CYOA General

CYOA General - Finally Someone Made A New Thread Edition

Would anybody be interested in a airship themed CYOA?

>>48253360
Probably

>>48253360
All my yes

>>48253360
Sure, why not.

Dick CYOA
>Your dick becomes half as wide. The amount taken of your width is added to your length.
>Your dick becomes half as long and twice as wide.
>Mystery Box

>>48253360
If its suitably customizable rather than presets sure.

>>48253409
box
i swer if the box doesn't make me a grill

>>48253360
Like, "build your ship, pick your crew, decide how to spend your time"? Because that sounds awesome.

>>48253460
theres a normal ship CYOA somewhat like that, it was semi-decent, I could dig it as a airship theme. if handled right.

Better have zepplins as a ship option.

>>48253409

You get your foreskin back. If you punch a doctor in the nose it will undo every circumcision they've done, and will prevent them from doing more.

>>48253522

>>48253522

But what if you were never circumcised?

I was a little surprised about this CYOA's reception. A lot of people liked the thing I threw together in a few minutes.

Here's an update while I work on Half-Dragon.

>>48253522
>You get your foreskin back.
I'm not a jew sorry.

post RWBY cyoa so we can be the little girls
and talk about what not lewd things we would do with eachother at our respective schools

>>48253540
If I let insects in could they be unaffected by the weather?

I think it would be pretty to have swarms of fireflies while it's snowing.

>>48253539

You can still give others their foreskins back. You could be a superhero.

>>48253568

Thanks for the comfies, Ferrean! And thanks for adding booze!

>>48253563
Of course! Somehow I also forgot to add the option of putting them in jars.

>>48253606
That's no coincidence actually. I get nervous posting when there are too many anons, especially other namefags.

Posting a build for my childhood's sake.

Nora. I'm a sub, and her kink is the most dominant one, so I'm guessing she'd be the most willing to be dominant overall. Being blindfolded and fed delicious foods sounds very exciting, and I bet she'll bake aphrodisiacs into the things she feeds me to make it even better.

Spend some time accruing wealth as a combat android, commission a work of art made of metal and jewels worth 1 million dollars, make it as small as I can. Fix it within my body's internal workings, likely as a heart.

Now I've got proper immortality, and I'm a badass robodragon.

>>48254067
It looks like a liquid rainbow, is completely tasteless, and is made of divine light and the concept of admin access to the universe.

Dust Mod: AMR: Railgun effect with bonus electricity for looks. Machinegun: Lots of little fireballs, Overheats fast as hell though.

I like to imagine the rifle is 2-3x bigger than her. A lot of running away and hiding and then a slug the size of a baseball bat tears a hole in the enemy from nowhere.

Trying again because I was the last post last thread.
Could probably do some tactical leadership in missions, I don't know enough about RWBY really to guess at what to do. Probably appear out of nowhere and startle people a lot.

Hey acheld. Is Temporally Displaced meant to be so hard to achieve? There should be a note saying you may very well not live to the present day, which is a prerequisite for all but one. That and for a lot of them, your work could be completely undone in the last century or even years. Except for an Empire Eternal, but that still requires you living to the present day.

Almost every quest is completed only by the present day, but human lifespan probably caps out at 120. You could very well drop dead before 2016.

Sorcerer Supreme is the only one that seems vaguely viable, and assuming you don't manage to kickstart human civilization and advancement early? Your best shot would be in the last centuries of the 2nd millennium. .

You know, some kind of GPS & compass feature would be very useful for navigation.

I have a laser rifle that can transform between a precision sniper rifle and a shotgun, as well as a retractable Bo staff. No doubt they're a good combo.

My gear is well-rounded and focused on utility to supplement my combat style, instead of amplifying fighting prowess.

I'm not sure what else to say, i don't really know the source material.

Overlord

Undercity
Desert Domain
Advisor: Priestess

Perks: Earth Elementalism+, The Mind, Form Changing, Study, Gold(free), Diplomat, Telepathy+
Immortality:One With Nature
Followers: 4 Earth Elementals, Pet Dragon, Apprentice, Guard Squad, Guard Captain, Knight, Cook, Cleric, Spymaster
Complications:Thieves' Guild, Orc Bounty Hunter, Monsters, The Underdark, Chilled Existence, Thorn of Cold
Pet Dragon: Dragonborn(Brown), Hatchling, Elementalism, Intelligence, Human Form, Scales

I'm a living incarnation of Earth, capable of appearing anywhere within my hold or my domain, made of stone or sand. I am the backbone of my hold's defense, since I command significant power and reach, but I'm assisted by my elementals and dragonborn. We also have some followers in the city itself to help keep things safe and deal with various troublesome sorts.

The Orc Bounty Hunter is basically a joke, since my body is A) encased in indestructible magical ice and B) not even where I live anymore. I honestly only stopped picking "assassin" complications because that seemed a bit unfair.

