Check the archive before making a thread like this in the future. 4chan currently has a problem of a group of Jojospammers that are going around the boards and spamming Jojo in imitation of how the bronies used to before being banned site wide, and you can find all the answers you want in the archive considering some idiot makes a thread like this every three days.

Hopefully, you're not that idiot, but if you are, fuck you.

Just finished DMing a nearly year long campaign, if this thread is still up in a few hours, I'll post a story or two.

Where do people tend to congregate for these sorts of games? I sort of drifted into one or two of these and would like to find some more.

I've been running a game in Wushu for a couple months over roll20. It's been pretty fun.

Plot so far can be summarized as "A bunch of idiots accidentally instigate a gang war, while someone throws around cryptic prophecies and everyone is confused"

Making stands for it is super fun though. Pic related is a quick sketch of one of the assassins who went after one of the party members a few weeks ago.

>>52795840
Ok, you just can't post that and not tell us what it does.

>>52796340

「Sleigh Bells」 creates little bell-bombs on its arms and belt, which cause explosions of raw force with about a 2 foot diameter. The explosions also upset the inner ear and optical nerve of people if they are hit by it, causing minor hallucinations and vertigo.

Also, if the user dies, the stand explodes!

>>52795807

Hey, does anyone want me to post some of the other stands I've made/drawn for the campaign?
I'm working an overnight shift tonight, so I might as well do something with my time.

Alright so first up, a stand that hasn't shown up in the campaign proper, but is part of one of the PC's backstories during his career as a Private Investigator.

「The Killing Type」
A stand passed down through the bloodline of the affluent Dresden family, 「The Killing Type」 is an automatic stand that anchors itself to a new host in the bloodline when its previous host dies. It is fully sentient, and talks not entirely unlike Valkenhayn von Helising from Blazblue. It listens to its host, but is not commanded by them.

「The Killing Type」 has the power to telekinetically control blood that it has come into contact with within the last half hour, including blood from wounds that it has touched. It can also move this blood with enough force to tear it out of someone's body through the skin.
Additionally, it can force blood under its control to clot and liquidate at will.

It's current host is a high school freshman, and it acts like a butler.

>>52795068
Ok, I'm finally free, but I'm probably going to bed soon so I can't type up too much tonight. Is there still interest for stand descriptions/storytime?

>>52797434
Sure!

Next is a villain of the week style dude,
「Skunk Anansie」
Besides being a multi armed shadow thing, it also flickers like the final boss of Hyper Light Drifter all over the place.
「Skunk Anansie」 allows its user to instantly understand how to skillfully use any weapon they pick up, and allows those weapons to affect stands. However, the stand's power burns away at the weapons in question while they're in use, usually over the course of anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

This stand also counts weapons as anything explicitly designed to fight and kill, so theoretically if it got its hands on a tank or a fighter jet, bad times would occur for the few minutes it would function before it dissolved.

I'll post about one of the stands in the campaign before I head to bed. Which of the following do you want to hear about?

>Albuquerque
>Cold Outside
>Bananaphone
>Sing Sing Sing
>Gas Gas Gas
>The Wall

>>52797628
Oh man do Albuquerque.

Gotta get your lucky lucky autographed glow in the dark snorkel.

>>52797686
Oh boy, you picked a doozy... I'll have to make this multiple posts.

「 Albuquerque」appears as a four armed torso with a block letter head and a price-is-right-esque spinner where its hips would be that reads "ALBUQUERQUE"

Most importantly, 「 Albuquerque」is an ACT stand. Like the original song, it is needlessly drawn out, having 11 acts, one for each minute of the song's runtime. All of the acts were based off of other of Wierd Al's songs.

Al was a recurring minor villain that would usually accompany another stand user. Unfortunately all 11 acts were not shown as we had to cut the campaign short as my terrible pacing made the campaign more than twice as long as it needed to be.

Next post will start listing off the acts.

>>52797875
>11 Acts

What have I done?

>>52797617
>anything explicitly designed to fight and kill

So basically most knives, axes, machetes, etc. any kind of tool weapon would be incompatible with the stand?

This is horribly impractical
>has to have back up weapons any fight won't be over instantly, and even then better be safe than sorry
>suddenly you're spending half of your salary on weapons for stand battles because high quality weapons are expensive and they're meant to last more than one fight
>get pulled over by cop who's rightly suspicious why you're carrying six rifles and four katanas on you.

>>52797875
Here are the ones that made it into the campign:

>A: Amish Paradise
Abysmal stats, but had the ability to prevent any technology developed after the 1700s from functioning. Including, but not limited to: JoJo's phone, a handgun, and an entire bus. Al was thwarted once the players realized he had no defenses against thrown rocks.
>L: No Cigar
Its hands became detachable stop signs that stopped motion in a small area. The spontaneous blockage of pathways indirectly caused the party's kill-bot, 「 Malcolm」, to target one of the party members due to a series of poorly worded orders. After a game of cat and mouse, polka music, and a stop sign getting embedded in JoJo's heart, the party caught Al in a position with no stop signs and used Al into a human piñata.
>B: Handy
Brought out in a panic after Al was thoroughly piñata'd. Had the ability to build stuff at lightning speed by summoning materials you'd find at a hardware store out of thin air. (Hardware Store already belonged to another stand user.) Didn't last long, but managed to cause a ruckus by rearranging the terrain and throwing freshly-built sheds at people
>U: Drives Like Crazy
Could make any object with wheels able to be driven at speeds comparable to a drag racer. Al helped two other stand users (GAS GAS GAS and Rock the Shazbot) stall the players via a stupidly contrived race. Al chose to drive a forklift. It was a sturdy ride until he slammed himself into a wall less than a mile before the finish line
>Q: Lost Jeopardy
Appeared in the attire of a game show host complete with flash cards. Anyone who guessed wrong on a question got tased. (Including Al himself) Eventually decided to give up after he ran out of questions.
>U: Dare to Be Stupid
Made everyone in range gradually lose intelligence until they forgot how to breathe. Could also shoot beams of concentrated autism.

>>52798372
Well I never said they were a GOOD stand user.

It is also horribly impractical. On the other hand, it gives the user crazy perfect knowledge of what to DO with the weapon while they have it. They mostly fought the players with an old hunting rifle, a few handguns and a knife, but they were meant to be a villain of the week kind of stand, so they aren't gonna be anything top tier.

>>52798113
I kind of bullshitted that by gradiating the idea of a weapon designed to kill. A gardening/landscaping machete wouldn't work, but a nice weighted one for military usage would. A pocketknife wouldn't work, but something designed to actually see usage against someone else, like a bowie or karambit would, etc.

>>52798461
And finally...

>E: Everything You Know is Wrong
The one time 「 Albuquerque」 fought the party alone. All Laws of physics cease working as they should in ACT 11's range. Greatly annoyed our nerd JoJo, as his notebook started talking to him about art history, and finding that he could simultaneously prove and disprove the parallel postulate. Other notable events include gratuitous amounts of spontaneous combustion, ACT 11 gaining sentience, a King Crimson time erasure, and an immovable lampshade appearing on a player's head. Was eventually subdued by a pissed off 「 Malcolm」doing the following:
>GM: "...you know string theory?"
>Player: "Yeah?"
>GM: "He's cutting the strings with his chainsaw."


