Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

To celebrate the forum coming back, and to motivate myself to get back into playing these characters... I think I'll take a page from Termite's book and do the same.

Enigma's Worth as a Slave

Base Value: 10

Price per Stats
Spirit: +25 Denarii

Price per Race
+5 for High Elf

Price per Combat Ability

+15 for Spirit Wielder
+60 for Powerful Spirit Wielder (Okay, technically 1 EP short, but 99 is close enough tbh -30 otherwise)


Price Adjustments
((Most of these here turned up surprisingly situational))

-50% for Rebellious (She's "honorable", but only more in the legalistic sense. Her word binds her, but good luck getting her to agree to giving up her freedom. By the off chance that she does though, +50%)
+10% for Beauty? (Well, she's...exotic. So toss this as a hit or a miss.)
+10% for Good Energy Slave/Receptive. (Open soul, sensitive, also a Demon Fetish, so she'd be good in Acheron).

Penalties
Resistant: -10%


Total
For a non-ideal buyer, and if Enigma doesn't assent to being a slave: 46 Denarii.
For an ideal buyer, and if Enigma assents (or is forced to give her word to obey): 184 Denarii.

Conclusion: Not a good slave to sell at all, barring maybe in Acheron. And even then, probably only to a specific demon into rainbow hair and madness.

~~~~~~~~~

Now then, what of Alisha?

Alisha's Worth as a Slave

Base Value: 10

Price per Stats
Body: +5 denarii
Spirit: +115 denarii

Price per Race
Looks more human than draconian, so nothing here.

Price per Combat Ability

+15 for Spirit Wielder
+30 for Powerful Spirit Wielder (Lacks a 3rd tree, otherwise...well.)


Price Adjustments
((Most of these here turned up surprisingly situational))

-50% for Rebellious (...Hands down, there is no making her obedient. She will look for any chance to mind control you in her stead.)
+10% for Beauty (Seductress, soft skin, so forth.
+5% Good at pleasuring partner.
+10% for Good Energy Slave/Receptive. (A bit of an understatement).
+10% for Infertile (for the buyers who don't want to pay child support)
+20 for Singer?

Penalties
Resistant: -15%
Dangerous (Enthralls): -10%

Total
Value: 78 Denarii.

Conclusion: Don't enslave her if you value your mind. Seriously.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And last but not least, my last character (who I hope to play again sometime, but probably not until I have more creativity)

Ayame's Worth as a Slave

Base Value: 10

Price per Stats
Mind: +5 denarii
Spirit: +25 denarii

Price per Race
Kitsune: +15 denarii

Price per Combat Ability

+15 for Mage
+15 for Spirit Wielder
+30 for Powerful Spirit Wielder


Price Adjustments
((Most of these here turned up surprisingly situational))


+10% for Beauty (Can change apperance to what people desire for the most part so...)
+5% Good at pleasuring partner. (Touch fluffy tail)
+20 Stage Magician, performs tricks for free.

Penalties
Dangerous (Soul Eater): -10%

Total
Value: 141.75

Conclusion: Surprisingly valuable for a no EXP character? Foxes make the best slaves so it seems.


~~~~~~~~

Well, that little exercise out of the way, think I'll finally get back to playing as them to see if any of this ever comes up.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

DG's back! Let's all figure out how much our characters will be sold for if they lose! >.>

... You guys are weird.

227-242 for Tamo assuming obedience, 159-172 assuming no obedience, 75-81 assuming disobedience. No bonuses for part demon appearance included.

Hey, it might be important eventually (probably not). And why am I not surprised Bakan would make a good slave? :X

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Because fads!

Nadia
Base: 10 denarii
70 Body: 85 denarii
30 Mind: 10 denarii
40 Spirit: 25 denarii

Angel race: +100 denarii

Warrior, Skill with Talent, 11 skills, puts her at veteran warrior I think. +15 denarii
Also a spirit wielder, +15 denarii.

Nadia would most likely not be cooperative if enslaved. -50% price. If properly broken in, however, she would be fairly malleable. Possible +50% price.

Nadia, being an angel and a redhead, is particularly and thus worth +10%

Nadia's a pretty good fuck cuz high stats and some mutations, so +5%

Nadia, from open soul, sensitive, a large energy pool, and multiorgasmic, is both receptive to pleasure and a quality energy source. Succubi will also find it particularly easy to do so. +10% roughly

With Selective Fertility, Nadia may get +10%

Nadia has Ranger, and thus +20 denarii.

