Meh. It's workable.

How does the experience/the enjoyment of JumpChain compare to regular CYOA?

>>47651424
It's more extreme in both directions.

Higher highs and lower lows.

>>47651484
Nah, their shitstorms are even dumber,

>>47651484
Get it, get it, go until you get it right.

>>47651424
Regular CYOAs are finite.
Jumpchain is only limited by the collective imagination of the entire human race.

We have almost 600 jumps and I can already think of like 5 IPs that haven't been done yet that would work as jumps.

>>47651484
I find that it's easier to actually care about Jumpchain, because your choices will carry on to the next story. If you are horribly traumatized in one CYOA, it will carry over rather than fading into nothing as you close whatever page you were doing it on and moving on to create a new character in the next CYOA. While there are some differences between Jumpchain and CYOA that are cultural and rule based, that's the most major difference in the experience.

I've been out of thread for a bit, any updates on the Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura jump?

>>47651424
Well, I found it holds my attention a lot more. Purely due to the sheer number of jumps to choose from/get through.

As you move through the jumps it's good to get the feel of character progression, which you don't really get in a regular CYOA, since they're almost always standalone.

This thread tends to shout down a lot of broken stuff. Last time I looked a CYOAG serously there was a popular one a lot of people were posting builds for and they were all pretty similar because there was one power that let you acquire the abilities of others once you'd killed them, and compared to that the other options had no growth, and because it was its own thing, nobody really had any motivation to balance it.
Whereas each jump (theoretically) should have an internal balance, and at the very least a vague balance with other jumps (mostly in that powers which would invalidate/trivialise the rest of the chain should be kept post-spark).

It includes an absolute ton of my favourite settings, even some really obscure ones, and because I know the lore for them, it's easier to connect how my Jumper would experience them rather than doing, say, the Space Opera CYOA which great as it is, has little lore.

So I guess it boils down to "/cyoag/ is more about the build, and /jc/ is more about what you _do_ with each build".

Oh, wow. Someone was actually looking forward to that? Well, okay then. I'll give you a brief overview of my progress.

+ The Universal Law of Magick and Steamworks is finally written to a point where I don't want to hit it with rocks. After a lot of deliberation back and forth on my part, I gave a blanket exception to Out of Jump Powers. It just saves me from having to answer questions on it forever and it makes things a lot easier on the Jumper.
+ Backgrounds are cemented, but not fully written. There's a separate route for Drop-Ins, while everyone else gets to pick a Race and Background for free. Backgrounds are done and come with a variety of positives and negatives. They also determine your Discounts and Penalty. (Penalty being a Skill or Ability that costs 50% more to take.)
+ I've started working on the Spell Colleges, but it's slow going. I've got to adapt a lot to make it useful, while still sticking to the source material.
+ All Abilities and Skills are going to follow a 200, 400, 600 point tiered buying system. Buying the 600 CP tier automatically gives you the lower two. I have /not/ gotten all of them written out by any means.
+ Both Drawbacks and Items have very little, if anything, finished yet.

I'll admit, I hit a bit of a brick wall. It was a lot larger job that I initially planned on, but I got ambitious. Right now I'm taking a bit of a break from it to finish up the Zootopia Jump, then I'll be back on it. Promise.

In Worm do Doormaker portals stay open of their own volition or is your shard unconsciously expanding energy to keep them open?

Seriously though, I have no idea. If you want my two cents, I'd say those scenarios would be locked off if you stopped the Cataclysm. Then again, you could always just say that the Cataclysm happened anyways, just differently. Of course, I'm not the Jump Maker, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

>>47652101
Going by canon, they take energy to keep open. Not very much energy, though, unless you're making literally thousands of them at once like Taylor did you're not going to burn out anytime soon. Also, your shard isn't packed up in travel mode, unlike Doormaker's, so it can refuel itself properly and is therefore even less likely to run out.

>>47652101
I think they all vanish when he burns out so the latter. Post jump you don't have a shard though. It may be they become tied to you in a way, so you might get tired keeping tons of them open.

