I'm back, with revengeance. I don't have a username so people will just have to guess when it's me. But I was the guy suggesting the stat builds and stuff.

>>26244087
Lets get started. How are we handling damage ie. How much can a PC take?

>>26244216
HP derived from Con score, obviously. Defenses derived from other scores. Were you there for my break down of the combat system?

>>26244216
Valid point. I'm generalizing, but being slammed into a wall would at least stop a determined Meister from immediately attacking again.

>>26244273
This combat is going to be over the top, no reason something as minor as shattered ribs should stop you from fighting.

>>26244331
True
>>26244262
Aye, but how many good hits should shut a PC down? 10? 20? Variable by level?

Rolled 5

>>26244087
How do you intended to handle WEAPONS?

>>26244398
Well with variable damage it all depends on the strength of the enemy. But something like 20 solid blows will probably put you in the grave, I'd think. and we're also implementing the fatigue system, at least I hope so.

>>26244331
1 star miesters at least. While 3 star would be Stien, Sid and above.

>>26244398
Increasing per level?

>>26244446
Weapons will have the same overall stats as PCs, but they will have different combat stat. Where PCs have defenses, weapons have the Sha(rpness) stat, Dur(ability) stat, and Res(onance) stat.

>>26244477
I assume Res is like a Meisters Wav?
>>26244467
Could do. Actually yeah, that works seeing as this wasn't meant to be realistic. But how much do they increase each level, how much effort does it take to go up a level anyway?

>>26244477
So WEAPONS will not be PC's, what about guys like Law?

>>26244517
I thought they COULD be PC's but it was an option, like being a Strong Soul

>>26244517
We decided that a player controls both Meister and Weapon, but it's up to the group to decide who roleplays weapons. Weapons can fight alone, but since they will have naturally lower physical stats than a meister, it's not always the best option, and it requires them to be able to perform partial transformation, which is a feat that requires a fairly high Wav stat.

>>26244567
huh, but Soul does it early on, hell, he does it by accident in his past. I thought the high Wav thing was for Dual Wielding Weapons.

>>26244608
Yes but not all weapons can do it, so we have to assume it's just a feat that players can choose to take or not.

>>26244641
I would assume all weapons can do it, they just don't as they're supposed to act as an amp for their Meisters wavelength.

>>26244684
I wouldn't assume. Assumptions rarely help. We're working on what we know, and what's heavily implied.

>>26244717
Hrmm, very well.

>>26244736
Plus, the more customization options the more satisfying chargen is, wouldn't you agree? When everyone can transform partially, it feels less cool.

Meister +Weapon = MO POWAH
But some weapons and meisters are built in such away that they can deal wit going solo.

Do you have a PDF of everything you have?

>>26244763
Except for when there's too many option like FATAL

Also apparently this is canon

>Modern humans can also become weapons by eating an evil soul, where they are asked by a disembodied voice if they want to become a Weapon or Meister. If they are a weapon, they must choose the path they choose and weapon formes. (Three if they choose the path of the warrior, Five if they choose the path of the assassin, and four if they choose the path of the warlock) If they choose to be a scythe, they only get to be a scythe and nothing else.

Should we have something like this in place?

>>26244789
Right. But not everybody will be concerned with splitting up that way, since it effectively weakens both of them.

>>26244825
Well too many is obviously not what we want.

And what the hell? I've never heard of that.

>>26244878
We also have to decide how we name abilities. There are moves that are "Scythe Moves", meaning there are probably moves that are "Axe Moves," and I think that's too much trouble. It'd probably be better to loosely name things, and allow players to rename and reflavor abilities to fit their theme.

>>26244825
As much as I'd like to stick to canon, this seems like it would add a lot of complications and not a lot of fun.

