>Sanjay comes up to you. "I don't want for us to be hostile towards each other," he says tersely. "As such, I apologize for how I spoke to you on the first day of classes."
if he can be civil we can return the favor

>>23438771
Extend a hand.
"Sounds like a plan Sanjay. We can all stand to learn thing or two. Fancy a spar?"

>>23438826
>Fancy a spar?"
lets not

>>23438771
Well, I kinda thought you were a dick, so I guess it balances out?"

>>23438771
Sure, accept it, be as civil as is polite, and nothing more.

>>23438771
Let's ask him if he knows any martial-arts and whether he'd like us to show him something if he doesn't.

>>23438771
Fuck forgot the title again. The previous thread is now archived:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Blatant%20Fetish%20Quest

Remember to vote it and the previous threads up.

>>23438771
"No hard feelings. And welcome to the Lotus, by the way."

Just be polite, don't ask him for a spar or anything silly.

>>23438771
Well, there's only one way to figure out if we we liked it because we liked it or because Breakfast liked it. Fucking him. Not saying we have to do it, but it's the only way to be sure.

"Water under the bridge Sanjay, water under the bridge. I hope we can get along from now on."

Extend a hand and shake his.

"So, why'd you choose Lotus? You finding your way around here alright?"

>>23438826
No spar, not right now. We've got fucktons of physical enhancements, we'd rip his lungs out, and that'd be unfair and impolite.

>>23438771
So long as you don't take any action against me or my own, I have no quarrel with you. Welcome to the Lotus.
The last part sort of grudgingly, as a concession.

>>23438771
At the very least, we shouldn't shit where we eat. That means making nice with Sanjay. We don't have to be buddies, but bury the hatchet. At least in public.

>>23438771
"fair enough. As i said before, I'm Max and it's a pleasure to meet you. Finally." Now wait for the session to start.

>>23438771
We kinda have to act civil here so just accept his apology.

>>23438862
Seriously? You're asking for upvotes on suptg?

>>23438888
Then later when he comes after Liz we can bury the hatchet in a more stealthy and literal sense elsewhere.

>>23438872
We're also a skilled martial artist, and have settings between "Not Punching" and "Punching the Heart out of the Torso"

We can train with him, show him a couple tricks we already know how to counter, and make nice.

>>23438771

"apology accepted." shake his hand.

"what made you choose The Lotus?"

stay suspicious of him but stay civil.

>>23438771
"It admit it angered me at the time, but don't worry, I do not hold a grudge against you for that. So apologies don't change much.
I'd rather know why you dismissed me then and changed your mind now."

>>23438914
Why would we want to train him before establishing any trust with him? Til then I don't see him going for it.

>>23438871
This.

>>23438906
He does it every single thread. Votes are his fetish.

>>23438947

among other things.

>>23438945
Agreed. Right now we should just be civil.

>>23438826
This.
"accidentally" rub our nuts on him when we go for the takedown

>>23438993
Oh for christs sake.

>>23438993
>letting Sanjay know that we're a half-incubus, giving him ammunition to use against us by telling Dextra and Nemesis.

Let's not.

>>23438771

Having Sanjay be a friend/neutral is much better than being an enemy. Be courteous, try a bit of niceness just to see if he's still a dick.

>>23438993
Right, we still need to figure out how to avoid getting bound through our demonic heritage. And I have no idea how your comment reminded me of that Snapple.

>>23438993
God dammit Snapple.
What kind of odd fucking asylumn are you typing from that rubbing our balls on anyone started seeming like a good idea?

>>23439012
>>23439006
Our dick is huge though? I thought it would've been obvious we're packing by now.

"Apology accepted," you say, offering a hand to shake. He hesitates, then shakes it. "Why did you end up picking Lotus?"

"I'm already talented at teleportation. Lotus provides much more opportunity to expand and improve myself. If you'll excuse me, I would like to meditate some more."

What do you do now?

>>23439049
It's large, not huge, and it's large by real-world standards, not hentai standards.

Also, here's a basic heart tattoo design I made.
Each letter in it could be a permanent healing focus, as well as the outline itself.
Of course we wouldn't enchant them all at once, it just gives us something to do when we have a spot of free time.

