>>98847719https://strawpoll.com/7rnzVz1pLnOWe're closing in on Halloween, and I think it's about time to set up our next CYOA contest. In the (hopefully temporary) absence of the previous anon I have put together this poll so we can decide on a theme. It draws on the classic monsters you might see in costumes, movies, and decor this time of year, but contestants are encouraged to reimagine their subject or keep the connection loose. If you want to hew closely to the original, that's also welcome. Collectively, we will select our favorite monsters via ranked choice. The top two will be fair game for the contest; you may submit entries using one or both as inspiration. This poll will run for the next 2 days, at which point anons will have about 10 days to complete their entries before the 1st of November. This is a quick one. Like last time, entries will be voted on in several categories, including best overall, most on theme, and so on. More to be detailed later - cast your votes! Very much looking forward to seeing what everyone creates.https://strawpoll.com/7rnzVz1pLnO

have a toktastic night guys
>>98847752He did, clearly, as he even made a poll.

>>98847792no way brah
let's fucking go brahs
https://imgchest.com/p/na7konjjwy8Next verse, same as the first>Experiment 1: Talent DiscountMaking 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 6 points to buy.Your build has G3 in Core.Seismic Strike only requires G1.Seismic Strike now only costs 3 points for you.>Experiment 2: Aura Burst ModeKufoku 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>Experiment #3The Aura costs of techniques is reduced by taking Training. Each training reduces a specific category of techniqued by 1 star at initiate, 2 stars at master, and 3 stars at legend.The category of Techniques a Training effects are specific.Skill Training can reduce aura cost for a techniques below 1, but doesn't make a technique free. Techniques with on aura cost below 1 have a cost from 0.75 to 0.25 of one star
Couple more Spadesy CYOAs incoming. This guy made a lot of great ones. The archive is such an incredible resource. We owe a lot to AllSyncanon. I can't count how many times I've discovered some of my favorite CYOAs were by the same author thanks to his efforts cataloging them

Malignant Alterations are thematically based around gaining novel foes to test myself against; given how punishment-focused the build is, and with an Eccentric love of battle, this won’t be too overwhelming. Hellfire Debt can eventually be cleared by honestly serving the common folk as an Overseer.]>Aura System: Vast Specialist>Recovery Disposition:LovePain>Aura Affinities:Core G3 [-3 AP]Phase G3 [-3 AP]Flow G1 [Free]Alchemy G0 [+1 AP]>Trainings:Martial Arts (Legend) [Free]Investigation (Legend) [Free]Cultivation (Master) [Free]Tactics (Master) [Free]Stealth (Master) [Free]Athletics (Legend) [-6 AP]Acrobatics (Legend) [-6 AP][Trainings all synchronize with or enhance one Technique or another, while Tactics and Investigation ensure it isn’t all brawn and no brains, so that the build isn’t destroyed by the first prepared opponent or esoteric technique it meets and can’t decipher. Pain Disposition is also very useful for long fights, and Stealth to avoid them when necessary.]
>>98847856>>98847866Hell yeah

I don’t want anything to do with Factions. Fang Wenyan deals with social and out-of-combat matters, while Lady Hakuma covers Aura recovery. Rivals are all physical combatants, and the Nemeses are ones this build would already be fighting. If possible, I’d probably seek out more passive Techniques, like the Eye Techniques, or try to find Living World Refolding and Reconciliation of the Immortal Coil.]
>>98847889>Signature Technique (Consummate Self-Incarnation) [Free]>Signature Technique (Waning Lunar Eon) [Free]Boring
>>98847898>Stalwart Prejudice (Women)
>>98847906Well, what else should the build have gone with?
>>98847939NTA but divine hand is probably the best single target if you had to pick just one.
>>98847939Signatures for the martial arts or cooler traits like resilience and sacred fountain. He somehow chose the most boring things to take as perks.
WLE is a good Signature tech, extra speed is always good.But CSI sucks as a Signature. It will make your stealing more potent, sure, you can steal from them faster, but it won't give your enemies extra stats to steal.
>Flow is the wizard playstyle. Someone actually said thisThey should kill themselves
>>98847984What playstyle is it then, anon? It looks very wizard-y to me.
>>98847987Alchemy you absolute retard
>>98847984It is.>CoreWarrior>PhaseRogue>FlowBattle Wizard>AlchemyNon-Combat Wizard
>>98847993>i-it’s a different kind of wizard, o-okI accept your concession
>>98847996It is, they're both wizard powers just different sides of the coin. Why are you so mad about this?
>>98847993>Non-Combat WizardThey fight a different way dipshit
>>98847999It’s ALL wizard powers you absolute dingus
>>98848001They fight by not fighting and sending minions or traps at people and their entire gimmick as an affinity is making other things do stuff for them. An alchemist summons a spirit, a flower throws a fireball at you. Both are wizards, one would rather beat you to death by channeling the power of acid or plants or whatever to cast spells at you, the other creates golems or summons ghosts and crafts magical items.
>um, wizardry is when you blast and blow up shit>um, wizardry is when you have a list of spells >um, wizardry is when you prep rituals in advance >um, wizardry is when you summon cute minions
TransmutationTranslocationConjuration Necromancy roughly?
You can go for minionfagging with Flow. Flow is the most versatile affinity, but it isn't best at anything but maybe synergies.