>>26244926
Misters and humans can't eat souls, See Death the Kid explaining Asura for the first time. And weapons seem to come from families. Like with Tsibaki and the fact her family is all weapons, Liz and Patti are sisters

Uh. Yeah. Unless that's from some light novel, radio drama or the newest chapters of Soul Eater NOT [that hasn't been translated for a long time] that paragraph is complete utter trash.

>>26244928
Bladed, blunt, piercing, ranged, elemental.

>>26245007
>>26244993
Righto.

>>26245043
This raises another idea I thought of earlier. Weapons obviously need traits. I was thinking we use three basic classes: Melee (Scythe, Sword) Ranged (Pistol, Rifle) and Magic (Lantern). This would allow for parties to build a balance more easily. It also allows us to derive HIT and DMG from different stats, encouraging more diverse builds.

>>26245106
Someone brought up before that all HIT should be derived from Agi, but that seems iffy. On one hand, it does make sense, but that means most people will want to invest heavily in it, and therefore less diversity.

>>26245186
That was I. I have no idea how to compensate for it, I just find STR to hit really odd.

>>26245219
I agree completely. We just can't think of anything better.

>>26245243
well, you also need speed to hit or they'd just dodge. some combination of Dex and Str to hit?

>>26245219
>>26245186
Agi HIT is from actually aiming to hit using your HAND-EYE COORDINATION.
Str HIT is from swinging really fast using your GIANT MUSCLES

>>26245277
If I swing really fast, but have no hand-eye coordination, I can still hit the ninja? awesome.

>>26245186
>>26245219
Honestly, no matter how we do melee, Agi is probably gonna wind up being the God Stat for Ranged.

>>26245277
This seems like a decent enough excuse. I say we do it.

>>26245300
He doesn't have time to dodge because you're swinging really, really fast.

>>26245106
Those are good basic categories, though everyone is going to have their own schtick.

To use canon examples Maka/Soul's schtick is mainly wavelength/resonance fuckery, Kid/Patti/Liz seem to focus on throwing absurd amounts of damage downrange, Black Star/Tsubaki are interesting, Tsubaki can change her stats as she changes weapon forms and even adds to Star's already obscene phsyical stats with things like Speed Star and Cursed Blade modes.

We'll want enough customization so that everyone can find a cool schtick like that.

>>26245309
Agreed, but that's good. Because Strength will be OP for melee, and Wav will be OP for mages.

>>26245326
yeah.
>>26245309
or we could do like Death and have AGI for hit but WAV/RES for damage

>>26245354
That was my idea.

>>26245326
We were gonna have multi-forms be a feat, with each rank giving you another form.

>>26245354
Still pretty damn good since it'll let you both hit reliably and avoid getting hit. If all of my hits land, and none of yours do, it won't matter if the individual hits aren't much.
Basically, build your team as an American-180. Sure, it only fires .22lr, but it fires a LOT of them with scary accuracy, a withering ROF, and negligible recoil. Individually the rounds don't do much, true but if you dump the pan into the guy who's trying to brain you with a lead pipe, he's gonna drop before he can hurt you.

ANd 4chan posted the wrong pic for some reason. Anyone know why it does that soemtimes?

>>26245354
I was thinking Sha for damage, since it comes from your weapon, unless you used an unarmed attack, in which case it comes from Strength.

Agi: Ranged HIT
Str: Melee HIT
Wav: Ability success

>>26245508
how many different kinds of weapons are we going for? limitless but fall within X distinct categories? or a "you may pick from these" kind of deal?

>>26245630

>>26245606
I really dunno. That's a big decision. Obviously we want variety, but with people playing as lanterns and guillotines, it's hard to come up with every variation. Maybe we let the three categories be classes, and have players roll stats and tell them which abilities they can take with that class?

I'd prefer if it was some GM thingy that is basically an artifact level 'equipment' that allows acces to feats that can allow you to tap into its power more and more at the expense of sanity.

>>26245951
We decided it would be a ranking feat that requires you to have a low San score.

