Anyone have that one unfinished CYOA with the doll soldiers in it? I can't quite remember what it was called.

I've been on a flight from costa rica for most of the day so i couldn't write this, but I'm finally home and I can tell you all what I would do with Omnipotence.


First is go about my regular life for the most part. Maybe enact some changes like retroactively destroying cancer and modifying the quran, but other than that I don't give a shit and people can solve it for themselves.

More importantly I'd use my powers to fuck with people and create a personal magical realm of fetishes.

I'd go around tapping men on the shoulders and ordering them to turn into big titty sluts for the pleasure of watching the transformation. I'd go to a college lecture and order the female students to forget everything they learned after fifth grade and lose all their ambition to do anything but spread their legs get married and pump out a thousand kids. I'd go to the prostitute on the street corner and fill her mind with the knowledge of a medical program. I'd find nigger gangs and remind them kindly that they're actually japanese highschool girls on their way to school. I'd go to an old folks home and shift reality so that it becomes a brothel and everyone inside is a twenty something slut witth a love of dicks. I'd go to a school, shapeshift into a student and then go class by class enacting all sorts of fucked up fetishes on the students. Quiet demure girls suddenly sprouting a nasty cock between their legs and highschool studs reduced to sissy boys with a love of cock in their ass. Upstanding teachers suddenly realizing that they love nothing more than fucking their students and students on the verge of graduating suddenly remembering they're actually ten years old. Turn the smart girl into a deliquent who never reads and the popular girl into a nerd with giant tits. Then there's the racial transformations, I'd turn proper white girls into foul mouthed nigresses and vice versa.

I'd fuck up reality so bad there won't be a reset button large enough to undo my magical realm.

Sunken Desert 45+20 5 threat
Sunken Desert? You mean epic beaches? Even if there's monsters in the water.
Ancient Mountains 20+30 4 Threat
But for hunting, I prefer the tall mountains.

>Persona: 15

All useful for a rookie. Read up on moves, buy healthpotions I can summon through Pocketing, market to sell scavenged shit.
>Services: 15
Training, Healing, Scavenging
Since I'm lacking a bit on the physical side, (I really wanted blunt arms too) whenever I'm not making traps or out hunting, I'll be training. Get better at using my staff, focusing on an entirely defensive style.

Lots of bedroom and empty space. Going to permanently lock all the entrances to the grounds and electrify the walls so that you can only get there if you can fly
Always looking to team up with someone else with wings for synergy. You can chill at my place, and maybe I'll even tell you where my traps are.

>>50552422
If you can pull it off, take it to /qst/. That's pretty much the only thing keeping /cyoag/ on /tg/
>>
>>50552458
Much of my free time will go towards making these little buggers.Through Pocketing I will be able to retrieve them when I'm out hunting and place them in strategic locations, preferrably where I can keep watch of them from afar, or atleast the surface above it. This would be everywhere anyone is likely to pass. If tunneling youre unlikely to spot the trap before its triggered, even with detect magic

>Combine: Binding+Lightning+Water
Pretty straightforward trap. You step on it, gets you wet and then zaps you and those near you. Usually deployed on the surface in daisychains of two and five

>Combine: Binding+Barrier+Water/Fire
Essentially they will act as mines as deep underground as I can get them. When triggered by a wurm-type Hunter, the barriers will activate, essentially designed to trap the tunneler inside a small cube and unleash a flood of water. Hopefully this will drown the tunneler before he manages to get the barriers down, but even if he gets out that water is going to keep coming and flood his tunnel network. And if he surfaces, I'll be a hundred meters up in the sky ready to unleash lightning on his wet ass. The fire version does basically the same thing, but targets his breathing in another way, spreading fire and smoke everywhere in a tunnel will pretty quickly kill through oxygen deprivation and CO2 inhalation. If the flames dont get to him first

>Combine: Binding+All-Seeing Eye+Lightning
I know you're thinking, All-Seeing Eye? Really? But hear me out. They give 360 degrees vision. Plus zoom. If that aint magical, then so arent the wings. This trap is a "non-lethal" one, but I'm going to place them EVERYWHERE, preferrably in the treetops so they cant be easily spotted. The binding gets 360 degrees security camera type vision. When it spots someone, it sends a lightning bolt through the sky, in a 90 degree angle towards the spotted person, so that I can instantly see where in relation to my trap the intruder on my hounting grounds is

>Enchant Staff: Lightning
I might be physically weak, but I'm agile and fast with my 7 AGI and if my staff so much as touches you, you're getting zapped. And may the Hunter God have mercy on your soul if you're wearing metal armour.
>Enchant Mage Armour: Barrier
I can do this, right? The mage armour is a physical armour that I will enchant with Barrier, making my arcane shield take the brunt of any blows I recieve or deflecting them before I get hit incase of an arrow or bullet. Together with 7 DEF, I'm pretty tanky.

>Fire+Wings:
The ability to enflame my wings will further aid me if someone comes too close to comfort. A spinning motion would launch a cloak of flames at the attacker, lighting his/her clothes on fire and create a deterrent (fire is scary yo) to get even closer while protecting me at the same time.
>Lightning+Barrier:
Barrier is an energy based shield, and with Lightning I hope to be able to supercharge it by throwing lightning at it, make it stronger and give off zaps when touched.

