Happened to me around this time two years ago. Next thing I knew I was sitting in  a chair in the college's nurse's office. Apparently I was walking around speaking gibberish.

To Lancelot: Sir Gawain called you once "uptight". Is there truth to his statement?

Lancelot: Going by this "Urban Dictionary" Forest showed me, to be uptight is to be unable to relax, to have my "panties in a twist", or to walk around as though a tree branch had been inserted into my rectum. How crude. Beyond the obvious facts that I do not store wood within my rear, nor do I wear female undergarments, I suppose the first portion of the definition is not inaccurate. Adjusting to this new society is an endless task, and sometimes Saber can be... moody.

This needs to become a drabble.  Forest showing Lancelot the internet.

Elf, apparently it is also Saber's turn, according to Dan.

Edit: Elf, for your Saber post. Silver is not viable, it is literally inside of Mia. Mia has no sword that anyone can tell, it is just a minor thing but don't forget that.

[MissingMandible]

So, has both the GM's looked over the new character sheets?

I'm going to counter that with Saber's instinct.  She doesn't know what Mia's packing, but she senses that Mia's armed with something dangerous.

Also, I should do character approvals tonight.

Even though I'm still tilting my head at the fact that Fast Wheels now knows Martial Arts.

Instinct is only for combat situations.


Instinct: A


Instinct is the ability to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because this skill allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms. At rank A, it is essentially in the realm of precognition. Through this ability, it is possible to negate the penalties inflicted by visual and auditory interference to a certain extent.
Being able to discern Cú Chulainn’s ultimate technique certainly reflects her skills, but having exceptional Instinct also helped her immensely.

In the case of an ambush, when does the combat actually start then, going by Instinct.

[Panda]

Well, looking back at how Saber was able to sense Rider's ambush during Fate in time to counter it, I think it activates whenever there is a situation where she or her Master could end up dead, if she's nearby in the case of the latter.

[Knick]

As pointed out Instinct is only for combat. If Mia made moves to attack Saber I would be fine with her anticipating some kind of weapon. And I will make it very clear when she brings it out that it should rub people the wrong way.

But that is not the case. Instead you are having Saber just know Mia has a weapon despite there being no sign of it what so ever. And if feels a bit cheap.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, what you're doing here seems more like Gil's "All Seeing Eye" than Saber's instinct. Her instinct allows her to anticipate attacks and know what her opponent is going to do, it doesn't allow her to magically detect things like weapons. Even in battle it doesn't do that, it just gives her a supernatural sense of how to act to get the best possible outcome.

For example, even in battle, Saber wouldn't know what the enemy's weapon was. She'd just know "I need to do this to prevent it harming me". And, even that is not perfect, as Caster's use of Rule Breaker demonstrates.

[YOLF]

I still have no idea how Caster is even able to Rule Breaker stab Saber at all in any scenario of the VN. It makes no bloody sense.

Added to the list of things fixed/improved by the UBW anime.

For refference, Mathew Blackburn's Valkyrie crashed in the park and everyone else in it are dead. I didn't describe where it landed because, well, Blackburn had no way to actually take note of his surroundings

[Knick]

Beacuse of reasons I can't post today. At the earliest I will be able to is tomorrow night.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
