At the moment, if hooked spear's effect would trigger after being pushed by let's say charged-strike Mad Chop, Repel or Hands of the Giant, they take the damage from the skill, but will turn with Danger sense and dodge the hooked spear's effect via snake dancer, and instead of being pushed back in a straight line from the skill used, they will fly off diagonally in a random direction.

From a rational standpoint, it doesn't make sense that if you're unhooking someone with your spear and they can somehow dodge it.

Can hooked spear's push-damage interact with snake dancer like a weapon's on-hit effects do?

The doors of an old Dojo find themselves opening once more, and word soon spreads across the world of the return of an old master of his trade...

Dig deep enough into the rumors, and it's pretty obvious that they are true. The Red Dragon Dojo, famed for its Cellsvich tournament some twenty years ago, and its ownership by the sizeable clan Dackamoto, speared by none other than Barrasuni Dackamoto.

Throughout the years, their art, the Red Dragon Style (AKA Dackamoto style) has spread throughout the world, having some quite famous practicioners come into public view. All of which descend from Sensei Dackamoto's original teachings.

Whether you know their history, the family of bandits, the family of warriors who gave everything for redemption. Or, whether you simply wish to better yourself, become one with your body and your art, it's safe to assume the dojo may be the place for you.


(The OOC bit)

So, I decided after retiring Barra a year ago, I wanted to try something with him.
With that, I've decided to bring him back solely to exist as a plot development point for characters who either want to further themselves ICly, and get a cool bit of IC for themselves (One of the people who know Red Dragon style), or want an actual build up to a shift in MA usage, rather than just change their build. What this means is, Old man Barra's return is entirely for the sake of helping other people do something fun with a character, while also allowing me to have some sort of homage to one of my oldest, and most well known characters, in that people using his own fighting style on an IC level.

If, for some reason, this is something you'd wanna do, you can contact me via Discord to arrange it.
If, for some reason, you decide to make a character who you want to already know the style, also contact me via discord. It's just IC fluff, and keeping me updated lets me keep track of my little OCD list of people I have.
If, for some reason, you decide you want to train someone else ICly, after having a character who knows the art, you're more than welcome to pass it on, I'd actually love to see that happen.

I can't believe I broke my own bet saying there wouldn't be any Balance Fu's, but this one is quite important.

At the moment, Ominas can't obtain misfortune if an enemy is at the maximum Luck Drain LV based on SAN. There's a synergy problem when one or more of those catbirds play together in a team.

They can't share properly their Unluck stacking and their gameplay comes to a halt once the enemy caps at the lowest SAN Omina's passive, promptly griefing the rest of the other Ominas' gimmicks.

There is solid counterplay attached to it already. I think denying their racials because of this oversight is not really fair, so, can this be changed so Omina can keep obtaining Unluck through Fortune Vacuum even if the enemy is at maximum Luck Drain LV (but not increase Luck Drain LV, just Unluck) for the sake of being able to use their racials?

---

Secondarily. Can the Fortune Vacuum's icon be changed to the flame soul wisp? The current one is quite... uncanny.

Lupines are inferior to their Felidae counter parts.
Thats something many agree on.
1.) One of the main arguments is how The instincts of the Felidae are Arguably better than the Instinct of the Lupine.

Str, Wil, Def, Res for the Lupine
Ski, Cel, Luc, Guile for the Feliade

Both good but the fact that they count to the maximum limit of stats boosts you can have quickly reduce the effectiveness of both (Str and Will buffs are universally more common aswell from items and skills. Making it much sooner not even apply the full bonus and making building San less desireable.) if they happen to use any other buffs. With a 40 San build both gain 10 in each stat, which is already half of the maximum you can have. I'd argue that both could need their instincts be adjusted to work like Vampires stats, and not count to the maximum 20 points of buffable stats you can have, as its technically racial stats.
However Felidae is universally more useful with their stats as almost every build needs Ski or Luc, while Str and Wil can be missing entirely and Def/Res are at a certain thereshold only "Nice to have" and a rather minimal boost.


2.)
What makes Felidaes however undiniably better is Fleetfoot. Movements is an insanely powerful as a stat. War cry absolutely pales in comparision. Not only does War Cry cost a valuable skill pool slot (Make it a trait instead and not cost a skill pool slot). Its effects are underwhelming and still costs 10FP even with 40 San (it costs 50-Scaled San FP, which also makes it unuseable for new players.)
The level of hunted in can maximally apply is less than bloody palm does passively for dealing magic damage. That alone makes it super unattactive but it also needs an infliciton check so you have to actively build for it, for a minimal effect and minimal damage. Over all? Warcry is in an insanely bad position and can't hold its candle to the what the Felidaes get.

While instincts are just arguably better and kinda depend on their user, their secondary skill is without a doubt better for Felidaes....So I was thinking to maybe give the Lupines something that seems to fit their offensive and long living nature more...

Could they maybe get instead something that increases their armor and magic armor, in the same way the instincts raise stats? (1+10% San at 50% HP and doubles at 25%)
This would give them a little edge again and make them a bit more tanky.


3.) The Prayer for the Lupines also lost a bit of it's appeal now that it's buffed physical resisatnce got lowered to effectively just 2% instead of 5% and War Cry is still terrible even with it. So could the Lupine part of the trait maybe increase the Lupines Instinct level or if we get the added Armor/Magic Armor added, increase that instead? I think this would lift Lupines up a bit again to make them able to compete with their counter parts again.


Bonus: Grimalkins should get their own instinct, which is like Felidaes just that they get Wil instead of guile.

Presently it appears that Riagri is summoning all bonded youkai onto a single tile with just level 1 charge weapon Excel Crash despite the description of the Excel Crash stating that it has to be a valid battle tile.

To replicate, simply have more than one bonded youkai and use excel crash Riagri with an applicable casting tool. The youkai should all be stacked upon each other when summoned.

When using any skill that performs a basic attack, attacks seem to do one less damage (up to 2 less damage if crit % damage is taken into account) than an otherwise identical basic attack action. An example is shown below, where a Prinny is hit with a basic attack and then Pinball Strike from identical positions with the same weapon:

You can't mute a campfire's crackling sound effect with preferences.

While the sound effect is nice and dandy during the first 10 minutes... God if it doesn't get taxing in the ears after 1 hour or so of CRACKCRACKCRACKCRACK chewing your eardrums.



Furthermore, if the owner of a camp disconnects, their camp will be erased, but the campfire's sound effect will continue tormenting the player forever until they relog.
