What do the different levels of arcane knowledge actually give? Spells? Rituals? Enchantment? Alchemy?

How does spell power work? Does higher spell power only give a higher limit on the output or does a higher spell power make magic stronger even while using the same amount of energy (which means it is basically an all around buff to magic)? How powerful are different levels of spell power (please provide examples with spells)?

How much energy do you actually have at different levels of energy pool (please provide examples with spells)? How does energy pool work in relation to spell power (assuming that spell power determines the limit of output and isn't basically an all around buff to magic)? Is energy pool 1:1 with spell power, in that a spell of the same level of spell power as energy pool would completely deplete it (which means that casting a spell of higher level than energy pool is impossible)? Or are they not 1:1 and the same energy pool level can support multiple castings of spells of the same spell power level - in which case, how many, and how much higher spell power level spell than energy pool level can be cast?

*What do the different levels of arcane knowledge actually give (asking about their differences)? What is arcane knowledge's content (i.e. does it give things like spells, rituals, enchantment, alchemy)?

How is the "cultivation of magic" done? Is it just meditation or are there other components? Are there levels to the cultivation of magic or does the subject's magic just keep becoming better indefinitely on a linear or exponential rate?

Liminal phrenic is our most esoteric author

I kinda want to use Monster Girls in a setting where they are like Demons from Shin Megami Tensei. They are archetypes made by the human concepts made real through metaphysics and you can recruit some to aid you, but the ones you recruit are individualized people and such. But the setting is more or less grounded in some way so death and wounds are/ is possible. But I know a lot of people tend to hate more hardcore style CYOAs and settings.

The other idea is some slice of life or community management thing, but a lot of people tend to find those boring and unengaging and it limits concepts/characters due to safeness of its nature. You can't have ninja-assassin batgirls in that type of work.

You guys got any advice or anything?

no monster boys :(

>>95998770
Monster boys would be hella gay
Monster BROS however…

>>95998801
Monster Bros sounds even more homoerotic.

>>95998747
I don't know what Chin Gigami Sensei is, but my advice in general is just ignore whinefags. They'll play the cyoa if it's good even if it's a bit "hardcore", just give the player enough tools for the job.

Is this the same as Energy Resistance? How much resistance is it?

>>95997517

Arcane Knowledge is explained in the image. It represents your knowledge of the Arcane on Xen, in a similar way that another skill might give you information on Herbs or Hunting on Xen. Higher Arcane Knowledge simply means you know more about the arcane. This could lead to spells not granted by the image, this could lead to an ancient city in ruins once known for its magic users and an ancient staff not available in the image. Arcane Knowledge, and what you'd do with it, is much like the paths near the end of the image. Something to image what you could do with more knowledge of the arcane.

Spell Power is explained in the image, and represents the average and peaks and valleys of human magical potential, with the potential to move slightly over them if your cap is increased.

The image is not a mechanical sheet for an RPG, numbers are used simply to convey the average, below average, above average, peak human, and post human range. Five being average, ten being peak human, a zero meaning inactive (SP for example). In the case of something like Strength it would suggest you were incapable of moving your own body, while zero constitution would suggest, essentially, death. The numbers are just a starting point for your imagination, not a mechanical system. I've never made balanced images, or images for min-maxers. The images, wholly, are to be played with your imagination, and let you go on your own little adventure in your mind from there.

>>95996660

Physical Resistance. It works the same way as ER, using similar representative numbers.

>>95996671

Because it's relays Arcane Knowledge to its wearer.

You don't really need more than one, but if you want to know more, having more than one is simply more knowledge of the Arcane on Xen.

>>95997074

No.

There are at least three reasons to take it, most notably the continued age stasis if desired and an equivalent isn't obtained elsewhere freeing up prior options.

>>96000064

Meant to be ER.

>>95997185 (OP)
>Path of Power
Does Sumire override Grim's inability to advance beyond his Spell Power and Energy Pool caps?

>>96000133

Grim's caps can be increased like any other. Grim's starting cap is simply lower than ten, and you're informed of this by being told what that starting cap is - this is meant to offset his inherent passive gain of several abilities over the years, noted later in the image set.

>>95999332

Stamina is the physical equivalent of EP. It doesn't need raised separately from another stat, however. It's equivalent to your constitution.

