Yes.

A typo. It's supposed to be 9.25. The author never fixed the typo after all these years.

Normal cyoas make you rack your brain to get enough points for options you want. This cyoa makes you rack your brain to NOT get too many points lest they are cast into the void, wasted.

Finally, I have made a build with 10 in Stamina and Magic, allowing me to spam grand magic endlessly and boost my stats forever.

Battle, Intelligence, and Magic are everywhere while Stamina is sparce. It was very difficult to avoid getting any Battle, not overflow in Intelligence, and get Stamina to 10.

What do the attributes do, exactly? What is 4 strength? 5 intelligence? 7 skill?

>>96158355
4 strength is stronger than 3 strength.

>>96158386
Curses seems underrated to me. In a setting where being outed for using Dark magic would get you killed or worse, the most subtle Dark magic would let you actually USE your magic most often.

>>96158386

I made an intrigue build for this that was basically an innocent shouta focused on healing while pretending to be a newfag LFP. However, he has a dragonform that serves as alternate identity with the opposite personality as him, which he uses to hunt when solo. I don't know what it would be useful for though, lol.

I haven't told them anything, but like I said last thread it's not going as well as I would like. As an estimate, the races are 95% done, the follower types ~30%. At this rate I should be able to finish page 2 this month, but I don't think I will complete the third one by that time.

>amount of builds using bio-shifting

It's one of the few schools that will let (you) build an army, and has a lot of personal combat potential as well. Probably a good bit of healing, too.

Alternate thesis - we've got a lot of VtM players who really like the Tzimisce clan of vampires.

Ah, how that cookies crumbles lol.

Alright boys and girls, I think it's time we ask ourselves an important question.

Do we want Rake to:

A. do an update to Luminary.

or

B. Make a sequel.

Tell me your answers. Cuz we want more but *how* do we want more?

>>96159366
Yeah you are seen as werdly powerful for a newbie.
As all of you can grow in power with training.
Originally you would have been clearly much more powerful than anyone else but because so much time has passed there are many more powerful than you that have spent hundreds of years becoming stronger even if they started out much weaker than you.
And this strangeness also shapes how the characters will see you some with hope others as a threat to the current power structure that has to be crushed before you bring down the system that keeps people alive.

>>96159542
Try again in a setting without magic.

>>96159556
How does magic eliminate the need for trade? Eclan cannot engage with trade except with its direct neighbors, without said trade ultimately being under the direct control of said neighbor. If you, say, needed a resource from Flanere, then Murkin at the least will be able to heavily tax and even restrict or stop the import of this resource by Eclan. This is how countries become impoverished and lose wars. It's not like flying helps either, as that's going through Murkin's airspace, where they can be shot down easily.

>>96159542
It has giant river so it can trade with everyone on the map via smaller coast bound ships.

>>96159653
The giant river has to pass through Lotun and Clipsea's territory to reach the sea (which is far more valuable than upriver,) which can thus easily stop all of Eclan's trade. Eclan is at their mercy. Upriver trade can be stopped by Salns, Verend (which is obviously already doing that,) Enela, and Orchea. We have no idea what's beyond them if anything, it might just be mountains. You can't evade or sneak past river defenses like you can ocean patrols, it's too narrow for that.

>>96159542
>>96159572
Honestly probably true, water access is important. It does depend somewhat on what the greater world looks like however. If the world is not mostly water like our own, sea access becomes less important (though still important, if the meditterranean was blocked off at gibraltar it would still be massively helpful for trade).

Checking the map it looks like fantasy Switzerland, very defensive and surrounded by mountains, rivers and other nations. It does have two rivers that connect to the sea, one looking very large, so if navigable by boats that could be okay.

It also has three different nations (Welelah, Murkin and Paladia) between it and water so trade is not wholly under the control of one enemy nation either.

Still, the nation needs more living space and sea access must be secured for the future of our nation! Paladia is strong and rich and so can't be messed with. Welelah (whom the first river goes through) is a weaker mercantile country so they're probably the main trade partner and probably would not want to cut off trade to their wealthy powerful neighbor. The last option is Murkin, which is described as barren swamp no one cares about. Swamps do not tend to be infertile - the opposite actually - so getting our Netherlands on and developing polders and reclamation techniques would need considering.

Future actions would likely depend on the opinion of powerful Paladia and how happy they are with us expanding the realm into Welelah, vs what our surveys of Murkia indicate about the difficulty of taming the landscape. Honestly if Welelah *did* try to cut off trade that'd be a powerful cassus belli to use with Paladia and our own citizens ('we're not war mongering jerks, we have to take this country to prevent ourselves from being cut off again').

