Next verse, same as the first
>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 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 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
>Experiment #3
The 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

Nta. Do notice that the bad qualities in the G0 descriptions are all in vague terms and probability. You "may" be that, not you "are" that. That's because G0 covers all the way from the lack of those things to normal mortal world human average. So having G0 alchemy doesn't lock you into having 0 charm and being an idiot, you can just remain as you were.

I took ambivalent alteration for Signature Technique (Lens) and Overtime. Signature Technique Lens makes sure that the lenses are durable enough for enduring AOE's and auras for melee combat and also swiftly maneuverable for Time-Slipping Saber. Overtime (overseer) lets me take the Missing Persons Campaign, which fits perfectly into my fight against malignant spirits and cults. I also get enough EP to add Weighted Straps.

[Benevolent Alterations are straightforward. Malignant Alterations are thematically based on gaining novel foes to test myself against; given how much punishment the build will receive, an Eccentric love of battle will alleviate it a bit. Hellfire Debt can eventually be cleared by honestly serving the common folk as an Overseer.]

[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 useful for long fights.]


>New Sect:
Location: Anahata Precinct
Advantages: Fortress, Inconspicuous
Special Advantage: Secrets
[My sect will be a hidden dojo for training random nobodies and orphan street urchins into shounen protagonists, like a real mysterious mentor, with more legendary techniques than you can shake a stick at. It’ll have to be underground, probably based out of some run-down house on the outskirts of the Precinct.]

[Martial Arts and Core Techniques combine into a versatile combat style; virtually invincible against physical attacks from peers, while Phase Techniques allow for an almost perfect evasion against esoteric and defence-bypassing attacks.

It's an alright cyoa. I get being bothered about setting standards for yourself but Please don't leave
Better then spirit conscript anyway

Oh also, the following criticisms
In the game I think 1400 was mile, you have it as sprint
3 isn't enough traits. Drawbacks can't give traits
No one is every going to use a drawback to give more running styles, so it would have been better to set a trait the lets you use 3 or 4 (And the same for the other non stats)
(Once again, I had fun playing this, I just believe in critique as a useful form of feedback)

Explain to me why Yama is bad and how that same argument can't be used on Yudi.
>he is the king of hell!
People go to hell to get tortured, is not like he is giving you any benefits if you are evil
>he allies himself with the trigram!!
He has the trigram under his heel and they would likely be worse without him reigning them in
>he goes against Yudi and Yudi is the king of heaven!!
Yudi allies himself with the rich people of the city, that tend to be evil, meanwhile Yama allies with the poor and oppressed, thats why he is loved in those areas.

They are both gray, but if I had to say one of them is better than the other, Yama would be my choice.

Because we know they want power. Vuseba is all pro killing the rest of yokais except her offspring and dominating everything. We can guess the other 2 of the trigram think the same way.

But all 3 under Yama can't go doing civil wars on their own. Also, spirits and so entities are banned from going to the mortal world. That must have come from someone stronger and in a higher position than the trigram, as those 3 precisely took advantage of the mortal world to create their yokais.
We can say it was both Yudi and Yama.

> He’s throwing money to strong fighters like confetti so long as they join his mob of gangsters, assassins and brutes.
For the war when it starts. Doesn't disprove anything I said. Yama was always the underground one, but thats not my argument to why he is better, he being helpful and close to the lower caste is

I pick TOK, of course!

>T: Come back to life just once, ever.
Very symbolic effect for a Tok. Since I have already died once, a part of me died when my cousin died, and I was reborn, stronger, fiercer, and fearless. Free from the shackles of regret, life is short, and one should not concern oneself with unnecessary things like the thge opinions of others. The only important thing is you own happiness. Everything else can be damned.
>O: Barrier. Unbreakable force and immobile
It fits perfectly with my steeled resolve, flawless discipline, and unbreakable willpower. A Tok is a fortress free from all weakness and strong like a mountain.
>K: Invulnerable. No limit yet found.
Very thematic for me since I do have a limitless perseverance that has allowed me to outlive most CYOA authors. And the limitless part is nice since that would suggest invulnerability to aging too.

Cut out the quests at it will be all the better for it, I fucking hate quests in CYOAs.

So why are quests bad, you might ask? Well, it's because they railroaded quests by the author. A good CYOA should create a thought-provoking world setting with interesting characters in it that allow you to come up with your own goals and create your own goals. Do not force quests on the readers, just make a cool world and let us come up with our own quests.

