Where can I get a treehouse that follows me or a nice crystal tower that follow me around? Or a high place to live in?

>>52503790
Tower seed from Ar Tonelico and the new MCU part two

>>52503790
Adventure Time gets you a seed for a Tree Fort. Like one as big as what Finn & Jake live in.

>>52503790
>a treehouse that follows me
Tree Fort Seed, from Adventure Time

Hollow In Ga'Hoole (though it's owl-sized), from Guardians of Ga'Hoole

>a nice crystal tower that follow me around
The Crystal Palace, from Exalted: Infernals

>Or a high place to live in?
Armored Sky Fortress, from Mushoku Tensei.

It's a flying island with a large, lavish castle.

>>52503785
I would suggest adding replenishing ammo supplies, the bullets in this world are quite different from normal ones and it would be nice to have a reliable stock of the various ammo types for both the gun and crossbow available.

Also having the equipment retain upgrades would be really good if they don't start out fully upgraded.

A perk that lets us grant other people Outsider Marks would also be amazing.

>>52503790
I believe both living accommodations (or at least the crystal castle) are available from the horsefucker jump.

what is there to do in the dark souls 3 jump?

>>52503898
I have to ask what is the official name of that jump.

How would one go about getting the magic to do what's described in the post below?

Troll various powerful beings. Mess with the Cycle. Waifus or Husbandos. Indulge your pyromania with pyromancies, or pick up some woofs.

What does that do? How do you do it?

>>52503939
Mind control and precog will usually do it.
Or Fiendish Doctor You from Black Dynamite combined with Crimson Saint and a way to increase the range to planetary.

What non euclidean building perks do we have?

>>52503939
Heylin Magic could do it. A decade or so of training lets you lock an orbital body in place, and if you train long enough (probably several thousand years), you could reach Wuya's level AKA planetary scale reality warping. Turning every flat chest busty would be simple.

>>52503936
It uses the abbreviation instead of the full name. You'll find it in the Banned folder under Banned & Lewd. The only thing there, interestingly enough.

Am I the only one who is sad Assassins creed doesn't let you stay for more then 10 years? I wanted to be the guardian of the assassins and awakening Aura in them all to give them a boost.

>>52504072
Or you could just companion Wuya. She'd probably do it if you asked her.

>>52504147

>>52504147
Isn't there a drawback to let you timeskip now?
Just do it carefully and you should be able to stick around for way longer relative to other people.

>>52504172
Well, we actually have a canonical example of someone who's trained for at least several centuries in Chase Young. Not only that, but he was already trained as a Xiaolin Monk, and was considered a prodigy, plus he was mutated by Hannibal Roy Bean's magic soup, and yet he's nowhere near Wuya's level of power. I suppose if you had a bunch of enhanced learning perks it might go faster, but it would still take a lot of time.

>>52504204
Do you already have more of them on that list? I'd be interested in those too.

>>52504005
The first... dunno. It makes you Lord of Hollows, mildly unfucks the world by finally letting the Age of Fire end and the Age of Dark begin, and if you start building an universe in your soul (which seems to be all the rage nowadays) anything in there will probably benefit from Dark Souls metaphysics. You need to have enough Dark Sigils that Linking the Flame (which is absorbing it and letting it burn your soul as fuel to keep the Age of Fire going) just causes it to sort of stew in you impotently. There's a perk for that in DS3, and you can have Yoel awaken your hidden potential or have a weird marriage-murder ritual to take the Hollowness from another Unkindled to get some more.

No hard info about the Dark Soul, but you should feed off the Humanity of other humans anyway.

>>52504241
>anything in there will probably benefit from Dark Souls metaphysics.
That actually sounds like a pretty terrible thing, to be honest.

>>52504218
Except Chase Young focused most of his training in areas other than Heylin Magic - he was more of a warrior than a mage, and he held pride in that fact. Wuya probably gained most of her power in life (which was when she was seen as a threat enough for the first Xiaolin Showdown), and we know most of her "life" was spent as a ghost, so 1500 years is a somewhat high estimate when you consider that she couldn't use magic in that form and was thus relegated to theoretical work at best. And her resurrection isn't treated as if she'd been powering up for all that time as much as it's treated as her regaining her former power. It's heavily implied that she spent much, much longer as a ghost than a flesh and blood person, too. Maybe a couple hundred years at most.

>>52504323
Eeeeeh.

So long as your soul isn't a scrub and breaks from running one itty bitty universal cycle I bet it'll be fine.

>>52503934
Watch everything you thought mattered in dark souls 1 and dark souls 2 go to complete shit. No seriously, that's the entire premise of the game.

>>52504005
>Usurp the Flame

As an Unkindled, you do this by acquiring the Darksign from a Londor pilgrim, and then strengthening it by murdering other Hollows and absorbing their Humanity to empower your own Darkwraith-style; this is something everything vaguely humanoid in DS can just sort of do naturally by touching or standing near something that's been slain.

You then ritualistically murder worst girl ANOTHER Unkindled with an abnormally strong Darksign, and absorb HER Humanity. She may or may not have murdered for it. It would be extremely out of character for her to, but at this point an ancient conspiracy founded by Kaathe is manipulating both of you.

Finally, after you kill all the Lords of Cinder and return their ashes to the Firekeeper, she bestows them on you. The world then transforms into an even more wrecked wasteland, implied by the Ringed City DLC to be because the loss of their strong souls accelerated entropy. Light is time, and you just absorbed the greatest sources of it. You must then defeat the Soul of Cinder at the Kiln of the First Flame, and ignite yourself with said flame. It will probably hurt, or at least make you faint.

You wake up to a world with a sun indistinguishable from a darksign, thus implicitly burning with the fires of Humanity. Hollows kneel to you. You are expected to make Londor great whole again.

Exactly what it does has not been unambiguously explained. But the Profaned Flame's nature implies you probably ended the cycle of fire and darkness at the cost of creating a world where humans can do whatever they want. And the immortal Patches seems to be Miyzaki's mouthpiece for saying humans are naturally greedy, fickle bastards

In SMT Chaos terms, you created a paradise.

>>52504204
A jump Perk, not a charm. Though you might be able to wing it as one, too?

>>52504351
Well it's the nature of all things and especially Flames to wind down and die in Dark Souls, regardless of the Cycle.

Except for the Profaned Flame, apparently. So it'd probably be a good idea to see about shoving that in there, too.

I still kinda want it to be split into separate jumps for each era.

>>52504207
You still only have 10 years, you can just pop out of one era and appear in the next during your 10 years total, and you can't go backwards.

Jumpers, if you have a soundtrack, what style of music is it? Does it have a set style that you favor, does it just match up with whatever setting it's from, or is it more of a mixtape type of thing?