Unfortunately I never wrote down the unused acts in my notes, so whatever Fun Zone and UHF did is lost to the ages.

Well, have a stand I posted previously, but made a few changes to.

「Better Than You」 was a stand I made that started at minimum possible stats, but could steal stats from others to bolster itself, and eventually start stealing stand powers from enemy stands.

I decided the stat thing was a bit distracting from it's real purpose and decided to just give it normal stats.

「Better Than You」 is a fairly typical high-power punch ghost, along the lines of Star Platinum or The World. Instead of time shenanigans though, he's basically a power vampire, and can temporarily steal Stand power from other Stands, leaving their power at half normal strength while givign itself a half-strength version as well.

If 「Better Than You」 KILLS a stand user while stealing it's stand power however, it gains that power permanently, making it a "recurring villain by design" Stand(I feel safe doing this because if there's one thing my group loves the shit out of, it's recurring villains).

This is in contrast to another stand user who the party can bump into, 「Something To Believe In」 that can boost the power of other Stand user's powers(but not itself, hence 「Better Than You」 won't steal his power as he considers it a waste), but has very little ability to do anything by itself.

>>52798489
Also had potential Big Bad stand 「Justice For All」 that would have been an awakened Stand-powered Statue of Liberty. Decided to rename it 「American Woman」 to be more thematically appropriate, with it's Stand Power being essentially 「Bad Company」 with all the deadly war vehicles being full-sized.

>making an Act 2 for your stand on GM's request
>GM kills you before using it anyway

>>52798489
I can't for the life of me figure out to how make and balence a stand that is punch ghost+another power.

Because any interesting power feels like it should be able to support itself without any sort of combat ability. And adding combat ability might make it over powered.

So any punch ghost I feel like I can come up with just a shittier slight variation on Silver Chariot, which is already shitty.

>>52798627

Holy Fucking Shit

>>52798658
Admittedly it is a bit difficult, since a Star Platinum-level punchghost would be fine enough to kick the shit out of most gimmick stands in a straight fight, and throwing gimmicks on top of it seems cheap.

>>52798668
Only potential. it's the current goal of a shady government stand research group gone rogue, who have been spending the entire 5-6 months stands have been around to study them, and found a few "rules" about how stands work.

1. Stands are formed when fragments from a certain meteorite pierce the skin. This causes a star-shaped scar for unexplainable reasons, and causes the awakening of a Stand.
2. Larger meteor fragments cause more powerful stands, though not always the case. The group also has the single largest piece of the meteor, about as big as an elephant, and weighs about as much.
3. Once a Stand has awakened, if the fragment is removed and replaced with another one, the Stand will not change. The user causes a specific stand to appear, the meteor only catalyzes it.
4. In order to cause a stand, something must be either humanoid, have some sort of intelligence, or both. having both tends to also result in a more powerful stand, though again not always the case. This results in accidentally dropping a meteor fragment on a computer, causing it's technology controlling stand 「Digital World」 to awaken.
5. Multiple fragments in one person don't cause multiple stands, or appear to have any real effect om the stand beyond the first one awakening it. They don't know the real secret is to implant a meteor fragment into the Stand itself.

I think that was all the "research" notes I had on stands in my setting.

The ultimate goal of the group is to install an AI into the Statue of Liberty to meet the "has intelligence" part, then drop the fuckhuge fragment they have into it to create the strongest stand they possibly can to take over America with.

Oh, nice to see my work might have some endurance!

>>52798776
Man that is a really ace plot actually.

I was really struggling to conceive of a good overarching villain for mine, I ended up with a cabal of stand users who were centred around the idea of using one of their stands to force a vampire and its minions to play nice, then forcing a stand into the vampire in order to cause stand manifestations in all of its underlings too, in order to make an endlessly expanding superpowered servile underclass for humanity to tread on.

>>52793419
"the"?
Post it

>>52799192
I'm still working on some American music-themed stands to round out the group (working name is 「Real Americans」, named more ironically than anything else).

Currently have...

「This Land is My Land」, a territory-based stand. Is powerful and incredibly mobile inside it's pre-defined "land," but is much weaker and less combat-capable outside of it.
Possibly 「Star Spangled Banner」, an american-flag patterned bodysuit Stand that can manipulate the stars and stripes on itself, to make throwing stars, buzzsaws, or just Spiderman around.
I might rework 「Justice For All」 into a 「Real American」 stand. Maybe something that might mostly focus on redirecting attacks/abilities around.
And 「Queensryche」, an information gathering dream stand, sort of a combination of 「Heaven's Door」 and 「Death」. Entirely non-combat and mostly invades dreams to gather information. Would get torn apart by any real stand, and who's only real advantage is being in a place where he'll never have to deal with other stands himself. The fact his name doesn't fit the theme is a hint that he's secretly working against the group, and using his dream information gathering to find people who can stop them.

And of course, potentially 「American Woman」 being a thing at some point.

I also have the power vampire 「Better Than You」 and a fungal zombie-making stand 「Terror Time」 also in the wings if they don't follow up on that plot, or somehow foil the 「American Woman」 plan before it happens. Still a work in progress.

Also have a list of stands I'm not quite sure how to work into the game, so I'll probably have them on a "x character couldn't make it, so he had an off-screen run in with 「Stand Y」 while you guys were doing z" list. Currently have some less interesting stands like the sonic-manipulating 「Shout 2 The Lord」 and shadow-controlling 「Black Swan」. Debating on whether to put the friction/traction controlling 「Cha Cha Slide」 on this list or not.

>>52799531
As the guy responsible for >>52794151 I'd have to protest that you are making your stands powers *too* themed around their song.

That said,
>x character couldn't make it, so he had an off-screen run in with 「Stand Y」 while you guys were doing z" list
is fucking brilliant, I'll definitely use that if I run another game of my Nights Black Agents hack.

>>52799633
Admittedly they're a little obvious. I'll have to work on fixing that a bit later.

I figured having some "oh you ran into off-screen stands" moments would let them feel like there's more going on than just what they're directly involved with, and could sometimes occasionally give them an extra guy to call up if his stand has some specific ability they're looking for.

>>52794151
Made an enemy stand with this system

Stand:「Duel Madness」
User: 「A Fucking Cat」

Destructive Power: A
Speed: C
Range: E
Durability: B
Precision: D
Developmental Potential: A
Ability: Makes a Maze with a Guardian. Sends the target to a large, ever shifting maze with a large cat-Minotaur roaming through it. The Guardian can pass through the walls but must always be touching them. Targets are sent to this maze dimension after receiving a bite from the cat, and if they reach the end of the maze they are ejected out of the cat's mouth. The Cat-minotaur can summon to its side anything that has been brought into the maze, and actively attempt to keep those inside from leaving.

>>52799645
Yeah, its a good way to avoid wasting a player's absence, and its the kind of scenario that happened all the time in the series.

