Isfandiyar: Royd, ya seem to be fond of making composite skills a lot as you make them quite a bit these days. If he was a champion of a religious movement like you said, just give him Protection of the Faith and one of the skills like Bravery separately.

His armours main effect is to just boost his endurance, the only real thing it has going for it is the luck reduction of his killer. Also given how the armour of Achilles isn't a noble phantasm and the consensus here that it shouldn't be in most circumstances doesn't make me think that the armour itself should be a noble phantasm. I recommend you either retool it or scrap it. The chain is basically just the chains of heaven but removing the divinity effect with skill loss and strengthening on magical ability. Also, binding ANY ability? You may wanna rephrase that. His variant of Haft Khan... it works. Simple but it does work considering his legend.

All together he seems like a half way house between Gilgamesh and Heracles without any divinity and with a Persian flavour.

well in the anime he says "cthulhu fhtagn" when he's first summoned and looking at the books. I'd say that's pretty telling.
In the LN it just says he mutters some words.
therefore the "cthulhu in zero" rather than just "cthulhu"

i'm guessing there will be more on this in strange fake.

The idea was it was based on his works and the state of his mind that the actual Cthulhu and adopting his perceived visage. I'll go back and rephrase to prevent further confusion.

Yeah, I'm aware I use composite-type Skills a lot lately. Well to be honest, most of my original Skills are either composites or parameter-boosting ones (Isfandiyar happens to have examples of both). The armor is probably my favorite NP of his because of the flavor I put in regarding its appearance, so I'm definitely not going to scrap that. In some versions he bathed in a pool to be granted invulnerability, and in others it was from a magic armor so I combined it into 'water-armor'. Rather proud of that one, actually.

Also, his armor doesn't just boost Endurance but 'Armor Class' as well, which is admittedly rather ill-defined but it is a real term in Nasuverse (Bellerophon's description mentions it as 'boosting Armor Class'). I didn't want to go with the usual 'denial of attacks below a certain rank' since I'd already used a version of that for Rostam. And the chain only binds monstrous or sorcery-based abilities, not anything whatsoever.

In any case, thanks very much for the feedback.

Achilles' golden armor is a NP, he'd get it in Greece.
Higashide's stated that before.

I forgot that it was region specific.

Sort of weird though in that he already has invulnerable skin. Just how tough would he be with that and the armor?

[JetKinen]

Not enough to beat Herk in greece

Newsflash: Achilles is a very strong Heroic Spirit

Except, yknow, we've known this for years.

I'm pretty sure we've known this since like the 8th century BC.

but is he stronger than grendel's mother

Update: After looking up Isfandiyar's legend a bit more, I decided to give him Grace Of God at rank C.

[Sesto]

since when does the grace of god include divinity

the irony of brad pitt beowulf and angelina jolie grendel's mother
oh wait

That's what higashide said and why he cut it from romanian achilles.

[RoydGolden]

Since I said so.

Also, the description listed on the wiki didn't list any effects at all beyond just flavor, so I had to fudge it a little bit. In any case, it fits Isfandiyar's legend and there is precedent for Skills taking on slightly different manifestations depending on the hero (Herc's Battle Continuation is different from Cu's, for instance), even at the same rank.

yes that is the joke

also grace of god makes it sound like something it's not.

too soon.

Update 2nd: In case

they don't

anybody cares

I've just raised Isfandiyar's Grace Of God to C+ and clarified the Divinity bonus is unique to him rather then a generic one.

don't use things you don't understand no matter how enticing it looks, since there is no generic form of that skill.

bug MoC to change it to goodness of god or something to keep the alliteration but remove the implication of some kind of inherent divine power

so we can then argue over it being a commentary of alignment instead

[Spartacus]

considering the cthulu in zero was from a spiritual realm, why would lovecraft have a RM?

Can You tell me more about this spiritual realm thing? It the first time I heard about it.
