[Deonment]

A bit of context. This character can create trinkets, through alchemy, which are objects with special properties.

Some of these are:

Do any of these give something special?

Shattered Pixel Dungeon
On vsbw

Color me surprised
Anyways, Sundial would be semi fourth wall breaking + limited Shadow manip
Shard of oblivion gives the PC NPI for being able to interact with nothing
Mossy clump gives limited Water + Plant Manip

 

[Edutyn]

Color me surprised

I'm working in a profile, although I don't have much time to work on it.

what about these?

Spoiler: Eye of Newt

This golden and black newt's eye is a common ingredient, now enhanced into a trinket. The eye seems to be reducing your vision in exchange for letting you see things in other ways.

At its current level this trinket will reduce your vision range by X%, but will also grant you mind vision on enemies within Y tiles.

Spoiler: Parchment Scrap

This little scrap of parchment looks like it came from a scroll. It has retained some of its magic, and it seems to be influencing weapons and armor found in the dungeon.

At its current level this trinket will make enchantments and glyphs X× as common, and curses on weapons and armor Y× as common. Curses on wands, rings, or artifacts are not affected.

Spoiler: Rat Skull

This macabre trinket isn't much larger than the skull of a normal rat, which is somehow a rarity down in this dungeon. The skull's magical influence seems to attract the more rare denizens of the dungeon, making them appear far more often.

At its current level this trinket will make rare exotic enemies X× as likely to appear. The skull is only half as effective at attracting crystal mimics and armored statues, however.

New gives ESP considering the desc of Mind Vision from the potion and the buff
Parchment Scrap wouldn't be anything combat applicable really, maybe limited Power Bestowal/Curse Manipulation
Rat Skull would be some form of limited mind manip

 

[Lou_change]

Any suggestions on what I should list the abilities this spell grants as?

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Limited Self-Sustenance (Type 3; Unlike "organic beings", whose bodies cannot sustain their full power for extended periods of time without special training, Androids "[don't] feel any fatigue" and; until completely drained of energy, can operate at full power indefinitely)

Yay or nay? Is Limited Self-Sustenance even accepted, or is it all-or-nothing?

 

[Franstel]

I suppose it's better to simply put this into the stamina section.

Any suggestions on what I should list the abilities this spell grants as?

You touch a willing creature. For the duration, the target’s movement is unaffected by difficult terrain,

All-Terrain Mobility

and spells and other magical effects can neither reduce the target’s speed nor cause the target to be paralyzed or restrained.

Resistance to Statistics Reduction and Paralysis Inducement

The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled.

No idea maybe a LS amp so something like Statistic Amplification

Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target’s movement or attacks.

No idea

Also what would be the ability to smell a flowery sent on people that are about to die in a near future ?

 

[Detective_Blizzard]

Got a weird ability, what do I use to describe a character who's ability can work by hitting a character's footage. Not interacting with a film or whatever but actively shooting live feed with the device, which causes the victim at said location to be effected by the attack.

 

[Rikimarox2]

Essence is basically the energy of the verse, and can be manipulated. Would this grant anything or just conventional energy manip?

Spoiler

Levels indicate how much Essence a Class or System is capable of manipulating, and for a brief refresher on Essence, that’s basically the substance governing a specific "concept."
In simpler terms, consider a normal flame. It burns, right? For a period of time, it gives off heat and light. Now, consider the very idea of a flame transferred into a pyromaniac Classification, given out by a System. This Class, which is entirely composed of the conceptual Essence of a flame, can use the Essence attuned to their being to create hotter flames, brighter flames, bigger flames… Other things like that. Effectively, the higher your level, the more powerfully you can affect the many, many aspects of a flame.

Essence
Energies tied to specific elements or concepts in existence. Spawned from Concept Cores, the base component of every System.

 

[sukuna171]

What would this grant

You feel the surge of feverous connectivity sparking reactive embers into ignition. You stand before the Veil on Neptune. Maya Sundaresh reaches for it—the Conductor for it— the Veil—some amorphic form, for a distortion in the fabric of the possible. Split by choice, assured in action. Nine minds focus, echoing—light wrinkles and your eyes fail.

 

[Tahoy49574]

Does being able to disrupt an armor count as Power Nullification, even if limited ?

 

[Nullflowerblush]

"You don't get it, do you? The true vampire converts her energy into sheer raw power. The strength of the flesh is nothing."

• Qliphoth's translation: "You didn't study hard enough... This isn't what it means to have the "power" of a vampire. To use "Yōki", and to transform it into "power" is our ability."

This does not appear to be Statistics Amplification, because than increasing their stats, this seems to be the source of their strength.
In that case, is it Energy Manipulation?

Empowerment?

 

[Suigetsuhyugs]

What ability would it be to have extra heads, organs?

 

[Vietthai96]

What ability would it be to have extra heads, organs?

Additional Limbs for Extra heads i guess, but extra organ, there is currently no ability covering it

 

[Suigetsuhyugs]

Additional Limbs for Extra heads i guess, but extra organ, there is currently no ability covering it

Additional limbs covers extra heads?
Also I think it should have an ability that covers extra organs Muzan from Demon Slayer having multiple brains was what made him so hard to kill. Shouldn't additional limbs be more like "extra body parts" so that it applies to all?

 

[Grabbing_dragon]

Is that more than dimensional travel, since it crosses space and time too?

 

[Vietthai96]

Is that more than dimensional travel, since it crosses space and time too?

Depend on how you interpreting this.

