@ADamnFiddle Roger. I'll just demote the NP to a weapon and use another, more characteristic item to take it's place. Also, I'll make the necessary adjustments to the parameters right away.

@Turboshitter Yo I wanna see your koschei app. I wanna know what I missed when I was making mine :^)


Okay so “finishing touches” might’ve been a slight exaggeration, but here’s what I had:



I’m honestly kinda surprised you made his phylactery an auto-regen NP instead of, well, a phylactery. I get balance and stuff but being unkillable except for his one super-specific weakness was kinda Koschei’s thing.

I've just had situations where I apped with the phylactery as immortality like it would be and it's almost always a no go. So I just gave it this instead which is comparable.

Fair enough. In most cases it would be too, but Fiddle seemed okay with it when I floated it past him, so maybe ask?

Also, SLAVIC SERVANT SMACKDOWN! KOSCHEI THE IMMORTAL VS BABA “OG” YAGA! COMING TO YOU THIS SATURDAY ON DARK AMAZON!

Nah, he already said no. Regardless though, I have apped Koschei, but if I feel like I have another servant that would be more fun I might just change tbh.

Whatever you want, bro. Though it would be interesting to see Baba Yaga and Koschei either fighting or working together, since they apparently knew each other in life according to some tales (some of them even say Koschei was a herdsman for Baba Yaga but let’s not hurt his pride too much xD)

Sounds neat. I'd have to see the whole application to properly give my opinion, but note that as someone who reads that manga for Mahou Tsukai no Yome, and a huge fan of the series since prior to the adaptation, some of the situations could be considered "true magic" within the later sections of the series. So as long as you aren't going for that I would be alright with it~.


Right, I'll finish it ASAP so you can give a proper judgment. Either way, I wouldn't go as far as anything like High Thaumaturgy or True Magic, even pairing oneself with Caster Cu's skills should be next to impossible to a modern magus, and he's more or less the standard I'm working with for this.

Also, it's good to know that you like Mahou Tsukai no Yome as well. I have yet to read the manga, but I'm really liking the anime so so far. It's one of the best stories I've seen in a while.

Was that approved by Fiddle? You probably should’ve waited to put that in the character tab. Also, as entertaining as the idea of 18th century Berserker Donald Trump is, that NP is a bit... out there. Especially for someone of his youth and minimal fame. I mean, Shakespeare pulled that reality warping shit too but it only worked under really esoteric circumstances and he was also William motherfucking Shakespeare.

It was approved.

It's not reality warping, it's information-altering. Saint Graph modification is par for the course; this has little difference where a difficulty standard is concerned. It's not as if it's altering that core impulse from [ ]. In terms of age, mystery, and power, he's decisively low-class.

The comparison to Shakes is also pretty moot since First Folio doesn't alter information, it just "shows you a story".

So is it just changing people’s memories and the written references to something, or can it affect the physical world? What happens if they change a vital detail of someone’s legend? Will that Heroic Spirit or people’s memories of them change to accommodate the alteration or is it limited to just changing what’s written in history books so they all say stuff like “Napoleon rode into battle on a giraffe”? I’m a bit confused.

Also Shakespeare’s NP never made much sense to me. I was operating under the assumption that it was actually altering the “story” in a meta sense, not just showing you illusions (keep in mind I haven’t finished Apocrypha yet).

It's applied to discrete informational quanta. I won't go revealing the explicit strengths and weaknesses of it overtly, but all of the information needed to understand its strengths and weaknesses are given in the information, which the GM agreed with.

I recommend leafing through Vol 5 of Apo or at least the description in Apo Mats for Shakes.




Anyway I'll also be serving as your Co-GM for the purposes of applications, all, since Fiddle needs another hand to help out while they juggle some real life goings-on. Reviews of all currently-submitted characters should be done later tonight.

Fixed up Lancer's profile a bit and I hope GM @ADamnFiddle will be satisfied with the results. Also, am I allowed to copy my Approved submission for Master Sebastian Thompson onto the Character tab?

In the meantime, I'll start reading up on some of the others' submissions.

