CYOA general

What's the best-written CYOA?
Which is the best visually?

Alice.
Hell if I know, probably Kingdom Crusher/Diplomacy.

I have a question, what do people think of multiple currencies like in Solar Inheritance? Is it interesting or pointless?

Remember that one fantasy cyoa (came in pdf) with the nice skeleton warrior guy who protected kids, and the absentminded old illusionist...? I can't find it but the companions were well-written for sure.

>best visually
I dunno, Broquest?

>>47633273
Luvyna, and Valerie because they're long running friends that cover my weaknesses and Luvyna is a cute, Crale because a moral compass in not a bad thing for a mage to have and heals are great. Elsoise because healing is still great. Duxix because he's hilarious. And I can steal his mana.

Question for you: how exactly does enhancement work? What does it do? Do we need to know other forms of magic to enchant into the target, or does it have it's own unique effects?

>>47633251
Could you describe some stuff like Summoning some more? Like what kinds of summons you can have, how long they can be summoned for, how strong/what kinds of abilities do the summons have.

Too many idea guys and not enough programmers for the game Broquest I believe.

>>47633251
st. flares is probably the weakest school because survival, dungeoneering and monster hunting have a lot of overlap. and the most important part of dungeoneering, spotting and avoiding traps, is split into a seperate skill.

aside from that, the weakest option is probably teamwork. maybe it could be made into more of a leadership skill.

incidentally, necromancy could do with a better picture, the one currently there is a bit stretched.

Born to the Bluewood's court magei, Alaric had freakishly strong mana reserves. So much so that negatively impacted his health, and that he frequently damaged himself and everything in his surroundings when he attempted to practice his magic. Many of the children thought he was cursed and shunned him because of this, leading him to be very loyal to the few that would stick with him. With a recommendation from the Bluewood's Leige he found his way into Lunestier to control his strength, and quickly lead him to being a powerful arcane and illusion mage, as well as an improvement to his health.

That work for a description M8?

Name:
Khalid "Crystal Aurora" Eral, they both mean the same thing in different languages funnily enough.

Originally Eral had planned to take summoning as an elective; however this would have cut into his time to study the Pure element, indulge his penchant for alchemy, and the manifestations of the Pure within reality. He was incredibly distressed by this until he stumbled upon that girl talking to Pure beings. What a shock that was. It was then that he decided he would devote his time to learning how to manipulate the Purity while studying the creatures and the girl. All the ultimate goal: the ability to move between the Pure lands and the Tainted.

>>47634435
> All the ultimate goal: the ability to move between the Pure lands and the Tainted.

I.e how to become immortal and/or use magic to its fullest potential. The world is just a strange and disgusting filter through which the manifestations of the Pure element are but shadows. Also slavery is wrong, so the Basilisk Den and all those who support it need to go. Learning how Bathsheba, an robotic lifeform, figured out how to create a mark within the pure lands and thus gain sentience + a soul-- potentially the use of Purity as well--also seems like a worthwhile pursuit. Might as well help Cass and Dax since they're there.

Born poor, Anders has seen the struggles and injustices that the less-fortunate face. Wanting to help end this, and needing to increase his already astounding strength, he joined Uzuza. Hearing the stories of Az, Anders was inspired, but he will never really buy into the whole "anti-magic" way of thinking. The only reason he's studying Mage Hunting is because it is seen as one of the tougher paths to take, and it may well come in handy later. At the end of the day, Anders just wants to help people be happy. Mage or not.

All around, Anders is a big softie. Tough as nails, but empathetic and altruistic.

>>47633251
Most of the classes are fine but have significant overlaps. You have 3 different martial fighting classes [Martial, Ranged, Unarmed] and 3 different martial commanding classes [Tactics, Teamwork, Maneuvers (cause of the battlefield awareness aspects)], and 5-7 magic classes, depending on where you put Ki, potions, Bardic Arts. This wouldn't be a problem, but the system encourages specialization since you can reinvest in a class to make it better. Then there's things like Arcane Magic substituting for any other magic, general knowledge being vague, what physical training can do exactly, and this is without getting into the school specific classes. So all of them work fine on their own, but building a well rounded character isn't encouraged here and specialist builds are kinda dull, since they just pick 2 or 3 skills and go whole hog.

That isn't even getting into the flavor issues of when you pick up these classes. You can't take them all at once, but the events are supposed to take place in certain years so what abilities would you have at what times is relevant. The system would work much better on a whole if it was like a skill tree instead of as straight pool, like the university CYOA from a while back. Make the magic classes branch off of arcane, stuff like that.

>>47635210
You wouldn't fuck a fox.

>>47635283
>Fighting with a sword.
>Overlapping with using a bow.

>>47635283
You sit there and talk up well-rounded, but a skill tree would encouraged over-specialization even harder, because to get access to the good classes you would have to take all the shitty skills you didn't want that come before it. So either you invest all-in or you're not worthwhile. Not to mention that skills earlier in the tree would be, by implication, far worse than later skills. So by that token you'd be making skills meant to be at parity trash that nobody would use.

