>>97004626Why do you hate OC so much Threadfaggot?
>>97004675>sissies are back
>>97004681>Yes. As said earlier, a fated success is worth nothing to me. In fact it has negative value - no self-actualization can be derived from something so divorced from my own efforts.Then why spawn in with any powers at all then? Why don't you just earn your powers like everyone else does? Like you said "no self-actualization can be derived from something so divorced from my own efforts.">Then I die again. That's the game. Who knows, we might get reincarnated again. I don't need my adventure to go on forever to have meaning.You might be reincarnated again, but why take the chance? I don't engage in RNG concerning my life.>That's the part where I become the old legend now living in a remote village. Probably take up blacksmithing while forming the new generation as an instructor. How am I suppose to die surrounded by friends and family if I'm immortal? Living the same story forever sounds incredibly horrifying.There is more to life than just adventuring. There is so much to live for and so many things to enjoy, but so little time to enjoy it. Like if I became immortal I would spend lifetimes worth of times to enjoy and master a single skill like singing and then move on to another skill and then go on and on until I have lived and experienced everything life has to offer. It would be a never ending quest of pleasure and perfection. Nothing prevents me from becoming an adventure instructor and guiding the next generation. I would want to do that until I become the perfect instructior and then I would want to move on, onto somehting else. While you would only get to experience such a minuscule part of what I would get to enjoy.
>>97004675Imagine becoming female without immortality. Let's say you spawn in at 15 years, then you have about 10 years where you are pretty and cute. After that, you're just an old unfuckable hag.

I'd hate to steamroll someone who trained his whole life because I picked Martial Instinct or whatever. What kind of win is this? The concept of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.>You might be reincarnated again, but why take the chance?So you never try things unless you have 100% chance it works? No "Alright, I'll go to the bar this time", no "I'll move to chase my dreams this year" no impulsive choices following your guts? I'd say that's closer to leaps of faith than RNG. You'll never know what you're capable of without trying it first, and your tactic cut off more paths than mine. >Like if I became immortal I would spend lifetimes worth of times to enjoy and master a single skill like singing and then move on to another skill and then go on and on until I have lived and experienced everything life has to offer. It would be a never ending quest of pleasure and perfection.Meh. There is always a next dream, a next wish. You can live until the heat death of the universe without grasping perfection - your subjective definition will change across the years too. Besides, if I really can do ANYTHING, then what's the point of doing it? Saving the orphan, killing the orphan, transforming the orphan into a pretzel - there is no longer any meaning to the choices since I know I'll get to pick something else next time.M'yes, I think that's my core issue with your rationale. It takes away choices, in a sense.>While you would only get to experience such a minuscule part of what I would get to enjoy.We don't need to experience "as much" or "less" than the next person though. It's kinda sad you need infinite time to have meaning.

