Updated to v2.1, increased number of blessings/treasures, I didn't realize that was such as issue.

OC OC OCI WANT OCGIVE ME OC
>>96771697It's not yet 17 for me.
>>96771530Again, I love how Rake writes powers and perks and such. I like the genre blending. It drives me nuts that there's like twenty options and two choices. Truly, so many options seem so fucking good
>>96771697I do wonder if the OC really will be what it's supposed to be. I have a feeling we will get OC but it will not be something expected.Speaking of, surinical disappeared for a while.
>>96771573Still haven't fixed the extreme imbalance of these I see. Do you just love two or three of them and hate the others? Emperor and legacy have to be picked in every build and you couldn't stand it if they weren't?
>>96771697It's still cooking, you'll get it in like 20 hours
>>96771718He will come back with a 10+ science fantasy OC with french unicorns. He told me.
>>96771731french unicorns? are they so gay they cause an overflow error and become straight again?
>>96771740Unicorns aren't gay by default. Some of them were rightly feared as creatures of rape and malice in mythology. I won't stand for this slander.
>>96771761Those are the Bicorns, corrupted Unicorns.
>>96771728>Emperor and legacy have to be picked in every build and you couldn't stand it if they weren't?I tried making them as equal as possible, while still being fun to read/pick. If they aren't it's because I'm not great at balancing or writing these, not because I'm making pet options. My favourite was the Mentor Ring and it was one of the least picked :(
>>96771770BLACKEDcorns...
>>96771728Yeah Lost Legacy is so busted. Lot of the Grand Inheritances just feel kinda eh compared to the regular blessings giving smaller versions of their benefits, and some of those blessings also being completely unique effects you can't get anywhere else. The entire section just feels like a upgraded items section mostly instead of a pivotal choice that your build's archetype is hinged on.I mean not only does Lost Legacy give you all the materials you'd ever need setting you up for multiple lifetimes and being an amazing base, it also features a Hyperbolic Time Chamber that's useful to literally every cultivator because it gives you more time to cultivate. Not to mention how it's even better for Alchemists for farming, and it gives Two Blessings or Treasures on top of that as well.I personally don't even think any other inheritance comes close to how broad and effective its benefits are. Even Heavenly Conqueror can be ignored if you just don't feel like you want a third method despite its power and how quickly you'll advance through the ranks in easy mode.
>>96771782It should be noted that every GI is explicitly stated to be useful up to the peak of your cultivation. Everything should be viewed in that light.
>>96771803
>>96771812
>>96771817
>>96771823
>>96771831
>>96771836
>>96771845
>>96771788Yeah but a lot of them are kinda whatever even seeing it that way. Like that Mentor Ring for example is competing against Perfect Guardian, except Guardian can defend you and boosts your cultivation methods while Mentor is stuck in the ring and provides guidance and teaches you synergistic methods. They're overlapping a lot despite their majorly different styles of how they help. Primordial Essence also isn't all that impressive since there's no real measure on how strong it is other then presumably being stronger than Imperial Ancestry. I am taking light of the benefits but when there's something that provides a similar benefit, even if its super watered down, it devalues the other option since I can basically get a similar effect for cheaper even if I take a hit to potency.The only ones that truly feel like Grand Inheritances are Dharma Weapon, Lost Legacy, Heavenly Conqueror, Oversoul, Void Body, All-Consuming Devourer Physique, and Unbound Casuality. All of them provide options that can't be easily recreated through other options or doesn't just seem like some niche souped up sidegrade.
>>96771850
>>96771857
>>96771728>>96771782>>96771855how are you still whining? you got everything you wanted in the update
>Friday, 17Pay up.
>>96771863
>>96771855I should state however, I love the update. I thought the original version was lacking and the amount of choices that exist now is very nice. Grand Inheritances are just the weakpoint in my eyes because there's so many other avenues of power to explore, but the tradeoff of having so many good items and blessings to slap together onto a build is well worth it.
>>96771871
>>96771772They're like multiple things at once while some of the other choices are like zero things at once. Conqueror without the extra method would still be far stronger than some of the other options like karma. Lost legacy isn't as extreme as it was in the previous version, but about the same still goes for it as well.
>>96771876
>>96771870It's the middle of the night for burgers. Be patient.
>>96771868Well, didn't mean to bitch. I'm just very long-winded which makes it seem like I'm more passionate about it then I actually intend to come across as. I did get everything I wanted this update, I'm happy just stacking on drawbacks because there's so many options I want to choose. More dangerous tribulations, bring it on. Fortune favours the bold. Plus the hotfix of adding more options to the list is neat, didn't really think we needed more blessings handed out but I'm not going to turn it out.I do think the discrepency between how strong certain Grand Inheritances is a bit of an issue, and although I don't agree with the other statements from the dude I can definitely agree on that front. It's pretty easy to just aim myself to the few strong options there instead of deliberating on all the choices and balancing their pros vs the opportunity cost when I can see at a glance which are immediately going to be better.
>>96771868>you got everything>except the thing you wanted didn't change
>>96771895Cry me a river.
>>96771897>>96771868Stop whining.
>>96771868He wants the option removed from the CYOA. You know the type.
>>96771530Alright. Let's update the build of my tulpa bloodline clones and the little sect that consumes all parts of the body. Not the best formatted post ive made but oh well. It's mainly just updating the build. Akashic AscensionSkin Shedding ScriptTempestuous Rifts CodexBeing able to essentially design my own bloodline combination is pretty good. Being able to have clones is pretty good. Together it might allow me to be multiple bodies that bear different bloodline combinations to perfection. Or at worst use bloodlines with devastating drawbacks by preparing a number of bodies and switching once one is too damaged. Meanwhile Tempestuous Rifts is not only powerful, it helps bring delicious monsters for me to feast on right to me.Perfect Conduit, helps me strip away drawbacks that comes with taking the boons of others.Iron Will, willpower is the key to basically all of cultivation, not to mention experimenting on bodies you inhabit. Third Eye, information is power and this gives me plenty of it. Good for spotting delicious targets. Warhound, The cultivation world is not a kind place. Fighting ability is always a boon.Heaven Blessed, because luck will account for what planning can not.
