I want to run a couple experiments, would anons mind making builds to see if they balance things better?
>Experiment 1: Talent Discount
Making a builds where your talent rating in one aura type provides a discount. This is to make basic techniques cheap, master techniques slightly less ecpensive, and leave legend techniques largely the same.
Compare your "G" rating to the rating required for a technique, if you G rating is higher it subtracts it's value from the point cost.
Example:
Seismic Strike costs 5 poimt to buy.
Your build has G3 in Core.
Seismic Strike only requires G1.
Seismic Strike now only costs 2 points for you.
>Experiment 2: Aura Burst Mode
Kufoku mentions you'll be able to Double your points after completing an Aura Burst campaign, so why not make builds for that?
Make a standard build for your freshly summoned conscript, then making Another build for your conscript after completing all their campaign missions.

The second build gets build and equipment points equal to their starting "Potential"(45 for talented, 35 for mutated, etc). They get no bonus alterations.

Given how the "Prodigy" alteration works,, double these bonus points points for your second build, but equipment points are not doubled

If Spirits in human bodies made the half-spirit yokai and pca said chimera with human/coagulated souls will breed more chimera with souls, what happens if you use vessel transfer to put Spirits in chimera bodies and then have the possessed chimera breed?
>>
>>98812898
I like goon caves as much as the next guy, but this is too much.
>>
>>98812961
You'd get chimera that can learn techniques, but can't generste their own aura without draining it or getting human worship...
So you pretty much invented True Demons.
>>
>>98812961
You get fucked up spirit chimeras. The real question is, since yokai clearly have spiritual shit in their dna how can you use that to your advantage in chimera creation...

anons arkveld idea is strangely plausible if you can single out whatever gives yokai inherent aura draining and give that to a chimera
>>
>>98812939
So I decided to make a more serious self-insert build based on my heavenly weapon Yakuza that I was messing around with. That means this build is MUCH more potential maxed and obviously has a lot of starting gaps, but I also changed the weapon from Twin to Vortex, and race to undead.

While I stand by the idea of quad wielding flails, I realized that Ouroboros Chain really dominates the way this weapon would actually be used and multi wielding it would be a massive pain in the butt most of the time. So instead of Twin I have Vortex which despite being advertised mainly as defensive would have amazing uses to allow the head of my flail to hit its targets similar to the Spiral Impulse martial art or the Master Status- Convolution (it’s still good for defense too of course).

Going to be an Exorcist/Beasthunter (leaning towards exorcist obviously but I will definitely keep up with the Beasthunting side) hybrid that tackles the dangers of Limbo. As far as potential maxing goes, I really feel this has a lot to offer and is much more interesting than an Institute Apprentice.

Before anyone asks Heaving Stone and Molten Iron, and Beloved Name Blessing (mostly to get Severing Shear when I do my Exorcisms) are my top priorities to learn followed by a Bludgeon Art, and I will be training with Madoka to become a core badass (mostly for requiem stance which I could use as much as I want with Lich’s Rattling Bones) and I like her because I think we could eventually get Hana to join use on adventures as well and my build is kind of in between the two of them.
>>

>So you pretty much invented True Demons.
They should be sentient too, but with a mix of inhuman spirit thinking and humanoid chimera frieren-demon-style thinking. They be insane autists and complete fucking sociopaths.
>>
>>98812984
I have a lot of foes but honestly, I am not really trying to make serious enemies here. I am a fairly sincere member of the Exorcist Guild however and that puts me at odds with the Trigram and everything downstream of them, the Majushin and their Ancestor cult, and even the Feather Tribe because of their fanaticism. By no means am I unreasonable and frankly the Trigram will probably be able to buy me off from a serious campaign, but I will be a nuisance. Being undead and a beasthunter also puts me on decent terms with the House of Catacomb, the Red Demon’s (we just don’t talk about the Raja Danaav), and the Jiahao (too smart for the Hair Tribe though). Can’t really justify the Ninokata but no way am I going to be on their bad side.

1. Take to spirits and force them into a male and female chimera respectively.
2. Have them fuck
3. Raise the baby crimes against nature
4. Profit
Aura drain is just an inherent part of being a spirit or half-spirit according to the technique.

Not really a good example. Spirits are already chaos daemons by WH fantasy/40k standards and chimera are like primative pre-tyranids ancestors.

