Can't post tonight, massive storm is wrecking wireless. Using phone, but might not work for much longer. Will write for Wanderer and Gil tomorrow.

[Brahmastra]

I think you'd best stay out, at least for now, or he's probably going to turn your skull to mush for interrupting.

I think if you try to interfere both Gil and Karna will rip you to shreds in their bloodlust (they're getting pretty serious now).

e: what Brahm said

I would stay away from people throwing mountains like DIO throws steamrollers.

Yeah I kinda figured, Minato has no real chance of beating both of them at once unless he manages to blindside the both of them with a high tier spell while they are distracted. Though Minato isn't using human level power either. Agi has 50 power which makes it an A rank spell. So yeah...

One of them he could beat, die at least once doing so, but beat; Both, yeah no.

But yeah, not interfereing with that fight. (Unless something happens to force it.)

You should note that Gil doesn't even get dusty by A-Rank spells in UBW and that an A-rank is roughly equal to an E-rank against Karna.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Made my first RP post ever guys. How'd it go?

Also we allowed to post one character and the other right after the other?

I see no reason for why you shouldn't be able to.

[Kurogami]

High tier skills have power around 600, Excaliblast IIRC is around 225. Then there is Armageddon which I basically wrote up as the world's end counterpart to Enuma Elish.

[Cherry Lover]

There's no reason not to, although it is probably better if you post the whole lot in one post.

[Milbunk]

So, just to confirm do you guys want to go back to Downy?

Also Alice and Kaiza, you wanna use your characters soon? Or would you rather I start it first with mine? (They'll be coming pretty soon, Mudou and Shezar.)

[Kurogami]

I made my post somewhat vague so whoever wants a top tier who can perform resurrections can take this chance to try and get him on your side.

[MissingMandible]

I decided that it would be in the best interest for both myself and everyone here to hammer out a consensus on how two of my character's spells effect the characters of varying magic resistance. Here are their snippets from my character sheet:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunder Bolts:
Prana Cost: Moderate
Info: Sunder Bolts is a medium ranged (300m) attack that consists of firing fist-sizedgrey orbs that, upon contact, tears the victim apart from the molecular level by destroying electron bonds in molecules. They can only affect the same amount of area as the orb is, but this tends to be destructive enough for most targets. Like the Firestorm, it can become rapid fire.

Graviton:
Prana Cost: Massive
Info: Graviton is a short ranged (100m) attack that causes its victims to become super dense and collapse onto themselves (Like a hand crushing a soda can). Requires so much prana that it nearly exceeds the mana input from the generator; if fired, Elissa will have a significant reduction in movement and casting ability, for prana is the life-blood of any Warmonger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So, here's a table that I cooked up with. It is not finalized in any way, acting more like a prototype. It can be changed as needed while forming a consenses on here.

Sunder Bolts:
Nil: Full Effectiveness
E: 90% Effectiveness
D: 70% Effectiveness
C: 50% Effectiveness
B: 30% Effectiveness
A: 10% Effectiveness
EX: No Effect


Graviton:
Nil: Full Effectiveness
E: Full Effectiveness
D: 90% Effectiveness
C: 70% Effectiveness
B: 50% Effctiveness
A: 30% Effectiveness
EX: No effect

As for special attributes that already inhibit damage, such as Karna's Kavacha and Kundala, will use a formula that uses Full Effect. So, if one has an attribute that decreases damage to 10%, has an A ranking in magic resistance, and is hit by a Sunder Bolt, the damage received will still be 10% of the total attack rather than 1%.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So, that is the working basis of effect these spells send out. I would appreciate input so that we can avoid shenanigans when dealing out how much a person is hurt in a fight.

[Elf]

I allowed the symboite because its origin had been tampered enough . . .

Honestly, I allowed it because A.) No alien tech.  B.) It's not going to fart and kill someone like a lot of the alien races can.

Hey Mandible, I have a question about your Steampunk Magic Bot, how would "she" fair against Gabriel, who is a magical null?  Literally, he nullifies magical energy.

[Milbunk]

To Kurogami, well if you want to work with me I have a couple characters who have various ways of making people obey them. (Downy, Lobellia, and Mudou especially.) Of course that's up to you.

[KAIZA]

So, just to confirm do you guys want to go back to Downy?

Also Alice and Kaiza, you wanna use your characters soon? Or would you rather I start it first with mine? (They'll be coming pretty soon, Mudou and Shezar.)

Well, I missed a little tidbit from Alice, so I didn't realize it was my turn to reply. I'll try have a post by tomorrow, Mil.

[YOLF]

Hey Mandible. The effort you've put into that is great, but man, I think you're worrying too much.

We've been playing things by rule of cool and going along with whomever we're engaged with IC in good sport to write entertaining fights when they do happen. So while it is a good thing you took the extra time to make sure everyone knows exactly how powerful your character's more relevant abilities are supposed to be and how they'll be affected by them precisely... be aware that numbers will most likely get ignored in favor of writing interesting or more organic reactions.

Numbers and ranks are good general guidelines, but they don't matter nearly as much as you'd think, especially given not all sheets are written according to the same standards and we don't even have a defined system with calculations for fights.

[Milbunk]

To Kaiza: Alright no problem, I'll let you and Alice get a few words in before I interrupt.

[MissingMandible]

Hey Mandible, I have a question about your Steampunk Magic Bot, how would "she" fair against Gabriel, who is a magical null?  Literally, he nullifies magical energy.

Completely ignores both. If you are not affected by magic in any shape or form, you have nothing to worry about.

Oh, okay. Shall we just ignore my post, then?

This is honestly my first kinda serious RP, and I'm trying to be careful. I kind of feel that I'm being cheese with the above spells.

[YOLF]

No need to ignore it. It was a worthwhile try on your part to make things easier on everyone else. I was just making you aware that the precision of the numbers might not have that much weight on how events play out, even if they greatly help define the abilities in a broad standpoint.