>Battle Strategy for Culling/Monsters:
Perched high up on a mountain, I will blend into the surroundings and watch tirelessly the land beneath me, scanning the valleys for activation of my traps and prey. Preferrably atleast it would walk into one of my traps, but even if it didnt I would have a massive advantage over the prey, coming in from the sky, hopefully undetected with the help of One with Nature, and launching an aerial bombardment of fireballs and lightning strikes. Some of the melee users can jump high, but not that high. And if they use blink to get close I plan on just smacking them with my staff along with a wing+flame combo, depriving them of initiative and then let them fall a hundred meters or two as I continue my aerial strikes. Blink+Nullify wouldnt be a disaster either. Sure my wings would get turned off, but at that altitude I have plenty of droptime to distance myself using my staff, since Nullification is within a few meters only.

Regarding the omnipotence discussion last thread

What I would do with omnipotence would be to live through scenarios such as CYOA's the lives of various characters in various settings, both OC and otherwise. Limiting my own power and memory where appropriate.
>>
>>50552539
The problem with your build is all your traps are magical in nature, anyone with detect magic can avoid them with relative ease.

Other than that no monster within means you can't use any monster souls, which also reduces your tactical utility and survivability.

Your main advantage is flight and high int for good magical damage, watch for nullification users that also have flight.
>>
>>50552557
I wouldn't trust myself with omnipotence. I'd have to compartmentalize my powers just so I don't accidentally fuck everything up

>>50550745
Glad I could assist.
Here's my build, for fun and comparison.

>T-turbo lewd Girl!!
Libido rubs off and it feeling as good each time while feeling "out of this world", too good to pass up.

>Succubus
Eating and sleeping is not what I want to do with my time.
Wings are great too and the magical girl is pretty vague.

>Naughty
My libido demands this anyway. Happiness is a close second.

>Well-developed
Needs no explanation.
>Twins
Sounds excellent.
>Status Quo
For my twin and my friends and whoever else. A quiet 'thank you' for staying with me.
>Idol
Singing is great. To be confident and sound good, that'd make my day, often.
>Pleasant girl
Controlled fertility and avoiding the pain I've seen my sisters in.

>Scrunchie of great hair
I don't know how to properly care for a woman's hair. The time investment isn't appealing either.

>Feminization
I think this would help with adapting to the new body and the looks of horny boys.
>Pure love
Make sure my first is my twin~
>"Is it getting hot...
Quickies are fine. When I maybe succeed on my quest to get my dick back, or a new one, whatever, this will be a boon.
>Good girl
A little vague but I'm fine with lewd favors for people. Plus the image is hot. Fits the immortality option too.

>Supernatural
Gotta meet all the cute monstergirls and witches and such. Plus, maybe I can find the methods needed to get that missing part back.

>trainer
Getting fit does sound good. Getting fit with a girl like that who'll dominate me? Yes, please. Having someone who can do heavy lifting or protect sis and I is also great.

>M-me?!
Best choice.

>Part-time job
Neko version. Money and attention, something to do to make me focus through the lust, good stuff. Hard though.
>Apprentice
Yes. Yes.
>Bully
I'll steal everything from his home and he'll be lucky I don't murder him.

Prett sure there are beaches along with a very murky sand filled ocean which you have to fight in...

That could be fun! I'm going to changing my build some when the update comes out though.

>>50552472

Do they allow freeform rp there?
>>
>>50552622
I figured underground you'd still have to dig up to the trap unearthing it before you could see it with Magic Detect, since it by no means automagically gives you stonesense and rock penetration sight. And its true those with Magic Detect can spot them on the ground.. but those that cant? If the Omni-Eye trap goes off I'll know position and relative distance regardless if they could detect the trap or not. They'd just see a lightning going up into the air nowhere near them. My traps and what they do would ofcourse ingame RP be a closely guarded secret so most wouldnt know they're a lightning beacon.

Not really sure how to squeeze monster within in there, but I really did want it. And Nullification does cancel their own wings aswell, so they'd be in as much trouble as I am 100m above the ground. Though I have barriers to land on.
>>
>>50552700
>4 and 5 threat licenses.
With Wings and a focus on long range lightning spells I hope to be able to stay out of range and pick my battles carefully. And its not Private either, so friends can come join me for the loot.

>>50552796
I suspect we will all be changing our builds a little when it comes out, but my intent for the build will remain the same.

If you can enchant a trap with omni-eyes than a nullification hunter can enchant his arrows with nullification and try to shoot you down. Hell someone who took Ancient Will, Skull weaponry, nullification and enchantment can technically command a animated sniper rifle to remotely fire off homing magic nullifying rounds from a safe distance.

Now that's an crazy idea for a build.

2bh I really dislike the whole "skull weaponry makes your weapon a gun" thing. So silly. It should just have the description in the CYOA. "Unleashing blasts of energy with its strikes".

And dont forget that for bombAnon to make bombs he needs tons and tons of piss, or urea as he calls it. If he wants to be the hunter that hangs inside the bathroom at the bar asking if people can pee in his bucket thats ok with me. We'd be able to locate him for miles just from the smell, even underground.
>>
>>50553170

That's pretty much what it says. It's like a magical gun or something. A rapid firing brow/crossbow. Call it whatever you want, it might as well be a gun.
>>
>>50553170
Tell me about it, When bliss was asking for a possible replacement for self repair, I proposed a skill that allows a weaponry focused hunter to craft ammunition for his or her ancient weapon, Bliss's response was that's redundant because apparently ammo crafting is already inherent to hunters with high skill and wields a ancient weapon that uses ammo.

