For the new Prayer, could we do something that would restore our Hama Field?

So, while this has already been answered, here's further clarification from the in-setting angle.

Taking Hama damage isn't removing hama, it instead is actually just thinning it out. In order to use hama for any conscious purpose, you must first gather it together until it reaches the required thickness. The normal consistency of hama is cobweb-like, very ethereal and flowy. Gathering it together thickens it into a more solid consistency.

All this to say that re-gathering hama isn't something that can really happen in the midst of combat because it is an inherently lengthy process that requires either extensive time or immense focus.

You *might* be able to re-gather your hama on the battlefield if given the opportunity, but those would be few and far between.
 
[X] Plan: Knights and Sword Beams
-[X] [Focus Action] Keep in touch with our fellow squires.
-[X] [Secondary Action] Find that girl who gave us her prayer bead and find out what you missed about her expectations of the conversation.
-[X] [Chancellery] Head On A Swivel
-[X] Training and Zeal (12 Training, 20 Zeal)
--[X] Spend 3 Training on Vanguard's Prayer
--[X] Spend 6 Training on Giant Killing Blow
--[X] Spend 3 Training on a (Rote) Cutting Wind - This Rote projects a Fervor-copy of a sword slash, allowing an attack at range.
--[X] Spend 16 Zeal on Hama 5
--[X] Spend 4 Zeal on Insight 3

This is the most complicated plan I've made so excuse me for fuck ups.

Can Audrey use something like Mordhau to break through enemy shields?

A mordhau doesn't really get through shields very well, I don't think. Speaking mechanically, Knights already get through shields a lot better than most people...using their weapons two-handed makes shields only half as effective against a Knight as they are against most opponents.

Armour-breaking techniques are viable, but that's a whole separate thing.

This would be a Rote, for the record. Meditations are passive ongoing effects, this would be an active effect you spend for on every attack using it.
 
I guess i should try and make an argument for why i don't think we should vote for 'what was up with that girl'. It simply the fact that we already have a movement skill in the form of darting strike and i dont think we need another.
 
I'd be willing to vote for an alternate plan that doesn't involve making a ranged attack. I don't think we need one and it's been clearly stated that it'll be weaker than a melee attack.
 
Hey qm if we make it like a chargeable ability would that make it as strong or stronger then our basic attack?

Edit: Or maybe we can make it into like an ability to add them to our basic attack instead of a one time use.

So, the reason why sword beam-like attacks are weaker than normal attacks is that they fundamentally lack substance behind it. Like, the ghostly image of a sword is less real than the actual sword, yeah? While charging up the sword beam would make it stronger than the baseline sword attack, it would still be weaker than the equivalent charged up sword attack.

Would something like this be possible eventually?

either charging it to an extreme degree or using zeal.

What about using fervor to temporarily "extend" our sword wukong style for an attack thats range extends with the amount of fervor used?
 
Okay if the Authors say it's okay and y'all would be in favor I could maybe make it into a rudimentary flight thing? Like, slowly walking on upwards now, just running through the sky with it when more upgraded?
 
[] Severance Blade - This meditation gathers energy into the sword that is released when the user wills it.

Okay how this, we gather energy and when we use one of our hard hitting skills, or darting strike to hit harder.

For the record, Vanguard's Prayer is also a movement enhancer to some degree. Which does indeed give you several. You can certainly take another, but bear in mind Capacity limits.

You could step into the "air" by raising the ground with a Ground Feat, but not too high all things considered, I don't think. And the Hama construct below you is breakable, so if anyone strikes it you'd fall the whole way down.
 
Alright, based on what I'm seeing I'll be changing the technique in Plan: What was up with that girl? to a multi-target attack.

Something like that is a Finale, probably, so it's possible in-universe, but it doesn't fit with your current Martial Style very well. A charged sword attack is certainly possible, but it's not gonna quite get to this level, I don't think, at least not any time soon.

This wouldn't be a Meditation. That's...not how those work at all. You could do some sort of charged attack, as mentioned, but it wouldn't work like this.

But im just going to stick to sword beams at this point, creating moves is hard.

Meditations are intended to be ongoing passive effects. They just keep working as long as you keep paying for them. It's possible to have a damage-boosting meditation, but it wouldn't end unless you stopped investing in it, and it probably wouldn't scale either, it'd just be a flat damage boost while the Meditation was active.

Audrey's Meditations all follow that pattern.
