If this CYOA had a more developed chronicles system, it might have been different, but as it is, it is useless to me. And I'm peevish about all unnecessary nerfs, I suppose, but it's a minor issue.

>>96862838Imagine that you're playing a game about the cold war, or a standin thereof. One of the many factions are the Soviet Union. They're a freakish empire who do heinous things to millions of people, demanding nothing less than the utter destruction or perversion of everything that came before them in the name of their ideology. The game also does everything to make sure that such an important faction is engaging for you to oppose, or even play. They have threatening soldiers with a unique appearance, background events that constantly show their importance, and a charismatic major character with a small point to make.Another faction are first world communists. They are patsies of the soviets while wearing the skin of the free world, having none of the interesting features of both, yet they have a headstart of centuries over the soviets on ruining the world because they came first.

>>96863796Assamite gives starter ranks too. No idea where the thaumaturgy is from.
>>96863800>Assamite gives starter ranks too.It says you pick a path as your main path, but it doesn't mention anything about getting ranks of it for free - I don't really see any clear effect from the 'main path' bit at all.
>>96863796>>96863800>>96863806Page 6 upper right, under starter path box
>>96863820>Page 6 upper right, under starter path boxHah, damn. Sorcery really is just stupidly powerful, then.
I guess the idea may be that magic and rituals are in practice 'trickier' to pull off than blood powers, but even so. Giovanni with Grave's Decay as their primary path, 2 blood spent total to be able to turn other vampires to dust with a touch. That's...something, all right.
>>96863838The long term savings of the clans that have affinity in a blood sorcery is massive
>>96863849So it seems. No escalating cost for the higher tier of sorceries as there is for the higher tier of discipline, too.

>>96862883>monstergirl slopI sleep
>>96863827>>96863838Eh. The paths aren't innate/instinctual like disciplines: you need to learn them by gathering knowledge/experimenting instead of just developing the blood, need expensive rituals for bigger effects, and need willpower/concentration to perform, can't use them in a frenzy, etc. Magic always comes with a cost.Disciplines cost less and less to use, at least in the cyoa, and in-clan ones seem to become easier to use as you develop them too, whereas every ritual is always as hard/easy to do as the first time you do it. Rituals sometimes have more esoteric or specific requirements as well. Licks with blood sorceries as in-clan affinities have an easier time of it, but this still applies. Disciplines are also more powerful compared to a single path, and the blood costs reflect that.The real power comes from what >>96863849 says, an organized group of blood sorcerers can pull of ridiculous stuff with the right rituals. Thaumaturgy's strength comes from its versatility, scalability & permanence.
>>96864008Well, at least the cyoa suggests that thaumaturgy and necromancer are no harder to use than disciplines; under unlocking new sorcery; says that "the manipulation of vitae and the knowledge thereof is similar and near identical to that of using a discipline."
>>96862883God this looks so fucking bad its virtually unplayable.
>>96862700The chick going "into your mind" to know your powers in the intro makes no sense, make the cyoa worst for it when seeing later that she know Leech and Synergy. So she copy telepathy from a nearby phychic to read a mind that don't even know what is going on, even less know it's own powers, and let's not forget that Psychic Resistance is a thing, which make using telepathy to learn what abilities you have an even more worse idea.
>>96864071Anon leech is probably what is letting her do that. Leech is for borrowing powers: you need to know what powers someone has to do that. The description for leech literally tells you it can do that that, it starts as 'In addition to sensing a targets specific powers'. The phrasing might be slightly odd, but given it's all psychic powers then yeah I guess using leech on someone does technically 'go into their mind' or maybe she's just being general because you can't be expected to know what powers do what and she's trying to be open.Even if that hadn't been there though I'd have just assumed it was a basic use of psychic powers on someone who had just awoken and that psychic resistance doesn't care as much about someone who doesn't have any hostile intent (again, it's all psychic, so it's reasonable to be able to be like 'hey, this guy has just been attacked by a serial killer, I need to use my senses on him to check everything has gone okay with his awakening).
I was looking at CC and honestly I'm tempted to pick about 80% of the complications just because it'd make for a more interesting story + each "flaw" typically comes with a silver lining or way to turn it into an advantage long term. Pretty interesting. I'll probably cut half the choices so I get a more comfy time cultivating.Is pvp a thing or am I the MC of my universe? Am I the only person with a golden finger or are there 100 other Anon's with their own builds roaming around?
>>96864176It's solo, no pvp, and no evidence that there should be anyone else in the world that would be able to match you at your stage.