Resultantly our stature diminished and our hunger grew, as our bodies required more upkeep to resist the cursed and hostile environment, though we integrated the negative mana in kind, giving us access to abilities unnatural to others. I revel in challenge and suffering, a faint echo of that original disaster that first forced us to adapt and change. My cursed existence lets me mutate at will into a horrifically fused demonic and vampiric form, while channeling my and my party’s suffering to improve my abilities and physical form, eventually rivalling the stature of my tribe’s original visage. Additionally, any who wishes to attack my mind has to fight against the malevolent magic that permeates my body; and while that puts a strain on my body, the resultant bleeding forms retaliatory slimes all the same, to attack any who try to defile my sanctity of mind.
>>97004808Hailing from a magical wasteland, I have been taught well both how to survive and how to glean decent meals from even the most barren surrounds, and I possess a near encyclopedic knowledge of monster traits and tendencies from the my home’s unfortunate fauna and flora that mutated similarly, if more chaotically, than we did. Forever seeking greater challenges as I do, it was the natural choice to join the Fearless in taking on the Spire. Among my companions, I find the greatest kinship with Hiyori, for she pursues challenge with a similar fervor, even if it is for entertainment rather than my primal need to improve myself.
>>97004797Wait wasn't this CYOA multiplayer? How does it work if everyone takes the same companions?
>>97004834I'm pretty sure people were just treating it as multiplayer because there weren't companions.
>>97004807Eh, at least his core argument makes sense despite the undercurrent of thanatophobia. Of course you'd choose to play more five more minutes outside with your friends. Of course you don't want to face the cessation of your being. Of course you want to experience too many things for your single measly lifetime.Almost all of us flirted with that logic at least once.
>>97004877
>>97004763Is there any proof vampires are immortals?
>>97004799>I do tend to go in without powersSo you don't pick a single thing in a CYOA? You only use the settings in CYOAs and nothing else? Like, if you don't, then that would be unfair to everyone else who had to work for their skills, items, powers, etc. In other words, you are the ideal person according to 0^0>So you never try things unless you have 100% chance it works?If my life is on the line, hell no, I don't. If my life is not on the line, then faligure is to be expected before mastery is achieved. Success will teach you nothing, but failure will always make you better if you analyze your mistakes.>There is always a next dream, a next wish. You can live until the heat death of the universe without grasping perfection - your subjective definition will change across the years too. Yes, that is what makes life beautiful. There are endless things you could achieve and endless experiences to have. >Besides, if I really can do ANYTHING, then what's the point of doing it? Saving the orphan, killing the orphan, transforming the orphan into a pretzel - there is no longer any meaning to the choices since I know I'll get to pick something else next time.In short, the meaning of life is whatever you make of it. If you don't have something to live for life will seem pointless to you. But if you have something to live for, then your actions will reflect that purpose. You are also somewhat of a hypocrite; you act like my choices do not matter because I am immortal. Yet you count on getting another life after already being reincarnated once and persumably expect to be reincarnated again and again. If that were the case, I would say my choices matter more because my choices are tied to a single, long, immortal life. Your actions mean less because you have multiple lives which each can be lived however you want. If I do cruel and evil things, that will ruin my reputation, while you could just live as a lawless bandit and then die to escape the consequences.
>>97004942He's a lost cause. Give up.
>>97004932Do you assume dragons cannot breathe fire if it is not explicitly stated in a CYOA?
>>97004973Correct, and if the CYOA says your mommy/mentor/sire/waifu will protect you and keep you safe, nothing could ever happen that contradicts that statement.
>>97004973Anon, vampires are infinitely varied, these ones for example have a cursed disease. Same for dragons, there are tons unable to breath fire.Now I'm remembering the wave of shitposting when EA said you had to sleep even if you became undead, without sleepless.
>>97004804I don't think so. That seems to be your fantasy, since you are so obsessed with being able to die
>>97005000This post has reached levels of retardation I didn't think were possible.
>>97005027What do you expect from someone who has succumbed to old age addling his brain?If they CYOA doesn't explicitly say that gravity exists you might very well float into space.
>>97004942>Like, if you don't, then that would be unfair to everyone else who had to work for their skills, items, powers, etc.It's a matter of scale. Again, there is a difference between having pocket money and styling over Vader.>Success will teach you nothing, but failure will always make you better if you analyze your mistakes.Agreed....which makes it all the more weird to me you go with the predestined successes. >Yes, that is what makes life beautiful. There are endless things you could achieve and endless experiences to have.Not really. Life ends unless you're a monocellular organism. Making choices that pertain to you despite the transient existence and unknown expiration date was always the point. Then again, it's just a different outlook, which brings us to - >In short, the meaning of life is whatever you make of it.I don't think there is a right opinion to be found here, but I'm entertained.>You are also somewhat of a hypocrite; you act like my choices do not matter because I am immortal. Yet you count on getting another life after already being reincarnated once and persumably expect to be reincarnated again and again. [...] If I do cruel and evil things, that will ruin my reputation, while you could just live as a lawless bandit and then die to escape the consequences.Nah, it's a possibility, that's all. Being reincarnated ad eternam is spirital immortality and I'd refuse him for the same reasoning. Going to oblivion past the second one is fine.>If that were the case, I would say my choices matter more because my choices are tied to a single, long, immortal life. Your actions mean less because you have multiple lives which each can be lived however you want.That's assuming I'm a sociopathic guy looking to escape my situation over and over again. I'd still feel guilt, regret and everything else though. Assuming I get only a few lives. With infinite retries, I'll get to the sanity slippage too eventually.
>>97005027>>97005038Entropist was a better cyoa than anything you've ever made.
>>97004763Skill issue, just choose an immortal race
What is the cyoag consensus on the best of the four classical elements?
>>97005055Ok and? Doesn't change how retarded you are. Dragons have fire breath, if they don't they have another element, and if they don't have even that then they are not dragons. Entropist is a really good cyoa, but that doesn't change the fact the things the author said afterwards are retarded and make no sense, and also contraddict things in the cyoa itself as well as things he said himself before.
>>97005027Just saying the truth,vampires not being undead makes it dubious they have all common characteristic (considering normal powers and weaknesses come from the power section and the trait section).
>>97005071Depends on what you want to do and how they're used in the cyoa, if you just control the element it's air for fighting, earth for building.
>>97005065There are none since there is no immortality in the racial strengths section
Full CYOA: https://imgchest.com/p/xny8eknv5yb
>>97005071Depends how far you take it. If they also include derivate or evolved elements then air, usually that turns into lighting. Otherwise earth is probably more practical.
>>97005071Earth is the best element in most situations simply because it involves minerals and metals. Techfriends stay winning.
I am sure to beat the other anons in Conquest because my speed is superior
>>97005071But at the same time there is nothing stating that the races are mortal so if we are assuming a vampire is immortal by default than the same assumption can be made for a elf, demon or some other magical race

Speaking of Steal Flesh, I am making a few assumptions on how it works, one being that my base durability doesn’t matter (hence taking Frail) and that crucially the bonus strength and durability is based on nutritional needs OR poison resistance, not both (I wouldn’t take fast metabolism otherwise). I didn’t plan on it going in but monk has great social talents with the drunken aura and the gentle soul trait, so I speced my skills to benefit. So definitely a jolly monk the livens the mood and seeks enlightenment, less of a self-insert than I planned but still fun.

Authors include classes because they want to have variety in builds, and in the process, destroy all variety by forcing people into pre-designated paths for powers instead of letting them pick freely.

>>97005901>and in the process, destroy all variety by forcing people into pre-designated paths for powers instead of letting them pick freely.Strong agree>Authors include classes because they want to have variety in buildsI don't think it's even that. It's just that many obvious inspirations, like D&D and vidya, have classes, and so, having classes is the default starting point for the cyoa author. The decision to include a class system is made without much conscious thought to it.

