>>97690702I shall be the luckiest bastard that managed to become a GOO or die trying. I shall abuse my various cheat death abilities and items to bypass two of my high corruptions and just have to learn how to deal with the remaining corruption. Joining the Tarot Club so I should have some encounters with both the King of Angels in Wheel of Fortune. Ideally I plan on trying to do dupe Adam's man into being my fall guy for the ritual to GOOhood.Going to start on the Forbidden lands so that will interesting trying to escape and evade Adam's faction. The worshipers to the Key of Light are the worshipers I will leech faith from to stabilize as Anchors.Starting as a Sequence 1 bypasses the need to stabilize for Wheel of Fortune advancement and I can just proceed straight to Key of Light which hopefully is a lot more accomodating for my off path Sequences that correlate with Fate. Helps that I worship it and it likes me.Fiated Eternal Aeon being treated as a compatible pathway with Wheel for lower corruption amount.Will eventually get around to not being a giant winged snake monster that is riddled with worms.
>>97690702>>Location>Forsaken Land of the GodsWould True Creator or Ouroboros rape this guy
>>97690705>Fiated Eternal Aeon being treated as a compatible pathway with Wheel for lower corruption amountIt is canon actually.
Well, lost my start of a build when my computer restarted, time to do it again.On another note I realized as a nascent outer deity I have by default the fake angel perk, wich would help considerably to join the tarot club even without taking it as an option.
>>97690641In page 21 there is an explanation of the outer deities, the paths displayed there can be taken? Do they have more madness levels? What's the difference between one of those and those on the blasphemy slate?
>>97690742Boons = begging for shit but its not actually yours, you're just borrowing and if you piss of your master you loss everythingPathways = you own the shit
>>97690742>the paths displayed there can be takenYes, Boon Pillager talent is one way to do that. Trying to hunt for the right characteristics in the Cosmos is another, however foolish that normally is.>Do they have more madness levels? Inherently? Depends on the specific pathway. They, however, already have active ATS-level masters, and they aren't good for your SAN.>What's the difference between one of those and those on the blasphemy slate?Some of them are actually fused together. There are no principal differences otherwise.Boons are possible with standard pathways too.
>>97690641What sequences can extract characteristics from items or from other characteristics ?
>>97690862Any of them good at rituals can.
>>97690862All angels can do it, but Sun can do it at s4
>>97690609Updating my build so far, >>97685126Still need to go through the Blasphemy Slates so I expect a lot to change but I've gotten the basic idea/concept behind this character down I think.Born to Beyonder parents belonging to the Church of the Earth Mother in the Feynpotter Kingdom. Because he is le'gay (9th Sequence Lesser Madness) he is actively shunned and treated as an embarrassment by the Church and his parents. Leading him to seek out other groups for support and growth.The social solitude he faced however led him to become quite studious and is now a wealth of information and knowledge on this worlds history.What should I look into grabbing?I am prepared to job.Origin: Mothers Little Reincarnator>Wealth (Y), 23>Knowledge (B), 17>Influence (P), 20>Coincidence (G), 12>+1 Abyss, Chained, Moon, Mother>True God's Seal>Heightened Risk of Outer Diety corruptionFates:-The Magician (Past)>Discard 2 Low Madness options for free-The Hierophant (Present)>Discriminated against me within my Organization-Justice (Future)>+3 VisionaryBody: Male>Lucky>Trustworthy>Well-SpokenStatus: Official BeyonderRegion: Feynapotter Kingdom> +1 Mother & JusticiarSecret Organization: Church of the Earth Mother>+2 Mother, +1 Justiciar & Twilight GiantPathway: PlanterPersonal History:- Sequence 9: Planter>Beyonder Child- Sequence 8: Doctor>Gathering Attendee- Sequence 7: Harvest Priest>Dark Ritual Witness>Slow and SteadySequence 6: Biologist>Mysticism Notebook>Experienced VeteranLower Madness:>DesireWealth: 26>Hidden Realm, -7>Forbidden Literature, -3>Charms and Amulets, -2>Affluence, -3Knowledge: 24>Pathway Lore x2, -4>Mystical Languages x3, -6>Mystical Rituals, -2>Epoch History x3, -9Influence: 24>Gathering Invitation, -2>Spirit Messenger, -2>Blessed, -4Partners:Coincidences: 14Talents:>Eye for Wrongness>Deep Cogitation>Contracts and Honorifics>Human Heart
>>97690778Is there an actual benefit to taking one of the outer deity paths over a normal one?
>>97690890Sequence 3 MGoD is equal to a weak S0.
>>97690890if you take the boon pillager you can try to steal their uniqueness via coincidences, is that a good idea? no clue
>>97690898How strong is a sequence 2 MGoD? being nearly impossible to kill, exile or seal sounds really damn powerful
>>97690890Over a normal one? Not much since you becoming a mad cultist is all but guaranteed. Alongside a normal one is an option though, even if you need to be careful with it, taking stuff like true god's seal to isolate it and the anti-corruption options so you can safely cultivate the boon. Whichever god made the seal is almost certain to teach you how to steal the boon, as that'd be making their side stronger while weakening the enemy.
>>97690641when I see a +1 to a path does that mean I start at an higher level or that I'm just good at that in general?
>>97690939>when I see a +1 to a path?A 'Benefit'?
>>97690939It grants Convergence Events equal to your level in it for Personal History section and in the Blasphemy Slate part it discounts every option for a path by your level in it. For example if you had level 5 Prisoner and level 3 Criminal, every option for Prisoner is 0 cost until Sequence 3 with Tomb Decoration costing you 1 wealth. But for Criminal at Sequence 3, Friendly Gift would cost 6 (0+0+0+1+1+2+2) wealth.Stacking the All benefits options is very powerful.
>>97686195>This may be a bit late, but it's actually broken.>You get one use for affinity and still het the +25% Bonus to elemental magic permanently>This was all confirmed by the author.Oh wow I see, so you can just take pearl twice as warlock starting out for quad affinity? Thats kinda nuts. I wasn't sure because the cyoa only specified using your soulbound pearl for changing affinity, not adding a new one. Ty anon i'll sending you witch hugs <3Also anons were talking about why the new oc didnt get a lot of builds, imo its because its hard to digest and fully grasp what youre trying to do without knowing the source material. Like yes you explain the basic premise (each path has an exact potion used to ascend further, you become less human/more mad each sequence, theres only so many people who can be god or koa for each path, there are etc etc) but there is never a clear goal really. Usually a cyoa is either about a power fantasy or following the rules of the cyoa to make a build/adventure that either you're happy with or 'wins' the cyoa. The power fantasy thing isn't really what that oc is about, but the rules/pathway is too vague outside of the slates imo for the build/fantasy aspect either. I think it lacked something to give me and some others the drive to finish it, even after reading the whole cyoa. I think that if there were slates for each pathway, and clear obsticals for each pathway that I as the builder need to work around, it would be way more fun (esp with the whole 'switching branches' part). But as it its just too vague to really make me wanna make a build, and the power fantasy isn't there either. Just my two cents.
One pager that feels like a two pager.
>>97691047Oops accidentally posted the old version
Might as well post this too since I was in his allsync folder
>>97690977nta but this is big because I was about to post my build and I thought the discount was just towards the price in parenthesis and not to each individual item.guess I'm back to fixing my build.
>>97690977> in the Blasphemy Slate part it discounts every option for a path by your level in it.Huh. Wizard v5 soon I guess.
>there hasn't been a good cyoa in over a year
>>97690723Immediately. The build dies on spawn.
>>97690939>>97690977It's outlined in "Benefits Rules" in page 2. Discounts cannot bring something below 1 point, and if you had 3 Criminal, Friendly Gift's cost of 21 would be discounted to 18. (However, if you only wanted the Beyonder characteristic, it would cost 5-3=2).

