<Snipped quote by Parallel Hearts>

Not so much stole as conquered and took as spoils of war, but the two things aren't really connected. He's the rightful king of England, and the stone offers its benefits to any rightful king, even if they aren't its proper owner. After all, it went from Ireland to Scotland to England just fine.

@SSW

Well, if that's the case, I guess that everything is alright with him.

<Snipped quote by Parallel Hearts>

I'll add a face claim later, I just don't have the means to do so at the moment.

As for his hounds... I could use some help with that. They aren't Phantasmal Species, just regular dogs, so their existence is closer to representations of the hounds Actaeon had in life created by the Grail. I thought there was a term for things like that, beings summoned as part of an NP, but I can't remember what it is; I thought they were called Pseudo-Servants but that's something else.

@King Cosmos

I think that being Magical Beasts of the lowest rank, like around the level of a modern chimera, would be the least they would be since they are summoned through a Noble Phantasm.

@KoL
You're ok. Get her on the CS tab whenever you can.

It seems that now we got ourselves a good number of proper mages, a manipulator of mystic codes, a master of runes, and a generalist. Now, let's see how good the quota of aberrations will be...

@Yukitamas
Pretty much ok, but I think that Anti-Fortress is too much exaggeration for his NP. Lower it to Anti-Army and you can move to the CS tab as well.

@Cu Chulainn@Parallel Hearts

Understood on both ends. I was just curious more or less.

@Idol Theory

Sure, no worries.

@King Cosmos

Well, Archer is ok as he's. Granted that, knowing how he looks would be really good, since imagining a mute, shapeless blob will be kinda hard for everyone, I guess.

On the subject of his Noble Phantasm. I just would like to have an idea of what class of Phantasmal Species those hounds are. Or if they are or not Phantasmals at all.

@Cu Chulainn
Well, if simply having feats like killing a dragon or something like this were enough to justify A Rank Bravery, almost all of the canon Servants would have it, instead of it being a really rare skill even at low ranks.

You don't need it to block mental interference either. You already have the highest rank of Magic Resistance that's achievable for pretty much any but a handful of Servants. There's almost no mental effect that would do anything to your character as he's now.

As for the horse. I don't think that would be alright either to keep on allowing it to have C Rank Bravery. I don't think it's even needed as skill to begin with, but if you want to keep it at two ranks lower, you can.

<Snipped quote by Cu Chulainn>

Speaking of, does the horse qualify for the melee bonus? I don't think it knows horse martial arts, does it?

@Idol Theory

To say the truth, my opinion is similar to yours, since that skill is more about the capacity and courage to fight against great threats unarmed (in the case of the Greeks who have it, it also represents their knowledge of Pankration), than being Brave.

However, like I said before, I'm trying to not get too hung on canon if it can be avoided and not shutdown people's ideas needlessly. So, I'm on board with letting a horse know kung-fu if that's what their player is interested into and not it doesn't bend the internal logic of the setting too much.

@Yankee
Well, your character seems ok. I believe that she could be a little bit stronger of you want, but if you like her the way she's, you can go ahead and post her on the CS tab.

@Cu Chulainn
Your character is pretty much ok as well. However, reducing that Bravery to B would make more sense in my opinion. Bravery A is something that only a handful of heroes of Heracles' caliber have.

@SSW
Your character is basically alright as well. But I have to ask why does he get the benefits of being considered a rightful ruler by his NP of he stole it instead of being given it rightfully?

@heroic2019
Your character is ok. You can move her to the CS tab?

@Duoya
I don't see anything that wrong in your character. Magecraft powered by the Origin isn't very healthy to use normally, but if you want to, you can go forward with him.

Fate/『 』Märchen

@King Cosmos

You are missing Noble Phantasm in your parameters.

Also, not to say that you can't do it, but are you really going to play a character that can't speak? That's something very complicated to RP, so I would consider it well if I were you.

Fate/『 』Märchen

PS: I added an explanation on Agility and Speed to the 0th post, just in case it comes up in the RP, like it usually does.

Fate/『 』Märchen

Not sure how to go about the "special boon" for masters. Would this equate to just a really strong skill/spell they have, or should it be more specific? I was planning a rune user (not primordial) so would it relate to their area of magecraft or could it even be a really strong mystic code?

@Yankee

Like the others said, it's a signature of your character. Old Runes could fit, if you wish, or even a copy/reproduction of a single Primordial one, like those owned by Touko.

Contentious Topics & Arbitration

- Agility and Speed: It's a well known fact that the relationship between Agility and Speed is badly explained in canon. While there appears to exist a link between Agility, Servant Class, and Speed, is not clear to what extent one influences the other.

To make this frequent topic up to light in this RP already, I'll establish a way to calculate who's faster and who isn't. Except for obvious exceptions that have Skills, NPs, or feats that place then on a different speed class, here's how to determine who would win in a contest of speed:

Speed = Base Class multiplier X Agility bonus.

Base Speeds
Saber 1.0
Archer 0.9
Lancer 1.5
Shielder 1.0
Rider 1.0
Caster 0.5
Assassin 1.2
Berserker 0.9

Example: A Saber with AGI A would have (1X50) = 50 SPD, while a Lancer with AGI B would have (1.5X40) = 60 SPD, making the Lancer faster in terms of pure movement speed. In combat, the Saber would still perform better than the Lancer when it comes to Attack Speed, Reflexes, etc., Since they would have greater AGI.

@Parallel Hearts Can I claim the last Master slot?

@King Cosmos

Sure. Now we are good with Masters. All we need is an Assassin to close all the slots.
