Yeah, but not as Anime it appears.
For me it just came too late. There was no translation for germany, and the age where I would start to watch stuff on the internet myself in japanese+english, just started around five years ago. I tried once to watch it, because the theme definitly interests me, but I didn't make it far. ..Maybe one of the shows you have to grow up with to appreciate them.

I currently watch this one though.
Of all the ongoing new ones, currently my favourite.

I've heard of that, and seen suspects on the internet, but the people I met so far have always been very compromising and grown up in their behaviour. I guess you can easily end up with problems if you just go to a casual internet Hub for game seeking players, where people just jump into boats together, but I myself never did that.
I usually also prefer to play with friends or people I know a bit at least. Setting up games with complete strangers, I would be afraid.

The description of Aura Extension doesn't mention a limitation like that, though it seems debatable.
However, keep in mind that Aura Extension is the only thing that lets you achieve attack scores over 280 when firing projectiles, so there is definitly something jumping over and giving effect. So the remaining mystery is: Is it the weapon or the ammunition?
I know it is always questionable to judge these things on real thinking, but I would assume that the aura has in this case indeed to be extended to the projectile. It is the energy damaging part, and also the thing that does all the flying. However you could still think that the weapon is just KI charged in some way, enabling you to aim more precicesly, without having aura projectiles at all. Maybe it 'coats' the ammuntion on firing to achieve energy damaging properties - but why would it not take over the damage here?(seems you also negate the energy damaging ability of ranged weapons? pretty big intervention if it was not meant this way.)

Given that there is no such limitation in the text, and the part of the "Increased Damage" KI ability can also be read in the complete opposite way, I wouldn't invent the restriction. No clear words against it, but also not for, so, by science, you always go with the easier explanation with the least assumptions.

Interesting, so even Putin would lose a election if bringing that up, huh? That indeed speaks for the strength of tax evasion there.

What do you mean? Isn't that a guy? ..It is a guy right? *wiki*...Oh god, it's not a guy.

I part with EVILrokzz. We don't need to invent any new words to have it sound the way we understand it. It's absolutly in with the given description, and not only that, but since Level Modifiers usually work this way in other games, it is that which makes it appear so likely for us.

Though the black highlighted phrases that the two of you put up, aren't proving anything for any side. That, ultimatly, will not be possible with just this given text.


But I am interested on how you can read the last line of the official example without admitting some brain acrobatic in understanding. It certainly seems not the easiest way to describe what you see it to be, if they wanted to describe it.
The line:
Why giving this awkward number, if it used for nothing more than determining completly different number by difference, and has no standpoint otherwise? You have to silently add a sentence of "The Experience needed to level up to level 5 is therefore determined by the difference of these 975 and the 750 Experience.", which is left out. The example ends there, not to mention that the original rule text before doesn't mention calculation maneuvers like that at all.
If that was implied, then why not directly say that you have to get +25*x Exp per level? It would be much easier than referring to the original table here, which in your interpretation, has absolutly no hold, since all the numbers and threshold are of with custom Exp. niveaus.
Why confuse everyone by stating "need 975 to gain the next level", and not just saying "fifthy more, you'r good".

To clear up the sum ups in the original level table, they could just say that you have to add 25*x*level to correct them, so that would be like +200 on level 4 for the Sylvain.
..But there is nothing. You have to deduce the new table by yourself, using a for many people tiring process of figuring out all the differences, and then adding their +25*x to each gap everytime, while never having a clear sight at the sums.

This appears like alot of detouring to me, in comparison with the other solution, that is absolutly in sight, without any bending or house ruling whatsoever.
They write he would have experience like a level 6 with 750 in total on level 4, and then he needs to pass the threshold of a level 7, which is 975, to become level 5. (if the Sylvain starts at level 4, he indeed only needs 225 btw., since he brought all the necessesary experience to be at his current level with him)
They could mean you have to derive the difference with your fingers, but I don't see why the confusing statement was necessary in that case, if there were obvious options to express it more easily without referencing any unneeded material.


As I said, I descided for my interpretation mainly because in probably every other game with level mods it was meant just this way (look it up, ..Dnd), and is absolutly in the description, also more easy to understand (no math needed), as well as leaving the original table intact.

This I want to see too.

By the way, when Putin visited germany some weeks ago, he actually gave some tv interview in which he dared to threaten the moderator after he asked some semi critical questions. Easy threats like "what was your name again? ..aha, I will have to remember that.", but still. ..On Tv, you know. In front of the cameras.
Man, this probably didn't happen here since, uhh.., oh right, when the connection to russia fell with the wall.