For example, right now I can make a magic knight. Maybe not the best, but I can do it. But in a skill tree, I wouldn't be able to make a good one at all, because I wouldn't have enough points to be sufficiently proficient in both martial and magical skills. Hell, depending on cost I might not even be ABLE to become the kind of magic knight I want to be, because proper sword skills or water magic or whatever might be near the very end of the tree. That makes much more narrow builds, in the end.

The university one only worked because there were, what, five different magic schools, total? And you still had to struggle to be good at more than one thing. This CYOA has a much wider scope that doesn't make it tenable.

>>47635294
Fuck you, fox girls are the GREATEST IN THE WORLD!

>>47635283
One way to help with this could be getting to pick 2 or 3 classes you can tag as having mastered while splitting the rest between having reached advanced level and basic level. This way you get more choices class-wise and maybe more diverse builds.

Lunestier is the best school. Of course it's preferable, all else being equal.

Diplomacy, dueling

>>47635311
Yes. There is overlap between these classes

>>47635393
That isn't necessarily true. Skills up a skill tree are not necessarily more powerful than other skills, just more specialized. Picking a skill would represent an additional ability, not a replacement, but by tying them to a lower skill you eliminate potential redundancies.

>>47635441
As of right now, you can do that and leave yourself with 4 and 1 point respectively. If you're talking about a potential revision, I'm not sure what you're getting at.

>>47636001
Sorry for the late chime in. Personally I really like the idea of skill trees... Just not in this cyoa. I've intentionally written the classes vague so that players can better mold their ideal character. It's weird compromise between balence and player freedom. Hope this justifies my decision well enough

Were their any other questions I missed?

>>47636001
>>47635441
What I mean is that you pick 10 different classes and, for example, tag 2 of them with mastery, 3 others with advanced and the rest are at basic proficiency. This way you have 10 unique classes while still having areas of focus.

>>47636001
>Yes. There is overlap between these classes
No, no there's not. Using a bow is nothing like using a sword and both serve different functions.

>>47636073
You should probably point that at Box, see if he likes it.

>>47636001
>That isn't necessarily true.
But it is the implication, especially if you do things like try and lump melee and magic styles into single trees.

>>47636066
Yeah, I wanted to know how enhancement magic worked. Do I need to learn other kinds of magic to enchant my equipment with, or does enhancement magic have its own unique list of spells/enhancements? I need to know if I should budget for additional magic classes or not.

>>47636145
I can't blame him, variety is the spice of life and all that.

>>47636119
You'll learn some basic stuff but I would recommend taking one or two levels in a normal magic class

>>47636135
This is actually near identical to the original draft. I ultimately ended up scrapping it because it felt to limiting to player build paths. It also didn't gel well with how the cyoa was worked at the time.

However I still enjoy the idea and wouldn't mind using it for a future cyoa, just not this one

>>47636127
I guess it got cut off in the latest draft. The word following should be 'arts'

>>47636001
>There is overlap between these classes
There is? I'd get rolling them into one, but it seems like a very different skill set to me.

I really think skill trees would be the way to go in academic "learn to be an adventurer" cyoa's. They naturally segment a player's progress into time intervals, which solves the problem of what abilities you have when you do one of the challenges. If I had half the free time I used to, I'd get on doing it myself. But a non-mathematician accessible skill graph would require graphic design skills that I just don't have. Things were simpler in the old days when everybody made CYOAs in paint and waifus were bad form.

Pic related though its obviously unfinished. I haven't even indicated which of the edges lack inverses.

Sebastian Fairmonte is heir to one of the great mercantile empires, raised to nobility after famed diplomat and trader "King of Coins" brokered an accord between five warring kingdoms against the 86th Great Threat. Sebastian inherited his ancestor's charm and business sense, though some nobles look down on the "uppity salesman." Privately Sebastian has doubts of his own: Does someone who can't cast magic or swing a sword belong at a "hero school"? Determined to make his mark with his own talents, he's far from useless in battle but is at his best when working with others.

A keen shot with crossbows and throwing knives, Sebastian's forte is tactics and teamwork: He can get the most out of his allies and adjusts strategies on the fly. He's also obscenely rich and is happy to spend his gold in support of friends.


Not sure if the 9 standard courses + 1 exclusive course means you can take the exclusive course multiple times for more skill or if retaking courses is something you can only do with the standard classes.

I think you should be more specific about the "speciality class" bit.

Is it a one and done deal that is auto lvl3? Or is it just a single slot that can only be a school specific class?

Because pending on which, this may heavily alter my choices

This is a high-quality CYOA: It felt like just enough lore, giving a framework without making it a slog to read. Class-wise I think some courses need either explicit buffs or to be combined with others:
- Traps should probably be folded into Dungeoneering or Stealth (because rogue).
- Manuevers could be part of Physical Training since Manuevers is also physical training to a different end. Consider dropping Manuevers and adding a note to Physical Training that most students focus on one aspect or the other, improving strength and endurance or speed and agility?
- Knowledge seems overly narrow. Maybe make it general academia, giving a broad knowledge base, then have the student choose a field to focus on.
- Teamwork feels underwhelming. Maybe it also improves leadership/the ability to direct others instead of just work with them?

