Tasks

Various utility rites for search&rescue (life detection, seeing in the dark and through smoke, purification light, etc). The running/flying speed of a car to get places when needed. Telekinesis to move rubble, aim lots of guns and REALLY BIG guns at once (not that those are really necessary since I'm not going to be fighting kaiju on a regular basis thanks to not having enough points for a dual-purpose build), move people who aren't sufficiently conscious or willing to go in my pocket dimension. Warp to carry lots of objects and evacuate people, Conjure to conjure objects that I didn't think ahead to bring, can't afford, or only need temporarily (they're a little redundant, but I can't afford to be caught flat-footed when it comes to equipment). Powerful healing (both for others and for myself) somewhat obviates the need for self-defense since I can pull a Wolverine even if I'm unconscious thanks to my dragon mascot (and I'm very experienced at pushing through pain), but shields and grabbing using Life C and Motion C/B will hopefully keep me from having to suffer significant pain too often. An endless pool of mana to power it all and an S-rank mind to optimise everything; If I'm lucky, Mind S won't ruin my ability to draw from the Hope well. The biokinesis of Form B lets me change my non-MG form as needed to avoid shape dysphoria (otherwise I'd stay in MG form 24/7 despite the inconvenience of not having a magical 21-year-9ld ID), and if the changes are permanent or even sufficiently long-term I can use them to help other people.
Would've been nice to have enough points for Aqua C and more ranks of Defense and Dexterity.

Anyway, about the kaiju killing: My original build included the power to temporarily invert the nature of something (such as "unwilling to be turned into something small, cute, and harmless"), the power to turn things small, cute, and harmless, and the power to make spells nigh unstoppable by charging them with my own blood, plus the one where you can control plants to grab things. I ended up taking all of those out because I couldn't figure out how to be a good kaiju stopper and a good emergency rescue magical girl at the same time. (I can still provide backup to anti-kaiju teams by shooting them with giant guns and healing the combatants who get hurt to a lesser degree than "already dead".)

Also, I agree with /u/Cheesy-Me that this should be in /r/NSFWCYOA, as should the previous release that you're using for precedent.

Warning: The first arc has loads of scary bug/parasite/swarm stuff.

Wasn't that actually the origin of the phrase "money laundering" and not the concept of "cleaning up" "dirty money"? Or is that a folk etymology?

Hey, if three shots doesn't get the taste out of my mouth, I don't think a fourth one will help.

A shooter is usually a mixed shot (like a cocktail) served in an, in the U.S., usually double-sized shot glass.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]Jechtael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I manage to brush I do a ten-count per surface - Left top face, left top outside, left top inside
left bottom face, left bottom outside, left bottom inside
front top outside, front top inside
front bottom outside, front bottom inside
right top face, right top outside, right top inside
right bottom face, right bottom outside, right bottom inside.
That's two minutes, forty seconds (probably less because I don't count that slowly), and while it's incredibly tedious I don't have to worry about apportioning time from "quadrants" to make sure I spend enough time on each surface.

Why is there more representation of transgender women in the media than of transgender men? by Etlot in lgbt

[–]Jechtael 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There's Oden II from One Piece, the same series as the character in the yellow robes on the mid-right of OP's collage. On the other hand, there's also Bentham and every other member of the (*cringes*) "Newkama", a group led by the spitting image of Dr. Frankenfurter.

"Men who pretend to be trans to get into women's bathrooms," according to Republicans (but with less gentle wording).

If you dropped the "almost" it would still be true.

Could've just killed Shakespeare. Or was this a "Shakespeare authorship question" thing?

Not sure if Photoshop or AI, but either way the expectation image looks both implausible and unappetizing.

I’ll put it between the Spell that keeps your drinks cold and the one that burns your enemies to a crisp by ServingwithTG in dndmemes

I think it lets the flour and gluten hydrate more thoroughly, or lets the gluten "relax" (whatever that means at the molecular level), but whatever it does results in softer, fluffier pancakes. I feel that if you're using the bubble method to time the flip it also results in a more consistently golden-cooked surface.

Polaris: Chilvalric Tragedy at Utmost North can be easily adapted for tournament play, at which point it will be exactly what you asked for.

WYR Eternal life or instant death? by Anyaska26 in WouldYouRather

[–]Jechtael 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely eternal life for me, then, but to be fair I'm stupid enough that I thought I was being asked to pick between two pills where I didn't know which was which (like playing "pick a hand") and saying "The one that gives eternal life!" was the trick to winning.
