>>How much did I fuck up, lads?
>Massively. Grim and Frail are completely ruined. Red Lust wastes Lenka's abilities.
Where do you think I fucked up most? When did it become irredeemable?

Started with Red Lust and Frail, I still think they're the two strongest bodies.
I'm not going to put a man's mind in a woman's body and I avoided Sumire because going in blind means I have no idea how her unique ability will change the items, that leaves Lenka and Naomi as the only options. Naomi could go either way but her EP boost works better for Frail. Lenka into Red Lust means she has the stealth and mobility to sneak into an enemy base along with the physical stats to do some damage once she gets inside.

Grim Chuckle is the only man with EP+SP so I stand by choosing him at the time. When it comes to boons, one of the three that grants Arcane Knowledge seems necessary and I still like the +strategy/+tactics of Discipline. Maybe I should've just given physical abilities up as a lost cause and picked two of the magic boons (or one magic boon and Crooked) but going into this sort of setting with below-average strength feels wrong.

>>96004748
And, my 2.2 image build, finally complete, full of slop. Kept the same name as my 1.0 build, since it seemed if anything even more appropriate, but most of the rest has been altered very substantially.

Feels like my ambitions for these things have changed substantially, particularly in the direction of thinking that I would take little or no joy from rulership.

Incoming blogpost.

I come back to this CYOA repeatedly, just to daydream about what I'd do with it's powers and trinkets (Exotic Wizard > Glint Dancer > State Striver in my view, though that is more 'what I think is more fun' than anything else).
I used to write a lot, until one day i felt my ability to critique writing overcame my actual writing ability and just sort of stopped. I've got some time off work now (about to go on a hike for the first time in ages actually) and have been thinking about getting back into it with some meaningless fun, doing some isekai self insert nonsense about what I'd do in another world with these powers just out of the hope that getting daydreams out of my head and onto paper will work.

Run into the usual problem though, I can never really think of what world would be most interesting to be isekai'd to with powers. Something original or existing? I'd usually go fantasy, but half the time the world or magic is so unexplained I'd end up filling the gaps myself (*Frieren*). Something Xianxia? Just give up and pick One Piece or fucking Worm?

I'm always curious as to what other people's preferred settings are for their isekai daydreams. I'd not want to be one of those people who rushes around fixing problems with their out of context knowledge: a world where you can find your own adventures sounds more fun.

>>96004796
I like the Witcher one but it's just really long, feels more like a journaling game then a traditional CYOA imo

>>96004843
>I'm always curious as to what other people's preferred settings are for their isekai daydreams.
I have the same problem with anything that demands I pick a setting to live in; there isn't really anything I feel super attached to, and there's then a kind of choice paralysis in considering the many things I've sort of enjoyed in passing (that half the time are practically doomed worlds anyway...)

>>96004706
if they have biologically female bodies idc. All those girls could have been anons and I would still breed them

>>96004843
>I'm always curious as to what other people's preferred settings are for their isekai daydreams.
The setting itself doesn't matter if I can freely choose what I do once incarnated, even if I lean towards fantasy. Lamentations, Outer Reincarnation, Stardust, Witcher, Worm... It's less about how I could fix the setting, and more about what how the lessons taught here might further my personal growth. The moral of the story is important to me.

>>96004843
>I'm always curious as to what other people's preferred settings are for their isekai daydreams.
Each CYOA image is its own setting unless otherwise stated, at least in my eyes, as such any choices or powers are relative to that implied or overt setting. CYOAs with tons of magic choices but no high tech choices are always fantasy or medieval, where as those with a mix may be eclectic. I dislike CYOAs that have no setting at all or find some too difficult to parse if it's too vague, like that Otherwise one you posted. I can enjoy the writing or image choices but if it's too abstract without clear powers or challenges and just vague platitudes I mentally check out.

>>96004874
There's lots of settings I *like* but yeah it's definitely choice paralysis and nitpicking that gets me. Example, Breath Of The Wild is somewhere I considered, that game can be incredibly haunting when it can get out of it's own way and just vibe. Fantasy Post-apocalypse is rare, walking through battlefields littered with the remains of medieval soldiers who died fighting fucking schizotech robots is raw as fuck.
But ultimately there's no real opposition except the big bad and no one else has magic so I'd feel out of place and theres the fifty billion glowing techno shrines standing out like a dick in the breeze too.