>>95999354

There are roughly a dozen, if not more, old Pulp Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery or mish mashed Science Fiction/Fantasy setting inspiring the whole thing. Animations are some, but not all of the inspiration. Some things aren't really used, and are more reference though. The image isn't ever set on Barsoom, for instance, but uses a Dejah Thoris visual to represent the Genie (while also conveying what decorative body ornaments mentioned elsewhere in the image might look like).

I know there are two Heavy Metal CYOAs. I made one, but someone made another after, and, quite frankly, it's quite a bit better than mine - though I don't know who made it.

>>95998472

Sorry, the four cone eyed one liked it best for some reason.

>>95999933

Itima, and the people they were ascended from, were not human. You, who encounter the stones second, may be, however.

That's all I have to say.

>>96000130
>The images, wholly, are to be played with your imagination, and let you go on your own little adventure in your mind from there.
But there's too little to go on. For physical stats, we have real life to reference, but we have nothing for magical ones. There needs to be concrete examples for any of the magic to be quantifiable.

Do we have any gundam cyoa's that are longer than 1-2 pages? I remember two that are that length but can't for the life of me recall if we have others.

>>96000212
>Do we have any gundam cyoa's that are longer than 1-2 pages
There's a four page NSFW waifu picker one. It's not really any more complex than the one-to-two pagers, though. The length is due solely to the number of female characters that have cropped up in the franchise.

Probably the closest thing we've got to an indepth Gundam cyoa is Eternal Arms. Maybe, maybe Power Armor, if you squint real hard and use the right assumptions.

>>96000176
>Itima, and the people they were ascended from, were not human. You, who encounter the stones second, may be, however.
Ooh! Mysterious! And (maybe) a hint of a new cyoa to come?

(We really need to get you and Cyrus together. I think it would result in a truly epic collaboration.)

If nothing goes wrong tomorrow Psychoslop will be released.

>>96000386
Out of nowhere, I am now excited. Nobody combines image selection and intricate powers like you do, PCA.

>>96000196

Examples are given in image, the genre is known. For examples of the genre I'd recommend:

Gandahar, Conan the Barbarian, The Barbarians, Star Chaser: The Legend of Orin, Masters of the Universe, He-Man (80s or 2002), She-Ra (80s), Red Sonja, Thundarr the Barbarian, The Beast Master (the first movie), The Herculoids, Willow (great example of a film that concentrates on Transmutation style magic, quite a gem if you like playing a Transmutation Wizard in D&D), Black Star, The Sword and the Sorcerer, Fire and Ice, particular Heavy Metal animations, Conquest (I wish I'd remembered to put a Bow artifact that fires energy arrows), The Last Unicorn, , The Black Cauldron, Krull, The Dark Crystal, and many more. In addition to live action and animated movies and series, there's also a great range of Pulp Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery, and Planetary Romance books. Really, there's too much to list.

I recommend diving in, and never coming back up. There's a near endless amount to explore built up over the decades, and my little list of examples can't even remotely do the breadth and depth of it justice.

Please, enjoy yourself.

>>96000335

I did start making a Last Itima CYOA that took place in the outer worlds, but I decided to just let it be. The concept resulted in an ending that was too specific, no real nuance - the destruction of the stones, the ending of the Maker's perfect world, and the player becoming Last Itima at full power. The destruction of the stones, however, freed Second and First Itima. Second Itima would have been one of you, but First came from a much greater version of the stone, they've been imprisoned so long they've likely gone made, and they'd turned dictatorial and malevolent long before their imprisonment.

It's not really a CYOA. It's a story. So I put it aside, since the aim was to make a CYOA.

>>96000386
More anime art?

>>96000425
>It's not really a CYOA. It's a story. So I put it aside, since the aim was to make a CYOA.
Sounds like a cool idea for a novel, though. Let us know if/when you write it - I'd love to see what you can do in a longer medium.

PCA believes the world is 5,000 years old and he refuses to have sex until he’s married lul

>>96000821
He changed the reality retroactively. His actions doomed us.

Ignoring that, didn't PCA say anyway that it would be in a long while? but at the same time he had like 20-30 already. So I don't know if I should expect it to be done relatively soon or not.

It's best to never expect anything, that way you're always pleasantly surprised. Authors can be "almost finished" for a year and not release the cyoa.

The basic truck, that way you can gain access to European countries and run over their people.

Waiting for the right time to have sex with your partner is fine and all, if you’re truly the kind of person who treasures it, but like, some people are just brainwashed by their religion into thinking premarital sex is some immoral sin.

