If were are going to do stuff like that, Add some chicken boo. Where in the downtime between confrontations it blends in with some paper thin (ha) disguise that fools everyone but the jumper. Pointing it out (the chef says nothing but bwak and has yellow feathers!) makes people think you are crazy. And triggers an early fight if you push it.

>Can't morally justify to myself not using meta-knowledge and out of context powers to fix everything and prevent suffering
This is hurting my immersion far more than it has any right to do.

You could do what I do. Make a place where you hang out and do business, let word get out that you can solve problems, let the world come to you for help.

Jumpers! Which setting is typically your go-to for giant mechs and why?

Personally I've come to prefer Megas XLR because of the power and diversity in it's tech and also because it's a fun setting.

I know that feel, the best I could think was subtley empowering the protagonists and orchestrating events with crazy planning perks to make it so the villains get nothing worthwhile done and the protagonists sorta steamroll them, with minimum suffering.

I eventually gave up on being a good guy because of how much effort it is to do properly. Plus it would ruin my precious settings.

As long as you're vaguely well meaning you're a vaguely good guy and that's enough.

Honestly, if I'm going to do giant mechs? I prefer the Dragonzord from Power Rangers.

> But it looks like plastic crap.
That's a FEATURE.
It's full of TOKU POWER.

Selflessness and compassion are virtues and those who possess them should be respected. However, a lack of selfless compassion is not a sin. You're not obligated to help people in need. It's respectable to do so but you have no moral responsibility to help anyone unless you are the one who caused the problem to begin with. So realistically you can absolutely sit back and choose not to help people. There's nothing morally unjust about doing it.

Various Gundams. As much as I love super robot aesthetics, the greater potential for tech porn offered by real robot settings appeals to me more.

It depends on the severity of the suffering, but generally it's better to let most problems fix themselves. You're only there for 10 years, after all. They need to be able to fix shit on their own.

>Companions
Do they have a Background &/or CP Budget?
>Berk is the kind of place that you wanna live around strangers
DON"T wanna live around strangers.
>Annoying Twin
>They have all the abilities and skills you have, down to the perks
>they only have those abilities and perks from this Jump
mutual contradiction here. ALL abilities, skills, and perks at 1/10th power, or THIS JUMPS abilities, skills, and perks at 1.10th power. Which is it?
>Dragon
Presumably all 3 100 CP perks are free to make up the basic stuff needed to be a dragon. Might want to add a 100 CP Dragon Scales thing here for those that don't buy Ironsides.
>The Fabled…
Can repurchases instead add more Islands to make an Archipelago, instead of the ore stuff?
>An Isle in the North
>Dragon’s End
ditto.
Better Idea, maybe make purchasing your backgrounds island make the other islands also discounted? Also, Drop In needs an Island.

Seconded.
It helps that there's a Gundam for everything.
Want punchy robots? G Gundam.
Want Shooty robots? UN Gundam.
Want OP robots? Turn A Gundam.

Try doing a custom chain in which you get less than the usual 1000cp each jump? Heck, go hardcore and have all jumps become gauntlet jumps, you only get CP from drawbacks and you only keep a jump's purchases if you survive the jump.

>not Elite Edition

You disappoint me, OP.

>Do they have a Background &/or CP Budget?
Background yes CP Budget. Not so much.

>DON"T wanna live around strangers.
Meant for may not to be there.

>mutual contradiction here. ALL abilities, skills, and perks at 1/10th power, or THIS JUMPS abilities, skills, and perks at 1.10th power. Which is it?
Balancing ideas both. So really I wan't /JC's opinion on it.

>Presumably all 3 100 CP perks are free to make up the basic stuff needed to be a dragon.
First puchases yeah.

>Might want to add a 100 CP Dragon Scales thing here for those that don't buy Ironsides.
Nay there are fragile dragons and there are tough dragons. So the option exists.

>Can repurchases instead add more Islands to make an Archipelago, instead of the ore stuff?
They already do. If you by a different backgrounds Island it becomes part of the Archipelago, which I need to get aorund to fully writing out.

>Better Idea, maybe make purchasing your backgrounds island make the other islands also discounted?
If you want this kind of discount then do the Scenario at the bottom.

>Also, Drop In needs an Island.
The Center will be it.

>The Center will be it.
What's that? What about Drago's Harbor or Valka?

Add a Rule you have to take at least xxx CP of drawbacks in each jump.
Or start carrying over (lesser) versions of drawbacks into later jump to make things interesting.
Like Rain of Lacrima from Fairy Tale. Drop the part where it favors your enemies and make it random. Now when you enter a jump, Marbles containing your powers rain from the sky, some lesser versions, and some full versions. That means people in each jump who can challenge you. And making every world Magic High Tech Super Hero World.

