JumpChain CYOA Thread #1571: Plotting and Scheming Edition

/jc/, how good are your planning abilities?

382 replies last thread... is /jc/ dying?

If you keep enough plans going at once, then even if 99% of them fail you can just claim they were actually part of the 1% that did work.

>>53926723

So, if I wanted to create my own Ebon dragon companion, where should I start? Not the actual Ebon Dragon, because I want a manipulative cocky backstabbing disappearing shadow dragon, but not one that will backstab me. Or stab me in anyway.

Shadow realm and get a red eyes black dragon companion.

>>53926761
The jump for this doesn't have any planning perks though.

>>53926784
Get a Kami companion in Kamigawa, and give it the Dragon, Shadows, and Swamp (for black mana) Symbolic Links.

Then add imports in jumps with shadow options to taste. Probably not Infernals, because Fiends would eventually take too much after Ebby himself.

Well honed by now to know that no plan survives first contact with actual problems, unless said planner brute forces causality. The wise mastermind studies, strategises, steers-and improvises where necessary. Actual plans tend to get in the way when you least want them to.

>>53926735
Counterpoint: Having too many plans runs the risk of them planning at cross purposes, such that your secret ninja league assassinate your men in black under the shapeshifting president demon you planted in the White House two days and three proxies ago's orders-because HE mistook them for the actual people you were conspiring against.

Seras aka Police Girl. She has big boobs so she'll be a blast to hug.

Are there any planning perks that scale in effectiveness with how long you plan?

>>53927164
Worm sort of has one in Compounded Calculation, though that's more scaling with the complexity of your plan

>>53926784
This is a bad plan. Trust me I know all about bad plans

>>53927164
You could use Real Eater on The Left Hand from DA:I to turn it into a scaling planning ability for whatever it is you need it for, since The Left Hand is already a scaling planning Perk that works on scheming, you could change it from plotting into something like designing.

The simple solution would be getting a companion with an unbreakable bond or other form of loyalty. For example an imported operator form Mega Man Battle Network or a Certain Scientific Railgun Misaka. Then import them as an Infernal and get them to learn Ebon Dragon Cosmic Principle. This would result in them becoming an Ebon Dragon clone that unlike the original has a concept of loyalty and trustworthiness. Just one that's probably limited to the jumper.

If you don't think the unbreakable bond will be enough you could just create custom charms that have the side effect of decreasing their chances of betraying you.

However the amusing option is to companion the actual Ebon Dragon, but not the one from Exalted. No you want the one from the Old World of Darkness (which might be the far future of Exalted) that happens to be not as pointless spiteful. This would work best if done before taking Exalted. Why? Because having a possibly from the future not as pointlessly spiiteful free version of the Ebon Dragon showing up in Exalted would be hilarious.

Alternatively get a dragon companion, have them learn magic that's good for stealth and infiltration, and have them learn plotting and planning skills.

I would like to say that I'm good at super complex multi-layered plans, and I've probably got enough perks so that is the case, but in practice I prefer to just form several different half-baked plan at once and then see if any of them fly.
When I'm actually serious, my "plans" tend to be extremely direct and resemble enough of a hammer that they can barely be called plans.

>>53927451
If I remember right, oWoD Ebon Dragon is more like a mostly benevolent protector deity who cursed his followers for being monstrous cunts (which just encouraged them to continue course because it's the WoD.)

>>53927451
The WoD is only the future of Exalted in 1st Edition, and the Ebon Dragon wasn't pointless spiteful there.

So, they're either both not pointlessly spiteful, or they have nothing to do with one another. Depending on which edition's lore you're going with.

>>53927114
>Acquire a mini-Ebon Dragon in Infernals, then import him as a demon or god of lies/pride/treachery/obfuscation in Marvel, but not before becoming mastering the D in Duel Monsters.

That kinda goes against the whole 'I don't want the actual Ebon Dragon'.

>>53927534
It's very much not the actual Ebon Dragon though, it's a weirdo demon the real thing explicitly doesn't want to be associated with

>>53926783
does anyone have a link to back when people decided to waifu her originally?

>>53927572
What is the point of asking this?

>>53927263
So, since you say it's a bad plan, it must be a good plan, right?

>>53927128
So, since there is no exact date for our entry, has anyone fanwanked that they took Alucard's place on converting Seras into a Vampire?

>>53927568
Don't they have the same personality? Maybe it doesn't has the actual 'themes' of EBD in it, but letting it grow into one might not be the best idea if I you want to avoid being eventually betrayed by it.

>>53927597
Iirc, there were threads with that same subject. And it was fairly early. Like back when the first version was released.

What kind of child are you during your pre-Jump background years?

>>53927492

To be (un)fair while that's true their first set of minions were what seem to be super energy vampires. Meanwhile the second set are made by giving them a power that might remove their chance for an even better power up.

>>53927504

I said 'might be' because I wasn't completely sure if it still applied, or if it ever applied beyond 'lets add references because we can'.