It's similar to writing companions in a CYOA. Don't tell me a character is smart, capable, and a pervert. Tell a story that will lead me to that conclusion on my own, pic very realted.

Tropes and archetypes are timeless concepts that have been used in stories since the dawn of time. Using them is not a weakness, not using them is, however.
>>
>>98863199
>You have to repeat what other people do or you are weak
>creativity just died
You are not better than an AI bot just repeating what other people did.
You have the creativity of a smashed potato that was below average as a potato before it was smashed.
Truly creative people create new tropes other people will use, or develop an existing idea into something beyond it.
You are just unoriginal. Disgusting. Ew

>>98863208
I'm not saying all of your characters must be archetypes and be full with tropes. I'm saying that refusing to use archetypes and tropes will make your characters worse. Archetypes and tropes are powerful tools for making memorable and iconic characters.

A meme. Not a proper character. There is no work in fiction with her in it. There is no even an author. Thats like saying El Hermano from Dragon ball, a famous meme back in the day, is a character, no, its a meme.

Why do you need an external source to tell which opinions are right and which are wrong? Just look around you and form your own opinion. Literally all of the best and most famous book authors and storytellers use archetypes and tropes. So naturally, it is a logical conclusion to draw.

Vuseba 'immediately waged a bloody eugenic war against the offspring of other Spirits so that her spawn could dominate all of Mortal World' and only stopped when humans drove her out.

more like he is preventing any more civil wars by controlling the trigram. Without him, the trigram doesnt have a reason to not just start fighting and killing each other more directly.

Consider that they don't do that for the same reason Yama and Yudi don't go to war. Also the Six Finger Mafia will help the Overseers deal with the Hellions, and the Hellions are still actively trying to wipe out the other Yokai clans, so they are still clearly willing and able to fight each other when needed.

Even if you imagine some kind of near-scifi bunker that's maximally fortified against any eventualities where the people live 24/7 and the power supply etc is 100% proofed, practically speaking the society as a whole would have to redirect itself toward disaster relief efforts, reconstruction etc, and that includes redirecting the people and resources in projects of less immediate concern like AI development.

> 1. If you read the lore doc, Kofuko explicitly mentions that the aura burst will let you double the gains of his training.
>2. That means the more points you were able to get from his training, the more you get out of the aura burst.
>3. The way the aura burst works, you're getting those points from personal training done during the 108 hours/4 1/2 days of aura burst.
Conclusion: Since the length of the aura burst itself doesn't change, but the amount of training you get does, that must mean people who had more points to begin with must be learning faster.

I think it's been well established that anons don't read. They gloss over the part where Kofuko isn't just changing your physical talent when he's increasing affinities, he's literally rewiring your personality to make your soul more compatible with the affinity.
Core Gs don't do much unless you take "of the Heart" techniques.
Phase Gs make you more Driven and Committed.
Flow Gs make you more Perceptive and Intelligent.
Alchemy Gs make you more Creative and Charismatic.
At G3 gor all of them, you're basically a Determinator, Genius, Gigachad that embodies the best traits of humanity.

Anons are unable to accept their internal impermanence and so they grasp at the illusion of permanence of self.

My guy, look at the description of Phase G3 and then Oscilating Motion. The G3s basically start you halfway to achieving initiate status with zero training, only raw talent alone. If you add Legendary Acrobatics on top of Phae G3, you'd have a guy fighting at initiate level before learning Any techniques.

Definitely not but you can improve your initiate status by quite a lot with trainings.

>>98865347
The way i read it is whenever you nearly run out of mana, you will regenerate all the mana up to full due to the intense agony from low mana. It's an infinite loop. Planning to use it to cast paradox point with 95% of my mana, experience intense pain to regenerate all my mana, then use Thousand Silver Blade Reflection to double my paradox points, and do it again. Could solo Trigram and neg diff them probably

>>98865799

>>98865822
Neg diff is a hyperbole but I plan to join the Bloody Fog or have some companions protecting me while I do my infinite loop. Some other choices are taking special technique to make Perfect Perspective scale are scale with mana spent.