Not going to put much input into what goes over the other chakra points, but this one should go on the heart point.

>>23439061
Ask to join him in meditation.

>>23439061
"Of course." do we need to talk to Carl for anything?

>>23439061
Hmm, I think we can conclude that he's only doing the minimum required to ensure that we don't cause problems for him. He certainly isn't interested in being friends.

Let him get back to his meditation.

>>23439061
i bet he stole our thoughts with that handshake and is trying to meditate on what he learned. SNEAKY BASTARD

>>23439080
No. But I laughed.

>>23439061
Punch bells

>>23439061
"Have fun, make friends, don't be afraid to ask for help, we're all Students here.

If you ever want to practice martial arts and hand to hand combat just let me know, I'll be more than willing to help."

Then let him get to his meditation. Get some meditation in ourself.

>>23439080
Forgot to say, I just used 'power' as a text placeholder. It can say anything else.

>>23439012
>"How do you figure out who's got demon ancestry?" you ask, trying to keep the worry out of your voice. Liz gives you a little look out of the corner of her eye.

">Oh, there are spells and items that can reveal them," he says, giving a smile. "No need to worry about them hiding. Plus, the school keeps a record of the parentage of all current and former students. That's very important for the prestige societies based on families of mages, and really helps Dextra Domini out too."

I think Dextra already knows about us.

Though I think we should ask Petrov to make sure. Maybe he erased us from the record to protect his secret regarding Dimitry.

>>23439103
Agreed. Hell, personally I think he joined Lotus to shield himself from us. Which is a problem.

>>23439080
That's dumb. That is a really, really dumb tattoo. If I saw someone wearing that on any location of their body in any circumstance regardless of who they were, I would point and laugh at them for having such a stupid looking tattoo.

I would take pictures, and post them to /b/ for further shaming.

>>23439109
So he just learned we are conflicted over vicariously getting fucked by our unknowing father while unable to escape? Shit we probably gave the kid nightmare.

>>23439080
that's retarded tat, not something you'd want around after 10 min

>>23439061
"Are you being dismissive because that's the only way you know how to behave around people, or is it just for me ?"

>>23439125
Out of curiosity why didn't you make the heart's outline out of text?

>>23439109
I'd laugh hysterically.

He'd relive the sensation, cum in his pants, and then have an ADDITIONAL layer of confusion to figure out whether or not the pleasure/shame are his or Max's or Breakfast's.

>>23439061
meditate beside him but actualy try and read that nerds thoughts

>>23439173
Don't do that, that is a terrible idea when we have no idea of his mental protections and we're in the Lotus Sanctum.

>>23439170
I thought it would look too unstable.

>>23439173
That's a terrible idea.

we can go with Celtic knots in black then word over top of them in white/uv

>>23439173
No mind reading, yet. Given how much of a head start he had coming in I would be shocked if his mind is unprotected. We can antagonize him later.

>>23439202

Let's go talk with Carl.
I want to ask him how the society would react if I defended a friend from another society member.
I also want him to recommend us a martial arrts teacher.

So what do you guys actually do?

>>23439112
>>23439134
>>23439154
Ya'll is tasteless.

>>23439221
Actually, a martial arts instructor that encorporates enchantment and/or alchemy into their fighting style would be very useful.

>>23439221
I don't think the former is applicable anymore. At the very least he seems to want to play nice for the time being.

You sit down next to Sanjay to do some more meditating too.

What do you meditate on?

>>23439353
Alchemy

>>23439249
meditate on speed as far from sanjay as to not look like we are activly avoiding him but not near him because obviously hes keeping his enemies closer than the friends he doesn't have

>>23439353

>>23439478
You make some progress with Alchemy, examining your own understanding of it and reassessing your past experiences. As you're finishing up, Lin comes and taps you on the shoulder. "Hey, you left really early this morning," she says. "I would have thought you would have wanted to spend some extra time at home. What's up?"

What do you say?

>>23439571
Well, since we've come to terms with it to some degree, we can talk about it without snapping. Might as well have a conversation with Lin about it.

>>23439571
"Bitch, you call me master or I teach you to call me master."