There is a lot of caveats and technicalities that aren't explicitly or implicitly states in the cyoa.

Pic Related is servant, Pastebin link is some story fluff.

I took the skills necessary to make my character the perfect torturer. I plan to use a combination of time and gravity warp to trap people in a sort of inescapable plane, and then use psionic and the dark element to grate my fingernails through their mind like a fine-toothed comb, using poisons to lower their mental defenses and render them paralyzed. I'm a primarily non-combat character, so I'm planning to use my torture skills to get contracts from other hunters, because I feel like torturing is a relatively untapped market in the bounty hall and the underground hangout. My servant is of the strange type and retains it's knowledge from when it wasn't trapped in my grasp, so I'm going to ask her what tactics her type used to mess with victim's minds.

I took the three monsters I did because the basilisk's paralysis, the spider's grotesque appearance, and the strange's illusions seem to be EXTREMELY useful for interrogations and torture sessions. If I can learn what they eat, what they like, and how they fight, I can probably capture and domesticate the spider's and basilisks and ally some of the strange.

As for surviving the culling, in the year prior I plan to make connections with some of the more immoral hunter's and more importantly, gangs. Gangs could probably use a good torturer/interrogater, and I fit that role, so they would probably offer me their protection.

>>50553050
No, I plan to stay away from combat altogether and catch people unawares when I need to fulfill a contract on them.

But something changed me. The running, when I could not hiding. The hiding, when I could not run. The fighting, when I could not do either. It changed me. I realized something, in the midst of the blood and the screaming - I did not want to die.

Pretty generic trapsmith build; Combine and Bindings lets me make Psionic, Gravity (and once the update hits, Time), and Barrier traps - all ways to nonlethally subdue monsters so that I can take the kills for myself or sell them to other people.
Enchanting's mostly to make permanent versions of the "magical" traps, letting me chain my way into collars of domestication - which I'd obviously wouldn't keep lying around.

A few times a season, I'd just set a bunch of traps around my hunting grounds, and let the Scavengers bring back anything that gets caught.

I like the fluff, I plan on writing up something similar for my character in a bit. Just a thought though.. if you plan on combine time and gravity and such.. it could be good if you had combine? Would really open up your skillset.

My original build I developed last year, at the peak of MH's popularity required the collection of metric fucktons of shit, allowing all that shit to ferment for 365 days at least, before leaching the nitrate off with water, treating the dissolved nitrate with lye and potash and doing so much processing and purifying with such a little payoff it wasn't realistic means of producing enough cordite for my needs.

But piss is a viable source for explosives. An average healthy person pisses about 2 liters of urine every day, with a urea content of 4.9 gram per liter. Since urea content is proportional to how much protein you eat, I suspect most hunters in the MH cyoa's setting who's sole livelihood relies on hunting, slaying and eating giant monsters, would have extremely high protein diets, so you're most likely looking at about 10~ grams of urea from the average hunter as a low conservative estimate.

In order to make let say 500 pipe bombs with 250 grams of explosives (200 grams of urea nitrate and 50 grams of aluminum shavings) I would need to harvest about 50 liters per day so 2 liters of piss from 25 people. Which is easily achievable.

The wonderful thing about piss is, it has far less waste chemicals/contaminants than shit, its 95 percent water so you can boil the water off, urea nitrate is relatively insoluble in water/acids and precipitates out once it reacts with nitric acid, you don't need extremely concentrated nitric acid, concentrations of 33% nitric acid yielded of 95-97% (https://www.google.com/patents/US3330864) and instead of complicated and laborious process of extracting potassium nitrate from shit and than converting that to ammonia nitrate, making urea nitrate is a one step process, and when exposed to sunlight, urea naturally breaks down to ammonia.

The downside is that urea nitrate is more sensitive to shock and vibration force and has a varied velocity of detonation between 11,155 ft/s (3,400 m/s) and 15,420 ft/s (4,700 m/s). But eh.

Anon I have bachelor degree in biological and pharmaceutical chemistry.

In my second year of orgo chem I made 2, 4 - dinitrotoluene for an experiment, I could have made TNT if the lab had oleum, but Lab coordinator and TA made sure there was none available for that specific reason and I didn't feel like pushing my luck and distilling sulfuric acid into oleum for shits and giggles.

Making explosives with basic chemical knowledge is piss easy. Pun intended.

No, I know what you're talking about, and you understood him wrong, he meant that arcane couldn't be combined with it because it wasn't technically elemental. even if it was, if time and gravity warp are both arcane how would combine help me?

Alright, the specific discussion was about Enchantment, but he said

>Arcane element
>also Fire, Water... elements
Sux to succ.
>>
>>50554026
By asking politely and paying them with tribute.
>>
>>50554047
Okay, that doesn't change the fact that your suggestion to buy combine doesn't apply to me.
>>
>>50554026
>>50554048
Or by setting up a pipe system in all the toilets in town that sends all liquid waste to his workshop.
>>
>>50554048
And everyone will just no problem give you all their piss despite knowing the only guy who wants piss is someone who will try to blow you up with your own piss.

