Technique Questions

Alright, when you have a taint, do you have to do the xformation before you can use any of the techs, or can you use the techs with out having to do the xformation.

Xformation required for techs.

» Summon Spirit
This enables the user to call their summoned spirit out into the physical realm. It stays attached to the user, though it can act on its own.
Effect: drain based on Transformation

» Disconnect
Allows the physical separation of the Spirit from the Summoner so that they will both exist in separate physical bodies. In this form, the Spirit cannot venture too far from the Master.
Effect: range = 20 ft per level

My question is, would the Summon Spirit ability be like a Spirit's Spiritual Impression Quest (though still attached to the user). If so, then wouldn't Disconnect (without summon spirit) be a like a Spirit who hasn't done Spiritual Impression Quest? [If this was already answered, could someone place the answer here?]

Seal
TEXP: 10
The ability to seal a spirit's influence within a host's body. This removes the ability of the target host to use Magix or Possession abilities. The caster must maintain visual contact with a target in order to seal it. It takes a post to start the spell and a post to end it.
Effect: Seals, drain is Fierce, effect lasts 2 days per level IRL

1. This is honed so it lasts for 6 days IRL
2. Does this mean 18 days IC? since each day IRL is like 3 days IC. I think.

ya

With the Snayks Revitalization (listed below) would the new body be the same as the old or would it be completely healed or could it be a hole different body?

Quote :

» Revitalization
With this ability, the user will be able to "grow out of themselves." If the user's body has been damaged beyond repair or is worn, the user will be able to spit themselves up a new body and the old body will be left behind in a sack of skin. Once performed, the user is fully healed even if the user is thought to be dead. A user is able to do this once every 5 weeks. For every level trained, a week is taken away from the time restriction.
Effect: 100% HP, new body

What's the TEXP cost of these two techs?

Quote :

Influence
A form of mental bind where the user has control over the target's mind. The user is able to give the target orders like mind control. The caster is unable to utilize other spells while the spell is held and is constantly drained during the process.
Effect: bind strength and drain are Strong

Confuse
The caster attacks the target's mind with a mental poison that causes the user to think that allies are enemies and that enemies are allies. The strength of the spell decreases -1 every time it is used against an opponent that RP.
Effect: bind strength starts at Fierce, lasts for 1 post per level, drain is Medium

If it isn't listed then the cost is 0

yup
humans in normal mode canna do omega/magix techs

Does the xformation of a taint count as one of the two techs you can get a week? And, can you rank the xformation up?

Can we pick our affinity before we get the package and get the 1/2 of getting the package its self?

Do you have to be in the Xformation or have it active in order to do the techs?

could you have the xformation and another transformation active at the same time?

Are the 2 Special techs you can gain in a week for one possession or would it be overall 2 [like 1 from vaspire and one from wolyf, then you wait a week]

@ rune - naw.  i dun think that'd work since a lot of em change your appearance.  you'd be really messed up o.o

@achoo - overall =3

Question: Can this also be used against Taints?

This has not come up since the taintings came out so I figured I might as well ask.

Good idea.

If a human character started out as a Hitorinji, would they automatically get the "Quest Ability: Artifact Activation (active) - class change to Hitorinji."?

Projectus Reject... the description specifies bullets, but effect says projectiles. So can you reject arrows and thrown weapons as well?

Area Purification
TEXP: 8
Both palms thrust out extracting streams of sutra cards from the caster's clothing or sleeves to cover the terrain and negate non passive Magixal and Possession techniques.
Effect: drain is Fierce, area = 10 ft per level

If a spell is already active, will this ability negate said spell?

Thanks... that helps.

Those abilities you get from that whole praying bit in the saga. How do you know which one you get? Also, are they a one time thing? One time a thread thing? Just for the saga?

- get hit w/a brick? YOU GET A MIRACLE!
- didn't get hit? YOU GET GOOD LUCK!

- one time thing t'be used whenever. if you dun use it in the saga it goes on ur bio

Nice. Thanks! =D

Sonic Blade
A secret technique passed down through the Sacred Hunters and circles of swordsmanship. The technique uses the wind as a blade
projectile. A swift slash emits a razor sharp wind blade that is able to travel over a distance at a target.
Requires: Weapon Melee Package
Effect: damage is Fierce, travel distance = 10 ft per level, size = 2 ft per level


I would just like to know what type of blade it is. Is it like a blade wave its liner path dependant on the angle its thrown?

Like if someone slashes horizontal at a person, would it hit the entire body or just lets say the Mid section? cause im a bit confused. I know it seems kinda simple but, not in the way im seeing it being used..

Thank you I just needed it clarified

Kyro brought up a good point in IM not too long ago. The Demonic Weapon Bond. Shin, can you clarify on that. Does that effect every weapon that I've possessed or is it limited to the Devil's Teardrop?

what was that? a quest or a custom?

Quest that awarded that specific weapon I believe.

ah, then there's the answer unless someone actually looks the thing up xD

Actually I got the Devil's Teardrop from the Kurofono shop way back before he said humans couldn't get limited items. I say that because I used my starting gear quest to get it. The custom technique did not afford the weapon. That's why I'm asking. The quest I got the weapon summoning thing was Regretful Following. As it had been done when I was a Hitorinji shin gave me the weapon summoning ability. He also gave me that because I asked him about something that would allow me to summon a weapon so I didn't have to have it on me at all times.

So again, Shin, is it limited to the Devil's Teardrop or will it allow me to summon any weapon I have owned?

maaaaaaan.... you really are lazy

i thought it was weird when you said i "gave" it to you.

i shouldn't have to answer this since i told you what it does

https://wotr.rpg-board.net/site-updates-f48/admin-review-t179.htm?sid=ae86d3c2b98febe1a029ca184a5080f2

"demonic weapon bond (passive) - allows adrian to summon his demon possessed devil's teardrop at will. It gives off a dark mist when wielded."

c'mon dude. YOU really need t'read/look for stuff you don't know the answer too that i already answered. i really shouldn't have to go and find something because you're to lazy to look up what i told you. help me help you.

that answer your question?

To my credit that was over a year ago, and we don't use that review board anymore. But thank you.

ok w/e

Ayo, what happens if you cast a Shield/Barrier technique and you roll Omega? Does say a Strong guard Shield now have Supreme guard or would it just last for 10 posts? I would think the x2 guard would be more in line with the others since attacks get x2 dmg.

Also, for Ascended Mode, is that supposed to be it gives you 10% HP back or 100% HP back b/c if it's only 10%, wouldn't you basically be KO'd again the first time you get hit by... anything? Since +0 results in 10% dmg.

- better drink a gatorade when u get up!

i'll look into it

They share HP equal to the master's HP doubled and they share the Master's stamina.

so...when a summon disconnects... do they share their master's stamina, or do they have their own? o_o

The summon draws from the master's stamina to exist and perform techniques, so this would hold true after separation as well.

yup

For Tyme Package, Foresight... how exactly is this supposed to work when you get into the 30+ seconds range? I have this one and I realized that I can't really ask someone, "Hey, what was your character going to do 30 seconds in the future?" I mean I've normally used it to time an attack or evasion since I would know that was coming, but in all honesty that could be with Novice or Trained status' time limit.

For Rewinding Restores, in post count terms, how long is 12 seconds? Most posts seem to move rather quickly once the fighting gets started and the monologues stop.

Thanks.

a. use it like you've been using it. the only part that actually matters in most attacks is like... the second it hits you... unless someone takes a min to set up an attack
b. 12 jabs