I tried to flesh out this himbo a bit more. Pure Body is a pretty bad conditional, but it just means he has to invent new weapon arts to do whatever he needs. Going by the martial arts that already exist I think the possibility is there. A wet worker associated with the Senguru.

Why not take the talent discount and use the points you save to buy improvisation arts? You can still combo improvisation, martial, and weapon arts the way flow combos conduction modes, flow states, and series techniques.

Basically maxed my stats am a master of all combat, and losing my gear wouldn’t be the end of the world as my body is my greatest asset. Even though it isn’t geared for Golden Wrath I critically chose “Hunter” which makes me a master of pointy sticks (everywhere ever), a master of throwing and great survival skills. Am a Grappler but have hunters ally which makes an arm invulnerable (crazy strong for a grappler) and lets me throw unlimited javelins, and the shield is stamina based which is great for Wrath. Combined with the amulet I get a better unarmed style, javelin bonus, regular melee bonus, and another stamina ability. Also chose Dagger specialization as that could be incorporated into the unarmed fighting. Like I told Liminal when he whined I picked charisma for my swear off weaponry bonus as I don’t need charisma when fighting but it is basically always active otherwise. Apology accepted
>>
>>98813129
Serpent and Genie’s Bottle are the best

It’s mostly the clothing gear that will break
>>
>>98813016

>You can still combo improvisation, martial, and weapon arts the way flow combos conduction modes, flow states, and series techniques.
At a fraction of the aura cost too.
A build can stack a legendary status devotion effect, A martial art, a weapon art, and all the improvisation arts for less aura than a flow build needs for just flow legend status and a max conduction alone.
It's the conduction isn't even necessarily more powerful either, because weapon arts like Blade that Cleaves the World can replicate Legendary Conduction Modes like Rending Scission Conduction for far less aura.
Flow affinity's biggest strength is how it's supposed to be able to stack shit to make combo spells, but everything is too expensive for that to happen until you spend another 100 years cultivating aura capacity and mastering more techniques.
>>
>>98813127
I think you sell Legendary Statuses too cheap. Out of all the talented Majushin (and, for example, Koha is described as prodigious) only two in history achieved proper immortality. It's not completely impossible, but it is much, much, much harder than you think it is.

>>98813141
If it is actually an option.
And if you don't mind being dependent on others to that extent.
>>
>>98813163
you don't need legend status to make yourself immortal though
>>
>>98813154
Still insane to me how many Flow techniques for Conductions are not only Devotion but also spend Continuously as you use it. It's so laughably aura hungry that choosing options is more of how to mitigate cost rather than actually using your technique.

That's why Conduction Form is hands down the best technique for Conductions because it's addressing the issue of your output versus your reserves. You just use more for less, for only 4 Devoted aura. Unless you use the cheaper aura cost Greats or Basics, it's a straight upgrade. Even if you don't, the ability to turn it up to 11 is always good. Having physical buffs while it's active is just a nice bonus.
>>
>>98813168
With this amount of enemies False Buddha is even less viable long term solution than usual.
>>
>>98813175

>>
>>98813180
Anon you're not going to survive for 49 days or whatever it is in a void sigil you absolute retard.
>>
>>98813154
>everything is too expensive for that to happen until you spend another 100 years cultivating aura capacity and mastering more techniques.
I thin that's the point anon.
Flow is the wizard build and a starting conscript is a level 1 character with +10 extra feats from a generous DM(Kofuko).
Core and Phase are so strong because their build is already pretty much done, but you still need to level up quite a bit before you have the spell slots to use high-tier magic.
Flow with Eventually get way mote powerful than either, but that time is still a long and painful journey awsy.

And then there's the fucking alchemists, who're somehow both Warlocks and Artificers in this analogy. They benefit disproportionately more than anyone else in this arrangement because their powersource is borrowing power anyway. They have an amazing build to start and will get exponentially stronger with time as they build magic items and summon minions.
Not sure what the author was thinking there.
>>
>>98813212
>And then there's the fucking alchemists,
>Not sure what the author was thinking there.
Could have just summed it up as so anon. You don't need to explain what everyone knows already.
>>
On my summoner build i'm seriously debating whether to drop perennial lotus since getting a spirit with the lifegiving technique nets me immortality right there and then, but in essence it's not 'guaranteed' I could get one that knows the technique.
>>
>>98813194
why not?
>>
>>98813239
You know what anon, that sounds like a great idea. You should definitely do that! :)
>>
>>98813233
Anon, don't try to hand the decision to the thread.
Either go full titsnium balls and gamba eternal life in the youdo gatch or take the one and only easy option for immortality you'll ever get.
Choose.