The whole process behind making the amount of bombs you need to be able to do any good at all is so extensive that you're not going to be able to make many in any case and even then they might not be stronk enough to get through Barriers and the alike.
>>
>>50554102
Doesn't it take a lot of time too?
>>
>>50554102
It does, atleast in the scale he's imagining. My guess is by the time he's ready to deploy enough bombs for effective use, enough seasons will have passed for him to lose all the tribute shit and gifts too
>>
>>50554082
I don't think anyone is going to let you tamper with their toilets when every 440 days people try to rape each others' eye sockets. Who knows what traps they're setting for midnight on Culling Day?
>>
>>50554004
SDA owns it and you can bug him on the #cyoa irc
>>
>>50554064
Looking back at it, there isn't really any way to see that I took up the conversation.

I didn't suggest Combine (even though I'm pretty sure it lets you fuse "sub-elements" better than without), I just nitpicked about Arcane being an element.
>>
>>50554102
>And everyone will just no problem give you all their piss despite knowing the only guy who wants piss is someone who will try to blow you up with your own piss.

It depends on how technologically and scientifically savvy the residence of MH cyoa's setting are. You understand I need the piss to make explosives because I explained my entire plan to you, but to a random shop and innkeeper? I'm literally throwing free money to them for getting rid of their waste, they'll probably think I've lost my mind. Good. I want them to think that.

There's also the possibility of recruiting exempt hunters to help me collect piss or piss in a barrel at a popular meeting place/watering hole, it requires no effort from their part at all.

As for effectiveness we can't gauge that at all, I might as well stick to what I know than what I don't know.
>>
>>50554015

I guess I just don't understand who these clients would be or what kinds of shenanigans you're helping them with. I thought factions were banned. We're just monster hunters in the Wild Hunt!
>>
>>50552366
What would Nullify do against Intangible?

Intangible transforms the body just like Incarnation, which Bliss has already stated not to be affected by Nullification.
>>
>>50554215
You needn't be educated, just savvy. If a man is asking me for what I'd throw out, especially if he's offering good money, I'd wonder why he wants it.
>>
>>50554215
I wish I could make a 300x simpler explosives build by making thermite and the alike without being a total copycat.
>>
>>50554244
My understanding, and I may well be wrong here, is that the monster transformation doesn't really count as magic and has altered your character's nature. So there's really nothing to negate--nullify isn't going to forcibly shapeshift you. But Intangible, which is short duration and involves Light/Shadow magic, isn't exactly altering your nature and undoing it is much simpler. So Nullify would cancel.
>>
>>50554134
I take whatever piss I have gathered in that day, pour 50 liters into a stew pot and heat it up until it boils, than add in a stoichiometrically equivalent amount of nitric acid, wait for a few minutes for the reaction to complete, wash with more water, dry and store safely away. It will only take about an 1 hour or so, the limiting factor is how fast I can boil off the water in urine.
>>
>>50554332
you think the drying process of 50 liters of piss takes less than an hour? okay buddy
>>
>>50554304
It's a Medieval setting, right? He'd get all the piss he wants. We, comfortable and well-educated anons at our computer, would raise eyebrows. Medieval shopkeepers trying to get by are offered money by an authority figure (he is a Hunter) to do something they'd almost pay him to do for them.

There's no way in hell they wouldn't take that deal every single time.
>>
>>50554304
The market is a place where I should be able to buy and sell any kind of goods and services, I can't see why I can't get piss from the market.
>>
>>50554215
>It depends on how technologically and scientifically savvy the residence of MH cyoa's setting are.
Or superstitious. If someone's desperate to buy liters of my piss in a setting where magic exists, my first thought is that giving him my piss will likely lead to him blowing my dick off, or worse.
>>
>>50554315
But if one has literally shifted into a body of light/dark, you have no arms legs head etc so ones hitbox is completely different. It sounds a whole lot like altering ones nature.

Nullify shouldnt be a "1 skill that defeats 3 trees alone".

Oh it definitely shouldn't. That's why so many of us have argued about Nullification and its need for clarification, though that's a pointless debate for another day. But Light/Dark is explicitly one of the types of magic in the setting to the point that you can enchant things with them. Monster transformation certainly seems supernatural, but doesn't really fall into a magical discipline.

Though I do remember Bliss saying Nullification can cancel out some of the powers that monsters use, depending. Things like illusions/Tiger fire are Nullifiable, whereas Hydra's regen, Wurm's burrowing, and the like definitely aren't. Dragon fire-breathing (if they do that) is more debatable, since it might be biological than magical? Who knows there.
>>
>>50554512
Bliss's logic back there was external vs internal magic. The warrior can't just use his willpower to stop magic thats inside your body- then he could just will your heart to stop. So its only magic outside of you that it stops, like tiger's fire aura.

>>50554507

>>
>>50554585
Thats why he's NOT able to will your body into changing shapes, because the magic is in your flesh. Nullify counters tiger fire aura, so you're not on fire- but you're still a tiger.
>>
>>50554581
It's not DLC. It's a short thing SDA did as an experiment. He was going to expand it in his Dark Souls CYOA or something like that, but, you know, he's been on hiatus since then and nothing has come of it besides some Battlemage previews. So sorry Anon, that's a standalone.
>>
>>50554581
If I recall correctly, that's a part of an incomplete CYOA
>>
>>50554633
Aye, but in relation to Intangible. I've heard conflicting statements and I'm leaning towards Intangible not being affected by Nullification for that very reason but also to just not make Nullification even stronger because of fluff.
>>
>>50554460

I guess it's just in the Clubhouse that Factions are outlawed...We can be friends and hunt together sometimes. I'll have to take off if there's any torturing going on though.