I mean you'd be frying the shit out of your aura system even if that'd work. I'm not sure using 95% of your reserves in an instant is advisable, and also it'd be strange that Pain would be heads and shoulders above every other recovery disposition. I don't think having sex with Love would instantly replenish all your reserves after a quickie, nor would getting absolutely sloshed with Alcohol. Same with taking a power nap with Sleep. It's not infinite scaling.

having 0.0001 aura left to regenerate until full isn't infinite scaling either but people act like you can regenerate billions of mana per second if you do it
>>
>>98866003
That seems like an entirely different issue and I personally don't care for fractional aura usages as there's not many techniques that would allow for its usage anyway.

You can just look at the companions who'd probably have pain recovery dispositions and see that they aren't learning more release techniques, so they must be generating aura at a comparable speed :)

It's definitely not like there are techniques that will reflect that attack right back at you even in Kofuko's selection, or that the cyoa made it clear the trigram all no-diff kick Kofuko's ass.
>>
>>98865799
>Could solo Trigram and neg diff them probably
Why do you even want to solo them
>>
>>98865978
No it supports a lot of looping, and again no matter what you're not getting more than a 50% to 100% boost MAX and that's with cultivation legend. You are not regenerating your entire pool in a few seconds because you're stupid enough to torture nexus yourself.
>>
>>98866041
Disposition isn't a percent regen boost, it's a flat rate.
This is defined in the pool size descriptions. Deep and Shallow pool regen explain that disposition cuts regen time by a few hours regardless of if your regen takes hours or days.
>>
>>98861730
You misspelled umamusume several times in both images, just FYI.

Including the CYOA title.
>>
>>98866060
They are not a flat rate, it is percentage based in all cases and scales based on how hard you indulge, but not nearly to the amount anon is thinking he can torment nexus himself to regenerate his whole pool by inflicting mind breaking agony on himself.
>>
>>98866026>>98866041
>>98865998
>>98865996
Ok, maybe maximum paradox is a bad combo. Assuming you can get to at least 100 mana woth training, how about just casting 10 mana paradox and duplicate with Thousand Blade Reflection? Thousand Blade only stack 10 times, which is 20 mana so 30 mana total. Surely this can be sustained infinitely. 1000 baseball size black holes isnt as impressive as 1000 building size ones but surely there is no defense agains this?

Or how about Perfect Perspective? Use it with Signature Technique so it has no cast time. Then walk around Youdo and turn 90% into your puppets. Then use your minions to kill all the Immortal Heart users
>>
>>98866065
>not nearly to the amount anon is thinking he can
It's always a reduction of a few hours, so if your regen rate is your whole pool in 2 hours...
>>
>>98866085
>but surely there is no defense agains this?
Basic weapon with Vortex and Weapon Link - Collapsing Star.
All off your attacks are negated and are now added together into an attack more powerful than everything you through out combined, at no aura cost to the defender.
>>
>>98866085
I mean, yeah sure that could work so you aren't fraying your aura system. Problem is getting said 100 reserve. Not only that, making sure your attack lands is far better than simply spamming because with just sacred and recovery disposition, you're not going to be regenerating to keep up with your expenditure. There's ways to get there but not only with 3 options.
>>
>>98866085
>Perfect Perspective?
Negated by the sense enhancement basic technique
>>
>>98866090
Collapsing Star isnt protecting against matter erasure. Paradox Points arent force or energy. It's a spatial anomaly

>>98866091
That's why i say with training. I read somewherr that the averave anon builds end up at 100 after reaching its potential. And I think regenerating 20-30% of your pool should be doable and doesn't require game breaking bug to achieve.
> landing
There is a phase martial art that ensure sure hit for projectile and cost like 4 devotion

Don't think it negate Perfect Perspective. It's a legendary tech after all

I think I know what you're talking about with the 100 aura, but it's not really an average people end up as. It's when you hit the soft cap, where further training won't see any fruitful gains. That still will take a long time to achieve.

