    Default Re: High School Harem Comedy (Game System, PEACH)

    I'd really appreciate it if you felt like going through and doing a write-up like that!

    I can definitely see Dominant/Submissive working as universals. Give me a bit to read through all the suggestions here, and I'll start making some updates.

    For now:
    -Just As Planned is now a once/episode ability
    -Bruiser is now identical to Warrior's Way
    High School Harem Comedy, my original game system!

    “D-don’t get the wrong idea, Protagonist-kun! I’m not doing this because I l-like you or anything!”

    You have a prickly personality which conceals a secret lovey-dovey core. You deny your love for the protagonist whenever the subject comes up, but your luminescent blushing gives away your true feelings.

    Cold Shoulder: Acting hostile isn’t a mistake for you, it’s your strategy. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Allure roll as a success. Counts as the highest success possible if multiple levels are available.

    Gift Giver: “I just made too much, okay?!” +2 on Allure or Skill rolls involving making or giving a gift to the protagonist.

    Less is More: Just like the guiding principle of zettai ryouiki, the rarity of your tenderness makes it just as valuable as that of girls who always have it on display. Once per episode, instead of applying any other modifiers to a roll, you may use the highest modifier being applied to the same roll by another girl.

    Personality Flip: Your usual standoffish attitude makes your tender moments all the more memorable. Twice per episode, by showing your extreme tsun side and voluntarily taking a -2 on your roll in one scene, you may show your extreme dere side and take a +2 on your roll in a later scene.

    Verbal Barrage: “Urusai, urusai, urusai!” +2 on Conflict rolls involving verbal arguments.

    “Protagonist-kun belongs to me… I’ll kill anyone who interferes!”

    You have an unhealthy obsession with the protagonist and a disturbing lack of mercy for the other girls vying for his affection. You dream of nothing but being with him, and your empty-eyed stare might be the last thing your competitors ever see.

    Armed and Dangerous: You’re frighteningly good at improvising weapons from your surroundings. +1 on Conflict or Skill rolls when you have access to an improvised weapon (broken bottles, baseball bats, folding chairs, et cetera) and +2 on Conflict or Skill rolls when you have access to a particularly scary weapon (butcher knives, axes, chainsaws, et cetera).

    Knife Nut: (folded into Armed and Dangerous)

    Murderous Love: Your dangerously obsessive devotion is your charm. Twice per episode, you can substitute a Conflict roll for an Allure roll.

    Stalker: You’ll never let him out of your sight. +2 on Luck rolls involving gaining exclusive access to the protagonist.


    Terrifying Presence: Looking into your psychotic eyes is downright terrifying. +2 on Conflict rolls involving intimidation or fright.

    Kuudere (Seemingly Stoic Girl)
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Oh… nice to see you, Protagonist-kun.”

    You have a cold, pragmatic exterior which only rarely lets your true, tender feelings shine through. Staying in control of your emotions and keeping a cool head may be a useful trait in dealing with your competitors, but you might just end up showing your true colors to your beloved protagonist…

    Deep Freeze: Retreating into your shell helps you concentrate and act ruthlessly, although it can be a bit off-putting. Once per episode, you may use this ability to take +2 on Conflict and Skill rolls and -2 on Allure and Luck rolls for the next three rolls. This ability cannot be used during the duration of Thaw Out.

    Poker Face: No one can really read your expression, since it rarely changes much in the first place. +2 on rolls involving telling lies. However, nobody likes a liar, so if you are caught telling lies, -2 or the next 3 scenes.

    Stay Cool: You don’t let fatigue or outside interference get in the way when a tough decision needs to be made. Twice per episode, you may nullify all negative modifiers on a roll, including the modifiers of deep freeze or your weak stat. This ability cannot be used during the duration of Thaw Out.


    Thaw Out: Sometimes you just need to drop your cold exterior to make your true feelings known, even if it flusters you a bit. Once per episode, you may use this ability to take +2 on Allure and Luck rolls and -2 on Conflict and Skill rolls for the next three rolls. This ability cannot be used during the duration of Deep Freeze.

    “Ya-hoooo~! Coming through, Protagonist-kun!”

    You have a cheery disposition and more energy than a sugared-up hummingbird. You’re both hyper and assertive, and your willingness to literally bowl the protagonist over with your enthusiasm is your signature strength.

    Butt In: It’s hard to keep you out of somewhere you really want to be. +2 on luck rolls directly affecting the protagonist.

    Hypercharged: You’ve got the energy of two people crammed into one body. Twice per episode, in a scene where there are multiple options to choose from, you can take two options at once. You take both rolls and get the results of both options. If both options lead to the same goal, you take the better of the two results.

    Morning Person: You jump out of bed with boundless energy while others are still groggily waking up. +2 on Allure rolls in the AM. This affects a minimum of the first 3 scenes of an episode.

    Overclock: You can summon up even more energy than normal at times, but you tend to burn out afterwards. Twice per episode, you can take +2 on any roll, but you take -2 on the next roll you make. You cannot use Overclock on the roll penalized by your first use of it. You may use Hypercharged and Overclock in the same scene; doing so allows you to make both rolls at +2, requires both uses of Overclock, and imposes -4 on your roll in the next scene. Whew!

    “Eeek! Ah, d-don’t mind me, Protagonist-kun…”

    You have a shy, withdrawn personality and an adorable timidity. You’re not the type to openly chase the protagonist down, but your vulnerable appeal may very well draw him to you instead.

    Quiet Patience: You understand the value of waiting quietly in the wings for just the right chance to act. Twice per episode, you gain 2 VP if you failed to get VP in the last two scenes. This occurs automatically.

    Scaredy-Cat: You instinctively cling to the protagonist when you get frightened. +2 on Allure rolls whenever Conflict is also an option, or if the scene itself is reasonably scary.

    Shrinking Shadow: You’re so meek and quiet that people sometimes seem to forget that you’re even in the room. +2 on Skills rolls involving sneaking or stealth.

    Vulnerable: You have a tendency to get in trouble, but the protagonist always rushes to your aid. +2 on Luck rolls involving ending up in peril.

    “Hey, Protagonist-kun. You ever wonder what it would be like to have pincers like a beetle?”

    You’re a bit of an oddball with a penchant for thinking of things that no normal person ever would. It’s a little unclear sometimes if you really understand what’s going on here, but you certainly seem to like the protagonist a lot nonetheless.

    Huh? What?: You weren’t really paying attention to whatever just happened, so you’ll just keep doing what you were before. Once per episode, you may apply whatever advantages you applied to the previous roll to your current roll regardless of context or roll type. Abilities with limited usage cannot be replicated in this way.

