You know what I just realized? I never actually got around to posting... Mechanics: Qualities The primary stats in Persona X used for determining success or failure are called Qualities. They are, in alphabetical order, Charm, Courage, Knowledge, Proficiency and Understanding, and all of them serve purposes both in and out of combat. Charm Plain (-1), Unpolished (+0), Confident (+1), Popular (+2), Enthralling (+3) A pleasant aura, a reassuring smile, an attractive face, a certain je ne sais quoi, all of these are possible expressions of a high Charm. Making friends is always easy for someone with high Charm, as is convincing them to do you a tiny little favor, or let something slide just this one time. With a low Charm, there’s something about you that’s just a little off-putting, and social situations are always going to be an uphill battle for you. In battle, Support is rolled with Charm by default, and it is the primary stat used for the Cajole tactic in Parley. Courage Timid (-1), Sensible (+0), Reliable (+1), Heroic (+2), Indomitable (+3) When something terrible happens, do you run away from the danger, or towards it? Courage is the will to stand up when your instincts and the world tell you to sit down. A high Courage will allow you to take risks you might otherwise not, while a low Courage could result in you hesitating at a crucial moment. Thoughts have power; Full Assault is rolled with Courage, as is the Threaten tactic in Parley. Knowledge Ignorant (-1), Informed (+0), Educated (+1), Clever (+2), Brilliant (+3) While high Knowledge is most obviously associated with your grades, it also represents reasoning ability, and can also play into spotting deceptions and falsehoods. Conversely, a low Knowledge can result in failing to connect the dots until it’s too late, or coming to false conclusions. With greater Knowledge, it also becomes easier to determine a Shadow’s strengths and weaknesses, both actively and passively. Proficiency Milquetoast (-1), Creative (+0), Skilled (+1), Adroit (+2), Extraordinary (+3) Blurring the line between mental and physical qualities, Proficiency is your creativity, your skill with your hands, and your ability to improvise. A high Proficiency will make you much better at thinking on your feet and performing certain kinds of tasks, while a low Proficiency is a sign of a rigid and inflexible mind. Magic comes more from the soul than the mind; Use Magic is performed with Proficiency by default. It will also increase your chance of performing a sneak attack. Understanding Indifferent (-1), Polite (+0), Thoughtful (+1), Compassionate (+2), Magnanimous (+3) There’s more to intelligence than facts and logic, and Understanding covers the other half of that equation. Being perceptive, judging situation, evaluating a person’s character, and keeping a cool head are all things made easier with a high Understanding. A low Understanding can result in insensitivity, impatience, and a lack of awareness both literally and socially. High Understanding will lower the chance of being the victim of a sneak attack, and increase your chances with the Parley tactic of Sympathize.

