Fate/Regalia Questions Classroom

[Verg Avesta]

Verg are Conceptual Weapons a lot stronger in their effects than Formal Wear?

Depends.

[Mellon]

How hard is it to procure property in OLYMPUS (for students)? Say in Demeter for example? Is it possible for PCs as they are at the moment?

What about workshops? Are they mainly on the various factional areas, or are they more peppered all over the city?

[RacingeR]

Since this got talked about in the chat...

What is the difference between Eye of the Mind (False) and Instinct? What would happen if you have both? (At higher levels of the skills)

Is there any difference between Vitrification and Presence Concealment at A rank? (Vitrification mentions "A mental protection that nullifies mental interference" in its description, but not sure if the skill does actually give you protection towards mental interference on top of invisibility mode.)

[Tobias]

Vitrification is weaker then prenence concealment, assuming the conversation we had way back on moonwhite is still accurate. In general, class skills are pound for pound, better then personal skills with a similar effect.

Also, EotM (F) is purely defensive while instincts boosts both offense and defense, so there is that.

[Twelveseal]

That makes me wonder, though. If Class Skills are better, how exactly does Numb to Pain work? It seems like nothing so much as a watered down version of Battle Continuation or Honor of the Battered, since it doesn't actually keep a Servant alive longer the way BC does or boost combat ability like HotB, and provides protection against pain. Servants in general seem to be able to ignore pain for the most part anyway, barring things like the Verg Avesta NP. And I doubt there's a skill out there that can outright trump an NP, barring Benkei-wank in Apocrypha.

So, how does NtP actually work in game mechanics? Is it a Class Skill that's weaker than its Personal counterparts?

[RacingeR]

Is it possible to get AP/stuff when ending battles in a tie or losing but surviving?

[Verg Avesta]

It is rather hard, since students are given the accommodations they "need" during their stay. If a student wants to acquire property, it is clear that she or he needs it for something other than necessity.

What about workshops? Are they mainly on the various factional areas, or are they more peppered all over the city?

80% are focused on factional areas, but few stray ones are out there, too...

What toby said. Plus they have a huge lore difference, which is pretty much the same thing as difference between sorcery and runes.

Think of it like this. If Saber had NtP, she would have been able to use Excalibur after Diarmuid slashed her hand, or continue like it was nothing after being struck by Gae Bolg.

Is it possible to get AP/stuff when ending battles in a tie or losing but surviving?

It is, during special circumstances.

[Mellon]

What are the specific benefits of a Workshop? Do the bonuses work on non-magi?

[hero]

Can I forge gods with God Forge A?

Serious question: Does Kagura have someone close in OLYMPUS? A friend or someone who cares about her (etc)?

[Tobias]

Statue-chan desu

[hero]

All my money

[RacingeR]

Kagura x Shrine OTP

[Tobias]

(It's platonic) statue-chan actually wingmans for kagura when she goes clubbing on weekends

Ability/Spell research time is cut down tremendously.

As a matter of fact... there is.

You might have already seen that person in the background.

[hero]

Any other spellcasting Fujou (or in absence, Asakami/Ryougi) around?

[RacingeR]

Can spellcasters whose factions don't have workshops rent workshops from other factions?

Perhaps, with right Perks and backstory...

Can spellcasters whose factions don't have workshops rent workshops from other factions?

From some factions.

[Tobias]

IIRC one of the expansion factions rents workshops out for equivalent exchange. Though if you are comfortable with someone else having a Skelaton key for for your workshop...

[hero]

Rent workshop from yandere

[Mellon]

How much do non-spellcasters gain from a workshop anyway? Its not like a workshop will allow you to unlock the next tier of your demon blood or whatnot.

Or can it?

Unless you can make your own workshop, someone will have a key for it anyway. Whether it be your Dorm Head or anyone else you got it from. I guess you can add your own magical protections to stop that from happening (I doubt the door is the main thing stopping someone from barging into your workshop).

With Servants around, its not that likely to be secure anyway.