    Non Sequitur: Nobody seems that surprised when you do something entirely irrelevant to the matter at hand. Twice per episode, you may voluntarily take a -1 penalty on a roll of any type and use one of the other three roll types in its place.

    Odd Affinity: “Odd” is a word that describes you pretty well. Twice per episode, you may choose to make an Odd Roll, which doubles the value of your die roll if the rolled number is odd (i.e. the possible results are 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, and 10). Cannot be used with Foresight, Big Gamble, or Graceful/Practiced Grace. If Taking you with me is used against Odd, it works normally, but Odd still doubles the 1 to a 2.

    Zone Out: It’s hard to hold a coherent argument against you or faze you with anything whenever your head starts drifting off into the clouds. +2 on Conflict rolls involving verbal altercations, fright, or intimidation

    “There’s nothing quite like a little harmless skinship, is there, Protagonist-kun~?”

    You have a love of all things inappropriately touchy-feely in addition to a penchant for excited nosebleeds. You somehow ended up with the protagonist occupying the number one spot in your fantasies, so now it’s time to demonstrate your ‘bad touch’ to him and the other girls alike!

    Panty Thief: Your experience with underwear thievery has honed your sneaking skills. +2 on Skill rolls involving stealth or burglary.

    Pantsu!: You have a sixth sense when it comes to finding people in the middle of changing. +2 on Luck rolls where you might conceivably see someone's underwear...or better, or they might see yours. Also includes situations where the protagonist might find himself with his face in your cleavage, or between your legs.

    Shameless: Your casual attitude towards erotic situations gives you the confidence to flaunt what you've got. +2 on Allure rolls involving nudity or extremely revealing clothing.

    Wandering Hands: Your finely-tuned groping technique is more than enough to unsettle any foe. +2 on opposed Conflict rolls.

    Half-Foreign

    “Guten Morgen, Protagonist-kun!”

    You have a touch of the exotic about you thanks to your mother or father of foreign blood. You’re just arriving here after a long time living overseas, but your quirky sprinklings of foreign phrases and your unusual mannerisms will help you stand out to the protagonist among the other girls.

    Colorful Cursing: Your incomprehensible yet funny-sounding tirades of swearing makes you seem cute even when you’re furious. Whenever you lose an opposed Conflict roll, you gain +2 on your next Allure roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

    Culture Enthusiast: You light up whenever you participate in all these quaint cultural customs that seem fresh and new to you. +2 on Allure, Luck, and Skill rolls while taking part in unfamiliar cultural activities.

    Kanji Illiterate: It’s pretty hard for you to read signs on doors since you never learned how to read kanji! +2 on Luck rolls involving mistakes or accidents resulting from your inability to read kanji.

    Quaint Greeting: "Ohayou, ohayou, bonjour!" Your sprinklings of foreign expressions in your greetings makes running into you more memorable. If the first roll you make after a change in setting is an Allure or Luck roll, you take a +2 on that roll.

    Stand Out: Maybe it's blond hair or maybe it's blue eyes, but your foreign blood definitely gives you an eyecatching apperance. +2 on opposed Allure rolls

    Bokukko (Tomboy)
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Yo, Protagonist-kun! Wanna go catch a movie with me (boku) after this?”

    You have a striking habit of referring to yourself with masculine pronouns. Your speech is a bit rougher and more masculine than the other girls, and you very well might have the tomboyish personality to go along with it. You’re tired of being seen as “one of the guys,” so it’s time to show the protagonist the charm of your feminine side, too!

    Boyish Charm: You naturally look good in men’s clothes, though there’s also a certain appeal to seeing you dressed up femininely as a rare change now and then. +2 on Allure rolls while wearing an outfit that could be described as “masculine” or "really feminine."

    Down and Dirty: Like any good tomboy, you don’t hesitate to get back up after you get scuffed up a bit playing around. Twice per episode, you may take a modifier on any roll equal to the margin by which you failed your previous roll.

    Now It's On: Nothing gets you worked up like losing to some frilly, feminine girl, and you can really kick some tail when you're in the mood. Whenever you lose an opposed Allure roll, you gain +2 on your next Conflict or Skill roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

    One of the Guys: Your tomboyish temperament and masculine style of speech make you seem more approachable to the protagonist at times, especially when the storm of jealous women that is his life starts to wear him down. +1 on Allure and Luck rolls when the protagonist could be described as “stressed out by love” and +2 on Allure and Luck rolls when the protagonist could be described as “exhausted by love.”

    “Ara~! You say the store was closed, Protagonist-kun? I suppose I’ll have to buy it out and reopen it.”

    You have expensive tastes and a background in wealthy, high-class society. You have more money than is strictly reasonable, and you’re convinced that you have the sophisticated charm to win the one thing you desire that money can’t buy: the protagonist’s heart.

    Classy Lady: You’re well educated and practiced in high culture. +2 on Skill rolls involving classy activities such as ballroom dancing, high fashion, proper etiquette, et cetera. Also applies to dates or meeting parents.

    Dazzling Display: You can disorient the other girls by flashing them more riches than they’ll ever see again in their lives. Twice per episode, you can force any other girls attempting a roll in the same scene to roll twice and take the lower result. "Contingency Plan" nullifies this effect if used in the same scene.

    Graceful: You’re far too dignified to suffer embarrassing slip-ups and random mistakes. Twice per episode, before the roll is made, you may substitute a value of 4 for any d6 roll. All affects that attempt to alter the 4 fail. In addition, no negative modifiers (not even weak roll) may be applied to the roll for which a 4 is substituted.

    Hired Muscle: You've got some tough-looking professionals in black suits trailing behind you, just itching for the chance to earn their (considerable) pay by pouncing on any thug who looks at you funny. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Conflict roll as a success. Counts as the highest success possible.

    Renaissance Lady: Why solve things like a commoner when you have so many elegant options at your disposal? +1 on Skill rolls if you had the option of using another roll type instead.

    School Queen: Your sense of style and daily arrival in a limousine makes you a goddess to the guys of the student body at large. +2 on rolls involving NPC students other than the protagonist. Does not function against adults.

    Osananajimi (Childhood Friend)

    “Protagonist-kun, you made a promise to me back when we were kids… that we’d get married when we grew up.”

    You have a long history with the protagonist extending back to childhood. He might have forgotten his promise to you, but you haven’t. You’ve watched him from a distance nearly all your life, and now it’s time to make your move.

    Big Gamble: You worry that these new girls will steal the protagonist away from you if you don’t claim him quickly, so you’re willing to take all-or-nothing action. Twice per episode, you can choose to make any roll a Big Gamble, in which a result of 1-3 is counted as a 1 and a result of 4-6 is counted as a 6. Not effective with Graceful/Practiced Grace or Foresight. Taking you with me has no effect on the gamble.