Although technically that just means that if the OWoD had Exalted in it's pre-retcon past it would have been the timeline of the first edition version.

They also kind of wouldn't have anything to do with each other directly do to alternate timelines.

>>53927650
Their first set of minions only became vampires when they started torturing, eating mortals, and generally doing everything debased. Idea was that maybe being cursed would convince them to seek repentance, but nope, they just got worse.

Do we have magic/psychic perks that can use communication devices to bypass distance? Like attacking or hypnotizing through a tv screen, or using a crystal ball to cast spells over where you look.

>>53927673

Wasn't it that they were given the ability to absorb chi, a bunch of things telling them "You could use that ability on people", and most of them deciding they should totally do that?

>>53927789
Maybe some cross between magitech and technopathy? Some rules lawyering one the exact definition of 'line of sight'?

>>53927789
There's actually something for exactly that in Gargoyles. That Jump's technomagic perk explicitly gives an example of something like that, casting spells through the radio or something.

>>53927789

Arcane Interface from Storm Hawks and Technosorcery from Gargoyles.

Hey OAA, is Dragon going to be on offer as a race for WoW, or are you sticking with the more "mortal" races?

Besides Sonichu, /co/co/s Bizarre Adventure, Undocumented Features, and Protectors of the Plot Continuum, do we have any other Jumps where the setting is just a mashup of other preexisting settings?

>>53927883
Smash Bros?

>>53927883
Inheritance Cycle.

>>53927873
Dragons are mortal now. Also infertile.

>>53927936
I'm sure a Jumper could fix the infertile bit. There's gotta be a perk for that somewhere.

>>53928006
Receptive doves from greek myth.

>>53928020
The problem with that is that the dragons can only be impregnated by you, not anyone else. So you'd have to fuck every dragon to make them have kids, and then your kids could only breed if you fucked them. See the issue?

>>53927789
QQ's Generic Mind Control jump has Infectious Control, which lets you bake control effects into things, including recordings. They don't even need to watch your show live, so you can do things like make a viral video give viewers the suggestion to call you if they have some desirable trait, and then you hit them with a personalized command through the phone. There is a effectiveness penalty applied, though.

>>53927936
Not infertile. Mortal, yes. We actually save a shit-ton of a blue dragon's recently-born whelps in Azsuna.

>>53927873
Right now, sticking with mortal races. However, I have been debating on adding a Dragonid option to the Racial Modifier (kinda like Titan-Forged in that regard), reflecting how the Dragonmaw Clan, fel orcs, and the other Twilight's Hammer created draconic hybrid beings, as well as the existence of the Dragonspawn.

>>53928020
>>53928006
Well that was fast.

>>53928046
Guess you just now got around to posting bait.

>>53928047
>Not infertile. Mortal, yes. We actually save a shit-ton of a blue dragon's recently-born whelps in Azsuna.
Did you actually play that quest? The entire point of it was that these are the last whelps that will ever be born. They're the Last of the Last.

>>53928055
If I was trying to bait I wouldn't have bothered with spoilers, friendo.

>>53928045
No, because all my kids would have receptive doves as well thanks to discworld genetics. My children would be able to impregnate literally anyone or anything.

>>53928047

>>53928064
Well I guess that explains dnd.

>>53928110
What about humans? They can mate with anything in DnD too.

These two facts together are why it's automatically assumed that humans have some level of draconic ancestry. Silver Dragons and Humans really like each other.

>>53928127
So dragon-human relations are like species incest?

>>53928127
Maybe that is why? So many silver dragons screwing humans because they are humanboos. Then again Iirc most sorcerers have red dragon blood somewhere along the line. There is even an entire class devoted to using your red dragon blood to become half/fully dragon.

>>53928085
You get prismatic eyes and hair to reflect your status as a bad OC.

>>53928172
Only as much as any human relationship is incest, due to all humans being related on some level.

Hell the human species is one of the most inbred out there because of a relatively recent extinction event that left, I think it was around ten thousand people in the world. About the only animal more inbred is the cheetah because they went through the same thing but didn't spread out so much.

>>53928198
Which is funny, because Red Dragons aren't noted for breeding with mortals very often. Of the Chromatic Dragons, the Blues are described as the ones that get along with mortals best.

>>53928062
And my point is, those whelps were still all born after the Cataclysm, after WoD even if the timeline's right about the time-skip, but that's speculation for another time, meaning that even if they are the 'last of the last,' there was enough of whatever bullshit essence to let them hold out that long that all you need is a concentrated magical effort to look into it.

Also getting real tired of the Deathwing Prophecy bullshit, can't ya tell? The fuck kind of asspull was that that the Aspects were made specifically to fight one of their own in the future that was only possible because said Aspect was made in the first place.

>>53928085
Son.

You got a bad case of the Sue-brains.

>>53928243
Hey, maybe you can fix it through something, but my point was just that, by the lore, dragons are all infertile now. I don't like it any more than you that they're killing off the aspects and dragons in general for cheap drama.

