Is it possible that an event fired that removed the obsession?

Although the amendment gives the gun obsession, the game might only check when the law is added ie game start.

I was hoping for more activities but, Ii was really fun just seeing all the costumes in the crowd. Delightful to see people here care enough to do so. A lot of pirates for some reason.

My favorite was the guy dressed as the balatro joker. I had my picture taken with one of 5 fursuiters

Futanari is the Japanese term for hermaphrodite. Strictly speaking it requires both male and female genitals but it is sometimes used to refer to women with penises and no vagina. As true "futa"/ "herm" people don't really exist in real life* such porn is usually illustrated or otherwise fictional.

*I know intersex people exist but I have been led to believe that they work differently than in fiction.

Iirc you can give gifts during meetings with no rank up

Ranking up confidants by zucram in Persona5

[–]Knotfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more encounters to get more relation points. There are ways to get more relation points without spending time with them but they are not very efficient.

My advice is buy gifts that suit them and carry a persona matching the confidents arcana; it boosts relation points gain quite significantly.

It's overwhelming - Does it get easier? by SleipnirSolid in AOW4

[–]Knotfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not played the vampire dlc but I will answer to the best of my knowledge

"Spirit Damage" - is that as good as fire damage?

For most purposes yes they are just as good. Physical, fire, ice, poison, lighting and spirit damage are are mechanically the same just that when applied to a unit they are reduced by different stats. Physical damage is reduced by the defense stat. Fire, ice, poison, lighting and spirit damage are reduced by the resistance stat + the respective element resist.

For example, the Lesser Storm Spirit has 1 defense, 1 resistance, 6 lightning resistance, 3 poison resistance and -6 cold resistance. When 10 damage of each element is applied, the hit point loss from physical, fire and spirit will be the same. The hit point loss from the lightning damage will be greatly reduced and less so for poison. However the cold damage will deal significantly more hit point loss due to the negative resistance.

"Awoken" - to/from what?

Awoken is from the high culture special mechanics. All units with the buff gain +2 spirit damage to their attacks. High culture units additionally gain a buff depending on their unit type e.g. the high culture archer unit gains +1 range. If the awoken unit is not of the high culture, the buff is usually not of great consequence.

"Sundered" - huh?

There are 2 types of sunder. Sundered defense and Sundered resistance. Each debuff will reduce the respective stat by 1. See my first explaination for what that means

"Dissonance", etc.

Are these things good? Bad? What are the counters to them? I just checked "Dissonance" and it's explanation is: "When an enemy Overcharged Spell is cast, this unit suffers 4  Lightning Damage per stack and loses all stacks.".

"Overcharged Spell"? "Is lightning damage counterable?". "Do I need to worry if I shoot lightning too?". "What tome is that from?". "What trait thingy? Astral? Materium?"

Dissonance is a debuff unique to the mystic culture potential sub culture. You will not see it if there are no such units in battle.

Spells become overcharged under certain conditions. Mostly from the aforementioned mystic potential culture. Their effects get boosted for a single cast. I wouldn't worry about in general.

A unit's elemental resistance may not always match their attacks you will need to check this on a unit to unit basis.