    Nostalgic Memories: You and the protagonist still have warm memories of growing up together, just the two of you. +2 on unopposed rolls that none of the other girls are attempting.

    Old Friends: You have less romantic distance to cover since you already know the protagonist well. You begin every episode with a small sum of extra VP determined by the GM.

    Playful Blackmail: You know all the dirt on what the protagonist was like growing up, and you’re not afraid to share some juicy stories. +2 on Allure rolls involving influencing the protagonist’s decision-making.

    Simpler Times: Seeing you brings the protagonist back to his childhood and clears his mind of your competitors’ shameful charms. Once per episode, you can nullify all modifiers and abilities applied by the other girls to an opposed Allure roll. Abilities nullified by this advantage are not counted as expended. This does not nullify your own abilities.

    “Oof! I fell on something soft… EHH?! Protagonist-kun?!”

    You have an endearing tendency to clumsily mess up everything you try. You stammer out blushing apologies on a regular basis and always try your best, though your knack for tripping on thin air might help you literally close the distance between you and the protagonist.

    Accident-Prone: You just can’t help but trip and fall in embarrassing positions. +2 on Luck rolls involving stumbles, falls, and accidents.

    Easily Forgiven: It’s hard to get frustrated with you despite the mistakes you made. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Skill roll as a success. Counts as the highest success possible.

    Lovable Klutz: Your ineptitude only adds to your charm. If you lose an opposed Skill roll or fail an unopposed Skill roll, +2 on your next Allure roll. This ability cannot be stacked with itself; if you fail two Skills rolls and then make an Allure roll, the bonus remains at +2 and an additional use does not carry over.

    Taking You With Me: You might not do it intentionally, but your stumbles can send you crashing right into your rivals’ way. Twice per episode, when you and at least one other girl are attempting the same opposed or unopposed roll, you may force one of the other girls to use the result of your die roll in place of theirs if yours is lower. You may voluntarily take a 1 on this roll. If used vs. contingency plan, it only affects one of the two rolls. Not effective against big gamble, foresight, or graceful/practiced grace.

    “You’re quite fascinating, Protagonist-kun… my heart races whenever I study you.”

    You have a quiet, glasses-girl appeal that’s matched only by your clever intellect. You may not be as loud or outgoing as the other girls vying for the protagonist, but you have a keen eye for observation and planning that will serve you well against them.

    Contingency Plan: You always keep an extra option up your sleeve in case something randomly goes wrong with Plan A. Twice per episode, before making a roll, you may roll twice and take the higher result. You continue to roll twice and take the higher if this is used vs. Dazzling Display. This ability is effective with Odd, Foresight, and Big Gamble.

    Foresight: When you’re able to correctly guess the results of your own actions, you can capitalize even on the worst of situations. Twice per episode, when making a roll, you may guess whether the result of your d6 will be even or odd. If you guess correctly, the result is counted as a 6 if you pick odds, or 7 if you pick even. Not effective with graceful/practiced grace, or odd. Taking you with me doesn't function against Foresight.

    Honor Student: You’re intelligent and naturally talented at schoolwork. +2 on Skill rolls involving Intelligence.

    Just As Planned: You have a knack for elaborate scheming. Once per episode, before an opposed roll involving you and at least two other girls is made, you may secretly inform the GM who your target is. You take their roll if it is the highest roll (no draws), and their roll becomes a 0. You keep your own roll in addition if it is beneficial to do so.

    Cacophany: Twice per episode, -2 to all skill rolls except yours. (like Misfortune)

    Unnerving: All skill rolls done in your presence force other girls to take a -1. (Like Warding Talisman)

    Unusual Insight: Once per ep, auto succeed on unopposed rolls. Counts as highest success possible (As Heir to the Dojo)

    Bruiser: You’re adept at physical fights, whether this is through strength, skill, mercilessness, or some combination thereof. +2 on Conflict rolls involving physical conflict.

Your authority and reliability, whether real or alleged, will be useful as you pursue the protagonist through the halls – without running!

    Connections: You have a good reputation with the teachers and staff around the school, and you project an aura of reliability that any higher-ups can respect. +2 on rolls involving teachers or other authority figures. Does not function against other students.

    You’re an enthusiastic leader in your school’s newspaper club, and you have a real knack for scoring the interviews and scoops that will get the student body talking. You’ve lately found yourself constantly wanting to interview the protagonist at length about his feelings for you, so it’s time for a little investigative journalism!

    “Yo, Protagonist-kun! You’ll be at my meet next weekend, right?”

    You have talent and passion for a sport of some kind and an indomitable sense of dedication to practice and training. You’re almost always the victor at the end of your matches, but now that you’ve fallen in love with the protagonist, will you be able to emerge victorious in love as well?

    Athletic: Your relentless training regimen gives you a leg up in all kinds of physical pursuits. +1 on Skill rolls involving physical exertion. This bonus increases to +2 in any activity involved in your sport of choice.

    Competitive Spirit: You have the driving will to rise above the rest in any endeavor. +2 on rolls being attempted by all the girls simultaneously.

    Second Wind: No matter how hard you get knocked down, you have the will to get back up and stay in the game. Twice per episode, you may take a modifier on any roll equal to the margin by which you failed your previous roll.

    Self Improvement: If there's something you've learned from your training, it's that any failing or weakness can be corrected with hard work and determination, and your strengths get stronger. You no longer have a weak roll, and abilities that target weak rolls no longer affect you. In addition, your strong roll is increased by +1.

    Martial Artist

    "HI-YAH! ... Y-your defense is pretty solid, Protagonist-kun."

    You have a passionate dedication to traditional martial arts, whether that be karate, kendo, judo, or something else, and you may even be the next master in line of a family tradition. Training and discipline has always been a way of life for you, but you've found yourself having some distracting thoughts about a certain guy lately... It's time to make a move and lay your competition flat, but you'll make sure to respectfully bow first.

    Gorgeous Gi: There's something stunning about the sight of your well-toned body in your training uniform. +2 on Allure rolls while wearing martial arts uniforms or equipment. Also applies to military fatigues or medieval armor.

    Heir to the Dojo: All the regulars back at the dojo just love to dote on the master's daughter, even if it means intruding a bit on her love life. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed roll as a success if having other people assist you would be helpful. Counts as the highest success possible.

    Practiced Kata: Your tough training has refined your combat style into an art form. Twice per episode, you may substitute a Skill roll for a Conflict roll.

