I'm actually >>47205540, but I'm of a similar opinion as that other guy. It feels like a generic "make a team of dudes" game, with little to nothing dedicated to the "you're going to be a king" concept. You only get one choice that helps with any diplomatic challenges as well, which makes being a magic user the obvious choice because that'll actually help you out. The skills are all generic MMO skills, with nothing interesting or unique. The princes and princesses are all variations of the same archetype. It's just a mess.

I don't quiiiiite understand the rules for this one. So basically I choose a master with a preset influence setting, and I can pick things that change the influence, and neutral/positive influence allows me to escape his spell?
>>
>>47207682

>little to nothing dedicated to being a king
About the journey, not the end. Stated in last thread.

>Magic user being obvious choice
Legitimate balance issue. I'll rectify that.

>all generic MMO skills
Blood Pact, Sanguine Armor, Spellsteal, Psionic Storm, Slam, Explosive Corpse, Ball Lightning, those are all generic ones too? I don't recall any MMOs having HP and MP boost each other or having me be able to steal buffs from enemies to put onto allies.

I mean yes, there are many generic ones to fill up some of the trees but that's hardly all.

>princes and princesses variations of the same archetype
If you mean whether they'll rule beside you or buzz off and let you do your own stuff, no. Half Giant King gives insight to you, though he doesn't insist he's in charge of your people.

Also, Kymic doesn't mention much on him leading, but there's nothing indicating he's the warrior king leaving ruling to you. He's even firm and outright won't help you if he disagrees with you, that doesn't sound much like him leaving things to you.

For the Princesses, Helena is the only one that isn't "let's rule together" one and I suppose that is a legitimate concern.

So I say you got 1.5 points, but calling it a mess isn't what I'd call it, a mess to me is something that is more prevalent and not a few balance issues and some of the choices being similar.

I really never liked the idea that you automatically succeed your quest. No matter how meticulous your plans are or how easy the quest appears, shit happens.
>>
>>47208371

>>
>>47208419
That and Rollfags come in and waste posts simply rolling, pissing off the mods-that-be. It's what killed /d/'s CYOA community, and brings down the wrath of mod when somebody tries to get it restarted.

Just don't do it. You want rolling? Make a one-page rpg. For some reason, that's acceptable.

>what is ambiguity

The auto-success really doesn't bother me, and I doubt anyone else is imagining failing at the quests, but there are options other than that or rolling.
>>
>>47208499
I just going to take the literally rules of the cyoa at face value and assume that the option that grants you minions and people have to state they are "companions" in order to be valid for sacrifice.

You can use your own interpretations, it doesn't really matter how you define what can't and can be sacrificed getting over 10 per attribute is still fairly easy.
>>
>>47208560
If you do that then you can't list rewards or have multiple quests. IF the level of ambiguity in Titanlands isn't acceptable, and I think it is. Nothing is stopping you from imagining you failed and died instead of winning the reward and moving on to another quest.
>>
>>47208179
Sorry, I tend to bury rules under unnecessarily flowery prose. You're about right. The master gives you a starting influence, and from there you try to get to 0+ influence and get away with the most goodies without being turned into a living sex doll.
>>
Reposting my incomplete PACYOA reskin, looking for feedback/verbal abuse.

Everything is up for change!
>>
>>47208592
All I intended to indicate was that ambiguity was a suitable alternative to auto-success or rolling. Honestly I was kind of surprised that people assumed Titanlands has auto-successes for the quests, though in hindsight that didn't come across in my post.

>About the journey, not the end. Stated in last thread.
Yeah, but the journey doesn't feel related to being a future king. It feels... Like you're doing random quests to entertain the current King. So if he's insane that's one thing, but few of them feel like a "this is supposed to establish you as a successor" moment. Especially regarding the combat ones, because they feel like small squad tactical warfare when what he should be testing are how you handle mid- to large-scale challenges. Like, with a company of soldiers behind you.

>Legitimate balance issue. I'll rectify that.
But that's not even my real point with that complaint. You have a maximum of six combat challenges, and a minimum of four diplomatic. But it's all focused on the combat challenges - the squad-based tactical warfare.