Anyways, I rely on the Priestess and her assistant to help create a prospering, happy trade city of boisterous miners, while my Rock Team kills baddies and has adventures.

I'm just your ordinary student.
Really, I swear! Sure, I might be used to be a guy, but that all changed since I was forced to be removed from reality and join this crazy life,
Everything's so strange now.
I have a gun. Who the hell has a gun?

None of this is what I'm used to. Hell, I'm a girl now!
How messed up is that?
And I know I have to share my room with three other people, and maybe they're boys and that's super weird.
I really need to find a team before the initiation ceremony. I am not letting my team for the next several years be up to chance. I need to know I can count on them.

What's great about our various immortalities is that they complement each other. I torture victims, which feeds me. Tor eats their bodies, feeding himself. And Endhinat eats their souls.
We're using the whole buffalo.

You need a team of 4 in RWBY, but no one says you HAVE to team up with people from the thread. It just makes sense, at least if you all pick the "New Arrival" option.

>>48253746
>loading

>>48254830
The immortality mechanic sort of takes me out of it.
It's good balance but the spells are framed as learned skills. Meaning immortality would give you more spells not less.
Also, if the reason you lose a spell is because you spend too much time in your life on the immortality that would mean your spending most of your life learning the spells and not able to use them until much later in your lifetime.
It would be better if you had an intrinsic but finite amount of spellslots granted to you by your god or something imo.

Responding to the Blood Mage CYOA
>>48245453 P1
>>48245512 P2
>>48245587 P3

Path: Seeker
---Extra spell school and ability to learn spells outside this point buy.
Location: Quarantine (Straya under a bubble)
---Only one actual enemy and otherwise normal society.
Covenant: Ark
---Escaping the heat death of the universe is literally the most important goal of all time..

Discipline: Esoteric
---Ability to make sacrifices and store the power in advance for double cost. Blends in non-blood magic.

Trait: Eldritch Lvl 3 (cost 5)
---Super intelligence, brain-to-tech integration. Side effects include aberration organs and a tentacle where there shouldn't be one.

Aspects:
---Invocation: Demon calling.
---Negation: Abjuration and antimagic.
---Perception: Precognition a la Nick Cage in Next (2007).

BY THESE POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAIN PREP TIME.

Seriously though, just focus on summoning Demons, using the summoner's ritual and negation spells to bribe and coerce demons into helping me. One of the lesser ones has all of the mind-fucking spells at his disposal, and the Archivist's price of secrets can be fed by secrets gained through perception magic.

Eventually, get some kind of immortality going and work on creating an extra-dimensional escape hatch for humanity. Don't even bother killing the wizard keeping the quarantine up unless it's absolutely necessary. One of the perception spells can even mimic any spell a la wish, so immortality isn't even out of reach.

Oh crap I forgot this.
It's absolute gold, thank you for reminding it. I'm laughing with each post.

>>48255188
Think of it as what you had learnt/acquired before the murderhobos showed up to fuck up your day and make you flee your delicious library.

Additionally, the immortality options are not mandatory, and in fact there's options to refuse it for benefit.

But please go on, a fresh opinion is always valuable and I'd like to see if there's anything you can add to the long laundry list of critique i already have saved.

>>48255233
>I think it helped that RWBY has a fanbase and a setting that promotes team oriented structure.
agreed. I was thinking how to even structure it, but my idea fails from either
a) Not having a reason to work together without being FORCED to work together
b) So fucking many words to paint the setting, but things will still end up vague because images > words when it comes to clarity.
We know what Grimm are, and the description in the cyoa does them injustice.

>>48255499
>pre-establish setting
Additionally, I don't even think the CYOA mentions "you Work in teams of four, you sleep together and train together".
That's only something you know from the show - we all assume that's how it Works, because that's how the source material Works.

Using a pre-established setting Means you can answer these questions, or make guesstimates rather than needing the "Voice of God" to tell you. I think it makes roleplaying easier, definitely, but everyone WHO isn't familiar with the setting/source material are screwed.
For instance, I don't like Worm and I've only made a build for the first one. I have no clue what's going on, WHO the people referenced are, what their power level is, how dangerous the World is and what to do, and you're assumed to know this.

>>48255499
You'd probably need to hint at a lot throughout the CYOA and that would clutter it up unless you really had a way with words. It would be confusing as fuck either way.

Try making one for an established setting maybe? Get a feel for what things are alluded to and what things need pointing out. Or I guess just start spitballing in-thread and have /tg/ help.

>>48253956
I chose the pen because essays/reports/etc. are a pain in the ass.

