>>96731336Is it actually possible to diablerize the 3rd gen after you've somehow eaten your sire?

>>96731371Why can't they be picked anyway? Are they all dead?
>>96731070There's no guarantee you'll be able to awaken, just take what you have instead of hoping for better rng
>>96731414
>>96731420Pretty sure the last guy who tried that got taken over by the 3rd gen he diablerized
>>96731430
>>96731336How tf do you get Bardo at Ancient rank? or any Obscure Discipline for that matter?
>>96731451Buy it???
>>96731451Do you really need it at Ancient rank out the gate?
>>96731429NTA but from a lore perspective the transition from Vampire to Mage isn't as far fetched as you'd think. The journey of self-mastery you undertake in Cursed No More would probably leave "enlightened" enough to awaken as a Mage, by turning your Beast into your an Avatar. Remember that every human has the "spark" of a mage, which is why their collective unconscious is so powerful.
>>96731463Oh my bad I'm blind.>>96731465Yes, I need at LEAST one at ancient rank to insure my safety.
>>96731451Get an Affinity for it from your clan and train, have someone with Ancient in it train you, take the Forbidden Tome and learn from it, taking Knowledgeable for you Sire might allow them to train you to Ancient level, and maybe Path to Golconda's Equilibrium (I don't know if it allow you to train without a guide like an Affinity, it might just unlock every disciplines and you still need a guide to get better).All the training requires you unlock the obscure discipline first.
>>96731420They're all unstoppable, alien blood gods who all have apocalyptic designs for the world and insatiable thirst they can only fill with the blood of their childe. You're not supposed to interact with them, period. That being said, canon has some examples of them getting diablerized.>Troile diablerized Brujah successfully and seemingly had no issues, but this story is blurry>Tremere diablerized Saulot, but Saulot planned this out in the first place and engaged in a battle of wills with him, turning their physical body into a worm and essentially getting stuck in immobile form for hundreds of years>Giovanni concretely was able to lower his generation after diablerizing Cappadocius, but he failed to eat his soul, so he didn't get any of his power. He's basically a Methuselah with a higher power ceiling, and he canonically gets mocked for fucking up, even by his clan, who call him "Uncle Angie".Basically, if you wanna diablerize one, you need to be extra prepared and ready for whatever bullshit they're gonna pull out.
>>96731566>turning their physical body into a wormWould you still love your sire if she was a worm?
>>96731566>insatiable thirst they can only fill with the blood of their childeWhy don't they just learn Bardo? Are they stupid?
>>96731571>stillNever did.
>>96731576Shut the fuck up Absimiliard you vain bastard. You literally ruined EVERYTHING because you got one tiny scar on your face.
>>96731513There's no character with ancient rank Bardo tho?
>>96731584>or any Obscure Discipline for that matter?
>>96731584Where is it stated they need Ancient?

Fre advanced cloaking tech AND free scientist that meddles with things he should not? Hell yeah. Skir 4 War 7 Dog 1 Fleet 10 Intel 8 Esp 1 Inter 4 Supp 6 Mor 2 Trust 4 Generic 4 - Honestly all 4 of these generic points should probably go into dogfighting. Having dogfighting be at 1 in space is a recipe for disaster. A pretty solid company expanding it's way into becoming a nation with an ever travelling capital city while doing cape type monstrous research to enhance our soldiers.
>>96731962>Maiar and ValarWhy though? They're basically "I win" options. You can make a Melkor-aligned Valar with Spirit 3, get a bunch of songs and rape everything to death.

>>96732030You do know Eru is watching yeah, and he only loves humans.
>>96732062Eru is JNPL, except that rather than ascension, he wants descension.
>>96732062Eru doesn't do shit unless he's being fucked with directly, and he banks on the free races to defeat evil. Sauron could've won legitimately, but his rule probably wouldn't last, and he would definitely try to fuck with Valinor.
>>96731808Nowhere I just think it make sense that they need to be at that level if you want to be teach to that level, so I put it in my answer(>>96731513).
>>96732042You do realize Valar cant interact at all with middle earth right?