As other anon said.
Yama + Yudi, obvious top 2.
Trigram, Vuseba, Raja and the pale oni one, top 3-4-5 and likely in that order if how succesful their clans are is relative to their strength.
Kofuko top 6, he is only in the trigram of powerscaling now because it only counts alive spirits, so the pale oni one doesn't count (lore pdf).
7-8-9-10 are in my eyes the leaders of the strongest factions. The blue oni twins are in theory the leaders of 2 of the most succesful factions, and they are admired by their strength, while the mafia has "dragons" known as some of the strongest fighters in the city and still below them.
Leader of the flow dynasty due to almost getting legend status the natural way and the leader of the six finger mafia for similar reasons as the twins.
But 7-8-9-10 are more speculatiom than anything else.
>>
>>98866157
How strong is Mai? She is a Sage in Yudi court but her build is terrible and weak
>>
>>98866157
and maybe the leaders of the majushin that turned into spirits. But one of them got killed by an assassin so I am not sure of his strength. The assassin must be great don't minsunderstand me, even 60 years after he is in theory still very strong even tho he is likely out of his prime, but he should cap below the leader of the ninokata. I doubt an assassin on his own surpassed the leader of the assassin faction. Is like thinking Teraba or some similar brute force fighter without a reason to be the best can defeat the leader of the jiahao in pure strength
>>
>>98866118
Wheel Turning Effigy, Yama/Yudi, Trigram, Kofuko, Majushin Spirits, Senguru leader
>>
>>98866165
Her build is very core focused, her main strength is being unkillable without certain techniques plus high durability plus high regeneration plus high strength.

Even if to the player she is not unbeatable, she is waaaaaay higher than basically almost everyone else. She is the magistrate everyone wants to kill, and nobody got her yet.
Viewing her from the player's view changes things but I doubt she is not so strong she could fight the leaders of several factions, even if she is not going to win she is making them make serious efforts.
For example, I doubt she can defeat the twins in a 1v1, but I doubt they would have it easy to kill her and would take a lot of time and serious effort.

For sure in the top 50 of the city, with potential for more but I don't know how much higher.

>>98866165
She's explicitly one of Youdou's strongest fighters
>>
>>98866113
>It's a legendary tech after all
Doesn't mean shit. Consumat Self Incarnation gets countered by Seismic Strike souls damage.
Most "Legendary" Techniques have a counter in the basic technique section. That's why frontloading legendaries makes shit builds, but anons can't read.
>>
>>98866113
>Collapsing Star isnt protecting against matter erasure
"ANY FORCE OR ENERGY"
Yes it does. It negates All attacks. What the attack is made of is irrelevant. You need to use a melee technique to get around it.

>That's why frontloading legendaries makes shit builds, but anons can't read.

>>
>>98866194
softie...
>>
>>98866197
Or she has something else. We don't actually know her full build.
>>
>>98866207
Given that the whole point of soul damage is to make people like Mai killable I seriously doubt it. The bar is just way lower than people seem to think it is.
>>
>>98866207
NTA while she definitely does have more techniques outside of whats given like all companions do her main gimmick is being physically super resilient and being a strong core fighter, its doubtful she has something to negate soul damage as it would tell us. Anons like to forget that people in setting don't have hyper optimized builds and agendas and that whatever infinite combo bullshit they think works doesn't.
>>
>>98866208
Soul Damage appears to usually not be a one shot (see Needle TPTS) so you still need to damage race against a Core great technique inventor
>>
>>98866226
Thr fact that mai is in her what, late 20s esrly 30s and not only knows legendary techniques but also completely invented a new great technique is the biggest btfo to anons thinking you need to spend year learning shitty basic techniques. Assuming noriko and people like yomi and ming yue didn't already.
>>
>>98866181
Paradox points literally aren’t any of that. The description just says it’s a spatial incongruity and that it erases matter.

Now this is even more nonsensical. Melee is literal force transfer. Collapsing star even says it absorbed blade incisions.

I am pretty sure Phase doesn’t manipulate gravity like a force. They just curve space to make objects move in a certain way. My interpretation is that they make themselves the center of the universe and change the spatial axis/coordinate to redirect force in the direction they want. Gravity is just object moving through curved space

Summary.

In short, I'm a close-midrange skirmisher thats good at ambushes, hit and run attacks, with a focus on supporting allies in direct combat or finding useful items for them.

My main risks are spirits, which are attracted to me for two reasons. Both being delicious and attractive, I try to leverage these in my deals with spirits.

For any other anon characters that run into me, probably would end up helping me deal with overseers, who are against me because of Junko, or helping me with spirits.

They would likely be rewarded with either items or techniques.

A secret goal of mine is to end the era of Trigram, weakening the spirits that try to prey upon me.

