It is an existing skill. Okita has it at a rank B. Hanzo has it at rank A. It is also known as Reduced Earth, which is what you may be referring to.Originally Posted by Crying
On that stats of Hanzo, he has higher than average Assassin parameters cause he is a warrior more than he is a killer. He doesn't fit the typical Assassin layout but he still makes an ideal one, if that makes sense, cause of his endeavours.

Class: Rider
Master:
True Name: Alaric I, Sacker of Rome/King of Raiders/King of Plunderers
Sex: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Height/Weight: 220cm/130kg
Appearance/Faceclaim: This is an actual picture of him. Don’t know what to do to get an ‘animesque’ picture for him, though.
Strength: B (A)
Endurance: C (B)
Agility: D (C)
Magical Energy: C (B)
Luck: B- (B)
Noble Phantasm: B
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: D
Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.
Riding: B
As long as it is an animal that exists in reality, even if it is a wild animal, he can ride it. Most vehicles can be handled with above average skill.
Personal Skills:
Military Tactics: C+
The tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during a siege for Alaric.
Golden Rule: B
The Sacking of Rome left Alaric would have left Alaric completely untroubled by money for a long time, if he hadn’t died before getting a chance to us it.
Charisma: B
Suitable for a king of a country.
Demonic Assailant of the State: EX
Alaric I’s ability permits the reinforcement of his combat capabilities when assaulting an enemy’s territory, gaining a combat power bonus equivalent to Mad Enhancement of Rank A, and Direptione Romae is a Noble Phantasm that can only be employed within the enemy’s territory.
Noble Phantasm:
Direptione Romae: B (Anti-City/Anti-Fortress)
The event in which Alaric I sacked Rome after having laid siege to it twice before crystallized in a Bounded Field bordering that of a Reality Marble. While in reality Alaric and his forces treated the citizens humanely and burned few buildings, people’s perception of the event is that of hordes of barbarians desecrating the heart of (Western) Civilization and a phenomena similar to the Innocent Monster skill has altered this Noble Phantasm.
At it's base, it is a rather simple Noble Phantasm which absorbs mana from the leylines in the area which it has been deployed and feeds it to Alaric, which functionally gives him a C- Rank in Independent Action. The Noble Phantasm's 'corruption' provides it with the two secondary effects.
Firstly, any structures within the Bounded Field will begin to rapidly decay and break down.
Secondly, any persons inside Direptione Romae will begin to be overcome with bloodlust and start to attack eachother with reckless abandon. A rank of C or higher in Magic Resistance will nullify this effect.
Libertatem Populi Mei: E (Anti-Unit)
Another simple Noble Phantasm, Libertatem Populi Mei is the crystallization of his people's gratitude when they began to fight for themselves instead of for Rome. It's only ability (other than being unnaturally durable, even for a Noble Phantasm) is to provide a morale bonus to his allies that stacks with the morale bonus his allies get from Rank B Charisma.
The actual Noble Phantasm itself is a Roman Chariot decorated with images of the Visigothic people holding him up on a shield. Strangely, it comes with nothing to pull it and real horses need to be procured for it to be used.
---
EDIT: Okay, so I've updated Direptione Romae and given him a mount NP to qualify him as a Rider.

