Shin's Admin Review/Permission's Board

I actually have a legit question for once.


So.. lets say I have half of my techs mastered..
and a buddy has half of his techs mastered..

and we want to make a custom that combines both of our abilities..

like.. Ground and Lightning, or water and air.. to make an attack with both attributes.

can that be done?

@ rune - lol@manbeast. sounds sexual. but you can basically have your swords attached to your arms, use beast weaponry and save some exp and texp. might be cheaper?
@ psyre - i suppose i can allow ppl to get level exp back then
@ shishi - omnivision should do wonders for him. that should be ur first tech for him. signature can be used to track auras.
@ tehsex - i think the team set up gives team customs. that'd be the way to go

Only thing that would need to be filled in now is the Class and the pay ( since I dont know exactly how that system works when applying them to jobs and what not...) Also adjust as you see fit.

good ish, i'll add the texp on ur bio. thx for helping out.

Hai. Omnivision would help him. But a couple of the other moves involve sight. Like Speed of Syte. I'll be getting other moves perfected before I go for it. But I wanted to know now instead his eyes keepnig up with really fast targets..Instead his senses can keep up with any speed as he gains levels with it. That way in a fight its almost like he is 'seeing'.

Anytime Shin! :) I'm always happy to help ya out if I can.

i thought ur path was team? when did you switch to org?

shin, when yah gonna put up what i submitted to you? ( i kinda wanna know what class to put my character xD so i can finish up the bio)

mariko = corporate extortionist

@ grunty - ok, you're approved for your 1st check point. your 2nd is pending basically an semi-detailed explanation of why/how you gained ur 2nd
@ kyro - didn't ur headstart do the tiamat quest? ya that should be fine
@ kagu - when i get to it. can't do things that req. concentration @ work

xP okay, i'll just have to like...leave that spot kinda blank on my bio. lol. dont work too hard now.

I have a little issue with my character Lance, before the update he got a combo tech and now the combo techs were removed so I was wondering if he could have it removed from his bio and get the exp and what not from it, the only problem is, I'm not sure if it also cost TEXP along with the wc/exp..

An excerpt from my RP explaining the setup of Power Brokers wrote:

Native explains to me, "You see. We Power Brokers have the ability to collect powers and store them in these orbs. Since only Power Brokers understand how to do that, it keeps the product safe from theft. If someone was to rob our friend here and take all of his orbs because they are nice and shiny or because they know that they are power orbs, it would do them no good b/c the ability comes from within us and we are taught how to access it and shut it off. Power Brokering is a very serious business. Once the Broker has completed their training, their Mentor escorts them into the Bazaar where they acquire some lower tier powers to start their pupil off with. The new Broker now starts to buy, sell, and trade powers with other brokers like we're doing here or selling them to private clients, a non-Broker like yourself. You would look over the merchandise and select which powers benefits you the most for your price range. Once you've selected, the most crucial part would begin. You then select a power of yours that you are willing to sacrifice. You see the way this works is that in order to gain a power, you must give a power. This keeps the flow of powers ever moving. I have even seen someone sacrifice multiple powers because they wanted to gain a single power that would serve their purposes. They were a client of my Mentor's. It is clients like him that have allowed our business to grow. There are also those who collect from the dead. The VIPs of the Power Broker Syndicate, generally just referred to as The Syndicate, frown upon such activity and they have brought Brokers in before the Assembly to handle any situations would might damage the image and reputation of Power Brokers. The VIPs are a very exclusive group and they are what all power brokers strive to become b/c the abilities that they have access to are amazing and they are the ruling body you could say of the Syndicate. They are also able to recognize powers in orbs by a glance. For those not on that level, we have codes of labeling and when a Power Broker touches an orb, they can then decipher what the actual power is. So that is what we are doing here. We label them before we come to the table to expedite the process. Would you care to sit in and watch?" I nod to him and sit silently watching as they resume negotiations for this deal.

@Kyro: That's why I'm here, broham.

Sorry to interject ladies, but I also have a question.

Flight hinderance while in anti - magic cuffs?

Here is my reasoning for arguing against this one.

Water is a medium, just like air. you can swim with cuffs on, can you not?
Spirits have different ways of moving through mediums. I dont see air as "air", I see it as another medium to move through. Whether its wings, or having a natural means to walk across air just like the ground, is that considered magic?

Secondly,
It isnt listed under the Spells section, and its racial. Would the ability to bite and transform a human be restricted from a vamp if they were in the cuffs? Or their flight?

@kagu - it's up
@runey - ya that's fine. get 2k exp and 5texp back
@kaz - so you'd basically strip someone of like "water shot" and put it in a ball and sell it or somethin? dumb it down in ur explanation.
@kyro - nah
@sexy - at first i was like nah, but i think i'ma made flight in the same level as magic. it's basically b/c we got techs and items that negate mag but nothin for flight. i dun feel like having to make things to restrict flight (maybe next update). flyin would be too easy of a cop out for a lot of stuff. person throws down an animagic grenade > u fly up out of it and blast away ur opponents. get caught in that one spirit mag, attack that negates magic in its radius > u fly up and blast away ur opponents. get cuffed > fly away and find a saw. it shits on a lot of stuff that's supposed to be useful. xD good points tho, i agree w/em but we'll do things like this for now

a chain to the floor restricts flight.
What about growing wings? is that considered magic?

Yeah but Kaz, what the hell hapens to the person you extract from? Do they lose the spell/whatever it is you took from them? If so how long? Because permanent would be way too powerful.

Argh, alright, what about this then? *Crosses fingers*

Superhuman Capabilities (Passive)
Gives the Woylf increased Movement and Dexterity during a full moon.
Effect: Movement and Dexterity attributes are Ascended.