>>98848008Cunning and coordinating, logistics, is the superior form of fighting. It’s the same with wizards in other fictions: why learn to conjure a fireball when you can conjure a demon who can conjure a hundred fireballs?
Chi/Ki is Chinese Mana and don’t think otherwise
I think almost every build can be improved with some flow.
>>98848031You killed the thread.

huh... yeah when you think about it Spirit Conscript is just about making the most efficient serial killer you can
>>98848208>>98848214Meruem's MightGreat SageTwo Quirks (Overhaul, Star and Stripes)HakiMeruem's talent is absolutely bs, and with that and Great Sage I can build pretty much all powers I would want.Star and Stripes is unlimited utility until I create the powers I want, and Overhaul is pretty much Edward Alchemy by itself.Haki is there only because I need the willpower, else I would probably get Geass.
>>98848189Come pass the time with SC instead of whining in the void.
>>98848733Entropistbros...?
>>98848751IIRC, Nen has limits on how many powers you can effectively have, and Meruem isn't even Specialist to cheat such limits. Chakra or Frieren's Magic are better if you want all the powahs.
why thread die
>>98847845I agree with >>98847853. The only person who can properly play Are You Still in Pain is the author. Too many of the relationships are too obscure to understand what fits together, and the payoff of so many of the missions is unclear. I want to like it, though. From what we've sussed out over the years - that it's an isekai situation gone horribly wrong, compounded by a time loop - it's a great concept. Just maybe not as a cyoa, though? (A novel or webcomic, though? Sign me up!)
>>98848864we have finally discussed everything there is to discuss regarding spirit conscript
What is your favorite eye power across all cyoas (franchise cyoas excluded)? You can choose only one.
>>98848926the cool one from demon eyesdon't need to specify since everyone knows which one is the cool one
>>98848937Sadly, Purest Sin is completely useless by itself.
>>98848947
>>98848954
>>98848958
>>98848947I considered remastering this CYOA after being inspired by Spirit Conscript and its popularity but I don't really like going back to old works.
>>98849146>I considered remastering this CYOA after being inspired by Spirit Conscript Like what? Give every companion beach ball sized boobs?
>>98849146Please do. It would be cool to see.
>>98849149I don't speak to filthy nyaaggers.
>>98849146Do it do it do it!
>>98849149Expand on the Demonic Auras by adding a bunch of actual powers you could choose from like SC's releases. Maybe a personal weapons section, An angel aligned female only missionary school and seperate builds into 3 or 4 "School Grades" of power that prevent higher grades from harming lwoer grades so people who want to play weak builds don't have to be ganked by powerful T10 EdgelordsIdk... I'm already working on too many other CYOAs I don't want to add another to the list
>>98848926SSE from Spirit Conscript
>>98848926x-ray vision from any lewd cyoa
>>98849165But what's the point of being a T10 edgelord if I can't bully T3 nobodies?
>>98848947Split eye of duality >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> every other eye
>>98849213Why would you want to? they should be so far beneath your notice that they're practically invisible like The Fading Schoolgirl
>>98849146I unite with my fellow anons, please do.
>>98849213>>98849218>local careless t10 edgelord jobs hard to someone with pre-stacked Eye of Time Torpor
>>98849165do it please? it sounds cool.
>>98849218What if the t3 weakling hits on your girlfriend?
>>98849257Those who overextend to higher grades have divine punishment laid down upon themOr realistically the "pressure" between grades is so strong that it makes that sort of thing impossible. In my mind it's like cultivation realms or world barriers
>>98849257She sounds like a robot and she is an android. She is able to defend herself.
>>98849263Things like that are best left for xianxia settings. After all, t10 chuu2s will be helpless against something like fully fallen Betrayer as well.
>>98849146>being inspired by Spirit ConscriptThat's a strange thing to be inspired by for this. But that only makes it more interesting to see what it becomes after, so you should do it. Worst comes to worst we still have the old version.But aren't you the guy making the Ranni Elden Ring cyoa?
>>98849291Yeah, I'll focus on Ranni then decide what to do
>>98849298FINNISH RANNI AND LET ME BE ELDEN LORD AGAIN AND MY SOUL IS YOURS
>>98849358>FINNISH RANNIIs there a specific reason why you want her to be Finnish?
>>98849358>FINNISH RANNImjäyy :3
>>98849382nta but it's lore accurate since the entire game is set in Finland.
>>98849146>I considered remastering this CYOAPathetic!>after being inspired by Spirit ConscriptThat's a garbage CYOA>I don't really like going back to old worksThen don't make something new instead of endlessly remastering your old shit like Aro. I fucking hate remade CYOAs.
>>98849463Thank you for the input Tok, very cool.
>>98849463Thank you for confirming he should in fact remake that cyoa. We all know you have shit taste so if you are against something it's a clear indication that it's good.
>>98847827Best Rival to get into recurring fight with (it's good training) ?
>>98849527Niwamaru ofc.
>>98849527depends on your build
When a CYOA author starts making remakes, they have ran out of creativity and passion
>>98849539Tankista bros... our response?
>>98849298>Wants to remake his old CYOA>Already has an unfinished CYOA in the worksSo the Ranni CYOA is a never ever?