>>53928261
Aight, fair enough.

I CAN'T EVEN YELL AT METZEN ANYMORE SINCE HE RETIRED.

>>53928261
This of course means that they'll fix it eventually, because it would make for a decent questline.

>>53928243
Reminder that if Violet, the Blue-Green, Gold, Silver, and Copper Proto-Dragons had been given an Aspect too, things would be different around here.

That said, Proto-Dragon mount? Those things are still around apparently. Devilsaurs are cool, but these are Devilsaurs with wings.

>>53928311
Oh hey, I forgot one, Silver-Green.

11 Aspects would fix everything!

>"Okay so we just went on an epic quest to restore your fertility, but how do we actually know it worked."
>"Well I mean, we do need to give you your quest reward after all."
>ACHIEVEMENT GET

>>53928062
My understanding is that they're the last blur whelps from the former Aspect. He's no longer immortal, so he might be infertile now. As a long lived species they're probably only able to have children once in awhile naturally. So their species isn't going to die but they're no longer going to be quite numerous as they were.

>>53928311
Warriors get a Protodrake Class mount. Which imho is a copt out. They should've gotten a Storm Dragon. Those things are awesome.

>>53928047

There's a perk in Hearts of Iron that literally makes your plans, all of them, more effective the more encompassing and complex they are. The effect basically means that if you plan for the conquest of the world, the plan will always be better than a plan to merely conquer Europe.

>>53928467
Because technically, Titanforged refers to the Aesir and the Vanir, the stone- and metal-crafted soldiers and beings who'd eventually, via curse-of-flesh-shittery, become Dwarves, Vrykul, that kind of thing.

>>53928483
OA previewed a canon companion option a while back, had this listed:

> 300 CP: Now we get above the strength of mortals - Dragons, Elementals, Giants, and Spirits. Beings like Rheastrasza, Baleroc, Princess Theradras, or similar. These are the ones it takes organized groups of strong adventurers to bring down, and are capable of great destruction and change.

So Chromie'd be 300 CP.

>>53928534

>>53928578

>>53928198
>>53928217


If you're referring to the Dragon Disciple prestige class that lets you pick any dragon type to become a half dragon of. It's also kind of really not worth it at all.

I however don't remember anything about a class for becoming an actual dragon, but it does seem like something that could occur.

>>53928597
The fuck you talking about? Gnomes are cute! CUTE!

>>53928047

>>53928582
And her name is Chromie? Does she ever get referred to as Chromie the Gnomie?

>>53928209
Yeah, IIRC, that's why humans are so susceptible to the downsides of inbreeding. I think most other species can get away with several extra generations of it than humans can and be better off.

>>53928633
Shortstacks are fine, that's just terrible.

>>53928675
Yes.

And you, the adventurer, are her homie.

Now here's the funny thing. Chromie's dragon name is Chronormu. -ormu is the masculine suffix for bronze dragons, while -ormi is actually the feminine suffix.

>>53928691
That is correct, yes, we have a ridiculously small gene pool. That's why I always laugh at soft sci-fi that extols humanity for being genetically diverse. No we aren't, Mordin. If we're genetically diverse by the standards of the rest of the galaxy, just...fuck, how inbred are you?

Is that even possible? The FR jump charges 100 CP per challenge rating of the race, right?
They are challenge rating 32.

I wonder, are there any inventories with literally bottomless capacity and the ability to store anything?

Because learning to reflexively put everything touching you (or even just near you) into inventory wound be like being a sphere of annihilation, but better.

>>53928943

Speaking of siring vamps, is there any way to restore virginity in companions so I can make them true vamps? Does importing them young enough to have never had sex work?

Assuming an Infernal threw themselves into the Wyld, what would be their chances of survival and finding their way back to Creation? If they went there to hide after becoming a Devil Tiger, how likely would they be able to avoid pursuit? What is there to do or find in the Wyld, anything useful?

Yeah, there's no drawback limit so you could take Umbral Blot pretty easily.

Heh. They get the ability to at-will teleport without range limit, go ethereal whenever they want, and planeshift around too.

It's not even magic or supernatural, since it's an Extraordinary ability described as space-warping. Keeps working perfectly fine under antimagic.

Fun.


Not sure about any inventory that could do that though. I don't think we have any like that.

>>53926384
So if, for whatever reason, you killed a Yozi and then killed the resulting Neverborn permanently, would you lose access to the relevant branch of Charms in its entirety?

>>53928046
Link?