I'll join the crowd and vote for 5. Anything with that long of a name has to be filled with crazy technology.

Honestly, it should be fine to take early. The Jump itself gives enough power to survive if you don't throw yourself in between the major factions or pick a hill to die on. I wouldn't recommend joining up with the redskins though. The good girls do eventually come out on top. Kinda.

AFWS in Ring of Red.
>"But Yoro! Those are barely mecha! Their top speed is less than a man can run and they're operated on liquid dinosaurs! They don't even fire lasers for God's sake!"
Yeah, that's part of what I enjoy about them. I like the Diesel-punk aesthetic. Besides, they make great bases to start tinkering and modifying.

No everything is about raw power after all.

>Or start carrying over (lesser) versions of drawbacks into later jump to make things interesting.
Doesn't that preclude him being moral?

It could also be a Light Novel.

Base that is a Fortress Island based on Fort Sinister and the Mazy Multitudes.

Giant Mecha are a bit unpredictable and silly, They only really are effective when your tech is higher level than your opponents to make up for the inefficiency. But they are cool, and sometimes you just want to bring giant robots into the world. But if you are going over the top, go full narm "And I'll form the head" Voltron style Mecha for everyone else. If you are just showing off and not sharing, 'regular' power armor with Pym Particles to change the rules of physics and just grow larger.

>The good girls do eventually come out on top. Kinda.
The only one who comes out on top in a Gainax IP is Gainax

On the topic of sekirei, how much durability would be needed to tank a hit from karabusa and/or miya?

And would that piss karabusa off, or actually make her like you some?

Could you fuck up Adamantium with FMA Alchemy?

>Balancing ideas both. So really I wan't /JC's opinion on it.
400 CP is way to much for only this jumps. This jumps only at 1/10 effectiveness should be 50 CP or something. Hell, you could give a twin all of this jumps perks at 1/10, and gain another 1/10 effectiveness per year with your help so he becomes regular power in the last year and 50 CP would still be ok.
>there are fragile dragons and there are tough dragons
ok

Not for 50cp, unless you wanna severely undervalue everything else on offer here. It'd certainly make any sort of other companion option that gave CP look unnattractive at best.

Can FMA Alchemy snap away galaxy clusters? If not, then you won't even scratch it.

This is true. They have some pretty wonly names.

Well, you're not wrong. But I still say it's survivable as a first Jump.

I don't see why not. As long as you know the chemical make up of it.

Yes. Adamantium's durability doesn't protect it against molecular manipulation powers. Transmutation should work fine on it.

Uh, but it does? It protects against everything from sledgehammers to reality warping, mang.

If I were to do it it would either me 50cp for 1/10th power perks on this jump only, or 1/10th power perks for all Jumps at 400cp

Wait, since when does Marvel Adamantium protect against and damage conceptual/cosmic stuff?

The last I remember it could still be melted and cut through with vibration weapons.

If you can tank Miya's attacks, Karasuba's will be childsplay. Because IIRC, Miya outclasses Karasuba. Canonically its said that if the two were to fight, half of japan would be wiped out throughout the fight. To tank Miya's attacks you need to be pretty fucking strong, as a shockwave created by her sword destroyed a battleship from a long range.

If you tanked Karasuba's attack she'd probably be quite a bit giddy, especially if you appeared as a human, considering she hates them. She's a battle maniac, so how you plan to handle that is up to you.

Depends. Proto-Adamantium? Just about always. Any other types? They don't.

Can SDK's purchased Aura's "swollen lifeforce" aspect eventually be reached with the free version?

Yeah as it states it's experience and training that allows one to achieve it. You're just buying in to it.

The Beyonder disagrees.

Glad to see if this is being worked on again.

Has it been asked yet, what happens if you take the night fury and red death perks? Is it just two different alt forms? Or a super special marysue red night fury?

Are the upgraded Companions required to choose from the Ronin or Bounty Hunter backgrounds?

FMA is all about altering the composition of something to make an effect happen. So, if you can manipulate a thing at all, and understand the scientific composition of what effect you're trying to do, it'd work.
Unless the thing in question is just straight up immune to science or alteration, but if that happens then you
A) Have bigger issues to deal with than alchemy, and
2) Have most likely run into something that nobody else can use either, so fuck it.

That was my first guess.
Heck, it's not really an LN, but my immediate thought was the full name of Hero BBS, which everyone shortens to Hero BBS, but is not actually in the actual title, because the actual title is long as fuck and involves moon language.

I figured it was just one of those series' whose title is a sentence.

I know that feel, too. It can be really hard to justify just sitting around making friends when you inevitably have the power to reshape the world on a Tuesday.

