So what are the limits of the Hero of a Thousand Faces from Negima? Could it be used to replicate a Noble Phantasm, for example?

>>43647133
Pretty sure all it does is change it's shape and size, not actually gain new magical powers

Jumper quantities it ain't.

For the Betrayal at the House on the Hill Jump, do Jumpers keep powers they had as Traitor after leaving Jump?

>>43648287
Good question. Was there ever a ruling on this?

>>43648287
Uh. Well, you kinda caught me on a bad spot.

I never actually thought about that when making the Jump.

Clearly I should have phrased my question differently.

Perhaps it would be easier to ask 'for the purposes of this drawback, what is considered a monster?'

>>43649075
Anything that isn't considered a "civilized race" or a "mere animal."

This includes everything from orcs to minor Elder Things.

>>43649075
Either "Anything that's not Human" or "Fanwank it, Fanwank it good".

Overall Plan: I guess I’ll go around and be an advisor, leave statues of an old man. Since I’m going to shapeshift into the form of an old man generally. Might end up meeting with Kratos since he’s supposed to be less dickish in the Epilogue timeline. Help him out a bit but generally be careful, I don’t want him to try rearing my head off after all.

>>43649075
Vampires, Undead beasts, Dragons, Spiders, ghosts. Mostly any DnD monsters that have a females.
It's a drawback do not expect anything good from ravenloft since most things there are either neutral or evil.

>>43649075
Well, there's D&D jumps and all jumps derived and ancestral. Lord of the Rings, most other fantasy jumps, etc. God of War or Xena have their share of greek monsters, so have fun with that. Just about every video game derived jump will have tons of monsters, including literally every Final Fantasy, Mario, Kirby, etc... Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Secret of Evermore, etc, etc, etc... there's quite a lot in Inuyasha... some exotic ones in Star Wars and Star Trek... the list really does go on and on... and on... and on...

Considering that it literally hates everything, finds humans disgusting, and wants to kill them all? I think only someone of complete moral bankruptcy like Val could manage it. Or possibly Antispiral, who is not as murderous, but is far enough removed from humanity. And he has some harem perks in the wings from before he went Antispiral.

>>43649439
Well, it finds humans disgusting, and it's probably straight up immune to attempts to fuck with its psychology due to bullshit, so I'm gonna say no.

>>43649404
Light of Terra is the only good one

>>43649439
Rule of Thumb: 682 is immune to everything you can think of, and if by some miracle you counter it with some sort of absolute power, it will develop an immunity. It will then attempt to murderize you and everything in the same continent as you. See: Any and all test logs for it.

>>43649075
For the sake of that drawback I would define a monster as one of two things or possibly both.
A monster is an Intelligent nonhuman entity or they are a intelligent malevolent entity.
So not only could you attract fantasy races like elves you could also attract human psychopaths like Hannibal Lector. So don't think you are safe in all those worlds that you would be safe in the more normal worlds. It just means the monsters are harder to spot.

No, you stop

...You win this round

A reminder that despite their waifu'ing of 682 and insistence on it's abilities, acid is the primary containment mechanism.

>>43649723
Is it super-duper acid?

>>43649777
Once you go up you will never come down acid.

>>43649723
While people do wank 682 about as hard as one would expect them to do their dicks, the acid has an actual reason for working.

That is, it's strong enough to impair it, but not strong enough to actually harm it. Meaning that it cannot adapt to it.

>>43649802
>strong enough to impair it, but not strong enough to actually harm it

How's that supposed to work?

>>43649777
>>43649802
It's fucking battery acid.

>>43649821
from what I understand its corrosion is essentially in balance with 682's regeneration, so even without adapting it wouldn't be enough to finish the job
ergo it doesn't adapt

>>43649777
It's Fiat Acid, it only works by Author fiat as a reason it's containable at all.

Hydrochloric Acid isn't used in batteries, and has a Ph of .1 in its pure state, while Sulfuric acid, the go to refrence point, is weaker with a Ph of .2.

Question semi-related to the current conversation but unrelated to waifuing: what happens if you throw 682 into the sun? Does it adapt? Do you eventually have a little lizard wandering around on top of a giant molten ball of fire being pissed off and ineffectual? Can it do anything after that?

>>43649934
There was a joke SCP where they fired it out of an orbital cannon into the sun.

682 came back on fire.

I just realized that I've taken enough Narrator/"Voice in your head" perks that I'm basically certifiably schizo. I mean, they must have heated debates and discussions about my actions and decisions, and I have to listen to all of it.

>>43650015
If you don't have Morgan Freeman as one of those voices or the voice actor from Stanley Parable you need better Narrator perks.

Wait, so we discussed a Kid Icarus jump a while back. Did anything happen there, or did we decide it was too difficult to not make God/Goddess the only origin worth taking?

>>43650015
You know, combine that with the Uncomfortable Symbolism drawback and now you have an entire forum in your head arguing about art.

I honestly think Malk is the way the game was meant to be played. It also makes a second play-through so much better.

>>43649439
Is it possible to take a perk or collection of them that gives you 682's ability? If not, is it possible to pod it and drop it off in a universe that should be destroyed?

>>43650720
682 has been wanked so hard by the editors of SCP-wiki that it can survive complete and utter annihilation, and if sent to another universe it simply rips its' way back.

>>43650728
>Rips it's way back
No, that's not it at all. It's been said many, many times by now that it was simply sent back.

>>43650728
>and if sent to another universe it simply rips its' way back.
False.

>>43650743
>>43650744
Ah, my mistake then.

What keeps sending it back then?

>>43650749
Dear Universe 5802-Sigma-Blue-Romeo;

It's your problem now, suckers.

>>43650728
Given that Jumping is moving between "settings" which sometimes have individual multiverses (like Marvel, which has other worlds you couldn't open a portal to in DBZ or 40k), wouldn't coming back to kill you be much harder than coming back from another dimension? Jumping is another level of wanking. 628 vs Jumpchan?

>>43650749
If I remember correctly, they sent it there with a guy who phases into other universes. The other universe sent it back somehow with a note saying "not my problem." So theoretically, you CAN get rid of it that way. You need to know nobody will send it back.

>>43650744
>>43650743
With how wanked it is, wouldn't be surprising if the universe itself tried killing 682, and 682 adapts a claw to slice through reality and go home.

>>43650720
Take a shot, because once more Worm has the answer. It's better, in fact. Quantum Evolution makes you reflexively adapt to any stimulus so fast that it can come into effect before you're actually hurt. It only gets better over time, constantly evolving to fit any escalating scenario. You could probably go up against 682 in a fair fight.

