Technique Questions

@ theme
1. when i made this tech, i basically wanted to make it so that small metal items would be attracted or repelled from w/e is magnetized. so like, if someone got their sword scattered, spoons, metal shards, nails and stuff would stick to it, etc. it was mostly sposed to set up magnetism but solo it'd basically make somethin metal a magnet, so i guess if the magnet had a strength it'd prob be based on the user's attributes where the use can put as much or as lil in it as they need to. i dunno if that answers ur question or not. might have to think a lil on that one.
2. i'm thinkin pretty much all mag atks move at a rate of fierce regardless of type

@ jai
1. ya, i can see what you saw there
2. the mag. lasts for 2 posts on what ever the object is that's magnetized. u dun have to hold the tech. it drops after 2 turns automatically.

hope this helps :m044:
if a description needs to be clarified in the wordin let me know

Bless/Curse Questions

1) Why is there no ability to cast Bless on a person? There are three abilities that cast Curse, but only Blessing Imbue which requires an inanimate medium.
2) If you cast Curse on an Oni or Bless on a human, what happens?
3) If you are cursed/blessed, do all attacks affect you as if you have Weak Defense or just those imbued with Bless/Curse status?
- Is the effect basically the stamina drain and inability to recover either?
4) Originally the "reoccurring pain" was cosmetic pain, is that still the case or is there a flat dmg rating assigned to the pain now?
5) If you cast Bless/Curse on a grenade, is the blast damage blessed as well? (Yes it sounds silly, but I'm curious.) Or is meant for non-mechanical weapons?

Thanks, that's it for now.

1. Blessing Imbue
TEXP: 10
The ability to spiritually add Blessing to an inanimate object. It will hold the blessing for a length depending on the control of the spell (1 day per level).
Effect: add Bless to an object

2. nothin. they get cured if they are already blessed (oni) or cursed (opposite)

3. all attacks

4. cosmetic

5. no unless you hit em w/the grenade and it didn't blow up. the bless would be on the grenade, not the blast.

Ageus
TEXP: 5
A spell that invokes a mode that increases the speed it of a Magixal attack. Magixal attacks will now travel over a distance faster than normal.
Effect: Magix attacks move at Ascended rate, mode lasts 1 post per level

This is funny cuz you all ready had someone mention this once. If this makes the techniques move at an Ascended rate, then the default speed they move at would obviously be one tier lower. The breakdown page says they move at Fierce. Fierce = Ascended. So I think you meant they move at Strong, or High.

On some of the techs, it says they paralyze the target but paralyze isn't on the status effects list

psi - i'll look into it
theme - kk thx, i'll fix that
rune - i'll look and see if that needs t'be added or explained. it shouldn't have anything special added to it cept for paralysis. the other stuff on the status normally has stuff added to it like it effecting sta or hp.
jai - be nyce

I think the bigger question is how long would paralysis last. And though it paralyzes the body, would one still be able to fire off spells?

Alright, I have another question....

» Sonic howl
A piercing offensive howl that sends out a sturdy force to knock an opponent back while dealing damage.
Effect: damage is Fierce within weapon melee range and Strong outside of weapon melee range

^^^^^ What is the drain on this tech, is it rated at Fierce? I ask this since it does two different damages at two different ranges.

Can MToughness and Toughness be used at the same time?

nah, that'd have t'be a combine tech t'use 2 techs together

Quest Ability: Artifact Activation (active) < What exactly does this do? It is gained for doing the Artifact Activation Quest, and sounds as if Hitorinji should start with it. >_> does it allow them to go Super Hitorinji?

Thats the tech humans are supposed to do to go Hitorinji. Kinda like the Ascenscion for spirits.
Really, the effect is clearly stated:
Quest Ability: Artifact Activation (active) - class change to Hitorinji.

@ rune - see theme
@ theme - yup yup
@ esca - good cosign. fawk! a question...
that's actually based on a earlier concept i had of the hito. basically it increase affinity techs +1 to lvl. supposed to be the hito's hidden strength.

So.... if you have a hitorinji character all of there affinity techs start out one level higher than normal?

nah. their spells do +1 dmg xD i think

I see, alright I have questions again! and I need to get to work on those weapons for you x.x

First, the tech Antichant, can it be ranked up to reduce the increase in stamina, the same goes for the other techs in the package.

Quote :

Antichant (passive)
TEXP: 8
The ability to forcibly use a spell without chanting the invocation for it. It allows an user to get off a spell faster, but casting spells this way places an extra strain on the user.
Effect: stamina drain x2 for the tech used

Second, if your affinity is casting, would it reduce the stamina costs of the techs like it does with other techs?

nah, this is a passive tech that doesn't need to be trained
if it's your affinity it'll prob cost x1.5 instead of x2

I has another questions for you.
The first being; If a character was to get shot twice with a firearm, say a handgun would that do strong once, or strong twice, since the character would be getting shot two times.

The second being; kind of similar, but if you were to wear two different attack rings and hit someone with both of them, would they do two strongs or a single strong in damage.