>>26246034
That works, I was thinking it would be like a 'curse' in D&D and then you could take monster levels instead of class levels to unlock its crazy boons.

We also haven't agreed on the exact ability scores. I proposed STRength, AGIlity, CONstitution, INTelligence, WAVelength, and SANity.

Gentlemen, you might want to try and get your hands on a PDF of the old french "Bloodlust" RPG. In that game, the players incarnated the pairing of a mortal human and immortal spirit taking the form of a weapon, each with their own skills, powers and (often conflicting) desires.

You might be able to salvage a couple of ideas and/or mechanics from it.

>>26249328

About 16+ I think, it would be better to ask in the next thread when >>26246320 makes the new thread for the other stuff, I think (I have no idea if this is true/I could be talking out my ass) that meisters are volunteers. Or something. I'm not sure

>>26249091
Yo.

>>26249328
That was an awesome game. Not so much because of the game system, which was, like in most Croc games, bad, but because of the violent universe. Take Spartacus, Conan the Barbarian, Rome and Vikings, mix everything together and you receive something similar to Bloodlust.

>>26250743
I'm disappointed I couldn't find a d/l copy

>>26250557
Personally, I don't know if that stuff has ever been explained. But really, if you want to get into aspects of Soul Eater's world that aren't explained, that could go on and on and on.

Shibusen is indeed a school. I speculate that it goes from the ages of 14 up. Like some wierd High school/College hybrid. Or it could just be basically a private High school that churns out assassins, bounty hunters, soldiers, and body guards.

How do we handle people that try to become overpowered weapons...

What if someone tries to become (or dealing with) a person that's and Atom Bomb?

So, yeah.
Just say no.
You could leave it as a tool in the DM's hands, but, honestly, the average meister would struggle enough with background radiation, let alone a full-blown pardon the pun nuke.

>>26253737
Although, that said, as weapons are based on the soul wavelength, giving sharpness to blades, strength to blunt weaponry and creating ammunition for ranged weaponry, i'd argue to create a blast anything close to a nuclear weapon's detonation would require a colossal soul wavelength.
So, there, even more IC justification for barring it.

>>26253787

So we know that witches can be misters like Kim so how would this system handle them?

Should we use them as an optional [RACE] that can take mister as a class or just be a type of build? I mean they have seem to have a pretty diverse set abilities like [Utility] Angela who could make shit invisible,[Kim seemed to be limited to healing shit and Arachniawho had crazy mental powers. As well as [Controllers] like Free and Eurka and then Medusa was basically straight [Combat]

>>26255906
Are meisters even a thing? And by that, I mean, is there some special quality that lets someone use a Weapon? Maka IS a weapon and she can do it. Black Star is obviously a Strong Soul, since he can fight on his own and use special powers by himself. Kid is a Shinigami. It seems to me that most of the meisters are basically just Strong Souls (Not particularly powerful examples, but Strong Souls nonetheless) or could be classified as something specific that's not Meister.

>>26256009
AFAIK, the only requirement to use a Weapon is to be of a complimentary soul type.

>>26256034
Yeah. I mean they don't do it as well as Kid, sure, but Liz and Patty wield each other no prob.

>>26256061
And who would be more compatible than twin sisters?

>>26256009
Only thing needed to use a Weapon is a soul. The oldest golem that wielded Giriko, for example, held Arachne's soul within it. Kim, as a Witch, has a soul and can use Jackie just fine. Maka, while being half-weapon, showed no signs of it otherwise (Anime ending not withstanding.) and could still work with Soul just fine and Tsubaki to an extent.

What's needed is a soul and two or three compatable wavelengths.

>>26256009
>Black Star is obviously a Strong Soul
He's actually turning into a lovecraftian horror, according to Asura and the black thing.

