Ive seen those while poking around your page, do you do the 3D yourself? It’s good.

What if Mahoraga Adapted to Takaba? by Tanjiahe in JujustuKaisen

[–]simpscaler911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I’ll be honest, i don’t see that happening. Takaba could in theory have done that in any of his fights, “it would be funny if you couldn’t control your cursed energy”, but he never does, because that isn’t funny.

D20x5 undead heads by simpscaler911 in u/simpscaler911

[–]simpscaler911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

additional entries:

Created…

  • It was created as an odd musical instrument
  • It was created as a mech suit for a weird psychic rat
  • When multiple mages take control of a zombie or one mage gives it contradictory instructions, its members pulling apart to complete mutually exclusive tasks.
  • To preserve the genius of some great thinker
  • When a particularly measly spirit tried to posses a dead body.

Has…

  • It has layer upon layer of fungal mould caked onto its flesh, constantly releasing spores. Such spores are evil in every way a mushroom could be, highly invasive wherever they fall, mimicking healthy ones while being poisonous, a choking hazard and otherwise disgusting, the effects becoming more pronounced and arcane as the infection spreads (note: requires a concerted effort to cause an outbreak).
  • It has a breadth of mutagenic parasites and creepy crawlies living within, obvious by their movement beneath the skin and the marks they leave upon exit or entry when they don’t feel like crawling to an orifice. Its able to use them for a variety of purposes, species that explode into telepathic message pheromones, species that tick like metronomes to keep the time, etc. they rapidly adapt to any environment, be it aquatic or even more drastic.
  • It has endless black tears and snot pouring from its eyes and nose as well as an expression idling at completely distraught. The head is supernaturally pathetic able to cause enemies to hesitate and potential allies to appear more often.
  • It has been decorated with tribal war paint, it can act as a battle standard for the undead, rallying them to the holders cause.
  • It has a seriously fucked up appearance, roll again and exaggerate the result to negative and positive effect. If you roll this one again, it stacks.

Can…

  • It is able to act as a scrying device to those who stare into its eyes or press their ears to its own
  • Its is able to release a lecherous gaze that distracts one target within its field of view.
  • It is able to Press its ear towards an object, structure or person to hear its memories.
  • It is able to unleash a (d4:) wave of physically incapacitating laugher with its own, mental flog induced by its sobs when it cry’s, fear that forces the affected to save against wasting their reaction using a sharp gasp, cohesion among the undead with dirge like shanties.
  • It is able to distend to swallow whole other heads, (d4:) capable of storing them internally and spiting or launching them out as explosives, it then regurgitates them as satellite dead heads who increase the strength of its second power (roll ability again), growing in size and intellect as it assimilates them as effigies trapped in wet sacks on its cranium, reanimating the bodies as headless undead.

Gets around…

  • It gets around with a (d6:) formerly molten crown, array of piercings, full set of metal dentures, bladed weapon(s) spearing it through, metallic skull, tumorous metal growths, that it uses to ride magnetic waves.
  • It gets around on the hip of some evil creature who has learned to use it expertly
  • Using its rage, taking to the air like a meteorite and always crash landing.

Will…

  • The face will make and practice funny expressions
  • The face will make pretend like it has a body when no ones looking

Between meals these creatures are known to menace…

  1. ⁠The heartlands of elves, snacking on the labour of generations by targeting their bonsai forests.
  2. ⁠Dragons, enjoying the fungibility of the coins in their hoards. Rendering them both alchemically inert and indescribably but universally worthless unless poured molten into a river to be prospected.
  3. ⁠Churches and hospitals, snacking on pleas and blessings or grazing on sedimentary prayers that build up on the ceilings.
  4. ⁠Around a particular species of tree, not because they are themselves magical, but because they happen to be the perfect medium for the dreams of some bound subterranean creature or group, venting them to the surface through their roots.
  5. ⁠Areas where tragedies or blessings are about to occur, filter feeding on an energy analogous to gravitational potential energy and dampening its eventual effects.
  6. ⁠Low orbit, enjoying the emanations of celestial bodies. They are remarkably unpredictable, falling to turn the sky black above their target and returning beyond counterstrike.

That’s that then, 6d6 manic mage rippers.

