Levels but it has to actually matter. I agree with >>97166044 and hate tying your strength to equipment in any kind of fantasy setting. Unless you're an artificer or alchemist, in which case it makes more sense. If you're in a fantasy setting you personally should be increasing in power be it through class progression, experience and leveling, stats, magic or techniques, etc, etc.

To give other ideas where option #2 makes more sense, if you had a scifi setting where there's energy shields and such that is more fitting. Think of a mass effect type setting. In that case tying progression to gear would make more sense.

>>97166040
Levels are cringe. It's one of the worst kinds of videogameyness. I'm likely to drop a cyoa as soon as I see that the world has character levels in it.

Mind control is cool, if it's used for legitimate horror. But yes, it's horrific.

Read Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons (guy who wrote The Terror). One of the most horrific books I've ever read. That it hasn’t been made into an action-horror series yet is just criminal. The horror is in the implications. Anyone with the ability to control minds on a whim is destined to become a horrible person who treats mental dominance like a drug. Everyone is an appendage to these people. Limbs. Yeah it’s fucked. Eventually only the brain stem remains independent. Vegetables unless ordered. These people are compared to "vampires" because they, quite literally, suck and feed on your will.

Premise:
> The novel portrays a tiny fraction of humanity that has immense psychic powers, which they refer to as "The Ability.” These powers can be used to completely control people from a distance to commit any physical action, including murder. This Ability has been used throughout history to have a direct or indirect influence, via the perceived charisma of world leaders or the actions of more covert individuals, on everything from individual senseless murders to the Holocaust. Across multiple timelines, the novel mostly follows two groups of amoral people in 1980, some with aspirations of world domination, as their clashing involves a group of investigators. These non-psychic investigators follow a series of bizarre murders to the conclusion that a cabal of powerful psychics must be stopped.

It's been called "too racist, sexist and hateful" to be adapted into the big screen. Racist white old lady taking over the ghetto and turning negroes into zombies was the most horrific part of the book. Forcing a father to inject bleach into his children’s necks just because they were RUDE to her. My god.

Reminds me of the Dnyarri from Star Control II as well. Most vile aliens imaginable.

Yeah characters like Professor X are unrealistic for this reason. You can't expect someone with such a power to also have such moral dignity like that.

Nah there's nothing worse. Anything you can think of people doing to each other can be done using mind control, on societal or infrastructural scale. It also enforces the worst in the person who has this ability. They WILL abuse it, eventually. It's inevitable.

We did get one WIP post. It rings of truth. It has that feverish stench of authenticity to it. I think we will see it, it won't release this year and Exalted Conquest won't be everything some anons are expecting it to be but it will be decent, and better than Entropist.

He's not wrong. Mind controllers would be universally reviled, and they'd treat everyone like a pawn. Most likely mind controllers would act like territorial predators and wouldn't trust other mind controllers either.

People who are capable of supernatural bullshit might be susceptible. The ability to dominate minds might be considered supernatural bullshit.

Drop a primitive mind controlling lifeform onto a planet owned by a highly technologically advanced space-faring civilization, and that lifeform now has total control over it, and all its infrastructural assets.

The only actual defense is immunity. And even then you're fighting an entire hypothetical empire working in unison.

i just thought of this but there are some other considerations to be made, like instead of items how about the power coming from tamed or summoned monsters or demons or some such, or maybe a contract you made with a god or demon or what have you

and second consideration, some of these external power things can be made to be internal, like items that are injectables or consumables or some such, or tamed or summoned creatures that can become symbiotes with yourself like the venom symbiote or what have you

What could be a way to balance 3 levels of mind control over waifus so that they cost the same?

>No mind control
Here you don't brainwash them so they don't change; they likely feel grateful to you for not altering their mind, but that's it.

>Emotional attachment
They are made powerfully emotionally attached to you, likely in a romantic sense if you want.
This gives you great leverage over them, while still letting them act independently. On the negative side, they might easily grow jealous of each other?
Or maybe the mental alteration means they suffer permanently from one mental drawback for a more material effect.

