Listanon here. I have made a list of every build in chronological order through searches of the imgchest link and "ultimate art", so I have probably found every build except the possibly ones that did not reply to the cyoa nor wrote "ultimate art". Please link to the cyoa when posting builds.

I did not make the previous list, the build ratings, or the Corpo Raid Dungeon.

Why is this unironically successful

>>96182085
Your name shall hence forth be "Somebodies Knows".

>>96182128

>>96182128
I am surprised you found out which build I was. Ah well, time to hide even more.

>>96181974 (OP)
What does "These can't be taken away from you by your Patrons, though their flow of power can be cut off if you displease them" mean? Can you power the boons yourself if they cut you off? Otherwise, in what sense do you keep the boons?

>>96182108
I'd say it's anon's long fascination with being the little girl, but only like four people ended up making girls.

>>96182177
Patrons can grant you power. This power boost gets bigger or smaller depending on how much they like you. The boons are independent of this power boost and remain even without it.

>>96182108
Magical girls are everything we want to be.

>>96181986
>build ratings
It's shit.

>>96182361
Criticize a rating for a build that's not yours.

>>96182369
You'd never know if he was criticizing his own, though.

>>96181997
Hey anon, good work but I made two builds (Golden Knight and SPECTRE) and it looks like you only posted Golden Knight (but labeled it SPECTRE)

>>96182369
NTA, but it's shit. I didn't even make a build so you know I'm not whining about mine being poorly rated.

>>96182200
One of them was Tok. If you made a girl build, you're just like Tok.

.>>96182286
Magical girls are everything I want to rape. don't wanna be one, though.

>>96182663
Rape is a harmful fantasy.

>>96182369
NTA and it is for my build (Golden Knight) but he is factually incorrect in part of my review. He thinks my patrons are incompatible by saying "one wants you to not kill people, the other wants you to kill people". I can only assume he means Gaia and Old Bone Mother. First for Old Bone Mother it isn't strictly "people" you need to kill but life. Obviously exterminating a ton of evil monsters counts. While Gaia isn't "don't kill people" but "save mankind from extinction", which would allow for me to kill say some corpos in the pursuit of saving mankind.

TLDR: Build anon has no grasp on subtlety

>>96182369
He massively undervalues celerity or any physical/defensive school as a survival tool almost every single time. Take for example Blah vs Actual Musician, blah has much more investment in defensive schools and is far less likely to get speed-blitzed but Actual musician is still considered a higher tier in survival? For an even more aggregious example consider Urchin who has every defensive option, danger sense and some speed but is given D rank survival.

>>96181974 (OP)
dragonchads? we won
forehead girl is ours

forgot picrel

>>96182717
Much has been said about how valuable celerity is, but the extreme defenses granted by physicality also deserves some more specific attention. Specialized level there means you are tough enough that no conventional weapon can even hurt you! The upper limit of conventional weapons is already fairly high on the combat scale. Then add on the fact that there is a huge difference between not being hurt at all, and being seriously endangered.

>>96182758
Physicality + Bioshifting is also an often neglected combo, so long as your warping yourself physicality should still apply so the schools naturally synergise.

>>96182782
There is some synergy there yes, but it might just be additive rather than multiplicative. If I had to make these choices based just on the cyoa description, I would take phys+celerity as a safer choice.

>>96182782
The real question on bio shifting is how it interacts with our outfit

>>96179875
Analysis: I really like your solutions to rooms 1-4, the heavy use of force magic allows for some fairly unique solutions and avoiding some obstacles.

I think you would likely run into ome trouble in room 5 when trying to use space magic to get through, seems like a classic corporate espionage strategy and something they would notice and sound the alarm over, you get through but not without the alarm being raised.

I think room 6 will be a real problem in its opening, I doubt that your more mundane cultists will be able to handle the traps straight out of the portal so your looking at 50-75% casualties here.

Your going into room 7 with a likely significantly reduced force and I feel like your massively underestimating how strong the boss is, given the alarm has been raised she's also likely to be on gaurd your probably only scraping by through sacrificing the remaining grunts on your side and running for it.

I think with a teleport into a cleave you can completely cripple the ritual but I think they manage to hold you down with their eseoteric abilities long enough to kill you. You succeed the mission crippling the corps but fail to live to see the better world you create.

>>96182177
If I understand it correctly - and I'm not sure I do - the boons are (your) "signing bonus" for siding with a particular patron. They can and will do more if (you) further their causes, but the boons are (your) "welcome basket".

>>96182882

>>96182887

>>96182893

>>96178909
Anything preventing you from just throwing bombs at this problem until it goes away? You could just pile up a huge amount of (possibly tech augmented) explosives and destroy the entire building. Even if the building is somehow too magically reinforced you could destroy the foundation on which it stands. A bit of collateral damage should be acceptable when dealing with a thread of this magnitude.