Worm is one I considered for how common Worm SIs are, but worm is ultimately built around the golden man and endbringers and the climax of the story in dealing with them, which pretty much requires you to match them to save the entire multiverse which is a bit much. I want power but I don't want to outshine Eidolon, that guy can have his role as earth's greatest hero/nanny.

>>96004905
That's probably a good way of looking at it, that the actual setting shouldn't matter as much as what you do in it and the people you meet and shit. I will consider these words. Anyway, time to go touch grass.

>>96004959

I believe most villains can be defeated by a solid therapist. Scion in particular is primed for this.

>>96004843

I don't think I have one, it's more about the context (like ones provided by cyoas; why you'd be there and what your starting situation is etc.).

>Can't actually post it because everyone will call you edgy or a psychopath

>>96005215
It's not a tranny build tho. If I magically become a woman it's a woman build not a tranny build. Trannies are pharmaceutical abominations that are a mockery of the beauty of a real womanand they are mentally retareded and deluded enough to believe they are women despite that they clearly are not. I hold no such delusions, I am a man but I think it would be hot as fuck to become a real woman through magic.

>>96005246
Trannies are 100x more honorable than your mental gymnastics, discordschizo ass

>>96005245
>Ohhh no random strangers on the internet will call me edgy or psychopath so cannot post a build anonymously that I really like
Don't live a life of regret anon, live your life for your own enjoyment. Don't look back, fix your gaze forward and do the things that make you happy, pic realted

>>96005246
NTA, but if you magically become a woman yet still exhibit all traits of a man mentally, I don't think that brand of logic holds.
Being a woman is more than a biological matter.

>>96005246
It's a tranny build. Almost any build you make is a tranny build tok. You make nothing but dogshit.

>>96005246

>>96005246
Naw you're right, getting turned into a girl via magic isn't trannyism, but having a fetish for it is extremely tranny coded and given this website's community people will be especially cruel and hostile to any perceived notion of trannyism even if it's just playful or genuine Autogynaphilia

It'll probably be ignored like majority of builds, but even if someone got triggered by it, it's their problem, not yours.

>>96005370
If I'm gonna give you any of my cooler ideas I will need to know that you can pull them off first. So what CYOAs have you previously made?

>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.
I'm glad to hear that, ABMEI is simultaneously one of my favourite and most disappointing cyoas, so I'm very happy to hear that there's a chance of a sequel (hopefully soon). I can't wait.
>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.
Nah no worries. Its just sad seeing so many amazing creative projects get abandoned. But hey as long as you're still around there's always hope of them being picked up again.

>>96005430
>>96003143
I also have some questions regarding the setting of a bit more effort, if you don't mind Liminal.
-Are Isatum and the Sana actual gods, or just really powerful magic users? what's their relationship with each other? is Radeia there daughter?
-Does fire and shadow magic originate from Isatum and Sana them or is it just something they are proficient in and teach to their followers? If its the former, is it safe to assume that wind and water gods exist somewhere?
-Can you go beyond star of magic?
-How powerful is the royal family? do they have equal status to the cult or are they subservient to them.
-What's Baraqu's end goal? does he plan on starting his own cult? is he backed by a god? or is he secretly a powerful magic user himself?
-What's the deal with inanis? she seems to work independently from the cult and has her faction with many connections to the underground, but from Sana's daughters description that should be impossible.
>Is the Ink Black something belonging to Um Sana alone or is she just one of its residents? Do other elemental dimensions exist?

>>96005245
>Can't actually post it because everyone will call you edgy or a psychopath

Huh, I think you left a couple of 'free' (as in minimal-effect-to-you) Stability chaos control on the table, by only taking Cross Section once, instead of thrice for all three races.

He makes twinks but he's definitely not gay.

>>96007213
Yeah, there's no barrier of entry whatsoever

Dark softie is a forced meme. It doesn't feel organic. Like it's from dis*ord or something.

>>96007295
I've never seen him want to fuck anything that wasn't a brown girl or a monstergirl on his builds so probably not.

Not that anon, but I'll share some CYOA ideas that I abandoned either from not being able to find the images I wanted or cause I wanted to do something else more.

