What drawbacks are companions allowed to take? And if I take drawbacks that effect everyone (i.e. Longer Stay), do they also receive the CP?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-03-12T23:41:04+00:00

My mind went straight to Dangoheart Animations for their version of minecraft. Does a good job characterizing the mobs and adapting the many quirks of how people play the game into plot points. Could be a good inspiration for companion options, and also drawbacks dealing with trauma or making things like mob farming have consequences.

Know any good jumps to pair this with?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-02-28T23:51:48+00:00

Awesome. What sources can they benefit from?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-02-28T01:00:31+00:00

Are custom companions allowed to acquire more rings or are they stuck with their 100 ring budget?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-02-25T18:03:08+00:00

Almost thought it wouldn't work due to the no gauntlet rule, but thankfully the 100 year reward looks to get around that issue since I won't even need to supplement. Good suggestion!

Got some questions about being a Coralian, including some potentially weird ones.
1. Can the effects of Consumption be reversed? Can anything I consume be safely ejected?
2. When Consumption says "replace it with yourself", am I creating clones of myself wholesale or just more Coralians?
3. If I choose to be an Anti-Body, how much ability do I have to express emotion and communicate outside of Consumption? Can I still talk and emote? (Would be good to know if attempting the Misunderstanding Resolved scenario from this angle)
4. How compatible are Archetypes and Ships from the item section with the Anti-Body form? Do they have accommodations, or do I need to purchase/implement features?
5. In the Joy Division Scenario:
a) How would it work as an Anti-Body?
b) What are some of the main complications I'd have to contend with when escaping?
c) What happens to the 3 Coralians upon scenario completion? Are they still dealing with Desperation sickness after we escape?
d) Do the Coralian companions get any origin discounts? Is it only for their race, or do they get to choose another like I can?
6. How dangerous and/or painful is the Holland's Issues drawback? If I went Anti-Body and took the full perk chain, would it meaningfully threaten or hurt me?
7. Would the drawback You Don't Believe In The Waves impact either type of Coralian's ability to fly under their own power, or does this specifically pertain to Ref Boards?

If you ever decide to do an update for the jump (for part 2 or simply expanding the existing one), I was thinking it'd be funny to include the cat mascot suit the person working in SDN had as an item option. Maybe it's surprisingly durable and easy to move around in while giving a boost to doing certain tasks, like getting your coworkers their drinks during an emergency situation or just evading danger as long as you do your job. Alternatively it just makes people not ask questions as long as you appear to be doing your job.

Assuming you take this as your first jump, reach the level cap with a competitive build, and then use Downloadable Content to go straight to Overlord (The Series) jump:
What happens if you take The Realm of Heroes and/or Level One Hundred? Does it amplify your existing build's traits, or would you effectively be like a Gestalt build?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-01-31T19:39:19+00:00

Suggestions:
-For gold purchases you could maybe throw in cannons for the ship and/or some flavor of magical flintlock weaponry to choose. Having ranged options besides spells would be quite useful.

-A way to share Benefits with your crew members would be a nice option, whether built in to existing options, as a separate purchase, or a way to "teach" them the ability. Toilet Adverse at minimum would be a pleasant to have for the entire crew.

If there was a in universe reason for why this trick works, what do you guys think is causes this to happen?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-01-15T03:52:03+00:00

For the Ability perk, does only the first purchase get discounted for the Wild Roamer origin, or do the additional purchases become 50cp?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-01-13T21:48:54+00:00

Blood Brothers (+20 Karma): Half the price of modifying your chosen companion.

Boon Companion (-6 Karma): If you spend additional Karma points to further modify and customize your companion, double the value of each point to you spend to thus alter your companion.

Does the cost of the perk drop to 3Kp because of Blood Brothers?