>>48255605
>You'd probably need to hint at a lot throughout the CYOA and that would clutter it up
>It would be confusing as fuck either way.
Exactly. And still it wouldn't be too accurate, I think.
Look at Battlemage and the Detritus. The fuck is a Detritus? How big are they, are they different in size and strength? Do they have multiple forms? What are they weak to?
All the questions about Detritus could be answered by basing the cyoa off an established setting.

The only setting I can think of right off the bat that encourages teamwork would be Percy Jackson. You live in the house with the kids WHO have the same godly parent as you, and you go on a quest with two others, WHO would usually have different parents.
That wouldn't really leave a lot of choice, unfortunately
>Pick a God parent
So either we use the pre-Heroes of Olympus setting where you can only be a kid of an Olympic God (minus the Big Three, which will make anon mad he can't be the Mary Sue), otherwise that's gonna be way too much Work.
>Pick items
>Pick companions / people ITT to go on a quest with

>>48253540
Thank you for making me feel happier.
I want to ask, though, is time stopped while I'm in the Cuddle Dimension? I really don't want to have to worry about leaving or wasting my age away in the dimension, otherwise I'd never use it (or use it seldomly).

And personally, I think that the room should come with either the couch or the bed for free. I mean, you *need* one of them, don't you? How else would you cuddle? Lie on the floor? Basically just a necessary point expenditure. Relatedly, why does "bedding" come with such a small amount of bedding? "Bedding" should just give you as many pillows and blankets as you want, because if it's raining and cold like I like it (also pls gib temperature option, I like it like 58F), I want like a sheet or two, a blanket, and a comforter with like six pillows surrounding me and supporting my head.

And just lastly, please give girl option. I always wanted to mutually cuddle a girl as a girl. That would be so cuddly and nice.

Please consider.

>>48255764
>And just lastly, please give girl option. I always wanted to mutually cuddle a girl as a girl. That would be so cuddly and nice.
Not author, but I'd think the whole "anyone you pick will keep their powers if they have any, but said powers can only be used for comfy" would imply the possibility of what you described.

>>48255795
Well, yeah, but I don't know any characters I like that could do that for me temporarily.
Know of any?

And, really, I just want to cuddle with my waifu for like days on end. I'd have to take another person in to be the girl, which would maybe be bothersome.

>>48255825
Why doesn't your ideal waifu already have that power if it's something you want? It's not like you're limited to only waifuing characters as they exist in fiction (or otherwise).

>>48255852
Oh, nevermind. Well it just says "summon your waifu." I didn't think I could be adding anything to her, but I guess I can.

Well that's nice. I love my waifu just the power-less way she is, though. Maybe it would feel like cheating? Well, whatever. I guess that solves it, then.

>>48255483
So you can't study any more because you don't have a library any more?
I'll buy that.
It does mean you can never get a new library.

>>48255942
Huh? You can go back to learning new spells when you're done with current events, can't ya?

that would make not choosing immortality useless

>>48255974
To me it seems you're choosing your new life as a necromancer, abilities and all.
It doesn't look like you have a single quest to complete before you go back to expanding your power. All enemies and drawbacks are optional.
If I could rebuild my library later I would postpone acquiring immortality until then and choose 14 spells at the start.

>>48255942
It's not that you can't study any more, just that you're starting out. You can of course find spells and books later on, but what you choose is what you have when SHTF.
Like the minions are what you can/have made by the time you have to leave, and your companion is who you have met or meet while fleeing.

I can understand everything, but why you need so much companions? Also, tell me more about this

>>48256614

It's a Blake's 7 knock off where you're a band of escaped prisoners in a stolen spaceship.

Needs a lot of companions so there a few different pilots, engineers, medics etc to choose from, so you're bot forced to always pick the one pilot if you dont take piloting as a skill for yourself.

>>48256614
>>48256626

And also, because writing the little backstories for who these people are, and what they're in jail for, is super fun.

I usually find companions one of the least interesting part of a CYOA to write but they're what I've had most fun with this time.

we have 50 abilities each with 3 ranks, this means 150 points total. Which means 3 possible things. 1 we will have lots and lots of points that can be distributed between using them to improve yourself or companions 2. Set number of points on yourself and set number of companions 3 or number of points you can use on yourself and how many companions are tied to origin. Are there any of those, drawback things ?

>>48256691

Not quite.

Skills are broken into "master", "experienced" and "competant" levels.

You choose X skills to master, which is world class at them, Y skills to be experienced at, which is well above average, and Z skills to be competant at, which is a basic level where you're perfectly passable at a skill, but totally unremarkable.

Actual numbers to be determined, but sat 3 masters, 6 experienced and 9 competant. Something like that.

The tiers are not really distinct skills, just being better at the same one.

>>48256730
interesting and how many allies you can rally to your cause?

>>48256796

I figure since it's a Blake's 7 knockoff, a crew of 7 (so 6 allies) is the way to go.