Peace~

MGI: -

LCK: -


Does F count or does it end in E? I can put LCK on E, I guess... I'm not sure about MGI since I've never heard of Ragnar use mana before.

Battle Continuation (Rank A) - His past battles gained him a skill that allows him to continue fighting on despite his major injuries in battle unless someone were to somehow deal a fatal wound to Ragnar or anything with a side effect such as poison.


You got it. o7

Rank: C (B+ when Charisma and Military Tactics are active)

This isn't how either Charisma or Military tactics works in the first post. Basically it becomes "Functionally higher than C, but still C". It would beat out a C rank noble phantasm in power, but wouldn't help you against a B ranked phantasm if that makes sense.


So I should just put C+ instead or don't add anything at all and leave it at C?

Description: Ragnar blows his warhorn and plants the banner on the ground, creating a misty gateway that calls his once great army that invaded the West in the 9th Century. Each and everyone of his Vikings are technically Heroic Spirits under his command and all they think about is following their bannerlord and causing havoc for their faction.

This noble phantasm doesn't function in it's current state. It also seems to alike with a certain Rider's Noble Phantasm in terms of application, so I would like to ask you rework it into something that "doesnt summon servants".


Ah right. Does lesser spirit work?

Here’s my Baba Yaga WIP. I’m gonna fill out the remaining sections and make it look nice when I have the time but I want to get this out here in the noosphere for review ASAP.



Potnia Theron (D): As an extension of the Earth Mother in Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is permitted use of this skill, though its effectiveness compared to a true or major goddess is severely downgraded. Allowing the communication and parthenogenic “birthing” of various animals and monsters, it makes Baba Yaga’s hut a frighteningly well-guarded place.


Authority is barred in the modern day outside of very specific circumstances. Also this is a shard of the N U M B E R O N E Authority.

Elemental (A++): Baba Yaga is commonly associated with the Earth Mother and is attributed with control over the elements as well as the weather. While her ability to control the weather does not allow her to do much other than dictate the day’s forecast because she lacks access to Koschei the Immortal’s island of Buyan, the home of the winds personified, her command over the raw elemental forces is excellent, giving all her elemental attacks a Rank Up in effectiveness and allowing her to summon Elemental Masses as familiars, which she refers to as “her four horsemen”. Little is known about them, but they appear not to be the same Four Horsemen known throughout Judeochristian lore.


Controlling the elements isn't the same as making Paracelsus-style Elementals. It's important to remember that Paracelsus makes them by taking a philosopher's stone (photonic crystal), which is itself a very prep-heavy thing, and then doing even more prep to it. They aren't an instant thing. You can have her able to make "Elementals" in the Paracelsus sense, but you'll need to explain how she's making them in the same way Para does.

Also granting plus corrections on top of HSDW isn't going to be permitted for balancing reasons.

Baba Yaga’s Hut


Justify the range.

Where is it generating that much magical energy from?

I'm assuming the plus modifier applies defensively in the case of offensive NPs below the Anti-Fortress level.

Mortar & Pestle


I'm very confused by the range.

I'm not sure why a broomstick that amplifies magecraft is B rank.

The effect will be treated as magecraft amplification in the sense that, while using it, you'll win against something of equal rank.




Fixed up Lancer's profile a bit and I hope GM @ADamnFiddle will be satisfied with the results. Also, am I allowed to copy my Approved submission for Master Sebastian Thompson onto the Character tab?

In the meantime, I'll start reading up on some of the others' submissions.

Since it's approved, go ahead and pop it into the Characters tab.






You're born with Circuits, they don't manifest past a certain age. It's just a matter of if you learn how to open them (a magic senpai/parent realizes you have Circuits and trains you).

I'm assuming the Tohsaka/Aozaki mention is just as a comparable example.

Define what the fist wraps and gloves do.

F is not a rank.

MGI isn't "how good you are at magic", it's "how much magical energy you can store". If they have no magical experience then it should be at the lower ranks, ie D or E.

Leave it at C.

Summoning wraiths is fine. Keep in mind the dangers of prana expenditures regardless, though.
