Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/5… If anyone's up for fighting some kaiju, why not try out my new RP, Godzilla: YATAGARUSU?

@LukasVolkov: Age isn't the only influencing factor, but you were approaching this from the wrong way. The older Sabers by and large have both power and skill, which is why so many of them are monstrously strong Servants and why Arturia is regarded as the best among them. Their skills are also honed for combat and not sport in many cases, which is a big factor.

This was important because it does really influence the setup you have in skills. It's not necessarily likely to come up, and like... I really don't want to give the impression that I'm complaining about someone being able to beat Arturia. I'm not. But I don't think someone like La Maupin would be able to do so in a straight fight based on the lore in the setting. That being said, I still think the idea of such a fight would be interesting but I feel like it's important to note the weaker, more modern combatant would pretty much be on the run the whole time.

For outliers in terms of much more recent Servants being able to take older ones in a straight fight, Okita would be someone to look at. She's weak, but her ability to nearly teleport and surpass material objects and causality to break things, as well as the sheer inhuman level of her skill, is a big factor. She'd still be on the disadvantaged side though. Tesla is another example, though in his case it's a lot more specific who he can take on.

That's what we were trying to get across.

Now as for your bio...

I just think it's a little poorly-defined in terms of what a "C-rank Noble phantasm strike" actually means? And a combat analysis is still pretty damn strong since it lets you figure out how to fight someone very very quickly. While we've said a lot about older Sabers vs younger Sabers being a bad matchup, knowing how someone fights is pretty helpful in making sure you don't die.
Sophie's hands tightened into fits.

She'd killed monsters and bandits before. The violence was to be expected. But this...

This was like a butcher's abattoir. The remains of people were piled up, whatever the orcs didn't want had been left behind. There was very little to be said at this point, at the sight of something so grotesque, so awful.

The small girl's eyes narrowed.

"We're killing all of them," she said, simply, "Not a single orc is going to live. Not one is going to escape. We're slaughtering every single last one of them. They're going to live to regret this and no longer.

This was a vow she took in her heart as well. Sophie wouldn't allow the people who died here to go without vengeance. No, she would indeed serve as the instrument of their vengeance. It was what required of her, both in their memory and due to her role as an adventurer.

She'd bring back every orc in the raiding party's head if she had the chance. She wouldn't tolerate a single one managing to escape.

The bastards were going to die.

Saber - Arturia Pendragon


"Ah-"

Arturia was uncertain of how to handle this. Her Master had insisted she was beautiful, but how could that be the case? She was... terribly unfeminine, wasn't she? And more than that, she was a knight. Beauty was hardly a chief concern of hers... and yet... Her Master had already taken her by the hand and pulled her into the shop.

It wasn't the first time she'd had clothing purchased for her, but at the same time this experience was somewhat different.

Though many of Arturia's concerns were briefly dispelled when she saw the lion on the first outfit. It was quite lovely, a proud beast that displayed quiet nobility even in this simplified artstyle!

Though being made to try it on and step out to show it off was more then a little awkward... once in privacy, the King of Knights dispelled her armor and dress and put the shirt and skirt on. It fit quite well, at the very least, and wasn't at all difficult to move in. After a brief pause, Arturia stepped out only mildly red due to the circumstances. It wasn't very becoming of a knight, but it was difficult not to feel somewhat awkward. After a few moments, however, she swiftly grew more comfortable. It was hardly an unfamiliar outfit, after all, it was not dissimilar to something she had worn once before, even if it was lighter and had a shorter skirt.

"... This outfit is easy to move in, and the noble beast upon its breast is the image of fierce honor," the petite blonde smiled slightly to herself with a nod. If all the other outfits were similar to this, then there would be no need for concern!

The next outfit was another item she was even more familiar with: A black suit, dress shirt, and matching pants. It was, in fact, not too dissimilar to what she had worn once before, moreso then the first outfit. As she stood in front of her Master, adjusting the gloves that had come with the outfit, she noticed Ritsuko had grown rather red and seemed to be breathing somewhat heavier.

"Master?"

The next outfit was powder blue, pink, and came with a bonnet and an amount of frills that the Saber-class Servant had never seen on any outfit previously.

"Why... why do I l-look like a cake?" Arturia couldn't help but blush as she attempted to stand still in the extremely poofy dress. It was unlike anything she had ever worn before, and did not seem at all conducive to swift movement or anything combat-related whatsoever. Simply wearing it felt incredibly embarrassing!

Nothing that came after was so embarrassing as that however. Shorts, skirts, shirts, jackets, there were a few different items selected for purchase by the end.

