Rough draft for the Fairy team is up! I decided to make them as fast as skaven (A bit faster actually) and as dumb as Ogres (A bit dumber actually). Its... Not a beginner friendly team.

I also decided that they can use a normal apothecary. While a fairy may come back after getting killed any number of times, if it happens during a match they are probably not going to be back in the game until it has been over for a while.

Fairy team seams ridiculous, it is going to be like a halfling team, only you keep your players and it could be best described as the team that says this and only this "Its time to send them out, WAVE AFTER WAVE!!!" Also, I'm calling it now, their star player is going to be Cirno.

Really Stupid seems to be a bit much. Perhaps just giving them Bonehead?
Also my impression of the Fairy Healing Factor was less them healing mid-match and more them just not having any permanent injuries/deaths that last for more than one match.
1ST Dauntless seems hilarious though.

Um.

..Um.

Please, um, a little less mass use of the stupidity wand? I did mention that I was not good at this game when I posted the team, so while someone who knows what they are doing might be able to run this team, if you're going to make that their actual statline, I might need to duck out of this. Or make another team if I can think of one that seems fun. From looking over the rulebook I was expecting maybe Bonehead on most of them, not Really Stupid. I mean, I knew when making them that fairies aren't going to be a 100% hardcore master list, but having basically a 50% chance of them not doing a single thing every time for basically half the team sounds pretty unfun.

(it's also a bit puzzling that the Great Fairies seem to be less competent then the Maid Fairies given the Maid Fairies have neither Bonehead or Really Stupid and the Great Fairies have bonehead? The Great Fairies are the fairies that 'grew up/actually learned from their mistakes' after all?)

Also my impression of the Fairy Healing Factor was less them healing mid-match and more them just not having any permanent injuries/deaths that last for more than one match.

This has it correct. Fairies don't have magic wolverine style type regeneration stuff in touhou 'canon', they just come back to life/respawn a few days/weeks after they die. I was intending it to be more 'and after the game where half the team got killed they all showed up for the next match', not 'and then they respawned by halftime'.

1ST Dauntless seems hilarious though.

I'll admit that while I was kinda hoping for Dauntless on the Makai Fairies, seeing it on basically everything is... interesting. And hilarious.

Edit : Oh, right. Also, why do all of them but the Great Fairy have 'Right Stuff' when none of them have Throw Team-Mate?

[Tack]

I assume the Great Fairy is a ST3 big guy.
Which is also hilarious.

[Tack]

Sorry for the doublepost

Spoiler: Wizards (click to show/hide)

Ever since the NAF ruled that certain membership cuts only applied to those fielding teams, the Wizards, who had until now only sat on the sidelines, have taken to the pitch!
This doesn't preclude them being human of course, and old men can really only run a ball only so well. But a little magic in the right place gets the job done well enough.

Lineman (0-16): Acolyte (AV7- Fend)
Specialist (0-X): Wizard (AV7- Animosity-like, Lots of skill access)
Big guy (0-1): Ogre

Demivamps go! Just saw the cultist team. Six secret weapons... hmm.

[Happerry]

The Fairy team doesn't actually have a big guy. They're just specialists. (That would have been funny though if they really were a ST3 big guy, yah.)

[Supernerd]

They have the Right Stuff skill because Star Players are a thing that exists. The trick to managing the lesser fairies is to have the non really stupid players move next to them, which reduces the chance to miss an action from 1:2 to 1:6.

I guess I could just give the linemen bonehead instead, but I would reduce their MA to 8 or something if I did.

The great fairies have it but not the maid fairies because you explicitly said that the maid fairies aren't as easily distracted while you said that the great fairies are smarter "but still fairies", implying that while they were smarter, they still were easily distracted like the others.

Also, I feel like the intention was for you to have the great/maid fairies around your other fairies to give them the roll bonus, plus your extra re-roll. Touhou fairies as a CONCEPT seems like a team that's not beginner friendly, though I have multiple free use teams in the works you could play if you'd like(was actually working on a third that might be more interesting).