>>96864474Probably yeah. I mean there are apparently other kinds of psychics in this world, espers, who might have other powers? So maybe they could make something that could get past your shields. But Psions are apparently the brute force powerhouses so that's unclear.I considered the full invincible build myself but the inertia didn't seem that necessary because it didn't even occur to me that someone else *could* move you or your barriers. I just figured inertia would limit your flight speed (not an issue with teleportation) or cause trouble if you wanted to fly around space.My build was:>Projection 2>Life Support 2>Invulnerability 3>Relativity 1Even with inertia as a potential weakness, I think I'd keep it as is. Though technically with the extra point I can get from picking biokinesis from >>96862700 I could drop relativity and pick it up. I like the idea of combining projection, invulnerability and relativity to do a Sukuna impression and dice things from sight distance with hyperfine razor wire barriers. Could probably just figure out a projection to put over my barrier so that someone who does want to move me can't do so too easily if I want to be double safe.
>>96864878I was honestly just thinking about what kind of build would be able to solo our entire species. I don't think you can survive nukes without Neutralize Inertia. But specking heavily into defense like that means your offense will be rather lacking.
Danmachi is the best cyoa ever made bar none
>>96864925back to /trash/, tokky
Does tok even make cyoas anymore or does he just repost his old ones and his image builds over and over?
>>96864984Does it matter? His CYOAs inevitably flop then he's crying for weeks; let him focus on image builds virtually nobody read. Less of a headache for everyone involved.
>>96864999>His CYOAs inevitably flop then he's crying for weeksIs that so? I don't even remember with how long it's been since he last made oc.
>>96864984I do, but the past year I have been painting my warhammer army and thus not made any CYOAs. But once my army is finished, I will resume work on my latest CYOA Hentai Heroine, pic realted.
>>96865014>he doesn't remember the t0k meltdownsLucky you.
>>96865024You're not allowed to be a thread personality if it's been over a year since you last made oc. I don't make the rules.
>>96865042Rulesanon will pay someday...!
>>96864999>>96865014>>96865033You should all prepare yourself for it, because Hentai Heroine will be the dark souls of lewd CYOAs, only the most hardcore gamers will be able to play it. I have always liked lewd drawbacks and the most lewd drawbacks I have put into a CYOA is 129 in Messed Up Waifu. That's a lot, but I was aiming for a higher number in Hentai Heroine and as it stands when I stopped working on it, it had 300 drawbacks, which is unheard of in any lewd CYOA. I really taped into some creative ideas and esoteric fetishes to make that happen and I am so looking forward to finishing and releaseing Hentai Heroine. But first things first, I need to paint my army.
>>96865081Any ETA on when Hentai Heroine is coming out?
>>96865092 2030
>>96865092>Any ETA on when Hentai Heroine is coming out?No clue. I think I will be able to finish painting my army by the end of the year, maybe faster than that or slower. Then I don't know how long it will take to finish Hentai Heroine. I always add stuff to CYOAs I'm working on as I work on them, so it's very hard to say. Maybe in it will get finished in the first quarter of 2026. Probably somewhere in April, if my calculations are correct, but it could be faster and it could be slower.Also, there is a big reason why I included such an absurd number of lewd drawbacks. Mechanically, the CYOA is about being a super weak hero who has to take shit tons of lewd drawbacks to get any good powers. So it only makes sense for there to be shit tons of lewd drawbacks. But it's also because I have seen so many drawbacks being reiterated over and over in lewd CYOAs. It's like people have stopped coming up with new drawbacks and just fall back on the same old ones like "random orgasms", "heat", and "always ready (got a cunt that is always wet)". There is so little innovation in the fields of lewd drawbacks, and if people are just gonna repeat other drawbacks, I think I should come up with a bunch of new ones so I can get some variety when I play lewd non-Tok CYOAs. I also want to inspire the more creative lewd authors and show them what you could do if you play with fetish concepts and classic RPG elements.>>96865098>2030Maybe if my name were Italics.
>>96865081>the dark souls of [media]Keep that shit in /v/.
>>96865161>Italics It's been a while for him too. He's working hard on Echoes PSY as we speak.
>>96865081>>96865161>in my concept-I don't care. That's barely better than WIP posting. Either make the cyoa or shut the hell up.

Maybe use dimensional travel to warp in anchor + static and play assassination on the other teams more powerful units. A group of guys with guns is always dangerous as well.
>>96865081The name is Hentai Heroine so is this going to be a be the girl cyoa?
He will never make something even half as good as dragonfall ever again and that reality hurts my soul.I suppose Tok making a cyoa I like is really something that only happens once in a lifetime.
>>96865207Yes basically, he said the only male option is to be a femboy sissy. Honestly I don't understand why he's advising that shit here, from the sound of it, it seems like something perfect for /trash/.