Shirou is sooooo molestable

>>96001040
That would be a nsfwcyoa. And a lot of them are about getting raped.

>>96000920
I think a lot of people are more concerned with not being a virgin than actually wanting to have sex, which is dumb.
I'm not religious, but the amount of social pressure that revolves around a guy's virginity is really odd.
Sex doesn't change much of anything.

>>96001035

>>96001056

>>96001080

Archer on the other hand…

>>96001096
There's entire groups of people (incels) that feel enough social pressure about their virginity that it completely defines there self image.

>>96001118

>>96001081
>the most breedable
The Milky Way

>>96001125
The thing about incels is less about sex and more about having a girlfriend. They want emotional validation not sex. If they had sex they’d still be unhappy. Men who have sex with women don’t necessarily like women, they’re just attracted to them. Incels having a one night stand reinforces their incel behaviours, because “they see us as objects”. You think handsome and attractive incels don’t exist? Dead wrong.

>>96000988
It's almost like shitposters have driven away most anons! Though it has been a slightly quieter since softie said he wouldn't drop oc until things got better.

>>96001139

>>96001173
>>96001081
Anons, no! That was a man!

>>96001139
I don't disagree that what they really want is emotional intimacy, but there is a reason they view sex as an end in and of itself. Popular culture's obsession with sex and everything sexual is the driving factor in these people's perception, it's difficult to see through it without ever having had it in the first place. Sex is the easy part, which is why it's so common. Relationships are difficult and exhausting, but at the same time it's what we're actually looking for.

Constitution's effects aren't limited to stamina, for example a natural hardiness against disease by someone with a healthier constitution in reality. Gnat's mention of stamina as separate is suggesting only that his stamina pool is out of proportion with his Constitution, or, if you prefer, despite his constitution - which is why it's stated.

>>96002200
The anon with the Dark Sovereign WB has a knack for image design and is a decent writer. While he has some self-esteem issues and has three or so faggots incestuously circlejerking about their fiction of who he is, I believe he could make a good author. Making something of his own, rather than an imagebuild anchored in the work of another, could strengthen his resolve. It's hard and he'd catch a lot of flak, faggot ERPers or not, but few easy things are worth doing in the long run. I believe in him.

>>96002187
Cyoag is infested with annoying shitposters like you, no wonder authors don't want to make anything and the general is mostly dead aside from ritualposts like this.

It's not anons as a whole. I would argue it isn't even a plurality of anons, it's a handful of faggots. They've made nothing, do nothing, and are nothing but a yoke around the /cyoag/'s neck. The only way to get rid of them is to be strong enough to ignore them. If we don't take the bait, sooner or later, they'll get bored and go back to their discords. If they don't, who cares? Their entire discourse is meaningless vapour.

Tok, shitposting coomer that he may be, has been getting spammed with shitposts for years and he still makes CYOAs. Italics has been spammed with shitposts for years and he still makes CYOAs. EntropistAnon made a single CYOA, was spammed with some of the most vitriolic shitposts we've seen in years, and he's still making a CYOA. All of these authors get builds and engagement, the shitposting does nothing to impact that. Numerous authors are shitposted and continue the craft. I see shitposts every time I check the /cyoag/, but I'm still working on my upcoming CYOA. It will get builds and engagement. That's what I care about, engaging with anons that makes builds and distracting them from their lives. The /cyoag/ could be 90% complaints and insults, and it wouldn't matter to me. I would make my CYOA for that 10%. Other authors feel the same. I've only released a couple of short CYOAs, albeit anonymously, but they got a decent amount of engagement and were worth making for that alone.

Simple strategy, I go naked save for the invisi-helm and headlock anyone in my way to sleep while nobody's any the wiser. Only clumsy footfalls or barbarian musk could give me away so I Perceive these traces as best I can to diffuse them, also comes in handy for eavesdropping (the deftest diplomacy relies on unexpected information).

>Gnat, Bill, Sun Sword, Golden Crescent, Power Ring, Mundane Garb, HG (power gem)
>Str 5, Con 5, Dex 7, Agi 7, Per 6, Cha 7
Bill deserves a break and though I'll be candid about hoping to use Wrath and Gnat's existing familiar bond to jumpstart a bromance the honesty ought to endear. In our escapades he hangs at the back, exploiting greater parkour aplomb to guide me (the our-eyes-only Power Ring foe-glow makes for effective Morse code ) while distracting ably with whirling crescents and shining shield should I need to exfiltrate.

