ネバーウィンターの勇者伝説~Concepts of something already existent [Mk XII]

It's a bit of a double whammy atm. I'm down with a minor flu and a legitimate case of depression. Okay, I admit the latter part isn't that bad. I'm still quite sane, just that certain things about humanity will never change.

Note: Above statement was done in like... erm... actually I don't know when I typed this part...


Guess maybe that's why the world of Berserk resonates well with me despite my understanding being restricted to the series wiki. Not to mention Guts' personality as well. Hopefully, I can restart my engine for A Requiem From Winter Past.

Fashionista, Connoisseur, or both?
At this point of time I'm typing this, my mum decided to break character. She's not one to enjoy shows like Star Awards 2017. But still... well, you get the drift. Because I got nothing better to do, might as well I play the fashionista. After all, I'm already a "proven" connoisseur unlike (?) 90% of my fellow S'poreans. Don't believe me on the connoisseur part?

This is proof that you don't have to be a Chouder to be a connoisseur. No offense to my super mignonne stickwoman.


The A-dudes
Zhang Zhen Huan
My comment: Being the first on the stage, he basically set down the glass ceiling. His tuxedo exuded an air of class and confidence. Funnily enough, pretty much most of the guys seemed to play it safe by wearing the similar black-and-white style.

Shane Pow
My comment: I don't know who designed that guy's power black-and-white style, but that designer deserved a round of applause from yours truly. On one hand, it's a daring choice. On the other end, it's so daring that the chance of hitting a backfire is too damn high. The outcome? Fortune may not favour the foolhardy, but fortune surely favours the bold.

Lee Teng
My comment: If Shane Pow broke the glass ceiling through the sheer power of fashion derring-do, Lee Teng broke the same glass ceiling with class. His all-white getup was nothing short of a white knight to Zhang Zhen Huan's Le Chevalier Noir (I'd liken Shane's getup to a swashbuckler instead of a knight).

Pornsak
My comment: Like Lee Teng, Pornsak broke the glass ceiling with class. Unlike Lee Teng's Le Chevalier Blanc style, Pornsak's suit is more of a cream colour. Like Lee Teng, Pornsak was definitely guilty of oozing class in a manner different from the rest.

Desmond Ng
My comment: If you think Shane Pow is the only son of a gun when it comes to wearing the daring, think again. Desmond Ng basically replicated... well, I won't say Shane's style. The jacket was far less daring than Shane's bling, but the presence of shiny sequins on the sleeves made him stood out from the rest. In a way different from Shane's power style, no less.

The A-babes
Rebecca Lim
My comment: Nothing flashy. Sometimes, simplicity works. At least for Rebecca, that is. Come to think of it, I find her nickname to be the Mother Of All Ironies.

Jesseca Liu
My comment: In a local drama entitled The Queen, she's the... well, queen. Like Becks above, it's a case of simplicity made good. Pretty sure my super mignonne stickwoman would agree with me since she's both a woman and her fan.

Felicia Chin
My comment: Only one name comes to mind. Scarlett Johansson. Her hairdo really reminds me of the most famous Jew in showbiz (read: Scarlett Johansson, not some British four-by-two). Even without the prominent frontal curves, she still looked good in her dress. And yes, her dress really looked good.

Chris Tong
My comment: Getting into the top 10 is a shocker. It's like seeing my beloved Middlesbrough making that Geordie Shearer eat his words (read: pulling off the Great Escape). Then again, if Chris can do it, why can't Boro? Her dress looked nothing short of being elegant. Elegant in black no less. Interestingly enough, I see her and Jesseca Liu as the two ice queen icons.

Sora Ma
My comment: I have to say she's a wee cut below the above four. But still, the dress was decent enough. Compared to the rest, that is. In fact, it could have been better if the dress was a dark coloured one. Maybe black, dark blue, or maroon

Note: No JAV jokes on Sora Ma, please. I'm not going to up the relevant links fyi. It's bad enough that I ran afoul of pr0n during my years of hormonal idiocy. Thankfully, I never ended up like Brock Turner. That'd be extremely terrible given that my family is too damn poor and my education level too damn low.

List of ranger feats (class feats and heroic feats)
Okay. End of my pointless cock and bull talk. Let's continue.

The progression table listed for every class (note that Mk XI has already done the progression table for ranger class) includes some of the class feats on top of other information. However, heroic feats were not included for a good reason. To gain access to heroic feats, one must reach level 40.

Unlike class feats, heroic feats do have certain requirements respectively. Feats will always activate without cooldown or usage of action points. Also, any class feat listed on the progression table is automatically given even without the requirements.

Class feats unlocked via character progression:
[Unlocked at level 1]
Woodland Stride-Suffers no movement penalty when in any forest terrain.

Favored Enemy-Select any one enemy type. During combat, you automatically gain +2 base attack bonus against any target of that enemy type.
List of favored enemy types: Natural (e.g. plants and animals), Non-living (e.g. constructs and undead), Elemental (e.g. fey and elemental creatures), Humanoid (e.g. drow, goblins, orcs, and humans), Outsider (e.g. aberrations, yeth hounds, and howlers), Immortal (e.g. devils and demons).

Wild Empathy-Whenever an animal is within 10 feet away, you can try taming that animal to be your companion by pressing L1/L2/R1/R2. A question mark will appear above every animal within the area of effect. Chance of success ranges anywhere from 10% to 90%.

