I will become God-Harem King of the World! [Highschool DxD/Exalted] (CLOSED)

Don't we also have to decide when in the week we are doing the various things?
Given that we have lots of adventures inbetween, it's rather important to know what we get first.

We know Linguistics isn't needed during the week, so we can probably squeeze it into the last few days.
Since we shouldn't finish Occult before the last of Akeno's lessons anyways, doing that is not incredibly sensible either.
The Charms have the most immediate payoff, but are capped by the XP cost, meaning we don't necessarily have to finish training for them on the first day, but having them early is still useful.
That said, we are pretty close to having enough XP to learn one of them so finishing training on the second day would be sensible.
The Martial Arts dot is only a single dice as long as we don't have XP to dump into that as well, so while useful, it's only a moderate priority.

Also, since we only have two more times training Occult with Akeno this week we need to fit in 3 hours more of that at some point.
 
Nobody wants to train under Ddraig? Ddraig is a sad Dragon :'(

What can he train us in?
Tanking hits?
If so, I guess he can train us for AST.

You can do both: if you do the latter I would have more liberty to organize the timeline. Both are good. ultimately it's a choice of style.

Honestly, I don't feel like micromanaging to that degree, but if you want you can do that, I'd probably vote for it.

On studying with Akeno, we're studying with her on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We're making a plan for the next seven days, starting with Tuesday, so the last of these seven days is a Monday, where we have our third training session

Two words: energy blast.

I am almost done with the list of possible adventures. In the meantime, I am hammering out the details for the future and I find myself in need of someone capable of modifying images. Nothing much, just altering a bit the colors. It's not strictly necessary, it's just cooler. The candidate must not mind little spoilers.

I can do a little photoshopping if it's nothing fancy.

If its a palette swap, I can do that (depending of how fast and how many you want it might take a while though).

In that case it's cool.
Besides, outside of getting ISS first, then the MA dot (so we have more time to get the 8 XP for the next Charm) and then AST, there is not really much to be said about the priority of these things.

That aside, I think there was some talk about just using Spirit Strengthens the Skin as a panic button earlier.
While that does have some merit, SStS can only remove post soak damage dies to a minimum of one die, meaning there would still one die be rolled for damage, which can add up.

Also, I have stunts for the Charms.

[X] learn Irresistible Salesman Spirit
-[X] Taking part in collective games on the internet called "Quests" and convincing people of your ideas being beneficial to them probably counts as training for this, right?
[X] learn Adamant Skin Technique
-[X] Dragons are supposed to have hard scales, so surely Ddraig knows something about taking hits?

Edit:
In light of energy blasts, can we make room for them?
Kind of depends how long they'd take to learn as well.

I wouldn't mind skipping on the dot of martial arts in exchange for energy blasts. Having an offensive technique to use those Boosted Gear motes with would be very nice.
 
More of less it's a palette swap, but the imagine is complex. Tell you what, I will send you the imagine and what I want and then you tell me, okay?

I was under the impression SStS can reduce damage to zero. Was it updated?

Yes. Since this is from DxD Exalted rules don't apply, so you can learn it fairly fast and still have time for adventures.

Select your adventure. Multiple choices are possible.
[] Abandoned building
[] Kiba's request
[] Haunted house
[] Shady district
[] Fluttering of wings
[] Old shrine
[] Creepy shack
[] Write in? (Plan your own adventure!)

We could always sacrifice some grinding time. Do you think 5 hours would be enough?

[X] Kiba's request
I hope this has no combat in it.

Score points with our teammates and go on adventures? Excellent.

Nope, a bit more.

Most adventures don't take much time, 1-2 hours if handled well, so you can risk a little.
 
Okay, new updated plan, added 10 hours of training Energy Blasts

[X] buy 1 dot in Linguistics in whatever Language group English is
-[X] No harem is complete without some exotic beauties, but you need a way to speak with them. You want to be prepared for the onslaught of girls that will surely follow.
[X] buy 1 dot in Occult
-[X] You will show Buchou and Akeno-san that you are the best Magician they have ever seen. That should impress them into joining your harem, right? Right?
[X] buy 1 dot of Martial Arts
-[X] Beating up delinquents, what better way is there to impress girls?
[X] learn Irresistible Salesman Spirit
-[X] Taking part in collective games on the internet called "Quests" and convincing people of your ideas being beneficial to them probably counts as training for this, right?

-[X] Dragons are supposed to have hard scales, so surely Ddraig knows something about taking hits?
[X] Spend 3 hours with the Occult Research Club, just to get to know them better. This is definitely not an excuse to be in proximity of so many good looking girls.
[X] Perhaps Ddraig can show you some dragon tricks, for example how to shoot energy out of your hands. Spend up to 10 hours on this.
[X] Spend the rest of the time going out looking for Adventure
 
Old Shrine and Fluttering of Wings both sound intriguing, but Kiba's request has immediately visible practical effects... hmm.

[X] Fluttering of Wings

I'm thinking its Angels which means we might have a good foot in with them potentially in the future. Old Shrine could be Ghost/Youkai on the other hand.

It might also be fallen angels. And there's someone we've been forgetting in all of this -- it's not just Raynare that we need to worry about, Freed is also lurking around somewhere too.
 
How much adventure time do we have?
If each adventure takes 1-2 hours, we'll probably have enough time to go with several of them.
For now
[X] Fluttering of wings
Seems interesting. Could refer to angels (fallen or normal) or maybe some fairies or youkai.

Yep. It was one of the charms that got updated in the Scroll of Errata:

Spirit Strengthens the Skin
(p. 207)
Mins: Resistance 3, Essence 2
Keywords: Combo-OK
This Charm reduces the post-soak damage of an attack, not
the raw damage. It may not reduce an attack's damage below
one die.

[1] Kiba's request
- "Damn you handsome." (at least I can ask how to score points with Koneko-chan, Akeno-san and Rias-sempai...)
[2] Fluttering of wings
- I Wonder if Raynare is back...
[3] Old Shrine
- I'm guessing its Akeno's, and Akeno time is always delicious.

[X] Shady district
[X] Kiba's request
[X] Old shrine

The Shady district is vanilla stuff, which is honestly not going to be much of an issue for us.
A DV of 4 is bullshit against mortals.
Kiba is least likely to require us going into serious combat on our own before we get the MA dot/AST, does mean we get to bro it up and odds are he's not asking for help at fighting anyways, which means having time and XP to get ISS first is sensible, though it's probably doable witohut this as well. Issei/Kiba OTP!!!
Lastly, Akeno goodness and more than enough time to get the Social Charm so we are guaranteed to probably not fuck this up.

Should we also add that any additional free time is to be spent with our new friends and acquaintances?
If the adventures really are only 1-2 hours we may still have up to 15 hours left to spend on stuff.
May even count as training for more Charisma if we try hard to make a good impression during the time.

[X] 1 dot Melee

Click to expand...

Melee is weapons, not unarmed fighting. We have no use for weapons (besides Boosted Gear, which is a gauntlet and enhances unarmed attacks) when we are the weapon.
 
Melee is also unfavoured, whereas Fist of the Daystar is a MA whose charms are all favoured for any Solar and are actually more or less worth the XP.
Way less of an XP sink.
 
There are 7 adventures, we can have 1 per day and have 7 days. Couldn't we have them all if we wanted to get as much EXP as possible?
We have 27.5 hours even after the 10-hour energy blast training, 7 2-hour adventures would take 14 hours, leaving us with about 13.5 hours to kill on something else.