>>96865188>I don't care. That's barely better than WIP posting. Either make the cyoa or shut the hell up.Since when have I ever not finished a CYOA that I started writing? NEVER, I always finish what I start, and Hentai Heroine was started before I started painting my warhammer army. It will get finished just like all of my other CYOAs where finished. I NEVER dip out like WIP posters and newfag authors. >>96865207>The name is Hentai Heroine so is this going to be a be the girl cyoa?No, you won't have to be a girl, you can totally choose to be a man, however, you won't be a manly man, you will be an effeminate, pretty little trap boi with skin smoother than a baby bun and if you if so much as suggest that you are infact a man people are goona laugh at you like you told the funniest joke because of how feminine you look. >>96865253Ohhh, you're gonna like Hentai Heroine already. If you have an inkling of love for isekai or even fantasy, then this CYOA will be the CYOA for you. Not only will it awaken your penis and unleash its true potential and make you explode in a brilliant display of cum. But it will challenge you as a gamer and make you think hard, strategically, and tactically to try and turn your situation around from a helpless rape bait heroine to a badass boss bitch. But it will require sacrifices and the soul of a true power gamer.
>>96865294>Not only will it awaken your penis and unleash its true potential and make you explode in a brilliant display of cum.Why are you imagining Anon's dick in so many details?
>>96865312>Why are you imagining Anon's dick in so many details?All dicks are beautiful, and all anons are dicks, thus, all anons are beautiful, and I love beauty. So ultimately, I love anon and wish him nothing but the best, which is to die in a violent explosion of his own cum.
>>96865294Reminds me of dragons echo slightly at least vibe wise, quite simmilar exchange of lewd drawbacks for a power fantasy
>>96865337my sides you never fail to make me laugh
>>96864615>best possible Foundationfor the other 2 i could see how it would make sense even if i doubt that the really high cultivation elders (near the top as rake said for mentor ring elder) would bother teaching a junior. but there is no way they would have 3 methods available to them, same for the dharma weapon.
>>96865294If it allows you to choose different sexes are there any sex exclusive drawbacks? Or do none of the drawbacks target specific genitals?
Go talk about your coomer garbage cyoa on /trash/ you massive flamboyant homosexual
>>96865468The CYOA will allow you to choose gender, and there are drawbacks that are exclusive to certain genitalia, specifically: dicks, pussies, and boobs. So I guess not all of the 300 drawbacks will be available to every player, depending on the gender they choose. >>96865506No
>>96865590At a closer look, 21 drawbacks are genital locked
>>96865161sounds like gifts for the hero by tim, but worse because it's not by tim
>>96865621Surprising that so little are gender locked out of the 300 drawbacks
>>96865641NTA, but wasn't gifts for the hero more focused on minimizing how bad your drawbacks are going to be from the debt you incured than getting powerful out of drawbacks, sounds like quite the different vibe
>>96865590how is this going to be any different from dungeons and deviants?
>>96865506Keep him. Don't throw your problems our way.
>>96865621if your jumper hasn't found a loophole to reconfigure into whichever set(s) of genitals would be convenient for the occassion you're not trying hard enough
>>96865700>jumperwrong cyoa boyo
>>96865678i mean i guess it's organized in the opposite order but mechanically it sounds the same
>>96865682Dungeons and Deviants is more of a fantasy isekai powe fantasy with some lewd elements. Hentai Heroine plays more like a mashocistic fantasy isekai with a underpowered fantasy where you are are summoned to a fantasy world wthough a ritual that requires super rare materials but unlike normal summoned heroes you have absolutly laughably lewd slut skills instead of the normal super cheat mode skills that summoned heroes are known for. Thus, you are the equivalent of a bad bottom bitch gatcha pull. But you are still a hero and have skills to go on quests, even if they might be low-tier quests, and they will force you to do those quests because they lost so much wealth from summoning you and want to get some value out of you. Even if you end up losing and getting raped over and over as you try and kill goblins, they will make you do it. Also, Dungeons and Deviants has sections for editing the world, Hentai Heroine doesn't because I instead wanted to focus on world-building and making the world lewd by default while having lore to support why it is so lewd. And there are a lot of other different differences which would be too much of a spoiler to reveal. But they are very different both mechanically and thematically.
>>96865743What's the appeal?
>>96865743I'd make guns and meth and kill everyone
>>96865706potatoes, potatoes
>>96863658>Talentless Morsel (The Sun (it can be removed if T1))That's a really funny exploit.
>>96861646>What is your favorite part that you daydream off when fantasizing about being a Super Hero(or Supervillain)? As another anon said, I prefer low (street to small-city) levels of power vastly more than cosmic shit. This doesn't mean there shouldn't be worldwide conspiracies or alien invasions, just no godlike supers that invalidate the rest of characters just by existing. As for what my fantasy, think the first half of Chronicle and the Peacemaker show for example, just superbros doing googy shit and having fun. >Also, what is something other cape CYOA have not done yet?Sidekick section, actually interesting superpowers section (Interesting as in JoJo-type creative abilities and not just generic capslop archetypes), and worldbuilding (just because Capshit is mostly set in the real world doesn't mean you can't add your own spin on it).
>>96865739A bit different mechanically as gift for the hero has a trick element, you must finish a section before you move on to the next as spoilers would partially ruin the experience. While hentai heroine seems to have far more standard mechanics like a regular cyoa it doesn't seem to be attempting to trick you to fuck you over.
>>96865787>Le exploitJust call it what it is: Headcanon.
The tok cyoa will prove once and for all that /cyoag/ is full of trrons.
>>96865818Cyoag is 100% troons even the posts complaining about them are actually troons