>>96159673
If we look at the map the likely course for the continent is likely to be:
>Paladia will eventually absorb the economically wealthy but militarily inferior coastal nations of Nelsland, Welelah, and Clipsea
>Flanere will ally with Lotun to resist Paladia
>Vinia will absorb the rural farmland of Orchea
>What happens with Eclan and other interior states is pretty much up to you
The future continental powers are going to be Paladia and to a lesser extent Vinia, purely based on their positions and military opportunity. Eclan just isn't positioned to do much, unless you marry Victor in personal union and become part of Paladia. That's really the only opportunity for female players, while the best males can do is get an easier conquest of Verend,which is an interior country and thus has poor prospects long term as well. At least you'd still be Eclan, though. Your other marriage opportunities, male or female, are lesser princes/princesses not in line to inherit, except for Hadew's (which is an even weaker nation in an even worse interior position,) since if I remember right Flanere's has an older brother. So Eclan doesn't really have any opportunities to expand via marriage, only submit to Paladia or annex Verend, which has no sea.
>Murkin
Male character's can marry a vinefolk chieftess, who are effectively rulers of this region. So theoretically you could unify the country through her (though this'd take work since she's ONLY a chieftess.) They still don't have sea access, though. Female players unfortunately only get a stone golem who 'rules' a bunch of ruins that are already in Eclan though, so sadly they don't get that kind of opportunity at all, he's pretty useless.

imagine if physicsfag met geographyfag

Any CYOAs in the vain of "A New Job," "Urban Unease," Boon of Mutations," "Home Intruder," "Nightmare Waifu," "Mental Illness Quest," "Supernatural Investigator," "A Night Run." or "A Night Ride"? Something esoteric/cosmic/melancholy/slight horror etc. At most 3 pages, if not it has to be REALL good like "The Hospital" or "Mansion of Many." Something I can play some lofi/dreamcore and it matches.

Looking at the Crystal Conduits, Eclan's halfway to having stable warp gates. Once you've got the fantasy equivalent of teleporters, is sea access really that important? Particularly since we can't rule out the existence of an Underdark/Hollow Earth scenario?

How are noobs supposed to compete in the Culling without getting instaganked by older Hunters that have tons of PvP experience? The author who made this really didn't think it through.

>>96160133
You're not supposed to compete. You're supposed to hide by digging a hole or something for the whole thing. At least that's what I think makes the most sense for "survival".

Anyway, just pay the exemption tax to be safe.

>>96160133
Is there any incentive to killing people during the Culling? If there isn't then why would anyone attack each other, it just guarantees that that the friends of whoever you killed will try hunting you down in every future Culling. Only a handful of sociopaths would do it.

Whenever he does actually go fight the dark he works best as support, setting up some shields and then just firing a whole lot of guns he pulls from nowhere. And when the monsters get close he hits them with everything from knives and woodaxes also pulled from nowhere to uprooted streetlights. After all this time I don't even know what his actual implement is."

Misdirection is the name of my long game. Nothing to see here, just a rookie sleepless who uses Spirit and Tech magic. Picking my fights and never openly showing my Space magic while using Physicality, Aero and Celerity only subtly. Lightning trained from Sera is my big gun for when I absolutely have to use it, otherwise it is stealth with mostly mundane weapons either store-bought or created by Tech (Novice Tech can create swords and guns right?). My power will grow very slowly and I will be hiding most of it as best as I can, but I have more than enough time and no needs to fulfill. I probably do not even need a day job or official papers since I do not require a residence to sleep in or much anything else.

I was not affected by the update aside from choosing a specialisation and having more variety in pretty much everything.But the whining shitposters really killed the discussion for me and made me not want to post my updated build. No sense in doing that if the only thing you hear is "waaah you immediately die because you don't have hundreds of behemoths at start and the whole world converges in a tri-goddess coalition to kill specifically you".

>>96158386
I might make a build later, but looking at it doesn't every specialization make the rest redundant? They all mention how you can literally kill people with a thought and blow away cities with your spells, at the end of the day they all do the same thing outside a few choices and it mentions a lot of time how you are practically impervious to damage even St your regular outfit.

>>96160371

You don't understand! He added a paragraph explaining magic! Like anyone other than one magicwhiner anon cares about a hard explanation for magic.