>>98813154
>spend another 100 years cultivating aura capacity

You need an entire kalpa to increase your pool by 50 maximum (and that includes Cultivation). You may not like it, but Meridian Expansions is the wisest choice of point investment.
>>
>>98813015
Potential maxing is the meta crybaby
>>
>>98813233
Honestly I doubt you'll replace perennial lotus with something meaningful so you might as well keep it. Also, your summoner build has bigger fish to fry with the question still hanging
>>
>>98813249
>>98813241
You don't even need anything at all if you're undead. And undead are the peak choice for alchemy.
>>
>>98813256
>Honestly I doubt you'll replace perennial lotus with something meaningful so you might as well keep it.
I was gonna use the two alteration slots I have for signature techniques in oblative gesture and spirit subjugation.
>>
>>98813015
Genuinely can't fathom being this retarded. Why even bother building at that point? Just pick overpowered since it's not like you're going multiplayer... and you can't cry about cheating or whatever when you're fully investing on jobbing until you learn enough techniques.

False Buddha is always a possibility if not, and it's way safer than it's description implies. Still I think my man Kofuko can handle it and if he IS Dokurokuro? Well let's just say my "Trigram Eviction" will be a bit lopsided.
>>
>>98813275
I mean, one spirit with lifegiving nets me infinite lifespan. But you're right, it's not guaranteed. You seem more worried about the spirit subjugation ruling than I am. Personally, even though it nerfs my build I still think the correct interpretation is that its just giving them aura, it just makes the most sense to me.
>>
>>98813294
I just don't think spending signature technique on it is worth it. Not having that ruling only reinforces the thinking.
>>
>>98813296
I agree if only because its nebulous if signature technique even does anything for them.
>>
>>98813284
>Wronganon crying about being a cheater
Lol, lmao even
>>
>>98813298
So we're on the same page. How much better can the subjugation even get? Just keep it as is.
>>
>>98813298
PCA really shouldn't have just assumed we wouldn't abuse signature technique
>>
>>98813059
In the Lore Doc when Kofuko says
>I do hope we’ll stay good friends though
he was talking to me specifically and if you're mean to him I'll find you
>>
>>98813308
He didn't take Trigram Eviction likely because he didn't want to mess with Kofuko. We all love our Skelly bro, even us Exorcists.

>>98813308
Softie said he was going to feminize kofuko when he spirit subjugated him and turn him into a lich harem wife.

i would never take hellfire debt because it permanently changes the ratio of how important good deeds are versus bad deeds for you personally

imagine if for most people karma says you need to save 20 lives to make up for 1 murder, but for you it's 400 lives saved to make up for 1 murder, yikes

meanwhile delicacy and fanservice are the sorts of drawbacks you can play with
>>
>>98813441
Pathetic Burgers. Probably going to change Trump's diaper.
>>
>>98813469
You can just pay the Temple to fix it. I don't want life to be a porno and delicacy is a really bad idea for an Exorcist in the Age of Trigram. I always felt that the good Karma earning penalty was just to make sure that it wasn't too easy to deal with. I would say it returns to normal once you pay off the debt and even if it doesn't it's the sort of thing that could ALSO be healed.
>>
>>98813488
i would say that it being permanent is the main part of the drawback
>>
>>98813492
No it's the risk of dying before you can pay it. 50,000 years in Hell? Huge gamble, even with a known solution. We aren't exactly in the safest occupations either.
>>
>>98813501
if it was just the 50k years i think it'd be a 1 point drawback at most given that you can just get it paid off, and it'd be even more limp than magmatic and quirk of personality

also imagine how this would work with universal sovereign, you don't even have to go to hell or heaven in that case, your karma is irrelevant for that purpose
>>
>>98812873
Is it gay and/or pedophilia if you fuck Lenka while she's in Gnat?
>>
>>98813509
Anon it's less points than having to grow up again in five years. And it isn't "easy" to pay off at the temple but as we know they are corrupt. They are supposed to make you do those good deeds. But seriously you think my interpretation makes it as easy to deal with as having cool villain rizz?