>>52799687
This is a hilarious counterpart to one of the original party members made with this, a stand that possessed dead dogs and caused people to hallucinate dogs. It would actually counter the stand really well on account of the dog stand being unable to effect the outside of the maze from inside.

So what's a good way to introduce the idea of a Jojo game to a group that has next to know knowledge of the series itself?

>>52800278
I would probably say introduce it as basically a superhero game, and explain to them the whole campy mindset, reference names for everything, and the idea that all superpowers generate stands.

It's probably gonna seem to them like crazy, campy superhero insanity.

Pitch it as a camp, over the top Supers game where powers are either odd or limited and thus creativity is encouraged to win fights. And mention that because it's a generational story that it can be set in whatever time period they want it to be in, even ones that'd be odd for a normal Supers story.

I remember there are a few, and some JoJo-ified homebrews for other systems.

One of my friends actually has his own homebrew system where the way his Summoners work are basically functionally identical to Stands...not that I've said as such to him yet.

Pic related, the Summoner PC I played in his homebrew.

Any tips for running a JoJo campaign with 5-6 people? I feel like I'm going to have to throw really bullshit enemies at the group to really pose a threat.

>>52804927
Look in the archive for /sss/, there's a few links in there.

I have been trying for months to get a Jojo game ready. I finally jave players but everyone is travelling this weekend.

Keeping this alive

>>52805167
I'll play

I'm looking to make a weird JJBA-take on a monster; somewhat like the Pillar Men & Vampires.
I've settled on Werewolves and while I've got some initial ideas going, I'm not sure what sort of powers to give them.
Any suggestions?

>>52810072

The ability to control animals?

>>52810133
Maybe.
The idea I have is that the werewolves aren't from around here; they owe their abilities to inhuman tampering with their DNA. Right like the very first werewolf found a downed spaceship and in discovering it were consumed upon by whatever lived inside.

The aliens couldn't live in earth's atmosphere, but could adapt by absorbing living tissue and mimicking it. The first alien-humans were horrifying, looking and behaving more like monsters from The Thing movies. Subsequent generations spread out the alien-ness of the blood line resulting in a more stable human who could transform into one animal.

Every few generations however there are a couple "alpha" werewolves who are able to transform into a human/animal Hybrid. This form has odd powers... But I am not sure what to go with here.

Made this stand couple of days ago

[Omega Rhythm]
If the stand comes in contact with an item, it can "mark" that item. Anyone besides the stand user who touches the item will lose any sensorial preception of said item, be it visual, auditive or otherwise.

It's ACT 2 allows to apply this effect to living beings, including the Stand User.

It's ACT 3 allows depriving a target of absolutely all senses.

It always baffled me why people liked the stand powers so much. I always greatly preferred Hamon.

>>52818491
Because of the creativity and puzzle like aspect they can bring where Ham on Cheese is basically just electricity that for the most part only works on undead/vampires

>>52794151
Haha, holy shit, I decided to try and roll the stats for this thing. Depending on whatever theme I come up with, this thing could be some fun-ass crazy shit:

Stand Stats:
Power: S (seriously, I rolled a 100 and fucking laughed - I never fucking roll good shit like that)
Speed: C
Range: A
Durability: C
Precision: C
Potential: E

So what do you fuckers think we can do with stats like that? Cosmic power, and global-tier range, even if the rest is middling to shit, still has a lot of potential.

Shit now I started remembering my campaign.
We had to cut it short but the plot was basicaly stopping the evil bad guy controlling the criminal underground, whose stand was to be revealed to be a portal to a "hardcore metal" version of the world.
That bad guy?
Fucking MC Ride, with the stand [Lord Of The Game]
We are a russian group so I made this one encouter based on the famous song [Golden Domes]:
A group of five gopniks just stopped the group, encased them in an arena that looked like a russian churches golden dome, and just started beating them with golden brass knuckles.
They almost killed everyone.
After that we had to stop the game because 2 people went to study abroad.
Hope they come back for the summer.

>>52820437
So basically it hits strong and far, but has average speed, durability and precision? Maybe something like artillery or an RPG? Or maybe go full ham and make a remote controlled tank stand?

so I've been trying to come up with evil stand users but I've been struggling to come up with suitably "bizarre" powers.
I've decided to pick normal powers and then build on top of them to try and make it easier on myself but I'm still hitting a block, any suggestions on what to do with
>Flight
>Strength
>Speed
>increased sensory abilities (supervision, hearing)
>invulnerability
>heat vision

>>52823500

Perhaps being able to impart animal traits to people animals and maybe even things by bite.

As if the lycanthropy is a virus they pass around.

Alternatively they give "human traits" to things they bite, since were in werewolf comes from an old germanic word for man. A cat that bitten by a werewolf becomes a smart ass animal like iggy. Or even transforms into a person by daytime. Then bam they can also have stands, and a secret identity that turns on at night.

Werewolves are virulent "human-ness"

Pic semi related.

>>52820437
How about, remote controlled, utterly destructive rockets.

They have range, they have absolute destructive power, they could sneak around corners at middling speed and can be dodged somewhat fairly. But the utter LETHALITY of said rockets is what makes them dangerous. And the range makes them hard to escape.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uddetgoay_I Vid related perhaps.

>>52823500
>Flight
The user has the ability to fly like a helicopter, by sticking his arms out and spinning around really fucking fast. The stand manifests as a another set of limbs that floats by the helicopter man and basically acts as a bunch ghost while the user spins around and flies through the air.

>Strength
The stand has the ability to make things weigh less to make it look like the user has super strength. So while the user isn't stronger, he could say, pick up a car or some really fat dude with ease as long as they're in range of his stand. Throwing said lightweight fat dudes and cars would mean they fly off like a little wiffle ball, but then leaving the range, crash down like a ton of bricks. (I think that's how gravity works).

I have more ideas but tell me what you think?

>>52824660
seems alright so far, I could get some mileage out of the strength guy. let's hear the rest.

>>52824733
>Speed
Cowardice fueled super speed. The more scared the user, the faster he runs. Goes full cartoon with it too, being able to run right through walls leaving person shaped holes, maybe if frightened enough they'd do the barry allen thing and shift their molecules through walls by sheer will to run the fuck away. Could belong to a thiefy character that doesn't so much fight, but needs to be caught. Could be defeated if he doesn't have the chance to get scared enough to super speed out of there.

>Increased sensory abilities.
I've suggested this in use on a /co/ related thing, but "Velocity Vision" The ability to see the future and previous path of objects in motion. If they were shot at with a bullet, they'd be able to see its path back to its source. If they held a gun, before they fired they'd see the path the bullet would take ricocheting off of signs and things, allowing them to do trick shots and whatnot. Same kind of logic could apply to cars doing sick stunts or the user themself. The big drawback is that the stand might not have much destructive power, and as such might require the user's own moxie with say kung fu, gunplay, or whatever.

What's the most unorthodox character you've used in a jojo campaign?