>Future Racer: Build your own speed racer (think pod racers from star wars), but with genetic engineering fantasy races like elves, orcs and so on.
>World Conqueror: Choose certain powers that come with demands for conquest of overtaking the real world to unlock more points for new powers in a different section and move towards advancing Earth towards a type I civ and then higher types afterwards.
>Island Survival, but instead of that, you have crashlanded on an alien planet and need to choose between various scrap or modules that survived the crash.
>Three Genies; One genie willing to grant one true intended wish. The second genie willing to grant two literal wishes. The third genie willing to grant three wishes according to his own interpretation.
>Mirai Nikki inspired CYOA, but instead of phones, you will have to pick powers from a shared pool.
>Fallout Isekai adventure (mostly because Fallout just got a ton of great art from MTG)
>Neopunk Detective CYOA with Blade Runner feel, where mankind rules the galaxy, and your job is to Gestapo hunt fleeing aliens that hide amongst the population.

Guys after meditating on the matter.
I have decided to get rid of the beastmen from the setting or atleast make them enemies.

He only has sex with his pure human waifu as God intended.

>>96007476
>Thanks for the read witcherfriend, I enjoyed it
Hah, good, I'm glad. It came out really rather ambivalent and waffling about many things, I have usually a firmer 'character' in mind, even to the point of writing my image builds in third person. But I suppose that's a danger of taking these seriously and thinking about what it would be like for them to be real, not just a set of highlights and accomplishments.

>Why do humans copy each other so hard
Are you really asking this?

>>96008127
Yes. I am tired of humans being parrots. Fuck them. Fuck parrots. You’re all dumb fucking birds squawking.

I'm having issues regarding my power system. You see I want my CYOA to feature multiple transformed human races like demons and half-angels and such. Yet I'm having issues realizing a power-system that can be pleasing as most of my thoughts are drawn to segregation between races and listing powers as specific for them, like a demon can become a four armed Oni or a half-angel that gets a halo just insta-killing anything that tries to bodysnatch or enter into its body like a parasite as a passive effect
But that leads to a very murky system that could be meta-gamed when I want everything to feel uniquely powerful and viable.

What advice do you guys have in this matter to assist me?

Where is PCA...

>>96008203
Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but I never know how to answer this question: "Is [this precaution] NECESSARY?"

I mean, it's kind of a philosophical question. It's not absolutely NECESSARY, if you're not going to be exposed to the disease. The problem is, we can't predict who's going to be exposed. You're young, and stuff might happen throughout your life. Kids are gross and stupid.

A basic principle of prevention is that we apply the preventive measure to an "at-risk" population, which doesn't mean we know with 100% certainty that they will ALL encounter/develop the bad outcome if not protected.

Like, ALL women over 50 should get mammograms (even though only 1 in 10 will ever benefit from it)

Like, ALL babies should be vaccinated against measles (even though some would be protected by herd immunity, and others may have a mild course of measles)

Like, ALL people in cars should wear seat belts (even though many will never be in an accident where it makes a difference)

So yeah, you SHOULD get the HBV vaccine, because you are a human being capable of catching the disease. But you may not. You may not ever even need it.

(Janitors—please delete this post once it is no longer necessary to be here.)

>>96008233
wasn't Troy in Anatolia (present day Turkey)?

>>96008305
I'm a sperg that got +30 vaccines as a toddler, and the only "NECESSARY" I'm concerned with is that they should have necessarily left me the fuck alone. I don't want to live with this shit but I have to because of histrionic busybodies like (You).

>>96008349
What? I’m saying you shouldn’t get the vaccine if you’re not at risk. It’s entirely a matter of risk. Should you have been pumped with that many drugs? No I don’t think you should have. There’s also a point where you’re given way too much of something. Too much of anything is bad.

Don’t come into contact with other peoples bodily fluids, and you won’t come into contact with Hep B. It’s that easy.

>>96008307

Ground up African green monkey kidney juice, blood from an unborn calf, ground up Chinese hamster ovaries, base metal aluminum, miscellaneous cell death debris mixed with antibiotics and red dye, and finally ground up unborn, discarded human baby parts, mix it all together and you have the hepB vaccine. Not exaggerating either. That's all from the vax ingredients list.

