She's not even the worst. There are way bigger monsters in Hinduism.

I might not be the GM here or anything, but I think it's safe to say that she is off charts in the power ranking xD
And I hope everything even close to her powers too, there can't be fights happening when just looking at your enemy makes you instantly lose the battle.

Oh no, this is just an initial post for the theme so I can work out power-scaling for the Fae. I intend resistances to the Mystic Body and things like that to be possible, I just don't know what the scaling is like so I couldn't say what those would be. It's just the "theme", not the app itself.

Well, from my point of view it looks like pretty much EVERYTHING about her needs to be toned down a LOT, but what do I know.
Even in a toned down version of those abilities it sounds like having one of them is already strong enough.

Right, that's the idea. App the legend as-is, then scale it down to fit the parameters of the RP. The current app is the Mohini of the legend. It'll be scaled down by the limits of the system. Heracles in Fate's gone from "hold up the sky" to "destroy a house" in terms of raw strength, and Hinduism is way more OP than Greek myth, so consider that. I don't doubt that I'll need to remove things and the like.

Don't worry, I'm not trying to put ungodly-level OP things in.

Lemme explain a bit further. Let's say I apped her as a Servant, Nasuverse style. Then I'd know what sort of scaling to do. Low STR, mid AGI, low END, high MAN, mid-high LCK. Mystic Body's a skill like Cybele, C rank MAN and below is affected, B gets a saving throw, A gets a rank down from pressure. Maya's a skill like any Caster's Magecraft. NP's would be the others, and I'd probably limit her to one NP, so she'd get the Shriman which is basically Karna armor as per its legend, and the Chakra/Astra both go away.

I don't know the system for Fae power scaling like I do for Nasu, so I'm apping the full package, and then seeing what needs to be done.

Arlai BF said How exactly does the body protection work out in a real battle, let's say as an example we have a person with the mighty Teaspoon of Justice, holding it in one of his hands, and now he gets hit by... I don't know, a very sharp katana that would be able to cut off his hand. Would it just knock against his body, not cutting at all, or would it cause a scratch or whatever? Would the person even feel the power of the blow, or is he protected by an invisible force field or so?

It would not cut the entire hand, but depending on the force of the blow compared to the defensive rating it would leave a scratch or a bigger cut, regardless, pain is felt but more in form of feedback. It is theoretically possible to beat a Knight-Arms user into an unrecognizable bloody bulb before the Knight-Arms break.

Arlai BF said While it sounds obvious to me, let's ask it anyway, when an Einherjar gets disarmed, and loses his Knight Arm he loses the protection and the boost, right?

No he does not because the "core" of the Knight-Arms is the Yggdrasil Seed. He loses however any actives and passives tied to the weapon.

Arlai BF said To be able to imagine the power of a Knight Arm..., let's say it has a similar attack to Sabers Exciblast, what kind of damage would it do compared to ... I don't know, a nuke?

Wasn't it like something that Excalibur has the power of 20 nukes in Fate? Anyways, while a Fusion Bomb would definitly cover more area Ex-KAIBA would destroy stuff that no "science"-weapon in existence could destroy.

Arlai BF said How strong is the weakening effect from being far from Seed?

A Fae would be completly useless if the seed is planted outside the island(though it can be transported with a long and complicated ritual!), not to mention the Einherjar would lose all blessings the Fae bestowed upon him/her. If left unmodified, a Fae could move roughly 50km around his Seed before starting to lose power, and while not entirely proportional, the Fae would be at 50% power if roughly 200km away. They are more suited for "fighting in their own turf" and the Yggdrasil Sappling even provides strong resistances to not be simply "nuked away."

Arlai BF said Could a Fae use a Ygg Seed to get the other powers?

A Einherjar can use multiple Yggdrasil Seed in theory, a Fae shares the Manapool with the Einherjar. The Einherjar would do the Ritual of Binding with the Knight-Arms seed but the Fae could use it.

Arlai BF said Could a Fae take part in battle alone, without her master?

How do you mean? The Master could go into hiding and let the Fae do all the work, yes.

Arlai BF said Why would anyone be this when everything else gets protection and special powers xD?

Surprisingly most people seem to aim for Seiths so far...

Well D's where non-boosted stats should max out around, and only a few should be in that C-S range from what I got, but inno. I won't complain if the cap is higher than where I am, at the least.Anyway Sky, here's the fae. Speaking as a Hindu here, Hindu stuff is broken, so if you need me to change things I'm happy to do so. It also doesn't help that I'm not sure what power level Fae are meant to be at, compared to Einherjar. This is the full package, so just let me know what needs to be nerfed and if there are too many moving parts and whatnot.If anyone likes her, let me know. She needs an Einherjar anyhow.: Mohini: -: : A manipulative, charming, and utterly devious seductress. One who acts with an end goal of “good,” but who is more than willing to pursue risque means to do so.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohini: D-S: A: D-A: B: S S G

I am too tired for today to get through this in a more serious manner, I know you wanna see the "limitations" as I didn't even provide any examples yet, goddamn Hindu .__. . Arlai isn't that much in the wrong and pretty much everything would need nerfing. The incomplete rules also stated no auto-hitting. In a 1on1 a Knight-Arms user of the same potential would have an advantage over any Fae. Hum....imagine it more like Lancer but without one-hit Gae Bolg. Anyways, I will write tomorrow or wednesday something to that because tomorrow will just be as busy as today in regards of work.

