So I was looking at the Godzilla jump, and it mentioned Toho Godzilla. Can someone give me a summary of the kind of stuff he could do, since he apparently makes things "super easy"?

Can I use Conjoined Conjures to overcome the Vancian limitations of D&D magic?

>>45118394
Mostly the same things as the Godzilla from the animated series, but better. He was bigger, stronger, had hotter atomic breath, and was way more durable. Seriously, don't try nuking him. Not only will it not work, he'll absorb the radiation and transform into "Burning Godzilla", who is a walking nuclear meltdown that when it finally does burn itself out will be reborn like a phoenix from any surviving gojirasaurs left in the world. Which...well, there probably aren't any in the animated series universe, so it would get rid of the threat of Godzilla eventually. Just at the cost of huge amounts of death and destruction along the way.

They're attracted to it, whether they feed on it or not is unknown. Probably not, though, since they've lowered the numbers of people and those potential negative energy so far.
Notably, they can learn, and older Grimm become more intelligent, even to the point of having strategy. They still try to kill everyone. Kind of sinks the "no agency, can't be evil" argument.

A comment from the last thread got me thinking.

Supposing that you were so inclined, how would you create your own magical girls? Say you jump somewhere without magic and you wanted to make a, or a couple, meguca. How would you go about doing it?

I dunno, probably Song Magic. D&D magic systems are powerful, but too shallow a pool for what you see a normal meguca do. One spell a day doesn't really work for someone who does magical transformations, uses energy blasts, etc.

So, yeah, maybe a combination of Song Magic and Bending.

No, Warlock is exactly what you want here. Though you might want to not tell them exactly how the thematics of the class are working.

Give RWBY Aura to young girls. Then send Grimm to kill them. Easy enough.
>>
>>45119488
I know the jump has a drawback that makes you act like that, but I can't recall anyone in the show who thinks that.
>>
>>45120230
One change I want to suggest, don't send Grimm after them.

Instead, use some other monster maker perk to create their enemies. This frees you up to take Resonate instead of Abyssal, letting you partially copy the Semblances of your magical girl students and set up the shocking reveal that you gave them powers and had them risk their lives in order to make yourself stronger.

>Warlock
Don't Warlocks suffer from the same silliness that Wizards do in respect to casting limits? The whole, you can cast 1 spell a day at L1, 2 at 2, etc?
>>
>>45120334
IMO I rather have Grimm then partial copies of semblances.

They're particularly adjustable depending on whether or not I want murder wolves, bloody crows, or motherfucking dragons.

That and I don't need to feed them.

How stable are Resident Evil viruses? If you can stabilize it so that they don't turn into tentacley pulsating meat monsters that'd probably be a good base to start from.

Especially if you take Crimson Saint to turn magic into tech, then Cobra-La Biotechnology to turn tech into biotech. Throw in some miniaturization perks so you can make your magic biomachines bacterium-sized, and you could make an infection that gives magic.

>Perk that can turn magic into tech
>Perk that can turn tech into biology
Are there any perks that let you turn biology into magic? You know, for completion?
>>
>>45120368
No. Warlocks don't have spells, they have incantations and an eldritch blast, neither of which have a per-day limit. Very appropriate class for magical girls, actually.
Also, wizards spells are much more common than one a day per level.
>>
Are there any perks that let you gain EXP and level up? The closest I can find is EXP Module from Borderlands.
>>
Does taking Supard as a race in Mushoku Tensei count as a drawback or could you just switch to a different alt-form right away to avoid the negative effects?
>>
>>45120642
Crimson Saint goes either way, and there's a perk in SCP that lets you reverse engineer the biology of strange things. So you could use that.
>>
>>45120825
Supard as a race isn't a drawback. The drawback version is green hair.

>One spell a day doesn't really work for someone who does magical transformations, uses energy blasts, etc.

Well, if you were granting magical girl powers, that could easily be something like being a tenth level wizard or sorcerer. That's a lot of spells.

But Song Magic is perfect for Magical Girls anyway, and there's less chance of them figuring out how to summon demons.
>>
>>45121550
>and there's less chance of them figuring out how to summon demons.
Just throw a planar lock on the area. Or better, grant them Warlock powers but don't give summoning.

How does norse runic magic work? You can pick it up in VS, and if you did could that be something to use?

Like, if you more or less tattooed a meguca with certain runes would that allow them to cast spells based off of those runes?
>>
>>45120150

Songstone isn't really a sonic weapon kindof thing.

It converts the emotional component of noise (the singer's feelings or thoughts) into physical energy/matter, but it doesn't do it immediately. It could do lasers and things though, but the best use would be with the standard Reyvateil or Organito methods.

It would probably turn telepathic power into energy as well.
>>
>>45121739
> How does norse runic magic work?'
Words have power. You can inscribe things with words to give them power related to that word (so 'horse' might make you fleet or good at carrying things). There are a finite amount of words available. Less than you think. That's about it.
>>
>>45121788
One of the raw components of songstone does just blindly output the sound you give it though, if cracked. It stores sound and since without the other materials it can't output it, it's explosive when damaged.
>>
>>45121840
If you had something that was magic conductive, do you think it'd be feasible to tat someone up with the respective runes and give them permanent access to those powers?
>>
>>45120642
I don't know, Metaphysical Biology?
>>
>>45121881
You don't need something that is magic conductive for Norse stuff. What matters is that you write the runes properly and with what amounts to good grammar. Basically in Norse Myth words define reality, by writing a thing you are declaring it to be true, even if it is factually false you are making it at least partially true. The better you write it the better it works.

