Long-term goals are to entrench technomancy in Toronto (and the world at large I guess) by gradually integrating it into the local mundane infrastructure and zeitgeist and eventually turn the city into a seat of power for technomancers(most especially me of course), giving a massive home field advantage for us. (Namesake animal is ravens btw, they're cool)Main job would basically be an occult information broker and artificer. Identifying Others, researching & making relics and magic items, investigating & selling intelligence, and turning Toronto into a technomantic paradise (dystopia). Eventual plan is to promote mundane technological & infrastructure developments that just so happen to benefit technomancers in ways that doesn't piss off Karma. Then we'll have sensors up the wazoo, smart infrastructure, internets of things, automated surveillance, etc. Innos will see it as modernization (aka Flock/Palantir tyranny) while other practitioners see the city become increasingly machine-readable for my craft. Once I'm sufficiently established I'm planning on buying the building with the God in the Machine and turn that into my homebase, maybe demesne, and maybe make up some company like Theosis Computing Solutions.
>>98733774There is little I hate more than imageless CYOAs
>>98734357The other anon is right, this cyoa has so many synergies and hidden options its legitimately tiring to write about them. Might make a bigger writeup later, this one barely touches on the synergies or big plans.>>98729067TechGOD craftKING asymmetric city-sage of course>>98731751Nope. Why would it be?
>>98733774I dislike this setting
I am so invested in cyoag's sweet little lies that I remember that one anon promising a nobleman cyoa all the way back in January...
>>98734513February soon bro
Two more weeks... Two more figurines... Two more years...
And don't forget to TRUST. THE. PLAN.
There is no plan. There is no hope, no trust, no joy left. We are cursed, wretched beings.
>>98734354>>98734357Cringe Techno-chad
>>98734542This had the megumi to be one of the greatest cyoas of all time. Now its just our greatest disappointment. I guess you should never trust someone who calls themselves a "chad".
>>98734552>"I HAVE OC!">"Have some goddamn faith Anon!">"One. Last. WIP!"Are Authors just Dutch from Red Redemption?
>>98734616Who's the Megumi author of cyoag?

>>98734624Kek, they absolutely are
>>98734663Don't forget the demigod colonization wip. And I think there are two other wips he talked about that I don't remember the details of.
>>98734629EA. A grand total of ONE single successful OC under his name. His fame is definitely overblown.

>>98734697Those who burn twice as bright last half as long...
>>98734697He's a potential man author because he's treated like he's the second coming of SDA but doesn't have the OC catalogue to back it up.
tok please post the cyoa to end all cyoas now. I can't stand the soullessness of cyoag any longer
I had a WIP mostly vaguely inspired by Fate and ever so slightly by Isekai Bounty Hunter, so you're sent by god to fix a bunch of warped parallel worlds a la Lostbelts from FGO. The worlds are warped in a sense that they do have a "storyline" but it's broken, self-referential and archetypes present in them are also corrupted, i.e. a noble king archetype is instead a cold, detached tyrant, or a story about secret magic society is warped into world war of supernatural, etc. It's more about stories, archetypes and legends being "retold" wrongly, like someone who doesn't understand them would.I actually planned out the power picking section, two of five worlds... And it just kind of stopped there. Like a switch turned off; no inspiration, no idea what to do next, no idea why I even thought this silly thing was interesting or worth fleshing out.It's so bizzare to look at something you've created (at least partly) and just feel nothing but confusion. No "I'll do it later" or "Okay, this is kinda cringe, but..." or even "I want to rewrite what I have". Just nothing. It's sad.
>>98734657Remember the Luminary WIP spam, the drawbacks meltdown or the artifact-abuser shitshow? I remember. I bet huspedo was stroking his tiny clit while laughing uproariously at the chaos he's created knowing full well that the thing dozens of anons are invested in is never coming out.
Cyoas where good things happen?.. Cyoas where everything is going to be okay?
>>98734722Ultimate God? basically all the major threats got dealt with before you show up.
>>98734216;___;

>>98734714Doesn't sound silly to me
>>98734724I don't like ultimate goyIt's uncomfy
>>98734714You lost interest because you realised cyoag was a wasteland unfit to build anything new in. Maybe if it were 10 years ago when we had more than Tok/Wodan and leNPCman it would have been different.
>>98734727He purposely made drawbacks as contrived and annoying as possible to ragebait anons. It was pretty funny honestly.
>>98734729>Potential to rival italicsFunny how this used to be "has the potential to rival SDA" and then he actually did rival SDA. Italics barely even a stepping stone for the indomitable Tokhaar.
>>98734714You burnt out, it happens. The last part is very relatable. I still cringe when I look back at my early cyoa "builds" which were pretty disjointed shopping lists.
Tok fucking sucks lmao.
SOFTIEWHERE R UUU
>>98734739My cyoagger, cyoag is a wasteland because no one wants to make OC, nothing else.
>>98734714post the wip
>>98734759And why do you think no one wants to make oc? because there's no one worth making oc for.When the thread is visibly active and alive it makes you want to be a part of something, when it's dead you want nothing to do with it.
>>98734760Don't say these words
Gil ;-;
Why did some anons ever pretend we hate wipkino?
>>98734794We hate WIPposting. Normally. But things aren't normal now, the drought is too bad.
>>98734802Wrong. We still hate WIPslop. Hang all WIPposters. Behead all WIPposters. And any anon spotted asking for wip to be posted is to be executed as well.
>>98734822Want me to post my wips before you decide to execute me?
>>98734831Yes
; l worus.
>>98734728Shut up.
https://imgchest.com/p/ej7m32dna4dAh, Nasuverse, the setting arguably more fucked up than even wh40k.
>>98734946It's not fucked up, it's silly. It's like every schoolyard/chuuni roleplay mashed together. Special death eyes, summoning legends to fight with bullshit abilities and everyone takes it all so seriously while also everything basically boils down to "the only rule is the rule of cool". It's endearing in the best way.

>>98735076It is a rather ancient cyoa.
>>98735076>wodan time travelled to post his frankenstein slop in 2017
>>98735089Like hell it is. I made it yesterday.
>>98735096What was the earliest date Tok was active?
It breaks my heart to say, guys, but I think you actually, legitimately lost it.
I will go beyond mere wip posting and start talking about making an updated version of a cyoa that I haven't even made yet. And then I'll talk about how cool it is and make a FAQ for it.
I don't make cyoas I only make wips and pretend I'll some day finish them but I never do just to watch cyoag squirm
I often ask /cyoag/gers what they want to see in a cyoa (I'm not actually making a cyoa)
cyoas with this feel?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yMozrDEqbg
I will add Rat Empathy and Cat Empathy as choices into my superpower CYOA. They are mutually exclusive. Cats are smarter but aren't immediately willing to risk their lives for you, rats are dumber but will risk their lives for you.There also will be Roach Empathy but it just gives you a roach monstergirl waifu and nothing else.
>>98735145Is she like all the roaches in the world united into a single being? Otherwise i don't know why it wouldn't let you interact with other roaches
>>98735150No, she's just really hot and generally useful. But the actual roaches are too stupid to be affected by Empathy abilities.
tok... post the oc...
>>98735165Why are the roaches dumb?
>>98735195Such is their lot in life. Same reason why anonworms are useless.
>>98735169But nobody wants hentai heroine.
>>98735165>Really hotIs the roach a loli?
>>98734496I really like this settingWhat bothers you about it, anon?>inb4 no immortalityBut there is tho!
>>98734714I’d love to see it finished anon but I understand if your motivation is gone for good.
>>98735297It kinda rubs me the wrong way
>>98735417The karma system mainly probably
>>98734794Aro and hus abused it.
GIVE ME OC OR GIVE ME WIPS
>>98735496
>>98735287No.