>>98849569Actually, I have 5 unfinished CYOAs in the works :)It'll just take longer than usual because aside from needing to redo the missions choices 3 times over I've decided to add more choices to her CYOA and, much like Tok, I realised CYOAs below 10 pages just aren't worth the time and effort. Also I'm an old 30yo man now with a bad back, I naturally do things very slowly so as to not injure myself even more.
>>98849599>picThis actually makes me cry...
>>98847728>10 days to create a cyoaAnon, i do not mean to be pessimistic and your initiative is good, but the only cyoas you'll ever get from an author within that timeframe are pill pickers or waifupickers.We have lives and jobs outside this thread. I refuse to believe that this >>98847719 was done in just 10 days if it included planning and brainstorming.Please make it one month, halloween lasts for the whole month of november anyway. You just have to believe in the spirit of halloween
>>98849614you need like 30 minutes for a pill picker and 1 hour for a waifu picker
>>98848823The limit is how much potential you have, in the sense that Kastro wasted his time building a move that didn't suit him, cobining all the stuff I have it should be extremely secondary.Chakra just gives me the talent of a chunin, and Frieren's magic isn't something I can rely on.
>>98849533
>>98849599Authors like you need to get gender bent and clit boxed.
>>98849661To have such a severe lack of ideas that you can only create one CYOA at a time is a true shame for you to bare.
>>98849661>Tokgross creep>DollanonPretty girlIs this an example of "you are what you make"?
>>98848208>Anya's T.>Sun B.>Ed's Alchemy.>Upper Rank.>Frieren's Erolf.
Does italics still make cyoas anymore or is he dead?
>>98849674It's not that I lack ideas, I have in fact, too many ideas. I have so many CYOAs I want to make, but unlike you, I have discipline and iron will. I kill hundreds of my own ideas, and I do it daily. Because in the end I am only 1 author, and I can only make 1 CYOA at a time. If I were to chase every I idea I had, I would get nothing done, and thus I must cull them. But you do not possess the strength to do so, so you chase your own flights of fancy to no end and get nothing done. I am almost done with my warhammer army, which I have single-mindedly painted with dedication and zeal for almost 2 years now. What have you done in 2 years? You have been WIP posting nonstop about your Ranni CYOA and have nothing to show for it.
>>98849599Is it just a Ranni cyoa or like an actual Elden Ring cyoa?
>>98849720>I have disciplineYou really do. You can't escape your punishment tok, Discipline will always be with you.
>>98849720> What have you done in 2 years?Considering I only decided to come back in time to see Tankista's LoTM CYOA which was posted 7 months ago(?) In that time I completed an Ajin inspired competition CYOA, made significant progress on Ranni's CYOA which I decided to make on a whim thanks to Voidsoul, had a sudden epiphany that helped me regain interest in some old WIPs I thought I'd drop, made significant progress on 3 of them taking them from eternal WIPs to actually potential future CYOAs, and laid the foundation for a brand new masterwork CYOA to rival Doll WaifuI'm quite happy with my progress with a hobby I occasionally work on.>>98849748It's based off of The Lady's Very Own but significantly expanded, still focusing mainly on you being Ranni's Vassal. Voidsoul's Elden Ring CYOA seems to be more general Elden Ring
>>98849770
>>98849720Tokhaar Gol, in dragonfall, what exactly is that lifeforce that Metztli is asking for? is it the natural lifespan? if so, do different species have different amounts? how much would a greater dragon or any other immortal being have?Also, is there any way to get rid of Mana Breath as a mage that's already burning? seems like your only options are to let it burn away all your mana (or die if you have magic t4 because it comes with limitless magic).and how would a god react if you stole their pact reward with Megumi and then acted based on what you were supposed to do anyway? For example if you stole the Eye of Magic from Memnoph and then conquered an island from a dragon lord and had the populace worship him? (I'm specifically asking about him, but I'm also interested in the general temperament of gods)oh, and if you don't mind saying, what effect does mana infused dragonite have? does it differ between armor and weapons? are the dragonite effects similar to the Legendary Traits with similar elements?
>>98849770>masterwork CYOA to rival Doll WaifuAnon, I don't know how to tell you this but nobody liked Doll Waifu. Among other things because when it finally came up after all the hype it wasn't about a doll waifu at all.
>>98849782I liked it ;_;
>>98849782Many anons got filtered by the doll house builder choices I'm aware. But I enjoyed making it at least.
>>98849793>Many anons got filtered by the doll house builder choices I'm aware.If you think that's why they got filtered you clrealy have bigger problems to worry about.
>>98849599>Pic...Why would the tarnished pseudo god-king get old?Also, why would death even be tragic here? Ranni could just gift the tarnished a doll body like the good ending in Lies of P.This is just forced drama for the sake of drama.
>>98849806>This is just forced drama for the sake of drama.Sssssssh, you'll break the fantasy.
>>98849806it's, uhh, destined death pollution
>>98849829I knew that shit was bad for the enviroment.
>>98849806Destined death was unleashed so even tarnished could die of old age. Also soul transfers might only be possible for sorcerers who cut out their primal glintstone hearts and transplant them into new bodies,
>>98849839>Destined death was unleashed so even tarnished could die of old age.That's not how that works. The Glome-Eyed Queen and the God Skinners wouldn't have been necessary if destined death was an automatic force that could do the work itself.
>>98849854Uuuuuuh, God-Skinner...Curse...or something...
