      how does danger rating function for inserting during a disaster(eg: plague, famine) that kills let's say three quarters of the local population?

      I have a question, how do walk ins work? Also, when I use the public version it says that walk ins are free. is that correct or is that an error?

      How does Template Stacking work to change the race in a character who is already a Hybrid naturally, using Gohan as an example, a change of race to a Yokai could only change the human part? because I couldn't stop thinking about a Saiyan with fox tail and ears in DxD

      Quick question about Dxd. It says any captured High-class Devil or Angel loses either their evil pieces or Brave Saint deck. Does this mean if you capture someone like Rias her Peerage is no longer Devil's? Also, can you gain a peerage if you substitute or extra as a Devil?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        That's only for purchases, not captures. If you substitute or extra, yes.

      So I know any retinue members who have a crippling weakness like Kryptonians and Kryptonite and devil fruit users and sea water, have said weakness reduced to normal human levels.

      The rules mention vampires too so I assume its sunlight and/or silver depending on the type of vampire, but what about their need/desire for blood? Or a Ghouls need for flesh? I assume those remain unaltered?

      One question, the rule that if you buy or capture Ophis, do you receive Lilith if she doesn't exist yet, does it also apply when buying her in DRX as the first purchase? And does it apply when buying it for any world or only if the world is DXD?

      Quick question, if you start as Naruto, does it mean that you begin with three captures(Minato, Kushina, Kurama), I haven't seen any rules regarding the shadow clones inside him, and since they lasted a long time, they are probably some soul pieces or something.

      Hello, i've got a few questions:
      1. If I want to get Superman's powerset and not a race change to kryptonian, do I also get Supes weakness to kryptonite? Follow-up, would body defense block kryptonite's effect?

      2. Are there other ways for the retinue to benefit from Inexhaustible aside from Complementary Colors and Second-generation symbiote, that's in the catalog?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        1. Ctrl+F "Kryptonian" in the doc. This is explicitly answered.
        2. Transhuman can also do it after a certain point. I don't know the new tree as well as the old. The general-use option is to just find a waifu who can create soul-connections.

      In the interactive catalog randomizer for used waifus, you get sometimes conditions like, muscle tremors, persistent fatigue, etc.

      Those type of physical conditions should be erased whe they join your retinue due to body talent, right?

      I was reading about the change of race, either with the Racial Template or with the Template Stacking 1 version of the Unstable catalog, if I substitute myself in Emiya Shirou and change the race to a DxD devil does it mean that I would lose the magic circuits? since it's a total race change
      1. Thunder God
        Thunder God
        And about Added potential to the Magecraft would be enough to restore the use of magic circuits? (it never hurts to have a secondary source of Magic power)

        Also about Advanced Template Stacking, which one do you think would encompass Nasu's magecraft because it seems quite scientific but also magic circuits are supposed to reside in the soul so would either one work or which one would be necessary

      Hi long time fan I had a question about the Teir for Dresden Files that confused me since the setting had alot of Teir 11, 10, 9's that are active even if we don't see them in Chicago alot they are around and would be a threat to a Catalog user unless they had all the info and Tracing defenses (even that probably wouldn't be enough) as soon as they droped in why is it so low?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        Remember how power works in the Dresdenverse: the more of it you have, the less you can actually use. This is an explicit rule of the setting.

        SwiftRosenthal
        Patrons aren't actually part of the lore. They're just an overpowered thing that someone made and the interactive decided to include for whatever reason.

      A okay, I finally understood how to read this piece of crap. Trauma tier is how many tiers from the character you're taking from them due to their trauma. Pretty much you reduce them a tier for each instance of trauma received.
    23. Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
      Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
      No... But I'm not paying discounts.

      I'm actually paying double, triple, even 10 times that (50 points for base tier 3 waifus) So I can get them in a higher tier (A tier 7 Cammy White for example) through the used waifu mechanic.

      And Im getting negative numbers (-1, -2) in the the trauma tiers in the rolls of the interactive catalogue.
    24. Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
      Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
      A question regarding the slighty used waifu option.

      What does it mean to have negative numbers in the trauma tier? How can you explain that in-story?

      Or am I reading the interactive catalogue wrong?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        In-story, it means they're psychologically broken in a way that justifies a -50%, -80%, or -90% discount. Slightly Used is part- Special Deals, part-Clearance Rack.

      if the answer to that last one is negative then Deep Weave could work to take those missions? Since it says you can steal its form and it's Possession based and you get the memories like you would with substitution, could it be used to fulfill those quest requirements by absorbing them (It didn't fit all in one message)
    28. Thunder God
      Thunder God
      I have a doubt regarding the missions, I found some missions where you have to replace or possess someone specific, does it mean that they can only be taken if you chose that option as Chargen? Or the missions would give that substitution or possession, required target?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        You're thinking of Challenges, which can only be taken at chargen and are almost entirely unofficial (though I did make one of my own, so...). Missions are all post-chargen and don't allow that sort of thing. Other than that, the two are similar enough that they can often be converted in either direction, with some work of course.

        Oh thanks, I was thinking of a mission that I found in the interactive version of the Catalog created by Om1cr0n (it's something more comfortable when you don't have to keep track of the points and options) , they uploaded a mission where you had to possess Ozma from RWBY that's why it was my question if Deep Weave work in that type of Missions

      Will you be bringing a way to make transhuman cores through Tantric Arts like you could do with the old ritual or are you kinda just force into using shroud to get higher level cores.(Anyway to cutdown the time needed to get a master core would be great cos it's something like 25,000 Years of work.)

      Question, why isn't there something like Template Stacking for mundane purposes? Let's say someone wants to get the skills of a famous artist/performer/actor to help with a subtler way of getting waifus, specially if you mix it with Arousing Whispers and being a famous singer.