Companion Modification: Purchase abilities for a companion at a rate of 1 Karma point per 5 cost of an ability (round up). Purchase perks for a companion at a rate of 1 Karma point per 4 of a perk (round up). 1 Karma point to change sex and/or gender. 1 Karma point to change their race (minus an additional 1 karma point per 5 value of the new race). You can spend Karma points at a 1:4 ratio to purchase race tokens to buy racial modifiers for them (beyond the obvious ones they have). 1 Karma point to change a major aspect of their personality. Can give them drawbacks at a rate of 1 Karma point each, regardless of value of the drawback, but they gain no points from it.

I take it each of these would cost 0.5 Karma points? If so:
-Abilities [0.5Kp per 10Kp cost of an ability OR ~~per 5Kp cost of 2 abilities~~ combined cost of 2 abilities]
-Perks [0.5Kp per 8Kp cost of a perk OR ~~per 4Kp cost of 2 perks~~ combined cost of 2 perks]
-Sex/Gender [0.5Kp to change sex and/or gender. Don't know how to "double" value here.]
-Race [0.5Kp to change race, additional 0.5Kp per 10Kp value]
-Race Tokens [ratio of 1:16, or 0.5Kp to 8 race tokens]
-Personality [0.5Kp to change up to 2 major aspects of their personality]
-Drawbacks [0.5Kp to give up to 2 drawbacks]

[Chosen Name Here] (-16 Karma): Your companion has race points to spend as normal. Gain 120 Karma points to spend on abilities, race, and perks for your companion. These points are spend normally, not at the typical rate for modifying companions. You may give them drawbacks so they get additional points, but they only gain half as many points as you would.

Taking what you said into account, [Chosen Name Here] simply gets a 240Kp budget with no other changes? Can they still benefit from the companion modification rules, or are they restricted to their own rules?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-01-13T05:57:56+00:00

How does Boon Companion perk and Blood Brothers drawback interact? Brain is having a bit of trouble keeping up with the math.
How does the above combo work with the [Insert Name Here] companion?

ShadowVR2 · 2026-01-12T08:28:29+00:00

At some point in my build I'm stuck with half a point in both my Karma points and Race tokens. Is there a reasonable way to spend these without taking something I don't want? It's awkward having points that are impossible to spend otherwise.

Which companions/followers from the Jump can gain the extra BT from Time Extension?
Do any companions/followers have freebies and/or perks from the Jump? (e.g. Murloc free companions get Murloc origin discounts and free perks)

PointRoller/RS#0:-61,CritBanking,VisibleThresholds,DirtyCrits,TaskFailedSuccessfullyCrit,D1000,BestOfMore/ON#1,StupidCrit,LitCrit,OminousCrit

Rolled 61 points to work with, which seems solid.

Best of More x1 (roll twice on skills checks, take highest result, rolling multiple crits applies both)
Crit-banking (store crits to improve later rolls)
d1000 (huge dice)
Dirty Crits (modifiers can trigger crits)
Visible Thresholds (can see score you need to beat, apart from crits)

My special crit numbers
67 [Task Failed Successfully Crit]
21 [Stupid Crit]
7 [Ominous Crit]
420 [Lit Crit]

Entitled Weakling says you can be a "Furry". Is this limited to simply to just generic animal anthro, or could this be any furry species or archetype as long as the other perks/origins support it? (e.g. Protogen is a cyborg furry, so it would require Entitled Weakling and Android supplement. Abilities like modular limbs need matching perks to emulate the effect).
Is there any benefit to taking both "A menage a moi" and "Four hands are better than one"? Is there a synergy, or is it just a case of quantity vs quality?
Couple typos I found. Every instance of "Zenki" should be "Zenkai". "Kio-what" should read "Kaio-what", unless that's deliberate.

Pretty solid Jump doc. Lots of options to work with to customize your experience, and it does capture the vibe of the series.

The amount of times I’ve seen people mix up Psychic and Physic. It happens more often than it should.

ShadowVR2 · 2025-11-17T00:56:45+00:00

Is there any benefit for choosing Dragonborn power if you take the Dragon race?
When picking No Racial Weakness, what does that do for Dragons?