Here is the relevant passage BTW: "Further bad deeds bring you more Hellfire Debt than a good deed takes away." Nothing in there about permanently screwing you and it seems to refer to itself (the debt). It's a high interest loan that is easier to make worse than pay off. Once it's paid off you are in the clear.
>>
>>98813509
Universal Sovereigns don't care about Karma at all, it's free points for them and this is well known.
>>
>>98813521
It depends which body you are in.
>>
>>98813542
wrong, they still have karma for other effects like karma sense and the karmic blades, it's just irrelevant to reincarnation

I'm starting to see why that one guy took masamune.
>>
>>98813547
Fringe fucking examples anon. Also it maybe the case that accrued hellfire debt is separate from your current karmic imprint, because Karmic Outlaw is a completely different drawback and that is what effects what you mentioned. You can be a saint who wields Masumune with no penalty but go straight to hell if you don't pay up before you die if you have hellfire debt, and conversely you can die a karmic outlaw and go straight to paradise.
>>
>>98813572
Nta but while fringe they do matter.
>>
>>98813581
karma sense is the least fringe of all three of them, it has constant social consequences, reincarnation is less important than that

>>
>>98813581
>>98813585
Yea I am really referring to the karmic blades, no one gives a shit about them except that one guy. And as I said on the more important issue of what people see, we aren't Karmic Outlaws which is the drawback that would matter for that. It may seem odd that we can have hellfire debt (which is supposed to be a result of bad karma), without bad karma but it belies a bit of what sort of spirit Kofuko really is. Sorcerers have always sought to transfer bad karma and/or the punishment onto other beings with the aid of magic and/or spirits. Such practices actually work in Youdou and it is likely that the hellfire debt actually came from someone else, unless you also take Karmic Outlaw. We are quite literally a scapegoat.

>Flow will Eventually get way more powerful than either, but that time is still a long and painful journey away.
I wonder how strong elder senguru are? They're consistently called out as being incredibly competent exorcists and a power-block close to the majushin in power, so they have to have some method of meridian expansion faster than the standard 8 stars in a human lifetime.
If they can actually thrpugh around enough aura to properly use master level conductions and actually stack them with flow states and series spells, then they have to be absurdly strong by mortal standards.
>>
>>98813737
alternate phrases are allowed a little lying

>>98813059
god why did I take Workshop, that's obviously something you trade for. I can't ally with the scale tribe and not have Secrets.

>>
>>98813154
>It's the conduction isn't even necessarily more powerful either, because weapon arts like Blade that Cleaves the World can replicate Legendary Conduction Modes like Rending Scission Conduction for far less aura.
Max level Rending Scission is way better though. Compare 'you can slash through all a building's supports over the course of a fight' to 'you can cut through an entire building in one slash'.

Man, I reread how miserable places like limbo, the border wilds, etc are and it makes me want to help people. Honestly, the best way for me seems to be my chimeralord build, making mannequin and chimera squads to hunt down the bad chimeras in the dark places or deal with normal bad spirits, and being able to use transfiguration to make resistant and easier growing crops for the border wilds villages and such. Using transfiguration, panacea and herbal lunar pool to aid the sick and injured in the city as well.

A core build or flow build is strong, but they can only be in one place and fix so many problems, alchemy seems to allow the most good. Even my summoner build can't do as much. I'm not going to change my summoner build I think, but its an urge I got.
>>
>>98813847
They can do the same thing anon, the weapon art is just giving an example of tactical uses.
>>
>>98813865
No, it's pretty clear that's talking about strength. Why bother slowly cutting through support beams if you can just delete the entire building in one go? Also BTCTW says above 'you can cut through beams of pure marble at a distance' while the same feat is explicitly listed as a Major conduction feat.
>>
>>98813879
Ah its wronganon, you wont get me.
>>
>>98813882
No, I'm a different person. Seriously, just read the descriptions of the various techniques. If nothing else the sheer aura costs should make it obvious which one is stronger.
>>
>>98813795
I have always assumed the focus on acestism is a result of having to cultivate aura pools good enough for flow
>>
>>98813861
with mind splitting and the three master statuses you're already doing 95% of what you could if you care to devote a bunch of bodies to the problem
>>
>>98813890
Conductions all lie about their costs because they are balanced around EWA and OSE.
>>
>>98813890
NTA but wronganon isn't a single person but an ideal.