>>98735540bro what are you trying to hide with that tiny img, you've barely even made anything
>>98735540looks like a BTGanon cyoa. I hate BTGanon
>if casters aren't required to adhere to the rules of reality, neither should martials, so let me Raiden the shit out of the boss, reee, REEEEEThat solution works fine if you're coming from an anime/weaboo/video game background but a lot of people who play martials don't want to play someone who breaks reality in that way. They want to play Conan or Aragorn or Lancelot. They want to be strong and tough and skilled with a sword, and that's it. No special skills or advantages (being masterful alone is a kind of magic - “he’s a wizard with a sword”). Maybe you can get away with letting them kick down a solid oak door or deflect an arrow with their sword but anything beyond that clashes with the archetype they want to play.I have found that you can get by using magic items. In my experience at least some of this type of player are determined to have their character stay purely mundane but don't mind if he picks up the ability to fly from a magic cloak or a blessing he's gifted by a nymph or whatever. Or maybe you become a wizard over time as you learn more and collect more.
>>98735559WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOO
>>98735558I like BTG's visual style and of the ones with palatable subject matter Animus is definitely a GOAT. But I was really trying to imitate more Cindergateanon (does he have a name?). At first I even used his font (Bahnschrift) but it has a huge problem, the commas and full stops are almost identical at small text size.
>>98735586>Cindergateanonno idea who that is
>>98735581She's just boiling some pasta. Please understando.
>>98733774God theres so many hidden options and hidden tabs in this CYOA its insane. Played two builds so far, standard difficulty one was able to become Lord and the very hard difficulty one unlocked the Horrors, Diabolism, Abyss, etc hidden tabs from low karma.
>>98735597Matterjeeta is washed... Literally just shaking and babbling incoherently.
>>98735610>Matterjeeta is washedA jeet? washing?Unless it's in a filthy fecal river, highly doubtful
How anyone can stand to even be near jeets is beyond me.
>>98735359>I’d love to see it finishedLiar
>>98735551Darn
Talk about spirit conscript again.
https://imgchest.com/p/na7konjjwy8?
>>98735666Why would I lie? Do you think he’s the only person who likes Fate and Isekai Bounty Hunter (micha’s best work)? I’d definitely build anon’s oc
>>98735713Anons are really bored it seems.
>>98735710Fun Fact: Only Flow builds get a pass on having Overpowered potential due to how expensive and codependent their techniques on synergy.
>>98735754If you aren't going overpowered you're just playing the cyoa wrong.
>>98735754I went overpowered and limitless meridians but kept alchemy at G0 kek.

Alternatively I can just kill them with Transmigration or my Companions and bind them that way. Since I have Limitless Meridians and Signature Technique I can use their techniques much more effectively, and I have access to a bunch of learnable techniques through my Sect, the Institute and my Companions.
>>98735754i disagree because that synergy produces bigger results, flow techniques have way more synergies than other affinity techniques do which means that stacking mutliple of them is way stronger, and on top of that one of the main tells that a technique is especially strong is if it has conditional extra expenditures of aura on top of activation which is very common with flow techniques, so feeling like you're taxed by not having encompassing world avatar and maybe omnipotent syncthronicity of elements is stupid in the same way if you'd think the same thing about the other elements and their respective legend status and similar support techniquesincidentally, i was just making an overpowered flow build even though i don't gravitate towards the affinity normally, i decided on flame and shadow for aesthetic reasons and then just dumped the normal suspects on top (the three master statuses, the legend status, and omnipotent synchronicity), besides that i also went with resolute center and oscillating motion so that there's even more benefit from reified champion since your physical abilities enhance your conductions through itit's extremely strong even though my conduction chocies were aesthetic rather than minxmaxed, it's a lot more difficult to make something comparatively strong in the direct combat specialty with the other affinities, and that even includes core
>>98735783Yeah let’s go with that pal. Come back when you read some of the alterations and skills.
>>98735787>not overpowered>had to take limitless mershittians to not be an instant jobberWhy even bother.
>>98735801you may not like it, but limitless meridians is what peak performance looks likeunironically
>>98735710Any ideas for a flow immortality technique?
>>98735801Honestly I only took LM because it makes the Eye's techniques better
>>98735597You should stay on /v/. You seem to be doing well there.>>748500265
>>98735819i always interpreted that as barely being the case, it's not talking about raw affinities, it's talking about all the work it takes to carve the techniques themselves into your aura system
>>98735831The techniques rely on your aura system, so just like if you were doing it yourself having a higher affinity should logically make your techniques better.
>>98735825Meant for >>98735559But I got dickstacted while making this post.
>>98735842yes, but barely, the main thing sorcerer's servant eye is talking about in that context is the training of specific techniques, not having an appropriate aura systemso even if you have flow g3 and have a slave with rending scission conduction, forcing them to use it with your aura system is still going to be very weak because you've never trained up that technique, though it'll still be somewhat stronger than if you only had less than flow g3
>>98735819They have no affinity and affinity doesn't affect your techniques anyways.
>>98735559>It’s cute and funnymatterloli...
>>98735842oh, and in some cases weakness doesn't really matter, like if you have a slave with void paper sigil you basically don't need to learn it, it doesn't matter if the sigil takes longer to activate or something>affinity doesn't affect your techniques anyways.it does though, using a g1 technique with g3 affinity makes it stronger than its stated description
>>98735870>>98735862
>>98735870>makes it stronger than its stated descriptionIt doesn't.
>>98735853Why would it be barely? That defeats the whole point of affinities. Like I'm not saying that LM actually deals with the whole 'you've never actually trained this technique before', those are seperate issues, but it should logically make a noticeable difference in the performance of those techniques.
>>98735877bro, do you just do this every thread, go around and make patently false claims and hope nobody bothers to actually tell you where the text says you're wrong so you can confuse people?yes they do, all of the affinity paragraphs say it, for example when core g3 or flow g3 tell you your core techniques are super powerful it's not talking about specifically only g3 techniques, it's talking about all of themfuck off retard>>98735897you're conflating affinity and technique learningaffinities allow you to train a technique, you still need to train the technique before you can use it thoughthat's how techniques are trained, they aren't just "i know how this is done so now i can do it", they're basically structures carved into your aura system that work on their own, if you didn't do that training then your aura system is untrained for a given technique whether you know exactly how it works or notthis does mean that such a slave would make it way more convenient to train the technique, but the work of carving it into your meridians would still need to be done before you overcome the weakness mentioned in sorcerer's servant eyethis is also why for example technique training time is bounded by aura availability and why the aura burst speeds up training, people can carve a lot more technique structures into their meridians when they have a ton of aura available
>>98735913We have a couple of incorrigibly bad actors here.
>>98735913>anon is actually dying on this affinity hillLol, lmao. Retard. Neither of those tell you your techniques get stronger. The only things that get better are your skills which in turn scale some techniques. You're thinking of core which gets better from athletics which athletics gets better from affinity.
>>98735947no, it very literally says all your techniques get stronger in the affinity descriptions specifically, this has nothing to do with core and athletics, core at g3 alone is stronger than core at g2 alone, regardless of athleticsthen there's also a paragraph under the release technique intro that says the same thing, something about leaps and bounds strongeryou're comprehensively wrong
>>98735947And alchemy with ceremony don't forget ceremony.
OC from reddit"Jedi Fugitive" https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqllo5o42
>>98735969it's a separate bonus, alchemy g3 is already stronger than alchemy g2, whether you have ceremony or notceremony is a kind of poor example anyway since it doesn't touch on like two thirds of what alchemy does, and you'd for example want scholar or tinkering for techniques like transmutation, while athletics covers everything core does
>>98733774Wait is this just a fucking pact/pale cyoa?
>>98735807Objectively true but also part of the reason why SC is boring to actually make a build for. Having options that are clearly far superior than others and results in samey builds is a rookie mistake I would expect from a new author, not PCA.
