I can't believe she's able to copy Tinker tech. She's basically an upgraded version of Miss Militia.

Shirou Emiya (whose powers Taylor has) is able to copy Noble Phantasms - the magical equivalent of highgrade tinker tech, so it's not that big a surprise.

The greatest difference seems to be that while Shirou is limited to blades only, Taylor seems to be able to copy anything that could be used as personal combat equipment.
 
I would think that it would be called PPE, or "standard" precaution, you know, considering the setting.....like you're going to be going to be in a fight at some point so calling it combat equipment is redundant, its stuff you'll *need* to survive.......:p

Shirou is limited to Weapons, I believe, in the same manner that, say, Knight of Honor is. He's just a hell of a lot more efficient with blades.

Nah, he can do just about anything. He's not even limited to weapons.
(If I misunderstood you, it's because I've not played Knight of Honor... assuming you even meant the game)

It's just that his Origin and Elemental Affinity is "Sword" so anything sword-like is orders of magnitude cheaper to replicate, like you said.Even spears already give him trouble, never mind defensive stuff like shields.

Man I was not prepared for the immediately enhanced mortality rate in this quest. I think i've gotten over it now though so ima stick around and see if this is something I'd enjoy. I like the idea and the writings really good, just didn't expect 2 capes to already be dead.

Hold on, let me check.


Edit: So I appear to have 127 alerts and Donald Trump is being seriously considered as a candidate for president like we're living in Back to the Future 2 or something. Last I recall, 538 was mocking his odds. What *happened*?

Don't answer that. I don't want to derail my own thread. Give me another hour to catch up on world news and then I'll start writing.

I think you need to maintain your backups more stringently man. It always sucks when you lose years in a system restore.

I fork and merge multiple times a day to maintain backup.

...Did somebody kidnap me? I still have access to all my servers, there's just a year *missing* from them. Hold on, I'll alpha fork again and one of me will investigate while the other me writes.

    • Oh my gosh, Armsmaster wants to talk to you. To do the whole 'hero' thing with you as the civilian he's protecting. Sure, what you really want is to be in his position, but you've been looking up to Armsmaster for your entire life. You're a little scared that he'll find out you have powers or something, but getting to stay and squee over a hero in powered armor seems like a reasonable tradeoff for that risk.

    You stand as he nears your position. The Halberd and armor are so cool, you can't wait to try them out later. What's he going to say, what's he going to say?

    A hatch pops open on the Halberd, ejecting a small object into Armsmaster's left hand which rapidly expands. Is it a foam grenade? Does he think you're a Nazi? Have you made some horrible mistake, done something horribly wrong?

    "Are you uninjured, citizen?" Armsmaster hands you the teddy bear. Oh. You don't think you were medically in shock before, but you might be now. "You are safe, now, and do not appear to be physically hurt. Please state any injuries that may require immediate treatment. If none exist, please cuddle the stuffed toy until emergency services arrive."

    This is not the first impression you wanted to make. "I'm fine, actually!" you all but shriek. This doesn't stop you from cuddling the teddy bear as instructed. It's wearing a tiny shirt with Armsmaster's logo on the front. It's adorable. You're never getting rid of it. "I, I don't need any help. I wasn't hurt. I was just watching you fight the Nazis."

    A light on the hero's helmet flashes blue. He speaks again, "I would like your name and contact information for the report. You are not in trouble. This is part of a standardized process."

    There's no reason to lie. You've already decided not to run. And truth be told, this is super cool. "Taylor Hebert. I have a cell phone, would that work?"

    "Yes." You rattle off the number. In return, Armsmaster indicates a phone number on the back of the ArmsBear. There's silence afterwards, which you break. "Can-can I have your autograph?" You ask, awkwardly. You quickly realize you have nothing on you to sign, so you reach one hand into a pocket, Trace something, and hand it to the hero.

    It's a perfect duplicate of your Armsmaster panties. You bury your face into little HalBear in shame.


    Sirens grow louder as a PRT-model armored van approaches. Two pairs of troopers disembark and the check the area, then one of the four walks over to you. "Armsmaster," he greets the hero.

    "Sergeant," he cooly acknowledges. "Please escort Ms. Hebert home. Coordinates have been sent to your GPS."


    Overall, you have mostly positive feelings about the night. You got to check out a bunch of new gear, including a Noble Phantasm. You got to talk to your second-favorite superhero ever, and even got an autograph *and* a souvenir!

    You also handed your second-favorite hero a used (but clean!) pair of your panties, gave him your name (and indirectly, address), and got your dad woken up and informed of your nocturnal wandering by a PRT agent. The only thing preventing your total and permanent mortification is the endless loop of the night's successes you have running in your head to counterbalance it.

    Note: today was the night of Saturday, March 26, 2011

    What do you want to do today? Pick Three (Two for the day and one for the night, options may be chosen repeatedly, order may matter. You lost an action due to staying up late, sleeping in afterwards, and getting both berated by Dad and getting a delicious breakfast from him in the morning. It was worth it.):

    To me, one of the most memorable Noble Phantasms that Shirou Traces is Rho Aias. Not only is not a sword; it's not even a weapon. It's a shield. While it was only used by EMIYA and not Shirou (not counting Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA), the major difference between the two in terms of their reality marble is that EMIYA has a lot more prana to work with and is being fed even more from multiple arcane sources (Rin, Grail-kun). UBW itself seems to be limited to bladed weaponry, but tracing does not.

    This is pretty much my understanding of the power. Seriously, for someone who's considered to be a shitty mage, Shirou is pretty hax.


    I've updated the character sheet to split the stuff that's in UBW versus the notables that are merely cool traced mundane and NP gear. Please correct me if I'm mistaken about anything Nasu.

    Also, y'all need to go visit a museum sometime for serious, get UBW finally loaded with an endless supply of nameless swords.