>>26256291
So maybe we shouldn't consider misters a class but rather a class feature that can be taken with [Weapons] Liz&Patti, [Strong Soul] Mefuni, Black Star and Stien, [Madness Fragments] Death, Asura and Noah or [Witch] Kim and Arachnia

>>26256340

Wielding another weapon isn't as big of an issue as actually resonating with them.

I mean that a lot of people will be turned off by the character creation process because you really have a lot to plan out with your character but you also have to really prioritize the party dynamic.

color? what.

>>26257769
I guess it represents the different types of souls as colors, and mechanically demonstrates that through the ability to synch up.

Bumping the thread now that there are both new concepts going on and an already attempted project posted.

It symbolises the different types of personalities the person has by giving them a colour.
This is important, because more contrasting personalities making it harder to get along and, by extension, resonate, and as a result have a lower bonus or larger penalty to do so.
For instance, a yellow soul (generally representing a focused and driven personality) will get along fairly well with green souls (good instincts, compassionate) and orange (generous, loyal), but very badly with purple (self-interested, confident).
It's mechanically just a way to see how well any given meister will resonate with each weapon.
In play our 8 player (the horror) party ended up full of purples and reds (decisive, authority), so while we had no problems resonating with one another, it took quite a while to work out the group dynamic.
It was interesting.

>>26257885
>>26257062
This is honestly my favorite part about the homebrew. Every character tends to have a basic personality, so that's an easy way to help someone choose.

It actually feels like an alternate to alignments, actually. Because it means that, while two characters might butt heads now and then, it isn't a 'BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL'

>>26258143
Hell two characters might be the biggest bros ever and always have each other's back but not be able to resonate well, see Soul and Black*Star, total bros, can't resonate their way out of a paper bag together.

>>26258230
Yeah. Red and Green don't do well.

How would /tg/ feel about doing a soul eater quest?

>>26258803
mite b cool depending on writing

>>26258803
I'd be all for it if it was written well.

If we played a Meister and our Weapon was either the opposite gender of us or a girl there would be waifuing/husbandoing going on, but that's to be expected.

Also, I would probably vote for our weapon being either an axe, polearm, or something esoteric like a paintbrush.

>>26258803
Depends on how well you can write crazy.

>>26258901
Yes I can do a bit of crazy
>>26258851
Maybe I haven't thought out a plot yet and my job has shifted me to the late shift so if I were to do it it'd have to be in the middle of the day.

But mostly this is just an interest check.
>>26258900
/tg/ does love its romance and harems, so this is nothing unexpected.

>>26258955
Don't make it a harem.

>>26258955
Make the partner ambiguously gendered.
They can't waifu/husbando if they don't know which one they should do, right?
Also, interested.

>>26258966
I honestly have no intention to do that but a lot of quest really seem to push the idea, regardless of whether it should work or not.

>>26258987
Son, where do you think we are?
Such a thing will only make it happen more just so they know what's under the robes.

>>26258987
>They can't waifu/husbando if they don't know which one they should do, right?
You naive fool. If you don't want to waifu, then go solo Weapon.

/tg/, on-again off-again rapebuddies with /d/.
I fully expect them to do so.
Then you reveal the thing in it's pants is the Kishin. What's your madness threshold? Nope, not high enough, i'll be burning those character sheets, if you don't mind..

>>26259012
Well that's two anon's who don't want romance, surprising.

But I'd rather not have our lead chasing after every chick, witch and monster in the quest.

>>26259052
I think you and I are going to get along just fine. I also think you'll be leaving very soon, for I have been down this road before.

>>26259063
I have seen such sights and that is why I share them...

Also as the guy who started this quest madness should I trip up for the job or leave it to someone else?

>>26259052
If you don't want harem style waifus, either make every single character male (Not female, because that means lesbians) or have the MC start as a meister already in a monogamous relationship with their weapon.

>>26259094
Not everything needs a romance.

>>26259105
This. Romance is nice, but it isn't always called for.