It's also a really weird thing to inspire a non-canon physique. True human is good, better than grabbing a canon extreme physique, but having an extreme physique is in general of dubious value. The way Sovereign Immortal is written it could be either a death sentence or obscenely overpowered. A rank 1 Sovereign Immortal Fetus should not actually be capable of creating a body, and even if you got a rank 1 gu master body with the advantages of the gu, you couldn't have a vital gu, and you would have to as a rank 1 go around somehow consuming the apertures of other people, which isn't something that can really be done at rank 1. If the only actual downside of the body was the non-conflicting dao marks though, as the others, such as effectively needing to feed the gu, are not stated, it would be incredibly overpowered, but still not quite as strong as Heavenly Overlord.

Extremely easy With the right hidden combo.

>>98866945
What's so impossible about it? This kind of cyoas tends to give rather OP shit even by xianxia MC standards.
>>
>>98867030
I was just saying that functionally the option costs more than it states, you don't really need that combo. I mean so long as someone has a minimum of master level attainment in heaven's path they should be able to figure out a way to refine the dao marks eventually. So it isn't a huge price, but without that someone could be functionally stuck without a way to advance.

And here's my generated nemesis

Personality:
She is a Top-Tier Beauty with many suitors. Extremely skilful manipulator, supported by immortal relatives and her many friends and admirers. While not short on combat power, her instinctive approach will be to entangle you in schemes and political problems before delivering the coup de grace personally. Of course, her pawns will back her up.
Perks:
Bai Ning Bing Aspect (bloodthirsty)
Star Constellation (thinks faster)
Primordial Origin Aspect (super lifespan+rich)
Second Aperture
Red Lotus Aspect (always rebirths with SAC)
Flawless (no backlash)
Genesis Lotus Aspect (cheaper methods)
Hidden Danger

Attainment:
Great Grandmaster and potential Supreme Grandmaster in Information path

Special Nemesis Perk:
Path Founder – Myriad (creates clones of oneself for attritional combat power and strategic deception. Very difficult to kill a practitioner since they may transfer their gu worms to a clone on defeat – wisdom path is helpful in combatting this)
>>
>>98867111
>>98867115
Well, your nemesis is an absolute menace to you. Information path is tricky to deal with, even worse if the person has more contacts than you. That said if you conceal the nature of your aperture you could likely hold off any assault against you by surprising people with tribulations. Overall though I think its kind of up to luck, because you're starting out as an immortal, but without any support and so you're going to be in the dark against someone who has all the information except your own secrets.

>>98867040
You'd understand if you read the novel, it's the same as LoTM. You NEED author plot armor and absurd deus ex machinas to succeed in any way

Rank 8 combat strength as long as you have prep time
>>
>>98867312
By the time they are rank 6, they would be the ultimate turtle, likely able to casually hold off anyone but a venerable or someone who has Tao Zhu's inheritance and supreme immortal fetus. A bit lacking in offensive power, but should have no trouble building good relations around the world. If they went to Five Regional Mountain Range and collected Tao Zhu's inheritance, the only things to fear would be running out of lifespan, pissing off Heavenly Court, and anyone with the temperament of Spectral Soul reaching rank 9. Would be kind of weird though in that it would be likely that their power wouldn't meaningfully increase based upon their rank, such that from rank 6 until the peak of rank 8 advancing their cultivation would likely only speed up how quickly they could set up a formation.

I just noticed that the only inteligence boost in the whole cyoa is having Flow at high affinity. ANd maybe investigation training. Everything else doesn't make you smarter, it just gives you more knowledge.
It feels very strange, because Phase and Core have a bunch of techniques to boost the respective stats a lot more, but Flow doesn't. Same for Alchemy, it makes you more creative, not smarter, and then the techniques don't boost that any further. The initiate status for Flow is just raw aura, and for Alchemy is just blessings and curses. Not even the legend statuses boost those.
So being the smartest person in youdou is strangely cheap, and also limited.

There is only one that does that really. The others are a bit too magical.

Genuine question: does Resilience provide a benefit if you go all-in on Core? Especially if you already have a regenerating technique? Everything else it gives is kind of made redundant by that, and Phase G3 even already gives high resolve/willpower.
>>
>>98867884
>does Resilience provide a benefit if you go all-in on Core?
Not really. Some other alterations are also made obsolete by other things in the cyoa. Like Universal Sovereign with Lotus, even if you don't want to become a spirit there is a techique that ties your soul age to your phisical body so you don't age anymore with US. Or the Armory and Hevenly Instrument with enough Alchemy techs or Flow techs, you can just make a stronger weapon, even multiple, it just takes time and you don't start with it.