The spatial fuckery seems like something that would require the building and/or leyline access to function, but even if it does not, you could just throw "enough" bombs through the portals of each level before entering.

>AI art
>Longer lifespan but no eternal youth
I don't know what angers me the most

>>96181997
I know Gloria (Napoleonic Sniper) was a bit bummed when I didn't rate her build for the tournament due to her first post misunderstanding the rules. So here's a quick analysis of how I think a Gloria V Horrible Sea Urchin Monstrosity (HSUM) would go.

If Gloria is smart she stays at range and tries to whittle HSUM down with gun fire. Speced in celerity I believe she can (HSUM only has mastery but his battle form likely gives some boost, and his danger sense is going to improve his reaction times), however spec celerity is togglable and mana intense so she has to be careful. I believe Gloria would have the initiative for the duration of the battle and HSUM would be reactively trying to catch her. IF Gloria is strong enough to kill him I believe she would, but he is so tanky it may not be possible. In all likelihood I see a stalemate occuring and one or the other retreating if the battle starts to turn against them (likely Gloria realizing she is running out of mana and can't put HSUM down). And honestly both of them have Gaia so there would have to be a phase 2 if it was to the death. This isn't so surprising as even in lore it says Luminary's absolutely wail on each other because they are so hard to kill. In a true locked cage match to the death I believe HSUM would outlast Gloria, but we are talking about a truly contrived scenario that invalidates Gloria's battlefield control that would almost certainly enable a tactical retreat.

>>96182924
I also found it strange that the whole thing takes just a year (in Guardians it was 50 years).

>>96181986
Anyone pick Ste've yet? I want to tease them about having a patron with such a human name.

>>96182905
The real problem is it's obviously a D&D encounter and most of our builds aren't set up that way. Real world most of us would have strategies to bypass floors, blow up the building, not have to deal with hiding our dark magic, etc. It's contrived.

>>96182864
Man you're a shitty DM.

>>96182953
Guardians is an apocalyptic war that was supposed to lead into ScottishAnon's big crossover cyoa. Battle of Dreams is just a boundary dispute between the fae and some witches.

(I hope the author releases the witch side soon. Several of the covens interest me.)

>>96182905
If we are talking about Dark God awakening, nukes are on the table.

>Techfags can make regular mundane handguns pierce steel WALLS (not plates, WALLS) at Adept level
So what about something more powerful like an assault rifle or .50 cal anything? Shred Physicality masters to bits?
Imagine link rel in a Tech ADEPTS (not masters, not specialists, ADEPTS) hands, they'd unironically destroy everyone.
https://youtu.be/Cybgj3i7x88

>>96182974
Yes I know, but I think it's bit lame that it's just a "boundary dispute". Can't really make long term plans with that scenario.

>>96181974 (OP)
Lore question for Luminary. Who imprisoned the Dark (and Gaea) on Earth? The way the description is worded, it sound like the Light found Earth after it became a prison world.

>>96183002
I did.

>>96183002

>>96183002
Not Rake but Light and Dark are all across the universe so the light that imprisoned the Dark God's could be of a different (likely much older) group from Hashmillim, Remiel, and Urist.

>>96183002
I'll take Zelda and Samus

>>96182993
>steel WALLS
Yes, adept tech allows handguns to pierce steel walls (note that it does not say how thick the walls are though!). Adept physicality allows your skin to "easily endure point-blank explosives". It is not even clear if adept .50 cal would shred an physicality adept.

>>96183000
Well, since the Knights of the Greensward are participating, maybe there's some secret angle we don't know about.

>>96183025

>>96183021
>I'll take Zelda and Samus
You still have 2 harem points left. Any other slave Leias catching your eye?

>>96183032
No

Anyone have that reincarnated in the modern world cyoa? Where like being european cost points

>>96183025
>clock keeper
A classic.
I'm getting 2 debts with the first three obligations.

So:
Spiritualism 3
Binding 2

Passport

>>96183022
>note that it does not say how thick the walls are though!
Do we have to argue about how thick steel needs to be for it to go from plate or frame to wall? Body armor steel plates are obviously right out, a steel "wall" should be at high tank armor thickness at absolute minimum. "Point-blank explosives" should be around C4/HE RPG level, and the latter can penetrate most tank armor.

In other words, Tech adepts can give every round of a handgun the penetrative power of a high-explosive RPG grenade. The same Tech adept giving an equivalent boost to even an assault rifle, much less any .50 cal firearm, would SHRED Physicality adepts.

>>96183097
>Do we have to argue about how thick steel needs to be for it to go from plate or frame to wall?
My point is that it is a vague description. It could mean normal wall thickness except made of steel (in which case it is very impressive), or it could mean a normal steel wall (less impressive since those tend to be made thin). There is similar vagueness on the physicality side in that it does not say how large the explosions are.