>>52504343
Not true, actually. While Chase did take pride as being a warrior, he used Heylin Magic quite a lot, and in fact used it almost exclusively in his take over of the world in the Season 2 finale/Season 3 premier. He only really looked down upon the Shen Gong Wu because he felt that relying on such tools instead of using your own power was pathetic. Not only that, but we actually have no idea how long Wuya was around before she was turned into a ghost. And the 1500 years where she was a ghost had her imprisoned in the puzzle box, unable to do anything at all. Not only could she not use magic, she couldn't even train it. In the episode where Omi travels back in time to prevent Chase Young's fall, we see Wuya commanding the same golems she did when she was at full power in the Season 2 premier, implying she had her power even back then. We also see that Chase's fall was before she was sealed away, meaning that he had 1500 years to train.

>>52504323
Dark Souls metaphysics isn't half bad. Just make sure to balance your souls, keep roughly equal levels of light, dark, life, and death. Otherwise you might accidentally demons, abyss, or skeleton wheels. Still not sure what the hell happens if you overdo Gwyn's light soul.

>>52504449
Mixtape easily. Got some SoL music in there, some 'humor' music like you might hear in a VN, music for mad science, full on Justice Mode music, and of course Music for when I just get pissed the fuck off.

>>52504449
Mixtape. Usually fitting to the situation, but sometimes it plays something hilariously mismatched for comedic effect.

>Eat the Dark Soul

This is much simpler. You just have to cross unimagineable distances possibly due to the city-wide time-space stasis field maintained by a sleeping Lord to find the Pygmey Lords, who share the Dark Soul of Man. And, well, eat them.

Or if you defeated Manus in Dark Souls 1-congratulations, you potentially have what Gael lost his sanity and hope for!

As for what it does, that depends on how buff you are. Gael knows at the end of the day he's a pissant scrub with a shitton of determination. By the time you meet him the curse is visibly eating a gory whole in his chest. Presumably someone more powerful like the Chosen Undead of the first two games would be able to control it better.

The SIMPLEST things it does is simply make you bigger, stronger, buffer-and able to fling around dark energy attacks. You may even mutate to the point your armor and clothing fuses with you. More powerful versions of the hexes in DS2, basically. Well, Gael flings around pinkish flames that behave like hexes but this is implied to have something to do with his frailty and his status as an unkindled considering Elfriede can fling around black flames

The more /interesting/ effects seem to be in the current time period, the fact that the Dark Soul's bearer accelerates the entire world slipping into darkness. Right after Gael bleeds and starts drawing on it much more, the sky darkens and storms whip up

Dark is a force that absorbs and corrupts other energies with unpredictable effects. It's a metaphysical constant that paradoxically fuels the flames that rebirth the world by eroding matter and energy, and can apparently even corrupt archdragons into frenzied, instinct-driven beasts. Things mutated by it start to resemble primordial beings, like dragons or trees.

You would now be the host of one of the biggest concentrations of it in the series.

Cabin in the Woods ancient ones, a ragna blade or dozen should kill them yes? If not, then perhaps a giga slave a piece?

She's just kind of by-the-numbers and exists solely to drive the plot forward. Well, two plots. At least the other girls had something interesting going on.

>>52504449
A mix of electronica, rock and operatic classical. Something like if Akira Yamaoka and whoever did the Yakuza 0 soundtrack did a collab.

>>52504549
So is Dark confirmed bad as of the last DLC then or is that stuff more corrupted and like the Abyss? Haven't actually played the DLC yet.

>>52504559
No idea, anon. They're a plot device, not something with concrete capabilities. Our only glimpse of them is the very last scene of the movie where one of them reaches its hand out from the earth as it begins the process of freeing itself. We know the people in charge of the facility believe they can destroy the world, but that's it.

So Jumpers, how do you Christmas?

I'd like it if we could pay to get an upgraded version of the crossbow. I know it's not really all that major a thing, you could probably make better with the Natural Philosopher perks, but I really love some of the Masterwork weapons in the game.

Question about power level. Where would you rank The Ovelord jump and Yusha Gojo Kumiai Koryugata Keijiban jump?

>>52504611
I just figure, if they are corporeal(which they clearly are) then they are likely vulnerable to being unmade by the Lord of Nightmares.

>>52504690
The latter above the former.

eating the pygmies isn't any different than eating the humans because they're the same race.

>>52504600
The DLC paints Gwyn as a monster. Pygmies are humans, with all kinds of extra powers and complete immortality that will just grow as the Dark grows. They live peacefully and happily in a great kingdom in the darkest places until Gwyn found them, and asked for their help in fighting the dragons. They did help, forging weapons and using hexes to fell the dragons. But Gwyn saw how their powers were derived form Dark, and how they grew stronger and stronger and he was afraid that they'd usurp him and the gods. So he presented them with a 'gift' for their service, presenting it as giving them a godly (pretty) appearance and holy powers. What it actually did is inscribe them with the Dark Sign, which is just a seal that binds their powers and makes them mortal, so they'll be the slaves of the gods. He even forced them to worship him and his kin as gods, and tore the pygmies out of the darkness and forced them to live in the light, and taught them that the Dark is evil and that they should preserve the Flame.

He is a complete fucking jackass, he did all this to his allies because he was afraid they might eclipse the gods someday.

Things don't have to be corporeal to be affected by the Ragna Blade or Giga Slave. Seriously in it's first use Lina actually uses the Ragna Blade against someone who is incorporeal.

>>52504822
Oh also Gwyn has another daughter he didn't care about. He sacrificed her life and erased her from history and used her as a seal on the ringed city and the pygmy lords.

Basically, the only difference between pygmies and humans is that humans were born bound by the Dark Sign, and so have no immortality or powers, whereas the pygmies were sealed while adults, and so still have immortality and their powers are only vastly reduced. He didn't want humans to learn what he did to them. If the Dark Sign is broken, then humans will be pygmies again.

>>52504822
So is their natural appearance corpselike or is that a side effect of the Darksign?

Oh well. After all this time it was ambiguous whether Gwyn was actually trying to save the world by linking the Flame or if he was just a bastard with dumbass kids.

Guess Vendrick and Aldia were right after all.

>>52504867
Oh, I know that, but corporeal makes for a lot easier targeting(as does being frakking huge).

>>52504883
How do you break the Dark Sign?

>>52504893
The pygmies we see are corpselike. I'm not 100% if that's from the Dark Sign as everyone is bound by it, because we never see a non-bound pygmy. They're not hollows though, hollowing is more a product of the Dark Sign and its decay.

>>52504911
With the Age of Dark, the Dark Sign, which is powered by the Flame, will die and no longer exist. Humans will thus be Pygmies again.

"Bad" is an...oversimplification. It's a necessary part of the world, and even the Usurpation is a victory for it in a sense.

Much more so for anything non-human. Even for humans, it's basically their element but it still kind of sucks more than living in an age of fire.

See, humans aren't the only things living in there. Apart from the Children of the Dark, there's a race of locusts supposed to lure people back-but really, really want to just eat everything. The giant flies in Ariandel are also implied to be a kind of Dark-based lifeform considering insects with mushrooms growing out of their backs and smaller locust-things are swarming on the plains of the Dreg Heap (the literal end of the world) and the caverns below the Ringed City

Things born of the Dark aren't FUNDAMENTALLY evil, just hungry, envious and...difficult to coexist with things not also affiliated with the Dark because it's a fundamentally corrosive, entropic force. But at the same time, it's symbiotic to the propagation of flame. DS2 has Alsanna protecting the world from the Profaned Flame, and the Ringed City has knights who fought dragons alongside Gwyn with weapons forged in the abyss, but were branded with a seal of fire because he was afraid of the Dark spreading from them to end his age.