>>98735963It never says your techniques get stronger in affinity. It also doesn't say your affinities make your techniques stronger in the release technique intro.
>>98735984the problem is that everyone else is a narrower specialist while limitelss meridians is a specialist of everything, those can't coexist
>>98735980Fwiw I agree with you mostly on affinities but I wanted to bait the ceremony hater from last thread.
>>98735787Buildspammer Sovereign...
>>98735993Limitless meridians are the jack of all trades master of none. They spread themselves to thin.
>>98735997Sovereign only builds overpowered so that can’t be him
>>98736002Completely untrue.
>>98735997I would never make a non overpowered build and i'm very happy with my current build.
>>98735992>It never says your techniques get stronger in affinity. yes it doescombine these four quotes:core g3:>Your Core Techniques release with the power of a rampaging beast, mastered to their utmost potential.phase g3:>When you use Phase Techniques, you use them as a practiced master with nearly unapproachable acumen.flow g3:>When you use Flow techniques, you maximize their power and strategic utility to its greatest imaginable extent with few equals in Youdu.alchemy g3:>Your command of sorcery puts you among the great Sages of old, if not in title then in prowess.with the following quote about techniques:>A skilled user can optimize the strength and efficiency of their Techniques by leaps and bounds beyond their stated limits.>>98736002no, limitless meridians is the master of all, that's the problemsure you can't start with a ton of investment in everything, but this is a cyoa where you can just train techniques in the futurehell the aura burst is right there as an option if you want to train +60 points of techniques super fast
>>98736010None of that says your lower techniques get stronger. The quote about techniques says you can optimize them if you're good at techniques, not that your affinities make them better. Try again.
>>98735913I'm not saying that having a high affinity will train me in whatever technique I happen to be using, because that's not what affinity does. I am saying that having a higher natural talent for the technique will make it better than if I had a lower one.
>>98736020nope, the affinities directly talk about your skill, and that skill is referenced in the technique postcheck mate>>98736022this is correct, but i'm saying while it does make you a bit better, it's not comparable to actually knowing the technique, you are still severely weakenedi hope you however do realize how very broken it is to have a perfect rainer for a technique they already know, it's basically stronger than prodigy to just have them train the technique for you, and it also skips the awkward question of whether you can even find information about how a technique works so you can start training it, you just get that by default by enslaving a user of the technique
>>98736010Softies build in an aura burst is kind of insane when you think about it. Doesn't he regenerate aura naturally in a few seconds with how massive his pool is with sacred fountain? By that logic wouldn't he be able to train techniques super fast normally and the aura burst would make his entire pool regeneration basically instant?
>>98736030meant for >>98735913
>>98736030yes, it's very strong to take high aura regen, especially if he also has prodigy, but he's too dumb to notice and seems to be focusing on all sorts of other things where the aura regen is way less of a benefit, and even if he wasn't too dumb to notice it probably still wouldn't occur to him to hoard technique knowledge before the burst so he can just train for 3.5 days during it without wasting precious time
>>98736030we can't forget that there are other ways of getting the same or even greater benefits though, universal sovereign, if you use it right, could give you thousands of times more regen than anytihng you can get as a baseline, and there are other simpler ways of making aura regen networks, like even yokai default to having an aura drain technique for free and draining a bunch of people every day could already accelerate you a lot, but there are other ways like some sigils too
>>98736039NTA, but personally I just use mind split+aura drain and have a lot of aura slaves, pretty much has the same effect and it's essentially free for my build as I was going to do a yokai with mind split anyways, mind split on its own is an op training multiplier
>>98736028>this is correct, but i'm saying while it does make you a bit better, it's not comparable to actually knowing the technique, you are still severely weakenedAgain, I'm not saying LM will make my techniques equal to where they would be if I knew them myself, I'm saying it'll make them notable better than they would be if I didn't have it.Also to help deal with this I have Signature Technique (which per WOG does make the techniques my bound souls use stronger) and Prodigy.>i hope you however do realize how very broken it is to have a perfect rainer for a technique they already know, it's basically stronger than prodigy to just have them train the technique for you, and it also skips the awkward question of whether you can even find information about how a technique works so you can start training it, you just get that by default by enslaving a user of the techniqueYeah, that is also another thing I plan on making extensive use of.
>>98736070i agree that mind split is very strong, but you need to be careful about what it means to have a distributed aura system like thatfor example, in my mind slit build, i considered having a bunch of youdu sleepers that only regen aura while spending that aura to do shit on earth, this should mean that most of my aura regen is working at youdu speed but it's not actually confirmed anywherethis does bring to mind the fact that it may not even make your technique training faster to be mind split, if training a technique means you're carving it into your aura structure, there's no certainty that having more bodies to do that with is beneficial, it could be that just a single one is already making full use of the potential>Again, I'm not saying LM will make my techniques equal to where they would be if I knew them myself, I'm saying it'll make them notable better than they would be if I didn't have it.anon i've already agreed with this three times by now, i just think that while it would obviously help, it still wouldn't be getting rid of the basic weakness problem
>>98736081>>98736078
>>98736030Yea that was a decently big portion of what I said when I originally posted the build. I'm fully self sufficient for aura and have access to spirits who are the proprietors of all kinds of secret techniques and hoarded knowledge, and I took secrets special advantage for my sect to show this. I don't really need to learn many more techniques, and mostly focus on spirit ones. I wanted to make new techniques, like coming up with a technique to do a kodoku jar and merge spirits, making a technique to create spirits like soul coagulation, making a technique to channel spirits through you like a temporary fusion without permanently turning you into one, and coming up with a better form of alchemy immortality than universal sovereign. I really like eye techniques, so making a spirit tuned eye power like Exorcists Pure Eye or something to affect spirits and maybe see across dimensions would be cool.
>>98736081>anon i've already agreed with this three times by now, i just think that while it would obviously help, it still wouldn't be getting rid of the basic weakness problemWhen did I say that it would?
>I don't really need to learn many more techniquessee what i meant? too dumb to notice his strengths, thinks about random bullshit that matters way less instead
>>98736091>i always interpreted that as barely being the case...>yes, but barely...>this is correct, but i'm saying while it does make you a bit better...
>>98736101Okay, and when did I say LM would completely restore the technique's strength?
>>98736104the point we were looping around was if it helps you remove the weakness, starting from>Why would it be barely? That defeats the whole point of affinities. i kept saying very little, you kept not adding that modifier, so we just went in a circle like thatand apparently still are
>>98736081Well mind splitting is a massive buff simply because it resolves a lot of logistical problems like a regular person wouldn't be able to train 24/7 because they would have other obligations, sleep, etc. but if you have multiple bodies there is nothing stopping at least one of your bodies doing the training at all moments in time.
>>98736094Least illiterate shitposter. The big kids are talking right now.
>>98736119sure, though you could default to the same as an undead which can just meditate in a coffin for 200 years it's an extremely strong technique to the point i refuse to use it after one build >>98736123i like that you're calling yourself a child, very self-aware of you, maybe you're not quite as dumb as i thought
>>98736126This anon is definitely the same retard as >>98736020
>>98736116Okay, so the question is just 'how big is the difference between G0 untrained guy and G3 untrained guy'. Well going by the descriptions I think it should be pretty big.
>>98736137that guy is literally the dude i argued with the most in this thread lmao, try again>>98736138yeah, like going from 0.1% nominal power to 2% nominal power is a 200% increase, and 200% is huge
>>98736149>>98736138i meant 2000% obviously, but the point still stands
>>98736138Personally I would say that the most powerful aspect of having all G3 affinities is popping out those uber powerful kids, its going to fuck over the entire power balance of youdu in a few generations.
>>98736169i don't think it's guaranteed to give all your kids g3, they'll probably be more normal top-tier scions, similar to the other factions and great if you're starting your own new sectalso the description of limitless meridians says it's almost unheard of or something like that, not literally unprecedented, so there's a bit of that in the mix too
>>98736149Nice try anon but that was me not you.