You can find the ingredients lists online if you look hard enough despite the fact that the search algorithms try to hide a lot of the more damning info. For example picrel I found on children’s hospital of Philadelphia’s website with just a quick search.

Vaccines are literally witches brews of animal parts and poisons.

Frail. Anything but a pure mage is fucking her up big time.

>I should've just given physical abilities up as a lost cause and picked two of the magic boons
Yes you should have. Frail and Grim are made to be pure mages. Grim can technically work as a magic warrior, but it is suboptimal, never mind your build using Golden Crescent as its weapon instead of attacking with magic (seriously, wtf).

>>96007727
Actually, as long as you're here, can I ask about one thing in the witcher CYOA, that "Secret of the Spheres" usage of the destiny wish? I'm not really sure what it's implying to be on offer.

Anons, I'm reformatting my WIP to get it within the filesize limit (before August 7th, so I can honor my oath to finish and release it before then) and have a question for (You), specifically. Which structure is better for a fantasy armybuilder?
>Loose
Troops are listed without any particular pattern, akin to African/Chinese Warlord.
>Sections
Troops are separated depending on their origins, akin to a more delineated Dawn of a Demon Lord.

There are going to be over 60 distinct units, give or take. Pic related is a rough draft to prove that I'm not a liar, pixelated to prevent spoilers. It's somewhat outdated, as I've decided to add Lamias (for that one anon) and go with the classic Harpies rather than the mythological womanheaded hawks, as there was a lot of overlap with the Dire Crows. I can post the textual unit list if you'd like, although I'm still smoothing out redundancies.

>>96009297
SECTIONS

>>96009297
The icescape adventure I mentioned a few weeks ago is still ongoing, if any of you are curious, I've just shifted focus to my earlier armybuilder. I planned to finish it last year around thanksgiving but got distracted by life. The oath has lit a fire under my ass and I've gone from grinding to jackhammering at it. This WILL release within the month or the first week of August, whatever condition it is in.

>>96009297
>I've decided to add Lamias
Okay, but you ought to spell the plural "Lamiae."

>>96009297
Please divide them into sections, 60 unorganized options would be really annoying to read through.

>>96009297
Looks good, I think you should have sections like the other anons say. I can recognize some of the art choices from stuff i've saved/seen before even though they're pixelated.

>>96009297

I prefer the Mercenary Captain approch ---> >>96005360
Also will there be some form of eternal youth and personal powers?

>>96004464 (OP)
All these powers are unique and cool.
"Yourself" is so versatile. It feels like something that a clever person could get a lot of milage out of. Need to broker a deal? Twenty five years of negotiation skill. Someone get hurt? I'm a veteran doctor now. If I could find a way to access magic too then bingo. I don't know if I prefer it, because I hate to think I'm not actually working to learn something. But maybe I take 20 years educator, 30 years magic, and write myself a course. Then once I forget the knowledge, I shift to 50 years of 'learning how to learn', and manually teach myself quick.

Otherworlder too could be great if you find the right person, though it would be sad to leave them behind. Kind of a lonely existence, to jump from person to person, collecting artifacts and knowledge. Maybe if I can get there one day I can go visit friends.

Fool, fittingly, is a strong start to a journey of power, but the element of surprise involved in growth is concerning. Xibalba is just lame, a worse version of Otherworlder. Yoggdrasil too it's like ... that's just portals magic man. It's cool but not very fanciful. Same with Avalon.

Source code offers good opportunities for learning and growth, but without something like Otherworlder how are you going to get magic?

Yin Yang is a bit too complicated and limited. Library of Babel you would think could teach you magic but no just the future, and I find that boring.

So the options are Yourself, Otherworlder, and Source Code. Those are the three big ones. Otherworlder is probably hands down the weakest, but it sounds so fucking fun man. I don't know what artifacts I could possibly get is the thing. If I run into a powerful mage will they have artifacts galore to send me? Source Code could be the strongest for growth but the mechanics are certainly less fun. I think I'll have to go with 'Yourself'.

The CYOA is 2 pages, you couldn't even bother to post 2- wait... No the CYOA is actually 1 page it's just that the author possesses negative IQ and can't compile the CYOA, well you know what that means, I will do it for him! PIc realted

Liminal, if you're still around, may I ask what you had/have planned for the rest of the World Below? The eldritch Wonderland meets Greek mythology vibe really caught my eye, and I've been wondering ever since.