>>43650749
The people in other universes who don't like it when unkillable murder beasts get dumped on their laps.

>>43650779
Thanks. Quantum Evolution sounds fun. How far can it escalate? Is that the most powerful ability from Worm? It would be scary to think 628 is a Jumper who ended their chain, and is using Quantum Evolution to stick around and live the dream of being the ultimate mary sue character.

>>43650779
Won't that end like the X-Men character that gained the ability to teleport away when he had to fight the Hulk?

>>43650814
Theoretically it could mutate the Jumper until they don't look human and 682 won't want to kill them.

>>43650810
Quantum Evolution is Crawler's power.

Crawler was, indeed, a parahuman whose primary motivation was to keep getting into fights so he could achieve his perfect form.

It is not the most powerful ability, either in terms of firepower (Legend's lasers, Sundancer's mini-sun, Flechette's Sting), defense (Siberian, Alexandra, Gray Boy's time loops) or utility (still needs some time to adapt to a given change, as compared to Echidna's clone spawning or implicitly Narwhal's forcefields).

However, it is definitely a huge threat to the parahuman community because of how much of an all-rounder the power is. The limit of Crawler's-a very experienced shard user's-adaptations seemed to be matter transmutation, since they eventually iced him by daring him to tank one of Bakuda's bombs that apparently turned him into inorganic metal.

>>43650810
Well, it's based on the character Crawler, who eventually got to the point that he was so durable that even transdimensional blasts of warped space didn't hurt him. He was only killed by using a method of attack so novel that he had never encountered it before, and that killed him in one hit so he had no chance to adapt (specifically, he was turned to glass). But Quantum Evolution is better, since it works predictively, so you might be able to survive even that. It also allows your brain to regenerate, which is something powers in Worm usually don't do since the brain is what the shard uses to track you and note that you need to be regenerated. Add to that that you can consciously trigger the adaptation instead of waiting for something to hurt you, and it becomes pretty damn powerful.

>>43650840
It's based of Crawler's, but doesn't it activate preemptively while his was as he's being hurt?

>>43650853
>Your body exists in a perpetual state of quantum uncertainty, and suddenly warps and evolves based on the stimulus around you to better fit your needs and desires, primarily survival

>The nature of this power means you can casually switch back to your base form, and regenerate at high speeds. Retaining a change will result in its constant refinement and enhancement, the effort and energy that would be spent on adapting instead being constantly funneled into improvement

>You can exert conscious control over your power’s changes, either total or simply guiding it in your preferred directions. Your power can evolve anything physically possible for a biological system, although its an admittedly generous definition. Your power is a lot like Crawler’s, you’re just not permanently mutated. You do not possess a core, relying instead on your regeneration and adaptation, though you’ll never suffer negative effects from needing to regenerate your brain or similar issues

I dunno, the wording seems to indicate it's still more of a reactionary power, it just gives you more fine control than Crawler

>>43650853
Yep. It also triggers for things other than damage. It adapts you to any scenario where you need improved biological fitness. And even better, you can set goals for it. Tell it "make me better at doing X" and as long as X is something that can be enhanced by physical tools it will get to work. Quantum Evolution is pretty awesome.

>>43650884
Isn't there an example of growing armour before a bullet gets to you?

Also, you can control it, which is massively useful.

>>43650905
Yep.
>Falling off a building would result in you growing wings, bullets find themselves flattening on bio-armor that wasn't there when the weapon was fired, and strikes in combat will find natural weaponry perfectly suited to their target shaped by the time they land.

also

>Retaining a change will result in its constant refinement and enhancement, the effort and energy that would be spent on adapting instead being constantly funneled into improvement. Issues like muscle memory and being unused to your forms changes aren't a problem, you are able to use them instinctively.

It is very useful. Not the ultimate do-anything power, but it has a lot of applicability to any situation in which being an inhuman monster isn't a detriment.

>>43650905
Huh. So there is. I guess it's a little unclear if the power triggers (no pun intended) automatically or if it's something you consciously activate? But yeah, either way, once the adaptations come into play you have much more finesses than canon Crawler ever demonstrated.

Though who knows, canon Crawler wanted to be perfect harder than Abridged Cell so he might've kept everything vaguely compatible for as long as possible.

>>43650916
>Not the ultimate do-anything power
While true, you have to think that all of the worm powers are the results of shards, which are sort of organic. I'm not saying you can do all that stuff but you have an incredibly wide range within what 'organics' can do Worm-wise.

>>43650884
Now combine it with Anomalous Physiology from the SCP jump itself. "No negative effects from needing to regenerate your brain" combined with "losing your brain doesn't kill you, just paralyze you" and you're effectively unkillable to physical damage. There are still plenty of non-physical things that can kill you, in both Worm and the wider multiverse, so you're not truly immortal. But it's still a pretty great combo.

>>43650916
What is the ultimate do-anything power? My goal is to win endgame Gurren Lagann by no-selling the Anti-Spiral without spiral energy, then convincing him I can stop the spiral nemesis in the same way.

>>43650953
I'm fond of Imaginary Form, personally. "Can be literally anything you can properly visualize" has some interesting applications when combined with magic. Sure, it's limited by size, but that's why you get size-boosting magic.

>>43650952
For even more madness: Get a companion who also has Anomalous Physiology. Take them to Black Bullet, import them, apologize for the mental trauma, and then have both of you take Sharing Is Caring targeted at the other. Take them to Worm, one of you gets Quantum Evolution and one of you gets Alexandria Package. Share them with each other using your Sharing Is Caring slots. Quantum Evolution plus Anomalous Physiology means that physical damage can't kill you. Alexandria Package means that ONLY physical damage can kill you. The only thing that can stop you is something turning off your powers, and even that might fail once you leave Worm if your powers becoming internalized instead of shard-based means that they're protected by Alexandria Package's no-selling.

>>43651025
The companion looks at you with a troubled, uncomfortable glare like a man who must explain to his paraplegic daughter why her disability is no excuse for burning down the dance academy out of spite and asks:

"Anon, why didn't you go to Medaka Box and get Lip Service or to Storm Hawks and get The Binding instead?"

>Worm releases the redone Worm Jump
>It has Marquis Power
>Take it
>Go to Naruto, Take Kaguya Bloodline
>Take all other Bone Manipulating Powers in any jump
>Become the King of Boners

>>43651048
Because he doesn't know what either of those settings are perhaps? Some people don't jump to places they're not familiar with or interested in. What they see is what they get.