    Could you put edits in red or some other color? Also, in don't quite understand meditation. And I think the nerd to school queen might be a bit much, maybe make it only count when primarily dealing with student who are not the protagonist or the other girls, but let it get victory points? Sorry if I seem critical, those just stood out. It looks good overall

    Many things are now bolded if I changed it or added it.

    All find the plot advantages have been revamped into something better.

    Most +1s to rolls have become +2s. Narrow advantages have been broadened.

    I couldn't figure out how to broaden the reading and writing advantages of Novelist and head journalist.

    All 'affects NPCs' advantages are now denied VP.

    Poker Face nerfed to have nasty side effects if you got caught lying. (cause lying really isn't good for a healthy relationship...)

    I think the flat bonuses with no stipulations should still only be +1, due to how widely applicable they are.

    Also, how is a social services outfit religious garb?

    I can take that out, I was just trying to broaden things as much as possible. It's no worse then a wicca outfit, certainly. Taika

    Which bonuses do you think should be knocked back to 1?

    Wicca is a religion.

    Any that grant a flat bonus to an attribute, as well as any that give a bonus to it when there is an option for something else. Discipline, Concentration, Violence is Always the answer, etc. Oherwise they are just so much better than the others. Even broadly applicable ones (like Maiden's Garb) can be negated by something like a beach episode.

    Universal Update:

    Spoiler: Universal
    Show
    These advantages can be chosen by any girl, regardless of archetype.

    Yamato Nadeshiko: +2 on rolls involving cooking, cleaning, housework of any kind, child care, and other typical 'mom' activities.

    Natural Swimmer: You've spent more time than most in the water, and you've got the skills and the beach body to show for it. +2 on Allure rolls while in swimwear, and +2 on Skill rolls involving swimming.

    Outdoorswoman: You've got a passion for some combination of camping, hiking, and hunting. +2 on Skill rolls involving outdoorsy activities and survivalism.

    Splash Magnet: You've got an unfortunate arrangement with fate to make your life a neverending series of suggestive spills and splashes. +2 on Luck rolls involving getting wet.

    Stargazer: You know the night sky like the back of your hand, and you've written way too many poems and song lyrics about the Summer Triangle. +2 on Skill rolls involving astronomy, and +2 on Allure rolls under the night sky.

    Sweet Tooth: You have a love for cute, feminine snacks and a highly questionable way of eating lollipops. +2 on Skill rolls involving making or buying sweets, and twice per episode, +2 to allure rolls that involve you eating sweets in a sensual way.

    Dominant: Your closet is full of leather and whips. +2 on rolls where you ask or order the protagonist to do something, or when you are in a position of authority. -2 when asked or ordered to do something, or when you must submit to authority, including teachers. Mutually exclusive with Submissive.

    Submissive: Your closet is full of blindfolds and handcuffs. +2 on rolls where you are asked or ordered to do something, or when you must submit to authority, including teachers. -2 on rolls where you ask or order the protagonist to do something, or are in a position of authority. Mutually exclusive with Dominant.

    Notes: Natural Swimmer and Sweet Tooth were way too weak. Good Cook upgraded to include more stuff.

    I'd suggesting removing that.

    Leans a bit too heavily on religion for my case.

    Hrm. I'd like to request from our benevolent overlords a slight buff to vampires. So far, the number of times the abilities have come up, especially compared to the other girls, seems...Lackluster. Basically, it feels like you're much weaker for the first half of an episode, and then on-par with the other girls once night falls. And gods know it's really, really hard to get Sanguine kiss to come up unless you've specced hard into Conflict, in which case why are you taking vampire? There are far better options.

    Piety is meant to replace 'shrine caretaker' as a more general bonus. If you've got a better name, I'm all for it. The point is, the girl who walks by faith (in whatever religion she has, be it shinto, christianity, islam, whatever) gets a skill bonus when she's being ethical.

    Renamed and refluffed:

    Pure Spirit: Doing good deeds makes you efficient. +2 on Skill rolls involving any ethical activity. (not stealing, lying, or anything else the GM deems 'ethically questionable'.)

    Don't worry, Gwen, I'm going to be buffing all the supernaturals significantly.

    Okay so I was doing this at work, I am overdue to clock out and I need to post this or it might get delayed indefinitely. So here is a very rough draft of a 'bare basics what could be done to fix some issues post that will definitely need to be refined'. I'll look over the other suggestions made when I get home.

    Alright, so as said here's a list of what I feel would be the some of the most minor changes you could make to the game without any extensive rewrites or changing of existing advantages (except for a few outliers). Here's the mission statement for these suggestions:

    -All archetypes should have the same number of advantages. Since taking stuff away always feels bad, we're instead adding things so everyone has six.
    -'Find The Plot' abilities need to be reworked.
    -Archetypes that are specialists should all have at least one ability to help avoid losing rolls automatically for their ability not being there.
    -Archetypes should be either tier one or close to it - in other words have some flats and some specials.
    -It's okay for some abilities to be niche or even weak as long as the archetype as a whole is up to snuff.
    -Things as they are are pretty damn awesome. Sweeping changes are a no.

    A brief note: I suck. Most of the advantages I'm suggesting are pretty awful. These are more placeholders that show the sort of advantage that would fit well in that slot more than serious suggestions, though some are better than others.

    with that in mind let's begin! I'm just copy/pasting the whole list here, but the changes are in bold.

    Archetype List
    Tsundere

    Spoiler
    Show
    “D-don’t get the wrong idea, Protagonist-kun! I’m not doing this because I l-like you or anything!”

    You have a prickly personality which conceals a secret lovey-dovey core. You deny your love for the protagonist whenever the subject comes up, but your luminescent blushing gives away your true feelings.

    Cold Shoulder: Acting hostile isn’t a mistake for you, it’s your strategy. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Allure roll as a success.

    Gift Giver: “I just made too much, okay?!” +2 on Allure or Skill rolls involving making or giving a gift to the protagonist.

    Less is More: Just like the guiding principle of zettai ryouiki, the rarity of your tenderness makes it just as valuable as that of girls who always have it on display. Once per episode, instead of applying any other modifiers to a roll, you may use the highest modifier being applied to the same roll by another girl.

    Personality Flip: Your usual standoffish attitude makes your tender moments all the more memorable. Twice per episode, by showing your extreme tsun side and voluntarily taking a -2 on your roll in one scene, you may show your extreme dere side and take a +2 on your roll in a later scene.

    Verbal Barrage: “Urusai, urusai, urusai!” +2 on Conflict rolls involving verbal arguments.

    Pocket Hammer: PROTAGANIST-KUN!! Twice per episode you may pull a weapon out of nowhere, giving you a +2 bonus to Conflict for that scene. This object can trigger other advantages.

    Yandere (Obsessive Lover)
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Protagonist-kun belongs to me… I’ll kill anyone who interferes!”