>>96771928Pocket Dimension, Perhaps study of this dimension can help improve the world within and bring it to life. That aside, it is fantastic for storing various parts and corpses yet to be consumed.Hunting Rounds, and look, free corpses just coming at me. Spliced Tree, This can grow rare parts for me to drain for my bloodlines. Slower, but constant and easier than hunting a certain bloodline to extinction.Salubrious Tonic, And of course every cultivator needs a life saving relicMarket ticket, another way to obtain yummy corpses, and to make money selling corpses of my own.Extradimensional Library, Good for learning aux skills which are always usefulAll Consuming Devourer Physique, I already strip bloodlines, why not everything else as well?Heavenly Conquerer Foundation, a good foundation means everything for the future.Auxilliary Master, Good for making money and treasures. Hell, maybe I can cultivate a few of my clone bodies into the perfect pill cauldrons or living treasures. Alva the Necromancer, Another person who's powers society is probably unfavorable towards. Another person who gains from taking everything from the powerful. We have a lot in common, really. Who knows maybe my clones can possess some of her undead, or perhaps disguise them by acting as a shell.Alive the Mad, another whom society will likely shun. Still, the three of us perhaps work well together. Alice strips them of their power, I strip them of their heritage, and Alva strips them of their body. Hell, maybe I can just create multiple bodies for them to use in a pinch. Place of Power, a perfect place for our little group to cultivate, and those seeking to kick us out will only fuel our growth further.
>>96771932oops cut the post badly and now i need 3 posts.Incursion, a beast greater than what can be found is perfect fuel for our team.Pseudo-Fallen, perhaps I can tame it with my infinite will. And if I learn to excise the madness from myself, perhaps I can excise it from my companion as well.Valuable, once again, merely bait for more fodder to fuel our growths.Youthful, shouldn't be too debilitating, especially once I can modify my bodyFinger Licking Good, This just brings us more beasts to farmHero's Journey, ah so it goes. One must be tested by fate to best the heavens. Overall, not much change. Still shunned by society. But we grow much more than anyone else for every kill we manage. And in the end, the cultivation world is not a peaceful place. We'll likely start a sect focused on consuming the whole body of our kills and wasting nothing.
>>96771772I’ve said many times I think your writing is actually quite good. Whatever it is, your choices always hit me just right. Your problem, in my opinion, is intermixing hard mechanical benefits with options that are more flavorful or fun.
>>96771530>Blood-Stained Vermillion VersesThe madlad actually did it.
>>96771947For a second I thought this was a Tok build. Then I felt bad for instantly putting it down in my mind. Then I kept reading the options and honestly can't fucking tell. You let monsters loose on the world and gave them kingdoms so you can have better lays... god damn.
>>96771948>>96771772yeah, you really shouldn't allow interactions like when lost legacy goes into a different section of a cyoa and gives you benefits there, the benefits should all be self-containedif you want to head off some of these issues in another way, you could just explicitly say in the grand inheritance opening blurb that they're all equally valuable all else being equal, since right now a lot of people are treating one grand inheritance as a hundred times more valuable than another, a perception that is exacerbated by the aforementioned cross-section interactions
>>96771803How worthwhile is it to take Secret of the Spheres versus not spending the Wish of Destiny at all?
>>96771989the thing you should really feel bad about is letting tok live rent free in your head
>>96771948>>96772035See, I told you this guy just wants to remove every option he doesn't like.
>>96772042go home, anon, you're drunk
>>96772049Home is where the heart is. You're his home, /cyoag/.
>>96772052we don't stock alcohol though, he's clearly been wandering
>>96772057He found Tankista's stash.
>>96771544I see that shadow spirit still makes other methods shadowy. How does that work with prismatic radiance's daylight bonus? Shadows get stronger when the light is stronger, or does the bonus swap to while in darkness?
>>96772038I mean, his image build looks almost exactly like the Vampire build Tok posted last thread. It wasn't exactly a rent free moment as much as "did this guy seriously make another white haired pretty boy build back to back?">>96767841Just take a look and tell me at first glance it didn't look similar. Especially when the build took lovemaking and other options to focus on his lovers. It's only the actual writeups and the use of ai generated images that made me realize that they weren't.
>>96771803"Witcher" is such a dumb name. I can't imagine having any respect for a professional who calls himself "the Witcher". I'd always consider him a clown.
>>96772134He's more handsome and virile that you'll ever be.
>>96772141>and virileHe literally isn't by definition, he's sterile.
>>96772144no, he can still be more virile than you even while sterile
>>96772149Words have meanings, anon.
>>96772154i see that you can't bring yourself to deny it
>>96771530This is a very different CYOA than it was in the previous version, and oddly that's mostly because of the treasure section which is actually useful now.
>>96772036As I recall from inquiring last time, Secret of the Spheres is the huge ambiguous give-the-plot-a-whirl choice. So hard to compare 'beneficial,' very different considered purely in their own rights. On the other hand, the benefits of Control the Chaos are sufficient that I would think it somewhere between boring and foolish NOT to spend your wish of destiny.>>96772134>"Witcher" is such a dumb name.You'd probably just be accustomed to it if you grew up in the world.
>>96771530>Fated Shot and Machine Transcendence are still the bestMan feels good being a techchad
>>96772312Guns are gay.
>>96772322You must be a tsundere homosexual, then
>>96772322>t. lost the gun fight
>>96772329Nobody wants to penis fence with you, slug.
>>96772338You see swordplay in a strangely erotic light. Do you have something to confess?
>>96772344We're talking about guns, anon.
Another hour without OC. Why must you tease me so?
>>96771530>Methods: Prismatic Radiance Manuscript, Sword-Singing Sermon>Blessings: Weapon God Physique(sword), Third Eye, Iron Mind, Elemental Root(Light), Peerless Prodigy>Treasures: Training Array, Salubrious Tonic, Condensation Array>Grand Inheritances: Oversoul, Primordial Essence(Dragon), Dharma Weapon(Sword)>Companions: The Swordswoman, Yesod>Complications: Fated Nemesis(Akua), Incursion, Youthful, Incompetent, Empathetic, Venerable Character, Finger-Licking GoodVery, very dangerous choices here to afford most of what I wanted. Youthful especially is laughably dangerous with Incursion, but we start with getting Excalibur(which happens when Arthur is a boy), and his name is Arthur Pendragon(so everything draconic is a must-pick).
>>96772383Actually cool build. Nice work.