>>96160448
Ultimate Art: Continuous - "Destined Victory": a combination of spatial manipulation and my other schools to create a large zone of effects that help my allies and hinder my enemies, such as homing attacks for allies and anti-homing for enemies (Space), healing friends and possibly harming foes (Spirit), empowering friendly objects and sabotaging enemy ones (Tech), and using shielded hardlight to protect friends and block foes (Spirit + Radiant), as well as flashbangs, blinding auras, and possibly incinerating mundane targets (Radiant). None of this has to be massive - a hardlight pebble in the right place is worth a lot, as is a lack of fatigue, and an attack doesn't have to turn 90 degrees for homing to be effective. What makes this an Art as opposed to simply something I do with my magic is that it is largely automated, based on a semi-conscious thread of thought using constant Space-based scrying to scan for things of importance, and responding with appropriate minor uses of magic, meaning that I have some degree of awareness of everything it sees and does. Its origins as a form of spatial manipulation make it appear as a blob of magic encompassing everything and everyone within its zone without distinction, making it nigh-impossible to track its origin by traditional means. This zone is strongly non-uniform to avoid revealing its source, and I would only feed it magic when transformed, meaning it would run off of energy stored in its structure otherwise.
Patron: Gaia

Occupation: Law - Corporate would seem attractive here for making Destined Victory more effective, but that limits me to one target at a time and risks revealing me. My Patrons make me talented at law, and Spirit can ensure any friendly witnesses are at their best, so I can do more good there.

>>96160451
I am highly effective in direct combat due to high evasion (Space), high durability (Tech for armor, Radiant for hardlight, and Spirit for barriers) and extreme offense (Space + Radiant allowing for distance manipulation and absurd homing of high-damage beams, plus enhanced penetration to destroy a target from the inside). However, I presume this consumes energy fast, making Destined Victory and Tech-created drones a requirement for any sort of sustained conflict. I can hide my Dark speciality by only using it in combination with Light effects, making it look like a form of range extension and/or part of my Ultimate Art, which do break the rules a bit on their own. Teleportation can be disguised as Radiant-based by using flashes of light, and otherwise I just use Space in ways that make me look strong and skilled, but are fundamentally ordinary for Luminaries.

Despite that, the core of my build is Destined Victory, which can cause significant or even critical damage to the Corporations simply by targeting their facilities for a while. Serious equipment is both expensive and fragile, and I could do billions of dollars in damage in minutes, depending on the particulars of a location. This isn't a war to be won in pitched battle, but in undermining the enemy's ability to wage war.

My goal is to put down the creatures of Dark and the traitors who serve them, while also unshackling Luminaries and ensuring humanity won't become slaves to the Light, either, though a peaceful relationship with Light-aligned beings would be preferable.

>>96160451
This is just Curse with extra steps?

>>96160411
>>96160431
From what I gather it was mostly the elite stuff.
As I mentioned, my build was not affected by that. I picked two different races, had two of my units renamed and added two additional units. My overall strategy is still the same and the only problem I can foresee is the addendum at the very end: that the cataclysm's damage will recover given enough time, allowing the goddesses to use their full might in the world again.

>>96158386
Why the fuck is technology not dark magic? Isn't the coorpos using techmagic?

>>96160463
Yes, but I don't like Curse. For some reason, probability manipulation bugs me, even though I want similar results.

It's fair to say that I effectively discarded an Ultimate Art for an additional Master school. It's weaker than curse in a few ways, but stronger in others, plus it gives more selectivity.

The build would be better if I dropped Tech for Curse and changed its Ultimate Art, but as I said, I don't like it. Also, Curse can't have positive effects until it reaches Master rank, which would take a while.

There are some trap options in the CYOA and the author isn't even trying to hide them.

>Quickened Spells
You cast spells faster, but winning fights is about magical strength and having tons of magical energy so go and pick something that gives you more mana dummy.

>Hungry Magic
This lets you draw upon ambient magical energy to boost your magical reserves. But unfortunately this is just an inferior option to large reserves, choose again idiot.

>Shrouded Magic
Magic leaves traces normally, but your magic doesn't. However, determined trackers can still track you so you are stupid for choosing this option.

Nature itself tries to aid the user, responding to their will. The user's Flora magic seems to have a will of it's own, being autonomous and efficient, responding to their will and unspoken commands. Mushrooms sprout, flowers bloom, brambles reach and any plethora of other effects that the user would want are possible with a thought, and sometimes without, the magic attempting to be as helpful as possible. A curious side effect to this power is that animals and spirits associated with nature tend to respect and become more amiable to the user.

