Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - High Casual

I can allow that I suppose as to let you not get gimped by being lancer. I still believe there are many other lancers who would be better in that spot but it's all on you and if you chose hanzo as lancer than more power, figuratively, to you.

@vancexentan

Like I said, I'm still deciding. It mostly hinges on the Noble Phantasm since, like I said, the psychic ninja powers could suit either class just fine. Here, I'll PM you my NP ideas and you can tell me which you think is better for the RP in terms of balance and such.

I'll allow his vanishing act which would work out as appearing and vanishing in the midst of a fight. It'd work like after images or what have you. I'm not sure on his ESP. It could be very broken depending on how it is used.

@vancexentan

Technically clairvoyance is already a skill, so I was planning on just making it like a lower rank version of that. Sort of like how Instinct or Eye of the Mind can give limited but not perfect battle precognition. Seeing more than a few seconds into the future would definitely be off the table, and they wouldn't just be able to see anything they wanted (just a few seconds into the future of the immediate vicinity around them). If that's not cool though I can just limit it to plot-dictated psychic dreams like we're in a Stephen King story or something.

@TurboshitterIt would be a poor weapon choice for assassin as spears are longer weapons but if that's your choice in weaponry then do be it. He'd obviously be weaker than a standard lancer who openly wields his or her weapon. As a Lancer (who I believe would be more deserving of a different character but if Hanzo has a history with the weapon all the same) she would retain her ability of stealth and what have you but would be far below the other assassin in terms of actually staying that way as assassin carries the perks of stealth and all.

@vancexentan

Ah ok. Lancer might be the way to go then because I plan on playing up the legends of Hanzo supposedly having ESP and psychokinetic powers (apparently it was believed he could disappear and reappear, see into the future, and make objects explode just by swearing/yelling at them, which is quite frankly the best superpower ever).

Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - High Casual

Well, Hanzo could honestly go either way, but even without the Dual Summon, would they be allowed to use spears as their weapon of choice as an Assassin, or would they be forced to use other weapons? Could Hanzo as Lancer prinarily focus on direct combat but still retain their knowledge of stealth and tactics (without possessing any of the relevant Assassin class skills of course)?

Oh lord. Oh lawwwwd. Not Lu bu. Pls no Lu bu.

@TurboshitterHonda may very well be too strong a character to play in his home turf in my opinion. Honda is already strong, and being in Japan just compounds that fact. It would depend on how you play him to not make him broken. Hanzo may be slightly more manageable as the enemy assassin has quite the nasty noble phantasm.

@vancexentan

Well you may not like what I have in mind for Hanzo either lol. Would a dual summon be pushing it? Hanzo was primarily known for ninja-ing but was also a master spear-fighter. It'd mostly just be justification for a ninja who uses spears.

Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - High Casual

I had a Rider idea, but then I decided it'd be better to take advantage of the Japan bonus :P

Which means I might have to use Hanzo, because at least an Assassin won't be as hideously broken as Vlad, a Lancer, was in his home turf. Then again, it's all up to the GM. I'd certainly appreciate the chance to play either, although I have some interesting ideas for how to play with Honda's reputation of "the Warrior Who Surpasses Death".

Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - High Casual

@vancexentan Ehhhh... While his betrayal is very famous (to the point where people remember him for little else), I'm not sure I'd call him an Assassin if only because he didn't personally kill Nobunaga.

Honda Tadakatsu on the other hand is apparently a Japanese Highlander and comes pre-equipped with deer antlers and a spear honed to anime-levels of sharpness, which all sounds pretty fucking awesome (I've always wanted to play him in a Fate RP but I have a long, long waiting list in that regard).

@Grey How does "psychic ninja girl" sound to you?

Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - High Casual

Alright, I'm thinking of either doing Hattori Hanzo as Assassin or Honda Tadakatsu as Lancer (probs both genderbends, because after all the shit Grand Order's dumped on us why the fuck not). Does anyone have any preference between the two?

Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - High Casual

So are we sure Rider is taken? Because I have ideas for that and Lancer. I'm kinda drawing blanks on Assassin, except to maybe make a Hassan who's super into smoking weed erry day (as is tradition).