>>97690702>S1 Wheel of Fortune>Forsaken Land of the Gods>convergence immediately pings Ouroboros, who tells the True Creator>Mad Baptism, Agony and Death, Power MalfunctionHow exactly do you plan on escaping a king of angels of your path and a god while losing control, dying, and having a power malfunction?
>>97691290My S1 is a boon, not a characteristic.
>>97690641>>97691204hermit has to be OP in modern era right? control over information in the digital age
>>97691326Everything is op at s2.
>>97691296S3 can still ping Ouroboros if your location is unlucky (he is luckier than you), and your s2 Error characteristic can ping Amon.
>>97691326If the internet still exists by the time you reach s2, sure.
>>97691204I think ego death build messed up some math at least for wealth:>fake person {+17} (17 wealth)>lucky {+1} (18 wealth)>united service - x2 from origin {+6} (24 wealth)>affluence x3 {-3 / -6 / -12 = -21} (3 wealth)>forbidden literature x2 {-6} (-3 wealth)>beyonder weapon {-4} (-7 wealth)and no idea if there is an extra cost for treatise on trees because I'm not bored enough to calculate his benefits too
>>97691342Yeah, Amon is who I am more concerned with both because he is stronger and just scarier in general to deal with. Error is a fucking cursed Pathway to actually try and go through with him around. Ouroboros is threatening but considering I am literally a wild monster that roamed around for 1000+ years with that in me, I assume he has ruled me out as of immediate interest. By the time I finish dying and cycling my state back to normal I should be able to muster a defense and retreat if need be. He should be more focused on the Uniqueness and handling the True Creator issues than me.
>>97691357A Treatise on Trees was freely taken from Special Task Force's bonus, but you're correct that I miscalc'd Affluence's third level. (I used a 9 instead of a 12.)
>>97691363Ok, I think the build is mostly fine, but why Power Malfunction instead of Mutation?
>>97691031>Thats kinda nuts.It really is, especially since by doing that you get to start with all the discounts too. With the right spread you can make sure you don't have to buy a single thing without a discount, and you essentially get the same bonus as a Sorceress too, other than the color part. 4 affinities also means potentially a lot of elementalism even without being a Sorceress too. It feels like the overall best option for a warlock in general, unless you want to make an extremely niche build that needs something else like infinite goldfishes or similar. There is a DLC magic that does something similar too.>I wasn't sure because the cyoa only specified using your soulbound pearl for changing affinity, not adding a new one.It's the same function, change or add, so it's normal that it includes both. Honestly, using a pearl to change affinity is just a waste, just choose a different race or be a hybrid if you really want different affinities, hell you don't even have to be bound by charge type or mana capacity with the right perks.>Also anons were talking about why the new oc didnt get a lot of buildsYou make some good points, and I think those are defeinitely at least part of the reason. Someone last thread said that everything feels like either a dead end or a trap, that's also probably part of it. Personally I think the setting just isn't appealing, it's a cool setting to read about and I can see why it would have so many fans, it's fun to read about all the machinations of these cults and gods trying to get one up on each other, but I would never want to actually be there.
>>97691432I like the flavor of it better than Mutation is the main reason. It helps that because of Excess Imbuement and the Boons, I have more powers to choose from as well, so while losing one of them is a major setback, I am comparatively better off than most would be.
>>97691442It's still far too risky. If reboot malfunctions, everything falls apart, doesn't it?
>>97691462I can use Sequence 4 EA Circle Inhabitant and Trojan Horse of Destiny together to jury rig essentially the same thing.
>>97691479Can you handle such complex operations while you're losing control?
>>97691485I have a jailbroken Phoenix Feather if not. I also took the Tower Present Fate so an unrelated supernatural disaster is also occurring during the start.
>>97690641I am back.Here's a link with answers to questions I've gathered:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gHcb2N-qWmaolX7AnnwXpGvcHQ6wqjXQ?usp=sharing
>>97691510Is this>>97690977or>>97691194right in regards to applying benefits?
>>97691510MODERNBROS WE'RE FUCKING BACK
>>97691102define "good" cyoa
>>97691538Although you are repeatedly told that buying things on the Blasphemy Slate works cumulatively, discounts apply to the final total point amount of the stuff you're purchasing. That's why I've listed the point total for everything on the Blasphemy Slate, so that it would be easier to apply.
>>97690702RIP build. Not so lucky. >>97685932>>97685953>>97685995>Wheel of Fortune Pathway switch rulesIt appears I was using an incorrect source. That’s a shame, it presented a cool unique gimmick. I’ll note down to fix it.
>>97691510
>>97691510>No, the explanation for obtaining things as coincidences in Modern Day was more about that you get them in the future through happenstance, not that it should carry potential negative implications like Coincidence Points.
>>97691492>Phoenix FeatherYou mean Phoenix Tail? That's a transportation tool; I don't see how it helps.
>>97691510Can you take Tarot Club as a Dark Trailblazer?
>>97691609
>>97691510Also does the Hidden Sage exist In Modern Day?
>>97691618This doesn't reset madness though.
>>97691625Not tankista but no
>>97691638You are annoying.
>>97691653You made a build that's losing control on the spot.
>>97691600I will now play your CYOA's option.See you soon modern bros.
>>97691510Elaboration on companions please.
>>97691663Stop trying to save him. If he's unlucky enough that reboot is what malfunctions, and he can't keep in control long enough to revive himsel,f then he was never lucky enough to make it on the Wheel of Fortune path
>>97691510>>97691600Just a suggestion, but when the cyoa uses a specific term as a point type, and refers to that term in a specific way in the whole thing, it's a good idea to not use the same term in the same exact way when it means something else. You wrote down all point types capitalized when mentioned, if you meant normal coincidences you should have used a non capitalized version at least. Using "Coinidence" implies the point type when it's like that in the whole cyoa, while "coincidence" would at least have the chance to be recognized as something different. Better yet, use a different term.
>>97691663Let him achieve his dreams of being Flegra 2.0, Anon
I just do not care for a reddit series
>>97691703I too hate the Sword and Sorcery azure cyoa.
>>97691594But Anon, you already did.>>97691613That wouldn't really make sense, although it theoretically says you can pick it regardless of your status. Maybe you can treat it as everyone who picked this option getting to gather together in the space above the gray fog every monday, but no one actually having control over Sefirah Castle.>>97691625No. The Uniqueness will eventually appear, but it won't be a sentient god.>>97691677What exactly you want elaborated on?If you're asking how they will appear In Modern Day, then it goes like this:It can be memories assimilated within someone similar, or them straight up appearing on their own.If it's the former, then you can treat it as them starting at Sequence 9 and then being fated to advance to the Sequence they are normally bought at.If it's the latter, they will likely only appear when the overall setting has progressed enough that things at that Sequence start appearing.>>97691691I'll note this down.
>>97691755>companions In Modern Day have the same starting point as us>no higher sequence carry
>>97691773At least they have their memories. S3 knowledge ought to be very useful.
>>97691784if they have the knowledge without the protection perk wouldn't they just go crazy at low seq?
>>97691773You're going to have to settle for artifacts like the rest of us
>>97691794They were not s2, so they presumably don't have knowledge about outer gods.
>>97691510>Does The World: Past even work with Dark Trailblazer?>No, as it’s a special advancement option.How annoying, I've been nerfed.
>>97691755Some companions are very hampered by their short description. For example, why would anyone pick S4 White Tower Emilia King? We barely know anything about her, she doesn't have any lower characteristics, she's an ignorant new beyonder, and her sob story is too brief.Most companions are essentially just vehicles for benefits. For example, S3 Moon Octavie Raph pretty much exists solely for contacting her "friend of a friend" angel. No emotional connection at all.
>>97691897You should revive the Original Creator and show all these selfish anons the error of their ways with a good TANGing
>>97691897well it's a chink setting, other people are only worth being your companions for their benefits
What is the easiest S0 to go for?
>>97691897>S3 Moon Octavie Raph pretty much exists solely for contacting her "friend of a friend" angelShe's useless In Modern Day, huh. Unless tankista says that the angel is pulled along with her.
>>97691928Visionary
>>97691928you mom
>>97691930>The option that invalidates most of the setting, invalidates several options relying on said preexisting settingAre you retarded, why would you ever think it worked otherwise?
>>97691928Which origin?
>>97691955All the Mother paths are actually pretty difficult to get S0 in unfortunately.
>>97691928if you're not going modern day then Fool
>>97691897Yeah, I guess so.I tried giving a number of characters more depth by implying their connections with each other. Like for the aforementioned Emelia being in the same circle taught by Teale Hawthorn (S6 Polymath), with Violaine Cheyenne (S7 Astrologer) and Dennis Corey (S7 Warlock), with her "creator" being Wardell the Unreasonable (S3 Cognizer), who also has his own links, and their links have their links, and so on and so forth.Maybe since the CYOA is already so big, expanding it even further wouldn't make too much a difference. I could theoretically give each Pathway each own page, so that I would have more space to write about characters and artifacts.Maybe even give the same treatment to Outer Deity Pathways, giving them their own ones as well. Although it would be difficult to come up with a hundred different reasons for why each individual character there is not immediately evil.
>>97690609So pathway lore three times costs 18 knowledge points right?
>>9769205714. Anon, did you fail math class?
>>976920572+4+8=14
>>97692069>>97692066BleghI was treating the total six you pay at 2 purchases as the price of taking it twiceKnew I was doing something wrong
>>97690641how much can you fiddle with advancement rituals? If you're going modern day with something like tyrant are are just stuck twiddling your fingers waiting for someone else to get seq 0 so you can challenge them?
Glitches in ICC Plus have prevented me from working on the character I want to work on right now for the past few days.The character in question is, itself, actually a glitch within the CYOA's world/setting.The world truly never ceases to amaze.
>>97691510Remove the limit on potion formulas or add a knowledge option that costs 1 point please. I maxed out on formulas of my path and ended up with 1 point that can't be spent.
>>97692074Advancement Ingenuity is a talent for a reasonYou can try to mess with it without that but it's your funeral
>>97692074You can go to outer space to challenge an outer god.
>>97692074Beat up a uniqueness, since it can work as a deity. It might just barely work.
>>97690641clueless mommy buildI know nothing about the setting so I probably messed something up>ORIGIN: mother's little reincarnatorI like starting young, gives me more time to get used to everything and the benefits are useful for my build>FATES: the high priestess (past), the sun (present), the world (future)>BODY: female>BENEFITS: attractive, strong, lucky>STATUS: non-beyonderI don't mind starting from the bottom, lowered requirements and 2 extra talents is too good to pass up>REGION: feynapotter kingdom>ORGANIZATION: twilight hermit orderfrom other anons I guess doomsday is a bad thing and we should prepare for it, plus a +1 benefit for all is really good>PATHWAY: mother - planter >SPECIAL: half sequenceI'm just planning to go full planter sequence with no switching because a big fan of healing magic and the earth mother sounds to be weakened from 'her' description so maybe it's not the worst path to follow.>HISTORY:>beyonder child - future 9>supernatural investigator - future 8 >dark ritual witness - future 7 lorewise I was born as a half sequence due to my parents who are also beyonders and will then help me to become a full sequence 9 in the future>WEALTH: artifacts (all planter except for withered oak branch - all free due to discounts), affluence T2, charms and amulets x2 (1 monster + 1 warrior), forbidden literature T2 (planter), hidden realmis choosing rituals for your pathway redundant or are they empowered by me being the same path? if it's the prior then I'm changing it to seer