For altering history is there a way to make sure magic can be inherited from me, but without empowering anyone else?

In the most current version of the DLC I'm actively working on in another tab, there are options to make magic inheritable, but not specifically just you.

You can do one of two things; similar to what >>48257095 suggests, you can use the DLC to make magic run in bloodlines (which will be in the next posted DLC), and then kill all other bloodlines that have that magic.

Or, alternatively, you can use Descendants - Great and select a type of magic that a limited number of your descendants will inherit.

Magical chemotherapy.

>>48257180
Oh, I actually meant in general. I was considering a cancer survivor who you had cured of cancer through magic for my cyoa. Then I realized that you probably can't cure cancer with healing magic. Then I had a small autistic identity crisis. Now I'm breaking my mind over how you could cure cancer with magic. Currently I'm considering some sort of necromantic magic that would work like chemotherapy in destroying the cells, followed by regular healing magic to revitalize the body.

It's consuming my mind. I don't even remember what that cyoa was going to be about.

>>48254045
There is a much more complete version of this. I don't have it though.

>>48257238
Well, cancer is an affliction. It kills people. Removing it from them heals them. So if you heal them, they won't have cancer anymore.

>>48257347
I'd suggest you not pretend to be a (lesser) god from an established pantheon if you want to become a God-Emperor. People would start wondering where the fuck Jupiter is, or just automatically somewhat disregard you because there are greater gods to worship than Vulcan. I'm just a measly anon though.

I'm stupid. How would Impervious do against a high velocity weapon?

>>48257290
Actually, to elaborate on this; if you have to explain how healing magic heals people, then it arguably stops being "magic that heals people" and becomes, at best, "magic that is being used to heal people." It reminds me a discussion about Panacea - before I got bored of talking about Worm - where it was suggested that she can't really be considered a healer. The argument went that her power was editing biological structures, so even if people decided that they were "healthy," it's because she changed the structure of their bodies into something that wasn't leaking all over the place. It actually came up, I think, when we were talking about powers, and somebody mentioned taking one of the Final Fantasy games and slapping people with White Magic. How does White Magic heal you? It makes you better, and it gets it right every time, because it's function isn't to change your structure until you stop leaking, but to make you healthy.

For points... there's always drawbacks!

Yes, Blessed One can work on yourself. It's just that if you're bleeding out it will probably be difficult to muster up the concentration to use the magic.

The build looks good; the CYOA is such that it's honestly difficult to make a bad build. I think Imperious 4 is overkill, myself, and temperature 3, unless surviving nuclear bombs dropped directly on you is *really* important to you. Frankly, you should be able to have better ways of not having nuclear bombs dropped on you in the first place. BUT, it's not wrong by any means.

I DO like the theme of you being a smith/fire god, teaching mankind to smith metals, and giving them enchanted blades of fire. Nice imagery.

>>48257595

>>48257862
It's a matter of pride. You're not a real man unless you can tank a few nukes with your Impervious pecs.

>>48257134
In the original CYOA the enchantment magic allows one to, for example, make a sword sharper. Then with Major it's possible to imbue items with the properties of spells you know. Would it be possible, with Major enchantment, to imbue a ring--for example--with Wellspring Of Hope, if you have it?

>>48257922
oh interesting idea

>>48257922
Also, what about buildings? If I imbued a building with Beastmaster Major, would all the animals within it become sapient?

>>48257862
>Level 3 of Impervious notes in the description: "High Velocity Bullets only sting".

I'm thinking more about continuous high-velocity weapons though, something like a vibration blade that's not all too uncommon in fiction. Or an industrial high pressure water gun for a prolonged period of time. You know, how would Impervious react to such an assault?

I'm absolutely loving the AlteringHistory CYOA.

My pre-Myth&Mystery build involved travelling back to the Jurassic era. I spent all my points on as many companions as possible and Diet lvl 1 for everyone. Sure it would be lonely and very difficult to advance teh without as abundnat sources of fossil fuels, but giving humanity several million more years before the heat death of the universe seemed worthwhile. Not to mention all the geological, botanical, zoological, and astronomic data that could be gained.

I think the latest changes to the inheritance system are a step in the right direction, although I think the point costs and numbers of descendants affected still need fine tuning after Myth and Mysteries is completed.

It would be nice is several lower level, mostly harmless, effects like beauty could be made available to all descendents.

I'm still wavering on whether the 5 purchase limit makes sense for great heroes/descendents.

I'm not sure increasing the number of individuals affected is worth repurchasing a trait several times over, especially at the expense of either improving yourself or increasing the variety of traits that can be given out.

I also fail to see how affecting 10 million people breaks the setting more than affecting 1 million people, so I'm not sure why the limit is set where it is.

Maybe make it so that only a certain % of the population can be affected in total? Or remove the purchase limit entirely?