>>47652061
Short Answer: Unless a particular event is declared as inevitable by your scenario then it’s not inevitable. Which is to say that if you ducked the Cataclysm, see below, but your scenario doesn’t require the Cataclysm then you’re good. Just assume the cities mentioned rose to some comparable level of prominence for whatever reason.

Long Answer: Regardless of what you did in Ansalon, the main continent of Krynn, you may not have stopped the Cataclysm. The Dragonlance series focuses damn near completely on the continent of Ansalon. The other continent on Krynn, Taladas, gets next to no mention or support. It’s neat and interesting, but it just doesn’t get love. With that in mind, and with the caveat that I’m not dictating to you what happened on your jump, consider this:

There is information in the Taladas lore that the Cataclysm was partially the fault of events happening on Taladas. Yes, all the main DL stuff says Kingpriest Kinpriest Kingpriest. But Taladas, which is on the same planet and is under the same metaphysic, was involved in some serious fuckery at the time too. Its kinda vague and LotR’ish: dark wizard, armies of light, etc, etc. Whatever it was, I’ve found a few throw away lines here and there that seem to hint that the gods of Krynn, which have different names on the continent of Taladas, sent all those meteors because of Taladas and Krynn.

Anyway, make of that what you will. The short answer is my ruling, as such, the long answer is just to chew on.

>>47644891
Pretty much. I imagine you could deliberately fail by actively screwing with things (e.g. exploding the Inn when everyone's in the common room, or Soth's parents before he is born) but otherwise the rails are there (in the case of Our Hero, until the first miracle of the Age of Despair).

Jumpers! What are the best ways to increase my intelligence? What about wisdom?

>>47652250
Ring of Increase Intellect from D&D
Ring of Increase Wisdom from D&D

Is there a way to reverse engineer something purely magical if, post spark, I, say, visit a particularly interesting fanfic universe (I'm reading some HP Fanfiction, and there's something in it that, well, its really interesting).

Its not technomancy, per say, but its being treated something similiar to it. The story, if anyone is interested, is called Not Normal by Radaslab, and no, the author is not going to update it anytime soon (been three/four years since he updated, so, that ship has sailed, sadly...)

>>47652250
I think Rick and Morty has the most powerful intelligence boosting perk in the chain, but personally I just take every single one I come across.
As for wisdom, take one of the really old backgrounds, like the ones from Smite, Darksiders, or Lord of Light.

>>47652269
Would I have to continue wearing them to retain their benefits? Also, how much of a boost is it?

>>47652250
Neverwinter Nights has Perks for that. So does FR. Demon's Souls has an alright one for intelligence. Hellsing has a neat low-level one, though its effects are nonsensical if you take its writing at face-value. DC has the Mortal line, and Marvel can get really silly if you go for the Reed Richards build (Brains+Brains+Brains+... until your budget is out), the Genius capstone from Teen Titans is kinda vague but it's a swell start, pretty much all Peak Human perks should boost your mind a lot, though if you don't consider them to stack together in order to make you Peaker Human then they lose all worth almost instantly.

>>47652288
Dark Wisdom from Overlord lets you recreate any spell you see with a bit of research, and also recreate spells from other magic systems.

>>47652242
Mainly I was thinking of Scales in Balance and 11th: Our Hero.

I guess it can be argued that the gods would leave because of my defiance for stopping it as well, and Taksis would try to come back anyway, but she'd need to find some other way when Istar was never sunk.

The second one is a bit iffier, since it definitely has the gods coming back and all that. I'm worried how me being around would effect that. Though isn't the dwarf in the party actually Reorx? If he ever learns who I am I imagine it'd be quite the funny reaction since gods do not take to admonishment well.

>>47644891
>It seems to me that it is impossible to fail 11th: Our Hero or Black Roses Never Wither from Dragon Lance without dying. Is that true? It seems like they are both just situations that you are forced into and have to survive.