A few threads ago anons were discussing if Living Forge had any limits as to how much stuff they could store within themselves. Some anons didn't specify a limit while others said it was around the volume of the body of the user. I think both are incorrect. Nothing indicates you have unlimited storage space, but at the same time having too little also doesn't make sense. I'd assume Forge would be able to absorb anything on the treasure section with a few exceptions. Something like Essence Furnace for example, is a treasure that you should be able to absorb without issue. Even if it's size probably surpasses the human body. So if I had to guess, you probably have a limit that gets larger the more into the method you are. With high levels having a massive amount of space. This entire discussion is rendered null if you use Forge to absorb the Pocket Dimension ring and get endless space within yourself though. I think even Lost Legacy might have some stuff within that can be used to store massive amounts of materials and artifacts.
>>96866005I wonder if LF can use it's body to create artifacts directly. Like, creating an artifact to counter an enemy mid-fight. Maybe you could do that kind of shenanigans if you have something like Innovative.
>>96866004>Seething boneboy.
>>96866001Because he's HIM.
>>96866005>A few threads ago anons were discussing if Living Forge Stopped reading there. The temperature inside a forge is 1000 to 1500 C, you're delusional if you think living beings can survive temperatures that high.
>>96866055Anon I think you misunderstood, he's obviously talking about document forgery and committing tax fraud.
>>96866055This is a weird kind of shitpost, but I guess you're far from being the first anon to deliberately act like a retard.
>>96866004Every houndlet is in a state of chronic hype superposition. That is to say, he is him until he suddenly is not. The only way to verify whether he is him or is not him with any certainty is to slay him in combat. If you win, he wasn't him. If he wins, he might be him.
>>96866043>Delicious Houndlet
>>96866005it's a pointless question to argue whether living forge provides native means to make extra space because you have other means to do that anyway
>>96866122>Calcified Cuck.
>>96866032bro what does that even mean, why wouldn't you call it a technique at that point, that's what techniques arethis is like the meme about techbros discovering hanging out irl and calling it a physical podcast
At this point Sons and Conquerors should just make out. I'm tired of this flirting.
>>96866139Techjeets are hilariously tone deaf, don't be surprised.
>>96866154I resent that.
>>96866139I don't think it's hard to understand? The's asking if LF can make magic items on the fly.
>>96866140>At this point Sons and Conquerors should just make out. I'm tired of this flirting.I am going to make out, with his Gifts that is. I'll be sure to keep his skull on the nightstand so he can watch.
>>96866162yes, to which i posed the answer that you ignored
>>96866162*he's
>>96866128Synergy choices and required ones are entirely different. If Forge doesn't have a significant amount of space than you are basically required to pick LL or PD. If you do pick those two your inherent potential is boosted massively. A Forge with limited space and a Forge with unlimited space behave entirely different.
>>96866175That 'answer' makes no sense.> I wonder if LF can create magic items at will?> Why wouldn't you call it a technique????
>>96866185wow it's like we're progressing sentence by sentencethe answer to this post is the last sentence of the first paragraph of my original post
>>96866184you can make extra space without any methodsthere's also a difference betweel LF making space as a core effect and you just making space via the properties of the material you cultivate LFanother angle to take to this is the question of whether LF making extra space is reasonable given its fluff
>>96866139>>96866162There is nothing that states that so even if it sounds entirely possible, a significant contingent of anons would disagree. It's like saying Forge doesn't have extra space within itself even though by the language employed in the option they do.
>>96866211you don't need to respect the opinions of shitposters
>>96866202You're either talking about this > I think even Lost Legacy might have some stuff within that can be used to store massive amounts of materials and artifacts.which doesn't answer the question, or this> this is like the meme about techbros discovering hanging out irl and calling it a physical podcastwhich also doesn't answer the question. Either way you're an idiot.
>>96866223no i was talking about "that's what techniques are"
>>96866207I think in the last sentence of the fluff LF is called "a living armory" or something along those lines. Which makes absolutely no sense if you are limited to space of a human body. Under such constraints you could maybe absorb an armor, sword and a couple of other artifacts, hardly something one would call an "armory".
>>96865787>>96865811You can lower any curse except the sun by 1 tier or remove ANY tier 1 curse.
>>96866231i think looking at that line is entirely unnecessary when worrying about spacei also think worrying about space in the first place is unnecessary
I think it is pretty simple. There is a limited amount of space but compatible items can be combined by forging them together (to make a living armory).
>>96866244Would you make the argument as to why do you think that's the case?Personally I think storage space is actually quite essential to LF's general utility. With unlimited space you can have an almost endless amount of artifacts, each with it's own abilities and you could use your body to employ those abilities. Basically endless possibilities and versatility during combat.
>>96866228Okay, well for one that's not a paragraph, that's a sentence. Secondly that still doesn't answer the question. Whether you call it a technique or not doesn't change whether Forge can actually do that. Thirdly that isn't even true, there's a difference between using a technique to make an artifact that creates a fireball and using a technique that just creates a fireball directly.
>>96866278you can find or develop techniques to do anything anyway, this is xianxia, you aren't limited to a list of jrpg-style spellseven if you couldn't do that you could make an artifact that provides space and involve that, however going in that direction is silly because once you've integrated an artifact it's the equivalent of a technique you can use
>>96866163>not using the Son's skull for a belt buckle
>>96866291you think forge can't use techniques??? somehow by taking up that method you're blocked from most of the useful parts of cultivation???>there's a difference between using a technique to make an artifact that creates a fireball and using a technique that just creates a fireball directlyyeah? explain it then
>>96866207How is that different? Forge allows you to use the abilities of the stuff you absorb, so if you have the inventory ring I think you should be able to use all your shit using that ability to storage other treasures within yourself.
>>96866310it's not
>>96866304Nta but one is well under the purview of LF while the other one isn't
>>96866304> you think forge can't use techniques???Literally at what point did I ever say that? The question is 'Can Living Forge use techniques to create artifacts on the fly'. > yeah? explain it then...The fact that one of them involves the creation of an artifact and one of them doesn't?
>>96866163Not the Gifts bro...
>>96866340and my question is "what's the difference between using a technique and using an impromptu artifact" because those sure sound like exactly the same thing to me when we're talking about a method that turns your own body into an artifact as a means of cultivation and providing techniques>...The fact that one of them involves the creation of an artifact and one of them doesn't?you restated it, you didn't explain itwhere's an actual difference?
>>96866339artifacts are just externalized technique dispensers, and you're wondering if an externalized technique dispenser which you then internalized later counts as an artifact or a technique?the answer is yes, yes it doesfor a better answer we need better questions
You guys do realize you can use forge to absorb Splice Tree, refine it, then use it to duplicate other treasures right? A forgefag could possibly have a thousand reincarnation totem or lotus bombs within themself ready to use.
>be forge cultivator>absorb tree>fuck your waifu>you are now pregnant
>>96866414>you can use forge to absorb Splice Tree, refine it, then use it to duplicate other treasuresNuh uh, I(heavenly court) will send 10,000 tribulations upon you for being gay if you do this