(Not actually weighing in on whatever you anons are discussing this time)
>>
>>98813890
You are intentionally being wrong so you are wronganon.
>>
>>98813913
Wronganon...
>>
>>98813916
Literally what in the cyoa makes you think that BTCTW can cut through entire buildings on it's own?
>>
>>98813916
by this logic the best way to be wronganon is to call people wronganon as an excuse to leave a conversation you don't like
>>
>>98813923
The fact that you are wronganon, therefore the opposite of what you're saying must be the truth.
>>
>>98813933
Well of course calling people wronganon is the strategy of the wronganon they have no arguments so they just use Ad hominem in attempt to besmirch the other
>>
>>98813976
>>98813926
Ups wrong reply
>>
>>98813907
I'm pretty sure that's not true.
>>
>>98813982
i'm certain it's not true, but as you can see this isn't a good time for reasoned arguments
>>
For reference:
>A simple wave of the sword through the air can slice an opponent’s neck from fifty meters away, or cleave cleanly through beams of pure marble at a distance.
VS
>Mere mortals can be cleaved in two with a wave of the hand, as can thick beams, metal barriers or door hinges. At still higher levels, entire buildings or forested glades can be divided in a single rending cut.
>>
>deliberately vague fluff versus deliberately vague fluff
>>
>>98813991
Evidently.
>>
>>98814003
The intended power levels are pretty clear anon. One cuts through beams, the other cuts through beams but can go even higher.
>>
>>98814014
I asked claude what the best infiltration technique is and it said rending scission conduction because you can just cut through locks instead of picking them. This means it's bad for combat, it can't be good at cutting through locks and combat at the same time.
>>
>>98814020
>claude
Ah shit, guess I was wrong. Claude knows best.

i just had an epiphany

the old meme about "if you kill your enemy, they win" is actually true on 4chan

if you convince someone you're too retarded to talk to, you win a 4chan argument, that's the shitposting meta

this means that shitposters are canadian
>>
>>98814029
>canadian
HISSS
>>
>>98813994
I wonder what a complex wave of the sword does.
>>
>>98814050
it can slice twice
>>
>>98814053
nah probably more than that. especially with how hard weapons can scale
>>
>>98814050
Takes a screenshot.
>>
>>98814054
sure, if you have a double-bladed weapon it can slice four times
>>
>>98814029
You just need to kill your enemy well enough if you have the superior mass of evidence you simply stop replying as you provided enough evidence for people to make the right conclusion. Calling them retarded just shows them that they succeeded in pissing you off. If the claim is especially retarded don't even engage in it from the start you already lost by trying to argue an obvious shitpost.

Well you win real debates with text walls, winning an internet argument is not something worth bothering with as long as you are satisfied with the information you provided should be enough. Even a single person potentially getting more informed by what you provided is a worthy goal.

>>98814122
sounds risky, how do you make sure you don't become more informed by someone else instead

We could do with more builds that aren't just martial arts based.

>>98814122
>I-it's not like I wanted you to read my text walls, b-baka!
>>
>>98814147
Most of mine aren't. I just randomly made a talented build based around the two multitude techniques in core. It's a very different take on shape shifting than relative form. Kind of similar to inhuman evolution, less power in each form but a lot more diversity to think about if you feel like getting into it. Sadly I think relative form is still the best shape shifting technique because it also gives you regeneration.

It's that or a dead thread. You don't want a dead thread, right anon?

well getting more informed would be a good thing that would just be learning. You would only need to make sure that the information you are learning is valid and properly backed up so you don't fall into conspiracy theories.

My first statement here was this one: >>98814247
Where I state that thread activity has died down due to the presence of 450 posts a thread about spirit conscript, drowning out regular cyoa discussion
I didn't call it shitposting, and it wouldn't be in smaller doses, but this isn't even a new release and it's being organised by discord users to blot out the sun
I understand that it can be easy to lose hope in others

Most of it seems to be bickering about powers, which is normal

>i joined the discord during one of the recent wog runs and there's no organization there
There are 4 listed discords and any number of unlisted ones, and I recall softie (A discord user) specifically talking about trying to steer the thread back to spirit conscript when people were getting back to doing normal things, which in my eyes is very bad

Finally made a Mutated build I like, I wanted to do one since the start.
I want to figure out how to give myself Sacred Fountain, meridians expansion and all G3, starting with a Vast system and G2s should make it easier.
I wanted Divergent Lifestreams, Panacea and Poison to combine with Vessel Transfer, but I don't really like Ryoko and Fumie, Fumie doesn't know the how of the technique anyway, Poison will do and it's great with Tactics and Deceit. The Hellion Mob is big but with a lot of infighting so they shouldn't be too much of a problem to have as Nemesis. Learn from all my allies, become a member with Deceit and Mind Splitting.