?̵?̴?̸,̸ ̶?̸?̵?̵,̷ ̴?̶?̷?̴ ♪ Persona 2: Innocent Sin - Normal Battle ♪ PMush Perfect posted:Pushing yourself the rest of the way off the ground with your weapon, you shift into a combat stance, glancing down at it only for a moment before you look back up at who or what tried to skewer you. You never got around to replacing that rebar pole, but Eiji's wielding what appears to be a pitchfork. Well, that makes sense. He seems to lean more into stabbing things, and you rely on your magic a bit more. At least from what you remember of those two battles you can actually recall. He does look a bit like an angry farmer about to chase down Frankenstein, though. > Gained Pitchfork! [75 Pierce damage, long] > Lost ¥3000. PMush Perfect posted:"That last one got you pretty good, you alright?" A quick glance to your side, and your eyes meet Eiji's. > 2d6+0 [Morale, Roll +Courage] = (3+3)+0 = 6 Failure! > XP Gained: +1 Soul [7/10] "Kumiko..." There's deep concern in Eiji's eyes, and you can tell that it's going to be in the back of his mind for a while. Is it really that obvious that you're just putting on a brave face? "Just hang in there a bit longer, okay?" > Consequence: Eiji's next non-Support roll takes -1 forward. PMush Perfect posted:"We gotta make this quick." Eiji's voice strains, threatening to shake, but he swallows, and it's under control again. "What's the plan?" You're thankful that you managed to figure out how to switch Personas before you passed out and woke up in the Velvet Room. It's jarring, switching to an entirely different mindset. Sigrun's blazing energy and passion fade into the background. In its place is a sense of strength and authority. Not only can you do this, but you will. Again wiping blood from your brow, you clench your fist, and feel the runes that once burned with fire now crackle with a tingling energy. "Come! Xiezhai!" > Kumiko switches to Xiezhai! [Resist: Elec] [Weak: Wind] [Immune: None] > 2d6+0 [Magic, Zio, +Proficiency] = (4+3)+0 = 7 Partial success! > Kumiko casts Zio on Eligor! > Kumiko's SP: 15/20 > Weak! > Dealt 100 Elec damage to Eligor! > Eligor's HP: 200/300 > Eligor is knocked off-balance! > Consequence: Next attack on Eligor takes +1 forward! It's awkward, compared to how naturally Sigrun's magic comes. The motion is stiffer, and behind you, you can sense the ram lower its head, shooting a jagged bolt of electricity over your head and into the Eligor's chest. Still, it's enough, and the horse's legs under it begin to stumble and rear, while its rider pulls at the reins to keep it under control. "Our turn!" Eiji's already charging forward. With his weapon, he has the reach to not risk getting immediately crushed underneath the horse as he thrusts up at its underside. "Freyr!" > 2d6+0+1-1 [Skill, Lunge, +Eiji's Courage, +Enemy Off-Balance, -Eiji Concerned] = (4+5)+0+1-1 = 9 Partial success! The weapon strikes home! All of the points on the pitchfork strike home, putrid ooze and dark smoke leaking from the wound. > Eiji uses Lunge on Eligor! > Eiji's HP: 300/350 > Dealt 125 damage to Eligor! > Eligor's HP: 75/300 Eiji leaps backwards out of range as the hooves come down, watching to see the results of his work. It's not quite enough to destroy the creature, but it is very, very close. Given what you know, a stray breeze could finish it off. The clock is ticking, though, and the Shadow has recovered enough of its poise to wheel around and begin another charge. Close as he is, you're concerned that it is Eiji that will bear the brunt of its wrath. You may have underestimated its intelligence however, as it is you, the source of its weakness, that the Eligor is gunning for. > Eligor attacks Kumiko! > Dealt 50 damage to Kumiko! > Kumiko's HP: ?̶?̷?̶/400 Oh hell, that hurts. Not as much as it did last time, it didn't have the strength for a full-force attack, but getting a point of metal catching against your arm is never pleasant. Do you at least have something protecting you? [1][2] Stop dancing with it and move, you two! If you're not off the tracks soon, the jotun will crush you both! "poo poo. He's right."

C B Ab D We deserve to look cool while fighting, and make a good impression on our future social-links. Plus we're new in town and can justify buying new clothes. Eiji's been living here a while, so can raid the family closets for stuff that should probably have been sent to a charity shop. As for combat tactics, Eligor is clearly a boss fight, so it's worth burning MP attacking his weakness. Hopefully that will finish him off, if not Eiji can either go for the kill, or react to the new trick that let it survive.

I'll make a proper post about it later, but generally speaking, party control options will be A) Full Assault (Use most suitable most powerful attack possible) B) Situationally-appropriate option (In this case, Conserve HP/SP) C) Support/Heal (as appropriate) D) Act Freely As your options open up, B may become more specific, or split into a new B and C. I don't want to overcomplicate combat, though. It's already pretty choice and stat dense for a CYOA. Edit: After doing some combat math, I think I'm gonna reduce Bandage healing to 100 HP in combat, 150 HP out of combat. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Nov 24, 2019 |

As long as enough stuff gets changed, we're probably good.I Our brain is a bit messed up though. Do we have a concussion? Are we channelling a forgetful Persona?

1: Bb. It's a machine, or at the very least, it looks like one. And machines don't like being shocked! 2: C. 3: C.

While Pmush and I are gonna wait to get into the nitty-gritty until after Sokkmimir is dead rn I'm gonna point out their appearance is based on a rotary snowplow train, otherwise known as a blower train. They're an older way of keeping train tracks clear in snow conditions, largely deprecated but still commonly used in Japan's many remote mountain passes because it's a nightmare to clear them any other way. 1.