More or less. Those two modules toss you into a story, or provide you with a prompt, and challenge you to survive. The idea is to give you a DL-style adventure that you have to adventure. You have to go out and deal with what’s going on in the world instead of doing your own thing.

>(Though that could still be quite challenging for an early chain jumper, seeing as they are a war and death knight respectively).
That was what I was going for with the difficulty levels in the modules. I assume that the Low level ones are survivable for an early jumper. They’re a challenge, yes, but it’s about giving something to play with on Krynn. The Medium jumps represent things that the average MC-hero has had to deal with. The difference between the jumper and the MCs being that the jumper doesn’t have plot armor. So the younger jumper will need a good build and a bit of luck to survive, whereas the mid and older jumpers can use their in jump stuff and out of jump skills and perks to help them through. The High level stuff was representative of things done by the handful of big archetype characters that shaped DL’s mythology and requires a good amount of out of jump power to survive.

>>47652362
Oh wait nevermind I misread and thought you were talking about the perks

>>47652250

>>47652250
There are perks all over for both, but Fight Harder AND Smarter from Green Lantern TAS will let you get smarter by getting stronger.

28 INT and 25 WIS

no idea what that means though

>>47652529
18 is the absolute human maximum.
14 Strength is body-builder tier

>>47652355
Yeah, you can always count on capriciousness from D&D gods if it suits plot. As for why? They could have come to some sort of cold war’ish détente where they backed off to let mortals run things for a bit. Sure, the Cataclysm was stopped by someone suggests that it was empowering the mortals that cause this problem so now, blah blah blah. Something like that is plausible. Then you can do the dragon bit the way it was played in the books. Takhisis and the evil dragons steal the good dragon eggs and make the good dragons swear to leave Anasalon for the Dragon Isles.

Those are just suggestions, but hopefully those help.

>spoiler
No, he isn’t. Though his bro-score is high enough that his place in the afterlife is right next to Reorx. He hands out, whittles and drinks.

>>47652447
Yes and no. Sometime during the Age of Mortals the Kender do get a kind of buff and some racial abilities from Paladine. Tasselhoff, the Kender that’s most involved with the main plots of the two big trilogies, always buddies up to Paladines avatar, and Paladines avatar is always cool to him. So there are hints of something along those lines in the narrative. However, it’s more a game mechanic than anything else. I didn’t include it because it’s way at the end of the world canon, it’s a blurb in the Age of Mortals supplement, and for balance I’d have to change a bunch of other stuff that happen with the Kender. I just went with the classic Kender that are seen throughout the vast majority of the DL canon.

>>47652529
Twice as smart as an average human.

>>47652547
That depends completely on the edition.

>>47652582
This anon might be right >>47652583 and it depends on the edition.
But 20 in a Stat is and always has been significantly more than just "twice as smart" or "twice as strong".

>>47652609
10 is average and 20 is super genius legendary arch-mage might ascend to godhood or rule the planet tier wizard. So yeah, definitely more than double.

>>47652609
>>47652642
In 3x a normal human can roll 18 to start, and every four levels you can increase one ability score so you can go considerably higher than that.

I'm looking at the Unlimited Colors scenario in the new Kamen Rider jump and it locks your non-Kamen Rider perks and items. My question is this: can I use my Kamen Rider Black RX Bio-Rider and Robo-Rider forms alongside the new Drivers, or would I have to swap between Kamen Rider forms if I want to actually use my old stuff?

>>47652668
Yes you can. 18-20 is still supposed to be the best of the best. It's just that not all geniuses are equal.

It's a jump, not the system. You don't have to assume fighters suck.

>>47652751
Dragonlance is based on, but is not under the literal rules of, 3.X D&D. All of the characters are useful in the novels, not just Raistlin and Goldmoon.

>>47652821
Fair enough, but unless I start making shit up, going caster still seems miles better in terms of getting shit done myself and being self-sufficient than going martial. Then there's the big fighty Capstone for Warrior being partly-suicidal in how it works.

