Persona Creator Version 2.0

Oh hai let's do something different...

I'll be revamping the persona creator for the game's 1st Anniversary, and I figured that not only should I fix that up...but what if the players got to help us by creating spells, status and skillsets?

Have you ever wanted to create a spell that your personas could use? Well, this is your chance!

Enter, you, THE PLAYERS(™) Skills can be anything you want and if they are accepted, will be available for any Persona to create and use. It's a fun little thing that can enhance gaming experience to the next level.

COMBAT SKILLS
Combat skills focus on combat aspect of battle. This can be anything from elemental attacks to physical attacks, healing to status attacks. When you make them, make sure you mention the levels they would be available and their strength! Take a list of the current skills to give you an idea.

PASSIVE SKILLS
These are skills that help enhance a character such as status boosts, natural resistance to a spell and so on.

UNIQUE SKILLS FOR SUPPORT/INTEL PERSONA
These are skills only support/intel persona and their uses can employ. Examples include walking on water, analyzing enemy weaknesses, and so on.

STATUS
We have a list of the current ones and we'll be accepting two new ones, depending on what you all come up with.

So let's have some fun, and soon you may find your skills, statuses and ideas in the persona creator!

Antichthon from SMTIV is an Almighty spell that basically combines Megidolaon and Debilitate. Can we have that, or is it too overpowered?

That may be too powerful...for now. I want to keep the Almighty spells relatively rare and low key for now.

Yeah, I figured, I was just throwing it out there. Maybe we could have upgraded versions of those elemental punch spells? You know, Fulgur Punch and those other spells that are basically, like...Mazionga + Confuse? Could we get, like...stronger versions that are like Maziodyne + Confuse, too?

Gonna second a desire for some Max Elemental skills that mix it up a little with status effects!

Maybe stuff like

Fire Lvl Max, Slots 5-8 Only
Conflagration (Inflicts a severe amount of Fire damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Exhaustion)

Water Lvl Max, Slots 5-8 Only
Sharknado (Inflicts a severe amount of Water damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of turning into a sha

I mean uh

Ire of Charybdis (Inflicts a large amount of Water damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Down)

Wind Lvl Max, Slots 5-8 Only
Asphyxiate (Inflicts a severe amount of Wind damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Silence).

And so on. I can try my hand at writing more if necessary!

Oh man I like this.

Also I would not be against a Sharknado persona (so a shark with wind spells mostly)

Do you mean something like this? :V

OK so I was apparently a moron and read Walker's suggestion wrong but hey more spells aren't a bad thing aha...

So it looks like Walker was suggesting Multi Target upgrades and since Hell Flamethrower and the other Single Target Large Damage w/Status are Lvl 3+, Slots 5-8 only, maybe for Lvl Max, Slots 5-8, there could be choices of Multi Target Large Damage w/Status and Single Target Severe Damage w/Status?

So everything is going to be for Lvl Max, Slots 5-8. Feel free to change the names and statuses involved or scrap any bad ones...

Fire:
Conflagration (Inflicts a large amount of Fire damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Exhaustion)
Soul Immolate (Inflicts a severe amount of Fire damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Exhaustion)

Water:
Ire of Charybdis (Inflicts a large amount of Water damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Down)
Scyllan Tide (Inflicts a severe amount of Water damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Down)

Ice:
Absolute Zero (Inflicts a large amount of Ice damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Sleep)
Jotunn Caress (Inflicts a severe amount of Ice damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Sleep)

Earth:
Miasma (Inflicts a large amount of Earth damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Poison)
Gaean Corruption (Inflicts a severe amount of Earth damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Poison)

Lightning:
Fulminate (Inflicts a large amount of Lightning damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Confusion)
Dorje Vajra (Inflicts a severe amount of Lightning damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Confusion)

Wind:
Stagnant Breath (Inflicts a large amount of Wind damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Silence)
Asphyxiation (Inflicts a severe amount of Wind damage on one enemy with a 20% chance of Silence)

Light:
Searing Blessing (Inflicts a medium amount of Light damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Charm)

Dark:
Tenebrous Curse (Inflicts a medium amount of Dark damage on all enemies with a 20% chance of Beast)

TIME TO ADD MORE DEVIL SURVIVOR SKILLS:

Recarmloss: Revives fallen team members, fully restores team's HP, and cures all ailments, but reduces caster's HP to 1.