    You have an unhealthy obsession with the protagonist and a disturbing lack of mercy for the other girls vying for his affection. You dream of nothing but being with him, and your empty-eyed stare might be the last thing your competitors ever see.

    Armed and Dangerous: You’re frighteningly good at improvising weapons from your surroundings. +1 on Conflict rolls when you have access to an improvised weapon (broken bottles, baseball bats, folding chairs, et cetera) and +2 on Conflict rolls when you have access to a particularly scary weapon (butcher knives, axes, chainsaws, et cetera).

    Knife Nut: Wielding blades is second nature to you. +2 on Skill rolls involving sharp edges (e.g. dicing vegetables, trimming plants, cutting out decorations).

    Murderous Love: Your dangerously obsessive devotion is your charm. Twice per episode, you can substitute a Conflict roll for an Allure roll.

    Stalker: You’ll never let him out of your sight. +2 on Luck rolls involving running into the protagonist in a startling place (e.g. in his room when he wakes up in the morning, right behind in the photography club’s dark room). You also get +2 on Skill rolls involved in tracking down or following someone.

    Terrifying Presence: Looking into your psychotic eyes is downright terrifying. +2 on Conflict rolls involving intimidation or fright.

    Revenge Killing: You have no reservations cutting up a girl who crosses you. Twice per episode when you lose a roll, you may give every girl who won that roll a -2 penalty to the next scene.

    Kuudere (Seemingly Stoic Girl)
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Oh… nice to see you, Protagonist-kun.”

    You have a cold, pragmatic exterior which only rarely lets your true, tender feelings shine through. Staying in control of your emotions and keeping a cool head may be a useful trait in dealing with your competitors, but you might just end up showing your true colors to your beloved protagonist…

    Deep Freeze: Retreating into your shell helps you concentrate and act ruthlessly, although it can be a bit off-putting. Once per episode, you may use this ability to take +2 on Conflict and Skill rolls and -2 on Allure and Luck rolls for the next three rolls. This ability cannot be used during the duration of Thaw Out.

    Poker Face: No one can really read your expression, since it rarely changes much in the first place. +2 on rolls involving telling lies.

    Stay Cool: You don’t let fatigue or outside interference get in the way when a tough decision needs to be made. Twice per episode, you may nullify all negative modifiers on a roll. This ability cannot be used during the duration of Thaw Out.

    Thaw Out: Sometimes you just need to drop your cold exterior to make your true feelings known, even if it flusters you a bit. Once per episode, you may use this ability to take +2 on Allure and Luck rolls and -2 on Conflict and Skill rolls for the next three rolls. This ability cannot be used during the duration of Deep Freeze or Thaw Out.

    Shifting Snow: You're so quiet that no-one is surprised when you show off a skill you've never talked about before. Three times per episode, you can choose a different strong and weak roll for the remainder of the episode.

    Cold Front: Somehow your stoic nature just drains all the life from the room. Twice per episode you may incur a -2 penalty to all rolls for that scene, including your own.



    Genki (Energetic Girl)
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Ya-hoooo~! Coming through, Protagonist-kun!”

    You have a cheery disposition and more energy than a sugared-up hummingbird. You’re both hyper and assertive, and your willingness to literally bowl the protagonist over with your enthusiasm is your signature strength.

    Butt In: You tend to cut people off and interrupt them in your excitement. You gain a +2 bonus to Conflict and Luck rolls to interrupt someone.

    Hypercharged: You’ve got the energy of two people crammed into one body. Twice per episode, in a scene where there are multiple options to choose from, you can take two options at once. You take -2 on both rolls and get the results of both options. If both options lead to the same goal, you take the better of the two results.

    Morning Person: You jump out of bed with boundless energy while others are still groggily waking up. +2 on Allure rolls before .

    Overclock: You can summon up even more energy than normal at times, but you tend to burn out afterwards. Twice per episode, you can take +2 on any roll, but you take -2 on the next roll you make. You cannot use Overclock on the roll penalized by your first use of it. You may use Hypercharged and Overclock in the same scene; doing so allows you to make both rolls at no penalty, requires both uses of Overclock, and imposes -4 on your roll in the next scene. Whew!

    Rush Rush Rush!: You're always in a hurry to get things done as quickly as possible. Love is no exception! Three times per episode you may roll before anyone else declares their abilities or rolls. You gain a +1 bonus to this roll. In addition since you went before the others you are not effected by any penalties they inflict, and cannot be targetted by effects such as Shadow Out of Time or Just as Planned.

    Caged Bird: With how quickly you run about there's something adorable about you when you're stuck pouting in one place. You recive a +2 bonus on Allure rolls when in a situation where you cannot move freely or leave, and a +2 bonus to Skill rolls to escape such a situation.


    Shrinking Violet
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Eeek! Ah, d-don’t mind me, Protagonist-kun…”

    You have a shy, withdrawn personality and an adorable timidity. You’re not the type to openly chase the protagonist down, but your vulnerable appeal may very well draw him to you instead.

    Quiet Patience: You understand the value of waiting quietly in the wings for just the right chance to act. Whenever you fail a roll, you gain a +1 bonus to your next roll.

    Scaredy-Cat: You instinctively cling to the protagonist when you get frightened. Twice per episode, by voluntarily taking a 1 on your d6 on any Conflict roll, you may take a 6 on your d6 on your next Allure roll.

    Shrinking Shadow: You’re so meek and quiet that people sometimes seem to forget that you’re even in the room. +2 on Skills rolls involving sneaking or stealth.

    Vulnerable: You have a tendency to get in trouble, but the protagonist always rushes to your aid. +2 on Luck rolls involving ending up in peril.

    D-don't Hurt Me!: Somehow whenever another girl would cause you trouble things go good for you and bad for them. Twice per episode, you may substitute a Luck roll for a Conflict roll.

    Cute Stutter: You have an adorable stutter that triggers whenevr you're nervous or upset. Whenever you lose an opposed Conflict roll, you gain +2 on your next Allure roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

    Cuckoolander

    Show
    “Hey, Protagonist-kun. You ever wonder what it would be like to have pincers like a beetle?”

    You’re a bit of an oddball with a penchant for thinking of things that no normal person ever would. It’s a little unclear sometimes if you really understand what’s going on here, but you certainly seem to like the protagonist a lot nonetheless.

    Huh? What?: You weren’t really paying attention to whatever just happened, so you’ll just keep doing what you were before. Once per episode, you may apply whatever advantages you applied to the previous roll to your current roll regardless of context or roll type. Abilities with limited usage cannot be replicated in this way.