>>48257922
That *is* an interesting idea. However, I'm concerned that that would make enchanting way too powerful compared to the other magics. So, the answer is "no" for now, but I'll think about making that possible.

>>48257934
Sure; it would be a time consuming process, but as I note in the CYOA, you have plenty of time. Now, it wouldn't last long once they left the building, but you could make a sapient zoo. Maybe a bit cruel, but tastes vary.

>>48257939
So, vibration blades create kinetic energy by vibrating at great speeds. Let's say you have a vibration blade that vibrates at 100 times a second, yeah? Impervious 3 reduces things to 4% speed, so now it's only vibrating at 4 times a second (for purposes of its effects on you). Combined with the fact that any force with which it is pressing against is reduced extraordinarily, it would take quite a vibration blade for you to even notice it; perhaps stinging for really nasty ones, as suggested by >>48257967. Impervious 2 would probably still leave you vulnerable to them, at least as I'm seen vibration blades characterized in fiction. It really depends on "how fast is this blade going".

I can't find good numbers on the speed or pressure of a water cannon, but similar logic applies. You certainly have my leave to consider Impervious 3 as making you fully invulnerable to them, and Impervious 2 is probably enough in most cases.

>>48257958
That's a fantastic idea for a build; repopulating the earth early is really unique and interesting. As >>48258048, I'm not sure the heat death difference is meaningful, but the rest is interesting. And yes, >>48258142, dinosaurs.

I will be adding in options to start humanity in an earlier geological era in the DLC, as well.

>>48257270
Don't be such a tease anon.

>>48258219

>>48257958
I'm probably with you on the things like Beauty being available to all descendants; I was conservative that time around, because it's easier to give people more options later than to take options away.

The five purchase limit is because I don't want all of humanity to be comprised of people with Diet 2. Or Invulnerability. Things like that. 1 million people who don't need to eat is useful for those people, but doesn't allow humanity to expand without limit. If you could buy even Diet 1 ten times then humanity can overrun the earth easily. Of course, that *does* force you to spend 30 points, so maybe it's not as huge a problem. I'll think about increasing the limit. The percentage of the population that can be affected doesn't really fit with the idea of you giving out parts of your personal power.

>>48257977
Oh?

>>48258040
Yup; Major Divination is, in my opinion, the most powerful option for the price in the CYOA. But I don't want to make any one magic more expensive than any others, and I can't nerf it without making it kind of sad, so it is what it is. It's not *complete* invulnerability by itself, because it just makes you aware of threats, not necessarily able to react to all of them if there are a large number at once. But it would certainly be enough to not be in the vicinity of a nuclear bomb going off. Barring a Fallout scenario where everything is in the vicinity of a nuclear bomb.

>>48257922

>>48258219
How would you feel, anons, about picking, for example, 40 points worth of other powers when you chose enchanting? Any you could enchant things with those powers? So, for example, you could pick Wellspring of Harmony as 5 points worth of those 40, and then enchant things with that effect? Or pick super strength 2, and make bracers, etc? (I would probably limit it to level 2 of perks).

This would allow it to be flexible, without letting you enchant *any* power you had, which I feel would be way OP. Would that be annoying, or cool?

>choosing enchantrooneys
what are you minecraft scum?

>>48258245
> Major Divination is, in my opinion, the most powerful option for the price in the CYOA

Divination is certainly great but it's entirely focused on predicting threats and adapting to them which stings plenty of people, because they want to be bulldozing gods. They should never be the one to adapt so to speak.

That's my theory as to why it's an unpopular choice despite it's blatant power.

>>48258286
Way too limiting. In RPGs enchanting always lets you imbue things with whatever you know, not x number of things you know.

>>48258286
Sure why not.

>>48258286
Annoying. It'd be a cyoa within a cyoa. "use these 40 points to pick enchantments for your enchanting skill".

>>48258338
Hmm... I could give you the option of choosing one of:
* Enchant with any magic you know
* Choose 40 points of magic and/or non-magical abilities to be able to enchant.

That would be, by definition, less limiting than it is now, because now it's just the first one.

Thoughts? Unlimited access to enchant any powers that you have is not going to be an option.

Yeah, true. I could close loopholes by limiting which powers, but that just ends up being a mess. Maybe I'll just add a list of relatively harmless powers that you can also enchant. "Beauty", "Wellspring of Harmony", etc.

I'll think about it; shouldn't be hasty.

Honestly, if you're only going to let us enchant a bunch of minor powers then the skill isn't worth the points.

>>48258418
I just want to use enchanting to create a bunch of "solar panels" enchanted with Master of Motion to connect them to the outside, attach them to the ceiling of the Caverns, and use that to let in sunlight. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.

