Quick update of my STAR WARS Smuggler CYOA. First up is the character creation.
>>97362590
>>97362707Part 2, ship choice.
>>97362720And part 3, crewmatesNow with a few more choices. More will be coming soon.
>>97362736
>>97362707I think you should compile the sections into a single image.
>>97362600So whats the actual name for this.
>>97362746
>>97362772Radiant? It says that in big glowing letters...
>>97362772Radiant, I guess.
>>97362781Yea, but is it just "radiant" or is it "radiant: a paladin cyoa" or "a paladin cyoa: radiant"?

>>97362831This is soulful and I like it a lot. Could you add a descriptor for how powerful the various points are in their niche? How much stronger is 5 points of Offence than 4, what kind of stuff can 8 Tech repair- that kind of thing. Thank you for your work! It has been too long since we saw a Star Wars OC and yours looks very comfy.
>>97362846>soulful>uses retarded zoomer lingoNope, not soulful.
>>97362875"Girlfailure" is firmly millennial lingo, not zoomer. You might just be too old.
>>97362875It is plenty soulful. Stats in partial bracket listing is neat and I haven't seen it before.
>>97362875Zoomers are contributing much to the liberation of humanity from miserable wageslavery.You best be more respectful to your poor brothers that simply want to live in a better world.
>>97362907Don't fucking care, it's absolutely retarded and anyone who uses it is an inbred ape.

>>97363030I love when orient themed OC drops!
>>97363085With mirror I can simply spar with Faelith to learn the other techniques, plus take on the Slayer to learn whatever the hell he has going on. Thanks to spellbreak autra/silencing blows I can render magical weapons mundane, and thanks to hardened skin im immune to nonmagical attacks. Celestial armor protects me from anything weird and I have magic immunity, so I should be able to deal with whatever the slayer might have up his sleeve (plus I regenerate, which is nice). So whatever he might be up to and can do, I should be able to counter and deal with - and grow in the process thanks to mirror.Beyond that the missions I picked are what seemed like the big bossfight ones, which is what the build should excel at. Between vaeriss and her magic and raguel I shouldnt have too much issue tracking down targets, and then I can just binding duel them and win an honorable 1v1. The Last might be the hardest one or the easiest one, depending on how many souls hes eaten. Soulfire might explode him into constituent atoms (lmao exponential scaling) but if not he could prove a problem, although between the binding duel, reality anchor and my defenses I should be able to do a decapitation strike on him rather than going through his entire empire. Just need to get in there, silence him during a 1v1 and then whale on him until whatever dark voodoo shit he has going on is dealt with. I have the timepiece in case he has time fuckery going on, and should have defenses for everything else.Vaeriss and Faelith are neat, their tier 3s fall within my pts threshold (if I sell the third companion slot) and they're hot dark elves so thats a bonus. Not sure which I like better though. Vaeriss and her "steals magic" might also be insane. Could she take The Lasts powers away? Having her depower people like him/deathseeds (if possible) would both be an insane asset and a good way to deal with those sorts of threats without killing them (which admittedly I'm more than up for)