>>96732256>Implying I'd let you
>>96732276i'm not taking multiplayer you fag
>>96732164The best option freedom-wise would be playing a Numenorean with a Ring of Power. You'd be an aryan gigachad amongst jobbers, and the Ring would make you into an immortal wraith with cool powers. No obligations and no getting stuck in a spirit world after your death like with the Elves.

>>96732042No purifications?
>>96731962In the alignment section can you take both the minor and greater purification/corruption of a choice? Are they exclusive? Do the Greater versions entail the minor versions?

I will create the empire of rape and will industrialise sexual abuse. I will rape >>96732042with my bare hands. I will rape until Arda is undone. Rape. Rape.
>>96732313>>96732435...Your Corruption and lack of Concealment will be your downfall.>>96732424No purifications.>In the Alignment section, the Purifications and Corruptions represent fundamental changes in your character that cannot be avoided through loopholes. For example, if you take the Minor Charity Purification requiring you to give 10% of your wealth to charity each year, you cannot then give all of your money to your best friend and claim poverty. Instead, you become the type of person that eagerly wants to give 10% to charity and will do your best to make sure that it happens. The same is true for Corruptions with the Minor Greed Corruption making you want to cheat others and giving you enjoyment when doing so. Corruptions do not directly put you under the control of the Dark Lord, but you will act in a way that aligns with his plans more often and you will find his offers more appealing.
>>96732030You do realize that not only do Valar lose their powers as they use it, they can get fucked by sufficiently epic mortals? When an Elf kill a Balrog, it's an Elf killing a Maia that has used all their power into their body and has survived multiple inter-Ainur conflicts. Feanor resisted Melkor's charisma and Fingolfin maimed Melkor.>>96732164No, they just can't rule or injure Children of illuvitar. Well, they can, but that's a good way to get fucked by the other Valar or to be fated to end like Melkor.But minions of Morgoth like Spiders, Werewolves, Orcs and Dragons don't count, so you can go all out on them. Another problem is that Valar can't do precision work, so they tend to sink continents and shatter mountains, when they only wanted to smash a fucking dragon.
>>96732469Where's ego death anon?
>>96732469>concealmentI'm the strongest. I don't need to hide like a goddamn jobber. I took Song of Hunting just so I could find and kill those RATS
>>96732469Anon, these two rival your build in enhancements, and one of them has the ring and a desire to violate your anal cavity. I don't think you're making it out.
>>96732477What about Maiar? Do they lose their magic powers too? Can you potentially live forever as one and fuck off to do your own thing?
Is RoP worth taking? Might addSplit mind + smith (greater) + RoP to my build.I feel like Two Lamps or the Saplings should be more powerful than a ring of power though?
>>96732477>You do realize that not only do Valar lose their powers as they use itTheir power gets dispersed into creation, and they naturally grow weaker with time because all the magical shit in the world fades. Melkor poured his energy into the physical world to control it and made him weak, but some Elves theorized that he could've renewed his energies over time.Really, you're kinda fucked if you seek immortality in LOTR. Middle Earth is destined to lose all of it's magic.
>>96731962>powerless midget kills satanShit setting.
>>96732557The CYOA and author say that it grants you enhancements based on your race, and gives you an immense lifespan if you don't get immortality from it. Humans would be able to transform into Wraiths, like in Shadow of War
Can any Tolkien buffs tell me what kind of fun activities I can do in Middle Earth? Aside from the movies I watched as a kid I don't know much about the lore and setting. I'm also not interested in going to war or ruling.
>>96732515>What about Maiar? Do they lose their magic powers too?Yep, Sauron and Sauronsman both got nerfed heavily, they died as jobbers set up to strengthen mortal souls.
>>96732570I feel like you could do some corruption bullshit with the two trees to suck magic back out of creation and into the water/fruits.
>>96732629>I'm also not interested in going to war or ruling.This is basically the entire appeal of fantasy settings that don't have crazy magical shit in your face 24/7.
>>96732649>Yeah bro just sit in a chair forever or until you die bro.>Yeah bro just send men to die so you could get more meaningless glory bro.Well that's fucking boring.
>>96732629KILL THE GODS
>>96732678Some people enjoy the fighting, anon.
>>96732689And some people enjoy imagining having sex for the first time, hence the popularity of waifu cyoas.
>>96732707Don't call them out like that.
>>96732649These fantasy settings just suck at making up cool shit that's not blatant magic. Some Sci-fi is infinitely more interesting because it's written by an autist telling you cool science shit.
>>96732726>Some Sci-fi is infinitely more interesting because it's written by an autist telling you cool science shit.>autist loredumping on you is more interesting than personal powerboring
>>96732750Nigga, that lore IS power. Learn quantum physics and you'll be a god.
>>96732515Technically, Valar and Maiar can live forever as long as they stay in Valinor doing basic shit. But the One Ring of Sauron was made to stop his diminishment. And it worked. If he had taken back the One Ring at the end of the Third Age, he would have been just as powerful as he was when he lost it at the end of the Second Age.Also, the most common way for Maiar to lose their powers is to invest it into strong bodies beyond the abilities of mortals (Balrogs) and get killed.>>96732557The Two Lamps and Saplings have few benefits, except maybe for Elves, as the Light would enhance them enough to die killing a Balrog instead of getting massacred by the dozens.A Ring of Power would allow to revive after the Balrog is finished. Or >>96732633Days Before Days: Participate in the creation of reality. Also, epic battles against Melkor/Morgoth when the Valar could go all out without risking mortal lives (basically God of War 3)Years of the Tree: as an Elf, flee westward as Melkor/Morgoth wants to torture your entire species into Orcs, then spend centuries getting better at whatever craft you like until Melkor ruins it all. As a Vala/Maia, run eastward to save the elves from Melkor, ending in the battle of Utumno (imagine an inversed Minas Tirith going into the ground, and the bad guys live there)First Age: Mostly elves killing each other, getting killed by Melkor's minions and sometimes foiling Melkor's plans. All this shit is because an elf made the most beautiful jewels in existence and except the Valar, everyone wants them. It all ends with the War of Wrath, an army of Valar, Maiar and Elves exterminating an army of Orcs, Trolls and Dragons so hard the entire continent sunk into the sea.Second Age: just watch the Rings of Powers, or read the summary. It's basically Sauron manipulating everyone, getting wrecked, surviving and rebuilding, thrice.
you fags have consoomed too much low IQ power fantasy sloppa and it has ruined your ability enjoy anything remotely subtle