"You did not need to buy so many, Master," Arturia said. Both of them had ended up losing track of the time... "Regardless, as they were purchased for me I will carry those bags."

@Rin
@LukasVolkov: Okay, what I'm trying to get at is um...

Like, do you mean she could take Arturia in a straight fight without her using Excalibur's true name, or is it more her doing her best to not die and get away?

I kind of hate to use my own character as an example because it feels like I'm taking an issue with the idea of someone being able to fight her, which I'm not. But it's more the disparity in age as Servants(which is a big deal), legendary status, that kind of thing. Given Julie's young age in comparison to Arturia's myth and lack of like, say, really insane reality-bending techniques, it's unlikely she'd be able to keep a straight fight up with a much more legendary figure for very long.

Again like, I'm not saying it's impossible for a younger Servant to fight an older one, but in a straight fight it's a lot harder so I'm trying to get a sense of what you're going for.
@LukasVolkov: Can I have some specific Saber and Lancer examples? I'd like to know exactly what you're going for.
@LukasVolkov: How much of an equalizer do you think that should be? Like, which Servants do you think it'd make her a big danger to?
@LukasVolkov: Hmm, I'll need to discuss this with the main a bit before coming to a full decision, when it comes to the skill.
Mihama Nanako


It was at that moment that her thoughts were interrupted by Meltryllis's rather elegant arrival through the window. Given how in and out things had been for her due to the painkillers, Nanako hadn't... really been able to really look at her Servant too well again... But seeing her okay, able to leap through the window like that. It had been the right thing to do. Even if she knew Melt thought it was foolish.

But the pain had been nothing at all, not after the result of her messing up. Regardless, though... she knew. She understood now what she had to do. Even in the still slightly-foggy state, Nanako knew.

"Eh-heheh, it's gotten a lot better," Nanako replied, "Some of the Casters they have working in medicine are incredible, but I think they decided not to rush it..."

She winced slightly when she raised her arm, but the pain was nearly nonexistent. Apparently, the bolt having gone through her body so cleanly was a good thing.

Yuriko T. Louvyngyr


Yuriko gave her Servant a smile as the white-haired little girl adjusted her hat. Ah, even if this didn't seem difficult now...

That didn't mean it didn't feel it. There were plenty of reasons to ensure that Jack was well-cared for. To begin with, the fact that Jack the Ripper was in fact a little girl was one on its own. The kind of life a little girl must have lead to result in the killings that occurred, for a little girl to be so violent, well... that said enough on its own.

Besides, even killing someone in cold blood didn't mean you were forever tainted.

Yuriko knew that well enough.

Aside from that, it was also important to try and make sure that her Servant was not unhappy simply due to logic. It was the best way to make sure there were no incidents, given Jack's nature. So keeping her happy was both for her sake and the sake of others.

It only made sense.

That being said, it was easier said then done. Yuriko had never had younger siblings and never dealt with children very much in general. So really she was winging it.

But she was winging it for the sake of a really cute little girl, damn it!

"I'll let you pick out your clothes when we get there," she said, taking her Servant's hand in her own and guiding her downstairs. At least she hoped that would work. She was prepared to use a guiding hand if Jack's picks turned out inappropriate. Based on the outfit she was summoning in this wasn't exactly impossible...

"We'll be heading down to the shopping district," Yuriko continued. She lived in a fairly expensive apartment, large enough to have plenty of room for both her and Jack. She'd made sure of it. "There's bound to be a lot of people there, so stay close and don't get lost, okay?"

With that, Yuriko opened the door and exited her apartment, leading the pale little girl by the hand as she did. Jack wasn't the biggest fan of the sun, so Yuriko had purchased the sunhat to help with that. It seemed to work well enough.

@Raineh Daze
@LukasVolkov: Okay, overall not too bad!

Just a couple things I'm seeing that need some tweaks: Endurance at A+ is crazy high for her, given her feats in life. I'd probably lower that a couple ranks. C+ maybe?

I'm a little perplexed by the high Mana rank as well.

Her first skill is a bit overcomplicated and incomprehensible. ^^; I'd maybe alter that to be more of an Analysis skill that lets her pick up and analyze enemy combat styles on the fly and thus understand how to counter them more effectively? Still fitting for a duelist who never lost a duel.

Other than that not seeing any issues.

La Maupin is one of my favorite historical figures, so hoping to see you really do the girl-hungry duelist with no self-restraint justice!

Edit: Actually could you explain the first NP more? I'm a little confused as to what it actually is meant to do.