>Complete control
This is similar to the previous tier; they are emotionally attached to you, but you can also give them absolute orders they can't help but obey and will not resent you for them, as they love you too much.
Aside from the previous drawback maybe here they have grown too dependent on you and if separated from you for too long they panic and eventually curl up and fall into a comma?

Does it sound balanced?

I want to propose a fourth level:
>Voluntary love
This applies to all women in the setting. Whenever a woman doesn't love me, she gets a warning signal that tells her what is about to happen (if she didn't previous know of me, my face and birthdate is inserted into her mind). The woman has 2 minutes (120 seconds) to start loving me. If she doesn't, she will grow into an ugly cancerous blob and explode. Most women are reasonable and start loving me a lot from this. The same power should also turn all men in the setting other than me into women, and then the same applies to them, so it really applies to all people.

They are meant to be things like one becomes emotionless (except for her attachment to you) another feels an inherent push to use her powers, likely leading to excess or abuse, and another gains a taste for human flesh, etc.

The wage slavery came from the hidden text so I am pulling out another quote from the text to show how ridiculous it is. That it doesn't make sense just shows how flawed thinking that the quote that the ecumene has wage slavery is as why would one take the wage slavery at face value while saying that the quote stating that its pretty damn close to post scarcity in the same text is false.
That is what the hidden text says, pretty damn close to post scarcity. But personally I don't believe in the validity of these texts so its most likely not wage slavery either as these texts seem to be untrustworthy sources.

JNPL isn't micromanaging the world, Yphont died and she will reincarnate, it's Erginter to blame for her death if anything.
People act in the world, with the elder gods making adjustments in the background (and the goddess of comfy presumably tends to make benign ones), while helping people to ascend.
I see both their points and Vtorusha's, amd even some of Charlotte, so even if I will free Vtorusha I won't particularly obstacle her from talking with the gods.
>>
>>97167434
well there is still a question of if ascension is even a good thing? Is it really better to be one nerve cell in the collective experience of a god entity? than just existing in a paradise afterlife as your current self instead of the collective of lives. Is it even moral to force a person to experience unimaginable horrors just so they could experience every story to enable ascension?

Calling it meta implies that is above the narrative, that it is an exercise in showing a higher argument through the story.
OR doesn't do that, the fact that the world runs on Narrative rules is extremely explicit right from the start and the world is built with that idea in mind.
One could even argue it is the opposite of a usual meta narrative, since any higher purpose is not set in stone and would be dependent on the story the reader is trying to make.

It operates only by a fraction of a fraction of its original capabilities, now, only allowing the user to emulate travel through time. Not because the weapon was defeated, but because of the rider's choices made in the face of all that was wrought. It crippled itself, and now slumbers within a logic error. billions of dreams per second. They all shared the same start and the same end. This rampant runaway fiction was spun by the giant fans inside. The stories were infinitely branching and infinitely expanding."

While Polaris was an interesting concept, the idea of a character who doesn't break the fourth wall but instead literally lives on it is somewhat limited to me.

Realistically, what sorts of CYOA scenarios would (you) be able to help with? Barring some sort of companion power up section, of course.

Most of us probably aren't soldiers or martial artists, so anything that involves immediate combat is out. And I'm gonna guess that most of us don't have magic, psionics, or advanced technical skills.

Slice of life or romance? Most of us could probably do that. Or help research a topic. Or serve as an emotional touchstone to help someone avoid going mad with power.