>Quiet Step, Sumire, Blood Lust, Ornate Bottle, Speaks in Riddles' Outfit, HG (moon gem)

Using Quiet's agility she hangs back providing Bloody buffs and creature comforts, the Bottle usually stays in Bill's keeping (what with it appearing to float in my stealthed hands) but we've both used it to reach a common age.

Both blood bags at that. Bill relies on holding the Azure shield to a bonfire to replenish blood while I exploit the Bloody buff to pass on my anemia to others. Between us and her Headgear Irina is kept as lucid as one might hope. She's less innately maneuverable than the rest of us but well fed means energetic so bat or mist form helps her move among us without drawing attention.

>Freedom (Kala), Rose for a Lingering Smile (n-012), Glory
We've enough Cosmic knick-knacks on hand to make a showdown with the Void Lord inevitable so may as well lean into it! Kala is distubingly willing as martyrs-in-the-making go while n-012's budding object permanence apparently makes it a challenge to see Irina's Blood Rose as anyone else but his garlanded beloved. Should we succeed I'll be charismaxxing as best I can since while conquest is a warrior's game courtesy makes the court.

>>96002358
Real sad how capable the miserable fucks are at drowning out genuine engagement though. Oh well, as you say it's just a matter of sifting the shit for gold.

Shitpost Wizard's Apprentice is slowly back! I've started making up the companions. Yeah, two options are maid jokes. DESU, I did enjoy the idea of contrast between typical fantasy maids that suck at maids and a monster giving pretty girl's face, squeezed into a dress and actually taught how to be a good maid.

I found it incredibly interesting, probably one of the most unique cyoas I've ever seen. Too bad Liminal can't be consistent to save his life.
I wish he would just give us a lore dump about where the story was heading instead of just leaving us on a cliffhanger.

>>96002358
Being honest we can't really confirm if any of the posts after EA leaving were actually him or if it was someone deviously posing as him to play an eternal shitpost.

Shitposter-kun take your meds and stop samefagging so you don't quote the wrong post again.

>>96002392
He would have milked it way more. He came a total of... what, 6 times over months? and he disappeared until he will release it. So if it was shitposting it was very weak. He would have made way more shitposting by simply disappearing without sayin he will come back with OC.

I think the possiblity of it not being him, even when we are all anons, its reaaaaally low. I also saw a lot of EA patterns, in themes, how he writes, hours, games/franchises he likes etc...

>>96002442
It's not that hard to fake being an author especially someone who blogposts like EA. EA doesn't even really have a distinctive posting style. Anons already regularly try to mimic authors and someone who was never coming back is never going to contradict them. It's not impossible to be him, but I can absolutely see some anon occasionally milking it like that so he can kek over the people coping about his cyoas.

>>96002383
It is, yeah. We've gotten good at panhandling over the years, though, kekekek.

>>96002386
I think it's not nothing about EA or his work specifically that drew in the shitposting, just that he interrupted the drought and was popular, and therefore, the biggest target possible.

>>96002392
That is true. I believe it is EA, however, as the writing style (and posting hours of the day) syncs up perfectly, the Entropist gacha WB was identical to the previous, and he was cryptic as he usually was. I wouldn't put it beyond a shitposter to do, but it would've been a months-spanning work for a pay-off he could've already cashed in.

>>96002442
I'm inclined to agree with this reasoning. The posts, the image selection, the personality, etc., were all extremely precise. It was either EA or a shitposter so obsessed with mimicking him that they're indistinguishable.

>>96002433
if your not him your one of his homosexual discord lackeys, be a good little fag and go back.

>>96002456
>discord discord discord
Least insane shitposter.

>>96002454
That's true. If EA were only posting I'd be inclined to agree, but the gacha was an exact 1:1 of his previous formatting and style. I wouldn't put it past a shitposter to make a CYOA addition under false pretenses, but getting it that precisely would've been a lot of work for how little he's milked it. I don't think most shitposters have that much work ethic.

I would make my CYOA for that 10%.
I understand what you're saying but the sheer vitriol and amount of actively detrimental shitposting is too much nowadays. I don't care about the 10% and only mildly care about if people play what I make or not, but if I can make the place even a little better by disincentivizing shitposting it's worth it. Unfortunately there's pretty much just the 10% of anons left most likely. It seems like the only people not actively shitposting most of the time are the authors (except tok). If that's the case, I could unironically just share what I make quietly among other authors and leave the ass-mad shitposters in the dark here. I like(d) coming here and I appreciate authors that post despite it, but I'm not beholden to anything like that and would like to see this place be less of a shithole and flourish again like it did before. Frankly, they don't deserve OC right now.