Caster Hippasus (of Metapontum)
Alignment: Lawful Evil
STR E
AGI D
EN E
MGI A
LU E
NP B
Class skills:Territory Creation E:
With even his city of origin being unclear to modern historians, Caster has been stripped of the skill Territory Creation. However, his Noble Phantasm acts as a more-than-adequate replacement.
Item Creation D:
According to one statement, Hippasus left no writings; according to another, he wrote a Mystic Discourse meant to discredit Pythagoras.
Conflicting writings have led to the meagre rank of 'D'. Hippasus can create minor Mystic Codes, but not much more.Pythagoreanism A
Personal skills:
Hippasus was a member of the cult of Pythagoreans, a group of magi founded by the philosopher Pythagoras and his followers.
Core to the sect's ideas is that members were learned both in mathematics and in mysticism, eventually leading to modern Thaumaturgy.
The theories they proposed included assigning special significance to certain numbers, the theory the Earth and the Sun both turned in circles around a central Great Fire, and the idea of a "universal harmony", something that led to the development of the modern musical scale.
As a system of mysticism, its theories on numericalism make it so their spells are defined as pseudo-mathematical formulae, allowing for casting even in complete silence.
Due to his status as founder of a subsect of the Pythagoreans, his calculating time is only half that of other mathematicians.
Imaginary Numbers A+
Also called "Hollow". An element outside of the classical definitions of the elements.
While not born with it, he attempted to grant it to himself through a ritual he performed while out at sea.
Immediately after the ritual had succeeded, though, he was thrown overboard into the sea by the unnerved crewmen.
Over time, this was turned into a legend of divine punishment, leading some modern magi to think of the incident as an intervention by the Counter Force.
Imaginary Numbers, as an element, excels at spells dealing with spiritual beings, but is somewhat less so for physical beings. It could be said that Hippasus is more suited for combat between Servants than combat with human magi.
Noble Phantasm:√2 ~ Dodecahedron in a Sphere ~ Anti-Spirit B
The act for which Hippasus became famous: the proof that the square root of 2 is not an rational number.
Interpreted in the light of the mysticism of the Pythagoreans, it becomes clear that "proofs" were just another name for Grand Rituals, and we can infer this proof in particular was a ritual to change the element of Hippasus to Imaginary Numbers.
This Noble Phantasm reproduces a similar ritual; however, instead of one meant to boost himself up, it is one meant to counteract spiritual beings. It is a continually-expanding Bounded Field, draining all spirituality from those caught within it and refunneling it to boost Hippasus. In time, it could even prove lethal to Servants, no matter how powerful. The effects are negated somewhat by not taking spirit form, but this carries its own disadvantages.
Notes:
Having recently rolled Paracelsus in F/GO, I was reminded he was an Average One, and that got me thinking about Sakura's element, Irrational Numbers.
A bit of Wikipedia research later and boom, here we are.
He's deliberately built as an anti-Paracelsus, down to his alignment. I've also been inspired by Nuclear Consensus' al-Khwarizmi profile.

Oh, very nice! I thought about commenting on how strong the oni are (perfect invulnerability? A better Assassin than most Assassins?!), but really, it seems petty to talk about overpoweredness in the Nasuverse. :-P That said, I think it would be good to expand a bit on their physical abilities. For instance, the metal oni: since he will have to rely on melee attacks, maybe you could explain how fast it is, how good it is at fighting, etc.
Is High-Speed Incantation necessary? I ended up just folding it into the Witchcraft Skill of the Casters I've done.
Last edited by SpoonyViking; February 6th, 2016 at 09:51 AM.
I made the oni really strong because if you know their weakness they're pretty easy to dispel.
I'm honored that you would reference my paltry sheets like so.
Anyway, I've built up a backlog of sorts for Servant sheets, so here's one I've been working on for quite a bit. Oh, and this is the first time I'm using a faceclaim! Yay!
Appearance
Class: Caster
True Name: Doņa Maria Blanca de los Cristales
Attribute: Earth
Alignment: Lawful Good
STR: E
END: E
AGI: C+
MGI: A
LCK: A
NP: A+
Skills:
Territory Creation: A
The ability to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Creation of a Temple, which is superior to a Workshop, becomes possible.
Item Construction: B
The ability to create magical items. Caster can create above average magical items and Mystic Codes out of nothing but water.
Mahika Blanca: A
The signature Magecraft of Maria Blanca, its basis lies in alteration, transformation, and the impermanence of forms. The Skill allows for the transmutation of water into vastly different objects, and also permits for the transformation of one’s body.
Noble Phantasm:
El FrascoThe Flagon of My Heart Shall Surely Overflow
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Army, Anti-Country
Range: 1-200
Max targets: 10000 people
An elaborate crystal flask filled with a transparent liquid that can be said to be the pinnacle of Maria Blanca’s legend. It can be said to be an amplification-type Noble Phantasm that takes the user’s inmost thoughts and feelings and manifests them in the physical world in the form of pure water. Of course, as someone who is unversed in the art of making her thoughts heard, this Noble Phantasm has excellent compatibility with Maria Blanca. With the magical water, she can create familiars, establish Bounded Fields, draw magic circles for more complex spells, and so on. It is also possible to simply pour the flask’s contents onto the world, creating a torrential flood that hearkens back to the legends of the primeval flood of Noah and Utnapishtim, but on a smaller scale.

Huh. So, she's basically Medea but not a monster/bitch?
Also, she's a rather minor Heroic Spirit to have an EX-ranked Noble Phantasm. Though, given what it's capable of doing, and why, I guess it deserves the rank.