I struggled a lot to come up with an ultimate, and settled on this one. I don't really think i'm satisfied with it, but I wanted to at least get an updated build out for the new version. Same plan as before, i'm not necessarily on the side of light but I am absolutely against the corps and the evil in society. I serve as potent support, being capable of a staggering variety of effects through flora, pacts and supporting with spirit.

I chose my companions because I felt I could get along with them, Klaus could be a good friend, Junko needs a guide, and Iris feels a lot like me, all of them could be good allies to have. I'd probably bounce between teams and mentoring or helping people out, and I imagine the missions are in someehat chronological order, maybe with minor missions and training and stuff inbetween. I'm going to try to help people as best as possible, removing the devices instead of killing them, forcing the mental spirit out, etc.

I'll do my best. The world will become better, even if I must use force to make it so.

>>96160976
>Quickened Spells
not a trap: speed is just as important as magical strength or mana pool.
Having the first move and being able to attack before the enemy has a chance to defend themselves is very useful depending on the build
>INB4 "just take celerity"
the description of quickened spell already states that casting speed is a metaphysical speed, just because you move or think faster doesn't make you cast spell faster

>Hungry Magic
kind of a trap: it is mostly useless but in the rare places with leylines you might as well have near infinite mana, its the kind of quirk that is amazing to have in very specific places/situations but then again most of the time its just doing very little to help

>Shrouded Magic
trap option: very situational and very weak since you can still be tracked

I will also add as traps:

>>96160976
Shrouded magic is meant to be used to hide your dark actions. As long as you are careful enough, no one will think twice about your actions being magic and a dedicated tracker won't even be called. Yes you should be found if there's suddenly a huge crater in the middle of the city, but a casual murder or theft can easily be written off as the city being the city if the first scan shows no magic trace.

Pasille idolized the Hero for being a Gigachad Hero, but she wasn't a whore. Besides everyone knows that Arios is extremely toxic and abusive which is why the other ruling gods think about issuing a restraining order against him because he is still aggressively stalking and harassing Pasille.

>>96161157
>the description of quickened spell already states that casting speed is a metaphysical speed
This doesn't make any sense to me. Let's say someone attacks you and their attacks are really fast. Then you need reaction speed to be able to detect the attacks so that you can summon magical barriers to protect you.

>>96160045
None of those are ranged attacks except Fire which becomes about minions later on.

>>96161216
In that example, you start casting the spell earlier. The time between when you react and when the barriers go up is no faster, and the number of spells you can cast in any given period of time will be the same.

Funny, that's how I feel about Magi Case.

>>96161596
Agreed! Magi Case is a bizarre answer because it is barely related to magic at all. It has the groundworks for a potentially cool system but we know almost nothing about it and certainly don't care to make choices related to it.

My mistake, you are 100% a redditor.

>>96161672
It looks like it. The need to make sacrifices and struggle against overwhelming odds is foreign to these people. They just want power without any pushback. Just look at how 90% of PCA's Power Creator series' builds went straight for maximally powerful Aberrants.

>>96160397
They're just your main areas of power and something you have to work up to over years. Not to mention that even when you get there, other people will have specialties and sure, your defense is great, but it has limits. There's a decent amount of things in the city that can destroy city blocks. You ain't surviving that any time soon.

>>96161621
>>96161837

>>96160976
Are you stupid? Geniunely? It's like you've heard the concept of 'use case'. Quickened spells is good for an Assassin but not a bruiser, hungry magic is good if you're setting up a long term base of operations on a leyline but not in day to day battle, and shrouded magic helps you not be attacked on the regular and helps you hide from casual detection, which again, would help for an Assassin build.

I swear you people get dumber every day.

I actually rather like Luminary. On one hand it's limited strictly to combat, more or less, with some use cases if you're creative.

On the other hand, it kind of ignores or side steps the problem of "you can do anything" while still allowing us to grow stronger in our magic.

And best of all, it alludes to the fact that humans as a whole can get to that 'do mostly anything stage' via ritualistic magic, runes, and symbols. Basically witch type, written magic, spoken spells, and Enchanting.

It's just in a nice neat package without saying something stupid like "well alright, you can make Illusions" with no limits.

>>96158386
Hey so on the topic of luminary, I have close up attack, ranged attack, and a little bit of utility. But I have two points left and I'm not sure what to take it in. What are the must takes?

Okay let me go through every level 2 magic to see what the best supplement is. Existing powers Are Radiant Specialty, Shadow Specialty, Force Master, Celerity Master. If I do not list one, assume that it is already covered by my existing powers and thus I deem it useless.

