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

OC, brand new. Page (1 / 9).Happy Halloween!It's about being a spooky, scary ghost. I'm tired and rushed to get something together before Halloween, so sorry in advance if it's a bit rough around the edges or plagued with typos.
>>98874837Which CYOAs would you like to run a campaign in? I've incorporated the idea of the Outer Reincarnation Goddesses into my homebrew setting (A sleeping/dead god and his two subordinates, one trapped and one roaming/hiding)

>>98875031I know its probably Beri but you never know
>>98875027I put a teeny tiny 'b' in the top right corner for 'beri'. Though I forgot to put it on any page after the first.
>>98874972ported it for easier viewing: https://imgchest.com/p/n87wkq2lq7x
>>98875033yes you do, you do know
>>98874972Have to sleep, will play tomorrow
>>98875020Thank you, beri.It's excellent.
>>98875068I look forward to reading your build if you post it. I'm tired myself and will probably sleep before I get a chance to ready any builds tonight.>>98875072Thank you! I'm glad you like it!>>98875030I had thought about adding an option to split between multiple types, but opted not to. I'm curious to which one you'll settle on.
>>98875113>I had thought about adding an option to split between multiple types, but opted not to.You should have done that.
>>98874972Ah, I love beri so so muchI am sleepy though. A build for this right after I finish my dreams
>>98874972yay!
>>98874972Beri!Nice seeing you again.
>>98875120The decision not to have that option was mostly a time constraint. If I do a version 1.1 or so, I'll probably add it.>>98875140I look forward to reading your build when you awaken!>>98875163I hope you enjoy it!>>98875196Thanks!I will head to sleep. I look forward to any builds that are posted for it by morning.

Post Luminary
Some old spooky CYOA from the days yore.

Idk>Powers-Tangibility (tier 2 adept)(2)-Audibility (tier 2 adept)(2)-Visibility (tier 2 adept)(2)-Anchoring (tier 3 master)(3)-Technokinesis (tier 3 master)(3)>Signature powersAnchorless>Banes-Immune: SunlightI like the sun in moderation. I enjoy night time too since it tends to be more quiet and cooler. As a ghost, i do not wish to be deprived of sunlight.-Weakness: waterJust as technology is averse to water. It must have strong resistance against water lest it get fried due to electrical shorting.I like modern technology, computers, cellphones. I can still enjoy nature, go outside, and enjoy grass, but i am mostly on my computer browsing the internet, listening to music, playing video games. I shall be an inventor ghost and make new tech. My main weapons would be hacking androids/ robots/ security systems, and high tech weaponry. The greatest magic of all is a gun, and if that don't work... use more gun. I shall be the famous internet shitposting ghost of the nether realms, OHOHOHOHOH!. I shall make art and make money.>anchorHuman(anchor 3)>favors-save lives-help the police-Reveal thyself???Not sure with the last one but mayhaps i can share my inventions?Anyway. I could not find a better ghost girl picture with computers

I love a good Beri CYOA, and I usually find myself making some kind of slime build to start

