Gawain - His noble phantasm theoretically gives him an unlimited boost in the sun as long as he's in it. While this can be circumvented at night he is an absolute nightmare to handle in the day, and afternoon. I'd rather avoid the headache entirely. Remember just because a servant is weak in fate/grand order, or low rarity does not mean in universe they aren't ridiculously strong. Take Nobunaga who quite a few people would argue could hard counter Gilgamesh.

Jack The Ripper - Jack's phantasm is not an all encompassing instant kill but if you are female, and if it is night time its rather easy to get off if it is night. On top of that memory erasure is a bitch in a roleplay setting. How am I as gm suppose to deal with a character who memory wipes upon leaving somewhere? More over toxic cloud that hurts masters? Hard to play around.

King Hassan - Unlike Jack Hassan is literally the embodiment of the meme 'Teleports behind you "nothing personal bro"'. He's the OG Hassan for a reason. To give you an idea Hassan fought Gawain to a stand still in the sun possibly he could have killed him outright.

Kiyohime - Her stats are shit but she turns into a dragon. How many servants do you know of that routinely are capable of fighting dragons that aren't named Siegfried, or Gilgamesh?

Paracelsus - His noble phantasm is a bit ridiculous, and I'd like to avoid a man who can brew immortality potions.

Perseus - Flying servants are at a distinct advantage in combat. Especially ones with a ridiculous amount of NP's. Simply put being high in the air puts you at risk of simply pegging servants who are in return unable to hurt you because they can't reach you. Leaving Archer/caster as the only standard servant capable of hitting you consistently.

Karna - He's pretty much the Grand class Lancer. He's almost untouchable in power his phantasm is anti-god for crying out loud. A look at his statistics should show you why he's strong.

Merlin - He's THE mage. He's not Solomon (hello cloud of Excalibur level blasts) but he's damn real as a threat in any circumstance. When you think of western magi you think of merlin, and his stats/phantasm reflect that.

Other servants are subjected to bans, or nerfs it highly depends on a case by case basis.

You may be a servant, or a master though I encourage you to play both in order to more easily weave the roleplay together. You may have a pick of any of the classes not already chosen. Remember if a partner leaves this roleplay I'm controlling all the NPC's, plus a set of my own I can't likely hold onto more characters.

I intend to play a pair. I will wait to see who we need before picking my classes. If anyone wants to know my preference it goes Saber, Lancer, Rider however I will play the other classes if need be.

Magic in this rp will go by a DnD system of things were you can only cast one spell so many times before you need to let it cooldown usually for a long rest period. For example "I use fireball!" "3/4 uses left for the day". The alternative is a long, and tedious custom system that I'd need to develop just to measure the arbitrary limits of the Nasuverse magic. There will be no arbitrary mana limit per say meaning there is no actual stat system just a general jest of how much magic your character has ranked on the E-A scale. A being master mages, and natural prodigies like Rin.

Servants MUST be from existing legends, or fairy tales. Modern servants aren't allowed the most I'll allow is someone like George Washington, or a already canon modern servant like Billy the Kid. The characters may not be from other fictional works such as Guts from Berserk. The cut off is roughly around the Spanish american war, to world war 1. I will judge characters on a stage by stage basis.

In the event that we don't get enough people for this roleplay the left over spots will be NPC Magi from the church, or mage association.

Enemy magic will be mostly nonstandard. They will be using a lot of illusionist, curse, and trick based magics as that is their family's specialty. Keep that in mind this means there will be a lot of mind fuckery, and mockery. They will intentionally play dirty, and keep themselves out of most if not all combat that they can. That also means the servants will be the main enemies. Masters will have their chance to shine however. With that being said we will have some of our own to counteract some of their stuff but if you're on your own with no experience against mind trick magic expect to get mind fucked. This includes very ancient magics from their caster just because clairvoyance may give you an out to the standard magecraft of the enemy faction masters DOES NOT mean that you'll out the enemey's caster for reasons that will be made apparent later due to the nature of enemy caster. Simple, and to the point he is using magic that is far far different from the standard modern magecraft, and predates many of the servants.

Some NPC characters (that are on our side) will be biased in this roleplay. Pre-existing affiliations will make them gang up on a player character should they (the player) chose to insult, or deride them in some way. Don't expect everyone to be nice to you this won't happen as they won't be nice when talking to my own characters.

I may need to make my servant a higher tier than some others. Not Grand Lancer tier, or what have you but for reasons I'll explain below. This is not to put my characters in the spot light. As Gm if someone drops out I need someone who can pull their weight. I routinely down play my characters (IE putting Saber Lancelot in a forest where Knight of Owner is nigh useless, and not giving him guns before hand) in order to make sure I don't power play, and make everyone seem small. There will not be a grail battle royal at the end of this rp. If you want to know what is I will let you know but it will likely not be pvp. This is assuming that players chose characters are weaker than expected, or lacking in some area.

Chances are you will need to play both master, and servant. I cannot help this. The number of people who show interest is in direct correlation to who is avaible for what spot.

Players will need to have 50 posts on site to join this rp. There were no less than THREE troll accounts that tried to derail my former rp. That one died due to lack of player posting which seems to happen often enough on this site.

If you don't ask I won't tell you what you need to know regarding what your characters may already know about specific things. For example an Executor should know generally what is going on but if you don't ask...well I guess your character's church head was pretty lazy. If you feel the need to know something ask I don't mind questions.

ALTERS, AND EXTRA CLASSES ARE BANNED UNLESS REQUESTED, AND TALKED THROUGH. ALL CLASSES WILL BE STANDARD. THE GRAIL IN THIS WAS NOT PLANNED TO BE SPITTING OUT CORRUPTED SERVANTS.

Saber is an important class be it a tank, damage dealer, or leader character. if you want saber I expect you to commit to this, and be ready to play a strong character. It is also considered to be one of the top classes in the holy grail wars.