What do you all think? If (you) got called up to help, what CYOAs would (you) be an asset for?
>>
>>97166104
Well, posting a complete version of my build
>Method
Machine Transcendence Manual
Verdant Heartwood Sheaves
I would like to take the heavenly celestial scriptures, for healing spiritual damage, but at least for now I will go for this, I like support abilities of verdant and its nature theme and I really like crafting, and therefore having the ability to create technology of machine trascendence.
>Blessing & Advantages
Heaven-Blessed
Iron Will
Protagonist Aura
Communication expert
Wise Elder
I like to support others, so wise elder, communication expert and protagonist, the other two are simply really good, and without Iron Will I will never manage anything
>Treasures & Artifacts
abandoned beast
omni-compass
perfect servant
power armor
spliced tree
I took technology to cultivate my machine trascendence, the other sentient beings and the spliced tree wich seems really good and I might try to study it for my verdant
>Cheats and golden fingers
Dharma weapon
Perfect Guardian
Mentor Ring
I would really like a third method, or maybe the items, but the voices in my head proved stronger, so I ended up taking the living ones. At least the mentor will be useful, as I didn't take the prodigy blessing I would need help in cultivation, also he might help some companions like Lyra, and the other two are obviously really strong.
>Companions & Allies
Marie Su
Alva
Triffil
Alice
Iska
The Wandering Swordswoman
Lyra, The Wyrm
Hirak, The Beast
Test Unit AA-108, Model "Ajax"
Yesod, The Blind Craftsman
Catherine, The Vessel
Rachel, The Beastmaster
Urul, The clever
Now I suffer, I ended up taking everyone who needs someone
>Notable Events & Undertakings

Fated Nemesis (Dr. Nalka, The Physician)
Deviated Form

Anon (>>97168558) has a point. Isekai Rape Monster is about (you) being drafted to serve as a champion of the Dark, with the Light making a last minute pitch for (your) loyalty. The narrators are certainly pushing the sex angle hard, but ultimately it isn't that different from ScottishAnon's Guardians/forces of Darkness cyoa, Anduin's Dawn of a Demon Lord, or any other dark champion/overlord cyoa.

(It does push the sex angle pretty hard, though.)
>>
>>97168647
Tbf only one of the three narrators push the sex angle.
>>
>>97168329
Waifus have a point premium compared to husbandos, of course anon is worth more than Mr Nice Guy.
>>
>>97168602
I'd say emotional touchstone/morality pet, with assorted skills of the targeted individual. We're less quirky on average than the NPCs, so we can also play the role of the straight man in situations that warrant it.
>If (you) got called up to help, what CYOAs would (you) be an asset for?
Talking in general - modernesque, comfy or romance ones, but CYOAs where the "Picker" can protect (You) due to various power levels also works. Since anons are notoriously unbalanced when deprived of immortality, power, waifus or things like that, putting them in dystopias, horror shows or cyberpunk settings is a bad idea. They're not mentally equipped to deal with the bleakness.
>>
>>97166659

The rape goddess. Melanoche being the... edgy godddess? I don't know. And Ariel being just an archangel which I guess means its one of those settings where archangels are second or third highest position in heaven because in other they are second to last and I doubt he is that low given having him is a cheat
>>
>>97168602
I guess isekai scenario with generous level & skill system could make anon companions salvageable.
>>
>>97168602
I actually have a freak talent for shooting skeet, to the extent I've won contests and could feasibly compete for a state title. I'm solidly average with most guns but if I have a shotgun and a moving target at any distance, I just do not miss. It's ridiculous, I'm not even interested in guns outside of the basics, but it is easily one of the things I'm best at. Shotgunner is an extremely niche companion concept. I might be semi-useful in an urban warfare CYOA where drones were a problem. Outside of that, I'm great at persuading people of things and a decent writer. I've got some basic survivalism too but that's nothing to write home about.
>>
>>97168746
It's because Christian angelology already has two archangel ranks, fiction didn't invent it. Archangel the second lowest rank of angel, and Archangel referring to the greatest angels in all the host, such as Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel.
>>
>>97168742
yup. there's one choice that matters above all others in CC and he picked the correct one, everything from there is ez street
>>
>>97168673
Carnachias: goddess with rape fetish.
Melanoche: goddess that lives to be edgy (likes porn and is a turbo virgin but doesn't let that be part of her personality)
Ariel: archangel, the Lion of Heaven, Lord of Air, secretly homosexual femboy (doesn't let this part of him affect his personality beyond being embarassed and trying to act like he likes girls)

All the sex angle comes from the yellow text of Carnachias being unable to think in anything but sex.
>>
>>97168800
One Choice Man...
>>
>>97168779
Then Ariel is truly strong and a fully evolved or almost fully evolved angel. Which makes the Dungeon Core having more Light magical power than him mean the dungeon core is really op.