>>96772383Just re-read it, turns out I have room for two more blessings and treasures. Those would be Warhound, Right to Rule, Totem of Rebirth, and Power Concealer>>96772477Thanks.>>96772517That's a good idea in a practical sense, but I think it strays too much from the theme.
>>96771947Peak angel anon as always.

>>96772383Should take Karmic Alignment for flavour.
>>96772616>non-canon/alternate witcher worldThat's my interpretation as well, infinite multiverse and all that. Then again I am biased as someone who also took carnal companion.

>>96772603i wouldn't say it strays that much, just imagine a crystalline ice sword that's perfect for projecting light as well
>>96771530This update makes the cyoa feel watered down compared to before. I think it's mostly the combination of the expanded drawbacks list, which allows you to take much more permissive choices and gather more blessings, and the fact that some of the blessings and inheritances were basically split in two. I don't really like it. The new treasures, methods, and companions are all good additions though. I also like how there are more examples of the wider multiverse now. Before the cyoa's cosmology was this uninteresting gray blob, but now it has some color.
>>96772570it's useful, here's my build with it:>methods: heart-severing mantra verdant heartwood sheaves heavenly celestial scrolls>blessings: merchant's guile jade beauty decentralized organs third eye iron will protagonist aura seventh sense perfect conduit peerless prodigy>treasures: training array essence furnace spliced tree market ticket condensation array>grand inheritances: auxiliary master heavenly conqueror foundation lost legacy>companions: lyra hirak ajax>events: place of power unstable rifts wandering temple>complications: parasite fated nemesis deviated form incursion finger-licking good vengeful tribulations minotaur's lairthe combo of the market and spliced tree is so good you can't ever be without it, and the best place to stash your shit is in the lost legacy pocket dimension, so lost legacy still reigns supreme and stronger than any three other grand inheritances put togther

Friday 17th is here. As promised, here's my contribution for the OC challenge: Trashsword Compact, where (You) dig a sword out of a dumpster and wield it to kill demons. I had fun making this CYOA and doing it on a deadline was an interesting experience, although I'll admit this was a rush-job, the image quality is spotty and the only real criteria for balancing was my gut feeling on it. I hope you anons have fun with it. I've been excited to see the other challenge OCs since it was announced.
>>96772896The page sizes are asymmetrical. Again, I rushed in some ways with this. I might do an update sometime in the future, but this is more or less the release.
>>96772901Almost forgot to post the Imgchest>https://imgchest.com/p/o24a23rve7lThere's a weird glitch with a transparent line on the upper right page there, but I edited the 4chan version in MS paint and will be reuploading these there later.
>>96772904Lastly, the Mystery Box. I love mystery boxes so much, I wish more modern CYOAs did them, but I understand why a lot of anons dislike the unpredictability that I like them for.
>>96772896Thank you for the OC, Night Rider!

>>96773130My goal is to be an interdimensional trader to gain wealth and power without taking too much risks. Akashic Records grants the ability to protect the mind, make myself smarter, create illusions and mentally dominate creatures. Tempestuous Rift Codex allows you to teleport using rifts, summon creatures and eventually I plan to use this method to more easily travel other realms to conduct trade.Merchant's Guile, Communication Expert,Lowly Junior and Market Ticket will allow me the talent and connection to grow my wealth, eventually paying off even my debt to the grand bazaar. Lowly Junior ensures I don't provoke old monsters as long as I don't purposely go against them, giving me a degree of protection if I stay relatively low key and smart.For my personal talent, I plan to rely on a combination of my peerless prodigy and perfect conduit blessings to progress in cultivation. My auxiliary talent grand Inheritance will help tremendously here when combined with perfect conduit, as pills do not degrade in efficiency no matter how much I use them. This means with enough resources I can keep popping pills to reach the peak of cultivation. I can also use such talents to make more money if needed. Mentor Ring grants me a mentor that can teach me all I would need to survive the cultivation world, and with my communication expert blessing I hope to foster a good relationship with him. Void Body is a nice general counter to any esoteric powers I might face in the future.Of my drawbacks, Indebted can be dealth with using my money making talents, frog in a well partially alleviated by mentor ring. Finger Licking Good can even be used as money making strategy if I can use it smartly, trading some of my blood or something for valuable resources. Deviated Form can be dealth with using my auxiliary master talents later on. Fated Nemesis and Courting Death is not too bad to deal with, if I need to escape I can easily create rifts to teleport myself away.
>>96772896I honestly feel nowhere near as powerful enough to fight all these threats with the perks given. I will wait for the sword hobo to come, while talking with the sword, then when I get my lottery money I will use my resources to help him in any way I can. I will his help in linking up with the Black Mage. I can bankroll our efforts while possibly being taught magic by the Black Mage in exchange. Then when the Conjuction comes I will be ready and already a full fledged mage. For real though, I don't know how you're supposed to kill the stronger demons with just the options given. With the exception of DICK and Flash Step I feel totally underpowered.
>>96771584>Rachelam i thinking what you are thinking?
>>96771559Best element for Elementals Root ? Something like Fate or Fortune is an obvious choose for a xianxia but what else might be generally good ?
>>96773130Actually assume that this has the Incursion drawback as well instead, since I forgot you need to take one more complication mandatory. It appears later on and I think I can convince it better with my communication expert blessing or run away from it if needed.
Will Tok ever release something even half as good as Dragonfall ever again? I feel like he has already peaked, and now is just rapidly degrading into a washed up has been.
>>96771530New companions in my eyes.Kairos: could very well become a protagonist. Thankfully his description says he will develop an intense devotion.Hirak: good boyCassian: rape guy. I doubt someone would really pick him, he stops you from having women around you if its not for rape, can't be picked by women and his goals are angering people by just raping. Only if you are like him and want a partner in crime would you pick him.Mono: I am not a pet right? she is useful but her whole alien thing is weird. Not my cup of tea but I understand if someone picks her.Ajax: daughter. Must protect and make into a good person. Must tell her she should stay more or less in human form because my daughter is not becoming a dirty giant clunker.Yesod: sadly he won't become your friend. But he is your worker and a very useful one. He is one of the most useful ones.Catherine: she has kind of a demon inside. I wonder how powerful it is at its full power, because I can't see the demon being like stage 10. So she is kind of limited in future worlds if that demon is all she has. Althought I guess at some point she would kind of just kill the demon, take its full powers and grow like normal then. Waifu.Akua: its weird that her technique gives her super beauty but her image is... not beatiful. Maybe is mind control in the sense you see her as beatiful even if she isn't. Her method looks strong and useful, she having a cult adds manpower and her bad personality traits can be fixed with friendship.Rachel: her method makes her weak by herself, but she is probably the one that gets the biggest buff from protagonist aura, as every beast could awaken ancient Bloodlines, she gains benefits from them and then she gets something too from the aura. Total waifu.Dr Nalka (that should be Dra.): useful but... you become a rat lab and she won't really be loyal.Urul: spy xenophobic, can be "fixed". Not that useful but not hard to get along with.
>>96772312I got the sword physique, the sword method and the sword Dharma Weapon. My sword autism (thats how you know I am good) makes me better than you.
>>96772312Techfagging falls off after rank 10You're in a xianxia universe techcel
>>96771530Is it valid to just say deviated form forces me into my primordial essence altered appearance, without the option to go back to regular human? It feels more natural that way, and the functional parts of the appearance come from the bloodline anyway.
>>96771544I think it might be my innate biases and lack of investment in cultivation as a genre, but all the talk about hollowing yourself out, removing organs, and all that makes me uncomfortable. I understand that to transcend one must necessarily leave their humanity behind, but, despite being a lover of shadow magic, the idea of turning myself into nothing but a shadow feels wrong. You'd think Heart-Severing Mantra would fill this gap, but at the end of the day you become just one emotion.
The main issue with Xianxia is that eventually the powerlevel just gets into boring territory. The whole world ladder thing they have going on just make everything into increasing levels of bullshit. It's almost a shame. The CYOA itself is fun eventually I know my character will forced to ascend into a new world and be met with pure bullshit. I do like the power level in our planet though, it feels as good as it should.
>>96773436>Only if you are like him and want a partner in crime would you pick him.>not picking him as a woman for your fated nemesis
>>96771530>>96773185>>96773436>Rachel>Total waifu.....you just know
>>96773491I think that's the cooles shit actually. I also just realized the other day that you can remove your brain in chain of isekai with one of the starting options. It's fascinating. I wish it was possible for real.
>>96773497if your goal was to become a cumdumpster you could do it without him very easily. It's post apocalyptic earth with bandits. You just need to be a woman, have jade beauty and don't defend yourself.But if you are a normal person, yes, he is basically unpickable.
When I make a CYOA, I will include a spell that stealthily inserts into the target's head the thought: "Maybe power isn't the most important thing."I will call it Castration of Spirit.
>>96773502I know what you want to say. But hear me out. She is attractive, needs human interaction and is "feral". She would fuck you and break your hips. And then become your "mate" for life.
>>96773511>just be a cumdumpster for a bunch of irrelevant weaklings instead of having a cool nemesis story about getting raped by a super strong grug and then murdering him afterwards
>>96773491>anon skipped the part where you retain your humanity regardless of what cultivation technique you use
>>96773506CYOAs really highlight our differing values and philosophies. Wherever or whenever I may go, I don't wish to be anything other than me and, while I am rather attached to the physical shell, what bothers me most are options that necessitate a change in ethos. I tend to avoid choices that significantly alter your brain due to that alone, although admittedly I have a stubborn cope that I can power through presumed identity death.
>>96773491Pretty sure you don't stop being able to feel all your other emotions, you're only choosing one that empowers you more than others
>>96773527With Path of Metamorphosis I may retain some sense of "humanity" but I'm also gonna be some hyper-efficient meatblob
>>96773491Thankfully there are several methods that don't make that happen.
>>96773530I said brain, not mind. You keep your mind despite not having a brain. That's why it's cool. That's why shadow-spirit sutra is cool. You still see things in a slightly altered way despite removing your eyes. You don't need to poop anymore after removing your digestive tract but what kind of idiot wouldn't take that deal.