My contacts have turned out to be mostly elders, those who secretly contacted me afterwards to perform tasks for them in exchange for reward. A seedy establishment to call my own, a far-off stronghold in the mountains, the ancient skull of a Gangrel methuselah and more make up the rest of my inheritance.>Power Projection: 21 Favor, 21 Fame, 5 Notoriety, 1 Wealth.>Chronicles:The Massacre of The Blue Flamingo (Spare Them)A Summoning Most Foul (Grasp The Power)The Heist (Sell It)The Thing In The Woods (Turn To Leave)Trapped In Time (Stroke The Brush)Shades In The Night (New Friends)Tying Up Loose Ends (Mercy In The Wake)A Disappearing Act (Save The Sheep)Sire’s Character & Introductions>Sire Traits & Personality:Preferred Sex [+1 Favor]Influential [+3 Fame]Gregarious (Upgraded) [+2 Favor, +5 Fame]Envious (Quietus) [-1 Favour]Possessive Protectiveness [+3 Favor]Sire's Character>Behind The Curtains [+1 Hook]:Loving Embrace (Upgraded) [+10 Favor, -8 Fame]Power Play [+5 Favor, +5 Fame]Mark Of The Hunter [+2 Favor, +1 Fame]Turf Wars [+2 Favor]>Relationship Goals: Indeterminant>Attitude: Affectionate [+7 Favor, +1 Dark Gift]>First Impressions: Klutz [+5 Favor, +5 Fame]>Sire’s Attributes:BodyUpgraded MindUpgraded Social [Free]Upgraded Appearance>Sire’s Abilities:AthleticsAwarenessEmpathyLeadershipEtiquetteMeleeStealthInvestigationSubterfuge [Free]Alertness [Free]Expression [Free]