As far as Companions go, I appreciated the variety and took the ones I did to round out the party, but also because Luvyna and Valerie are childhood friends. Farhat seems like a bro and Eloise is there because healing is good plus she can be backup in a pinch. Also I like the idea of Sebastian acquiring a cute "little sister" who secretly wants to dissect anyone who gets close to him. Picked Suzette because networking/potential waifu/combat mage. Plus Inas writes Sebastian into her chuuni backstory after they're picked for the ball.

I liked the Events in general as springboards for worldbuilding/writefagging: For example, Sebastian getting an invite to the Basilisk's Den due to his family's obscene wealth and potentially semi-legal activities. Thanks for going the extra mile with those!

>>47636595
Looks really interesting anon if you want I can try to apply my graphic design skills to this

>>47636760
My own two cents on potential changes

Teamwork and Tactics should really be rolled up into one class

Also, we have too many tomboy Knight girls, and not enough dudes.

>>47636756
I think I edited a wrong version. The class system doesn't work like that anymore. Current system is that you get 10 classe slots that you can fill out with any class from the first page or your school, thus you can take lv1-3 with any of those skills

Sorry if it caused any unnecessary confusion

I was thinking that too, but not sure if Box wanted them to be two different courses intentionally ex. someone wants to make a tactically superior guy who also hates people and is a terrible team player. Otherwise it seems like they'd be aspects of the same course.

Geogabra. It's a geometry tool mostly, but to get this kind of graph just use segments and points.

>>47636767
That seems like a good idea. I always found laying out and making the image to be the longest and hardest part of any of my CYOAs. It could be a while before I can get something workable ready, I have classes to teach, proofs to write, and lots of whisky that will go bad if I don't get at it.

My email address is on the attached image.

>>47636818
Sorry about that, I got lazy and finding anime dude art is hard.

While I was thinking about combining some classes I really don't think these are good candidates. In my mind tactics and team work are very different things. One is based around planning and the other is about how well you work with others.

Think about it like this, rts games can be some of the most demanding games around yet they are almost always single player. Common sense would be to lesson the burden on the player by allowing them to team up with a friend. Yet they don't. This is because being of strong tactical sense and having the ability to work together are not mutually exclusive. Ever hear the term to many cooks?

Idk maybe I'm just rambling

>>47636927
>My email address is on the attached image.
Is it supposed to be okay that you're taking this discussion out of the thread so you can force what you want on Box without letting us have any input on what happens to the CYOA?

>>47637005
>We aren't really taking the discussion out of the thread
>setting the ground work for possible future collabs
Meaning that discussion won't happen in the thread. And he wants to force his skill tree on your current CYOA.

>>47636595
I'm not a huge fan of skill trees. They tend to be quite limiting, in that they force you to take things you might not want or need, so you're wasting resources when you could be using them to make the character you actually want. That can make builds that would otherwise be very interesting complete non-options. I find it's also very difficult to get them to make any sort of sense.

>>47636972
I don't know what you think occult means but I don't think it means the same to you as he thinks it means.

Also, it's not very clear but I don't think divine is attached to smithing. That line is attaching divine to druidism, it just goes through the smithing dot.

>>47636967
Princess pussy. I can't resist the chance of dirtying the royal bloodline with my peasant seed.

>>47636967
Like I said here >>47636599 it's partly because Sebastian's from a merchant house and befriending royalty seems like a good business move, plus she's a magical prodigy and I needed a combat caster. Also Sebastian is familiar with multiple rungs on the social ladder so he can show Suzette around and she can ooh and ahh over commoner living.

Maybe Sebastian invents ghetto tourism for this world, charging sheltered nobles to shuttle them around and see how the lesser folk live.

>>47637026
Occult means demonology, working with demons.

>>47637016
Maybe there was a miscommunication then.

Let me state this then here and now. I will not but skill trees into Hero Acedemy. While I think they have their places in cyoas I don't think they will work in this particular cyoa

However I like the train of thought he has and would love to pick his brain at a latter date with cluttering up future threads

I would argue that demonology is a subset of Occult

>>47637048
It's a lot vaguer and broader than that. I'm guessing it's being used here as a stand-in for "basic magical knowledge".

valerie bluewood - i like the tomboy childhood friend angle
sera - healers are a must for any good party
kengen - pretty strong and he seems like he could be a real bro
bathsheba - having a robot with superhuman strength on the team would be a great addition, and it'd be great to watch her grow as an individual
kaerulaus - a monster slayer is good to have around when dealing with oversized enemies

shrazad is the odd one out in his family. his parents and siblings are all skilled warriors and bodyguards in service to high ranking nobles, but shrazad never had the physical strength to excel in melee combat. instead, he focused his efforts towards spellcasting and learning to outsmart enemies. he loves the thrill of battle and taking on strong opponents.

in combat, shrazad uses his mobility to stay out of the enemies reach while laying down magical traps to wear them down before finishing it with a devastating spell. his elemental magic and tactical knowledge lets him control the flow of battle.

feel free to use my character as a companion

>>47637026
Also if druidism is working with nature, it doesn't mean you have to suck off deities to have that connection to nature.

