Posted Nov 14, 2018A thought just occurred. How exactly does Creation work? like can you only manipulate the earth AND turn into metal for 30 minutes or is the earth manipulation continuous?
Full Counter also confuses me due to how its worded.

Posted Nov 14, 2018For creation Basically you can control the earth around you for 30 minutes, but when you turn your body into metal you can not control the Earth any more, its basically a trade off. Control earth or turn to metal to deal extra 1d6 bludgeoning damage on top of the original force damage to any creature you punch or kick. Any damage done used by the Earth Manipulation deals 1d8 Bludgeoning when attacking.
Full Counter is Basically The less HP you have the more powerful you are when you activate Full Counter for 30 minutes. Like Lucario In smash Bro, the Less HP you have the stronger you are for 30 minutes when activated. Even when not activated and you take damage anytime the damager modifier stacks and can only be used during the 30 minute activation. Giving Extra damage to any Melee attack you do.
(hope that helped, Also didn't realize i forgot the damage for creation when in metal form and using the earth so i added it here. Also soon i might remake this with the added stuff that i forgot to add the first time.)

Posted Nov 14, 2018So Full Counter is more like Revenge Counter in a sense. Cause Revenge Counter converts the damage that Meliodas has taken to damage the opponent. But here it just converts damage taken to higher damage output.
(I think)

Posted Nov 15, 2018I assume we do not receive the racial traits of the original body.
What happens to the Power Gem if it is cut into but i succeed on the Death Saving throws?

Posted Nov 15, 2018If the Power Gem is cut into, but not sliced in half or destroyed it can repair itself after you succeed the death saving throws.
But if the Gem is Destroyed by any mean minus little cuts and scraps then the construct looses all life on the spot with no death saves.

Posted Nov 16, 2018oh i just noticed i forgot to add the walking speed, well it depends on what you want the original body to be, like for example, dwarf body = dwarf speed, Goliath Body = Goliath speed, and Human body = human speed. Again it will only be humanoid Races (Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, half-elf, Halfling, Half-Orc, Human, Goliath, Changeling, and Shifter races.)
No the gem has to be in the body anywhere you want it to be but in the body, you can even have it showing if you wanted but attached to your body.
Also no you do not gain the racial traits of the original body, just the appearance and speed of them.

Posted Nov 16, 2018Thats what i thought about the walking speed and the racial traits.
But darn it! I thought it would've been pretty clever to have the Stone in a pocket watch cause no one would think to look there lol.
Also, i find it pretty amusing that Homunculi can see through Illusionary Magic but don't have Darkvision.

Posted Nov 16, 2018What do the 4 weak spots in the Ultimate Shield look like? Are they red dots on the skin, like where Greed is stabbed by King Bradley?
Also, was i created with a Nationwide Transmutation Circle or was it by other means?

Posted Nov 16, 2018No the Weak spots don't have to be colored, but if you want them to be colored you can.
And yes, a Nationwide Transmutation circle was used to create you.

Posted Nov 16, 2018If i remember correctly, Greed didn't have any weak spots in his Ultimate Shield while it was active. So why did you give us 4 weak spots to put on our bodies?
Also, are the red nodes on the Homunculi in FMA on this race as well? Giving the ability to weaken/incapacitate a Homunculi is these nodes are pierced?

Posted Nov 16, 2018Greed had them in FMA while his Shield was active, they were the weakest spots on his body, if you watch in FMA Brotherhood you will see Wrath Fight and stab Greed with his shield active in these spots exactly. SO with wrath Having the ultimate Eye that can find the weakest Spots in a persons Body to attack, means that the Nodes even with the Shield activate is still a weak spot on the Homunculus body.
And no the Nodes only appear when you use the ultimate Shield, if you want them to appear at least.

Posted Nov 16, 2018It's been a while since I've seen that fight so i didn't know for sure. I assume that the Ultimate Shield doesn't have to envelop my entire body every time right? Like i can have it cover only my forearms or legs, etc...

Posted Nov 16, 2018Yes exactly, you can have it over any part of your body if you don't want it to cover your whole body.

Posted Nov 21, 2018Could people of a magical persuasion tell that I'm a Homunculus, cause I assume people still attempt to make them time from time, but fail. Since a large amount of magical Energy was used to make me and I have MILLIONS OF SOULS as my power source, would someone adopt in magic be able to tell I'm a Homunculus? Or at least that I'm not normal, aside from my strangities with my name and race.