    Non Sequitur: Nobody seems that surprised when you do something entirely irrelevant to the matter at hand. Twice per episode you may treat the scene as being any you want for the purpose of applying relevant bonuses from advantages. You still must apply these advantages to the relevant types of rolls, and cannot make a roll of a type you couldn't normally for that scene.

    Odd Affinity: “Odd” is a word that describes you pretty well. Twice per episode, you may choose to make an Odd Roll, which doubles the value of your die roll if the rolled number is odd (i.e. the possible results are 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, and 10).

    Zone Out: It’s hard to hold a coherent argument against you or faze you with anything whenever your head starts drifting off into the clouds. +2 on Conflict rolls involving verbal altercations, fright, or intimidation by other people.

    Idiot Savant: You're absurdly smart in one area of expertise and a complete dunce in all others. You recive a +1 bonus to your strong ability and an additional -1 penalty to your others.

    Crazy Town: Sometimes your craziness just seems to leak out of your ears, crawl up through everyone else's nose and lay eggs in their brains. Delicious, delicious eggs. Once per episode, you may nullify all advantages of the other girls for one scene and force them to attempt the same roll as you with the same advantages as you.

    Show
    “There’s nothing quite like a little harmless skinship, is there, Protagonist-kun~?”

    You have a love of all things inappropriately touchy-feely in addition to a penchant for excited nosebleeds. You somehow ended up with the protagonist occupying the number one spot in your fantasies, so now it’s time to demonstrate your ‘bad touch’ to him and the other girls alike!

    Panty Thief: Your experience with underwear thievery has honed your sneaking skills. +2 on Skill rolls involving stealth or burglary.

    Peeping Tom: You have a sixth sense when it comes to finding people in the middle of changing. +2 on rolls involving peeping or walking in on embarrassing situations, and to create such situations to begin with.

    Shameless: Your casual attitude towards erotic situations gives you the confidence to flaunt what you've got. +2 on Allure rolls involving nudity or extremely revealing clothing.

    Femine Whiles: You have a special effect on those of the opposite geneder. You gain a +2 bonus to rolls when dealing with NPCs other than the protagnist who are attracted to women.

    Cover in Cleavage: It's hard for the protagonist to pay attention to the batting eyes and light flirtations of the other girls when his head is buried in your chest. Any other girls who attempt the same Allure roll as you take a -1 on their roll.

    "But Senseiiiiiii <3": You can get others to do your hard work for you just by popping a few buttons. Twice per episode, you may substitute an Allure roll for a Skill roll.

    Half-Foreign
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Guten Morgen, Protagonist-kun!”

    You have a touch of the exotic about you thanks to your mother or father of foreign blood. You’re just arriving here after a long time living overseas, but your quirky sprinklings of foreign phrases and your unusual mannerisms will help you stand out to the protagonist among the other girls.

    Colorful Cursing: Your incomprehensible yet funny-sounding tirades of swearing makes you seem cute even when you’re furious. Whenever you lose an opposed Conflict roll, you gain +2 on your next Allure roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

    Culture Enthusiast: You light up whenever you participate in all these quaint cultural customs that seem fresh and new to you. +2 on Allure, Luck, and Skill rolls while taking part in unfamiliar cultural activities.

    Kanji Illiterate: It’s pretty hard for you to read signs on doors since you never learned how to read kanji! +2 on Luck rolls involving mistakes or accidents resulting from your inability to read kanji.

    Stand Out: Maybe it's blond hair or maybe it's blue eyes, but your foreign blood definitely gives you an eyecatching apperance. +1 on opposed Allure rolls.

    Culture Shock: Your insights to the unsual nature of your current country can sometimes catch others off guard. Three times per episode you may attempt an additional D4 Allure roll. If you succeed, you gain a +2 bonus to your next Skill or Luck roll.

    “Yo, Protagonist-kun! Wanna go catch a movie with me (boku) after this?”

    You have a striking habit of referring to yourself with masculine pronouns. Your speech is a bit rougher and more masculine than the other girls, and you very well might have the tomboyish personality to go along with it. You’re tired of being seen as “one of the guys,” so it’s time to show the protagonist the charm of your feminine side, too!

    Boyish Charm: You naturally look good in men’s clothes, though there’s also a certain appeal to seeing you dressed up femininely as a rare change now and then. +1 on Allure rolls while wearing an outfit that could be described as “masculine” or "really feminine."

    Down and Dirty: Like any good tomboy, you don’t hesitate to get back up after you get scuffed up a bit playing around. Twice per episode, you may take a modifier on any roll equal to the margin by which you failed your previous roll.

    Now It's On: Nothing gets you worked up like losing to some frilly, feminine girl, and you can really kick some tail when you're in the mood. Whenever you lose an opposed Allure roll, you gain +2 on your next Conflict or Skill roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

    One of the Guys: Your tomboyish temperament and masculine style of speech make you seem more approachable to the protagonist at times, especially when the storm of jealous women that is his life starts to wear him down. [b]+2 on Allure and Luck rolls when the protagonist could be described as “stressed out by love”[b].

    Vulnerability: When you fail at something you try hard at you take it badly. Whenever you lose an opposed Conflict roll, you gain +2 on your next Allure or Luck roll. This ability does not stack with itself to provide any bonuses larger than +2.

    “Ara~! You say the store was closed, Protagonist-kun? I suppose I’ll have to buy it out and reopen it.”

    You have expensive tastes and a background in wealthy, high-class society. You have more money than is strictly reasonable, and you’re convinced that you have the sophisticated charm to win the one thing you desire that money can’t buy: the protagonist’s heart.

    Classy Lady: You’re well educated and practiced in high culture. +2 on Skill rolls involving classy activities such as ballroom dancing, high fashion, proper etiquette, et cetera.

    Dazzling Display: You can disorient the other girls by flashing them more riches than they’ll ever see again in their lives. Twice per episode, you can force any other girls attempting a roll in the same scene to roll twice and take the lower result. "Contingency Plan" nullifies this effect if used in the same scene.

    Graceful: You’re far too dignified to suffer embarrassing slip-ups and random mistakes. Twice per episode before rolling the dice, you may substitute a value of 4 instead of rolling.

    Hired Muscle: You've got some tough-looking professionals in black suits trailing behind you, just itching for the chance to earn their (considerable) pay by pouncing on any thug who looks at you funny. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Conflict roll as a success.

    Big Gamble: You worry that these new girls will steal the protagonist away from you if you don’t claim him quickly, so you’re willing to take all-or-nothing action.

    Easily Forgiven: It’s hard to get frustrated with you despite the mistakes you made. Once per episode, you may treat a failed unopposed Skill roll as a success.

