Not exactly sure by that, but I prefer to jsut end at Death because that means a team of 14. Full Major Arcana is from 0 to 21, meaning 22 total. Clearly too high a number. If we intend a system to compare to face others peerages, then that means making a system with limits, else no one will want to face us.ShadowAngelBeta said:
The maybe we have a Deck of Tarot Cards and a Certain Number of Points with each card being worth a Certain amount. The limiting factor is not how many cards you have but rather how many points you have left, maybe?Megaolix said:
Fool to Death is 0 to 13, all cards numbered. No need to complicate it further.ShadowAngelBeta said:
... You know what, I'm too tired to argue this so I'll just go back to the Fate/Stay Night Class system and leave it at that.Megaolix said:
nah they'll be a few d20's each d20 has their own set of 8 d12 to give out and every d12 has 4 d6, if someone's probationary they get a d4, and there are intermediate ranks of d8 and d10Megaolix said:
Pactio. The magical pseudo-tarot cards from Negima, only they're tarots that describe the bonded individual rather than some manner of archetype that may only loosely describe the character in question.megrisvernin said:
Actually, that's kind of the problem.Smuthunter said:

That's not a disadvantage. Ideally superior numbers would scare off anyone who wants to fight us and our harem would never come into danger. And since we're not a devil, even if we did use a card or chess-based system we still wouldn't be able to participate in rating games. We're not part of their system any more than the Brave Saints are.Megaolix said:
Blood pacts work too, IIRC. I think that's the way Nagi and Jack Rakan made their contract.touhou ranfuku said:
A distinct hierarchy is a mistake and is likely to cause friction within the group. We want an equal harem, not a harem of girls with greater or lesser importance, be it real or imagined.staplesdex2 said:

And yet there are talks of competition between the two different style of teams. And if you just want to scare others with numbers, then this is no longer a peerage. Just a team which we give powerups to team membersSmuthunter said:
The Pactio offers a few generic upgrades and one specific one unique to each girl.megrisvernin said:
This is what I've been going for since the start. The only meaning that a peerage has over "a team which we give powerups to" is that one has political standing in the underworld and the other doesn't. But we're a Solar, and our political standing is self-evident. 8)Megaolix said:
That's not necessarily true. We could easily be the Solar equivalent of Julie D'Aubigny -- led an amazing life, didn't accomplish jack shit, is absolutely Solar material by word of devs.EternitynChaos said:
You know, this is true. We should finish the analysis first and see what it tells us and what we can and cannot do with it.EternitynChaos said:
Maybe, but even after Issei achieves his dream of gathering a harem of super-hot magical girls, I don't think he'd stop there. After all, there's plenty of problems in both the mortal world and the supernatural world that could use fixing, and I doubt he'd just ignore all of that.Smuthunter said:

That, or save the minor arcana for people that aren't our lovers, like Mil-tan and his friends. Maybe our parents, too, since if they remain weak, they become targets.Grosstoad said:
The disadvantage of a Pactio system is how it is applied. Know what I mean?megrisvernin said:
Mil-tan!Selias said:
Funny thing I learned reading light novels: apparently, during the time of the Akkadian Empire or near it, dragons were draw as basically horses with horns. It's only later that they were assimilated into snakes.touhou ranfuku said:
I don't get it. Why stopping at a specific Arcana or follow the numeration?Megaolix said:
Smuthunter said:
Well, the most obvious one is that, instead of having a piece/card that grant specific boosts, you will need to create something "neutral" that is capable of analyzing the target and change accordingly. It sounds easier, but in reality it's more complicated to design and create.megrisvernin said:
Oh? I like how you think 8).Smuthunter said:
