Definitely would suggest AVOIDING rolling for deaths and the like for the Endbringer fight. But that is just me. I've seen authors try it and others use it, like for Trailblazer, but it honestly is discouraging as hell. Both to the author and the reader.

The Vita Chamber may make death cheap, but it is still limited by ADAM amounts, right?

The biggest issue is just that it can cost you characters you love and would make wonderful plot tools and characters later. But then, with the Vita Chamber, Addy can bring back dead Wards or other heroes easily enough. So yeah, up to you. I just have seen the whole rolling for thing just being... very bad.

Still, looking forward to the future of how you handle things. Especially when Addy Demis the fuck out of Leviathan.
I'm imagining it going the other direction with Levi rolling all botches while Addy's dice just explode.

It would be hilarious, I've had it happen in a few of my campaigns where the players just completely dominate something that should honestly crush them like a bug due to raw luck.

Also Demi working on Leviathan would be great, even billions of HP won't protect you if your enemy if quartering your HP every attack.
 
A great prank on Cauldron would be telling Eldion you have a way to fix his power. Give him one of the mega elixers variants that both gives the standard all HP + MP restored but also heals status effects, this applies to all effected parties. Now he drinks it, High Priest has it's MP restored, but so does every other Eden shard, including Case 53's and this will cure all of them inclusing amnesia. Eldion gets his power back and better then ever, but he becomes useless because all of Cauldrons clients become more capable so he isn't needed and Cauldron becomes immediately outed by the healed Case 53's. (TBH if Doctor Mother was told that every vial would be stable and have the power of a natural trigger with all the control of a vial she would throw Eldion under the bus anyways)

Magical girl tech. Check. The next one is more bs than Bioshock. Check. It does have many flight options.... it's not Touhou or Nanoga, right? right?
I'm definitely keeping her next spec as a surprise. She'll be changing specs soon anyway, since it's monday in story and X/X-2 runs out on thursday. We just have to get through all those interludes first.
Aaaand suddenly worried when Addy actually gets Madoka Magica as a tech spec...

Suddenly... Kyubey!
But it's cute and cat shaped so it's fine. Nothing bad could possibly happen.

Yeah that is also another possibility. It hurts so much when the final villain of the campaign ends up fumbling all their rolls while the damn npc squire follower ends up with god-like rolls and practically solos something that should rightfully smear him across the floor. The next adventure was interesting though, since it consisted of the party now believing the best thing they can do for their ex-squire-now-knight friend is get him hooked up with the king's daughter for reasons. So many plans ruined because my players decided their new friend has to get hitched right now and thus they need to travel to the other side of the kingdom causing me to make shit up on the spot. At least the small tournament I had them do gave me time to bullshit enough stuff to make things work.
The Dice Gods work in mysterious ways.

But back on topic, yeah demi doesn't care what defences or hp you have. You're getting your healthbar chunked. It's just a pity this one of the 1/4 damage, non-lethal versions of the spell. It's a pity X/X-2 is a little wimpy in the spell department. Addy doesn't get Meteor either :'(

This would involve Addy actually wanting to help Cauldron. Her opinions on them are not charitable. Though I'm not sure it'd actually boost all the shards High Priest touches, or if it'd actually charge anything by a meaningful amount. He'd be better off with a Ragnarok ring.

I once had party wipe due to the distraction. Literally two under level mooks sent to distract the party so their friends could prepare an ambush, and they wiped the party. The dice gods give and take.
 
I uave this thread set to email when op posts and this day has been nightmarish, i keep hoping itll finally be them interludes ive been praying for since the bomb story.

(No pressure unders take your time you are writing a masterpiece)

With the way Addy is and the way this story is going I'm just gonna assume that her next spec is whatever is the most terrifying and batshit thing possible. Soooooooo, I've got £20 riding on Bloodborne for the next spec. Lets see what happens if you introduce the Old Blood to this crazy train, lord knows it wouldn't come as much of a shock at this point.

We did it everybody! We found the one person using the email watching function! I always thought they were just legends...

It'd be real cool, though I doubt it, as OP has said it has to do with Magical Girls and various ways of granting flight.