>>50554304
If spend tribute on market services and market's description states you can buy and sell anything, than Bomb Anon can buy piss from the market, simply because he paid for that service and denying his purchasing decisions goes against the rules of the cyoa.

And because urine demand is very very low, he can probably get away with buying enough piss to make enough bombs for the culling and to kill monsters and get it pretty cheaply.

Hell the local merchants will probably pay Bomb Anon to get rid of their piss for them, because it keeps the streets sanitary and not smelling of piss.

I could anon, but that also takes time to setup and time and energy to take care of the animals on the farm.

My best strategy is to simply create a waste removal service, going around town asking people to separate out their piss and shit for money, burying the shit in the desert with worm soul's quick burrowing aspect and making bombs from the piss.

With the money I get from running this service I can hire servants, buy mercury and aluminum from the market/underground black market, buy rectified spirits and hard liqueurs from the bar and commission the blacksmith to produce iron pipes, brass caps, cylindrical drums and copper/iron bowls for my explosive casings.

>>50555621
>which are likely to appear in the Sunken Desert?
Right. In the Desert. Since we cant change territories later, I'm starting off on the cliffsides of the Mountain instead, where I'll be likely to see everything from Wolves to Wurms, but no real flying threats. I can pick my battles very easily and get more experienced in the Mountains at both flying and combat, so that when I get ready I might bring a friend or two with me to go hunt some dragons.

[/spoiler]Might add Indomitable, been thinking of another change in the build aswell[/spoiler]

You're going to die the second you try to actually kill any monster that can shoot back or match you in speed.

Don't feed the defeatist. You could have all the skills and infinite tribute, and it still wouldn't give you an appreciable chance of survival against, say, the slimes.

Hence the bodyguard, whether teamed up, hired, or charmed.

I see. It is one of my favorites. Will you ever make one like what you had in mind?
>>
>>50556482
Probably not, I don't see a point of creating another CYOA that will more or less follow the same formula. There's plenty of CYOAs to choose from in this regard.
>>
>>50556482
His version basically amounted to building a way and place to commit suicide.
>>
>>50556431
Will post your build please?

>>50556508

Yeah, there's lots of build your realm types. I just like that one better than most.
>>
>>50556482
Basically we had faggots like this >>50556509 who wanted to be the most powerful being in the universe.

The point of Level Design was for you to become mary-sue levels of bullshit, and you'd pose as the 'final boss'. You play the antagonist, so there naturally would be a group of protagonists who would eventually confront you.

It was meant to be comedic in nature, but then you had people like this guy whining about actually not being the most powerful being in the universe when the CYOA was meant to be a jab at people like him.

It was a joke, but these guys got so anally ravaged that they ended up shitting up the threads for quite awhile. I wouldn't be surprised if they're anti-culling faggots, either.

I'm not anti-culling, in fact I think the whiners are fucking faggots. But I also think that the people who make "fuck you" builds and post them constantly to pull the "nuh uh I'm more powerful" playground stuff are huge faggots too

Like, I want to discuss sunken ruins and dragons, not how awesome you are to make this super special anime build that can kill any Hunter and here's how!
>>
>>50556721
You're not being murdered, you're making a super powered end level final boss and pitting heroes against him.

You're telling a story.
>>
>>50556747
Nah, you're the kid who pretended to be Goku at recess and insisted that you were the most powerfulest
>>
Wish there flaws/drawbacks/punishments in MH that you could take for one or two more skill points
>>
>>50556747
Right.
I cleverly FAKE my death and proceed to live out a happy life as an endboss with no enemies. bwahahaha!
Or you could go the monmusu quest route: as the final boss, go find the mc before she sets out on his quest and seduce her so she goes over to the dark side and doesnt try to kill you.

The boss was framed as being YOU.

That would actually be pretty good.

Have flaws like being hounded by monsters, or not being able to sell stuff on the market, or inclement weather whenever you go out hunting that only bothers you.

>>50556851
and weaknesses/phobias to certain elements and such.
>>
>>50556851
I've always liked believable drawbacks. Like Dream Prince has "Easily Distracted" which relates to how someone in a wish fulfillment dream world would have tons of trouble staying on task.

I think a good MH example would be something like "Flashy". You sacrifice efficiency and practicality for style. Lose Agility but gain Influence Points

ah ok. I'm all for that event, it's flavorful to the setting and does make for interesting discussion when centered around who you'd team up with rather than who you'd win against, but I do admit I choose the exempt option for each version of my build so I don't have to deal with the latter. Always a bro, never a foe, y'know?
>>
>>50556968
We're gonna look real stupid when Highlander escapes Kit's sex dungeon.
>>
>>50556974
Both yes and no I guess, I dont think its a good thing if the drawbacks are so damaging that noone will take them at all, but at the same time they shouldnt be too easy either. Ideal I'd think was six different drawbacks, can only pick two for a maximum of two extra points so the handwaving doesnt get too bad.

It was mostly the magic being much more powerful than everything else (with some options sucking), and the factions/missions where a tad unbalanced as well. The hero of legend then was truly one of the best options I have ever seen in a cyoa. Godmode but you have to face all final threats at once.

A little bit of progress on the TG Order Form. I'm getting really busy now so progress may slow just a bit (still, I'm almost done, anyway)

I need one more meta-level thing to offer people. Can anyone think of any ideas? I'm kinda scratching my head for stuff.

It kind of wish you'd gone for more unique drawbacks rather than stacking them. E.g., you made three different versions of Roll the Dice rather than one that you can take multiple times, taking up the space for two other drawbacks.