Mind Splitting so you don't die when your are killed and False Buddha so the people using Lifegiving Immolation on you can recover.

PCA on spirit subjugation question from last thread:

Spirits dont get permanently empowered, its aura into their own pool siphoned from your own pool
But like Kofuko says, they're dramatically more efficient at using aura than people
So its a wise investment of aura on the subjugator's part
But no its not permanent improvement
Basically treat that sub-ability of Spirit Subjugagtion as "make them stronger as if they suddenly got a bunch of worship/rituals dedicated to them, but siphoned from your pool"

Nerfs me from before like I thought it did, but it makes the most sense to me that its just giving them aura to use for themself.

>they're dramatically more efficient at using aura than people

Fuck, is Universal Sovereign really the best way to become THE STRONGEST?
>>
>>98815640
It comes from skill, not an inherent trait of spirits. They need to be efficient since they can't generate it.

PCA also said this:

The capacities and knowledge of the Spirit itself, of course, can improve
So it can still learn and improve, but just the normal slow way like everyone else does

Which is stuff we already knew about subjugated spirits. But it does mean my build with as much aura regen and aura capacity as it has is validated, I can't really super boost a spirit like we thought before, but I can keep all of my subjugated spirits topped up to their maximum aura reserve by feeding them aura out of combat. It's like being a willing aura slave except the spirit is the one that's the slave. So a spirit can use whatever abilities it wants without fear of running out, and in combat I could keep a spirits aura going by giving it aura to keep conductions or such going, and of course, we know training techniques requires utilizing aura so I can help my spirits learn techniques by boosting them with my monstrous aura regen.

Another interesting thing, anons before were talking about how the trigram probably had pools of like 100 or something, and when you think about it, aura slaves are probably the most sought after commodity for spirits. Someone with even just deep reserves could keep a spirit with like 30-40 topped up most of the time, someone like me with sacred fountain, legend cultivation and 62 aura could keep a theoretical 100 pool max vuseba topped in less than four hours just by myself.

That's what I've been saying

If this is your takeaway I pity you.

>>98815781
Search your heart, you know it to be true.
>>
>>98815781
Universal Troons always looking for ways to suck their own nonexistent cocks. Its pathetic.
>>
>>98815815
Anons found out they can get a lot of aura from being slaved to softie and immediately called it the best thing ever and jumped on the bandwagon.
>>
I don't know what the fuck are you smoking. I'm just disappointed with another example of alchemycentrism from PCA, and I actively choose this interpretation >>98815647 for my run.
>>
>>98815854
That's not an interpretation, the lore doc explicitly says this. Spirits are more efficient because they are immortal and thus have way more experience than a mortal could ever hope to have.

You don't need to choose, it's the canon reason.
>>
>>98815891
Couldn't an immortal human also become that efficient?
>>
>>98815864
>>98815891
It's all fine as long as it's not an inherent quality that humans can't replicate. I've always included longevity/immortality in my builds anyway.
>>
>>98815908
Yes, they're just way less inclined to become so seeing as how they can generate their own aura. A 1000 year old human is likely less efficient than a thousand year old spirit purely by necessity on the spirits part.
>>
>>98815913
Yeah but that 1000 year old human is going to be way more efficient than a normal aura using human. Anons shouldn't be flocking to spiritdom for efficiency's sake.
>>
>>98815922
Abolutely, yea.

High Flow gives "immaculate energy control" by itself. And not all spirits have it.
>>
>>98815956
That's telling you that you can do things like conductions, not giving you efficiency.

>>98814490
Right, let's

>I will inevitabley be in quite a few strange places, so it would be a good idea to have many options

Assuming there were supposed to be companions and missions then:
Companions:
It's a harem.

Missions:
Seeking great magical power and thorough magical understanding. Maybe kill someone evil if they seem particularly disruptive
>>
>>98815963
>not giving you efficiency.
Not sure that's true, given how that phrase comes up again this the flow legend status when talking about how they generate conduction constructs without spending aura.
>>
>>98816098
If phase G3 increases technique effeciency, then that'd help them a bit. Not much since the big build-defining techniques are legendaries that need G3 as a minimum to use them, but it'll hel a bit.
>>
>>98813900
>I have always assumed the focus on acestism is a result of having to cultivate aura pools good enough for flow
Probably have an aura pool minimum as well. Senguru leaders are all likely chosen from a young age form the pool of 0.00001% that get born with a Vast pool.
Being Human and Cultivating their entire lives, they'd have 40-42 aura.

