So a guy on r/makeyourchoice just gave me an excellent example of the degree of scrutiny we’ve been discussing. Let me post verbatim a response he requested for a list of questions he gave me.
————-
CYOAs don’t have to have been posted here to count, no.
… I hadn’t considered that you could use One In A Billion to get to other worlds, since the one in the base CYOA is locked to this one. If you get planes walking another way I’d say it would work, but at base level, no dice.
Our House would combine with One In A Billion, yes.
… I suppose One In A Million could link to these worlds yes, but only after you’d already traveled to them via VKTRS once (well done on busting the limit within a few options!) It also wouldn’t work by default, you’d have to explicitly allow it with your powers.
No getting things from other worlds via your demense or making more demense land in them - at least from VKTRS, any other dimension hopping you do/get might work. Using Turn To Stone to replicate things from other worlds…. Yes, WITHIN REASON. Remember the limits built in to the power.
Addict would have mild-to-moderate anime logic/toonforce applications, albeit often in ways you don’t expect - but that make you look good.
1. Yes, within reason. A guy who trains for a decathlon won’t turn into Goku for example.
2. …. It’s kind of on a case by case basis? It’d take a geologist to be very specific, but let’s just say… if a bystander would call it stone or crystal, it’d probably be fine. But likewise if a bystander calls it metal, no dice. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but again, geologist.
3. Anything portrayed as a moving story/film on a screen is fair game. In the replica world example, it would fall under the ‘tech/magic doesn’t work’ rules and not be effective, the knowledge you learned super-fast would fade instantly when you left. Any advancements you make wouldn’t carry over, as they would count as being in the movie world, and thus trigger the ‘nothing but memories’ rule. If you hypothetically went into a movie world and slowly designed new technology EXACTLY as you would in this world, with NO supernatural help or aid from ANYBODY within, then yes it would still work. But under those circumstances, why did you need to go into the movie world in the first place?
4. Base level power is just this world, there’s one loophole described above.
5. Hard no to pretty much all of these. If you had built in scanners or extra senses you could use them, but no nano machine shenanigans, or replicating tech or taking computer knowledge out. And no ‘I’m a transformer who can make more transformers’, won’t work.
6. I don’t think you could use this corrosion to forgive bodily need completely, but you could probably surpress/reuse them for a while before the loop died out and you were left with nothing. It only works on sentient beings to a minor extent, with extreme practice and effort you could maybe take a year or two off a person once, but that’s it.
7. ….. I lean towards no, you’d have to be more personally involved in killing a being for Godhunter to work, a missile you shot would just be a missile, not a supernatural god killing missile. I know bullets are explicitly allowed, but that’s different - for one thing you still need to be able to see a being to hit them with a bullet, and that’s not necessary with a missile as long as you know there general direction.
Thanks for all the questions!