>>98736172Well it explains that bloodlines determining affinity are hereditary and that genetically speaking your a golden opportunity for the dynasties of youdu if they secure your geners. Which implies that Limitless miridians might be heritable. So even if every child is going to be born with all the G3 affinities its probably still going to make those children extremely potent compared to most people in youdu. The power system in spirit conscript seems highly eugenics based
>>98736186(correction)*so even if not every child going to be born with
>>98736186>Which implies that Limitless miridians might be heritable.it can also just meant that really good aura systems are heritable, it would still be a gold mine at that point, look at the retarded shit the ninokata are doing over one phase g3 kid and some misandry>its probably still going to make those children extremely potent compared to most people in youdu.certainly
People should post more spirit conscript builds.
>>98736149More like 10% power to 40%
>>98736198I kinda wonder if G3 is a hard limit or only a soft cap and potentially there can exist G4 or higher? The big spirits seem to be capable of pulling bullshit on some other level
How can I justify gods crossing into different worlds that shouldn't really have gods so you can make pacts with them dragonfall style?
>>98736211oh, that's easy, divine colonialism the gods want more lands to spread their belief and gain more worshipers, the places that shouldn't have gods are just locations that their grubby hands haven't reached yet or that were capable of defending themselves against their spread.
>>98736205nah, that's way too generous for just affinity to move it that far on its own, at that point you'd have a completely different setting where g3s just use techniques based on vibes at 40% power so why ever learn any technique for real, very obviously going against the intent
>dragonfall styleGross, I think someone just farted
>>98736221That doesn't make sense. You'd still have to actually know how to do the technique, G3 isn't exactly common, and 40% isn't exactly good. I mean the borrowed techniques are still meant to be usable, even if weak.
This reminds me of my chimera build. What do you think is better to start with for making super-chimeras, vessel transfer or extinction relapse. Im leaning Extinction relapse because it gives supernatural DNA and traits while vessel transfer doesn't seem to actually let you edit pre-existing bodies.
>>98736239personally, assuming we start with your assumption of 10%, i think the sequence would go something like 10% to 15%, not randomly 40%, there's no way that much of a contribution would happen from affinity alonealso even at 1% they'd still be usable, maybe the combat ones couldn't compete but a lot of utility techniques wouldn't actually be much worse even with that kind of power malusof course this is just my interpretation, you can do whatever you like in your own fantasy, including making your particular choices the best one by fiat
>>98736241for useful ones that do waht you want? mind split + efflorescence of monstrosity + vessel transfer + perfect perspective or hypnotist's spiral eye, this lets you turn someone you dislike into a tardbeasts that behaves exactly the way you wantfor out of control chimeras that just fuck shit up, chimera nucleus + unbinding of the abyss lords
>>98735982yep
>>98736246NTA but what is with these percentages anyways? Doesn't G3 just make you learn the techniques faster? Kinda seems strange to assume that you can use technique without training.
>>98733774needing to know the full production chain to use digital magic is retarded since it's the software that is doing the magic not the hardware, you should need to know the history of programming and "information chain" behind the program not some irrelevant bs like which mines they got the materials for the computer from
>>98736246There's no way in actual hell the techniques were meant to be 100 times weaker, come on now. Even utility techniques would be basically nonexistant with this. Given the differences implied by the description 10-40% is much more reasonable (though I could probably be talked down to 30%).
>>98736249Thats not at all what I asked and just downright terrible suggestions.
>>98736241definitely vessel transfer as it can give your chimeras some op alterations while extinction relapse might be counter productive what if one of the chimeras escapes and makes one of the components you used no longer extinct? then you can't summon it.
>>98736267you can use sorcerer's servant eye to enslave someone who knows a technique you don't and have them use your own aura system to cast it, and if it's a technique you don't know it's severely weakened from normal, anon and i are discussing our different interpretations of what that meanswe have previously in this thread established that higher affinity does equal being better and stronger at using the same technique, like if you compare a g1 technique used by a g1 aura user and the same g1 technique used by a g3 aura user, the second one will be a lot stronger, this isn't really a matter of interpretation, you just need to read the cyoa properly
>>98735064>you get to choose the setting
>>98736278>>98736241Vessel transfer theoretically allows you to grant alterations, but this is a bad idea for something expendable like a chimera, since even for Kofuko it had "permanent costs".
>>98736269I mean you're arguing with Spirits who are actually retarded. It makes sense that its incredibly convoluted because how would you convince them about ownership of software and digital products? That shit is still debated by corporations and courts. Remember, the Spirits are the ones who legitimize your magic, so it's their ruling on how its supposed to be that makes it possible in the first place. Works off what they know in a way they can track it, tracing physical production and linking it to individuals in the similar vein of how Implements can be traced back to their creators, with most of the same stipulations of having such a connection still in play.
>>98736286Isn't the permenent cost from the speeduped training not the alterations?
>>98736282That's a prerequisite for a cyoa being goodAny cyoa with its own setting is always extremely small and undeveloped, just look at what a nothingburger of a setting spirit conscript has, it's so teeny tiny and unfinished, there's no way to make any sort of decent fantasy with it
>>98736211>God>has limitationsthen it's not a God just a powerful magician
>>98736291Everything about your chargen is part of it. You could cherry pick that alterations aren't, even though they're the most useful part of the process, but that seems self-indulgent to me.
>>98736211I mean they're gods, they can do what they want no?
>>98736289I am going to take 3 levels in Karmic Law and make a legal argument that is so good they'll have no choice but to use the software's production chain instead of the hardware's production chain no matter how retarded they are
>>98736301>>98736295depends on the settinginb4 autists start arguing words have objective meaning separate from how they're used
>>98736310sorry but if your God isn't all-powerful and all-knowing then it's not a real God just a bargain bin spirit
>>98736312ha! you fell for the trap! i deviously hid an inb4 from you behind spoiler tags, and you fell for it! it's over for you, kiddo
>>98736278They wouldn't get away and breed without consent, and chimeras can't de-extinct something since anything bred is just another chimera.>>98736286My chimeras are not expendable, but doesn't vessel transfers description seem to not say anything about editing existing vessels like say an infant chimera? I don't know if you could grant alterations to them like that which is my concern. Theoretically you could pay beast slayers or get samples of chimeras with dna you want but that sdems unreliable.>since even for Kofuko it had "permanent costsThat seems to be kofuko specific and is never elaborated on, unrelated to vessel transfer.
>>98736305I mean you can try, but part of getting a magic working is routine, so convincing the spirits as an individual is not even half the battle, even being acknowledged by the courts themselves. You'd probably have to try convincing members of it to change their practice, and might be better off attempting to make your own. It's pretty much set in stone far as I can see as everything is created from a foundation set much earlier, but then again even though Technomancy is about 30 years old, something like Reality Shifting is less than 3 years, so who knows. Theoretically, you only need a few hundred people to try and achieve it as that's all it took for Cultivation to become a thing.
>>98736321>unrelated to vessel transfer.It's explicitly related to vessel transfer, since that's what Kofuko does to you at the start of the CYOA.
>>98736332It may be tangentially related but it has nothing to do woth the vessel transfer technique we get.its kofuko specific in some way.
>>98736295>>98736312Philosemitic histrionics
>>98736279huh... well personally I would just say that you cast the technique at around 40% of its strength for your affinity level. No clue what would be the power boost gained from a G1 or G3 core, but just saying that you cast it at 40% if what you could if you had learned it sounds like an adequate enough description. I think 40% if not more it needs a decent enough number otherwise the technique gets too weak as it still cost you devotion to have these trapped souls. Hitting something at 40% is already terribly inefficient like you would need to spend 2,5 the times of aura to deal the same amount of damage.