>>98875992 (me)forgot to post a bit of explanation (even if it's pretty clear), I like blessing people and being a support, I got vitality for restoration of life, willwell to fuel it, anchoring to get the shrine, which will give me more blessings (even if I would have liked something more mobile), technokinesis to empower technology (also it gives me a way to contact people) and farseeing to visit other planes. Originally wanted to be innocent, but soulfire gives me a willwell point, which I needed.
>>98874972> Body:>Innocent 3Andro shota, but I’m not aiming to be seen anyways so doesn’t matter too much.> Ectoplasm:>CyanGlow brightness responds to Awaken Object potential: no glow for completely inert, up to full flashlight for those that would awaken with anthro forms/supernatural powers.> Powers:>Willwell 3So I can nurture the objects and artifacts under my care 24/7, especially with clones.>Anchoring 3Just so I can inhabit the Ancient Ruins.>Flight 1For basic mobility, as well as moving objects around as I Embody them.>Embodiment 3So I can embrace every possible thing in the Ruins.>Splitsoul 2Since it doesn’t specify an upper limit of fragments and Willwell 3 says I can use any ability as much as I want, this means unlimited clones to not just fill every building and ruin, but give every object and artifact their own personal caretaker!> Signature Power:>Awaken ObjectIt will take a very long time, and I may have to awaken lesser objects to try and dissuade adventurers from taking too much, but eventually I will repopulate the Ancient city with items from the Ruins itself, creating an entire society of sapient, supernatural creatures with me as their sacred parent!
>>98876034> Banes:>Barriers (Weakness)As the entire city is my Anchor, no one can force me to abandon my children. Additionally, the ejection power is actually an upside, meaning if things get too hot for an adventuring party within one of the ruins, they have an option to instantly escape.>Holiness (Immune)Convenience more than anything, since most adventurers will likely have holy objects on them as a coverall precaution.>Discovery (Immune)I refuse to be removed from my home, or pulled from my children.>Otherwill (Immune to Exorcists)I doubt many exorcists will bother to come to the Ruins, but if they do, this is a nice precaution.> Anchor:>Arcane RuinsDue to once being a bustling, magical city, there has to be at least a few objects and artifacts well loved enough to awaken as supernatural beings from the get go - at least as long as Awakening potential doesn’t wane over significant time.> Favors:>Movie NightIn the early days, any companionship will be a godssend, and my Ruins can feed her as well. Also, in the rare case that a group of adventurers is very mean and rude I can use her more murdery tendencies to help the monsters drive them off.>Adopt PetsI’ll take ‘em all! The Ruins have plenty of room and I can create clones to take care of them, and perhaps with them being magical, more intelligent familiars, they can help cultivate my children...>To the TempleFairly basic task, why the hell not, it’ll be cool seeing other Realms.
>>98875251You can pick any sort of body type you want. The only one that is strongly gender coded is Enticing. Most images or other options are female characters, but that's just a matter of image availability.>>98875434Since you opted for Anchorless, you don't really need pick an Anchor. I see you've got all the means to just live a mostly normal life. Though as far as inventing goes, if you weren't dead-set on Anchorless, the Studio Factory Special Anchor would help, and free up for Signature Power to boost black ectoplasm that lets you conjure copies of digital devices. But understandable that Anchorless is important for a cozy life. Yeah, sharing good inventions is a great way to get good ghost PR for Reveal Thyself. I can see that going well. It's a good build.>>98875666Most of the CYOA was made while sleep deprived and juggling life responsibilities, but I did my best to at least get something made.>>98875781I'm glad you like the CYOA! Since you went for Potent Fadeplasm, I imagine you'll get a lot a company with out-of-body people floating around. And since you have Tangibility 3, you can make those ghosts temporarily solid again, albeit without their flesh bodies. That's a neat synergy I hadn't thought of when making it.>>98875908>two archetypesYeah, that's at the top of my list for an updated version. That and maybe a couple more power tiers.Water weakness is very fitting for a cat, as is completely ignoring you when you call their name. I like it.
>>98875992I plan on increasing the number of powers chosen slightly, so whenever I post the next version, you should be able to pick Innocent. I should also mention that short forays into other places of existence give you a temporary reprieve from needing to be at your Anchor. I'll add that to the extras on the last page. Having Sadako hang around with Technokinesis 3 is a good synergy, and the ghost pets would be a cute addition to the shrine.>>98876034That's a clever use of cyan ectoplasm. And using the Ancient Ruins to find storied objects is also a great idea. Splitsoul 2 with Willwell 3 isn't technically 'unlimited' clones, just enough that most use-cases won't be hindered. I mostly just specify this in case anyone wants to send clones out to occupy the entire world - your use case within what it lets you do, though. I like your plan to repopulate the ancient city with the objects left behind, though. That sounds really fun. And having Sadako to help with early defense is a good idea, too.
>>98876064>I plan on increasing the number of powers chosen slightly, so whenever I post the next version, you should be able to pick InnocentGood to know, even if I might end up postponing it in favor of something else (like dreambreaking) useful for helping out people (or maybe tangibility to even remotely exist, but who knows, originally tangibility was pretty high-priority in my build).>I should also mention that short forays into other places of existence give you a temporary reprieve from needing to be at your Anchor.I vaguely guessed it, but happy to see it confirmed.>Having Sadako hang around with Technokinesis 3 is a good synergy, and the ghost pets would be a cute addition to the shrineYeah, I decided to get a few people to keep company, even if I considered reveal thyself too (ended with avoiding that because I'm shy).I really considered anchor like demon queen castle (seemed comfy maybe sometime I will meet her, if she wants some blessing or gift, but won't be the same thing), the newbie exorcist (economic, mobile and would be good helping her out) or the twin katana (again mobile and seemed funny).Also noticed I forgot to put banes, if I update my build will correct that
>>98876057Do Mimics need Audiability or Tangibility 3 + their basic power is enough?Is it possible to resist Mimic 4 desire without much trouble or is it supposed to be a serious drawback?
