@Banana Exalted allows that.

I remember a 4chan quest where the QM said, "Ok, the tomb, buried deep a thousand feet below the surface, is collapsing, you only have time to grab one thing!"

Then I said "Increasing Strength Exercise, Ten Ox Meditation, Thunder's Might, Power Suffusing Form, Legion Auroch's Method, Triumph-Forged God Body, Aegis of Unstoppable Force, Nine Aeon's Thew. We tell the collapsing tomb to sit down and shut up, by throwing the thousand feet of dirt to the next continent. 30* successes."

This was literally a first level character, and that only required me to spend about half our charms.

Exalted unfortunately turns into a "Who's better at dumpster diving rulebooks for the best charm combinations?" When played competitively though. It works well for when the party each focuses in different things, not so well when there is overlap.

*Which for reference, would be like rolling about a 300 in D&D.

A Tabletop approach we haven't brought up yet is a more 40K style army sim. Theoretically, there are supposed to be big armies fighting. Even if we ignore them 90% of the time.

@Mega Birb I kinda want to know why you'd want one, and what you'd do with it. Run what if battles?

by the way @KoL, when did Hildr ever become a Queen? Goddess and Elder Valkyrie she may be, but that coup wasn't cannon to anything. Hell, with the addition of Princess to the War RP, Hildr can't even come out to the RP made for her except for advisory and Trump Card duty without making the Angels unbeatable in every regard...granted, Hildr is more then willing to handicap herself for the sake of a good fight, so not an impossibility.

Someone already did. His names was Sliske and he was the only Demon lucky enough not to get himself roped up in doomed operation without being thrown into a kennel of hellhounds in heat.

Though unlike Victoire, he did not get adorable puppies out of the deal, so his Luck still has room for improvement :3

@TheWindel@The 42nd Gecko@floodtalon@Lucius Cypher@Mega Birb@Lonewolf685

So, it seems that a lot of questions popped up while I was sleeping. I'll try to answer it to the best of my ability, so let us see.

-- "Why Juno is so powerful?"

Well, to put it simply, she's that powerful because she the physical incarnation of one of the four main forces of nature, by being one of the parts of a being that simply put is the avatar of the laws of Physics.

But, that's just the IC explanation for it. OOC-wise, Juno is powerful just because she is. That's that. She's a character I like and have been working in for quite some time and she got to that power level as kind of a memetic mutation. That's the whole explanation of it.

-- "So, then, what's the point of fighting her if she's an unbeatable, raging, space Valkyrie war goddess that can give an ass spanking to X character, even though they have Jester's cool contacts?"

Let us being with a simple question. Has anyone of you ever watched any shounen anime?

Characters are always bound to face threats orders of magnitude more powerful than they are, sometimes the abyss can be so big that it's impossible to bridge, like the difference between Beerus and Whiz to the rest of Dragon Ball's cast, even Super Sayan God Super Sayan Goku and Vegeta.

The problem here is that you are looking at the issue from a wrong angle. Yeah, Juno could vaporize about anyone on that battle field regardless of Eyes or not. That's true. But it's also true that she's more interested in having a good fight than on destroying people for fucks and giggles. That said, depending on how you worded it, I'm not averse to have her lose, but overpowering her simply won't work. That's a point of like to make clear.

Lastly on this question, I'd like to note how Princess has been commenting on how she's constantly put against people with Special Eyes and teaching then a lesson about how their power is a delusion. This is kind of a plot point for later in the RP, so I won't comment too much on that. Just know that on its core, the Nexus is a breeding pen to create the ultimate warrior, kind like a watered down Valhalla. This will be important in the future, mind it.

--"Then, what's the deal with Henry and Graf?"

Again, in a simple manner it should be none. Like I said I'm even willing to have Princess be defeated, of you know how to play. But... Simple brute force tactics won't work at all, because no matter how strong you go, she will slays be more.

Likewise, I have no qualms about Henry using his gates to defend himself, or Endian having a teleportation blocking power (granted that both powers are actually fed by Princess's spatial manipulation, thus she could override or ignore them at get leisure if she wished to).

What I have a problem with is the arbitrary application of said power just to try to make the fight artificially harder for Juno. You don't need this to have an entertaining fight and even to win, if you know what to do. On my end, I would allow that dimensional anchor to come to fruition only after the round was over. It's too convenient to have a counter like that come out of the blue. Even so, I abided to Windel and Lone in a solution to try and solve the issue. But if you are gonna keep on throwing more curve balls, you can't expect me to like it, can you?

Queen, goddess, is ask the same for Juno...

And she does lower her power for a good fight as well, it's only that escalation doesn't allow it.

Alright, I've gotta ask: Is Princess susceptible to the doming power of a sniper rifle?

Also, is she capable of reason?

Considering Princess just used Extreme Speed to function as her substitute teleport, I give you an X-com Ironman Impossible 50% chance to hit. If you get the reference, then you know the odds.

If you mean ad I'm kill her with one shot, then no. But she's obviously capable of being hurt by bullets, just like by any other form of attack, for that matter.

And yeah, she's capable of reason, talking her down is a viable tactic as well.

Ara ara, so much stuff going on. My next post might be a bit loaded with actions so please tell me if I've done too much.

@KoL would Hibiki and Tatiana stumble across the battle between Diana, Bastion, and Suparna if they head towards the lava core power room? Also would Hibiki be able to accelerate the time of the bases destruction if Hibiki plants her bombs in the right places? She'll ask Eos for advice of course, but I'd like to know if I'm on the right path.

And as I promised, I would try to have Hibiki help Bastion during this fight somehow, either taking a shot or dealing with Suparna. I imagine fire might be effective. She can't stay to fight of course and she'd want Bastion to escape with them, but she'll do as Bastion said and try to stay out of her way with the direct fighting.

Hold on your post@Ryonara. Need to edit Suparnas once I'm out of class in 30.
