Maybe you weren't here for it, I don't remember, but we had a massive clusterfuck of chargen that involved picking out the girls' spell. NO, you cannot just say "let's switch one out to give ME what *I* want".
I voted for guardian beast for both Missy and Laura.
I won neither of those.
I hope to buy it in the future.
In these matters I agree with what that poster wanted. How they got from "people voted and didn't pick the spell I wanted" to "it hasn't been shown in canon yet so we can have a new vote to counter that" leaves me incredibly perplexed. Not being happy with a vote's outcome is only a reason for a revote when there is a substantial issue at heart, such as a major misunderstanding of what a choice meant, big enough to sway a very large number of voters' opinions, a threshold we don't come within a mile of in this specific case.
But taking her into every mission would be really stupid.
For what we know of Standstill it would perfectly be in character of her to get scared of us if she see us nuke the Fallen. She definitely seems to be on the "Save everyone you can" camp. So if we go by the "kill everyone" option it would be a terrible idea to take her with us. Not to mention it would ruin the whole purpose of rebranding to be associated with mass murderers.
And yes that's what would happen.
We already got someone pissy at the fake heroine we created to take the Fallen just because we killed some people.
Standstill getting rebrainded just to ruin her reputation yet again would be a dick move.
Ditto that. We can also pull the "This is too dangerous for you" card and get Cat Sith to force her to stay were she is safe.
If we literally nuke their base with Ragnarok, she'll most likely have some issues, the biggest being that, unless their bases are all extremely remote, there will be substantial collateral damage of people who just happen to be too close.
Nuking them with Solar Wrath, on the other hand, we've already done. I think we did it before we first met with the Adepts. Heck, if I'm recalling correctly, we got a message from the Adepts after that scene where we melted the E88 wondering if we had completely abandoned them and weren't willing to come see them about magic.
After giving the E88 the ultimate x-ray, regular PRT members were giving us wary side-eyes, fearing we were going to go nuts and commit mass murder as villains, even when they knew we at least claimed to be heroes. We have alleviated those concerns by never using that attack when there was any chance of collateral damage. We have built a reputation as being level headed and having self control that are both far higher than the average for capes(thanks to no conflict drive from a shard). Using that attack again, on people we've been cleared to kill(in practice, since the reason they don't have official kill orders is political rather than a statement that they don't deserve to die) will, if anything, improve our reputation.
We got word from Legend himself that people won't bat an eye for nuking the Fallen base... and Silently has said that dealing with the Mathers/Simurgh branch of the Fallen will be a 99% Taylor thing, just wiping them out because those nasty-nasty masters... are basically useless against us. What little backup they have can burn in fire without trouble.
Well, an Arcana thing. I want Kayleigh hanging back, as she's the only one of us without combat experience, so going for her first mission to make her first kill seems unwise, but Missy and Laura have all the experience dealing with cape stuff that we could ask for. There's a very good chance that both of them have already killed people when forced to by circumstance.
Fine, let's have her be perfectly okay with us being a mass murdering machine. Let's ignore that she had to be reassured that the Adepts never did anything too bad to join them. Now she will be perfectly happy with us killing people just because we have her a Guardian Beast and new powers.
You... seem to be taking this very personally and projecting quite a bit that isn't supported by chapters we've been given, and even have been explicitly contradicted in some respects.
Hmm...well, I suppose we might be able to get Lacey Blitz Action on the grounds that it doesn't harm anyone, just speeds her up. If we can swing that, then her next spell purchase could easily be Spatial Translocation for the utility and reduction in travel times, or Forced Displacement so as to end fights without hurting anyone or sending people into jail/traps. Thanks for the info.
If she can use it, Lacey needs Sprint instead of Blitz Action. Sprint speeds up the flow of time for the person using it, whereas Blitz is pure motion. I couldn't find the right page to see if that could be installed on a Boost device like she has, though I admit I didn't dig all that deep in searching.
In this setting they do seem to just quarantine people instead of mass murdering them. In fact they do have dedicated therapists to try to unfuck people. Is one thing while directly facing the Smurf, but we already saw is different when no Endbringers are involved. Aka how they reacted when we just killed some Fallen.
Anyway, Legend is one thing, but Standstill seems like she doesn't like violence. I could be wrong but everything we have seen of her in character paints her as the kind of person who is into heroics to save people, not to kill bad guys.
And yes Taylor doesn't care about PR but she also doesn't want people to hate her. If she was only about the results she would have stopped the Privateers before they mostly got themselves killed or have actually helped them to just kill villains.
I know all of that is the result of votes but whatever.
They quarantine cities hit by the deadliest pre-cog and Master know to Earth bet, who is feared the most for being able to insert commands that even the person bearing them doesn't know until one day their trigger happens. In this case, Legend just told us that the people Mastered by the Fallen that they have tried to help all killed themselves when they couldn't get back to their masters. Executing them is an act of mercy. After we've taken out the Mather's branch, any Mastered individuals serving in the other two families who can be cured at all may try to escape or help us when we get to that group. Unless they come begging for help, though, we have to expect them to be lost already.
Technically the GB is a direct bonus in that regard, since it frees up her time. If her GB is maintaining her gear and ammo supplies she has more time to do other stuff. It's the same spell cost, but it's not the same time cost.
That said, she'd have to keep and feed her GB from then on? But pet.
Eh, it's a toss up. More thematic for her to maintain her own stuff though, so I will be going that route with my vote for her spells.
I think a hyperactive bunny GB would help a lot, partly because she'd have somebody to go shopping with, saving the sanity of the rest of the team. That they can make other gadgets and such to help her out without burning Tim's slots would also be nice.
Any gun nut loves to maintain their own guns and said guns being magical doesn't make her any less of a gun nut.
She also went cowboy instead of classical magical girl and she is a bit crazy, so who knows?
So she can have the Ultimate Summon and Guardian Beast active at the same time or would the Guardian Beast be forced to pet mode and to sleep or something?
As I understand the matter, the GB has a linker core of their own that hold the mana they use for their abilities. They don't generate mana, but should be able to be active at the same time as the Breaker summon, just not for as long, as it won't have a mana supply and will essentially be running on batteries.
