Well... I guess it is, in retrospect, but I've already tacitly approved it. At least they get SOME choices.

From: Sceptilesolar | #176
I'm not entirely sure how much importance CON has to elementalists as a secondary, but a race that boosts both CHA and CON might be worthwhile.

And again, you want 13 DEX to qualify for Dual Implement Spellcaster as soon as possible.

From: Sceptilesolar | #143
You know, even if the Battle Cleric's Lore swap is legal (seems like it could be, but I was unable to find a clear answer), it's not as good an AC boost as what I get from Hybrid Talenting.

EDIT: There's also the problem that the Builder really, really doesn't want me doing that one. Just having it call my character houseruled is fine, but I'd have to mod CBLoader to get it to accept the feature swap.

The rest sounds perfectly fine, though; I'll probably take Superior Implement Proficiency as the extra feat there.

From: Sceptilesolar | #141
Your init won't be as good

And by 'not as good' you mean 'horrible'... That's a pain.

Silvery Glow and Invoker's Blaze both provide feat bonuses to the same thing, so it's a waste of time.

From: Sceptilesolar | #139
There's too little feat room!

I mean, I guess I can put off Painful Oath and Silvery Glow (which is better than the radiant booster I was previously using, if we're doing this pantheon worshipping thing). But it's a pain. And the others are really hard to justify getting rid of.

From: Sceptilesolar | #137
Yes, but it's not illegal to take Sword of Hestavar. You can just say you worship... Erathis, wasn't it? and then ignore it flavorwise. No problem. Here you have to worship two different gods. That's an illegality by rules, or at least by the builder, which is complaining.

Not that I would mind changing to the Power of Skill thing.

From: Sceptilesolar | #135
Bond of Censure is hardly trash, it's the second-best Avenger at-will. It's just that you're comparing it to Overwhelming Strike. But I'm attempting to make someone that's good with ranged. Furthermore, I can't take Power of Skill unless I bend the rules, because I'm already forced into worshipping a deity that doesn't have that domain.

From: Sceptilesolar | #133
His health is the same as Brona's too.

I dunno, your advice is theoretically good, but in practice no matter how much I wade into melee I rarely find myself in immediate danger. Brona's a little better off in some ways because he has Storm Soul defense, but his defenses are also lower overall. Not that Unarmored Agility is a waste of time, but it's hard to slot in when I'd rather put feats into accuracy and damage stuff.

(Thinking about it Brona's defenses are gonna start sucking hard if I ever stop using the artifact, though. That's a pain.)

From: SlymDayspring | #029
This is wrong though. Some of the best and most vicious parodies (I dare say most of the best, even) come from people who dearly love what they are ripping to shreds, and the mockery is a way to express how deeply they know their subject. Same way you probably call some of your friends by nicknames that are demeaning when taken out of context, but in context imply affection. Mockery doesn't come from ignorance, that's hatred - which sometimes leads to mockery, but not always.

He isn't talking about parody or poking fun at your buddies. He is talking about vicious mockery with the intent to hurt people. I don't think he is complaining about brilliant, loving parody of religion.

Why of course bunny knights can be divine, we just celebrated a divine bunny holiday!

Though...I suppose kan is probably right with the martial thing.

..but cuteness would be lulz. Just you wait until the party invades candyland seeking the ultimate power source of cuteness...oh how the cherry juices will flow...

From: Sceptilesolar | #127
Back to NPC ratings, huh? All I know is that my top 4 is Miss R, Samantha, Teracor, and Reen.



As for my backup character, it's not quite finished yet, but it'd be this one:

From: Anagram | #118
Maybe I'll use that, or maybe I'll just make her a paladin.


On an unrelated note, I can't decide what power source Bunny Knights should be. They can't be divine, but other than that, anything is fine.

She doesn't really fit the class flavor; she's guided by evil as an ideal rather than any specific vice. More like a paladin of evil.
Indeed. If she were an evil paladin, I'd just say Gray Guard for her PP, or Questing Knight - both fit her perfectly.

From: Sceptilesolar | #111
Didn't we have this discussion before and decided that she doesn't fit any of them?
Yes, but Grim Blackguard works off the vice you got. It's an equally strong thematic fit as Gray Guard (but for entirely different reasons), but I'm not gonna shackle any of the crewmembers with crap PPs for lulz.

Neither of the blackguard vices I saw fit her. I'm considering just homebrewing one for her.
What would her vice be? The Vice of Void? Indecision? Loyalty?

I'm not sure. Vices imply some kind of massive character flaw from which you nevertheless gain strength, but I can't think of something like that for her.

