Being honest picking calming aura is both a way to get it off the list of powers rolled in the future as well as saving point for the next pick- with it we will have enough points for 3x summoing a day or possibly sustained immortality which will help a lot if we get either one.

Fine I'll take this so we can get it off the board and save points much as the other stuff tempts me really wish we had the points for Sustained Immortality or the 3 a Day Summoning.
Edit: Adding Custom Blades because I really would like one, putting screen time for the theme because a 50% to ignore physical attacks could help.
Edit2: Adding the Microbots incase anyone wanted to pick them, of the 100 Point Summons it seems the most useful for our current situation.(Edited out the Microbots because I just remembered we have a separate vote if we pick choose one)
Edit3: Adding same vote with Weapon theme alternatively incase it absorbs bullets or even helps get rid of their weapons.

The Custom Theon/Parasite would be interesting. Any ideas?

I was tempted by the Custom Blades myself they are pretty much another powerful partner to have on the field.

Well, it would be the second time we, us and the QM, experiment with the system. I figure the process would be similar to how we sent Solar what with a single run of the dice, but different interpretations.

If we're lucky, it will be able to perform Magic! Let's do it!

Even simpler. If a Custom option wins. You get to choose all parameters from it yourself. I'll probably post the table for it in the forum to make it easier.
For those votes to count you need to replace Calming Aura with one of the Bonus Themes
You realize that with these 2 we could have that? Make the first out if Zilla Hide and the other Zilla Power Armor shaped?

So, can the Custom Intelligent Weapon be designed with any of the options on that linked page? Is there a gp max limit or can we choose the very maximum powers possible? Including the one that allows the weapon to resurrect the wielder? Will there be ego conflicts, as there would be in its own setting, or does the Menagerie overrule that?
In the meantime..

I don't see on the Table in the CM for either of those that interacts with our other creatures like that.

It doesn't work like that. Custom creatures are created using specific rules at a meta-level, they're created outside the story. But once Alex gains them they act like normal creatures.
The link is only a reference to explain the concept of intelligent weapons. The rules are in the doc.
Like all other creatures the Intelligent weapon would be perfectly loyal, so no ego conflict. It would have a total of a +10 enhancement bonus, dispatched among various enhancements.

ok lots to unpack
@zagan apologies for the wall of text but i need some clarification on this

[] 0 Bonus Theme (Write-in) + 200 Choose one (100)
first i need to clarify some things
does calming aura work on mastered people? Does it work on other constructs like Nilbog creation and the machine army? Does it stop people who are trying to murder you?
1 does the custom animal include lion turtles? Or animals with bending? (flying bison, dragons, badger mole)
2. what constructs are we allow to have?
Does the construct include homunculus (D&D) with the abilities of a homunculus?
are we allowed to down helmet horrors as magical power armor?
are the following creatures options?:
4.... can we have a weapon with a similar effect to the axe of storm giant? The one that lets you cut in a conceptual level? As in, it would probably be able to cut a shard from someone, otherwise can we make an anti-warlock weapon that stops shards from working, or a protection from good and evil/ exorcism sword
we need a framework on how magic interacts with shards, and if magic affects them
5. ok I assume that we have a 200 point worth magical beast, since otherwise we can summon beholders, dragons and aboleths
6. I'm sorry, no Eve can compete with the level of bullshit that we can get close
7. sea creatures are all necessarily aquatic, right? We don't get to summon a sea emperor that can fly as if the air is water, right?
8. I don't know enough about xenoblade to be able to tell you how powerful they would be, could you clarify?
9. ... how are we scalling skullgirls? And what powers can we give it?, this might be worth for the enhancements alone
10. can we have a transformer with all the knowledge of cybertronian science?
11. ... nah not worth it, especially if we can just make ourselves a super shredder with a turn-off button
12. i don't quite understand this one, choose one what? Any other power or creature?

Whoops, sorry about that mistake with the votes, will change it when I get home.
That being said, here's my argument for getting a Blade:
1. Blades are not subject to the summoning cooldown, nor the time limit.
2. We can choose to make the blade a healer, meaning we have a healer permanently on demand 100% of the time, no matter how long ago we used it.
3. If we make it the shape of a reasonably rideable animal(and we can choose the shape ourselves from the entirety of the mundane and xenoblade categories) we can then have a mount that is permanently available 24/7
4. We can then give it Super Strength and The ability to leap vast distances on top of this(unfortunately super speed is not an option for common blades)
5. It would be [Chosen Element] Kinetic as well on top of everything else.
That being said, there is actually a far more powerful option for a Custom Creature, one that could reasonably be an endbringer killer, and which we could guaranteed afford because of Debt, but Zagan forgot to make it an option to begin with and it's too late to change now

aditional questions:
About intelligent weapons?
- Are iron colossus available and does their anti-magic aura work against parahumans?
- I just discovered there is a difference between animated armor and helmet horror, can either be used as magical power armor?
About intelligent weapons?
- Does dimension anchor effect shards?
Does it affect parahuman abilities, since all of them use some form of dimensional effect? Which includes gray boy bubbles
does it prevent communication with the shard whilst active?
Would that kill parahumans or case 53s?
would that cure case 53s? or at least temporarily give them peace
- Does rank 10 of arcane knowledge allows the sword to teach magic or use spells of its own?
- Does magical circle against evil protects against the simurgs' song?
Break gray boy bubbles?
And or can it trap evil parahumans inside or prevent their power from entering an area?
If so, does that affect thinkers or tinker tech?

Calm down Zagan, there's no need to get angry. You need to use pedagogy. One thing at a time.
That one is on me, I made an error when writing the rule for calming aura, it only applies to non-sapient creatures. So no it doesn't work on anything of human-like intelligence. I will fix it.
So no they cannot be know creature from those settings, because most likely those creatures have their own entry with their own price. The lion turtle is worth 800 points so I won't give it to you for 100.
Once again thanks for your enthusiasme but you're going too far into speculation.
Please concentrate on the vote. And for the love of god please read the doc that I spent thousands of hours working on.
PS: I apologize for my tone I had a stressful day.

The custom option, all of them, represent creatures that could plausibly exist in the settings but that were never seen in the show/book/movies/etc...
So no they cannot be know creature from those settings, because most likely those creatures have their own entry with their own price. The lion turtle is worth 800 points so I won't give it to you for 100.
See above. Again custom creatures are unique to the Celestial Menagerie with their own rules.
No, 20 options exist. In the doc.
No, please see the doc.
Sort of, you can create one magical beast following the rules in the doc.
????
Custom Sea Beast are base on the Sea Beast from One pieces. Giant fish with the head of a land mammal. So a Sea beast penguin is possible but it couldn't fly.
It's like having a main characters from Final Fantasy fight by your side all the time. But not human-looking.
Not sure what you mean. See the doc for more details.
No, it would be a grunt.
The Choose One (100) power allow you to choose any one creature from the doc worth 100 points or less by paying 200 points.
No to everything or you'll see in the quest if the situation presents itself.
Once again thanks for your enthusiasme but you're going too far into speculation.

As for arguments in favor of getting choose one and picking the Defensive Microbots meanwhile:
1. They can shoot down one enemy projectile every half second. Each.
2. Every single creature we summon while the Defensive Microbots are active gets a Defensive Microbot as well.
3. They are small, not much larger than a man's fist. This means they can be Swarmed. This means that you have a Defensive barrier that shoots down up to 100 projectiles EVERY HALF SECOND.
This would allow us to take direct fire from TWO VULCAN AIRCRAFT CANNONS SIMULTANEOUSLY and be completely unharmed.