We also don't know if the bonus from Tech is fully multiplicative and scale up to heavy weapons. The mastery Tech description indicate that your estimates might be rather optimistic.

>>96183071
nice build, really liked the part where you explained your choices and plan

>>96182108
I made three builds for it, there's plenty viable choices, the universe is easy to get and you aren't really railroaded into a narrative. Also, it has a manageable size.

>>96183130
NTA, but it seems pretty obvious to me. Spiritualism 3 for a bodyguard against the imminent threat (better hope that it happens to be close by).
Binding 2 is pretty powerful for a level 2 power, and has good long term potential.
The first 3 obligations probably have low direct costs to you yourself, so makes sense if you are willing to screw over the rest of the world.
Long term travel plans, or just being able to escape from earth after screwing over this world with the obligations (passport).

>>96181287
correction, i eventually become a dragon when i grow strong enough, essentially, its what i turn into instead of becoming a pure when i get to that level and start to overuse my ult's higher settings

>>96183097
Your seemingly forgetting the first rule of the magic system which is that things are generally balanced, it makes no sense for a generalist school like tech or bioshifting to be able to trivially destroy a specialist school like physicality against its speciality.

>>96183344
That doesn't change anything. The whole reactor thing is outside of a continuous as well.

name: LAZAR THE LORD OF FEASTS (pic related)
race: lizardman

type: conqueror
subtype: strategist

races: lizardmen, beasts, automatons
traits: sea raiders, monument builder, industrialize, promotion, scrying, adaptability
drawbacks: lustful, contentious, monstrous menagerie, honorable

units
basic
automatons: peon, fodder, skirmisher, berserker (skirmishers and berserkers will be centaur shaped and can carry the peons on their back for greater mobility)
medium
lizardmen: phalanx, sharpshooter, stalker, sapper, artisan, alchemist, concubine, centurion
automatons: artillerist, monstrous mount 1/2
beasts: monstrous mount 1/2 (pretty much all giant lizards and hydras)
elite
lizardmen: slayer, magic archer, wraith, vanguard, strategos

starting location: amber coast

as an overlord with many under my command, it is my duty to lead and uplift my people to greatness, as such i chose to be a strategist instead of a tyrant or warlord
my armies are structured in a way that we form an iron bulwark which no force is able to breach, and are accompanied by cavalry forces in flying columns able to crush any opposition through repeated cycle charging and ranged assaults
my people may be, rambunctious, having both lustful and contentious, but im sure i can handle it if i just build them amenities like brothels and fighting rings while forbidding things like rape and murder, and aside from all that, they make for excellent builders, innovators, and sailors/shipwrights, as such it will only be a matter of time before we completely oust the goddesses from the land, skies, and seas

>>96183439
what would the reactor fall under then, utility?

>>96181986
>>96181997
All raped btw

>>96183454
I would still say second form. It's essentially the core of an empowered body

>>96183493
Anon... those are 99% men...

>>96183454
>>96183497
Or in other words it can't be present ALL the time, it has to be temporary.

>>96183507
Magical twinks are rapeable.

>>96183497
its not really supposed to be such, its main purpose is to give my speedster more energy sustain, the dragon thing is just a side effect for when i reach the level or beyond the level of a pure

>>96183548
I'm not Raikiri, but maybe add some additional clarification that the dragon mutations have negligible impact on your physical and magical abilities. That way it will be very clear that you aren't trying to get a second form ulti for free.

>>96183575
so just say that the horns and tail are purely cosmetic basically, which they are in truth

>>96183593
Not just the horns and tail. The "i become fully engulfed by lightning and become a dragon" end state as well.

>>96183606
That can just be a spell surely?

>>96183606
thats, again, something that happens when i reach the level of a pure and shed my human form, what the frig is the problem with having a different end state to other magical girls, apolyon friggin grew wings on her head and i cant become a dragon?

>>96183623
Unless I missed something, it is not stated that apolyons wings made her significantly more powerful. Stating that the dragon transformation is no more powerful than a normal pure mutation might be ok as well.

>>96183628
that i can live with, i figured it was obvious but i guess im not smart enough to realize it isnt

>>96183631
Ultimate art:
> Continuous: Jikuu-Raikou-Ryuu: combines my schools of lightning, space, and time together to form a powerful magical fusion engine within my body that gives me a continuous feed of energy, however the higher the output of the engine the more damage i take from its energies
> as i grow i become able to create and sustain higher levels of output while taking less or at times no damage, ever onward as i slowly approach becoming a lightning dragon
> has a side effect of giving me a glowing electrical aura and growing small electrical horns when used, growing to full horns and even a tail and scales at higher more damaging settings, these are purely cosmetic however as i grow some of these changes start becoming permanent and appearing at lower and lower settings, until i become fully engulfed by lightning and become a dragon when i reach the level of a pure, this form doesnt make me stronger, it just signifies that ive finally become something on the level of a pure and shed my human form
better?