No, there's no techniques thst mak this obselete.
The main benefits of heavenly weapon are the natural talent with weapons it hit you with, enough to let you 1v1 technique users with no levels in Weaponry or Martial Arts, and that it lets techniques treat the wespon as your body, meaning techniques like Consumate Self Incarnation apply to the weapon and can apply the touch-attack strength drain to enemies through it.
The powers section of the cyoa cannot replicate all of that.

>>
>>98868173
>there's an argument for divergent being damage
Anon Read the cyoa. Divergent Lifestreams is reconfiguration, not damage.
That's the same reason people can re-learn their techniques just fine.
For visualization: replace "aura system" with "nerves". Using DL on someone's hand doesn't cut the nerves, it rewires them so things like the signal going to your pointer finger now goes to the pinky. You can still re-learn to move your hand, nothing was damaged, but it's not going to move the same way it did before.
>>
>>98868248
It is forceful wuju that damages you in the process of shoving around someones meridians. There's also the argument that someone could just rewire illumination away first so you lose it anyways.

It makes you good at the weapon(effect 1)

Cursing isn't a necessity, it's a workaround to reduce the aura cost of making shit. If you have enough aura you don't need to curse shit. And there are many ways to store aura externally so your own pool isn't even the limit. Just drain a small district worth of jobbers into a weapon and you have a Heavenly Instrument.
People here forget that someone made those things, so the tools to make them are there.

Well.the immunity comes from a technique a result of your aura system and divergent lifestreams disrupts the very system that is causing the effect.

You can do that in any cyoa. What you are doing is called being childish in the imagination game. I can do the same in any cyoa.

>>
>>98868585
Yeah within your genetic potential like if you have limitless meridians you can probably train up everything to g3 otherwise you are limited by your pools.
>>
I will explain affinities. Just like the trigram, there are two types.

Talent (genes)
Actual level

If you are born with G3 Phase, it just means your TALENT is that good that you will reach G3 if you put the effort. This is what gets passed on as genes. A limitless meridians guy is not going to have a kid and the baby automatically can break still because he got the talent for G3.

And then there is actual skill, which is kind of capped by your talent. We know, for example, that Futaba has G3 in alchemy because she got a technique that needs that level of alchemy. Thats her actual level in alchemy. When she was a baby she got the talent to reach that level but didn't reach it yet. A lot of training can let you reach a level above what you talent would apply, G2 in talent can technically reach G3 if they train a lot but they will always lag behind an actual G3 that also trains.
>>
>>98868577
>>98868579
>Affinities are not necessarily pure genetics, of course. Think of them more like talent. A person can train, practice, and achieve higher feats in a discipline, but there will always be the matter of their inborn aptitude… something that might always hinder them in the race to mastery. So too with Affinities. It’s very possible to go beyond your genetic
aptitude in Affinities, but you will always be at a disadvantage if you lack inherited gifts.

Your talent will still be G0 while using it. You will always be worse than a G3 talent.

years for basic techniques, but you can shorten it with prodigy, having a lot of aura available, having experience with similar techniques, etc.
>>
>>98868658
For the average aura user? A year or 2 according to WoG.
With higher potential, an affinity above the technique requirements, training in a related skill, having a similar technique already known, and any learning boosting Alterations makes that time much shorter.

Sure, but Affinity still give you inborn aptitude.
Affinity is a perk that gives you a list of stat boosts. Aptitude is one of those stats. Training aptitude won't give you higher affinity perks nor will it give you a natural aptitude bonus, but a high affinity gives natural aptitude.

By increasing your affinity. That's the whole thing. PCA even straigght up said that's how it's meant to work. 'I'll note that you can't learn G3 techniques without being G3. You can BECOME G3 and thereby obtain the mastery necessary to learn them. An important distinction.'

Anon, you contradicted yourself in this post.
If anyone can train affinities, why could only certain clan members use techniques?

>>98868843
Because training them is hard as shit
'Yes, that's about right. Going from G2 to G3 is possible, but extremely difficult for someone not born with it. Think of it like trying to become Mr. Olympia when you were born scrawny. Not an impossibility, but something that would require infinitely more effort for you than for Ronnie Coleman who's just genetically more tolerant of anabolic steroids.'