>>53929059
Surviving the Wyld is easy. Shaping defenses protect against the corruption of chaos perfectly, and Infernals have several charms to survive in bizarre environments. Dealing with the Raksha could get nasty if you run into any Unshaped or ishvara or that third type of super-Raksha whose name I can't remember, but even powerful examples of normal Raksha can't pose a threat to Exalted. Finding your way back to Creation wouldn't be hard, as a place of stability and fixed shape it stands out from the Wyld easily. Losing pursuers would be viable, though, you can always head deeper into chaos. As for what to do there, you can vision quest for information, acquire all sorts of rare crafting ingredients, carve out your own little pocket reality in the middle of chaos, and enslave raksha and turn their organs into various useful gadgets. Don't worry about that, if you empathize with the raksha for some insane reason. They can operate just fine with their organs externalized and turned into artifacts or oneiromancies or behemoths.

>>53926384
>Fetich death as a drastic example would mean you swap out most of your Charms for new equivalents
Would that apply to Permanent Charms as well? Seems like that'd be rather... unpleasant.

Is WoW-posting going to be the new Fate-, Worm-, and Exalted-posting?

>>53929242
fuck I hope not.

It's somehow even more fucking annoying.

>>53929128
You say that, but there's nothing preventing a jumper who got laid from getting vamped by buying the perk, even drop-ins. Which means losing virginity must be limited to the universe you're in.

>>53929242
No, there's not enough powerwanking for that. Yet, anyway.

>>53929242
God, I hope not. At least those have interesting setting details and mechanics to differentiate themselves. WoW is just shitty generic fantasy, with manufactured outrage at the actions of retarded characters (gee, who would've guessed someone with a history of screwing things up would screw things up) and waifu-shit.

Depends on what Charms they have and how deep into the Wyld they go.

If you go all the way into Pure Chaos, you'd better have the good Shaping defense charms though. And a way to deal with Hannya (predatory proto-Unshaped maelstroms of Wyld energy).

This is a pretty good summary too >>53929205

Umbral Bolts get even more hilarious when you consider that their fluff has a reference to a much older version of the Dungeons and Dragons cosmos that does not fit with the current cosmology at all.

Specifically it says they were the messangers of the Old Ones. Meanwhile in older editions Old Ones were things that created the multiverse, and set up a system for mortals to ascend to immortality becoming god-like beings. Followed by a system for immortals becoming new Old Ones.

>>53929428

That's fair. I just really like toku with some of its hammy (and occasionally nuanced) j-drama. I know the rubber suits, ham acting, and weird special effects aren't for everyone and probably aren't that great in terms of quality.

Then again, I'm someone who can't stand most live-action dramas made in the US, so maybe I'm not allowed to judge? Anyways, I get what ya mean. No worries.

>>53929485
Which version?

>>53929428

The She Who Lives In Her Name pic reminded me of something I was curious about.

I remembered that do to the custom charm limit Devil Tigers can't directly upgrade The Spirit of the Living World, and had to find ways to improve their inner world directly. Then I had a thought.

Is their anything that would prevent a Devil Tiger from bypassing the limits of the The Spirit of the Living Worlds ability to shape their inner world by just using the actual Constructive Convergence of Principles charm instead of the built in effect?

>Probably, yeah? It's mentioned that becoming a Neverborn would have a catastrophic effect on their Charms...

Also not them, but I always assumed that the normally their charms all go away if the Primordial stops being around were just for normal things like akuma and lintha. Since it's also mentioned that part of the intent of Infernals is to preserve the charms of the Yozi they gained them from, and the fact that Infernals can also learn charms of Primordials that don't actually exist at all.

>>53929637
IIRC Infernals prevent Yozis from dying at all. They can be remade, reshaped, experience fetich death, but they can't become Neverborn anymore because of you.

>>53929428
I want to get the jumpmaker of the Infernals jump's interpretation of the lore, what are the Primordials relative to Raksha and where do they come from?

>>53927789
Well Mushoku Tensei has something "kinda" like that in the form of Mystic Eyes. The key being it lets you combine mystic eyes for various effects and lets you combine with other "eyes" from other Jumps.

So I'm certain somewhere in the multitude of Jumps we have a "Tele-vision" or something that lets you see through communication devices then combine that with a Mystical Eye and that with some other eye like maybe something from Naruto that can kill people.

Takes a little work but it combos out nicely.

>>53927789
Clover has said that the SFX capstone in Razzle Dazzle combined with Ventriloquism can be used to cast spells through a television, but that jump is largely treated like TVD in terms of validity.

>>53929624

From what I remember all that's really known about the Old Ones directly is is that they made the multiverse, and that you can ascend to being one.

So not sure how mythos they are. Although immortals are fourth dimensional beings, but that's not even fully thought the ascension process, and the multiverse at the time had five dimensions. So maybe.

Also on a side not the process it complicated. First you have to gain enough capabilities to qualify for trying to become an Immortal, and succeed at doing so for one of the four available paths. Then you have to reach the top of the immortal hierarchy for that path. Then you have to reincarnate without your memories or power and do it again for a different path. At which point you ascend to being an Old One and the rules at this point are "You won."


>>53929634

The Mystara setting which was the default setting for one of the really really early versions of D&D. It doesn't fit with the current setting, but there are still a few references.