Figured I'd get around to actually doing this properly. The build seeks to be a living network of shapeshifting machines. Nanites are the glue of this build, I use everything else through them as my Implement and technically my Outfit. I am both of these things. Nanites deal with some of the main issues with tech: Build time and resources. With the ability to build things at a rapid pace I'm quite versatile and adaptable. It also allows me to be in multiple places at once so long as it's within soul gem range, I can hide it away underground of I feel like.

This allows me to be disposable, taking normally lethal damage is perfectly acceptable since my soul gem is elsewhere and one of the other clumps of nanites I usually scatter around the battlefield can self replicate until I have just as many nanites as before. That or it's a biodroid I built with (not out of) my nanites and it's disposable anyway.

Bioshift is incredibly synergistic with this as it shatters the line between nanites and cells, dealing with a lot of the problems traditional nanotech has with power, fragility, and building. Sacrifice works well with it as I can be made of essentially nanoblood as I am both machine and biological. This allows me to RAPIDLY recharge if I take time to cycle through harvesting material from the environment, self replicating, and sacrificing chunks of my swarm to recharge my mana.

>>96182966
I just provided suggestions of places where the strategy could fail. The only thing you could say I added post hoc were the 5th floor wards and even those are simply reasonable deductions of what they could have in place. Where does the flaw in my DM'ing abilities come about?

>CYOA where you get to pick a goal
>Harder goals give more points
what's the point I'm always going to pick what gives me more points

>>96183739
Next is spirit, I'm using this one in a bit of an unorthodox way, mental analysis, not mind control, but programming and psychology. Self mind editing like an AI. Between this, Bioshift, tech, and my nanites as a medium I can also pull a Soulkiller ala cyberpunk on mooks or defeated opponents, gaining their memories a copy of their personality for superior infiltration and information gathering.

Space is for a very narrow application to do with the magnum opus (tech specialist) and combat form (Bioshift specialist) it's a pocket dimension device. I'll put my soul gem in a fortified pocket dimension filled with reactors, computers, and fabricators. With this I can extend my range by creating portal generators that open to the dimension with miniscule portals, essentially acting as a "soul gem" for that particular area.

Shrouded magic is very important for this kind of build particular since I'll usually be right under the noses of the enemy as I replace members of their group. I'll also be stealing technology and genetics, using them to further my own upgrading cycle.

Seems like what happened is that a Light group found Earth way back when it was a lava ball and sealed the four Dark gods inside of it, and Gaia with them as their jailer. They then left. Then over the course of the next 3-4 billion years, life evolved on the planet and Gaia as a consequence when completely native. So when another Light group stopped by, Gaia used her experience with humanity and presumably her reputation as an unfathomably ancient spirit to beg them to give humans a chance rather than wiping them out. This eventually resulted in the Luminary program, but the new Light group used their own agents to set it up and monitor it, cutting Gaia out for the most part. Probably either because she was part of a different/faction group (so it's just interfaction ego) or they're suspicious of her for actually caring about life.

Name: Raikiri
Gender:
> Female cause i dont give a shit
Outfit:
> Witch like: Shrine maiden, free aptitude point and faster learning, i went with shrine maiden cause it was the best one that fit with a sword (also pinterest wasn't being helpful)
implement:
> Blade: Eastern sword, fairly standard fare, fits with the outfit, is razorsharp, possibly monomolecular edge (but stiff so it actually cuts stuff) with incredible sword geometry, and pretty durable to boot, hopefully i dont find out why its only “practically” indestructible

Schools:
> Lightning spec, electromagnetic propulsion and lightning bolts/swords, oh and i get to summon a storm that empowers me and regens my mana and stuff, what's not to love
> Celerity spec, ultra high speed, better senses, and ludicrous reaction times needed for going hyper sonic, i have become a female netero kek
> Space master, i get to teleport, i get to telefrag stuff, i get to warp space for distance shrinking and attack range increase or avoiding attacks or even sending them back, oh and i get to shrink or expand the size of just about anything, letting me do things like cutting cells or creating wind storms with my speed, it's all great
> Time master, time bubbles and stops, nuf said

Perks:
> Twin implements: sword boost, an increase in my swords abilities and cutting potential, dont mind if i do
> Gifted, i would have gone with something else but i was convinced of this perks usefulness, especially as i can learn all kinds of speed increasing tricks from other schools like reducing air resistance with aero, or just utility stuff like summoning lightning elementals to fight for me to deal with weaker opponents
> Talented, as an avid sword user of course im going to pick the perk that increases my talent and learning speed with the blade, it'll likely also improve my ability to utilize combat magic alongside it as well