He calls himself a high ranking angel and has two titles that would imply he is above normal angels, like Lion of Heaven and Lord of Air.
One of his feathers give you the immunities the hair of Melanoche gives plus insta death protection and 200% to both defenses.

The only bad thing we know is that the Ancient Dungeon Core, who is older than Gods, has more light affinity than him.

He is arguably the strongest option in the cyoa, and where does he say he is nothing compared to light gods?

>METHOD: verdant sheaves
by far the best one, amazing survivability, pretty good self defense options, and synergizes well with any other cultivation by giving me greater RE reserves

>skin shedding scripture
balanced and versatile body cultivation, probably combos well with primordial essence, and lets me process RE more efficiently to make my greater RE reserves even more insane

>heavenly scrolls
soul/mind techniques are always nice to have just in case, more stable RE should help me handle even more extreme changes from skin shedding, and I wonder if this cultivation's third eye would synergize with the third eye blessing for a fourth eye or something similar?

>BLESSINGS: warhound, third eye, iron will, innovate, peerless prodigy
blessings purely focused on growth in combat and in RE abilities

>TREASURES: pocket dimension, stores of wealth, spliced tree
replicate my materials with the tree to have even more of them

>market ticket
sell my material surplus and buy anything else I might need

>hunting ground
another method to gather more materials and hopefully in due time I would reach a point where I don't need to hide from the monsters in it

>INHERITANCE: heavenly conqueror + oversoul
very strong combo plus with all my buffs from blessings and cultivation techniques I doubt anyone could match my RE abilities

>primordial essence
even if I hit earth's cap of stage 9 I would be the only stage 10 in it, so it's a good investment and lets me start 1 realm higher in capabilities

>COMPANIONS: Alice the mad
she is hot and verdant sheaves + heavenly scrolls would probably let me cure her

another monster bloodline enjoyer, I could learn a thing or two from her and she could learn from me

But he didn't say that. I think anon remembered wrong the angel description, there he says low level angels like the what the player would start as are nothing like high level angels like him.

more than probably just as a human resource, like using up my flesh and blood maybe even my soul as fuel for some kind of machine or spell or smth, or maybe using my mind/soul as the control system for a golem or automaton or smth, heck iirc the animus cyoa is where you get pulled from death and your soul gets shaved down and used to animate a doll to then be sold to people and the bits of soul they shave off get used to power their systems for a bit and that lets you make choices cause someone took over the system and are letting you choose
>>
>>97168963
>there is not such thing, angels there is no level or evolution cap
I don't know if there is a hard cap but there is a kind of cap as monster evolution plateaus and angels should work like devils.
While I think he can get stronger by fighting its not like he is going to become omniangel or anything.
>no way, i mean he is strong but not the "strongest option"
I think having a very high level angel, with high light magic, stats and being able to use magic to heal and protect you is op given the circumstances. Its like an elite mage/support player going to the low level zones to help a newbie to level up. He could get stronger during the adventure, his type of magic would be weird within your side of monster. And once you make him fully on your side you can make him lie in some way to the heroines to gain tactical advantage or give you information.

There is no option that gives that much. The other op options are very centered around one thing, he being on your side is more than simple strength.

There is so much experience you can't kill all. You could even send him training while you rest.

cassian is a dumbass who is only physically strong and durable, I don't have to worry about him pulling out esoteric attacks, gathering a strong army or making a clever trap.