>>97691510>Modern day does not imply meddlingOh, weirdI had made most of a build specifically centered around not spending any of the pointsThis cyoa encourages you to be cautious, I don't think many people would have heard that without worry>Benefits only discount onceAs I expectedGood work on the cyoa though. Very nice
>>97691755When buying them through influences is the limit on the number of recipes/artifacts/companions still valid?
>>97692134goddammit, I just read that benefit discounts only apply once, will have to fix this so ignore this one.
>>97692172Assuming you mean coincidences, then yes.>>97692161>This cyoa encourages you to be cautious, I don't think many people would have heard that without worryThere is such a thing as overcautious. Paranoia is a low madness option, Anon!>>97692089I'll consider it. Maybe I'll make Mystical Languages cost 1 point.
>>97692204I'm taking paranoia because I start with it regardless, making it effectively a free choice
>>97691510I know this is a bit of a setting question, but do you need a potion recipe to make a potion out of a characteristic?(Obviously you would need one for the ritual, but what of the potion itself?)
>>97691510Why is there a 4 times limit on Potion Ingredients? I want to buy more for my advancements. At least make the limit 6 so that s8-3 can be bought.
>>97692261Just buy characteristics.Baka~
>>97692186Where is it written?
>>97692204>Assuming you mean coincidences, then yes.Yes, Thank you.Another thing I'm unsure on, with boon recipient, if you take both a boon and a normal pathway do you pay for it for sequences where you have a free skip?
>Big Manipulator loves anons>wants to manipulate anons towards wholesome happy godhoods, using coincidences>Anons hate Big Manipulator and refuse to take coincidences>Big Manipulator is sad
>>97692278But that's how Big Manipulator may talk to make us His bitches. Truly devious, Big Boy.
>>97692273here >>97691510 just go to the doc of this cyoa and you can filter by the word "benefit", that is why the author put the total cost besides each item because it only applies to the full cost
>>97692278isn't that the entire premise of CYOA anywayseems stupid to not be ''manipulated'' when the other most likely option is to be fed to the ''manipulated'' protagonist tier OP fag
>>97691510The stacked costs in the blasphemy slate are too high. Taking 1 s3 options means almost all your points are gone. It's a complete no brainer to use knowledge gap and bounty to cut costs. Wealth is different though; ingredients of higher sequences have no immediate use and are in fact troublesome to hold on to. So the wealth section is annoying. Also, setting bounties on all companions is dull.
>>97692256If you have a good grasp of mysticism you can replace the secondary ingredients, but you'd still need to take a look at the recipe for the potion to know what alternatives you can use.
>>97692305I rechecked it and there is nothing about only applying to total cost anywhere in q&a. There is also no mention of it on page 2. I have to ask author opinion with an explicit mention of it.
>>97692236I'm sure nothing bad will happen from indulging your desires every once in a while.>>97692256You can just eat the characteristic raw, ignoring the supplementary ingredients. If you are doing this before Sequence 5, your chances of losing control might not even be all that high.That's the purpose of the main ingredient: it is the actual thing you need to advance. Everything else in the formula is there to make sure you actually survive and keep your mind intact afterwards.>>97692261>Why is there a 4 times limit on Potion Ingredients?Originally, this was the limit on Partners, Formulas, and Artifacts. But then I thought that amount to be too limiting, so I increased it.Potion Ingredients were left as they were because I thought it didn't really matter as much.But sure, I'll consider eventually increasing it to 6.>>97692275>Another thing I'm unsure on, with boon recipient, if you take both a boon and a normal pathway do you pay for it for sequences where you have a free skip?If you have a free skip, it only applies for your normal pathway.Alternatively, you might have only boons and no normal advancement via characteristics - in that regard, the free skip will apply to it instead.In essence, the free skip applies to whatever your main advancement method is.
>>97692310On the topic of ingredients, I love and hate how the supplementary ingredients often come from beings in the main ingredients. Love because it is less trouble. Hate because it means I might as well just buy a higher sequence characteristic instead of my next one to rely on convergence since I can't make the potion if I only have a characteristic.
>>97692333Ah, thank you
>>97692327nvm it was here: >>97691551
>>97692307That's how its intended. You don't have to start with everything at Sequence 3. The "default" starting position for things you get should be somewhere around Sequence 6 to 5.If you compare how things are now to the old WIP title page, you'll see that I actually increased the amount of points you get. I considered increasing it further by around 5 points, and may return to this decision some day - but no more.>>97692327I stated it here: >>97691551
>>97692346 >>97692347Thank you. It was really not obvious.

Most notably, I dropped Affluence because I figured I shouldn't really have issues making money as one of the first beyonders, took advantage of the free artifacts and partners you can get (also rip Tarot Club, the less coincidence points I spend the better). Overall plan remains the same though, in the sense that I still don't know what I'm doing. At least I have a decent teacher in the form of Mr. Kott, and I should be able to get through the early stages relatively easily due to my skill in acting and the fact that I already have the ingredients; once I reach 5 I should hopefully have a much better idea of how things work.
>>97692366>Effectively is it possible to take a sequence 1 boon? How much does it cost?Just reread, and yes, that's the point of buying it twice.Well, time to say goodbye to the plan I was making.
>>97691510I can't see if the qna answers this, what's the status of the sefirot in modern day? If high sequence things dont exist yet are the sefirot not showing up for years? Are they asleep? Can you still immediately receive boons from them? Does the world immediately explode from malevolent gods killing everyone?
>>97692366>Effectively is it possible to take a sequence 1 boon? How much does it cost?If you already have Sequence 2 as normal advancement, then I think it should be allowed to get Sequence 1 as a boon alone, even if you lack any preceding ones for it. The price doesn't change, it's as stated in the Angel perk: you pay 5 Coincidence Points and take 1 high madness with 1 low madness.>Also you need to take all sequences in your boon or can you just take the ones you want the most?The Angel's perk description tells you that you need to be at Sequence 2 to take Sequence 1.But if you advancing via boons only (i.e. its your main method), then you can use Missing Groundwork to start at Sequence 2 after buying the Angel perk.Regardless, you still can't pick something like Sequence 9 and then Sequence 7 even as a boon, it shouldn't be allowed whether it's your main advancement or not. You can pick and match like that if it's Excess Imbuement, since you already have all of them.
>>97690641Would getting Sequence 8 formula from High Priestess Past, allow to take the following formula with Knowledge Gap, so the discount from Benefits apply to each individual price, or you must take Standard and just remove the cost of the S9-8 from the total ?
>>97691326Hermit is always OP.
>>97692395Consider that they are both asleep and don't have any actual wills driving them. They will appear only once actual high Sequence things begin to appear when the setting had "developed" enough.You could try to get boons from them if you have Orthodox Integration as a talent even if they are not present - disregarding that the main point behind the talent is to be able to start with Boon Recipient, which you cannot have In Modern Day.The world is not intended to instantly end. Assuming things don't go horribly wrong and all new Beyonders act reasonably to keep thing sane in the shadows, the current modern civilization might keep going completely intact, unaware of the supernatural.>>97692412You can just remove the formulas you already know from the equation with Knowledge Gap and then apply discounts for what remains, yes. The only downside is that it will be harder to calculate for yourself.