Millennia old and her blood gifted by Haqim himself, she ranks among those hallowed blood gods. Her feat of so thoroughly becoming beloved by the Kindred of this place is all the more terrifying for it. Why she has embraced me is a mystery, as is her obsessive and possessive nature. Why she is not already Prince of this city is another such mystery, though it likely has to do with the plays for power I have only inklings of. In her haste to do so, she even alerted hunters and and took me through conflict. While she heaps affection upon me, and I have promised to return them, my concerns make any long-term plans difficult. It is hard to say whether I am simply some new bauble to be admired and then discarded. Sire is an obsessively protective 4th Generation Methuselah: there’s very little danger I would face unless I got myself in a stupid situation. They’re also an influential and beloved member of the local community, so I can benefit from that as well. While the embrace was out of love, they do seem to have plans for me. I essentially have five clan disciplines, all for the low price of not having a reflection, tasty blood & a more primal Beast. Character is almost purely combat-specced, contrasting a highly-social sire. Brawl + Protean Claws + Quietus Poison is a fun combo; Potence + Fortitude + Obfuscate on top of that means there’s some staying power and a way to get the jump on others. Sire should take care of all the social aspects, since I won't be too great with that at the moment, and I can focus on surviving my first nights.
>>96732573Genuinely brainrotted by power scaling. The whole point of LOTR and Hobbit is that ordinary, normal people are who truly save the world.

>>96731336Alas for the end of daypire, but this perhaps-less-silly one will have to do, though given how choices naturally jump between characteristics of the sire and of the self for it I'm not sure how I ought to lay it all out.

Nevertheless, fairly sturdy against injury or manipulation, and I have some decent capacity for physical action and general awareness of my surroundings. Obeah also grants me a bit of my most-favored capacity, that being to heal others. Though the blood cost of that is far from insignificant. Presence should help me to deal with my consent curse; although outright mental domination seems like it wound sensibly be a violation of consent, supernatural charm isn't quite the same thing.Attributes 2, can upgrade 1>Free Appearance (Upgraded)>Social>Body Abilities:>Drive>Empathy>Awareness>Expression [Appearance]>Firearms [Body]>Subterfuge [Social]>Etiquette [from Sire]Principally focused here on social skills rather than combat, which again might be foolish, but here we are.

>>96732864To be fair, anon, dying as a human/hobbit in LoTR just means you get to go meet Eru and live with him earlier. Humans are also explicitly granted the privilege of joining in to sing with the Valar and Maiar in creation of the next world in their image, which will be a perfect paradise. The most the elves can hope for is that Eru will let them live in that paradise too instead of dying with Arda.

Although since I'm Salubri, I'm not sure there IS a clan primogen to get a major boon on.Haven't 'spent' the blood for these, would probably go towards celerity and presence.And that is that, seems like a relatively decent foundation for things. Right?
>>96732971>dying as a human/hobbit in LoTR just means you get to go meet Eru and live with him earlierWhy doesn't they all just kill themselves immediately then?
>>96732961What makes longevity better than conditional immortality?>>96732935Personally, I'd seek a way to erase my memories if I got too bored. If the immortality doesn't allow even that then it's a true curse.
>>96732971>To be fair, anon, (cope)Imagine falling for religion even in your fantasies, cuck. I'm not going to pretend to be at someone's nonexistent mercy.
>>96732977For one, Men (that includes their spinoffs like Hobbits) were beguiled by Morgoth in the beginning, and so are tainted by the fear of death. For two, not everyone knows this, this is knowledge the Elves got from the Valar, the Valar hate humans and don't interact with them, and the Elves all fled West or faded into spirits after the Third Age. And finally, suicide is a sin, and remember this is a Christian fanfiction setting. Tolkien believed ALL souls will be saved eventually, but that does still mean there's a purgatory (The Halls of Mandos) if you were sinful.
>>96732991>ALL souls will be saved eventuallyWhat about the elf souls?
Just read your build.Sorry to say, it's shit. Do better next time.
>>96733007>>96732971>The most the elves can hope for is that Eru will let them live in that paradise too instead of dying with Arda.Elves have no idea what will happen to them after Arda ends. They only have estell, hope and faith, that Eru has plans for them afterwards.
>>96733011Well, darn. Thanks, though, I'll do that.