>>98736344You randomly claim, without anything particularly supporting your opinion from the text. We know that your chargen was performed via vessel transfer and had permanent costs, this isn't in question. If you want to cherry pick that some parts didn't have permanent costs, that's your prerogative, but there isn't really anything in the text that goes to that specific level of detail, it's just disfavored as an interpretation because of the aforementioned setup with your chargen.
>>98736368well personally i think you'd start at 0.1% and after only one cast it would already have grown to 0.5% because the early gains of carving it into your meridians are that quick despite the fact that the author said learning a technique takes years of carving
>>98736353I prefer to call it judeo-christian brain rot myself.
>>98736373Its not a random claim, its the exact text of the ability and what he says. For all we know his permanent cost is him giving us the magic items we get, vessel transfer says nothing about permanent costs to you and kofuko only says he lost something for making us once in passing with no elaboration except that he is uniquely suited to do that, its ignorant to instsntly assume has anything to do with vessel transfer we can learn when he says its unique to him.
>>98736390Anon you have information before you and you concluded that you should ignore it. Then after that, you called someone else ignorant. Lmao
>>98736373NTA but if the technique had a really terrible personal cost it would have been written on the technique itself. If it doesn't, it probably doesn't have one otherwise we have to worry about the possibility of Kofuku being an unreliable narrator and all techniques having possible hidden costs he didn't mention in descriptions directly.
>>98736394I accept your concession. You added nothing of value and couldn't refute what I said because its objectively true.
>>98736396>with the potential to benefit and suffer from alterations in the same manner as Kofuko-san’s
>>98736406It's objectively true in the sense that you can do whatever you want in your own fantasy. It's objectively false in the sense that you're ignoring the information provided to you by the supplemental document.
>>98736407Right, which is never elaborated on if the vessel transfer technique involved a personal cost. If it did it would be said in the ability or directly by him. Kofuko even calls his loss unique.
>>98736383oh, you assume that the technique is trainable trough the sorcerers eye, but I personally assume it is stagnant and is always going to remain at the same percentage unless you learn the technique yourself and for that you will need to go trough the whole extensive training process.
>>98736416It is elaborated on. Kofuko says there's permanent cost. If you do the same thing in the same manner as Kofuko san, then that consequently means you'll also pay permanent cost.
>>98736414The information provided supports me because it is not listed upon the technique and what required a cost is never elaborated on. Thank you for your concession.
>>98736424>Kofuko says there's permanent cost.Not to vessel transfer, jist to whatever unique thing he did/does for us. Again, this can just as easily be the fact he has a unique weapon closet we're allowed to take from. It's definitely not related to the vessel transfer technique we get since its not listed in the technique and he never elaborates on it.
>>98736421i don't see why you'd assume that, since there's nothing stopping you from training any tehnique you want and have enough affinity forobviously your aura system producing a technique will train your aura system to produce that technique better in the future, that's what technique training entails in this setting, and like i mentioned earlier, it's also the reason why massive amounts of aura during the aura burst mean that everyone will be learning techniques at massive speed, the bottleneck is the meridian carving which requires aura to repeatedly cycle in your aura system in the shape of the technique
>>98736407well the benefit part is refers to benevolent alterations and the suffer part to malignant ones, there is nothing told about the cost.
>>98736432>Not to vessel transfer, jist to whatever unique thing he did/does for us.You're just making that up or deliberately refusing to read the CYOA. Kofuko did a vessel transfer to the reader. This is explicit. He outright says so. That's how the CYOA starts and where your chargen comes from.
>>98734640Just use your magic to do Right deeds bro. A rank 3 Technomancer is arguably one of the most well equipped people in the city to save Innocents from supernatural stuff. Learning the supply chains of things like cameras and phones first would be best, so you can easily extend your gaze around and use the phones as proxies to contact and manipulate Innocents and the authorities, and then moving up from there.Like in the challenge with the Havour preying on that professor, you could (truthfully) inform library maintenance staff that the carrel desks the professor is vandalizing need inspection by making a maintenance ticket in whatever software they use for scheduling maintenance and putting it at the top of the queue, causing him to get kicked out.Next, use his phone to follow him home, then brick his thermometer to keep the heater on, making his place hot as hell and encouraging him to take a shower and change into lighter clothes.Finally, use some money to buy a gift voucher to a high-end restaurant or something, and send it to his phone or email anonymously (don't forget to make the phone beep obnoxiously so he checks it). Call it an academic gift or whatever, as long as it gets him out his hot, stuffy house and downtown it works.Bricking that guys thermometer might be a minor karmic bad since you used magic to negatively affect an Innocent's life, but the whole of the act is a big karmic good since you preserved Innocence and saved him from a hostile Other. If the original Pact is any indication, incidents like this are happening all the time, so you'll always have chances to wipe karmic debt from knowing supply chains.
>>98736437That's a self-indulgent interpretation that goes against the spirit of the material.
>>98736444If you can't even read the paragraph you're quoting, allow me to get it for you. The quote is from the lore document and is entirely unrelated to vessel transfer, and is left entirely vague and never elaborated on. In fact, it's much more likely he's referring to giving us items, training or other capability boosting things than anything relating to vessel transfer. If it was a permanent cost from transfer, it would be listed on the technique.I accept your concession, you have no idea what you're even arguing about.
>>98736460Wow he even says its unique to him, the anon saying it has anything to do with vessel transfer is retarded.
>>98736460It's not unrelated at all. It's referring to the start of the CYOA and chargen, which is explained in two different places in the main CYOA as being done via Vessel Transfer, once in the technique's own writeup, and once in the very first line of the very first paragraph in the entire CYOA.
>>98736451that is just your interpretation which isn't anymore valid than mine in my eyes its in line with the material.
>>98736480Our interpretations are only technically equal if you ignore all the fluff surrounding the topic and act like a lawyer instead.
>>98736471>It's referring to the start of the CYOA and chargenCompletely up in the air and never elaborated on.>via Vessel TransferWhich does not have the unique permanent costs he is expending, because its unique to him, never listed in the ability, and we have no idea what the permanent costs were.
>>98736471That text clearly says its permanent cost only he can expend and has nothing to do with the vessel transfer technique.
>>98736495See >>98736494You're tiresome. You've completely failed to convince me you're doing anything other than torturing the CYOA's logic for the sake of self-indulgence. You remind me of the retard who thought it was okay to make factions both foes and nemeses at the same time, because nothing technically says you can't lmao.
>>98736511>You've completely failed to convince meIts impossible to convince stupid people, even when the quote you tried to use directly refutes your retarded assertion.
>>98736516Yeah, you're exactly like that guy. Have fun raping CYOAs, anon.
>>98736511It sounds like you're the one making up fluff that isn't there anon. It has nothing to do with our vessel transfer technique.
>>98736436huh... then I am just confused by the whole learning process if you can use the technique before your fully learned it why don't just call the process of learning only the part where you learn to cast the technique on the basic level learning and what comes after it mastery. Because doesn't this mean that if you use enough ritual phrases you can reach baseline level even if you haven't fully learned the technique?
>>98736520I accept your concession, next time don't lie and then throw a fit when you're proven wrong.
>>98736522you don't use it, the enslaved soul uses your aura system to use itpresumably, starting to learn a technique the normal way would also be like this 0.1% to 0.5% business, except a lot slower since you don't already know how to do it the way the enslaved soul does>Because doesn't this mean that if you use enough ritual phrases you can reach baseline level even if you haven't fully learned the technique?yeah, but baseline level in the sense of what's written in the cyoa, not in the sense of how good you would be with a properly learned technique
>>98736494Death of the Author, rules lawyering is a completely valid way to play a cyoa, finding ways to break the system is half the fun.
Are anons as cute as their anime avatars irl
>>98736526You don't have any concession, you cheating dumbass. Learn how to read.>>98736539The supplemental material isn't OOC, so death of the author doesn't apply.