You're just assuming that, is the thing. Also how would that change anything? If you can learn techniques regardless of affinity then they can just do the same setting breaking bullshit as a G0.

PCA does a lot of things, but changing things to nerf people is very much not one of them. There's a reason he's so allergic to giving hard numbers for things. Hell the reason he barely changed SC during the update is because he didn't want to invalidate people's builds.

...please reread.
>>98869125
And why was it designed that way? You can't keep dodging the question forever (or I guess you can, but that'd be dumb).
>>
I think anon is asking why you can buy Limitless Meridians or Vast Generalist and then take all G0s, but a Shallow Generalist can't buy all G3s?
Still retarded though.
High Gs aren't just talent, they give give you superhuman abilities. A G3 Core literally has skin as strong as steel.
You can't buy G3 Core as a Shallow Generalist because your aura system is too Weak to power that superhuman attribute passively like G3 needs. It's like trying to power a data center off one AAA battery.
You can have an awesome Aura system with Vast Generalist and Limitless merudians, but still be a genetic failure with no innate superhuman abilities for that Aura System to power. Like having a nuclear power plant powering a light bulb.
>>
>>98869153
>And why was it designed that way?
to give structure to the player of the cyoa while they are making a build
>>
>>98869167
No, as in, 'why are there techniques you literally cannot buy without having a certain level of affinity'
>>98869185
And why did PCA choose this specific kind of structure?
>>
>>98869167
>Like having a nuclear power plant powering a light bulb.
A more accurate description is to say you are trying to connect a nuclear power plant to the city using rat eaten USB cables. Because that's what meridians are, they are your power channels. Having G0 means you have no channels or your cables are broken and leak power.
So the destination isn't important, you can try to power a lightbulb or a whole city, but the energy still can't pass properly. But you can learn to parch the cable with tape, which makes them slightly better, but never on the level of someone born with optic fiber instead.
>>
>>98869200
>And why did PCA choose this specific kind of structure?
because he thought it would be conductive to creating the sorts of builds he imagined
>>
>>98869207
And why did he not imagine builds being able to have techniques beyond their affinity?
>>
>>98869212
he did, that's why he said so in some wog
>>
>>98869212
NTA but isn't it reasonable to assume that the person who is giving us our techniques right out the gate is unable to do so due to requiring said affinities for the process to work?
>>
>>98869201
>>98869167
I mixed up power and data there at the end but you get the picture I'm trying to make here.
At the cost of starting a shitstorm, meridians are like Fate's magic circuits. Limitless Meridians affects quantity, as does having a Vast pool, while picking the affinities affects quality. You can have endless magic circuits, but if they are all shit then you can't use them, that's what the Limitless Meridian all G0 guy is.
>>
>>98869216
But the cyoa doesn't allow you to do that? You said the cyoas structure was 'conductive to creating the sorts of builds he imagined', and yet the cyoa's structure flatly does not allow you to take techniques beyond your affinity...
>>
>>98869200
>why are there techniques you literally cannot buy without having a certain level of affinity'

But why would that matter in this case? Surely if that's what was meant to be the case, the cyoa would just let you have the techniques but say that you'd be worse at them?

Perhaps could it be, like the guy literally said word for word, that you cannot do techniques beyond your affinity but can increase said affinity through training?
>>
>>98869282
no, existing possibilities in fluff don't have an obligation to be represented during buildmaking
>>
>>98869273
But why would the process require that? It doesn't say or imply that anywhere.

I feel like there is a very simple answer to all this but people are getting hung up on interpreting the lore doc in a very specific way.
>>
>>98869290
Who said anything about obligation? If the point is that you can learn techniques without actually being hard gated by affinities, why would a starting build be unable to do that?
>>
>>98869299
I don't think it's a stretch considering the WOG's about the nature of Kofuko-san's technique transfer, but even if its pure headcanon for that, you'd have to acknowledge that our default way of obtaining techniques is outside the norm and shouldn't be judged as the standard.

Outer Reincarnation consumed the thread for half a year, twice. This so far is negligible. Moreover, Spirit Conscript had its life cut short by the PDF hack, so this is only fair.

I don't really understand what the conclusion you've arrived at for Occam's Razor. Are you saying that its impossible to learn G3 techniques at this point if you don't have G3 affinity which is why you can't do it in the CYOA?