    Lovable Klutz: Your ineptitude only adds to your charm. If you lose an opposed Skill roll or fail an unopposed Skill roll, +2 on your next Allure roll. This ability cannot be stacked with itself; if you fail two Skills rolls and then make an Allure roll, the bonus remains at +2 and an additional use does not carry over.

    Taking You With Me: You might not do it intentionally, but your stumbles can send you crashing right into your rivals’ way. Twice per episode, when you and at least one other girl are attempting the same opposed or unopposed roll, you may force one of the other girls to use the result of your die roll in place of theirs if yours is lower.

    Contingency Plan: You always keep an extra option up your sleeve in case something randomly goes wrong with Plan A. Twice per episode, when making a roll, you may roll twice and take the higher result.

    Foresight: When you’re able to correctly guess the results of your own actions, you can capitalize even on the worst of situations. Twice per episode, when making a roll, you may guess whether the result of your d6 will be even or odd. If you guess correctly, the result is counted as a 6.

    Honor Student: You’re intelligent and naturally talented at schoolwork. +2 on Skill rolls involving logic, puzzles, or academics.

    Just As Planned: You have a knack for elaborate scheming. Once per episode, before an opposed roll involving you and at least two other girls is made, you may secretly inform the GM who you think will win the roll. If your guess is correct, your ridiculously contrived plan succeeds, and you win the roll instead.

    Glasses Glare: Somehow when the light bounces off of your glasses it's just unsettling. +2 on Conflict rolls made in scene where glasses glare is a possibility.

    Go Go Magic Transformation!: You have a secret idenity as a powerful sorceress or magical girl! Supposedly. Once per episode you gain the benefits of any other advantage in the game. If this advantage has a limited use, it is considered to have no uses left.

    Universal Monstrous Advantages
    Spoiler
    Show
    The following list of advantages is available to all players in a supernatural game, to either create their own breed of monster from scratch or tweak one of the full archetypes below. All advantage choices from this list are subject to the GM approving them as reasonably fitting the concept of the monster girl.

    Elemental Affinity: You're fundamentally disposed toward an element, whether that's fire, water, air, earth, void, metal, or wood. No elements in the periodic table may be chosen. Choose an element and two of the four rolls; you receive +3 on those two rolls in activities closely associated with your chosen element.

    Solar Powered: Whether it's photosynthesis or photoelectric cells, being in the sunlight just perks you right up. Choose one of the four rolls; you receive +3 on those rolls while in sunlight, but a -1 on the same rolls at night or in darkness. Vampires may not take this ability.

    Touchy Spot: Let it suffice to say that your biology includes a bit of an inconvenient erogenous zone. Choose a body part; you receive +3 on Allure rolls and -2 on Skill rolls in scenes in which that part is touched.

    Celestial

    “Love is truly the greatest blessing, Protagonist-kun.”

    You are a blessed being from on high, whether that be an angel or a goddess. Your love for the protagonist is pure as the driven snow, and you will pursue him with all the warmth and compassion befitting a benevolent angel.

    White Magic: Among your holy powers is magical healing, along with other benevolent effects. +2 on rolls that magically aid or help another being, and +3 on rolls that physically or emotionally heal another being. White Magic negates and is negated by the power of Black Magic when used in the same scene.

    Compassion: You believe in peace, not conflict, and seeing others find happiness warms your heart greatly. Twice per episode, you may give +3 on another girl’s roll. If she receives VP as a result, you receive a VP bonus equal to half of what your target received, rounding up.

    Purity: Your heavenly presence is not as marred and ridden with imperfections as many of your competitors. You no longer have a weak roll, and abilities that target weak rolls no longer affect you. In addition, your strong roll is increased by +2.

    Serenity: Your rise above the dirty tricks and fighting of your competitors to attain a peaceful state of enlightenment. +2 on non-Conflict rolls if you had the option of making a Conflict roll instead.

    Demon

    “I want all of you, Protagonist-kun... your body and your soul.”

    You are a fiendish being of the Underworld, an accursed servant of the lords of Hell. You’re no stranger to the sin of lust, and you have plenty of temptations to dangle before the protagonist to draw him into your dark, loving embrace.

    Faustian Pact: You can grant devilish gifts to your competitors, knowing all the while that the cost for a demon’s services is always greater than it first appears. Twice per episode, you may give +3 on another girl’s roll. On the next roll in which both you and your target participate, she takes -3 on her roll and you gain +3 on yours.

    Black Magic: +2 on rolls that involve harming another being. Your destructive power may take any element you like, and your bonus rises to +3 when you hit an elemental with their opposing element. Black Magic counters and is countered by White Magic in any scene both are used.

    Speak of the Devil: They say that calling your name will cause you to appear, but when it comes to your beloved, you’re always ready to show up. +3 on Luck rolls if your name was spoken by ANYBODY in the last scene. (If other players start referring to you as 'she who must not be named', that is intentional.)

    Temptation: Your charms are the perfect tool for drawing the protagonist into your grasp, assuming you don’t put him off in the process. Twice per episode, you may take +3 on an unopposed Allure roll. If you are successful, you also take +2 on your next roll. If you fail, you take -4 on your next roll.

    Torment: All that time punishing sinners has really taught you how to use people’s least favorite things against them. You inflict an additional -2 penalty on any girls using their weak roll (not including yourself).

    A Thousand Faces: You can manifest yourself as any number of unspeakable forms and avatars of enormous power while on this world, although most of them aren’t pretty. Twice per episode, by voluntarily taking a 1 on your d6 on any Allure roll, you may take a 6 on your d6 on your next non-Allure roll.

    Crawling Chaos: You giggle with delight and thrive on the discord and conflict your competitors sow in their ruthless attempts to win the protagonist’s heart. +3 on rolls in any scene in which at least two other girls make Conflict rolls.

    Shadow out of Time: A judicious bit of body-swapping and mental projection lets you send your competitors down the paths of your choosing. Once per episode, in a scene where multiple rolls are available to choose between, you may dictate which rolls all of the other girls must choose. Their respective players may still decide which advantages to apply to the chosen rolls.

    Shining Trapezohedron: As the protagonist gazes into this artifact, your power increases exponentially. You may auto succeed at any unopposed roll once per ep.

    Vampire
    Spoiler
    Show
    “Your scent is ever so delicious, Protagonist-kun… I don’t know if I can restrain myself any longer.”

    You are an elegant creature of the night, typically centuries old, with a sinister beauty and a taste for human blood, but the protagonist has somehow become something more to you than an inviting meal. Your dark powers will be all you need to raise a glass of your competitors’ blood and make a toast to long life and happiness for you and your beloved.