>>47637089
You can argue it, but that's not how it's used.

>>47637098
It's being used wrong in that case.

For what he might INTEND, a basic magic class is useless filler. It punishes magic-based builds by forcing them to take a class that doesn't do anything and wasting points, it's basically a tax. It's not a good thing to include just to force a skill tree.

My party is relatively balanced (considering I'm Uzuza and can't pick half the characters), with a good mix of personalities. Sera is "team mom" and covers healing, Malyvin is our skill monkey and strategist, and then we have the four fighters: Kara'Tee deals with magical opponents, Damion is our ranged attacker, Yung Tashi is a reliable frontliner, while I act as a nuclear bomb.

I don't know if I got the events right, I just decided to pick one per year because it's easier that way. I'm building up from more trivial stuff to a grand finale facing off with the other schools.

>The occult (from the Latin word occultus "clandestine, hidden, secret") is "knowledge of the hidden".[1] In common English usage, occult refers to "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable",[2] usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes taken to mean knowledge that "is meant only for certain people" or that "must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.[3] The terms esoteric and arcane can also be used to describe the occult,[4][5] in addition to their meanings unrelated to the supernatural.

You must not talk to anyone who actually believes in this shit.

Beyond that, you are ignoring the main point, aren't you? The fact that an 'occultism' class is useless filler and a point tax?

>>47637257
I actually agree that occultism is just filler. This is the first time I've said anything to you.

I'll take your word for it on the definition thing.

>>47637280
By "this is the first time" I meant that >>47637244 was the first time. Woops.

>>47637002
I don't hate them Crale is best girl . It's just that too many and it dilutes the coolness and also makes it super hard to pick one.

It's a matter of Quality vs Quantity

>>47637211
Also ghosts, aliens, chemtrails, tulpas, angels, miracles, and our reptilian overlords. Unless you believe all of those are demons (which to be fair, I have seen that before) then demons are simply a sub-category of occult things.

Also, to answer this objection >>47637257. Occult would be a point tax if you had to pay points for it. The idea behind it and the other two purple nodes was that you get two (and only two) of them for free at the start. Then you build the rest of your power set. But as I was going through Box's list and retrofitting it, that would leave social under powered, so the class list would need some rebalancing. That's why its something I wanted to take out of the thread, since there are immediate problems with the idea that I wanted to address before presenting it again.

>>47637122
>For what he might INTEND, a basic magic class is useless filler. It punishes magic-based builds by forcing them to take a class that doesn't do anything and wasting points, it's basically a tax. It's not a good thing to include just to force a skill tree.

I wouldn't say it's useless, I've seen at least one person (and I think more) voluntarily take "magic theory" as their knowledge class.

>>47637334
>That's why its something I wanted to take out of the thread
Where people couldn't question the idea itself?

>>47637334
And what about druidism requiring you to spend time on your knees for the gods? You can't be foreign to the idea of druids being connected to nature itself and not some asshole holy god.

>>47637365
Even the person who came up with it thinks it's useless.

>>47637381
That is not necessarily what that edge means. Edges could indicate both are pre-requisites, only one is, or that druidism unlocks a class option. As I said when I initially posted the diagram, I had not even labeled which edges lack inverses, let alone what their full relationship was.

And it is not useless, simply not useful enough to stand as its own skill. There is a distinction.

>>47637381
>Even the person who came up with it thinks it's useless.

So what? I disagree with them. I could see having general magic knowledge being useful even if you were playing a fighter with no magic, it would be even more useful for a mage. Stuff like the basic theory behind magic and how it works, identifying magical items and spells, recognising different types of magical entities and their properties, knowing the history of mages and their organizations. If magic is a big deal in the world then the more you know about it, the better you're equipped to deal with it.

For the record, you sound like you have a bit of a complex about gods.

>>47637491
None of those are practical skills. It's raw academics. As I said, it would manifest as nothing more than a point tax to people trying to play magic builds.

>For the record...
I have a complex about having to be slave to another entity for power, whether god or demon.

Question for when the Worm CYOA guy checks the thread, does Final Form come with Godslayer as it is implied in the text or does it need to be purchased independently?

>>47637511
>be slave to another entity for power, whether god or demon.
It's not enslavement. Its entirely optional , its fully your choice, and its essentially employment by said power, its just that instead of money you get payed in cosmic power, and chances are you willingly employed yourself to a being who's interests and standard almost perfectly align with your own. Its essentially having a dream job

>>47637640
>It's not enslavement.
It is if you want to be a Druid. It makes sense to HAVE to be a slave to a god to use divine magic, or to HAVE to be a slave to demons to use demonic magic, but Druidism is flexible enough to simply run off of a connection to nature itself, and not a being demanding you service it.

>chances are you willingly employed yourself to a being who's interests and standard almost perfectly align with your own.
This would have to be a world with thousands to millions of small gods to perfectly encapsulate every possible motivation to serve their spheres.