Well, Battlemind stats (and by extension Battlemind PPs) don't mesh at all with normal Sorcs, since they're CON primary. ... On the other hand, an Elementalist / Battlemind could be quite good if hybrid Elementalists existed.

From: Anagram | #094
So tell me, guys. Are you interested in some player-driven sidequests for a while instead of the main plot about Rael and the cult, or would you prefer more of the latter?

From: SovietOmega | #092
apparently he got it from martial power 2.

and the actual text says it is a damage bonus based on dex mod, which would not help val much at all :p

From: Anagram | #079
Miss R leveled up from her adventure just now. You'll have to for at least a short time skip to level someone else. Who will it be, by the way, if not Miss R?

From: _Regaro_ | #154
Didn't I miss then use Heroic Effort to make it a hit, thus not actually missing?

I had hilariously bad damage rolls, but that was about it

Does anyone know how to take screencaps on the PS3? I made Amy Sztery in Soul Calibur 5 but I dont know how to take a good picture :(

Use a physical camera?

>_>

I would think Amy would be the hardest of the characters to make in SC5.

From: Sceptilesolar | #066
There's obviously a simple solution to the problem, we just have to drink an Elixir of Protection from Evil and punch Vivi, and if we do more damage she's evil.

Oh, D&D and your unnecessary quantification of a roleplaying abstraction.

From: Anagram | #062
Oh God I killed the discussion

From: Sceptilesolar | #055
Hmm. Well, I think that's a way to look at it, but as I see it, good vs evil is about motives, and method is for law vs chaos. So I'd be inclined to discard method entirely.

From: Sceptilesolar | #052
You're confusing method with motive.

From: Sceptilesolar | #049
[quoted text]

Huh? I don't remember that. My memory really is terrible, then. Actually, I don't even know what Raita's motivations WERE; I just assumed it was the generic one.

[quoted text]

That's NOT one of the worst possible things, though. It's relatively minor. That's party-centric morality there.

From: Sceptilesolar | #046
This is the quote. So no, I doubt it. You don't go from sarcasm to talking about the reason you're out for blood. It was heartfelt, just a minor thing compared to the death of her sister.

No, that was actually kind of sarcastic or bitter, as I read it. But also probably a true sentiment. But I'm pretty sure we have a good friend in our crew who also used to be motivated by greed to join up with Rael. What was her name? Raita? No, I must be thinking of someone else, there's no crewmember by that name.

From: Sceptilesolar | #041
That sounds sarcastic. Perhaps bitter.

From: Sceptilesolar | #039
No, Vivi as she told us, is invariably Neutral Evil.

Alignments aren't a good judge of anything, and furthermore she's clearly Chaotic.

Point: She wants to bring back Rael because she LIKES serving him because she LIKES all the cool things that he gives her. This is motivation to forsake the world because of GREED.

Did she actually say that? I have a very bad memory, but that seems out of character. I know the artificer cultists did, but I got the impression Vivi wanted to bring back Rael to spite us.

Point: She is willing to commit to the murder of several individuals because she believes they are the root of her problems. Yes, perhaps Amy did some dick things that got Vivi in major trouble, and yes, perhaps the decision to reboot the universe erased her loved ones. She is also very much willing to kill those people ASSOCIATED with the group that had absolutely no say in what was done (Vance) or more or less had their hands forced/they were otherwise coaxed into the decision they made (Kirie, Brona).

Acknowledged, but she wasn't even there to know these particular points. All she knows is that the party was responsible.

Vivi is very evil. Oh, and a choice little quote, "YOU WILL BE RAPED LAST, VANCE". Yeah.

All you've really proven is that she's Chaotic Angry.

From: Sceptilesolar | #035
No she didn't. She wants us dead because she hates our guts. As she said, it's a matter of vengeance. There's no self deception.

From: Anagram | #032
Well what else did she lie about, specifically?

From: Sceptilesolar | #030
That we (directly) caused her sister's death and (indirectly) caused her to be tortured? Not seeing the lie yet.

From: Sceptilesolar | #028
There aren't any false pretenses involved. I'd call her misguided rather than evil.

From: Anagram | #026

I have a slight bias towards the NPCs that make me laugh over the NPCs that are just kind of... evil. There's nothing wrong with Vivi she's just taken a new role which is less entertaining, though she fills the role well enough.

Edit: Saya is officially a sort of anomaly, her inclusion primarily because, as somebody said, a legitimately helpful AND powerful NPC is a nice and interesting change.


She's evil because she blames the party for her sister's death and her own torture? But alright, I see where you're coming from there.
