Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

@1Charak2 Approved, as long as you read my PM. I'll add it to the character tab sometime tonight after I've posted the IC.

@WanderingSpirit You there, m80? We're just about ready to go.

Anyway, IC is ready and waiting, for the most part. Just waiting for a few more Mastahs so I can name-drop all your characters (and also be certain we're all ready to go of course lol).

Just gonna finish personality and the History shouldn't be too hard to spew out.



*Then I can go paint my Adeptus Mechanicus models*

@Grey@WanderingSpirit@1Charak2 Do you think you'll have your Masters ready in the next couple of hours?

@Turboshitter

The maximum range of the arrows is 150m as mentioned, which by all means is typical for longbowmen. In other words, if she fires at that range, she'll have 15 multiplications at that speed, which means 32k arrows at the very maximum which is a good estimate of the horde's full force. The arrow velocity is actually calculated to be slower than modern compound bows (they are a little faster), so all in all it's just a regular bow that fires at regular lengths at ordinary speeds but with a multiplication addon, really. If you really want me to nerf it, I guess I could make it every 0,15 second instead, which will turn into seven multiplications at max range, which hits ~above 250 arrows. I dunno, it's really hard to adjust slightly to make it either near useless (the benefit of 250 inaccurate arrows at long range doesn't make up for it being a completely ordinary bow in short ranges, really) or completely broken (just making the arrows fly slower/cutting the multiplication to 0,9 alone). I dunno.

@KawaiiKyouko

I don't want you to nerf it, I want you to buff it xD

Like I said, this all comes down to Servants being way stronger than humans are. A human archer would only be able to fire arrows at a range of 150m and a speed of 100 m/s, but a Servant is capable of so, so much more than that. Given that even the weakest Servants are superior to normal humans by a factor of x10 in every conceivable category, it'd be incredibly unfair to Genghis to base the power of her NP off of what a human archer can do.

Therefore, I propose either altering the multiplication rate so that the same number of arrows would be produced if the arrows traveled at far greater speeds than they do now, or make it so that the number of arrows she fires are equal to the number of horses she has summoned (if you want to limit the maximum number of arrows to the size of her army).

@Turboshitter I feel left out ;;

But I'm excited all the same ^^ XD

@Vocab

I knew there was a name I forgot! Sorry! >.<

@Grey@vancexentan@Shadow Daedalus@1Charak2@KawaiiKyouko@vFear@Cu Chulainn@WanderingSpirit

Alright guys! I've decided to delay the IC until tomorrow/later this evening, since it sounds like everyone is close to being done. Is everyone ready for this RP to start?

Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

@MeteorD Yes, but Caladbolg II being used as a Broken Phantasm has little to do with the arrow's initial velocity, only its explosion upon impact, and Archer pelted Bahzahkah with a lot of normal arrows from that distance as well, meaning Caladbolg II's speed was not a product of it being a Broken Phantasm, nor was it an isolated incident.

Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

@KawaiiKyouko I just thought of this, but I think Rider's bow and arrow NP may need some minor adjustment, as the multiplication effect is predicated on what are strictly speaking human limitations i.e. multiplying every .1 seconds at a velocity of 100 m/s. The arrows won't multiply nearly as much if the projectile is traveling at speeds vastly greater than that, and as we've seen before, Servants tend to get a bit ridiculous when it comes to feats of superhuman strength and weapons mastery.

For example, EMIYA, who is a relatively weak Servant excluding Unlimited Blade Works, is capable of firing arrows at a target many, many kilometers away at speeds vastly exceeding that of sound. Granted, he can only fire accurately at those distances thanks to Clairvoyance, but we're more concerned with the arrow's kinetic energy and velocity here, since Khan's NP is basically a carpet bombing. Observe:



Archer's arrow took about 8 seconds to make all the way across at least half of Fuyuki, and his strength (thus draw weight) is only a measly D, which is vastly outstripped by Genghis here. At the speeds Genghis' arrows are likely to be traveling, their replication will be greatly nerfed if they can only double once every .1 seconds. Might I suggest making it so that they double based on distance, or by how many horses Khan has summoned?

@KawaiiKyouko Genghis is approved unless you have anything further you'd like to add or change. I'll add her to the character tab next chance I get.

@Grey Did you see my PM?
