Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

...Shouldn't the focus be on making things interesting and fun, NOT keeping teams alive or being the strongest? I agree with nerfing things here, but the reasoning seems off.

@Cojemo

Agreed.

@1Charak2If you're trapped in an area with Toxin a natural response would be to try to hold your breath, prevent any more toxin from getting into your body (like my bubble shield idea), and hunker down and hope that it either passes, or someone helps you. If you would allow me to use an example from another series in KOTOR 2 The Jedi Exile used a variation of this method to survive a place that was toxic to the point where contact with human flesh would cause seizures. He called upon the force to help him hold his breath while he fought through the whole thing.

@vancexentan

Likely when that thing is popped however you have locusta coming after you. Since its her territory. Any cuts you receive during this time even the slightest wound, will allow it to get into your blood at which point holding your breath does nothing at all. Secondly, Locusta usually coats her blade with a much more lethal poison, increasing the severity of the situation. The question is, are you sure you have enough mind partitions to actively hold your breath. Move, and prevent a assassin from hitting you from within presence concealment. Simply put, I guess you could probably navigate the field if you weren't the intended target. (and you had half a mind of whats going on instantly to not inhale even the tinest bit.) but what I am saying is, is that if the mistress herself comes knocking. Best start running.

@vancexentan
You can do what to minimize the poison? A bubble shield...? That doesn't sound right. If you were constantly purging the toxins (turning it into more of a poison on the Od then on the body) then maybe. But a bubble shield doesn't sound right.

Just saw the faceclaim for your CS thought you might like this

Simply give her Poison Resistance A+ on her sheet and that covers that.

I sincerely believe Khaos Labyrinthos shouldn't be a thing. Combined with our assassin means either the opponents dies. Or we die. The second he activates it someone needs to be taken out of the picture.

@vancexentan

This and the fact that Locusta will also end up killing allies she doesn't know exist if this happens way to early

<Snipped quote by Shadow Daedalus>


<Snipped quote by vancexentan>

I'd argue that changes to Assassin would be more appropriate than nixing Khaos Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is intrinsically, statically tied to Daedalus. It's quantifiable in the sense that "we know it exists, approximately what it should do and why it deserves to be there". "A crystallization of lifestyle" and a psuedo-Reality Marble on the other hand are generally more malleable to change on account of being customized.

But Locusta's already accepted* and the Labyrinth needs preptime for deployment so

_{*Speaking of which, this has been bothering me for a bit, but why does she not just have Poison Resistance as a skill if her NP feels the need to point out her universal immunity?}

@Grey

Because Charak forgot to list it before it was accepted

Edit: Hassan of serenity doesn't have poison immunity either huh. (at least with an applied rank)

(but if we must know her poison immunity is A+)

edited: Added some clauses for master and servants to have a slightly less unfun time.

But if shes had time to plan you are dead.

<Snipped quote by 1Charak2>

I think there are gonna be a lot of times in this RP where she and Albert are gonna need to bust that shit out xD

This does raise the question though. Who is the best poisoner? Semiramis, the world's first poisoner, Locusta, the world's first serial killer (on a technicality) and official Imperial Poisoner, or Hassan of Serenity, the lady literally made of poison? Locusta probably has the highest body count even compared to Hassan, but it's stiff competition all around...

@Turboshitter

Well lets put it this way, Semiramis is too busy mastering two arts. (dual class) so shes only pioneered the art. The woman made of poison doesn't put much effort into poisoning people. More of a ninja assassin girl really. And Locusta? Well she came out of nowhere to the roman empire and said fuck it, Lets poison everyone AND BE PAYED FOR IT. Seriously everyone knew she was a killer and she was allowed into the courts. So the best poisoner is the one that basically got to do it in plain sight.

<Snipped quote by Grey>

As soon as the Hassans can all be convinced to stop toking up on hash :P

@Turboshitter

*Locusta slowly hides the hash shes been supplying the hassans all this time...*

Assassin of Red

Hey wanna know what happens if we mix this poison with this one? Oh your dead. I swear the poison shouldn't have acted that fast. The more you know I guess.