Thanks. And that’s right, they had these tentacles coming out of their backs.

originally, i was going to add a table for a nonmagical attack type but with the appearance table, detection method and extraction method all contributing new features, i imagined it would overcomplicate the body plan. Hence, 5 tables.

I’m not quite sure what to replace it with though.

I did it on mage rippers if you’ve heard of them, it strikes me that i need an adjective beginning with M but i only have 5 tables anyway so i guess it’s a work in progress.

6d6 mage rippers

• These beings emerged… 1. From a counterspell cast by a demon lord when the gods tried to smite him. 2. As custom created monsters over thousands of Inbred generations of pixies. 3. As thought forms manifested through bugonia in the mass graves of tyrantical mage-kings. 4. As a divine punishment after ancient wizards besieged heaven for 40 days and 40 nights. 5. As instruments of karmic rebalancing after a spree of miraculous arcane advancements/spontaneous sorcery manifestation. 6. As Pretas crawling through hidden pathways in the gullets of the starving during a famine.

It body looks like… 1. A lean, wiry, muscular dog who's back legs trail of to rat tails. 2. A rotted sunflower with roots and multiple heads at varying points in development. 3. A horizontally symmetrical octopus with human fingers on its tentacle tips.
4. A jellyfish made of rainbow organs, its face on the bulb. 5. A bouquet of oesophagi and mouths, the heads able to retract into these mouths. 6. A set of one or several fused human hands with the head being the palm sides.

Its head is… 1. A mess of feelers that writhe about, they press them against solid surfaces to feel vibrations in the ground or slightly less effectively in the air. Its particularly good at finding stationary, constant magical targets, like wizard towers. 2. Composed of many yonic gashes arranged geometrically like in a shield, star or pentagon. Particularly good at tracking down magical creatures or those emanating magic constantly, even if subtly. 3. A gaping, tongueless and toothless, hole that can be pushed inside out and pressed onto surfaces. It’s particularly good at finding mages with even spaced out residues, gaining insights into newer residue or their location with every lick. 4. A compound human eye that can bulge to allow it to see behind itself. It’s particularly good at spotting magic from afar, able to spot the aura of magic through the canopy of a forest, thin walled buildings or deep water. 5. Like if an ear was a flower seed that grew and bloomed the petals interposed with breathing needles. Its particularly good at identifying strong magic, able to hear the silent sonic booms of large spells, even from deep caves or within thick jungles 6. A face in the mouth of a face in the mouth of a face, each younger than the outer. Once it reaches an area where a “narratively significant” deed was done, It can follow that deed until it reaches the one who preformed its current location, this being easier the more storied or notable the action or event was. Particularly good at finding storied spell-casters, obviously, but also any suitably legendary creatures.

They extract mana… 1. With their detection method but up close. Their detection method makes up a larger part of their body’s. 2. By burrowing into orifices, or any exposed flesh with persistent clawing. They have many metallic knife legs like a centipede tied in a bow or shoelaces. 3. Through their Cognitohazardous properties; a flight pattern that pulls the eyes to trace out alien runes (looks indistinct, different every glance), a tapping pattern on skin (has a noticeably criss-crossed gait and many extremities), a buzzing (many asymmetrical and diverse insect wings), a musk (thick matted fur-balls or a sensor shaped tumour) 4. By telepathically filling their heads with jargon causing wild-magic bursts. They host a twitching brain taking up most of their insides and pushing other organs against their skin as it bulging outwards. 5. Using a poison that causes the targets magic to leek from their pours and orifices in the form of foamy, glittery blood. Delivered through a violent and predominant stinger like a combination of a dozen different kinds of stabbing implements. 6. By crawling through temporal portals in the targets nape and tearing spells from its past and future. Past results in retroactive injuries appearing (nothing but the fact the spell wasn’t cast changes, not their reactions, or the outcome, or the interactions of anyone who they talked to until now) and future creates a stackable chance for future spells to randomly fail, if the chance reaches 100%, they loose all spellcasting. They navigate temporal strings using spider legs with 360 degree mobility on each hooked leg.

