Free Custom Slots

[The Bilby Guy]

Yuffie Kisaragi gets a free Custom Ability Slot for being made and I am here to fill it up. However, I forgot that she also gets one for the sign-up thing we did so I am filling that as well.

A Physical Ability:

ABILITY NAME Fall Breaker
ABILITY TYPE Standard
ABILITY DESCRIPTION With this ability a character can land from any height at any speed safely, without sustaining injury from the fall regardless of how they came to be in one. The character will need to consciously break their fall by landing purposefully in order for this ability to take effect. Fall Breaker will not prevent damage from being slammed into the ground without any real falling time by an enemy. It will also not prevent the damage caused by landing on a naturally hazardous surface.
USAGE Passive, unlimited
RANGE Self
ELEMENT None
POWER Average
SKILL REQUIRED 5 Strength, 10 Agility Discount: 10 Strength, 15 Agility
COST 550 Munny

[/blockquote]

An Equipment Ability:

ABILITY NAME Grapple Line
ABILITY TYPE Standard
ABILITY DESCRIPTION The character gains a special grappling line(Of whatever appearance they desire) which they can be fired out under its own self-propulsion or thrown to perfectly latch onto any solid surface, object or person that it can hit. Its flying speed is never faster than the character themselves can throw it, but it will be able to keep flying until reaching its full length when required even if they can't actually throw that far. The two ends of line will always hold firm to what they are attached and the line itself is tactile enough to easily grip. The two ends of the line can release their hold at any time the character wishes. The line itself can be broken by any force equal or higher to Average power. If broken the Grapple Line can not be used again in the battle, but if not broken it can be put away and taken back out again when needed.
USAGE One line
RANGE Up to 50 feet
ELEMENT None
POWER Average
SKILL REQUIRED 15 Agility Discount: 20 Agility
ABILITY REQUIRED Ranged Weapon Trainee
COST 250 Munny

Oops, looks like Fall Breaker is of higher regard than I could have imagined. Guess I'll have to keep saving one of those slots then. Here is 250 Munny for Grapple Line, please. Blade Handler's revision has been placed into the code as well. ^^

Going in for the customs already? xD

Mmmm... Fall Breaker is rubbing off on me as being Average (and therefore 250 munny). I'd be willing to accept it at Weak if it had limited uses/cooldown/some kinda drawback, though.

And Grapple Line is very nice, very nice indeed! ^^

I'll be awaiting your reply! ^^

[The Bilby Guy]

I'll admit it: I half-hoped Fall Breaker might be generic enough to get into the Shop so that even if the price was pumped up I could still afford it. lol. But since not I'm now uncertain of what sort of "drawback" seems appropriate for it.

Would not being able to use it consecutively work?

[Rocket!]

Actually, Fall Breaker has been put up for consideration in the Shop. This consideration could result in it being bumped up to Average... If you'd like to wait before breaking it down and see if it gets the green light first, that's okay. ^^

If not, then I'd certainly buy the every-other-turn tactic! -nod!-

NOTE: Current system for inducting abilities is, if inducted, to halve the munny needed to buy the ability IF the purchase has not occured yet. If it has already occured, then half the purchased munny will be returned.

I just didn't mention it's pending approval/denial is all... xD

[The Bilby Guy]

Let me know how that works out, then.

If I had known it had to be proposed as an Average ability I probably would have suggested 200 as the price, but I guess I can still afford 250 if you guys "buy" it from me. lol

[Rocket!]

Okay, so it's been discussed.

Fall Breaker would need to be bumped to Average and 550 munny to be both approved and inducted. Given that, I'd accept it at Weak with a seven round cooldown.

Also, a fantastic point pointed out to me. Grapple Hook reeeeeeeeeally shouldn't be able to auto-nab characters. Can you add something to accomodate that?

[Rocket!]

Also, while we're on the topic... Blade Handler has been called in for review. It seems I was too lenient! ^^;;;

ABILITY NAME Blade Handler
ABILITY DESCRIPTION With enough training in bladed weaponry a sufficiently skilled character can handle blades safely even with their bare hands. This allows them to hold blades by the edges and even wield them that way as if it were the handle, catch bladed weapons out of the air, or grab a hold of an enemy's bladed weapon without harming their hands. Blade Handler would not, however, allow a character to catch blades with the force of Average or higher power behind them at the time.
USAGE Passive; constant effect
RANGE Self
ELEMENT None
POWER Weak

This custom ability has been called in for review because it is too strong for Weak level. This can be remedied by upping the strength to Average and requiring a prerequisite of 15 Cunning and 25 Agility. Bargaining is always welcome. ^^

[The Bilby Guy]

Wow. You guys sure put a crazy high price on something that most people would probably just do automatically without even bringing it up in a Fantasy Action setting. I guess this is my punishment for being open and technical about it. XD So if you guys take it for the Shop but I can't actually afford to buy it myself do I still get Munny for it? lol

Where does it say Grapple Line can auto-nab people? If it hits them it can keep its hold, sure, but am I supposed to specifically say "It can be dodged" or something? o.o


Blade Handler huh? Yuffie just holds her weapons that way. XD Oh I see! It's because the way it is now sounds like she can catch sword swings out of the air like that kid in Kenshin or something, right? Not what I needed at all from it, really. Is this better?

If I wanted to actually snag enemy attacks I'd make a Strong one called Expert Blade Handler or something... might actually do that eventually. Hehe.

[Rocket!]

Well, between Quests and character battle plans that enjoy dropping people from high heights, this kinda thing can't be comes-free-with-the-meal price. ^^

Well... to make things simpler, why not just say the Grapple Line can only latch on to allies?

[The Bilby Guy]

Why? o.o

I'm not sure I follow. Are people not allowed to dodge things on this forum? I did notice some abilities seemed to mention can't-miss stuff... but I thought those were exceptions.

[Rocket!]

Dodging, eh? Well... could you mention just how fast the Grapple Line is, then?

And yes, there's some can't miss stuff... but those all have some limits! Grapple Line's range is huge for a Can't Miss kinda of ability, and the fact that it can only be broken by Strong abilities is something to twiddle one's thumbs about in the first place! xD

[The Bilby Guy]

Hm? Oh that. I guess I just assumed it would be that way since it was Average. lol. How is it now?

And was I right or wrong about the Blade Handler problem?

[Rocket!]

Grapple Line looks good, I think! ^^

Fall Breaker-- as it is typed now-- would still come to 550 munny.

And I think Blade Handler looks good too! ^^

[The Bilby Guy]

First post edited(Message above the code).

[Rocket!]

-250 munny for the bought Custom Ability!

Thank you for your patronage! xD

Lock'd!