>>98849854It is an automatic force, that's why it's called destined death. Also the Tarnished have their destined deaths essentialy postponed by grace which is why you don't even permanently die if you're killed by Maliketh. Also the GEQ used the godslaying black flame to kill gods empowered by destined death not destined death the concept itself
>>98849463FINISH PAINTING
>>98849887No, don't. We are not missing anything of value from him anyway.
>>98849720>speaks of discipline>doesn't have the discipline to continue wodan puppeting
I'm actually excited for hentai heroine...
>>98849705Why would you need a failed novelist when we finally have a discussion that won't die in two threads max?
>>98849904I'm just worried what the loss of one more old author would cause cyoagWhat do we do when all the oldfags who create threadkillers are gone and we have to rely on newfags with 0 achievemets besides Entropist so far?
>>98849913then the newchads create the new threadkillers, retards. No remaining oldfags is worth anything, else they'd have moved on with their lives already.
>>98849903We know tok, you keep telling us.
>>98849913We're doing fine without them.
>>98849932Tok's DragonfallPCA's Spirit ConscriptEvery single Tankista Kinowhen are the newfags gonna pull their thumbs outta their asses?
>>98849887I'm almost done only got 1 medium dragon and 6 small dragons left. But the thing is, I need Gauss Blaster Green, and for some reason it's sold out everywhere. Even tried ordering it on GWs official homepage, but it's not available. I can still make progress on my small dragons, but I need that Gauss Blaster Green to finish the medium dragon and the small ones later on.>>98849900Believe it or not, Wodan was never me.>>98849903And you rightfully should be. It's going to be the absolute best lewd fantasy isekai CYOA ever.
>>98849941One of them is not like the others lmao
>>98849958Yeah, Tankista is great but only Outer Reincarnation deserves recognition
>>98849958Don't mock them. I'm sure Dragonfall has a lot of meaning to this anon.
>>98849146It definitely needs it, a lot of the sins either have nonsensical eyes or eyes that should be in other sins. The power balance between eyes is also kind of completely lacking. You could definitely do better, I believe in you.
>>98849941New authors have too low an attention span to commit to making a CYOA, and they have too little discipline to finish any CYOAs they have started. This is a generational problem, caused by excessive mobile phone usage.
>>98849900He has an abundance of DISCIPLINE
>>98847827I feel like there are a lot of Phase powers that don't really get used
>>98849705He said he's planning on releasing redux, echoes:psi, psi academy or whatever it was called alon with some other bs no one cares about at the same timeHe was probably smote for his hubris
>>98847827Opinion on putting Elemental Conductor on an Heavenly Instrument ?On one hand a blade made of gamma energy sounds good, on the other hand the boosting flow techniques like Reified Champion or Conduction Form might make the material of the weapon irrelevent, might actually be better to have a normal blade since Heaving Stone might not boost a blade made from conduction as much if at all.
>>98848189maybe you should start paying people to find things for you
>>98850200Elemental conductor is bad because it means splitting yourself between conductions and weapon powers when you would instead rather have one or the other. It's just not worth it and there are better weapon traits.
>>98850200Presumably the advantage is it lets you shapeshift your weapon at will. Also I feel like infusing your weapon with a conduction would be inherently less 'efficient' than just having your weapon BE that conduction.
>>98850200Its hard to like Elemental conductor. I'm not paying 5 ap for a legendary handle. It could have its uses trying to fit a cheaper weapon into a tight budget maybe?
>>98850200If conductions were better than giga weapons why would I need the weapon?
It took me a combined nine and a half hours over the last four days of scraping the outermost bounds of pinterest, but I finally found a suitable clown image for anon's request. I then had to edit it for his big breast stipulation, but I am somewhat satisfied with the result. Now I can continue my work. Thank fuck. I was starting to go insane and my pinterest is trying to show me some bizarre fetish art by now, but that means nothing. What do you authors do when you have a super niche concept that needs a super niche image?
>>98850200It'll be niche and your build will be point-starved, but you get the ability to channel conductions through your weapon to apply all your weaon-traits and wespon-links to them.Now read thst last bit again.It's a way to apply All your Weapon Traits and Weapon Links to your conductions.Imagine for a moment what you can do by applying Collapsing Star to all your elemental conduction, attacks, constructs, entities, etc.
>>98850337I'm not him but thank you because I too will enjoy the very busty clown.
>>98848815>come pass the time with the old cyoa we've been obsessively discussing for over a monthI don't like to be mean, but seriously, just fuck off with that shit already.
>>98849146Make a new cyoa insteadRemasters are a pointless waste of time
>>98850353Thats very clearly not how it works but good one bro.
>>98850353Its applying conductions to your weapon not weapon to conductions.
>>98850375Anon, look at how conductions work again. If an elemental conductor weapon is a projection of you conduction element, being in conduction mode lets you freely shape it.You're essentially using the handle like a harry-potter wand to chanel all your conduction effects through so that they all project from your heavenly instrument as a part of it.
>>98849705dead and buried
>>98850353nta but it could work to add series techniques and the like to your weapon. So you could add Entitiy and now your sword is a dude.
>>98850393No, applying conduction to you weapon is special series: immersionElemental conductor gives you a light-saber that makes a projection made of your conductions. In a conduction mode, you can bend, expand, and control that projection however you want.