>Blood Pact, Sanguine Armor, Spellsteal, Psionic Storm, Slam, Explosive Corpse, Ball Lightning, those are all generic ones too?
Blood Pact and Explosive Corpse are straight out of Diablo. Sanguine armor feels like a generic "+Def as HP goes down" power. Ball Lightning is a very standard overdrive. Slam and Psionic Storm are somewhat interesting fluff on a generic "do damage" power, and Spellsteal is interesting, though I've seen it in Pokemon and D&D. But these are a handful of techniques out of a hundred, most of which are just filling out trees. Honestly I almost wish you'd cut them out entirely.

>If you mean whether they'll rule beside you or buzz off and let you do your own stuff, no.
Except that is how it feels. Princesses rule alongside you, and don't do anything in battle. Princes fight alongside you, and let you handle the ruling. You should seriously just gender-swap a couple of them, because that would make it a little more interesting.

>calling it a mess isn't what I'd call it
But it is what I'd call it. The fluff is "king's heir," the CYOA is "generic RPG quest-solver," and there's just nothing to fire the imagination.

Tangentially related- someone pointed out that Crown Quest assumes you succeed so that it can then let you pick your spouse, but that's a necessary part of the CYOA, so I think that's forgivable. You can always just imagine it as "if you succeed, then pick your waifu/husbando" anyway.

>>47208741
The idea of the quests is that you're gaining the support of each race, but I get your point. Those quests are more "hero of the land" quests than "future king" quests. In stories, you usually have the hero being rewarded with kingship or marriage to the princess or something, but it does eschew the whole point of being a king. I still like Crown Quest overall, though.

Alright, so obviously I want to fix my curses. Stats are nice, but weird crippling conditions are not. That's an overarching project over the course of the journey, I suppose. Marian and Eva should be interested in helping me with that, and will be useful to begin with. I originally went with Sachi to cover things out, but that meant I was on healing duty. Jesse can take care of that better, and her religion shouldn't be much of an issue, which left me free to swap my starting jewel from Glow to Stoneskin, for tremorsense. My sword is pretty awesome too; it's a sword, magical focus, and musical instrument all in one.

From there, I do my missions. The first two give me four generic points which I use for Return to body, giving me a nice auto-revive to boost my odds of survival something fierce, as well as twenty gold which I'll use on a Siren jewel for Glow, boosting my allies as well. I figure the Talons would come after me because I'm one of some number of people rising to power and I'll need allies, so I took the Princess Rescue for cute girls, getting in good with the elves. Hopefully their resources will help me fix my cursed body, and fund my Great Voyage in the search for neat shit. I'd use the three jewels here on Boiling Blood, Light Beam, and I don't know. Probably Rot/Lightning/Shadeblend. After that, I'll have to help fight off a demonic incursion, appropriating powerful wind and occult magics, and then take over the vampires.

>mid to large scale challenges
They're to gain the support of races, not, "show me your awesomeness as a commander" but I think you do have a good point on that. Still, in the original purpose of the combative quests, he isn't testing out your skills as a leader of soldiers, he just wants you to show him that you're equally (or relatively equally) good at both strength and wisdom.

The Ebony Fist does mention you leading the remaining loyalists to defeat them, and the Barbarian Army says you have to lead the vanguard.

>combat/diplomatic challenges
Then why mention magic users in the first place, genius? How the fuck am I supposed to know you meant "squad based challenges too common" when you said "magic users doubledip stats"?

>cut them out
Since when is something from Diablo something that's generic? What, is something being seen once make it generic? I don't recall Blood Pact being in Diablo, either.

Sanguine Armour I haven't seen in many, if any MMOs.

"generic do damage power" What, is dealing damage not unique enough for you? Does it have to be said as "uses the powers of Shock to speed the opponent towards death" or something?

Standard Overdrive, fine I'll call it that. I don't really care enough to argue too much about the rest, but I kept most of the abilities simple just because think about it: you pick only 4 out of like a hundred or so, there's no need for every ability to have interesting fluff or an entire essay on it since 90% of them won't be read.

And there's nothing wrong with simple abilities, because they work. I mean I can enjoy a really nice looking twirly whirly show of bladework on it but if it has the same effect overall as an axe to the head, why take the twirly whirly?

Now I will say that I've played 2 very much, WoW and Maplestory.

I just explained that 2 of the Princes rule with you, Kymic and we all know the Snow-Prince will. That's 50% of the 4 princes, 2 let you rule on your own. Princesses I can concede to.

Learn to fucking reading comprehension.

I'm done arguing with you. I've said my piece, you've rejected it. That's fine. You don't think there's a problem with "pick four our of a hundred generic skills straight out of League of Legends, Diablo, and World of Warcraft," then you do you.