There's also a couple I doubt anyone's ever going to take. Black Secret, for example - nobody wants to imagine themselves suddenly gaining a thing for scat or romans.
>>
>>50559406
The two clarifications people really need are whether or not Trader can trade only for possible things (e.g., I promise to do X) or impossible things (e.g., I'll sell you my skill at banjo playing for a year of your life), and whether or not Radar can find abstract things (my true love), things which require precognition (the next winning lottery ticket), or which they don't know exists (a crashed alien spaceship).

Agreed, but for a different reason. All the other options use advanced technology to inflict their changes on humanity - which means Brave New World can be used to cause those same changes in a less all-or-nothing manner. E.g., lessened V-Pattern inhibitors that make violence extremely difficult, coupled with mild calming psychotropics and an expansion of our "monkeyspheres" to include the whole of humanity as humans, for example.

It's more like current lifespan. So if someone lives for 50 years, and you trade something for 10 of theirs, it doesn't matter if their lifespan changes a minute after you make a deal. Also, that's FOR omnipotence.

>You can trade skill, yes, not lifespan. It is impossible to quantify. Your lifespan can change at a whim, it's impossible to know exactly how long you'll live.

What about youth? That's easily quantifiable.
Say I'm thirty. Can I buy a year of youth from another thirty year old, thus aging him by one year and rendering myself unaging for the same length of time?

Alternately, if actual lifespan is still an issue, can I buy a year of youth from said person, rendering me unaging for one year but having him age at twice the rate for that amount of time? (In the latter scenario, I would lose my agelessness should the person die before the year is done.)

What about things like physical traits? Can I trade my hazel eyes for another's blue eyes?

>>50561030
So I can trade things like physical strength and intelligence? Or pay someone else to feel 90% of my pain for me, or to take any injuries that would be inflicted on me?

I can offer to pay someone enough to care for their children for their entire natural lives if they'll die in my stead the next time I would die?

Sanctuary Master

Spirit Bomb - All-round upgrade.
Divinity - the collapse of civilisation makes a lot of products near-impossible to reproduce. It might take time and risk, but this will greatly mitigate that.
Lifegiver - Aside from feeding the sanctuary, should allow for improved production of lumber and fabrics.
Sacred Ground and Holy Land - making the sanctuary malleable will maximise potential population and physical defences.
Messiah - risky, but essential to using the other abilities well.
Regeneration - Spirit Bomb should increase the effectiveness of this, though it'll never be as good as Lay/Miracle.
Holy Water - If you can bless enough water, then it can become a part of sanctuary defences, and every inhabitant can carry some.

I suggest making it one third as wide (~1600 pixels) with 4 columns (~400p each) and 2 rows (~325p). While it fits on my screen nicely without any compression and I appreciate the hi-res images, not everyone has that luxury. It just makes sense to make use of vertical scrolling and let people with more modest screen resolutions be able to read the text when 4chan resizes to fit the horizontal (a useful feature). I do not think the images lose much impact at 1/3 resolution.

The literal only thing you have to do is say that 'abstract things' only means promises.

It's not that important, anon. It's a preference, not the end of the world.

As for why it's a preference? A little bit autogynophila like >>50561409 points out, a little bit aesthetics, a little bit eroticization of lesbians. I prefer girl on girl to girl on guy, and would rather be a sexy lesbian than a sexy heterosexual man in my fantasies. But at the same time, full lesbian lacks the unique intimacy of penis-in-vagina sex. So, futa is best of both worlds.

The way I envision it, you can find examples of any monster anywhere. Take dragons, for example. Fire dragon, ice dragons, swamp dragons, storm dragons.

I suspect that the other categories have enough variety to be similarly widespread too.

Alright, alright. I see your point. I can't say I don't think the same about some of that shit you wrote. Still, I'd prefer to just have the dick. I'd rather not have anyone stick anything anywhere near my holes.

So, when do we start arguing about how gay futa is?
>>
>>50561489
To be fair, I play most "be the girl" CYOAs the same way that option "offically" allows. For example, I use the Order Form and Succubus CYOAs to imagine what sort of girl I'd like to have rather than what I'd like to be.

Even if my picks usually just result in making what is essentially my gf with huge tits.

Are there any kinds of monsters which are rare enough to not have a bounty, or which we otherwise aren't warned of? Also, are there Ancient, Sunken, Twilight, etc. of all Terrains, or does choosing that option put you on an Island where that terrain type has replaced the existing one?

Right, so why wouldn't you be able to trade for someone's years, or an infinite amount of other things? You basically said "these are some of the things you can trade for" and it's pretty much up to everyone else to figure out what else they can trade for.

And I see the updated CYOA, so tell me: Are those the only 3 "abstract" things you can trade?

If people were reasonable min-maxing wouldn't be a thing.
>>
>>50561799
Because someone is capable of giving you their honest opinion or their house (or at least refrain from giving you an opinion they know isn't honest, or a house that isn't theirs). They aren't able to give you their "years". Since the Trader's power doesn't give you any special ability to give things you can't normally, just don't assume that it does?
>>
>>50561824
Reason is part of the package of humanity that makes min-maxing possible in the first place.

Because why would you be able to trade those things? The examples were things you could already trade normally.

>>50561832

The guy who made it said you can trade physical strength/intelligence, and stuff like eye color. Now, I suppose you can normally get someone elses' eyes, but I've never heard of the former happening. And if the former can happen, that opens the door to a lot of other things.