>>96002490
its opposite actually, Softie recruits them by promising his soft ass to the one who defends him the hardest.
>Source: I'm one of them.

>>96002358
>>96002386
I'll probably be accused of being an EA hater (i honestly have no ill will) but he brought a lot of it on himself. But the real reason the hate spiraled so out of control is that you could not criticize him or even the cyoa in even the most minor way without very obnoxious fanboys wailing like you just crucified their messiah. That shit was like throwing gasoline on a bonfire.

>>96002513
Yea, I agree with this honestly. While it wasn't intentional, I feel like entropist set the scene for the modern era of shitposting we're in.

>>96002513
This, honestly 70% of Entropist "hate" is anons ragebaiting entrofags because they're an easy source of (You)s.

is it bad that I have fond nostalgia of this?

>>96002545
Thanks! Basically, I try to use each one as a plot hook, balancing their personal issues with their power and competences. My current biggest dilemma is how many tiny fey viking hamsters can I use as a single companion without it being too OP.

>>96002490
It smells and tastes like candy.

What do you guys think would be cooler to have a generic teaching power that can then bless mortals with a blessing of one aspect(warrior, sage, adventurer, trickster and leader.)
Or should each aspect have it's own version of this power?
For example to train mechanics and healers with sage, commanders and soldiers with warrior, or priests and judges with leader?

>>96002571
I'd guess it depends on what they can do, particularly if they have opposable thumbs(which I assume they do from the image). I would totally try to build a golem ship for them.

>>96002586
I mean I would think sage or leader would have the teaching power.

>>96002586
Rennala never flew. She was levitated by her childlike students. A flying wizard would be too OP.

>>96002586
I would say second.
The first is a generic power giving "classes" the second is "classes" teaching the newbies.

>>96002589
Their main deal powerwise is that they aren't individually that strong but there five of them, which evens out. So while other supernatural creature companions have greater and more varied power than them, they make up for it by being five separate.

>>96002586
I think the latter, but managing the overlap sounds like a pain. Teaching commanders could fit for both warrior and leader, for example.

>>96002552
Yeah but im involuntary laughing myself despite having no part in that. Kek

>>96002500
That's understandable. To be honest, if 40% of the posts in any given thread were going back-and-forth over how much they wanted to sodomize me, I wouldn't want to contribute OC to it either. I think that most anons in the /cyoag/ are authors, going by the sheer amount of CYOAs that have been made relative to the board's population, but I also think there aren't many regulars in /cyoag/. Most anons probably come in every couple of weeks or so, or when they have OC to drop, and don't bother with the /cyoag/ otherwise. Most of those that aren't are lurking. Shitposts, on the other hand, are in every single thread, without fail, like clockwork, aggressively spamming their faggot ERP nonsense.

Even if they're only 2% of /cyoag/ posters, by dint of never leaving the thread, they'll seem far more numerous than they are. Bunch of faggots. They'll leave sooner or later. One thing that I do appreciate is that lately, the jannies seem to be pretty proactive in keeping the /cyoag/ from degenerating further. I recommend reporting the ERP and ignoring it. As for your OC, to make and release it or not is ultimately the author's own choice. I'd like to see something new, I always do, but I get it if you don't feel the current /cyoag/ warrants it. Just don't take the shitposts too seriously, because the shitposters definitely aren't.

>>96002513
This is true, yeah. EA's open disdain for shitposters emboldened them, and the pseudo cult of personality that resulted from his WB mechanic incenitivized shitposts, precisely because Entropist fans felt obligated to respond every single time. Every. Single. Time. EntropistAnon did nothing wrong but some of the trends he started weren't right. It's funny to think that he has no idea about any of this and is just quietly working on some huge threadbuster.