You're clearly an idiot, so I'll try this again. The problem I have is that your game focuses entirely on the "build a squad" aspect. You only have one, maybe two noncombat choices. The rest of your choices focus around combat. So despite the fact that nominally you're being tested on both, it just feels like a "make a squad" game. That particular issue isn't with the challenges - it's with the fact that you give anywhere from 40% to 60% of a player's goals a ludicrously tiny portion of the focus. Do you understand a little better? Or are you still too goddamn thick?

God, it's like you're a fucking moron.

>You only get one choice that helps with any diplomatic challenges as well, which makes being a magic user the obvious choice because that'll actually help you out.

>magic user being obvious choice

So my solution to the diplomatic issue was to let other stats double dip, and that would also help solve it.

Then you go tard mode and complain that it's not the issue.

Does your fucking stupid ass not realize that by making say Swiftness or Might also boost diplomacy in some way, that would be giving more choice to the improvement of diplomacy?

And the squad of companions isn't just for fighting. You notice some have very high Charm? That can help in diplomacy as well. It's not just, "make this team of the best muderhobos" because if you bring 4 pure murderhobos into a diplomatic meeting, they're going to fuck it up.

Also, nice how you completely ignored how 2 of the Combative Quests are also army based, and that I admitted you were right on some points. I guess your tunnel visioned eyes can only see things that disagree with you?

>>47209968
People will still listen to you more if you don't call them an arrogant asshole.
>>
>>47209767
Some of the options are strictly better than others - compare Loadstone Goods to Drakescale and Opium Poppies, or Pastries to Plump Helmets. Some also just feel like much better choices - Spices give you 9 for 7 risk, while Orcs are 10 for 7 and Dragan are 9 for 5. Admittedly there's a tradeoff in influence vs. wealth, but still...

It's also kind of weird that you can nominally be a goods trader or narcotics trader and do nothing but sell slaves, but that's just a silly bit of fluff.

I do like the changes to the classes and transportation, though. Much more interesting.

Hey cyoa, I have a quandary. After enjoying many a cyoa, I feel the need to contribute and create my own. I think I've got a good idea for one, however, I am not well versed in any image editing software (bar ms paint). since this is the first cyoa I've done, I think it will probably take me quite a bit of time since I would also have to learn how to use some decent software.

My question is this; would you prefer a fully fleshed out cyoa, all fancy and with pictures, or an image-less version that I would be able to produce much quicker? In general, how important are images to your cyoa experience? Thanks for your imput.

Since there is no clear conversion on it I took 9 ATK for +9 STR, 8 DEF and 8 STA for +8 END, 7 AGI and 7 SPD for +7 AGI, and 9 INT for +9 INT. I'm aware you can only buy so much armor and arms though I didn't buy past it. I just ended up with more stuff from the skills and things that I assumed still counted since I didn't buy them. The scummiest thing I did was interpret "Free range weapon" or "Free Shield or Ranged" for an excuse to take Exotic as Throwing Stars and get more points. Sacrificed as many companions as I could for points. Didn't list which ones because it ultimately doesn't matter since they're dead.

Something like pic related except more draconic for the human bits since I took Ugly/Disfigured. Modeled more after an eastern dragon than a western one.

The goal is to gain as much power as possible while preserving as much of your pride as you can. To aid in this, there's a convenient amnesia option that will allow you to push your old memories and hang-ups into the corner, where much of your debt should begin clearing up before you manage to tug it back out. I realize I may be alone in considering it worth the price, though.
>>
>>47210028
Yeah, your specialty and what you actually do are only nominally tied together but enforcing that feels overly restrictive.

I'll maybe take a look at the numbers on products in the future. I think part of it is also that wealth feels tangible, and influence is just a vague measure. Thanks for the feedback, though.

Couldn't they just brand themselves with the maul?

The Maul states that only Branded can wield it, so I don't think they can. I mean, I guess you could try and brand yourself by forcing yourself on it, but you'd think the creators of the Maul would have planned for that.

So, I need a bit of clarification. You need to pick two captains, and a hand. But do you pick two people and pay for them, and then a third for free. Is that how that works

I hadn't thought of using some of the companions that count as two or three as different sacrifices. That absolutely seems fair though given that they are actually different people. Changing things around on my build >>47210272 using that and it would end up like:
PER: 13.5, STR: 18, END: 23.25, CHA: 11.5, INT: 32, WIS: 32, AGI: 12.5
Though I only end up sacrificing eight instead of nine because I can ink out more point with some of those coins than with a sacrifice and curses aren't for me as I want to be alive and pretty. I think if we combined our builds we'd end up with the most broken build possible because while I wanted to break things I still wanted balance enough that I wouldn't mind living as the character.