I'm giving up on reading Lord of the Mysteries at chapter 20. I might watch the anime instead, if it ever finishes.I expected something more, for how big a readership it got? When I read them, to me it felt that for example Worm and especially Unsong chased a unique artistic vision each, LotM doesn't feel that way, it feels more "serial fiction where serial fictiony things happen".And the writing style keeps bothering me.

>>97007580>the second is iffier, you lack haruhime's bs spellsThe author did say he made Raise with Ais’ Ariel in mind, but whether he meant it to be as potent/powerful, I’m not sure. Regardless, it’s listed as a short tier 1 spell, meaning if Raise is raised (lol) with Metamagic to tier 3 status then it should have just as much potential or level boosting power as Haruhime’s own, and you should be able to use it on yourself (like Ais’ Ariel) as well (a drawback most enchanters like Hedin or Haruhime can’t do). You should also be able to lace (via Metamagic) Raise with Spirit Fire for a spirit fire themed Ariel - and this wouldn’t be reduced by elemental resistances (this should also mean that it eats through Ais’ Ariel since the wind element counts as an elemental resistance) as explained in the text. Even anti mages like Bete would be at a loss against you - the author (of the manga/anime) also said Ais with Ariel is usually going to beat Bete.

>>97007811Typical anime does that shit anon. Anime loves unrealistically talented youths being better than the adults. There are canonically eight year olds being allowed into the Dungeon, lmaooo.

>There are canonically eight year olds being allowed into the Dungeon, lmaooo. someone send over child protection services
>>97007864Avatar is a kids show based on Asian-ism lol. The kids are meant to save the day. This sort of immature cancer isn’t exclusive to Japan it’s just more so pronounced over there. Over here it’s pronounced in areas like capeshit (although even in capeshit you have bad ass old people - modern day anime veers away from bad ass adults aside from long running franchises like Bleach or One Piece). >TophShe’s a prodigy. The strongest earth bender is that old ass king. Bumi or whatever. Elder Toph should be more powerful or experienced than younger Toph (but probably not prime adult Toph since Avatar assumes elemental bending is an extension of your muscles).

>>97007953Outer Reincarnation.
>>97007895>but probably not prime adult Toph since Avatar assumes elemental bending is an extension of your musclesNo. Physical strength does not correlate to bending ability, The Boulder is a giant muscular man and hes a weaker earthbender than Toph, a little girl.Aang, a litle boy without any muscles, is also an incredibly potent bender. Hama, a frail old woman, is a powerful water bender. Bending IS a martial art, it has a physical component. But its not about how strong or muscular you are, its about mental discipline, philosophical understanding and the training to have your body carry out what you need to do. Its not a strongman tournament, its a "kata" from karate
>>97007953All of them, because (You) and (Waifu) are going through endless reincarnations.Polaris, Charlotte, Pasille, Zynthia, Dido, Alta, Narra-chan - that's her builds.
Alright so to clarify Yes abilities that affect allies can affect you (so you can heal yourself)Yes Hiyori should be tits out but I don't wanna get banned I would say vampires are not inherently immortal I would say embers alone are not enough for immortality, but there are some avenues for immortality that involve embers
>>97008022Great, horrores is fine.
>>97007710>"I can fix her"She has nothing to fix, you are just making yourself a cuck into used goods. She's not crazy, just sad.
>>97008022>all your waifus are actually the same personHow are you supposed to react to this information?
>>97008040This is fake.
>>97008060So haremfagging was the right choice and the only way to avoid quantum ntr?
>>97008010>No. Physical strength does not correlate to bending abilityIt absolutely does. Old benders more than once say shit like “I’d beat you even harder were I in my prime”, and Toph is one of them. Bumi seems to be the sole exception.
>>97008060You don't, it's not real.
>>97008040So how does multiplayer work here exactly, do you just not take companions?
>>97008040alright man than you a lot.
>>97008010I think he’s saying bending ability correlates with your health, not literal muscle strength, anon. So yes, an old bender that’s physically weaker than their past youthful self will be “weaker” at their element. Because elemental bending takes a toll on the body.I do find this stupid, though. It would have been cooler had elemental benders retire and isolated themselves. Senior Toph shouldn’t be weaker than an adult Toph. I don’t like that.
>>97008081>It absolutely does.It doesent, once again Toph as a little girl was dunking on giant wrestlers. There is a physical component to bending, all things being equal someone in their physical prime - with more stamina, agility, and better reflexes, is going to be a superior bender. That is not the same thing as "it is to do with how physically strong you are".The muscles that benders have are simply a result of the fact that the training for bending also strengthens the body.
>>97008084Same way the Convention acts when figuring out pic related.>>97008078Only if we assume that in this hypothetical scenario, (Waifu) is inside all of them at once. Otherwise she's probably getting cucked at some point statistically speaking.
>>97008010>Hama, a frail old woman, is a powerful water bender. She lost to a little girl, lol. Remember this is a kid’s show. Elemental bending doesn’t age like wine. Although in my opinion it should.
>>97008138That is also not real.
>>97008129>It doesent, once again Toph as a little girl was dunking on giant wrestlers. It does. You’re missing the point. Senior Toph is weaker than adult Toph. This has nothing to do with how physically strong a person is. Toph is stronger than the Boulder because she’s a stronger earth bender, not because she’s physically stronger than the Boulder.
>>97008054You fix her broken heart, homo.
>>97007835Matterfag warning, please remain calm.
>>97008138>Same way the Convention acts when figuring out pic related.Containment? Kill order?
It’s cooler when wizards are more due to their age. Like vampires.
>>97004749Best class?
>>97007710I'd prefer to fight a 2v1 against her alive but brainwashed-by-Dungeon husband, then send them off back to their happily ever after.
>>97008081Bending is partially spiritual. It's canon that the sole reason Sokka isn't a waterbender is because he's completely lacking in spiritualism, and otherwise he would be one (though without his sister's talent.) If someone is more spiritual in old age than in their prime, they'll be a better Bender, though they might still suffer for their age. If they were as spiritual in their prime as a senior, then the only advantage they'll have is experience while their physical ability and maybe even their bending will be lesser.
>>97008129>There is a physical component to bending, all things being equal someone in their physical prime - with more stamina, agility, and better reflexes, is going to be a superior benderAnd this is why Avatar sucks. Eventually you shouldn’t even need to do martial arts to bend your element. You should be so in tune with your surrounding element you can just shrug it someone else’s way. Similar to how the Sith eventually forego lightsabers since their potential is a lot lower than sheer Force ability. They only use them to mock the Jedi. An elder bender shouldn’t need to move much at all. Similar to how ancient sages in China just breathed to control the wind. No motion needed. All internal.
>>97008142>She lost to a little girlLittle girls being known for their muscles.
>>97008193>If someone is more spiritual in old age than in their prime, they'll be a better Bender, though they might still suffer for their ageThis implies Toph is more physical and less spiritual.
>>97008200that neck strength be crazy
>>97008182Arsenal. One of the traits is just straight up "You're just better".
>>97008210Toph isn't a super spiritual person, she's not Bumi who's completely immersed in the mindset of his element, or one of the various other elders.
>>97008195>Eventually you shouldn’t even need to do martial arts to bend your element.You don't. Bumi can earthbend by twitching his nose.
>>97008200You appear to be too stupid to do the necessary nuance to follow this conversation along properly. Muscle mass period does not correlate with bending strength, but one does become a weaker bender when their muscles lessen. This is what they mean when they say that elemental bending is an extension of their muscles - or more accurately the self. It’s not ritualist magic totally impersonal from the martial.
>>97008162First, that's not an "I can fix her" girl, she needs to be crazy for that. Second, you also don't fix a broken heart like that. She will always feel guilty and think about her dead husband even if she loves you, it's cucked.
>>97008227Yeah that’s stupid. She’s living in a fucking swamp by the time of Korra. She should be fucking Yoda. She’s also blind. She should be more spiritual than martial. And this is assuming spirituality can even make up for one’s aging / loss of health.
>>97008239Sounds like you're not dicking her good enough.
>>97008232They should have demonstrated this more then. Like with how Toph just needs to move her feet to bury you in earth. But “hur dur I’m weaker as an old lady hur dur” so…
>>97008257Nobody is going to argue Korra is any good, anon.
If Avatar had actually good writing and world building the pinnacle of elemental bending would end with the bender becoming one with their element, or ascending to spirit status, ditching their humanity entirely. The Avatar shouldn’t even be human. But it is. Whatever. It’s a kid’s show. Humans need to be identifiable.
>>97008239She might love you more than she loved her dead fiance, you don't know.
>>97008299She loved someone else before me. That's Lionheart all over again...