About what I was expecting, and the change is probably for the best

[Supernerd]

Also, I don't have a problem with moving the bonehead from the Great Fairies to the Maids if you would prefer that. Happerry was correct about my reasoning for the original skill placement on both accounts.

Huh. I actually missed up till now that Really Stupid had that little 'if someone else is standing next to you you get a bonus' bit...

I guess I could just give the linemen bonehead instead, but I would reduce their MA to 8 or something if I did.

...But honestly I think I'd still prefer this.

The great fairies have it but not the maid fairies because you explicitly said that the maid fairies aren't as easily distracted while you said that the great fairies are smarter "but still fairies", implying that while they were smarter, they still were easily distracted like the others.

The bit where the Maid Fairies were said to pay attention was meant to excuse/justify any ball handley type skills they ended up being statted with honestly, though on a reread I can see where you're coming from. It just feels a bit weird.

My expectations basically were 'probably bonehead on everyone but maybe the greater fairy, hopefully the makai ones end up with dauntless, maid fairies are the ones with any ball handling skills the team starts with, and then the great fairies are actually competentish and with the better statlines, with the pesudo-immortality being some sort of after the match recovery bonus for all my probably stepped on fairies'. Having Dauntless on almost everyone was a very nice surprise.

Though with fact that the Really Stupid rule actually has that 'stand next to the dude' bonus that's less painful then I thought it was on my first read-through. The team does look fun to play, even if it's liable to have an 'interesting' learning curve. That movement is pretty dang good, even if you do end up nerfing it a bit, the massed dauntless is going to be fun, and both Greater Fairies and Maid Fairies will probably be pretty nice once they survive long enough to level up and get some skills (and that Pro skill is also a nice surprise I wasn't expecting). I'm still inclined for Bonehead over Very Stupid though. (though now that i've said that, i'm sure there'll be at least one game in which I'd have won if it wasn't for the probably nerfed movement if you go for the movement nerf like you said you'd probably do.)

-mental breakdown removed-

Spoiler: Miskatonic University (click to show/hide)

Team Designation: Miskatonic University
Species Description:
Mutants - Your average American, it's just that these days(Read: early 1920s in a heavily lovecraft touched world) America is the kind of place where people with some form of major deformity are more common than those with out. Mutations are everywhere, though some more subtle than others, and a majority of people have something that impacts day-to-day life in some way. They're normal people who have normal lives, just a bit freakier
Australiens(intentional pun) - the typical australian these days. Gooey, small, and ignorant to pain. Australiens are the dedicated little guy in any group they wind up in just by nature, they're also known to get up quick and can put themselves back together with minor difficulty.
Cannibals - your average English person these days. After the country went through what can only be described as a cannibal apocalypse, the average English man and woman are now more than happy to chow down on their fellow humans as if it was just any other meat, and everyone's just kind of fine with that. This diet has altere their bodies to be taller, stronger, and more uh, "physically appealing"(I don't think a single one of the women is below a C cup).
Void Touched - your average French person, for a while now actually. After the Void(an ancient god of hedonism) became a lot more active, they started growing large purple fingers out of the top of their heads, these fingers are completely functional, but their awkward placement means they don't add anything more than being an oversized hand. Also their accents got like, twice as thick.
Dunwichers - also known as Dunwich Horrors, Dunwichers are the resultant spawn of Yog-Sothoth and a human woman(and possibly a few generations of Yog and other Dunwich Horrors). They are easily twice the size of a human, with arms reaching below the knees of their goat like legs, and long grasper tipped tails. Their bodies appear as pitch black silhouettes with orange eyes and teeth as lesser sapient minds actively refuse to comprehend their physically impossible bodies, despite technically being able to(in much the same way that you can technically drink a cup of bleach), they are innately wrong to most senses, smell excluded. Their immense regeneration means they can't properly be killed and injuries don't last, but the League ruled that if they would die or be injured otherwise they have to sit out the rest of the game anyway, for fairness sake, they're fine with this.
Extraordinary Abilities:
Not sure there are any, the Dunwichers are Pseudo immortal like the fairies but none of the rest of the team is though, and the mutants with their weird partially randomized start would probably count.
Apothecary Type: Normal, but can't actually work on Australiens or Dunwichers

