[OOC Thread] Prinnies Breakroom [Disgaea]

Awesome. Infernals have a few extra Backgrounds they get with chargen, but with your permission I'm excising them as not necessary (I somehow suspect there aren't many Yozi cults in the Underworld, no?). I would totally and heavily suggest you import the Demonic Familiar background as a replacement for Familiar; I'll PM it to you for your approval, but it way better represents spirits as familiars, and I'm pretty sure there aren't too many dogs in Hell, either.
 
for firearms/guns, are there any specialized types of ammo like there are for arrows and crossbow bolts?
 
Oooh, important question; how are you dealing with Craft? It doesn't affect me much; I'm going for Craft: Biotech, because that sounds like fun (and draws on Lore and Medicine, not other Craft skills), but are you subsuming them into one Craft skill instead of 5?
 
What are the combat stats for a Prinny? Both individually and when thrown?


For the record, I'm going Narcoleptic Ninja with a retinue of Prinnies to make sure I don't fall asleep and drown in a puddle or something. My Prinnies will be recognizable by the harnesses and helmets they wear, supporting a large D-shaped handle on their chest, back and atop their head. This is for ease of grabbing and throwing.
 
Prnnies have the stats of a normal human guard in combat. They dual wild knifes and have access to throwing knives and bomobs as weapons.


Throwing a prinny deals one half of its current hp to those in blast radius.


Of course, this is your basic prinny. Other more powerful prinnies exist (prinny god, big sis, Uber Prinny Baal)...


Ammo wise, their exist the same sort of special ammo as for crossbow bolts.
 
I'm going for a demonic Mad Scientist of sorts running around in Hell. I may well go without prinnies and have a motivation to create a prinny substitute or something; iunno yet.

Given that Prinnies are almost certainly extras by definition, should this be damage equal to health levels? 3L isn't that much, and 1L is sort of ...well, ping damage, and not going to kill any mortal extras which makes the 'explodes' rather....not live up to the concept of exploding. ^^;;
 
Since there are two other people planning on Night castes (at least as far as I can see from their descriptions) I'll be switching to Zenith. A human gunfighter/sharpshooter who fulfills a more mercenary version of "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."
 
Well, I've spoken with Midboss in a PM about castes. Since animas aren't in as a mechanic and anima abilities won't be caste-specific (IE, pick whatever one you want), castes won't be really necessary at all. For instance, Solars get 5 caste and 5 favored abilities, so rather than stick by castes, you'll just get 10 favored abilities.
 
The more I look the more I realize that an Infernal just won't work; not so much for being Evil but how very alien and tied to the Primordials they and their powers are. I'm going to look into an Abyssal, instead. (Which is too bad; I really like the Infernal charmset, especially She Who Lives In Her Name.)

Just remember that if you have prinnies, you'll have them by large numbers. Also, no form of defense protects against prinny booms. The only thing an ennemy can do is try to dodge.... or catch it Nero from DMC4 style and send it back. And also, consider the number you have, you could almost prinny strike your way through any boss.
 
They only explode when they hit something? Because exalted rules say that defense trumps offense. This includes parries and dodges...


So, it'd depend on whose throwing what exploding prinnies... ^_-
 
I believe the Defense > Offense stance is in regard to Perfect Defense/Attacks.


I believe Midboss saying you can't parry it does not mean you can't Perfect Parry it.
 
Yes it does. You can dodge prinnies, but nothing completly prevents damage from them... NOTHING.


I personaly really hate turtlers. Bad memories of Baldur's Gate II and Soul Calibur 3, so in defense vs offence debate, I'm on the side of offense.
 
So perfect defenses aren't? Is this only against prinny explosions, or against any 'perfect' attack?
 
Only prinny attacks. This is due to the fact that prinny explosion ignore all defense in the original game itself.
 
Well, that just means I need to take the Solar Thrown charm tree


Cascade of Explosive Prinnies Combo GO!
 
Well... the Pink Devil must agree to disagree with this by possessing more danmaku than everyone else....
 
I dunno if I want to play in a game where perfect defenses aren't perfect. Exalts implode like tissue paper if their defenses are bypassed; it's a quirk of the system. You realize that you will - not might, but will - lose PCs and important NPCs almost trivially because of this, unless you pump everyone full of Ox-Body charms?
 
I have to concur with Laundreu. Without functioning perfect defenses, Exalted makes an L5R combat clusterfuck look survivable.