Why throw it away so soon?
>>96773537Pooping... is barely an annoyance. I think there are a lot of methods better.
>>96773537I like my stomach :(
>>96773542It's just a perk. I really like the theme and aesthetics of the method.>>96773543Fuck organs. Imagine if we were just undifferentiated meat sacks that still had all our capabilities and never produced waste. It would be awesome.
>>96772896Damn, nice broI'll hold off on making a build till I release my own in10 hours or soWell done.
>tfw the 10 stages in the cyoa are just qi gathering and after you're done with them you go to foundation establishment

>>96773546>Fuck organs. Imagine if we were just undifferentiated meat sacks that still had all our capabilities and never produced waste. It would be awesome.That would make fucking a woman less exciting. They would be... literal sacks of meat instead of a complex lifeform.
>>96773583No see, penis and vagina are capabilities that we keep.
>>96773561>Qi condensation already has you being able to live for multiple millennia and have a domainThe power scale in this universe is absolutely fucked
>>96773595that's normal
>>96773592That... goes against the method right?
>>96773604Nah, normally qi condensation shitters are lucky if they get more than 500 years
>>96773612In cultivation settings the top 1% are... fodder sub 3 stage.
>>96773525Faggot
>>96773609>reading comprehension of a lemur
>>96773609Nah, you get to reinstate the appearance of still having all the stuff you remove. Otherwise you'd just be incapable of interacting with anything after you've removed all parts of your body.
>>96773632The first stage is to literally replace all your internal organs. You would get shadow balls and shadow vagina.
>>96773645No YOU would get shadow balls, because that's what you deserve.
>>96773640Thats what you do at the end. You become intangible 24/7, becoming a "shadowy wraith" except when you want to be tangible, but I suppose that means your shadowy body can touch things for a time. Not that you go from shadow body to totally normal flesh body in a split of a second
>>96773645Shadow tentacles is a classic, but I think the concern should be less about your physicality and more about how your perspective changes as you transcend. Sure, you can easily use any Method to become a multi-functional sex beast, but would you WANT to past a certain point of cultivation?
>>96773659Not for a time. At will. There also isn't any mention of a long transition phase.
>>96773661Yes. Because you stay yourself despite your cultivation. It's one of the explicit benefits you get from the CYOA that sets you apart from most other cultivators.
>>96773661Bloodlines are a thing even for super cultivators and primordial beasts, so sex will always be a thing. The amount of importance depends on the person
>>96773661The homies chilling in the upper dimensions all have harems bigger than earth's population. So, yes.
>>96773667I am just saying that in your tangible form, you are still made of shadows, you are still the shadowy wrath, just touching the world. You don't go from shadow wrath to Bob, you just become able to touch
>>96773681No, you get a tangible form at will. Sure it's made of totally-not-qi instead of atoms and biology, but it functions as if it were made of atoms and biology.
>>96773685Nah, you are still shadow guy. The whole method is about removing every part of your body, flesh included. You don't go from shadow monster to normal looking person, it isn't say and doesn't make sense, you even retain some benefits while intangible.
>>96773681If you can see, taste and smell then it stands to reason that you can fuck too.
>>96773692It makes perfect sense, seeing how that's what the CYOA says.
>>96771530I have an idea for a build, and the fated shot doctrine has really good synergy with what I want, but I hate guns, and the storm one is too good to pass up.
>>96773695I don't think its a good comparison 3 senses vs biological reproduction. The 3 senses would imply you still have the other 2 senses, but not the ability to have sex.A better comparison would be if you are still able to eat and process the food.
>>96773711as >>96773673 already mentioned, you are arguing against genre conventions in the absence of clear evidence to their contrary
>>96773717Eh, the shadow method is special because its meant to be about removing all of your body to become a shadow version with esoteric abilities. Do you get shadow sperm?Another one would be the machine one, if you become 100% machine, do you think you can make metal sperm or something? The rest of methods don't have the perspective of removing your flesh and organs
What kind of Bloodlines do you envision for Primordial Essence? Obviously, we have a few potential examples in the companions section, but I'm interested to see what anons are coming up with. It reeks of Mary Sue, if I'm being honest, but it's a very cool idea if used properly
>>96773736Dragon, demon, angel, deva, ashura, mythological creatures like hydra, fenrir etc...
>>96773670Rake should remove that and make it a perk
>>96773728it's about removing parts of your body without losing functionality>Do you get shadow sperm?probably something like that yeah
>>96773736As opposed to the previous version it feels somewhat more restricted, befoere it was just a "powerful bloodlines" now it also has to be "primordial" so something related to creation myths and similar stuff. Related to xianxia I can only think of dragons right now, maybe tigers and phoenixes because of the whole 4 sacred beasts thing. If we expand the scope to other myths then we have more options and these >>96773743 do feel appropiate too.
>>96773772No he should not, the whole pooint of the cyoa is that you are special like that.

