>>23166223>you mustn't underestimate how inconvenient a hair-triggered chuubanite effect would be for the user and their surroundings.I never dispute that. I acknowledge that as a choice for the user (see
>>23164894).
>balancing is always a concern for me, it doesn't sit well with me when one option is presented as a straight upgrade to any other option, and if there are tradeoffs, i want them to make logical sense given the subject material.Well, if you want some tradeoffs for the glyph tattoo/scar system:
1. See above.
2. It's fixed once it's applied unless it ran out of juice or is surgically taken out.
3. You only have a limited area of skin to apply them.
3a. Especially if you don't want to announce you have tattoos to everyone.
3b. Or have to learn to control every trigger for all the active ones.
4. The chuubanite is completely within the user, potentially limiting what kind of effects it could have (e.g. you don't want to have it burn like coal).
>you can unite them with some form of movement or pose to complete them, allowing for the effect to activateYes, I got that idea from mudra and hand seals. I'm sure some anime probably have used that idea too. The hand lines on picrel also help (although it isn't the only way such a system can be implemented).
I miss her...>if the movement is natural enough that a simple twitch could activate it, it wouldn't matter what other tradeoffs it would haveI mean, if the user decided to make the trigger a natural action AND didn't train themselves to avoid that, then maybe them being taken out by a misfire's going to improve /meat/'s gene pool.
>i hope it isn't too inconvenient for you, but i prefer writing like this overall.I don't really mind that myself, just that I hope you understand its lower readability means people will take longer to read it by definition.
>>23166570I haven't played Dishonoured, but I did mention that in
>>23035948. Like what I mentioned in
>>23164894, it takes training and discipline to master such an effect, and Risuners' innate spryness (and smaller physique? If we assume risuners have an average physique, /meat/ risuners would be a bit smaller than average as I based their physical traits after a smaller squirrel) makes them more likely to master the skill. Having a tail for balancing helps too - actually, that also gives them one more limb for triggers. Thanks for the reminder!