>I don't get what is so good about ajax, it doesn't even say anything about her current or future capabilities
She is a new species of living robot that can grow her parts like a person. Being perfectly alive and able to replicate any human process. Which means she can simply train and her robot body gets stronger, or get upgrades. She also is based on a beautiful character and is confirmed as breedable, which would create another special race.

While I think that saying Cassian will instantly rape you to be extremely dumb, Fated Nemesis does ensure that, even if you have conceptual advantage against him and know all his tricks, fate will find a way to make him an annoyance when you fight him at the very least.

>>97169128
Its a big point, a new special race maybe even unique in the multiverse. Experimenting with that is a greta plus, its the same motive why the Dharma Weapon being breedable makes the option better for future bloodline potential in your kids.
But without it she is still an unique existence, hybrid of life and machine with the advantages of both. Being like Iska in the sense not picking her is giving up the chance of seeing the growth of something unique.

it's a tactical advantage, he is going to be too busy trying to capture me rather than kill me so he is less dangerous

Redux is coming in 2026. I think a lot of people are going to enjoy the massive amount of new choices to the CYOA as it helps you grow out your own narrative and life before and during your time as an Investigator, your relation with your mage family, and what type of Investigator you are.

Brother. .

Honestly I might make another build after lunch.

The only downside the cyoa has is the lack of variety in viable builds.

You either have to go all in on a single element or accept that you'll be severely handicapped and unable to use most spells.

No, the correct takeaway is to try to create a new kind of race while at least trying not to rely entirely on the old tropes. Something besides "LOTR fanfiction" or "LOTR fanfiction, but now with catgirls". Stretch your mind and find something new!

ehh kinda depends on some things, there certainly are cases of feminine males but for one some women kinda prefer that sort of thing and for two its not like its all elf males as there are some that are a little more, robust

as much as i agree with you that being a female is not only alright but also sometimes the practical option depending on some things, but like, you do know one of cassians strong points is his durability right, even with cultivation enhanced muscles and a body refining method i dont think its going to be enough to do that, also like, its gonna be really hard to get it out of there even if you do manage it so it might be stuck there

of course this is entirely seperate from the issue that you shouldnt joke nor be serious about planning to be raped in any way shape or form as it is not a pleasant experience least of all with a guy like casian doing it, being a female is alright, being raped no matter, well, anything, is not, not even as a plan against someone even someone as bad as casian

>>97169152
i mean, more than focusing on watching the growth of a unique entity or a new race, which powerful entities can probably get sick of watching over and over despite the supposed rarity, i feel like its better to go with companions youll actually jive with personally or that synergize well with your methods and tactics or that you maybe think you can help with their current problems and be helped in return when you really need it, watching interesting things like new species generation and whatnot can be cool, but like, survival often takes precedence over all besides maybe having a cool or worthy death

i mean some people are just curious as to what its be like to be a girl, and i can respect that desu, im not trans or anything myself but im also not really attached to my own gender so maybe im not the best person to get an opinion from, but eh, if someone wants to see what its like being a different gender, or thinks theyd be better off as that other gender, i say let them, not harming anyone else doing that now are they?
>>
>>97170066
Do something new (or at least not yet completely cliche) with your lizardfolk! Maybe their cold-blooded physiology has a unique impact on their culture, architecture, and society. Maybe you do something weird with that thing where lizard tails keep moving after they're cut off

The question shouldn't be "should I have lizard people", it should be "what cool and new thing can I do with them"

>>97170104
elven women tastes are more or less the same as the tastes of human women, as in quite varied, not all are gonna like the burly chadmeme type guys others are going to like femboys or the bookish types or the salt of the earth types or whatever else you might find out there

Background options are cool though.

>I want options for after being a mage wagie.
The CYOA is supposed to be open narrative about the future and whether you stay as a Magi Investigator or not. Especially, as the Magi Case Redux has tons of updated and new material that impacts the future of the Magi Clans and multiple characters. I'm sure a good number of people would be mad that they are limited to certain future endings instead of going off what they made and taking it into a wild direction.