    Elegant Fiend: You have an air of class and sophistication that sets you apart from just any old monster. +3 on Skill rolls involving classy activities such as ballroom dancing, high fashion, proper etiquette, et cetera. Also helps with dates and meeting parents.

    Lady of Darkness: Your true beauty can only manifest itself away from the irritating rays of the sun. +3 to any roll of your choice at night or in darkness, but a -1 on the same roll in sunlight or other bright light.

    Sanguine Kiss: You bite people, you're a vampire. If you choose to bite the protagonist, you gain a +3 on an allure roll due to the ecstasy of the Kiss, but a -2 on the next roll as he's drained of blood. If you choose to bite a competitor, you gain a +3 on your conflict roll, and they take a -2 to their next roll as they are drained of blood.

    Vampiric Drain: You grow strong from the life force of your defeated rivals. Whenever you get the highest result on an opposed roll involving at least two other girls, you gain +3 on your next roll. Vampiric Drain cannot be used on consecutive opposed rolls. There must be at least one scene between uses (no feedback loops)

    Catgirl
    Spoiler
    Show
    "Come on, Protagonist-kun! Let's play nyaaow!"

    Nyaa~! You're an adorable mix of girl and feline, with the cute little ears, fangs, and tail to show for it. You've found the lap that you'd like to curl up on for the rest of your life, and absolutely nothing is going to stand between a cat and a warm, comfortable place. Everyone had better be careful, because you aren't declawed!

    Animal Affinity: You're a little bit animal yourself, so working with normal animals comes naturally to you. +2 on Luck and Skill rolls involving animals. This bonus increases to +3 when dealing with cats.

    Cat Nap: You're always up for a little shut-eye, and you look amazingly cute all curled up. +3 on Allure rolls while asleep.

    Catlike Reflexes: All that chasing the laser dot has really limbered you up. +3 on Skill rolls involving feats of agility or speed.

    Hiss!: Arching your back is a little awkward, but you still look plenty mean when you get really angry. You may take +3 on any Conflict roll, but doing so imposes a -3 penalty on your next Allure roll.

    Nine Lives: You have a knack for getting out of the stickiest situations without a scratch. Once per episode, auto succeed at any unopposed conflict roll.


    More archetypes coming soon!
    Supernatural archetypes, new and improved! Because Supernaturals are just plain stronger then normal archetypes, most of their bonuses are +3 where normal people get +2 and +2 where normal people get +1. Mere mortals are no match for Celestials, Vampires, Demons, and EAs. Or even Catgirls.

    Well, I figure if they'd started that way, you would've made the decision to run a supernatural game...or not...based on knowing full well supernatural archetypes are just better then normal ones.

    True, but then I either need to copy and paste the old versions (For when you level up)

    Or we need to discuss something about it, since Alex and Katherine are humans.

    That's easy. Just let Katherine and Alex respec. Maybe Gwen bites Alex and she becomes a vampire. Or Alex reads the wrong eldritch book and gets possessed by a demon spirit as a teenager. And I'm pretty sure Katherine wanted to be a catgirl, but they weren't invented yet at the time.

    Also, that doesn't really fix the issue I was talking about...In fact, it exacerbates it. The problem with Vampire, specifically, is that for a decent part of the game, it is near-impossible to finagle your skills into scenes as they're pretty specific and strict about when they're usable, as opposed to some of the other ones, especially especially Sanguine Kiss, which is near-unusable at the early stages of the game, and depending on who screws what up, might be a completely useless skill if the Protagonist doesn't want to kiss people for some reason. In general, it feels like a trap option, or a least a less-than-useful one, as it really feels like it relies on late-game power, somewhat unusual circumstances, and GM giving you night scenes to actually be competitive with the other girls.

    That's possible but relies on both players agreeing for the first.

    The second is impossible

    The third, I think was considered, discarded, and does nothing to help me keep continuity.

    Want me to take a stab at it. I'm not opposed to tweaking it, just making it desired to be stronger then normals.

    My version of Sanguine kiss doesn't require you to ASK the protagonist. You just do it if pleases you. Remember, Vampires are predators, and there's no VP loss for not asking. Similarly, you certainly wouldn't ask your competitors if you could blood drain them and weaken their next roll. Seriously, when was the last time you heard Dracula...or even typical buffy evil vampires...ask permission? They don't. It's just 'chomp.'

    I amped Vampirc Drain a lot. It should see easy use, considering you can stack it with Sanguine Kiss (conflict version) for some lethal bites and drains for the next roll.

    I forgot to give elegant fiend the expanded use buff I gave to the Oujo's, I'll toss that in.

    Lady of the Night and Solar Powered are now mirror images of each other, and more flexible in which attribute you boost.

    I acknowledge that supernatural archetypes are supposed to be better than normal ones to an extent, but this feels rather... blunt. Previously the supernatural archetypes were better because of special abilities and reliable but flavorful flats. Just upping the numbers doesn't see like a good idea.

    Well, there's such a thing as a 'catgirl virus' in some anime. They're not all natural born. Or maybe it's like werecreatures, and they can pass it on. That's for Katherine, of course. For Alex with a demon spirit...perhaps it was sleeping inside her all this time, helping her fight, without ever granting its full powers till now.

    Also, Anubis, let's see your version of the supernaturals.

    But perhaps before that, we should take my version of the full mundane list and yours and work out the differences to make something cohesive we can present to Rainy. Collaborative project, and all that.

    I'd kind of rather like to keep them separate since they do separate things. Mine is intended as 'this is the quick and dirty way to do things, nerfing nothing and buffing only the most extreme outliers. Also everyone has six advantages now'. Yours is a much more balance focused patch.

    That said, what's with the huge nerf to all the general rolls? Don't VP rolls comprise 19/20 rolls you're going to see in any given game?

    That's also never been established. Then again no one's a catgirl so it hasn't come out.

    For Alex, the demon spirit will absolutely not work out.

    I did that because I believed the +2 to NPC rolls was never meant to be indirectly used on the protagonist. +2 to influence the teacher for connected, +2 to influence the jock for school queen, but the protagonist was immune to such. Power over NPCs is meant to be exclusively that.

    Perhaps I overdid the nerf though. Maybe 'only functions if Protagonist is not present.'

    Yeah, half-demon Alex is a no. Plus it would have INSANELY bad connotations considering she's the only Muslim in the group

    As for the flats, they work as intended. They trade being easier to trigger for being applicable to any roll. School Queen only works in school, Poker Face only works in a social situation where lieing is possible, and Connections only works on authority figures. That's slightly more restrictive then 'wearing a boyish jacket' or 'makes a Luck roll' so it makes up for it by being more flexible. Granted they're still all awesome, but being awesome isn't really a bad thing.