Because you don't even get Living Metal shapeshifting until the end. > where's an actual difference?Again, the fact that they literally are not the same thing.

>>96866005mhh... i still think that you should be able to assimilate any artefact/weapon by the end.>>96866032you would need to expand on that method with Innovative
>>96866414>>96866436more like what would you even gain? it's a method of making materials, it won't suddenly let you make other stuff just because you've absorbed itmaybe by doing this once you're high tier you'll actually be able to increase the speed of material production? except right now you can just keep the tree in a time chamber so there's no way that's happening anytime soon>>96866438that's another thing, does the tree even count as an artifact?>>96866437no, i'm asking what the point of anon's plan would be? how does it differ from using an impromptu technique?>Again, the fact that they literally are not the same thing.and yet you refuse to explain what makes them different >inb4 "but they are different" for the fourth time
>>96866445the light of Allah shall be spread to every corner of the three thousand worlds
>>96866163and how, exactly are you going to do that with sons having multiple phylacteries and with both gifts and minions having loyalty built in in their very being ?
> no, i'm asking what the point of anon's plan would be?The point would obviously be that it's way more versatile, because artifacts aren't limited by your methods like techniques are. That's basically the whole point of Talismanic Transcribe as well.
>>96866532>hon hon hon baguetteshut up frenchie
>>96866537techniques aren't limited by methods at all, the ones you get from methods are just better suited to you, you can still get or make a method that does anything
>>96866492Allahhu Akkbar!!!
>>96866445Why? Lotus Bombs are explicitly stated to protect the user from the explosion.
>>96866549You could, but it'd still be a lot worse than an artifact. Again, that's the whole point of Talismanic Transcribe.
>>96866578why would it be worse than an artifact?as for talismanic, i disagree since the skin squiggles are earlygame impromptu techniques, they aren't full techniques until laterso that'd be the equivalent of an impromptu artifact, which you'd have a harder time making than the early talismanic squigglesthere is no functional difference, absorbing artifacts is a way of getting new techniques for forge, it's not some separate phenomenon
Am I the only one who thinks Dharma Weapon is a bit shit? I think Guardian is a much better option in every possible way.
>>96866608Stop being soft
>>96866608no, it is kind of shit, its only use is in the dharma+void+guardian meme, outside of that you're always better off taking something else
>>96866627This is an interesting set if your Guardian is some kind of armor or symbiote. Otherwise you should almost always pick LL with Guardian so you're not anywhere near harms way. I prefer a build focused on Auxiliary stuff with a very combat focused Guardian to make use of it.
>>96866654you just give the sword to the guardian
>>96866597> why would it be worse than an artifact?Because inventing techniques is harder than creating artifacts, and Forge can already empower artifacts. > as for talismanic, i disagree since the skin squiggles are earlygame impromptu techniques, they aren't full techniques until laterThey aren't full techniques ever. They increase in power, but they are not techniques. There's a reason technique is in quotation marks there. > so that'd be the equivalent of an impromptu artifact, which you'd have a harder time making than the early talismanic squigglesArtifacts would be just as easy to make as talisman spells since they're both just relying on knowledge.
Anons, what are your predictions for the Exalted Conquest starting regions? So far, we know nothing about these places besides their names. We know even less about the enemies we'll be fighting there.>Estelar Empire>Northern Nuroma>Southeast Kaise>Sky Plateau>The Ruined Lands
>>96866712>Because inventing techniques is harder than creating artifactswhy would making techniques be harder than creating artifacts?>They aren't full techniques ever.they become full techniques in later stages when they stop being erased with use>Artifacts would be just as easy to make as talisman spells since they're both just relying on knowledge.and what else does creating techniques rely on?
>>96866727>Sky PlateauThey can fly>The Ruined LandsTutorial mode necromancy enemies, probably good if you're planning on hunting Sons later
>>96865641After taking a look at "gifts for the hero" I can tell you that the lewdness and degeneracy of my CYOA will be on a whole other level. That CYOA doesn't even have that much NSFW images. Also my CYOA will be more of a character creator, as in you choose race, class, appearance, stats, skills and all that. Then you pay for it with a shit tons of drawbacks. My CYOA will be way bigger and also have much more world building for exmaple: sections related to the start of your adventure like choosing your starting zone whioch will give you info about each of the major kingdoms of the world and what lewd monsters you might expect to encounter in those areas. But NO fucking quests, fuck that shit! CYOAs should be open ended adventures with no rail roading and only provide a trampoline to jump off on into your own adventures.
You are the Chosen Houndlet. Only you can defeat the Hound by jumping into his stomach. Now go forth, Chosen One!
>>96866824Dragonfall was good because it wasn't a be the girl gooner CYOA. Your CYOAs could be good if you reigned in the hornyness a bit.
>>96866838It was made by tok. It absolutely was a be the girl gooner cyoa.
>>96866843It wasn't mandatory
>>96866838Im going to assume you mean good in comparison to his other cyoas, not actually good
>>96866838>Tok cyoa's could be good if they weren't made by tokAnon, it will only get worse from here
>>96866856>Tok cyoa's could be good if they weren't made by tokI'm not sure about this...
>>96866838But you don't have to be a girl in Hentai Heroine, anon, you can totally be a man, pic realted
when did I miss the Tok becomes a fag arc? I always knew he was a gooner powergaming fag but I didn't expect this much sissy shit. Is the pipeline between these two more obvious then I realized or what.
>>96866884If you're too attracted to women you circle around to it
>>96866893have we been all put on this earth to suffer this cruel fate...
>>96866884After EntropistAnon punished him for his pedo rapist imagebuild, Tok sank deep into mindless AI validation to cope. It indulged his worse impulses and caused his porn addiction to reach a critical, transsexual mass.
>>96866911EA was a coomer who couldn't handle a real goonlord
>>96866893Yea I have had to fight it myself. The desire to be attractive combined with viewing women as the most attractive by far leads to weird stuff if you don't touch enough grass.
>>96866754>hunting Sons laterhow are you going to deal with Soleac hunting you down like a dog?
>>96866925Nah, I'd win
>>96866869>PicManlier than every anon here btw
>>96866231>I think in the last sentence of the fluff LF is called "a living armory" or something along those lines. Which makes absolutely no sense if you are limited to space of a human body.Isn't that in the context of your body being turned into liquid metal? You can reform yourself into whatever armors or weapons you need, making you a living armory.
>>96866884Uh... like six or seven years ago?
>>96866959I think it means you can turn into the stuff you absorb. If that's limited to your current mass then your options are extremely limited.
>>96866949>Father's Paladin simping for femboys again
>anons arguing over semantics againchances this is rake samefagging to keep his shit cyoa relevant?
>>96867044>>96866959not innately, like the terminator that was living metal didn't have spatial storage
>>96866911EntropistAnon punished him for impersonating him and fabricating a walk blessed
>>96866925You'll have to win back-to-back impossible battles if you want to ascend anyway. Soleac is no different, and it has been done before. Outplan and outplay the world-shattering reality-warping embodiment of death, gain a reward, and get stronger. Do it again when he revives from his phylactery and comes back, then do it again, and again, and again, as many times as it takes. Eventually you'll become a Tempered Hero and another Son will get killed by an easier target somewhere else. Just don't stop winning. It is that simple.
>>96867077The terminator isn't a immortal cultivator with enough power to nuke a town single handlely. I do not believe the comparison is apt at all, specially because I wouldn't call that terminator a "living armory". The liquid metal body is just one of the aspects of a high level forge. If that was all there is to it then it would be kinda trash.
>>96867121i would call him a living armory, he can make swords, axes, hammers, even forks and spoons
>>96867090I can't believe he did that lmaoTok really is the pure living garbage
>>96867132>>96867090i don't mind if he did that, some faggot coming here and trying to run a quest deserves it
>>96867126Ah yes, I too store forks and spoons on my armory.
>>96867143laugh all you want, a spoon is the perfect weapon against liquid body enemies
>>96867143Forks can be very dangerous weapons.

