Like sand through an hourglass, so to are the stars of our destiny?

No really, the number of characters here is entirely coincidental!

Ask 'em here, that way we don't miss 'em!

Oh pick me pick me!

Since Paprika got picked I want to ask if she would get an accommodation for a more physical body on the battle field, courtesy of some shifting? I asked on the draft post but didn't get answered, so I want to make sure before I accept or decline, since I noticed it said Bil might not be around to help as usual.

[lucetimods]

We can make it happen, some way or another. Although honestly, one has to wonder why Paprika would want that. Now she'll be fleshy and killable.

[byakkoyagirl]

Well she wouldn't be able to communicate with other people that can't see her, other than in the tunnels where all that magical stuff gets powered down.

And she would feel bad if she left people without council. lets face it half of luceti needs therapy.

Would Mia and Piers be able to request a few more of their djinn just during the draft? Not asking for the 9 they could potentially have at their canon points, but a few more could be a big help.

Reason why I ask is that their class, stats, and abilities are very directly tied in to how many they have. Mia actually loses access to one of her best healing abilities unless she has 4 of them set.

[corrinesbell]

I second this question. Plus it would be a boost in overall power that they could really use - I'd ask for like, two more, three max.

Because Diamond Berg is awesome too.

The problem is essentially, Djinn are living creatures, so where would they get them from? What would the Malnosso do after the draft... euthanize them?

At best, they could potentially be simulated by a Shift or something.

[coolstempers]

I actually chatted with Vil on this and Chlor is also affected with Amiti in future drafts too, though haven't gotten if she's cool with these ideas. But have a few possible ideas that could work

[markofthewise]

It sounds like it would just be easier to go with Option 2. The Djinn, so far, don't seem like active presences like Pokemon or other 'pets', so there's probably no harm in that.

[coolstempers]

Nope, they really aren't even in canon, and that definitely is fair and lets our characters not be depowered even more than Luceti already does. Thanks Masa!

[adevotedoak]

I know you mentioned above that we can switch characters out and swap them around, but I'm wondering if we can do this with characters who weren't on the draft post to begin with?

Frau's name is up there, for example, but since putting his name there, I've dropped him. I'm thinking I might want to put one of my others in instead but I hadn't thrown their names up on the post yet. Would that be all right or should I put them into the queue and wait for next time?

Thanks!

Asked this about Sano, since I was in the same spot, and got an okay from Masa.

[adevotedoak]

Aha! Awesome, thank you :D

[consultmybooks]

Would the Malnosso be able/willing to temporarily suspend Giles' mallynap effect for the duration of the draft?

[markofthewise]

Mallynap effects are the kind of thing that are best to let play out normally, lest it get worse. Bil wouldn't suggest doing anything about it and the Malnosso won't particularly be bothered by it.

[consultmybooks]

All righty, good to know. I can work with this - thanks for getting back to me!