>>97008317It’s weird. Both east and west had this alchemical obsession with internally perfecting the inner self, and not just perfecting the outside world, but for whatever reason the Chinese focused on martial autism (yes Kung Fu) while Westerners wanted to unite with the divine, meet the Godhead, or escape it.
>>97008402“I love the body”“I hate the body”
>>97008402The East also wants to do that. The weird autism you have with them 'liking kungfu' is you misunderstanding. They 'do kungfu' because they believe the body is a conduit of and tied to the spirit. Exercising and meditating properly can enhance the spirit and help bring enlightenment. The west, despite the "The body is a temple!" Christianity stuff, basically view the body, and everything physical and material, as innately poisoned and sinful. So they saw no point and believed there was no advantage to, training the body.

>>97008452Once a naive young adventurer, this man's path was forever changed by his discovery of the cursed demonic blade of the Iron Chef.Now, his life is ruled by the influence of this dark weapon.Every day, he must push himself further in the pursuit of culinary excellence. Hellfire unleashes the true potential of meat in a way that lesser flames never could but this alone is no guarantee that he can meet the cleaver's inhuman standards. Every day the blade's fell voice rings out in his mind, delivering lectures on the Path of the Iron Chef. Every night he must try and ignore its ravings to find rest, as it curses the many fools who never appreciated its genius.But perhaps all this could have been bearable, were it not for its accompanying magick. The weapon has also gifted him a mighty body of metal, granting him the power to crush his enemies and laugh off their blows... But leaving him unable to taste any of the meals that he puts his soul into crafting. This is made all the worse as the blade doesn't want its food going to waste, and the reactions of others make it clear what he's missing. The weapon's magic has removed his ability and need for eating but the desire still remains. Mortal minds weren't meant for such torment.His one hope, perhaps, lies in the legendary Spire, for rumors suggest that it may hold the key to escaping such a demonic curse. And so he has set forth with a band of adventurers who are well pleased with the bounty that is set before them daily... But only time will tell if this story may grow darker yet when their feast's end looms in the future.Fun CYOA. The story I wanted to do came to mind almost immediately as I read it.