>>96773790>As opposed to the previous version it feels somewhat more restricted, befoere it was just a "powerful bloodlines" now it also has to be "primordial" so something related to creation myths and similar stuff. I'm not taking it too seriously. Even in basic bitch chinese fantasy xianxia this can mean what the fuck ever, and this CYOA includes way more influences than that. So if you want to be related to the first ghost who was the prototype of how ghosts of dead people work, or to the spirit of the first sword that ever killed a man, or to whatever other weird thing you can think of, that's fine.
>>96773736well i had two ideas but then i gave them as suggestions for new methods and now they both ended up as methods in the cyoa
>>96773790>"primordial"In xianxia primordial can just be the pinnacle of a species as everything primodial was bullshit powerful and everything today come from it, like a primodial ape would have ridiculous strength & whatever esoteric abilities you want/think is appropriate, or just a ridiculous body beyond whatever other beast was around at the time.
>>96773841Well, if you put it that way, considering how many worlds there are we could assume literally anything to be a creation myth. I am partial to the classics, but I would like to go for something a bit more unique, you can be a dragon in a lot of cyoas, not everything gives you the chance to be something like this.>>96773852I don't think there is anything wrong with having the bloodline of a similar method, after all a lot of methods clearly come frome somewhere.

>>96773736A spatial trickster quasi-imp with lots of blinking around and pinching space into sharp points and blades. Matched with weapon god and warhound to become a blender. Easy match for deviated form.A flower of complexity that forms natural formations as a hook for superior formation and talisman crafting. Obviously matched with lost legacy and auxiliary master. Also an easy deviated form, though with a tattoo-like effect.
>>96773910>choice explanationPath of Metamorphosis allows me to grow explosively, constantly expressing new mutations and eventually becoming the Perfect Lifeform. Bone-Scrivened Talismanic Transcribe allows me transcribe techniques onto my skin and bones, the available area for which should be increased thanks to metamorphosis. This is a versatile technique which should compensate for any shortcomings in my skillset.Lastly, Blood-Stained Vermillion Verses is my most powerful method. With it, my power grows the more I kill. The transmutation of blood to magical ink from transcribe must have an effect on this power, I'm sure.Heavenly Conqueror Foundation alongside Peerless Prodigy and Innovative allow me to progress along my methods at astounding speeds, use their abilities in creative ways, and eventually create my own method.All-Consuming Devourer Physique synergizes with Blood-Stained Vermillion Verses, allowing me to grow even faster through wholly consuming my enemies.Unbound Causality + Totem of Rebirth form my final trump card, sending me back in time when trapped in otherwise inescapable positions and allowing reuse of this one-time revive.Jade Beauty and Deceitful Trickster make me a master of trickery and schemes. I will play my enemies against each other, swooping in at the last moment to reap all the rewards. Heaven-Blessed is an incomparable boon which will further speed along my already insane growth rate. It also vastly strengthens the power of metamorphosis, as mutations are part gambling. My Lucky Dice allow me to pool my luck, spending it all at in a single moment to gain the most optimal mutations. Unbound Causality even allows me to reroll.
>>96773925For treasures, Extradimensional Library provides much needed information, while Omni-Compass makes up for my comparative weakness in obtaining materials. Condensation Array further increases my growth rate. As I aspire to become the Perfect Lifeform, Dr. Nalka is a perfect companion, helping me study and plan my mutations. Mono Eye Friend gives me cryptic visions of the future. This synergizes with Unbound Causality, allowing me to foresee possible butterfly effects in the timeline, and avoid disastrous outcomes.Both Corpse King and Place of Power events potentially allow me to advance a full rank instantly. With Unbound Causality + Totem of Rebirth, I have no fear of death and can put all my efforts into extracting as much benefit as I possibly can. Similarly, the benefit of Place of Power is pure knowledge. Even if I die, I retain the information. Wandering Temple allows me to visit nearby worlds, but Passing Through is the greatest benefit here. Three times I can call for help from these old monsters. With my silver tongue I should be able to lead them into giving me more than they should. Of course, to obtain all this I had to take some drawbacks. Youthful is not much of a problem, I will become an adult soon enough. Finger Licking Good is a minor inconvenience at worst. Hero's Journey and Courting Death are arguably benefits, providing me with ample enemies to increase my power with. Fated Nemesis is the main problem here, though I am confident that I can win. Lucky Dice allow me to temporarily suppress Marie Su's luck while adding it to my own. More than that, she is somewhat cowardly. Overwhelming her should be possible, though difficult.
Favorite low power level cyoa?
>>96773964Black magic
>>96773964why would i need a low power cyoa, i'm already low power in real life
>>96773938>strategyMy main strategy is scheming and plotting. However, I do not plan to stay unseen in the shadows. Instead I will recklessly pursue cultivation while deceiving everyone, disguising my intentions and wielding perception as a tool to obtain more power. Whatever I have to do, whatever I have to appear to be, whatever is necessary to increase my cultivation, I will do it. I will not waste energy on being needlessly cruel, or share even a little of my resources by being overly kind. I will not shy away from making enemies, or taking insane risks. Trials and tribulations, struggle and strife only make me stronger. Either I will die a dog's death, or ascend to the highest power in existence.
>>96773982Real life is also brutal as hell, anon. It’s less low powered and more you have no health bars. Just slipping and falling the wrong way can kill you. In the end the only stat that matters is Intelligence, or to be able to navigate life appropriately.

