>
Yunyun is EXCLUSIVELY built for Big Tain Cock (BTC)
All swordfiends are SLUTS
Buck Breaking is canon to KTH
>>
>>93985928
Pretty easy, actually.

>Step 1
Make friends with a black smith profession cultivator
>Step 2
Gather a bunch of materials and stuff to make a sword
>Step 3 (very important)
Somehow talk your blacksmith friend into using your soul for the treasure spirit

Now you're a swordfu too and can enter into the sword tao polycule.

why does xianxia always attract yaaoifags?

That's just a combo of Yunyunanon projecting his fantasies of sticking his big sword into other men and swordfus falseflagging to make homos bad so they can get all the men for themselves.
>>

I have played no part this thisthough I am a Tianbro and will hype him with my last breath
>>
>>93983095
>No clue what that taste is.
It was clearly a kind Sword Mommy.
Yunny clearly has a boner for Zhimin.
Ageratum is sexually frustrated because of Elders looking down on him, but folds to compliments.
Unfortunately, the Young Master gets the Sword Mommy in the end, Cultivator.

>Feels like a lot to work with if the space is used frugally.
That's more or less what I'm getting at, actually. Font size, how much space is devoted it images, how fancy you get with frames and borders, how much space is just left completely open, etc. Basically even with the same amount of choices and text, page counts vary based on visual design choices.

MHA is a good example of a CYOA that's very liberal with it's space. Lots of open space, a fair amount of images. I think it tends towards a larger font size too. This isn't a bad thing by the way. It's more work for the author, but that style leans more into the fact that CYOAs are a fusion of writing and image editing. The fact that we've gravitated towards CYOAs instead of pure text PDFs should show that there's some benefit to not simply cramming as much text on a page as possible.

>How would you add that?
Honestly no clue. If I had a concrete plan, I'd probably be focused on turning it into OC, kek. I just couldn't think of any other broad concepts to add. Things that pertain to the character itself are pretty much covered, I feel, so my logic was that if there's any unexplored territory then it needs to be outside of the character themselves.

Tying in to official positions like magistrates isn't a bad idea at all. In general it'd probably be background customization mixed with a small setting- if the builds must create their background and must be from the same city as the setting, it forces them to flesh out the city through their choices... Is the theory.

>ultra xianxia setting
Feels like it'd run into Overlord syndrome where there's no challenges left. An ancestor focused scenario would need the most planning.

>I guess it'll stay here then?
I don't mind either, honestly. I just have a habit of maintaining the status quo. I guess to be fair, we run out of topics fairly quick, so a slow but steady trickle of discourse might be a good fit? Not sure.
>>
>>93986632
This sounds like you finding what you seek out.

>>93987434
I'm not ashamed nor am I apologizing.