>>96184005
also rapebait

>>96184005
Ultimate art:
> Continuous: Jikuu-Raikou-Ryuu: combines my schools of lightning, space, and time together to form a powerful magical fusion engine within my body that gives me a continuous feed of energy, however the higher the output of the engine the more damage i take from its energies
> as i grow i become able to create and sustain higher levels of output while taking less or at times no damage, ever onward as i slowly grow
> has a side effect of giving me a glowing electrical aura and growing small electrical horns when used, growing to full horns and even a tail and scales at higher more damaging settings, these are purely cosmetic however as i grow some of these changes start becoming permanent and appearing at lower and lower settings, eventually when i mutate to become the equal of a pure, i will transform completely into a lightning dragon, shedding my human form in the process, not that it will make me stronger than a pure, just a different kind of entity

Patrons:
> Urist, i can remember every lesson ive learned from all my battles and project them to either show/teach others with or to learn new things I didn't notice before, also, being able to see out of reflections and Urist’s symbols can be quite useful, especially if i polish my ornaments to a shine and write some Urist symbols across my body and clothes, oh and no information overload is great so i can push celerities sense to a whole new level without risk
> Remial, a suite of senses like illusion sight and sin sight, and i get visions of future battles i can learn from and even project using urist, great stuff
> Old Bone Mother, while it's tempting to learn the blade all on my own, having my movements target vitals and weaknesses while also piercing defences much easier is quite literally a godsend at times, oh and being able to take trophies can also be useful depending on what powers i get from them, maybe ill end up filling my abode with them as well just cause

>>96184028
Day job:
> Official, what better job for a shrine maiden than a civil servant, my speed can help me get through mountains of paperwork, my memory can help me remember everything i need to fill out or keep in mind, etc

Contacts:
> Junko, a spirit magic and fellow blade user, i can learn a lot by fighting with and alongside her, like interesting new uses for each of my magics, also her healing can make training much more effective
> Sylka, a ranged support specialist and a powerful ice mage, definitely someone i would want watching over my back, although she’ll probably try to grope me on most occasions when not in battle, but eh, something to bring a little feeling into dying hearts during this war so i welcome it
> Yue, efficiency training, nuf said

Missions:
> All of them, cause i dont think theyre that bad really
> Product recall: just cut up the device and taze some folks, done and done, maybe me tazing them would already fry the device anyways
> Abyss spawn: huh, i guess its tuesday, time to kill some monsters faster than they can blink, also, the sewers should be full of water, so ill just see where the nest is and be able to find my way there
> Death squad cleanup: do i even need a sword for this, i can just knife hand these guys and bisect them
> Oil rig ritual: uhhhh cant i just cut the structural pillars of the oil rig and send it into the ocean?
> Hunting horrors: finally, something worthy to try and rust my blade, not that ill let my blade rust thats what the cleaning swabs are for, the only danger is this guys sneak attack but if i just put Urist’s symbol on my back i can probably see it coming and outspeed it
> blah blah blah blah blah the only real dangers here are failing to kill elara from her having some trick up her sleeves, the corrupted spill monster exploding too hard when i hit it with lightning, and the literal god brain i have to go smash

>>96184024
why rape when i can be DTF

>>96182685
I chose to think patrons care, and that their demands will have an effect on your life
"Preventing the worst of magical harm" Sounds like it involves not killing bystanders to me, and "Demands life be snuffed out in her name" and the line "Power in exchange for service", really makes it sound like you would need to kill more people then usual
It is, in the end of the day, my opinion. You could do far better or worse then I estimate, especially given that we don't know everything and that this is a shared hallucination at best
>>96182717
Blah describes his gameplan as fighting constantly all of the time
Urchin describes sparring with a pure from the start, using a visible type of dark magic
I just find it extremely unlikely that that goes well for him
Especially given he needs to preform regular flesh sacrifices
If not for that he would probably be at A+

Not everyone can be marked as A. I consciously try to keep the average near C

>>96182864
Thank you for the review
I think I could still make it by dipping into all of the grimoire spells I saved and by using bioshifting + teleporting to fake my death, swapping me with an identical cultist at the last second (I would have experience doing this)
It was a fun dungeon

>>96182966
>>96183762
That wasn't me, obviously

>>96184108
I feel like some level of common sense interpretation is necessary when reading plans, when someone says their going to frequently engage in combat it does not preclude them from scouting and having their companions scout to find reasonable opponents and if your going to be sparring with a pure your fairly obviously going to only use the parts of your kit that can be passed of as light. While it isn't your job to make up their entire strategy assuming people won't be complete idiots seems reasonable.

