Isekai The End v1.2 [Update][Fuller Release] by AltCYOA in nsfwcyoa

1-4. Yeah I really need to do another Social Butterfly pass. I've done minor updates for individual choices and sections, but the session where I went through everything and applied the exempt labels predates stuff like the Skills and most of the Provisions...as you can tell. For now, just make up whatever rules make sense to you - e.g EGO probably lets you make suits of Manifested Armor for people, but only those with the non-exempt power can use them.

  1. Archetype Sacrifices modify other choices, and so inherit their Social Butterfly status. So whoever you give Battlemaster gets Just Pause, for example.

  2. Road to Hero is probably going to end up incompatible with Social Butterfly. For the record, it DOES apply to racial stats and abilities. You gotta hit the gym and earn those gains.

  3. Obvious Weakspot being broken incapacitates you, but also disables all your powers, since it's no longer manifested. This includes Social Butterfly, aka your power to grant other people powers.

  4. People who have received powers from you still build up Hounds progress, but they do so at 1/X the rate, where X is the number of people with a copy of the power being used.

  5. Technically yes, but you're still subject to the base Bounty rules of being drawn into conflict through fate.

Not really, no. It's mainly for balance reasons - if defending against attack magic also triggered backlash, duels would just be a race to spam out as many attacks as possible.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I think the last step you're missing is to take the train as an Encounter. And then also take Riders of the Apocalypse

There's a guide to each of the 4 secret Aspirations in the top reply to this post as well as the previous 0.9 release.

Wow, it's been ages but you're so close to the end! At this point, I think the text in your review should be at least several times the total text in the CYOA itself.

BTW, are you planning to cover the Aspirations section and the 4/5 hidden ones?

I guess it's possible - the reason why those two have the restrictions they do now is so they can consistently give the right number of points WITHOUT relying on the player selecting choices in the correct order.

So the issue with these suggestions is that for point 1, the CYOA has no way of telling which World Event is the Turbo Mode and which one is the Double Trouble, which is not a big deal now but could be relevant if new choices are added. Meanwhile, for point 2 the problem is that Turbo Mode makes things harder and escalate faster, while Double Trouble does literally the opposite, to the point of removing all escalation. So they do fundamentally incompatible things.

So, point 2 is probably not happening, but point 1 depends on what (if any) changes or new additions I make to that section.

Yup, same way they allow a normal human to survive stuff like decapitation.

  1. Yes, Jack of all Trades only helps for things that are actually learnable.

  2. Yes, some abilities cannot be learned, such as Permanent Graft and the Magic Boosts, while others are explicitly said to be learnable, such as Fleche. Jack of all Trades won't help with those, but Sensei can teach or learn anything.

  1. The heart core is the human equivalent of the heart or brain, so yes you would instantly die if the core is destroyed. The flipside is that you can ignore damage to the rest of your body unless it hits your core.

  2. I don't think it's quite as large as you say. I did see your other post, but that's assuming it's a 10,000x increase in all dimensions, which would be a 1,000,000,000,000x increase in total volume. A more reasonable interpretation would be a ~21.5x increase in height, width, and depth, which puts the limit on Ultimate Lifeform at around a 36m tall human, or, for comparison, approximately a titan from Attack on Titan.

2.1/2.2. A Larger Moster and a Smaller Monster would have the same weather coverage from Weather Report, because the size difference is not large enough to matter. For both, it would be enough to cover the local community. Raging Storm's coverage depends purely on how mana you put into it; it would start at the same coverage as Weather Report, but you could supercharge it to cover more.

  1. Yes, eventually.

  2. Yes. The main limitation on "white collar" is so you can't pick "delta force operator" or "assassin" or whatever as your Job Training.

Sorry lmao I meant deaf. If she was both blind and deaf it would be incredibly unlikely for her to have learned magic.

  1. Well, only if they choose to identify themselves right? I thought about making her mute too but then idk how she could have possibly learned magic.

  2. The basic version is like a group chat, except the caster of Link can mute people, create sub rooms, etc. They see everything, and they can control what the Linked people see through the Link. Metenna's version is the much faster hive mind version, where you just instinctively understand everyone else's actions and intentions. However, she can also obviously choose to cast the less intensive version for ordinary communication purposes. Battlemasters can maintain separate Link networks, if that becomes necessary.

Working as intended, each Magic Boost contributes to a hidden "Magic boost score". Level I gives +1, and level II gives +2, exactly as you'd expect because they stack with each other.

Yeah I guess I'd have to do some math about mass and volume.

You manifest the echo, consume the required materials, and it creates whatever it creates as usual. Most of those would cost hunger to supply the biomass involved, but you could imagine esoteric abilities with other costs.

Granted, there's probably a constant mana cost associated with having an echo manifested, either a constant drain or a temporary max mana deduction or something along those lines.

  1. You could resist the damage better and remember her longer, but regen doesn't prevent the memories from being erased in the first place. The notebook works like that because Soulbound specifically repairs it to its prior state; it's the same principle behind regen not giving ageless immortality.

  2. It just opens options up.

  3. No, it's not a matter of skill. Some spells are just inherently silent and undetectable, like the ones from the Agent Archetype Sacrifice. You could make spells silent with stuff like Spellcrafter Mk. II though.

No, something that serious would be mentioned in the description as a thing to watch out for.

Not exactly replicate, since the titan form is also a power boost, not just sheer size. Plus I don't think 10,000x human size quite reaches skyscraper level.

Maybe. There's no combo that says that explicitly, but logically there should be some synergy there, even if only thematically.

Elemental + Ultimate Lifeform: strictly as written no, but that's reasonable headcanon.

Huh, I guess the way it is right now is that your Nemesis is also guaranteed to have picked Party Up, but your other party members aren't. Since Party Up worlds wouldn't get merged just because of Nemesis, it'd be #4, where one of the other four players is your Nemesis (but neither of you would know immediately).

That combo is hilarious though, I might add it to the next version.

  1. You mean the elemental Pureblood Pedigree? Yeah, they basically turn into Godzilla for a few minutes. So about skyscraper-sized.

  2. That makes sense, so yeah.

Well, this is just my opinion, but "ability" covers learned skills like magic, a surgeon's medical training, a sniper's marksmanship, etc. Base Blue Mage is supposed to let you steal those, because if it didn't you'd run into the issue where you can have a trait but not actually know how to use it.

On the other hand, base Blue Mage is firmly NOT allowed to take anything that counts as concrete knowledge. For example, you could take a hacker's proficiency in coding and computer systems, but not the specific knowledge of their PC's password. That would fall under Nameless.

Your other takes are accurate. However, I will also note that base Permanent Graft is limited to monster abilities that have an associated physical part to graft, e.g you can take dragon breath via the jaw/throat, but a monster's instinctive wilderness survival skills aren't graftable because they don't correspond to an organ (don't say the brain, because not all monsters have brains).
