@The World Tempest would no longer be a bend note and would become something else, yes. What the exact mana cost would be depends on exactly how you want it to behave (blink, incorporeal, something else) and its parameters (how far, how fast, etc). More safe = higher cost.

@ERode Getting a bronze manaburn's worth of mana burned for free seems a little strong for silver. Maybe 25? STRONG PARRY needs to be better defined, but the core idea seems workable. What exactly is enabling her to STRONG PARRY? If a viscous blob of acidic vomit is spout out by a monster, does she just go *ting* and send the entire thing back at them?

Ye, 25 then. My balancing is outta whack.

I’d say that her Parry mechanic is sorta like a repelling ward around her Instrument? When attacks strike it, rather than striking the surface of the blade or scabbard, it hits the ward instead, redirecting the incoming attack. In general, the type of repulsion would be…

If ranged projectile attack, deflect like basically any anime swordsman deflecting bullets.

If fluid or channeled attack, split in half like the Red Sea while remaining dry.

If melee attack, reflect and send them reeling back from Newton’s law of motion, as if they were a bouncy ball that just hit a hard wall.

So for ball of mucus, it’d split around her, the acid having not actually touched her Instrument, while if it was a fireball set to explode on impact, it’d be deflected away and explode after it strikes the ground, rather than when it struck the sword.

@ERode It's cool. Balancing is hard to understand and I don't always get it right.

When I hear "parry" my mind instantly goes to soulslikes where the parry is usually built into some high damage follow up, so an "anime parry" is a lot more tame compared to what I was envisioning. I'll talk it over with Majoraa while you're finishing up your sheet. Looks good so far though.

Yah, I was thinking less of Soulslike parries and more of the consecutive parrying in Sekiro or this thing here.

Still a WIP, but concept is basically parry shit and hit em with Mana Burn until they give up. Pacifist witch hunter go brrt. Posting early so iz easier to edit and also to get feedback on the specialz.



#coolerthanklava

I'd accept this if I were the GM.

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two pictures.


Hint: They're the same picture.

@Majoraa The hell are you doing, Co-GM? Posting your character for approval like that.

Well, if you want my blessing, you have it. Penny Jr. is accepted and can be moved into the character tab.

It's going to be so much fun to see what greater depths of despair adventures I can plunge him into! Truly the Symphony series mascot.

I enjoy things that evoke a cult following, I might throw my hat in the ring. Still gotta read everything, just skimming around a tad after work.

@TaintedMushroom We should still have room if you choose to join. Also your screen name reminds me of a certain band.

Also, I typically wait to pose this question after all the starting characters are accepted but how does everyone feel about discord? The last RP had one and it was a nice place to ask questions and converse with the other players.

I'm already using Discord anyway so I'm cool with it.

My only "concern" (Read: First World Problem) though is that Discords tend to make the OOC completely abandoned, it'll be nice to have best of both worlds where the RP has Discord but the OOC is still used regularly or semi-regularly. I wonder if it can be done.

Discord is cool for longer discussions, like the tons of questions and follow-up questions I have for a build I'm trying to formulate.

Sorry for the huge delay. I'd like to say that I've been working on this since 2 days ago, but I haven't had the chance til now, so pretend this was done then.
Does "As of becoming a Gold Rank Genre, Marrie has found that she's able to become one with the wind and turn incorporeal when casting Melodies. This comes with a 20 mana cost at the start of the casting." sound about right or need to be balanced more?

Well, two of the three are part of your faction, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I really love this character. She's like a cross between Silmeria and Lucette, but a thousand times cooler than either. I can't wait for her and Ashley to meet up!