>>98875020The perfect is the enemy of the good, you did a fine job. It's good to see you again Beri.>>98874972>Unknowable 3, Teal>Will well 3, Embodiment 3, Technokinesis 3, Splitsoul 3>Awaken Object, Water Weakness, Holiness Immunity, Object Anchor 0>Reform Angels, It Ain't Me, Fight the VoidI'm a large right now, one day I'll be factory floor of dancing machinery manned by gremlin-like animated objects. My ectoplasm is reversible universal glue, eventually I'll learn how to make it act as a lubricant as well, my essence running through all my Embodied machines as something more than blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid.Artefa/k/ts are as much fun to make as art. I don't care overmuch for furthering the state's monopoly on force but they have all the fun toys. I'll not be killing so much as equipping killers (while shamelessly pirating the milspec equipment In allowed to inhabit). The Angels and the Void are another matter. Many of my Awakened extensions / minions / children will be enchanted magitech Marvel's capable of opposing these worthy foes. By soul splitting I will become Legion and our chorus will be the sound of industry. Vid related:https://youtu.be/wEP66wE8RkU?is=raGYhAABAoRs8L9wSome drawbacks like a compulsion to haunt or pursue repetitive obsessions might be nice but then I'm a shameless minmaxxer who can't help but want to eke out further advantage.
>>98876116For the best Mimic Experience, you'll want Visibility, Audibility, and Tangibility 2. Having those at 3 is for going beyond human norms. Though Visibility 3 would be weird as Mimic, exuding an aura of... matching a person. I suppose it would make things around you appear more normal or match their interests. You can resist the Mimic 4 desire easily enough at first, but if you're the same person for a long time, the desire to replace them will grow, so just make sure you swap mimic targets frequently to give the ones you copy too much a break from forming an addiction.>>98876135I'm glad you like it!Neat, a power-building build for fighting the tough threats. Picking It Ain't Me for access to military tech is a good idea. The Studio Factory special anchor would be perfect for you, but you'd need a couple levels in Anchoring. When I raise the power tiers in thee next upgrade, you could probably squeeze it into your build.
>>98874972For now I read only the first page and I have a problem with the Archetypes. For some I like how they make you look but i don't like the powers, for others is the opposite, I like the powers they give but hate how they look. There is no "good" option for me, unless the powers can be turned off, there is only the least bad.
>>98876145True, I probably could have traded a level of Willwell for anchor 1 to get that but ah well. As you say with any drawbacks to spare points I'd certainly have sprung for it! (in terms of that if your taking suggestions things like recall / trauma trigger of your death and constant, involuntary micro-posession would also be interesting modifiers)I'll probably post "eternal overlooked janitor" and the Accursed Sea builds at some point but better to spread out the cyoa's engagement over a few threads rather than waterboard it with interest all at once imo.
>>98874972I wanna take ectoplasm colossus and be the fog of silent hill, but, like... why would anyone come to my freaky hospital???
>>98876176Not beri but healthcare duh. It can fix people up better than an actual doctor by the looks of it, that's very enticing.
>>98874908Which body refining would be good for fated shot doctrine and dharma weapon?
>>98876064>>98876094 (me)realized that soulfire only increases my will when I'm emotional, and I won't go enticing 3, the odds of me changing back increase.Does violet ectoplasm works without higher tiers in font?
>>98876159That was by design - I wanted power to come at the cost of physical form and vice versa. Do you think I leaned too hard into that dynamic then?>>98876161Since ghosts have required Banes, I'm hesitant to add a proper drawback section. So many options in the CYOA already have negative consequence. Mostly I was just thinking of rebalancing the number of power tiers by increasing it by 1 or 2. Those both seem like neat builds to read. I look forward to them!>>98876176Do you think a power option that allows you to lure people to your Anchor would help?
>>98876188With those things I have very powerful and very accurate attacks, stone titan ascent would give me defence, shadow spirit sutra would be fun and with machine trascendence manual I could add more guns to my body
>>98876057I am this >>98875434I never thought about the factory thingy. If i were to be tethered to the factory then i cannot leave to share my inventions or live a semi-normal life. Being stuck in a place for too long was one of the reasons for my mental breakdown. Whenever i make a build, i tend to read selectively and not read all the options. I just tend to think of a theme for a build and make a sort of archetype as i read the cyoa. If i already have a plan for a build then i just tend to skim the rest or look at the pictures, some or most options i skip to save timeI made a build for this >>98875290 in the past and i have not even read all the options even to this day. That must be the reason why i missed the factory option but hey i am anchorless so that means i can visit the factory yes?Will there also be a sort of power that allows you to not pick a weakness in the banes section? I think that could be cool. Perhaps it could be a special power Anyway, thank you for oc. If i wasn't the man i was, i would kiss you.
>>98874981>Want dreambreaking mostly so i can lolify targets while i mess with them>It's gonna cost me 3 points for it and 2 to get enough will to have enough juiceAw man this is rough...
>>98876202Violet ectoplasm does work without Ectoplasm Font, but you're limited in how much you can produce, which in turn limits the *size* of objects you can coat, as well as how often you can coat an object. You can slowly chip away at territory regardless, but a complete object like a care will require a larger singular dose of violet ectoplasm. However, at Tier 0 of Ectoplasm Font, you need to 'bleed' to produce any, so it'll leave you a little weak.>>98876209Yeah, I can definitely see about a Signature Power that absolves you of having a Weakness. That seems perfectly balanced.>>98876210I'm thinking of boosting the max power tiers by 2.
>>98876203>Do you think I leaned too hard into that dynamic then?Yes, very much so. If you wanted to do that you should have at least left a safe middle ground, a neutral form that is nothing special and gives no power. I can see that you tried to make the level 1 stuff less powerful, but most of it is way too exagerated even at level 1. You need either a safe alterative with no gain, or some way to pay a resource later to detach form from powers.
>>98876226bruh how is tier 1 innocent or tier 1 feral "too exaggerated"
>>98876203>Do you think a power option that allows you to lure people to your Anchor would help?I'm not sure more powers will help... I have to take anchoring 1 for the hospital, soulwarping 3 and ectoplasm font 3 for the colossus, and also at least willwell 1 because soulwarping requires will. And since I'm so big and visible, won't I need at least a little vitality or else I'll easily get exorcised? So that's already at least 8 points used up and I only have 4 left to actually be able to do something with...