>>52824733
>Invulnerability
The stand can take on the quality of things it touches, and thereby gains their resilience, and shares that quality with the user. The stand takes on the qualities of say, steel, so its fists become hard as steel, and its body is hard to penetrate without say, tank level ordinance, but so is the user. A potential fun downside/sideffect is that the user can't move so long as the stand is "empowered" with a quality. So to use the steel thing again, the stand is hard as steel, but the user is coated in steel, and can't move because he's like a statue and really heavy. So the user has to make a choice between less resilient, but more pliable materials, or being an indestructible powerhouse of a stand, that leaves the user stranded in the middle of say an intersection.

>Heat Vision
The stand fires beams that make things more "flammable". Doesn't light stuff on fire, but generally lowers the "iginition point" or "melting point" of objects affected. Maybe the longer he keeps the ray on you the lower your melting point becomes, so that you'd turn into liquid at room temperature, or burst into flames in a a meat freezer just from an errant static spark.

Does this help?

We had a sentient roomba that was pissed off because its owner forgot to clean out its vacuum

I've always wanted to run a JJBA game. Are there any homebrew systems for it?

ive mentioned this in other threads but im a player in an alt part 6 called "Speedwagon Academy" and I love it. We're finally into the endgame. The GMs have set up fights for every character, and as a group we managed to kidnap and interrogate two of the villains we already beat.

I'm mailing one of them back to her parents.

In an envelope.

Now I have to fight a girl whose Stand is basically a space elevator.

>>52823500
Make a stand named 「Five For Fighting」 that has five of those six Superman powers (flight is kind of a given for punchghost stands) but only uses one at a time.

>>52824465
I'm actually developing a stand like this and was thinking of giving it to one of the werewolves.

I was going to be apart of a JoJo campaign but unfortunately it never took off. Still have the stand I made though so I guess I'll post it.

Stand:「Newjack」

Power: B
Speed: E
Range: S
Durability: S
Precision: C
Potential: E

Ability: Upon the user touching anyone within a very short 1 meter radius Newjack latches onto them and perches itself upon their head. While stuck to its victim Newjack relays any order given by its user to the victim. These orders must be very simple, to the point and cannot require outstanding effort or time on the victims part to fulfill. If the victim does not fulfill the order within a minute of receiving it then Newjack will kill them by strangling. If the victim completes 3 orders in a row they are freed from Newjack and the ability can only be reapplied by another touch. While active Newjack cannot be removed or destroyed through any method other than fulfilling the 3 orders.

Examples of orders that are okay: Walk three steps forward, stab yourself, turn off the lights.

Examples of orders that are not okay: Walk three steps forward then turn left and walk another three steps, stab yourself in the eye, turn off the lights in the living room.

I've been considering that for the BBEG, sort of like how dio was supposed to have all the tarot cards powers before Hirohiko Araki went with time stop

really dumb stand idea that I just came up with but I think it might go for it just because of the reference to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXNIqbNGizI

Stand:「What's New Pussycat」

this stand has no offensive abilities, it's range is pitiable and destroyed in a single punch but it's easily one of the most cruel stands in the world.
it traps it's foes in a 2 minute time loop until it's victim kills himself in insanity or the stand user is defeated.
it however has a weakness, every seven loops the stand user is broken free from his own time loop and can act differently then the past six loops.
should his victim discover the true identity of the stand user before the two minutes are up he can easily defeat him and break the time loop but should he fail he won't have another chance until the next 7th loop.

So I need help making a stat block for a stand I had in mind.
The problem is balancing it's ability.
「Outkast」
「Outkast」 has a ability that gives it infinite range, but it's stats change depending on how far away it is from it's user. If you're right up in his face, then it will be strong enough to slam you over his head. If you're at a medium range it drops to a C in strength, then at the furthest ranges it drops down to a D in strength.

The way this works is that if you can see where you want the stand to be it can be there. But you have to see the place in real time.
Lets say you had a picture of a place, the stand can't be there. But if you were filming the area with a camera then you can have the stand appear there, even if it's on the other side of the world.
So all in all, how do I balance 「Outkast」 and how do I use it for some interesting encounters? Pic unrelated.

>>52823500
>Flight
Inflicts weightlessness. Possibly by touch, or an area of zero G. The user has extensive practice and tools to fight in such an environ, or otherwise take advantage of it: pushing enemies up into open sky until they drift out of survivable atmosphere or the stand wears off and they fall, or skewering them as they both fly around a room.
>Strength
The stand grants the user the ability to "trigger" super strength by performing some specific task, like the other giant in that one Finn MacCool legend who pulls/cracks his finger to activate his. The strength is proportional to how much they "charge" it, and has to be dismissed to null by another action and recharged to reach a lower amount. Can easily do too much and overshoot feats of strength; leaping far too high, punching something so hard they fly back, etc.
>Speed
It affects speed in an area. Those affected are slowed down or sped up, at a rate which increases exponentially. This bubble could shoot someone forward in time, or keep them frozen in it, as long as the stand user manages to keep it active.
>Supersense
They do it through others' senses. The stand marks someone, and the user experiences their senses, superenhanced.
>Invulernability
Invulnerable entirely to intentional attacks. No matter what hits it, if it was supposed to or was done in hoped of harming the stand/user, it fails. Only accidents may harm the user- they might have to bait him into a firing range or busy street, for example.
>Heat vision
Others are compelled to look at the stand user, and heat up whenever they see them.

>>52826741
I like it

>>52828332
I'll just post the whole story

The roomba's name is Randall.
「Domo Arigato」is the name of the stand. It had the ability to animate inanimate objects by prodding them with its cords and command them as minions.

Randall's owner is a researcher for the Speedwagon Foundation, Luigi Zeppeli, who was doing research on stands at the time. Randall ended up sucking up a small fragment of the stone arrow, granting it sentience and a stand. (somehow) It continued doing its job despite this, but got increasingly annoyed as Luigi repeatedly forgot to empty out its vacuum.
Angered at its inability to perform its job, Randall started assaulting its owner by secretly commanding household objects to attack him.

Luigi also possessed a stand, but his stand power was suited for causing massive amounts of collateral damage, so he could not deal with the army of toasters attacking him without ruining his home.
Fortunately for him, Luigi's nephew came to visit a few days later with the party in tow. Seeing that the party had notably less destructive stands than he did, he enlisted them to sort out the issue and promised to give them some of his stand-related tech in return.

Some of the notable events of the ensuing fight:
>PC getting rudely awakened by a barrage of burnt toast
>PC getting run over repeatedly by surprisingly fast cheese wheel
>PC accidentally discovering Luigi's daughter's garbage taste in anime
>Surprise assault from a toaster hidden in the bathroom
>innocent ashtray being thrown off a balcony "just to be safe"
>Party taking a break to ponder why Luigi owns so many toasters
>Luigi explaining to the party why he owns so many toasters
>PC getting in a shootout with animate airsoft guns
>the JoJo learning how to "speak binary" so he could speak with the roomba
>roomba immediately ceasing combat after JoJo offers to clean it

Was going to have a remarkably similar recurring villain in my campaign actually, though mine's a bit weaker than yours.
「Spirit of Survival」 is able to steal the ability of any stand user's stand that it kills, however 「Spirit of Survival」 is completely bound to the body of its user (a wolf). No mid-fight stealing though and no real stat gain.
Final villain was going to have 「Faces」, a stand that allows you to swap reputations, that eventually becomes 「Faces Requiem」, capable of swapping stands. Keeping the possibility open of 「Spirit of Survival」 getting involved in this fight, and giving the main villain his powers.

