Also, Magic uses Magic Affinity instead of Power Level for Exertion, right?

Yes.

well as a musician. There are many secrets to his past aka if you want to know more you'll
have to ask in-game.



Skills/Techniques/Learned Abilities:
Plasma Stream
Charge: 5 seconds
Inventor: A rather common technique among djinns who do combat at all, nobody knows.
Effect:Increases energy output in an area near user's hands, before 'pushing' it
towards target. The stream burns through almsot anything it touches. Deals 3 base damage.
Exertion: 30

True Flight
Charge: 1 second.
Inventor: A variation of the flight technique used by most djinns, this was created by Nene.
Effect: Decreases user's weight to 0.1g, before 'pushing' themselves in the direction they want to go.
creates an aura of energy around the user which is kept tight around them, as it is the mass converted
to allow flight.
Exertion: 1 per second.

Strength of a Hundred
Charge Time: 2 seconds
Inventor: Mr Nene
Effect: At the point of impact of the fist, user increases it's weight temporarily by a
multiplier of 100. Therefore, a fist that normally weighs 10kg would weigh 1000kg upon impact.
Exertion: 10

Push
Charge Time: 10 seconds
Inventor: Some combat genie thousands of years ago. He's still alive.
Effect: Pushes a 'wall' of air towards the target at high speeds, pushing them along with anything
in the way at high speeds.
Exertion: 20

Hidden Universe
Charge Time: 1 minute
Inventor: Mr Nene
Effect: Warps space in an area into a bublle with a pinprick-sized hole. The bubble is much, much
larger on the inside, and nigh-unescapable. It can also be used as a safe place to hide.
Exertion: 30.

I probably have to do a hella lot of balancing. So, what do I need to fix?

[Shadestyle]

Nene huh? I smell shadow magic.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Nene huh? I smell shadow magic.

...I don't get it.

[Shadestyle]

This guy. pretty bad dude from blue dragon, uses the shadow magic and doesn't afraid of anything.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Huh. Never heard of him.
So, who thinks I need to do some balancing? *raises hand*

Well, Gm said to specify base damage before multipliers, unless the technique has a base damage of one.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Strength of a Hundred doesn't do any damage by itself per se, it just increases the power of my punches.
Push doesn't do damage by itself either, since it just pushes them. Whatever they smack into, on the other hand...
Hidden Universe is non-combat.
Really, the only technique I need to specify damage for is Plasma Stream. How much damage would that do, rounded up?

[Shadestyle]

Well if my math is right, with a base damage of one, it would do 600 damage, I Think, the sheet isn't too clear on that, but basically, any technique would kill any untrained default character unless the attacker was human and the opponent had some means of defence or was a Sayan or half-Sayan. I could be wrong of course, but that would basically make player verses player combat a deathtrap until they trained their health substantially. The guide says that attack is "Damage of attack times (Your stat/Their stat)" So Base damage of 1 Times 600 would be, well 600, compare that to the Sayan starting health of 200 and basically, only NPC enemies have any chance of surviving, and only NPC's would have a starting attack low enough to not kill in one hit. Unless beam struggles and dodging is a thing. so I would figure being evil is a definite no go until Very late game for any mischief makers whipping up a character sheet right now. not sure how this works into fighting the enemies that the GM will be throwing at us, so I cannot say on that front. I just made my techniques have a ton of prerequisites to balance them out. Way i figure it, If the Gm has no problems with your balancing, then there are no problems to be had, half of us are going to die in the Sayan saga anyway since they start with a power level averaging of around 10,000, unless the backstory portion lasts long enough for us to get some flashback training in. And i just realized i am rambling.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

I think the answer is no, but I gotta ask anyway. Will the Magic Affinity of powerful Saiyans we fight be high, or will it be around the same as one of the Saiyans a player would start as?
Incidentally, a way to balance Plasma Stream would be to have it do damage like so;
Magic Affinity/2=Damage
Or something like that. I mean, I'd still do around 150 damage to Saiyans, but still. Or maybe;
Magic Affinity/4x3=Damage.
I dunno, there's lots of ways to go about weakening it.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

-snip-

You didn't fill out the equation entirely.  Saiyan Mystic Affinity would be 150 at default, so the filled out equation would be:
1*(600/150)
which would result in 4 damage against a starting sheet Saiyan.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Huh. So, balanced?
Didn't know it worked like that, though. From what Shadestyle wrote, it seemed like I'd do 450 damage against starting sheet Saiyans.

[Shadestyle]

If i may quote my Past self, "Don't quote me on that, everything i say is wrong, including this." I had no idea it worked like that either. looks like i have some balancing to do as well.