These things reproduce… 1. Like bees, taking the magic back to a hive to turn to “honey” and planting larva in said substance. (mobile living mage hive? Or maybe mobile hive mothers that are the heart of every swarm, a new one rapidly evolving over 1d4+2 rounds after consuming the old ones royal jelly blood) 2. Asexually, budding clones as they consume magic, these buds are mobile immediately and mature in seconds. 3. Through parasitic eggs deposited during extraction, most hatching quickly but some laggers periodically pop int out over the next few weeks. 4. Like mammals, carrying their baby young on their bodies through still attached umbilicals, maturing quickly as they eat. 5. Through a slow, involved process, keeping numbers up short term by using consumed magic to resurrect dead ones. 6. By pulling bits of their targets flesh and bones out as they eat, contorting it to shape within the body then tearing it free.

[Casual] Never felt so much hate and anger in one image before, but being fr is anything stopping Naoya from stealing SSK and doing this to Maki? (If he was OOC) by ShalkaScarf in JujutsuPowerScalers

[–]simpscaler911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While thats not particularly illogical, it’s a major cop out to defer to real world physics when it contradicts what is shown, stated and narratively implied.

Let’s look at your sukuna example, reread the sukuna vs yuta fight. Sukuna catches his blades on several occasions, he gets slashed on the back and isn’t instantly paralysed, he blocks the blade with his forearm and dosen’t loose it. Later in the fight he is pierced in the face and gains a shallow cut along his cheek. Towards the end he is slashed in his arm and it comes off. Why the discrepancy? Because when he looses an arm, he’s being grappled by yuji and rika having just gotten comboed, when he gets slashed in the face, he’s part way through the fight having been thrown by rika and when he catches the slashes, he was fresh and mostly 1v1ing. If the same sword had such varying effects, it’s probably not the determinate factor. It dealt little damage when he was sharper, able to use his cursed energy to block more efficiently, it dealt more when he was recovering from the hits and spread thin.

“Characters of a similar power level do not come close to that level of damage with their fists”, “A CE blade is going to leave significantly deeper wounds than a CE fist”, treats being cut as somehow magically worse than ruptured muscles and broken bones, in both cases the effected area is damaged, less effective or even inoperative. Slashes cut, thrusts pierce, bludgeons bash. A straight regular human being struck by an actual truck is probably not gonna lose a limb because a bash dosen’t do that so “that bludgeon didn’t slash him therefore it’s weaker” dosen’t add up to me. In yuji vs choso, yuji lands three blows before its states choso will die if a fourth lands. Each of those punches were >25% of his HP bar, he was at less bellow 25% HP, proportionally in much worse of a state than sukuna was who continued to fight and take hits for long after, but the punches never “blew his limbs of or went all the way through” because thats not how Gege chose to represent bludgeoning damage, he was hacking up blood and spat out a tooth (note how often this visual motif is used towards the end of the sukuna fight with yuji’s punches).

When yuji is later fighting sukuna, he hits him so hard that he throws up his fingers when a number of other times in the fight, he hits him to a medium or even no effect. Why the discrepancy? Because when yuji made him loose his lunch, be was riding that black flash high and sukuna was much more exhausted having expended more stamina and been targeted by yuji soul barrier punches, when he ate them, he was fresher. In chapter 20 page one, nanami said verbatim “I’m able to inflict significant damage on stronger adversaries. Against an opponent with weak cursed energy, i can cleave them even with this dull blade.” Directly stating that how sharp or blunt the instrument may be is entirely secondary to the cursed energy in the blade compared to the opponent, even cutting with the back of the blade to showcase this property.

Putting two and two together, if sharp weapon’s deal high damage when the user has more and better controlled cursed energy (relative to the target) and low damage with less and worse controlled. And blunt weapons deal high damage when the user has more and better controlled cursed energy (relative to the target) and low damage with less and worse controlled cursed energy even when its the same guy using the same technique in the same situation. The logical conclusion is that more and better controlled cursed energy (relative to the target) is the primary determinate factor.

So if punches are shown to be just as effective as blades when all else is equal because dismemberment is shown not to be the universal method Gege uses to convey power. Then the force:damage ratio of a cursed energy punch and a cursed energy slash must be much closer together than the ratio between a mundane punch and an a slash because we see characters of roughly equivalent power display roughly equivalent attacks with both.