Raise your pimp hand high.

>>23439571
"I needed to get out of the house."

Leave it at that.

>>23439571
I magiced at the wrong time and got a facefull of dad via Breakfast uplink.

>>23439587
No talking about it here, maybe later when we're back at the tower.

For now just tell her we had some stuff to work through and meditation on, so we came here for a while.

>>23439571
Evasive non answer. We shall never talk about our weird and creepy experience with dad with anyone other than Liz.

>>23439571
Nothing much.

I wanted to talk with some people here. Pavana mostly.
I learned some more about tattoos. Do you want to hear ?
By the way, what were you meditating on this morning ? You looked pretty absorbed.

>>23439587
>>23439597
No discussing our dad outside the house, fucks sake people how many times do we have to go through this.

>>23439597
>>23439587
Don't talk about Breakfast outside the tower you fools!

>>23439571
"I'll explain later. Sensitive subject."
Divert her attention to whatever she was meditating on this morning and other things.

>>23439587
Our dad is suppose to be dead and (if I remember the contract correctly) we literally cannot let anyone learn of his existence who doesn't already. So no we can't talk about it here.

>>23439571
"Had an odd experience this morning, needed some fresh air, I'll tell you more about it later.

What have you been working on lately anyways?"

>>23439597
>>23439587
We do not mention Breakfast, Dad, or anything along those lines if we are not behind wards.

>>23439587
We don't discuss of our home here, and I don't think we should talk about this with Lin.
Just because we can talk about it doesn't mean it's not private.

>>23439630
>I'll tell you more about it later.
>>23439623
>I'll explain later.
There's no need to talk about it, so let's not talk about it.

>>23439571
"Can't talk about it here, but I just needed to get out of the house."

>>23439571
"I had some...issues...I needed to work out."

>>23439571
Fem, how loosely can we interpret
>3. Max will shield Dimitry from discovery by his enemies.
And holy fucking shit Snapple wrote half our demonic pact!

I'm suspicious of Lin. She should know better than talk about stuff like this here.

>>23439679
>And holy fucking shit Snapple wrote half our demonic pact!
Yeah... I wrote an alternative pact that no one paid attention to and I'm still frustrated about it

>>23439680
Hey, I still think Lin is a body jumping phycho-parasitic entity instead of an awakened reincarnating human. But that's just me and the fact we have her character sheet,

>>23439679
Considering we don't know any of his enemies that don't already exist its probably a moot point besides not telling Dextra.

>>23439680
She didn't actually give anything away though. It's going to be assumed that we have some sort of home somewhere.

"I'll talk to you about it later," you say.

"Ah. Gotcha," she says, nodding.

"So, what were you working on this morning?" you ask. "You seemed pretty into it."

"Boosted perception. It's not a huge change, but it makes me feel so much more present, like I'm on a party drug or anything. More vivid colors, I can feel my clothes against my skin, that kind of thing. Know what I mean?"

"Yeah, I picked that up earlier in the week too."

What do you do now?

>>23439680
It's pretty much an open secret at this point that us, Liz, and Lin live together. Anyone who paid any sort of attention would have worked it out.

>>23439643
Why can we never ever talk about it, as you seem to be saying? I get not talking about it where we currently are, but, of all people, Lin would be the least disturbed by this. I fail to see why this incident is so sensitive. As Max herself said, stranger things have happened. We took it up the ass from our pet, and reduced Lin into a drooling mess on the floor with enchantment magic. Having a spell go a little screwy is hardly something to never speak of, like we...well, fucked the dog.

>>23439680
All she asked was why we left home early. I fail to see how this is anything sensitive.

>>23439705
I'm still annoyed that people ignored the whole "become immune to mind control" exploit.

>>23439679
I don't know if it matters at all, but right before fem accepted my pact I tried to add in "make efforts" right after 'will' so that it could be loose, but it didn't actually make it into his post.
So it's probably not actually part of the pact.

>>23439723
Hey Lin, do you want to learn martial arts ?
I want to ask Carl if there's a good teacher here.

>>23439723
We got some meditation in, we made the rounds, I can't think of anything else we need Lotus help for.

