    Hey, how would you rate the Saint Seiya/Knights of the Zodiac verse, Since the power scaling is completely crazy and can change from one day to the other?

    Yo' swift

    I got a reader who is upset because I decided not to include Patrons in My latest story and is berating me because I decided they don't exist for my story.

    So, I just wish to know what's your oficial stance about that particular DLC?

    If you look at the worst (most shamelessly OP) homebrew that still exists on the interactive, you'll see that same name pop up all over the place.

    The second batch of patrons were made from scratch by a few people in the interactive catalog's discord and replaced the first for the interactive. They're markedly less bad than the originals, but still quite bad.

    ...Wait, that's who your angry reader is? Ignore him outright. I've known him on the three forums for over ten years and he's always been a backseating asshole.

    Eh, some of them are OK. Isekai Genie is great as-is, and the Fae are a great excuse for your character to have to smooth-talk. As long as they only interact with missions I think they could be great, but the Outsider buying you a thousand point perk and Death letting you stamp corpses is way over the line.

    The only one I really liked was the MHA one, Jaune is an unstable mess that wants to use violence first but never uses that damn stamp with zero subtlety. 60-63 was where I quit and lost hope of it improving with how he was talking out of his ass about the multiverse to Pyrrha. The only reason I'm not condemning him is that it was his early work and the MHA one actually shows character improvement.

    Okay, awhile ago you said "Eww. His protagonists are all self-righteous, hypocritical assholes, and when he defends their actions in the comments he shows that the self-insert angle is far more accurate than he realizes or ever intended." about Leecifer's Waifu Catalog Stories. And yeah, after reading a bit of the RWBY I see what you mean and completely agree at least when it comes to that story.

    Hey, swift.

    How much do you believe a generic vehicle from a setting should cost? The cheapest Cars cost 5 credits but they are all iconic.

    Say, if I were to go to Mass Effect and instead of wanting the Mako, the Normandy, or Even the hangar bay shuttle; I would instead want to buy through the catch a ride one of those generic aircars that appear in the cutscenes.

    How much credits something like that should cost?
    Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
    Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
    I ask, because there's some setting with a wide range of vehicles like cyberpunk which are not necesarilly iconic.

    I mean if you were to tell me V's Halla cost 5 credits because it's iconic I would consider that a rip off because the car is pretty meh and basic.

    5 credits I would understand for the Rayburn Caliburn, Guinivere Aerondight, Chevillon Emperor. But the Halla...?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    I can't give a flat cost. It depends on the setting and vehicle.

    Heya swift! Just a quick question. The catalog is pretty clear about curing physical ailments with body tune up but what about magical ones?

    Say a waifu has a soul bound that says,.this characters is linked with another, if one dies the other will follow. So, if you capture the waifu will she still have the soul link or will it dissapear? Or do you need some other defense, in that case, which one?
    Hey Swift just wondering about the new binding choices, Familiars Only, what does that mean exactly? They're just loyal? So is that like "won't go to the cops if your killing people" or just "won't tell someone your afraid of spiders?" can't find anything informative.
    Hi Swift, been wondering. Could Body Tune-Up be use to bring undead back to live, or would that be too much? Have been looking for a way to bring back Sylvanas form WoW back to life.
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    With unsouled undead, those are just animated corpses. Nobody's home and there's nothing to even capture. With souled undead, undeath is their current natural state and you'll want some other way to make them fully alive again.

    Hello! Perhaps this is a question you've been asked too many time, but how exactly do you determine a tier in the WC? If becoming a dragon brings an OC to T6, as they gain more power, how would an author know when said OC is T7 and so forth? Is there a specific criteria? I read the WC but I don't quite understand it
    Heya Swift, I gotta ask why in the world is Doll from Bloodborne T8? She's immortal but ridiculously weak and can provide a middling Leveling System, that's it. Hestia from Danmachi's only T7 and she's a God.

    Maiden in Black (Demon's Souls) was set to T8 because she has a similar role and feat to FGO Abigail Williams. The rest of the Soulsborne Maidens were set to equal her so that you could simply choose the one you like.
    Primalparadox
    The powers I already mentioned are it. Doll can't grant Immortality, she can only empower a Hunter with a contract with MP. Honestly I thought she'd be T2-4 at best.
    Primalparadox
    Monster Girl Encyclopedia's mamono mana has no power ceiling and can be acquired by purchasing a T3 waifu.
    Hi Swift, just found a defence option that might be missing. No Man's Sky frequently resets the universe and it's content. Does Wildscape Defence cover reality ceasing to exist? Cause it's listed at T5 but seems unsurvivable through any method I can think of.
    Who404Who
    In catch a ride you have Black Ark under flying section when it should be in the sea section.
    Also with spelljammers can you design your own of does it need to be a listed Variant if not would you be able to buy just the helm and install it into a ship?
    Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
    Sup' just passing by.