>>96009532

Good point. I think I'll add Centaurs to balance out the two human cavalries (Lancers and Horse Archers), despite my irrational hatred for their body structure. Minotaurs are already extant, under Beastmen, but I might change the name to have them be more prominent.

>>96009324
I was leaning toward Sections, as the choice wall is a bit of an eyesore on reread. There's already a lot of boons and banes that haven't been sorted, forty, altogether, and about twenty choices for a given section feels like a reasonable upper bound.

>>96009338
I am trying my best.

>>96009355
There's some edge, but I've tried to put as much focus into tactics as minions. Not directly, per se, more that your (heroic, objectively good) enemies are more numerous and fighting on their own territory, so you'll need tactics if you want to win, and those tactics will vary due to the differing environments and opposition.

>>96009361
It is a popular genre. My reasoning for this was that I want to see more focus on the opposition than usual, and slant the odds so that you're the underdog and need to struggle or outsmart the enemy to win. I believe most men feel better when they're overcoming obstacles, so most of this CYOA will be detailing obstacles and how they're trying to keep you back. I was initially split between a good and evil focus, so I flipped a coin and landed on tails.

Waifus aren't the core focus of the CYOA, but I've considered adding some to the Spoils section. In that case, there would be five, one from each region, and they'd be opposed to you initially, though with certain traits/skills or heroic conduct on your part, that could change.

Hmm... I say it isn't a waifu CYOA, but it does have some commonalities, in that the enemy generals, their personalities, and their preferred strategies all have roughly equivalent detail to how much attention waifus usually get. I suppose that would make it an anti-waifu CYOA?

>>96009390
Yes. There's a choice of Motivation, Boons, positive traits and skills, including an obligatory isekai option, and Banes, negative drawbacks, personal problems or obligations that effect the war effort. I've revamped the structure to spread over two pages so that it can fit in the filesize limit, and added a couple of new options, including an admittedly basic Logistics section, but here's the pixelated rough draft. You aren't extremely powerful, though some choices can make you almost unbeatable in single combat. Much of them are focused on how you wage war and the requisite skillsets and connections.

>>96009420
There will be multiple avenues toward eternal youth and supernatural powers, locked behind artifacts and secrets in the Spoils. You'll need to earn them by slaying (or routing) your enemies and pillaging their vaults. Much easier said than done.

>>96004471
>The Teacher
>Yourself
I get the immediate benefits of being able to mimic fifty years worth of experience in any subject. I become a blindspot. But more importantly, I can grow and teach myself.
>10 years education psychology
>10 years of conveying information through courses
>30 years of learning things fast.
Then jot down a course, and sit down and learn it. Repeat this process for magic, and anything else I want to have full time. That's on top of being a swiss army knife.

>Sticky Notes
Magic likely engages all the senses. To be able to cast high level magic, and then when learning revisit the exact feeling of casting that magic, would drastically improve my growth. Sticky Notes is just good for learning in general, which means that I get more milage out of 50 years of learning something.
>Mage Handsjob
20 hands I can control at the same time synergizes amazingly with 'Yourself'. Teach myself how to blacksmith, and I can recline while they do all the work. Combat too. Let's say I have 50 years of grappling experience, and suddenly 22 total hands to use in the process. Amazing. Let's not forget pickpocketing.

For mutations, I just want to boost my physical attributes since that's my weakest spot. Combat experience is useless if I don't have the body to act on it.
>Misk's Blood
>Grighal's Bones
>Brixon's Lungs
Defense against bloodloss and quicker regen, protection against poison. A much tougher body and skin. And probably like x5 endurance if I had to guess based on the fact I can hold my breath for an hour

None of the items seem particularly great but
>Incognito Cloak
>Foolsteps
>Strist
Eventually I'll outgrow this build, but for early missions or whatnot, imbuing myself with 10 years sneak, 10 years parkour, 30 years archery will work great with this.

I don't remember. Is this Exalted Conquest, Dark Lord isekai update, or something else? It's a minion picker WAR focused cyoa so I'll play it anyways, but still.