So let's head on home, but take the long route home so we can explore some and work up a good sweat.

>>23439723
Sit here and force ourselves to come up with tattoo designs so that we aren't a walking organ fridge for any dickbag that knows how to teleport things.

>>23439731
>Why can we never ever talk about it, as you seem to be saying?
Because it's not a pleasant memory, and there's no point in discussing it. Also, I don't want dad to end up learning about it during pillowtalk with liz.

those rolls reminds me of blorp...

>>23439758
We are still using the Anon Array right?

>>23439723
tell her sanjay is now part of the lotus family

>>23439723
Well, she seems to have just got here, so I guess we should do something here together. Would she be willing to spar?

I get the feeling that we should work on both the tats and improving our martial capabilities.

>>23439758
I think we should discuss it with Liz.

>>23439827
This is not a bad idea. Support

>>23439827
Indeed, we don't want to get a design that Liz doesn't even like.

So is there some kind of consensus on what to do next?

>>23439988
I suggested heading home, but I'm also fine with sparring some with Lin, teaching her some martial arts, this is a good place for it.

>>23439988

Tip her about Sanjay, then head home.

Perhaps we should try and get some information on Dextra Domini; we're going to be fighting them sooner or later.

>>23440001
The lesson hasn't started yet, right? Or am I misinterpreting something

>>23440001
If we're going home ask Sanchez if he's going to be here all the time.

>>23439988
Mention Sanjay to her, then head home, unless she wants us to stick around for something.

>>23439988
If we're going to do something while we're here, we should spar with Lin, or get lessons from someone willing to teach. Really, we don't have anything else to do while we're here. If she doesn't want to, we might as well go home or go exploring.

Can we get Lin's stat sheet? We aren't close to getting anything, but is she is, we could help her.
Also: FUCK CAPTCHA!!!

>>23439988
how many students are left by now?

>>23439988
Go see Carl to get a martial arts teacher.
Ask Liz if she wants lessons too.
Ask Carl about his stance regarding helping a friend against an aggression from another Lotus member.

>>23440036
kind close to alchemy, but i think we should fill in that second conjuration box

>>23439827
+1 from me too

also say something "romantic" while talking to her like she does have as much right to our body as us to hers.

i wonder if a tattoo ring is a thing of couples.

>>23440099
If we get lines of text tattooed, I want to offer her to write the text.

>>23440037
Most of them. You left home at, like, 7:00 this morning. You showed up before the actual session had really even started.

>>23440167
how are Liz and Lin at conjuration? Is Lin better than us or worse?

"I'm going to talk to Carl and see if he can suggest a martial arts instructor," you say to her.

"Yeah, that's not really this place's focus, but they should have at least one master dedicated to that, all things considered," says Lin. "I'm going to meditate, maybe chat with people."

You walk on up to Carl. "Ah, Max. Was there something you needed?" he asks you with that same calm smile he usually wears.

"Yeah. I was wondering if there way anyone here who could instruct us in martial arts," you say.

Carl points to a young-looking man. "Alexander Lee," he says. "Our youngest Lotus Master. Studied physical combat in every continent, master of every weapon he could get his hands on. If he can't teach you a thing or two about fighting, well, I doubt anyone can." He's lean, Asian, and he seems vaguely sharp - sharp cheek bones, sharp movements, that sort of thing. He has little scars all over, and tons of tattoos on his arms, to the point that they're basically tattoo sleeves.

"Thanks, Carl," you say.

"Don't mention it."

What do you do?

>>23440240
Lin is slightly worse than you, Liz is much better.

>>23440251
Let's go talk to Lee then.

>>23440251
If he is there, ask him for a match. If not, go home.

>>23440251
Let's go talk to this guy.
He seems like an interesting fellow.

Let's get to know him, then ask if he can spare the time for regular lessons - maybe he holds a class for multiple students ?

>>23440251
train with him
>>23440263
I'd like to fill out conjuration's second box as well as sorcery so we would be more balanced

>>23440294
>>23440251
Also, get a closer look at his tattoos, and ask if they're foci.

>>23440251
Introduce ourself to Alexander Lee, very politely, bow, ask if he could be willing to teach us.