>>96182094
For how mighty the goddesses are, you'd think they wouldn't leave the wizardlords to keep researching up north. Does this imply that they're too focused on each other to spare their strongest forces, that the wizardlords' defenses are that esotefic and dangerous, or that the wizarlords are harmless and not worth the effort to attack because they're isolated and rule over their own pocket dimensions? Perhaps all of them at once. I'm tempted to use one of those evil wizard roll tables to headcanon some specialties and extrapolate dealing with them, but my own build is farther south and by the time I get up there, my forces will already be overwhelming. The wizardlords' spells are strong, sure, but can they be sustained against hundreds of thousands of attackers? Perhaps not.

>>96184396
I think it is pretty clear that the wizardlords are far weaker than the forces of the godesses. They are just to strong for direct conflict with a starting overlord, but would probably get wrecked by a titan, much less a divine dragon. Overall they are insignificant compared to the threat the godesses pose to each other.

In fights she mainly stands back freezing and cutting apart anything trying to approach her but when going all out she will cloak everyone's vision and fly around as needed. The pacts are there to make her secret job easier while the contacts are those that can help without attracting too much attention.

Author is probably a caster fag. When I read the text on the wizard lord it was like they were given “the best” status. “Don’t you dare 1v1 them!”. Whatever. Wizards should be the best, anyway. Even gods can be wizards.

If I post my WIP OC will /cyoag/ give me advice

>>96184449
Possibly.

>>96182094
My evil is as subtle as a panther’s breath. I will dwell in darkness for a time, stealing the shadows of the righteous and powerful. That they begin weaker is no difference to me. They will serve me eternally, and I will resurrect them again and again, until the wicked deeds of their shadows outlive the memory of even their greatest legends. I will wed them to demons and sidhe, and the righteous will birth and raise their own destruction.

TL;DR - capture elite shadows. Breed them to powerful minions with Brood. Train them with Promotion, and use them endlessly with Joining and Recycling.

>>96184396
>Perhaps all of them at once
Probably. Conquering a series of dungeons in arctic tundra would be costly for little gain. The north is also good containment zone for insane archmages, since they don't mess anything important there.

>>96184306
Until they're raped and broken.

Imagine if an alien crashed into a fantasy world and understood its nature/magic a lot better than the actual wizards, since they come from a world that already went through all of that. “Can anyone cast spells without speaking or without blue juice? No? I’m the arch-archmage now. You don’t need any of that.”

It’s fun to build for. I’ve made some complaints and suggestions, but ultimately the magic, outfits, and implements make for a pretty satisfying build and the world is distinct enough for you understand it. It just so happened the cyoa perfectly captured exactly what I want out of my character and their abilities, I’m sure it’s the same for others

Yes, except the urSkek ruined that planet by offering its resident earth guardian, or goddess, superior comic knowledge that took her away from her duties, and which allowed the urSkek to split themselves in half disastrously.

This one is pretty common as far as isekai goes.

Manageable if you have backers, you could tie it to difficult miscelaneous quests.

>>96184546
Lizardmen definitely don't deserve to rule the world unless someone goes through a lot of hardship to make that happen. What's the appeal of those anyway? Some furry thing?

>>96184606
The player will just have to gather an army the normal way (or the demon summoning way or whatever) afterwards without being given it directly in the cyoa choices?

>>96184638
Got any examples off the top of your head of CYOAs with decent quest implementation that I could view for some direction/inspiration?

>>96184668
For CYOA? None comes to mind honestly.

Once thing I've always wondered is that if every hero (and villain) is chosen and marked by an auspice, wouldn't you stand out like a sore thumb being that youre that the odd man out? Every cycle has the same number of chosen and then in the latest cycle an extra guy just shows up with no explanation and you can't say what auspice you were chosen by. And if the branding is literal, do you even have a mark? Either you dont and its suspicious and you do and no one knows who tbis mark is from. Either way it wouldn't make sense.

I dont even think the author thought about this at all.

>>96185109
You want Perpetuance Protocol Pod Program.

>>96185176
I would have to search for it but JRPGanon explained that you disguise as a hero claiming to be from the sixth Auspice and that, while somewhat suspicious, you still have the mark so you pass as one.

>>96184108
>Patrons Care
I never said they don't but read between the lines and Gaia is basically a traitor to the light due to her love of humanity, and all of the dark patrons have a focus that can be satisfied in good ways (bone mother wants death so kill bad guys, she who wants fear so scare bad guys, and Ste've wants you to fight, so fight bad guys). I am almost certain this is by design otherwise it would basically be impossible to take a mix of light and dark patrons.

>>96181974 (OP)
People seem to over-focus way too much on Physicality, Celerity, and Spirit. Almost every build has at least two of these.