So it's necessary and even beneficial in limited degrees, but succumbing fully to it reduces you to an animalistic horror. The shambling smoke-headed skeletons that launch "Deep" sprites are human dregs (spine pieces) given physical form. Sinking into the Abyss caused the Harald Legion to become fat cocoons of roots controlled by a black Humanity sprite

>>52504947
But then why does the sun seem to turn into a Dark Sign in the Age of Hollows?

>>52504972
Even in your post your bias is plain, because you refuse to accept the corruption of the Abyss and of the Dark Sign as unnatural, ignoring the lore about how the pygmies lived before Gwyn.

>>52504999
muh symbolism

Also we never do see a complete age of dark except in the ending where you work with the firekeeper, everything else is letting it live in some form.

+Everything humanoid and equipped with free will is likely to have immortality contingent on determination

+/- Everything is souls.
+/- Anyone you know might be someone else's reincarnation

-If a flame goes out of control because of a stronk fuel it's likely to ruin everything for everyone
-Things fall apart, the center cannot hold
-These conditions naturally predispose everyone to be jerks

>>52505019
I could say the same for you, ignoring the very existence of the Primordial Serpents and the Locusts themselves doesn't exactly paint the Dark as a good place to live in. I'm not saying Gwyn isn't essentially a thrallherd, but an age of dark isn't even all good for humans/hollows/pygmies

>>52505069
The Locusts are Abyssal corruption and the Serpents are cunts no matter whose side they're on. Remember that there are Serpents working to preserve the Flame too. They're evil manipulative cunts who are playing EVERYONE, not just the 'Undead', not just the Gods.

Whether a Dark Dick or a Fire Fucker, remember, the Primordial Serpents are your enemy. Everyone can agree on this.

They're honestly probably mutant dragons who are butthurt about the Dark and the Flame both.

>>52504999
One possible explaination for this ties into the Profaned Flame. See, it turns out a number of Alsanna's relative were the cause of it. Coal lifted from the general area has a Darkish taint upon it It's what happens when a flame gets corrupted by darkness-it becomes perpetual, and burns up Humanity for fuel.

It's basically symbolism for human/pymy dominance over the world. In Friede's pyromancy it's explained the motif of black fire edged with white is humanity's. Since you do allow the flame to contact you in that ending, it could be by immersing it in the immense Humanity you're carrying at that point you turn all the fire-or at least, the greatest quantity that sustains the cycle, into Humanity-based fires to eliminate the cycle by deepening its' symbiosis

>>52505109
Granted, but that just goes to prove Dark DOES have great potential for corrosion and mutation. It's all well and good to talk about a theoretical ideal environment for humanity, but statistically things that inhabit/are associated with it strive to distort it; the natural force itself may not be malevolent, but those empowered by it are incentivised to be so. Patches helpfully spells it out for you: EVERY age has been defined by the greed of men, and he is the way he is because he enjoys taking advantage of it

>>52504790

I look at the Abyss and the Deep the same way I do Chaos. Remember, Chaos is a profound and evil taint that produces monsters and abominations, yet is born of Flame. Another example could be seen in the Dark Sign, which is born of Flame, and how it warps the Pygmies. Hollows and Undead, with only a few of the positives and with tons of negatives pygmies don't have, are a product of this.

Both elements have the potential to be corrupted and drive people to insanity and mutation. It's just that the Abyss and Deep are emphasized by those that wish to preserve the Flame, and they have the advantage of Chaos dying out with the Flame and thus being at a weak point and of no one knowing what causes Undeath, and thus being able to cover for how their element can be twisted.

"Non-Euclidean" doesn't mean what you think it does. It just refers to geometry that can't be made using Euclid's principles. Anything that has a hyperbola or elliptic or any other curved surface is non-Euclidean. Non-Euclidean geometry is everywhere, even in your own body. Especially in your own body, actually, your blood vessels are full of it.

>>52505280
It's a meaningful word that has actual significance to many fields of engineering. Arguments about how linguistic drift and the evolution of language trumps pedantry don't apply to science and technology, because having clear terms matters there.

>>52505290
Shame that we're never getting an explanation for why some Hollows mutate into dragon-like forms. A Pygmy-Dragon connection isn't entirely ruled out, but if it exists it's not so direct as people assumed. It's a mystery we'll never solve.

I have no idea if this is going to be good or bad, but at this point it's not like I could make things worse in that world by taking everyone's toys and leaving with it.

>>52505251
The mathematical understanding of what is non-euclidean is much more expansive than what your layman perception of non-euclidean is, such that the subset is so expansive that there are many different paths to reach that desired non-euclidean architecture conclusion, even if the perks don't exclusively say non-euclidean within the wording.

>>52505337
Except that there are terms with multiple meanings in many many languages, sometimes a word or term can have two contradictory meanings. Non-Euclidean isn't special in this regard, you know what they actually meant, that's all that matters.

>>52505359
>it's not like I could make things worse in that world by taking everyone's toys and leaving with it.
You're essentially dooming the world to an end by taking things away. At least in the current timeline things are just looping in on themselves in a perpetual manner.

1.if I import an item as part of an armor , but that item can shape shift into different items is it stuck as one shape or can it still change form?

>>52505377
Like Inflammable!

>>52505377
No, because "Euclid" is a proper noun. It's the name of the guy who discovered that type of geometry. This isn't a case of different meanings in different languages, there is only one thing referred to when we talk about "Euclidean geometry". Non-Euclidean means "those things that aren't in Euclid's math" and nothing else. If you want to change it, get someone else named Euclid to make something significant so that people will be thinking of him, then you can have multiple meanings of "Euclidean". Then your argument works.

>>52505413
It just means flammable, it comes from "inflame".

>>52505395
And that's what it boils down to, isn't it.

Dark Souls Universe is fucked no matter what anyone does, there is nothing to help it other than reset the entire thing with a different set of metaphysics.

>>52505359
Honestly, at this point I'm thinking the best thing to do would be to just build your own reality-stabilizing systems and leave all this shit with Flame alone.

So basically this is all just a bunch of pedants wanting to be smart when they all knew what the original anon was asking anyway?

Guys, you're just looking like assholes.

>>52505377
Well see that's the problem, because here they can be attempting to use non-euclidean to refer to "strange" architecture, architecture that would naturally feel off, which is generally what the architecture mentioned in Lovecraft Mythos does. Alternatively, they could be using it to refer to impossible architecture, like Escheresque architecture. The two of these aren't mutually exclusive, but at the same time they're distinct enough from one another that a difference needs to be defined.

