No one else died. Unfortunately. D-Abilities don't count towards Reflect Magic?

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 6:56 pm

No. No enemy could ever use your D-Ability. They're supposed to be signature moves, really, so nothing could pull it off the way you do. Hence why no enemy will ever try.

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 6:59 pm

Which is why Auza's Possession magic cannot use enemy D-Abilities either.

Talented as she is, Auza cannot force someone who is not in their right mind to use such a devastating and dangerous attack.

Okay, awesome.

Time to heal. Just 4 more times to go.

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:02 pm

Oh, by the way, are you going through the entire Manor of the Thieves areas we've gained so far, or just one in particular? Or two in particular? Because right now, I'm assuming you want to go through them all, but then again, you always have options at the end of battle. I'll just start you off in the Living Room and we'll see where it goes~

by **Silver** Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:03 pm

No one knows the secrets behind one's D-Ability. *sagenod*

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:04 pm

Yeah, I want to go through all the parts that we've already been through, and maybe some other secret areas that we haven't discovered yet.

That's why it's called Map Exploration. XD

I think Ryas is going to get Heal upgraded after this; She's got plenty of people to heal. Though I would suggest using some potions on the ones she doesn't heal.

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:21 pm

I suggest using consumables more often.

I also suggest the complete eradication of experience bonus or subtraction from using items. /is implementing this

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:26 pm

I modified mine. I think they should be rewarded if they manage to use no items or only a few. And then I think they should be penalized if they use a shitload. Anywhere in-between yields no bonus or penalty.

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:29 pm

Well, if there is no bonus for not using items, players won't have to feel inclined (even slightly) to hold back in the usage of the items. Same with using a bunch of items. Consumables are there to be consumed. There should be (imo) no need to hold back in using them.

But I'm a GM, so I can change that in my role plays. You other people can do whatever the fuck you want. =3=

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:32 pm

I figured the bonus (+2, +1) and the penalty (-1) were so insignificant it didn't matter. XD I hope you guys aren't feeling pressured about it. Do use items. The only way you'll get penalized is if you wipe out your entire inventory in one go and you'll almost always get the +1 bonus if you do wind up having to use items. That said, there is no reason to hold back on using items. lol

But yes; different GMs have different views, so it's a good thing we can do whatever the fuck we want in our own role plays. XD

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:35 pm

In later levels they are very insignificant.

Auza won't hesitate to use an item when it behooves her.

Speaking of Auza, I'd like to get back to actual role playing, even if it is map exploration. Her personality is so much fun, it'd be a waste not to role play.

by Xenosaga Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:35 pm

We're working you so hard, Masq. :X

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:05 pm

As you wish. It was always up to you anyway. =p Enemies won't have much to say unless you directly communicate with them. Non-story enemies are generic anyway; they won't really know anything important unless I make it obvious.

And I know; Heart's almost updated. It takes long but I don't know why it does. ^ ^;

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:08 pm

I'd also like to see the goblin's profile. I have the thief's, I can just look at the neutral profiles. But knowing the goblins will help Auza a bit.

...

So she knows what to do after possessing both of them. XD

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:12 pm

I'll make sure to PM it.

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:17 pm

Arigato gozaimashta. (b=3=)b

by Xenosaga Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:21 pm

Kazega has terrible, terrible luck. Seriously.

Right then, time to go spam heal everyone and shit. Thankfully, Tenkai will be fine with her R- and S-Abilities. Ryas can go concentrate on the others.

On another note, Cheshire is a damn useful cat.

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:23 pm

Hence why Trinity healed Chris and not Tenkai. I knew she'd be all right, at least for a little while.

And I did a good job with him, didn't I? *u*

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:23 pm

Kazega seems to die.

Like...every battle.

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:24 pm

That's because when I first made her, I only had a slight idea of what I was doing with her, but I'm coming up with ways to enhance her survivability and make her more cool. 8D

by Zerifachias Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:28 pm

XD

It's like, every time I tune in to the Heart progression and read through the current battle, I always go, "Oh hey, Kazega's dead."

It's like...required. XDDD

by **Masquerade** Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:30 pm

Hoping to change that despite her being replaced way later on in the role play. ^ ^; That way she'll actually be of some use while she's here.

by Xenosaga Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:34 pm

I feel kind of sorry for her. :I

Will Kazega be a party member in the sequel?

And this post is going to be long. ._. Ryas never thought she would be glad to see Tenkai alive.
