I'd missed that.Cytokinesis said:We're 3+'s ahead on pure combat prowess. We gained a lot from the tournament.
The thing is, we don't have good training by the standards we're talking about. We have one good teacher for a few hours a week, as we spend most of our time at school or at home. The ninja children, for example, live and breathe it full time. Medaka's school is part of a program to create super-humansCytokinesis said:Still, if we keep going on adventures like this we're going to be quite near the top in pure skill by the time we get to the tournament. Some of the other contestants may have good training, but we have good training and epic adventure that their teachers would never let them get involved with this young on Alex's side.
Ayane would have had a better than even chance if we hadn't used magic against her in my judgement. I think Kahlua could have totally kicked our ass if she'd taken the tournament at all seriously and not worn a dress, and next time she's going to have been properly training for a rematch and won't go down so easily.Cytokinesis said:The very top tier (Altria, Medaka, Son Goku) is still going to be a challenge and warrant magic use, but the middle rankers should be within our capability (as they were during this tournament too).
I don't see why we can't help everyone at once - it's just some % of mana to put up a comprehensive divination setup for our friends, and we can do it on a quiet day together with Lu-sensei, Amy watching us while Cordy and Larry watches Lu-sensei.Alratan said:There's also the question of opportunity cost. Power isn't linear in this setting, it seems. The same effort applied to augmenting Amy or Cordelia's ability to learn their own supernatural abilities may produce a greater over all return.
Let's please just test out if we can figure out a way to help him.To be honest, he's not going to be able to keep up. We need to give him something to try to prevent him becoming collateral damage, but he's not going to be suitable for the front lines.
I think the best role for him could be as the one that manages to grow up and live a normal life, and escape from the war. It's Larry who'll act as our bridge to normality. He'll effectively be our Xander.
I meant more that Amy'll be the one responsible for long-duration magical buffs, in our group.As soon as we work out how to create mana potions/batteries her big limitation, which is her small fuel tank will disappear, and limiting her to supplying Larry will be a waste of her skills. She'd probably be better off making magic items to enhance her own or Cordelia's abilities, or honing her skill and stockpiling mana.
Been mentioned multiple times in previous threads - there's been talk, on and off, about having a gathering of all our friends during summer.What summer party? This summer we're doing the Familiar Binding in England, I think.
Pretty sure they're away of it, yes.Ambrose is magically handling her mail, and Altria has a futuristic magi-tech mobile phone. I rather suspect they're either in on the secret or they can't intercept it.
How is asking the Three if they'd want us to start something here a bad move...?
Basic reason we managed to keep up with all of this was that we cheated outrageously, agreed.Alratan said:The thing is, we don't have good training by the standards we're talking about.

We might not end up fighting Kahlua, next time - I for one want to go with the weapon division next time.Ayane would have had a better than even chance if we hadn't used magic against her in my judgement.

I don't want him to become our Xander, I remember some of the shit that guy went through (remember that priest? Do not want him to take out Larry's eye), which I don't want our friend to suffer through.

Not that she'd be focusing on Larry specifically.

4 years without meeting face to face is a very long time, for 8 year olds.

I think it'd be received well, show that we're willing to not go down the same route Ganondorf did.
Basic reason we managed to keep up with all of this was that we cheated outrageously, agreed.
But we've reached the point where our training with Lu-sensei will be massively more effective, considering we've got divination spells and massively improved ki use (and we're lining up potential magic trainers).
We might not end up fighting Kahlua, next time - I for one want to go with the weapon division next time.
I'm ashamed to say that it's one of the few good points that PL had on his fanfics crossing over with Buffy.GamingGeek said:((I believe I've said before that I'm a believer that the PTB are actually the bad guys who managed to get control of this world and only let the heroes win just enough so that noone else takes over))
There are many other authors who explained the whole better than PL. Like Dogbertcarroll.ryuan said:I'm ashamed to say that it's one of the few good points that PL had on his fanfics crossing over with Buffy.
Then again, sometimes the crazy psychopath have a point.
Which one of them? We helped Tatsuki, Ranma unfortunatelly went away too fast, who else is left?Alratan said:On the other hand, we've bet a surprising number of young prodigies or potential prodigies that have had seals applied to them, even if we did everything possible to avoid finding out about one of them.

Yep, we're the perfect student; we are really good at absorbing all kinds of info.SuperSonicSound said:don't forget our ridiculous bevy of super senses.
Seriously Spiritual sight, Ki Sight and Magical sight? Along side a more general 'sense' for each of them. given the way they allow us to learn from people so extensively by simple observation allowing us to jury rig techniques that should require extensive training to pull off I think we are very likely to keep pace with the others at this point just by observing them in battle
This whole generation is filled with prodigies that would make 'normal' prodigies look like idiots.That is ignoring the real part of our power which is hyper competence in magic, we aren't just very skilled for an 8 year in magic. We are prodigy so far into the extreme end of the bell curve that normal prodigies would look like a drooling retard in comparison.
Thankfully, unlike Angel we're not really reliant on the PTB (although I find it doubtful that something is killing off super-prodigies - there's Beryl and Lyra around still and say what you will about Beryl, she's not exactly out for world domination, by the looks of things)... there is no real reason we ever need to heed their wishes.GamingGeek said:Or else something out there kills off the super-prodigies before they can make a difference to the world.
The 'Powers that Be' don't like their balance disrupted after all. It should tell you all you need to know about them. Balance means Good can't win. If they were the good guys they would have no issue with the heroes winning.
Virtually all of Kagome's immense spiritual power is sealed away from her use.ryuan said:Which one of them? We helped Tatsuki, Ranma unfortunatelly went away too fast, who else is left?
Somebody from sunndale?
Did we noticed she had all her spiritual power sealed away or something? Besides, she will be fine by herself.Alratan said:Virtually all of Kagome's immense spiritual power is sealed away from her use.

His focus is summoning, so instead of meteor swarm, which is frankly shit, he will be opening GATES.tenchifew said:Ichio is also bound, although he also was in canon if I remember correctly.
And regarding super prodigies: I think Alex has a realistic chance to cast his first meteor swarm before age ten. Ninth level spells at the age of nine... This would be... interesting?
No, we did our best not to find out.ryuan said:Did we noticed she had all her spiritual power sealed away or something? Besides, she will be fine by herself.

Please don't dismiss Larry. We have yet to text him for magical potential.Alratan said:To be honest, he's not going to be able to keep up. We need to give him something to try to prevent him becoming collateral damage, but he's not going to be suitable for the front lines.
For some reason from the hints given I think Larry Grandmother was a Hunter with her amazing stories. If this is the case Cordy will be the Ki adept of our little group, Amy the magic girl, and Larry will be the Swiss army knife weapon user of guns, knives, and exploiting weaknesses.Nightblade said:Please don't dismiss Larry. We have yet to text him for magical potential.
They still shouldn't flat out dismiss Larry. Guy could be a weaponry expert.GhostKing 666 said:Yeah we have. Him and Cordy, they are both zilch in the magic department without years of training. And even then they won't be able to do more then some minor tricks.
OOC: No. I look at Alex's ranks to get an idea of how well he can pursue the course of action selected by the winning vote, and then let my muse out.LanguagAe said:Off topic a bit but are their dice deciding how successful our actions are going to be.
Lets do this thing! We'll prove to ourselves that we're superior to Ganondorf by successfully beating a puzzle test!Mental Prowess: D. You have very good mental capabilities for someone of your age. You're near the top of your classes, have no problem with books written for the under-13 audience (when you care to read), and are a fair hand at solving all sorts of puzzles.Take that, Link!