Spirit adds better healing and shields presumably stronger than my hard light ones can make.

I'm already fast but Physicality grants me super strength and ability to tank explosions which means I could start fighting the US military.

Tech is good but at Adept level it seems not worth it + I don't like the aesthetic

Bioshifting myself has a lot of potentially interesting applications, but I'm not sure how useful it is. I can already fly and can already destroy things, I don't need natural weapons. If I wanted to be invisible or disguise myself I could just go for illusion right?

Illusion at adept level seems incredibly powerful. And like it has utility.

Yeah idk. It is between Physicality II, Bioshifting II, or Illusion II

It was the first tier list about the magic by someone that didn't read the CYOA or builds.

Sealing Magic and Defensive Magic can even target concepts like death and aging. Which is why Aozdou is immortal and has her own pocket world using Sealing Magic.

>Runecraft
It's basically word magic but using runes. It's limited to what words you use to make things happen, so not as powerful.

Alchemy in Magi Case can make magical artifacts, potions, homunculi creation, impact chemicals, make enchantments, change properties, etc. It is busted at its peak and btfo Technofags.

3. Separation of Equipment Section and more items.
4. Not enough quests to choose from, remove implied hidden quests from profiles.

>>96163031
maybe taking 3 of them is overkill, but taking 1 maybe 2 of them could be a big help depending on your build and which patron you have.

It's not like you are selling your soul or being forever tied to this deity, they can't take away the boon they gave you and if you don't complete your tasks you would only get on their follower's shit list at worst

>>96163031
Depends how powerful the bone mommy charms are.

>>96163075
I just mean not worth the effort of satisfying their requirements, not in a "they're going to soul rape you in hell 5ever" way. Like Yharum is only viable with Bio-Shifting, Ste've is going to have the same "makes you a tactical retard" issue ever berserker thing has, She is mostly just inferior stealth and inferior emotion reading to your magics, and Bone-Mother is some small boost to combat accuracy and object creation with very vague capabilities.

>>96161216
>>96161367
its a good way to balance the powers, as celerity is already a top tier power without it.

Also it doesn't make sense, celerity doesn't speed up EVERYTHING about you, it doesn't make you age faster, it doesn't accelerate your metabolism to the point you starve yourself and it doesn't speed up whatever soul bullshiterry makes magic happen

>>96163061
that's why I put in in "kind of trap" category, it is definitely a strong quirk, but:
A- you need to find and take over one of the few valuable leylines for yourself. Even if you aim for the leyline from the mission, the dark side already know exactly where it is and could target you at any time
B- the moment you step out of it, you lose this massive advantage. It might even be hard countered by domain ultimate arts depending on how exactly domains work

>>96162522
>>96162531
What is Italics even working on these days? Feels like I haven't seen him post a new CYOA in ages.

>>96163145

Personally I didn't like the whitewashing of the Convention and making all your educated choices in the previous edition and Blood Mage retroactively wrong. So I didn't like it and I didn't play it.

Eclan is terrible for conquest anyway. A small, elite force is just fine for defense, but for offense you need boots to occupy conquered territory and hold a defense line. Eclan cannot do that.

I don't think Terminus' questline invalidate the previous logic threads. It explains the borderline kleptomaniac tendencies of the Convention, but the moralist stance some of them uses still works.

>>96161157
None of these are supposed to provide you with that much of an advantage, compared to a Luminary with none of these you'd only be a little ahead. These are just quirks to flesh out a build, being a Luminary at all gives you all the firepower you could ever need.

>>96163324
>I don't think Terminus' questline invalidate the previous logic threads
Anon, it makes it so any of your plans to fix it just make shit worse and you're retarded for even trying. So yes, it does invalidate the logic threads, because every choice you can make is wrong except to keep the Convention reality rape going.

>>96163300
yeah but I'm a cute princess so it's okay! and besides history will remember me as the great princess that secured the future of Eclan!

Historically that doesn't happen outside of personal unions, but if you look at the marriage candidates there's nobody you can really marry that'll give you a personal union with your neighbors. None of them are the heir of their kingdoms.

>>96163312
Can't they? It's been a while since I've read the CYOA, but IIRC a few squads of magic knights equipped with the crystal dagger and backed with the warp crystal and pocket dimension crystal should be able to conquer most territories.

>>96163323
Go ahead and pretend Berserkers are useless anon.

>>96163356
It's not about defeating an army. Conquest requires occupation. Otherwise you get flanked, you get insurgency, you have rebellions. Your elites are too few to occupy territory. They'll win the battles but lose the war.