Piercing Hit: Inflicts moderate Physical damage on one enemy. Cannot be resisted, nulled, or absorbed.

Shield All: Blocks one non-Almighty attack for each team member.

Also, Auto Skills would be cool as hell.

And I feel like we should have an upgraded full-party version of Tetrakarn and Makarakarn as higher level options for Personas, too.

Seconding Auto Skills, because those things are cool.

From Strange Journey, I'd like to see skills like Fang Breaker that combine light physical damage with a debuff spell, as well.

Because I noticed there were a lot of gaps in the availability of various status ailments in the list of Physical skills once you separate them out by level, here are a whole bunch of new ones to fill in those holes:

RAGE:
Lv 2 - Coils of Madness (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage with a 10% chance of Rage on all enemies.)
Lv 3 - Berserker Fury (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage twice with a 20% chance of Rage on an enemy.)

PETRIFICATION:
Lv 1 - Stone Spear (Inflicts a small amount of Physical damage with a 10% of Petrification on one enemy.)
Lv 3 - Gorgon's Curse (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage twice with a 20% chance of Petrification on an enemy.)

FEAR:
Lv 3 - Touch of the Grave (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage twice with a 20% chance of Fear on an enemy.)

CHARM:
Lv 3 - Angel's Whisper (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage twice with a 20% chance of Charm on an enemy.)

EXHAUSTION:
Lv 3 - Enervate (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage twice with a 20% chance of Exhaustion on an enemy.)

SICK:
Lv 1 (slots 5-8 only) - Pandemic Bomb (Inflicts a medium amount of Physical damage with a 10% chance of Sick on all enemies.)
Lv 3 - Plague (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage twice with a 20% chance of Sick on an enemy.)

HAPPY:
Lv 2 - Dark Humor (Inflicts a medium amount of Physical damage with a 20% chance of Happy on one enemy.)
Lv 3 - Killing Joke (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage with a 20% chance of Happy on an enemy.)

SLEEP:
Lv 2 - Nightmare Strike (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage with a 10% chance of Sleep on all enemies.)

CONFUSION:
Lv 2 - Psychic Crush (Inflicts a medium amount of Physical damage with a 20% chance of Confusion on one enemy.)

ANIMAL:
Lv 1 (slots 5-8 only) - Rabid Bite (Inflicts a small amount of Physical damage up to three times with a 10% chance of Animal on one enemy.)
Lv 2 - Feral Slash (Inflcits a medium amount of Physical damage with a 20% chance of Animal on one enemy.)

For the Support/Intel Persona list:

1) I think Absorb Light and Absorb Dark should be added to the list of available max level skills.

2) Add a skill to LVL MAX under Unique - Mind that combines the effects of Life Wave and Aura Wave from the previous level. 'Recover a large amount of life and magic after battle. All allies.'

Edited 2013-08-28 15:34 (UTC)

The last round of DLC for SMTIV introed four new support abilities - Ice Pierce, Fire Pierce, Elec Pierce, and Force Pierce, which are basically Pierce but for elemental spells. Let's add those.

Also regular Pierce should be a thing.

I like the idea of pierce! Maybe if we keep it to the elemental ones with physical pierce, and allowing players to only have 1 or 2, it could be really fun and allow players facing off against certain foes at least a chance to be able to strike a hit instead of standing there. :|c

Plus, Pierce skills won't hit past Reflect, just Resist, Null, and Absorb, so they won't completely break the elemental thing.

But yeah, restrictions on them are probably a good idea.

Also: it'd be neat to have skills like Auto-Sukukaja and the like. Or, if you've played Strange Journey, something like Laplace Curse, which is Auto-Debilitate.

Given the ridiculous bullshit Rise pulls in Golden, it probably wouldn't be amiss to give Support Users something to let them cast Power Charge or Mind Charge on their allies. Just, you know...make it Level Max, and one or the other, not both. And maybe also single-target.

I would propose that all of these, if accepted, go into a new category under Unique - Negotiation.