Her 38 Resistance makes Nadia difficult or expensive to collar. -5%

Base Price: 270
Adjustments if broken in: 50% + 10% + 5% + 10% + 10% - 5% = +80%
Adjustments if not broken in: -50% + 10% + 5% + 10% + 10% - 5% = -20%
A broken in Nadia = 486 denarii
A resisting Nadia = 216 denarii

Lenalee:
Base: 10 denarii
10 Body: +0 denarii
60 Mind: +55 denarii
30 Spirit: +10 denarii

Human race, no mod.

Qualifies for advanced mage, +30 denarii

Is a spirit wielder, +15 denarii

Lenalee would be extremely difficult to break in. -50%

She's a pretty good energy source though, particularly to demons. +5 %

Lenalee has 30 Resistance! -5%

Base price: 110
Modifiers: -50%
Lenalee's final price: 55 denarii. Bargain bin lightning witch!

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Nal's worth 'roundabout 45 denarii, IIRC. Mostly because I'd probably try to slay my captor.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Kay. Now I need to figure Mirchell's worth as of now. ALL ABOARD THE BANDWAGON BABY.

Base value: 10 Denarii.
Stat modifications: 5 mind + 10 spirit + 30 body = 45 Denarii.
Race modifications: Full-Blooded Demon, +50 Denarii.
Combat skill modifications: Veteran Warrior & Spirit Wielder, +30 Denarii.
Misc modifications: Receptive to pleasure (Demon, Sensitive, etc: +5%), Fertility adjustments (Selective fertility: +10%), Rebellious (Probably. -50%, though could potentially be countered via her Honourable trait, or depending upon the master).
Penalties: Soul Eater (-10%).

Total base: 135 Denarii.
Unwilling: 74 Denarii.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Neri is one of probably-few characters this would have had real relevance to.

10
5 from body
50 (or more, potentially) from race
15 from veteran warrior, 15 from spirit wielder
used to be -50% rebellious, but she learned to act well enough to generally mitigate that
5% for being receptive to pleasure where that is important
-20% penalty for having a huge resistance to mind control, but only if the slaver wants that

95 total, then 100 if receptive to pleasure is important, but 76 if they intend to mind control her.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Well, i only have one so it must be easy... to do this in part because i have a lot of exp to spend
75 denari for stats
5 denari for high elf
15 denari for veteran warrior, (yet she is close to get 15 skills to reach 30 denaries for this)
15 denari for mage
15 denari for spirit wielder

all this give 125
+50% for obedient or -50% for rebelious
+10% for beautiful, yet she have many of these
+5% for good at pleasuring thanks to mutations
+5% energy slave

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

I'm not going to do Ashley for reasons of dignity and laziness, but here's Molly (Ayame's slave in x's thread):

85d
Stats: +25 (all mind)
Combat: +15 (as a mage)
Obedient: +50%
Sexually pleasing: +10%
Sexually pleased: +10%

Molly accepts her place as a slave enthusiastically and so will always be sold as Obedient.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Suggestions for succubus power revamps and additions!

Combine Pull Out with Unnatural Resilience:
Lead from the Bottom (Passive) - The character only takes 1d4 damage when resisting pleasure, and gains a +10 bonus to Resistance when determining how much PP damage is negated. In addition, as long as the character isn't unconscious or otherwise helpless they can prevent themselves from receiving pregnancy rolls when a creature penetrating them orgasms.

Buff Rhythm and Energetic Foreplay a little by allowing raising their caps for every orgasm a partner has:
Rhythm: While penetrated (or penetrating) in a hole other than the mouth, the character may take an additional 2X Pleasure each round. Any creatures penetrating them take an additional 3X Pleasure per round, so long as they would take pleasure from the penetration in the first place. The maximum value of X is 5; when penetrated the maximum value is increased by 1 for every partner brought to orgasm or each time deny release is activated but resets as soon as this character is no longer penetrated in a hole other than their mouth.

Energetic Foreplay: While causing pleasure to a creature in a way that does not result in the character taking pleasure themselves, the character may pay X EP in order to deal an additional 2X Pleasure. The maximum value of X is 10; when performing foreplay the maximum value is increased by 1 for every partner brought to orgasm or each time deny release is activated but resets if this character goes more than 3 rounds without performing foreplay on another character.