>>47652897
Well, the jump is doing a bad job of making it seem like that's the case.

>>47652529
Assuming 3.5 edition, standard adult human NPC ability scores range from 3 to 18 based on a 3d6 roll (if you're not using the roll system), so the odds of a person getting an 18 is 1 in 216. An older human can get +2 int, so a 20 is possible, but...

tl,dr; an Int 20 would in theory mean that if you and 215 other people were plucked at random from Earth, you'd be ~99.9% guaranteed to be the smartest person in the room.

>>47651989
Omnitool has pretty good storage. Idk how much, but considering they can do shit like hack anything in realtime, and bunch other stuff.

Lantern Power Rings are like massive computers in a tiny ring form. They have an AI that basically tells you anything and everything you want to know.

>>47652250
For an early/initial direct boost to base you can go symbiote as a Grey Matter Transfer and get their reward:

>Gray-Matter Transfer - Your Host gets their mental faculties back, if they didn't have them already, and yours are increased up to what they could be as a Symbiote, without the benefit of Berzerker OS, unless you bought it. You both keep any abilities you bought or learned throughout the time you were here, and your Host gains any skills you know how to use that could be taught and/or learned; they've rubbed off on your Host since you shared a brain for a long, long time already.

Which buffs you up to the intelligence level of a quantum bio-AI, with absurd processing if you took Berserker OS.

Not that anon, but amongst other things? Since a Page of Void knows things through building an identity out of them, abilities that are dependant on or extensions of one's identity would probably undergo.../interesting/ changes.

For one thing, you'd simply have A LOT more fuel to power Soulfire with. Never mind what the ramifications of partly altering its' fuel source would be. Especially if said fuel source includes an opponent's machines, homeland, ideals and possibly the opponent itself.

For another, if one had the ability known as You Do Not Exist from Gunnerkrigg Court one could vastly increase the breadth of how extreme one could change form by identifying more exotic forms as part and parcel of their identity.

There's also the issue that one would likely have great influence through comprehension-assimilation over entities that do not, strictly speaking, exist properly. This doesn't sound great on paper but then you'd be surprised at how many people fall prey to Fingerkings or Hivers or Goetic demons every day.

If one had a style of alchemy that produced resources from nothing, like Minecraft's Equivalent Exchange, a style of magic that gives form to what has been analysed, such as Type-Moon's Projection or the relevant HSDW equivalent it might be possible to synthesise materials unimaginable in normal circumstances.

Being trapped in an identity-sublimating effect such as Instrumentality or the Infinite Tsukuyomi would be much less hazerdous, as through identifying with the effect one can understand and reject it.

As sympathic magic is partly based on the abstract relationship between people and their things, identifying in abstract with /everything/ would grant a LOT of metaphysical leverage to doing basically anything with it. Most likely more in the way of defence. It would be quite difficult to make a voodoo doll out of someone who is, in some way, an abstract extension of the world you live in.

>Sorry if this is a dick question to ask, but
Question’s a question, don’t sweat asking me something if it’s about one of my jumps.

>is there a point to going Warrior or Rogue if I actually want to fight and adventure myself instead of diplomancing/warring (as in, being a leader and having others fight for me) my way to success?
Having said that, I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for to this question. I guess there’s as much a point in doing that as anything?

I made the jump to represent the setting, and when I’ve included crunch because I’ve done so because I know some people really want that. So, by crunch, fighters in 3E+ are on balance worse off than casters. There’s a little more balance in that respect in 2E, but that’s neither here nor there. Having said all that, though, I don’t see jumpchain as a tabletop game. So there’s no reason that you can’t adventure as a fighter if that’s what you want. My goal was to provide you with a set of options wherein you can figure out what your time on Krynn would look like.

If you’re talking straight power game, though? An inexperienced fighter will take down an inexperienced caster, and an experienced caster will take down an experienced martial. That’s a generality, but it’s fairly representative of what’s what. I consider the jump balanced, because you can flesh out builds for the various trees. I consider it representative of the setting because it allows you to do what characters do in the setting.