>>43651048
"Lip Service would leave you unprotected as it transfers powers instead of shares them, and the wording for The Binding implies it only affects magic powers. Look, it will be fine, once we're done here in Black Bullet all those mental resilience perks I've given you will kick in and you'll feel a lot better. Hell, once we pass through Worm you'll get any lingering crazy taken right out of you. It's twenty years of life being shitty, max, and then we're indestructible. I have to go through this too, you know."

>>43651048
I'm not actually part of this conversation, but I'd just like to say that I love you, if only for that reference.

>>43649558

>>43651064
>jump Skullgirls
>propose to Queen of Boners

>>43651025
Preeeetty sure Alexandria does not in fact make you immune to anything but physical damage, just that you won't suffer from internal damage like someone burning you inside out

>>43651100
This. Canon Alexandria got her eye wrecked by the Siberian. And later got ripped apart by Scion.

...

...granted, it does say volumes about the level of durability we're talking here that Scion and the Siberian are being brought up. More to the point, Taylor was able to suffocate her handily with several swarms of bugs.

>>43651094
Yes, but with the caveat that it requires you to actually know what you're doing. You can't just tell your power "turn me into something that can warp gravity", but if you had knowledge of Mass Effect technology you could have it replicate those effects for you. It's a power that synergizes very well with any abilities that are based in knowledge rather than intrinsic power.

>>43651064

>>43651108
Canon Alexandria is invulnerable to, seemingly, anything but "absolute powers". The ones that effect someone across every Dimension/Universe the Entities have access to.

So she "can't" be damaged except by those. The problem is, she still needs to breath, and you can fill her lungs with something without wounding her.

>>43651111
If my entire chain was built around mechs, intelligence perks, and infinite sources of power like Mantra, could I go Demonbane?

>>43651100
Well, it enforces the Manton Effect, so powers can't directly affect you. So, yes, I was exaggerating somewhat when I said "only physical damage can kill you", but it does prevent you from being transmuted or spatially warped or whatever. It fills in the gaps in the protection that Quantum Evolution and Anomalous Physiology give you, is my point. Though taking a second look at Anomalous Physiology I see that it fails if you have no parts of you as large as a cell, so in retrospect it's not actually perfect regeneration. Enough energy will still kill you.

>>43651130
Quite possibly. On its own the size limitation will keep you from being Demonbane, but I think you can probably get around it by throwing in stuff from other universes. Mantra will definitely help, at least.

>>43651150
>>43651130

Wait, are we talking base form Demonbane or EGD?

Because I'm pretty sure EGD is literally infinite kinds of omnipotent and could only be vaguely threatened by some equally absurd absolute effect like the Unconquered Sun's fate hax or Azathoth waking up.

>>43651184
EGD's not omnipotent. Wasn't able to kill either Azathoth or Yog Sothoth and was said that if Az woke up, even EGD would be erased.

>>43651184
I was talking about base form.

>>43651184
It's a common misconception, but Elder God Demonbane isn't technically infinitely powerful because it had to seal Azathoth since it was unable to kill it and YS was apparently "Too large" for it to kill. It's nigh omnipotent (And so close as to be indistinguishable outside of Az himself or other 'true omnipotents' like the One Above All really)

Oh. I confess I merely have this pasta saved, and know nothing about the actual LN apart from it having weird, badly worded bullshit and bullshit waifus and bullshit self insert MCs.

>>43651191
So pic related is an exaggeration of its actual capabilities?

>>43651206
people like to downplay demonsbane

>>43651206
Sorta. While eh does have that "Summon Alternate Demonbane" thing, it obviously must be an exaggerated thing because he was apparently unable to summon one capable of killing the two biggest Outer Gods. Likewise, the infinity things are either slight exaggerations or dealing with things like how there's multiple levels of infinity and EGD just isn't as high as Az or Yog.

>>43651206
Most of that's either from Nasu-esque words in the LN or people exaggerating over time. It's obscenely powerful, just not absolutely powerful. Damn close though. Er, for a given measure of how close you can get to infinity without being infinite.

>>43651244
If I made Worm my last Jump out of every Jump currently written, took intelligence and tech related perks in all of them, and took a few sources of general insanity like the perk from Axe Cop that gives you a level of competence near his, then took Imaginary Form in Worm and became Demonbane, would I finally be able to stop Scion?

>>43651232
Too bad Old Man Henderson doesn't fight for justice.

>>43651278
If you have that much science, you'd be better off building an interdimensional raygun, blasting the Scion avatar and ripping a hole through him to scorch to death the main body. Instead of engaging him in fisticuffs.

It's how they killed him in canon, after all.

>>43651278
you can stop scion with words

>>43651304
The trick is actually having a conversation with him. Dude is really easy to convince if you can get him to stick around long enough to talk, but that's something that a grand total of two people have ever managed.

>>43651278
If you mean EGD then I guess yeah. If you mean base Demonbane then no, since the original form honestly wasn't that strong a mecha and certainly wouldn't compare to Scion.

>>43651293
Uh, I thought they killed him by giving him the Zetsubos when they showed his mate's corpse so that he an hero'd.

Or am I misremembering.

>>43651304
But I don't wanna pod a space whale.

>>43651323
You're not entirely wrong. They depressed him first so that he wouldn't be fighting back when they were calibrating and charging the interdimensional beam cannon. Just curled up on himself and let them kill him.

>>43651323
Pod him then dump him afterwards

>>43651316
West Wing has a perk that explicitly gets someone to listen to you and consider what you've said, no matter who they are. I wrote that Jump more than a year ago. SCION, YOU'VE BEEN OUT MULTIVERSED.

>>43651323
It was both.

They made him super sad until he stopped fighting back, meanwhile Taylor organized every Tinker on Earth to build a superweapon. Then she got Armsmaster to blast him into oblivion, teraing through his avatar and the dimensional barriers hiding his true form to kill him off for good.

Also Flechette shanked him a few times, and it was implied Sting weakened the defences Scion held up to protect his true body due to how it works.

>>43651347
Alright, then, cool. So all you have to do is wait for him to show up at an Endbringer fight and then have a chat with a space-whale.

>>43651356
perks and items to find people, just arrive on scene, hunt him down and talk.

>>43651377
<_< If I recall correctly, there is a perk in the Mob Jump that lets you once a month send a message to someone and it will arrive no matter what.