Lvl 1+, Any Skill Slot
Trade (Negotiate with the enemy for an item they can normally drop, 50% success rate. Failure results in enemy attack.)
Fundraise (Negotiate with the enemy for money, 50% success rate. Failure results in enemy attack.)

Plead (Negotiate with the enemy for Media-level healing to make things sporting, 50% success rate. Failure results in enemy attack.)

Smooth Talker (Negotiation skills are 1.5 times more likely to succeed.)

Lvl 2+, Any Skill Slot

Negotiate+ (If Negotiate is successful, everyone is also healed for Media-level healing. Requires Negotiate.)
Plead+ (If Plead is successful, everyone is healed for Mediarama-level healing. Requires Plead.)

Lvl 3+, All Skill Slots

Since the above went together in a set, I thought I'd make a separate comment for miscellaneous stuff.

***I'd also like to note that as it is, the Support Skill list doesn't make much sense in terms of status ailment healing. Amrita recovers all allies from all ailments and is Lvl 3+, Any Skill Slot. At the same time, Avastha, Confinundi, and Puissanundi, which only recover a few ailments on one ally, are Lvl 3, Slots 5-8 Only. I propose moving Avastha, Confinundi, and Puissanundi into Lvl 2+, Any Skill Slot. Since the Me- Status Recoveries (Me Re Patra, Me Posumudi, etc.) are also Lvl 2+, Any Skill Slot, this makes sense because Avastha, Confinundi, and Puissanundi are Single Target and recover more ailments while the Me- spells are Multi Target and recover fewer ailments.

Seconding Wighty's comments about the status ailment healing spells. The placement of those never made sense to me.

Let's make Old a status effect

I mean we've seen it in boss fights before, so why not?

Oh man I like this idea. But how would it work on robots and creatures with long lifespans? Just give them the physical illusion of being old? (So sort of like a visual but mostly strength sapping spell, if that makes sense)

It gives them patches of rust that look like old man beards.

Ahahahaha that's terrible. EVEN THE GIRLS I HOPE.

...What about it makes robots start rusting? Or something like that.

Long-lifespan'd that sounds good for though

Is Paralysis as a thing too redundant with Sleep and Petrification? Maybe as a way to be more unique, it could be something like...

Sleep: Target falls asleep and must be awoken, either by a spell of a physical/element attack. The attack will do 50% more damage than normal.

Petrification: Target is turned into solid rock for a few rounds and is unable to move, but is immune to most spells. Breaking or damaging the target will also cause damage when they return to normal.

Paralysis: Target is paralyzed and cannot use Physical attacks. Spells can still be muttered with 50% efficacy.

Also gonna suggest a few from Soul Hackers:
Mark: Target is marked by the enemy. All attacks on the target have 100% accuracy; enemies will prefer to target the Mark when possible.

Bomb: Target is transformed into an explosive. If struck with a Fire attack, target will explode, damaging all allies and suffering instant KO.

Edited 2013-08-12 17:34 (UTC)

a status that makes the character sing, and depending on how good/bad/inbetween the singer is it can cause different effects.

and it must be called Gas Chamber ~~because Michel's life is suffering~~

Gonna throw in my two cents here too with two status ailments ganked from Super Mario RPG:

Mushroom: Target is transformed into a mushroom, and is unable to move, speak, or act. Physical affinity changed to Strong, regenerates a small amount of HP each round.

Scarecrow: Target is transformed into a scarecrow. Can use magic and defend, but not attack physically or use items.

Egg: Character is turned into an egg for 3 rounds (though they keep distinguishing marks). Eggs can attack but do not do much damage, and take a lot of damage in return. Also cured by leaving battle.

Throwin' in a couple from SMT4:

Brand is a status ailment that prevents healing - any Dia spell will only restore 1 HP.

Sick is one of the nasty ones: it basically drops all your stats by half, plus it's contagious - there's a chance at the end of each combat round that the rest of the party will become Sick as well.

That we didn't cover, feel free to talk about it here 83c

Okay so re: the Bestiary. Can we get someone to...I dunno, go over the tags, maybe fix a few things? There's more than a few tags on it that are completely borked and have been that way for months.

Also, what's the policy on official Megaten demons? Do we have to wait for a SMT4 character to be apped before a section can be added?