>>23440292
I don't think we should ask for a match, he can rip our lungs out through our eyeballs, it seems presumptuous, but asking for his guidance might work.

An idea for tattoo design: Dots.

Lots of tiny, tiny dots. Each dot is enchanted to do something different. It's even more invisible than normal UV/white tattoos.

>>23440334
one on each chakra point?

>>23440347

I mean more spread out, although clusters at chakra points would work.

>>23440347

We're putting a heart on our heart chakra.

>>23440378
No we're fucking not

>>23440320
>I don't think we should ask for a match, he can rip our lungs out through our eyeballs
That's true. But on the other hand, he needs to get and idea of our talent and skills to teach us how to progress.
Maybe he will ask us to spar with another student.

>>23440388
Yes, we are. And it will be a healing focus.

>>23440378
why it wouldn't help us anymore than it normally would.

>>23440378
Y'know normally I just wouldn't even bother to reply to this kind of bullshit because I know you get a sick thrill from the negative attention, but apparently I have to or Femcock takes it as indication that everyone wants to do it.

Fucking NO.

>>23440414
>Snaptard's fetish is negative attention

You walk up to Master Lee. "My name is Max Power," you say, introducing yourself. "I heard that you were the one to talk to about martial arts training."

"Nice name," he says. His accent sound almost British, but with a large influence of, you don't know, some kind of Chinese, maybe. "I guess I'm the closest thing to a martial arts master in here. Are you interested in learning?"

"Yes," you say seriously. "Absolutely."

"Okay, then," he says, smiling. "Let's spar. I'll try to take it easy on you."

Roll Body to spar with him. You get a +1 from Durability and a +1 from Speed. I'll consider the first six 1d100 rolls linked to this post.

I think if we drop to 0 body we may die, if someone chooses to kill us in the fight.

We can use those as foci for enchanting the tattoo, as was my original plan with the Heart of Power.

Also included in enchanting it would be an ambulance, mounds of stolen medical supplies, our leftover phoenix ash, and some fresh stem cells.

He kicks the shit out of you. His skin is as unyielding as steel, and he hits like a sledgehammer. You get the distinct impression that he's doing his best to hold back too. You manage to slow him down a bit, rolling with a couple of the blows, but it's too much for you to handle. He eventually catches you in the jaw and you go out like a light.

You're not sure how much longer you wake up, but you eventually do. You have a cold pack on your head and on a few other places around your body. You also have a bandaid on one of your knuckles where you split it open. Master Lee is sitting a short distance away. "Better than most people in the first circle," he says. "Still pretty bad, though. You're at a school with people who can throw fire and teleport. If you're going to be a martial artist, you need to be a lot better. I'll teach you, but you need more tiers of augmented strength, durability, and speed first, just as a simple base line."

What do you do?

In game terms, you need Strength +2, Speed +2, and Durability +2 before he can actually teach you his custom martial art designed for superhumans.

>>23440725

>>23440725

>>23440757

>>23440725
"Thank you very much for the lesson. Ow. And thanks for taking it easy on me. I appreciate it."

Try to stand up, bow, see if we can walk properly and head home, we need some Breakfast after that.

>>23440725

>>23440800
maybe we should find a serpent(for foci) then or conjure one?

>>23440725
Thank him, be polite, then hobble home and go speed up the healing process with some Breakfast.

>>23440725
We can work on our Speed and Strength boosts as much as possible, but we need to hold off on durability until we can get the tats done.

>>23440800
If only we had a healing heart tattoo..

Wherever would we get one of those?

>>23440857
At the retard store?

>>23440725

so fem i have been thinking this for a while now.
so how does one fight like a "superhuman"?

like dragonball fast? or like MMA's just on fast forward?

You stand up on wobbly legs and he gives you a hand up. His hand is like a steel vise, holding yours like you're fragile, made of paper. "I'll come back when I'm more prepared, then. Thanks for the lesson," you say.

"Of course," he says. "You might want to look into improving your recovery time too, or at least making yourself a focus for healing spells. It's not much use in a fight, but it's great for afterwards, especially after sparring."

"I'll keep that in mind too," you say.

What now?