[Unlocked at level 4]
Endurance-Duration for any damage over time against you is halved.

Improved Archery Style-Gains Manyshot feat without the need for requirements. Manyshot gives you a 20% chances to fire more than one arrow in an attack. Number of arrows fired this way depends on your Dexterity (one additional arrow fired for every 4 points of Dexterity above 12). Number of arrows fired this way cannot go below two.

Improved Two Weapon Fighting Style-Gains Improved Two Weapon Fighting feat without the need for requirements. Improved Two Weapon Fighting gives a 20%  chance of attacking automatically with any off-hand weapon.

Improved Favored Enemy-During combat, you automatically gain +4 base attack bonus against any target belonging to your favored enemy type. Refer to Favored Enemy for a list of favored enemy types.

[Unlocked at level 8]
Evasion-Whenever you roll a successful Reflex save against any area attack, you take no damage instead of half damage.

Improved Wild Empathy-Increase the maximum range for your Wild Empathy feat to 15 feet. Any animal within 10 feet will have an increased chance of success from 15% to 40%.

[Unlocked at level 12]
Archery Style Mastery-Gains Precise Shot feat without the need for requirements. Precise Shot allows you to fire any ranged or thrown weapon at melee range without any penalty to hit. In addition, Precise Shot reduces the penalty to hit against any target behind cover by 50%.

Two Weapon Fighting Style Mastery-Gains Greater Two Weapon Fighting feat without the need for requirements. Greater Two Weapon Fighting gives a 30% chance of attacking automatically with any off-hand weapon. Whenever a critical hit is done by the main-hand weapon, damage inflicted by the off-hand weapon is increased by 15%.

Wild Empathy Mastery-Increase the maximum range for your Wild Empathy feat to 20 feet. Any animal within 10 feet will have an increased chance of success from 30% to 90%.

[Unlocked at level 16]
Favored Enemy Mastery-During combat, you automatically gain +6 base attack bonus against any target belonging to your favored enemy type. Refer to Favored Enemy for a list of favored enemy types.

[Unlocked at level 20]
Camouflage-Whenever you stay near any forest cover without moving, you will automatically trigger a successful Stealth skill check even if you do not have this skill. If you attack any enemy in this way, the Stealth status will be removed. If you have the Stealth skill, you can attack target enemy twice instead of just once this way.

Hide in Plain Sight-Whenever you stay near more than 2 friendly characters, you automatically trigger a successful Stealth skill check even if you do not have this skill. After this effect is triggered, there will be a fixed 50% chance of failure. If you have the Stealth skill, chance of failure will be reduced to 30%.

Total Recall?

Above vid can only mean one thing. And that is I may need to do a total recall on certain aspects of my planning. For now, it's the feats unavailable via the progression table. To make things easier for others (not to mention making life easier for me since my daily job doesn't involve my talent in any way or form), I decided to streamline the whole damn thing. In other words, class feats are only available via the class progression table. Other feats apart from heroic and paragon feats can now be accessible to every character class.

Basically, this means one thing: I'll have reserve at least one post for that. After all, I need to work like any hardworking citizen even though my job doesn't involve the things I do best.

Before I end this...
A naughty idea suddenly popped up in me. Okay, I admit it's not naughty at all since it has got nothing to do with any Sora. Remember what I did for Arylos? Well, I decided to add one more thing. Namely, a character specific daily power. Not for all characters, mind you. Rather, it's reserved only for characters with names instead of any Tom, Dick, and Harry created together with every Mary, Jane, and Sue for that matter. So here it is. Arylos' exclusive daily power.

Scroll to the end to know what I'm about to do. Also *spoiler below*
Apparently, Archer managed to impress Illya-chan despite her Berserker class Servant being the renowned Greek hero Heracles. Sounds a bit like me if I say so myself. I mean the Archer part.

["I find it quite amusing to see such an attack taking somewhat after m'lord's last name."

Before a chuckling Jergal, Kelemvor uttered nary a word. To see an amused Jergal, however, was a rarity in itself. In fact, it was whispered oft amongst the mortal folks that amusing the former god of death was the only means to court immortality in every sense of the word. Of course such rumors were merely tales sung by minstrels and bards who never understood the truth.

"Lyonsbane," murmured the Lord of the Dead, "To think I still have to witness a glimpse of my past. Perhaps an image of what I should have been if not for Ariel Manx."

"You mean the current Mystra," shaking his head, Jergal took his leave. There was no way the god of death could ever revert to the life of Kelemvor Lyonsbane. Perhaps this was the reason why his liege made Arylos one of his Chosen, reasoned Jergal as he glanced back towards the one whom he must both serve and supervise.]

Arrow of Lyonsbane:
[Damage type-Multi target ranged; arcane; burst]
With his bow and a single arrow, Arylos unleashes a bolt of immense power and fury. Upon contact, the projectile will detonate in a massive explosion. All enemies caught in the area of effect will be sucked into a vortex and blasted upwards.
[Burst-+10% critical chance]
Damage: 12000


P.S: Additional info here. Also my ideal theme for ネバーウィンターの勇者伝説 below. Performed by Kalafina, no less. In my super mignonne stickwoman's own words, an awesome group.

Add P.S: Wonder if she's still in America. I mean my super mignonne stickwoman, not any other woman.