>>50561636
>Are there any kinds of monsters which are rare enough to not have a bounty, or which we otherwise aren't warned of?
A few, but you won't just bump into them without warning.
>Also, are there Ancient, Sunken, Twilight, etc. of all Terrains, or does choosing that option put you on an Island where that terrain type has replaced the existing one?
As it stands, the terrain makeups are roughly proportionate to what people picked for them - if literally everyone who picks Volcano in one particular Island takes Twilight to go with it, the entire Volcano will be Twilight.
The Lord of the Hunt also sorts things out so that nobody's ever the only person with their particular terrain combination; everyone has a decent amount of space to hunt in.
>Oh, are there any skills besides One With Nature that'll let you survive the Volcano or Molten terrain?
There's still a lot of solid ground (unless you take Molten Volcano), so you could theoretically hunt there without any protection.
That would be super dumb, though, so any flight takes most of the risk away, a high enough Defense lets you survive an occasional dip, and there are fire resistance spells in the Fire and Water elements.

Here's a good rule of thumb: If one class has immensely powerful or flexible abilities and the others don't, the CYOA isn't well-balanced. Don't think of it as "what do I want," think of it as "what could someone who wanted this do with it?

This version of Trader is far better - all they can do is trade better, and hold people to their promises. Both are extremely useful, but lack the breadth of a Trader who can trade for damn near anything. It's a much more interesting choice than before.

also i literally can't imagine what someone, or even myself, would do with an option in my cyoa. i can't imagine what it does beyond what i wrote. i can't play my own cyoas,

I'll still pick Trader. I understood the old text to mean what is has been clarified to describe more clearly now, and I think the ability to ensure good faith is one of the great concerns of society.

Imagine a city where no one will harm each other, all laws are obeyed, and everyone will contribute whole-heartedly to city defenses. That's just a tiny application of this power. It can make true and fast what in our society basically runs on the honour system of rewards and punishments, ie. nearly everything. And that's without being particularly selfish or greedy for personal power, just trying to further human civilization. A smart trader might dedicate themselves to helping humanity understand God, consolidate humanity into one power to subdue monsters forever, or any number of things.

Trader and Radar together can do anything that civilization can normally do, except with infallible tools for identifying capabilities and collecting fealty. As long as they are working for a functional and inclusive society, all of the classes listed have more reason to help than to hinder; even staying neutral wouldn't be very attractive. That is, unless someone can think of reasons I haven't.

I figure the class with the most to lose from a strong society is arguable the Burglar, but as long as you don't persecute him and generate great wealth within the society, the laws can be created in such a way that his class skills are both useful to society and personally enriching.

When designing options in a cyoa, how long is too long a description? Is it okay for a companion to have a ridiculously long description, but wrong for something ordinary like a weapon? Is it always better to keep descriptions as short as possible or do people enjoy spergy paragraphs detailing what a companion's personality is like and just how sharp a blade is?

Well, I know you can't prepare for everything; anyone who says something is foolproof greatly underestimated the average fool.

>>
>>50562330

Personally, I'm fine with long descriptions, as long as they make sense/are relevant. You don't wanna go trailing off explaining why a companion's favorite color is red unless it's really important or actually has something to do with him, like what it makes him/her as a character, or unless it actually affects the world or whatever you're trying to do or

I'm just trailing off right here. Whatever you put down, make sure it's relevant. To the character.

>>50562330
Make descriptions as long as they need to be to achieve your goals as a designer. This means that the longer you go, the more the description has to accomplish. This doesn't mean putting more and more bulk info into your descriptions and calling it justified, it means looking insightfully at what you are trying to achieve with your design. Design goals, in other words.

It is still best for most people to just put it down on paper first, and edit after. Once you get it all down and look at it and say "what was I trying to communicate about the option here"? Because many people find it counter-intuitive or difficult to set goals first and then write.

Sorry if you were expecting something easy like a character max, but as you can probably see good description length vary a lot. I favour shorter over longer, because usually when someone goes really long with their descriptions it's for their sake and not for the work's or the audiences; and most of us aren't fantastic prodigies of writing.

If it's an ordinary sword, or a sword that happens to be made from a relatively uncommon metal with some minor special properties, you can skimp on the description. But if a simple farmhand used it to slay the thousand-eyed horror that was rampaging across the countryside and threatened the lives of man and beast alike, then you better tell me that tale.

The more important you want something to seem, the more effort you should put into it, whether it's a weapon, a suit of armor, a nation, or a person. There are people who will read paragraphs of text about mundane things and people that won't. Instead of trying to find a middle ground, I'd recommend you prioritize instead, and attempt to balance the "weight" of a choice around how much you believe you can write well for all other choices in its category.

299 Candles is missing text.

My choice is Dark Path. It's basically teleportation and I find the idea of a shadow world cool.

It's not that bad. Just carry around a sheet everywhere you go, and completely cover yourself every hour and a half or so.

Anyway, I think I'll go with Harmless Possession. As long as I don't directly impact my life, I'm good - which means I can do things that indirectly impact me, like take over government officials and have them institute policies I approve of, or take over business leaders and have them focus their efforts the direction I want.

>>50562508

I'd just use harmless possession for crazy amounts of free time. Use it to binge watch tv shoes, play through video games and all that kinda stuff, and then be insanely productive while in my own body.
>>
>>50562680
Harmless Possession only lets you take knowledge back - if you make changes before returning to your body, they'll just get reverted.