>>98849903Yeah me too, I love good old tok floppa crash out
>>98850405>You're essentially using the handle like a harry-potter wand>>98850423>Elemental conductor gives you a light-saber You're a Jedi Harry!
>>98850405No you're not. It only becomes your weapon, not a whole ass conduction thing retard.

>>98850441Anon, read conduction mode. You're able to control and change the shspe of any of your conductions.Control and change the shape of the weapon.
>>98847827>>98850200What would be better, a weapon made with Omnipotent Syncronicity or one refined with Heaving Stone&Molten Iron and boosted by flow techniques like Conduction Form (no idea if the flow techniques would boost the the former) ?
>>98850454You get a lightsaber not a wand. You get to shape your conduction into your weapon, not apply weapon traits to any of your random conduction bullshit. Readlet.
>>98850457Why not both?
You can completely combine the weapon and conduction sides of flow because your conductions can be you and you can be your conductions and your weapon can be you and you can be your weapon.
>>98850454You're not conducting normally you're using a weapon trait to make the exact shape of your weapon out of your conductions. You don't get to amorph it.
>>98850459Anon, use the force on the lightsaber beam to change it's shape.
>>98850464Conduction modes let you control any expressions of your element in the evironment. If you have srismic sea and arr at the ocean, you can just use the ocean instead of making your own water. Just wsterbend the water sword.
waldo ;_;
>>98850475gilu ;-;
>>98850472>Just wsterbend the water sword.The fact this is so hard for anon to grasp is hilarious.You can tell they keep thinking you're saying having the weapon just automatically applies all weapon traits to all your conductions instead of using the weapon like a fire-hose.
>>98850472You're not using conduction mode, you're using a weapon trait to shape a conduction into the exact shape of your weapon. You don't get to morph it, you get a lightsaber made of grass or whatever. If you want real conduction you do it not through a weapon trait.What you're describing is taking a stick and then wrapping your conductions around it which doesn't apply your weapon traits to it, you're channeling your conduction into a weapon trait to give your sword your conduction, not your conductions your sword.
>>98850480NTA but both of those are exactly what anon is saying and he's wrong.
>>98850480Those are both the same thing in anons eyes which are both wrong.
>>98850460Both ? Turning your weapon's material into a conduction and back again?
>>98850482You're not very smart are you anon?Let me explain slowly with seismic sea since your IQ is clearly brown.1. Have Seismic Sea Conduction. This lets you make water and waterbend water you didn't make.2. Have Elemental Conduction. You now have a water sword.3. Use Seismic Sea to bend the wster of the water sword.4. The water of the water sword is still part of your sword.
>>98850480The intent of elemental conductor after reading it is very clearly that you don't get to just shoot out conductions willy nilly from it and its purely for making a lightsaber that can benefit from your conduction bonuses and weird effects not to shoot off conduction lasers that get majestic weapon injection and stuff.
>>98850500What you're not understanding is you cant do number three because its a weapon trait not your conduction.
>>98850500>3. Use Seismic Sea to bend the wster of the water sword.This is where you're wrong, you cannot control it like that.
>>98850487>>98850488>Those are both the same thingWow, we definitely have morr 80 IQ anon than I previoudly thought.
>>98850501Who gives a shit about intent? I only care about what's actuslly written in the cyoa.
>>98850500>>98850501
>>98850514As written it is very clear you don't grt to morph it or conduct through it to get your weapon traits to your conductions. You are simply an idiot, go cry to pca in the redditcord so he can tell you you're wrong.
>>98850509Whether it's your conduction DOES MATTER.Vonduction mode lets you bend any expression of that element, not just the ones you create.
>>98850514badfaithanon...
>>98850520ngl I think you might be right but pca was gassing up flow recently so I think if someone asked he'd instantly cave
>>98850522>DOES MATTER.Doesn't matter, fuck autocorrect
>>98850522Oh this anon does not know how conductions work. I see. No, you explicitly can only control things that you conduct by creating it in conductions.
>>98850501>>98850510>>98850526>>98850522you have the means to do this even if your conduction mode doesn't do it natively, it's called conduction series: recompose
>>98850522You're right it does matter. You can only conduct things that you create with your conductions explicitly. You don't get to just grab your element out of nowhere without special means.
>>98850537>>98850535
>>98850535So you break your weapon by breaking its own trait and therefore it doesn't work and we're back to this analogy >>98850482
>>98850538>>98850539
PCA would clap at this guy using flow this way.
>>98850535Thats not your weapon trait then and does not give you weapon alterations anymore.
>>98850539>>98850543>>98850546it doesn't say you break the trait anywhere, it doesn't even mention you kill living beings you conduct, it would come up if it were importanteven if it did break the trait, you'd just combine it with reified champion or something and it wouldn't, you guys are making up problems where they don't exist
>>98850545Just like he clapped at anons saying they didn't have spirit weaknesses as a universal sovereign, how they thought they could force people into devil deals, and how anons thought EWA gave them infinite aura? Yea i'm sure he would clap you should go ask him :)
>>98850548You cannot conduct through an elemental weapon trait, its that simple and you're not understanding it for some reason.
>>98850553you can conduct your own body, so if you make your weapon into part of your body, you can conduct it
>>98850548>it doesn't say you break the trait anywhere>changing a material into your conducted state isn't breaking it from what it was beforeRetard.
I ask PCA. T Minus a million years until he answers I guess.
