Actually I believe that you can edit a post ONLY within 5 minutes after writing it or by leaving the page open, meaning double post on this forum happens (unfortunately).

vaxx01: believe it or not, projections and attack/block are STILL low. With Introversion and only physical increase psychic powers you may choose to totally forfeit psychic projection, probably, but having low att/def and magic projection should still hurt.

rybras: did I ever mention I LOVE secondary abilities based characters? If I didn't please forgive me! Of course I like your character. I believe the specialist class of Sniper I made should work very fine with it, too. The only "fault" (on my view) is that I would not take vulnerability to poisons for an Assassin, because, using poisons (and very powerful ones) is one of the ways Assassins can really prove lethal in Anima (since they are pretty much "weak" in direct combat) and manipulating poisons if something ever went bad, a nasty GM might ask for a VR check. I'd rather use "Easily Possessed" (how often do enemies try to take control of you in your campaigns?) o vulnerability to Magic (this should actually hurt more). Anyway, overall i really like this character.

Anyway, this is the character with which I started the campaign I'm currently playing as a player (it now is level 4):

I've made far stronger builds, but none is as fun-play as this one.

he is primarily a spell caster so up close combat is not a major thing, that being said with his possible intitive bonus say hegoes first and cast death shield at max which gives him 3000 LP of protection, on top of that you add that a large part of his offensive spells will heal him in the process them if he were to swich over to regenerate all he really has to do is seperate himself from combat for a minute or so then between his regen level and his ki abilities he will recover extremely quickly. and in attack or defense his ability to basically double boost any of his physical advantages will help make up for his short falls. Especially when you count the fact that psychically he cant fail the projection roles.

vaxx01 said:

I'll assume you can reach these high initiative rolls consistently because I can't seem to find your psychic potential. Working off of your 60 MA and assuming you are spending 5 fatigue points to cast your shield in one turn at highest possible (1400 LP shield), you would have to defend with your 50 projection roll. Your average level 1 Bandit from the core book is already 20 points up and has a decent chance of bypassing your shield and damaging you.

vaxx01 said:

Necromancy's spells are pretty zeon-heavy, putting heavy strain on your zeon pool. Especially if you cast your shield at maximum level on the first turn, leaving you with only 235 zeon points. Your spells still have to hit the target if you want to drain any life. That can be a little bit difficult with 50 projection or 25 attack compared to (using the default bandit again) an enemy with 60 dodge. Not too difficult, but the enemy has the advantage.

vaxx01 said:

Once again, I assume you can manage to boost your psychic powers that high without fumbling and falling unconscious. Separating yourself from combat is pretty difficult in the first place unless you can cause surprise or something. Staying out of combat for a minute would mean that on your return you would more than likely fine the combat resolved. This may be good or bad, depending on how well the rest of your party can fare without you.

Also you must realize that escaping combat is not always an option. What if the reason for the combat is that the enemy is blocking the exit? Or maybe you are trapped on the deck of a ship with no where to escape but overboard.

vaxx01 said:

He can boost any of his stats only once (unless he already cast his Necromancy shield at highest level using fatigue) without suffering large penalties due to fatigue. Boosting his stats to the maximum only puts him at 100ish which is decent but not really enough of a boost to cause major damage. And unless all of his enemies are eliminated in the first turn, he's going to be giving out a lot of free counterattacks with his abysmally low Attack. Even if he somehow had 20 in both AGI and DEX, that's only a +45 bonus which puts him at 70 attack and dodge.

Honestly, this character is only useful in a select few situations and judging from his secondary abilities, social situations is not one of them. I would recommend dropping one of the fighting styles (Ki, Magic, or Psychic) and changing to a mixed class like Wizard Mentalist or Warlock. Boost those projections and/or combat abilities or you will find yourself with a dead character the first time an enemy open rolls. Judging from your build, I think a Warrior Mentalist would be just fine once you take away Magic.

first the his psychic potential for willpower 9 is + 50, secondly the introvert mental patter adds + 40 on any power cast on my self, as well as the fact as long as it is cast on myself I AUTOMATICALLY HIT, so projection is not necessary … but if you have problems with that Idea look at my earlier post where I copied the introvert pattern from the Arcana Exxet book pg 101.

secondly I can double boost 1 from characterisctic augmentation from KI abilities, the abilities and powers of physical increase, example

my dex is a 9 + 10 bonus Char AUG give a + 3 = 12 with a + 20 bonus, Psychic increase at halve value for over 10 is a + 5 = 17 with a bonus of + 35 to my base and this principle can be repeated any of my physical characteristics.

