      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.

      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.

      A question about the talents, they have a learning multiplier that increases even more the better your opponents and masters are, but what would be the minimum multiplier when training alone?

      hey i have a question i am currently trying to make a build on your catalog and wanted to know if i for example buy Storm(Xmen) and then go to marvel comics is there a way to get the one i bought to replace the one already there or is it up to the player? and also is there a way to increase a waifus tier without using the dragon heritage?
      1. Danieldhdy

        sorry if you put something like that on the catalog but i cant seem to find a reference to that.

      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)
    6. 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.)
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        The entire cores mechanic is getting axed with the Transhuman rework.

      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.

      Also, as another question, will it be possible for me to get free perks depending of my avatar?

      Say, If I were to substitute into Alexstraza from wow, could it be possible for me to gain the dragon blood and dragon scale perks for free by only paying the waifu substitution costs during the character creation due to the nature of my substitution target?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        The answer is in the RAW, at the start of the Heritage section.

      Yo, I've been checking the world ratings up and down time and again and I can't find the rating for genshin impact anywhere. Yet the waifu ratings, those I can find easy in the east rpg section. Which is weird....

      In any case, I need an actual rating for the Genshin setting, currently i'm tentatively going with 5.

      This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask anyway. If OC Donut Steel is used on say, Nymphadora Tonks, would they receive magic without needing to buy Template Stacking or just her meta ability? Also, would the buyer gain her knowledge of magic?
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        OCDS has been merged back into Template Stacking in the current unstable. The question is obsolete because it's all just one perk now.

      Is there anywhere I can suggest changes to the Catalog? There are various characters and even entire fandoms which are missing (e.g. Percy Jackson), and there are also ratings for some characters which just don't really make sense (e.g. Kida from Disney's Atlantis being tier 1, despite being both near-immortal and peak human).
      1. SwiftRosenthal
        SwiftRosenthal
        There's a discord (in my sig) and a link to a commentable version of the unstable spreadsheet in the first post of the index thread. If you have an entire fandom of suggestions to make at once, PMs are often better.

      I was looking at the Neocities interactive Waifu Catalog, and was wondering what the cost to substituting as the Sith Inquisitor character (he who becomes Darth Nox) in SWToR would be. Looking at your official list, you have stuff from KoToR 1 and 2, but nothing from SWToR. Hell, I am not even seeing anything from the SW movies, either.
      1. Jordisk
        Jordisk
        Closest I can see, currently, is Substituting as a Sith Apprentice (T4), and fanwanking as the last of the Line of Kallig.

        "Characters from live-action works" are purposely excluded from the official catalog, because the art for them would logically be still frames from their works, i.e. of real people. That's why Wars, Trek, and Gate are all absent. TOR is absent because the giant list of Old Republic era characters that I was provided only covered the single-player games.

        I will point out that all three of those have comic books, and at least two have video games, to pull images from. However, your point is well made.

      Hey, got a question. If you were to chose a game mode option were you dispense with the buying mechanics and make it so that the only way to acquire waifus is to capture them in the wild and you can never use credits to gain new ones but you can still improve them.

      Do you receive somekind of bonus or extra credits to buy more perks?

      A quick question here since I don't know which thread to ask this on, if you take dragon heritage like the dragon's heart, are you now weak to dragon slayer abilities to like, say, Siegfried's sword from fate? Or is this like taking the Kryptonian race and having the the kryptonite weakness removed?

      I think you deleted the description of how points work for ritual circle - I recall there being a perk you could buy more than once that increased the maximum points you could put into a circle, and also a network perk. Now they are both gone, but still referenced throughout the rest of the options.

      So, don't know if this has been answered anywhere, but would it be possible to Substitute into a build from a CYOA? Specifically, a Star Nephilim (https://imgur.com/a/b3uDCTP). I could use Template Stacking, but that gets me a T4 equivalent that would need training to get more. Also, what Tier do you think for a Generic Star Nephilim, 7 or 8?

      New to CYOAs, and because why not, I chose to start with Waifu Catalog. Is it just a living document, or is there a specific version I should look for if I want the most up-to-date?

      Hello, I just had a quick question regarding the catalog and starting worlds. If I wanted to get into a starting world with R63 variants of certain characters, would I need to have Universal Calibration as part of my starting build? And am I right in assuming that Universal Calibration would even allow me to genderbend characters anyway?

      Sorry for bothering you, but I was wondering which talent will work on Force from Star Wars. Is It Soul or Psychic?
      My second question is about bindings. Do they always ramp so fast or could I play with it by lengthening time that leads to love?
      1. Ypintox
        Ypintox
        That should depend on the aspect of the force you want to train, it should probably be a mix of body/soul/psychic talents to manipulate its fundamental aspects Physical/Cosmic/Living into the Unifying force, but then again, what do I know? And then you get things like Mechu Deru, which probably need scientific knowledge, plant surge and so on... Take all of the talents