Personally, I like to make hobbies and do background shit. Mostly science. But it doesn't really interact with the rest of the world. That way I can feel like I'm "doing" something, when in reality I'm not changing much at all.

I'm like Little Washuu!
Except, y'know, not stuck in a harem anime.

No, it explicitly is not immune to reality warping. Nor is it immune to molecular manipulation, though it is resistant due to its durable atomic structure.

I don't think you should offer stuff from other jumps like this and I don't think it should be only 50cp, unless you're not going to let it grow beyond that 10th.

>Or a super special marysue red night fury?
This.

Yep.

It won't. Current revision is pic related by the way.

How does Muramasa differ from Juuchi Yosamu?

Can I assume a super saiyan can tank it? Or, failing that, a kryptonian?

Actually, can you rec something that isn't horrible expensive?

I was planing on introducing her to doom. And maybe helsing abridged.

So, I really don't get why Medusa, who's known for making statues, is a Rider class servant.

Journal Entry # 750411

So another strange world. I don’t remember Pokemon that well to be honest. I don’t think I got much past the old red and blue days. Still it was neat seeing them in real life. However I kind of feel bad about making them fight each other. This world makes more sense than most if you take out the fact wars are determined by glorified dog fighting. Though to the warriors credit the battles seem to result in serious injury very rarely.

We have started taking over other lands, mostly because most of them were dead set on taking my land and I needed to acquire stronger pokemon of different types.

Also we seem to be in the time of Nobunaga… Because reasons I guess. In addition to trying to conquer everything apparently he is trying to steal Pokegod. I don’t know why god is a pokemon here and why he would let his creations or himself be captured but whatever. Sometimes it’s just best not to think to hard about what you are doing and do it.

I am too tired to even be horrified by the implications that if I weren’t here some 10 year old boy would be capturing god.

>A superman radio drama destroyed the KKK's ability to recruit new members and revealed many of their secrets.
Reminder that as dumb as they are comics have done awesome shit.

In theory, because the pegasus is made from her blood.

And also because she fails to qualify for the other classes. I know she can be a lancer, but i quit playing FGO before they introduced her. Chances are she has divinity and doesn't qualify normally though.

What? Explain, this sounds awesome.

She's the mother of Pegasus. That's pretty much all the justification it has.

Could be because her legend is so closely tied with Perseus. Which is funny, because she hates him, enough to call him a "grown up Shinji". Going by Prototype, this is a blatant lie, but then again he did kill her, so...

Had to look for this warosu.org/tg/thread/S49832841#p49835858 because the question came up before. TLDR: It's really sharp but it's main thing is bypassing most spiritual and mundane defenses, whereas Juuchi Yosamu cut everything that isn't guarded by supernatural (In this case it means stuff like Magic but not spirit energy BS) means.

No, actually. It's not immune to reality warping or molecular manipulation. There have been numerous events that reveal that direct manipulation of its molecules is one of the few ways of easily destroying adamantium. And it has no more resistance to reality warping than steel does.

A 1946 Superman radio drama worked with a KKK infiltrator to bring down their mystique and mystery while simultaneously destroying their national credibility. It revealed many of the Klans secrets and broke the back of their recruitment.
Superman punched the KKK so hard the real ones felt it.

If her greatest feat of power is just cutting in half a Japanese Destroyer, A Super Saiyan would probably be the defense equivalent of overkill (overprotection?) as Nappa alone could take out a fleet of battleships. And it goes without saying that a Super Saiyan is several leagues above what Nappa's feats were.

Look up "Superman versus the Clan of the Fiery Cross". It was a radio drama, went on for sixteen episodes, where Superman fought a thinly-veiled reference for the Klu Klux Klan. It used actual details of the Klan's rituals, such as code words and secret ceremonies, and in so doing stripped the KKK of its mystique and revealed it for the pathetic hate group it really was. For a while, Klan recruitment dropped all the way to zero. They bounced back eventually, but never fully recovered, and it's believed to be one of the main reasons that the KKK no longer has the influence it once wielded.

Aren't DBZs kind of glass cannons, though?

Nappa is quite a bit stronger then even that.
Not really? They tank their own attacks plenty often.

From my understanding, it's the fact that it's a razor wind attack that's supposed to be impressive.

But yeah, saiyans are overkill, which is why it's one of my go to things.

Can I get a suggestion for something else capable of tanking miya?

I guess that settles the age-old question of 'who is the greatest superhero?' doesn't it?

Was that even a question?

No. They tank planet busters regularly, although their ki attacks massively eclipse their physical strength in terms of flashy destructive power.

Cap's always held a special place in my heart, desu.

