Finally figured out what was wrong with your math: Echo of Peace reduces damage by 65%, not 55%. That's why your calculations seemed wrong! Because they are!

I somehow seem to have looked at "reduce by 65%" and got "multiply by 45%" instead of "multiply by 35%".
I'll go and fix it!
Edit: It should all be fixed now. Hopefully.

[X] Plan Try and End this Peacefully
I'm not sure about the other servants of shiva, but San seems less than eager about this idea. If we make her justify her actions here she needs to be Truthful. Especially to herself, which should be interesting. My expectation is that even an amazing speech won't end this peacefully -- East and West are much less likely to halt.

Truth can be a horrifying weapon when applied correctly.

Soooooooooooo... I just realized something.
On the topic of the Dark Lord?
Killing him is useless, because he'll just rise up stronger than before.

Hate cannot drive out Hate. Only Love can do that.
But we wouldn't drive it out, we'd eat it. Gehaburn's kinda funny like that. *Doesn't know if it can actually do that, wouldn't be surprised though*
What does Segarite core do again?
Every turn in combat, we gain 75% of our maximum health, with no upper limit, though if we have more health than our maximum it drops to our max when combat ends.

So for example if we (magically) got it right now and the fight lasted five turns, oh and Nepgear avoided any Health loss, then it would look like:
Turn 1: 450 + 337 = 787
Turn 2: 787 + 337 = 1,124
Turn 3: 1,124 + 337 = 1,461
Turn 4: 1,461 + 337 = 1,798
Turn 5: 1,798 + 337 = 2,135
Which incidentally is why I suspect Indestructible Core will have some aspect that makes our Health grow faster then Containment Core. Probably by either making HP grow exponentially or just giving a bigger bonus per level. Since otherwise Segarite Core is kinda pathetic for the XP investment required.
Segarite Core does let us spam Core Purge constantly though.

It's pathetic, right now, because we could get a lot more powerful with less XP expenditures just by going for the upgrades on Purifier Beam/Spell damage. But when our needed XP to upgrade the basics starts getting higher, the more attractive Segarite Core will become. In other words, I see it as a late game buy, when we're more likely to get effective use out of it.
And Gabriel's aura does the exact same thing, right now. 200 HP healed per turn. Core Purge takes off about 25? I think we're set in the sustainability department.

Yeah, but then, if our divine damage reduction is based off of current HP, that could be worth it by itself.
How long has "Unknowing Player Participation" been a tag?
Anyway~ it's that time again for some MGS! In an AU Quest setting, one where instead of a more mundane IRL, it is based on METAL GEAR UNIVERSE... we have this sort of update! METAL GEAR BROKEN CORE coming soon... maybe!
The Unified Light had begun their offensive, ever sense Earth, the Akashic Pillar had joined the Unified Darkness had been put on the back foot. Earth's fortress level of nearly impregnable defenses, their several mercenary companies, and elite agents changed the battlefield to the United Light's favor. With Earth's help any land taken was secured against anything short of a major offensive, and their elite agents and mercenary companies launching sabotage missions and raids to bring more areas under their control. Among which the greatest is Militaires Sans Frontieres, or MSF, they have squads deployed all along the front with some sort of giant mecha seen fighting as well. Rumor has it that they have some sort of legendary soldier leading them, but you can't quite remember the name… it was something Boss.
You headed over to the command bunker to find out what the current plans would be due to the arrival of the angels.
There were three groups on par with an Angel, and two of them come from Earth. Magical Girls, and Fox Operatives. And while all three of them grew stronger with more around, only Fox Operatives could keep up with the force projection of a Flight, albeit through their sabotaging abilities as a Fox Team can literally bring an entire front to a standstill. Rumor had it that the earliest example of a Fox Operatives Squad was in World War II, and directly led to the Allies' victory over Germany.
You walk in to hear the Commander announcing plans to assign both a rookie Angel, and Fox Operative to your team. Honestly, considering the past missions you've been on having both an Angel and Fox Operative would be a huge relief.
A quick glance at the holo-map reveals the current focus is on the D9-9 and D9-8 Fronts, with Hope and Reluxus holding the supply lines to each respectively. The commander grunts and you look away from the map and towards him, as Truth chuckles at your predicament.
"Team Gear, Shiva is on the move. We suspect their target to be one of our research facilities, be ready to move out when we figure out which one. Unfortunately they've somehow managed to figure out ways of getting around our defensive lines, and currently all Fox Operative Squads are deployed."
"…Shiva?" you awkwardly ask.
Before Truth speaks up the commander replies, "A member, officially, of the Unaligned Front but they clearly have their own plan. Any further questions should be asked of your comm operator in your free time. Dismissed."
You and Truth quickly depart, and you overhear the commander and angel start chatting like old war buddies, and head to your tents and bed.