My followers are largely guards, heroes of destiny, gladiators and the like. They show no mercy on the battlefield but are surprisingly receptive to diplomacy all the same. I don't make plays for power against other gods unless they take a hand in war against me.

>>48258489
But then he's playing it wrong.

>>48258418
Yeah, that's totally irreconcilable. It's just that when I hear Enchanting, I jump to a court wizard, spirit/god, or somebody with Craft Wondrous Item, so something like a pair of shoes that let you step half-out of reality or a bow that shoots lightning instead of arrows, or condense a wind storm into a sheath, or yes, just generically a sword that's better than a sword is supposed to be. I admit I wanted to slap on everything in the DLC for a much higher level game, if that helps you not look down on me. If it doesn't, that's okay too.

>>48258457
I hardly think that being able to enchant any magical power that you have into an item is "a bunch of minor powers", but mileage may vary. You're under no obligation to make use of it, but it's one way, for example, to give out magical powers to those you wish to without having to spend a lot of points on imbuing. Granted, it's less flexible than what they know themselves. If you're not interested in giving power to others, then no, Enchanting isn't a very useful skill. It's not designed to make you, personally, more powerful, it's designed to make followers/armies/friends more powerful.

>>48258461
Seems legit to me! I would suggest a long magical research period, but that's really just for RP purposes. Fun thought.

The CYOA rules are what they are; I will clarify how I interpret the rules and abilities when anyone asks, but at the end of the day, it would be hypocritical of me to go all 'YOU MUST ABIDE BY MY INTERPRETATION'. There are plenty of CYOAs I've done for my own pleasure in which I bend the rules.

Now, that being said, if you post a build in which I disagree with your use of a power, then I will say so, mainly because I don't want other posters thinking that is the "official" interpretation. But it's not something that would make me upset.

>>48258519
>I hardly think that being able to enchant any magical power that you have into an item is "a bunch of minor powers",
>Any
You said you were limiting it to incredibly minor things like Beauty.

>>48258564
Ah, sorry, that's just a misunderstanding. I meant *in addition to* being able to enchant with your magical powers. Here's my guarantee: I won't be changing enchanting to be *less* flexible than it currently is.

>>48258561
Yeah, I guess that's true. Although, the examples I gave, there are three matches and two half-fits anyway. Two storm powers, a default function, and the boots could easily describe something to cover large distances quickly, as although I had a clear image, that's not the most concrete description, and I just realized you could probably enchant something with your enhanced durability, after that comment about Beauty, which fits the original comment.

If you were wondering at all, the boots were some kind of ethereal/ghostly deal, or something like Reimu, Obito, or the Flash. Likewise, the initial nuke comment was mostly about the Starmantle Cloak from third edition, though I really can think of some random mythological items that could work instead.

Oh, clarification on the enhanced durability. In the CYOA as it currently is, it specifically only lets you enchant things with your magical powers, not with your physical or mental enhancements.

I am considering adding the capability to enchant things with your physical or mental enhancements, but I'm not sure whether I will or not yet.

Rather than try to shoehorn mental/physical enchantments into the enchanting field, you could instead consider creating new schools of magic that could accomplish similar feats.

By increasing the costs involved in performing the magic.

Theres a couple of different ways it can be done.
1) Require multiple branches of magic for different kinds of effects. Unfortunately this method becomes very complicated, very quickly.
2) The alterations can only reach the magnitude of level one effects or lower.
3) Make the spells much harder to perform. Maybe it requires blood sacrifice, several different mages working together, difficult rituals, or very rare ingredients.
4)Dresden files magic. The more people who try to use a ritual, the weaker that ritual becomes for all of them.

Its basically a question of high fantasy versus low fantasy. There are a lot of ways that the powers can be balanced, but it is difficult to do so while keeping the cyoa light.

>>48259134
It's undeniably the best school of necromancing. The whole scroll is centered around making you an immortal god-pharaoh. The curses are incredible, the methods of immortality are extremely hard to kill, and even the minions are ridiculously strong. There's a literal instant death spell for fuck sake. This is even more obvious when looking at the companions section which contains nothing but extremely powerful ancient beings with big ambitions.

The school is basically so over-the-top powerful that most of us ignore it and make a more interesting build that does not immediately give you the means to conquer everything.

>>48258850
As it is, it feels like that is way too much overlap with the "imbue heroes" thing under companionship. It's also not very interesting. What I mean by that, is that there are many different ways that you can "interpret" imubing items with Stormsage, for example. Whereas there's really only one way to imbue physical/mental attributes.

>>48258874

As mentioned above, as of right now, enchanting is limited to those powers under the Supernatural Gifts (aka "magic") section. It may be expanded to other things, but don't hang your hat on it. Shapeshifting is explicitly mentioned as one of the things you can enchant items with, so I'm not sure I understand your question about that.