In comparison to things such as Cap Heroes, yes. Speed is a bigger thing for them than durability.
However, they still have a considerable durability. Especially when fighting something of a much lower power level than themselves.

Be a Zeruel expy in Evangelion. One of the Angel capstones (can't remember what it was called. Indomitable?) makes you similar to him, grab and S2 Engine and the Dual AT Field thing and you should be able to replicate his durability. For reference, he took three Not Nukes and his AT Field was so strong, it didn't even slow him down. And when Rei hit him directly with a Not Nuke? There wasn't even a scratch on him. Grab some more soul empowering stuff, and you can be even tankier.

>Zeruel
Can't, busy screaming geometrically.

They still deal damage with their fists and take ki attacks though. Ki attacks have more power certainly but not so much they completely eclipse bare fists.

DBZ fighters are really durable right up until you can actually beat their defenses. Beating defenses does not require being as strong as your opponent, but if you are significantly weaker it's very difficult.
Unless they're an alien with some kind of regen they can't take hits from opponents even close to the same weight class well.
Piercing and Slicing attacks work very well too.

Ah, a man of taste, I see. Remiel is best girl.

Cape*

Get a really strong shield?
An Alpha or Omega level Material mutant gene (the one based off Colossus) from X-men movies.
Some of the high level durability that you find in cape world. Several "shrug off tank rounds" might do if they are talking about modern tanks (sabot rounds are insane).
Origin Spirits of the Past has a transformation that allows you to shrug off hits from the cannon round equivalent of the Gustav Schwerer.
Bubblegum Crisis 2032 has a pretty good durability perk that stacks with whatever race/background you choose from said jump.

I know. That's what I said.

Their ki attacks are big flashy explosions that destroy planets so it's easy to overlook the fact that these guys who tank these ki attacks still take damage from being punched in the face. It's not a matter of them being less durable, it's a matter of them being really fucking strong. It's just that their ki attacks are bigger and flashier so it's easy to misinterpret that as their physical attacks being weaker.

Theres not a lot of low cp ways to tank her attacks, all we know of Miya's combat ability that isn't told to us is the Battleship shockwave feat, we have no idea what actually getting hit by her sword entails, but it would hurt. I believe "You...Blocked?" from Battleblock Theatre should help, so long as you can see her attack, get some precog and reaction perks to assure it works.

Also I think GUNNM could get you all kinds of bullshit if you get to Zekka or Alita levels.

You could just go incorporeal also, something like a ghost form that she can't hit, but be wary of element forms since even Karasuba can somehow cut those.

...

...

I kind of think DBZ characters are using their Chi to create a force field (like aura in RWBY) They are even usually glowing when they power up. I think this explains how sometimes when they are surprised they can be killed by a mook with a gun shooting them in the back of basic form Freaza exploding a planet in their face despite the fact they are super saiyan god blue or whatever it is. They can tank hits they are ready for really well but surprise hits really seem to do a number on them. Of course my knowledge of DBZ isn't great but it makes sense to me.

1) Go to DMC, get Royal Guard style, and Git gud.

That's probably at least a little true.
Thing is goku shrugs off gunshots even when he wasn't ready to fight, so there must be at least some innate durability there.

The high tiers in basically any post-escalation Shounen series would shit all over Miya.

This is true. Despite Miya's 'enourmous' power levels, she cannot into shonen whatsoever.

She's too mopey.

You could pick up flying brick powers in PS238, but you couldn't half-ass it. Rank 4 might (?) be enough to survive, as it allows you to shrug off a hit from a battleship's main guns, but I suspect you'd need Rank 5 to be safe.

The Golden Age and Silver Age were really was a different time for comics huh

Feels like I missed something

Way back in dragon ball Goku and company were just inconvenienced by Bullets. They kind of hurt them a little but probably not even on the level of a bee sting, they were just more annoying to them then anything else. So yeah they do have some super human durability. However not enough to tank one of friezer's mook's blasters (I think they are power level 1000 or something) while unaware. So I think the vast majority of their durability is Ki based.

That's kindof true? There's an episode that's still present in Kai where Krillin throws a rock at Goku's head while they're chilling out by a river, because he figures he's such an awesome fighter that Goku will just snap it out of the air like it's nothing.

It smacks Goku hard in the forehead, leaving a red mark, and Goku screams at him like "OW JESUS WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT" while Krillin freaks out and apologizes.
So, yeah, there's a degree of intention behind it.

I mean, yeah, there's also moments where they get shot and just don't give any kind of fuck at all, not to mention all the times they get smacked into fucking mountains (props to Mr Satan for surviving one of those, by the way!), but there's definitely a ki aspect to it, too.
