  • I have many responsibilities on this site, and this means I only wear each hat for as long as is necessary. Therefore, you may leave CRT/calc eval/whatever requests, and I will try to get to it, but understand that my time is limited and I'm normally already tapped for some wiki policy matter or maintaining the wiki management threads or handling account issues for users who never seem to get things right. Low priority requests include tiershit, particularly active verses, and discussions with a lot of active staff voices already present. I'm not saying "no" but I probably won't get to them. If I don't reply, smart money says it won't be me to get to it. Sorry.

    I don't think you could torture me into willingly entering one of those threads, but I will give a general answer here:

    If the verse lacks evidence to justify the vast majority of its ratings, and has nobody to potentially fix it, it ought to be deleted. Otherwise it ought to go through the CRT process. So if that scan-gathering thread goes awry, it ought to be officially slated for deletion.

    Question :

    Regarding the Geas spell, can one theorically BFR a victim by telling them to move as far away as possible or hide from the caster?

    Also how's the CY-BORG verse going?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I suppose you could use it like that, though they could ignore it temporarily (as the spell mentions, you just take a lot of damage for doing so). Otherwise, yeah, if you knew of a place they could go, you could force them to displace themselves.

    It isn't, I've been pretty unproductive for the past couple of weeks for personal reasons. Sorry lad.

    Hi good day
    Unknown build success not scalable unless stated otherwise? (For example, a character that makes up a low 2-c universe is unknown, but a character that makes up a low 2-c universe will be considered a low 2-c unless told otherwise or said to make a low 2-c universe.) What I'm saying is wrong or not? ? Let me give an example, let's say Naruto created a low2c level universe and it is unknown what he created this universe with? but not said otherwise, does this low2c bring success? ( just an example)
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I don't really understand what you're asking me, nor am I familiar at all with Naruto (or really any anime, for that matter), but I'll take a shot.

    Creation feats, by default, do not scale to physicals. Yes, how an individual creates it is desperately important in regards to scaling to it. At best, without any context, you could probably argue Environmental Destruction.
    Peppersalt43
    So uh, question regarding this tourney and Fanger Deserter

    Has he ever used an omen on his horse-shoe?
    Does he start with it?
    Can an omen guarantee a hit by cancelling a fumble (Which is basically a miss)
    And what skill feats does he have?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    This is a player character. He doesn't really have a history, he just has a list of things he can do.

    An omen can undo a fumble, so yes, it can make a miss into a hit.

    Fighting trained soldiers, I suppose?

    How do you calculate this feat?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    The specifics can be found on our pages for Creation feats. The long and short of it is, you calculate it based on the mass of the object made. Our Creation Feats page has a specific list of tiersetters.

    Yes, and since it is liquification of a building, I'm not sure if it's right to call it incineration
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'm confused, then. Your original question was about why the methods were different, is your complaint just about the nomenclature?
    Hagane_no_Saiyajin
    Hagane_no_Saiyajin
    I just confused as to how one calc uses a method that can definitely be considered incineration but the other is definitely uses liquification as a method but it's called incineration. It's feels inconsistent in my eyes

    Hi, Byashura said that he is busy and has given up on the crts. Could you please add the abilities since they have been agreed upon by mods as well? here and here. It would be greatly appreciated and it will close these crts that have been ongoing for weeks. Thanks

    Hello there, sorry for bothering you

    Can you check this VS thread? If you can give inputs it'll be very appreciated
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I've no more interest in the Top 5 threads

    if you wanted to do me a favor and just nyx the D&D pages from there, it'd clear up some headaches in the future

    cheers

    Alright man, thx for answering anyway

    Hello there, sorry for bothering you

    I wanna ask about DnD's layers of resistance especially Orcus's, does he have smurf resistance? If it is then how high is it?
    View previous comments…
    Noneless21
    Noneless21
    Smurf resistance is just higher dimensional resistance like what you said about orcus when he has 4D resistance that means he has smurf resistance (to me anyway)

    Does that mean that he have extremely high scaling chain of 4D resistance to almost all power and abilities even at his high 6-A key then?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Yes, I am aware, but Orcus' page spans multiple "dimensional" gaps. Thus I was asking for clarification.

