I googled that term and I would say yes?

@Skyswimsky

True enough I guess. The majority of our PCs don't have powers that would suffer from the Manton Effect though.

@Ashifili

That does raise the question, is there an equivalent to the Manton Effect in this game?

@Eschatologist

I recognize that term, and as far as I can tell no?

Labyrinth

“Wow…” Alexander muttered quietly as the tip of his weapon cut the core in half and then pierced the stone floor with little trouble. A splash told him that the split halves had just splattered to the ground lifelessly behind him and he glanced as the Slime that had aimed for Vincent became target practice for Senna. Again the arrow bore through its gelatinous body without much trouble and shattered the core within. Really, it was sad, but then again it was better than a desperate fight for survival he supposed. He gave the archer another thumbs up as he refocused his attention on the remaining creature.

As the final core seemed to shiver at its impending doom, Alexander tugged his weapon free and flicked the slime off it with several quick swings. He approached the final monster carefully, several slashes scattering any slime that the core tried to draw towards it. With how thin its body currently was, he didn’t have much trouble plunging his weapon into the Slime. Yet he did so just shy of the core and with a flick of his wrist, tried to dislodge the “organ” from the body that encapsulated it.

Labyrinth

“Nevermind!” He called out to Vincent now that the cores were visible since he was close enough. It was a good thing he didn’t ask for Senna to shoot the flasks he supposed. Course it was a bit annoying for the Slime to simply linger in the same place after it had expanded to its max size, so he naturally grinned when two of the cores drew collected fluid around themselves to become mobile entities.

Having already seen and dealt with their method of attack, Alexander was prepared to receive the Slime’s leap. A careful eye watched the core’s position within the gelatinous mass as he stepped to the side, used both hands to swing his sword through the creature’s body, stepping past the midair Slime as his slash completed.

If he was successful, Alexander didn’t hesitate to press the advantage. While yes, the speed at which the Slimes had formed from the puddle was impressive, there had been a brief moment before the blobs had managed to tense and leap. It would be child’s play to bury his blade into one of the remaining two before they could do just that.

Strive to make it this.

Labyrinth

“Ugh…” It was safe to say, but Alexander rather disliked Slimes by now and the sight of a particularly massive one didn’t sit well with him. It didn’t help that the cores weren’t readily visible this time around… though maybe the vials it had surrounded at first were in fact the creature’s core? Well, he didn’t necessarily want to destroy the floor’s treasure thanks to a mistaken guess.

He glanced over in Vincent’s direction at the man’s weapon and shook his head. “The cores seem fairly fragile, but also at the center. Not sure how well plunging your hand into one that’s still alive is going to work out for you.” With that said, Alexander dashed forward to hopefully attract the slime’s attention though he was careful to keep a bit of distance in case it proved faster than expected. “Grab the flasks!” Hopefully he could draw it away so one of the other three could dart in and grab the flasks, or its cores would be revealed as it pursued him.

How did you work that one out? KoL said it would weigh nearly 49,000 tons altogether. I don't know much about Maths and Engineering, but I know that if you took 49,000 tons of pressure to the kisser, you would be effectively liquidated.

@White Feather

His character summons up to 9000 or so Stars that weigh 10kg each. That's 90 tons, no where near 49,000. And he figured it out because he's the one that made the power?

I was talking about concentrated damage, not in blast power. But it certainly is strong than the nukes that hit Japan combined.

See Fat Man had a 21 kt yeld and Little Boy 15 kt. Hoshiko's stars can go on to 49 kt yeld if them all are together.

@KoL

Yeah, just wondering what sort of calculations you used to get to that number.

<Snipped quote by Ashifili>

It's not even a super punch, it's tactical nuke level damage in the specific object that's hit by it, which... has led us @TheWindel, @AgentFallenSoul and I, to reconsider it bit. Actually, when I showed the numbers to them, they almost fainted. Thus, we worked on a solution that's good to everyone.

I'd like to asked if you would lower the maximum number of orbs to 1024, which would give you about 1 and half times the output of a WW2 era naval canon (based on very sketchy math), or about 550,000 tons of force down from 49,000,000. But you can keep the activation time where it is, which would mean he can fight at full power for more time and you may find ways to (at least temporarily) overcome those limitations.

That's is a little compromise, but I'd like you to know what we did is for the better.

@KoL

Just wondering how you got to tactical nuke levels of damage.

@Zombehs
Except for Sonomachi, the town that doesn't exist~

@Ashifili

Presumably still in a district/prefecture of Japan that does :3