"Although not actually the largest mercenary group on Earth, MSF is indisputably the best, boasting a success rate of 100% and only accepting those who have the potential to become truly gifted soldiers. Led by the legendary Solider Big Boss, MSF also holds claim to having one of the first batch of Magical Girls, Magical Girl Peace. Although she's not very powerful having an apparently low growth rate, she's one of the most experienced MGs still alive. She apparently spends most of her time on base caring for the men with some legendary cooking skills, but can be seen occasionally working with MSF's giant mecha bot on deployment."
"One of the first Magical Girls to appear on Earth, at least in modern times, she was not recognized as such at the time. The first appearance of her power came shortly after the 'Rico Revolution during the rogue CIA and KGB incident where apparently members of both the CIA and KGB had gone against orders to meddle in the Revolution. MSF had uncovered this during their operations to help restore the country from another mercenary group's invasion which led to their involvement in resolving the issue for USA and the USSR at the time. That incident is still mostly classified."
"Interestingly enough at the time they apparently thought Peace just had psychic powers or some such nonsense. I mean c'mon, it was just magic, psychic powers aren't real. How silly and superstitious these guys used to get."
Combat Intel: "She's not that strong in a head on fight, but her years of experience make up for it. Listen to any advice she has out on the field, it can only help you Solid Core. Especially any cooking advice."

"How do you NOT know who Big Boss is? He's only the most famous, or infamous solider in the world depending on who you ask. He earned his rep via taking out the original Fox level squad that ended World War II, single handedly. He left the United States after that mission under mysterious circumstances, no one in the upper echelons of the original U.S military would tell anyone anything about it. People wonder why he left to form MSF, and every person seems to have their own explanation.
Anyway although he's getting on in years he's still considered to be one of the most dangerous soldiers in the world. Considering all the impossible stunts he pulled off before magic became known, people wonder if he's one of the first to access magic… although rumor has it the scientists have already checked him and found no signs of magical ability.
Combat Intel: "If you're fighting with Big Boss, somethings gone horribly wrong Solid Core. Good news is you're probably fighting against the best non-MG assist we have. Bad news is… well actually wait isn't fighting with / against legendary people kinda your thing? I think I'll go put a bet on Big Boss being your next random encounter in the field."

I noticed it at least a week ago, I just never thought to bring it up. Didn't really think it was important.
Same.
On a different note, since the possibility of expies of Nanoha characters was brought up quite a while ago, I just realized something. Would that mean that we could potentially see (probably violent) interactions between an expy of Vita Yagami and an expy of Blanc?

I usually never see tags because I'm busy reading the thread and I don't know of anyone who uses them to actually search for threads.
Unless of course they didn't see it, and are just covering it up
METAL CORE SOLID....
Wow makes a lot sense actually when you consider so far the types of core 'protection' have been metals huh?

Actually, quick GM question, since it came up between me and Gore in our conversation about the TV Tropes page he's being going crazy on:
Did the conversation ever bring up the possibility of James being some kind of Super Soldier or something? Seeing it on the page, and not remembering if it actually came up has gotten me really curious.