>>97008433>The East also wants to do that. The weird autism you have with them 'liking kungfu' is you misunderstandingNot really. In the last century monks legit thought they could deflect bullets using their chi. They couldn’t. Communists destroyed them and shat on Buddhism. External alchemy is just far more powerful than internal alchemy. They refused to see this. The western alchemical mindset, even when inner or spiritual, still saw the external world as massively outweighing the self. The eastern mindset didn’t really. You have Buddhism as a parallel to Gnosticism in that they both seem to escape a perceived “flawed” world, but Buddhism is also an incredibly arrogant (if less nihilistic) belief system compared to Gnosticism, and people want to become Buddha way too hard. This obsession with martialism is inherent to the E. Asian mindset. The Westerner is more practical/worldly.

Warrior is a nice class, and I almost went with it directly, but my main interest is the Armor focus and the possibility of being a spell blade really appeals to me. A key synergy is that with the warrior ability and the encased trait my gear is self repairing. With that said I was a little frustrated with the companion section as to really shine my particular build needs an engineer to supply me with good armor. Wouldn’t you know it the one engineer companion only has basic Armory skill. I know the companions can’t supply every possible build but having the one engineer (the most critical support class) go master master on Ballistics and Alchemy is annoying as hell and even the flavor text indicates the companion is suboptimal. Making her faction locked and with a serpent body plan is just salt in the wounds IMO.
>>97008570Yeah, a BIG FUCKING spirit larger than nature as you know it. Totally larger than your gay nature spirits which are isolated to trees and rivers and rocks, lmaooo. One again Christians keep winning. You argue we’re shamans but we can just as easily argue we’re the bigger and better shamans too. God’s spirit > a fucking tree

Alright so it seems Arsenal is still really good cause of the flexibility and stacking different specialisations I think I'll add a choice of unique abilities for each class that the Arsenal won't get
>>97008991Why are you so intent in making the cyoa worse?
>>97008991yesss
>>97008991Arsenal is good because it lets you make real choices. It's letting you design the house when all the other classes do is let you choose the color of paint for the walls.
>>97008893Because you shouldn’t have or need to take drugs, or have frightening seizures, to communicate with angels, gods or other entities? Shamans are incredibly feminine (this is why Norse sorcery is seen as feminine; it’s a callback to earlier shamanic times). Priests are masculine. One is a lot more immature than the other. A god or spirit that takes over random people, causing them to spaz out or scream cringe and incomprehensible languages isn’t really practical… A god or spirit manifesting as a burning bush, or a white dove. that speaks fluently comes across as something more professional.

I will still stick with Arsenal regardless. Honestly seems to me that the CYOA would've been better with just allowing everyone to make their own custom class instead of having a list of prebuilt ones. Still great however.
>>97008991Arsenal is the only fun class, the rest are too restrictive.
Jesus is inside all of us. We’re all shaman. :)
>>97009036Why only 4 traits?
>>97008991Please don't. Just don't.
>>97009065Temperance is a virtue.
>>97009036You have a good point I think I'll add branches to the various class abilities to give more choices to people, like picrel It'll be a shitload more work though
>>97004749Shopping list cyoa
>>97008991Other classes have unwanted specializations (example: who the fuck cares about basic summons?). Arsenal has no such problem.
>>97009093And that's a good thing
>>97008991It won't change anything.
>>97009065Most traits are garbage.
>>97009086answer meee >>97008385
>>97009086That would be way too much work IMO. How about something along the lines of:- Choose 2 classes. - You can now choose 4 abilities out of 8 that those 2 classes give you. - Now name your OC donutsteel class and flavor it (Warrior + Barbarian could be Juggernaut, Vampire + Warrior could be Death Knight etc., basically gives players more freedom and encourages creativity)
>>97009137>abilitiesI meant specializations
>>97009137>Choose 2 classes.You could have stopped there. That's enough, this cyoa badly needs positive things. Not everything needs to be a fucking sidegrade.
>show my tabletop group some cyoas>talk about my builds>they say this almost word for wordPain.

>>97009153Choosing from 2 pools of abilities is a massive fucking upgrade, anon, what are you even smoking
>>97009159Even your friends realized that you have shit taste in CYOAs, anon, time for a big change
>>97009137'just make the class yourself' would be extremely lame.
>>97009159Why would you show people something this pathetic
>>97009177"just choose 1 thing" is lamer IMO. What's your build?
>>97009176What cyoas won't make me a laughing stock when presenting the medium to strangers?
>>97009164Yes, but it's not enough, just give us 2 classes.
>>97009189None.

>>97009184this one >>97008743. I much prefer predefined to just making stuff up.
>>97009189Simple things from reddit.
>>97009206Could just give some kind of boost if you single-class while still allowing people to choose.
>>97009137>That would be way too much work IMOIt'll be more fun though
>>97008991>I think I'll add....should i wait for another update before working on my build?
>>97009231Welp, see you in a year
>>97004749>Abjuration>Mana Shield>Magnetic Field>Repel Flesh>block some things, let everything else through>Imprison>blocks everythingBasic ability invalidates 3 others, including an intermediate and an advanced, in its own class. How ridiculous. No wonder Arsenal is so popular.
>>97009253That's what you get when you hyperspecialize. It works in real life too, nobody can fix their fucking pipes or change a tire nowadays.
>>97004749People are sleeping on cantrips. Imagine how useful a Druidism, Alchemy, Divine Steed, Empowerment, or any Paladin cantrip could be.
>>97004749how would a fate touched succubus companion be compared to a normal succubus? in the fate touched description says you get double the positive effects, does that mean that you get 2 succubi? or your succubus becomes 2 times hotter and more powerful?
>>97009306Irrelevant because you die from double snu-snu
>>97009253Imprison can be broken though, and only works on individuals.
>>97009306Take it and find out

