Trials of the God-Harem King [Highschool DxD/Exalted] (CLOSED)

Regarding the Mil-tan discussion, some good points have been made. Personally I thought it was a little OOC considering Issei has compassion 5 (though maybe that's mostly targeted at girls). But I'm pretty sure Alexander meant it as a joke and it got me to chuckle at least and I can totally see that happening in an anime.

If the mysterious organization is Yami I will be happy because I am a fan crossovers and HSDK needs more love. If we do get Miu to like us we'll have to deal with her Invincible Superman of a grandfather, which should be fun.

And thanks for the welcome Alexander, awesome quest!
 
Introducing three new threats/quest lines (youkai organizations, disappearing empowered humans, and Yami) in a single update and from a single source seems on the verge of introducing too many simultaneous plotlines. I'll leave it at that as I have reasonable confidence in your storytelling, but this kind of thing taken too far has ruined quests before.

Also, I'll again offer my services as an English beta.

Oh and the mysterious group of mundane people that stretch across the planet with their enemies centered in Japan is clearly the assassin organization from Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi. Its been referenced before in this quest actually, ?Ragnorock? is a minor training organization they set up along with quite a few others across the planet. And I mean minor as in they are training minors to be lethal assassins. They don't start off with killing in them... anyways the reason why I am bringing this up. I want to enter the plotline before ?Ragnorock? gets hit by the good guys so we can enter into a tournament from that story line. It should be a nice quick way to make a bunch of experience in a very short amount of time.
You mean the "D of D" Tournament?

..."D of D". "DxD".

There is a hidden joke here somewhere, I am sure of it.

See my above post. We basically have confirmation at this point given how many clues have popped up, and I am estatic about that. Its a great series and I look forward to issies reaction to that one specific master. You know the one.
No, which one? All Masters are gold mines of hilarities.

It's a joke. I mean, it's a joke for Ddraig who is an old troll, while Issei seriously believes Ddraig knows what he's doing.

I understand your concerns, but I didn't have much choice. Those things were going on for a while before, all at the same time. Kaoru told Issei of all of them because they seriously need help. And they're not exactly separate, so talking of many simultaneous plotlines isn't exactly right.

Also, I'll again offer my services as an English beta.
Thanks for the offer. I'm doing it myself at the moment, when I am done I will contact you again if you want to see if I missed something.
 
Loved Eiko in this snippet , as well as the prank on Matsuda and Motohama. Somehow I am always unable to muster any sympathies for those two.

Hmm , so the mysterious group of mundane people is from HSDK , then? It's a cool series , but when I read that part I was hoping it would be Abstergo Industries.

The group that is kidnapping people , are they Khaos Brigrade , or yet another crossover element?

And as for the youkai clans , it's a Nurarihyon reference , unless I am very off-base. Fun things await us if the DxD Kyoto arc coincides with that verse's Kyoto arc.

Khaos Bridgade specifically Hero Faction. Their know for brainwashing their members to join them if they have to and are big on gathering talented and powerful humans,

So don't be surprised if they eventually come to get us to join them in the future.

to the People wanting to waste charms getting the silly counter spell charm from Occult, it would be cheaper and more cost effective just to get the Terrestrial Initiation Charm, and The Counter Spell. Not only that, but unless we teach someone else Sorcery one big thing going for it is there is no one around who can counter it, and for those worried about it being weak compared to DxD Magic, I wouldn't be shocked if Alexander did what I tend to do and up the power of the spells outlined in the various books.

Also, I don't see Bright sitting silently if we ignored her Big thing, other then crafting, and for those worried about summoning Demons, If they are able to get here they will, whether we summon them or not will not have much effect at all, and simply put Demons are to damn useful to ignore, just the crafting ones 1st and 2nd circle are awesome.

But that's just my view on things, even if we don't touch anything other then the counter spell its cheaper to get it then to go through filler charms for the Counter-spell Charm. and if we want a CS Charm, then just wait until we learn the SMA available to us, it has a much better version.

You know what the best part is ? We have Charms that can undo that kind of brainwashing. The Khaos Brigade is going to want us dead dead DEAD.