>>96733323V3 never ever
>>96733335That's fair. Altho one of the characters is introduced as a strong predatory animal and latter revealed to be fully sapient but just standoffish without a way of being able to verbally communicate. So I guess the sapience of the random fauna could be up for debate.It would be like fucking someone from an uncontacted and isolated tribe that had no comprehension of what we were, where we came from or how to even communicate with us.>>96733348It hurts bro. .

>>96731336>>96729602Thanks for the clarification, Sylen! Now that I've looked over the rest of the cyoa I'll make my build (>>96728266).>>96728297>decision paralysis thinking about different routesHonestly the only downside of rolling is that it can make it hard for to create a solidly thematic build and often gives you fairly diverging paths you can take without being able to commit to all of them.>>96731962Man, I've really been in the mood for some LotR's media. But the thing is I just kinda wanna be some guy going on an adventure with some friends.Kind of like 'Small Town Hero' but LotR's flavored.I hate that the only LotR's vidya we'll ever get will have us be someone super important and badass doing major, setting critical stuff.Maybe I should give the MMO a try (I really don't like MMO's) or just download that one M&B mod again.Anyway this has been a good week for new OC.

This world belongs to Men.
>>96733007Elves don’t have souls, silly.
>>96733667This implies she would be fine with giving anon a footjob when she's older.
>>96733676None of you are real men.
You now remember that Italics is till being held hostage by Elves.
>>96731336Anything stopping you from taking Ancient level Discipline without being a Gen7 and below ?
>>96733796I am the immortal around and I spend my days raping lolis - by cyoag's standard I'm the realest man around.
>>96733829No. Technically lore-breaking, but Sylen said it was fine.
>>96731391So if your sire is with the Sabbat and you take Illegal Embrace do you take -20 Fame and +1 Favor or just the +1 Favor?
>>96733904Just the +1 Favor
>>96733829Generation mostly concerns itself with Blood Pool and how much Vitae you can concentrate for your Disciplines.
>>96731336Can someone that know the setting tell me what I can expect of Ancient Animalism ability to siphon powers ?
>>96733949Drink blood from a bear and you literally become as strong as one. Heat vision from snakes etc. You take the abilities of the given animal and so on.
>>96733972Does it work on supernatural creature ?

But of course, realistically, she's still more adept than I am in matters of physical conflict, unless what's needed is simple brute force.(I tried to have her draw her gun in a blur of motion, to demonstrate great celerity, but alas for it did have any noticeable effect.)

>Luminary-1 is forgotten>Luminary-2 is Italics, so never ever>Luminary-3 is Husanon and he disappeared>Luminary-4 is a magical girl oneWhat's next?
>>96734612Nobody, the cyoa nobody plays.
>>96734612>Husanon and he disappearedWasn't he just here a couple days ago?
>>96734612>What's next?Tankista scrapped the idea before starting it.>>Did your backburner also have a CYOA titled 'Luminary'?>I thought it would be funny to name one of my future CYOAs that way, but considering the time it takes to make the stuff, the joke will be already dead and forgotten. Currently I have no Luminary CYOAs.
>>96734612>Only the magical girl one was completedthe TRUE Luminary
>>96734644>doesn't remember Lum-1Truly forgotten...
>>96734612It's cursed. I await the authors reporting that ever since they started writing "that" cyoa. Their dog died, they lost their job, they got canceraids, they got deported to Venezuela, etc.
>>96734646If it were good, people would post it and it wouldn't be forgotten
>>96734651>EA start to write Luminary>wife has a miscarriage
>>96734651
Wanna hear something funny? I had cyoa in the works called Luminary. Which was basically about having swords with super powers and being able to forge new ones. It was heavily inspired by the zanpakutos from bleach. I gave up on it after husanon released his, but I guess I will be fine if I just change the name.
>>96734410>spreading lies on the internet
>>96734612>>Luminary-3 is Husanon and he disappearedI'm here thought?
>>96734805>ThoughtI would never
>>96734805Your Luminary isn't THOUGH.
>>96732943What program do you use to make these?
>>96734591thanks
>>96734812oops...>>96734816It will one day...