Danmachi?
>>96866884he's the reflection of cyoag
>>96867333Go back
>>96867325I don’t like Danmachi because it forces me to waste so many points to reach max level. Cyoas with mechanics that force you to make certain choices aren’t good cyoas sorry.
>>96867325I don't like Danmachi because it's a shit setting.A good litmus test might be: east asian settings with explicit levelups are shitty. I can't think of any examples to the contrary.
>>96867570100% your mental problem, just level up normally
>>96867594Stinky Gil cyoa! Smells like feet. That’s a good sign.
>>96867596IIRC Danmachi had a rule that each time you level up, you have to risk your life. If the risk isn't real, you can't level up. That's a problem for everyone.
>>96867601anon you lied to me all the feet are cropped out
>>96867623>his nose doesn’t workMy condolences
>>96867606You really shouldn't pick the option to be adventurer if you fear adventure.
>>96867596Cats aren’t that intelligent. They cannot plan. They aren’t tacticians. They cannot build contraptions as they lack thumbs.
>>96867570>>96867587why are you fags giving our main attentionwhore attention?
>>96867673A cyoa is a cyoa.
>>96867587I like those cliche video game-y settings, but the characters in Danmachi are mostly annoying.>>96867667Then how did he do that in the gif, huh? Clearly you're wrong!
>>96867673A bigger attention whore than Tok? Really?
>>96867673And he hasn't even put on the cat earsDisgraceful
>>96867657No kidding, being a god is objectively better, but you can consider it 2 different cyoas that can be played separately. Like the 4 eras in PPPP - just imagine you didn't have the choice between the 4 eras and were forced to go to each one, for 4 builds.
>>96867606That rule is very important because otherwise the gods could level up whoever they wanted whenever they wanted.
>>96867704I want to kill Vash.
>>96867695>just imagine you didn't have the choice between the 4 eras and were forced to go to each one, for 4 builds.Instead of that, imagine you're playing it blind, don't know what the other eras are and didn't skip ahead to find out.
>>96867704
>>96867644NTA but I have a surgery to expand my sinuses and clear out a chronic lifelong infection on the seventh. I'm very excited to finally know what the /cyoag/ smells like.
>nooo I don’t want to be put into a highly dangerous situation in order to grow noooWhy even obsess over power if you aren’t going to put in any of the effort?
>>96867711I did that, first time! (I took the spaceship option because it made it seem least likely the pods will be dismantled by future humans)But that's no reason to reprieve yourself from making builds for the other eras afterwards.
>>96867710Hi knives.
>>96867691yes, tok might be annoying but he does not continually post about the same old cyoa in every thread begging for attention like the danmachifag does.
>>96867724Because cyoag anons are actual losers. They shit and piss and scream when someone works for what they have, and this is why crafter types are hated here.
>>96867724are you responding to someone or just talking to the air?
>>96867657IIRC Danmachi has a Guinness book of world records and the fastest person to level up was roughly two months, and it was from Lvl 1 to Lvl 2.Enjoy wasting months of your time when the story is only six months in. The author also said the story will only take one year. Bahahaha. You’re a slug.
>>96867606I think you "only" need to do something anything that would impress the gods (for your level), crafting or scheming should be possible path to level up, but the dungeon is right here to supply level appropriate epic lethal battle.
>>96867737Do crafter types work more? It can vary by setting but my impression has been that crafter types work less.
>>96867767Crafters work more in the short-term so they have to work less in the long-term. It's all about delayed gratification.
>>96867759skill issue, couldn't happen to me
>>96867772I meant not crafters as you'd use the word in real life, but crafter builds. If you're a fantasy soldier working to advance a fantasy nation's prospects, then you have to live in stinky field camps while you shake supplies out of villagers etc, while crafteranons are normally comfyfags. Comfy build is the opposite of work hard build.
>>96867767There was that one cyoa there the old scientist who gives you free powers also offers (as one of the offered free powers) the power to make other powers, but it’s a slow and unreliable path. Anons hated that because they don’t like the idea that someone has more potential, even if only in hypothetical territory.
>Crafters work more in the short-term so they have to work less in the long-termThis is backwards.
>>96867737>this is why crafter types are hated herewhat the actual fuck are you even talking about? never seen someone shit on crafter types that much. are you just making up stuff now?
>>96867767They just assume that crafting will give them everything that the option description so much as hints as theoretically possible, but disregard the actual time & resources spent on researching and crafting all that.
>>96867818You don’t remember that time someone brought up a witch stealing a strand of anon’s hair and using it to curse him from afar and then that anon threw a tantrum because it’s “too OP”? Anons HATE preparation logic. This is why they hate ritualist types too. They expect magic to be an extension of a mage’s muscles. They don’t expect magic to be bullshit. It extends to other fields like mad science or whatever.
Should I post my OC or wait till the shitposting dies down?
>>96867837You sound like butthurt vampfags in the world of darkness general. “Yeah mages can do everything but we will fuck him up before he gets that far”
>>96867837>but disregard the actual time & resources spent on researching and crafting all thatNo one is disregarding that. You’re disregarding the idea that they’re *already* done researching, gathering, and crafting.
>They don’t expect magic to be bullshitIsn’t the whole point of magic for it to be unfair (in its niche) ?
>>96867845i guess it makes sense if by crafter types you mean that.>>96867858you have been asking this for the last 4 threads, shut the fuck up.
>>96867737That makes no sense. Wouldn't crafter types be loved in that case? The other types all need to go into danger on a regular basis, doing everything manually. Crafters just set shit up and then laze around.
>>96867845>it's the matterfag again
>>96867883Whether magic is fair or not depends on the powers that be. It’s all arbitrarily gay.
>>96867845Preparation isn't bullshit, anon... are you a minor?In Seinaru magecraft girls, the "you can debilitatingly curse a person by their hair" spell was definitely OP (not for the player, but for the evil witches (sidhe?)), because the evil witches could quite easily collect hair of almost all other witches, because the setting had a very open society where it's easy for sidhe-aligned students to nab hair of other students while they go to the same colleges. If people in the setting know such a spell exists, then they should seal themselves up in suits that prevent collection of their body tissue, or by some other means isolate themselves from untrusted witches more.
>>96867845That just sounds someone hated being put into a retarded PvP scenario, not that they hate preparation. This is such a wild tangent that I'm wondering if you might be drunk or high.
>>96867913That sounds like bullshit to me.
>>96867724>>96867811>>96867883does this guy not know how to reply to posts?
>>96867896>>96867913>>96867929Yep. Triggered bitches. Mad that cunning > fighting. Absolute efficiency > long ass combat. Cunning and efficiency is all that matters. The future of warfare is some fat fuck sitting behind a computer masturbating to pictures of anime girls as he directs drones to annihilate villages of peaceful sand people a thousand miles away across an entire fucking ocean.
>>96867929Being thrown into unexpected variables is a hallmark of irl violence (“the fog of war”) >>96867941How new to 4chan are you buddy
>>96867858I don't believe your OC exists. There is only one way to prove me wrong.
>>96867946Preparation isn't some bullshit mystery, preparation is what all adults learn. Even you must learn to be able to prepare for things you do instead of waiting to be helped out by a mysterious fat anime savior. Your problem is learned helplessness.
>>96867893Crafters aren’t loved. Anons hate the people who give them their free powers and shit. Anons don’t even know what the word artificial means, or denotes.
>>96867962Yeah you’re coping. A person prepping for a fight with a gun is going to kill the moron who came to the fight with his fists (maybe because the guy with the gun said he wouldn’t come with a gun). The most famous Samurai in history won 60 duels in a row because he realized that martial combat is for fags and surprise is all that matters in combat.
If you’re sufficiently intelligent you can stop a fight from happening altogether. You might even be able to stop the fight as it happens. Seconds after.
Maybe I should post the hottest garbage bait again... this thread deserves nothing less.
>>96867974This is learned helplessness. Why can this mysterious anime savior learn the mysteries of preparation, but you cannot? You have two arms and legs, you should be able to learn how to fight with a gun yourself if that is what you need. Consider that even a typical functional adult can prepare for things to a decent degree, but you cannot. Why is that?
>>96867989that's not even remotely relevant to any of you tards, lmao
>>96867737Crafterjeets are the exact opposite of this. You think your tech is always a no limits easy mode do anything button while you sit and goon in your goon cave, and you won't shut up about it. Thats why youre hated.
>>96867956around 5 years i think, started with /ic/ now only /tg/, i know you are trying to sound like some experienced guy but in the last month i noticed this trend of someone who is clearly responding to a specific post but for some reason does not do that directly
He’s pretty funny for a shitposter ngl
>>96868002>>96868020>>96868035Yep. Bitches.
>>96868048He's probably drunk.
>>96863439There are a group of Sabbat Salubri who hunt down any members of clan Tremere as vengeance for the Tremere Diablrie of their founder. Verona didn't do anything.