>>98850557yes, just like changing your arm isn't breaking it, it still possesses all the traits of your arm
>>98850556>reified is conducting your own body now
Wronganon really trying to bait pca into correcting him for the 18th time
Dread it. Run from it. SC discussion still arrives.
>>98850563in combos with ewa and heavenly instrument, yeah, it isonly reason you're arguing against this is you haven't read all the flow abilities and considered how they combine
least retarded flowfag trying to justify why his shit affinity isn't the worst.
>>98850575Flow is the mental gymnastics affinity you have to excusr them for their headcanon.
holy
>>98850575Core is right there.
>>98850575I've seen flowfags argue that max conductions can go anywhere from being total shit street level to being city destroyers they just really are that stupid because their affinity is slightly vague.
>>98850586they combo together so both are true depending on the rest of the build
>>98850586I've always though of meteor drive as a good analogy to conduction states. At lower levels its probably normal supernatural states but at max it makes even comparably weak people pretty damn strong but for 99.99999999999999% of people using them they can't even reach max conduction and the people that can need to be sparing due to how high the aura cost is and how much it drains you over time.
>>98850586Aren't they explicitly like building level?
>>98850575no bro you don't get it after I combine 10 abilities and devote 50 aura you'll be sorry
If the weapon is a heavenly instrument, you might be able to make anons combo work by abusing the fact the weapon counts as your body.
>>98850575Flow's always been great.
>>98850615in non-comboed form, yeah, but it gets very different with a conduction-focused build that will have 5 to 10 conductions at max running at the same time
>>98850616And then the corenog with half that activates his martial arts and physical enhancers and hits them like garps galaxy punch in OP.
Do anons remember the original question is about the usefulness of the weapon trait on an heavenly instrument when heaving stone exist and flow have other techniques to boost your body/instrument with your conduction ?
>AND CAN BE MANIPULATED IF YOU HAVE THE TECHNIQUES FOR ITAnons are actually illiterate. Flowanon is 100% correct.
>>98850640>Do anons remembernope, they didn't read the flow parts of the cyoa at all
>>98850643If you have the techniques for it is very clearly indicsting something other than just a conduction mode desu.
You’ve all got PCA’s balls’ stank on your faces FUCK OFF YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKS Jesus Christ can you talk about ANYTHING ELSEYOU SUCKThis place SUCKS now
>>98850643>Anons are actually illiterate.LMAO. Get FUCKED wronganons, I WAS RIGHT!
>>98850643What this anom said >>98850653
>>98850654>An Anon was proven retarded>Suddenly an Anon Immediately dtarts crashing out about not wanting to talk about SCI'm noticing.
>>98850653yes, it's primarily indicating conductions since this is elemental conduction after all, but it's also allowing room for other techniques that could manipulate a weapon too if you want to do that
>>98850653>>98850661The reading comprehension devil is desperate today.
>>98850664Its clearly not, pca will answer soon anyways.
>>98850369>t. couldn't understand kino
>>98850671I'm in total suspence as to whether you can give yourself total indestructability with a 1 ap point release technique
>>98850654pca’s balls smell amazing thank you very much
>>98850678You cant obviously
what's even the point of cyoas if the authors won't reply to my questions for years after the cyoa was published?
>>98850698enjoy making your build anon :)
>>98847827Can Weapon Link-Heaving Stone&Molten Iron improve the on and off blade made of who knows what of Elemental Conductor ?If yes, great, no need to spend aura on Immersion, knowing and stacking enough conductions might even made the weapon better than using Majestic Weapon Injection would.
>>98850708>Can Weapon Link-Heaving Stone&Molten Iron improve the on and off blade made of who knows what of Elemental Conductor ?Why wouldn't it?
>>98850698You're supposed to use your imagination
PCA if I put a Male Faithful Soul in my Elemental Conductor but use Twisted Flesh Conduction to make a weapon womb can I breed him?
>>98850720based femboy enjoyer
>>98850720Yes.
>>98850678You could already use one of the weapon links that make your weapon indestructible with full-cover armor as the "weapon". This is just more of the same.
>>98850717No. You're supposed to narrate my adventure.
>>98850772Just get AI to do it
>>98850716Why not indeed, I'm not sure why I have a problem seeing it, it's magic already, no reason it cannot just give a +5 sharpness to the weapon without caring if it's made of iron, acid or fireworks.
>>98850774i tried that once, it was completely retarded about it
>>98850793No difference with the average author then
>>98847827Tactics (Legendary) is so good
>>98850739PCA can I apply Weapon Links to my Astronaut Suit???
>>98850739>full-cover armor as the "weapon"Can you even do that?
>>98850812Armor is a type of weapon in the weapon section. There's no indication that you're not allowed to use weapon links on the thing, especially when weapon traits are already explicitly meant for it.
>>98850821Armor getting weapon traits was just laziness and so is reshaping weapons with Heaving Stone
>>98850904Then you can use weapon links and traits on your armor in a lazy CYOA.
>>98850920Weapon Links are not weapon traits
>>98850930Okay?
>>98850821Sure, that makes sense
>>98847827Thoughts on the Core shapeshifting powers? No one really uses them except the occasional kaiju build.