>anon makes the build I was going to makewhat do i do now
>>97691510independent Node says you can change small details of your abilities. To what extent? Can I pull an Amon?
>>97692472Compete with this guy >>97684811 to become GAOr make a LOTM build, I don't think anyone gone LOTM yetI'd have thought there'd be more Error builds in Modern Day since there's no Amon
>>97692482Error gaming in modern day is who can rush their way into amonmaxxing kek
>>97692437Yes, as I said here: >>97692347>>97692460Yes, same as Zella having access to 4 Sealed Artifacts.However, these two characters are certainly not getting buffed to match the limit of 6, that would make it excessive.>>97692478In what manner do you want to pull an Amon? If you think this will make it so that you limit and shift abilities around for other people on the Pathway, then that isn't happening, you only affect your own ones.But the extent should similar to that Amon had displayed on the Error Pathway. Maybe you could give your Listener Sequence ability to seal it off and not listen, maybe you could make it so that genderbending of the Demoness Pathway is delayed until Sequence 6, or undo the changes Amon made for the Error Pathway, and so on.
>>97692472Make a better build, one that will blow the pants off the other.
Uniqueness as an option is kinda broken for Modern Day as it ensures you will become s1 at least. And because it is very hard to obtain Coincidence Points, everyone willing to compete for the top spot is reduced to One-True-Build with The Justice: Past.
>>97692507What does it do exactly?
>>97692507>ensuresCoincidences aren't guarantees thoughbeit. Since uniquenesses aren't appearing for a while they are especially susceptible to exceptional circumstancesThat leads to another question, in a multiplayer scenario who's coincidences take precedence?
>>97692519Whoever is the most powerful and fated (convergence + luck + actual fate manipulation).
>>97692514Limited access to Sequence 0 abilities while you are still Sequence 1.
>>97692424I don't think you can take bounty multiple times
>>97692529How does it ensure you become S1?
>>97692541Eh, everything else on that page that can only be taken once goes out of its way to say so
>>97692546It makes you have good odds accommodating it, something only s1 can do.
Which GOO anon would have the most powerful organization and subordinates?>GA church gets to have 10 sequence 1 angels + however many more characteristics GA can envision>LoTM & ED churches get 6 sequence 1 angels each>CoD, DoK, GoO, TA, FoD churches get 4 sequence 1 angels each>KoL gets a measly 2 sequence 1 angels
>>97692553It says "One of"I feel like that means one and only one

But without the angel level, the requirement for luck might be higher.
>>97692564Depends on how many sequence 1 angel historical projections LOTM can sustain
>>97692564DoK has technology, which always prevails
>>97692572Yes, because the option applies to one partner at a time. How else would you word that?
>>97692564Every non Pillar GOO can theoretically increase their pathway count by doing the same thing the Outer Deities were doing. You just need to kill one, take their sefirot and characteristics, and accommodate them to create your own custom GOO seat. Simple.
>>97692584>pure technology can reach s2 in power>DoK can have an infinite army of machine angelsHow many s2 angels equal 1 s1 angel
>>97692564>the most powerful organization and subordinatesThe inevitable God Almighty + Lord of Mysteries alliance, where GA gives LoM S1 boons, and LoM responds in kind. This creates a counterbalance against Celestial Worthy and Primordial God Almighty, using each other from reviving like two hamsters in wheels.This will lower the number of S1 angels each has, but since they are pooled together and their efforts are combined, they roflstomp everyone else.Outer Deities kneel. Mother Goddess of Depravity has infinite heart attacks. Mother Tree of Desire gives up on her half and eats Inextinguishable Ravings before running away into hiding. Son of Chaos switches sides.
>>97692591I think inherently the fact that this would allow you to take multiple s3's at little cost and many characters at no cost implies that it isn't that wayIf I were wording it for multiple characters I would have said one or more, because it would refer to one or more
>>97692575But you'd still have to do the ritual somehow.
>>97692606Let's agree to disagree because once againThat page goes out of its way to state if an option can only be taken once, even for the extremely obvious ones. If this were one of them, then it would say so.

>>97692606>I think inherently the fact that this would allow you to take multiple s3's at little cost The cost is the bounty
>>97692624Wow, the DoK church might actually be the strongest then
>>97692632Errors will steal, Towers too (or even invent).
>>97690641Potions Ingredients's price is before or after the discount from Benefits ?

>>97692649It is less trivial In Modern Day. S9s job to guns.
>>97692649In the 5th Epoch it would be a bounty for a sequence 3 beyonder, in a world where multiple sequence 3 or higher beyonders might be willing to collect on it In Modern Day, if they're a Sequence 3, then by the time they arrive, you're probably a sequence 3 and have had time to groom more Sequence 3s, or they're a Sequence 9(fated to reach sequence 9 but still a sequence 9)It's only trivial if you spend more to make it trivial

If you buy Ingredients and then buy the actual artifact for that sequence, will there be a discount on both.
>>97691510Can you use the personal history option future advancement in modern day origin? As I am not sure if the origin block all the personal history options or only those related to the world described here

>>97693071Yes.

>>97693196if it's a future advancement that means you will canonically take that long to go up the sequenceif it's a past advancement then you become older
>>97693196You were just that good before recovering your memories of being a bum
>>97693204>if it's a past advancement then you become olderThat's for normal originsMother Little Reincarnator will always start at 10 after the cyoa
>>97691755>If you're asking how they will appear In Modern Day, then it goes like this:>It can be memories assimilated within someone similar, or them straight up appearing on their own.>If it's the former, then you can treat it as them starting at Sequence 9 and then being fated to advance to the Sequence they are normally bought at.Put this in the cyoa.
>>97692927Only for the classes that don't have raw power backing them up.
>>97692837>>97692843>>97692858>>97692867Thanks :)
>>97693220>>97693214Fucking Child Prodigy's. Attaining a Sequence level in a 5th of the time it takes some people.Their youngest friend being twice their age. Amassing wealth and artifacts it would otherwise take a lifetime to attain.Jesus, who's letting these ten year olds advance this far in to society so quickly?
>>97693016I think an interesting twist on that is the more willful the princess is, the more likely she is able to take the throne. So if you back the horses with the lesser chances to win, then your children will take your name, you will be the one ruling, etc.>Most Powerful Princess: Treats you as her consort>Strong Princess: Treats you as her #1 advisor>Above Average Princess: Will rule jointly with you in a truly egalitarian way>Average Princess: Will rule jointly with you and leave rulership mostly to you, but your children will bear her valuable family name>Below Average Princess: You will be King, she will be your Queen in the traditional manner>Weak Princess: You get anything you want, and can do anything you want, just let her get revenge/survive the coming conflict
>>97690641Just to clarify, if I dodge beauty goddess and desolate matriarch I can be a male goddess of origin?
>>97691438Ty anon <3 honestly I only want the pearls for discounts since my build is basically div 5 + necro 5 + (oread+changling+mimi) + hex 5 + portals/aethernaut/the sacrafice magic for the reapers scyth. I just wanna sit in someones lap and be omniscient getting headpats all day and reversing curses :3 and ferrying lost souls to thier afterlives which is what made me turn on hating necro and deciding it was cool, but thats a lot of 5s so i need 4s and 3s i dont want to balance it out T-T hence me wanting discounts... >>97693016Probably the best path for this is being some kind of knight destined to protect/mentor/help your waifu become a king/princess. Each waifu has different>backgrounds/story>race? (monstergirl fuckers rise up. also its probably fantasy so dwarfs elves etc)>goals (primary/secondary, like simply 'become king' or more personal goals like '...to protect her race' or '...to eliminate all dragons' or '...use her kingship to gain access to the royal library and do <x>' etc) this gives you the primary abd secondary motivation behind your waifu wanting to take the throne>goals again (general goals once primary and/or secondary goals are met. basically ideals or long term goals for the kingdom. things like 'i want everyone to follow <x> religion/deity (or alternatively praise me as a diety)' or 'i want to return to traditionalism' or 'i want no one to go hungry/without a home' or even some lib shit like 'i want equity' as long as you say it in a way that doesn't take you out of the fantasy setting.) this gives you an idea of what your waifu is like and whats important to her, once the primary/secondary goals are met. it could also have extra details in there (what else does she want to do in general? does she think these goals are possible or just an ideal? why this general goal over any other? etc)Hold on hit char limit