>>96185176
You do have a mark, it's the alchemical symbol of sulfur.

Sad day. I'll kill a few kittens while eating Nutella.

>>96185437
This. JRPG Traitor is written like a fever dream. The author was on acid or something. I still don't know what some things are supposed to do.

>>96185432
It is probably not possible to tell, there isn't a solid reference on what abilities the other characters have aside from their main ones.

>>96184378
I see, then what's the criteria you're using for "Strength Against Dark." The others are pretty clear. Direct combat, information gathering, & survivability. But Strength Against Dark says "Doing your Actual Job." But like, that tells you nothing about what's actually being measured here, or what makes something "good at their job" in your eyes.

>>96181974 (OP)
The name Hashmillim bothers me. Presumably the author saw it as the name of angels in the Bible. But -im is a plural masculine suffix in ancient Hebrew. The name makes no sense.

You get way more points than you will ever need, I'm fact there are so many that a lot of them will end up wasted on skills that you never plan on using.
But outside of that, JRPRTraitor is just that, a JRPG, so you should take all the world destroying skills with a grain on salt. You are the god final boss that the party of heroes has to defeat so it is entirely possible for them to do it despite all the seemingly cheat powers.

>>96185482
Literally my reaction to people like Orsted or Ottar

>>96185448
The most important thing is to understand the actual laws of the world which are nothing like our own. Firstly everything in this world is made up of either Amaritia (Raw Magic), Essence (Conceptual truths) or Strange Elements (Concepts of change). All of these are the reflections and creations of MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI who created the universe by forming a bubble in the endless void (imrana(which is referred to as a river/ocean metphorically)). The main thing to note about this is that there is no such thing as an atom and conventional physics do not apply, a person of any race in this universe is basically just a concoction of these conceptual juices, this applies to not just people but all objects. The higher gods of this world i.e. those originally created by Mana are each tied to a particular attribute of mana whether this be an essence, a amaritia aspect or a strange element (Though perhaps it would be more apt to say the aspects of mana are reflections of the gods). There are also lesser gods of the land who got the shit beaten out of them by the higher gods and are now the almost cataconic spirits you see today

Amaritia behaves differently to the others in that it has a base state called being unaspected where it floats around with no properties, when amaritia is part of a physical object it will become aspected meaning it obeys the property of that object i.e. fire being made out of fire amaritia. So if a power says you forcefully attribute amaritia then thats effectively transmuting all materials to a single one.

Essences are the conceptual juice of this world and can be described as the properties used to define a set state of amaritia (for example earth would have a higher ESS;DEF than cotton because its tougher). The thing which ties each god to its respective juice is ESS;SCR, for example.

Strange elements are interactions between differently aspected amaritia, i.e. when two things hit each other or two gases mix a strange element is produced.

Reading the CYOA fully LMAO.

Also reading its inspiration in the form of the works of Lord Dunsany (Specifically the Gods of Pegana). My commentary on what the different aspects of MANA represent is coloured from the perspective of Amaritia being the fundament of the magic system but the general thrust of all points made can be backed up either with evidence from the CYOA or Gods of Pegana.

>Got any examples off the top of your head of CYOAs with decent quest implementation that I could view for some direction/inspiration?
Off the top of my head?

In Eternal Arms, the companions (you) pick introduce wild cards to the missions. An additional boss monster, the enemy base is now a giant flying ship, (you) are shot down and will need to be rescued . . .

(Unfortunately, there's no interaction between the missions and the factions, even though the missions are divided by faction.)

The mission page for Ship is written almost in code, with all sorts of cultural references (etc). As is, it's almost a lore page, but when you factor in the references, there are all sorts of subtle misdion requests. Find out what happened to the ancient aliens, investigate whether this AI is really running death games, etc.

>>96185626
https://ia601302.us.archive.org/29/items/godsofpegana00duns/godsofpegana00duns.pdf
This pdf would show you if you could be bothered to read but I've also included a section of the glossary showing that the names of all of the major gods are the same, read through and you'll also find all of the named prophets and the whelming of sidith contained within. Also the name itself is a referenced as the city which the gods reside in same as in the book.

>>96185660
Yep, definitely should be sued

>>96185602
As anon said, JRPG Traitor is based on the book, Gods of Pegana. Back when the author was still actively posting, he routinely referenced the novel as the source of the setting lore.

Possibly anon but usually similarities like that are due to authors both taking inspiration from the same real world source. Most fantasy is based on some real world thought. For example it's so ubiquitous we don't even question most settings using the 4 elements model (Fire, Earth, Water, Air).