What would you like to see that you aren’t seeing or is there something you’d like me address that I haven’t here?

The US isn't terribly special.

Neither is Japan by default, when it's not being a nexus of supernatural activity. Which happens a lot more often than the US, oddly enough.

We probably have, but it's not terribly interesting to write memoirs about.

We mean technically we effectively took over the US in Metal Wolf Chaos but that was only beacuse Richard was so busy being crazy he signed all the forms and handed over all the codes that let us actually run the country, so yeah. Actually, that's a great metaphor for our approach to conquering America-there's all this crazy robot dickwaving going on outside, and meanwhile we're just doing our thing in the Oval Office slowly accreting power from behind the scenes, while other people get on with the grandstanding.

That’s how I approach it. I’d add on the additional rider that just because X can’t take down Y doesn’t mean that X is useless or X sucks. The right tool for the right job and all that.

I try to go more for narrative than for crunch, yes.

>>47653018
Yeah, there are some pretty great examples of knights bringing down things that are much bigger than them. Doesn’t always end well, but when you’re stabbing giant gods it rarely does. Legend is base off of those guys.

>>47652922
Caster is better solo, but with caveats. It takes longer for a caster to be able to solo. An martial can solo fairly early on, a caster soloing early in his or her career will likely not have a career. With one or two exceptions, it’s assumed that reaching the pinnacle of power for a caster takes a lifetime. Reaching the martial equivalent is much faster.

If the jump fails at showing how everything shines, that’s on me. That I suppose is part of the problem with trying to juggle something that has a lot of gaming material, spanning multiple editions, and runs of novels. Like said, I know some people /need/ crunch and others want as little of that as possible. All in all, I try to keep things as close to the canon and material as possible. I don’t want to OC the setting. So part of that means that I have to assume some of the baggage of the setting, which includes some of the weird bits about how classes balance against one another. Or, as is this case we’re discussing, potentially don’t balance against one another.

>>47653128
Well, I usually just introduce post-scarcity technologies to the world at large; how governments react to that is on them. Worlds with a nation recognisable as what I'd consider "The U.S." are generally worlds where it responds sensibly.

But I guess it does depend on whether taking non-lethal steps to relieve certain officials of their station (so that the country can choose a new one) counts as forcefully taking control of the country.

>>47653052
Okay, I've tried writing this big thing explaining my thought process, and it all ends up being rambling nonsense so I'm just gonna spout my opinion without explaining why I hold it.

In their current state, there is literally no reason for me to ever acknowledge the Warrior or Rogue origins exist let alone take them, as the Arcane and Divine origins benefit the Jumper's nature as a self-sufficient world hopper much more. This is even before you account for the fact that one of the Warrior Capstones is partly self-defeating, and the incredible direct effects the Divine and Arcane Capstones have.

>I made the jump to...
I can accept that.

>If you’re talking...
>>47653196
That's also a good point, but the fact that you allow the Jumper to simply get power instantly instead of working for it undermines the entire idea for me.

>>47653252
Dude, 10 is the _average_ for the standard human. It's what the DM uses when they can't be arsed to roll for every single damn NPC the PCs meet on the street. Did somebody touch your dice or something?

>>47653473
What kind of shitty GM rolls for the NPCs? Rolls for PCs are acceptable for a touch of randomness, though there are other systems in place.

A Good GM decides what they want the NPC to be like, and builds the stat-block around that. Which is more work than rolling some fucking dice for it.

>>47653326
Not in 3.5 it isn't.
>Determine each score by rolling four six-sided dice, ignoring the lowest die roll, and totalling the other three.

3d6 is for ordinary NPCs, 4d6 then drop the lowest is for ordinary PCs.

>>47653458
I think you just need to accept that you personally prefer arcane perks this time, and that not all perks are going to suit you always, and that you have inherent bias against martials in DnD settings.