>>98736541Yes
>>98736544>reading the material and not jumping to conclusions that aren't supported by the material is cheatingYour reading comprehension is just lacking and you were proven wrong by the quote you tried to use that I posted.
>>98736544still possible for interpretation as the great cost part was only said in the context of speed learning the techniques, there was nothing about alterations and vessel transfered isn't mentioned to have the ability to speed teach techniques so these things don't seem connected.
>>98736544It's not cheating you're just retarded and grasping at straws.
>>98736547>>98736561Ignoring the parts of the CYOA you don't like is at best sartre, but considering how obstinate you're being you're clearly just cheating.>>98736551It's technically possible, the problem is that all the fluff that surrounds it points in the opposite direction. Just like it was technically possible for the author to be fine with you taking foe and nemesis against the same faction, even though common sense should tell you that's not how it works.
>>98736565>Ignoring the parts of the CYOA you don't like is at best sartreStop sartring vessel transfer to have a permanent cost then, I don't know why you're making yourself a jobber like that when it isn't said so in the cyoa.
>>98736571Stop sartreing that it doesn't and we can start talking.
>>98736565Anon YOU are the one ignoring the text and saying things that arent there.
>>98736573I accept your concession. If you want to be a perma cost jobber you need to sartre that you learn whatever unique thing kofuko does that has a permanent cost.
Glock: cyoas/cyoagBird: shitposters (wodan, tok, gil, gilfag, etc)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll1sGuWlWIc
>>98736576They're right there, anon. You're just pretending they aren't.>>98736578You can accept a suck of my farts.
>>98736591You can be mad and throw a piss baby tantrum that you were wrong but that doesn't make you any less wrong, it just makes you look even more stupid lmao.
>>98736595I'm still right, and you're still ignoring reality. I accept your concession, by the way.
>>98736591You can't point out any text that tells you vessel transfer is definitively the permanent cost, and the text isn't even mentioning vessel transfer anywhere near the perma cost part. You're hallucinating making a power worse for no reason and completely unsupported.
>>98736598So anon any other horribly stupid interpretations you need debunked or just wanna continue this meltie?
>>98736565>It's technically possible, the problem is that all the fluff that surrounds it points in the opposite direction. Just like it was technically possible for the author to be fine with you taking foe and nemesis against the same faction, even though common sense should tell you that's not how it works.Yes, and it being technically possible allows one to invoke Death of the Author as its a valid interpretation that does not contradict the text. As vessel transfer was never mentioned directly to have a great cost.
>>98736602Anon, the vessel transfer is how the chargen happens, and the permanent cost is a reference to the vessel transfer and chargen. Just because you want to play mental gymnastics that end up with those potentially not being related that doesn't mean they aren't. I mean, technically they might not be, but you can't get around the fact that you're using tortured logic to make that leap.>>98736607I accept your admission that you're just sartreing.
>>98736618You're still being the one doing mental gymnastics and making conncections and leaps of logic completely unsupported by the cyoa itself. Point to the text where it says vessel transfer has a permanent cost, oh wait, you can't because kofuko never even hints vessel transfer was the thing requiring the cost and is in fact debunked by it being kofuko unique.
>>98736628No, my conclusion is natural and follows directly from the text. Your conclusion follows from selectively ignoring the text and a hefty amount of cope.

>>98736642You're less funny and just sad now. First you argue affinities don't help and now this. Were you the anti-ceremony tard yesterday too? Lol, you're so retarded.
>>98736584Why are birds like that
>>98736646Why would I when I already did multiple times, and your only defense is ignoring it? You know where it is. In the technique description. In the first paragraph of the CYOA. In the lore document. Go read it again.
>>98736653So I have been wanting to make a shapeshifter build that takes Mythic Beast as a Signature Technique so that I can out Monster the Monsters as a beast hunter. My mythic beast form is a kaiju sized multiheaded dragon (a bit like King Ghidorah but not a wyvern), with all sorts of goodies like redundant organs, powerful senses, and nigh invulnerable scales. For the special bonus I would obviously choose flame breath if it’s limited to one, but I think Signature Technique might let me get more. My recovery disposition is usable in combat and one of my strategies will be to literally devour my enemies. Outside of Mythic Beast my build is a bit bare as I am somewhat Potentialmaning here but I did take Illumination of the Heart as finding legendary’s in the wild is hard and I will need it when I face down the Abyss Lords (any decent Lovecraft monster has mental stuff). I also have a good team with a strong set of powers I will be learning from and vice versa, as well as a faction that has secrets. Technique Artistry is also relevant here as it enables me to teach other people techniques easier, and my sect is eagerly waiting for the Aura Burst. Not for me but the most important Technique for my companions and sect to learn will be Inhuman Evolution (big part of taking Fumie) so that my Monster Hunting team can all have monster forms as it changes the tactics of the whole thing significantly. Made sure not to piss off any other factions as I really want to stay PVE against monsters (and be loved by everyone) and not mess with the true nightmare PVP of the city (and King Yama can fuck off with his need for “Muscle”).2/2

>>98736656>softie calling people retardeddoesn't that hurt you? calling others a slur that you've lived as all your life?>>98736665i always disliked how vague the cyoa is about most numbers but then it gives hyperspecific numbers for giant shapeshifting forms and it triggers you when some anon goes 10000 larger than a technique that costs the same
>>98736653>All G3>No Limitless Meridians???
>>98736642>You're not, you're ignoring parts of the text, that's beyond rules lawyering and in the realm of sartre.which parts of the text am I ignoring? because to me it appears that you are adding factors never mentioned in the text. Your both implying that hidden cost beyond those in the descriptions of the techniques can exist. Then your implying that the speed teaching technique is the same as vessel transfer which i personally think is absurd.
>>98736676He's built different.
>>98736676>>98736681he has only three paid beneficial alterations, probably just forgot to write it down, or maybe he internally handled the cost down in the aura system section
>>98736673>softieAdd schizophrenic to the list.
>>98736691you can't hide from me, i can smell you
>>98736676>>98736686Yea just forgot to put it in.
>>98736673Yea I am assuming Signature technique makes my mythic beast form more like Efflorescence of Monstrosity or Divine War Form, which get weird with the mass despite other options being pretty vague.
>>98736695Yikes.
>>98736695He's been in samefag mode since gettingbukkake'd in the last thread. Please do your best to ignore the sudden uptick in posts about how based he is and how great his build is.
>>98736759The fact you people genuinely believe he’s sat here typing replies as three different people is baffling.
>>98736747That sounds like you're overblowing signature techique by orders of magnetude.
>>98736759Anon you sound very jealous of him. Tok behavior showing perhaps?

>>98736781madness*
>>98736781That still seems too strong, those are high tier techniques even among g3.

>>98736920You can use powers in sc without verbal components cant you?

>>98736928Vargebung failure...
>>98736934Yeah but he's dead as soon as he begins the casting. I'm really good at reacting to things.
>>98736942I am better than you.
>>98736949Doubtful.
>>98736942Post build
>>98736952You doubt, I dont. Thats the difference between you and I.While you doubt, I already plapped your waifu. While you doubt what to do I already plapped another. When you finalled decided to do something its too late. Jobber.
>>98736900Sense Karma makes me pay attention to the black-hearted alchemist nerd that dared to appeared near me. Sense Aura lets me see when the nerd begins casting a technique at me. Battle Flow makes me react and do everything long before a word leaves the nerd's mouth. Master Status Fluctuation takes me across the distance between us in a split second, the word still not even five percent out of the nerd's mouth. Ruination gong splatters the nerd into a mist.Another victory for the forces of justice.
>>98736954>>98736955Do you even waning lunar eon?
>>98736965Finally someone with functioning eyes and a solid brain.
>>98736968Do you even Hazy Moon slayer?
>>98736934Most of them. Not oblative gesutre and noble commandment. They're literally tied to words.
