Quick Poll on ability choices for AA5 (Spoilers!)
🕑 Added 2025-04-01 17:22:21 +0000 UTCHey guys, I'm doing a quick poll to see what you're leaning toward. As you saw in the title, this poll has minor spoilers for an upcoming chapter, but I wanted to feel you out. I think I know what people will pick, but I want to be sure I'm not way out of sync, as that has happened before, like with the accelerata race choice.
Yes, Carter will be getting another signature skill. It was always going to happen, since Carter still has way too many abilities for me to use them all in a fight. Gotta squash them down to something simpler but more flexible, like I did for Incarnation of the Apocalypse Dragon.
Also, feel free to post any thoughts or ideas not on this list in the comments below.
I do want to get this chapter done by tomorrow though, so if you post your cool idea in three days, I'll happily read it, but it won't have much impact on the story.

When every being relies on vast stores of mana and having an army, having a supply of machines that do an army's job so your army stays healthy and fit is demoralizing for enemies.

While the last option sounds super fun, and the fate magic is always strong 💪, Carter has been focusing on his magitech a LOT lately. He hasn't been getting much action lately, so that one doesn't make sense at the moment. And having Fate stay a passive ability, in my opinion, prevents Carter from utterly breaking the universe. If he could cast Fate magic, I think it severely lowers the risk factor for him and would thus make high stakes chapters feel less important. Having Carter pick up the magitech skills with all the work he's been doing just makes perfect sense. 👌