Bravo though.

I presume it hatches at some point, and then you have your own tiny gryphon, dragon, or succubus to raise up to adulthood.

I'm just going to beat the dead horse and say that this whole shitstorm exists because some anons couldn't accept that you can just mentally cross out the sentence "You must marry someone of the opposite gender" with "Go ahead and gay it up, it's 2016". You don't need the CYOA's creator to agree with you for you to enjoy it, and the only result was clogging the thread with a barely relevant name calling contest instead of anything actually about the CYOA.

So for the flamer, cloak, and other options, should I make it so that it can recharge on it's own, or should it be that you have to scrounge the desert for resources?

also I don't want to hear any more fucking bitching about the homosexuality. If you want to have gay sex you can, you just gotta have kids with the man or woman you married, and you can't have kids with someone else.

also just 1 kid is not a good idea, 2 is a good. 1 for backup.

I understand your feelings, but point out that you can't expect these guys to not stop bitching. It's essentially a part of the circle of life now.

As for your Desert Soldier question, I'd say to have 1-5 free recharges before you have to scrounge for resources. That way it isn't piss easy or frustratingly difficult at the start.

I would make them recharge, or else they'd probably end up functioning as a one and done because of lack of resources. Maybe make them recharge with food and rest like a torn muscle if you want to keep people from spamming?

No, I mean I can't fuck up the kingdom by siring half a dozen myself?
Not that I'm going to because I'm pretty sure that won't help me ascend as High God King.
>>
>>47211964
Part of the problem is that most scenarios that present you with the ability to take a throne tend to lend themselves to everything going pretty smoothly, so while it's historically accurate, it probably kind of bums people out when a game tells them they have to sign up for a shallow, loveless charade and do the things they enjoy in secret. I'm not just talking about gay people, here, but just in general. I saw a few people complaining about how they didn't like any of their choices.
>>
>>47211996
Yeah I was thinking of the food and rest thing but it's a little weird with that. Kind of like, "wow I shot my last jet of plasma. Better eat this cake so I can shoot more" I guess it's more interesting than, "wow I shot my last particle beam, better take out one of my million fusion cores I keep stored away"

As for siring bastards, that's a big no no. It's not considered wrong to feel love for someone of your gender and to lay with them, but to bear or to father your child with another is something considered grotesque and is culturally not acceptable.

No NTR, basically. People are adverse to it like it's the fucking plague, and of course you're the High King so everyone knows you are and that you're married to a person.

>>47212002
There was that 1 anon who asked if Mind Sap could be used on their spouse so they didn't have to have them rule beside them. Clever bastard.

I could add more options, but I was running out of unique races at that point. The last 2 are basically from the north of Westeros and the Helena and Softris are basically, "Skyrim got fucked up, marry this girl." I felt if I added too much it would be a really weird waifu section.

Siring bastards is a standard passtime for royalty. I mean, you can disapprove of it, but there's nothing you can really do to stop it, especially once the king steps down. You definitely can't say he has a geas or mind reading ring or something to prevent you, and that's the best I got.

Properly edited text is much more important than pretty images, I'd say.
>>
>>47212077
I was thinking with someone of the opposite sex because wow, mpreg is disgusting, but OK.
As for the plasma I was thinking your body breaking food down for fuel over the course of a few hours not a literal cake = ammo.
>>47211985
But do you swear on buttstuff?
>>
>>47211301
It says, "They must be the opposite gender of you to bear children." Not that they have to be the opposite gender, but to bear children. Which amusingly enough would imply that a woman picking a male husband would imply he's the one getting pregnant. And with that literal interpretation I am away.

One day I'll get over the fact that not all planes of a given generation are created equally and it's better for the balance of the CYOA if all planes within a generation cost the same amount of $$$.

But I'll hate myself forever when I do that because the disparity between planes just in 4th gen is extreme.

Also I kind of don't feel like throwing all the Special Weapons under one misc. you can buy for the plane, but then I feel like I'd have to give them stats or bonuses even though you're not using them most of the time anyway, since they're SPECIAL weapons.