>>96734821>What program do you use to make these?Original images were made with midjourney, animated with a local instance of wan 2.2 image-to-video.
>>96734899any cyoa where you don't pick the immortality option
>>96734899the jujutsu kaisen cyoa that doesn't let you get any cursed technique gives me very "fuck it, we ball" vibes

>>96731336>Whisper of the Ages>2 points in exchange for 2 tiers of cursesThis is so unbelievably trash.
>>96735176Well, and both access/affinity to a particular discipline. The former is worth, theoretically, a hook (or a portion thereof), what you pay to unlock a discipline from a contact, and the latter is worth up to 3 more blood, for the discount in buying ancilla/elder/ancient levels.Still, it is a bit dubious, ironically only someone who already has a great surfeit of blood is likely find it advantageous.
>>96734897Magi Case released after a 10 Year Timeskip. TRUST THE PLAN.
>>96734775Don't change the name. Make Luminary 5.>CAPTCHA: KOT
>>96735176Yeah I think it gets completely blown out of the water by Accursed Wretch. Almost the exact same drawback, as I don't think people would spec into two curses since getting a huge vulnerability from a field that you didn't have before is much greater than upgrading that vulnerability to be devastating, and you get an Affinity in a Rare Discipline so your growth is way faster and in a section with Disciplines that offer a huge variety of skills in each one.
>>96735176You're mistaken. You don't just gain 2 points, you gain affinity. It's like having an extra clan discipline. This is in exchange for curses, not a bane. Think of them as negative merits. It's not that big of a deal to have day sleep tier 2 or whatnot in exchange.
>>96731962>>96733435After taking a look at this it really can hit that 'Small Town Hero' sort of 'power level'. Really cozy.The idea behind the build is that of a down on his luck vagabond that usually makes as a guide, messenger, scout or otherwise lives off the land. Spent a prolonged amount of time around the Shire where he met the Hobbits and ended up meeting Eadria and Dia for work in a tavern one night after hearing that they were looking for someone to that knew the land.Purification of Eru:>Humility, Minor (+3)>Charity, Minor (+3)>Chastity, Minor (+3)>Kindness, Minor (+3)>Diligence, Minor (+3)Race: Human (Númenórean, -4)Songs of Power:>Song of Strength (-5)Enhancements:>Strength, Tier 1 (-2)>Dexterity, Tier 1 (-2)>Spirit, Tier 2 (-5)>Endurance, Tier 1 (-2)>Luck, Tier 2 (-5)Era: The Third Age (early)Origin: CommonerSkills:>Ranger, Minor (-2)>Rider, Minor (-2)>Healer, Minor (-2)>Gardener, Minor (-2)Companions: (-19)>Billibald Boffin>May Bracegirdle>Dia Stoneshod>Eadria>OlranWealth: Indebted (+3)Mundane Items:>Simple Gear (wilderness survival)>Horse>Simple Weapon (bow) (-1)Drawbacks:>I'm going on an Adventure, Minor (+10)>Don't you leave him!

>>96734612If you are unsure of who is going to win. You can always bet on Italics.
>>96735334The never ever author? The "got a cold, CYOA delayed for three months" author? The ADHD "but what if I started a 25th project" author?

>>96731962This CYOA is an outrageous misinterpretation and a fundamental twisting of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

>>96731962Humans are automatically the optimal choice because only they go to heaven
>>96736047Tolkiens books are 95% smoking weed and rambling about life and how its better to just sit around bumming all day and having a great time smoking LOTS of fucking weed and being a hobo etc etc etc and then 5% yapping about this great gigachad warrior whose going to megablast that dark army over there.Anon is mad that the CYOA concerns itself with that 5% only