>>23440725
Can't we use achemy to make a quick healing focus so we have an easier time going back home. We also need to stay for our session or did we miss it?

>>23440857
would you kindly stop making suggestions
>>23440863
>"welcome Snapple's retard store where I make stupid suggestions so you don't have to!"

>>23440857
It's okay, a band-aid, a bit of blood from our mouth and a bit of disinfectant (Lin should have some in her bag), and we'll have enough foci to do without.

Permanent foci only add +1.

>>23440871
One of the big differences is the change in leverage. Just because you're super strong doesn't mean you're super heavy or can anchor yourself to the ground or anything. Getting hit with the force of a semi will still knock you flying, and you still have only your normal body weight to deal with. Torque, clinches, and so on become much more important, as does keeping your footing and rolling with attacks. There are a lot of other little adjustments like those too, but those are the big ones.

>>23440881
Damn, Snapple was right about one thing.

Lets just humour him a little and have one tatau of a hearth as a healing focus.

>>23440883
That won't help us going home. Using alchemy to make the focus will give us a point of alchemy strain which will cancel out the +1 we get from the focus if we succeed.

>>23440881
I guess we should find out how long Max was knocked out.
>>23440889
This sounds good

>>23440863
Oh boofuckinghoo.

At this point people are just calling it retarded as a circlejerk.
We could have gotten a healing focus, not even the tattoo we could have made a ring or some shit, 10 threads ago. But people keep going "hurr retarded".

>Gimping max because I hate hearts or some bullshit

>>23440903
Finally someone that isn't retarded.

>>23440881
Let's use a bandaid, some antiseptic, some blood, and use those as temporary Foci to heal ourself up with Alchemy, and then head home. We've learned a lot today and got beaten up, we need some Breakfast.

>>23440903
We don't need a healing focus, it'd be nice as a tattoo, but not needed. We should put a point of Self-Enhancement into regen time.

>>23440899
Could you overcome the problems of weight and anchoring with sorcery?

>>23440903
The appearance of the focus doesn't matter. We should make it a stylized swiss cross just so it's not a fucking heart.

>>23440903
>>23440917
Nice try Snapple, I know it is you

>>23440904
Isn't our body the problem right now? We are really hurt aren't we?

>>23440917
I hope you realize nobody has a problem with healing foci, just the dumbass design of it being a heart. Also, nice samefagging. Try changing up your post formatting next time.

>>23440899
The fact that high level Lotuses can levitate indicate that leverage can not matter that much.
With a bit of sorcery too, one can increase its inertia, right ?

>>23440917
We want a healing focus. We don't want it to be a heart because that looks silly.

Sometimes people just react that way because they just don't like you.

I just proposed the idea so we could get past the hearth point and get you back to trying to snap everyones neck.

>>23440971
you know the symbol for paramedic the one that has a rod with a single snake wrapped around that is the Rod of Asclepius. It is infinitely a better symbol than a heart and it isn't corny/cheesy as fuck.

>>23441073

>>23441149
First of all, the heart has been a symbol of health for a long time, especially in the digital age with video games and whatnot.
Second of all, I feel like the rod wouldn't look good on the chest in general.

Seriously, the heart is not a symbol of healing, especially not the anatomical one. It's a symbol of life. The Rod of Asclepius or a blue cross would be a proper symbol of healing.

>>23441184
> Not noticing the innate connection between life and healing

>>23440881
If we have any suitable temporary foci in our bag (band aids, pain killers, disinfectant) we should try healing ourself

>>23441180
only in videogames and by people who don't understand the symbolism behind it

>>23441180
>especially in the digital age with video games and whatnot.
Thats the upside down peach heart, not the anatomical one.

>>23441219
There's a difference between sustaining life and healing it. Put a heart onto an inanimate object to give it life. Putting a heart on something that's already alive is redundant.

>>23441240
If we aren't stupid, we would always have suitable temporary foci for healing ourself.

The Doctor seems to manage, and, anyway, redundant anything doesn't usually hurt.

>>23441240
I wonder if those would even count as healing foci according to some of the people in this thread.


Technically:
>Bandaids keep woulds from getting things in them, stopping them from becoming worse.