Something more concrete regarding influence would be helpful, but I think the most important thing is to deal with the strictly better options. Given the choice between Cayote Peppers (3, 2, 2), Bloodbeer (2, 3, 2), or Beastkin (same), why would you ever go for Songwood or Sweetgrass? Similarly, unless you're really a fan of the elf slave wat do meme, why would you pick Elves (3, 1, 3) over Cayote peppers?

This is pure autism, but that shouldn't be possible. Something about taste receptors in your mouth shutting off due to overstimulation. It's the same reason you stop tasting gum, but if you take the piece out and chew it again later, it'll have taste again
That, or my teacher is a filthy liar.

The enzymes in your saliva can break down starch into smaller sugar carbohydrates. That's why bread tastes somewhat sweeter the longer you chew it. That could be an explanation as to how sweetgrass could work.

Bless you, anon. Two things though.

You really should add something about betraying the organization since so many builds we're focused on that in the original.

You need to give us a reasonable explanation for why we're getting so many perks. I mean we could already become final boss tier and I bet that with the new perks you'll be making we'll become a lot stronger than that. It makes no sense for an evil organization to give a new recruit so much raw power.

I feel like you probably get all types here. The only commonality is "likes CYOAs". That said I'm really all over the place in terms of interests. Slut Life and Enchante/d/ Rings are great for self-inserting into subby/slutty/rape fantasy stuff but I had a lot of fun making a powerful Demoness in No John you are the Demons. Then, as long as it's the type of setting you're looking for, Rapture Academy is good for both.

CYOAs are good for fetish shit because they give you the setting and the guidelines for making a character and then it's very easy to bring imagination into the mix.

>betraying the organization

>why we're getting so many perks
I'm thinking about after doing so many missions for the organization the leader would want to make you a sub-commander for one of their smaller bases. Basically you have proved yourself worthy through various tasks and now you're strong enough to expand their organization by becoming one of the sub-leader, having your own base and minions.
I think this is where you can choose to make it as big as the organization or gather forces to overthrow them.

Punishment (assuming it's not disabled by Sanguine) - Weakened.

So all I have to do for immortality is convince 6 girls to put on a ring and join a harem. I've sweetened the pot a bit by making all of the slave rings grant limited immortality as well. I can use the obedience trigger to prevent any chance of the punishment blowing back on me. None of the drawbacks are particularly severe from their perspective, assuming I'm not a dick with the triggers - the worst is probably Alt Sustenance, which means they'll have to have sex with each other whether or not they're bi.

Add to that I'll get 600,000K a year free, so I can support all 6 girls fairly easily, and the offer starts to look pretty attractive. They only have to know what the drawbacks are, not that they're deliberately stacked so that I don't have to have any.

All in all, this works out extremely well with basically no downside for me personally, except finding some subs and keeping them happy.

And hey, if I have a hard time finding enough girls through normal channels, I can always start sweeping cancer wards with a cure. I recognize that I am a complete monster, but there is seriously no one I would not take advantage of if it meant I would live forever.

>>47215837
Well, it looks like your slave rings aren't nearly as bad as they could've been. There's definitely a lot of room for you to use your position, of course.

I might've put Shapechanger on my slave rings in this case. Horny, Altruist, and Not by Myself would cover the points and make the girls much much more willing to have sex with you/each other without it technically being compulsory through the magic of the rings.

Just my thoughts though! I'm glad to see a dom build for this.

>>47215990
I thought about doing that, actually, but I spent a LOT of the time for this build making the rings as painless as possible while also deliberately avoiding the 'must' keyword, since punishments would trigger on me and I'm not sure I want to babysit 6 people with trigger commands. The other factor is that I have to get people to put them on willingly, and every incremental step limits the pool just a little more (which is why Parasite was off the table).

Maybe Altruism, Horny and High Output, which would still cover the cost of shapeshifting. But I don't think I'd go for it.

(the downside of not drawback loading the fuck out of the slave rings is that I need six of the damn things)

I really like that build, though with rings that kind of demand a harem like that to work, I'm wondering if perhaps the Ring of Domination should have drawbacks affect the wearer of the master ring if too much time goes by without someone wearing the slave rings.

Been thinking of making my own CYOA set in a fantasy world.

Probably something related to goblins, along the lines of "Of Orcs and Men" with the goblins having been enslaved by all the other sapient races of the continent for several hundred years.