@ ash - nah, think that'd be more of a transformation thing
@ psi - i dunno.. i dun too much like that idea. like adrian says, what does it do to the person who had the tech?
@ run - the other 2 techs only boost 1 thing. think ya bein a lil greedy trying to get 2?

i can see that but i dun really wanna get into stat boosting customs tho >.> b/c then everyone'd go boosting speed, etc

Alright, time to think of something else!

lol, ya sry bout that. thx for understandin i'm sure ur next custom will be teh sex

lol, no prob

It's a good idea when it comes down the abilities that anyone can learn but still. Even a one use item that limits an ability to one RP is too powerful if you're taking a custom ability/spell away from someone. If someone takes the "Almighty Badass Spell of Ultimate Destiny" from the man that made it up, then it loses it's meaning to that person. It's unique, it gives that person an edge over others like all other customs. But if you are able to 'broker' these customs then they lose that edge.

They could always relearn it.
It'd suck to have copycats though. But this seems more like it could be a potential roundabout way of humans getting their hold on some Tier III magic. Thats awesome.

@kaz - it's a good suggestion... but i'ma pass for right now
i'ma keep it
in mind for my next major upgrade b/c i'd have to make a whole system
for it and tweak out ur stuff and add mine, etc
that and the wind pckage... i need t'make a list of next time additions

I will work on the wind package as well, since I love that kind of element more than any others. I think I only used that over on wotl and wotr.

Anyways.. for the tech stuff above..

you dont have to make a tech that is one big bad ass kill spell or anything. Just because its a custom, as Kaz said, doesnt mean its something that anyone else couldnt learn, its just something that isnt in the base level of common knowledge. My custom allows me to generate my own electricity to fire lightning bolts. What if a fire user wanted to eat fire? that doesnt damage anyone, but its still pretty cool. Its all about how you manifest your abilities to compliment your character

somethin about a sale at TJ maxx... um... like i said, i'll look into it. i still don't get it 100% so you'd prob have to call me.

I was wondering..

Fyre Eater (passive)
When under attack by fire, Shou can draw and devour the attacking flames to replenish his health rather than harm it, or redirect the attack back out to his opponent in a blast of fire. The level of healing and attack is based off the strength of the opponent's attack.
Effect: +HP or Attack Strength = 10% of Opponent's Fire Attack Strength. +10% with each level of control (50% at perfected).

Ok so when I made my Char Nagi I kinda didnt know what I was doing. And so for his affinity i just selected Physical....that was it. I know dumb me. But now im actually paying attention to the packages and such. And Ive found I actually want the Magixal :: Lyt'ning affinity. I have not learned any physical techs.

So just wondering if it would be ok to switch.

You misunderstand. Its not a boost, the rating of the blast back attack is HALF of the attack that comes in.
And "When under attack by fire, Shou can draw and devour the attacking flames to replenish his health rather than harm it"
So no, I won't be taking any damage here. >>

Its a choice of the two abilities. The drawback, I thought, would be that its an extremely conditional technique. How many people do we have using fyre? Aside from myself?

Also, its presumed that once a person sees him eat fire once, they won't be sending any more of those kinds of spells his way. We have idiots, but I'm sure no one's that stupid. This technique's REAL purpose is to just make my guy master of fire, and unrivaled at it. Its unlikely to even think someone's gonna throw a destructive my way knowing this is in my bio.

And regarding the potential fire from a friend deal, sure. The descrip says "Opponent's Fire Attack" after all, as opposed to an Ally's.

@ theme - oh yah, what happened to the custom you asked for a while ago? this one look a lil diff? but have it do 1 thing, either eat or redirect
@ dat - sure go ahead
@ psi - path is approved. we have what's offered. it dun matter what weapons they get overall. i guess ur payin for them? they just can't have status affecting stuff, etc.

let's start back usin discussion threads for stuff that i'm not respondin to

Lol, its the same. I'll take the good eats though.

It was broken down to mirror the Building an Organization path... the serious fact of the matter is that I can do FAR more damage with 50 operatives. This gives me the opportunity to help OTHERS. I put in as many stipulations that would make this of no benefit to me except that I could steal powers from people and sell or trade them. This would not need it's own page as this thread could be used as a reference if a question ever came up.

Organization gives me...
C1) Job that pays $5000 + 12 Operatives (NPC minions that I can control and have attack/defend enemies to distract them from me to give myself an attack of opportunity)
C2) 13 more operatives + Small Building
C3) 25 more operatives...

Broker gives me...
C1) Ability to replicate powers or transfer powers between two entities
C2) Use of Bazaar to actively buy, sell, and trade the acquired powers + 25 Operatives
C3) VIP Status... bonus to Power Transactions

Perhaps, I'm missing it but if people are worried about me being dangerous with Broker, keep in mind that I've completed Org once already so I already have 50 operatives... so when I finish the path again since it's the only applicable path for me while in Onitoshi, I'm going to have 50 more troops for a total of 100 troops.

Me with:
100 Operatives vs. Extract Power

I even told you exactly what I would be able to do with the ability when you asked. A lot of the longer parts of your post regarded the breakdowns which I added so that people wouldn't complain that I was able to extract abilities too early or too easily. You wanna dumb it down... 2 turns for any ability... You wanna simplify the VIP bonus... a flat 10% premium or discount to transactions. The only calculation needed would be the price of the orb and that was simplified as far as I could make it.

Hit me up if you have questions, b/c I feel a lot of this could be negated if you asked me your questions or concerns. Like I said, I can do far more damage with 100 operatives, but the Power Broker story would be far more interesting storyline wise.