Medea was never a bitch. But yeah, basically.
Class: Caster
True Name: Agrippina The Younger
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Place of Origin: Rome
Strength- E
Endurance- E
Agility- D
Mana- B
Luck- C
NP- C
Height/Weight: 161cm/60kg
Likes: Herself, Power
Dislikes: Unexpected Events
Talent: Manipulation, Child Cruelty
Natural Enemy: Her Daughter
Class Skills:
- Territory Creation (C) - Because it seems that her personality is not suited for it, Agrippina has difficulty in manufacturing even a Workshop
- Item Construction (C) - Agrippina specialises in poisons, so she can't make any other types of tools.
Personal Skills:
- Imperial Privilege (A) - An ability that, due the insistence of the owner, Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. In cases when the Rank is above A, even the "burden to the body" is acquired (such as Divinity). In Agrippina's case, the skills she gains are: Alluring Nightingale, Courtly Graces, Charisma, Seduction and others.
- Planning (B) - A skill that denotes the ability to plan and plot. She manipulated Nero from her upbringing, grooming her to be emperor and dependent on her.
Noble Phantasm
Lore
Look, I didn't make a Saber for once! It was stated in some of the Extra Material Nero's mother was elegible to become a Caster, so this was my first go at it.
Last edited by Bird of Hermes; April 23rd, 2016 at 12:46 PM. Reason: Formatting
I always thought that Nero's mom qualifying as a Heroic Spirit was weird. She's not that famous or heroic or anything.
I figured that if she ever was summoned, she'd be an extremely weak Servant and if you wanted to make her strunk you'd need to pull a lot of 'lolnasu' lore changes. This makes her decently strong without much, if any, character jerking.
I feel like her stats are pretty high for a simple polititian though.
Physically, she's on a similar level as Medea, Mozart, Gilles and Elizabeth Bathory which I felt appropriate. If you look through her life, the luck stat seems apropriate, and for a Caster, she has a low mana stat by comparison.
Yeah, but it's a very situational weakness; it's not like exorcism is a common skill set among most Magi, or even most Servants.
But, like I said, it feels really petty to talk about something being overpowered in the Fate franchise. :-) I mean, Herakles had 12 lives and nearly-total invulnerability, and he was still just the mid-boss in the original VN!
Oh, very cool concept! I imagine the E-Rank Luck is because of how legends say he suffered divine punishment?
Is it necessary to create an entire Skill just for his Element, though? Why not just make a note of it under his main magecraft Skill? Likewise, does High-Speed Incantation need to be its separate Skill, instead of part of his magecraft Rank? I know the "Grand Order" version of Paracelsus has both a casting Skill (Elements? Elemental?) and High-Speed Incantation, but that might be because of gameplay reasons; the novel version (unless the wiki is wrong) only has High-Speed Incantation, which fits with Medea, Archer and Tamamo, for example, only having a single magecraft Skill, and any differences in them (such as casting speed) being attributed to the differences in the Skills themselves.
Even if you do retain High-Speed Calculation, I'd suggest lowering it to Rank C - the benefit doesn't really seem worthy of the Rank considering even modern Magi can do the same thing.
...Actually, shouldn't he qualify for High-Speed Divine Words? Maybe not at Rank A, but possibly B?
As for his Noble Phantasm, does it cost Prana to maintain, or is it self-sustaining? What's the expansion rate?
Another interesting Servant! I don't have anything on which to comment except to note her NP Parameter is A+, but her actual NP is Ranked EX?
Her physical stats are actually better than most of theirs: Medea has STR E, END D and AGI C, Gilles has STR D, END E and AGI D (and he's noted to be in the wrong Class; he actually qualifies for the Saber Class), Bathory-as-a-Caster has D in all physical Parameters (which does seem high, but her Nasuverse version has dragon blood), and Mozart has STR D, END E and AGI B (the only stat which seems too high, but as has been noted many times in this thread, "Grand Order" seems to suffer from some inflation in that regard).
In spite of her Noble Phantasm, she seems terribly suited to the Caster Class. I'd suggest remaking her as an Assassin, myself.
Last edited by SpoonyViking; February 6th, 2016 at 03:13 PM.
I can't argue against Medea (a princess and a witch), Mozart (a music composer) or Bathory (an insane noblewoman) but I can argue that Giles was a knight before his whole, uh, Bluebeard phase so he should have decent-ish stats.
--EDIT--
Yeah, her stats are definitely too high. Hmm, maybe STR E, END E and AGI D?
Luck also seems a bit high. In her "legend" she wasn't known for being particularly lucky and one could argue she was very unlucky with Nero killing her despite all the planning she did. Maybe C or D?
Also, why is her NP stat listed as C when her actual Noble Phantasm is ranked B?
Last edited by Crying; February 6th, 2016 at 10:20 AM.
Thanks for all the feedback Crying and SpoonyViking! I've nerfed her stats and fixed the reading with the NP.
I think her skills and personality are are far more suited to the Assassin class but official material - not sure if it's Extra material or Grand Order, but it's said that she is eligible for the Caster class - so I put her there.
And for "Grand Order" in general, i can tell that they inflated the new low tier servants to make them stand out more, this sort of stuff happens in card games like Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! (Never played em really, but still.)
Exactly.
You're right about High-Speed Calculation; I'll probably scrap that bit and repurpose its description under Pythagoreanism. (Sorry, Nuclear.) I think I've gotten (too) used to GO sheets, where everyone's got 3 skills.Is it necessary to create an entire Skill just for his Element, though? Why not just make a note of it under his main magecraft Skill?
Likewise, does High-Speed Incantation need to be its separate Skill, instead of part of his magecraft Rank? I know the "Grand Order" version of Paracelsus has both a casting Skill (Elements?