>>53929871
Not impossible to get a Mystara jump.

>>53929680

There's also the possibility that the Infernals prevent Yozi from dying at all isn't that it keeps them from being a Neverborn, but that a Yozi can be 'reborn' from an Infernal using Yozi Cosmic Principle.

This is after all the setting where if you inherit someones super weapon people act as if you are that person reborn. You know despite the only connection being that you both owned the same portable super weapon.

Well... Mostly, I suppose? They'd still give you the basic benefits of being Exalted, and allow you to learn martial arts Charms?

And if you'd gone Devil Tiger before that point, you'd keep that.

>>53929552
Exalted: Fair Folk, as well as updating Infernals a little.

It's... still very slow right now. But my study year's ending right about now, so I should have more time to work on it soon.

>>53929555
Nah, you can learn them in other settings just fine.

Akuma probably would be unable, I'd guess? But other Yozi adapt the Charms of their peers, they don't take the exact charms, and likely retain access even if the other Yozi dies. It's mentioned that some of the Yozi might retain adapted Mardukth (the primordial, not me) Charms somewhere.

>>53929637
Nope, other than needing to get inside there... though you might need the Essence 7 upgrade of the CCoP to shape your Inner World? Might just count as inside the Demon Realm though, in which case you wouldn't need that.

>Also not them, but I always assumed that...
The preserving of their Charms doesn't mean the Charms stay the same, as far as I'm aware. Just that even if the Yozi experiences Fetich death, they don't diminish in power like they did when they were turned into the Yozi.

Well, there's also this >>53929680, which was mentioned to be calculated by SWLiHN. But that's contradicted by the Ebon Dragon's ability to die and become the Dragon That Was in Return of the Scarlet Empress.

>>53929691
It's deliberately left vague. There's no real canon answer to that.

What we do know is that both come from the Wyld, and that they're ancient enemies. To the point that Creation was originally built as a fortress against the Unshaped, so that the Primordials could rest there.

So I'm working my way through Light of Terra, and I'm on DLC3 (A Grand Day Out aka Road Trip with Magnus the Red), and I've been trying to research the significance and fluff of each of the psyker disciplines.

So I'm at a loss when it comes to Pyromancy. In the game proper, the consensus seems to be 'good only for dealing with infantry, and there are better options for that' but between the fluff for the Burning Princess (who is Alpha+, and therefore not really a basis for comparison) and the Holocaust skill there seems to be an implication that the perk of Pyromancy is that at high levels you wield the Concept of Fire and can burn multiple dimensions and/or attack immaterial things in general -- also Pyromancy might be one of the few ways to kill warp entities at all, instead of just banishing them?

>Burning Princess: "...able to focus her abilities with pinpoint accuracy to char a hole through warship armour..."
>Holocaust: "The flames of a Holocaust burn across dimensions, affecting the entities of the immaterium as well as material beings. ... Those slain by Holocaust are killed forever."

Alternatively, my take away is that Holocaust is the only Pyromancy skill worth a damn, since it hits the material, immaterial, bypasses toughness, bypasses armor, and hits everything in a 6m radius. (On the minus side, when it says 'hits everything' that includes the caster.)

Anyone else have more info or advice to share about Pyromancy, and/or the other psyker disciplines?

>>53930019
That too, yes.

They'd even mostly right be right, because one of the Cosmic Principle Charm gives you all the memories of any being who ever had that Charm. And the untold aeons of Primordial's lifespan is pretty much inevitably going to overwhelm even the oldest Infernals.

>>53929951

True. Although someone else would have to do so. While I find the cosmology interesting I also know that I don't know enough about the setting to even try. Meanwhile what I do know is enough to know that it would probably be way too complicated for me. Especially since I haven't made any jumps.

Although it might require a two part thing do to the whole Immortality path stuff in addition to the normal stuff.

>>53930154

That's pretty much it.

You can probably work it around to manipulating broader categories of energy - making things cold by dumping its heat somewhere else, deflecting lasers, etc - or with more precise and focused assaults such as plasma-needles and making blood boil.

Might be able to burn a hole into the Warp, like a more violent version of the TK ability, to make a flaming portal.

>>53930154
This your first experience with fluff and mechanics separation?

>>53930261
Ishvara is a political designation, not a mechanical thing.

If you want to fuck up other Raksha, just go out and learn God-Monster Style.

>>53930230
Perk to have mastered God-Monster Style, please, and to be able to use the capstone once per Jump without it, actually, y'know. Killing you.

And one to be able to metamorphisize into an Unshaped Court without death of your identity?

Also, being a Raksha means the Warehouse is basically living space only, since all Raksha can use evocations to store a literally infinite amount of stuff in their pattern. With no upkeep cost.

Happy, happy days!

>>53930364
>Ishvara is a political designation, not a mechanical thing
Aren't they supposed to actually be way stronger than even theoretical Essence 10 Raksha though?