Idk your choice if you want there to be build balance or just a fantasy thing ^^then for the rest of it just make it a typical build builder yk how it goes. Include some journey/adventure options, banes, etc... imo starting points should come from waifu choice but ik that would be unpopular/unfun. add some enemy choices. idk you know how it is.
>>97693488nta but high priestess
>>97693496read mogged and cortisol spiked
>>97690641Do we still get convergence events and their benefits for future advancement?
>>97693512What does that mean?
>>97693112>Especially in fiction where everything is set out in stone instead of being responsiveNTA but that's a fascinating viewpoint. Isn't fiction usually the home of change, impossible power fantasies, and social mobility, while reality is the one that's slow or impossible to change?
>>97693016This is a bit too vague to give a proper answer as there are a lot of different ways to be a kingmaker, and a lot of different relationships you can have with the prospective king both during and after. Is it a Merlin deal? Where you act as a wise mentor and advisor? Is it more a barbarian deal where you conquer the lands and she rules them after? Do you end up marrying her, just with no political power? Having to marry her off to someone else would be cuckshit and that's clearly a dealbreaker for any sane person. As others said, it depends, I am one of those that cares more about personal power than large scale governing.
>>97693447Based idea
>>97693447Sounds lame, like you want permission to cheat the premise.
>>97693534I occasionally boredly leaf through femdom related things and they almost always start into a monologue about how you are a self hating submissiveIt triggers a homicidal instinct in meI just really don't like being ignored in close relationships I guess
>>97693481> if taking Lucky do make you luckier,It does not.
>>97693577That's fair, though it does sound like you're perusing the more sloppish side of femdom
>>97693594I don't really seek that sort of thing out, so I wouldn't really knowIn the end I have only discovered myself
>>97691510Are potion ingredients discounted by benefits?
>>97693662Nta but they should be. They are on the Blasphemy Slate, everything on there should be discounted by benefits.
>>97693662I would assume so
>>97693577Nta but sadly most people equate femdom, and dom stuff in general with humiliation, which isn't really the case. You can have femdom without it, but it's very rare. It also doesn't help that being submissive is also equated with being a masochist, which is also not always true. I don't hate femdom by itself, but for some reason most content for it is always as extreme as possible. At least it's pretty clear when it's going to be that way because they tend to set the tone very early on for that stuff.
>>97693563It would be odd if all the claimants to throne where in the exact same position, with the only difference coming from their personality and appearance.Naturally a firstborn princess would have more support than a legitimized bastard princess last in line for the throne.
>>97693704I find well-balanced, gentle, and healthy femdom is the overwhelming majority, at least for yuri. I don't really see the super degrading humiliation stuff much at all
Coolest cyoa concepts you've come across?
>>97693727It would be really odd if most of the options in the kingmaking game ended up with the player as the ruling monarch.

>>97693761Well it was only an example. Anons need some kind of motivation to pick the hard mode options.
>>97693768>I will steal everything then bail without helping with the apocalypse, depriving earth of a pillar and whatever else I decide to stealAnd here I thought the Abyss guy would be the most evil build

>>97693790I will be making replicasNo one will notice a thing
>>97693778>interestingIt just means the fifth epoch is a seedbed of problems you should dodge.You get a streamlined, easier experience in Modern Day, and not taking that road is retarded.
>>97693778>Isn't that a lot less interesting for adventures than Klein's day?Not really since things are going to get really chaotic really fast. Also, more GOO paths are viable with it and anons are really eager to get negged by OC's lingering will
>>97693778I think the other options are less interesting. I don't want to insert myself into Kleins story, I want to make a new story with my fellow anons :)

>>97693907Making unknown higher powers hate you is supposed to be courting death in the setting(But if you can do it more then once then the downsides cancel out)
>>97693861Yes, that was what I realized, that I'm a Door, he's an Error. The other paths I really like, like reader or savant, are either taken or have other problems, so it seems a good idea to continue with this.
>>97693909>now knowsThey were gonna find out eventually. Too many beyonder characteristics for them not to, so you might as well get some benefit out of it.
>>97693907Outside modern day the higher sequence powers can root you out all at once when you meet, or manipulate fate itself
>>97693016>>97693087This. I don't give a shit about ruling anything, especially when there's actual magic or superpowers available. Political power is a distant second compared to the power of the dark side. Frankly, assuming you're ruling properly (i.e. actually trying to run the nation well) then being the ruler is basically just a really high level management position with a lot of extra bullshit. People say power corrupts, and that's true. But wielding power responsibly is also just kind of fucking boring. The reason that sociopaths so often end up in positions of power is because having power over their fellow man to play out their twisted power fantasies is fun for them, when a normal person just sees a lot of annoying paperwork and meetings in their future as supreme ruler.I'd rather hand that shit off to someone who wants to deal with it and be personally powerful enough that my opinion has to be respected when i actually do want something. Being Merlin sounds more fun than being King Arthur.

>>97691510About Nascent Outer Deity, how does future advancement in Sequence 2 and 1 work? Does taking the Angel perk count as future advancement and consider the formulas and ingredients included?

>>97693980This is one of the nicest compliments you could possibly give me.
>>97693941Not him, but I don't think the angel perk has any sense for a non-beyonder, wich a nascent outer deity is by default.

>>97694081It's the safest path to ascension AND its options aren't traps like you feared.
>>97693016My first exposure to this was Suikoden 5, where pretty much the entire game is about saving your little sister and making her queen, where seizing power yourself is a bad ending. Your reward for all this is your imouto making you her right-hand/general, which is a position that's supposed to be for her husband only and then she refuses to marry anyone (wink wink nudge nudge you're fucking your sister.)
>>97694081how, modern day is hunger games on crack
>>97694105>>97694097You guys suck and I don't want to play with you.

>>97694267Alteration to EDO, hopefully without errors. Big changes are switching out from Fake Person to take advantage of Wild Beyonder and Convergent Events. Also finally got what the Benefits are supposed to be and applied discounts and purifications where possible. This build's whole plan is to pursue a Sainthood under Evernight while waiting on an opportunity to stab at Ouro, enabled on the big picture with Dolores, Tiara, and Evernight, and enabled on the small scale with Merle, Violainne, and Simon. Could've invested in more Sequence 9s to guide, but this build is going to find enough of them in the Forsaken Lands.If Tank's still here, Can I take Excess Imbuement to Rank 2, then use Family Matters to get a Sequence 2 Partner?
>>97694178
>>97694267+Mystical Language x 3, Beyonder Creatures, Mystical RitualsHonestly, you roughly can focus on one resource point if you're Converging, and two if you're using Excess, triple if you're using something like Recipient to get more events. You can't triple focus or double focus on one point because the events and picks are limited. I can imagine collapsing from the 44 pager that would follow if the events stop being limited though.

>>97694344having the tarot club with anons is worth awakening CW
>>97693072NTA But in theory you could be the shadow puppeteer of the woman in charge you played kingmaker for so thats a possibility
>>97690641Is there any benefit to rolling your Tarot?I did and while I like what I ended up with for Past and Present, Future doesn't really benefit me at all and is essentially a waste of three Benefits.Also, if Tank is still answering questions, how does he explain Mothers Reincarnator accumulating so much power and resources by the age of 10?Is it assumed that the players don't actually have access to all of it just yet but will gain their options at an appropriate age? Or are they literally treated as child prodigies with people bending over backwards to accommodate them?
>>97693112NTA Well its not certain itll be femdom its just you put her on the throne so theres alot of ways it could end up as like youre playing the merlin type advisor or her secret master or youre just doing this so the wars fuckin stop for two minutes and you can go back home and get some goddamn sleep for once kek
>>97693537NTA But personally i kinda get that in a way, i think the way i might like this most is if theres an option where you put the girl on the throne to make shit stop breaking down and then you get to fuck off and do whatever you want like idk run a simple workshop in town or maybe become a researcher for the royal court or smth that lets you just do what you wanna do after its all said and done
>>97694456>how does he explain Mothers Reincarnator accumulating so much power and resources by the age of 10?Is it not obvious that it's the mother goddess?That she just sent you with those?
>>97694456Pretty sure the 10 years old thing is just for lifespan.
>>97694484At no point does the option imply that you were reincarnated in a vacuum. You go through and pick Personal History option as if you grew in to them and at least one of these implies you are born to a pre-established family.Picrel basically says you grew to the age of 10 and then had the memories of your past life restored.It's unclear if by "Past Life" it means the options you pick to make your build, us sitting in front of a screen picking those options, or both.
>>97694506wut?
>>97693930NTA I mean something to be aware of is there are some people who like playing games that are essentially spreadsheet simulator like hearts of iron or crusader kings etcSome people do infact prefer being king and running their realm themself rather than having only powers and making others run it for them and some even prefer having control of the realm over even having the special powers and whatnot it depends on the person what they likeNot to say theres anything wrong with prefering to be merlin or a cape or smth over being a ruler as personally id probably also fit into that camp (Especially with me more than likely wanting to establish a stable ruler solely so i can be left alone and idk craft Dolls, Golems, Magic Scrolls and whatnot till the end of my days in my personal workshop maybe with some assistants and/or a life partner), im just saying there will be people who want the crown, luckily there doesnt seem to be anything stopping puppet queens or smth like that for those who wanna play shadow government
>>97694514Not!you spent the normal amount of time in the world advancing, gaining assets, etc. Before you awakened, not!you somehow made their body that of a child and extended your lifespan to as if you are just 10 years old.
Am I right or wrong that LoTM Adam looks like Hazbin Hotel Adam?
>>97690641I am the Eyes that Bind, and I do not create. I maintain, and all shall be contained. My body is countless locks, linked together in a massive chain.

