Yep. After some reflection I realized the weakness of the approach even though I contributed quite a bit to the spell part myself. Part of the discussions of this quest in regarding to XP show that I think limiting it can help force the player to rely on others. Becoming a jack of all trades will also complicate vote decisions. If you have 10 moderate ways to battle something you're going to be bogged down in hashing over which strategy is better than 2 or 3 well developed ones.
 
I like the idea of omakes with limited do. They can be like the canon side stories.

actually new powers and shit didn't give an xp bonus, Also Vallette Seems to have abandoned it.

Make the gain minimal, have a maximum that can be gained by omakes or have a high requirement for quality to deserve XP?

In fairness there were a lot of OC Magical girls/boys that weren't going to appear in story & the amount of user generated content was easily many multiples of actual story posts.

Personally I think it's abandoned at this point.

But let's avoid a derail.
 
For the omake thing. I don't think we should write or draw omakes expecting to be rewarded. I think it shifts the reason we write them from inspiration and expanding on the universe to gaming the system.

As for the Raiser peerage thing. If we do need to participate in the rating game there's always becoming a temp devil that was brought up in the beginning of the quest.
"As a temp Devil you don't have to be reincarnated into one, but you're expected to follow almost all the rules and duties of one. Also all your accomplishments go to me instead of boosting your reputation. The advantages are that you can quit when you want and that assaults on you are the same as being made on me, thus you will be protected."

Okay, so I've been debating weather to post this thought or not since finishing volume 16. Spoilers for that follow.

So in volume 16 it's revealed why the Chaos Brigade- or rather, the leader- wants to kill Great Red. He wants to go to the alternate world that Ise accidentally confirmed existed back in volume 7 when he summoned the breast fairy.

So as a possible plot point, assuming that that part of canon holds true to this quest, could that other world be Creation? I could absolutely believe that Creation would have a goddess of breasts. And it could explain where our exaltation came from.

Silly idea, and I know it's probably not going to happen since Alex confirmed that we would be the only exalt, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone.
 
So I was looking over the character sheet when I noticed some fun stuff.

Defying the Established Social Order (Presence): OOO

What does this trait do Alexander?

If Issei sees injustice, especially socially acceptable forms, would it give him a 3 dot specialty(not sure if I'm wording that) onto of his normal

Performance:
-Presence: OOOO

Also should Abe be updated from

Contacts (Abe Kiyome): O

I got the distinct feeling that with how rare & sacred she finds Eiko, that Abe would join us in combat if she's nearby. She wouldn't tolerate
anyone willing to harm a Yatagarasu, & perhaps hopes to put Eiko & us in her debt.
 
Been doing some thinking on what Terrestrial and Celestial Martial arts we might want to teach Rias' peerage. ymmv of course but this is what I've got

Kiba
T = Even Blade style seems like a good pick for him, the fact the form charm makes you able to put aside your emotions and calm the fuck down would probably help him alot as well when the Excalibur arc comes up.

C = probably Violet Brier of Sorrows Style I think

Akeno
T = First Pulse *for that get in and kick there ass quick thing it has going* or White Veil style I would think

C = at first I thought Dreaming Pearl Courtesan would be a good fit, but then I gave it a bit more of a think and realized that the only real option for her is Laughing Wounds style, what with it basicly being Sadomasochism as a martial art and all.

Rias
T = probably White Veil style or Night Breeze Style

C = I would think one of the Virtue Styles *probably Compassion like Issei* would be a good fit, as would Throne Style with working with her peerage or for irony Righteous Devil Style, or possibly Crane style for the defensive abilitys

Koneko
T = Jade Mountain seems like an amusing thought for her, making her even more of a tank and all

C = This was a tough one, I think she's the only one with virtues at 3 or less across the board *if I'm wrong oh well* so she would make a good fit for my favorite style Celestial Monkey style

In Fairness...technically he's not. Issei hasn't actively pursued any of the women near him. Aside from some insinuating talk in the fight against Yang he has no idea how to make a relationship work how to really date someone. He just ends up with them around him.

He's gone the hero route of saving women & doing good, hoping that makes him attractive as a mate. Given that he's avoiding the arrogant jackass traits Raiser so encapsulates it works quite well. His actions in saving people are very reminiscent of a knight errant with a few key distinctions. Issei has no hangups about sex, purity or tribalism(racism, class elitism, nobility) & just helps people as he finds them. Sort of a mix between Chaotic Good/Neutral Good alignment if we were to use a D & D Old Alignment system. Issei is just worried about helping people(and subconsciously appearing noble & attractive to women) & he doesn't care particularly much in my read of his character for what social norms says on the subject. He'll follow existing channels when they exist(getting a permit for the floral display) but deals out justice when the system clearly fails(us beating up those thugs).

As Bright might put it. It is not in their nature for a Solar Exalt to be either contrary or obedient to social consensus, for such concerns are incidental at best. For a Lawgiver reveals to others the true nature of things & all that is right & good, correcting where mortal teachings are flawed & letting them stand where they are not.

That's a specialty. It gives us bonuses on rolls when we're engaging in the specified behavior. So we get a three-dot bonus when we're proclaiming the virtues of having a harem in front of our classmates (or anywhere, really). We could also make use of it for, say, convincing Lord Gremory to call off Rias's marriage because that's something only people who love each other should do and if the underworld needs more pureblood devils then too fucking bad.

So would the effect stack with -Presence: OOOO?
 
yes thats the whole point of specialitys, like if we got one for Fighting Gauntlets or Boosted Gear we could add those dots to our Martial Arts score.

So what are our goals for the rest of the week?

I'm interested in getting that awareness charm up(whatever makes sneak attacks lose bonuses), have Eiko become our familiar & being able to infuse void into dragon wave.

If there's time I'd like to introduce Yang & Ruby to Risa & her peerage & see if we can't have one of them complete their or Mittelt's training in a Terrestial style.
 
We kinda need to grind xp more then anything, questing as it were, at least as far as I'm concerned, as for buys, Lore and Occult Excellencies for Hacking and Magic spells, probably want the 2nd excellency for Lore as it give flat auto-successes, after that a dot in hack as a speciality when we have the time, starting to buy into Fist of the Daystar, maybe some awareness dots /shrug ymmv and all that. can probably hold of on actual hacking charms for a while, learning more DxD magic would probably be a good thing.

Thinking about it. I think i'll choose awareness. Since if we plan on questing. Being able to detect sneak attacks would be great. Especially since we need to do that Snake gang quest.

Edit: Right changed then.
 
...we are unlikely to run across that sort of thing for a while yet, and Alexander isn't a killer GM which would be what us running across something high enough tier while questing to OHKO us like that would amount to /eyeroll yes the paranoia that runs in various quests is amazing, if only we could harness its power somehow /laugh


And no Tsundere, particularly no male Tsundere, Issei isn't Bi, he's about as unBi as any character I've ever seen, the whole no Tsundere part is one of the big things I like about DxD, though Ravel or whatever Raisers sisters name is probably fits closest
 
Headsup. Smuthunter had the Martial Arts Buyin included in his plan. If you want to purchase awareness I'll you need to be explicit about it, preferably in vote form like