>>96163352
>None of them are the heir of their kingdoms.
I guess we could kill the current spouse and children of whoever is the heir and then marry them

just... uh... don't let them find out...

>>96163332
Why do you think that? The mana tax is fine and all, but it's pretty obviously a bandaid solution born of desperation. Not even a secure one, since people can steal the ressources itself.
Surely you can conjure up a better plan/story to beat Entropy Personified than "Bro, let's put all the mana in the omniverse in the same place, making it easier to destroy it in one go."

>>96163389
Because the last time someone came up with a plan to fix the problem, the CYOA got rewritten to make it bad evil wrong and a trap and the Convention got whitewashed to be in the right all along and fuck you anyone who made a build for the CYOA before.

Someone should come up with some proper synergous archetypes for cape teams.
Can't use the healer/tank/dps rollout because healing is not an iconic superpower.
But the iconic types don't have any obvious gameplan. People have used the justice league as a template, but it's not clear what the role of a 'speedster' or a 'flying brick' is in a team.

How do team battles usually play out in cape media? Don't they usually split up and fight the villain most similar to themselves in one-on-one fights?

1. Evoco is literally confirmed in the CYOA to have a penis to rape women with during their murder-cannibalism-rape festival.

2. You have other actual evil women in the CYOA like Elspeth or Galileo

>>96163399
No, the issue was that Diabolism was a free solution to all the problems presented, meaning that picking Purist or even moralist choices was objectively wrong and Adversary was right about everything and justified in all their actions. The cyoa basically presented choices only to make half of them seem irrelevant at the end.
In the new version, Diabolism still is theoretically a permanent solution, the issue is that a theoretical permanent solution now isn't viable in the short term, meaning that the other choices do matter now and killing planets is an actual choice you have to consider.

>>96163450

What you want out of team roles is for members to have special responsibilities that others can't do as well.
Has any superhero team ever said "we need a speedster, without a speedster on the team we can't do such-and-so"?

>>96163489
Self-respecting man in /cyoag/?

>>96163448
Anon, what about this post >>96163290 did you not understand? The issue is the new version retconning the previous one and making it clear that Tankista wants the Convention to be in the right, screwing over players of Blood Mage and the previous version of Magocratic Convention. This proves that he could and would retcon anything anyone decides to do besides Convention orthodoxy, it's the author's will they be correct.
>>96163472
Diabolism is not a viable choice in the current version. It's been changed to be unambiguously a trap. So again, the issue isn't that it got given a downside, but that it's been made a choice only a retard would take. Now it's not that Purist is objectively wrong, but Diabolism is objectively wrong, which is the same exact problem.
>>96163494
More like not a valid choice at all.

>>96163472
Anon was very proud that he had 'won' the cyoa by choosing the rebel faction, and is now annoyed his meta build got nerfed.

Anon, a nerf is an equalization, ideally. Being made a trap option is not a nerf.

>>96163503
The text mentions that it can still be used to create infinite mana, solving all shortage issues. The only problem is that you now have to deal with more a more pressing problem before you can put that into practice.
So taking Adversary adjacent choices is for after you get rid of the world ending threat.

>>96163480
She is literally eating the Galileo founder out alive from the inside. She also rebirths humans into monster horrors from the cosmos and has a cult following.

Lovecraftian gods are evil.

>>96163494
It's not that it was an easy win, they mention that it already was producing infinite mana, meaning that the entire rest of the cyoa is pointless, just pick it up and no need to get mana from anywhere as long as you don't start a civil war.

>>96163503
The part where you think the Convention is somehow whitewashed in v2?
They're still the same authoritarian assholes slurping up universes and making more problems than solution. We already knew it was for that End Times mission back in v1, and having more information doesn't justify shit.

No, it says that Eclipse ruined the convention plans with all the Blood Magic drama, however we also know that a lot of the policies they take are stupid and wasteful, you still have to fix the convention before it can actually do things. And Adversary did sucked in their goal of creating a infinite mana source, after you deal with the ends of time no more planet will need to be destroyed anymore.
While not perfect now there's not an unambiguously correct path.

