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

@Turboshitter I'd also like to offer this alternative to the poison scenario:

"Lancer, and Berserker ran around the corner chasing their target. They were just out of reach always. They couldn't fail to catch this fool even if it meant having to find the enemy caster who made this labyrinth. However Lancer felt a twinge of caution wondering what the hell was in this place. They lost sight of the target as it rounded a corner. The ground rumbled. Berserker paid no heed but Lancer stopped wondering what was happening. Berserker barely heard the words that came next...'-RENT ARTHUR!' was the last words that he ever heard as a blazing red light evaporated his being. He couldn't dodge, and he couldn't move out of the way as the corridors around him were too tight. All that remained was the scattered prana of Berserker's being as the wave of energy smashed into the wall causing an explosive blast that knocked back Lancer dazing him."

The second Mordred unleashes Clarent into a sealed, confined space with nigh unbreakable walls means anything in it's way is fucked.

@vancexentan

That seems like a very unlikely scenario given she'd have to navigate the labyrinth full of deadly traps herself first just to find them. And she would have to, because the likelihood of encountering someone in a mile-wide maze by just standing in one spot is astronomically low.

Because Charak forgot to list it before it was accepted

@1Charak2

Do you want to change it?

Also, I had considered the possibility of using Daedalus and Locusta's NPs in tandem, but there are two huge problems with doing so. The first is that they both take hours if not a whole day (maybe more for Daedalus) to activate, requiring a lot of work and prep time to make use of. That's the kind of stuff your opponent would need to be blind to not notice. The second is civilian casualties. Activate either or both of these NPs in a heavily populated area and there are just going to be so many dead civilians. This again makes using them alone or together more unwieldly and much more obvious to your enemy.

Basically, it's like placing a sign that says "free candy inside" outside a munitions dump and expecting your opponent to wander in and get blown up. It'll kill them dead with no chance for escape if it works, but they'd have to be the world's biggest idiots to fall for it.

While I do agree that Grand Order broke a lot of canon rules, among other bad things, the point still stands that there are legends that say Hitler had in his possession the Lance of Longinus, which is a pretty big deal. This factor would probably be, if anything else, his claim to being summoned.

Of course, only an irregular or corrupted Holy Grail War would be able to summon someone like Hitler in the first place, and even then, he'd probably be a Fourth or Third-Class Servant. Definitely won't stand a chance against actual Heroic Spirits, but still a formidable threat in his own right, especially with the Lance of Longinus in his hands. The way I'd see it, get rid of the lance, and Hitler is just about dead.

@Cu Chulainn

Oh I'm not denying the legends or the connection between Hitler and Longinus. I'm just saying that Grand Order is not a good reference point for Fate lore, or the lore of the Nasuverse in general xD

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

If we're getting into Nasuverse lore, there are actually very strong modern Servants around due to their actual feats they accomplished in life. Archer Nikola Tesla has an EX Noble Phantasm, for example, due to "bringing about the second coming of the Age of Gods." This, added with the part where Hitler was said to have in his possession the Holy Lance of Longinus (which in Fate lore, was equal to Ol' Rhongo,) Hitler would probably be a formidable side-boss sort of Servant, at the most.

Really tempted to do a Hitler-with-Longinus Lancer but holding back.

@Cu Chulainn

<Snipped quote by Cu Chulainn>

Mentioning that, how strong would Hitler actually be? Like, more modern Servants are weaker due to magic fading in strength over time. Would he mostly be a gag Servant? :P

@Cojemo

He'd probably be a gag Servant if anything, yeah. He probably wouldn't even qualify as a Heroic Spirit, tbh. Though it would be nice to see more dudes in our roster. Counting Genghis, half our Servants are already ladydudes, and the Black Faction's team has about the same ratio xD

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

@Cojemo Oh, she looks like she'll be fun.

@KawaiiKyouko Another unique attempt might be to rely on history for designing Genghis. Historically, Genghis Khan united most of the Mongol tribes under his rule using diplomacy and the promise of a better life through his sick social and economic policies. Many historians believe all the raiding and conquering Khan did after the fact was just a hilariously destructive attempt at team-building exercises. He acted like a bloodthirsty warmonger to keep the bloodthirsty, warmongering tribes underneath him working together instead of turning against him or each other.

Following this interpretation, Khan could be an excellent middle-manager or responsible, level-headed Team Mom xD

@Cojemo

One good twist I've seen done on Khan was that he was made in a similar existence to Altera, whereas in his case, he was engineered by the Divine Spirits in order to subjugate humanity. Had a crazy futuristic-looking whip and everything

@Cu Chulainn

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

@KawaiiKyoukoYesssssss... I recall doing a genderbent Genghis once. Twas fun.

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

Also, if you want an already used Servant we can always do the whole fate prototype thing and just make them different anyways.

@Cojemo

That's kinda what I'm doing with Richard, tbh. Fate/strange fake has already shown us the Nasuverse's Richard the Lionheart, but their version (the "official" version) rubs me the wrong way. So I'm falling back on the Vlad Clause and saying their Richard represents the legend built up around him, whereas my Richard will be closer to the actual historical person.

Speaking of, there's a canon Roland design now lmfao kms

@Grey

>looks
>is not a cute girl

For once I am disappointed that you did not pointlessly genderbend a character, F/GO. Shame. Shame on you for making Astolfo the girliest member of Charlemagne's Paladins.

Then again, even if Roland was a woman like ours was, I doubt they could be more feminine than Astolfo even then xD