>>52505450

>Dark Souls Universe is fucked no matter what anyone does
It's not as fucked as people make it out to be, it's just stagnant, because what's shown of the world is too widely spread out and despite the massive gaps in time, nothing fundamentally changes. There's a difference in this, because from an individual perspective the stagnation is only barely noticeable unless you're an anchor like certain NPCs are. It takes an omniscient outsider's perspective to really recognize that the time loop they're in is maintaining a perpetual stagnation cycle. They've essentially hit equilibrium a very long time ago, but the cycle continued to move even though technically it shouldn't.

And the thing on top of this is that those who live in this world are both accustomed to and revel in the stagnation. They recognize the repetition and some of them even embrace it. So from an outsider's perspective you might think that you're doing them a favor by destroying everything and remaking it, but all you end up doing is destroying the way of life that they've come to accept.

What we need to do is shove this entropic mess somewhere else and start over. I suggest we shove it into Boletaria. I may or may not just want to see what happens if you do.

Is it worth it being a wielder in Kingdom hearts? I mean the keyblade is pretty cool with how you can use your heart as a weapon but I am unsure.

>>52505523
First three are from my run-in with the Bonus Bosses drawback in FF7, and my also being Plotbound via being on the train at the start.

Ultima Weapon I'm actually debating between FF6's, 8's, or 10's. They all have pretty cool stuff going for them, which do you think?

>>52505507
I'm not sure why you think it'll hard reset when the Painter's Ending confirmed the loop continues. Whether or not you consider the implications of the Painter's Ending to be valid is up to you, but the fact that it exists alone confirms that the series doesn't change from Usurping the Flame. If anything this just comes across as you acting as God because you believe that your conclusion is better than no conclusion.

Rather than wait for tonight when the ritual starts, I'm going to go down to the seals and send a barrage of Ragna Blade Arrows down to strike these things. With clones and time stop I can do it to each of the seven simultaneously. If it doesn't work, we can escalate to Giga Slaves. Huh, it worked. I almost didn't expect it to. Weak ass locals. I suppose I should destroy the seals now that the ancients are dead so that these jerks cancel their ritual. This was a short trip. Least I got some nice stuff here.

Ugh, don't remind me. Far as I can tell the closest Unified Theory of Draconicism boils down to "dark=primordial=trees+dragons" and therefore because humans/pygmies are dark-based they can channel the dark into doing weird things. Or developing dragon-Stands, apparently. Just don't ask me about how actually worshipping dragons ties into anything. For all I know it's a self-visualisation thing

>>52505322
You're essentially correct, although specifically the Abyss and Deep seem to be different mutations of the Dark. If we still assume Manus to be its' progenitor, the Abyss is the artificial overpopulation of darkness/humanity caused by torturing the bearer of the Dark Soul. The Deep, while not truly explained, seems to be the outcome of humans/pygmies rotting in the conditions of the end of an age of fire considering its' output is all very associated with humans gone wild

>>52505553
Well, a lot of people aren't really happy with the perpetual stagnation cycle but-you're otherwise not wrong.

Really, the least upsetting solution is probably just a good calendar, a better imigration policy and the Painted Worlds. Even though THEY also need flame and the Dark Soul to be renewed, they seem to operate on a different timeframe to the "main" universe" so theoretically you could just immigrant to and fro. Or maybe not, I never did figure out how the forlorn=drawn into the painting thing works

>>52505617
Taking Realm of Heroes in Overlord would put you in the solid low-mid tiers of Noblesse. But even with Level 100, there are still some potential threats. The highest go to about continent-level, but you're not likely to face them unless you're actively looking for trouble.

Well the thing is the 3rd DLC kind of threw everything into the washing machine from a chronology perspective. If we take into consideration that the first Painting is creating a second world, but this current world is actually the Painting number zero, you have to end up asking how the same elements were transitioned from one world to another in order to repeat the cycle. Having an anchor like Patches throws things further into a loop, especially with some of the dialogue lines that he says which are unnecessarily cryptic before he decides to regain his former self. It also brings up certain questions regarding how many Painted Worlds can be tied in to one another, especially when we've seen previously that a Painted World can exist parallel to another one.

Once a Painted World is created it makes some sense that a new timeline is established, and transit between the two should mean that transferring the elements is plausible, but then what is actually supposed to happen at the time of conception when the Painting is complete? If we don't have an answer to this, the Painter's last line of naming the picture remains too vague to properly extrapolate from.

>>52505769

>>52505629
Well there's no right answer anyway and at No. 55 there's no "magically wave my perks to make everything better" option. So staying the course is going to be the most likely option.

It's hardly a "my conclusion is better than none" because the way this is coming about, there is absolutely nothing that can be done to change things in a meaningful way. Especially at such an early point in a chain. So why not follow a protag path? On top of that, buying dark sigils in DS3 means you don't have to axe Anri. Less dickery. Unless this is another situation where if you don't magically fix everything or do absolutely nothing, you're an asshole no matter what you do, in which case I guess I'm an asshole.

>>52505769
>he doesn't know about noko
I mean he would be using it wrong, but once upon a time when you posted you would be directed back to the board's main page, rather than the thread you were on. Noko was to be put in the then email field(now options) to keep you on that thread, similar to putting sage in that field to prevent your post from bumping the thread.

>>52505769
I'm pretty he's just a dumbo and put noko into the name field instead of the email field.

>>52505769
>>52505700
Does no one remember Noko?

>>52505629
And who can we blame for the Abyss? The Primordial Serpents. Kaathe, who is supposedly a human ally who wants to bring about the Age of Dark, urged men to awaken and torture the Furtive Pygmy until he created the Abyss in his madness.

In this, you can see how the Serpents, all of them, are EVERYONE'S enemy.

>>52505834
Literally who?

>>52505553
The thing about the cycle is that it's implied it's never progressed naturally. We're not given any indication that an Age of Dark has ever actually happened, that the Flame has been preserved throughout the series and that's why things have stagnated. We don't know how shitty the world would be if the cycle happened naturally. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

>>52505822
The protag path is the path of inaction, because the game railroads you into making choices between strict ends. It works fine from a game and writing perspective, it doesn't make it any more commendable.

Has no one ever bothered to just tweak the Painter's Ending? Or is everyone just working off of vague lore bits and hasn't considered the implications after going through all of the dialogue in the game?

>>52505579
Yes, you get to be a mid-level shounen protag.

>>52505857
Uh noko is a email field command. If you've been on 4chan for long enough you'll recognize it. Not a lot of people really need to use it if at all. It would be like if he namefagged as sage.

>>52505614
>Painter's Ending
The painting cycle is a microcosm, but it's separate from the real world's cycle. It's only an imitation, and the painter only confirms that the painting's cycle will continue.

Actually something I've been meaning to ask because of my plans in the jump, is there an answer on whether Pyromancy and Miracles would still work after the Flame is extinguished?

>>52505857
A key site feature since forever ago.

It's automatic now of course, but there was a time when it wasn't.

You should read the site faq if you haven't. Just to see all the little things you may have missed in your time using 4chan.

