Fairy Tail Guild RP Current News


Hey everyone, it's me, your Lord and Savior, your Once and Future King, and your new Admin-for-Life Unlimit Sendo. I'm here to drop some turnbuckle-diving elbows and awesome news. There's been some relatively small updates to rulings regarding summon familiars and single summons. Additionally, there's also been a pretty big update in regards to the AP shop which reorganizes it and adds a ton of new stuff. You can find that in the AP Shop section under Item Creation. Check it out.

B class options:

Name:Crystal Pendulum Bay-- Storm Libra
Class:B
Description: A weaponized contraption utilizing a crystal head pendulum, traditionally used for divination purposes, and a wire in a spring loaded wheel contained in the bay, for launching and retracting. The wire reaches as long as 50 meters long, the wire is .20 of an inch wide. Wire is magically reinforced, able to support up to two people's weight under strain. The base of the item is of a light weighted metal with a wheel mechanism further back. Attached are cloth bindings, designed to attach the pendulum bay around a person's arm. The base is painted white. On it, drawn in blue paint is the zodiac constellation symbol for Libra . On the spinning wheel contraption, is the magic circle of Zachary's higher level Star Magic: Arc of Cosmos magic circle.

Effect/Function: Pendulum weapon can be used to launch the wire and crystal head like an arrow or whip with motion of the user's arm. Used to lash, pierce, or tie up a target.

The pendulum and wire is enchanted, allowing motion of the pendulum and wire to move according to the caster's will, changing direction a maximum of 3 times while active, used for both attack and defense. Control of the wire lasts for 2 posts, cooldown of 2 posts.
Technique Visual



Mechanism in pendulum bay also allows the quick retraction of the pendulum and wire. rewinding the wheel and returning back to the gauntlet. Combine use of the wire, allows the retraction to also act as a grappling hook to haul the wielder through the air, if the wire is attached to a sturdy object.

Ideally used for range combat. Strength of item is equivalent to : 40 strength stats. Speed of launch: 40 speed stat points. Speed of Retraction: 40 speed Retraction is once per post, one post cool down for mechanism to adjust spring density again.

Maximum equivalent strength would be about 30.
How fast can it be retracted/shot? Multiple times per post? Once per post? With a cooldown?

Added details. Used m/s as seen in websites for speed used with arrows. Let me know if it needs tweaking, but slowest measure of speed for an arrow was 66 m/s when i read it so thought it was appropriate for this.

And Ten, when you said 30, you meant pounds right or another unit?

When do we ever use speed using metres per second? Give it an actual speed stat, same with a speed for how fast it can be fired using the stats.

And I mean an approximate value equal to 30 strength.

Okay, I changed value of pounds and metrics to stat point balance. I hope I did it right, since the stats are not an exact science. Please look it over and I will adjust accordingly.

I'm no expert, but I'd say a speed of 50 is too high. 25 sounds more reasonable for a C-Class item. In terms of spell comparison, C-Class items are Rank 3-4. That much seems reasonable to have a speed of 25.

I made it 25, though if I may ask, would having 30 speed be pushing it? Just asking as i read the stats and I think 30 would seem a bit appropriate for a whip/arrow-like weapon, but just asking there.

"25: The person is quick. They are able to run comfortably at a fast pace without difficulties and the limit of their stamina.

30: The person has good speed. They are able to run long distances at a mediocre speed without difficulties and the limit of their stamina. "

Also since I plan to upgrade it along the way, what ranks of speed would be allowed following? I am getting a lot of ideas that I can use this type of weapon for, so I'd like to learn of its physical limitations first. Like for example, like in Shaman King, character use this type of weapon as a grappling hook to haul himself through the air and up objects. I figure that kind of thing could only be used via B class weapon.

After some thinking I personally feel this is beyond C-Rank as a base item and should be B-Rank minimum.

How so? Because of the stats? Or because of the mechanical quality of the item?

It was my understanding that items of B class were not limited by physical mechanics but versatile use of abilities. The whip-retraction part is mechanical so I didn't see it as a big issue.

Could you please specify? If this kind of weapon is too much for C class, I might as well work on the upgraded version to deck it out more. For example, the use of the rewind effect and wire, could be used as a grappling hook to haul the user into the air.

I'll quote the equipment definitions back at you again:

Quote:
 
- Class D (Simple weapons like a simple sword. 15,000-30,000 Jewels)
- Class C (high quality, yet simple weapons. 100,000 - 500,000 Jewels)
- Class B (high quality weapons with a special characteristic. Here is where weapons can have magical properties. 1,000,000 - 5,000,000 Jewels)


A wrist-mounted crystal-tipped arrow launcher that is connected with wire and is retractable with the strength to pull things is more than a "simply, high quality" weapon and is a "high quality weapon with a special characteristic".