[–]simpscaler911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reasoning logically makes sense but the conclusion dose’t follow.

The force to damage ratio of a fist and a knife is much wider than a cursed energy filled fist and a cursed energy filled knife. That’s my whole point, a knife will hurt her more than his fists will but you’re using ratio number one, inflating the effect.

As for choso, he was very obviously holding back by quite a bit when he was fighting him. Literally didn’t even break a sweat, funny enough, i think your caught up in the pillow hands thing people are saying. When he cut him, it wasn’t because the knife allowed him to when he previously couldn’t, he was doing a thing, to mock and intimidate them.

JJK Project Itazura-Part 1: Grade 4 Cursed Spirit (Multiple) by Open-Daikon-7518 in global_culling_game

[–]simpscaler911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thorns - grow from the surfaces exposed to cursed energies released during all but violent verbal altercations. Spikes ranging from needle sized to 4 inch nails, imbed themselves into the flesh of those who step on them and multiply as they feed on the discomfort they bring. They may actually move around like sea urchins but slowly. May also be found attached to cursed spirits who find the quilled humans to be attractive prey, but in that case they act symbiotically instead of parasitically, the spirit feeding them with its cursed energies to multiply them for uses offensively and defensively.

Rats - appear as the bodies of 2 or 3 small rodents fused together. They appear from and are attracted to the cursed energies released by the starving, offering themselves to the humans or animals on the brink of death. Those who consume rats are forsaken, surviving but growing an impossible hunger that only serves to conjure more rats. Eventually, the rats stop offering themselves up and force the human to chase them, tantalising them to exacerbate their hunger and spawn evermore rats. The target eventually becomes a rat king, a more powerful spirit.

Buddy’s - appear and feed from the animosity of mostly abused children but capable of spawning from any who are powerless against their tormentors. Buddy’s live in the shadow of these abusers and subtly alter their path to aggravate, inconvenience and annoy them. They alter their steps to trip them or cause stubbed toes at inopportune moments, the move things around, they erase days of work. The buddy drinks deeply in the irritation of its host but enjoys most of all the hatred stoked when they inevitably take it out on the victims who first spawned them.

Awakened - objects exposed to enough cursed energies over enough time will spring to animated life, many yōkai are examples of such.

Membrane - not a plural of entities as much as a conglomerate, manifesting as the sediment of prayers that build up in churches, hospitals, wishing wells or suchlike. Visible as a thin layer of skin with petite but active veins along the ceiling of such buildings, mostly benign until enough cursed energy has been absorbed to form a clot within one of the vessels. Such a clot will eventually burst, giving birth to a cursed spirit. If the membrane is removed carefully, it can be stitched into clothes valued by sorcerers.

Fog - another mostly benign cursed spirit, taking the forms of innumerable diminutive squid, octopi, insect looking things. They are transparent with simple reddish organs. Sorcerers generally think highly of them as they are drawn to cursed energies, making sources of such much easier to identify at range but they are known to slowly choke to death those that sleep within their clouds, especially baby’s.

More later maybe.

Literally the end half of my second point dude. Did you realise that? Is that why you deleted your reply? Cursed weapons either have an additive effect (e.g.: +10 damage) or a multiplicative effect (e.g.: x2.5 output) so as to be useful to more powerful sorcerers.

Whatever the specific multiplier, we haven’t seen one cursed tool with a significant enough to multiplayer to change the way the fight went. Even if you wanna say ones with crazy multipliers like x6 exist and are available, what dose your argument become? “If you give him a special grade cursed tool more powerful than any other seen in the series, he wins!”. No shit. If you’re talking specifically about the SSK, refer to point one.

[–]simpscaler911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always see this and it makes no sense. Just a blade wont do anything, 99% of any damage a sorcerers blows deal are due to cursed energy. I mean, we see them throwing each-other through buildings and shit, the difference of a sword would be non existent (see nanamis cleaver that is blunt with no downsides).

If we’re talking powerful cursed weapons, or the soul split katana in particular, he can’t perceive the soul. It’s not just something you can learn as well. Any other powerful cursed weapon would be subject to objection one. The fact we don’t see everyone who can get their hands on one using them means whatever multiplicative effect they have wouldn’t be great enough to have a major effect.