>>96868214>CAPTCHA: TORAJ
>>96867281Hmm, not sure if this would hold true for the cyoa version, but VtM rules are Salubri don't develop their 3rd eye till they advance far enough into the clan specific disciplines of Valeren or Obeah.

>>96868524Old, tired.Consider this:>Sonic the Hedgehog vs Lord of the RingsHow would he fare? Could he deliver the ring at sonic speed into Mt. Doom, or would he be seducted by its evil promises of power? Or would Sonic be a creature of Morgoth's making to begin with?
>>96868446Fate canonically has an infinite multiverse so literally every outcome exists in that series. So, yes, Anon. There is an infinite number of universes where you bag Rin, Sakura, and Seiba at the same time. But there is also an infinite number of universes where Gilgamesh and Shirou/Archer cuck you instead as you get infinitely varying DEAD END's.
>>96868552Its worse than that, Gil modifies image builds people make, calls them "canonical outcomes", he has a fucking folder of the things. Dont make female builds for his cyoa
>>96868582I have never in my life seen someone make an image build for a Gil's cyoa.

>>96868670No WrongHe doesn’t want a case of wormdick
>>96868676hes posted about how much he loves Sakura constantly
>>96868684Lies and slander; Medea is his one and only
I thought it was aro?
>>96868697no, its Aro that loves gil
vtm and cultivation are weirdly similar in some respects. Mainly how the immortals do their thing.
>>96868730I don't think so? The main deal of VtM is about vampires trying to exist, hidden, in a society they manipulate but that would destroy them if they were found out. I've never actually read a cultivation novel but from what I've seen, cultivators are always the best thing ever and recognized as such by everyone. As far as stories/settings about immortals go, they're pretty far apart.
>>96868651So that's why. Are there any other authors than Tok and Gil that have done this? What would bring a person to do that?>>96868676...
>>96868686Anon you can literally go find his constant posts about sakura back in the day, he was really annoying about it on discord too
>>96868712Aro will never accept no for an answer
>>96868743How does it compare to Luminary
>>96868747I refuse to believe his desire is to stick his dick into a pile of worms

Xianxia experts: in xianxia works, how do cultivators relate to nations and other political entities? Do they just pretend they don't exist? Do nations still have normal armies that have nothing to do with cultivators, and the armies and cultivators just don't have reason to interact (fight)?
>>96868829Depends on the setting, sometimes nations are owned by powerful cultivators, sometimes they're owned by clans/sects, sometimes they're openly ruled by clans>normal armiesThey tend to have some low wuxia stuff and be used as fodder to show how powerful something is

>>96868969I get what you're saying. As a local lord myself, I feel duty-bound to instead protect my peasant. There are so many horrors in the world beyond the boundary of his farm, the damnable Goths and Magyars and French. On my watch, they will never touch my peasant. His boiled beets are delicious, I can feel the love that went into them. I will protect his smile.
>>96868829generally, mortal affairs stay separate from the world of cultivation, and even the lowliest of cultivators are above mortal royaltythe mortals mostly do their own things but are still used by cultivators for various tasks, the primary one of which is just providing new talents for sects

>>96869003>the primary one of which is just providing new talents for sectsWouldn't it make sense for the cultivator sects to:* institute a global state that produces as many new people as possible, in a pipelined birthing/nurturing system* institute a testing system within the global state to assess every child for their potentialso they mazimize the production of new cultivators per time unit? even if the goal is not the count but the quality, then higher yield still means you can set the cutoff point higher too, so quality still rises compared to a normal world with fewer candidates
>>96862849What's the point of diabelrie in this, if there aren't generation limits on disciplines, outside of extras like Dominate not working on you? With Potent you almost get double the blood pool of a 4th gen anyway.

>>96869079>wants to penetrate a man
>>96869035>* institute a testing system within the global state to assess every child for their potentialWe could easily do this in the real world yet don't. Arguably it would be even easier and more beneficial for us as compared to cultivators.But sects tend to have open tests and such, yes. It's just the process for joining a sect and cultivating in general is usually very nepotism based. Not only does your bloodline/genetics usually matter, it's also extremely resource dependent. Even if you wanted to nurture some rando, you have limited resources. Having some random mortal off the street actually manage to become a high ranking cultivator is rare. And if that does happen, well then what? How do you ensure their loyalty? Why would (you) waste money on some fucker you've never met when you could improve your own cultivation or your son's? Why did you decide it was a good idea to make someone stronger than you?Sects appear united, but inter faction conflict is a given in Xianxia.Mortals are also used to do typical slave/servant things, like tending crops or whatever, so you can't just make them all cultivators.And again, no real world society ever minmaxed this hard despite arguably needing the benefits more and having fewer drawbacks.

>>96869084Vivec? Is that you?
>>96862849This version of the build should be legal if I haven't overlooked anything. Some of the choices have been changed in accordance with the impairment limit, the starter path rules, and the Koldunic Sorcery rules.

>>96869117To be fair, Vivec is a hermaphrodite (a male futa) and his ultimate fantasy is to lose the penis and to be Nerevar's fully devoted wife forever, and pretty much every shitty thing he ever did is a seething man-woman moment in response to getting rejected.
>>96869126Here is an alternate version that sacrifices worse curses (silver and fire) to reach five ancient disciplines post-chronicles. Ultimately I didn't go with it because I don't think curses are really worth the risk for anything less than affinities.

