Unlike Burn, which gets one last tick and then the status expires on round start, Vampiric Legume's HP drain on being Immobilized doesn't get this last tick. It cures Immobilize (round tick), and doesn't roll to see if you should do anything on that tick.

Which effectively makes Ingrain a 2 round effect.. Which is also considered a negative effect for you immobilizing yourself.

So you can accidentally cleanse it, or lower the duration on it.

Youkai invokes are wildly versatile, though at the cost of actually having to have said youkai (you have a cap), and also leveling up said youkai (A grind).

To this end, by the end of the grind for them, their invocations are... 300% ele attack. Which, in a world where we've finally gutted Impure Element, the only real 'problem' child nowadays is Luminary Element, so their damage is GENERALLY the same as any ordinary spell (80 ele attack x 3 is 240) which is a bit over what an average spell could do (Air pressure, for instance, is 100/100 swa+ele scaling. Generally speaking, this spell SHOULD be hitting for 200+, but it's an adjustable AoE).

On the flip side, most invocations do a good amount of single target damage with a rider effect (Ruby beam is blind). The problem that I have today is the FP scaling.

It's, genuinely, from a bygone era. Most Youkai don't even have the FP to use their moves for prolonged periods because of this FP increase and them not getting good WIL.

Also Ichor Veil raises the FP cost on players using it, despite the player version of it NOT being able to use the increased scaling/damage.

Mechanations using Sturdy Standard Frame (Trait) and Weather Body (MA MC Skill) cannot gain the benefit of Weathered Body.

Which is kind of silly, considering.

I'm just trying to figure out WHAT is going on with Youkai EXP. I have Tutor, I have Brain Food. I have 42 apt. One fight, Suzaku is getting less EXP than Nacht (Makes sense. I have tutor, and Nacht is lower level than me!) The next? I level up before Suzaku (I get 45, then Suzaku gets 45. But it displayed I leveled up before Suzaku did)... And they're now getting.. more EXP than Nacht???? By 10k. Does Friendship play a part in how much exp is gained?

System: Suzaku gained 10892 EXP.
System: Nacht gained 17591 EXP.


System: Suzaku gained 36974 EXP.
System: Suzaku grew to Level 45!
System: Nacht gained 26410 EXP.
System: Nacht grew to Level 41!

What is even going on here.

When you choose to start on Korvara can all Lore and Notifications from G6 (Great Six) be turned off by default? It feels weird to be on Korvara then getting a notice for Black Beasts attacking Tannis or Dormeho. Also add a notification when Snakeman are assaulting Duyuei's wall, that be very helpful in the grand scheme of Korvara.

Applicable BYOND Key - Xinit1

Character Name - Unsure

Request Type - Character Appearance

Request -  I want to have an Oni with grey skin, instead of the usual red/blue or normal skintones.

Reason why you are making this request - It would take me hours of work to recolour everything, and I'd rather have it approved.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - I'm going for an 'Oni Mage' sort of character, who frequently studies fire magic and the arcane -- unlike her other kin, which use their strength in more direct forms of combat. Even though someone like her would be quite strange in the current lore, I believe that it wouldn't be that far-fetched and unusual.

The play-by I'm using, Calamitas, fits that aesthetic perfectly, and I believe that what I have in mind will fit perfectly in Yokoshura.

I believe that Spirit Pain should require a minimum of two enemies to trigger its effect, and that it should not function against Boss enemies.  

Using the invocation in a 1v1 scenario against someone who relies on basic attacks, or basic attacking mobs, provides a skewed reward for a D-rank invocation.  In many cases, it fully prevents any meaningful damage from being dealt for up to 7 rounds.  In a class that already has several strong tools against basic attackers, it stands out as something a little cheesy and uninteractable if it can't be silenced before it goes off. Items and gear can't mitigate the effect in any meaningful way, since it's a field effect that applies a status every turn instead of just being a one-time status.  

There is an argument to be made that nobody will use Spirit Pain once enemy count reaches 4 or more, and removing the effect against 1 target is a large percent of those use cases, but Hexer already has plenty of invocations that excel in high density scenarios.

Using Karakuri Longarm on yourself does not recover 2m as advertised.

The math for elite engine ain't good.

using one charge at a time at 35% damage doesn't do much for it at all. It comes up 45% short of non elite engine charge attacks whilst having to spread that damage over three instances. The utility of saving a charge is also lost when toggling potential doesn't work right.

I propose a change to make it a useful potential that encourages toggling! 

Scrap charge weapon (elite) and have Elite engine build normal charge, have it do the following:

On hit with a basic attack, only consume one charge instead of 3, adding 50% damage like base charge. Excel crash skills will only be first level when this skill is toggled on, and will preserve all other collected levels.

What this does is allow for one to use basics and excel crashes without wasting every stack, meaning on full charge you can still basic into an excel crash to still preserve that 2 charge special effect. It's all positives and adds to the weapons that have elite engine, more charge control adds more build diversity! (it certainly makes playing classes like arb a whole lot more interesting at least!)

Character Name - Yukina & Yuzuki
Request Type - Death?
Request Details - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onry%C5%8D

Specific Request - In effect, this would mean both characters died before present time. With the rise of hardcore (DL4) characters, sister spirits have been summoned from death for one last attempt at affecting change. A resistance against the quo, they arise from an era where Oni are pushed to the brink, corralled and treated like cattle. Pushed into 'Great' Oni only to be slaughtered for the Myr. The red and blue duo exist as vengeful souls determined to tear down existing structures in retribution for the wrongs brought upon their kind.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I feel it plays into the hardcore vibe, giving a bit of a Final Fantasy X Tidus moment where a character that never truly existed managed to shake characters to their very core via their unshakable convictions and views.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - There are plenty of references to asian spirits within the lore, an Onryo or other vengeful spirit is not exactly out of the question. How they are allowed to interact with the world and/or classification associated (Haunted) is another story. Realistically, this is an application of safety so we don't tread on any toes.