>>96163542

>He made it so their actions are objectively correct or the entire multiverse will be destroyed. That's whitewashing. Now all that 'authoritarian asshole' behavior is the only alternative to death.
Their actions are ensuring a solid chunk of the omniverse are sacrificial lambs for a plan that might fail to fix a problem they most likely created, as the current host of Sargon is Terminus.
If anything everyone is presented in a bad light now.
And I'll repeat myself here, but nothing prevents you from writing a story where you don't need to sacrifice 75% of the omniverse. Use magical girl, steal magic back from negentropy, jailbreak Sabbath, assemble all omniarchs like the Avengers, do a Basilia-type ritual that help you fight across versions, reproduce the Entities from the defunct Worm world - really, the only limits are your imagination, and I cannot understand how you can be so adamant about being railroaded as the OMNIARCH.

>>96163686
Because the CYOA says it was a mistake.

>>96163659
>Create infinite energy machine
>No, they ruined everything!
Of course the Convention will paint them as being all wrong while they themselves say it was perfectly justified. They did a good thing that had negative consequences they didn't actually know of, just like the convention ruined their home planet by draining it of mana, something they are so I'm denial about that the choice to actually stop them from doing it tanks your reputation with all the factions.

This gives people completely wrong idea of them. You make it sound like all of reality is Azathoth's dream.

I consider this a common misconception, since I haven't seen it stated anywhere in all of Lovecraft's works, not even once. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong if you can point out the exact paragraph where it's established as fact, or at least suggested. If I somehow forgot about it, or better yet, miraculously haven't read it, that's fine.

I don't think gaining power/memories from eating flesh and regenerating from flesh works very well for anyone without the Bio-Shifting school to actually get that stuff in your mouth. Are you walking around with a flaying knife to dress your foes after every battle? How are you storing the stuff?
>SheWho
She boosts stealth, but notice how she only stops you from being physically tracked. She doesn't protect from magical tracking at all, which is the bigger issue for a caster since you're leaving magic traces everywhere. Her other thing is just tracking people who are scared of you.

>>96164882
Eating flesh and whatnot works fine for casters. The stealth one is actually really good for summoners or supporter caster types since it means youre less likely to be attacked in combat.

>Eating flesh and whatnot works fine for casters
It works fine for people with Bio-Shifting. Without Bio-Shifting it isn't viable at all.
>since it means youre less likely to be attacked in combat
It specifically notes it does not work well in combat.
>>96164896
How are you going to engage in summoning, support, or other forms of thought while you are raging and thus completely incapable of planning, restraint, or logic? There's nothing even stopping you from beating an enemy with your Wand rather than the more effective Flame blast you can do or whatever, because you are in a berserk rage.

>>96164913
>Without Bio-Shifting it isn't viable at all.
That's very dramatic and wrong.
>It specifically notes it does not work well in combat
But it does still work.

>>96164923
>That's very dramatic and wrong.
How are you obtaining and storing the flesh?
>But it does still work
Not well, which means it's not very good. You can argue a technicality here but being bad isn't much better than non-functional in the context we're talking about (judging if they're good for casters.)

>>96158386
My only problem with this how powers are separated and how you can't get more than one Specialization in a side.

>>96164932
One of the contacts has three Specialization-tier schools and you're noted to be able to get beyond Specialization tier eventually. So with that knowledge I think you can eventually get more Specializations than you start (with the talent for since none of this is instant) with, it'll just take more time. Get to Master in the other Light school so you're better positioned for that.

>>96164913
*Sigh* Berserkers use their most powerful abilities, a caster berserker is still going to use their spells over melee. I get that you hate berserkers but stop pretending that there is no time and place for a boost of pure power over clear tactical thought.

Even if you think so, anon, how does that apply to summoning or support? Or using your spells smartly? All of that requires thinking, which you can't do while raging.

>This question is so obvious
I already addressed mundane flesh-obtaining and storing >>96164882
>Are you walking around with a flaying knife to dress your foes after every battle? How are you storing the stuff?
You can't use it in battle, you have to messily carve up people and monsters after battle, and you need to cart a cooler around with you stuffed full of raw meat. Or if you have the storage quirk, but not every caster automatically has it anymore than they automatically have Bio-Shifting.

That is literally not how it works. No other Luminary had access to Dark magic. Period. The dark they burned away was the chaos of their human nature, not magic.

>>96164975
I can see you will ignore obvious application to doompost and deny anything contrary. Sucks, don't use them if you hate them so much.

The stealth power of shewho isn't a combat buff anyway. But it has crazy utility in an urban fantasy setting. It doesn't really come into it's own if you don't also have the shrouded magic quirk but that isn't so bad.

Talk about moving the goalpost. First it's "it doesn't benefit casters" and now you are assuming all casters are summoners and support. A berserker ability benefits DPS types including casters. So yea the lightning damage specialist benefits more than a sonic support specialist.