>>52830645
No such thing as aliens.

>>52830645
Not that I have planned, just the magic meteor that causes Stands that's actually a space-faring eldritch monster that got blown up by missiles before it got too close. Stand users attract each other because the monster's pieces are subconsciously trying to pull themselves back together.

>>52793419
I posted the premise for one of my games a long time ago in a different thread. It takes place in the SBR universe during another Steel Ball Run in 2014 in the United States of Valentine. The main premise is that a clandestine faction called the Sons of Valentine (SOV) learned the truth about what President Valentine was going to do with the Corpse Parts. Disillusioned with the corruption and decay they think America has fallen to they mask an expedition across the world in the form of a new Steel Ball Run across America, Europe, and a few places in Japan using their influence within several branches of the American Government. The corpse parts were hidden in several areas around the world by another faction opposite the which is made up of a coalition of the other countries believing that it was too much power for one person to have. Along with trying to reclaim the corpse parts the real reason the Sons of Valentine are sponsoring the Second Steel Ball Run is because they found out the Devil's Palms around the world are also connected to a Stand believed to be part of the Saint's second powers. The Stand goes by [Waters of Nazareth] and is believed to be a splinter stand (like Weather Report's Heavy Weather or Kira's Sheer Heart Attack) that allowed the Saint to resurrect themselves. It's also known as the Holy Grail to some and it's a mad dash to see who can recover not only the corpse parts but also find the whereabouts for [Waters of Nazareth]. The Sons of Valentine want to find it because they have quietly exhumed and withheld President Funny Valentine's Body in a hermetically sealed case and plan on using [Waters of Nazareth] to resurrect him so he can lead America to their supposed promised land.

The race is pretty much revamped with a bit of Mad Max/Death Race 2000 vibes. The only rule is that your vehicle has to be land-based and you are only allowed in air/sea for transport (also because the SOV use aerial/aquatic stands/tech)

Mixed a little bit of Metal Gear into it as the Sons of Valentine originally tried to clone Funny Valentine and instead got Triplets each with their own separate stands and abilities. They were the main villains of the campaign and helped create several of the issues that got the party into fighting the SOV.

Fleming Valentine (Based on Funny Valentine and Valentine Fleming, the father of Ian Fleming [James Bond's Author])

Fleming is a reserved individual dressed in a black and white business suit with a red tie and a USV pin on his lapel. He tends to be passed up and looks unassuming because of his average looks and posture. This is all an act because he uses this to his advantage so he can pass people and have his stand infect victims in transit.

Stand: 「The Pretender」[Foo Fighters song], it eventually evolved into 「The Great Deceiver」(King Crimson Album).

It's a swarm of humanoid creatures bound to the user's shadow but can move in between the shadows of others as long as they are within arms reach of the shadow.

It's special ability was that it could infest another person's psyche and become a twisted reflection of that user's deepest darkest fears, quirks, personality traits, etc(Think the Inner Shadow from Persona). However if the person lost the battle of wills against the Pretender then it traps the user's soul within a prison inside their own mind. The Pretender has control over their body/soul and by extension their stands if the victim has one. One of the markers for a possessed person is that they're shadow looks distorted after inspection and their irises are slightly dilated as if they are in a trance. The insidious thing is that The Pretender can "spread" itself by using a host's shadow to break off a copy of itself to repeat the process to another victim though it is limited to 13 victims at max ( a reference to the 13 colonies and Death 13 from Stardust Crusaders).

>>52835769

James B. Valentine (Funny Valentine, James Valentine from Jo Jo Zep [Australian Band], and James Burgon Valentine [Maroon 5])

James is the clone that physically resembles Funny Valentine after he absorbed the Saint's Torso, even down to the US flag shaped scars that were genetically engineered to be his birthmark. For James, Funny Valentine's goals is gospel to him so he constantly tries to do his best to reach his "father's" ideals in the most cutthroat determination possible.

Later it is revealed that the genome that was used to create James was damaged and had to be spliced genes from another body found near Valentine's Corpse (Which was Alternate Universe Diego Brando with The World).

His stand: Sins of the Father (Black Sabbath Song)

Sins of the Father takes a form reminiscent of a mixture between D4C, The World, and Gold Experience (not requiem) adorned with Hearts and white stars as it's motif.

At first the doctors were happy with James as even his stand resembled D4C and they thought it had the same ability. However it has a variation of D4C's power but is not the genuine article which infuriates James to no end.

「Sins of The Father」or S4F has the ability to manipulate the time of a person and/or object. It can revert or bring back a copy of an object up to 50 years into it's past. The person or object has to be touching S4F or James to be affected by this power. Similar to Funny Valentine's D4C if a copy touches itself it creates a Time-Paradox that causes both targets to explode into menger sponges. One thing that notes the usage of his power is that people affected by it cast no shadows and because James has used this ability to "unwind" his wounds several times he does not have a shadow either.

>>52835769

Helen Hilton Valentine or H2H Valentine (Hilton Valentine from The Animals, Paris Hilton (Heiress/Fashion Designer), Helen Valentine (Founder of the Seventeen/Charm female magazines, and Funny Valentine).

Helen likes to put up a front that she's a cutesy almost Disneyesque princess to push people's buttons. She feigns ignorance and pretends to be ditzy/clutzy to push people's buttons such as saying things at an inopportune time, accidentally slipping and showing people her panties, etc. so she can get a read on how she can manipulate them via anger or shame. Behind that she's quite intelligent and skilled in several forms of medical arts such as plastic surgery and rapid medical response in case she ever gets hurt. She's the only Valentine to actually care when her underlings get hurt and takes time to heal them using her stand and medical knowledge but then again she sees them as her property and therefore need to be kept in proper condition.

Stand: 「Sodom & Gomorrah」(Accept Song) later evolved into Beast & The Harlot (Avenged Sevenfold Song)

「Sodom & Gomorrah」takes the form of a pair of punk rocker mixed with S&M clad-individuals, one male and one female. The Male named Sodom has the ability to soften and liquefy objects it touches, causing them to become amorphous like putty or at the very worse turn them into a disassembled pile of gooey organs. Gomorrah, the Female has the abilty to reinforce and harden objects/people she touches. This can range from making people's skin/bones tougher and resistant to damage or petrifying a person and having their bones, skin, joints etc to lock and seize together.

Sodom and Gommorah are unique in that they can become invisible even to stand users but in exchange they cast a shadow that even non-stand users can see when they turn invisible.

>>52837540
There absolutely needs to be a Lot's wife turning to salt thing worked in here with the [Gomorrah] function. This all kicks ass in general.