Actually, that sounds like a normal day on the internet for me.

But I know. I have seen russian forums on a few occassions.(translated mostly) ..Some people rumor their eternal fighting pleases some kind of ancient god, and if it should ever stop, something terrible will happen.


As for 4chan: The only time I visited there, I instantly landed in some kind of irrational hate spread thread. People accussing others of being mentaly deranged and disregarding entire societies as bad joke makers. The few sense making posters were torn apart by emotional "arguments". It was so explosively irrational, that I never came back.
I used to think 4chan was some kind of anime themed forum, where some devoted internet smarts meet to chatter about their hobbies. ..I have never been so wrong.

She must be a very honest girl to say that. Steuerhinterziehung is a real sport here. Everyone is doing it, and the better you are, the more praise you receive. Like for example just recently Uli Hoeneß, the manager of our best football club, had millions covered, and though some now question how anybody can be considered honest if he couldn't stand, most are just like "meh" and some single ones even claimed that he is in fact above the state.
Another famous example is the boss of our Postbank, who was catched, but got out of this by paying a fee. ...A fee that was considerably less than what he gained by blacking out some taxes.. .
We still haven't touched this famous Cd we received either, which contains tax fraud data from Luxemburg that would expose thousands of people here. Why? ..uh, no reason?

We wouldn't wanna ruin some good competition now, won't we?


Yesz, a shame it would be so difficult and expensive to set up in reality though.

Probably by chance though - Assumingly the only time in the next year, where I will be outside my country, will be on Artist's Alley next year. Probably.
I always wanted to visit that to stock up on some really classy anime art. If someone is by chance also there (not too unlikely here), then I will be identifyable by some clouds I use to float around when I feel my feet can't reach the ground anymore.

You have not seen the true terror of bots, if you haven't seen the human kind. I call them cyborgs.
Yes, it seems that bot filters have become so good, that some organisations seem to see it viable to send some low income real employees into forums, to unload their spam there. Those are always smart enough to get through the bot filters, and even disguise themselves as normal users by giving random commentary to some threads - "yes, yes, what you are talking about seems very interesting".
And then they start asking for "tips", where they usually list some things they could buy. 3 product links per post or so, but enough talking that you still have to hold them in question, to not accidently ban a respectable user. It is madness.


Rumors go, that there are even Zylon bots around, who have just not awakenend yet and wait for the call.
Being tools, programed long time ago to appear as perfect users, everybody could be one. ..Maybe tomorrow you will start spamming?

..Ok, the last one I made up.

If you start of with a level 4 group in which the Sylvain is also already level 4, then you terminated this exp debt, and gave him some advantage. Normally(from the interpretation I see likely) he would be level 2+2 if they had started from level 1.
Now however, he just pays 50 Exp more as if he had already the Exp of a level 6 and needed the difference to the 7th to be gathered. He already starts with 750 where the others only had 375.


//
Yes, I agree that this level difference isn't really worth the small benefits you get. This is the reason after all, why level adjustment isn't exactly loved.
Also, level is in general much more important in Anima, as in other games. In DnD you could shrug that of, but here 2 levels mean everything. Live or die.



Just to illuminate the two different interpretations again, both paths' growth table with a Sylvain guy. { Format: [next Level] - [Exp for next level up] ([total Exp after level up]) }
Your way:
Level 2 - 150 (150)
Level 3 - 175 (325)
Level 4 - 200 (525)
Level 5 - 225 (750)
Level 6 - 250 (1000)
Level 7 - 275 (1275)

The other way:
Level 2 - 375 (375)  ~ experience points of a normal level 4 character
Level 3 - 175 (550)
Level 4 - 200 (750)  ~ experience points of a Sylvain level 4 character
Level 5 - 225 (975)  ~ what he needs for the next level


Those resemble the numbers mentioned in the example of the book to the detail, while yours comes up with entirely new level barriers and is nowhere like the example.
Though I recognize the way it can be read, so the other way makes full sense too, I just wouldn't consider that first choice. ..Is a bit awkward, and destroys the known barriers to make up some new ones. It is also completly different from the DnD system where it (supposedly) copied from, which indeed just offsets the level from start (- you needed 6000 to level 2, where everybody else would just've hit level 4).

Classical indicators are hot female avatars , and some sort of "boxing glove" discussion style. Short and direct, easy to mistake for aggression if you don't get it, and that I have never seen from everyone else.
You both have that to different degrees, and so does one of my elder study colleagues and his girlfriend (russian students? must be physics ), who happen to live around.