Create your builds while the world stoll holds together.

Chill for a while and then converge everything in existence into 'Myself' after a trillion years passes, I guess. Maybe bang 'My' daughters again too.
>>97694694And you can't take them later?
>>97694740You can take them later but a Sequence 0 doesn't really need anything less than Sequence 1 characteristics of an adjacent pathway. You just can't have any foreign characteristics during your apotheosis, gotta be pure.If you accommodate the Uniqueness of an adjacent path plus one or more Sequence 1 characteristics you can become a multi-pathway god, but this makes your chances of surviving the ascension to GOO worse.

If they leverage their unique traits, they can exceed 100. For example, a fully realized Calamity of Destruction (merging the Original Creator's masculine/feminine aspects) would be outright overpowered.

>>97692978Personal History and all of its events are blocked, but I could allow it since Reasonable Development has a redundant option that points towards future advancement.However, that's simply wasteful. Since you need to advance using Coincidence Points, which you can only get a few of, you will be spending them on low Sequence advancements.>>97693071You can remove it after you are actually there, if you figure out a way to do so.>>97693196>>97694456You can consider that one of your parents may actually be an angel or even a True God, if your Sequence is sufficiently high.You could have advanced with their aid, or had a higher starting Sequence, or anything like that.>>97693255In Modern Day is already quite limited in space for things to write.

>>97693941You can't take the Angel perk when you're a non-Beyonder, since for it you need either advancing all the way up to it normally, or having Missing Groundwork.Even with Boon Pillager you still can't ignore the rule that says you need Boon Recipient for the second purchase. All Sequence 1 characteristics are already accounted for, you can't justify stealing them from an actual character or artifact, even if we barely know anything about them.>>97694212But who would reliably buy your two Sequence 3 characteristics instead of just killing you and taking them for free?>>97694252Maybe a common section that mixes all point types could serve for that? We'll see.>>97694276>Can I take Excess Imbuement to Rank 2, then use Family Matters to get a Sequence 2 Partner?No, it only goes up to Sequence 5. Your excess above that point will stay with you.

You've already dissasembled the concept into other mental boosts, the Gift of this name was left mainly dealing with creativity and the smaller part of critical thinking.>What happens to Apantoxia under Theta?# The Secret Meaning of "One"1: The Icon of Icons is connected to the letter Lyudi, and the prophet Mithra, who is hinted to be the origin of that letter itself and certainly the Gift itself. Also notice that it is the letter that fates people to be killed by their own friends.2: Mithra is obviously heavily based on Jesus, who is known for, among other things, having a lot of friends. Keeping many close friendships is obviously something rewarded by the Icon of Icons itself. From these two facts, we can deduce that Mithra had a long list of apostles even if it wasn't stated.3: "One" knew the intentions of Mithra, a being on the cusp of godhood, who knew the mechanics of the Outsider System. It's likely that he was reading the CYOA himself and commenting within it for the benefit of "One", or that Fate spoiled him about the coming of the First Seat. With either in mind, it's clear that "One" knew Mithra before he was even born, a relationship that could be even closer than family.4: Outer Reincarnation is influenced by many fringe Abrahamic and Middle-Eastern teachings. One of the Gnostic gospels says that Judas Iscariot was really Christ's number one man because he understood the Plan and its entailed conclusions better than anyone. By fating Mithra to be executed through the Outsider System, this would put "One" in a similar position to Judas in both narratives.5: In conclusion, the name of "One" really Means that he was both Mithra's closest apostle, and the fantasy version of Judas.
>>97695724>You can consider that one of your parents may actually be an angel or even a True GodI guessAnd this is thematically synergetic with me taking 'Blessed'.I am liable to sartre a lot of my stuff coming to me at a later date. Or that I met certain Partners before they achieved their listed status.Tho maybe Mommy's Little Pogchamp just isn't the Origin for me if I'm wanting to take on the role of a mentor-like figure for lower Sequence Beyonders that need help (>>97690875).
>>97695733One of the earliest lines is about Leon's newest steam cannons being able to kill demigods anon. If even pseudo-medieval backwards technology can kill demigods than obviously modern weapons can. Most sequence 4s are worthless against modern military. The biggest risks in Modern Day builds aren't other anons or the GOO outside the barrier. Its nations and governments with modern equipment. Only Angels and a few sequence 3s are really completely above modern military.
>>97695727Hi Tankista.If it's not abother I would like to ask a pair of questionsIs it possible to get excess imbuement for the angel tiers? If so how much does it cost?Is it possible to extract singular sequences from a beyonder caracteristic itsm, to help with its disgestion? If so would the ritual book item let you do that?
>>97695756>take on the role of a mentor-like figure for lower Sequence Beyonders that need help>as a 10 year oldDo it, it can be like one of those trashy reincarnation isekais
>>97695777I hate those tho.Maybe I can know them through being a pen pal?Then we finally meet later in life once they've come full into their powers (and mid age). Only for me to be a young man barely in my 20's.Could be funny.