>>98735169When it's done. Speaking of Hentai Heroine, I just finished painting a big ass dragon. Now I only have 1 medium dragon and 6 small dragons left. The 6 small dragons have not arrived yet, since they are being shipped from Burger Land. So if I finish the medium dragon, I'll work on Hentai Heroine until the 6 small dragons arrive. Speaking of cool shit, I saw the new MtG precon commander set and god damn, that Jace commander is looking so fucking good. Would love to fill my deck with nothing but 8+ mana creatures. So fucking good, I'm getting that deck and modifying it 100%, donno if I'll turn it into a turbo dragon autist deck or a mismatch of the most disgusting creatures imaginable. Anyways, Hentai Heroine will be so much fun. I'm really hyped to be working on it relatively soon. I have some new ideas for new takes on old concepts never seen before in the lewd isekai genre, and I look forward to seeing how they are received when I release it. Also been considering adding more drawbacks, but as it stands, Hentai Heroine currently has over 300 drawbacks. So I might add more point tax options or options you want to spend points on. I have decided it should be 15 pages, so that will be fun.
>>98736965So basically you don't actually have any reaction boosters? Because battle flow doesn't let you move faster, just think more in shorter time.Jobber-kun jobbed as usual. Funny that >>98736971 samefagged himself.
>>98737006>samefagIs that all people say these days?
>>98737006We could argue about that, but that build has waning lunar eon too, so it's irrelevant.
>>98737006Finally someone with functioning eyes and a solid brain.
>>98737010Glad to see there's still anons who lack both.
>>98737007it's good a way to spot the low iq and schizophrenic ones
>>98737017Like the guy clearly >>98737009 responds on his own here but people are so eager to jump on it's the same guy obviously
>>98736968This is what I thought anon was going to say too but he actually said that without it. Lol.
>>98737020yeah, just try to observe what sort of anons are the ones that resort to calling samefag, it's pretty interesting in a morbid way
>>98736968Apparently anon doesn't.
>>98737006battle flow is a reacton booster, it's just not a surprise negator
>>98736985>more point tax optionsDon't fucking do that
>>98737048Reaction booster for your thoughts, not body.
>>98737056
>>98737063Sure but the guy said he has LWE too among other things.
>>98737066Only after anons called him out for being retarded.
>>98737063it has fluctuation so it's clearly a phase build so there is no distinction between mind and body reaction
>>98736809>>987368404chan no longer kill.>It seems too strongWelcome to anime anon, the whole point of Signature Technique is to get a custom Technique at around Legendary level. I might add that I haven't actually made any specific claims about how powerful my Dragon form is other than saying Kaiju size (which is actually extremely variable) and MORE LIKE florescence of Monstrosity or Divine War Form (I didn't say 100% equivalent). The raw power of the form is just a base anyway as I will be actively increasing it via Core and Phase Training (with the eventual goal of Legend Status in both), the real value of a signature technique is Aura economy anyway. Maybe it ISN'T as good as a War Form but it cost 8 Aura instead of 15 and no continuous drain either. As for the size of it, there is no stated limit on Mystic Beast and Signature Technique explicitly improves it in anyway it can be improved. Size is definitely fair game IMO and if Mystic Beast lets you be a Dragon, then Signature Technique Mystic Beast should let you be Ancalagon the Black.
>>98737074There's no reason to believe he didn't have it before like >>98736968
>>98737066>>98737074LWE is unnnecessary in that context. The nerd just spatters into a low-IQ puddle before he gets the word out one way or another.
>>98737091I completely agree but it's funny to mention just to further drive the point he won't even be close to teleporting you.
>>98736269>using magic to hex a major innocent public figure: totally a-okay>buying a phone when you know its long and convoluted supply chain, despite having no role in any of it: hecking EVIL you stupid chud!!!if everything worked as karma for digital magic worked then everyone would be drowning in bad karma
>>98737084>the whole point of Signature Technique is to get a custom Technique at around Legendary level.Thats not even close to what Signature Technique says or does. Lots of illiterate anons today.
Anons are starting to realize why Stalkers (and the Ninokata in particular) are so feared. Their abilities could let them get the jump on you or attack so fast you can't even activate a defensive technique in time even it is is a good one. This isn't a criticism of any particular build it's a reality that Phase Users have a counter for almost everything and are VERY hard to protect against even for a genuine powerhouse.
>>98737116Hahaha... AHAHahHAhAHHAhahHAhAH.Yeah, sure
>>98735978What's the point of this when Jedi Guardian of the Republic exists?This is just a way less in depth Jedi builder set during the same exact time period...
>>98737122Thank you for agreeing.
>>98737118Which is why you plap plap the ninokata and learn from them until you get the legendary status of phase.
>>98737118Which are your top 3 stalker builds?
>>98737116>Only addresses my first pointThank you for implicitly conceding everything else I said. If it makes you feel better I concede that signature technique says and does other stuff.
>>98736985Why is it either painting or cyoa making?Why do you have so little free time?
>>98737118waning lunar eon was always considered the strongest technique in the cyoahowever, the best builds aren't purely phase, you really want at least an equal focus on core to really use phase properly
>>98737141I'd even go a little further and say the best builds have a lot of investment in both those two with a little in flow.
>>98737151personally i'm partial to a little alchemy for ultracombos like tracking sigil + distortion
>>98737130Oh man it's been a long time since I went through the builds. I don't think there were many Stalker builds to begin with, and the potential maxing really kept people from buying the juiciest Phase powers anyway. But a genuine developed phase user with just a nice set of basic and great phase powers (that would easily bankrupt us if we tried to start with them) would be terrifying.
>>98737157That's a viable path too. In my case stacking more onto my weapon seemed better.
>>98737141No one was implying an autistic Phase only build. Most builds are dominant in one affinity or another and that's what I mean by Phase user.
Flow can do similar things to phase when you get into it. Merging with the scenery is a lot like mirror world inversion or master status distortion for movement and stealth, being made up of energy that needs an elaborate approach to wound is a lot like waning lunar eon's defense, etc.
>>98737194Flow is the bloody ultimate affinity if you are smart enough to come up with the right synergy but unfortunately I is the big dumb and can only think of surface level stuff.
>>98737200Just make a build, it's fun. Medium sublimation is the real advanced combo technique, but you don't need it, going with encompassing world avatar and omnipotent synchronicity of the elements instead works really well too. I wouldn't say it's the ultimate affinity. It's self-sufficient, you don't need to support it with another the way core and phase really need each other. Which is a good thing, since flow also really benefits from being heavily invested into, way more than the other affinities.
>talking about cyoas I don't likeYuck. Wake me up when September ends.
>>98736779>she said the line again
>>98737239You're surprised?
>>98737215That's a good perspective. That self sufficiency really is nice and it would have been an important consideration if we didn't have Limitless Meridians, but either way it is it's own thing and a true flow master will be heavily invested in it.
>>98737245Consider the likes of medium sublimation and reified champion though.
I'd have taken signature technique for my spirit sovereign build but I dont think it would do anything for spirit subjugation.
>>98737264It would help you have more aura softie.
>>98737264it would let you turn every spirit you subjugate into a succubus version of itself so that you could drop the retarded odalisue technique
>>98737264Yea the phrase "some techniques have more room for improvement" is really important and I sighed at all the people who took legendaries or whatever as signatures that realistically wouldn't benefit from it. For Spirit Subjugation it does what it does and can't see it doing it better really without touching the core of its mechanics so I say you are wise to not waste an alteration on it.
>>98737281Why would I drop a technique as good as that?
>>98737283Nah but >>98737281 is fair game? I'm not either one of them but I think it checks out.
>>98737287You can already do that with the base.
>>98737287A variant technique could maybe do that. Variant technique is slept on IMO for modifying techniques that are already peak power but could use a mechanic change.