1 Bb A snowblower train like this is probably diesel powered, so it's probably stronger against fire than electricity 2B get some buffs going 3B Knowing its weakness is most important to doing damage asap imo

Vote set! As there are several ties, but I have the time to write a post now, I'm going to resolve them with the best synergy. PMush Perfect posted:1] "Think you've got a third plan in that head of yours?" (Kumiko)

PMush Perfect posted:"Alright, Kumiko. You're two for two. Think you've got a third plan in that head of yours?" Several ideas run through your head. You're indecisive, but you don't have time for doubt, so you pick an idea and run with it. "Eiji, we're gonna blast it with magic until we figure out if something works! Ratatoskr, forget the weakness, just figure out what to watch out for!" "Works for me!" Even bound up, you still have plenty of blood to wipe onto your hand, while Eiji shifts the grip on his pitchfork to stab it into his palm. Not too hard, you hope, he's gonna need that hand. "Freyr!" "Xiezhai!" Light and Electricity, one of those might work! > 2d6+0 [Cast Zio, Roll +Proficiency] = (1+4)+0 = 5 Failure! > XP Gained: +1 Soul [8/10] > 2d6+0 [Miscast!] = (2+4)+0 = 6 Failure! > XP Gained: +1 Soul [9/10] > Kumiko switches to Xiezhai! [Resist: Elec] [Weak: Wind] [Immune: None] > Kumiko casts Zio on Sokkmimir! > Miscast! Fault! > Kumiko's SP: 15/20 > Dealt 25 Elec damage to Kumiko! > Kumiko's HP: 375/400 > Dealt 25 Elec damage to Sokkmimir! > Sokkmimir's HP: ???/??? (25 damage total) What should be a single solid bolt of lightning from Xiezhai's horn is...not. There's a popping crackle, and arcs of electricity fire off in all directions. A few strike the front of the train, and seem to have at least something of an effect. One particularly strong shock just barely misses Eiji, but reflects off of the metal behind him, and into yourself. "Augh!" > 2d6+1 [Cast Kouha, Roll +Eiji's Proficiency] = (2+4)+1 = 7 Partial success! "Kumiko!" Eiji nearly fumbles his own casting, but he's already halfway into it by the time he notices what you've done to yourself. > Eiji casts Kouha on Sokkmimir! > Eiji's SP: 15/25 > Dealt 50 Bless damage to Sokkmimir! > Sokkmimir's HP: ???/??? (75 damage total) "Well, it didn't not work." There isn't much more time for either of you to evaluate how much damage you dealt before the train sweeps past you. Both of you are caught by bits of metal sticking off the side of the train, nearly knocking you off your feet. > Sokkmimir attacks! > Dealt 75 Strike & Slash damage to Kumiko! > Kumiko's HP: 300/400 > Dealt 80 Strike & Slash damage to Eiji! > Eiji's HP: 270/350 Oh, oh that hurt. And rather than keep moving, it reverses, like it's backing up for a second charge. Actually, yeah, that's probably exactly what it's doing. > 2d6+0 [Analyze, Roll +???] = (4+4)+0 = 8 Partial success! I think all of its attacks will be physical! Ratatoskr's in your head again, perhaps stating the obvious, But it's definitely got some kind of magic! "Ugh, I don't know how many more of those I can take, Kumiko, and you aren't looking much better."

1: Bb. We gotta keep experimenting, try and find out what works. 2: A. We haven't tried a physical attack. 3: E: Basically C, but with an edge of praise to it. "Thanks for that. Can you narrow it down? What magic can it use specifically? What are it's physical attacks?"

Missed the first chance to suggest this, but Write In Vote for all As a massive ram, it's probably strongest at the front. Try to get behind or beside it, where it's armour is weaker. Maybe there'll even be a door, and you can go in and beat up the driver! Or maybe it's a sentient demon-machine powered by hatred, but at least you'll know.I Ratatoskr might even be able to nibble some wires, or plug an exhaust.

Think I'm gonna simplify combat options in the future, and I have ideas on how to do it. Lists this big seem to just be killing interest. Next time I get a chance to update, I'll try out the new system. Edit: Or I could just do it now, because hoo boy, two mostly incompatible votes isn't much to write an update on. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Nov 30, 2019 |