>>43651416
"Hey, big guy. Yous causing a lot of trouble for all the fine people of Earth, and that's bad for business. Howsabout you cool it with that, and I don't tear a hole in reality and break whatever parts of your main body vaguely resemble a kneecap with an extradimensional baseball bat. Thanks."

>>43651342
>>43651353
>>43651346
Right then. What about the Endbringers? Several biggatons builds I've seen, and ones that need the Sting power Flechette has (Data Drain, or Blue Magic, choices choices). And they have weird powers.

They start out at three, then two more replace the dead ones, and there are supposed to be 20-ish. Then again, that info was from an unreliable source.

Also, apparently if I deal with that Endy guy, the Endbringers stop being jerks?

>>43651323
Clover, Scion is not a clever Giant Space Worm Thing.
You could talk him into suicide.

>>43651442
An Offer He Can’t Refuse: 200 CP, Discount Drop-In

You’re very good at sending messages. Almost magical, in fact. Once a month, you can send
someone a message that gets to them no matter where they are. You can’t actually send a bomb,
that’d be too easy; but a disarmed bomb that makes sure they know that you know where they live?

They won’t forget that in a hurry. Maybe your people are good at getting in where they aren’t
supposed to be, or maybe there’s something else going on...


I like using the perk to send messenger pigeons to space stations and the like.

>>43651462
Three more replace the dead one, technically. But Tohu and Bohu usually are a package deal. And dealing with Eidolon's issues probably won't make the Endbringers stop bringing the end, just slow it down seriously.

>>43651462
Remove Eidolon and more endbringers stop being a problem

>>43651462
We don't know if killing Eidolon will stop more Endbringers from waking up, but killing him won't stop Behemoth, Leviathan, and Simurgh from smashing things. If anything it might remove their limits and they might attack more often.

Best plan is to work with Flechette, the Canon Character who has the Sting power, to kill them. Find their core, have her use her power on an object, smash core.

>>43651462
What about them? Considering Scion beat the living shit out of them without sustaining noticeable damage, anything that could oneshot him could oneshot them. Also, don't bother talking-the only one who talks back uses subliminal communication and precognition as a weapon.

The information was from Eden in Scion's flashback so-yeah, pretty much.

Not quite. Think of a killer robot who's just lost its directive to kill all humans. They don't suddenly just become all sunshine and lolipops; there's nowhere near enough information to accurately guage their intentions, but if Taylor's intuition is right they're looking out for number one above all else.

>>43651482
>stop being a problem

For now.

Bet you any amount of money that Wom 2: Worm Harder will feature some grand bullshit plan that reveals they're playing the long game to survive their creators' death.

Given that the Endbringers weigh stupid amounts of mass (somehow), would their bodies be useful for any sort of SCIENCE!es or to use as materials in making Endbringer-plate or Endbringer-blades.

...Hypothetically.

>>43651503
>they're looking out for number one above all else.
so what you're saying is we should bring in foreign help, a certain bleached japanese kid?

>>43651525
>Monster Hunter approach to enemies.

Welp. Waste not want not.

>>43651528
Why would a strawberry be of use?

>>43651525
Well, if you want to disturb and repulse the S9 with your Halloween decorations, a guy called Blasto did manage to clone an Endbringer-Human hybrid. It died in seconds outside its tank, and was probably more a fusion of human cells and the crystalline substrate Endbringers are made of than the bullshit nigh-infinite density dimensional portal projection thing.

>>43651561
the only counter to high bullshit is higher bullshit he will evolve into an Endbringer

>>43651600
No, he will turn out to be the secret 0th Endbringer, who is more powerful than the others through unspecified means.

>>43651525
Doesn't Chevalier wind up wearing armor and wielding a sword made out of Behemoth's corpse? I vaguely recall something like that.

>>43651609
Or his second cousin's twin sibling's friends, nephew's, grandmother's, house cleaner's, uncle is an Endbringer, so he now has Endbringer powers.

So it turns out old Protoss tech includes creation of synthetic suns to fuel a massive starship.

I... It's so goddamn impractical but I want it.

>>43651692
Explain.

>>43651692
Yeah, a sun is a really inefficient way of generating energy via fusion. It would make more sense to have lots of smaller reactors than one giant one.

>>43651702
Just finished a mission in Legacy of the Void and had a prompt to visit a room on the Spear of Adun (protoss campaign's equivalent to Kerrigan's leviathan or Raynor's Hyperion) called a 'Solar Core.'

It's literally a god damn artificial star kept in an energy-capture field.

>>43651719
Yes, especially when you consider how unstable a star can get vs a series of regulated reactors.

But god damn it's so COOL.

>>43651719
The Necrons do the same thing, except their Aeonic Orb uses it as a weapon instead of a fuel source. And IIRC it's less a proper sun, more a hypercompressed ball of plasma 'n shit made by blowing one up

>>43651729
I know, right?

>>43651692
Kind of like the Dark Eldar, only they just go steal other people's suns and bring them home. As though stealing their kids wasn't enough.

>>43652241
>Stealing just the kids.
>Not the entire family.

>>43652257
Nah, they take everyone but most of those are just standard slavery abductions.

>>43652241
The Protoss steal kids?

>>43651482
Maybe, maybe not. Eidolon has some sort of subconscious connection to the Endbringers. So whether they respond by going dormant, even more active or just continue as usual may well depend on exactly how you "remove" him.

>>43651525
Sooper Wurm Spoiler: Endbringers are what McRibs are based on. Ronald is a reality warper, and a sadist, but he's an all of the buffalo kind fo monster.

>>43652377
That's what all the Zerg queens tell their spawn; be good and eat your Terrans, or the Protoss will come and take you away!

>>43650743

That was probably an alternate 682, as the attached note didn't include a "fuck you" and there's relatively little chance the involuntary jumper they tied it to would have survived a rampage.

That jumper of theirs has also been replaced by alternates of himself before.

>>43651353
>teraing through his avatar
>teraing

Taylor going too far, as usual.

>>43651525

It's done in canon, though via Chevalier's ability to dimensionally-overlay the properties of similar weapons.

So he wields a lightweight sword, and has a hanger with a giant superdense blade, a super-light one, etc.

So it should work fine, though the really good stuff is near their cores and may experience a vibrant existence failure without an active core.

>>43652857
Oh lawd, that error.

But ironically enough, yes: The last few chapters of Worm can be aptly summed up as "Taylor goes too far, and then goes even further"

And indeed, the tinkertech energy weapon was kind of a last minute plot device without any foreshadowing which realistically shouldn't have worked under the circumstances.

>>43652647
Does that mean Kerrigan is the Zerg's version of VeggieTales?