>>96774500I would bet Wise Elder lets you teach her to become purer and purer. Just like you can teach her to dominate her transformation.I like Rachel because she is like the only attractive woman that is not possessed by a demon or a robot

>>96774851I knew you wanted to say that. But yeah, no. Rachel would die. Did you see the size of that beast? it is easily 10x in size.I doubt Rake would imply zoophiles.She is just a woman with the magic power to control beasts and because of the whole situation she became socially inept with humans.

>>96774996both
>>96775100I guess Tarzan was fucking monkeys with that logic. Naked = wild life.
>>96773202Depends on what counts as an "element".
>>96774996god, it would be so funny if she was
We got one >>96772896, now where are the other 2 promised OCs? Don't tell me cyoag is full of oathbreakers...
>>96775171It's still early in the aftertoon, calm down.
>>96774996She's just Bitch from Worm
>>96775197Bitch definitely fucked Brutus though.
>>96775197>>96775208context?
>>96775249Go read Worm.
>>96775249Rachel is literally just a character from Worm
>>96775281She isn't. Her image is from Shadowheart. Her abilities are Tamer(TM)
>>96775295Don't be fucking retarded
>>96775308I literally just told what it is. Stop coping, your zoophilic fetish is not canon
>>96775310I can't tell if you're just being a fucking idiot on purpose
>humans are animals>human-on-human sex is zoophilicThat's it, I'm going fungi and plants.
>>96774967>I remember it as being lower power.It is, aside from Weather Manipulation
>>96775318If against minimal rebuttal your answer is to continue to call the other side retard without arguing, trust me, I am not wondering if you are a retard or not.
>>96775321>t. grind on cucumber like a w*man
>>96775334No that's gross. I'll stick my dick in a venus flytrap instead.

>>96775356Go back to your containment zone.
>>96775295the character from worm is literally called Rachel Lindt and her powers and personality exactly matches her, but the character is not a zoophile in the series, that is just made up shit
>>96775373Next you'll say Lisa's asexual and Taylor isn't a lesbian
>>96775392>Taylor isn't a lesbianShe's bisexual.>Lisa's asexualCanonized by Ward.>inb4 Ward isn't canonStop being a sartrefag.

>>96771530Do Events not picked still happen?
>>96775171I can feel the despair setting in...
>>96775171>>96775499Author cattle... lied to us?
>>96775494Good question
>>96775499t-trust the plan?
>>96775499One of them is supposed to arrive late. You'll trust the Plan, won't you?
>>96775418I believe anon was drawing a tongue in cheek comparison of Worm canon and fanon. Whenever there's a work of fiction where 2 girls are friends, and it has an online fandom, the fandom will reinterpret them as lesbians. Taylor's has stopped crying, there's nothing in her anymore. Suddenly, her head is shoved between Lisa's legs by the flabby arm of a fan. Lisa's pinned to the ground by more fans, her jeans and pants are pulled down, she lies emotionless. She's given up. This is her life now. After some pushing and yelling of "encouragements", Taylor does her best to suppress her disgust and proceeds to lick Taylor's vagina as the surrounding crowd of morbidly obese fans cheers them on.":O look at them being tsundere uwu :DD but it's cute ;D" says a fan with a pizza-stained ahegao t-shirt."YURI FOR LIFE!" say another and farts.
>>96775457Heart Severing MantrEarth, we gotta clean all this shit up before we go looking up
>>96775478I suppose it was. I've been out of school long enough to see all the self-proclaimed "lesbian" and "bi" girls I knew at the time settle down in conventional hetero relationships. Often with the most stereotypically macho alpha male-type they could find.(Not trashing lesbians, by the way, just trendy poseurs. The real deal, who actually ended up in long term lesbian relationships, didn't feel the need to tell every random stranger.)
>>96771530>>96774943(me)Also thought of supplementing the Heavenly Celestial Scrolls with the All-Consuming Inferno Tablets and the Eternal Frost Pages, with Innovative you should be able to fused all three into one superior Method with relative ease for some more stages.
>>96775577
One OC + one update is already more than expected. This is a victory already in my book.

>>96775656... but even defiance against Fate turns out to be part of Fate's arrangements in the end.
>>96775682based, without their weapon swordfags and gunfags are all the same in the end
>>96775695Nah. With our definition of fate, it should all be fated to be. But cultivation is plagued with people going against Fate. How? Who knows, this same cyoa has a perk (the Will one) that is good against Fate
>>96775685>m-muh ching-chong fantasy can't lose to gun!Cry more.
>>96775682>>96775704B-but I like my sword waifu spirit...

>>96775709You are in the losing battle. Name 1 cultivation character that reached the peak of their setting with a gun
>>96775712alright you can have her, but don't think that makes you better than gunfags
>>96775715Not in this case, the sword waifu spirit is eternal with me, she is my Dharma Weapon

>>96775706>How?Heavenly Dao is fucking insane, that's how. At least that's one of the possible interpretations.My response is merely an example of what a powerful Fate cultivator can do against someone who tries to "Nah I'd slice".

