I will become God-Harem King of the World! [Highschool DxD/Exalted] (CLOSED)

Dodge is for dodging, Athletics is for running and climbing and jumping and stuff. Presence is for convincing individuals or related groups to do things, and Lore is for knowing things -- useful for a mage because it makes researching spells easier, but not so much for fighting.

Skip charisma. It costs too much and only benefits one of our primary abilities (Presence). If you really want dots in an attribute we should pump Dexterity given that more Dex benefits combat (it boosts our attack and defense values) and a variety of other stats. What we should really be investing in is Occult, which we somehow still have zero dots in despite being a mage.

 

What would be the advantages of taking both Martial Arts and Dodge? We use our Martial Arts for our Parry DV and to attack, so we don't need Dodge. Similarly, we don't need the Dodge Excellency, because we can use the MA one to boost PDV.
Dodge is favored, but we're going to level MA sooner or later anyways.

 

Don't worry, it will be raised soon.

There are some attacks you will want to dodge. Especially Lethal, since you can't parry them bare-handed.

 

We really need more Occult and should save XP so we can get it high once we get that first dot.

 

Luckily, we have our Boosted Gear and will never be bare-handed. I suppose there's situations where we couldn't bring it out, for example in public, but we'll hopefully not be attacked in public with lethal attacks, and there's always stunts.. Also, most Martial Art Styles include a charm that let's you parry lethal attacks with some additional benefits.

It just seems pretty wasteful to get Dodge when we're going to buy an ability that improves parrying.

 

Setting aside Boosted Gear, Fist of the Daystar Style gives us bare-handed lethal parrying power as a permanent effect with the first charm in the tree. Dodge is still useful for bad touch effects that we don't want getting anywhere near us but I can't think of many of those in DxD off the top of my head.

 

Do we have contact info for Ruby & Yang?

It might be good to warn them of the threat & ask them to keep their eyes open for us. If the Stray Devil involves bystanders or cause major collateral damage it may be worth contacting them.

I sort of also want to feel out whether the two of them, Ruby particularly, wants to actively help us in our efforts. I'll leave the impetus in their corner but I'm not sure we have the right to deny them if they want to help us, particularly since we're training them.

 

nice as for limit break make him go gaga over Asia. Then she gets kidnapped hurt etc and then the fallen angels will learn why an exalt that entered limit break is scary, especially one with the power of a dragon emperor.

 

Or we could obsess over one of the fallen angels and bring her Asia as a token of our love. Show them why the usurpation happened.
Because Limit Break usually, you know, are bad and don't conveniently line up with what you were going to do anyways.

 

For a Scene.

Since we're Essence 3, we can activate it as an innate power and our natural weapons get the Orichalcum material bonus (+1 to Accuracy, Defense, and Rate) and have the Piercing tag(ignores 4 points of soak) along with the bonus of a Perfect Quality weapon and the ability to Parry and inflict Lethal damage with our bare hands.

It's at Essence 5 that it will become permanent for no cost.

Most of the Bad Touch effects in DxD that I can remember would probably bounce off of IPP, save for Samael's Poison.

 

So we would stay that way forever with no further costs if we bought this charm now.

There's also the blood leech effect of Saji's sacred gear, the one that knocked Issei out in the Gremory/Sitri rating game. That one seems to be some kind of clinch that inflicts periodic bashing damage and Issei had no way to get rid of it without killing Saji if memory serves.

 

Which version of FoDS are you using?

Because the v2 one I'm looking at has this;

Fist of Iron Technique
Cost: 3m, Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive (Step 1 offensive, Step 2 defensive)
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Hero
Duration: Scene
Prerequisites: None

The pugilist infuses her body with the glorious might of her Essence, striking with unbridled power. While this charm is active, the base damage of her unarmed Martial Arts attacks is increased by her Essence rating. Her unarmed Martial Arts attacks may inflict Lethal damage if she so chooses, and she may parry Lethal damage unarmed without penalty. In addition, the pugilist's natural punch, kick, and clinch weapons are considered Perfect quality. The points granted by this status are allocated when the Charm is purchased and may be altered after the fact for 1 XP.

Hero: In addition to Perfect quality, the Solar adds the orichalcum Magical Material bonus (+1 Accuracy, +1 Defense, +1 Rate) to punch, kick, and clinch, and adds the Piercing tag to punch and kick. These weapons count as orichalcum artifact weapons whenever that status would be beneficial. At Essence 3, the Charm may be activated as an Innate Ability. At Essence 5, it becomes Permanent with no mote cost.

Completely forgot about that one.

 

The second one. http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?543595-Exalted-Fist-of-the-Daystar-Style-II-Electric-Boogaloo

 

I thought DxD Magic was based off Lore so making that better eaccelerates learning and usage?

But I would vote for the Dodge, Athletics, Resistance excelelencies for this upcoming thing. We still need time for the Ma one since it is not favored right?

 

I'm using this one

Guess we'll have to ask Alex which version he's using.

 

extremely good point.

fighting a girl would basically make our perfect defence worthless.

unless we managed to convice ourself that we had a better chance at scoring if we did beat them? (not in a rapey way)

aand it ended up being the Flaw we took. brilliant.

so fighting hot girls gets us limit AND makes our PD worthless.

oh, don't get me wrong, it's totally in character, but like 90% of the people we will be fighting are half naked babes.

this is going to suck.

 

...I really hope we aren't attracted to the nipple laser monster.

 

"If I win you have to go on a date with me!"

Problem solved for pretty much every girl who isn't Raynare.

Fortunately our limit condition only works if the girl is attractive. Miss acid nipples probably has appearance 0.

 

This is appearance 0?

check the rest of her body.

 

I'm going to go with "yes." Unless Issei also has a fetish for monster girls, in which case she might be some kind of chimaera.

 

Eh. That Seems like Appearance 5 with situational Modifiers. And Issei has Exalted.

 

The rest of her body does not invalidate her lovely torso and face. If she was Appearance, nothing about her would be attractive.

 

still enough for issei go nope, nope ALL OF MY NOPE.

 

You have Ruby's cellphone number.

While that is true, how they are bad...differs. While Issei is prone to fall head over heels in love at the drop of a hat, he still has Compassion 5. So, in the case he falls in love with Raynare and he gives her Asia, he would still interpose himself between any punishment toward Asia because "compassionate".

Also, please remember the Great Curse doesn't act objectively but subjectively. I fully approve of attempts to justify a certain action to fit it into Issei's worldview.

We're using this one.

Oh, I'm not so heartless. Issei wants to be a "person worth of the affection of many girls". You will not fail your Motivation if you fight a girl.

You will fail if you act in a manner that, in Issei's eyes, makes him less worthy of being a Harem-King: like what it happened in canon, letting Asia temporarily kidnapped because enemy reinforcement was arriving.

If Issei doesn't want to have sex with her, now or in the future, he doesn't consider a girl attractive.

Rolling...

...I think we just got 4 Limit.

Rolling again...

This dice roll has been tampered with!

No it's not. I just corrected a typo. Anyway: fail.

 

[ ] get between Bucho and the attack and try to parry.
Another advantage ov Parry DV over Dodge is that you can protect others with it.
If we fail to parry we can just soak it.

[X] Smuthunter

 

[X] Danger. You sense, and with reflexes born of your superior power and the adrenaline of witnessing a fight, you react. Interposing yourself between Rias and the attack your hands alight with the power of the sun, you lash, and hold both of the spears.

I don't know if 'forcefield charm' (forgot its name) could be projected to cover Rias, so we'd better jump in the path of the attack to ward it off.