>>43652643
So that's why Sleeper had to "subsume" an entire planet-he needed something to help digest his main course

People were mentioning nWoD jumps earlier and I was wondering-I've been out of the loop for a while, but I heard Beast: The Primordial is almost. I've also heard an alarming number of Bad Things about it.

If anyone's familiar at all with it-do you guys think it'd work as a jump?

I'm looking at the size modification in five-star stories, Do you have to purchase each modification in order Or can you just buy the 500 One for maximum size ? It's worded kind of ambiguously

>>43653046
I read some sort of version of it.
As a jump.....eh, its a bit..hm lets just say it could be better.

But its not impossible to make a jump out of it, just a tad more complicated,

Hm the Warehouse as a designated lair.....yeah okay it could work somewhat, if anything it could be an interesting jump if you had someone with some expierence to make it.

>>43653217
>warehouse as a designated lair

Nah, too meta. There's reality marbles and bounded fields in Fate, no reason a Lair can't be its own thing so long as it's made clear it can't store stuff.

>>43653267
True true.

I should re-read the file as i have forgotten most stuff, but it does have some good potential.

I just finished my CIV run where I indulged my inner God King. Conspicuous creation, by way of Creative Composition, was a big part of that jump.

For those of you that create, out and out make things from nothing, how do you do it? Do you have a sound track?

The overall soundtrack for my jump was Nightwish, with the link below being the inspiration for the jump and much of what I created:

Jump 8: Van Helsing

Great Britain (Lake District)
32 years old
Mad Doctor 50

Infectious Bite 750
Crazed Physician
Deranged Alchemist 900

Professor Anneliese Grigobretz
Solar Weakness 1700
Explosive Carriages 1400
All Is Lost 1000

An evil run wouldn't be complete without a castle and Van Helsing is really the place for that. Combine it with more science and a jump that really doesn't incentivise heroism it's good as an earlyish jump. Combines with Archer for some truly horrendous cyborg, robot and fleshmonster making.

I actually always choose Mad Doctor so this really isn't much of a departure. Bad Karma run is really just a movement from mostly amoral to entirely so. Usually it'd be me trying to make a small community of humanoid monsters out of some of the huddled masses and making my castle a nice place to live for them while being generally too much to deal with. In this one though it's more or less the same plan but with a more flamboyant approach to monster making and less a community and more a ravening horde of semi-loyal underlings.

Chose Grigobretz as I'm not keeping whoever I take here anyway so it might as well be somebody I can learn to make electric people from.

Started making this build while watching Penny Dreadful, at one point thought it'd be a good jump and then realised it would be pretty much exactly the same jump as this one.

>>43654173
Oh yeah, and I chose the Lake District as I wanted to stay out of the cities where most of the vampires probably live, figured somewhere northern would be good to keep the (not)days shortish and it's nice to live by a lake.

Dark Eldar steal other people's stars for the lulz. They end up just parking them somewhere else, as they really don't need them.

They also don't just steal children. They take cities worth of slaves. They'll empty a hive city with billions of people. That's a Tuesday afternoon stroll for them.

Anyone watch Grimm, NBC's show about a police detective that learns he's part of an ancient bloodline of superhuman monster hunters? That the monsters have hid themselves amongst regular humans, and only he (and other monsters) can see what they look like when they change.

>>43654298
>Dark Eldar steal other people's stars for the lulz. They end up just parking them somewhere else, as they really don't need them.
I know they're edgelord torture monkeys, but that sounds hilarious to me. Like, if I saw a group of DE do that, I'd want to hang with them and go out drinking.

>>43655078
I'd be cheering for Voldy. 682 is such a shitty character.

>>43655086
It really says something that 682 has both less depth and more bullshit than Voldemort.

>>43655078
Better idea, 682 vs Saitama

>>43655101
Probably because Tom's basically a lich who figured out how to make more than one phylactery, and otherwise a bigoted idiot who buys his own hype but is scared shitless of an old man and a boy he keeps trying to kill with the specific spell that keeps not working on him, instead of conjuring a swathe of knives or a fire snake or something. At least Movie Voldy tried to get creative and started flinging around those blasts of darkness.

>>43655155
Saitama always wins.

Triple capstones accounting for basically all of my CP use. All of them are pretty great really, shame I hit the cap without exploiting the discount for the Dark General but I guess I can pick up some tactics elsewhere.

Had a choice between Overlord and Overlad for the free perk and I decided to go for more intimidating rather than more endurance as it seems like there's more of a boost to be had there. If you can swing a sword all day you can't become any better at swinging a sword all day whereas you can become better at being intimidating.

Evil Power I don't quite understand, not sure whether each time you do it you choose whether the power converts to physical or magical strength or whether you just choose one or the other when you purchase the perk. Going magic most of the time or all of the time depending on which of these is the case. Pretty much only got Disney and Kirby magic at the moment but it's actually pretty dark in both cases so can probably get a reasonable boost.

All the elves and a bunch of heroes are against me which isn't ideal so I'm probably have to convert my minions into laser wielding, electrocuting behemoths. Least I've got the foundation for some shock troops.

He was a incredibly crappy Lich. He couldn't return on his own, and had to live as a parasite for awhile.

>>43655260
682 is pretty much the hyper-regenerating intergalactic warlord space alien that Saitama already punched to death.

>>43655086
682 isn't a character, he's a horrible amalgam of a waifu and a shitty meme.

That was Frieza, though.

682 is Garou if Garou was a JRPG villain fanboy instead of a sentai villain fanboy.

>>43655155
>>43655260
If Saitama has any mental/psychological problems 682 will find a way to exploit them.
It's how he survived 2599.

Also plot armour. All the plot armor.

I'd rather you guys talk about how you're going to kill the old man or the Devourer, or how you're gonna be MalmO's best friend or something than any more about 682

>>43655350
I agree.

I've been waiting ages for people to talk about the Sarkic Cults or the Fifthists or Wondertainment.

A while ago someone came up with a clever way of role reversing the old man by using Scar Dead and Raff-Rafflesia at the same time to rot his shit.

>>43655315
>Perhaps the same could be said of all Jumpers!

>>43655337

Reminding Saitama about his baldness would end poorly for 682.

>>43655350
Also, I have the sneaking suspicion that nobody talks about any of the other guys because apart from one or two anons, nobody knows jack shit about the rest of the SCPverse.

I don't mean this as a criticism, just an observation that most folks here probably haven't read the actually good articles. Like the crippled god in the cave. Or the surreal art horror SCPs. Or the creepypasta-based ones, like the Red Pool and the tape of Ronald Reagon being cut up.

