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.

Two halves of a whole; Temp pet queries

Heyo!

I'm essentially writing this to get the consensus from staff etc on whether or not something would fly before I spend a lot of time and resources trying to do it. Of course, this is also to see if others feel it SHOULD be doable etc

I have two temp pets that I wish to get, but they are essentially two halves of a whole. Brothers Skoll and Hati represent the Sun and the Moon respectively and I want them to have the option of being out at the same time. The issue is, they are temp pets and you can only have one out at a time. So, I experimented with the idea of having them be one pet, like two bodies with shared SP and TP.

Easy, that's doable I'm sure.

But, the thing is, it got me thinking on whether or not it would be possible to get them as two separate temp pets (each on their own blade). That is also doable, but they couldn't be summoned at the same time = my issue given then 'two halves of a whole' niche.

Here is my question to you all;

Would it be possible to write Skoll and Hati as individual temp pets, each for their own blade. BUT, to have a claus there stating that IF/WHEN they are summoned together, they lose half stat points (to equal just one being out at a time). I can see a couple of other things that would potentially need tweaking too so that it would essentially equal one of them being out in strength, but the idea is what I'm curious about. They would of course be temp pets of equal rank.

P.S, Could they also potentially then have a couple of techs that they only have access to while the other is with them? (Would be wasted TP really when summoned alone but worth for flavour IMO)

TL:DR:
 
Is it possible to have what is two individual temp pets out at a time IF their strength is cut in half to equal that of what one of them would have? (I see the rule of one temp pet at a time to prevent ppl buying multiples and just summoning them all at super strength and wrecking shit, so this kind of prevents that abuse.)

Who you calling chocobo head...

I personally think it would be okay, you're taking a measure to restrict any possible abuse from having both out at the same time. I won't go into the mechanically side of restricting things as I'm not staff anymore, but for what little my opinion is still worth rules are just to stop abuse and level the playing field, if you're willing to provide a work around I believe this is fine and staff should work with you.

Sarcasm. Because beating the shit out of people is illegal.

I would think that this would be perfectly acceptable.

Though if I'm not mistaken then doing this would mean that you would have to essentially lose all of the TP from Skoll and divide Hati's TP between the both of them (or vice verca). This seems like a bit of a downer to me.

Mmm, tp prevent the magic side of things being doubled up that is what would have to happen. I wouldn't have their magic stat be halved or anything to avoid the annoying shit that would happen from that lol but their physicals would and their TP would drop too. Possibly that they lose access to certain techs when together (therefore cutting the tp they have access to down).

I am alright with them losing power if it means the flavour of their whole back story can be a thing; the two halves of a whole. The option of being able to choose flavour in a situation appeals to me more than dedicated strength I guess xD