Why remotely control Mage Armor, leaving you exposed, when you can wear it like Power Armor? Enhance my already potent body to superhuman levels with Mage Armor.

As for companions, Bathsheba and Znanje have obvious synergy. The Odesium companions are my favorite out of the school-exclusive companions so I decided to take them all. We all combine fairly well too; our biggest weakness is the lack of a dedicated magic user or healer, but we make up for it in most every way other.

As for events, I plan on asking the Escort girl if she wants to possess my Mage Armor for the foreseeable future. She gets to stay near me and see the world, I get an ally in my armor. Znanje can study the possession and Bathsheba to hopefully get a better idea of creating life. Jiel, Znanje, or I could are all talented enough to present for the Research Proposal.

Coincidentally, this would make for perfect Druids, especially since druidism has its roots in such folk beliefs and religions.

Stop thinking all religions are small Pantheons like Greek or Egyptian

>>47636296

>This is actually near identical to the original draft. I ultimately ended up scrapping it because it felt to limiting to player build paths. It also didn't gel well with how the cyoa was worked at the time.

I think the way you pick classes now is fine but how is getting to choose 10 unique classes more limiting to player build paths than having to double and triple dip to reach advance/mastery?

>>47637768
Druidism has its roots in Celtic religions, which believed in a pantheon more alike to the Germanics than they did shamanistic spiritualism like in Shinto. So no. You are wrong.

On top of that, there's even less justification for having to suck up to a weak lesser god than a greater one.

>>47637939
Then don't be a druid. Because alot of fantasy and other beliefs see nature as a deity of some kind mother earth, gaia, whatever. Usually sleeping and is interested in balance and nature. If you aren't willing to serve that then don't be a druid, be something that doesen't require a moral code or standard of conduct like warrior, or rogue. But not a paladin, cleric, or druid, or someone who gets power from some other being.

Railing against the perception of alchemy as little more than a supportive art, Elysia Redwood's potions would hardly be recognized as such by any 'traditional' alchemist. Needless to say, this did not go over well with her family, a long-standing line of such alchemists, said to trace back to the 20th great threat. In hopes her adventurous spirit would be curbed, or at least satisfied, they sent her to the Academy.


In addition to the more common curative and supportive potions, Elysia can imbue potent elixirs with various offensive magics, making them equal to, or even surpassing, the spells they mimic.

>The Student
Solomon Pinchote-Grassheart was born the son of an Lunestier trained Knight Officer from Westhold, and the Shamaness of a nomadic tribe, who were broken and forced into a sedentary lifestyle on the fringes between Westhold and a great and secluded mountainous kingdom from during the Great Disaster known as the “Winter of Ravenous Wounds”. The Shamaness left her kinsmen to learn the military and cultural ways of the Westholdmen, and quickly rose in the ranks as a skilled a dependable field medic and Affairs Officer. Eventually this led into a rivalry with the Knight Sir Pinchote, a great commander, engineer, and leader, that eventually blossomed into respect, and later love

Solomon grew up in a household of discipline, manners, piety, and developed a strong respect for nature, education, and an near insatiable desire to see the world. As he got older he started to wander why it is that Druidic/Shamanistic traditions and similar rustic practices didn't garner the same level of scientific research that other fields did, and also wandered if the monsters of the world might have greater purpose and meaning to their existence than people ascribe to them. With these queries bubbling inside him, he decided to take the plunge and apply to St. Flares to gain skills needed to answer these questions and maybe help both the sapient races and the natural world around them.

Solomon is a focused individual who is always first to volunteer and learn new things from any topic, and is guided by an unwavering sense of morality and obligation. While he can be a bit stern and overly focused, he always tries to behave in an honest, just, and helpful way, even if he does often act very old fashioned and dogmatic about his standards. Still, while he might not make friends easily, he is incredibly loyal to the ones he finds, and will do everything he can to see to his friends first before himself.

To the subject of raw mana manipulation, how it exists, how it interacts with the world and where it comes from. Not to mention the intricacies of how I interact with it.

>>47638492
Box Wine explicitly said that Arcane magic is just what powers all the other kinds. That the other classes are just filters put over the useful stuff, they're training wheels or kneepads. I could probably cast fireball/spellball if need be.

The elementalist magi will probably teach him that much. The issue here, though, is that he wouldn't know how to combine fireballs + illusions into 'feelings of heat.' Anything more complex than 'EXPLOSION' would be impossible without knowing how the powers work, fundamentally.

>>47638651
I was dragged into this argument when that other anon pointed out that I took the classes. I was thinking that we were discussing Box Wine's CYOA as it is now.

>>47638719
>Implying just knowing Explosions is a problem

>>47638731
What if there was a way to control light through the use of fire magic? Or to create entire false worlds with illusion magic? Remember: he doesn't know how his powers work, their strengths beyond the superficial level or their full limitations. Of course if you had multiple elements at your fingertips you could generally influence the strength of explosions, but what if you wanted to do anything else with your powers?

>>47638786
Explosions.

