To play the devil's advocate here, what range should a Raigo even be? There is no set range to it anyway. And let's say it has an AOE radius of 500 meters how the hell would one even go defending and or avoiding that lol. Even Kallavan isn't insane enough to Unga Bunga himself through something like that. It'll be avoided at all costs, that's how I feel anyway.

Also in general, I'm pretty sure a lot of us weren't even aware of this rule, lol. Pretty sure it's already been violated by a few people in threads here.

Well to be fair we are still limited by the DPR in this system so there's that. Even going off the old RP rules we used to have, you can make a planet-sized attack and if someone puts a hand in front of it with the same stats then its just blocked

You'd clash it with an attack equally as big? Or, you know, a smaller attack to blow a hole through it? Sure, the area around you would be destroyed, but not you. Plenty of ways.

Or attack the thunderstorm and try to dissipate it before it gets to full power.

As for your question on how big it should be in meters, iunno? We never put meters on size of attacks in our decade of RP, and there was never a problem. It's big. That's all. Deal with it with your own big attack. lol

You know Ellie would probably make some snide remarks to the island-sized Raigo attack but approved it anyway lol.

Yeah I guess.

Also speaking in general, realistically only creation DF(para and logias) are the only one's who have AOE's that you could even fit in such a range defining system. Never really liked setting a range value in RP anyway since how do you calculate? Unless every post is and now I'm x meter away from the target and the next post from your opponent goes, and I move y meter to the other direction. Its only use is in close combat to define your punch hits or not.

I get the sentiment to limit AOE to some degree as there is a point where those things become autohits, but unless you're a total newbie at this game I really don't see anyone around here taking advantage of that.

Exactly lol, meters are barely used in RP anyway, so it's just silly.

The way we usually did it in WURP was just use canon attacks as units of measurement.

So if you make a custom technique, you can say this attack is Entei-sized. Or Hiken-sized. Or w/e. That's at least relevant. Meters make no sense. Whenever you RP walking down a street, when do you define how long and wide the street is, and how many houses are in a 60 meter radius, and how many civilians are in those houses, and so on? lol

Nobody does that, so this is pointless. As for only Paras and Logias having this... I mean, mostly. But swordsmen also have it. And Garp destroyed a mountain with his punch.

Edit: In fact, even when I do use Raigo, I won't say it's island-sized or anything. I'll say it's a huge ass thunderstorm. Deal with it with your own huge ass attack. But I definitely don't intend to make it 60 meters because it'd look stupid lol. A weather egg from Nami releases a storm bigger than that instantly, but my legendary warship has been pumping this storm out for the whole time on the island and that's how small it is? Nah xD

Range is difficult indeed.

Not only is it difficult but it is also very subjective.

If I say short distance I usually mean about 2-3m, but others, say Kaka for example might think it is 4-5m instead and RP'd according to what he think 'short distance/range' is.

Just an example out there.

 

[Gambit]

You definitely won't see me making a chibi version of all of my canon attacks, and if you can't deal with that, then I guess we don't have to RP together. (And I ain't being dramatic about it, I just legit would feel stupid doing that, and it's completely non-One Piece)

 

[Kaka]

It's for your own benefit buddy. Otherwise, as demonstrated above, my level 80 NPC with the Ishi would be impossible to beat for Gambit. n.n

 

[Guren]

Something else, after the festival and WCI will we do a time skip for our characters? Gambit can do a newspaper post about how the climate has changed after those events.

I wouldn't mind either way, so I guess up to the community vote. xD

You found an older Kallavan appearance pic or something? xD

 

[Gambit]

To be clear here, I don't have any problems dealing with such an attack, no matter the size of it. That's for me alone. In a one-on-one situation, one can endlessly drop on me an enormous attack and there are multiple ways to deal with it, of course, avoiding it is always the best course.

My only worry about this should this be implemented in the future and I guess that's how and why the GMs before have resorted to that notion, was because there will be times you will work on an island with other PCs just like an event.

It has a tendency to intervene in the current state of the other parties present at that event - story-wise - should they try to build something in there; or currently working on something else. And I know that you will say "I am not gonna use it for no reason".

You know I will most benefit if this will be put into practice.

Nah was talking only for 2 years at a max. It's simply to establish the changes within the ocean. Kallavan, potentially sweeping the land in his dragon form impeding another generation of pirates from forming. Spada and Gambit establishing their major forces etc etc.

We can do that. I have been through 2 timeskips in RP. When Larsi retired and when I regrouped the band.

That's how I remember dealing with an attack when I hosted for @Dream in the Orc Pirates Naval battle

 

[Gambit]

But let us create havoc in Marineford first so that the changing of the guards would be justified. This may also mean, no Gravity Fruit until after timeskip, what do you think @kakashi19283 ?

 

[Beerbottle]

Hey Ichi, how are you? ^^

 

[Guren]

After pirate festival it could be a cool moment to revisit that moment but from the other perspective, perhaps growing beyond Larsi's group(unless his pirate crew had more infamy it's simply a suggestion anyway lmao)

I don't mind

Send him this. You and Cross requested me to do it, ye?