Yeah, but that's more of a grenade type deal rather than a sound-wave projection effect.

Fire is offensive focused, Earth is defensive focused, Water is balanced, and Air is the wildcard (partially because the nomads refused to explore its combat potential.)

That's putting it very lightly, of course. Once you get into the specializations and such like sandbending things get more mixed.

Personally I wouldn't worry about duplication. If the way you write the lore and the jump is unique enough, and the content is accurate to the source material, even if it overlaps with another jump in the same overall "genre" it's still acceptable.

Just as you can't presume everyone will not take both of those jumps, you can't presume that people will take all both of those jumps, so it's better to simply focus on what the source material lets you work with and proceed from there.

The evil speedster will always be faster than you. Even if you're going 3rd speed of light, he's going half speed of light. It's a drawback for a reason. Potentially the villains have access to the full speed force so they're not limited by any means. They'll always be faster.

That's great, but that's not what that anon was saying. He's saying if you jump your speed to try to "pull a short stint of punching some smug shot in the face at 3000 mach" the smug shot will react to it fine and punch you in the face faster than that.

The easiest way to deal with the Speedster drawback is to have a companion with a whole different and as equally if not more powerful set of abilities as your own. Fucboi jumpers or those focused on companions can take similar drawbacks with pretty much no downsides. Meat shields are GREATTTTT.
>>
>>45124359
That's true. I don't see what the problem is.
>>
>>45124238
If that's what it takes for them to be faster than you, yes. That's what a drawback is anon, a challenge in return for points, not free points.

>no downsides
There's still the shame.

Flash out raced the Black Speedster, aka Death. He then outraced death past existence before turning back around.

It's a pretty tough drawback, but you can't brute force the villain. It took Firestorm + Flash (and Team Flash) + Green Arrow to fight Reverse Flash on even grounds. Then when they knocked out his speed, he still fought evenly against Green Arrow in hand to hand combat. That's saying something, considering GA is the Arrowverse's Batman pretty much.

Good and Evil are subjective terms.
The way they are described in D&D is closer to Altruistic vs Selfish
Liberalism has individuality and self interest at it's core.

Drawbacks aren't meant to kill everyone or be unbeatable. People are supposed to be able to think up plans and have methods to counteract them.
>>
>>45124707
Actually, one thing that a companion-focused build is fantastic at is letting your jumper get access to stuff without having to write from the perspective of someone with those abilities. Tech perks especially, but even just general mental boosting perks, a lot of professional fields and so on.

Though I thought up the idea, I myself don't have any companions with any abilities other then those I already have. The drawback itself is the most easy to deal with within a few jumps of starting if you play your cards right. Perhaps getting a companion to put you in a jar and then slotting you with something like Inventory of Steve would be the truly easiest way to deal with it, or some equivalent of. That, or some item specifically designed to kill them.

Remember it has to be interesting to the benefactor. If you're hiding behind Superman when Sinestro shows up. Then it's not very entertaining.

Also remember that villains are going to be fast. They'll probably know how to deal with super tough opponents. There's the infinity mass punch for a reason. Also villains aren't just one dimensional, look at Zoom. He kidnapped Harrison Wells of Earth-2's daughter. Zoom then used her as leverage against Wells to fatten Barry up like a Speedster Goose.
>>
>>45124921
The implication to "murder for your own gain" is that it does not, in fact, depend on the people. Obviously if the person matters to you personally you may have extra compunctions, even Evil individuals can have people they care about and do not wish to see harmed, but lack of regard for life in general is an Evil trait.

That's not an viable argument. It's never been a viable argument. Their interests would vary immeasurably in any one scenario with any two persons in the situation. I know there is only supposed to be one of us but to put a baseline on what interests them is not only saying "do things my way" but literally getting all but a handful of jumpers smited upon leaving the choice sections of [insert their first jump]. I'm not defending powergaming or whatever but the aforementioned is literally under these pretenses what would happen to 9X% of jumpers.

>There's the infinity mass punch for a reason. Also villains aren't just one dimensional, look at Zoom.
Yeah, I know I know not nearly enough to take the drawback. I'm not going to, but it needs to be fleshed out more to state what you're actually dealing with. If, say, you're dealing with all the evil speedsters from all the version of DC comics you'd have to be actually insane to take the drawback.

Sort of. It's not an instant thing, your defenses wear away over time when you're using it, very slowly if you have an active target, faster if you don't. It's basically just meant to keep you from keeping it on constantly. Instead you use it as a super mode to enhance individual strikes, that sort of thing.

Nah, the only way for the Russian revolution to turn out well would be for the German revolution to have succeeded. I'm sure there were more turning points for the Soviets that could have been capitalized on had a better administration existed (possibly Trotsky, possibly not- he was pretty arrogant and abrasive apparently), one that didn't involve the ideal of socialism-in-one country, or being super gung-ho about forced collectivization of peasants, but material conditions practically screwed the soviets from the start.