>>970093062 succubi >>97009237Probably not I am back to wageslavery >>97009294Yeah I kind of forgot how OP as shit they can be given some of the basic mana abilities can offer a lot of utility
>>97009086You’re way overcorrecting to solve the inherent problem of Arsenal. And, unfortunately, you’re two versions deep so you can’t nerf or remove it at this point. Best you can do is make sure each class has something that makes them worth taking as a whole, because I think Arsenal is so popular due to the specializations being better on their own.
>>97006365Give me the wealth.Not like anyone else will notice more despair in this world, but with it I can help those I do care about.If I had a problem with hurting others for my own comfort, I'd be vegan
>>97006365Skill. "always" means eternity.
>>97009346>inherent problem of ArsenalArsenal has no inherent problems. It is the other classes that are not good enough.
>>97009394So much this.
>>97008965God can't smite me because he already died of old age
>>97009137Just being able to drop one ability tree for another would be enough. Every class has at least one tree that isn't even worth going basic in.
>>97009534Tree tier list when?
>>97009545Number 1: The Larch
>>97004749>>97004211Changed my build up pretty significantly. Being a jack of all trades skill monkey just isn't as fulfilling when you can take a well balanced party in that regard. Also the drawback for 'skilled' is pretty severe.Went for more of an Arcane Warrior build (reminds me of my DA:O character) rather than my traveling adventurer from V1.Would someone mind double checking and making sure my build is valid with Battlemage? Pretty sure it is but I'm afraid I'm reading it wrong.Race: BipedalRacial Strengths:- Strong- Enduring- AttunedRacial Weaknesses:- HungryStarting Gear:- Marlinspike- BellClass: Arsenal- Empowerment (Master)- Fighting Spirit (Advance)- Curse (Basic)- Life Drain (Intermediate)Background: CitySkills:- Morale Boost- Negotiation- Locksmithing- MaintenanceTraits:- Battlemage- Everyman- Heavy Weapons Scion- Stormhearted- Specialized- Heavy Sleeper- Fast MetabolismItems: Rabbit's FootFaction: The Brotherhood of BenevolenceFirst Dungeon: The CavesCompanions:- Hiyori- Grimir Broadhoof- Korgalda- Lady Myserix Honeyglor the Fourth>>97009294Yeah there are a lot of options that don't translate to 'raw power' that are worth taking for their felxability.>>97009036Nice build and presentation. I should do something like this.>>97008694Yeah same. But pretty much all of the classes have a specialization or two I just don't care for.Also having each companion be one of the listed classes makes them seem less unique? idk.>>97008182I think Vamp and Engineer are pretty good. Monk and Warden aren't bad either.>>97007598Naisu Builderu>>97006982Yeah, being able to drop one of your specializations completely to get a +1 level in one of your remaining three.
>>97009646I don't think you need heavy weapon psion if you just have empowerment
>>97009101>who the fuck cares about basic summonsHonestly Scion would benefit largely from summons so they can distract enemies so scion can sneak around and get in backstabs.But again, this is achievable with Arsenal.>>97009086If you're considering revamping how classes work in a theoretically v3 I'd suggest looking at Surinicals Metastatic. Really enjoyed class crafting in that one.>>97009771I'd argue that you do. Otherwise it wouldn't be a Scion trait. I think the class assumes that you use smaller weapons and this trait is for the rare few that trained with bigger weapons.
>>97004749Abjurer, got defence, offence, crowd control, anti mage, and mana regen all in one.
>>97009189Button pushers always get a lot of genuine interest, in my experience.
TroyX was decent. Sometimes even great
>>97009994He was too formulaic
>>97009994The GREATEST.
>>97009996Nothing bad about that. Italics is too.
>>97010007True, but italics offers more variety in settings, while troyxs were very much palateswapping the same themes and everything.
>>97009189Pill pickers or button pushers. That is as far as the medium goes with TRUE normals. But if we are talking about weebs that know nothing of cyoas, you can get away with a simple 1 pager that asks them what anime power they would rather get, with a bunch of images of anime protags. Then you can slowly push them down the cyoa hole.
>>97004720I think cyoas are making my fear of death worse by giving me a fantasy where I don't die. Same for being single.

My Arsenal is definitely more powerful, but this is more thematic to me and isn’t as crippled by drawbacks. A tank with good aggro ability who can protect his allies. Thinking about the stat boosting embers I decided to be a bit leaner on racial strengths and bonus traits as I can slowly cover my deficits. I do need some magical potency to really come into my own and eventually wield engineer exoskeletons and feel the “Simple” trait is terrible as a result but it's still a secondary consideration and even then, I won’t need a huge mana pool to selectively benefit from it either. Same thing with speed, I am not specced in it but can eventually get to a respectable level (also by avoiding the horrific “Slow and Steady” trait).
cyoa with this cat?
>>97009189>What cyoas won't make me a laughing stock when presenting the medium to strangers?No sex, no gender swapping/BTG, no mention of being a demon. If they're already CYOA-adjacent, like into TTRPGs or video games, I'd go with some of the more artistic/high concept ones. Nxtub's Hospital/Paranormal Debt Collector/Honor Among Thieves, or Highlander's Traveller's Tale, maybe some of Tankista's or Languid Cicada's . . . You're looking for something aesthetically pleasing, with a plot that they can imagine being adated into their geeky hobby of choice.

