Alright, I guess I'll just write the descriptions assuming the uniform has a blazer and change it later if I need to.

You can only issue a challenge to the person above you and the challenged person can refuse, but they will give up their rank if they do. however, you have a limited number of challenges you can issue so the challenger has to be confident


Not being able to refuse without losing your rank messes up some of my plans but that is fine.

What do you mean by a limited number of challenges? Do you mean if you challenge the person above you and lose, say, five times you can't challenge them again? I assume this count resets if the order changes, so if either the person above you goes up a rank or you drop a rank?
Ok, so I kind of missed my goal of getting my profiles up by Friday. I have all of the appearances done for all characters along with outlines of their histories and descriptions, so it shouldn't be too much longer.

I have a few questions though. What do the uniforms look like or is that up to us? What are the rules for challenging the person above you for their place in the top 5? Can the other person refuse to take a challenge?

@Satoshi Kyou
On the subject of Masters, if anyone wants to be Ajax's Master I am open to any suggestions. If not I'm fine being paired with a random Master once everyone has joined.
(The Command Spells's) ...their truest purpose is to allow the winner of the Grail to force the Servant to kill themselves so that the ritual to reach the Root with all seven Heroic Spirits can be completed.


@BishopYeah, Lancer in Fate Zero was forced to take his own life iirc.


So was Lancer in Unlimited Blade Works; you can order a Servant to do anything with a command spell but that's not the point of that quote.

From my limited understanding the way the grail war works is that by filling the grail with the mana of ALL SEVEN Servants the grail gains enough power to grant the winner of the war any wish they want. Every Servant needs to die for the ritual to be completed, not just the other six; in other words a Servant can never have their wish granted, or at least not and live to see it, since they need to die as well for the grail to be complete.

I could be wrong though and that could only apply when using the grail to reach the root. Maybe other wishes take less power and therefore you'd be able to have your wish granted even before the war ends if you can get your hands on the grail and enough Servants have died to fill it up. Plus there are examples like the Great Grail War in Apocrypha and this case where there are more than seven Servants so not every Servant would need to die, since it's to do with the amount of power in the grail and not a hard rule of all Servants need to die.

I don't know. Fate is weird.
Also from the wiki, since the above only applies to normal humans and not mages.

"Humans utilizing ten Command Spells would also be able to damage Servants. Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya at the peak of their strengths during the Fourth Holy Grail War could defeat Servants, but only when the weakest, Caster and Assassin, are at their most exposed, or when they have special conditions in their favor like surprise or suitability against the opponent."
I overdid it a little because the wiki talked about how the archer class had the most NPs.


I wonder if perhaps Gilgamesh is messing with the averages a bit.
@Reflection

So my opinion means practically nothing but I'll say it anyway. Having looked at Arjuna, I think she looks awesome but I will say one thing against her. That is a ridiculous number of Noble Phantasms.

Most servants only have 1 or 2 and even having 3 is seen as really special; Astolfo has 5 and that's seen as a very exceptional case. The version from the game only has 2, Pashupatastra and Gandiva, so I'd suggest paring it down to these two, Brahmashira and maybe the chariot at most.

Other than that it looks fine, though divinity should be a class skill. Your stats are actually lower than the Fate version and the Noble phantasms aren't too bad, though two instant kills are a bit much; maybe look at the Fate version of Pashupatastra for ideas on how to balance it a bit.

Keep in mind that she'll probably be the Gilgamesh/Karna of this war.
I don't usually post works in progress, but since nobody has posted a Servant yet I guess I'll be the first.

It's just his stats and skills right now for the most part, plus his Noble Phantasm. Let me know if he looks too powerful/not powerful enough and I'll make some changes.

I can say the same thing here. it's been ages since I played myself so I got zero experience with any of the decks. heck I'm horrible at deck building


There's a solution to that and it's called "shameless netdecking".

I use it often.
@King Cosmos Playtesting shouldn't be too much of an issue since we're scripting everything. Don't worry about making a functional deck, anime characters don't have those either.


It's more the fact that one of my characters, possibly my #1, is going to be using an archtype I've never played before that is also quite technical. It's also been so long since I've played that I just need the practice.