>Painkillers let you ignore injury, not heal it.

>Disinfectant prevents infections in wounds, just stopping them from getting worse.

>>23441253
>Putting a heart on something that's already alive is redundant.
I would make a joke about telling that to Link, but someone might think I agree with the heart tat, which is fucking dumb.

>>23441184
A salamander would fit better.
As a symbol, it looks better than the rod.

>>23441315
Smearing a heart on an injury doesn't treat it or help it heal, disinfectant does.

At least be smart if youre gonna be a retard.

I really hope Fem is writing up a post of us healing ourselves and not expecting something more out of us.

Whatever happened to the idea of fucking dropping it until we can discuss it with Liz?

Though when it does come time for that, I think we should bring up the idea of putting a tree somewhere on us to signify us as Grovemother to our sencond two dryad daughters. Maybe even do something to make the tattoos raised in some way so Selene can feel them

>>23441330
The first stage of healing is clotting of a wound. Eventually cells grow back to replace the damage using nutrients carried in the blood.

A heart has more to do with healing than first aid kit supplies, or did people just bleed out all the time before bandaids hit the scene?

>>23440899
Planting your feet is a big deal in boxing, and I've heard it said that it makes a boxer hit with much more force than an MMA fighter of the same weight.

I'd also imagine that high kicks would be less useful the stronger your body gets, though axe-kicks and low kicks/sweeps might still be valuable.

>>23441447
The heart doesn't help clotting. It just pumps blood out of the body if there's a hole.

>>23441470
he'srightyouknow.jpg
it id the platelets in the blood

>>23441447
>or did people just bleed out all the time before bandaids hit the scene?
Yes, before the practice of applying gauze and pressure to wounds, stuff that you would consider a moderate gash that needs some stitches would be life-threatening for a variety of reasons.

>>23441484
The things you use a Bandaid on are not wounds you bleed out from. That was the entire point of what I said.

Your body is what does the healing, not the medical supplies. Those just stop outside influence from hindering your body.

>>23441449
As an actual martial artist, I can tell you that power starts at the ground and flows through to your fist or foot. It's all about the subtle difference in technique that brings that about.

High kicks were primarily developed for dehorsing samurai in Korea, not as the primary kick technique.

>>23441447
Most people died of infection and blood loss from moderate gashes AFTER the fight rather than during it. Even up to the colonial era and the Civil War, a single shot could be the end of you thanks to infection.

And, spoilers, but smearing hearts over their injuries did nothing to stop this.

>>23441512
Actually, most bandaids have trace amounts of disinfectants and coagulants on them to stem blood loss.

And bandaids may not affect large wounds, but thats what FUCKING MAGIC is for, to MAGICALLY ENHANCE THE EFFECT of bandaids.

Magically enhancing a heart would just make you spew blood like a corpse in an anime.

Heal Max.

Everyone shut the fuck up about tattoos and shit.

>>23441521
>smearing hearts over their injuries did nothing to stop this
That's like me saying that eating bandaids doesn't do anything for the cut on your finger.

Of course you don't smear hearts on wounds.

The fact that you seem to think I believe smearing hearts on wounds would do anything is dumber than the idea of heart smearing itself.

>>23441512
Your right-ish, band aids keep cuts in a sterile environment to prevent new infections from developing while healing occurs. Just trying to think of any non-condom Heath related disposables we might reasonably be caring.

>>23441555
Judging by this post >>23441315, you seem to think human hearts have some sort of curative property to them.

>>23441579
The point of >>23441315 was that people were saying that hearts had zero symbolic link to healing. I was commenting on it being stupid for people to say a heart is unsuitable for a focus when the other things they're suggesting are equally unsuitable by their own standards.

If you want to take everything out of context then go ahead.

>>23441613
I don't even know whats going on anymore if you couldnt tell.

You grab a pain killer pill and use the bandaid on your knuckle as a temporary focus.

Roll Alchemy to cast a healing spell. You get a +2 from the temporary foci. I'll consider the first four linked 1d100 rolls.

>>23441632
Whether or not it's a good idea, you're still shitting up the thread by arguing about it.

>>23441632