>>53930364
>being a Raksha means the Warehouse is basically living space only

Congrats on catching up with the rest of us, exalted-fags. There's been ways to do that for a while now.

>>53930417
The thing about Ishvara is less that they're strong, and more that there's a ton of them and they all mindlessly seek to eat other shaped raksha like packs of wolves.

>>53930336
Oh, I know that any fears of the Burning Princess doesn't apply to the Pyromancy discipline -- she's an Alpha-plus, therefore lolololol.

The thing is that a lot of the Pyromancy skills are underwhelming, and lack the same versatility and creativity that other disciplines have, so I was wondering if I missed something. Holocaust's crunch does, however, suggest some broad, unique utility to be able to strike at the immaterial and Warp that the other disciplines appear to lack, so I thought it was starting to make sense why it exists at all.

I also honestly haven't seen that much pyromancy fluff, and have been sticking to crunch. Anything I should search for?

>>53930100

>Nope, other than needing to get inside there... though you might need the Essence 7 upgrade of the CCoP to shape your Inner World? Might just count as inside the Demon Realm though, in which case you wouldn't need that.

That reminds me of something else. Would a variant of Cecelynes connection to places of desolation thing be a valid charm for making paths to your Inner World, or is that not actually an ability of hers?

>Well, there's also this >>53929680, which was mentioned to be calculated by SWLiHN. But that's contradicted by the Ebon Dragon's ability to die and become the Dragon That Was in Return of the Scarlet Empress.

SWLIHN is also the Yozi best known for hating stuff like 'things have wills of their own', and that's willing to join whoever in charge. It's entirely plausible that she just went "This will keep us around. The Neverborn stuff isn't important."

Also didn't that book also have the possibility of a new Ebon Dragon appearing?

>>53930230

Yep. Like the only thing making them wrong is the Neverborn or new Primordial, but that still doesn't remove the old one being their.

Although the 'gives you all the memories of any being who ever had that Charm' has me wondering what happens if multiple copies

Like do the Yozi Clones share memories like a sort of weird telepathic network, or are the memories just all stored until someone else learns it?

>>53930440
That's the Hannya. Ishvara are things like Balor and the Fomorian.

>Primordial stops being around were just for normal things like akuma and lintha
Do you have a reference that the Lintha charms changed then kimberry underwent fetich death?
Because I thought them having kimberry charms from before she was the acid sea was why the ancient Lintha couldn't be remade as they were my Kimberry once the Exalted host killed them all after the surrender. They kept the old charms up until the end.

>>53930507
Wait, so the Fair Folk's shit is themed after Celtic mythos?

Or is that just those two in particular?

>>53930545
No, Ishvara are when regular Raksha do that, not Hannya.

>>53930545
Yeah, but it does make a qualitative difference, such that an Ishvara is just more powerful than any Raksha could ever be otherwise.

>>53930576
It's mostly Hindu, with a fairytale layer on top. Some celtic stuff there in the names, but it's not very widespread, I think.

>>53930576
The Fair Folk are themed after a weird mix of Hindu, Buddhist and Celtic mythology. Also some tarot stuff, that's what the Graces are named after.

>>53930574

Nope. I just remembered that it would be an easy explanation for stuff like 'the charms change for most users' and 'Infernals preserve the charms'.

Although if the Lintha still have Kimberry's original charms that would imply that a yozi's charms can remain past their end them.

>>53928633
Any progress on Supergirl?

>>53930574
The Lintha don't actually have Kimbery's charms though. They have their own, which are Spirit Charms modelled after Kimbery's themes.

The reason they couldn't be restored is because they're literally Kimbery's children, and she can't have children anymore now that she's a Yozi. She was sterilized.

>Probably, yeah? It's mentioned that becoming a Neverborn would have a catastrophic effect on their Charms...
Site? Because it mentions taking the E10 charms to resurrect a dead Yozi, which would not be possible to those charms went away.

What it seems happens is the potential for the charms exist, but the primordial who opened those charms to the Green Sun princes is a different neverborn now. Just because he doesn't have access to those charms in no way revokes the Green Sun Princes access.

Even if SHLiHN became something else, SHLiHN's charmset is open to the Green Sin Princes even if there is no SHLiHN embodying those charms. And the hypothetical potential for their to be one or more SHLiHNs existing in the future by a e10 Green Sun Prince taking the final 'You are SHLiHN' exists.

>>53930937
Manual of Exalted Power: Infernals, pg.102

>Much as they might wish otherwise, the Yozis can’t take back the power they bestow. The use of a Yozi’s Charms in no way depends on the cooperation of that being, though fetich death radically transforms and replaces their Charms with more appropriate effects for most wielders. The Principle of Hierarchy has definitively calculated that Green Sun Prince Exaltations would preserve a dead Yozi’s Charms intact, warding that titan from suffering final death as a Neverborn or suffering net power loss as a result of fetich death so long as a single Green Sun Prince lives to preserve the seed of her former self. True death into a Neverborn would certainly have catastrophic implications on a slain titan’s Charms that the Yozis do not understand or want to discover. Yozis are permanently immune to harm from their own Charms, but they can and do hurt one another. However, Yozi Charms can’t kill their own kind past fetich death. Only the Chosen of the gods are so monstrous.