>>52505895
Pyromancy is powered by your soul/pyromancy flame. Miracles actually seem to be powered by your faith in the story they are based on. The only thing that would stop working is something that stopped working an incredibly long time ago, that being the fire sorcery.

>>52505579
It depends entirely on how much value you place on having a Keyblade. I'm not familiar with the series, and the wikis seem a bit unclear on what a Keyblade can actually do, but I've heard them described in-thread as "the physical manifestation of your childhood belief that good will always triumph over evil."

I'm not saying I'd do it, but does anyone else want a Shield Hero jump?

>>52505909
Anon noko stopped being a thing a long ass time ago, back before jumpchain was a thing hell I'm pretty sure it was back before /soc/ was a thing. Just because they are newfags doesn't mean they came to jumpchain from somewhere else.

>>52505956
Yes.

>>52505895
It's very plausible. But something that could fix it is in the Paper mario jump, there's a drawback called Flower power which converts you energy pools, Ki mana etc etc, into 1 pool of Flower Points, but you get to keep this ability for 1 pool afterwards. So you could argue that you can use that pool for casting miracles and pyromancies.

>>52505956
I don't care in the slightest.

>>52505862
>The thing about the cycle is that it's implied it's never progressed naturally.
I'm not too sure about this, because of how the writers intentionally skewed the timeline from a worldbuilding perspective. Dark Souls as a franchise has always relied on a lack of information and reasonable doubt in order to build a foundation, and later have the opportunity to undermine that foundation.

The point of contention really is the question of what defines a cycle for this world, which is where the Time Loop interpretation sort of fits, whereas the Branching Paths interpretation just sort of ignores. At the end of the day the focus of the franchise lies in the Flame, not the Dark. So perhaps the definition of a cycle is simply the start of the Flame to the moment it dies off, with everything that happens afterwards being a "new" cycle of its own. With that cycle behind undefined, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad, so realistically it can be both or neither. But at that point it's hard to say that you're still within the context of the game anymore, because this franchise surrounds the Flame, to some extent it can be seen as a history of Flame, and not so much a history of Dark.

So in Overlord you can gain a ridiculous amount of power right away by choosing Level 100, at that point you literally are so strong that only the other OP scrubs in Nazarick can oppose you. This grants a whole lot of hacks but it also caps you as you can't get any stronger after that, there's no level 101 or greater (unless you took the cheat option and got a Hetermorphic race in which case you technically are level 140.) You basically are a god by the world's standards.

In contrast Yusha Gojo Kumiai Koryugata Keijiban starts you off as much weaker at their Level 5. However the top tier in setting Level 9 and 10 are ridiculously OP. The Magicians learn a huge amount of magic systems giving them ridiculous versatility while the one warrior mentioned is said to casually kill gods.

The Level 10s in Yusha Gojo Kumiai Koryugata Keijiban beat out the Level 100s in Nazarick due to their sheer versatility(The magic casters in Overlord have one magic system while the magic caster in Yusha Gojo Kumiai Koryugata Keijiban have potentially hundreds). However you can start out right away as Level 100 while you have to spend millenia training to reach the similar scale of power as the Level 10s thus making Overlord the jump where it is easier to gain power.

As for their power level in relation to everything else I would rate both as pretty high.

Honestly, she's justified since we never see a single demon do anything but be an asshole. It'd be different if we'd seen a nice one, like we've seen friendly members of every other race, but NOPE.

>>52505985
That relies on personal interpretation, which is a bit outside of scope.

>>52506076
No, she personally fiddled with her Lord Soul to restart the First Flame BECAUSE the sorcery stopped working. We aren't told what methods she used.

>>52506046
So, what all jumps are you willing to eat souls in? Because I recall you usually having a policy against that kind of thing. I mean I understand in Dark souls due to their somewhat transitive nature. But even in say Demon Souls it isn't quite the same.
>>52506076
I'm only pretty sure of it, but I think the Witch and her children worked to restore the first flame and create pyromancy using I assume similar principles to the fire sorceries. Also I do recall that she what she did was try to use her lord soul as a replacement for the first flame. Though using her the chaos/life soul to produce flame is kind of what all pyromancy is, as all pyromancers have to get a flame from another pyromancer and it originates with the chaos/life soul. So even if sue used the same concept as the fire sorceries with her own soul in place of the first flame it would still not exactly be the fire sorceries and would instead be more like pyromancy.

>>52506079
Well, it's not the same, Priscilla's arena is somewhere completely different. I get the vibe she draws a similar world because she just likes cold, dark, comforting places. She seems rather focused on that.

Honestly if the passage of time is the same in Painted Worlds versus "base" worlds there's no reason that it can't be the same world, just that things have fallen to ruin and something new has sprung up in its place. It's the sort of thing that can't be properly marked down unless Fromsoft decides to release worldbuilding notes.

>>52506195
They were already kinda ruined in Dark Souls 1's day. If we assume the Painted World cycles faster than the real world, if it's the same painting then it's been in its own Age of Whatever for almost as long as the real one, while in a faster timeframe. That shit would be far more bonkers than it is judging by what's going on at the center of the real world. It wouldn't just be worms and maggots.

Well it's... okay just kind of hear me out here.

I like to say that not all demons are assholes. We've seen examples of this in more than a few series like YYH and SMT. This is true, and any time I find demons who aren't vicious dicks towards others I will befriend them in a heartbeat. Like with befriending Priere in Disgaea instead of axing her, because that's a dick move. But Dark Souls is not one of those series. Much like DOOM 2016 and Demon's Souls and Ghost Rider, it seems like the majority of demons are absolutely, 100% dedicated to being a complete asshole towards anything that's not them. When you're in a situation like that, trying to keep that talk up is just being the demonic variant of an SJW, when they need a Blade or Spawn instead. So >>52506128 is more or less right, in that it's an action only taken when the group just has no indicators of ANYONE not being an asshole. Sure, Quelaan and Quelaag were spared. But that's because one's helpless and blind while the other's just trying to save her sister, which is more than what most demons can say.

Maybe with the flames the Demon Prince has, a new demonic race can flourish that's not vicious dicks. But in the meantime, ignoring their dickery is just stupidity on my part.

>>52506159
Outside of Dark Souls? I think the only examples would be the First Circle demons (since as they were explained to me, they're pretty much nothing BUT souls and meant to be used) and absurdly rare exceptions. It's pretty much why I grabbed Powerful Soul from Anima as soon as I could, so that way I just used myself as resources. But other than that, there would be some very rare exceptions like I said. Demon's Souls was likely another place, because fucking hell is that place bleak.

If I use shaman powers you can get from king Arthur can I unfuck the bed of chaos from existance?

Apparently even in the setting, other Super Power Lottery winners hear about her special ability and give a whimper at the unfairness of the world.

>>52506224
>If we assume the Painted World cycles faster than the real world
This is a very dangerous assumption to make though, because temporal dilation leads to a lot of supplementary problems from a worldbuilding perspective. This is a bit more significant in a world that some would consider as a "subset" of the main world, even if that in itself is generally just an interpretation without much concrete evidence.