>>96775758They are usually the same thing.
Notice how only the Akashic Ascension and Talismanic Transcribe bros are secure enough in their power that they don't feel a need to self-felate about being the strongest
>>96775796I use Talismanic Transcribe but I will defend it as I am the strongest
>>96775796Lions are old and ugly.
>>96771530Holy nerfs! What happened to peerless prodigy and heavenly conqueror foundation?
>>96773910I'm amending my build to add Valuable, Lonely, Warhound, and Iron Will
>>96775796>secure enough in their power that they don't feel a need to self-felate about being the strongestThey just know their places and let the big boys talk.
>>96775796>>96775822>liongatto confirmed as strongest, cultifags stood no chance
>>96775834what changed?
>THIS THING JOBS TO->The cyoa is not multiplayer and everyone else on earth is a jobber anyways
The devouring physique fans are people with gambling addiction. "This one, I will get this super cool physique" "I could have picked X but I will find it, I am sure" "I will survive enough to cash bank!" The Primordial essense fans are realistics.
>>96775834They are not must picks anymore.
>>96775861>relying on some bloodline shit instead of building strength with your own two handsThis is why you all job. You are cowardly RATS, hiding in caves and cultivating to avoid all danger, while relying on others to save you.You will never have even 0.1% of the grit, determination, will, battle IQ, guts, cunning, or ruthlessness of a demonic path gigachad.
>>96775843They allowed you to cultivate faster, as they should. Now both of them have a clarification that>Akshually! It is not like that!Rake rushed the nerf so badly, he even made mistakes like image related. Hell, Heavenly conqueror foundation got nerfed even beyond that. Just look at the original. It got nerfed so badly, the only logical conclusion is that someone that is friends with Rake on discord personally whined to him.
>>96775861>gamblingit makes life fun
>>96775890>Stealing the poor blood of other people instead of building strength from your own primordial bloodYou are jobber antagonist material. This is not a matter of being good or bad. The primordial essense guy is simply better
>>96775891conquerer is still the most picked grand inheritance, what are you mad about?
>>96775888They are both shit now lol
>>96775861It's only gambling if you look for something in particular, if you just take everything with no distinction it's just hoarding.
Why are anons always so pessimistic?
>>96775891i do agree with you, it says that the speed you cultivate your method far surpasses that of other but just below that it says it will not make you better at cultivating
>>96775908Okay? So what? What you are saying has no relation to what I am saying.
>>96775897*protagonistNobody wants to read about some lazy shitter sitting in his inheritance castle with muh divine retard heritage. How is it interesting to sit and cultivate for a gorillion years in your 1000x time flow realm? To obtain all sorts of benefits simply from your bloodline, or from your elders? It's boring. It's lazy. It makes you weak.Everyone wants to read about the demonic path master building himself up from nothing, taking what he wants, facing fate head on with resolve. Fortune favors the bold.>>96775914"Gambling" isn't even a bad thing. You should gamble as much as possible if you have heaven blessed luck.
>>96775934This means the nerf was deserved.
>>96775891>>96775931I think the logic behind is that picking the Foundations, makes you go faster, because you don't have to work on your foundation, while technically you don't get more talented in improving the rest, you simply are ignoring a part of cultivation because you have it done.While Peerless Prodigy know how to improve. You don't need a teacher.
>>96775951Nerfs are NEVER deserved.
>>96775891>the only logical conclusion is that someone that is friends with Rake on discord personally whined to him.This, they also must've been a DickDevourer/LostLegacyfag because those 2 didn't get nerfed even though they're worse than Heavenly Conqueror in sheer cheese.
>>96775967>LostLegacyfagThat was nerfed. It only gives 2 blessings instead of 3.
>>96775966Authors make mistakes. If one choice by accident can be interpreted as more powerful than intended then there is no need to elevate all other powers and raise the whole settings danger level just for that choice alone. That would be retarded.
>>96775966Of course they are, don't be a whiny bitch.
>>96775954That contradicts the claim that it'll help you into the observable future with your cultivation like all GIs, since your foundations are done and over at the start.
>>96775954What does peerless prodigy actually do? It states that>You learn and adapt techniques on the fly>Second set of instincts for cultivation>Helps find optimal path to progress methodsYet, somehow, none of that improves speed of cultivation or understanding.
>>96775984Then don't ruin my fun you maidenless retard.
>>96776005talent without resources is useless
>>96775908I bet those people didn't read the updated text.
>>96775976>It only gives 2 blessings instead of 3.>nerfed >conveniently ignores all the other shit it offers.lmao
>>96776013You are still doing things faster with talent. Stop the cope
>>96775976Except now we have an inter dimensional auction house.
>>96776009Or do you drown this thread in tears?
>>96775171wait one hour bitchIt's almost ready
>>96776035>NO I WANT IT NOW POST WIP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHSomeone probably thinks that.
It doesn't even make sense to nerf stuff as the cyoa is already single player and the player is meant to be op. What? Was faker abusing it during the world championship finals and the sponsors seethed? lmao
>>96776005It does in the sense you are never lost in how to progress. If you and another person knew 100% how to advance and did the same work, you would advance with similar speeds.But realistically that person is going to get lost at some point, or make mistakes and carry on those mistakes. Instead Peerless prodigy would never be lost, and could self correct mistakes. Its a substitue for a good teacher basically.
>>96776035There's 3 hours (give or take an hour to adjust to time zones) left before Friday the 17th is joever. You better deliver or else...
Primordial Essence + Dharma Weapon + Void Body + BSVV Method = the strongest "realistic" build.But Auxilliary Master + HCF + ACDP = the best "potential man" build.
>>96776052>But realistically that person is going to get lost at some point, or make mistakes and carry on those mistakes. Instead Peerless prodigy would never be lost, and could self correct mistakesWhich means that Peerless prodigy will advance faster than others. a.k.a, it increases the speed at which you do cultivation.
>>96776051It's to ensure build variety.
>>96775966This, instead of nerfing an option they should buff the other options
>>96776076No, picture it as growing up a tree. If you know how to do it then you will end up with the tree as straight as possible, but it won't grow up any faster if you only use the same tools as someone who doesn't know what he's doing.
>>96776060I would add the Dharma weapon instead of the Auxiliary master. Because the Dharma weapon grows with the user and copies the abilities of any other weapon, making it a potential weapon, then it helps with cultivation.And the best part is it becoems alive at some point, that plus Protagonist Aura becomes a companion that will get improved by Protagonist Aura, which improves you.
>>96776035I'm hyped
>>96776076Technically? Yes. Just like the Foundation one.But its not a net increase in cultivation speed. Like, an increase in talent would make you be faster than others with the same teacher and knowledge. This gives you the teacher and knowledge through instict, but does not improve the speed itself.
>>96776060>BSVV Methodbut is it really that strong?i mean i understand that the increase in strength/cultivation would be quicker but then in a fight on the same stage it would be on the same level of the other methods