>>47653458
How is Legend self-defeating? It says that you're pretty much going to win unless you die, even if it's costly. It doesn't say you have to bear a cost to victory, it just means if you would ordinarily have been guaranteed to lose you can still win at a cost.

>>47653506
Sure, that's fine for a few NPCs. I was more referring to when the players start interrogating every single NPC in the village because they've fixated on some thing utterly unrelated to your intended plot.

>>47653473
Dude, the average human's class levels are exclusively in peasant, noble, or warrior.

>>47653458
You're entitled to your opinion, but most of us disagree with you.

>>47653563
Well, maybe in theory, but in practice I haven't seen any Fighter or Rogue builds...

>>47653553
And those peasants aren't going to have stats significantly above or below the average. That farmer isn't going to fucking have 18 anything. Not even 14.

>>47653473
We can actually use carrying capacity to measure exactly how stats correlate to real world people. 18 strength means you're as strong as a professional bodybuilder. 22-23 strength is steroid users who hold world records. I assume the other stats scale similarly.

>>47653527
The DnD system is what has a bias against martials, and perks are explicitly tied to that system's mechanics. Of course none of the other DnD jumps try to rebalance things to fix that, so there's not much point in trying to force it here either.

>>47653602
Unless they're a retired adventurer. You gotta be careful about those.

>>47653616
>perks are explicitly tied to that system's mechanics
Now you're making up bullshit. I've read the jump and levels are only mentioned as an abstract for people interested in them. Otherwise it's entirely fluff.

>>47653594
See every jump ever. People like magic and usually take it, and keep in mind that lots of us don't post our builds.

>>47653660
People only ignore magic if they can take science perks.

>>47653527
You're probably right about the first, honestly, but I went Martial in Neverwinter Nights and Swordsage in FR.

>>47653536
>Not entirely fluff. I based it on some of the bigger epic heroes who do take down gods, dragons, and other big shakers. However, and that’s why I worded it the way I did, none of them survived. So there’s always a chance for success, but if you push too hard then that success comes at a price. Also note that it says victory, and not kill or destroy. You might just inflict enough damage for a thing to be sealed back into its MacGuffin or banished. Both of those are canon examples of victories, they did what they set out to do, but they came at the cost of the life of the hero and his allies.
From 4plebs. It's not like Epicure said that you'll die instantly if you try to make the most of it, but I'm not going to risk my life to keep my swording theme when I could just become a reality warping meister of magic/super pope.

>>47653563
First, suck my dick, sugarlips. Second, I might believe you if I see more non-Companion martials. Konata's the only Jumper I've seen going Rogue.

>>47653458
If you are looking at it as pure power and mechanics, I would largely agree with you that Divine and Arcane are better. However, not everyone jumps purely for power and not everyone who jumps this jump will want the experiences associated with being a wizard or a cleric.

This, I think, is the problem. To make it looks like you’re reducing this to hard quantification of power, and that’s not how I built it. I built it to provide a variety of experiences and offered the setting-appropriate tools for those experiences. Making sure that there was end-game power parity was not part of my design philosophy.

So I think it’s just a difference of opinion in what a jump should offer. Unless you see something else?

>>47653527
If that is the case, he wouldn’t be alone. Whether its true or not, and again I think it depends on the edition, its repeated enough that it has a life of its own.

>>47653536
He’s probably referring to an earlier thread where I discussed the high end of what Legend does. It’s based on a couple of characters, knights both of them, one of whom pinned a goddess and forced her to leave the plane and another who wounded Chaos enough that it was able to be resealed. In both instances the knights died, but by the same token look at what they were fighting.

I explain Legend as making the impossible possible without removing the consequences of doing impossible things.

Does that make sense?

>>47653594
True, but we don’t see build posts in this thread like we used to so it’s hard to get a good gauge of what people are or are not doing with the ump.

For me it’ll be a tough decision as to whether I go Wizard or Knight, as those were my favorites from the series. It’s about the ride for me more than the destination.

>>47653684
That text you quoted pretty much echoes what that anon is saying.