>>97695818Ah, ok (I was perplexed by what you meant as the most expensive option), then either take the talent for developing new progressions or cheat.
>>97695806Would multiple people taking that talent stack with each other?
>>97695733Tech always wins baby
>>97694529I mean, I enjoy those games too. But playing a game where you're a king and actually being a king are very different beasts. It's not like Civilization where you are the embodiment of your nation and everything just happens. Being a king in real life is actually, as I said, a high level management position. It's not numbers going up or people just obeying you like you're a hive mind (unless you actually are). Being king is pretty much entirely a management position, of choosing the right people to delegate tasks to and engaging in actual politics and negotiations of a type that just is not in any videogame to my knowledge.And how many anons here do we think are good with people to that extent? And not only good with people, good with people to the point of *enjoying* playing politics?Unlike playing Civ or Crusader Kings which are abstractions, in a CYOA I'm fully self-inserting and thinking what it would actually be like. And thinking yeah, i don't want to do that. Not that there *can't* be good people who would want to be leader for the sake of good. Though they'll be rare as hens teeth, good politicians exist. But the fun/depressing thing about humanity is that the skills/personality types required to *get* into power through politics are not the same as the skills/personality required to be a good & just ruler. The former it helps for being a complete sociopath, the latter not so much. Which is why the best thing to do is conquer the country with your sorcerous powers and then find a convenient Clement Attlee type to actually run it well.
>>97695750>Are any of the candidates likely to be abusive lovers (not counting P*xxia)?Not really. It is possible to twist it that way with some, but the default assumption is that things will be peachy. I don’t really want to think about it, so I won’t give any names and define it.>Were Syllia's beliefs orthodox for the Tripartite Sanctity?No, that’s why she is stated to be rare.Tripartite system should be mainly about worshipping all three Elder Gods equally, but viewing each as three representations of three different God-Scripts that were merged into one.>Rename Intelligence, to be honest. You've already dissasembled the concept into other mental boosts, the Gift of this name was left mainly dealing with creativity and the smaller part of critical thinking.Hmm… I’ll think about it, but it’s not a priority.>What happens to Apantoxia under Theta?Theta states that you no longer have any Companions by default, so she should be born regularly as if she weren’t picked. Maybe we can justify that she will have some spiritual connection to you, with you counting as her secret Godfather.># The Secret Meaning of "One"Yes, this is correct. Maybe I’ll add that he also ended up partially becoming a Christ-like figure in the end as well.I can also give you secret behind the scenes scoop: Back when the CYOA's details were mostly undefined beyond the God-Script's outline and the Elder Gods, I wanted to name him "Bob" and make him kind of a joke character. My second in command verbally abused me until I relented. After a long discussion, I accepted his suggestion to name him "One", and then built from that point on.
>>97695759>Is it possible to get excess imbuement for the angel tiers? If so how much does it cost?The problem with those is that their number is so low, it’s hard to justify you having more than one Sequence 2 characteristic, or even that one at all. With lower Sequences it’s easy to just say it’s some previously unaccounted one when there’s so many of them. Position of the Fool’s Sequence 2 characteristics is known, so you having even one is already a breach.That’s why the Angel perk states it can only be bought twice, and the second time is only through a boon.So, no, you can’t get Excess Imbuement for Angel Sequences.>Is it possible to extract singular sequences from a beyonder caracteristic itsm, to help with its disgestion? If so would the ritual book item let you do that?Sealed Artifacts are a result of characteristics merging with an object, so yes, they can be extracted. However, this can only be done by angels, or by an Unshadowed (Sequence 4 of the Sun) slowly purifying them.If this is done, you can use them as main ingredients for your next advancement.But this has nothing to do with digestion. If anything, consuming them as future Excess Imbuement will only worsen your digestion, because there’s now more you’ll need to digest.Ritual book doesn’t pose anything to aid in this matter.
>>97695859>by an Unshadowed (Sequence 4 of the Sun) slowly purifying them.I wondered wether it worked on objects.>But this has nothing to do with digestion. If anything, consuming them as future Excess Imbuement will only worsen your digestion, because there’s now more you’ll need to digest.No, I was more worried about the thing you mentioned that the beyonder characteristic we buy contains all sequences below itself and this might give problems to digest them, I wanted to extract them to absorb them in order and separately.
>>97695859To become a calamity of destruction would I have to switch every sequence, have the same amount of sequences in both or what? And would it be possible to stop the creation of the mirrored original creator dividing my yin and yang between myself and my mirror self?
>>97695880>I wondered wether it worked on objects.It definitely should work on characteristics, but now that I think about it, I'm no longer sure about Sealed Artifacts.>No, I was more worried about the thing you mentioned that the beyonder characteristic we buy contains all sequences below itself and this might give problems to digest them, I wanted to extract them to absorb them in order and separately.Ah, if that's your intent then it should be fine. If you simply shatter or purify the characteristic to split it into parts you actually need, it will work in place of the main ingredient.>>97695897>To become a calamity of destruction would I have to switch every sequence, have the same amount of sequences in both or what?Successful example that we know of was going:Sequence 9 to 5 as Red Priest, Sequence 4 to 3 as Demoness, Sequence 2 as Red Priest, and then becoming a mad abomination as a dual Pathway King of Angels at Sequence 1 as both Demoness and Red Priest. This final step is likely not necessary.>And would it be possible to stop the creation of the mirrored original creator dividing my yin and yang between myself and my mirror self?I think that's insufficient.If you're In Modern Day, since it states that condition of beings like Primordial God Almighty matches how it was in the Fifth Epoch, it's fine to assume that 'His' chaotic head will still be there to prevent merging and creation of the Mirrored Original Creator. But due to the origin shenanigans, it won't have any will to make an impact either, creating a balance you could theoretically rely on.The goal of this scenario is to make every possible road clear to take, after all.
>>97695903>Ah, if that's your intent then it should be fine. If you simply shatter or purify the characteristic to split it into parts you actually need, it will work in place of the main ingredient.Thank you for the answer previously I bought 6 different beyonder characteristics, if I can simply shatter it it gets much simpler for my wealth.Other two questions:Is there a particular reason we can't take the second angel tier with boon plunderer?When you buy a formula of an high rank does it still counts as only one potion or does it also occupy slots for the formula that come with it? I would think the first.
>>97695934>Thank you for the answer previously I bought 6 different beyonder characteristics, if I can simply shatter it it gets much simpler for my wealth.It's not simple. Again, you need to either be already an angel to do this (at which point you don't need the characteristics), or an Unshadowed.>Is there a particular reason we can't take the second angel tier with boon plunderer?Like I said before here: >>97695859"The problem with those is that their number is so low, it’s hard to justify you having more than one Sequence 2 characteristic, or even that one at all."Sure, we don't know the names of Sequence 1 angels of Outer Deities or how they look like, but we do know that they exist, and therefore you can't make history retroactively wrong through this choice undoing them.>When you buy a formula of an high rank does it still counts as only one potion or does it also occupy slots for the formula that come with it? I would think the first.It will include all Potion Formulas below it in Sequence, and it will occupy a single slot.Additionally, you should keep in mind that you also come out automatically knowing the Potion Formulas of the Sequence you're at and below.
>>97695952Thank you again.
>>97695968nta but no problem.
>>97695952>It's not simple. Again, you need to either be already an angel to do this (at which point you don't need the characteristics), or an Unshadowed.And instead buying multiple of them has the problem of eating too many iterations of the same characteristics, wich heightens the risk of losing control, right?This is a long shot but would the beacon of purity be able to purify them?
>>97695977>And instead buying multiple of them has the problem of eating too many iterations of the same characteristics, wich heightens the risk of losing control, right?Yes.>This is a long shot but would the beacon of purity be able to purify them?I wanted to avoid it being the same thing as the Unshadowed Crucifix from the story, so no.If you are doing this In Modern Day as a Sequence 9, you have a better shot with Potion Ingredients. Maybe include Beyonder Characteristics for the starting lower Sequences, since the risk there shouldn't be as high.
>>97695952Please, Tank, I need to know.For Mother's Little Reincarnator, Am I correct in interpreting it as thus;>we make our build>this represents the life we lead>we then die>proceed to be reborn as a fresh baby>live 10 years>remember our past life???Why am I so autisticly hung up on this bros. .
>>97695983I already have bought the potions (by the way they aren't affectee by benefit discounts, right?)Even more of a long shot but maybe nightly anything could be used to summon Antigonus to extract them?
>>97695992Yes. How else could you possibly interpret it?>>97695997They are affected by discounts, since it uses prices displayed on the Blasphemy Slate.Projection of Antigonus could be a good solution, yeah.
>>97696004>Yes. How else could you possibly interpret it?Several ways. None of which make sense.So do we just unlock our previously purchased Sequences once we hit 10? Or do we have to unlock them all over again but this time we remember how we did it?Do our Partners think we've been dead for 10 years? Will we have to track them down after all this time and get back in contact with them and convince them that this 10 year old they're now talking to is their old friend reborn?PleaseTankI'm tired
>>97696010>So do we just unlock our previously purchased Sequences once we hit 10? Or do we have to unlock them all over again but this time we remember how we did it?No? The child you without memories can still have the same purchased Sequences. Then when you recover your memories, nothing had changed. You're still at the same Sequence you had purchased.>Do our Partners think we've been dead for 10 years????Why would they?>Please>Tank>I'm tiredI can see that.
>>97696004Formulas can be purchased separately, unlike artifacts or partners, does it mean that they are discounted separately too?
>>97696004>They are affected by discounts, since it uses prices displayed on the Blasphemy Slate.>Projection of Antigonus could be a good solution, yeah.Thank you. Finally managed it. Nightly anything's flaw is horrifying, I will always have to be careful to use it less than a minute, and it seems I will have to renounce to my hidden realm (max I reach in wealth in modern times is 36, I would need 38) but I did it.
>>97696034>modern times is 3625 + 4 from WoF: Past + 6 from traits (with Coincedence points). Where is the last point?