...Actually, shouldn't he qualify for High-Speed Divine Words? Maybe not at Rank A, but possibly B?
The Element is a pretty important part of the sheet, on the other hand. Definitely keeping that part.
And he's Age of Man, not Age of Gods, in spite of the divine punishment thing. So I don't think he qualifies for HSDW.
My idea was that the most prana intensive part is getting it started, but after that it funnels part of the energy to its upkeep.As for his Noble Phantasm, does it cost Prana to maintain, or is it self-sustaining? What's the expansion rate?
The expansion rate is something I've left in the air, in case I ever do end up using him for an RP or something, so that I can adjust it to fit the scope of that War.
Did you change your original post? I'm not seeing any changes, and I wanted to check if the issue is with my browser.
Oh, I missed your note about that. Hmm... Well, this is a franchise where we have Shakespeare as a Caster, I suppose her NP would be enough to qualify her for the Caster Class.I think her skills and personality are are far more suited to the Assassin class but official material - not sure if it's Extra material or Grand Order, but it's said that she is eligible for the Caster class - so I put her there.
I think you should probably add to the sheet the list of Skills she can replicate by means of Imperial Privilege (much like how Nero's IP lets her replicate Riding, Charisma, swordsmanship, etc.).
Also, I'm not an expert on Latin or anything, but are you sure "Venenum Mea Filia" means what you think it means?
Probably for game balance purposes, too. I mean, in a novel, you can write around a character's strengths or weaknesses - see, for instance, Gilgamesh's defeats in all three routes of the original VN -, but you can't really do that in a game outside of cutscenes.And for "Grand Order" in general, i can tell that they inflated the new low tier servants to make them stand out more[...]
Fair enough. Although perhaps you could add it as a "+" modifier under Pythagoreanism?
Isn't he from around 500 b.C.? Isn't that still during the Age of the Gods?And he's Age of Man, not Age of Gods, in spite of the divine punishment thing. So I don't think he qualifies for HSDW.

Imperial Privilege seems a copout here - It makes sense for Nero to have, but why her? Does history make note of her having 'I deciced, therefore it shall be' decisions often? It seems she at least did genuine (if mental) work of her own most of the time instead of just ordering everything to happen on her say so. Even if she has IP having A Rank sounds excessive for a person who never ruled over anything besides her family.
- Imperial Privilege (A) - An ability that, due the insistence of the owner, Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. In cases when the Rank is above A, even the "burden to the body" is acquired (such as Divinity).

They are a family in the end<3
I have commited a horrible crime.
; - ;
Turns out I forgot to save the changes I made, so I just did it again. I've added the skills she can replicate, like Nero some are pre-existing and others are non combat based.
And if you used Google Translate to get "Poison My Daughter", you'd be right.
What I got was "Conquest, My Daughter" (complete with the awkward grammar and strangely placed comma). But close enough, I suppose.
Ah. I don't think "venenum" can be used as the verb, though; I think the proper choice would be "Inficio". Mind you, like I said, I'm no expert; Seika is probably the person to ask regarding that.
