Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

For casting, Charge Cartridge is the spell/skill that lets them both make and use cartridges, and none of the classes can do that.

...A familiar theoretically could, but that would needs its own mechanics if we were to introduce that... Also, it still wouldn't give them an alternate means to support their own existence, just not require them to use mana for casting.

Um, there's a skill in the Tech Witch cross-training that lets a Gadgeteer build mana capacitors, but it has to be taken on the first cross-training.
The only other thing that occurs to me is some sort of manatech power generator, but presumably that's impossible or has downsides.

Does that mean that Beasts are doomed if their mage dies?

And does the bond transfer mana across universes and arbitrary realspace distance, or does the Mage always need to bring their Beast along with them except for short jaunts?
 
So, SIlently, now that Lacey has enough XP
SHIT! I forgot to up everyone's XP counters. I'm using the activity vote as my reminder, but clearly that didn't work this time around. So Lacey actually has 3 XP, not 2.
now that Lacey has enough XP to purchase a new spell, even if it's just a Modification, how will this be handled?
We almost always have chapters where there is no vote, and I'll be using one of them for the multi-part vote this requires. First vote will be a list of characters and basically whether or not to spend XP for them individually, and the second (or more)(PLEASE don't make it more) part will be picking the actual spells.
Honesty any character not in Taylor's team or who interacts frequently with Taylor should have their spells decided by the GM to avoid headaches.
Any character who I don't think is close enough to Taylor for you to pick their spells has the XP counter in their character sheets in red. Maclibuin and Operation Pentagram, for instance.

They can't sustain themselves of that power and it would give them mana poisoning.

Unfortunately. Which is canonical, by the way.
And does the bond transfer mana across universes and arbitrary realspace distance, or does the Mage always need to bring their Beast along with them except for short jaunts?
It always transfers.

Alright, thanks for the information. As for keeping the vote parts low, I don't think we'll have quite as difficult a time with these votes.
 
So, would anyone be willing to change one of their social votes to giving an Infinite Enhancement template to Standstill? It'll let us save on Tim's build actions, and increase the possibility to Standstill gaining more spells.
 
If it is a size thing.....

Clearly Laura gets a Titan Beetle GB. To fill the insect role.

And Kayleigh will recieve an octopus GB of the Gear for all those extra arms, I'm sure she'll insist after her exposure to Japanese culture.(along with Gun Nut this'll make Kayleigh self sufficient in terms of armaments just in case)

I am okay with her getting that Template just not for now since I want the girls bonding instead.

Do remember that getting someone a template leaves Taylor doing NOTHING but stay in the same place for days.

Owner: Why the fudge did you kill the guy?

GB: I lack any non lethal way to take down enemies.

Owner: Okay let's add knockout gas and a taser to the request list.
You saw a Mask fight in 14.o. :rolleyes: Not to mention, Masks aren't MEANT to be in-your-face fighters. They were originally designed to be sneaks, thieves, and saboteurs.

But do we really NEED an insect? What's wrong with birds and mammals that are more normal to cuddle
octopus GB ... I'm sure she'll insist after her exposure to Japanese culture
That... would raise implications I don't know if I would be comfortable with.

It was an infiltration mission, the doggie just killed the guy to impersonate him but they wanted to capture him instead.

Prehistoric Earth has giant insects but the only thing we will find that's big enough would be a worm.

A goose then.

[X] Bone of the Father, part 2 – Maybe it's just because it's one you grew up hearing about, but the idea of an Empire off-shoot running around Philly fills you with dread. Plus the fact that the real Empire was turned into Ziz-bombs. Check their territory for any known Empire capes calling the shots.
[X] Final Frontier – The Triumvirate Dynamic Duo is interested in what resources Earth Bet would have access to with convenient interdimensional transport. Explore Cauldron's base again, hunting for vials and information about the Fallen.

[X] Build an Infinite Enhancement Template for Standstill.
[X] Make yourself available to help Operation Pentagram.

To those voting training on Gimel, what's the point when you're getting no EXP whatsoever out of that?

Could I persuade you to pick the trip to Japan for team bonding instead?
 
Mami Tomoe fighting style was guns guns guns and she was in no way a cowboy
No, she was a classic southern Belle meets Magical girl, complete with a brown and yellow aesthetic, corset, riding boots, and jaunty feathered hat.

Would a GB with their own auxillary Linker core be self-sufficient?
 
Why all those votes with bunnies? We've got enough mamals already. How about a salamander for a change? Or a dragonfly. Those are pretty. Spiders sadly where already nixed. :cry:

Because gun bunnies are a thing.


Now I'm imagining a Sylvester Stalone-like GB with MASSIVE hands. :lol:
When I imagine a humanoid lobster, I always think of a stereotypical French chef.

There's an anime series called TransforMars* that is very resistant to Googling, as it insists that I mean Transformers, where the characters have been given superpowers combining them with various other Earth animals. One of the people is a boxer mixed with a Mantis Shrimp who would be a great reference for such a variety of GB, particularly if of the Sword or Shield variety. I bring it up in case somebody else can find it.

Edit: found it, I misremembered the name. It's TerraforMars. Here's rthe character: Keiji Onizuka

*Terraforming Mars went horribly right or horribly wrong when the roaches sent as part of the ecosystem being created evolved to sentience and decided to attack Earth. At least, even in the show, it comments how that's not how evolution is supposed to work, even with the really short reproduction cycle of roaches.

It was an infiltration mission, the doggie just killed the guy to impersonate him but they wanted to capture him instead.

The word used to describe the man the Mask brought down was "unconscious," not "dead".

So, would anyone be willing to change one of their social votes to giving an Infinite Enhancement template to Standstill? It'll let us save on Tim's build actions, and increase the possibility to Standstill gaining more spells.

I want to build this template via sacrificed Devices so we can use the other template before the next EB. Doing a Template via easybake!Taylor means that the next Template will be available one to tow weeks before the next scheduled EB attack, though I do concede that the actual attack can happen anywhere over the next month. I do want Standstill getting spells, but not at the price of not being able to bring the other Template Mage to help in any appreciable manner.
 
That... would raise implications I don't know if I would be comfortable with.
I'd think she'd go classic authentic Magical Girl and get either a ferret, bunny or a cat.
The intersection of Magical Girl and Octopus have largely been entirely pornographic.

E: The recent discussion is rather disorienting to read first thing in the morning. How DOES so much wrong stuff keep getting repeatedly posted as facts?

If you're voting for combat activities other than Burn the Sinner, please add a sub vote to bring Jujak along (in power armor, since we haven't upgraded him) so we can build our socializing counter preparatory to making a LCM for him.

If you're voting for Daddy's Little Girl, please add a subvote to have the TSAB check him out. Let's finally do the obvious thing we've been avoiding for so long.

@Silently Watches Would we be able to have Missy use Zeus as her GB but still use the random form of the ritual? They've already bonded! Just think of the cuteness!

For a guy who just said he wanted to avoid fighting capes and is focused on keeping his tiny slice of the city safe, running out to fight the Fallen would be very out of character. Vetoed.

Or you could let me show you what's there since this is the very first part of a multi-part subquest? Vetoed.

...Oh sure, why not.