Your lore is wrong and your gay

>>96185718
Besides human writers, maybe the reason is population + short lifespan? Humans have 0.01% of the time to get gud so they're under apocalyptic pressure. The overwhelming majority either fail horribly or are mediocre at best compared to the elven average, but a handful manage to cram an absurd amount of practice and ingenuity into their short lifespans. This doesn't concern the elves, since they can wait for them to die. Unless they're the rare human that refuses to die, and the ultra-rare subset of those that becomes a lich, in which case the elves guide affairs so that some adventurers are set to deal with them a few centuries down the line. All it takes is one beautiful pure elf maiden forty-seven times older than a badass yet naive hero's own grandmother whispering sweet-nothings into his ears, and any uppity lich encroaching on eternity is double-dead.

>>96185718
Elves are female brained. Humans are male brained.

It's like Witches n' Inquisitions. Male mages are more likely to be the more skilled at magic since women aren't risk takers, and 99.99% of all scientific accomplishments were conducted by men.

Another similar parallel is China. The Chinese are female brained, while Caucasians are male brained. The Arabs and Europeans took what China made and did better things with it.

There's more genius in men/humans than women/elves.

>>96185174
oh cool, a fellow shrine maiden focused on support and attack magic, neat, maybe we could team up for the dungeon run

>>96185772
and then the lich comes back again as a double lich and the elves get killed and reanimated into undead slaves.for their treachery

>>96185785
>There's more genius in men/humans than women/elves.
And this is only because elves are written as essentially another kind of (fembrained) human/humanoid.

cyoas?

>>96185831
The Chinese had gunpowder for centuries and didn't invent guns, so yea.

>>96185849
The key difference here is that the humans don't know how to reverse engineer the ray gun. They can only use/shoot it.

>>96185788
Elves aren't only smart, they're also wise. The kind of wisdom that can only be gained through seeing thousands of years go by. They can tell which liches are jobbers and which liches are dangerous. The former are easy to nip in the bud, the latter are plausibly-deniable holy quest fodder. As for the very, very few that are more cunning than dangerous, the elves are wise enough to keep a wide berth while they dig their own graves and stir the gods from their patience. 99.99% of liches aren't Larloch, they're petty dungeon keepers in over their bald heads.

>>96185859
>99.99% of liches aren't Larloch
Larloch is significant because he's a surviving Netherse wizard, and these people tend to be their own unique type of lich. Another survivor (Ioulaum), the giant elder brain lich deep underground, is currently trying to manipulate all spellcasters through spells, since all spells are connected through the Weave... and if he succeeds...

>>96184424
I'm inclined to agree. The wizardlords seem to me to be roughly the apex of what a mortal mage is capable of, barring some incredible insight or opportunities. I think they're about on par with the baseline Sorcerer before growth, if only because they couldn't rightly call themselves a wizardlord otherwise.

>>96184441
I wouldn't say the author is a casterfag, as much as I think he's biased towards strong enemies in general. The Ever-Forest has threats that could kill you early on, Sanctum Citadel is at-risk of summoning a Japanese teenager with a bullshit cheat, the City of Gloriend has a forcefield generator, etc. The wizardlords aren't pushovers, which I appreciate. Magic users that have studied and mastered some variety of arcane lore should be dangerous.

>>96184460
That's a good point. From the goddesses' perspective, the wizardlords are also a temporary problem. They think they'll be able to utterly annihilate every trace of them in another ten thousand years, and they're probably right, if not for the Overlord's involving himself first. As an aside, I couldn't find the evil wizard roll tables I was looking for, so I put together my own set of them, 7 sets of 20 possibilities for a 7d20, barring the 1-in-20 chance to reroll another 2d20 apiece. You guys might get a kick out of them. The formatting is a bit of a mess for now, due to me being on mobile, so I'll post them later when I get home and can collate them together. Probably next thread. Just doing a quick test run...

>>96186169
That's 6d20, my mistake. Interesting random wizard, in any case. An insane hydromancer whose strategy for keeping his enemies at bay is the homemade inland tsunami ritual he's sitting on. Yeah, I think this'll work well enough as a supplement.

>>96186169
not the guy you were talking to but, for the first one, you never know, maybe if the wizardlords got out of their dreamlands and continued studying the arcane for a while longer they might just be able to ascend into something like an elemental or even a minor god or smth

Hopefully you can use this to supplement your visions of conquest. Realistically, from a pool of twelve it's almost guaranteed that 100% of wizardlords are going to be monomaniacal hyperautists and/or prodigal genius men, but I was vague on their sex because some anons might prefer to conquer a wizardlady's domain, and I don't judge.

>>96186199
True. A sufficiently motivated wizard is probably capable of bootstrapping their own ascension. I don't think that's likely in the first few centuries, otherwise it would've been mentioned, but leaving the wizarlords alone for too long to prepare and potentially pool resources could be a dangerous mistake.