1. Cross time could get you Time Travel if you take this at face value

2. Cross space is similar to cross dimensions so it doesn't mean much. This could also mean you are simply travel in space, which the act of travelling in space is also called cross space

 

[EL_xWatcher1234x]

What do we give for "prima materia" ?

An "Element" that is the base of everything in the world be it physical, spiritual or abstract. But it's beyond Law/CM2 and fundamental information.

 

[Edutyn]

What could this be?

Character A can separate people's souls, but he says that if a soul spends more than x amount of time outside of a body, it will go to heaven. Basically, it's a rule of his cosmology.
Later on, Character A's soul is separated from his body, but his soul donsn't go to heaven. Could that be Soul Resistance?

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Yay or nay? Is Limited Self-Sustenance even accepted, or is it all-or-nothing?

Even better question, actually: Is it possible to simultaneously have Restful Self-Sustenance and not have Infinite stamina? Being artificial, Androids do not feel fatigue like organic beings do, meaning they can exert 100% of their full powers until their energy runs out. Infinite Energy Models, obviously, don't have to worry about this, but Battery-powered models and Energy Absorption Models do. Would they still count for the ability because they do not lose strength while they have energy, or are they disqualified because of the fact they can run out of energy?

Type 3: Restful Self-Sustenance: The ability to continue acting forever without rest or need for sleep. The users of this ability require no rest and do not run out of energy, or even feel tired. This ability denotes practically infinite stamina

So, not qualify, I guess, but i think you can slap Limited Type 3 on them

 

[Le'garde273]

Kinda weird but, wanna ask

Let say it's "essence"

Essence is conceptual network or river of concept, where memories and soul flow come from and will eventually back to it, anything resided in "essence" forming in conceptualized version. It also where narration and information in its purest form reside.

But the thing is, it's area influence aren't govern the entire universe. Does manipulating it still grant you atleast cm2? And since it's influence aren't govern the entire universe does it only "limited"?

 

[AlipheeseXIV]

Would it be apt to give a character limited & passive power mod if they can cause a ranged strike/aoe effect even if their intention is a single targeted attack?

 

[Lycoris4812]

A character inscribes and covers every molecule and cell in his body with a concept. Would this be something like limited abstract existence?

 

[Rikimarox2]

Question;

In the verse, there exists Elements (Concepts and Laws), and it is needed in order for its stuff to exist. Then, from them, there are things called Elementals which exist in pretty much everything that has relation to the Element. Elementals do stuff related to the Element, and were stated to be the smallest unit to an Element (similar to atoms to objects). However, we know that Elements existed prior to Elementals.

Based on the above, what does;
Manipulating/using elementals give?
Can Elements be considered Type 1 Concept due to not needing Elementals?

I mean, maybe?
Elementals read like the particulars of the concepts in this case, which serve as the foundational building blocks of everything else, so I can see a type 1 concept working for them
(now inb4 new chapters drop an antifeat about this)

 

[Tahoy49574]

What kind of resistance would blocking a signal be ?

 

[Vietthai96]

What kind of signal?

 

[Tahoy49574]

What kind of signal?

Signal emitted from the brain that manipulates people's bodies, it's psionic

 

[RoTt35]

Being able to use telepathy through walls that inhibit any form of extrasensory perception and telepathic communication would be any ability or resistance?

 

[Vietthai96]

Layer, or probably negation, depends on contexts

 

[RoTt35]

Layer, or probably negation, depends on contexts

This is the feat, and she was later able to telepathically sense Xavier through the walls, who was also using his own through them. There's also this feat:

Xavier didn't like Mount Haven. It gave him a headache. He knew the reason: ultralow frequency harmonics whose pitch was specifically calibrated to inhibit any form of extrasensory perception, including his own telepathy. He could overcome it, of course; that was no problem. It just took a little more effort and exacted a more than equivalent cost. Far easier, while he was here, to keep his thoughts and his powers to himself.

Look like layer to me

 

[Franstel]

If in a power system, having more of the energy of the system than your enemy allow you to completly resist all their abilities done via this PS and affect them with your own without much trouble even though they resist the abilities of those with less energy, is it just a case of potency, some sort of power null, layers or something else ?

Also a character was left in a comatose state after being defeated, yet he trained in his dreams while he was sleeping and his body actually got stronger from a training that only happened in his mind what would that be ?

And lastly, a character Tom was affected by a mind control spell that should have prevented him from moving while the antagonist was about to finish him off. However, despite his mind being completly subjugated his body acted on its own like it was on autopilot to fight back. What would it be ?

 

[MSahla]

What ability is this?

 

[Grabbing_dragon]

I’m not sure if the ability I added here is correct, so which ability would you say creating humans from mud falls under?

God created humans from mud. Similarly, a being with the power of gods can create bodies from mud and manipulate them like dolls. Moreover, those whose bodies are brought back this way gain god-like magical powers, as their bodies are not made of ordinary mud but of the mud of the gods, which is akin to Aether

Looks like Life and Earth manip

 

[Accelerated_Evolution]

In this clip, Dave, one of the gumball machines, gets his head chopped off, despite that, he's able to remain conscious and talk for a few seconds before freaking dying

Would he get any ability from this or no?

 

[Deonment]

Limited Immortality Type 2

 

[Accelerated_Evolution]

Would this give any abilities besides Astral Projection?

Context: Pops is having a nightmare due to an alien that keeps appearing on his dreams, with Skips and the rest of his friends planning to join him on his dream to help him fight the alien