Arcane Magic has the most raw destructive power yet as a trade off you lose the ability to do stuff like put elements into your spells.

It's the raw power that fuels everything else. Why would I be able to do one and not the other? They only difference between arcane mages and elementalsists are that one is going in no-holds barred and the other is using a helmet and training wheels.

Alright, fine. So I can't cast 'fireball,' but I could probably cast the same thing but using raw mana anyway, right? Give me a quick run-down: is Arcane purely for brute force attacks or is it actually useful? What can one do with the magic that they can't with other types?

from our central starting location we can immediately head out to the wastes after equipping ourselves. With Gannibals superior leadership, he can out think, maneuver, and plan. we'll always be one step ahead of her.

Jorlan's skill as a fighter and teacher will give Vermach and I an edge from the teachings we shall receive, also he is a very charming and may be able to manipulate her.

Vermach is an all around solid fighter, being undead he may not be directly targeted, or could slip within the ranks unnoticed.

Horuk will do whatever Gannibal tells him. hopefully Arriane doesn't have an cat affinity.

With my Skills as a Tank, Paladin amror with Aurora of Hope, Undead slaying Mace, and Jade knife with the ability to harm anything, i could handle any undead beast thrown at us.

If we attack quickly and ruthlessly while her army is just made up of rotting bones and shambling flesh with minimal to no banshees, ghosts, Shadows, Vampires, Spectres, Wraiths, undead Wyverns or Heavens forbid, a Lich King. It shall be a quick campaign.

>This is actually near identical to the original draft. I ultimately ended up scrapping it because it felt to limiting to player build paths. It also didn't gel well with how the cyoa was worked at the time.

I think the way you pick classes now is fine but how is getting to choose 10 unique classes more limiting to player build paths than having to double and triple dip to reach advance/mastery?

Also, will you be adding weapons, armor and (magical)items to this? How about some post-graduation quests and adventures?

>>47638938
>>47639121
So while yes Arcane Magic is your magic in your purest form it doesn't necessarily teach you how to change your normal magic to fire magic.

There are other uses though outside of raw destructive force. Examples might include things like flight, barriers, mana drain, slight gravity powers, etc.

Also I'm sighing off for tonight its like 1:30 over here time for sleep

2 - Tactics
1 - Unarmed Combat
1 - Ki Attunement
2 - Elemental Magic (If possible, I'll be a fire specialist)
1 - Maneuvers
2 - Duelling
1 - Magic Refinement

I wanted to build a character that would be versatile, but would be specially great at duels, so Duelling was a must. Maneuvers and Tactics would ensure that I could isolate my enemies and strike them down one by one when not outnumbered by a lot.
Unarmed combat seemed a cool way to duel. I'll probably be wearing gloves to enhance my firepower (literally). Ki Attunement was chosen because it seems very good for characters that mix magic and physical skill.
The two levels in Elemental Magic are there to make me have enough raw power to face multiple enemies and monsters, which are not my specialty. The same goes for Magic Refinement and Tactics.

Kengen, Yung Tashi and Eydall were chosen because of their potential in duels. Sparring with them would be an excellent idea, as they're all great in that.
Suzette and Naswa seemed like good mages to have around. Naswa being an unique summonner and Suzette being a good battlemage, similar to my character, they would be great companions to have in a situation where my character can't isolate enemies to force duels or when I'm forced to battle monsters instead of humanoids.
Mecherath seems like the person you don't wanna fuck with, she's also a cutie and quite mysterious, I wanna know more about her.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to try to take other masters of dueling in my first year. I'd rather try it later. Naswa and Suzette seem like great allies during this event.
For the subsequent years, I'll just try my best at the Battle Royal.

>The Harvest Festival
During the first year, I'll probably just enjoy the Fund Raising festival with my bros. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to take Mecherath to a date?
In the third, I might get invited to the pit fights in the Basilisk Den, along with my duelbros because we get quite famous for our skills. The same occurs in the fourth and fifth one. During the fifth year we might take the Den down because fuck slave auctions.

>The Grand Summit
At first, I'd just try to take a girl to see some cool art with me.
Around the time people start noticing my dueling skills, maybe the second year, we get assigned to do security. Me and my bros spare the thieves and tell them that if this happens again we're not going to be so merciful. Success leads us to be hired again for security.

>The Gathering of Life
I'll just enjoy the party for the first two years. After the success doing security in the Grand Summit and good Battle Royal results, I should be invited to be the bodyguard of Cynthia Highking. Something scared them during the first year, when I was not the bodyguard. During my first year as a bodyguard nothing happens. During the following years, though, two assassination attempts will occur.

He's using the secret box made for the new version so he knows it exists, I think he reposts the old, shitty ones on purpose.

Which is a shame, since that version has ninja Aoi and samurai ghost Sayuri, the two best cards.

>>47640239
I agree, the new one is much more fun. There are still some cards I don't like (bisexual teacher and cunt-boy loving trap), but for the most part the new version kept the ones with pathos that was interesting instead of just edgy, and added in a bunch of stuff that's interesting/weird like what you might find in an actual harem anime. It fits the genre better and is just generally more enjoyable to play. Sticking with the old one just because you think you can 'trigger' people or that it's worth sacrificing quality for its sake is a bit childish.