- each shot is it's own dmg

^____^
but the ring attacks prob wouldn't combine. i dun want ppl trying to do super attacks by stackin ring attacks on each other

ya, basically whether it hits or miss. it can be your success rate w/the spell or the effect. it's up to you.
happy holiday's you too. how's ya big sis doin? ^_________^

I was looking at the techs in the Mechanical Weapon Projectile tech tree and I was wondering if any of them are passive, because it doesn't say, but it seems like say they are, but it seem/feels like they would be passive techs.

i remember making them not passive for a reason. if ur confused about why one needs to be trained then c/p its description and i'll let you kno why

You should know the answer to this after being on a Shin site for so long: because Shin said so.

sounds good

Could there be a custom tech made in the Beast Melee package that would allow a Onihumetransformation demon to use the techs in the package?

Mmm, I see. Wasn't sure. Another thing I was wondering is how one could get custom weapons made, like custom melee weapons, would we have to find a spirit smith or is there some other way since there isn't that many spirit smiths.

Custom Combine Techniques
Combination techniques mesh together the properties of two packages. In order to learn a custom Combination Technique, a character must already have both packages that the technique will consist of. In addition to that, he or she must have over half the techniques in both of those packages trained at Mastered level or greater. If one of the packages in the Custom Combination Technique is in the Character's affinity then the stamina drain of the tech automatically reduces by 1/4. The technique is learned/earned through the custom ability quest above.

it doesn't say how many customs you can make in a single package combo so I was wondering how many you could make, like how many you could make for a combo of melee and fire, etc.

@ rune
- i'm confused. why wouldn't an oni be able to use weapons?
- the number of pckages combined into a custom dun really matter i don't think? what custom are you trying to get approved?

I'm talking about like a custom melee weapon with bonuses and what not. I was just wondering, was messing around with some custom tech combo ideas last night though I don't meet the requirements to make one yet I was drawing up some ideas for when I do, here they are.

Dark Blade of Corruption
- Combo: Bushido/Swordsmanship + Demonic Arts
- Info: Demonic energy swirls around the users hands and extends out to cover the entire length of the sword they are wielding the dark energy fuses with the blade temporarily, imbuing it with the power to curse anyone it touches.
- Effect: Curse
- Drain: Mode lasts 1 post per level
- Duration: Medium

Dark Blade of Decay
- Combo: Bushido/Swordsmanship + Demonic Arts
- Info: Demonic energy swirls around the users hands and extends out to cover the entire length of the sword they are wielding the dark energy fuses with the blade temporarily, imbuing it with the power to poison anyone it touches.
- Effect: Poison
- Drain: Mode lasts 1 post per level
- Duration: Medium

Dark Blade of Sloth
- Combo: Bushido/Swordsmanship + Demonic Arts
- Info: Demonic energy swirls around the users hands and extends out to cover the entire length of the sword they are wielding the dark energy fuses with the blade temporarily, imbuing it with the power to paralyze anyone it touches.
- Effect: Paralysis
- Drain: Mode lasts 1 post per level
- Duration: Medium

those dun look too bad

So I would be able to make all 3 if I met the requirements?

prolly, i'd have to rev when u request it when you get to the point where you can
minimal thinkage!

can special techs (possessed) Be learned with Texp?

no techs can be learned w/only texp. you can trade 2 texp for 5k exp like once or twice a week. that's what ppl do. so you can basically do anything w/that 5k exp you trade it in for.

K thanks

Rejection
TEXP: 6
The ability to reject binds easily on contact so long as the caster's control level of this technique is higher than that of the opponent's bind.
Effect: anti-binding strength is Fierce

This tech seems like it might be passive since it says on contact.

Quote :

Chaotic Familiars
TEXP: 5
Summons nether half-animal demons (i.e. wolves, foxes, snakes) attached to the user's back that can be used to attack an enemy or absorb an attack. The number of familiars that can be created increase as the technique is trained.
Effect: damage is High, guard buffer is Low, # of familiar = 1 per level

Since with each level you gain one additional familiar, would you be able to use all 5 to each block part of an attack to add up to 5 total guard?

ya that's fine for now

Alright. Here is another one for you.

Quote :

Dark Barrier
TEXP: 7
The caster projects a protective sphere of dark energy around the caster that buffers damage.
Effect: guard is Strong, lasts for 1 posts per level or until broken

Effect: damage is High, guard buffer is Low, # of familiar = 1 per level

Could these two spells be used to make a stronger shielding spell? Like Dark Barrier cast first, since it lasts X number of posts. And then Chaotic Familiars cast at full power, if you can, to create a barrier that has a guard of 8 total.

ya, i'll let that slide until kaz does somethin to make me regret it

buwhaahahahahahah, Alright ^^. Here is another....

Area Purification
TEXP: 8
Both palms thrust out extracting streams of sutra cards from the caster's clothing or sleeves to cover the terrain and negate non passive Magixal and Possession techniques.
Effect: drain is Fierce, area = 10 ft per level

Would this continue to drain after it has been cast, or does it just do a single drain and last.... continuously? I have been wondering this since it has been used against one of my characters >_>