>>96002583
Partner 4, Item 2 (Black x2, Yellow x2, Blue x2), Trade 1 (Both), Domain 4

True immortal painting mage partner, lifespan, intelligence, and magic are obvious no brainer choices. Trade 1 is so insanely powerful: REALITY WARPING in a 5 mile square area and astral projection ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE. Physical intimacy means nothing in the face of overwhelming benefits. Domain 4 is the safest. We can stay there and obtain all the knowledge of the other domains via astral projection.

i know theres another version
but its just this one but changed

>>96002592
I did originaly thought of giving it to the sage as part of the teacher sub-archetype, each main archetype gets 3, sage originally had builder, teacher and lorekeeper but I ended up replacing teacher with healer.
Teachers main gimmick was to uplift normies to be better followers but that could be spreaded among the aspects

>>96002618
There will be innevitable overlap I'm afraid for example the sub-archetype of general ended up under warrior rather than leader to give more flexibility to warrior and free up space for leader.
Each aspect is meant to have two allies and two rivals so I might have one "pure" sub-archetype for each aspect while the other two show inclination for the ally for example
Warrior as the main aspect
>Duelists?
As pure warrior
>General
Influenced by the leader
>Athlete
Influenced by the adventurer

>>96002664
No honestly I would say leave teacher as it. You can choose powers from other sects right? So I could go leader/sage and get the powers from those? If that's the case then its fine to leave teacher as the sole teaching thing.

>>96002658
The final section is clearly unfinished and alot of other options have requirements which doesn't exist anywhere in the cyoa, like the Self-insert origin mentions a "exclusive magitech options" but nowhere is it ever mentioned again.

>>96002315
>magitech options
WHERE ARE THEY

>>96002742
Its east fantasy. The thing most similar to magitech is a 900 year old stick used by an empress as a dildo as his spouse had a tiny dick and to boot he didn't care about her pleasure

>>96002583
The domains are pretty big turnoffs, I wouldn't want to be stuck in any of them.

Partner IV. The best one, sadly I will have to get cockblocked for a good amount of years.
Item II. I take two age fruits, so I will be a kid (hopefully without those hormones I can resist temptations better) so I will live roughly 500 years with this at least. I eat 1 of strength, 1 of intelligence plus memory and the last 2 of magical talent and mana pool. Hopefully some magic I will learn will make me, maybe, extend my life more.
Trade, nothing but I guess I so I will get a cookie and not get the refusing punishment. The trades are shitty because I won't sacrifice the partner in any form, it doesn't feel right.
Domain IV. It was either this or Paradise, but Paradise does have the flesh erating abomination. So easy Japanese anime life with the partner.

Another CYOA to add to my collection.

>>96002241

Fair to say I have many partially finished CYOAs. It would also be fair to say I have more fully released CYOAs than most authors, both to my name and not (as we didn't really use names or title CYOAs back in the day). I'm not familiar with what Allsync attributes to me, but I have over two dozen finished CYOAs that I've released according to my folder.

As to A Bit More Effort, that's a labor of love and learning that gets squeezed in between everything else I'm doing. I won't promise it will ever be released - what I can promise is that there hasn't been a year gone by I haven't worked on it. That said, it's far from the only thing I work on between other CYOAs, books I'm writing, games, friends, family, work, and other real life nonsense.

I think it's quite clear if I was dropping something I'd just say. I've already made that clear about several unfinished CYOAs.

I can't really apologize though. It's who I am. I will talk about things I'm working on, and most of them probably won't release. An apology would suggest I'd change. If I say sorry, it's really just sorry for letting some of you down but with the caveat that . . . I'm not going to change. Like I said, criticism of that or vitriol is fair. I accept it without grudge. I like this place. I like you anons. And despite my slow output, I do like making CYOAs when I have the time.

>>96002725
>>96002742

FED is quite finished. It was made on a trip without any access to my usual set up. There's no layered version of it to easily edit things: such as the Magitech thing which I just never took out.

I do play with a follow up to it (basically just the same thing, but a little more refined), as I rather like Xianxia, Wuxia, and the like. Almost anytime I watch a new show in those genres I play with it a little. Not something I prioritize though.

Reminder that this community was NEVER good and it was ALWAYS shit, especially around the time black magic spam happened and words like “based” or “cringe” started being uttered; the beginning of the end.

NONE of you were here before the Trump election I bet. Fucking newfags. How many of you even remember puffy nips Angel? A literal lesbian DYKE was an (attempted) author here, once.

I still have her boob pics too.

Has anyone asked him what happens when you take off the [insert clothing here that gives you magic powers] ?

>>96002925

If you're separated from your artifacts, you're separated from the enhancements they give you. You do keep your own capabilities. For example it's possible to have an offensive spell without an artifact via Outlet. Sumire obviously doesn't have the worry of losing clothing, but she may have an issue with having clothing given the artifacts crumble when she absorbs their power.