>>98737296I used variant technique 4x once. I used variants of each of the legend statuses. The result? True immortality. Fuck everything else.
>>98737300>>98737116
>>98737300Lol, I KNOW pca would say it doesn't work like that but if the legend statuses really are a failed attempt at something possible then tweaking it really might succeed like that.
>>98737303Calling people illiterate while incapable of reading the difference between variant and signature. Shame!>>98737306The idea was that each of them was made weaker individually but together they make a four-part combo that's stronger than the original techniques.
>>98737303We are talking about variant techniques, not signature techniques. Dam illiterate.
>anons can't use context cluesSad!
>>98737316>Pedantic anon gets a taste of his own BSFTFY
>>98737320Sorry I need to remember most of the thread has sub 80 IQ and plays cyoas with the intent of sartreing half the mechanics to be in their favor.
variant techniques are slept on for a good reasonthat good reason is that you can do the same shit with technique artistry without wasting an alteration slotwant your purgatorial flames to be pink instead of blue because you're a sissy? you don't need variant technique for that, basic technique artistry is enoughwant to make an advanced summon combo that works exactly the way you want rather than the most direct mechanistic interpretation? master or legendary technique artistry will work>>98737326shut the fuck up you mongoloid, all you do is shit and fart, nobody needs your bullshit
Ahhh, vigorous arguing about CYOAs. It is enough to warm a nu-author's heart.
>>98737326>did these guys... use the official sartre option, and sartre'd a mechanic with it???gigachad yes.jpg
>>98737337Variant and Signature techniques really are borderline Sartre options. It kinda shows that PCA really was trying to be funny with us.
>>98737283I dunno, I keep kicking around if I should keep rebirth, it's a good thematic tie in to perennial lotus and my huge aura pool with sacred fountain and prevents me from caring about injuries and helps avoid death in the off-chance something hits me. If signature technique did much for me I might have considered it instead.
>>98737347no, he understood what cyoas are, you're supposed to have in cyoas so that's what they should be optimized for, if sartre options make a cyoa worse for arguing over on an argumentboard that's not a meaningful lossby the way you forgot technique artistry, it's just as sartre as the other two>>98737350drop it, it's shit in your build, you have no synergy with it because you refuse to make your body strong enough to make use of it
It's also worth noting that you could teach other people your variant technique, but a signature is empowered for you alone.
>>98737361its good precisely because I don't have core in my build, actually.
>>98737361>you're supposed to have in cyoasdamn, the word fun got censored there, clearly we're antifun now>>98737364if you had core in your build you'd have enough resilience to keep regenerating after every hit, you'd have extreme staying powerwithout any resilience you just die instantly so regeneration is meaningless
>>98737367>without any resilience you just die instantly so regeneration is meaninglessRegeneration keeps me from dying anon, of which I don't get otherwise since I don't have core.
>>98737369no, regeneration makes you recover from non-fatal woundsif the wound is instantly fatal because you're extremely squishy, then there is nothing to regenerate, you're just deadby the way you don't need core to be resilient, the only affinity that has no direct resilience is actually phase, both alchemy and flow have resilience optionsconsider a summon fusion, if you give yourself the resilience of one of your summons your regeneration stops being a wasted choice
>>98737373Nothing is fatal to me outside of total annihilation. I have enough regeneration at low dissipation to regenerate my entire body in seconds, and even at absolute bare minimum 0 aura in my pool no recovery dispositions active it only takes me two hours to regenerate my entire body.
>>98737364I have always been split on the value of Rebirth, especially without other regen to supplement. Personally at 5 points and an alteration slot, I would rather get Core, BUT if I had Lifelink and the Pain Recovery Disposition I would consider it. Not super appealing I know but it can be a crazy combo.
>>98737380>Nothing is fatal to me outside of total annihilation.rebirth doesn't give you regeneration this strong, the only source of that sort of regeneration is reconciliation of the immortal coil
>>98737380NTA but you need to be an undead to survive decapitations IMO (with relevant choices of course).
>>98737388i don't think even undead would survive an actual crushing of the brain unless they had a core or flow technique that lets them ignore it
>>98737394Relevant Choices are Lich's Rattling Bones (maybe) and Corpse Stich (confirmed)
>>98733733I made a new one.https://thirteen-gifts-cyoa.pages.dev/
>>98737387It does give you regeneration that strong if your aura regeneration is that strong. You could make the argument like this anon is >>98737388 that maybe something like a decapitation might kill me in the latter case of me having 0 aura in pool and needing two hours, but it could also just keep me alive since I'm regenerating constantly. I'm content to chalk that part up to a "might survive, might not".As long as my soul is still inhabiting my body i'm regenerating aura though, and my aura regenerates much much faster the less aura I dissipate, at low dissipation and having eaten a meal for instance I can definitely regenerate most of my body in seconds before my head would die from a decapitation, and in fact regeneration would stop wounds from worsening or me from bleeding out. Rebirth is good because of how stupidly ridiculous I made my aura situation.
>>98737411corpse stitch is against amputation of parts, not destruction of parts
>>98737394>>98737411Reread your comment and yea it might be Zombie logic where if you destroy the brain an Undead is toast.
>>98737414>It does give you regeneration that strong if your aura regeneration is that strong.rebirth gives you regeneration that corresponds to how fast your full pool fills up, so the size of your pool is irrelevant30 aura which fills up in 2 hours and 100 aura which fills up in 2 hours both provide the same amount of rebirth regeneration
>>98737124It's really absurd that some people make lesser versions of preexisting art. What purpose could they possibly have for doing this?
>>98737431>rebirth gives you regeneration that corresponds to how fast your full pool fills upYes that's what I said.
>>98737414when i said regeneration that strong i meant it doesn't recover you from chunks, only that core technique actually recovers you from a little sliver of bone or drop of blood, with only rebirth you'd still die easily against the tardbeasts out there that are punching you with the strength of ten thousand normal humans
>>98737446so it's not that strong? it takes two hours to regen from serious damage, just like the description says? glad you agreei hope you're then aware that it takes seconds to die, not hours
>>98737414IMO even really high rebirth regen is only Wolverine Tier, not Deadpool level. If you get a truly lethal injury you can't regen because you are already dead and your soul has left your body. Otherwise there would be no reason to even consider the Resilience alteration.
>>98737464it's less than wolverine, it takes an hour to mend an amputationlike yeah it would stop you from bleeding out very fast but you'd be lying there for a while before you recovered
>>98737447It would recover me from chunks at no dissipation because of how fast my aura recovery is with a full pool, especially if I've got the nutrition recovery disposition going with cultivation legend. Now at a 2 hour window would it keep me alive the whole time to regenerate? I don't know if the regeneration would keep me functionally alive that whole time, but my bet is "yes" but i'm also willing to admit I could be wrong.>>98737455>it takes two hours to regen from serious damageOnly if i've used all of my aura and have no aura recovery active. Read the vast aura pools, the more you have still in your pool the faster you regenerate, I have it to the point where it can take literal seconds or minutes to regenerate my full body at no dissipation.
>>98737467I was potentially including a recovery disposition but yea we agree.
>>98737472>nutrition recovery dispositionLol now I am imagining feeding a severed head baby food to help it regrow it's body.
>>98737472>It would recover me from chunksabsolutely not, rebirth does not recover from chunks at all, that's not part of its description or concept, you still need a functioning body to stay alive with rebirth>Only if i've used all of my aura and have no aura recovery active.the description says however long you'd take to recover your WHOLE pool, not how long it would take to recover 1 aura by 1 aura and sum it up to the same number as your whole poolbut you know what? even if you were right about this, you'd be changing it from 2 hours to 1 hour, so nothing would meaningfully change, you'd still die in seconds against a recovery time of an hour>>98737478the description of rebirth taking less than an hour to restore an amputation already includes all the recovery options in your favor, that includes everything softy is putting in his build and also meditating or something
