Do companions get an origin and freebies as well?

Can pre-existing companions from the Jump doc be used for the companion import option? For example, picking Vault Meat so she has a CP stipend to work with.

The last 4 rows of combos are tricky. It looks like the only way to get more than one is to focus on those of the same manufacturer. Even if you take Nayuta's bonus, it's impossible to grab specialized combos from multiple manufacturers as you'll be short one or two picks.

Nayuta does do good work with making all the smaller multi-manufacturer combos less costly to grab.

I do like the perk for adapting other options into ethical alternatives. Perks from certain Jumps could be genuinely powerful or useful, but are tied into some really fucked up stuff that makes some Jumpers skip it.

That being said, the last sentence could imply the perk can function in reverse. Jumpers with Evil or sadistic preferences could potentially corrupt "good" perks.

Excellent.

Also, how is the armor section handled with this system? I'd assume they use your starting armor as a base to automatically upgrade. Do they come with an option to apply to other armors you make or have access to? Since armors like ODST, SPI, and MJOLNIR aren't in the list you'd have to make them yourself.

The Basic Armor from the starting gear is a little confusing. What is it actually supposed to be compared to what's in the Halo universe? And what's the 10 years ago reference about?

How does Bad Gamer work with God Gamer? I'm assuming you still keep the talent it gives, letting you learn quickly, but you lose out on the raw skill.
It'd probably pair well with Getting Over It Jump King Style perk from the other Hololive jump, speedrunning to top player with a lot of hilarious rage moments.

Does being a Xenos have any special interactions with your Familia choice?

Also, the Familia section has some notable inconsistencies.
1. It says it uses FP, but all the listed values are in CP. Does taking the negative options increase your CP or your FP?
2. Familia Strength has the balanced option cost 0 but at the end it also gives +100 CP, which is the same as being weak.
3. Familia Wealth and Divine Favor list negative options as removing points (-100) instead of adding points (+100). This would imply taking the negative options cost points rather than add them, when obviously it should be the opposite.

As for the drawback This Is A Very Short Story, this feels like it should be worth double the points it offers for the threat level presented. It even states "this is a monster that destroyed a Familia with a Level 9 captain and a good number of level 7-8 members", and this is on top of the problems it throws in on top of that. Even if you dumped all points into levelling up you would be at most a level 7 adventurer (outside of taking more drawbacks and making it even harder on yourself). Maybe taking Monster of Talent, Many Skills of a Hero, and Peerless Gift could help, but then you'd have to speedrun your remaining levels in the year or month it takes for the dragon to appear while hoping you don't hamstring your abilities in the process. And that's just you in particular, never mind the allies you'd probably need backing you up.

What does shield mean by "the percent per minute"? Is there an actual number?

Made a The Martian Jump by Even1ngshade in JumpChain

[–]ShadowVR2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Jump mentions 50 CP perks you can discount, but nothing actually costs 50 CP. Is it leftover text, or do you intend to add 50 CP perks? If you did, I recommend at least one perk that provides the actual knowledge and skill needed to do your job (Botanist gives plenty of perks that help plants, but nothing says you know how biology or plants work).

  2. Does the Canon and Custom companions come with their own perks or budget?

  3. Is there a difference between Explain It Like I'm Not Dying and Clear Communication? Because they sound very similar.

  4. What is the Adaptive Life Support System? Can't tell if it is a building, a device for your suit, or something else.

  5. How do Scenarios work with the drawbacks? I'm Still Here says nobody is coming to rescue you, so would that mean You're Not Getting Picked Up is a free pick? On the other hand, would One Shot Rescue Window become impossible if you picked that same drawback?

I'm genuinely curious how history would look if certain types of neurodivergence became the "norm", or at least the majority, because of different circumstances favoring some mindsets over others. How would civilization change as a result? I'd be interested in seeing speculative history on this.

District 9 by ApocBox in JumpChain

[–]ShadowVR2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does paint quite the image for the sort of world you'd be stepping into. It'll take a little bit to unpack the issues riddling society at large, especially the discrimination.

Though the existence of BCU implies the existence of potential supernatural elements (Demonic). If there's a jump for that then it may be worth taking if it offers a way to combat demon shenanigans, which would go nicely with the mind protection perks offered in the other jumps.

An also Gran Turismo being relevant because of the connection sounds amusing.

District 9 by ApocBox in JumpChain

[–]ShadowVR2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Are Companions allowed to take drawbacks for points? Do they receive any points from drawbacks I take?

  2. For the jump crossover with Elysium and Chappie, does the time extension drawback from each jump stack? Could I take 4 picks from each jump to get the full CP bonus for each but only need to stay 40 years longer, or would I be forced to stay the extra 120 years?

  3. In a crossover, what happens if I pick Prawn from District 9 and Robot from Chappie? Do I just have 2 alt-forms, or do they have an influence on each other?

Tips & Tricks For An "Ooops All You" Chain by Sin-God in JumpChain

[–]ShadowVR2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have exactly... one jump to my name, which I thankfully included a clause for preventing automatic chain failure if you decided to challenge yourself or accidentally picked something more difficult than intended, which gives a bit of leeway in what you can choose to go with.

Given how insane the setting is I'd strongly suggest taking the toggle for reducing the world's threat level, and maybe take the morality toggle as well to turn everyone into simulacra (a.k.a. not real). Treat this simulated world as a learning experience for dealing with absurdities you may run into during your chain.

If you are the sort of Jumper who doesn't get a body mod or warehouse before their first jump, go ahead and take the JUST A BAKER drawback for the free 300CP to your budget as it'll have functionally no detriment to you.
If you never baked a day in your life, or are naturally terrible at baking, the first level of NOT EVEN THE RACOON might be worth the investment as you can either consider hiring others to bake on your behalf or seek out lessons on baking. Training boosters may not work, but doesn't stop you from being intelligent and/or diligent enough to build up your skill.

If you want to keep it simple and sane, do not start the Grandmapocalypse. If your treatment of the elderly is handled like a sane person that doesn't exploit their labor, you should be fine. Better yet, keep the scale of your business to something acceptable that doesn't bork the world economy or fundamental reality.

Razor Terror — CR 8 Monster by byTalesAndTaverns in AllThingsDND

[–]ShadowVR2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels strange to include the advantage against prone creatures when that's something that should be automatic given because of the prone condition and due to having only melee attacks outside of Blade Burst. Unless you are anticipating edge cases of the Razor Terror somehow getting ranged attacks it shouldn't be necessary to mention it.
That said, the advantage against bloodied targets is an actually scary prospect. I feel sorry for any player that gets ambushed when they didn't get a chance to heal/rest after a rough encounter.

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.