>>96002904

Liminal. Regarding the “isekai” the other anon mentioned—the whole fire magic imitation thing seems a bit suicidal. What are my actual chances of surviving it? As far as I’m aware that’s the only way to get access to fire spells, too.

Hybrids are a minority as a general rule. Though Metis is very populated to even as a minority you'd still run into quite a few albeit relatively less than non-hybrids.

>>96002951

As a general rule, if it would be impossible to separate from you without tearing off your skin, or a body part . . . you'd keep it, but if the power involved the actual artifact itself - not how the artifact changed you - there'd probably be a partial loss. So you could say there are circumstances of: Total loss, partial loss, and no loss.

That's a good question. I believe, if I understand what you're talking about - you're afraid that you're going into it as a Disciple and will be instantly sacrificed since it says: "If your rank is Disciple" ? This means if you're a Disciple and you lose, whereas above that you'll be downgraded a rank until Disciple. Disciple's can fight again and perhaps win but if they lose as a Disciple the Shadow Priestesses and the Sana get you.

Or are you worried you just can't possibly win with the tools available at that point? Provided I understood at all. I apologize if I'm thinking of the wrong thing.

>>96003006

Males were an afterthought I admit. It's supposed to be a Witch Circle concept. I think I talked about this back in the day when people asked. I started adding males as options more readily because it was requested. The Circle is probably the most massive project in my folder. Every single spell school is a multipage book, on top of the CYOA itself.

I make no promises on how long that will take. I'll think about the male statistics, I don't really want the males and females to be the same . . . so I'd have to consider how I'd want to approach it.

>>96003014

I think I've been clear over the years. I don't do balance, I do different flavors. I do understand that some people don't like that, so I try to be upfront that my work isn't worth wasting your time on if you don't like that stuff.

>>96003087

Hhmmm . . . after looking through that, it's both missing some of the completed, and incomplete CYOAs I've shared. Yet, at the same time, it's attributed CYOAs to me that I did not make.

Invocation, in the WIP section, for example, is not mine. In the primary section, Mythos War is not mine either. Missing things I've made doesn't matter much, but people put effort into their CYOAs. It's best they aren't attributed to me.

Yes you can mix and match powers.
I think that lorekeeper and teacher kind of overlap too much instead of being different expressions of a sage.
That's why healer is more district and lorekeeper can eat teacher.
All the waifus will have the power to warp humans to give them supernatural powers while you will have 5 or 6 distinct ways to train and at the peak bless humans.
Each person can only be mutated by one waifu but I'm not sure if that would also preclude them from your blessings.

>>96002969
>no one got the joke
Its over

>>95997185 (OP)
Currently making a build and I know that Sumire is more or less meant to be Frail but I'd like to make her as Red Lust. Poor girl deserves not to be trapped in a wretched body for once.

Best items to take to enhance her physicality? As most items that would normally do this seem to tend to give her supporting abilities instead.

Thinking about going with Adaptive Fang as that would give her support utility but also the power to turn in to massive beasts in battle.

>>96002372
Based Build. I thought about taking Bill as Golden Wrath myself and essentially have him be the protagonist but that would've given the team two physical fighters.

>>96001035
Naisu Builderu
Johhny Park + Gnat seems like the intended pair and also sort of makes him the 'Child Hero' of the story when given Golden Crescent. I almost went with giving him Void Bite instead to create a bit more conflict in his character as Void Bites abilities have a much darker tone.

>>96003324

Frail is for Sumire, players that want to be a magic user, certain builds of Naomi. Not that there are limits. Putting Zorr in Frail's body is always funny.

The support twist to Sumire's change to most Artifacts is very intentional. Not an absolute, but she's not simply meant to be the magic user as that, "supporting magic user" seen in many of the inspirations noted prior. The Teela’na (Sorceress), the Enchantress, Princess Ariel (Sorceress), Mara (Enchantress), etc. Each is technically powerful, but usually a supporting character to the hero. In the CYAO that hero might be you, or, as some do, perhaps Bill or Zorr in the right body with you being a supporting character as well.

I tried to give people options.

Thanks for the reply, Liminal!

>>96003413
>I tried to give people options.
You definitely did. While most of the characters have a 'natural fit' there's definitely more than enough leeway to build any of them in any way without it feeling like they've been crippled from the get-go.