Wasn't it like something that Excalibur has the power of 20 nukes in Fate? Anyways, while a Fusion Bomb would definitly cover more area Ex-KAIBA would destroy stuff that no "science"-weapon in existence could destroy.

Nah, they're almost equal. A nuke is equal to Brahmastra Kundala which is an A Plus NP, Excalibur's A Plus Plus. It's stronger, but not like 20x. Then Excalibur also has the whole "searing heat that evaporates lakes and wipes out mountains without even touching them" deal.

At least, in terms of raw destructive power. It also depends on the nuke and whatnot, but since Kundala's Anti-Country probably a decent-size one.

Anyways, I will write tomorrow or wednesday something to that because tomorrow will just be as busy as today in regards of work.

Alrighty then.

Also tomorrow I gonna make some changes/extra-information to Knight Arms, Fae and Seith. Also I might remove the stats or tone them down even more, not sure, I talked to some peps about it but regardless I will change them too.

Reserving this post. I'm actually in the process of moving out of my house, but I should still have internet access, so I should be able to put up something within a week or so.

Question 1. What counts as within the island, if one were to plant an Yggdrasil Seed, say, underwater on the outer edges of the island?

Question 2,3, whatever. If I understand correctly, participants of this ritual are aware of the the ritual itself and what it requires, yes? Are methods of forcibly exhausting an opponent's mana considered commonplace? If for example someone were to focus on killing their opponent as quickly as possible, without the opportunity of retaliation, that would lead to a case of that opponent's magic being mostly converted to vim, yes? Is it within the realm of possibilities that if this someone were to kill most of the participants in the fashion, that there would not be enough Qnd produced to renew the Seal?

(note, I just want to know for the sake of the knowing how the setting works. This scenario doesn't work in a pvp-themed roleplay, naturally)

Yeah I got nothing up today, but thought more about what I will do to the stats and basically I will provide a few reworked examples and want to get your feedback on it, the examples gonna be from "easy peas"y to complex "pls P&P section"(No, not really, but it will include a lot more complexity than right now >_>). I think I kinda rushed the OOC(and prolly Int. Check too cuz ALL THE EXCITMENT, such a scrub GM I am <3) as there are so many things I haven't properly explained yet, I should start making proper notes for myself instead of keeping the most stuff in my head <_<, yeah sorry for that. Anyways once everything OOC-wise is settled I gonna push up another, new interest check to hopefully get a few more people :). The two most annoying days of the week are over too, tomorrow, I have to prepare something in my private time for work though but I will try to get more information up on the same day regardless of how busy I may be(I also have other RPs to attend which I put on higher priority right now).

Twiddel-di-di, twiddel-di-dum~

So, aside from myself, has any of the rest of you figured out what you'll be using as your Yggdrasil Seed yet? ^^;

Yeah I said I do something but I didn't, on a positive note though I finally finished with my project and habe more time for rpguild again starting tomorrow.

Pretty much got everything figured out and written down, actually the only thing missing for my char is personal history, personality and the statthingy
Too lazy to write personal history yet, statthingy is still up in the air, and personality is kinda... complicated

Alrighty, so I've got a flight to catch and a vacation to go on now. I'll be back Wednesday evening. Don't do anything rash without me~

Changed some Knight-Arms text to make less obvious stuff more obvious. Nerfed Fae, buffed Seith.

Put some more Q&A.

Reworked stats.

I hope I have clarified some things in terms of balance, yes, overall you could call the powerlevel "weaker" than Fate (and Fortissimo).

Rules and Flags will follow.

Smooth said What counts as within the island, if one were to plant an Yggdrasil Seed, say, underwater on the outer edges of the island?

Would be possible, the further a Fae is away from the Seed the weaker it is though, clarified that more in their section.

Yes, there wouldn't be enough Qnd to renew the Seal. The Fateweaver COULD interfere if that method is mainly used, sorta unspoken rule, that must not mean he kills the assassin but instead could maybe even help improve the killers technique, like adding a "Manaburning" effect to a poison or something.

I was waiting for the new info before I made my character~!

I plan to put up a second Int. Check anyways because I am desperate I can, so no haste :p.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm asking all these questions, but I still have pretty much nothing in mind as far as characters go lol. Leaning slightly towards a Fae-user.

Back earlier than I expected. Yay, I guess.