>>26259105
The way /tg/ does quests (Especially /a/ style quests) everything WILL have waifus if you don't nip it in the bud. The players will push for it until they get their way or the entire thing falls apart.

>>26259122
Okay, then how about keeping the relationship to a character conveniently kept off-screen more often than not? Will that work?

>>26258803
So right now the most popular quest on TG is Bleach Quest, so would you guys want to give something like that a shot where we follow the canon or just to start from scratch?

>>26259135
It's best to start from scratch. Keeps most of the meta down. Keep Death, but make new characters and canon from scratch.

Hell, maybe the GM could take the name 'Lord Death'

>>26259135
Well if you try to follow canon, I feel like you'd be overtaken by the Spartoi shenanigans unless you tried to hijack an MC, and the Kishin thing is kind of a big deal.

>>26259129
Honestly I have no clue.

>>26259157
Bleach Quest did hijack Ichigo the MC at the start of the story and that seems to be working well...

>>26259152
Getting rid of the meta kills the point of using the setting.

>>26259199
It keeps the setting, but all of the main characters would just overshadow things.

>>26259232
You could fudge the ending a bit and then set the quest after it.

>>26259232
How about we have the proper MC's be no shows, but keep the top brass the same.

>>26259247
Or just have the canon characters off screen.
Maybe some staff, and certainly death, but the primary (and probably secondary) kids should be left out, heard of, not seen.
Both so they don't overshadow the players for screentime, but also so the players don't do anything retarded like try and fuck them up.
>>26259262
It'd be for the best. We could still hear rumours to get a vague feel ho far along their plot is, but they shouldn't compete for screentime or interact with our MC, ideally.

>>26256651
Two things

One: I fucking hate it when the very first section of any game book is not "How to play."

Two: I've skimmed it and I don't know how to play. What fucking dice system is this?

I don't know much about the manga, but the anime only had the MCs and the other student squad that were really fleshed out. Just have the quest MCs be another pair/group of students on roughly the same level, so you get to go out on your own missions and such, and might be involved in major events in a supporting role.

>>26259308
Looks like its d20

>>26259331
DAMMIT.

Well shit, I guess it's better than fucking D6's...

>>26259315
>>26259307
>>26259262
>>26259232
>>26259157
>>26259152
So everyone seems to be in favor of running a fresh plot. So what kind of MC do you all want to run?

>>26259348
what's wrong with d6's?

>>26259348
So your a d10 man?

>>26259375
Let the players choose when you actually start it. Are we a weapon? Are we a meister? or are we both? Do we weild ourselves?

>>26259384
Only that they are the worst kind of dice that isn't a D100 or some shit.

>>26259375
I'm still inclined towards a Weapon sans Meister.

>>26259407
I'll bear that in mind I just wanted to get some input now so I could get a feel for the story I'd likely have to craft.

>>26259415
Really? I'd say meister.
It means that even if the shit hits the fan, we've got one buddy at our back.

>>26259471
Well there already exists a homebrew.

>>26259471
we can still work on it while they have their quest, until they migrate into their own thread.

>>26258987
Are you saying you wouldn't a Chrona?

>>26259501
I wouldn't have a problem with playing a Witch, though.

>>26259501
Oh, yeah, definitely.
It'll be easier for us if we're in some kind of ordered environment than if we're in the wilds with no idea what the fuck we're meant to be doing.
>>26259515
Doesn't mean it can't be improved. Or used for parts for the /tg/ homebrew Alpharius was working on.

>>26259558
Witches Do come with a ready made evil empire to topple...

>>26259515
A D20 one.

I'd prefer a D10 be made.

What's wrong with d20s?

>>26259584
Cut all numbers associated with rolling in half.
Tada, d10 version!

>>26259625
d20 us more dice usually then just the 20...

Liz & Patti can wield each other. Small probability of Weapons being superior than Regular humans/Meisters. Also, most people don't accept that Maka is a weapon/meister hybrid, and mention of it is highly looked down upon.