Granted, that's kind of ambiguous. Wording like "replaces their Charms...for most wielders" or "implications...that the Yozis do not understand or want to discover" makes it unclear what would actually happen to an Infernal.

Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the thread will no longer need us: no need for the shitposter, or the anon to pull the trigger. I have to drag out the shitposter inside me, build a better future. That's what I— what we will leave as our legacy. Another mission, right Anon?

Yes, actually. Can't remember the name, but there was a short trilogy crossover between Greek and Egyptian.

re: Symbiote, I do note that Mind Like A Steel Trap and Berzerker OS have the same cost... and one of them lets you learn at 3x normal speed, and the other one gives you x25,000 human intelligence.

Bit of a thing, there.

There'll be a perk based on them, which'll get you a leg up on reaching that. But you'll still have to get there yourself.

>>53930267
Right...

>>53930364
I'll probably have a perk for the Shaping Stances, yes. Not quite sure on letting you use it without dying, since the whole point of the Charm is dying spectacularly...

Maybe. I'm still considering letting you start as an Unshaped, but I don't really see a reason to include a perk changing how going through the Gateway of Sundraprisha works.

True.

Glad you're excited.

>>53930497
>That reminds me of something else. Would a variant of Cecelynes connection to places of desolation thing be a valid charm for making paths to your Inner World, or is that not actually an ability of hers?
Probably, yes.

>Also didn't that book also have the possibility of a new Ebon Dragon appearing?
Hm, true. Upon re-reading Return of the Scarlet Empress, it appears that a Neverborn's Charms still exist, though they themselves don't seem to have access to them.

So an Infernal should be able to keep them.

>Like do the Yozi Clones share memories like a sort of weird telepathic network, or are the memories just all stored until someone else learns it?
I'm going to guess the former. From the outside, it might not even look like there's two different Yozi.

Well, this >>53931033

No, Devil Tigers can't adapt Charms like that. But see above.

So, assuming that I had only jumped Exalted jumps with minimum to no drawbacks, and I had 8 companions (Full circle + extras), what would be my chances of taking over The Realm? The Creation?

The order could be: Dragonblooded -> Siderals -> Lunars (with Solar Mates and Elder of the Pact for me and some companions) -> Infernals

>>53933031
It's really hard.

Yup, you could.

>>53933031
Very, very slim.

You'd be a sizeable powerblock with 9 to 18 powerful Exalts. But actually conquering the Realm, let alone Creation in it's entirety, isn't going to happen with that. Especially in just the time you get in-jump.

>>53931445
The Return of the King

>>53933135
Wouldn't Elder of the Pact jump your essence high enough for an Infernal that you could start doing end-game bosses with your circle?

Probably numbers are still an issue, though.

>>53933230
Humanity seems to help.

Anyway, we know that she's in pain because she swallowed a poison, a corruption. You might want to research mundane and magical means of curing toxins and corruption and heal her. Be careful of any kind of purification though, she is a half-demon and some may indiscriminately target her.

>>53933031
No chance.
It wouldn't even be a matter of strength - other exalted have conquered quite a bit with significantly less - but a matter of time.

Creation is big. 2x the size of earth iirc.
There's no chance in hell you'd manage to conquer the whole thing in what, 50 years at best.
Probably far less, since at least in your first jump you'd need to focus on building a powerbase first, which alone can take decades, or at the very least years.

>>53933293
I could never do that, Anon. I love her.

Depends on how you rule the differing Essence scores to work.

But just because you have the Essence for it, doesn't mean you don't still have to get all the prerequisites to get to high-Essence Infernal Charms, which is going to take a while (longer than you have). So practically you won't really have access to that yet.

But yeah, numbers and the sheer scale of Creation are a huge issue.

It looks to me that it's closer to the size of Western Europe. Maybe even less.

>>53933328
>>53933458
Current creation is just under the size of Earth, with the water/land split reversed. You're mistaking the scale of the whole place. Blessed Isle is closer in size to all of Asia than it is Western Europe.

Nope. Not by a long shot.

That central isle? That's about the size of North America or Asia.

Creation is slightly smaller than Earth overall, but has much more land compared to ocean.

>>53933458
North > Scavenger Lands > West > Blessed Isle > East > South

>>53933322
Best advice? Look around at a bunch of Jumps. Pick a format that you like and that also would work best for the materials.

Look at the way Red Shitposting in 3...2...1... handled Warframes in Warframe for an idea how people might like you to handle Books. HeavensAnon and Digger are both great guys to check out if you want to see some higher quality Jumps. Val also does great work, but she tends to focus on higher powered stuff.

