Also, Knick, your most recent statement is really confusing me. You mean what EMIYA is ranked at, which isn't actually human level stats unless for magecraft it's the exact same thing, and why do you say that they would have no ability in magecraft? EMIYA's really shitty at magecraft that doesn't have to do with UBW or isn't reinforcement/projection, but he can at least do it. Am I reading something wrong?

No, I am more saying that with the RP system the distinction between human scales and servant scales for magical ability is pointless.

Because average humans, which is the compairison point for the human scale, do not have magic, making the human scale pointless.

...Also, does this mean I have to go back and redo magic stats for my sheets?

As long as you explained what they can do it is fine. Anything they can pull out needs to be explicitly said on the sheet or logically and reasonably derived from what they are already capable of.

Ah, okay, you were just saying what Kat and YOLF are saying then. Sorry, got confused.

And hopefully I covered everything. If I did miss something though, please let me know. I can be scatterbrained sometimes, especially when tired, so it wouldn't shock me if I did.

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~
This is my mod voice. ...Most of the time anyway.

What bothers me the most about the Magic Ability stat right now is that even with two scales that should allow us to say "my character is stronger than yours" straight off, we're having arguments about it anyways.

Part of this is because Magic Ability is a subjective thing to begin with, especially when characters are hyper specialized like EMIYA, but also because it's a hard thing to place in a scale that tries to be objective when it includes far too many variations.

So I'd rather it be more subjective than arbitrarily try to make it about objective comparisons.

[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

Ok so without actually reading any posts from after I got off, I have decided not to wait on the GM for this and take out Shadow Vassal.

----

Having gone back and looked through the posts now, there are only two other things I need to say.

First is to Alice, I think those stats you posted were Minato's base stats before Persona and equipment boosts; When all the bonuses were added all his stats were over 200 IIRC. Yeah I just checked my original copy, the persona stats were a passive bonus added to his base stats, plus his equipment provided rankups and multipliers; The end result was a lot of EX's. Which was the dumbest kind of mistake for me to make.

Second is about the once a day miracle. It is not as impressive as it sounds. But I think I will narrow his range of choices to "miracles attributed to the messiah" since it is an ability of Messiah. That was what I was intending to do anyway, I just did not get around to it last night.

I actually agree on Lorelei being as powerful as she is, if she does not make every other modern mage look like a complete joke, something is being done wrong.

Whatever, nobody reply to that last post. I will be getting back to work now.

That is the worst of it I think, and I even went and took out something I had no plans to for the sake of peace.

That being said, once I have added the rest of the inherent attributes that will be it as far as Skill addons are concerned.

After that is dorm description and post arrival history up to the game start, then I'm done.

With Jenn's approval Tokiomi has been relegated to a NPC so for those that want to use him for character development are free to use him. I will be happy to play him for you if you want it to happen. However I will not be actively playing him. It would be greatly appreciated if you do not just kill him off randomly so people who want to interact with him are able to.

I was just not enjoying him like I originally thought and did with the first couple of posts.

Another warning to everyone in advance; I'll be flying home from Thailand Monday and will be pretty much unaccessible or unable to post for a good 24~ hours.

Yes, Phoenix did accidentally rip out some of Enkidu's hair. Then continue to nibble at his hair after getting on his shoulder.

Sorry Enkidu, it don't know better.

How much did the necromancy or cybernetic revival cost?

Silly Lyco, cybernetics eat your soul! And Essence and/or Pattern.

Unless you wanna be a Cyberzombie!

Technocrats prove no amount of cybernetics and nanomachines affect their Essence. And their Pattern is only improved (you know probably I mean Ascension terms)

I'm just waiting on Magos to post and then I'll work on my next mega chunk.

Also, Rev, it looks like you're having fun writing Gig.