>>96776055>>96776035>>96775171>>96772896What is this competition? Why is this the first i hear of it?
>>96776152I think he put it in "realistic build" because to someone that does not care about lives, it would be the fastest method.
>>96776106You can just make your own Dharma Weapon in time. It surely counts as a treasure on par with the best of The Three Thousand Worlds.
Is microwave food "better" because it is faster? The quality of your cultivation isn't improved by going faster. Now granted in practice almost all of the cultivation stories I know focus on speed as the end result of talent to the exclusion of almost all else. HCF is still worth it for the third method anyway.
>>96776101Who will cultivate faster? Someone that can adapt techniques on the fly, has instincts for cultivation, and has the optimal path or someone with no instincts for cultivation, doesn't know the optimal path, and has a hard time adapting their techniques? Trying to argue that what peerless prodigy gives you has zero effect on the speed at which you cultivate makes no sense. Just like the description of peerless prodigy.
>>96776162>someone that does not care about livesSons win again.
>>96776172Thats actually one of the strength of Sons. The rest of mages train to get their mana pool up. A Son kills a world and has more Mana pool now than almost any other mage.
>>96776106>then it helps with cultivationIt doesn't.And since it will always be a weapon before anything else, I'm not sure Protagonist Aura would do anything, not that it can do much in the first place, it is already the best weapon for you and won't leave your side.
>>96776060I think weapons are gay and would rather use my fists.
>>96776162Yes, and it can also let you to jump stages by itself.
>No one is even bothering trying to defend the mess that is the Heavenly Conqueror Foundation nerf
>>967761613 author anons agreed to a friendly competition to see if they could make OCs in October Friday the 17th.One is done, two to go.
>>96776186>It doesn't.I checked 1.1. They nerfed my sword waifu :(>And since it will always be a weapon before anything else, I'm not sure Protagonist Aura would do anything, not that it can do much in the first place, it is already the best weapon for you and won't leave your side.It would. The protagonist Aura says "regardless of their previous station" so it doesn't matter how good it is, it will improve.
>>96775931I think it's faster because RE flow and settle into you without any struggle(you don't need to wangle it) and you digest Insight faster but you don't absord RE faster and neither did Insight come more often.
>>96776189Based, but I was wondering if a Gauntlet dharma weapon would stray too far from the path of the fistGODS?
>>96776221No fun allowed Rake
>>96776189>>96776244Incredible how there is NOTHING for martial arts in the entire cyoa. There is a method, blessing, and grand inheritance for swordfags and yet martialfags get literally nothing.
>>96776221>"regardless of their previous station"Yes but I meant its station before and after getting a spirit is the same, the best weapon for you, and that is what it is before anything else.I think the aura would still work but the only thing the weapon want is to be your only weapon and it already got everything it need to do that.
>>96775171>Waahhhh wahhhh make oc>Doesn't make a build for the OC in the threadDIE LEECH DIE
>>96771530favorite new method? personally i like Litany of the living forge. i like the idea of my body becoming a weapon and a work of art at the same time.also is how come nobody mentioned from the original version that Conqueror is spelled wrong?
>>96776213>One is done, two to go.he killed the other 2
>>96776275The "best weapon for you" means its perfect in the sense of your preferences and adapting to your methods. Not that its the best ever, otherwise the weapon by itself would kill everyone else. The weapon does improve over time, by knowing more weapons and the user becoming stronger. So the weapon does improve.Being busted by the aura would perhaps give another method to improve the weapon or make the weapon get stronger with those methods. Or maybe a new super ability
>>96776264>Xianxia >No martial artsThis is why Xuanhuan (westoid take on the cultivation genre) is despised in the hardcore cultivation community. It lacks SOVL.
>>96776213I bet it was on the discord away from us mortals?reminds me of the good old christmas OC between cyoag and jumpchain.
>>96776308No it was in the general you fucking tourist
>>96776308It happened here
Rake going overtime to justify shitty changes that his friend asked him to make
>>96776278>also is how come nobody mentioned from the original version that Conqueror is spelled wrong?Technically that is a valid spelling
>>96776329he hasn't entered the thread at all
>>96776277I'm holding off on making builds untill all of OCs are released and the final verdict is passed. The best one will get the incredible honors of me making a build for it first.
>>96776343Is what all authors say
>>96776168Most stories focus on the speed of cultivation because no one really cares about locking yourself 100 years in a cave to even reach the next stage, a story like that would be boring so they always give the protagonist and friends a way to cheat and go to the next level in a reasonable timeframe, even if it makes the whole system look like a joke.
>>96776278Litany Of The Living Forge looks like buffed Machine Transcendence Manual, but without Earth flavor.
>>96776277I just want to hoard them.
I'll be honest with you, guys. HoboSword may be a bit funny, but when the best winning move is not to play, I call that a shitty cyoa design. It's also too low-powered for my tastes.
How long till new thread?
>>96776385>It's also too low-powered for my tastes.That's probably your main problem with Hobo Slayer.
>>96776391I will make it as soon as Rake drops the new update where he buffs everything
>>96776414Soooo... never?
>>96776324Forgive me for having a life.>>96776326Preposterous!
>>96776385I liked itThe optimal build being doing nothing only filters lesser solvers
>>96776374Based dragon bro>>96776385>but when the best winning move is not to playYeah, the Iajutsu autist sounds like he'll have more fun with this than me, and I still get to be rich and famous
>>96776408Nah, I dislike that kind of design more.
>>96776435What do you like then, in terms of power level?
So should I wait for next thread or just post OC now
Can authors ever resist nerfing stuff into the ground when they update their cyoas? Has there ever been one capable of resisting the autism?
>>96776454Do it! We're only on page 6
>>96776454>page 6, bump limit reachedPost it here. We still go time. We'll create a new thread with one of the OCs later.
Ever on and on>>96776475>>96776475>>96776475
>>96776454Now is better
this might be a little bit of a stretch but what if rake just gives us Havenly conqueror foundation by default? i mean the vast majority is still going to take it, why don't give the benefits for free so we can have another slot for another grand inheritance
>>96776477There was oc this thread...
>>96776477>Not putting either of the OCs in OP>Also, new thread on thread 6You are a fuck!
>>96776278I have a thing for golems so yea living forge and stone titan are my new favorites. Making a built that takes both and so once again have to take heavenly conqueror for a third method to make it interesting.
>>96776524living forge + stone titan + machine ascendance
>>96776371They are different things, one is machine and technology focused while the other is metal focused. I don't see why people seem to think they are the same.

>>96775834>>96775891>>96771530a similar issue exists with decentralized organs that talks about how it's your metaphysical organs at first but then in the end says it's only about physical damage instead of metaphysical, really weird, this should really be made less schizo
>>96777915Decentralized organs' last two sentences say similar thing, one for your physical body and one for the metaphysical one, their is no "only".