>>43655389

>>43655476
>I have to nitpick even the slightest "off-color" use of greentext to prove I'm not new!
>I don't even know the meme anon is referencing!
>I've l-lurked enough, right guys?

>>43655458
It'd be nice if everyone jumping there spent a little time on the wiki to acquaint themselves with some SCPs. It's asking way too much for them to read all of it, but you'd think people would look into some if they're going.

>>43655458
A lot of them are just weird, though. Like 686. Seriously what is up with that thing.

>>43655458
A lot of those don't really have any uses though. I haven't read a great many but I have read enough to know that SCP that are actually useful are pretty damned rare, and often thought poorly of on the site because it brings up the question as to why they aren't being used. If they are being used, then it takes a lot of work to describe how, and then you also can't really make something that can be used against other SCP. Then there is the fact that SCP isn't exactly about interesting anomalous things, it's about bizarre, often dangerous anomalous things.

>>43655283
That seems to be more a limitation with the system of magic than a fault of Voldemort alone. But it probably would have been a good idea to have some sort of backup system in place in case he did get off'd, in order to expedite the process of acquiring a new body. The only real justification I have for not doing that is he just straight up didn't know it was going to be that bad, since no one had ever done it before.

>>43655529
My fav is the history book that rewrites itself whenever there is ink nearby. That one was solid.

>>43655552
That thing is also kind of horrifying, you can't find out exactly what it's trying to do without it doing it.

>>43655458
I know I haven't. I read a few articles back when the SCP jump was first getting talked about, but I haven't read everything. Because, come on, there's about two thousand articles and I have other shit to do.
Besides, after the first hundred or so all those articles start to swim together. You really start to notice recurring patterns.

>>43655544
That's the point and appeal of them, anon! For me, at least

>>43655552
The Daevites, right? Wish that thing had developed into its own hub like Wondertainment, although they are referenced in a few other SCPs

>>43655547
It's less about using them and more about the adventure/wonder/horror of exploring/containing them

>>43655529
I think some of ones focusing on locations instead of individuals are great for that, like 1000, the early one about the Tears of God and Titania's Prison

>>43655605
Yes but people here are not like to talk about things in jumps that aren't useful.

>>43655598
I recommend checking out the Object Class tabs, which lists the 25 highest rated articles for each object class of SCPs. Most of 'em are pretty well written by now.

>>43655605
>Titania's Prison
Also known as the place where Bigfoot got weird aliens to store ancient SCPs.

I know I'm gonna try and figure out what Fae is. Also probably gonna help them repair Titania with my plant powers.

>>43655616
Bullshit.

I do.

Loads of people talk about stuff that's not useful, like cooking and fashion and relationships and meeting certain characters and stuff.

>>43655425
Yeah I checked Hatter's Pastebin the latest update is from the third its here:
pastebin.com/4gcAr6XF which brutus posted

>>43655350
What's a Malmo?

>>43655639
Damned if I remember which one, but there's at least one other SCP that's basically a stranded fairy, and quite a few SCPs portraying what are clearly isolated communities of (un)seelie preying on humans in the guise of benign theme parks/festivals.

There's no real canon save that which can be inferred from multiple SCPs, but the overall implication seems to be that the bigfoots overthrew the Fae and cast them out of Earth so they could rule it, before they in turn were overthrown by humanity

I largely ignored the big bads. As far as I'm concerned, that setting is completely fucked and beyond saving. It exists only as a curiosity to be pondered and mined for resources before it inevitably implodes in on itself.
It doesn't matter.

I spent a lot of my time in the Wanderer's Library or else in the Imaginary Library in Argentina. Me and Embee and some automated support systems spent most of my ten years frantically copying down every book we could find. Considering this could be done almost instantly per book, we got quite an impressive number. Of course, for the most part we went for quantity over quality, so some of these things are... not particularly useful. But hey, at least my personal library is all the more robust.

Other than that I messed around with 682, sent the occasional robot squadron to try to steal from the Foundation (god they hated me), and organized the occasional small-scale terrorist attack against the GOP, because fuck those guys.

Admittedly I don't know everything about the SCP world, but I also know I'm not interested in trying to save a broken world.
I just want to survive.

>>43656897
No bounty. I'm capable of subtlety, which puts me leagues below anyone on that worlds notice.

>>43656883
Yeah, that's why I specifically bought the memetic shielding perk. You think I'd do that crap otherwise? Well, maybe in the Imaginary Library, that seems to be mostly benign.
As for reality warping, well, the copying process is instant and done through computers. I'm... PRETTY sure that anything copied is either going to A) lose its power in the transfer, or B) be transcribed as decipherable gibberish. Probably.
At any rate, if a book starts growling or standing near it makes colours start tasting weird, probably don't mess with that one. Or maybe get a disposable robot to try and then study its reaction first. I dunno. It kindof requires some common sense first and foremost, y'know?
Good thing I took that perk from Changeling.

>>43656897
Big enough to scare off rookies and big talkers, but not so big as to be completely unweildy.

>>43650848
I would like to note that the evolution goes away with time, similar to 682, and you can only evolve so much so quickly so it's unlikely you could react to something as complex as a bomb that turns you into glass. While you may be able to keep an evolved form or power, and continue to hone it, it's at the cost of your reflexive evolution. It's actually weaker than Crawler's power by a decent bit, because crawler was nearly broken as a character.

>>43657082
>I would like to note that the evolution goes away with time
The power doesn't say that, honey. Don't try to fanwank shit that's not there.

>>43656681
>Not just mind-controlling the Foundation guards and systematically pilfering as many books as possible from the Imaginary Library
Not like they're doing anything with it. I'll run up a copy shop in my warehouse- put the original in storage, a copy in my library, and sell copies in my Slice-Of-Life bookshop when I get my 6-month vacations.

>>43657082
To be fair Crawler had been throwing himself into life-endangering situations for years, maybe decades, and stockpiled up an aggregate of useful mutations-perhaps some more subtle than the tentacle-lion he appears to be. The difference between you and Crawler is you haven't automatically got years of mutation to hone your adaptations' prowess.

I don't agree with his opinion, but your tone repulses and exasparates me because you're basically doing everything you're accusing him off, but from the opposite point of view.

>>43658045
In the spirit of actually having an exchange, may I posit that the Civilian background makes sense from the perspective of a noncombatent who has honed their skills over milennia, like the minmaxers the Eldar are?