>>97363085>gets bent over and spanked by basically everyone You did your best I suppose
>>97362403I just realized that Sylen could have fixed both the complexity and the munchkin problem if he just used the Mythic Lands style of difficulty slider and let people decide whether they were in a street level or cosmic war setting.
>>97363030Celestial Convergence Sect: I already have a fated connection with this sect.Oracle: Maximize the advantage of my "immense fortune."Ornate Handbell, Strange Cup: Cultivation has always emphasized purity.Painting of a Sage: I can't understand it, but that doesn't mean others can't either. I'm gonna be rich from sharing it.
>>97363186I didn't like that. Just a single well-defined setting would be better.
>>97363163>>97363085The cyoa is surprisingly stingy with points. Like I felt like I took quite a lot of oaths and had a pretty large number, but the sheer number of things to do in there makes it feel like its not enough. Didn't get to take my cool wolf companion, or combine curse-magnet with spell reflection for hilarity (all nearby evil spells have to hit me, if they would hit me they instead hit whoever cast them) or the other exponential scaling power (is the one where you grow stronger over time exponential?), or the giant form one, or the combat teleport. >>97363173I literally cant have worse odds than 50% in any fight, I'm always at least as strong as the other guy and can just turn any fight into an unavoidable 1v1 which he cant run away from (and I cant either, but I have an oath that stops me anyways, so who cares). I also have high rank instinct so im basically impossible to jump. Im also immune to magic, immune to non-magical attacks, immune to weird attacks that would ignore defenses (so space fuckery I guess?) and steal techniques. It's actually kinda bullshit.
>>97363198What, and write LORE for that too?
>>97363030Oh cool!>cultivationBetter luck next time I guess.
>>97363200>The cyoa is surprisingly stingy with pointsThat's putting it very mildly. Probably the only time where I actually grew bored while doing a build because instead of making a build it feels like trying wrangle any sort of fun out of the game.
>>97363223This but Magocratic Convention. It's like being back in the office.
>>97363230Thats entirely the intended feel of magocratic convention though. Youre doing fantasy government paperwork and shit. >>97363223Starting you out with 200 would probably make it feel a lot better.
What if A world where there are different sects of superheroes, all with different secret teachings that you need to master to unlock more superpowers and they all compete between each other and there's also a leaderboard of superheroes where they are ranked based on how good they are at being a heroA capetivation if you will
>>97363252Youre trying to crossbreed different forms of cancer and I dont like it.
>>97363246The whole pick and choose oaths for money thing is both extremely stupid and hamstrings the entire economy. Instead of a paladin you have to act and think like a greedy goblin, carefully choosing restrictions based solely on how much you profit from them and how easily you can abuse them.
>>97363297>Instead of a paladin you have to act and think like a greedy goblinThis is a good point, it does work against the theme.
>>97363268>Wu Xenxing, Hero Name "Thunderbird", Inner Disciple of Shenglong Hero Academia, #46 on the leaderboard:"You dare to speak to me with such tone? You are courting death! It's Thunder time!"What, not even a little scientific curiosity?
>>97363252Sound like a bad combination.Like Marvel Midnight Sons mixing superheroes with turn based card game mechanics.
>>97363326Hydra goons had sick designs tho.
>>97363252Basically Power Creator Xenon
>>97363297that one at least feels "intuitive", if you get power but restrictions as a normal paladin, more restrictions == more poweryou can be super broken and wipe out whatever you fight in the blink of an eye, but youre going to have to be a mega boy-scout about it
>>97363252I fail to see why there would be superheroes at all in such a world.
>>97363297>>97363316Mmm, I'm conceding that this is a good point to hold against Angel, too. Other "patron god" CYOAs make you follow the whole moral code of your patron. A better "holy warrior" CYOA yet would have worked like https://musingsonmonstrousness.blogspot.com/2025/05/nine-great-faiths-three-small-ones-and.html where there are multiple, but mutually incompatible churches of the One True God for a build to follow their given moral code.
>>97363223Planeswalker Rising
>>97363297I thought everybody was picking "oaths" they were already doing IRL for free points...?
>>97363297Whats the alternative? everyone gets a big lump sum of pts and can take as many oaths as they want if they feel like it but dont have to? Because you know the same people minmaxing it just wouldnt take the oaths making the entire premise obsolete making all the oaths mandatory would also be incredibly gay, that shit would be super suffocating
>>97363350Honestly I don't think tying moral percepts to power points is good at all. It would be better to give player a choice between several options (holy orders, sects, religions etc) that would apply a set of moral restrictions but give some sort of unique boon that you can't get any other way. Like, if you join the Evilsmasher Church, you have to relentlessly smash evil and be on a permacrusade, but you get extra-holy weapons and immunity to mind control. That sort of thing.The rest of customization is handled by "heres X points, spend however".
Which cyoas would consider as "uncslop"?
>>97363392Stardust. Blood Mage, Magocratic Convention