She asks you to transform one of your limbs into a six-pack of a long discontinued soda and then detach it so she can drink it again. Would you be offended by the request?
>>
>>98869689
I mean, is it painful? If it feels like cutting off a limb I'd probably refuse. If I can deaden my nerves and pull it like plucking a fruit off a tree, I dont see any reason not to oblige. I mean what would I use my shapeshifting powers for if not to indulge in requests like these.

>>98869689
she can drink it out of my cock
>>
>>98869689
>Would you be offended by the request?
No, I'd already be years into mass producing gold and advanced computer parts for wealth and gaming.
>>
>>98869689
If it was for my waifu I would do it, but it is a strange request
That's not the right kind of boyfriend soup for a girl to be drinking

We're in 5th place in the line for Oblivion anons! WOOOOOOOOO!

Thanks spirit constipation...
>>
>>98862007
it's more fun when you have think about what you want and what to drop, it uhhh highlights what is really important and what isn't.
>>
>>98862007
I don't think there's anything more overpowered than living god given that you can trivially get unlimited omnipotence in it.

Legend Status is clearly described to be the peak of Techniques, and they're only G3

I screwed up and accidentally turned Ranni's CYOA into a general ER CYOA where you don't technically have to become Ranni's vassal because you can choose missions that put you down the path of Golden Order fielty. Now I have do decide, either scrap everything and rewrite as an ER CYOA or cut content to narrow the scope back down to Ranni
11 pages now up to 16+
>>
>>98869846
Why do you have to pick one? Giving the option for players to miss the entire point of the cyoa isn't a bad thing.
>>
>>98869846
Write the 16+ pages anon
>>
>>98869855
But now I have to do even more work since the scope expanded and now it'll take even longer to finish.
>>
4th in Line from Oblivion! The End Is Nigh!
>>
>>98869846
bro i did all the missions in the game and i could still pick ranni, this is a good thing for your cyoa, don't scrap it
>>
>>98869858
Eternal curse of the cyoa author. You'll get inspired by something and give yourself 10 more pages of work regardless.
>>
>>98869858
Just do whatever you want to do. No one is going to complain if it takes too long to come out.
>>
>>98864175
distraction Nolgor so the guy sees it and goes OH FUCK I'M GONNA DIE and starts preparing to fight it meanwhile you infiltrate the REAL killer which is a Pseudopod being carried by a team of Shahubaths who strategically leave traps in a position that the Pseudopot will drag the target into

Making it into a Ranni vs Miquella CYOA is starting to sound interesting...
>>
>>98869869
I'll complain! GIVE ME MY OC!

The lowest of the low

here's your elden ring cyoa bro https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LAK55aD8F7HsKXZwRLBF5C9vXtsUzxJh
>>
>>98869846
Keep cooking i say!
But now the other elden ring cyoa might get finished before yours.

>>98869903

Imagine if this effort was put towards something fun

Status report on Voidsoul's ER OC?
>>
I haven't been very active recently, any good OC in the last month?
>>
>>98869935
No
>>
what if the reason there is no OC is because OC is not made but rather discovered? as in all OC already existed at the start of the universe and we must merely find it out there in the cosmos?
>>
>>98869936
:(
Anything thats not a pill picker or a jeeny, jeany, jenie, jeenee? Idk how to write it but you know what I mean.
>>
>>98869945
No

I like Spirit Conscription and had fun discussing it in this thread

Nothing new in ages as far as i know. Maybe he stopped with the updates once people stopped asking?

Wee woo WEE WOOOO

this is it anon, the end of /cyoag/
>>
>>98869992
>>98869987
I will make a new thread. Since Spirit Conscription is already stale, should we start with Entropist next thread? Or maybe Dragonfall?
>>
>>98869874
One of those is not a wife.

Great, now they'll talk about it again.
Try V1 entropist. Not V2.

>jeeny, jeany, jenie, jeenee?
You cannot be this retarded, this is a text based hobby. You couldn't have just heard it, you had to see it written down.
>>
>>98870023
zoomer literacy rate...

>>98870014
Cum goes inside both... that's enough wife criteria for me.
>>
>>98870037
But Miquella doesn't have an orifice specifically designed for a penis, though.
>>
Ranni... doesn't have any organs at all, though?
>>
>>98870041
anus
>>
>>98869846
Finish everything needed for a ranni cyoa and then start work on the greater parts
Or, more likely, bother with the ranni parts and only work on the wider parts that interest you until the ranni parts are done

I think
