FAQ on Creating Magic and Abilities
- Overview: Here on FTRP quite a bit is allowed, from time manipulation to fire magic you can make a wide variety of concepts and abilities. However, there are a few things which aren’t allowed or are restricted in applications. These amendments are hard rules which should be followed, unlike normal magic rules which can be adjusted under some circumstances.
- Creative Freedom: FTRP encourages creative freedom when it comes to magic creation. To preserve this creative freedom, we will not make amendments to every possible abuse. However, the staff team retains the right to pull any application that is deemed abusable either alone or when combined with other abilities or spells on a case-by-case basis.
- EXP and Jewel increases: Outside of a custom lineage, one cannot increase jewel rewards with their magic (golden lacrimas, gold rush lineage, etc. can still be used and stack with each other). Regardless of ability type, one cannot increase the EXP earned from a job with an ability in any way. There are other avenues to do so, such as a team and guild bonus, etc.
- Immunities: One cannot make themselves 100% immune to anything. You can be resistant to it, but you can’t be completely immune to effects, damage, or even entire elements or magics. The only exceptions to this are your own magic (such as being immune to your own spells hurting you). Otherwise please only create effects that allow you to be resistant to something if you wish to try and decrease its effects.
- Counter Chains: With the banning of Immunities, counters are going the way of the dodo, too. You can have an ability which states “if the enemy hits me with X type of spell, Y will happen to it/me” but you cannot have an ability that states that “if the enemy hits me with X type of spell, Y happens, and X doesn’t affect me, and if Y can’t happen due to X having an ability preventing Y, Z happens, ignoring all their stuff.” This is considered a counter-chain, and possession of one will result in the application being pulled.
- Auto Hits/Dodges: Abilities which can affect the inside of a player character or player-associated NPC aren’t allowed. You cannot spawn your attacks inside of another, you can manifest them outside and have them enter, but you cannot automatically hit an opponent from the inside without even touching them. You also may not automatically reflect damage to an or from an opponent without utilizing the necessary effects. Similarly, you cannot auto-avoid an opponent's attacks that hit you. You can, however, absorb an attack with shield spells or armor, of course. Spells with the wording of "if X happens, then an opponent is automatically affected with Y" are not allowed, as such spells and abilities do not give opponents a chance to dodge, constituting an auto-hit. A spell or ability always has to include a realistic way for an opponent to dodge a spell and its effects/consequences, or is otherwise considered an auto-hit. This includes spells that automatically take effect as soon as one sees, hears, or otherwise senses a target, this scenario similarly constituting an auto-hit.
- Nullifying Magic: You cannot have abilities which can nullify, deactivate, or shut off an entire magic, type of magic, element, etc. You could negate a single spell or effect at a time, with a spell or per MP cost, but you cannot shut down a person’s entire magic, equipment, abilities, or lineage. Not only is this concept not fun, but it also is one of the things which promoted immunities in the first place. The only exception to this is the Truth Lineage (and only the Truth lineage, not custom lineages with Truths wording in it). See Negation effects in the Magic and Spell rules for more information on nullification.
- Compounding Buffs: Buffs cannot increase other buffs by any total amount, for instance, you can’t have a 200% increase that is then affected by a 50% increase to become 300%, it would be 250%.
- Rounding: When calculating damages, healing, defenses, etc. as well as buffs and you get a decimal number in the end, we round down to the closest number. This also universally extends to most other site systems such as jewels calculation, exp calculation, etc.
- Magical and Physical Damage in UA’s: If a Unique Ability deals damage (physical or magical), then that damage uses burst values equal to the character's rank. Melee and spell damage may not be combined in a UA.