Minor bonus to the Aphrodisiac Fluid/Enthrall combo:
Aphrodisiac Fluids (Passive): Creatures who swallow the character's sexual fluids have their Resistance stat decreased by 2d6 temporarily. Creatures reduced to 0 Resistance by this ability gain the Aroused status and have their resistance reset, and if their Resistance drops to 0 again they gain the Horny status. If the character with this power has the enthrall talent and a target with the Horny status as a result of this power has or is made to orgasm this encounter then that target automatically becomes enthralled and the enthralling character gains a +10 bonus against attempts by the target to break free. This Succubus Power can be taken up to 3 times.

Maybe a bonus to Apparent Innocence since intelligent creatures tend to ignore it now and against particularly tough PCs most creatures are intelligent.
Apparent Innocence (Passive) : The character is less likely to be attacked by hostile creatures. If in a group, the character will usually be the last one to be attacked unless they obviously display that they're the thread. If alone, creatures will not (usually) attempt to kill the character, and will instead attempt either to knock the character out or rape them. This has no effect on non-intelligent creatures or on PCs. In addition, the character gains a +8 resistance bonus when attempting to Charm a target.

Maybe give Desperate Avoidance a smut-related option.
Desperation: The character can pay X EP at the start of their turn in order to increase their Dodge by 2X or reduce incoming PP damage by 2X until their next turn.

Make succubus shapeshifting a little bit different and offer an innate option for shifting more sexual mutations, since a bunch of races get shapeshifting naturally.
Shapeshifting: The character gains the Shapeshifter Special mutation. This power also allows characters with Shapeshifter to gain Futanari, Doublecock, Tight/Large, Snug/Stretching, Whip Tongue, Soft Skin, Massive Breasts, Lactation, Healing Milk, Vaginal Tongue, Greater Vaginal Tongue, and Tentacles even if they wouldn't meet the requirements for doing so normally (though they would still need to shift previous steps in cases of mutations which have prerequisites) for 2 EP per mutation per hour for normal mutations in the list and 4 EP per mutation per hour for special mutations. The character must have be Naturally Warped or higher to take this power.

Give selective fertility a few more options along the lines of shapeshifting.
Selective Fertility: The character gains the Selective Fertility Special Mutation. This power also allows the character to choose to gain or remove the Potent, Breeder, Connection, or Infertile Mouth mutations at any time for 2 EP per mutation per hour. A character must be Warped or above, or have the Demon or Faerie special mutations already in order to select this succubus power.

Aaand finally a Siren Song suggestion:
Siren Song: The character can, at any time, cause all creatures able to hear them focus solely on them. Each time this is used a resistance check is made against the character if the affected characters wish to try to ignore the effect. Each failed check causes affected characters to gain a +10 bonus (cumulative) to the next resistance check; succeeding resets the bonus but doesn't remove already accumulated effects. If affected characters fail a first check they take a -10 perception penalty for the purposes of opposing enemy stealth checks. Characters with the -10 perception penalty who fail another check caused by Siren Song become stunned. Characters who have been stunned by Siren Song who fail a check become Charmed. Using this ability takes up the character's turn, and if the character stops using this ability for more than one round then all effects caused by it end.

I have another idea that involves giving succubi soul gauges, but I'm too lazy to continue working on that right now.

Or maybe make it work differently all together, since non-intelligent already ignore it by the text and and like you said, intelligent creatures ALSO tend to ignore it, so I'm not sure who it actually works on.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

It's generally only meant to work round 1 or 2 against civilized enemies. The problem is, people with it treat it like it means "I will never be attacked" and then use things like Laser and Implosion in combat. If you see someone make something explode by looking at it, and know that that someone is soon going to be using it on you, then it really doesn't matter what you look like, you've become a target. Non-intelligent or wild enemies also won't care about appearances, and against wild ones the only benefit is a reduced likelihood of being attacked because your character looks less threatening. Also, if something's opting to attack everyone, they won't just exclude a character with AA just because. There's also the matter of expecting it to work on, say, a fallen angel, which wouldn't reasonably care about looks in the slightest, and would possibly find someone with AA an even more appealing target because sadistic asshole. A group of bandits, or a bunch of orc soldiers, or something of that sort, that's what AA works against. Unless you are obviously a threat because blowing things up with your mind, in which case you're going to be murdered/raped just like anyone else.