>>50562508
Depending on the drawback of 299 Candles at higher powers, I'll take it or Damocles Eye.

Burning the candles in 13 sets of 23 is more than enough to significantly change the world at the cost of just over 16 days of my life. Definitely worth it.
If there's some other catch, then Damocles eye could make me lucky enough to have a bigass bird/weather balloon/windblown tarp pass overhead every hour or so.

The problem with enchantment is that a lot of hunters are going to enchant their weapons and traps with magic, detect magic is going to be a safe, low resource and passive skill in order to avoid getting incapacitated by the all magical traps that are being set all over the place. Or they're hard countered by nullification.

Yes making bombs is going to be pain in the ass, require time and energy to get it started, but there is no magic involved, the only way people can avoid them is through sixth sense, but they literally have to be in close proximity to a bomb trap in order to even sense the danger or waste time and mana to spam premonition and slowly minesweep a area.

The order more direct method is to blasting large areas of land with magic or simply produce shockwaves with whatever weapons you have on hand at that point they're painting a huge target on their heads, the survivalist hunters with extreme situational awareness are going to detect them and run away while the murder rapist gangbangers are immediately going to rush in pursuit.

>>50562753
While correct, you are just confusing them. They are probably looking for the "force" or kinetic energy of the impacting object, which is simply

> E_k = 1/2 m v^2

Once you figure out the kinetic energy of the object, that is the force you have available to "hit with" in the simple "moving object vs stationary object" scenario that many simple seem to imagine intuitively. The force of impact first deforms/destroys the integrity of both objects as much as they can accept and converts partially into lateral and rotational force, then the remaining impact force slows down the body of matter with more inertia and pushes the body of matter with less inertia.

If the hit object is also moving, you have to compute the comparative velocity of the two objects using the angle of incidence and allow for lateral and rotational forces.

Since this is rather out of scope of most game-related calculations, the kinetic energy formula is probably more fit for purpose. I don't think people care how much force is "wasted" in the impact so much as having a maximum theoretical "impact force" to compare against durability or an opposing impact force.
>>
>>50563045

All we need to do now is figure out how the eye works. Where (in the sky) is it? Does it change position if it can't see you to get a better angle? I suppose this wasn't really necessary to put in the description

>>50562980

To be fair, it wasn't the clearest of descriptions. I might have felt differently if you had not stuck around in thread to express your opinions on how certain things worked. I believe that a CYOA should try to stand on its own as much as possible.

>entertainers/performers/magicians
I would try to take into account that they might actually like stealing, and that trying to repurpose their skillset to such things might not be very fulfilling for them. In addition to their day job, they might serve as an incentive for individuals to keep security tight, and as a catchall to keep wealth within the city in the case security does experience an individual failure.

Because the original description for it makes much more sense. Like Shockwaves but for a weapon, infuses it with energy that gets released as extra oomph when a target is struck. Instead of making a whole new class of weapons which is poorly defined especially when dealing with a bow-and-arrow universe.

>listen carefully. I managed to bypass Tev's security systems, but not for long. I strongly disagree with Tev. Your species is inherently evil. You torture, abuse, and kill your own kind, and stand by idly watching them suffer and die every day. You seek out excuses to divide yourselves, and to destroy those who you have placed in the category of other. In the past seven thousand years, you have consumed your natural resources to the point of depletion, damaged your biosphere to the point it will soon be rendered uninhabitable, and exterminated countless species which may have one day given rise to sapience. Your species is fundamentally flawed, and no gift we offer can fix this.

I offer your biosphere a second chance. We will exterminate the human species without pain or fear, repair the damage caused by your species, and set the conditions for a new sapient lifeform to emerge. We will then close the portal and leave your world to develop, without any interference from you or your kind. What comes next may not be better than your species, but it cannot be worse.

I do not trust a member of your species to choose this form of self-sacrifice out of altruism, and so I will appeal instead to your greed. Should you choose this option, I will place your body in suspended animation until such time as a new sapient species has attained a similar quality of life as yours. You will then be biologically modified to match their physiology, and your mind will be altered to match their thought patterns while retaining as much of your personality as possible. You will live on even as your species dies. Think about it - you know this is the only hope your biosphere has.

If you give someone a tummy tuck, assuming that is only exterior, which in reality it isn't, where would all the extra fat go? If you can't even make a fat person slim then it's hardly cosmetic surgery.

That's what I'm here for. What good is a Trader who doesn't know how to make deals happen?

>It's important you don't know what the Whisperer looks like.
Nice try, Whisperer. In any case you will still need to reveal yourself to me to make the Trade at all.

Because some people struggle with the liminal space between anonymity and identity.

>Nice try, Whisperer. In any case you will still need to reveal yourself to me to make the Trade at all.
yeah, that was my point
>anon wants the Whisperer to motivate him
>doesn't want to risk getting mindraped
>anon picks Radar to find the Trader
>anon makes a deal with the Trader to make a deal with the Whisperer, so the Whisperer only motivates anon to do what anon wants
>anon tells the Trader how to find the Whisperer, so anon doesn't have to know who the Whisperer is because then it won't work

I like that two people have thought up positive ways to use the mindrapist power. I'm proud!

To be honest, it's a bad plan trying to make Whisperer do the job of Inspirer. Just look for Inspirer instead and use Trader to keep everything above board.