    If you buy a ship captain as your companion do they come with their vessels?

    If I were to buy captain Harlock as a companion would he bring his spaceship Arcadia with him? Or does this only apply to characters capable of summoning their own ships like nasuverse Servants?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    Read the basic rules. The only exceptions are people who can summon a vehicle or store it in a sufficiently small form. (The cast of SSSS Dynazenon comes to mind.)

    hey sorry to bother but i have a question, if i were to create a character that had access to things like a solar exaltation which are supposed to be limited to only 300 but had papertrail would the character actually have an exaltation or only thought to have a 301st which had 'obviously' existed before?.
    Danieldhdy
    Danieldhdy
    as at least in the interactive version it says "Under the same conditions, any powers they have may be documented in a way that best fits your needs." and i was curious how it would interact with powers accessible to only a limited number at a time.
    ps: i din't know there was a character limit in QQ
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    The company made their exaltation. It's a real one. If they had the Drop-in/Walk-in or Possess origins, it'll be a 301st.
    Hey Swift,
    Quick question, Maru Mari. Is it just a budget work around for Conjunction or is there something I missed?
    You've put alot into it with beasts to transport them, but all they seem to do is turn people into giant beasts. I mean there's a portal network. Conjunction allows control several of them I think.

    So, what am I missing? They seem like alot of your efforts gone into them for... Nothing?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    The most basic feature of Maru Mari is the Morph Ball from the Metroid series. The name itself comes from the original NES game.
    I'm going into yugioh 5ds as a starter world for waifu catalogue. I did randomize and got that, so quick question is taking Akiza from Yusei ntr him or no because I'm thinking on adding sherry to the list.

    Were they in a relationship at the point of the story that they meat the SI?
    Ohh, a question I've been pondering for ages. If you pick Alterzelu Symbiote alone, how and how much if any, control do you have over the Larva before structures? Theres no psychic talent or mention of pheromone queues so do they just do their own thing or can you be strategic with them right from the start?
    It seems I remember zero from math class, I'm trying to work out just what size the Alterzelu King and queens junk would be, what's 130% on an exponential curve add up to???
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    Just treat that as a linear scale, the same as height. But height increases too, and everything scales to height, so just take the average length for someone who's 168cm tall and multiply that by an average of 1.69 (actual range 1.44 to 1.96).
    Primalparadox
    Thanks man that's much easier to work with. Also I'm looking at the interactive catalog now and there's no mention of a height increase, which could be bad for a already busty Queen as she'll easily wind up with a 2+ meter bust line.

    Out of ALL the Waifu Catalog stories, which is your favorite? Mine is "My Harem Academia" by Leecifer, surprisingly wholesome and very well written.

    Eww. His protagonists are all self-righteous, hypocritical assholes, and when he defends their actions in the comments he shows that the self-insert angle is far more accurate than he realizes or ever intended.

    I suggest forgetting about him entirely and reading x50413's, Collinsworth's, and Andoriol's fics instead. Metabolicjosh and Meline Sureli are a somewhat distant fourth and fifth.

    Heya'

    Just got a small inquiry.

    Say, You have a goddess as a waifu and you buy her a template stacking of one of the deities from danmachi.

    Does that mean your waifu will gain the ability to grant Falna or would you need to visit the setting first with your waifu in order for her to learn how do that?
    If you capture someone who has been possessed by a spirit, and both the spirit and the possessed person are in the catalog, which do you capture? Do you capture both? If so, would the spirit get their own body or still be riding around in the possessed person?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    It depends on the context. You'll often capture the host and then eject the spirit into a separate body, which will be in a (temporary) state where they can be captured easily.

    Other times, if there's a SWP for the two together, you'll capture them both as-is.

    Good afternoon Swift, wanted to ask a question pertaining to Shroud of power. The boost that is granted via complimentary colors, does that also apply to the contractor as well. Or do they only get the initial boost from when they first bought the binding in question?
    William Seymour
    Hey Swift, I hope you are doing well. A quick question or two for you I would appreciate you answering for me.

    Question 1. Can the company talents and defenses prevent the gods of Danmachi from sensing that something is off about Scathach?

    Question 2. Evolution array, can this effect apply to monsters killed in Danmachi who have abilities native to them. An other adventurers?