I have two companion slots because of charismatic on my summoner build. Without going for romances, what are two good bodyguard or hired muscle companions? Sayuri seems like a good one to fluff as me paying her for her bodyguard services and to help protect me while I exorcise spirits, any other options?
>>
Does someone have the cyoa where you are the zombie?
>>
>>98816167
She's not one of his foes, lol.
I think he's a bit too personally weak for this kind of foemaxxing, but he has a lot of allies as well. And Legend in Tactics. He'll be fine. Probably.
>>
>>98816174
Mitsue is also a bodyguard and has really good enemy detection
>>
>>98816211
True but she seems rather not good for a platonic relationship.
>>
>>98816218
Then Rin?
>>
>>98816174
You want help against mortal or against spirit ?
>>
>>98816270
It was just help in general, like paying bodyguards. But now I realize that would probably reflect poorly on me as an exorcist, since it would come off as being unable to beat spirits without help.
>>
>>98816270
Is there really even a point for gaurding against mortals? Spirits seem to be the real danger in youdo.

Who cares, take the Ks and Ming Yue to help with work, no such thing as having too much competent help.

Wait, Noble Commandment lets you dpend sura to imbue your voice and words with the ability to alter reality to your will.
Oblative Gedturr allows you to spend aura to imbue your gedtures and poses with the ability to borrow power from spirits.
Both allow you create your own words/gestures.
Can't you use these as another way to amplify techniques in a similar fashion as technique artistry?
Why not turn the Prayer of another technique into a series of Noble Commandments so that you can spend extra aura to amplify the final technique.
>>
>>98816591
How does oblative gesture help here? It's just a way to quick-summon spirits. How are the spirits helping your technique?
>>
>>98816623
Anon, spirits ave spooky powers inherent to thrm and know their own techniques.
Make mutual pacts with spirits that have powers/techniques that compliment the techniques you're using the gesture for.
>>
>>98816591
>Oblative Gedturr allows you to spend aura to imbue your gedtures and poses with the ability to borrow power from spirits.
No, it's just making a pact to have a spirit do something for you when you make a gesture and spend aura.
>>
>>98816698
Yes. I leaned too hard intonpurple prose with that one.
You can still make cool combo abilities by mixing technique artistry for a release technique with gestures you use in a pact.
>>
>>98812939
Does taking chimeric shape with mythic beast let you turn into a chimera of mythical beasts with multiple mythic powers? Like mixing a drakon with a gorgon to be a chimera with both fire breath and a terror inducing glare?
>>
>>98816735
Nay
>>
>>98816735
I don't see why not. Replace your lungs with dragon lungs and breath fire like them.
>>
>>98816735
yes you can combine your techniques.
>>
>>98812939
Flowing Channel and Expanding Ocean, and Falling Blossom and Wavering Petal have the same release phrase.
>>
>>98816735
Holy shit, you just made me realize shapeshifters basically have access to flow techniques exclusive to them. With weater control, water control, air control, and water/wind/thunder breath, they basicall have Seismic Sea and Raijin Thunderstorm conduction modes.
A Pure Body shapeshifter with Chimeric Form and Mythic Beast can just thow down like a Senguru.

nta but Pure Body is definitely viable. It's not the strongest thing, but you can make a solid build with it.
>>

I have look up Deus Vult
>>
>>98816785
No, purebody still sucks.
You've got a cool point that mythic beast is basically cheap flow though. 3 out for 4 of the great racial techniques are basically a cheap affinity amplifier. Stalwart prejudice is a massive amplifier for core and plague of death is broken on a summoner build when you consider fusion-summons. The odd man out for this is yokai not having anything for phase.
>>
>>98816821
Damn, thanks bro. I’m gonna play this.
>>
>>98816791
Mythic Beast lets you turn into any number mythical monsters. Chimeric Form lets you turn parts of yourself into forms you know. Chimeric Form + Mythic Beast lets you take parts of mythical monsters instead of just normal animals. Techniques stacking in exponential ways is the norm according to the cyoa.
>>
>>98816821
You ever going to finish the shared universe cyoa series deus vult, minslaver, and dark magical girl share? It's been years.