Weather Report was a Stand from Part 6 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. It had weather powers, like X-men's Storm, so it could do things like electrocute people who touched its master, rain poisonous frogs from the sky, or create rainbows that, through the power of subliminal messaging, turned people into recursive snails - snails that turned people who touched them into snails as well. I think that if you physically passed through a rainbow instead of looking at one, you turned into a pile of snails, because several parts of your body began processing the messages at once and turned into snails independently.

It's a party in 20,000BCE. Start migrating south to avoid the glaciers. There probably aren't any humans in the eastern part of the US yet, so nature is ripe with innocent animals not accustomed to humans.I guess my waifus could start with basic survival knowledge so we don't accidentally die before the adventure begins. We travel in fog and with imps so we don't get eaten by large predators or something.

Once we settle a little south, we practice our magic. We summon earth elementals to find and dig up iron. We make some iron golems for protection (which look snazzy with my artistic prodigy perk), and upon asking the spirits to prevent inbred diseases, we start making babies. Lots and lots of babies.

Eventually we'll finish our main project - enchanting 6 iron golems with Major Binding so the iron golems can reproduce. If we finish in time we'll send them across the Beringia land bridge. If not, we'll have to wait a thousand years later until there are boats large enough to carry them.

Once the golems are in the Old World, they seek out materials to reproduce themselves. They'd probably start off with simple materials and work their way up. They are forbidden from attacking humans unless out of self-defense. They all bear my symbol, and once enough golems are built that wiping them and the original 6 out are unlikely, additional golems are sent to wander the world and help humanity where they can. Difficult due to the language barrier (which I assume they inherit from me), but not impossible.

People will come to recognize my symbol. When the population strikes 100,000,000, it is likely most people would recognize me and my symbol.

The continental US and surrounding areas will be quickly colonized by my descendants. Golems are extremely useful in pre-industrial societies due to the automation of labor. Their strength and endurance is also useful for moving heavy materials and construction. Humans primarily serve as skilled workers. With proper cultural norms limiting population growth, my empire should remain well-off and able to support a large number of thinkers (of which there are many with limited genius).

Sooner than later the industrial revolution will spark in my empire, and the modern world blossoms again in this alternative timeline. With sorcerer supreme completed I can grant most everyone indefinite lifespans. When humanity catapults itself to the stars, the intergalactic empire will be supported with (rare) enchanted FTL communication/portal devices to make it viable.

>>48258219
>That *is* an interesting idea. However, I'm concerned that that would make enchanting way too powerful compared to the other magics. So, the answer is "no" for now, but I'll think about making that possible.

Really it depends.

For Minor/Major Enchantment: How many hours does it take to make a "plain artificer" (blade is sharper because magic) item, a Minor Magic item and Major Magic item?

Remember that people may end up taking Great Inheritance/Imbue Hero or even pay for DLC options as an alternative to making Minor/Major Magic items.

It's probably best to leave enchantments as they are. It has all the same problems as inheritance does with balancing.

>>48259297
Yes, provided you have both Major Shapeshifting and Major Enchanting

>>48259317
That one I'm a bit more iffy on. I didn't really intend shapeshifting to let you become things without a brain, but the wording doesn't disallow it, I admit. My interpretation would be "no", but, again, not going to be upset if you go in that direction. It's not as if being able to shapeshift into a tree is game-breaking. It's *definitely* limited to organic creatures, though; that I will add a line clarifying.

My understanding of the power, as I wrote it, is that it only lets you create "real" weather that can do real weather things. It just lets you create that weather where you want to, and have it exist in places where it really should not.

>>48259352
Nice. You're not going to find anyone your mental equal, but given Wellspring of Harmony that shouldn't cause too much angst.

Given "Region Locked" you're going to want to *start* further south than the Eastern United States.

To accomplish the population requirements for Sorcerer Supreme, you may have to technologically uplift. The main problem I see for you is that given your region you don't have a huge population base to work with. It's going to be iffy to get to the world population you need. Or, you can just wait until it normally would, but that's going to be about 1,000BC. So you'll be old. It's not exactly a "problem", but you may not like the idea.

I love the idea of combining Binding and Enchanting; just imaging the bad-ass killer golems that you can create, infused with all aspects of your magic.

All in all, it looks like a fun build, even if some would call it sub-optimal for leaving you "vulnerable". Your physical resistances are enough that you're very unlikely to die by accident, though you can still be killed. Spirit Singer will help provide protection against that possibility.

Yeah, I'm not going to get into the details of specifying "this is a plain item, it takes this long, this is a minor item, it takes this long". That's just not worth the hassle or compulsion.

>>48259467
I'm leaning in that direction at the moment, yes.