third neccromantic shield at highest power is 1000 + 100 per 10 max int x 20 my int 10, so 10 x 20 = 200/ 10 = 20 x 100 = 2000 = 3000 pt shield and while my Magic Projection is not that high I have invested in my MA which is more than enough to cover 1 every 20(4).

vaxx01 said:

Okay. So on an average (about +50 from the dice) roll we can expect you to reach powers of Absurd Difficulty (including the extra increase from maintaining the power). This equates to a +60 init roll (not enough to cause surprise but you will probably act first) or +4 regen level (not enough to make a difference in combat or even +4 to Dexterity OR Agility (+2 to both if you split your power) for +10 to rolls from those fields. If projection is not necessary then why spend points on it?

vaxx01 said:

So on a good potential roll you get +35 to you base 25 Attack or Dodge for a total of 60 Attack or Dodge. 60 is what I consider the lowest one would want to go at level one because it would put you on just about even terms with another level one enemy.

vaxx01 said:

Actually your maximum shield would be at 2200 LP. The max INT includes the base cost of 80. To spend the full 200 zeon points on that (thus severely crippling your zeon pool and leaving you maybe two or three good spells for the rest of the day ) you would have to concentrate for 4 turns or 3 turns with some fatigue points spent. The 1 every 20 means that with the maximum spent on your shield, you will have 10 zeon points subtracted directly from your pool with no MA needed.

Magic Projection is your shield's defense roll. If the enemy rolls higher than you (which they probably will considering how low your projection is) then they will bypass the shield and damage you instead of it.

Your character uses his psychic abilities and fatigue points to put him on par with an average level one character. Using Magic, Ki, and Psychic powers all in conjunction with one another in Anima usually tends to cripple a character more than help them. Once again, I highly recommend dropping one of those three fields and focusing on just two. I personally don't have any problems with this character but you will have many if you plan on playing him in a game.

will the physical increase regen boost the regen level not the stat so it would be worth it, as far as projection went I though you had to have a projection just to have psychic ability sorry so that will open up more more points to put in the areas I came up short on.

you seem to keep forgeting that the KI aug can give me up toa 3 point boost in any physical stat, while I do agree that in a combat sense regen is not practicule say I shifted his his boosted KI to dex as well as his boosted MA then he could a dex augmented to a 12, then with Physican increase of say 5 he could pull up to 17, half for over 10. Now take into account that I did as you said and removed the psychic projection opening up 50 DP which I couls spend 20 on a PP for 1 burn into potential which would give a new total of + 100, then take the remainder into into magic projection up to 65.

in the long run, you would benefit more by buying both magical projection modules to tie them to your attack and defense scores

vaxx01: you can get your stats to 20…still your Att/Def value would augment only by 30, compared to any character with 10 on Dexterity. Now, if your base Att/Def/Proj is around 30 (as I remember reading on your sheet), it will get up to 60/65 or so. A level 1 fighter, who doesn't have the risk of relying on magic/psychic powers/ki, easily begins with 85 on both Att/Def, being at a 20/25 advantage over you. Besides characteristics augmentation is very costly for ki, how long do you think you can use it before it runs out? We're just suggesting you to focus the character either on Magic-Combat, Psychic-Combat (there is a very strong build for a Warrior Mentalist with Physical Augmentation and Introversion that I suggested to a friend a while ago) or Psychic-Magic (this is already harder to do, but still I believe a Wizard Mentalist can pull out some nice tricks and combos out of his/her hat).

maybe you can explain something to me, the character sheet says you add you dex to magic projection rolls which case, could boost with changed values boost his magic projection to 95, now with the rules that are in play he stay's freelancer only until his next level when he switches to wizard. Which then can be used to take him to his highest potential. that being said I looked at his base values by die roll average of 50, though out of 10 rolls i average 75 to 95. when all his bonuses are added together he stands about equal to the level 2 characters in the book. yes he has draw backs at the moment , especially in social skills, but he would be hurting there anyway with the introvert mental pattern…. let's face it he's not a talker. About my rolls and people think that it may not seem likely but for all you old time players you will understand this. I've had my dice for about 30 years and they like me. lol the new magic projection value at 65, psychic value at 100, if you allow for the total allowible bonuses dex 9, plus 3 from aug up 12, and the physical increase at 50 then placed in the innate slot level boost would give a + 4 halved for over 10 +2 =14 equals a bonus of + 25 so a magic projection of 90. like I said before he is not a close combat guy. Just a thought

P.S. my next design is based off the summoner/wizard type working the kinks out now, anyway I know that this system really limits you to specializing in 1 area of ability, yet the design here is to see if a multi-talented character can work, and how well.

about the cost versus maintenance the modified values on ki is dex 14 reserve, and an accumulation of 3 but at the boosted stat 4 char aug, then5 with physical increase the cost to maintain is only 1.

also about buying your path level, that comes out of your zeon right or from DP, or do you just get it based off your stat this is not very clear. We figure that path level cost is paid with permantent zeon,

this is the modified version of the character …

Background is currently up 12 pages, on Microsoft word, if you want read it send me a message.