>>52834386
>Spoiler
Could it be Kars after it was hit by a stand meteorite while it was floating in space after all this time and it's stand mutated his ability to become the ultimate life form by splitting itself off to create more ultimate life forms (stand users) so it could reabsorb them later to gain their abilities and finally be free of it's endless torment in space?

Well one of her victims was a female NPC who had infiltrated the SOV for the party to gain knowledge on the Valentine Triplete's weaknesses. She was going to tell the party the weakness to S&Gs invisibility (That they cast shadows when invisible so that's why she always fights in the dark or has her stands hide in larger shadows.) Helen found out that she was the mole because one of her bodyguards "Paris Simmons" had used his Stand 「Violent Pornography」to cause the NPC to track her and cause her to have a delayed reaction to Gomorrah's ability before she told the party her weakness and then caused a secondary trigger to go off where she exploded while petrified which caused her to be turned into white powder.

Damn. Well done.

>>52837540
>>52838447
Speaking of which this was "Paris Simmons' stats

User: Paris Simmons (Paris Hilton & Gene Simmons)

He dresses up in a similar punk getup to Sodon & Gommorah without the masks when he's in combat but will put on various disguises at Helen's Whims. He's as sadistic and cruel as Helen is but is fanatically loyal to her. He's her offical bodyguard from the SOV but he also plays the part as a supposed "attacker" to Helen so she can play the damsel in distress to trap unsuspecting people, especially since she uses her plastic surgery skills along with S&G to disguise herself and Paris as different people each time they do this.

Stand Name: 「Violent Pornography」

「Violent Pornography」has the ability to set「Triggers & Responses」based on what the user has perceived. For example Paris Simmons as a stand user has seen Helen's Stand Gomorrah petrify someone completely solid, the NPC talking about Helen to him, and has witnessed a grenade explode in his lifetime. He can set these effects as 「Triggers & Responses」on any object he or Violent Pornography has line of sight on. What makes this insidious is that he can also use this ability using line of sight from devices such as computers, cell phones, security cameras up to half a mile away from him or his stand.

This means he can set up a trigger such as "If you talk about Helen to anyone but me, then you will suffer the effects of Gomorrah's Hardening effect" then also chain a trigger "If you are effected by Gomorrah's Hardening Effect you explode like a grenade".

The main benefit is that Violent Pornography is a glass cannon that can be broken with a few solid hits. However it has high speed, damage, and range which can cause it to trap opponents with 「Triggers&Responses」on top of it shooting people with it's bow from long ranges.

Thanks, and yeah I get how you feel.

Been playing Jojo's Bizarre RPG for about a year - using a modified version of the D10 system posted in the main thread. It's pretty fun, awesome to see what players come up with and creating your own enemy stand users as the DM.

Highlights include:

>A player character turning full on murderhobo by starting to literally murdering hobos, going to a church to fight the enemy stand user (the priest, obviously), killing him in the middle of mass, making a scene and then eating shit from the police force who gun him down outside.

>Same player's new character getting shot in the head by an another player since he got annoyed by his shitty Italian accent.

>The party managing to kill the BBEG of the arc by using his own stand, also melting alive Tupac in the process.

>The player who shot the Italian dying, getting revived, getting possessed and then killed again for turning on his party, in about 30 IRL minutes.

>The party leaving the BBEG of campaign right before their fight (basically the equivalent of Crusaders leaving right before the DIO fight)

>A different party confronting the future president of the US, barely beating him in an epic final-boss style fight and then 2/3 of them still dying in the end thanks to a single party member's inablity to carry them a bit to a nearby ambulance.

>A player "lending" his heart with his stand so that a PC wouldn't die of blood loss, only to get knocked out and die without a heart or a way to get it back.

I decided to try to run a Jojo campaign and when somebody asked me if hamon/spin would be allowed, I said no. Only stands.

She sent me a stand called 「The Night Man Cometh」 that gives the user photosynthesis, and lets the user let out bursts of solar energy though his fist to hurt or harm. So, it's basically hamon except it's powered by how much sunlight they can absorb instead of breathing.

The character is a self defense teacher and is noted for smiling constantly and having a warm, affable personality. In other words, he's literally "a master of karate and friendship for everyone."

I don't now whether to kick her out or commend her on the troll and let her get away with it since it is a STAND technically.

>>52846403
as long as her "solar energy" is literally concentrated sunlight and acts as such and isn't hamon I'd say it's all good.

>>52846403
Why would you even consider kicking them out

>>52846403
Huh. I actually designed a "hamon stand" myself. I called it Mr. Brightside and it was the outcome of a lifetime of hamon training and an inability to conduct hamon bodily. It was a Stand that was essentially made of hamon energy, and could affect living things in the same way.

「The Wall」 is a slow, incredibly large, silver armored knight that had massive, detachable tower shields on its wrists. (Similar appearance to pic related, but with a helmet)
It has two abilities:
1. 「The Wall」cannot be affected by mundane force. (Burning, acid, shock, etc. still work)
2. The user's body is able to fight and is prevented from deteriorating until he is 100% dead.
「The Wall」belonged to the father of one of the PCs. He murdered his wife in a domestic dispute and landed himself in prison for life.
The party found out he was granted a stand by the BBEG so he could escape prison and "get revenge on his son." They found 「The Wall」 guarding the doorway to the BBEG's personal office, and the son told his comrades to leave him behind so he could settle the score 1 on 1.
What ensued was a fight that kept the PC in question (who was notably squishy) close to death's door while he used every trick he had to accumulate damage on the nigh-invincible behemoth in front of him.
Over the course of several hours, and a few close encounters with death, the player got watch 「The Wall」 stay in absolute pristine condition as the user's body slowly eroded away, becoming more of a mass of broken flesh and guts than a man. But even 「The Wall」 has its limits, and once the user was torn to shreds, 「The Wall」began to crumble, allowing the PC to launch one final attack and shatter the enemy stand completely. All that remained of the user was his still-beating heart that gradually stopped as 「The Wall」's power faded.

>>52846403
Eh, why not? There was a sun themed stand in Stardust Crusaders.

>>52798658
Every main JoJo past Jotaro's had that though.
「 Stone Free 」 had strings/unraveling, 「 Crazy Diamond 」 had "fixing", even most of the side characters could use their Stands as punch ghosts like 「 The Hand 」 and 「 Diver Down 」. And then there's 「 Foo Fighters 」

Did a one-shot fairly recently with the bizarre adventures ruleset. It went well, though the system itself was a bit confusing with all the d100's. However a newer version came out that basically addressed my complaints, so here's hoping to a proper campaign in the future. The one-shot itself was, (Tl:dr'ed) 1918 Russia during the height of the revolution, the PCs sent in as secret(ish) operatives to take down the actually-not-dead Rasputin using their stands vs his, who had acquired a strange corpse part and used it to bolster his power, seeking to become God. The party stopped him beforehand though through looots of punches and some glorious ass-pulling tactics.