>>47640255
Actually, both would fit in what you'd normally call a "harem anime" (consider School Days is effectively a part of that genre, even if it is to it what Madoka Magica is to magical girls), just very different kinds thereof.

>>47640316
IMHO the darker cards seemed to be inspired by eroge (which School Days originally was, BTW). There's a lot of dark shit going on in that medium and it rarely makes its way to anime, since much of it is frankly pretty subpar. School Days stood out because like Madoka, it was a deconstruction of the genre. It went to show a very cynical vision of what would happen if someone tried acting like a protagonist from one of these games (i.e. taking advantage of multiple girls' insecurities to sleep with all of them and never thinking twice about it) in a less idealized setting.

It's normally not for drama. School Days and the like are part of a fairly specific subgenre. Most dark eroge are dark because the Japanese have some fucking severe repressed sexuality issues. Just hop over to VNDB and count the sheer number of sexual abuse victims, single housewives, kidnapped innocent girls and teen prostitutes who're gonna get violated by some old man (likely a relative of some sort) over a 2 hour game with nothing but shots of them covered in jizz.

Eroge generally get turned into anime under one of two conditions:

1. They're turned into hentai anime. Since those have far smaller distribution they get far less funding and can never be relied on to make even the tiniest fraction of the profit as the regular kind, so costs are cut, the animation is usually terrible, and you'd be lucky to get a whole 2 episodes, if they don't cram the entire content of the game into 1.

2. The overtly sexual elements/scenes are removed. Obviously, this only works with eroge that have some kind of value beyond the sex scenes (Walkure Romanze, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, Chaos;Head, etc.). Contrary to popular belief this isn't the case with Amagami. The VN never had any sex to begin with.

>>47640449
>The overtly sexual elements/scenes are removed. Obviously, this only works with eroge that have some kind of value beyond the sex scenes (Walkure Romanze, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, Chaos;Head, etc.)
Oh, and, you know, Fate/Stay Night. I've managed to forget the most famous example somehow.

>>47640449
>>47640463
Both Walkure Romanze and Koi to Senkyo are examples of stories which weren't even "harem" until the anime. It's one of the problems with shoving the content of a multiple route visual novel into a single series. You either have to select one as canon, or take elements from all the routes and build an original, harem-ized one out of them (KtStC did a little of both since the plot of the anime does include the major storylines of all the heroines, but ends with the protag choosing Chisato, who is the game's canon one). Amagami, which you mention here >>47640449, has a very unusual solution for this. Every 3 episodes of the anime just follow a different route, resetting the continuity each time.

>bardic
I was super interested in the Bardic Arts class at first; but it's really vague about how it works. I was left with the sense that it's just an "arts" class with the addendum that you can use it to cast magic if you also take a magic class (Arcane, Illusion, Summoning, etc).

If it's supposed to have its own family of effects like potion mixing; please provide some examples. If it is as I suspected, a method for delivering other magic; how would a master bard/novice illusionist differ from a novice bard/master illusionist?

Also to what extent is Ki Attunement Magic vis a vis Lunestier's Refinement class.

It has personality.

I don't really like the Buff (power) armours that much. I understand why they're all bulky and durable as shit but you already get plenty of durability and strength from being Buff so it feels like overkill.

I'm anxious to see the rest though.

Wanted some feedback on my companions so far.

Do people like it as is? What changes would people prefer?

>>47641052
Two things I notice.

1. Most companions seem to be very prestigious individuals (a Prince, plenty of nobility, a famous Captain, etc.) and if I remember correctly we are not particularly wellknown. This could potentially lead to anon being the assumed party gopher which sucks donkey balls.

2. Some companions feel a bit unfit for the classic murderhobo party. Captain Cornelia Magna is an example, she was/is a pirate Captain with many ships at her disposal, yet she seems to join the party alone, as a gunwielder. Totally out of her element.

I personally dislike companions like Cornelia who will fall in love with you when you resist their charmes. It means that unless that's your goal, you can't take her as a regular companion for all the unwanted attention. She's a waifu or bust basically.

It's looking good though.

>>47641052
>14th picture
Is that an ork or the hulk?

>>47641138
Personally I like girls like Cornelia though, I think in this case it's just something that's a 'don't pick it etc' situation.

People saying Teamwork should be rolled into tactician are wrong, as it's not the same, but I don't think there can be much difference between first and third level of teamwork, even people not taking this course are very good at coordination with their friends, taking one will give you wordless understanding of each other, fighting in unison, 2nd and 3rd courses can't give much more than that, I don't think Dungeoneering, Teamwork, Maneuvers, Physical training should have more than 1-2 courses as you reach peak much faster

>Lunestier
Martial Combat
Tactics x2

>Friends
Valerie Bluewood, Farhat, Eydal Northbreed, Mecherath and Suzette Highking

>Events
Battle Royal x5 2v2 with Valerie and 5v5 with whole team
Escort, it would be sad to let her fade out
Fund Raising x4 I love the smell of capitalism in the morning, smells like victory
Security, apply my magic, tactics, traps and coordination with friends in more than tournament way

Traps, none said you can't make magic traps right on the battlefield. Fighting with magic, logic, sabre and backed by friends

I did the same thing till i saw other builds going x3 in stuff, then re-read it and was disappointed that I'd have to lose skills to be more effective in one. Build now feels far less rounded.