To properly make assumptions regarding the flow of time from one world in relation to another generally you need to consider both the degree of dilation as well as the architecture of time, whether it is linear, cyclic, altogether abnormal, and so forth. But without a proper understanding of how that time flows, if we just assume that one stream moves quicker than the other, then it raises problems regarding the creation of the realm, as well as the inherent physics within the realm. Questions such as how conservation laws are maintained (especially if transit between two realms is plausible), where the point of heat death should fall, and how much energy existed within the system to begin with (so to project a lifespan of the realm). It's a bit of a headache when you start to delve deeper into the implications behind different timelines.

I don't think that it's a necessary assumption to make either, because the time frame between Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 isn't explicitly defined, and the relevance of time within Dark Souls 3 isn't quite as clear cut. It doesn't take much more than several centuries at best for a landscape to be reclaimed, especially under inhospitable circumstances.

>>52506234
Considering it is spiritual corruption and the perk doesn't mention anything of the sort, I don't think you could. A better bet would likely be The Cure from Supernatural and possibly Real Eater from Medaka Box, as The cure only says to revert humans, and the witch is not technically a human. So I would think that real eater may be required and should be able to change to reverting whatever the fuck her base nature is.

I think it might be possible. By the time of DS3, a combination of sheer time and possibly Alsanna's efforts seem to have caused the Bed of Chaos to have fizzled out so much the Demon Prince was the only one who carries enough of it to repopulate the species.

>>52506378
If you guys don't stop wanking Infinity, you're gonna drive off Val. It's getting too much for her to handle.

So wait, I thought that the problem with the Dark Souls world was that the Age of Fire has been going on for too long and now everything sucks, so the Age of Dark has to happen in order to reboot the system, so to speak. Is that not the case? And what's a 'Painted World'?

>>52506428

>>52506441
If you're unfamiliar with the lore you should probably go through it on youtube or something. Dark Souls as a franchise is heavily dependent on interpretations and a lot of those can't be completely substantiated due to elements like unreliable narrator, lack of concrete evidence, and reused motifs on the writers' parts.

Now that the franchise is concluded it's the safest time to go through it anyways.

>>52506413
That is one of the most immature things I've read in this thread and there is nothing about it that I don't love.

>>52506041
Okay, so the run I'm going for is a magic Artificer. And Talismonger from Overlord seems to fit that need really well in the sense it gives me the ability to both use Arcane and Divine energies and soft caps me to t9 magic in both but doesn't state I cannot learn t10 magic in them. Should I treat it as i can't learn t10 arcane or divine magic in that jump or can learn from it.
About the Yusha jump, even if i jump in after Overlord, I don't feel like i'd have enough time there to Max out to level 10 even if i take the 200 year drawback. But was wondering if the drawback that has me fight all 103 demon lords will extend my stay, even past 210 years, until i kill the last demon lord. It doesn't explicitly state it.

>>52506428
Valeria is the last person to be driven off by people wanking something from her jumps. She's one of the jumpmakers known for giving bare minimal fucks about what other people do with their jumps.

>>52506490
That's probably a good idea, yeah.

So, been away the past month or so. What new jumps do we have?

>>52506428
>you're gonna drive off Val
Dude, I was paraphrasing something Val herself said in response to Infinities OP nature. And no, I don't think Val will be drove off by having the most powerful single thing in the jump take all your CP and then some. Because you are having to choose between Infinity, or an 1,200 CP of discounted perkline.

What harem perks are there that actually help you maintain a harem?

There are plenty for getting a harem in the first place but seem to be fewer that make your harem get along or cause you and your harem to be seen as socially acceptable by the world at large. They don't have to be explicitly about harems, just looking for perks that would help.

>>52507273
Fate Stay Night's hero perkline has some for making harems get along. Oreimo also has that perk to let your freaky stuff get accepted by society.

>>52503790
Home in the Sky, oblivion movie.

>>52507273
A First-Rate is better than three Third-Rates (100): Having multiple spouses can be a nightmare

to even the best of people, for as a group grows so does the potential for conflict and negative emotions.

You are not most people. When you have multiple spouses and suitors, all of them for some reason seem to

come to an understanding quite quickly. Once they get to know you and each other well, the incidents of

infighting and backstabbing soon ceases, and they will work together (or at least not hamper each other) far

more often.

No Jumper, YOU are the Waifu! (100): Your many spouses will now develop feelings for each

other as well as you. It's no longer a pyramid of affection with you at the top and the harem below you, but

an intricate spider's web of relationships within the group that stays with you. As a result, they will get along

with each other more readily and both the relationships of you and your spouses are richer and more

fulfilling - not to mention robust.

Generic Xianxia

>>52507112
Ah yeah, thanks.

>>52503785
Font kind of hard to read for me in itallics. Maybe a bigger size?

The square border on Ruler is hard to see against the background

Outsiders Mark is basically a 500 CP undiscounted stand alone capstone. Endless Black should have some synergy with it as well. I would recommend bringing back that ability to mark others with versions of your outsiders mark and it's powers.

>+300cp - The Stolen Mark
To much grief for to little CP. It seems like these Drawbacks are just escalating 'Fuck you' the longer jumpchain has been around. Like first it was 'No out of jump supernatural powers' then 'no out of jump powers' and then the warehouse was added in. Then someone had this jump in a particularly bad jump expecting it to be an automatic fail condition, but people were able to survive by their companion doing a ten year escort mission (I'm looking at you Naruto) and now you just and in the companions for more BadWrongFun. Whatever.

"The Stolen Mark" should be a disadvantage that does what it says, You start the jump without any mark or mark powers, possibly with the ability to get them back in jump, possibly you don't get the mark back until the end of the jump. A way to defray the 500 CP cost of the mark with delayed instead of instant gratification. This has been used in other jumps to good effect (Infernals)

A 'No out of jump powers' is OK, but stuff in this and the first Dishonored Jump should both be allowed. Taking away the first jumps powers with the other jumps stuff is way to Meta and nonsensical.

>+300cp - Statuary
No messing with Jump mechanics just to be GrimDark, just because making a drawback that said "All your companions start petrified as a statue at the end of a dungeon (one for each) and you have to rescue them one by one if you want your companions with you this jump" was not Dark & Edgy enough. You know "you start separated from your companions" HAS been used as a disadvantage in other jumps without being derpy about it.

>>52506126
I prefer the pain train.

>>52507304
You know what's too meta? You constantly justifying stuff because of the other dishonored jump. Just because they're in the same setting, does not mean they're the same jump.

>>52507283
>>52507291
Is there anything from less dangerous jumps?

You would have thought there would be given harem comedies are a thing but I can't find much.

>>52507304
300cp drawbacks are meant to be rough. Just because some people hand them out like candy doesn't mean every jump should be forced to do so.

The fact that half your post is complaining about what other jumps do, jumpchain meta or arguing for interjump stuff, only makes you look more ridiculous.

>>52507357
>Oreimo

Could Xianxia cultivation serve as a form of protection for your soul by the virtue of your soul being absurdly stronk?