Also, whilst preparing for this before mentioned campaign, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on a stand or two in the making, since I can't show my players of course;
(cont because field too long)

>>52850293
(Possible BBEGs stand, campaign part set in not-too-distant future, so a bits of scifi in there. Stand user is the CEO of a mega-corporation the party is trying to steal from- he is also the cousin of the Jojo in the group and ergo a joestar themselves)
>「Blackened Gold」

>POWER: C
>SPEED: D
>RANGE: D
>DURABILITY: C
>PRECISION: C
>LEARNING: A

When formed and visible / fighting other stands directly,「Blackened Gold」has the appearance of a non-humanoid biological stand that looks like a giant and rather majestic horned lion made of Coal. This stand possesses 3 (known) abilities;
1. The stand user can convert items into their equivalent value in the nearest amount of $100 bills, rounded down. This is done by placing the item into the stand users pockets, at which point this stand will 「liquefy」the asset. Please note that if the item is larger than the pocket initially but can be inserted partially, this power will drag the item into the pocket space with force, shredding as it goes like a blender. A nasty attack this stand user does is to grab an enemy, place their hand / arm in his pocket, and see them dragged into and take out a note or two.
2. 「Compound」. When throwing a stack of bills, this stand can harden the material and place a powerful force on the stack, making it comparable to throwing a very heavy brick.
3. By allowing 「Blackened Gold」to devour at least 1 million dollars in bills as an 「Investment」, the stand user can very temporarily transform the stand into a new form, in which the coal skin of the lion breaks part and it twists about, transforming into a solid gold mechanical humanoid. Whilst affected by 「Investment」, this stands power, speed and durability stats are increased to A. This form only lasts a minute, but this time can be increased by increasing the initial investment fed to the lion, albeit with diminishing returns.

>>52850305
The first ability is fantastic, although the value of an average person is somewhere between $50,000 - $100,000 so that's going to be a very full pocket. Similarly, $1,000,000 in bills is like an entire briefcase of cash if you're working in hundreds. They're both cool abilities, but the physical volumes of cash involved are rather large.

The second ability, meanwhile, is kind of lackluster compared to the other two. I'd have the mass and damage depends on the value of the bills involved. A single $10 wouldn't be much worse than a medium sized rock, a $100 might hit like a brick or a thrown knife, and a stack of $100s could explode like a hand grenade, with the individual bills flying apart like shrapnel.

>>52850305
>>52851036
Oh, and of course the villain should be someone who really doesn't like spending money. They should constantly be complaining about how much a fight is costing them when they're up against a strong opponent.

Villain Stands?

>「Thirteenth Step」
>POWER: C
>SPEED: C
>RANGE: B
>PRECISION: B
>LEARNING: C

「Thirteenth Step」manifests as a humanoid shell composed of spiraling, interlocking mesh. Picture related, with similarly designed limbs and head. Its two abilities, like its form, blend into each other and act together.

Anyone touched by the stand can be affected by the power 「A Perfect Circle」, which makes their mind 'jump backward' a few seconds into the past and repeat time up until their contact with「Thirteenth Step」. The entire experience is illusory, however, and while they can act freely in the 'past' nothing they do will change the present. If 「Thirteenth Step」finds them again in the 'past', though, they can be sent back even further. While 「A Perfect Circle」 only lasts for a few seconds originally, it becomes more and more powerful the further back into the past the victim already is.

While the victim's mind is trapped in the past the stand's second ability -「The Outsider」- takes control of their body in the present. It has full control until the victim finishes re-experiencing time up until their original contact with 「Thirteenth Step」, which could be days or longer if they can't avoid the stand in their flashbacks.

The stand's drawback is that 「A Perfect Circle」and 「The Outsider」 can only affect a single person at a time. If the user wants to control a different victim, the current one immediately snaps back to the present.

Thank you for your commentary.
The amount of bills being tossed about is going to be pretty immense, but I enjoy the idea of using fat stacks tied together with string. The second ability is admittedly pretty weak, but its mostly there as a "minor" ability and I thought the idea of smacking someone upside the head with a stack of bills and it being equivilent to hitting someone with a brick or mallet was hilariously jojo.
Throwing entire briefcases of cash into the lions maw is a little extreme, but again I like the image.
To help out though, I was planning for his corporation to be so monumentally massive in scale that it could have its own currency where one bill equals X dollars. Or just say in the future due to inflation there are $1000 bills or something, because of inflation and such.


The Villain himself is going to be condescending as shit and isn't averse to spending money to make money, but will definitely see the costs and explain that fucking up the parties shit is a "necessary expense" whilst liquefying their allies / zepelli-tier characters to have their "bill" reduced somewhat.

If the campaign I have in mind goes well, this villain will in fact join the party to team up against a worse threat / true big bad. The party is likely 3 people so I'm gonna play around with the 4-man group being the riders of the apocolypse, with this villain being "Conquest"
.

Sure here my campaign's antag's stand.

>「La Vida Loca」
>Destructive Power - D
>Speed - A
>Range - B
>Durability - D
>Precision - B
>Developmental Potential - B

「La Vida Loca」 resembles the upper torso, arms and head of a humanoid, with the midsection tapering to a point. It hovers a few feet above the ground. The stand's face and head consists a single featureless smooth surface with a humanoid mouth. The arms are long, with pointed, grasping fingers and short barbs at the elbows. The entire form of the stand is bichromatic and split down the middle, with the left half white and the right half a dark black.

In combat, the stand does not pose a great physical threat - its fingers are fairly sharp and can be used to claw, but it is relatively frail. The main threat comes from its ability to glide at high speed over a fairly long range to activate its stand ability.

When an object or person is grabbed by the stand, the speed at which it exists is modified - the black left hand drains the target's speed and stores the potential cronologic energy, the right hand can then be similarly used to increase the speed of a target. On a human, this effects the speed at which they think, move and act. When a person is pushed too far in either direction, the world becomes so indecipherable and alien that after the passing of what feels like an eternity, they simply Stop Thinking.

Recently came up with this for a SBR style campaign.

>「Ride The Lightning」
Power [A] - Speed [C] - Range [C]
Durability [B] - Precision [E] - Potential [D]

>Appearance
Manifests as an armored headpiece connected to pauldrons, the headpiece is a hammered metal dome helmet with an executioner's hood to cover the face.
The pauldrons are connected via wooden braces that are screwed into the armor like a ribcage. The Stand has a narrow electrical bushing that runs up the back like a spinal cord.

>Ability
「Ride The Lightning」provides a respectable amount of physical defense against Stand attacks as well as physical attacks from humans.

This Stand draws lightning from the atmosphere towards the area around it's User, colliding with any persons or objects in the vicinity.
In the event that a stray lightning bolt were to hit the User,「Ride The Lightning」would extend its' spine-like bushing down into the ground to divert the current into the ground.

Which system has everyone had the best time using? I'm going to try running a game with the d10 system in a week or two.

I need a basic stand ability, I am following >>52794151
But my biggest issue is just an ability that is not op or under powered as fuck.
Using it for pathfinder.

Here's one that probably wont see the light of day for my campaign until either much later, or in a separate game altogether. Proud of it though.