Thoughts on hard limits on how many spells you can learn?
>>97010196What, like fucking Danmachi? Fuck no.
>>97010196>hard limits>on learning somethingwhy
>>97010205Sometimes you only get three or four cool abilities anon. There's nothing wrong with that.
>>97010215yeah but you probably should call it learning in that case
>>97010196Don't limit my wish fulfillment fantasy.
Because of aromage, I am now scared of women. Are all women as evil as her?
>>97010215well yeah, there are choices for cyoa purposes, but I'm just saying... if it's knowledge or learning based you should theoretically be able to learn all things given enough time and study>>97010238calling that creature a woman is pretty exaggerated. think of Aro like a dinosaur. there's no need to be afraid of chickens or tiny lizards just because Aro is a fatassosaurus.
>>97010238One could argue that all women see men as expendable and worthy to be sacrificed. In nature this is common. Males in species don't eat the female after fertilization (duh), but the female may eat the male post fertilization.
>>97010196Retarded. Is an undetectable omnipotent god mind controlling everyone to stop them from learning? Lol.
>>97010205>>97010231>>97010243All humans are born with eight spell squares. No more, no less. If you accidentally learn [Jizz Bolt] as one of your eight spells, that's your fault.
>>97010258jizz bolt is all I need, but if it's based on slots what is enforcing the slots? why can't I learn jizz bolt 8 times and then learn shid skid? what is the arbitrary mechanism by which this is enforced
>>97010196>Thoughts on hard limits on how many spells you can learn?That's how real life works.
>>97010252My eyes have been opened
>>97010258No. You can make more spell squares. The cyoa doesn't tell you this, but think about it.
>>97010258>If you accidentally learn [Jizz Bolt]Is that used by guys to attack? Or is it used to incapacitate them?
>>97010289this anon has the mind of a true mage
>>97010272You can only learn a spell once. It would be redundant if you could learn them a second time.
Anyone got the update to final spell?
>>97009781Damn, those abilities are pretty coolI might redo it to be more like it, it is pretty neat
For the love of god Ordion just let us pick 2-3 classes again. I hate only being one class.
>>97009346>the specializations being better on their own.Super true of the vampire abilities. They are great but have ZERO synergy with each other.
>>97010443>I HATE specializing and not being a middling jack of all trades not actually good at anything!
>>97010539>I HATE giving players options
>>97010574You already have dozens of options. The problem is that you don't want to make meaningful choices. Multi-classing undermines the entire premise. A Mutant/Warden/Abjurer mix is a neutered nothingburger of a powerset.
>>97004749A major problem is that the abilities of classes that are supposed to be extremely versatile are made unbelievably limited.>Evocation can only make blasts, walls, bigger blasts, and magic buff>Alchemy can only make healing, acidic, explosive, physical/magical buffing, and gold only transmutation potionsThey're like hands with 4 fingers cut off.

A supposed "master alchemist" can only make 6 potions—utter retardation. It's clearly supposed to be that an alchemist can make potions of increasing potency and complexity, and the listed potions are examples of what can be done at the respective levels.
>>97011109Yea it's totally in line with what other classes can do. Speaking of video game logic, let's not forget that healing and mana potions are God toer bullshit items.
>>97011132>It's clearly supposedHeadcanon
>>97011179This is headcanon general, unironically.
>>97011109That's stupid, and it would mean everyone in the setting is stupid as well. All the companions know those abilities specifically, and only them. Variety? They have never heard of it. A smooth brain world. Anons with 100 IQ would be geniuses. They can invent potions other than the original 6! Who knew that innovation was possible? Certainly not the stupid natives.
>>97011210Aren't they stranded on a isolated island? It's not like they can just get rare ingredients and the latest issue of Potion Maker's Quarterly shipped in via Amazon, you know.
>>97011210>>97011247The alchemist class skill allows for modifying existing potions. Making fresh ones is actually under the first aid skill and anyone can learn it.
>>97010015>True, but italics offers more variety in settings,Name 4 CYOAs of his that have different settings.
>>97011270NTA, but Apocrypha Advent is post-apocalyptic vampire. Pokemon Personified is an isekai hybrid of Ultima and Pokemon. Magi Case is a hybrid of X-Files and the Nasuverse. Colossian is not!Mega Man. Then there's Kins Wolfe, Eternal Blue, Spiral City (or whatever the magic-pink tower cyoa was . . .)He's also got a bunch of waifu pickers in different settings, such as Regent and Post-Story Waifu.
>>97011270On the other hand, almost all of Big Al/Troy X's cyoas are in the Veiled Earth setting, excluding the occasional oddball gem like Grimlewd.
Threadtranny!!!!
>>97011292>magic-pink tower cyoaMagic-punk, not pink
Anyone in a good spot to make a new thread? We're on Page Ten.(Thank you in advance.)
>>97011308sure
>>97011316don't do it, let us finally die
>>97011210Hag apothecaries can already brew other potions, your a low to mid rank adventurer, you have a limited skillset as described by your specializations, everyone starts at the same baseline want new abilities your going to need to learn them like everyone else. Giving vague and broad abilities to one class is pretty much the same as just giving them more abilities in one slot. Its far easier to balance by giving self contained abilities than opening the can of worms that is giving everyone vague stuff. These self contained powers clearly show the power level of each tier of mastery and allows one to gauge the possible effort of learning similar scale abilities.
>>97011317That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons, even death can die.
>>97011247Knowledge =/= availability. And you're saying that an island with such variety of environments and inhabitants only has the ingredients for 6 types of potion.>>97011257Oh my god, the entire alchemist line doesn't actually contain making the healing potion. Or mana potion. No option in the cyoa has making the mana potion. Hahaha, I feel like I'm going insane from how insane all this is.Sigh, I suppose I can only ignore these absurdities and assume a more plausible scenario.