>>98850920Ok every street level mook is in a leather skinsuit with Eternal Loyalty which really should have been mentioned weird
>>98850955I like them. I used inhuman evolution for an interesting four-form build. Mythic beast is cool too. I tried using the heavenly ladle and earthly fiends in the same build and it's interesting too, but not as strong as the previous two. I don't like relative form or the two permanent monster transformations.>>98850969Nah, just give all of them legend statuses by that logic.
>>98850972Yeah man the g1 1 ap is just like legend status
>>98850972>two permanent monster transformations.I think these are quite strong and pretty underrated.
>>98850988Sure, but I don't like how they work. I might consider them in a mind splitting build so dragon me can sleep most of the time or something instead of wasting time on the chrysalis, but not outside of circumstances like that.
>>98850983I was thinking of the collapsing star, eternal loyalty would result in you dying inside the armor pretty fast unless you have more defensive abilities, meanwhile collapsing star would defend you.Or, if you don't like any of this, you can just take traits like reflection.
>>98851008Ok even g0 flows get to have a 3ep reflection skinsuit very good
>>98851017Yep. Complain to PCA if you don't like it. Ask him about this directly if it bothers you so much. I doubt he'll answer though.
Between this and Butchery I get the sense anons overestimate how common weapon traits are
>>98851026They really do.
>>98851025Ok so either everything is completely broken or armor doesnt get weapon traits... this is a hard one...
>>98851026Butchery only matters for something already powerful. Not Basic creations
>>98850643I know this is your way of telling me that I was wrong and I don't find it very funny. Maybe you won't find it funny anymore as I let everyone else know. I am not afraid of you anymore and I have nothing else to lose you fuckwit
>>98851044Make full use of your headcanon if it makes your build more enjoyable, anon.
>>98851026No you don't understand weapon traits definitely work on armor which means even g1 flow mooks have unlimited armor and and and beloved name blessing is definitely something everyone knows and applies op super unbeatable weapon traits to their weapons and and and if you start with any nemesis that faction is going to drop everything to come and beat you raja danav himself is coming to peg you out of spawn if you take trigram as a nemesis and and and all factions have crack assassins and people with shinigami of the fog who will insantly kill you and and and
>>98849298Btw, the android Yui is breedable in Demon Eyes?
>>98851053Is this kindergarten or something?>>98851058Ask PCA instead of being butthurt.
>>98851059Yeah, she's got a fully functioning womb
>>98851062>ask pca for incredibly obvious answersNo.
This has an easy solution. Armor can have weapon traits but armor has different pieces in the set and only 1 piece will be affected.Want to make your chestplate unbreakable? You have the rest of your body vulnerable.And several ways of damaging will still go through. For example, good luck stopping the pushing power of a punch from making your chestplate cave your chest in. Several blunt techniques deal in vibrations and passing through defenses.
>>98851066Enjoy your headcanon that directly contradicts the CYOA, then.
>>98851065idk if you are the author but based if whatever organization that made her made her have a womb
>>98851071It does not actually, autistic socially stunted anons just can't understand nuance in text.
>>98851076Nta but she's clearly the surrogate daughter of some ultrarich dude, possibly even the head of the letters organization himself, made to replace his dead one, of course he's gonna make her as realistic as possible.Or, according to the other interpretation of the whole cyoa, she's just an autistic girl with a very sheltered upbringing, so she was always real from the start.
>>98851062Refer to>>98851053
I remember when I first started playing cyoas like 10 years agoNow I can't even get boners anymore
>>98851090I don't know where you got that from but then the father must really want grandkids, I wonder how it would work if its like that>spoilerI dont buy it. There are several parts of the cyoa that are unspeakable with that view of it. Its just chuuni secret magical societies, like jjk. You dont need Yuji to be a grieving teenager in a hospital hallucinating all jjk.
>>98851070>This has an easy solution. Armor can have weapon traits but armor has different pieces in the set and only 1 piece will be affected.That doesn't solve the problem. You can just get multiple pieces of armor. Even if you make it like 6 pieces, it barely changes anything. >And several ways of damaging will still go through.Against eternal loyalty, kind of. The reflection and redirection traits? It's even more iffy with those. It does absolutely nothing against collapsing star though. So the basic problem remains.>>98851077Inventing a rule out of literally nothing is not nuance. It's what you'd call homebrew, or a fan balance patch, or a mod. It's headcanon. That doesn't mean your headcanon is invalid, enjoy it if you want. Deal with the fact the CYOA itself doesn't contain it though.>>98851091I'm not that guy.
>>98851054Nta but PCA's rulings are spiteful and retarded anyway, so I don't know why anyone would follow them. We all know he hates the cyoa, of course he's fucking over the players on purpouse.
>>98851101>proving himself as the socially stunted anonPottery
>>98851102>Nta but PCA's rulings are spiteful and retarded anyway, so I don't know why anyone would follow them.I'm not using headcanon in a disparaging way. Just headcanon it and enjoy the CYOA.
>>98851101>>98851110This fixation on headcanon when the cyoa itself has no rulings against it makes me think this guy is PCA.
>>98851115PCA would probably be too embarrassed to talk about this.
>>98851101>. Even if you make it like 6 pieces, it barely changes anything.It does change everything. As those weapon links only can be used on 1 "weapon"> The reflection and redirection traits? not invincible, only strong defenses. So I dont see the problem>It does absolutely nothing against collapsing star thoughother ways can be searched and again, its only 1 "weapon" if you divide the armor in 6, only 1 will have that
>>98851124Keep in mind the precursor conversation where people used flow to give weapon links to their own body.