>「Black Skinhead」
>Destructive Power - B
>Speed - A*
>Range - D
>Durability - C*
>Precision - B
>Developmental Potential - C

「Black Skinhead」 resembles an emaciated humanoid made of a reflective black metal. On top of the emaciated form of it's body are mazelike lattices of translucent blue glass, which form the shape of more developed musculature. It's head is shaped like an armored, featureless skull with the upper head removed, and a clear glass maze reminiscent of a brain forming the cap of the skull. It's eyes are angular black lenses with the faint glow of a grill beneath them.

In combat this stand is a basic, if not particularly impressive punchghost. However it is much faster than it appears, moving with a ponderous, lethargic lurch when not striking.

「Black Skinhead」's power is where it becomes dangerous. It has the ability to selectively edit itself from time, for a period of up to six seconds. Whenever it does this, it must spend an equal amount of time in the current timeline before it can edit itself out again. This is best described with an example.
>「Black Skinhead」 enters the room.
>Someone shoots it, it dies.
>「Black Skinhead」 enters the room. Everyone is confused. Someone shoots it again.
>「Black Skinhead」 enters the room.
「Black Skinhead」's editing only effects itself, leaving the rest of the timeline untouched.

It's stand user is literally Kanye West, but with stand powers. Because let's face it, if Kanye had a stand, he'd be a supervillain.

Basically I tried to make reverse-King Crimson and ended up with Cuil Theory the stand.

>>52857901
Oh yeah, the asterisks are to represent that although it's not actually very durable or super fast, the time editing lets it cheat them really hard.

>>52843858
Shit everywhere.

>>52823500
for a given value of heat vision...
>「Hot in Here」
this stand appears as a simple crystal ball.
it's ability is to grow and stretch in size to the point where it can cover a large city and heat up the area inside of it, though the stand user much be inside of it once it reaches the size of a man, how fast it heats up depends on the size.
the fight "starts" during a 3 week long heat wave and becomes a race against time before every one in the city dies, while have to dealing with heat stroke and dehydration.
once found the stand user will fight back by shrinking the ball into the size of thumbnail and using to cut anything in it's path

「Seven Nation Army」

127KB, 800x1186px

Just designed this for some guy on /co/. Thought it'd work well in a team setting.

「Brother in Arms」 is a long range stand, no stronger than a normal man, but if it enters the range of another stand it will slowly evolve to match that stand's stats and abilities the longer it stays within range, coming to match them after about 10 minutes, even if the other stand is unaware it is there. Upon leaving a stand's range it will revert back to normal at the same speed. It may only copy the stats of one stand at a time.

>>52846403
sounds suitably different enough. I guess it depends on how the "solar energy" channeling works.

Like say, transmitting solar energy into water to make it "boil" instead of 'vibrate'.

Hell you can have them punch sunlight into dying plants, or use their hands as a flashlight in darkness.

How do you guys do Swarm stands?

>>52861680
Currently using one in the campaign I'm playing in
In the system our group uses, you have a movement pool you use to move your dudes individually, and you can move them all at once if they're clumped together. The stand's total health is split up evenly amongst the dudes.
I'd have to know about the system you're using to give you a better answer.

>>52820437
「Around The World」
The stand can touch an object and stop its momentum relative to the rotation of the Earth
So if it touched a car that car would shoot off toward the horizon at 1,036mph until it impacts with something
So it is basically a cannon that only shoots in one direction

So how do you guys feel about Stands and Persona existing at the same time in a setting?

In my campaign there's a small group of Persona users, and right now I play off Persona as being Stands as well, but with sentience and the capability of being hurt by things other than Stands in exchange for more versatile abilities. Persona can also actively decide whether or not non Stand users can see them.

If you guys want I can track down Persona I made as an example of what I mean.

Go on...

>>52870413
So I don't have all four done up yet, and the two I have are on the higher end of the bullshit powers spectrum, but here's one for the leader of one of my antagonist groups:

Persona Name: Nike
Power Level: High
Persona Appearance: Nike is said to be the Greek interpretation of Jehovah's angels, or perhaps the inspiration for their appearance in Christian and Catholic lore. She is a beautiful woman with wings adorned in the feathers of a dove coming out her back and a radiant, white dress; and atop her head rests a wreath of laurel leaves.

Stats: (E-A)
Power: E
Speed: B
Range: D
Durability: A
Accuracy: A
Learning: D

Abilities

Persona: 2
Persona, unlike Stands, have a prominent physical presence in their environment. This includes having their own magnetic field, heat signature, and may also appear to non Stand Users along their own terms. However, in exchange, Persona can be injured by supernatural effects beyond other Stands -- such as Hamon, Rotation, and potentially vampyric powers. Additionally, all Persona are sentient.

Tarot; Strength: 6
Nike is of the Strength Arcana. Nike grows in power with the user’s convictions. She will also guide and protect her user’s willpower, offering them both physical and mental fortitude in so long as they remain true to their goals and ideals.

Victory is Her Name: 15
The Goddess Nike is the bringer of Victory and it is She who decided the winners and losers on the field of battle. Her power is that to deny all harm to her user, including being able to entirely negate many Stand powers. With Her at one’s side, defeat is inevitable for those who challenge Nike’s summoner.

>>52870413

And here's the one for my player, which has a bit of a story attached to why he got weeb sun woof even though we agreed on something different originally.

Persona Name: Amaterasu
Power Level: Fabulous
Persona Appearance: A pure white wolf-akita hybrid with red paint strokes surrounding her body. The paint strokes, when viewed from above Amaterasu, make up the Japanese kanji for wolf in the form of traditional Japanese calligraphy.

Stats: (E-A)
Power: B
Speed: B
Range: D
Durability: B
Accuracy: A
Learning: D

Abilities

Persona: 2
See >>52871875

Tarot; Empress: 6
Amaterasu is of the Empress Arcana. When her summoner is under any form of stress -- be it physical, emotional, or mental -- she will grow in power so long as she continues to protect her summoner.

Heavenly Regalia: 23-point total
When summon under Empress Amaterasu takes the form of her Okami aspect, being summoned under a wolf-akita hybrid to protect her summoner. In this form she has control over her sacred artifacts, each of them having their own ability.
Sword (8): The Kusanagi no Tsurugi can cut through energy and destroy its source just as it cut through the grass that nearly burned down the Japanese capital. When used on Stands and fellow Persona it will damage them normally.
Mirror (4): The Yata no Kagami reflects the truth of all things reflected on its surface. It may also reflect and focus sunlight onto specific targets, as well as allow non Stand users to see Stands in its reflection.
Jewel (10): The Yasakani no Magatama is a collection of five hundred beads that can be adorned around Amaterasu’s neck. She may bite into one of the beads, temporarily consuming it, to either breath life into inanimate objects or heal others.
Wielding (1): She may telepathically control them up to one meter away from herself. However Amaterasu may only have one out at a time.

Ellie is easy mode in P1 and I originally made Nike's user a shameless copy of her before deciding to make it a villain's Persona to piss off my players.

Gotta have best girl somehow.