>>97010948>gendered soulThere is, your soul's gender is what you were born as in the previous life, if we go by OR rules and firstly, state that you can choose your gender on the second incarnation and secondly, that you will remember everything from your past life. If you want to change genders and not be a tranny you need to erase your memories, aka factory reset your mind.>chooses to be woman despite being man in the past life = tranny>chooses to be man despite being woman in the past life = tranny>chooses to be the same gender as you were in your past life = not trannyIf she's not a pure 100% female woman who has been a woman in both lives, you are gay for liking them and said person in question is a tranny. Fortunately, most people in OR are not reincarnators so this is a moot question as their soul's gender is whatever they were born as. But straying from the path once makes you a tranny. This is forgivable if you reincarnate forever and keep your memories every single time to the point where everything starts to blur together, but that's moving beyond the boundaries of OR.Anyhow, it doesn't make a difference IRL because souls and reincarnation isn't real.
>>97011321Right, right, everyone from completely different backgrounds know the exact same things as everyone else with the same level of skill, as imposed by the cyoa. The snake hater and disgraced noble learned the exact same things.
>>97011349>>97010948Isn't this beside the point when we have no reason to think Charlie wasn't a woman on Earth?
>>97011349but by this logic if an actual tranny IRL reincarnated into OR they would no longer be a tranny in OR because their soul gender identity would align to their new body. So if Charlotte was a tranny in her previous life she would be considered a women in OR by your logic.
>>97011349Unreal to me that this guy is so obsessed with and triggered by trannies that he dreams up metaphysics to support his grudge even when he doesn't fucking believe in souls.
>>97011359yup, that is how games work, everyone is around similar levels for game balancing reasons, there is a certain gamification you need to accept while playing a cyoa. Quite similar to DnD, where a orphan beggar warrior would be around the same strength as a noble scion warrior
>>97011397yeah its so retarded, that it seems to wants your OR character to transition to your "real" gender of your soul. Which kinda loops back into a pro trans argument. Trannyanon is probably just a closet transgender.
>>97011385If Charlotte was a tranny in her previous life she would be a tranny even now. Their soul gender would NOT align with their body because they were born male on earth, and I assume earth is where the soul for reincarnators is formed. You can literally choose your gender in OR. Choosing to pick something you were not indicates you were a wannabee tranny on earth.>>97011410>OR character to transition to your "real" gender of your soulAny kind of transitioning is tranny. You either stay in your lane or you are tranny. I can forgive it if you've reincarnated a billion times and you're looking for something fresh just to introduce some spice to the dull haze, but that's not how it works in OR and is thus beyond the scope of the discussion.Anyhow all this is a moot point, as I simply assume that all previous outsiders simply picked the gender of their original body. Charlotte was probably a girl on earth, as were all the other female outsiders, while all the male outsiders were guys. I doubt Tank put much thought into it, but seeing as he's Russian I have a feeling he's probably confirm it.
>>97011429okay explain this hypothetical to me. A man reincarnates into a women in OR and then trough magic turns themselves into a man do they count as a tranny in your eyes?
Aren't you just arguing over definitions of "tranny" rather than anything of substance? But in different context, a word can have different meanings. I think both your definitions are perfectly fine.
how many of you are actually trannies
>>97011437No, because that would be full circle. The only instance in which transitioning does not result in a tranny because that's just a full 360 revolution. I'll assume the magic is thorough and gets them to the genetic level, because if the magic isn't perfect it's tranny.>>97011439I guess you're right. Honestly, I doubt that any of the Outsiders were opposite genders in the old world. What do you think is more likely - that they were their chosen gender on earth and any idiosyncrasies are the result of them being tomboys (very common) or trannies (incredibly small percentage of the population)?
>>97011410Most people who are utterly, hopelessly obsessed like this are.
>>97011349I can see the logic, but Charlotte's past gender isn't talked aboout which makes the point moot.
>>97010539This is not how humans work. Hyper-specialization actually makes you Worse at your dedicated topic. You need mastery of a number of related and not-obviously related fields to innovate in a field of study.For example: meta-material chemistry got stuck for Years because it didn't have enough experience in the field of mathematically calculating the different ways to tie knots.Humans are also very shit at hyper-focusing on one topic long enough to continuously train it. The human brain literally shuts off neural connections your overuse for too long(measured in minutes). So for the same reason you'll get words stuck "at the tip of your tongue" if you use them too much, you can't grind a specific study to get good at it.>TL;DR: IRL Humans can only get-gud by multiclassing. Single-classers are skrubs IRL.