>>98851135Also wrong
>>98851138The CYOA allows it. Headcanon it away to be impossible just like you headcanoned armor into needing to be multiple pieces and then coped about traits.
>>98851145Not the same anon, you're just wrong and I don't need to headcanon anything.
>urn of the dead into indestructible weaponwaow this is hard
>>98851154>opens the urn because its an... urn
>>98851099>I don't know where you got that from but then the father must really want grandkids, I wonder how it would work if its like thatThe name of the company she's from, it's a recurring thing in his cyoas. Cynosure is the same name as the one in Doll Waifu, the concept is the same. There are also a couple more hints in the items and foes I think, but it's been a while.>I dont buy it.Good for you then. Honestly I hate that interpretation as well, it makes everything feel meaningless in the cyoa. But the author does love his hidden lore and twist realizations at the end, and everything makes a surprising amount of sense from that perspective. There are a few things that are hard to explain in that case, but there may be an even bigger secret behind it that explains those, which would bring it back around to being interesting. Like why are there so many secret agents around the school?But in the end I also prefer the simple interpretation of the kids having real powers and the world being strange.
>>98851151It's the same problem. When a CYOA isn't perfect, your patches are still headcanon. Deal with it.
>>98851124Reflection says it "avoids making an impact directly" so how are you destroying it?
>>98851157>doesn't read the textwaow this is easy>>98851163indirectly of course!
>>98850955If you're going all in on Core, then they're amazing. Effloressence of Monstrosity and Living World Refolding stack exponentially off each other.World Refolding density layers will scale with the fact you're starting at 10,000 pounds.
>>98851161More like you thinking you've invented an auto win strategy is completely unsupported by the material and headcanon social autism kun :)
>>98851179I'm not taking it in any of my builds because I think it's retarded and therefore headcanon it away. You meanwhile refuse to do so and are getting angry over it. Have fun with that.
>>98851158>The name of the company she's from, it's a recurring thing in his cyoasI see. Thanks for the info. I guess she is one of those lifelike dolls with synthetic skin. So she feels human and can cry and bleed. I dont know if she is able to have kids but now its a possibility>Honestly I hate that interpretation as well, it makes everything feel meaningless in the cyoa. But the author does love his hidden lore and twist realizations at the end, and everything makes a surprising amount of sense from that perspectiveEh, as much sense again as Yuji being a grieving teenager that made up all jjk in an internal fight to find meaning in his life without his grandpa. Even more when Sukuna is confirmed as the spiritual twin of his grandpa so you could say he hallucionated an evil version of his grandpa blaming him or something.There are adults, aliens, people dying, yakuza, ghosts, androids etc... that simply can't be explained with kids being just chuuni. At that point you have to think its literally just everything but Setsuko that is imagination or something. And at that point you can do that with every cyoa.>But in the end I also prefer the simple interpretation of the kids having real powers and the world being strange.makes the most sense.
>>98851099>JJKYou just reminded me of something.>>98848947It's time to make a build with this. I'm making a list of all the cyoas where this is very useful.
>>98851177>Effloressence of Monstrosity and Living World Refolding stack exponentially off each other.How do they stack exponentially?
>>98851183Not angry, just calling you retarded for being a retard.
>>98851211Bigger Body = bigger density layer. Bigger = HeavierHeavy Layers don't decrease speed cause magic, meaning more force with every movement.
>>98851166>waow this is easyTell me the part of the Urn of dead that says you are not allowed to just open it.>>98851163AOE attacks as the own trait says. Reflection makes the force of the attack go to other side, an attack from all sides can't be countered that way.Celestial AlignmentAny conductionConvolutionPolarity FluctuationTo name a few that would bypass it in some way or another
>>98851216>bigger density layer.Oh, I suppose that would be the case
>>98851217>Tell me the part of the Urn of dead that says you are not allowed to just open it.read the description, retard, it's not a literal urn, it can be any object you want, it doesn't need to have a lidwhy are you talking about shit you haven't read at all
>>98851231> it can be any object you wantit just says an object. Not any object. The soul has to enter.

>>98851199>I guess she is one of those lifelike dolls with synthetic skin. So she feels human and can cry and bleed. I dont know if she is able to have kids but now its a possibilityShe may even be just straight up one of the versions from the guy in that cyoa. The fact her company doesn't exist could be a hint to the fact that she's from another world. And there were many iterations of that one.In a world with literally everything in it I don't see why she wouldn't be able to. And even if she doesn't have that function now it could be added later. Magic and technology being combined is something you can even do yourself in the cyoa, you can give her a womb if she doesn't have it already with the right build.>There are adults, aliens, people dying, yakuza, ghosts, androids etc... that simply can't be explained with kids being just chuuni. At that point you have to think its literally just everything but Setsuko that is imagination or something. And at that point you can do that with every cyoa.I actually have a pretty logical explanaition for almost every single thing in the cyoa. As much as I hate it my brain just went in overdrive trying to find those, call it professional deformation. It's been a while so I would have to read it again, but I could make a list. But I doubt you care since you don't like that version.
>>98851026>>98851041I imagine it's like the situation with magmatic getting a new sect. Item traits are a lot better than 1AP, they're just cheap so that people might take them.