    High High 6-A key has 4-D resistances, aye, though the chain there is smaller.
    Noneless21

    Aaaah i see, thank you for the further explanation

    Would love if you could check out this profile, it obviously would be match-banned but aside from the formatting do you think it's good to publish? The OP worked very hard on this and if nothing else could serve as a decent example on how to make a good profile.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I will say, we actually already have plenty of pages that serve as a good example to new people, if they know where to look. While I can appreciate the amount of work that went into this, I don't think it serves as one- I firmly believe there is such a thing as too much infodumping on irrelevant topics. For example, you have eleven citations for the exact specific scientific classification of humans. People can surely figure it out with less. Personally, I prefer information-dense profiles.

    As for your abilities... eh. A lot of these are meme type things that, if listed for anything else, would get laughed at. Such as "Resistance to Heat and Fire" (which, for the record, isn't notable in this context for VSBW- I don't think any flames reach a mere 212 F temperature).

    I think you'd also need to make a rather major thread discussing a profile like this even existing. We've had similar profiles in the past that were erased, though I must admit I remember little about the details.
    Could I get some clarification regarding the speed feats? One is that the lasers had already been accepted as light speed. And could clarification regarding the EMP. The EMP in cutscene was not instantaneous but the EMP in game takes 1 frame. So is it only the cutscene EMP that is a problem and the gameplay EMP would work?

    I see. I will note that, if the YoRHa page is anything to go by, at least, that this doesn't seem to be a staff-approved revision, or at least not a staff-enacted one. It may be that the rating was given carelessly before discussions were actually had- it is not uncommon for folks to just say lasers are light speed.
    TheAngryOrange
    If I wanted to make a case, I assume it would be a forum thread?

    And how should I proceed in the meantime then?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    A thread should be made, aye, preferably also by nabbing relevant staff members and supporters (the latter is your choice). If you like, you may ask the calc group member I spoke to about the calcs as well- it was Armorchompy.
    Peppersalt43
    I have a question regarding Gar Shatterkeel

    What is his starting moves?
    What are the notable moves when faced against energy based danmaku and forcefields?
    Are there any notably dangerous moves in his arsenal?

    And in case you're wondering why I'm asking this, it's because of this. I can't really defend a pre-established character because I don't really know the details of their, well, character

    Regarding that heat feat, can I have a scan as well as proof that Helmed Horror has resistances of that level?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Wdym for the latter? Helmed Horror's resistances, much like other resistances, are simply a statement that it takes minimized/no damage from fire sources, when said fire sources include (insert aforementioned sun surface-dwelling fire elementals here). I can try to go hunt down a feat for the sun-monsters, though, and the Phaethon has its own page for the other heat feat.
    Mr. Bambu

    Alright this might take a bit since I need to get my hands on the proper book. In the meantime, I can tell you which book it is in- Spelljammer: Realmspace, 2e, pg 5-6.

    Hola Senor Bambu

    Remember the whole Universal Power Source schtick? Well it's been sometime since you last commented on the staff-only thread voicing your approval, and substantial changes to the draft were made in accordance to what AKM said there, and DDM also made his argument for keeping a page. (All the links for DDM's argument and my draft can be found here). Care to weigh in your opinion once more?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    oh, goodie.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Man it seems to have drifted fuckloads since I was last here, eh?

    Since DDM's summary is a mile and a half long, tell me, without all the bureaucracy tacked on: is it, more or less, still the same thing? DDM's post rambles on quite a bit, and I've little interest in spending my time off of work parsing it for relevant information. I'm still reading your sandbox, of course.

    Hey, I had a question regarding tabletop profiles, if you have a minute.

    If a tabletop rpg has had 2 editions (technically three but the 1st is explicitly no longer canon), with the same cast and setting between them, but the exact mechanics of the in-universe power system changed a lot between the two, how would we handle it?
    My gut reaction is to treat the changes as a retcon and default to the latest edition, but I wanted to get a second opinion.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Ah, you also messaged me on here
    Creaturemaster971

    Ye
    I forget which one I did first
    Thanks again for the info tho
    Peppersalt43
    Okay, one other question

    When an elemental in D&D is killed (The ones with Type 9 Immortality), will it be disconnected from the plain it is on and thus be unable to harm its opponent or does it mean it'll come back repeatedly until it is killed on all plains?

    And continuing on, when fighting a person with Type 9 Immortality, is killing the vessel enough if it prevents the original from interacting with their opponent?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    That depends on the elemental. Low-tier ones are unlikely to be able to return in a reasonable amount of time. However, Elemental Lords such as Olhydra could very well return within a 24 hour time limit, especially if the location was in their favor (continuing with the Olhydra example, this would mean fighting near or in a large body of water).
    Peppersalt43
    Peppersalt43
    Oh thank goodness. Okay, thanks