>>48259416
>>48258219
Same person as the one I'm quoting. I interpreted Enchantment to:
1. Let me make different magic items ala D&D. At minimum, things like a "+1-5" sword depending on whether it's major or minor enchantment. Maybe some minor cantrip-tier stuff that WOULDN'T make a post-scarcity society, so no Create Water From Nothing Traps.
2, Imbue a minor magic on it that you know.
3. Imbue a major magic on it that you know.

For #2 and #3 I assumed they were not versatile as the Major Magic itself. So a Major Stormsage wand would only let me shoot a lightning bolt or hurricane.

A Master of Motion belt could either let me teleport (minor), create a portal (major) or effect how easily I can escape/avoid being grappled.

I figured that the more powerful an item was, the

>>48259519
Meant to say "I hadn't interpreted the golems as being able to speak, but I don't object to it"

>>48259520
I agree with your interpretations of number 2 and 3. Again, I don't intend enchantment to create wondrous items in general, so I disagree with your interpretation of 1 being able to do "cantrip" stuff.

But, as said, I'm not going to 'persecute you' for it. Fun is fun.

It is theorized that climate change will increase the intensity of storms; would it possible to create, say, a super hurricane that dwarfed Katrina & Hugo? It does count as "real" weather after all. It's just not necessarily on the scale that has ever occured before.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2002JD002726/full

On the sidebar hit conclusions.

>>48259690
Yeah, but create mummy let's you make every single type of mummy you want. They are also stated to be "loyal servants that carry out every command of the one who created them". It's an intensive process but you basically get an extremely high-tier servant out of every corpse. Unlike the other tomes which have a handful of different spells you need to buy to make servants. Orange buys "create mummy" and optionally "create eremite" and uses all his other slots to make himself a powerful magical juggernaut.

Also, if Purple raises 7000 skeletons at once they each 6990% weaker than an individually raised skeleton, let alone a mummy.

>>48259479
>>48259352 here, I honestly forgot about low population in most parts of the world when I picked 20,000BCE. So really sending those reproducing golems to the old world is unnecessary because most people would live in the new world.

One wouldn't have to necessarily technologically uplift to reach the population requirement, although great technological progress is near inevitable with 6 immortal super geniuses and their descendants being above the modern 90th percentile. Since imbuing Major Binding automatically gives mastery of Minor Binding, so long as there is a large source of mud and clay nearby, everyone imbued can construct golems. Golems can, under human supervision, perform most food-related tasks. Automating food-related tasks means more specialization outside of food production.

Really my bigger concern was the population growing too quickly and falling into a Malthusian trap and or me losing political control. My descendants may not be able to make iron golems, but enough clay golems and human bodies would overrun our relatively small amount of iron golems. That's why it's important to pound into the heads of my descendants not to have too many babies. Commit infanticide if they have to; ethically it is arguably better than letting a Malthusian trap occur.

>>48259810
That is why I dip into orange for the create mummy spell; it takes less spell slots that way to make minions.

>>48259810
Yes, it's a quality vs quantity thing. That doesn't make Orange overpowered. It means it operates differently from some schools. The way to fight Orange is overwhelming force from swarms of cheap units, support with specialized tactics against individual mummies.

>>48259842
Do Eclipses count as weather patterns?

>>48259838
That's up for debate. I personally don't think Undying Servitude works on most of the living dead, those who have already been imbued with necromantic magic, since those bodies already house their own spirit. Even if that's possibly there's still the question of whether the Spirit can overrule the body's servitude.

I think that's something for Scientist to explain.

>>48259856
I was more thinking of really dense darkened clouds to cover large cities for the Vampire Lord quest.

>>48259805
I would visualize those kinds of storms as possible, but more difficult to create. Like, a proper magical ritual, or something thematically cool like that.

>>48259811
All makes sense. In the next version, one of the small tweaks is that it's going to be possible to master an imbued magic in ten years, IF you have a master teaching you. So this means that you can have a smaller population of those you most trust making more iron golems, if you wish.

In terms of an eclipse, no. You could maintain dark storm-clouds indefinitely, though.

That's actually quite cool; great crafted artifacts that sit at the center of your vampire cities, maintaining constant cloud-cover.

Make sure you leave enough sun for your food-source to grow their food, though.

It's unfortunate that Orange also has such a strong focus on basebuilding: every Curse can be used a trap or defense mechanism. Then there's also Scourge of Scarabs which fucks over Green and Red.

Am I the only one who wants to Liber Necromos to become a fully expanded extra tome?

well orange lends itself to making you go the religious "build a militant church" style thing so it makes sense as someone trying to pop child worship to have a strong base/pyramid thingj

That's what I like about green: technically, none of their minions are 'undead', so even if this hack works Mummies, Eremites, it still wouldn't touch the Fleshwarped.

to add onto that i actually really like the mummy/fake egyptian aspect and dont care for the eremite aspect because while liking hellraiser i just dont think it meshes massively well but who knows what scientost is going to add/remove