>>47653695
>he wouldn’t be alone
He is alone except for one person who thinks your jump is like FR because he didn't read it.

Was there a gantz update? and can someone post it if there was.

>>47653678
>>47653660
>I ignore magic all the time in favor of punching the shit out of things.

I see plenty of builds that ignore magic, not even in favor of Science perks.

It says you can put two ranks in your ruling Arcana while putting one rank in your non-inferior Arcana for free. Does that mean as an Obrimos, I can put one rank in Prime and Forces, with one rank in Spirit for free?

>>47653843
Not the jumpmaker but I think you could get two in prime, two in forces, and one in Spirit.

>>47653701
...Alright, poor choice of words.

>This is even before you account for the fact that one of the Warrior Capstones is (to a small extent) suicidal
Is this clearer?

>>47653695
I suppose that's right. I just can't justify trying to be a legendary hero of the sword who fells armies and giant monsters to myself in this situation, since before going here I'll possibly have seen multiple versions of the Pokemon universe, a place where big explosions cause superpowers, and a space opera. Why would I enfeeble myself and invite unnecessary risk, when for all I know, the next place I'll be going to has Conan/Hercules-type heroes be the name of the game.

... why would I?

The USA's major claim to fame is that they're big and powerful and they're not shy about waving their dick about it. But that's really about it. That, and the wide range of cultures.
But they're hardly the worst, or the best country. The only reason to conquer or destroy them is fanaticism or to prove your dick is bigger, and, quite frankly, considering the levels jumpers get to? I'd be DISAPPOINTED if you stopped there.

I mean, unless you're taking over just because you genuinely like it and want to help out, but that doesn't really fit the tone of the question.

Anyway, the closest I ever got to taking over America specifically was in Squirrel & Hedgehog, where I seized command of the military because Keoteo was incompetent.
Mostly because I took the drawback that rendered him incompetent.
But, details!

For that matter, I don't think I've ever taken over Japan, either. Generally I don't care a lot about politics unless it's the focus of the setting.
Like in Gate, where I sided with America out of spite.
Or Squirrel & Hedgehog, where I sided with America out of spite.

I also spent most of West Wing getting absolutely hammered all the time.

I won’t try to dissuade you, you should jump this however you want, but here’s something to consider.

We’ve talked about how silver dragons are humaboos. They have this obsession with mortals and they spend the majority of their lives polymorphed hanging around with humans and elves. So there’s this one silver dragon, Silvara, who spends her elder years as a Knight of Solamnia. She is, far and away, the most powerful creature in the knighthood, either polymorphed or not, but she spends her days slugging it out next to her brothers and sisters in arms. She does it because to her the jobs worth doing and she wants to inspire people.

That’s a reoccurring theme in Dragonlance. Big honkin immortal beings disguise themselves as mortals, adventure along with mortals, in order to guide, inspire and assist.

Now I know you said that you want to be self-sufficient. I get that. I won’t argue against it.

But if your pre-Krynn build is as powerful as you say it is, then you really don’t have to worry about enfeebling yourself. You wouldn’t be doing that at all. So if you really want to do a martial build, do a martial build. It’s viable and if you want that experience then you should go for it.

Or don’t and do a caster build. Either build archetype works.

Thanks for asking your questions.

>>47654022
>Can I take both Our Hero and Glass Pirates?
Yes.

>Could you make it allowable to take Party pre-module rather than post-module for Glass Pirates, so I can share the module with them?
No. Though if you want to buy in-universe companions then you could just grab the pirates you were adventuring with as your party.

>Oh, and the Drawbacks have "Precarious Port" while the Notes ....
Mother. Fucker. I swear one of these days I’ll get that thing error free.

Joke aside, how do Persona grow? Can they, eventually, learn to use every attack from their incarnations in every game?

>>47654305
I imagine they can learn a bit outside of what they normally would, since we're supposed to be on the level of the cast and some Personas would be quite boosted by that, like Nekomata or whatever.