What might have mitigated it a bit is if the 1 elective skill was an automatic mastery, showing that you're just a natural at it.

>>47641138
>1. Most companions seem to be very prestigious individuals (a Prince, plenty of nobility, a famous Captain, etc.) and if I remember correctly we are not particularly wellknown. This could potentially lead to anon being the assumed party gopher which sucks donkey balls.
I'm kind of not sure what a party gopher but I see what you mean.

In the context of the CYOA, you are most certainly not an average person, and you're not murderhoboing for the most part. I'll add in that Cornelia got her ships confiscated as reparations for her thievery.

>>47641142
>Is that an ork or the hulk?
Yes

The other three all have pretty deal-breaking drawbacks IMO.
>Character
Fit seems to be a decent middle ground.
Female, because in a fantasy world, nobody expects the girl. I can play up a cute, defenseless image to catch any potential threats off guard.
>Perks
No Obstacle - it's a useful anti-dying skill.
Charismatic - see "Body" section.
Tactician - just according to keikaku.
Lucky - never underestimate the power of luck.
Power Armor - I wanna feel like a walking demigod like in Fallout. While power armor isn't that OP, I hope it at least contributes to the feelings a bit.
>Armor
Stalingrad Titan - UPHOLD MARXISM-LENINISM

Time to wander the earth spreading Communism.

(I made all my decisions in order without reading ahead first, so sorry if this build seems a bit disjointed.)

M'name's Heis, always ben good with magic, makin Merchents hide their wares i'case Maly n' I were about. I distract them with fancy lights, he swings in for th' goods. I guess some fancy Prof saw me trickin people in th' streets and nvited me to Lunestier. Said I was "uniquely gifted," told 'im I would only go with Mal.

Heis starts out as more of a street rat, growing up with Malyvin. He discovers his use of illusion magic early on and expiraments with random townspeople to get money. Eventually catching the eye of a Lunestier Professor.

Heis' first year at Lunestier starts off rather solitary with only Mal, but he eventually falls in with Duxix, Tennie, and Trap. Mecherath eventually becomes a friend during the second half of the year.

The second year is more interesting with Lunestier hosting the Grand tournament Heis, Duxix, and Tennie join in as a trio, soundly defeat Eydal's team.

Year three Tennie finally gets Heis to rear a wyvern, He and Duxix compete in the Battle Royal in Odesium. The team also helps raise money for Malyvin's family.

Year four the Prof shoves Heis into a research proposal mostly on Illusions that stick to a person's mana than their mind, Also to clear his mind after that stress goes on a blind date with Cassiopeia.

Year five Heis enters the Battle Royal one last time, this time "alone" even though he has a newly minted Gargoyle summon, and a fully grown Wyvern by his side. He also finally tracks down the Basilisk Den with Malyven and practically take all the money. Finally Princess Cynthia requests you as a bodyguard for the Gathering of Life.

Like when Chopper got a 50B bounty because everyone assumed he was just their cute pet instead of an actual member of the Strawhats.

In the same manner we could easily be seen as the squire or attendant of one of our really famous companions, maybe.

Sorry for going all weeb on you.

>>47640997
Good, a worthless girl like you probably hasn't got anything decent to post anyway.

>>47636748
Exclusive is kind of a strange term for this cyoa. It doesn't state that the school only courses are the Exclusive courses and it probably should. There is also no difference between the levels you can buy of an exclusive course or not. Nor does it say you can/can't spend some of your 9 points on the class only courses.

A better way, imo, would have been to have 1 class you designate as exclusive which gives you mastery of it, regardless of the other classes you take.

Outside of that the class only classes should be labeled at the top of the cyoa page for them as "Exclusive" if that's how it is.

>>47641258
Nay, I like One Piece. It is a good manga.

>>47641271
The cyoa clearly states that except for being exclusive they function exactly like regular classes, hence the 1-2-3 system applies.

I think free mastery would just mess with builds anyway. Not everyone wants to fit in a Master rank exclusive class in their character builds.

>>47637021
I agree with this. "nope you gotta waste points on underwater basket weaving before you can take water control".

Sure, I'll participate.
Helvix is a goblin living in human lands after his family was decimated by a rival tribe. Like any goblin he finds it very hard to be taken seriously by bigger races, after reaching physical maturity at the age of 9 like all goblins he has stopped growing and will forever look to humans like a young child. He compensates for this by acting overly mature and promiscuous.
After failing entry in the more physically challenging courses the diminutive creature has taken up a more supportive role in heroing. He can heal, manipulate your enemies and summon darker powers in case things go south.
