  • 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?

    Wished to verify the ruling for Cash Still Rules in the new update. The starting loan limit it refers to means the limit for that intensity's budget for DR10, even if the starting world is of a lower DR, correct? For instance, if I was at I5 and in a DR8 world, would the limit be 960?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    No, the largest starting loan on a CSR of that intensity and starting DR would be 365.
    SobaSamurai
    SobaSamurai
    All right, thanks. Just wanted to check since the old rules could raise the budget over the normal amount in certain cases.

    Hey Swift, how you've been doing?

    Just passing by for a quick question.

    What sort of benefits do Familiars get?

    That is... Do they get acess to your Talents and defenses? Or do they just remain as they are as part of your retinue?

    Can't find any mention of this in the catalogue's rules.

    Out of curiosity are there methods in either one of the Shroud's powers or a talent that would allow for the changing of a captured target's sex without using Universal Calibration, or is that the only method outside some of the other Bindings?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    There's always Demiplane Laws. The Shroud can do it natively, but it's an advanced technique that isn't listed in the rulebook.
    One more Symbiote question :)
    The Creep only extends from the spawning pool half the footprint of the Hatchery structures, yet most functionality requires the structures be connected by Creep. Groves don't mention expanding the range of the Creep. What am I missing?

    40,000 sq m is less than you think. The area of a circle with 1 km radius is 3,141,593 sq m (pi x 1000 x 1000). The 5 km raduis of a Lair produces an even larger circle (pi x 5000 x 5000), and then you can simply build additional hatcheries. The process repeats with the Colony and Hive upgrades.

    Why is Alterzelu Symbiote nerfed so hard compared to the races it's based on? To the point it would actively and massively weaken anyone substituting or possessing any Zerg, Xenomorph or Tyraind characters? Also the final Hive structure, there's an error where you call it a Lair and what on earth is a World Tree? It is mentioned nowhere else in the Catalog.

    It's actually still WIP. I still haven't found the time to draft out the naval and space content, just land and air. World Tree is part of the space content.
    Primalparadox
    Ah, I assumed that was deliberate. Requiring Evolution Chamber work to make your own. That way all you'd need to finish is a final possibly multiversal structure to link it all.

    How does one buy more than one element to wield and use through shroud of power? I am asking because I wish to do a shroud build.

    Prismatic Shroud. Note that it's purposely inefficient compared to Waifus + Complementary Colors + Grand Tapestry.
    Question is it possible to combine settings with all the characters if one setting has multiple distinct worlds like kingdom hearts?
    Can you pick a cannon love interest or someone devoted to your substitution target that you yoink for a couples account?
    And if your substitution Target is madoka and you have Homura do you still ascend when you fight Walpurgisnacht?

    Good morning, I have a question. Would tagging one of Sukuna's wax fingers count as capturing him or no? Out of curiosity because I am planning to do a waifu catalog jjk in the future and knowing that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    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?
    SwiftRosenthal
    SwiftRosenthal
    Walk-ins are pre-existing characters, not SIs: "Ciri in Cyberpunk," (that happened in canon), "Shirou in Danmachi," etc. They don't have to pay extra to be themselves.
    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
    Aeon_Rex
    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?
    AngelicKnight.
    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?
    Dr_BlackThumb
    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.
    Stigma
    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?
    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.
    Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
    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?
    Lord_Indoril_Nerevar
    A question about servants you buy. Those who had their growth stunted by any reason: okita, mordred, og saber,etc. Will they be able to grow into adult bodies overtime? Okita becoming like her alter self, Artoria like her lancer self.

    If you have Everlasting Talent or access to the body-modification suite, yes.

    Hey, do you know the link about the OC Donut Steel shtick that I've been seeing in other WC fics? I'm in the process of making a WC and I wanna play with that particular meta-talent for my build.

    OCDS was an official perk in older versions, before it was re-integrated back into Template Stacking 1.