>>96009699
Companions are all about optimizing how much I can learn in my 50 years.
>Leon Nowak
This robot man is a great teacher for tech stuff. With my power, his smarts, together we can learn and improve and perhaps figure out a way to get him his body back. Seems like a good man too.
>Nyxtara Vaelith
So, she's evilish. But she's a magical expert and again increases my ability to learn in 50 years. Think about it like this. I'm going to essentially have two teachers for the subjects of tech and magic, myself, and my experts. With sticky notes I can know exactly how it feels to apply what they're telling me.
>???
It's no fun learning by yourself. She provides a blank slate and will learn alongside me. Provide a baby perspective. The three of us will raise her as our own. It will be great.

And I think ultimately, I'm going to try and fuse our two worlds together into True Unity. The better the tech and the better the magic, the easier I can learn, and thus the more powerful my 'Yourself' Power is. And I plan to become good friends with the evil sorceress. It would break my heart to send her away to the other world.

This plan will come with a lot of deaths. Maybe the three of us can figure out a way to preserve life. Not sure. But 'stabilizing' and weakening both universes doesn't feel like a proper solution to me.

>>96009712
I'm sure it will be. I'm just curious about the premise of the cyoa

>>96009607
I'm looking forward to seeing your builds. I haven't even made a test build yet, but instead have put myself into an almost adversarial mindset. For the five regions you'll be invading, rather than think, what would be the best set of choices for anon?, I'm thinking, how would this kingdom defend itself? Then running it by myself how that could be confronted or dismantled with the tools anon is likely to have.

I remember how Rise of the Dark Lord did its world conquest segment and want to avoid something similarly easy. There are no win-buttons, just some opportunities you could exploit if you're cunning, reckless, or happen to have an ideal skillset. Your enemies are strong, disciplined, well-supplied, and well-motivated. Defeating them will be an ordeal. Not to mention, the different regions will be reinforcing each other, which will take some tactics to deal with. For instance, the forested East has elite skirmishers and trickster faeries, but could receive a detachment of heavy infantry from their friends up North.

>>96009617
Kek, looks like I was too eager to share the pixels. There is a lecherous motivation choice, which I reasoned was worth including because, no matter what, many anons would engage with a CYOA like this from a lecherous perspective. Therefore, it makes sense to include it as a possibility so they aren't forced to apply metalogic. I then pixelated a coomer image for the reference, as a joke, but I accidentally spoiled it. Kekekek.

>>96009634
You humble me, anon.

>>96010052
>>96009703
This is an unrelated CYOA, and will be my first big release. I've made a couple of simple one-pagers in the past but nothing near this scale. After this, and my other CYOA, I'll likely do a remake of them applying the lessons I've learned in graphic design.

>>96009712
It isn't kino yet, it's still a jumble of possibilities. I think of what I'm doing now as gathering the fuel, which anons will then light and turn into a fire. Maybe it'll disrupt the stagnancy until the next big release, or even better, inspire another author. The only ambition I have is to finish and release it.

>>96009802

Incomplete image build. Chose Elven Kingdoms for elf sluts to bone and Lawless Pockets for bandits to fuck.

Not sure what mutagens to take

I want Manticore two times from Do It Again and Human to become a breeder of bitches.

Also all the physical mutagens and mutagens that make spellcasters less effective against me. That way I can remove the Nemesis Witcher's spells and then physically dominate her sexually (which she will really like and will start intentionally losing or just happening to be chained up for me to conveniently rape). maybe I can find a way to reverse her loss of fertility and breed her IDK.

but that leaves quite a lot of other stuff open.

>>96010170
>become a breeder of bitches.
I know for a fact that no anon would ever do anything like this. The moment they tried anything they would be cowed and crawl back to their dens.

>>96008728

I'd love to hear what you dislike about them anon. I know it's temping to say you just dislike them, but I'd be curious about the details.

>>96004519
About the trial in Ascension, what can we expect the other disciples to have and what is the arena (is it a standard coliseum or something more exotic?)?

>>96004519
Did I not look hard enough or is there no way to learn light magic in the first year, which means light magic is, in fact, not a first year magic?

>>96010274
I have impregnated 4 married women

>>96010457
To add, I'm pretty sure the only event mentioning light magic is Crimson Tide, Scenario 3, which says that you can learn it in year 2. This event is very awkward because it sacrifices the opportunity for the player who picked Isatum to gain a Lesser Spark from Djinn, which makes it impossible for them to learn spells after succeeding in the Ascension event even though they will become a Proven Disciple because they would still have no Spark.