>>97690641Is there even a reason to pick something else than Modern Day?
>>97696060Start by ending typos in your posts.
>>97696054Using traits to gain 3 wealth and 3 influence, then using the influence to go to sequence 8 and taking mystical dilettante (would prefer beyonder child but it makes no sense in modern age) and bounty hunter, for a +4.
>>97696028When you pick Knowledge Gap, you gather the total amount of points you will spend on the formulas you had chosen, and then apply the discount.When you apply Incomplete Formula to a specific one in the bundle, you cut its individual price (not the total amount stated in brackets) in half, and then apply the discount to the whole bundle.>>97696010I still worry about this Anon affected by crazed ravings, so I will purify him with knowledge, to really make sure there can be no misunderstandings:You, the Anon reading this, will finish your build as Mother's Little Reincarnator. The moment you do so, your soul will be ripped out and sent into the Cosmos. Then, after thousands of years, you are reincarnated as a child. The child then goes on through all of the things stated in Personal History, getting all the Partners and advancing up the Sequences. And then you recover your past memories as that child.
>>97696060>Mother Goddess of DesireShe is THE Envious bitch. You just solved yourself.
>>97696072>When you pick Knowledge Gap, you gather the total amount of points you will spend on the formulas you had chosen, and then apply the discount.>When you apply Incomplete Formula to a specific one in the bundle, you cut its individual price (not the total amount stated in brackets) in half, and then apply the discount to the whole bundle.You mean standard(total price) and knowledge gap(specific formula)
>>97696060ngmi
>>97696065>using the influence to go to sequence 8>taking mystical dilettanteYou can't choose anything on the personal history page in Modern Day
>>97696090Before it was mentioned the possibility of using it for the future>>97695724Personal History and all of its events are blocked, but I could allow it since Reasonable Development has a redundant option that points towards future advancement.
>>97696078Knowledge Gap can be used to get multiple formulas, and Incomplete Formula can be applied to a specific one (or multiple) in Standard or Knowledge Gap formulas. I meant what I said.Let's provide you an example.You pick Standard for Error up to Sequence 6. Normally it would cost 8 points, but if you have 2 Benefits in that Pathway, it will cost 6.You pick Knowledge Gap to pick formulas of Visionary of Sequence 9, 8, and 5. The resulting total is 7 points, as it's missing the 2 points of Sequence 6 and 1 point of Sequence 7. Then you apply the discount of 2 Benefits in Visionary to make it cost only 5 points.You pick Standard for Door's Sequence 9 to 7, but decide to apply Incomplete Formula to Sequence 7. The sum of the first two Sequences is 2 points, and then you cut down the Sequence 7's formula in half to get its cost to 1 point. The resulting total is 3 points. Then you apply the discount of 2 Benefits in Door to make it cost only 1 point.>>97696103The future advancement doesn't have events, as the intro to Personal History states on the right.
>>97696111>The future advancement doesn't have events, as the intro to Personal History states on the right.Ok, missed, then yes, the limit is 35, even worse.
Rolled 92, 7, 23 = 122 (3d100)>>97690641Well, I may only make a build in a month or two once I have the time, but I will roll for cards now to make it more fun.
>>97696111Does Getting affluence free increase the cost of higher levels of it?
>>97696203Intro to Fate tells you on the right that it does not.
>>97696219Huge, can someone update their build next thread so I don't need to out myself as illiterate when I remake mine?
>>97696232I probably will make completely distinct updates to my build, from correcting some mistakes to making the alteration discussed in this thread.
>>97694731>Chill for a while and then converge everything in existence into 'Myself' after a trillion years passes, I guess. Maybe bang 'My' daughters again too.So that's why that page says "You are not 'Him'"I thought Tankista was just memeing, but it looks like some people needed the warning
>look in thread>nobody took a companion I'm eyeingIt's all coming together
>>97696353Don't worry Emilbro, your husbando is safe for you to claim
>>97696111If Partner are incarnated as grade 9 at the start of modern times do they keep eventual artifacts or other things they would have had?
>>97696219Should uniqueness be compatible to boon pillager?
>>97695080I'm considering it but I haven't read the books
>anons falling for the savant bait just like rosellepottery
>>97696400>he doesn't know how to use the STRONGEST pathwaySad!
>>97696400We're not being cockblocked by the fraud of steam and fraudery
>>97695850I mean yeah fair, although some people probably still are going to want the crown and maybe wish to have as an option political acumen and whatnot so ehAlso i guess some people might wish to get a princess who will be good with politics and talking and whatnot and use them and their own subordinates and whatnot to turn kingdom management into spreadsheet simulator, but eh personally id rather be a weird doll maker, no i dont plan to put a doll on the throne, unless i have to to get just five minutes of peace, although maybe itd work out if i gave the princess an immortal doll body but meh
>>97696386Uniqueness should be compatible with whatever Sequence 1 you end up having at the time.>>97696380Yes.
>>97696438mew
>>97696438Thank you. Regarding the things referring to benefits of your pathway how do they work if you have two pathway or boon pillager? How do they decide which benefits work? And do sequences skip work for excess imbuement?
>>97693016Random suggestion but given more than probably the way this is going to work is you pick your candidate from the selection of women in the royal family or maybe have some royal blood, can it maybe be an option to play kingmaker for the prior queen or smth thereby giving us a milf option, although maybe going with just an older princess or the dead king's or the queens sister or smth could also lead to that milf option, hmmmI'd also like to suggest being able to just frick off and do what you want after you put her on the throne not as a mandatory thing but as an option, different people are going to want different things, some will want to be the queens consort, some will want to be the shadow government, some will just want the cool power and authority, some will want to just be a researcher or craftsman and just helped the princess in order to get five minutes of peace or maybe to get funding for their craft/hobbies like me whod probably just go and be a doll/golem/scroll crafter or smth if possible
>>97696459>you have two pathwayYou can't have that, one of them got to be Excess Imbuement or a boon, so it doesn't matter. Only the Benefits towards your "main" advancement matter.>Boon PillagerSince there are no options to buy anything on non-Standard Pathway pages, you can't get any benefits for them anyway.This also means you can only get Convergence Events and satisfy Talent requirements through "+All" Benefits.I am considering adding Outer Deity Benefits since I might expand their pages with content - there are unused assets for it in the source files already.Nascent Outer Deity obviously can not get Benefits even then, but I made an icon for it too, for fun. But maybe I could come up with some characters and items you could have in that scenario, now that I think about it...
>>97696486Thanks,, and regarding >And do sequences skip work for excess imbuement?
>>97696503What work?If you are talking about digestion, then it's solved the same way as the main one is.If you had chosen the age advancing options in Personal History, you can generally assume that those Sequences are digested.
>>97696507Could an ancient god inheritor get benefits to outer?
>>97696400Only reason savant is so weak in LoTM is because they're barely past the medieval ages and have zero (0) oil/petroleum. In Modern Day, Savant would probably be one of the strongest pathways.
>>97696530Technically the rules allow it, but it wouldn't really make sense. Do so at your own discretion.
>>97696531>hey're barely past the medieval ages and have zero (0) oil/petroleumAny random Alchemist(or an Artisan with the right beyonder characteristic) could solve this btwThe real reason the pathway is weak is that Stiano is using his Paragon authority to make sure civilization can't advance beyond a certain point.
>>97696543So if any anon gets the paragon 0 spot then they can make all of the pathways irrelevant by pushing society to the peak of tech?
>>97696554Yes.
>>97696554No, it would make the pathways of evil gods more relevant because they will be able to spread their corruption and suffering more easily using modern technology.
>>97696554"All the pathways" is a stretch since a lot of them will still benefit from a higher tech civilization, and if they're not careful, evil gods and outer deities can use it to spread their corruption further and more easily, like that anon said.
>>97696565Could you not just make a universal anti corruption censorship device?Or just limit informational tech to certain groups while allowing guns and industry to benefit everyone?
>>97696577>Could you not just make a universal anti corruption censorship device?>Or just limit informational tech to certain groups while allowing guns and industry to benefit everyone?Yes to both, although how effective that would be against certain evil gods and outer deities is hard to tell.
>>97696554No, tech cannot surpass sequence 1 according to author. Any sequence 0 can dumpster whole intergalactic civilizations much less a single planet. GOO had one of their slave alien empires send a literal space ship and it didn't do jack shit against Amon+Bethel who were just sequence 1s. Basically all aliens outside Earth have been enslaved by the GOO even those with much higher tech levels. Worst part is higher tech benefits the GOO more than it benefits Paragon.
>>97696592>Any sequence 0 can dumpster whole intergalactic civilizations much less a single planet.>he doesn't knowTake a look at a Justiciar's Balancing ability that they gain at Sequence 2.
>>97696592But with enough tech you could have the equivalent of many s1 fightersAnd you could centralize almost everythingAnd you could control things in a way very different to todayHaving a system in place to industrialise magic would allow one to cast stronger spells
>>97696592>techpure technology cannot surpass sequence 1If only a paragon pathway beyonder possessed the capability to mix mysticism and technology, perhaps as early as sequence 6
>Whoever becomes Paragon in Modern Day basically just auto winsSo either you befriend savant anons or you kill them asap? Good to know.
>>97696636You can't kill the powers themselvesYou just need to make sure they end up in the right hands
>>97696636>So either you befriend savant anons or you kill them asap?Yep. That's how it works in setting too, even with all the limitations placed on Savants
>>97696636I very much doubt that it would be easy for a paragon to actually create angel tier tech
>>97696072Thank you for the clarification. That is ''exactly'' how I thought it worked at first.But then I just tried picturing how it would look if a 10 yo child did all the things listed. Especially the options that usually advance age. Picrel.Personally I might even suggest barring options in Personal History that would usually increase your age to Mothers Little Reincarnator Origins.Even if it would cripple my own build. It would limit the amount of Sequences a 10 yo would be able to attain without taking on large amounts of Madness'.But I'm unfamiliar with the source material so idk, maybe it's normal for child prodigies to be walking around like this.

>>97696666>Future:The LoversI think you meant the Magician
>>97696682You're right, it's a relic of the previous idea I had, of making an error build, wich I constantly forgot about.
>>97696537If I take family matters and essence imbuement to sequence 3 do I keep the madness and power of sequence 3 and 4?
>>97696692also, no image?
>>97696708I always obsessively post in unknown mode here, so I can't post images.That said I'm not even sure about which image I would use.

>>97696715Oh, I did my best to avoid choose overlapping companions, didn't think about the artifacts.I could edit my build another time to remove it, even if this screws with my plan.