Think about it-the other backgrounds make sense because they focus on specific things. The Seers on psychic power, the Warriors on combat, the Outsiders on exploration; the Drop-In equivalent has a grab bag of thematic and oddball tricks. But the Civilian's focus is on infrastructure, culture and technology-they're very lacking in personal self-defence prowess or psychic skill from the perspective of a standalone jump. So I would say it's still balanced because you still need the time and resources to put together the stuff you know about.

TIMEWARP!

Decided to do this bad karma run properly and do a pokemon first build for it.

Initially it was Underworld first as I was just going to make a rolled run until I got bored but I had a better idea so I'm taking this more seriously. Also could do with explaining the run slightly. The plan is effectively still to play as myself, not myself as a wacky supervillain, but to start with a lot of jumps that in some way incentivize doing the wrong thing. For the most part the choices made in terms of builds are still whatever I think is best in the jump but in some jumps that is the morally questionable stuff and if you get to those jumps early enough and often enough you'll probably end up as a bad guy.

Will probably do a righteous run after I've had enough with this one.

Jump 0: Pokemon

Kalos
16 years old
Small Town 50
Houndour 100 (common in route 10)
Physical Fitness
Aura 400
Savant 1000
Champ in the Making 1300
Swarmed 1200
Marked 1000

Similar build to usual but not the same. Realised the other day how good Aura is, on the whole I'm genuinely not sure which is better out of it and Psionics. Don't like Lucario very much so maybe that's why I didn't pay much attention to it but sensing emotions is pretty great. Good for poker playing.

16 years old is a blessing. Small Town is a new one as well as I nearly always go Drop-In but decided to sacrifice Survival Training for Physical Fitness, a home and a broader choice of starter.

Chose Houndour because I really like Houndour and not at all because it's an edgy bad guy choice to make. Would usually choose Squirtle but there really is a lot to say for Houndour - they start with Ember, have a mega evolution and they're a dark pokemon which I could never really take in previous runs due to going with Psionic and Silenced (reasoning that I can't speak to Dark pokemon in their heads with Psionics). Could have taken Litwick and rolled as I couldn't decide.

>>43658379
>Haruhi origin

That sounds as absurd as a Reality Bender origin in SCP or a Valar origin in Lord of the Rings. Twats like Sir Anally-Blased aside, I think most of us would agree that give how nebulous and ill-defined Haruhi's powers are you might as well treat the whole thing as an SoL with some supersoft-scifi hijinks going on.

>>43658173

Hey, Many? If I'm reading Solitaire correctly, I lose psychic powers from the Eldar Jump but I'd keep my psychic powers from other Jumps? Meaning I could still be an Alpha Level Psyker AND a Blank?

>>43658402
It makes sense from a civilian perspective, yes. It would make sense that they focus on bonesinging and science.

But the other backgrounds except for Outsider don't have any 800cp perks. Pre-Fall science makes more sense as a capstone instead (and i understand that comorragh has the same thing, but I don't believe that was discounted), and it just feels like the other backgrounds could use some awesome tricks to make up for it.

I agree that Civilian's perks make a lot of sense. It just needs to be brought in with the other backgrounds, or more preferably, vice versa.

>>43658488
as always, Blank in 40k Redux works the same way

>>43658502
You do realize it's an incomplete jump? Bonesinging is a damn cool and unique thing the Craftwordlers do, it'd suck ass to cut it just because the jump is incomplete but you're trying to balance it anyway by giving us a shitty duplicate perk from another jump.

>>43658507
I did not know that. Interesting.

>>43658415
From what I remember, it was the movie series with Brendan Fraser.

>>43658534
I didn't say to cut it out. Please stop stuffing words into people's mouths.

I'm saying pre-fall science is worth more than bonesinging, or if it's going to be popular then make it undiscounted with a slight price cut so everyone can get it equally.

>>43658502
Way of the Laughing God has Solitaire as an 800 CP perk; I assumed that as a WIP Manny would eventually think up 800 CP perks for all the backgrounds. Note that Path of the Seer has "Farseer" down at the bottom without any description; I presumed that would be the 800 CP slot for Seers.

Considering that, I'm pretty optimistic the finished jump will have relative parity between all backgrounds

>>43658488
Speaking of which-I was told Solitaires have stronger Blank powers, but how is that even possible? My understanding is Blanks can stop Greater Gaemons from existing by standing too close to them, and I've yet to dig up anything in lore to show the more psychically attuned Eldar have anything similar.

>>43658469
Wasn't that dependant on the Data Integration Entity's infrastructure, though? I figured alone, a Yukiesque origin would only be capable of lesser feats sans transcendent cosmic intelligence.

>>43658534
I think anon might have been suggesting putting pre-Fall science in as the Civilian capstone and sticking Bonesinging somewhere else. Presumably Seer.
I don't think that's a good idea, though, pre-Fall science made sense in Commorragh since the Dark Eldar kept a lot of that stuff, but the Craftworlders lost pretty much all of it and don't really focus on that area.

>>43658582
Ah well, hopefully that anon has a clearer head tomorrow and just ignores that type.

>>43658584
Eh, Pre-Fall Science makes more sense for the Dark Eldar because they managed to keep a hold of most of it.

Craftworld Eldar don't have many, if ANY, fragments of it.

>>43657706

>>43658618
>>43658646
Oh hey, that's also a thing. Or bonesinging could be the capstone still and pre-fall science could get tossed due to lore. I didn't even think of that.

But I don't know how people will react if manyfist takes out pre-fall science, if earlier in the thread is any indicator. Could it be an expensive undiscounted perk?

Problem with civilian route is Bonesinger is powerful. However do note that it'll probably be a undiscounted perk.

Way I'm thinking of doing it is that the Soltiare, Extarct, Farseer, Bonesinger would be "Lost to the path" undiscounted perk.

Depending on your origin you'll get that perk. Sorta like how Red does her Capstone enchancer perk. Instead it'll give you a powerful perk,l related to your origin.

This represents you unable to tear yourself away from the path and has opened up something worthwhile. Could this change? Sure but for now I want everyone to calm down and let's not be so hostile.

It's still WIP, and I'm pretty mercurial so it might chance before the jump is finished. Just everyone hold your horses, and slow down.

New Topic:
-Does Jumper you have Kleptomania? Wanting to take everything not nailed down for possibility of it being useful later?

>>43658752
Well, taking it out makes sense to me at least now given the lore reasoning. 40K redux doesn't have a complete knowledge of all Dark Age tech perk, after all-just what the Adeptus Mechanus has a handle on

>>43658825
Many, if a perk is undiscounted an origin doesn't 'get' it. No discounts, it belongs to nobody.