No builds like that will get any bitches.
>>
>>97170258
Are we getting more content about the Rosebud Incident in the redux version?
>>
>>97170260
for one astolfo gets like all the bitches he wants and hes like the epitome of the femboy, and for two there are an absurd number of series about bookish type or crafter type or farmer type mc's and even side mc's who get girls coming right for them for one reason or another usually to do with the girl actually liking this person, as a person, kinda helps alot, especially when it goes both ways as it usually does, sure technically you can get girls to be your bootie slave all you want with force and powers but that only ever creates property or pets or what have you never actual family or equals, yes im considering pets and family as different you can have a pet and it not be family just like an animal despite being an animal can be someones family and im not talking bestiality here so quit snickering you guys in the back dont think i cant hear you
>>
>>97170284
Format your post like a first worlder and try again.
>>
>>97170273
Yes. More characters that were there for the Rosebud Incident do appear in the CYOA aside from the original two, but they are more side characters that were there for the event and doing their own thing/having a role in it.

Meh if Elves were real it would make sense for the girls to be more attracted to somewhat effeminate men on average, given that elven men are portrayed as somewhat more effeminate than human men on average. Probably more bi girls for the same reason.
>>
>>97170334
well, desu, if were gonna make elves, why are we actually gonna make male elves, the only purpose for such a thing would be to make them femboys, after youve made your handful of femboys the rest can all be females of various types from the demure to the tomboyish etc etc, if you want like burly manly men you go for other races like orcs or dwarves or what have you not elves, well, of course theres also the possibility of hermaphrodites, but thats a whole other discussion and not many people are into discussing that topic (despite how interesting it might be to theorize what a society without gender would be like but eh)
>>
>>97170372
Why do we need to repeat the femboy elf trope for the millionth time tho. If you're gonna include a race as boring and cliche as elves then at least deviate from the established structure a LITTLE

This discussion reminds me of a manga I read where the orcs are all just super buff elves in appearance. It's a funny reversal of the ugly orc trope, especially because it's never pointed out and people still kinda act like they are ugly.

I have done a little of a lot of things - I can identify plants in and around my region, tan hides, brew alcohol and vinegar, and a bunch of other relatively minor skills. I would say my main benefit would be as some type of gatherer/farmer, since I've probably done more gardening and foraging than any other hobbies. I am also fair at negotiating or mediating between others, which might serve me in good stead. This is why I tend to like more nature-based, human-scale CYOAs. I doubt I would do well in some kind of cyberpunk dystopia or high-magic situation
>>
Actually now that I think about it, I've been binging Discworld lately and Discworld elves were kind of interesting. Standard malicious "fair folk" but they use a glamour that gives them the appearance of Tolkien elves, so the noble Tolkien elves is what ended up in nursery rhymes and such, and nobody knows their true nature until it's too late.

>>97170436
High magic would fuck everyone if there isn't a power giveaway and even elite techies of today would be decades out of the loop in a cyberpunk situation.

Scottmens Guardians series probably had the best balance of getting new power but feeling like you might actually bring something to the table with our normal talents as well IMO.

You have no idea how much that actually counts for in that setting. Most Travelers are mentally unhinged cavemen, cowboys, and aliens that only use biotech or something.

depends on a vast array of things but usually forest elves smell like the forest, cities like smog and concrete i guess, etc etc, and in some settings, or atleast one in particular, if you are able to perceive an elfs magic and how old it is it apparently takes on a sort of rancid or rotted smell kinda, although ive also seen a setting where each elf has their own particular scent that can be used to track them especially by elves who are apparently part bloodhound or smth and can do things like smell the rot and decay on corrupted beings

Guardians is also one of the CYOAs that could support the demand.

About two years ago, I got into LitRPGs, and discovered there's a whole subculture of doomsday preppers who are ready for an isekai situation. And I don't mean just wanting it. They've got bug-out bags prepped, letters and wills ready . . .If a dimensional portal were to open in their hometown, they'd be through it before the neighbors have a chance to call 911.