>>52507357
MC-kun’s Gift (400cp): You are the star of the show. Not really but making multiple people fall in

love with you just happens naturally, and you could probably build a harem with their consent

as well.

Familiar of Zero then

>>52507374
I was more talking about the other two as they have more obvious harem perks.

Oreimo helps with some stuff but doesn't help them get along.

>>52507357
Hero BBS has a Drop-In perk for your harem getting along, but only really works for getting mundanes (or generic OCs, if you also took the capstone) to join your harem in the first place by itself.

>>52507374
Oreimo only covers getting people to not take exception to his bitches.

>>52507389
>Familiar of Zero
That's a fun jump to go to when you've collected lots of bullshit and you're Louise's familiar. The look on everyone's face when you show up as an NGE Angel or a kaiju or whatever would be amazing.

>>52506501
>, I don't feel like i'd have enough time there to Max out to level 10 even if i take the 200 year drawback. But was wondering if the drawback that has me fight all 103 demon lords will extend my stay, even past 210 years, until i kill the last demon lord. It doesn't explicitly state it.

The Demon Lords would be constantly harassing you and as they have the ridiculous amount of numbers would not care about a bunch of them dying. You should be able to defeat all of them within 20 years like the person the perk was based off of. Extending it to 200 would be pretty impossible.

The jump was not designed to allow you to become one of the strongest people in setting like Overlord is and frankly you don't need to. If you have Overlord under your belt you pretty much set for power in all of jumpchain, unless you go to super shonen escalation settings or something along those lines.

>>52507304
Found the powerwanker.

>>52507375
I'd imagine it really depends on the xianxia story you're talking about and how that cultivation works.

It also matters which kind of attacks you're trying to protect against.
Having a stronger soul already makes a difference against several of them so it shouldn't be much different.

>>52507447
Found the asshole.

Sorry, a asshole.

>>52506690
Yeah, in a way. If you wanted to apply the same modification to something you buy, then I guess it'd only be one total purchase, but if you want to modify each one uniquely you gotta buy it each time.

Real life this is the opposite of the truth. That kind of shit always falls apart into a mess of jealousy.

>>52507574
Wooooow really? Man, who thought that a perk like that would work differently from real life.

so is just about any perk that changes how people react to things.

>>52507410
The BBS perk is great but it's a big jump to take early on. Guess the Overlord games may be the only answer. Sitcoms would help too I suppose.

>>52507613
Not necessarily. Could also "merely" be fate manipulation, as well. Ensuring that the actions most likely to contribute to the integrity of the relationship always occur.

>>52503785
Everything's frankly overpriced. The prose does nothing but hinder telling the person what each perk does, your price layouts are nonsensical, and frankly none of this makes sense for a Jumper's purchase.

And really? You're telling me those powersets are worth 500 CP?

Have you been taking advice from Red and OAA? Because this is garbage.

>>52503785

>Bonecharms – 100cp
There are closely related to the Mark. I would add something like "1st free with Outsiders mark" and make them discounted (or another one free) to someone who took Whalebone Crafting as one of their initial Mark Powers.

>Raw Whalebone – 100cp, Occultist
Creating Runes, do you NEED whalebone to make them? If so, this should be gratis to use your abilities in later jumps.

>Import – 50cp
Since you have to pay half your initial CP for the Mark, let companions do the same, and have X CP, or half X CP and a Mark. I would also give companions 600 CP or 800 CP. Enough to Get a Capstone+Endless Black if they forgo the mark, but not if they trade half their CP for the Mark.

>Canon Companion – 100cp (no Mark) or 200cp (with Mark)
Marked version should be discounted if you accepted the Outsiders Mark.

>Drawbacks
The first Dishonored did not actually have a drawback limit, probably due to the lowered effective CP due to the mark. I would recommend either removing your drawback limit, or raising it to something like 1,200 CP. And also add more drawbacks.

>+0cp Continuation
How about "If you have taken the 1st Dishonored Jump, you can elect to begin this jump in the exact time and place you ended the last jump, with the world exactly as you left it. Your jump will now last 15 years instead of ten."
The delayed start and need to go directly from one jump to the other is unnecessary complicated, and could be confusing with some drawbacks.

>+100cp - Dust Sickness
>always act up at the worst possible moments
Occasionally inconvenient is +100 CP, as written this is +200 CP.

>+100cp – Scoured
Also seems harsh for a +100 drawback, but more acceptable since it is an initial condition, not a fiat thing.

>>52507730

No, no, no, what fun is there in not looking like a simple human?

Went there after going through the Wuxia and both Avatar Jumps (didn't go Bender both times). It's fun watching everyone's faces when a guy can seemingly tap a mage on a few points and suddenly said mage can't use magic for a while. It gets even more fun when you tell them that its a skill you can teach someone else, and that it's not all that big compared some of the other stuff you have yet to pull.

The best part though? Temporarily hijacking spells through precise applications of Chi, thanks in part to the Energy Bending lessons I got alongside Aang.

You know you are bullshit when even an Elf is like, "Can't deal, I'm out."

So yeah, loads o' fun times I had shaping myself into the nightmare of all mages...when I'm not having fun and goofing off while imparting proper lessons of power usage, noble bearing, and the such to Louise on the sly. Good times.

Fair Lady best lady.

>>52507779
That is a very fun way to play it, I admit. But it's just as fun to show up as a giant monster, and change the entire dynamic of the series. Suddenly, Louise goes from "The Zero" to "She who summoned the Beast that Shall Not Be Named". And rather then having a human, or even humanoid familiar, she has a giant monster. This leads to a whole new brand of drama as she tries to get her new kaiju familiar to obey or at least listen to her, but it also gives her a sense of "I did something! I'm not a failure!".

Even better if you, as the giant monster, inform her that you can think and speak.

>They're rulebooks for a game, basically.
>You cannot be this stupid.
An imagination game.
Or are you one of those fucktards to all they do is post shit on 4chan for fun, and that is the 'game' to you.

You may not know this, but other people actually use the jumps as something to have adventures of, and even make writefags and shit. Stuff there continuity of style and theme in closely related jumps matters.

Or maybe you are one of the powerwankers who only see the jumps as stand alone shopping lists of powers for you to choose from, and don't care about setting.

>Who cares if there two jumps that are supposed to be the same place don't mesh, I'm just going to take my powers and go straight to the next jump without even putting 5 min into thinking about the setting, and all anyone who calls me on my laziness stupid.

>>52508296
You thought wrong, friend

>>52508305
Except they do mesh. All the things you think don't mesh are purely mechanics. All the fluff feels just the same as in the first. Your complaints about 'suspension of disbelief' are that you don't get to take as many drawbacks. For all you accuse me of only caring about powers, you're the one arguing for more points and cheaper powers.

Kind of arguing against yourself here.

>>52508305
>Complains about not getting as many points from drawbacks he probably doesn't even bother with
>ITS ALL ABOUT STYLE AND THEME AND STORY
Yeah. Nice try Timmy. Try being less obviously hypocritical next time.