>>96010170
Your lewd instability choices sound like an extraordinarily badly-thought-out combination; it is very easy to incapacitate you with pleasure, and you'll be driven to do it multiple times a day. And your lecherous nemesis, with strength (as measured by shards, anyway) only 20% below yours, seems to have intentions very much oriented to take advantage.

Also not sure that that's how Do It Again normally works, enhancing the effect of something chosen repeatedly, but I'm also not sure it's NOT how it works; it'd be nice if we had an example of a use case for it...

Pixie (Intangibility)
Rock Troll (Reflexes)
Chort (Sprint)

I think this is probably the most powerful swordfighter you could make with this cyoa. The Striga mutation gives me 5x the reaction speeds of a normal person, the Griffin mutation lets me slow time down by a factor of 10, and the Rock Troll mutation lets me think at 5x the speed of a normal person. The invisibility and intangibility and other powers are really just bonuses, and all I receive as a penalty is a weakness to salt and two metals. I imagine my character as a bodyguard/monster-hunter for hire. I wouldn't advertise my powers, and I'd move around every few years before people realize that I'm not even remotely human.

I picked the lewd instability choices more for fun than for optimization. I also intend to stay manticore form most of the time so I'm not sure how much that weakness would come to pass. Also if masturbation doesn't work I might just take a sterile sorceress companion or something for regular sexual relief or drag my nemesis around.

I asked before and the maker of the CYOA said yes, taking Manticore twice means your form is even further enhanced.

I'm not sure what else is there I might need. I wanted another strength enhancer but there's no mutagens that do it

Manticore form is said only that it's a true form with wings, a tail, and horns. I wanted to be really monstrous looking. However if not I suppose I can just use my wings to fly to areas that are hard to reach.

>Yourself

The most direct boost with great potential. Gives blindspot too. This cyoa is too hard, and the stakes are too high, but if you can succeed at all, this power seems to give the highest chances.

>Otherworlder

Something amazing and gamebreaking in theory, but kinda shitty in practice, It requires very high luck AND social skills to be useful.
Doesn't give you blindspot. Low chances.

>The Fool

The Mystery Box of an option. Doesn't give you blindspot, at least not automatically. High(?) chances.

>Xibalba

I can't see how it can meaningfully affect fights against corrupted divine lorefolks. Information gathering aspects might be decent in some other circumstances, but there are simply no ancient magical secrets for you to learn. Doesn't give you blindspot. Very low chances, absolute trash.

>Yggdrasil

Mobility and utility are neat. Doesn't give you blindspot. Medium chances.

>Avalon

If anything is worse than Xibalba here, then it is this power. If something like Talos ever hits you, you are paste. It's worse at healing than Rewind, a fucking spell. Laughable.

>Nothing

Intangibility is neat. Mobility is neat. Matter erosion is neat. Blindspot is neat. Medium-high chances.

>Source Code

One of the best powers here. It doesn't give you blindspot, and therefore it's somewhat worse than Yourself.

>Yin-Yang

It completely depends on how exactly powerful your buffs are. Doesn't give you blindspot. ??? chances.

>Library

Another case of amazing in theory, but most likely shitty in practice. It gives you blindspot. Low chances.

>Arrian

Meh.

>CYOA

It is potentially better than even Yourself if combos are indeed possible.

All in all, I don't like our chances without some serious plot armor, most of the options in the cyoa are too weak.

That is possible, but given the choice to become a powerful figure in a fantasy world, I'm surprised that "a monster eating mulch in the wilderness and raping the probably-few-in-number-and-low-in-appeal women who join bandit gangs" is very high on your list of desirable outcomes.

Also, 13, yes, not 18? Unless...oh, hm, I suppose one could hypothetically use the 'pick it again' wish option to pick the first level of the mutation track again. My word, that would have been a far stronger option in my own build. Feel as though it may not be intended, though; it would certainly make rather obsolete the specific comment in the 'free choice' usage that it also eliminates instability gain.

>>96011383

If talos hits you directly odds are you won't get to cast rewind either. Also rewind doesn't work well for healing after the time window has passed and it is not all that cheap either.
ALSO rewind is a 2cost spell.