In light of that, it's kind of hard to see how the "average" scifi/fantasy geek would be able to stand out enough to get their ticket to Narnia/Wonderland/the Outer Worlds . . .unless there are slots for tens or hundreds of thousands of candidates.

And Guardians does.

Before he disappeared into the world of climate change protests, ScottishAnon was planning a big crossover cyoa that tied a bunch of his works together. And - as I understand it - we were going to learn that there's a Big Bag provoking these scenarios, and secretly masterminding the Forces of Darkness.

He wanted to write Terror Australis first, and maybe finish the Dogs of War WIP , but then we'd get this big apocalyptic showdown cyoa.

Only he seems to be gone for good. Too bad.

a mostly neutral group that centers around the Galleon as a base of operations. The Fallen Star protects it from major threats, Dogs of War mow down the hordes, while the Caravan Master handles the supply chain and the Calculator serves as a shipboard computer. I think there's a lot of synergy here. The hope would be to upgrade the Galleon into something a little more high-tech by feeding and learning from the Star and equip the Dogs with similarly advanced munitions

They aren't! That is why my guy is going from Health, he is not worried about losing the benefits

It's the classic combination. It would be interesting to see some robust, cohesive team builds with the more individualistic disciples

If it's just electrical current, that isn't too hard to generate, even with medieval tech. If it's something more exotic, well...

I always wondered how restrictive the nemesis decision was. There were definitely some builds that couldn't possibly fight the nemesis they chose (saw a lot of FOD builds pick the Colusses for example that had no chance even in a team).

Thanks anon

>>97170514
how exactly do undead dragons gain power aside from experience? because the a corvids gains power with time and combat experience (and by eating the dead if you take the skill) technically even if an undead dragon starts stronger doesn't the crow have a higher power ceiling and easier time "leveling up"? i might be missing something
>>
>>97170904
I feel you anon but protecting the planet and it's bounty is worth ignoring the tree huggers.

>>97170975
Best way is to bask in the shadow of your master. I think Dracolich is a trap option anyway.

>>97170975
Corvids will never be able to cast magic the way a Dracolich can (most disciples can definitely dabble but Draco is dedicated caster level).

Probably by exploring how (you) can be both a living person AND an undead dragon. And/or how the Dracolich is verifiably dead, yet able to keep fighting/planning/making disciples. In practice, it's almost like the Dracolich is raw magical power condensed into the shape of a dragon, rather than a standard undead. Figuring how that's possible might allow (you) to transcend the starting limits.
>>
>>97171390
If you're doing a Biblical apocalypse cyoa? With the Antichrist, and Book of Revelations stuff? Sure.

Sure, and what would happen after they disagreed with her?

what's the point in making a cyoa if you'll never be better than OR?

>>97172059
There's no point in making cyoas if you're not talented enought to make ones that are talked about months or years after
cyoa creation is only for talented people, slop creators are deluded if they think their 100th cyoa will be any better than their first dogshit one. Just give up already.

There is no point in anything. Months and years are but a transient moment in the face of eternity. Even stars will fade.
But that's boring, so it's up to you to delude yourself otherwise.

It really is that shrimple. Israel has never actually attacked unprovoked. Notice how Egypt and Jordan both abandoned the Palestinians after they sided with them? It’s because even other Muslims know how dangerously retarded Palestinians are. Palestinians bite the hands of literally anyone - Muslim or Jew - who helps them and it’s hilarious to see in action. Jordan INVITED Palestinian refugees into their lands, and what did it result in? Nothing good. Palestinians attempted to dethrone the Jordan government, and Jordan then asked Israel for help, very quietly. LMAO.

You just have to assume that anyone who supports Palestine is low IQ.

Palestinians also have better lives in Israel than in Jordan. It’s no comparison really. But, of course, ‘No Jews, No News’.

Keep beating it into their heads anon they will never admit they chose poorly
