@vancexentan

Ai!
give me a minute I have to do like a buncha short Locusta interactions for this.

[vancexentan]

Alright I posted for Leon since I failed to mention he grabbed the shard of the round table in the initial post I deus ex machina'd the thing back into his possession. I suppose I can re-edit the initial post but that may be sloppy on my part.

[The Red Seelie]

@vancexentan

I think you described locustas appearance wrong lol.

[vancexentan]

Edited it out.

[The Red Seelie]

So it can now be confirmed that Locusta has borderline ADD

So I'm back from my mini vacation, and I'm currently suffering the effects of jetlag. Post will be up once I feel less nauseated.

Also, Luck checks have never really been explained all that well in canon, so the way I'm doing this is that d20 represents a maximum value of 200 (A+++) and whatever rank your luck is, that's how many "safe" numbers there are for you to roll) (E = 1, D = 1-2, C = 1-3 etc.). If anyone else has any better ideas on how to implement this, I'm open to suggestions.

@Turboshitter

I reread this ruling earlier, and while it does seem sensible to those with a smaller amount of luck, but to those with a high amount, they seem to be pretty shafted in this regard. Perhaps make the range a bit higher?

I was thinking as followed.

E: 1-2, D: 1-4, C: 1-6, B: 1-8, and A: 1-10. EX ranks are irregular and can be ranked depending on the source of said rank.

With this range, those with high ranking Luck will have only a 50% chance to survive the worst of things, since such a high number should be more tangible in certain situations. Also it should be kept note that the range should increase more, or the check should be lowered when the effect is of a lower rank.

@Cu Chulainn

but how does this work with plus modifiers where A+ luck is effectively twice as much A luck. Effectively making it 100%?

@1Charak2

Modifiers doubled stats? I'm fairly certain that in Fate, modifiers call for situational boosts, and are treated as a Rank-Up, and not an x2, in most cases. Then again, I'm not sure how modifiers are treated here.

@Cu Chulainn

If you look at the table of numbers. A single + modifier allows you to temporarily double the stat. (B+ actually being higher then A in a burst) and then a ++ modifier triples and a +++ modifier quadruples. So yea. Because of that and how your luck table works A+ can burst pass all luck checks.

So actually another way of doing it with this info is to basically...

E = 1
E+ = 3
E++ = 5
E+++ = 7

D=3
D+=5
D++=7
D+++=9

C=5
C+=8
C++=11
C+++=13

B=7
B+=10
B++=13
B+++=16

A=9
A+=12
A++=15
A+++=18

This better fits with a plus modifier actually reaching into the rank above with that 'burst' since thats usually when you'd do it on a luck check.

Still it causes an issue so.... heres the numbers again but a bit more sense

@Cu Chulainn

Yes. They made it a point to mention in Stay Night in relation to God Hand.

[MeteorD]

Also, got Kintoki on NA today. What a best.

Toasted

Bluh to keeping track of all the turns Constantine's helmet drains mana. Servants pretty much leak the stuff by just existing, so just assume Lancer's used a small chunk of it zipping around stabbing skellies.

[vFear]

urquhart castle irl:



Also yeah, my internet exists again. Post is up, pending a spelling/grammar check _{that probably won't happen because i'm lazy tbh.}

[The Red Seelie]

The lack of comments about Locusta being super chill with people dying.

You guys are no fun