Weaker, shorter and all-around ill-suited to fight humans (and pretty much any other humanoid) on even footing, the gobbos' enslavement was never really argued against by the other races; dwarves, humans, elves, orcs, lizardfolk... all of them are big proponents of the slave trade. The masters are cruel and oppressive at worst, and indifferent to "goblin liberty" at best, with no non-goblins wanting to rock the boat and make themselves into a target, and goblins themselves being securely prevented from large-scale uprisings by magical means (enchanted slave collars, etc).

The way I envision it, in this world the slave trade is pretty massive, and since it generates entire mountains of gold every year the slavemasters aren't exactly keen on changing the status quo, nor are they opposed against just hiring assassins to "remove" troublemakers from other races.

Thoughts, people? Does this sound like something you'd be interesting in seeing?

>>
>>47216858
Sounds good but very specific. Still though, will there be shortstack slaves?

This is important.
>>
>>47215214
So after reading the cyoa itself and all this thread's bullshittery, I figure what would need to be specified/changed to fix the cyoa, is:

1) Can only use the occult companion sacrifice once, the sacrifice must come from the specified companions page, and companions that are technically more than one person still count only as one
2) can only wield one two-handed weapon item (greatsword,great axe, polearms, rifles, cannons, bows, heavy hammer) or two one-handed weapon items (everything else) at once, unless multitooled
3) multitools can only be composed of two individually picked weapons
4) can only buy each lesser magical skill once
5) each quest should have a set of total party skill and/or magic requirement.

>>
>>47216932
>>47216938
I should mention, the way I envisioned it, the player will come into this world as a goblin. Not as a human. The entire point of the CYOA is to see and interact with a world where the Adventurer will never (well, *almost* never, its possible but just really hard to do) be regarded as an equal or someone of importance, except among other goblins.

Certain brothels offer "shortstack" goblins as one of their "services", and some wealthy merchants, nobles and chieftains keep "well-endowed" goblins around, both male and female...

So in conclusion, yes, there are shortstack slaves, shortstack maids and shortstack harems... and being a goblin, you're gonna have to work REALLY hard to get access to them. Or potentially just hire the shortstack "Escaped Maid" goblin companion for quick lewd times.

But in general, it sucks being a goblin in this world.

>>
>>47217065
Well, if that's what the player wants to do while they're in the world, that's alright. But no, the player will be left free to explore the world in whatever way they please.

If they want to start freeing their goblin brethren and lead a revolution where they kill every other race (or enslave them, as poetic justice), that's cool.

If they want to try to peacefully make the rest of the world see how this enslavement is wrong and that they should stop it, that's something the player could do.

If they want to just keep living as a slave or servant, potentially with a *very* sexy master or mistress? Whatever floats their boat.

If the players wants to give no fucks and want to just hide out in a corner of the wilderness and stay there for the next ten years, that works too.

Less about "you were born a slave, and you will die a slave" and more "being a goblin sucks, so whatcha gonna do about it, faggot?".

I don't think it needs re-work, since it's not actually free points. If you can't manage the harem, you have no escape - the master ring is permanent, so the only way it can be granted to another if you're tired of the harem life (or inept at it) is to die.

>all this thread's bullshittery
Most people that make min-max builds don't take it too seriously, the CYOA doesn't really have any major issues as long as the player is sensible, it's just a bit of fun too see how broken it can get.

The best way to solve the sacrifice issue would be to just remove it completely.

>2
The way equipment influences stats is... weird, but, from what I can remember from back when the CYOA was released, you're actually supposed to get all the stats all the time.

>3
I'm a bit divided on this one, yes multitooling multitools is kind of bullshit, but at the same time it can actually make sense in some instances.

>4
I've never seen this happen, even back when the CYOA was new and the min-maxing was at it's peak.

Good idea, maybe add in stats as well and some way of compensating in other areas if you don't meet one of the criterion.

Nah, I just like CYOAs that let you earn your prosperity from difficult circumstances.

Well I wasn't taking my criticisms too seriously either really. I think limiting it to a single sacrifice is fair, but removing it further unbreaks things so eh.
I can tell all weapons are meant to be constant, but using a bow, great sword and cannon at once is unholy. I'd have put certain weapons into seperate rows and specified that they can only be multitooled with things in the same row, and certain rows are 2h only, or something.
I get the feeling some people would take stone skin and stuff more than once, and specifying "only once" also solves the above sacrifice issue as well.
If I was better with photoshop I might actually do it all, but I'm terribad, so it doesn't matter anyway.