>bodysuits
>separate pieces of armor
Uh. Wat?

You wouldn't be able to make them literally hollow on the inside or make it so whichever poor fucker is implanted with it turns into just a breast plate. They still need to have the basic Xam'd morphology a.k.a. arms, legs and so on?

What are you trying to DO with these?

>>52503785
Losing 500 CP for the Mark does seem like it might be a bit much, if only because actually progressing in them requires you to collect setting-specific items which won't follow you between jumps. So you'd pretty much be screwed forever unless you spent a significant amount of time looking for Runes. I dunno, at half your CP budget, and with such potential loss, the option feels somewhat lacking. Especially when with the same price (for your origin), you could get nifty dream powers and guaranteed potential at least on par with (likely higher) any of the Mark abilities from Endless Black and Master of Engineering or Voidheart. Unless, you can improve them post-jump, of course, in which case the issue is moot.

Curious about something here. Reading Hero BBS and it seems like Mages grow to higher levels by learning more magic systems from other worlds. How will this work post-jump? Will you retain the ability to learn any magic system you come into contact with?

>>52508369
Let me put it like this. I have a lot of fuckin' equipment, see. I'm trying to make sure the Xam'ds can still do their part and be baller at it, while they're on me, while I'm also using:

-My Promethium Driver / Kamen Rider suit.
-My Guardian Ghost 'Bahamut,' who is Armor Oversouled into the shape of an armored coat.
-My Charyeok 'Red Dragon' / Chang Sik, who via me <insert gobbledygook here>, is both manifested physically and also Armor Oversouled as an addition to my primary gauntlet.
-My Djinn 'Berith' and the transformation / Djinn Equip that comes with THAT.

So... yeah.

>>52508399
Unless I'm misreading, bone crafting is included gratis, you can use that to craft runes, and the notes indicate you can use whales from other jumps for the bone

so its fine

>>52508431
No. So you better get cracking with dimensional travel, anon. Though you could probably still learn some over the BBS.

>>52508431
Hero BBS mages use magic from different places all the time.
There's no reason why you'd be any different. It's really more like each place just has a different way of using magic. Like the difference between Eastern and Western magic in Card Captor Sakura for Example.

>>52508471
Huh, I guess you can. I wouldn't have thought the "player" would be allowed to craft those, but I guess they had to come from somewhere. Missed the relevant text, yeah.

>>52508431
On a related note, can Warriors and Rogues learn BBS magic and keep using it post-jump?

>>52508431
>>52508499
It just occured to me that you might have meant magic systems in other jumps.
I doubt going to Hero BBS would let you do that, but while you're exploring that chunk of the multiverse you shouldn't have troubles with that magic short circuting once you leave.

>>52508524
Yes. You just don't have cheat level skills in that field. Same with any other classes stuff.

>>52508524
Yes. Everyone can. Mages just get a learning boost. Last I checked, the Classes section explains this itself.

>>52508529
>>52508534
Ah thanks, sorry. Can't into reading comprehension.

So I guess the optimal route is picking up something like Enhanced Mastery first, then going Practical Guide To Evil for enhanced learning of either magic or martial skills, then going to Hero BBS for the other. Thanks anons.

>>52508510
IIRC charm-crafting is an actual mechanic in the 2nd game, so runes are a way to dump any extra bone after getting a solid charm loadout

Hello Namefag I have not seen before.
Have you actually made a jump?
Not supposed to be a namefag around here without a jump.

>>52508613

The fact that you're saying this with a straight face makes me realize how long I've been here.

God I feel old. can I leave yet.

>>52508463
...Okay, so.

The Xam'd transformation isn't like a goofy suit or something. It's a literal physical transformation. So how that'd work with your other stuff is:

>Transform physically into a Xam'd
>The Kamen Rider suit goes on OVER that.
>Followed by the coat.
>I dunno what that is, but if it's more armor physically over that again
>And I again dunno what that is but if it's physical it goes over the Xam'd shape again.

But what I was asking was why would you try to make it so the transformation turns someone into pieces of armor or a body suit? Do you want someone to wear the Xam'd?

>>52508613
BOY I've been here since the beginning, just been busy lately

>>52508613
Haha you faggot. Kanons has been here longer than you've even known what /jc/ was.

>>52508630
Okay nononono. What I'm trying to do is make the Xam'd transformation look less like a balloon-headed fish with diabetes and more like a dude in a skintight suit.

Or in the second example, as there are four different Xam'ds I bought, make each of the four Xam'ds resemble different pieces of armor IN my said transformation.

>>52508634
>I've been here since the beginning
Ok. Welcome back.
Seriously, what jumps have you made then?

>>52508653
...You know I was about to ask who you were going to get to wear the four Hiroko to then turn into armor for you to put on, but...

...Oh fuck I think I know where you're going with this.

Are you going to put all FOUR of those Hiroko in you?

Sunrider has a perk that makes the girls accept each other.

>>52504787
Overlord (Game) has the Minions which are pretty mindless and will willingly sacrifice themselves for you.

Skullgirl has Small Army which base themselves around you when picked up so go like cult leader and they will be cultists.

There is also the Cultists from Creepypasta which are crazy and follow you.

Speaking of Followers, Sword and Sorcery has Followers who are indebted or something to you and follow you.

Then there were a couple more that gave Maids/Butlers but I can't recall all of them. I think Bimbamgoumi or however you spell it had Butlers, Overlord (Series) has the Maids but super weak, and one of the Tomb Raider Jumps has a team of Maids/Butlers that can only clean up and junk.

If you don't mind them not being Companions, you can use Hive Queen and Speaker for the Dead to get life-shaping perks that let you create minions that are inherently loyal to you and can be made for a specific purpose.

All I can remember off the top of my head at the moment.

Imperium, Metro, Hotline Miami, Red Faction, co-wrote MGS, and a couple failed jumps
first might be reworked into Only War, but that remains to be seen

>>52508681
You know you can use the 4plebs archive to search by name, and by putting in pdf to only see when that person uploaded a pdf. Sure not every one he uploaded was a jump he made but you can easily tell which. Baka.

YES.

>>52503785
Arcane bond?
Perhaps as an undiscounted capstone or one discounted to people who took marks of their own that gives the ability to bestow lesser marks? With the Endless Black boost letting you grant full marks?

>>52505956
Yes, Shield Hero would be cool.

Maybe an usurp one of the 4's position, maybe play one of the lesser 7(6?) support "Weapons" like Whip and Gauntlets. Possibly an origin to let you be a survivor from another world so you cna be an entirely different set of items like the users they meet at the end.

Lots of interesting options for the setting. Easier to do since its a completed series too.

>>52508779
What are you doing.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.

In that case, it's really up to you how the appearance mods stack with each other. You could apply it to just one Hiroko and just have that override the others instead of making a bunch of janky Hiroko's and implanting them over each other.

So the Second Magic and BBS Time-Space magic. Are there other jumps with comparable levels of spatial/interdimensional magic?

>>52505956
Could be fun, being a non stupid hero with a weapon like that would be cool.