>>47652924
I have a small thing to add here. NPCs can gain levels (usually in NPC classes) which can in theory go up to 20 or even further with epic level rules. I think it is safe to assume that for humans 18 represents the maximum raw potential intelligence. Further increases do to age or level are likely the results of refining one's intellect through learning and experience A 20 intelligence represents someone who not only has a tremendous natural intellect but has also refined it through schooling or life experience. They are likely the people who not only have an I.Q somewhere around Einstein level but also went to the best schools.

>>47654129
...That's not what I meant by enfeeble. I know I'm not going to magically lose my other powers because I chose to punch good and inspire others to greatness.

I meant that I can't justify depriving myself of potential power which could easily save my life in the future because I would have more "fun" cutting a man instead of calling up some magic missiles/meteor swams to end him.

There are perks that turn your Adventures into a series of books, movies, vidya, and TV shows.
In various different jumps, so it's not a bad idea at all.

I just didn't want to do it for Marvel. It wasn't the joke I was going for.

Though more than a small amount of my "4th wall break" stuff mostly involves looking at "the camera" and making an expression for "the viewers"

Is there a trope for bears.

Because I find that they're a recurring nemesis in my chain. From the Ursaring that tried to kill me for cooked Magikarp in Pokémon, to the Beartic I had troubles with in PMD, to the Bear Faunus I fought at the festival in RWBY, to fucking Lord Arctos in Redwall.

That's a recurring theme, he was using the "Stab-timestop" trope in which a character is stabbed by another, then those two proceed to stay still for a few seconds, with the stabee holding a shocked impresion before falling off.

I this case, he invoked ths trope so he could get within grabing distance to use his superstrength on Adam, and to eliminate the sword from the equation by having it stuck in hi torso.

Something we do in basically any world where we don't feel meaningfully invested in the major conflict:

Start up a mysterious restaurant that just sort of teleports from place to place. Serving impossibly delicious food from across the multiverse at very reasonable prices. Interior decor ranges from the baroque to the empyrean to the distinctly non-euclidean, but is always classy as can be. The drinks list includes everything from ambrosia to distilled dreams. There's a few arcade games over in the corner, including Ocean Hunter Guitar Dance Revolution 3-D: A light shooter where you defeat sea monsters by dancing and playing the guitar.

Many a protagonist, villain or just someone in the wrong place and time has stumbled into our restaurant and eaten the best meal of their life, only to never be able to find it again.

Well, we gave Rincewind a second meal on the house. If only because he'd earned it, and because really-what else are we going to use all those potatoes conjured out of nothing for?

Hey, Jumpchain! I distinctly remember a perk somewhere that let's you talk to trees. Was it in Origin: Spirits of the Past, or no? If it's another jump, which one was it?

>>47657475
Why talk to trees when you could talk to breasts?

>>47657475

A range of maybe 10 to 20 meters, limited to technology that can actual send and receive information, like modems, cellphones, walkie-talkies, etc. No special ability to bypass security systems except for what'd I'd be capable of normally.

I don't really see why I would do that, though. Seems counter-intuitive to Chaos's whole murderspree.
I have absolutely no illusions about what he's about. I looked the Chaos War up back when I made my first build and landed right on top of it.

My original plan, back then, was to get the Graygem, turn it into Materia or something, and then spend the entire jump in the desert doing research with Kuolema.
I don't really care about Dragonlance and find many of its plot decisions to be rather dumb.

But now I get stuff for helping knock it down like a sandcastle! Let's go all in! I'll make a blasted Mordor hellscape and have patrols and a bunch of scrying eyes and it'll be cool. There'll be a bigass tower in the middle of it like Kefka's tower, and I'll blast people with orbital lasers.

Maybe I'll finally make use of some of those Adversary perks I got from Actraiser! It's not often I get to play the role of destroyer! This'll be a͘͡͞ g̴͠r̵̨e̶̷̕at ̨͞͡e̕x͡͡p҉͢͝er͠͡i͘m̢̢e͠͠n̢t.
