For any questions not answered on the FAQ, please ask them here!


List of previously asked questions:

• What are the limits of appable characters assuming we do want to app an existing Etrian Odyssey character (NPC)? Or is anyone who isn't already a Labyrinthian NPC fair game?


• For the classes with animal ears, do characters get those ears too if they become that class?


• Will oversized or undersized characters be adjusted to an ordinary human size range?
  
  Will significantly nonhumanoid characters (talking animals, etc.) be humanized?
  
  Will characters who are approximately humanoid but have anatomical differences that grant them different mundane physical abilities retain those abilities, or will they be limited to strictly human ability?


• Can characters bring multiple animal companions and switch them before entering the labyrinth as a companion for the Rover Class?


• ...how exactly do they know what skills they have? Is it like a menu or just innate knowledge?


• ...would a WoW MMO character (like the ones you create) count as an OC? I know some folks count them as fandom OCs, hence my curiosity.


• Hypothetically, if these two gremlins didn't believe the NPC's were real and wanted to test their reactions to say, getting a pebble thrown at them (just to hit, not to hurt), what would be their reaction?

What are the limits of appable characters assuming we do want to app an existing Etrian Odyssey character (NPC)? Or is anyone who isn't already a Labyrinthian NPC fair game?

[labyrinthian_mods]

NPCs, whether they have been reused as Labyrinthian NPCs or not are fair game as long as they have enough personality/canon to be considered appable.

The NPCs in game are cobbled together, sometimes with names switched around and personalities fiddled with to fit with what we wanted to do with the game so they're not all exactly like the originals except in face. So we don't really see it as a problem if someone wanted to app them as actual characters in game.

For the classes with animal ears, do characters get those ears too if they become that class?

[labyrinthian_mods]

That's up to player discretion. If they want to have the ears they can.

[unwantedtwin]

Okay! Thank you for the response!

What happens with characters who don't physically fall within human norms? Specifically:

1. Will oversized or undersized characters be adjusted to an ordinary human size range?

2. Will significantly nonhumanoid characters (talking animals, etc.) be humanized?

3. Will characters who are approximately humanoid but have anatomical differences that grant them different mundane physical abilities retain those abilities, or will they be limited to strictly human ability? The character this journal is for, for instance, has prehensile antennae in addition to her normal limbs--would she still be able to use those, or would they become nonfunctional or disappear? (I promise I'm not trying to create a loophole, I'm just asking.)

1. Oversized characters will be sized down. The height limit will be 3 meters as the maximum height. As for undersized characters, that we will leave to the discretion of players. While there will be some variations to what goes on in the game, fighting will be a big part of that. If you feel like the size won't affect a character in this area then it's fine to keep them at the same size. If not, it is an option to change their size to something closer to human size as well!

2. Again, this is something we leave to player discretion. If the player wishes to keep playing them as nonhumanoid that's fine, but if the player wants to humanize them that's fine too. While weapons need thumbs to handle, it's perfectly fine to adapt weapons to suit a shape without thumbs. For example, we can take cues from Amaterasu from Okami.

3. Those sorts of abilities can absolutely be kept! (And no worries! Thank you for the question and being so thorough about how you asked it!)

Thank you!

Question from here

A couple of questions re: pets, and the rover class.

Marnie is a pokemon trainer, and I'd likely be taking her from the end of sword and shield-so she has a full team. Morpeko is the only pokemon she absolutely needs to bring, but I was wondering if she could bring more than one? And, if so, could she switch which is her Rover companion between them while not in the labyrinth (or while within, but I assume that one's definitely a no-go.)

Mod Answer:

It would be fine for her to bring in more than one and she can definitely switch between them while not in the labyrinth! But yes, switching within the labyrinth is a no-go and the rest of the team who is not currently acting as her companion are subject to the usual restrictions (i.e. not being able to leave the town).

Hi! I'm pretty sure I didn't see this addressed anywhere but how exactly do they know what skills they have? Is it like a menu or just innate knowledge?

[labyrinthian_mods]

Hello! They know it innately, but once they can open the menu and see their status they can also see it listed!

[protectthecastle]

Perfect, thank you!

Question from here

...would a WoW MMO character (like the ones you create) count as an OC? I know some folks count them as fandom OCs, hence my curiosity.

Mod Answer:

Discussing between us we can't seem to agree on a label for that situation. But in terms of app-ability they would be treated as OCs and can be apped to the game due to the nature of a game like WoW.

Question from here

Hypothetically, if these two gremlins didn't believe the NPC's were real and wanted to test their reactions to say, getting a pebble thrown at them (just to hit, not to hurt), what would be their reaction?

Mod Answer:

In that case the pebbled would just bounce off and they will continue as if nothing had happened!