Learning spells(buying paths) is all dependant on ML, which id tied to Intelligence or if you buy some 5 ml for 5 dp maximum 10% max DP, counting towards mystcal primary

if that's the case where it does not cost permant zeon then his goes up 365

ok i did alot of work here listening to what people said and using this and that to modify this character to it's best possible state, yes it still has flaws but alot of that has to do with the backstory and character flaws in general.

Comparison vrs other level two characters using average roll of 50
In the book it list examples of character creation, for level 2 character it does not list a value over 90
My magic projection is 100
My zeon is 415

His attack 90 + 50 = 140
My Necromantic Shield
Magic projection w/o char 150
Cost 280 zeon
Maintain 14 zeon
Shield value 3,000
Zeon left 135
Accumulation left is 6

He did not get through the projection so his damage goes to the shield

Next round

His attack still can’t get through

My action first physical increase from dex 9 to 12
My dex ki is 14
And have accumulation to cover maintentance

Second attack -25 penalty applies
Magic projection 120 ranged attack add dex bonus
Final bonus 95
So 145
Death beam base damage 80
Cost 60 zeon from 141

Round 3
first physical increase dex
My physic potential/ with introvert is 90
Total 140
Because of the introvert I don’t have to roll a projection I hit.
Placed in the innate slot it is boosted to 180 or absurd level
Dex 12 plus half for over 10 dex is now 14

Second attack -25 penalty applies
Magic projection 125 ranged attack add dex bonus
Final bonus 100
So 145
Death beam base damage 80
Cost 60 zeon from 87

Just an example not allowing for real dice rolls just using average values
Allowing for dice yes they can roll higher and lower, but so can I

This example is rushed and not very complete it just using values I’ve see in the book.

this is my final modification of this character, at this point he can stand as a character

ok something has been pointed out to me, if your max zeon doesn't count until you accumulate it; say my character doesn't have the 415 reserve at the start of battle, then this build becomes useless. And it also pretty much negates any praticle offensive spell caster class. If you cant use your Zeon until you accumulated it the why have a max and what is happening to your accumulation when not in battle does your max count not matter at that point. this doesn't make sense. If say a spell caster has a cap of 500 zeon people are telling me that his natual accumulation will not fill that cap when not being used for anything. It is like saying that you have a barrel of water that unless you turn on the tap will not fill regardless of the flow that is there. On top of that what kind of mystical character does not keep their reserves full, it's like going to the desert with out water.

Your Zeon is a pool, your Max Zeon is the Size of that Pool. Your Current Zeon is the water in that pool. Your Accumulation is the size of your bucket. It happens often that you don't have your max zeon in your pool because you cast spells. Don't firget that casting a spell empties your pool. And you can't have your zeon accumulated at all times. First of all there are visual effects for doin so. 2nd is if you stop accumulating for one turn, all your zeon goes back to your pool -5, and you can't keep accumulating above your current zeon

but like I said it pretty much renders a magic users all but useless, if their strongest weapon is unusable until after the fighter has killed them.

Also a fighter would be useless, if the wizard could cast all his strongest and deadliest spells in an instant.

And I don't know, if you have actually played a round, but this isn't a problem, if the wizard needs a bit of time, to cast a spell (same problem with Ki techniques, they aren't instantoues either). It would be a problem, if this powers (magic and ki) could be used without accumulation. An wizard, who could cast in the first round of a combat every spell he knows, as long as he has some zeon in his pool, could cast about 5 to 10 area attack spells, energy based, each with a base damage of 80 or more, with the initiative of an unarmed fighter, and the warrior could only make about 1 or 2 attacks per round, with a base damage around 60 to 110 (higher base damage would mean lower initiatve). This would I call "gamebreaking".

The wizard of my group had enough accumulation to cast a shield spell in the first around. After this, he started accumulating for "bigger" spells etc..

So long,

i think that, I finally understand the power be it KI or magic system and alot of the character concepts have to readjust, to allow for the power pools.

sorry for the aggravation, but now when I build characters I can make the necessary adjustment.

it think I got this figured out, to make sure I made adjustments to the troublesome character

The build looks ok as far as I can tell. I would be more apt to give more time to this had there been a background attached. It is one thing if you have the background in your head and can think to yourself "well Grimm has *this power* because of *this happening in their past*, but we, your readers do not have that advantage.
