Transformation Question

[Majicka]

SSJ 1 - SSJ 2 - SSJ 3

I understand, perhaps incorrectly, that this is the chain you can follow. You can substitute one form for something else, but you could never have Special Form - SSJ - SSJ3.

So, my question is if you if you have a form, can you change it at a later point?

Like could I have SSJ, then for my second form have USSJ, but then later through RP develop it into SSJ 2? No shift in actual CA from the previous form, but a different appearence?

[Kaden]

It would always be listed as SSJ2, but you could RP going from USSJ to SSJ2, yeah.

[Majicka]

The physical differences would be allowed though, right?

[Kaden]

In the case of "USSJ," yeah.

In the spirit of this thread, I too have a transformation question.

Firstly, PP is only 'used' in PC v. PC fights correct? So, for instance, If i was planning on using the current event in KT as a springboard towards the birth of a transformation, would it us PP?

Secondly, I have a question about an idea I have for my transformation. It has to do with Self-Augmentation. I was considering augmenting a layer of energy around Alex's body (not augmenting his body, as i understand that to be Immaterial), in order to make Alex a 'walking weapon.'

Would that be allowed?

Actually, I can't recall if pp is required for PvE sagas.

I would think so. But, I'll have to look into that.

But, yeah, outside of sagas, you're totally right - you'd only need it for PvP.

As far as your layer of energy thing goes, like, you just want to use ki control to sheath yourself in energy? That should be alright, depending on how the tech is phrased. I mean, ultimately we'd have to see it to see if it would be considered op or whatever.

By the way, from what I've heard from Kaden (and what's already happened), transformations don't cost PP if they're not used against another player. At least that was the case for this saga.

PP is used in PC vs PC fights, and in saga's where the PC is attacking a Saga NPC, other than that it's not counted because that would be tedious.

[Kaden]

Additionally, PP is consumed any time the increase of CA would directly affect the results of a competition between players. This does not exclusively mean combat.

In Kill Town, for example, if Power-Ups had made an impact on event placements, then they would have cost PP, even though there was virtually no PvP combat.

In terms of a power-up. Is it possible for me to transform my skin into like some sort of metal suit or something. Like Riaden from mgs 4(not him, but his suit? or maybe not my skin, but something along those lines.

[Tyr]

Vad has something similar, I think.

As far as your layer of energy thing goes, like, you just want to use ki control to sheath yourself in energy? That should be alright, depending on how the tech is phrased. I mean, ultimately we'd have to see it to see if it would be considered op or whatever.

I'm not thinking tech, I'm thinking transformation (power-up). I've discussed using a number of triggers to unleash the transformation, but I envision the trigger causing him to almost double-over in pain, and start trembling all over, and then have his body (unwillingly) shoot into an erect position and slowly start augmenting itself with his energy, turning him into a man coated in energy, a walking weapon.

But i don't want to purchase a power-up before my idea is approved, ya dig?

[Kaden]

How would that be different than, say, a saiyan turning SSJ (ignoring the cosmetic effects, obviously)?

You can have the power-up look however you want it to. Functionally, though, it will be exactly the same as everyone else's.

[Alexander Trafford]

I just didn't want it to intrude on Immaterial. Self-Augmentation and Immaterial seem to be very close.

[Kaden]

As long as you're not actually making yourself impervious to physical attack by turning Trafford's body into a cloud of ki, you should be fine.

Like I said, the description of the power-up can read however you want. The end result -- x2 CA -- is always going to be the same.

EDIT: A good example (and this is being said more in general than to Alex, specifically) is RPing a power-up as putting on some big fancy suit of armor. If I RPed that for Kaden, he would still have shitty Endurance, it would just be slightly less shitty than normal. The fact that he's wearing a huge suit of armor wouldn't change that.