If you're looking for something with a little bit of a simpler structure, check out Nikamoth's Fire Emblem Jumps. She does great work fitting tone and setting information into her Jumps without bogging them down with a ton of extra words.

If you want to check out someone who's more fluff heavy, try Yorokonde's Katawa Shoujo or Ogre Battle. Not Zootopia because that's a mess.. He could probably stand to tone it down a little, but he does a great job getting across the feel of a setting so you don't have to wiki dive.

That's not to sell our other Jumpmakers short. Every single one of them has at least one good jump to their name and most of them have neat ideas to steal from.

But most importantly, don't give up and have fun.

>>53933609
Not fishing though?

>>53933643
Goddamn Fate ninjas. The ruined Creation even before they were a thing.

Which is kinda their thing, I suppose.

>>53933230
A good way to start would be grinding a shit ton of Humanity to get her up to the 'somewhat able to move' stage. That way her body will better withstand any treatment you decide to give her.

High tier healing magic (much higher than available in DS) would be your best bet. D&D, Overlord, Hero BBS, anything with healing magic of those calibers should help. Path of Life from Age of Wonders might also be helpful.

I feel like there's an effect out there somewhere that lets you shunt things like diseases and poisons onto yourself from another person. If you set up some immunities to start with, or simply find a scapegoat, that would probably do fine.

Of course, a very simple way would be to just kill and then resurrect her. She'd be weakened still, but disease free. Whether you consider that an option or not, who knows.

>>53933609
It's not bait though. The Code Geass jump is kosher to remake or update. It's just that nobody seems interested.

Should I take Actraiser or Disgaia?

But as for advice--if you're nervous about it, contact the IRC or a jumpmaker to help you out! Digger did a great job encouraging me when writing my first jump hee hee.

Try looking at jump structure, making perk/item tree backbones, and go from there.

Jumps are organized typically into Location -> Origins -> Companion Section -> Items ->Drawbacks.

Also I finished editing Fire Emblem Valentia's grammer, so I'm gonna put it on the drive if no one has any further objections.

>>53933735
Is it? Did Reborn give his/her blessing? If so, cool. If not, let's change it anyway because it sucks as it stands.

>>53933786
That map has no indication of scale either. It has a grid, but unless my eyes fail me it doesn't say anywhere just how big one of those squares is.

I'm not sure what a single city slightly less populous than San Jose has to do with the size of Creation?

>>53933860
That's like half the size of Earth. Is that all of Creation?

>>53933822
Yeah. It was thrown to HeavensAnon, then Heavens threw it to Digger. Could always ask.

>>53933789
I can't play any of the newer FE games so I had a question that hopefully you can answer. Is Nohr such a shitty place to live purely because of its terrible climate and bad soil? To get to the point, if a Jumper were to come along and either turn their fields fertile, or just introduce crops and animals that could handle the climate, would that help most of the tension between Nohr and Hoshido?

Being a war hero is cool and all, but it would be nicer to just solve the problems that led to war to begin with.

>>53932819
God I hated the Bird Romance. Ray + Hawkgirl was way better. However the "My soulmate is with Hawkguy" was a huge copt out.

Creation's surface is roughly 120 million square miles, but it the land mass is actually somewhere around 95 million square miles.

The Earth, on the other hand, has about 197 million square miles of surface, but only 57 million square miles of land surface.

Yes, if you only count Creation proper. It's more if you also count the Bordermarches, Middlemarches, and Deep Wyld.

>>53933909
No, 90% of it got deleted by SWLiHN, then another few percent dissolved during the Usurpation, then a few more percent were destroyed by the Raksha invasion, and a few more on top of that ended up as unlivable Border and Middlemarches.

So Creation as you see it is only a tiny percentile of the original Creation.

I did not write the Fates jump, but Nohr is a shitty place for exactly that same reason. But the main man behind making Nohr and Hoshido's relations sour is none other than pic related (who is actually a goo monster), and he's possessed by a freaky dragon zombie spirit thing with human hands for feet (no really look at Anankos's model it has fucking human hands for dragon feet).

You're gonna have to take him out unless you have a way to heal someone if they're possessed.

>>53934119

Considering it's population, it should be around the size the of ancient Rome (a city with the same population and similar accommodations and density given the technology). If we take >>53933860 's map scale for reference (which is a much smaller compared to >>53933511), Nexus would be around 94 kms (give or take 10 kms) from the tip of the peninsula to the borders of the city. That would mean that it would be two times bigger than current Rome. That would mean that Nexus is four times bigger that it has the right to be in >>53933860 's map. And probably much more in >>53933511 's map.

>>53933757
Look, I tuned out most of the Gash Bell high end stuff because it just got ridiculous. I'd be perfectly happy if the Jump focuses more on the power level we see earlier on than anything like that picture. Honestly. The whole premise in the beginning worked just fine. Dolls battling to see who's king, books with spells that unlock extra powers after some extra training or personal revelation... why did they have to go all xiaxian with it?

>>53934228
