Chat Thread 19: In the Beginning Was the Chat

make chariot give strength EX and Strength give Instinct A, your not making a game for noobs,it doesnt matter if its slightly confusing,your not Valve

true.
I like the concept of cards that do more than just buff stats though.

All right then lol.

I agree. Allowing strategic opportunities is more interesting.

from what I think, the tower can represent someone reaching the height of their limits.
EG; Some climbing a tower to reach the top, or like a stair-way-to-heaven where upon reaching the top means enlightenment or transcendence. Top of ones trade. the maximum level once can obtain from climbing to the top, leaving behind everyone below them. Reaching the top doesn't necessarily mean, you're the first to do that but it sure could relate to fulfilment or rise in power.

So that would result in someone being bestowed upon EX-level attribute(s)

but as the Tower is related to calamity(the tower being struck by lightning and crumbling down). I would have it so that everything shatters.

So in essence:
XVI - The Tower - Temporarily grants the Master's Servant  EX-Level stat boost to all stats, leading to a much more powerful/potent NP. Upon the end of the cards effect(Or use of EX-NP), All Stats are dropped lower than their original levels. 


This way it is used as a double edged ability. You may get your one shot calamity onto your enemies but at the same the calamity of The Tower, also effects you (the crumbling of the tower in the tarot image - you fall down along with or on top of your enemies). 

The stat drop at the end means that you have to pick yourself up from the rubble and start climbing a new tower all over again.

It is a buff and a Debuff power.

all stats EX is essentially a sure kill scenario...

right?

Hmm. Dunno. Maybe increase all stats by 1, but when it comes down, stats are reduced by 1.

Well, the buff would be the strength of the tower, with the debuff being the calamity that breaks it.

.......isn't that exactly what I said?

What if we take a slightly different approach?
How about making The Tower reveal the location of the most recent Servant to defeat another Servant to all remaining Masters?

Hmm. I guess I see the point, but it's not all that great.

It could produce an interesting battle royale situation though.

Although, that's assuming anyone will want to find someone who just managed to kill another Servant.

Also, I'm a little obsessed with gingers today for some reason.

Mhh, true...

*dunks jorg in a vat of red dye*

I know. Make Tower lock an opponent's NP (that's disastrous enough). And make Judgment increase the rank of a Noble Phantasm for one use.

Aiden's dad was a ginger, and I was thinking today of the scenario in which he met Aiden's mother. So I tried to look up hot ginger guys, and this one won. He makes me think of a ginger version of Prince Charming from Once Upon a Time. <3

Spoiler:

...

It's okay, Payne. You can admit it.

I think I made him uncomfortable lol.

no giving someone EX ranks in everything >.>

No, I agree. Going up one rank should be enough.

yeah, this isn't like Mad Enchancement where you become insane and become incapable of doing a lot of things.

*tickles Jorg*

yes?

Just saying hi.

so have you any idea of how the masters will be?

what do you mean how the Masters will be? : o

if you already have the masters planned out :V

ah.

we have general concepts for the Masters of Lancer, Archer, and Berserker.
the rest are still complete mysteries.