Bonesinger isn't worth 800 undiscounted. It should stay 800 and get a discount, just like the other backgrounds should have a discounted 800 perk.

>>43658825
>not be so hostile.

You're asking the impossible, man.

>>43658595
>Way of the Laughing God has Solitaire as an 800 CP perk
Honestly, the non-bonesinger capstones seem kind of... not great at the moment, really. The combat side of Solitaire is pretty decent, but 800CP worth? The blank side is ok, but blocking out the free psyker abilities you'd otherwise get and any other psyker abilities you'd want to buy, many of which are pretty damn fantastic... that's a pretty significant drawback. I mean, the 800CP perk actively cancels out the 200CP perk from the same origin. That's... not a great design for the tree.

The Outsider capstones blocking you from other capstones doesn't seem like a great idea either. Yes, if you get lost on the Path of the Outsider you're not going to be going down the other Paths, but the same is true for getting lost on any of the Paths, and there's nothing stopping you from having, say, walked the Path of the Bonesinger before you walked the Path of the Outsider. Unlike the Solitaire, which would actually make sense, since it's the Drop In.
Unless the order you buy capstones in matters, so you can buy Bonesinger -> Pathfinder but not Pathfinder -> Bonesinger, in which case what's the point in that? Does anyone seriously track that, and is there anything stopping you from just switching the order?

>>43658825
>Sorta like how Red does her Capstone enchancer perk.
That perk lets you buy out of origin you know. That's my biggest issue with your idea too, I don't WANT to get locked into a perk based on my background, let alone for way too much cost.

>>43658825
So much kleptomania. Samples of everything, really. Just enough to untwist it's secrets, and remake it later.

>>43658852
>The blank side is ok, but blocking
*The "immunity to psykers" part of the blank side is ok, but it blocking

The reason i hoard things is because most of the time i loathe throwing it away and i do loot shit...like i take trophies and loot anything i like or want.

....

Yeah its a pretty carefree life.

>>43658825
So, if you want to be any of the origins, you lose 800cp and take (one of) the capstone(s) for that origin?
Or if you want a capstone, it'll cost you 800cp AND your origin choice?

>>43658825
>Does Jumper you have Kleptomania? Wanting to take everything not nailed down for possibility of it being useful later?
Everything? No. I try not to magpie too hard, but I have made off with my share of stuff. I'm more likely to try to copy it or reverse engineer it in place so I can remake it later on my own.

>>43658847
Anon. The pricing isnt final, it probably won't be 800cp no discount. More around 600cp. The reason behind having it way I described is because there's no Farseer Exarchs Solitaries. Once you're lost to a path you're unable to leave.

For instance becoming an Exarch is to become so intune with the hatred and aggressiveness of the Warrior Paths that you can't remove your "warmask". You're unable to file away all that aggression like Most can.

You can rail against the system, but nothing will be the same. Trying to pick up a chisel and carve a statue, in essence trying switch paths. You'll be unable to really do much if you weren't already once upon a time an Artisian.

It's still being worked on in meanwhile I'll try to get more done in near future.

oh yes, and I have EX Rank collector Skill to back it up.

>>43658997
Being able to buy out-of-background perks is part of why we're given a budget instead of a template.

>>43658862
Anon, it's how the Eldar Paths work. You're freely able to use switch Paths multiple times. However when you go down the rabbit hole, there's no turning back. You can't decide "Oh yeah going to be a Farseer and in a century I think I'll join the circus." It's more like being a Farseer is what you are, you'll still be able to call on the skills and abilities of your past. However you'll never not be a farseer until you die (or in Jumper's case jump out).

>>43659055
You can still buy other powers. However once you bought the "Lost To The Path" you're unable to buy it again. So you can't be a Farseer Bonesinger Exarch of Striking Scorpions.

You can be on Path of Civilian and buy path of seer stuff. Just not buying Farseer.

>>43658997
>You'll be unable to really do much if you weren't already once upon a time an Artisian.
Well, that's great, but what if I was once upon a time a Bonesinger? More to the point, what's the point of putting the Spirit Seer perk, the "you can use the spirits of the dead to animate Wraithbone Constructs" perk, in a seperate tree to the one you're going to need to take to make Wraithbone Constructs to use post-jump?

>>43659149
Why?

>>43659228
I think the answer is supposed to be >>43659076, basically. Not sure how I feel about it, though.

>>43659149
>So you can't be a Farseer Bonesinger Exarch of Striking Scorpions.
Ok, but what about a Farseer (ex-)Bonesinger, or a(n ex-)Bonesinger Exarch? Bonesinging is just the standard art of the Path of Shaping, not the Lost On The Path expression of it.

For that matter, what if I want to take Civilian origin to represent my long Eldar life spent walking various art-y paths, grabbing a bunch of perks related to that, and then take Exarch because the woman I loved scorned me, I got mad and joined the Scorpions and then got stuck? This is canon character territory, and not a particularly powerful expression of it at that, but it's locked out because "the paths don't work like that!"?

So, in the fallout jump how exactly does the power tone-down works?
If i'm capable of teleporting anywhere at will for example i can now teleport only a few meters or i get limited usages of the full skill? are those things up to me?
is it possible to use my tech skills to optimize the energy weapons?
do i still have access to the warehouse?
If my pet dragon can go 12 rounds with a deathclaw does it mean i can too melee if i'm more powerful than my dragon?

>>43659228
Because that's exactly how Eldar work in the universe? If you're a Farseer/Exarch/Pathfinder you literally cannot change and ever be anything else until you die.

>>43659265
Thing is, it's a canonical explanation for a background that is basically a canonical insert. Can't win them all. This isn't even Many being spiteful or anything, he's just following what the setting dictated.

>>43659228
>>43659269
Pretty sure it's just the 800 capstone that're locked out if you take one anyway. Not like there isn't precedent for it. The Darksiders jump does it too with it's captones.

>>43659284
>Farseer/Exarch/Pathfinder you literally cannot change and ever be anything else until you die.
Well, that's not actually true. Hell, if a Phoenix Lord can go nuts, fight his fellows and then go join the Dark Eldar I'm pretty damn sure an Exarch or a Pathfinder can do it to.
If you're stuck on the Path, you can't leave it for another Path, but that doesn't necessarily stop you from going "fuck the Paths!" and going full Crazed Eldar.

>>43659338
Darksiders let you buy cross-origin too though.