Class: Assassin
True Name: Locusta the Poisoner
Master: Albert the squiddie
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Height/Weight: 163cm 58kg

Stats:
Strength: E
Mana C
Endurance: E+
Luck: A+
Agility: B+
Noble Phantasm: A+

Class Skills:
Presence Concealment C+ (rises to EX when she is under the effects of her noble phantasm)
Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of presence concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack. Attack condition does not apply to the act of poisoning something.

Personal Skills:
Herbology C:
The owner of this skill is effective at the cultivation and understanding of plant matter. In the case of Locusta, this primarily comes under poisonous substances, where she is capable of cultivating them even under the most harshest conditions.

Disengage: C+
Bonus effect of returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match.

Independent Action C
It is possible for a servant to stay one day in the world without a master

Poisoner A+
A skill that involves indepth knowledge about poisonous substances and their applications. At A+ it is also common for the servant to be able to produce these poisons at a relatively rapid pace from objects in the environment or produce them via magecraft. At this high rank the servant is also capable of reversing and nullifying the effects of poison on people as well.

Noble Phantasms

Name: Blossoming Death
Title: Grand Wilting of the Flower of Life
Type: Anti Unit
Rank: C+
Range: 10 meter radius
Maximum Number of Targets: 20 (any higher and their won't be enough toxins to guarantee lethality, this number can change with different toxins used.)
Description: Its cost is actually extremely low for a noble phantasm of its rank, allowing it to be used with little tax on the master as such she is capable of using it purely from her own reserves.

A noble phantasm that represents a culmination of her life as a poisoner of the roman empire and the effectiveness at which she did it with unnatural beauty, A large flower bud is spawned, it is around the size of a car horizontally when not in bloom though is quite tall, upon blooming it becomes very noticeable from above due to the stark colouration it then begins quickly spawning a large amount of airborne toxin (the effects varying depending on if it was treated with different toxins as a bud) that when inhaled (unless altered) causes heavy paralysis in servants, masters and humans alike. Continued inhalation leads to organ failure and death (The only exception to the dying part are servants as theor biology offers some resistance, this does not count however if the toxin is altered, They will then also Suffer the effects if the altered poison is strong enough.). The toxin has a short period of activeness in terms of the air and will quickly disappear after around 10 minutes. The initial source flower also wilts rapidly in the few seconds after blooming, leaving no trace of the activation of the ability, besides the dead corpses.

This skill is a double edged sword as it does not deviate from friend or foe (She herself however is completely immune to all forms of poison so it does not effect her). Though she is capable of rapidly curing those afflicted by it it.

Name: World of Poison, Toxic Domain
Title: Tainting of the greatest gift
Type: Anti Army
Rank: A+ (without prep) -> A++ (At maximum radius)
Range: From the centre, it has a minimum radius of 200 meters, to a maximum radius of 2km the time taken to set up varies depending on the size with the smallest being near instant and the largest taking a day or so to prepare.
Maximum Number of Targets: Varies depending on the size.
Description: Varying Cost depending on size:

A bounded field that recreates Locusta's ideal world, a world full of poisons for her to indulge and use in her murderous methods on the masses, This world is situated on top of the world, so the foliage and fauna produced by this noble phantasm are still within the shape of the environment. escape from the world of poisonous torment is difficult due to even the very air being a slow acting poison that slows down even the fastest servant. This slow acting poison causes death in around 5 minutes of constant exposure (15 if a servant). Locusta can also control who is affected by this field so it becomes an extremely potent way of locking down and killing opponents.

Secondly, Locusta's Presence concealment goes way up in rank, to the point where she becomes effectively invisible among the foliage and is capable of enacting a perfect surprise attack in order to poison or maim an individual so more toxin gets into their blood stream.

Finally, This bounded field can be sustained for up to 20 minutes, Its only prerequisites for casting is that the master has enough mana and she is given a few minutes to prepare to create the field, however once up it is capable of encompasses a lot of space in terms of city blocks. Dispelling the NP removes all traces of the plant and animal life. However buildings that have been cracked or damaged due other overgrowth are still damaged, making this NP a huge announcement of her presence.

Other:
Her hand weapon of choice is a common farmers hand sickle, used for harvest crops... and in this case lives

It may go without saying but she is capable of using poisons from the age of the gods. So don't think a servants enhanced biology is going to help them.

*dun dun dun*

Time to overthrow all great rulers and poison the royalty. Good luck to you kings, queens, princesses and princes.