I'm having mixed opinions on this Soul Eater quest.

Good: Mite b cool. Possibly get more people interested in Soul Eater.

Bad: I personally think that /tg/ doesn't need more quest thread at the moment. Plus, it would be competing with the Homebrew thread...

>>26261060
Maybe we could use an early version of the homebrew as a ruleset for the quest? It could help promote the development of it and draw attention, not to mention doubling as testing for the system.

>>26261196
Yes, I can agree with that. We need to get all the info we have slap it together.

>>26261196
it would have to be adapted to a quest format because it will have more than one person rolling the same thing for the same character.

I do agree. I did forget to mention the homebrew idea in the OP in the old thread. I'm sorry.

>>26261834
I'm still thinking d6, BUT I have heard some arguments for something bigger.

>>26261859
I hate it when things get busy, I am having connection problems right now so I'll be at a delay. d6's could work, but I think we should use d10's. If only so we have one kind of dice and can still do d%

>>26261954
Soul Eater, next chapter is the finale, and its a third of the length.

>>26261954
Both.
Berserk gets pretty depressing at times, so it's good to have a more "light" series to use as a break from it once in a while.

>>26261954
Berserk is really good, but the anime just kind of drops off somewhere and the mangaka is always playing iM@S instead of doodling. Soul Eater has one chapter left and the anime is one of the go-to examples for terrible adaptations, with the way they tried to end it.

Anyway. We had the Meister stats at STR, DEX, WAV and some other stuff, and the Weapon stats as RES, SHA, DUR wasn't it?

Back on topic.

Base stats: Str, Con, Agil, Int, Wav and San.
Races: Meister and Weapon (witches seems a little too advance/complex at this exact moment in brainstorming.)

Weapon form has different stats (Sharp, Hard, Dura)
Weapons come in Melee and/or ranged [i can see arguments for weapons being considered both] and can be piercing/slashing/bludgeoning/elemental

Anybody else want to contribute to the list of 'things that have been said, and probably gonna use'?

>>26262473
I just saw you post. Um, read the rest of this post.

Also, I can't not post an image to reply atm.

>>26262561
More idea slinging the better.

>>26262595
Thanks, Combat was being handled by your to-hit roll modifier being determined by STR, your (for want of a better term) AC being Armour + Agility right?

>>26262595
Sharp as a weapon stat only makes sense for bladed weapons. I don't see how sharpness helps for someone like Mary and how sharp a bullet is doesn't matter if it goes through you all the same.

>>26262723
Yes. I will go with yes at this moment.

>>26262760
Ok, how about Dmg/dam/damage?

Yeah, fixed the image prob.

>>26262760
Well, what's a word you could use instead?

>>26262807
Power [Pow]

>>26262791
Damage is all ready used for something.

>>26262760
Weapon stats should probably be

Slashing, Blunt, Piercing (yeah, real creative)

Speed, Strength, Accuracy (damn I'm good)

Wave

And yes, I mean for them to be broken up like that, because you'd focus in one of each line.

Accuracy Slashing : Katana
Blunt Strength : Warhammer
Speed Piercing : Gun
Strength Slashing : Claymore
etc.

>>26262877
True, don't know what I was thinking.

>>26262858
Much better.
Power, Hard, Dura

Wait a minute, what was the difference between Hardness and Durability again?

>>26262925
Durability is the HP of an object
Hardness in its dmg reduction.

At least in pathfinder.

A book will be a statted weapon, right?

I'm going to go, as my connection is so bad its nigh pointless pretending to be here.
>>26262967
Iirc, we were planning on generalising a few KINDS of weapon, so you could theoretically use anything, but it would use the stats of its kind of weapon.

>>26262190
>I don't see why he can't ask seeing as its tangentially related
Because this isnt the board for that. If he wants anime discussion, go to /a/. If he wants tabletop rules for an anime discussion, he can stay.
