Correct me if I'm wrong, but wizard allies can share a spellbook.

Four schoolgirl wizards sharing a single spellbook are friends with eachother and one [love interest?] duskblade protector = instant anime plot


......

You ****er

I want to play that as a game now

---------

Okay, so the purpose of this thread is to come up with low-level party builds (ideally 1st level) such that they become an "instant anime plot".

Have fun!

How many levels of tsundere do I take as a mahou shoujou wizard with long, black hair, glasses, and kendo skills?

How long do you think it'll be before someone says something to the effect of

"ToB /thread"

If you add Wild Cohort via feats, flaws, or use the ACF that grants an animal companion instead of a familiar, you pretty much have summoned magical animals who guard and protect their squishy caster masters, the basic premise of Zero No Tsukaima.

*snip*Just because it's wuxia doesn't make it an anime plot, as the closest to that would be what? Kenshin?

Maybe mechas can be built by encasing yourself in an astral construct?

Heck if I know how people come to that conclusion but they do.

I understand some people even say it's a bit too wuxia too.:smallamused:

Rowdy, exotic magical girl archer.


Elf Cleric 1 CG
(28 point buy)

Str 10
Dex 16
Con 10
Int 10
Wis 15
Cha 14

Diety: Solonor Thelandira
Domains: Elf and War

Saves: 2/ 3/ 4

Cleric 1 Turn Undead, Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus (longbow), Rapid Shot

2 attacks at +2/+2

*Note: If you fear to have no target to choose that aren't engaged in melee, you should consider, to avoid the nasty -4 penality for shooting a creature engaged in melee (plus the chance to actually hit the party member engaged with it) replacing the Rapid Shot feat by the Precise Shot one. You'll loose an attack, but will fire at +4, even if the creature is engaged, with no chance to hit a friend doing so. Then when you reach 3rd level, just take Rapid shot as your new feat.

A party journey's to a city to fight other parties in competition to find 7 cubes that will summon the Death god to grant the winners wishes. In an all out fight to the death to determine who is the Ultimate Fighter.

Fate/Zero, DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, and YuYu Hakisho, eat your heart out.

Even better. Make those spells tattooed onto the body of a male wizard. :smallamused:

You could have each of them specialize in one school of magic and make each of them ban two of the schools others are specialized in. Creating a circle. And like any good anime you could color code their hair.

Or you could let three of the girls specialize in one school and ban two those of the other girls and let one of them specialize in divination, banning an entire different school. That would make the diviner the leader.

Another idea might be to have the leader/one of the girls have [Item Familiar] with the familiar being the spell book they share.

from the anime i've seen, having a wisdom of 15 would be too much for them, having a 4 seems about right though.

Oh my, I do like the overall idea of this thread.
Ahem, let me give it a try.

A typical party, consisting of an dwarf fighter, an elven wizard, a human cleric, a rogue and a warrior (yes, he sucks that hard), has a really kind DM and in their campaign they fight for the protection of the kingdom against a blackguard and his monstrous humanoid army.
*Record of Lodoss War (http://myanimelist.net/anime/207/Lodoss-tou_Senki)*

This one was pretty straightforward. Let me do another one:
A powerful Glabrezu with Soul Eater levels has various simulacrums of himself polymorphed into strange catlike creatures. Said simulacrums roam the earth, offering wishes for commoner girls in exchange for "becoming a magical warrior". If they accept to make a contract, the girls get their souls ripped and placed inside gems, becoming Liches. They then must do his bidding and fight against gruesome and evil beings called witches, or perish and suffer.

Btw, on a side note:

How many levels of tsundere do I take as a mahou shoujou wizard with long, black hair, glasses, and kendo skills?

Sire, this is outright the most awesome post on this thread.

Edit: Just fixed some grammar mistakes. Curse my flurry of misstyping.

I'm surprised nobody has done this one yet ...

In a world where magic is commonplace young spellcasters are all obsessed with the sport of summon monster battling. Using spells like the summon monster and planar binding line, these young spellcasters set off into the wild and journey from city to city to battle the gym leaders that must be defeated in order to reach the monster battle league. However, not all is well in the world for as these spellcasters fight to claim the title of summon monster master the evil Team Spelljammer plots to steal all the rare and powerful summons and use them to take over the world. Now, the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of a young monster battler sorcerer and his loyal dire rat. Can they save the world from Team Spelljammer and their evil plots?

So painfully obvious, no? Also, somebody should make a wizard who keeps his spellbook in the form of a deck of children's trading cards....and then make his caster enemies do the same. Whenever they go to fight they should actually play out that children's trading card game with their spells...and do it as dramatic as possible. They should draw, but no draw should be random; they will always hand pick the exact card/spell they need. Do that and you have the start of "Yugioh- The RPG"

Also, am I the only one here who wants to see Lucy from Elfin Lied stated out?

Wasn't Record of Lodoss War actually based on a light novel which was itself based on one of the author's D&D campaigns? We've gone full circle on this one.

Characters start off as ToB Initiator classes, then have a random lycanthropy where they transform when doused with cold/hot water. Role percentiles on what their alternate form is. Opposite gender is on the list.

Female Warlock character has strange powers she has yet to fully master or even be aware of. Has a crush on a male Swordsage.

Yep, you are right, it indeed is. I just kinda felt like that someone would mention it sooner or later, so I decided to do it sooner :smallbiggrin:
Thats why I also felt like it was necessary to create a proper one based in
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