Really I was just wandering what the best way to build Sumire was if my intent was to go completely against the grain with her. Much like putting Zorr in Frail's body.

>Sumire is more or less meant to be Frail
That's the first impression, but Grim is really good too, perhaps optimal even, for her because Sumire taking the Moon Sword negates his cap problem.

>Johhny Park + Gnat seems like the intended pair and also sort of makes him the 'Child Hero' of the story when given Golden Crescent
They combo really well too. Johny's reflexes and senses with Gnat's high dexterity and agility plus Golden Crescent make for a fearsome skirmisher. With the Ancient Bronze Helmet for invisibility, he is an unparalleled assassin.

>>96003474
>what the best way to build Sumire was if my intent was to go completely against the grain with her
A physical Sumire build is really hard because almost all artifacts she gets crumble and give her magical benefits instead of their normal physical ones. Red Lust, Blood Lust/Adaptive Fang/The Grappler, Void Anklets, and Power Armor make for a decent magical warrior. Making her a pure mage is still far more optimal though.

>With the Ancient Bronze Helmet for invisibility, he is an unparalleled assassin.
This is true but I was thinking to take Power Talisman (Thrown Weapons) for him as it would partly offset his poor Strength score.

But Head Gear does give a lot of little utility to the whole party.

>>95997185 (OP)
With 'Headgear' it says that, for Sumire 'Effects Doubled'. What effects?

>>95997190
How much did I fuck up, lads?

I always make my first build for any CYOA blind, making all the choices for each section before looking at the next one, and in this case I think I've just ended up as a mediocre sidekick to my companions.

>Grim Chuckle
>Discipline (melee training, spear specialisation), Gentle
>Golden Crescent
>Power Ring, Ancient Bronze Helmet
>Crimson Conspiracy
Grim Chuckle because I couldn't pass up the man with EP+SP. I don't know what it does but magic is pretty much always good. The low ch and str hurt though. Discipline because I need some sort of weapon training if I don't want to be a bitch and tactics+strategy seemed to Grim's stats better than Bloodlust or Hunter's additional benefits. Gentle because I want Arcane Knowledge and I'm not sure how powerful Outlet's Bolt's are, Inlet just seems weak on it's own. Golden Crescent for the protagonist energy, shame I picked melee training and spear spec for discipline though. Power Ring because it, in combination with the Ancient Bronze Helmet, might actually let me do something in combat; my stats aren't great but two telekinetic blades being thrown about by a mostly invisible cunt is hard to counter. Clothing was a toss-up between Crimson Conspiracy and Sorcerer's Embrace because all of the rest would reveal too much of my body for the Bronze Helmet to remain useful in combat (CC and SE can be easily shed to fight), in the end CC seemed more pleasurable.
I've ended up with good per, cha and general leadership skills but nothing that compares to Naomi's EP/SP 10++ or Lenka's str/con 10++.

>Frail
>Naomi
>Moon Sword
>Moonlight, Hero's Circlet (Naomi's extra choice)
>Power Armour
Frail a cute. Naomi and Moonlight up her EP nicely. Moon Sword and Power Armour makes her a beast when we need it. Hero's Circlet stops her dying to an ambush.

>Red Lust
>Lenka
>Blood Lust
>Power Talisman
>Dark Sun Carapace
Just a combat monster.

>>96004111
>Power Talisman (Thrown Weapons) for him as it would partly offset his poor Strength score
Eh, the greatest power of the Golden Crescent isn't in the throwing attack, but in pairing it with the Power Ring for telekinetic control.

Let mages, the player/Sumire with Frail/Grim, cover the long range attacker role. They're better at it anyway.

>>96004151
I think it just has special interaction *if* she takes it.

>>96004248
Did you miss pages 5 and 6?

I wish i wasn't a loser and was happy

>>96004248
>How much did I fuck up, lads?
Massively. Grim and Frail are completely ruined. Red Lust wastes Lenka's abilities.

>>96004275
Nah, I just got caught up in the characters as they are at the start of our adventures.
Page 5 would be
>Freedom
>>With the woman
>Captain Metal Bird
>>Stay with the miners
>Glory
Power's cool, so is Money and living the good life, but saving the world (and then ruling it) is where it's really at. My personal goal is really The Trinity as a path to immortality (I'm regretting passing up both Void Bite and the Genie) but we'll do some good taking down the Void Lord on the way.