However, that would not be enough, so I guess there are more subtle things hidden inbetween the lines, that are just impossible to lay out in detail.
For example, I've actually unmasked a russian girl in my first uni year before too, that didn't have any of the above indications. Don't know how, because it was definitly not clear by accent or looks (turned out she lived in germany for her last 7 school years, so she adapted), but it was still mysteriously obvious somehow.
And a similar thing for a much more obscure case of another girl just recently. She looks by any means asian, but still I figured there was something wrong, so I took chance with Usbekistan, where both meet. No, she claims she is full russian, quite the surprise. ...Still means though that there is something leaking through, even if you disguise yourselves as asians.


Yet, considering how safe I could have made the bet about you in comparison to 4eij0bek, it could also be that you actually said something that gave it away in the past directly, and I just forgot and am now mistaking my sunken subconcious knowledge for superb intuition...  Wouldn't be the first time.



...And before someone asks, yes, I do this "guess the nationality" game quite alot, as do many people around me. I happen to live in a student village area, where around 80% of the inhabitants are foreign, so this is kind of a classical introduction here whenever you meet someone new.
Though internet is alot harder, up to impossible. The russian 140% style is a rare case of a good indicator, as would be for example if someone wrote a laugh reaction as "huehuehue", which noone would consider funny that doesn't come from south america.

That is exactly the part where I see the problems we are having. It is nowhere stated clearly how this works, so it comes to interpretation sadly.

I summon out of the text in question anything that is said about this ("Level Modifiers", page 255):
...That's it. We don't get more.

Now, you can interpret it the way that "they are just judged as having +x levels more when defining how much experience they need this level up, on the spot - just this level".
This results in the +25*x Exp need per level you were speaking about.

But you can also interpret it the way that "they are in all matters considered being +x level when looking at how many Exp they need in total to gain another level".
This results in what Evilrokzz described in his first example.


Both interpretations are absolutly valid. So no one can claim which is right just by the rule text given, without further illumination from the official side.

However, for me, the example after that pushes it more likely onto the second side, which is why I handle it that way. Obviously they are talking about the total experience niveau needed, so this includes the big offset at the first level up.
EVIL has written it down. You literally need the total Exp of a level 7, to become level 5 when having a +2 mod.

Ok, that was crystal clear, no question.

Also I assume that 4eij0bek is one.



Seems like it's the same story everywhere..

I think you may have been studying too much Zen meditation.

Wasn't that the exact same way DnD treated those level adjustments?


..And with this:
He is absolutly right there. With, lets say a +2 level modifier, a fresh character would need 375 Exp to get to level 2. However, to get to level 3, he would now only need another 175. ..And then 200, 225, etc. .
Point is, the first level is indeed crowded and that definitly looks like a (little) design flaw.
Maybe you could argue that the character starts with 225, so he only needs 150, and the growth of the series (+25 every time) stays the same.
This is however nowhere specified, if not in some errata I haven't seen. With my information, it looks like Magician described.

You are right, but on the same time so incomplete that it sounds wrong again.
Yes, you need like +50 more on a level with a +2 level modifier. When somebody else needs 200, you need 250.
However, you are already reduced in advance by an enormous amount, which, assuming all the characters of a group are of the same level of experience, comes out to you having exactly so much fewer levels, that you are all still leveling in synchro.
So when the level 3 needs 150, you(with a +1 mod) are level 2 and also need 150. ..You end up being one level reduced, just like the wording of "level modifier" implies.

..I don't get it.

That she is.

She only had a 100 damage barrier? I guess I remembered more of the stuff I instantly started to phantasize about after seeing that Elan=Monsterpower trick, instead of the real character. I know in this moment I recognized how this was a key build to so many completly different characters, like the creation system just got doubled in options.

On the other hand, there really is no way to not get a personal oppinion on this, as in the end we are rarely more than one person. (and if, then please use different accounts for your schizophrenic siblings. ..so confusing )

This should not be about evaluating other peoples judgement, but sharing ideas, in which -even if you don't like them all- you can still always find some good ones to adapt for your own. For example that idea of a Zen memory check enabling you to remember stuff of a past life got pretty famous, because it was good.
..There could be more like this, yet nobody knows.


Also, I think the people around here are polite enough to not go fafafa about little constructs like this. And even if, then it's your choice to take it seriously or not, where the last one works a way easier if there are already people around who like it instead.

This I found kind of lame by the way. First they decoy you with promises of being able to surf the rainbows in this game. ..And then, every description of it is a mere common bonus wihtout any special twist to give the word Zen or even just Inhuman its honor.
I don't understand why that here. They got it right with the attributes.