A lot of C, a bunch of D but also because while she knows Missy is Vista, Missy doesn't know she knows Missy is Vista. It may have gone differently if she knew that Missy knew that she knew that Missy was Vista, but since Missy doesn't know then Addy didn't see the point of outing her friend, so now nobody aside from Addy and Missy know about Missy being Vista
"Hey Missy. Could you get this magical girl transformation wand to your uncle at the PRT to test out? I'm planning on making a bunch for our group of friends and I don't want to be accused of making things that masters people. They'll be really useful when Leviathan hits Brockton Bay soon."

"Hey Eidolon, I have this neat Tinkertech wand here that'll fix your problem as long as you don't mind a little cross-dressing. Just look how fabulous the local heroes and PRT agents of Brockton Bay are due to my wands! Leviathan won't stand a chance."

Can't wait for the giant laser-spiders that you can't see unless your mind is degrading from too much raw KNOWLEDGE!
 
Tch the 1.2k word alert...


Im disapinted

With preptime she can

...of course batman would win the preptime war right after

But like we know what actually happens right?

Mr. I'm totally a loner and edgy. However, I also have more side kicks and wards then some super teams have members.

Literally adopts her. Addy literally checks too many boxes for Bruce not to.

Unrelated. Super hyped for Endbringer fight and post fight nonsense.
 
I actually have been wondering (don't know if it's already been answered) in Worm, Simmie is evil, even when not being forced to fight, but is this Sammie different? I have a feeling that if she wasn't being forced to fight, she would more be a harmless troll than anything else. would also be cool if she ended up liking humanity through the link... becoming an actual guardian angel... that trolls people along the way!
 
But that's boooooring. :p
20% chance of exploding heads is boring?

Could always sell to cauldron instead, they're rich as sin and have access to extremly rare materials Including power vials to use on others or to tinker with. For a solution to Elodons powers, or even countering the effects of there more discontiued dangerous and powerfull vials, They might even let you negotiate for the use of the garden of flesh.

I thought this was a lot more his shard running out of resources to power his ability, rather than it actually getting a disease. It would be more like someone getting hungry after working all day without food rather than getting sick. And while elixers might provide some energy (to fully heal you and make you get full magic), to "can fully heal and restore a city-sized creature.

Think of it this way: Uhoh, this continent sized sea turtle/Solaris the living sun/shard/ has been half eaten away or burned up I know! lets poor an elixer on it! -> city/Sun/shard back to full health and resources and ready to live for another millenia or two!

There's also the issue that if they do fully restore a shard, and she can make elixers for less then the cost of sacrificing a city, then Scion just discovered something that creates more energy than it uses=> defies/reverses entropy=> goal achieved!

EDIT: Just looked up elixers on the wiki, and in FFX they only restore up to 9,999hp and 999MP. if a human can get above that with limit break, I highly doubt a city sized shard, (especially one as likely large and energy intensive as Eidolen's) would have less than that. And elixers in later games only restore 25-50% of hp/mp, though that seems less relevant since she's only referencing FFX/FFX2.

Wasn't that 10%? Anyway - yes. Only one possible side effect isn't cool enough! :p
Nice. Warhammer mutation tables?

But if headsploadtions arnt enough for yah, theres also the possible chance of extreme temporary homicidal rage.
 
Wait she has fallout right now. You have to have her make the toaster from the big empty obviously the toaster kept burning breakfast and needed repairs. Also maybe Fisto after all Annette and Danny have had a lot of catching up to do and at least one of them has to be tired. Why not make something to help pick up the slack.
 
I'd like to point out that for this fic Coil's power works by doing a simulation and then puppeting him through the simulation while playing it in his head at the same time. This is why Addy's anti-thinker effect when she swaps specs throws him off so much, since his power can't precog what she's going to choose.
That said Addy has a plan to deal with Coil (which will eventually be vetoed and replaced by something both sensible and workable).
Could Addy possibly throw Coil off of his paths by having Reality Lens do an interrupt on Coil's Shard? Thus messing up Coil's Shard's carefully managed simulator?