-----

I will consider valid choices those who are voted at least by seven players. In this case:

[X] Predator Reflexes

Is added to the list. As usual you can find the list of Knacks here
 
I'll swap my vote to

[X] Iron Fortitude
[X] Dragon Body Hybrid.

So Dragon Body Hybrid has 7 votes, making it purchased.
 
7 people voted for Dragon's Might Techniquex2, just diffrent versions of it, some didn't make a choice, and some wrote the same choice diffrent ways

of those that voted for health levels all but one voted for 2 purchases of 3 -2 health levels

While one votes for one of the above and 2 -1 health levels

Yeah we need to decide what to do with it
 
Honestly I think anything less then 3 health levels per purchase is silly, and we can get one -1 and 2 -2 health levels with Ox Body, so really anything less then the -2 or -4 health levels is suboptimal, plus there are ways to ignore or benefit from health level penalty's.

Ymmv of course
 
You know what, you're right. I'll switch to three -2 HL x 2.

[X] Dragon's Might Technique x2
- [X] Three -2 Health Levels

However, given our sub-optimal starting charms and the fact that we have access to knacks, it might be better to simply focus on counteracting wound penalties rather than using a charm slot on Ox Body Technique (which many Exalted players/STs debatably think should be free anyway) when we have so many other competencies to fill.
 
Sorry , forgot to specify the health levels.

[X] Dragon's Might Technique x2
- [X] Three -2 Health Levels
 
Heh, I will admit I've always had Ox Body free up to the lowest between Essence and Resistance when I've played, kinda like the Counter Spells I tend to give them free with the Sorcery Initiation Charm, as well as the suicide spell now that I think about it, something I picked up from one of the Exalted wiki's from memory
 
*nods*

Vote Switch to

[X] Iron Fortitude
[X] Dragon Body Hybrid.
[X] Dragon's Might Technique x2
- [X] Three -2 Health Levels

Also writing a Reveal Snippet on when Issei first shows up in class looking like a bishonen. Making it part interview part annotations so it fits better in the Omake camp.
 
about having too much crossover materials i wouldn't worry about it. alexander is a great quest writer in my experience and if following xander quest has taught me anything is that you can have a ton of crossover stuff as long as the base material is prominent.

With something like this, not even bullets to the head are enough to put down Issei. Truly terrifying.
 
holy god Jesus........so many heath boxes!

Quite right.....didn't expect THAT big of a boost to our health.....
 
i'm not sure how health works here, each box is a hitpoint?

so whats with the -1-2-3-4 thing?
 
its the penalty you take once you cross off the first box on that line.

There are charms to reduce it, and even some that swap it around so its a bonus instead.
 
Yep

Though I didn't expect that much of a difference. I think we can take some hits now thank the UNC
 
Now we just need
Iron Kettle Body
Cost: — (+4m); Mins: Resistance 3, Essence 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Durability of Oak Meditation
Required for Charms: Armored in Righteousness Stance, Unbroken Chain Resolve

The Lawgivers are armored in righteousness; many need no other hauberk. This Charm upgrades Durability of Oak Meditation. The Solar may pay a surcharge of four motes to increase the soak bonus of the Charm to (Essence + Stamina + Resistance) and extend its duration to one scene. He cannot do so if he is wearing armor; donning armor later immediately ends any upgraded activations of Durability of Oak Meditation.

and

Heroes Never Die
Cost: —; Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 3; Type: Permanent
Keywords: Mirror (Wound-Eating Invulnerability)
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Durability of Oak Meditation
Required for Charms: None

The prerequisite's conferred Hardness raises to (Essence + 5), and it may be extended to a duration of one scene by raising the cost to (6m, 1wp).

and I will be less worried about us getting into a real fight now, what with us having all of no armour and such atm, sure some other charms would be nice, like one to keep our parry DV from being lowered, but those two would seriously help cutdown on the motes we spend in combat. once again ymmv as always
 
Yeah that would be quite nice but other things demand out attention for now....

What does ymmv? I am new on here so some lingo I am unfamiliar with