>>96869815You can't prove that I didn't not say it.
>>96866236>You can lower any curse except the sun by 1 tier or remove ANY tier 1 curse.I'm fairly confident that it was not intended that way (there's no sensible reason for such a distinction between removal vs weakening of the sun curse), but it is indeed what it says, technically.
>>96868975There is literally nothing stopping you from using 3, then using the Tails side to cancel it, returning the coin, and then taking another 3 coins. You can literally use all of them just not all at the same time.
>>96869834No shit, sherlock.
>>96869840It's a shit cyoa with a false premise.
>>96869827Another exploit like that...oh, yeah, it's actually from the same build!>>96863658>Potent of the Blood >Unlikely Alterations x3 (...Salicious to Noxiousness) Obviously, the reason Potent of the Blood says that you can't reduce the Salacious curse is because people are just sensing the fact that you have really potent blood. But it doesn't technically say the curse can't be swapped!
>>96869869Salacious is a nothing burger with the right disciplines or sorcery
>>96869852How is it a false premise? Take too many rings and spooks will come for your ass, that is very dangerous.
>>96869869"You may switch ANY [Curse] (except [The Sun]) for a different [Curse] at the same Tier."It's also mentioned that Blood Sorcery can switch around curses too.
>>96869965"Take 3" is a false premise. You can use all of them, so choosing 3 in the moment like presented is giving you a false premise, since you can just switch them out at your leisure. For normal use take the spawnable slut and charisma one, then if you ever need something specific, like let's say you really want to kill someone, swap out for a murderkill build. Want to impersonate someone? Swap for that build. Want to travel the world? Swap to a traveler build. Want to learn XYZ skill? Swap to a learning build with hidden library. Using tails to remove the effects means you'd lose hidden library knowledge, true, but you can also just get a clockwork/networking build up and give yourself a bunch of robotic servants and super upgrade your PC and create a crypto mining program etc etc and benefit from that after canceling your technomancy abilities.
>>96869999Fair enough. I'm inclined to disagree but I can't argue in good faith with quads.
>>96869882Which Sorceries/Disciplines counteract it.
>>96870039Obfuscate and the one Assamite path that covers your scent. Also, you shouldn't be in a situation where someone can get away with snacking on you anyway.
>>96870068Bane salacious makes your very presence irresistible not just your scent.
>>96862849Is madness really as much of a trap option as some anons have said? The Malkavian contacts Hansel and Tilly are complete opposites, and I don't know which one is closer to the "average" Malkavian, if such a thing exists.
>>96870085Obfuscate can hide it but isn't it an active blood using power?
>>96862849I know Ventrue aren't built for getting into combat, but having THREE common disciplines does make them seem really weak from a point balance perspective. Like they have the least effective discounts out of any clan since they just get three -1 costs on the cheapest options. Anyone with a discount on uncommon or obscure disciplines or on blood sorceries is effectively stronger.
>>96870068>Also, you shouldn't be in a situation where someone can get away with snacking on you anywayIf you become a target a vampire might literally spend years planning his hunt.
>>96870093They are a pure social type, which has actually worked out really well for them in lore.
>>96870088Mechanically they're forced to have one permanent Derangement. These can vary from relatively minor mental illnesses to raving madness. So if you get to pick your Derangement it can be 'not that bad' but if you don't then it's a total gamble.
>>96870097I'm aware of that, that's why I pointed out that I'm talking about from a point balance perspective. They have the weakest discounts and thus have the least points to play with in the CYOA.
>>96870088There is no such thing as an "average" Malkavian. It's a raw deal but a lot of people like them and they are one of the most iconic clans of VtM.
>>96870102Unless Sylen starts truly contradicting the lore there isn't much he can do to balance it. We unlock new disciplines way too easy though which doesn't really bode well for the fact that the ventrues real power is simply having access to dominate and presence at the same time.
>>96870102>>96870093I would like to add that this is true regardless of the fact that the final cost of an affinity is almost the same between common, rare, and obscure disciplines. This is because purchasing common disciplines out-of-affinity (which almost certainly will happen) is cheaper, and because the number and kind of affinities one can have is (rightly) incredibly important to the core nature of one's build.
>>96870123Only real thing that could balance it is giving bonus points to clans with a bad collection of disciplines.
>>96870139I could see ventrue getting some free dark gifts maybe since the clan is so wealthy and powerful.
>>96870093I'm pretty sure rare and obscure disciplines only cost more because they're harder to find teachers for/harder to copy from people you've seen. Affinity wise it works out the same though. All disciplines are equally good tools in the situations they are used for.
>>96870158Except when you're buying out-of-affinity disciplines because of course you are, you want to be good at a lot of things. Then the Ventrue end up being mechanically one of the worst clans.
>>96870167What do you mean? Every clan only gets 3 in-clan disciplines.
>>96870173Because if you're a Ventrue who wants to buy an out of clan Discipline like Protean, that's mechanically worse than a Gangrel who wants to buy an out of clan Discipline like Potence.
>>96869986>"You may switch ANY [Curse] (except [The Sun]) for a different [Curse] at the same Tier."Yes, I know it works by the wording of the choices involved. It also seems fairly obvious to me, given the underlying conceptual nature of what's involved, that the inability to reduce the Salacious curse would also logically entail an inability to get rid of it by other similar means even if they're not phrased as a reduction. Hence calling it an exploit - something the game mechanics as implemented do allow, but which was not intended to be the case >>96870092>Obfuscate can hide it but isn't it an active blood using power?In general it uses blood, although there's also the thing where lower-level applications of a power may use less or no blood as you become more advanced in the discipline. I think my bigger problem with that answer is kind of munchkiny behavior it implies, that people are essentially suggesting they will be focusing on mystically concealing their true nature 100% of the time they interact with anyone else in this world. (Barring perhaps a few trusted exceptions). Yeah, if you can do that, I guess it might work. Human beings don't generally like to be 'on guard' like that all the time though, and I think if the hypothetical person were actually incarnated into the world that strategy would fall by the wayside rather quickly.
>>96870173Yes, and buying common disciplines out of affinity is much cheaper than buying rare/obscure disciplines out of affinity. That means the Ventrue are somewhat more limited in their choices than other builds. There are only so many common disciplines, and how well any particular discipline works with your build will vary.If you happen to only want common disciplines, you'll be just as powerful as another build that makes good use of affinities. But if you don't, you will be weaker than a build of another clan would be.>Gen 5 Tzimisce purchases Elder Auspex, Animalism, and Vicissitude.>Then he also purchases Ancilla Fortitude.>Gen 5 Ventrue purchases Elder Dominate, Fortitude, and Presence.>Then he also purchases Neonate Vicissitude.>He can't afford Ancilla Vicissitude.
Incidentally, what is the point of the base-level Promised to Another choice in Behind the Scenes? It seems to offer both a mechanical disadvantage (-3 fame) and a practical downside (You will be the target of great animosity, bullying, and contempt), with no corresponding benefit I can see.

>>96870266>HeadcannonCanon, from the ancient greek κανών, "a measuring rod, a level." Cannon is from κάννα, "a reed."

>>96870358that's a shit way to balance unless you want some approaches to just be better than othersis a ventrue supposed to be a trap choice?