The person I replied to talked about how they were a support/summoning caster and I asked how they benefited them.

The other luminaries are limited to tier 4
Most of the pure would probably be great spirit level if they weren't being blocked, the reason they have multiple tier 4's is that they should have a tier 6

So where did you state this super obvious method you keep alluding to?

Yeah, Star Runners too. I guess 5 total.

>>96165073
Those are all the replies to me after I asked this question:
>>96164929
>How are you obtaining and storing the flesh?
Related to the flesh eating. Nobody else who replied to me was talking about the flesh eating. So no, nobody was 'selectively' ignored.

>>96165073
Doom cuck was super annoying back during the Spirit Conscript days.

>>96165084
>doomcuck is now goalposting even harder

Thank you this has been a riot. Is your meltie over or are you going to keep crying about patrons and then ignoring the actual points telling you otherwise?

>>96165095
Yes anon I get it, you're baiting at this point out of boredom because you ran out of arguments.

>>96165103
I accept your concession, doomcuck.

wheres the 2-floor apartment option so I dont have the hear the fridge when I'm sleeping

>>96165121
The post chain you're replying to is specifically and only about Yharum's, not the others. The issue with Yharum's isn't that it doesn't WORK for you, it's that getting the flesh is difficult for people without Bio-Shifting.

>>96165131

What kind of shitty ass fridge do you have?

>>96165121
>Bone-mother's guidance isn't limited to melee
It's limited to attacks with your Implements. Won't help with spells. It says it guides the Implement, not your spells.
>Shadows is absolutely amazing for any dark magic caster
Except it doesn't hide your dark magic casting, it only conceals you from mundane means of tracking, like video or smell, not from magic signature.

>>96165130
>Please stop being a retard and shut the fuck up
Ironic

Anon cannot think critically about option please forgive doomcuck-san.

>>96165145
To get technical it says the "movements" of your implement not it's "attacks", therefore it benefits the casting movements of staves/wands.

Uh so does the apartment come bare? or is this just to upgrade the default furniture. Because 10k is not enough to fully furnish an apartment.

Softie...

>>96165145
>It's limited to attacks with your Implements. Won't help with spells. It says it guides the Implement, not your spells.
"All Implements can channel your magics in their own ways." They impart properties to your spells because they're a part of casting them.
>Except it doesn't hide your dark magic casting, it only conceals you from mundane means of tracking, like video or smell, not from magic signature.
Absolutely true, which is why taking the Shrouded Magic or the Plain Regalia is better. It's still very useful for setting up your various magics without getting caught, though, and for avoiding surveillance in general. Also, in combat it's far more useful. Avoiding getting attacked is far more useful for squishy casters, which is why it's so helpful.

Where do you live?

>>96165194
This CYOA was probably written before the economy kerploded

>>96165203
Kitchen appliances and couches and lamps are expensive no matter where you go, but for the record I live in a suburb outside of ~70th most populated city in the united states.

>another casters vs martials argument
You're all magical men. Aren't you all technically casters?

>>96165237
Yes we are. Shitposter anon probably specifically chose caster v martial on purpose though hoping to bait anons. Thing is his arguments don't have a leg to stand on.

>>96165194
10k will do fine

time to start a new thread

If anon really wanted to make a casters are underpowered v martials argument in this CYOA he should focus on the way the level scaling works such that even devastating offensive abilities are ineffective against those with high enough defense. Thing is only a few of the defensive options are truly locked to martials but still building a classic glass cannon mage is a dubious proposition.

He should make the opposite of the magical girl cyoa.
A short 1 pager meme cyoa about a mundane dude going on mundane adventures in a mundane world.
You can be female too, but the CYOA will go out of it's way to mention how strange it is since women are rare in the world, like needing a squad of heavily armed simps to keep you safe from incredibly desperate men.

I think the idea of reality being Azathoth's dream originated from some of the early post-Lovecraft writers.

Personally, I think it's a misinterpretation of Lovecraft's work. At some point (I don't have the exact reference handy), Lovecraft said that if Azathoth ever woke up, it would mean the end of reality. I read the line to mean that Azathoth would actively destroy the universe, if he/she/it ever woke up. Not that existence is a dream (which is more Elder Scrolls territoryl.

>>96163542
>Lovecraftian gods are evil.
Lovecraftian gods are generally* too alien to be "good" or "evil". They are generally bad for humans, though, as they're alien enough that even if they are trying to help, they don't have the understanding to intervene in a helpful way.

*excluding Nyarlathotep, who is a sadistic and twisted nightmare.