Mutant (0-16):
Lineman icon:
Lineman name: Mutant
Lineman species/appearance: varies greatly, they all look somewhat human, but have something noticeably wrong with them, it could be tentacles for arms, a long tail, an eyeball for a head, a bottomless pit for a face, a shoggoth for a brain, the mutations vary greatly.
Lineman characteristics: mostly the same as human linemen, but a high chance to start with a random mutation skill and two randomly assigned stat reductions, cannot gain new mutations.

Australien (0-2):
Specialist icon:
Specialist name: Australien
Specialist species/appearance:Small, humanoid ooze people, containing remnants of a human skeleton in their proper places.
Specialist characteristics: small, quick, and dodgy, can easily shift their bodies(mutation as normal skills basically), regeneration.
Specialist limit: 2

Cannibals (0-4):
Specialist icon:
Specialist name: Cannibals
Specialist species/appearance: like normal humans, but taller, better built, and much sharper teeth, also bleed purple for some reason
Specialist characteristics: strong, tough, not as good for tasks like handling the ball, but plenty good for hurting people, can't always resist taking a bite or two(or ten) out of a downed player and don't discriminate between teams either.
Specialist limit: 4

Void touched (0-2):
Specialist icon:
Specialist name: Void Touched
Specialist species/appearance: like normal humans, but with the notable trait of having giant purple fingers growing out of the top of their heads, a full set of four and a thumb in fact. It looks far less disturbing than it sounds.
Specialist characteristics: Effectively has a giant hand on their head, this is awkward to use, but is still a giant hand. Trained in retrieving and throwing the ball. Void Touched occasionally do things they weren't supposed to do due to their connection with the void.
Specialist limit: 2

Dunwicher (0-1):
Big guy icon:
Big guy name: Dunwicher
Big guy species/appearance: appears as a large(and very tall), distinctly female and almost satyr-like silhouette with glowing orange eyes and teeth, and a long tail. their arms are proportionally significantly longer than a humans. They appear as silhouettes because most lesser sapients minds actively refuse to comprehend it for their own safety, despite being technically capable of doing so.
Big guy characteristics: spend large amounts of time focused on Yog without a teammate, but they're big, strong, possessing a prehensile tail, and innately wrong to most senses.

Edit: Added a new player type, Void Touched, intended to have good skills for handling the ball, but fairly average stat-wise

Also, sorry about the rant up there. This kind of thing happens once every year or two, you can only bottle up so much frustration before the lid pops after all. Going to keep it up there unless Supernerd says to remove it, but needless to say I was awake 16 hours straight yesterday and the day itself was fairly frustrating as a whole. It's not any of your faults.

But seriously though if anyone would be willing to take my place as the Nar-Sie cult PLEASE DO I made a mistake assuming that Dunwichers not being killed for good wouldn't be allowed and now I'm potentially stuck with a team that I would rather not play in comparison.

[Supernerd]

It was to my understanding that the Fairy Immortality business was mostly a flavor text thing, though I can certainly make it work. What I would probably do is give them an ability that lets them recover from injuries at the end of a match, but have a chance to permanently leave the team at the end of every match. Like, The fairy getting bored and wandering off or respawning somewhere else and forgetting about the game or something. No player in this game will be totally permanent (Or in the event I permit it, they wouldn't be eligible to gain SPP).

I'm willing to let you do your new team idea if you really want, but make first confirm that you are totally happy with the idea because I am not making a third team for you.

[Failbird105]

Yes, absolutely. I am 100% sure about this.

Also isn't there a thing where players retire after a while?

[Supernerd]

There is, but... Not retiring for 13-15 years and playing 8 games per year, I highly doubt that this will last long enough for that to be relevant.
