Certain skills, such as disguise, state they grant the user a E-rank action. Do these actions count against the 1 art/post rule? When using these actions, are there sword art-like glows? What is the difference between a sword art and a sword art-like action is pretty much what I'm asking.

Lysander: always

Lysander: yeah stun is full body
3 Apr 13, 12:01 AM
Yuki: Because the description still indicates a chance for a stun not to occur. Blaaaaaaargh.
3 Apr 13, 12:01 AM
Yuki: Or just one limb?
3 Apr 13, 12:01 AM
Yuki: And stuns are full-body automatically?

Lysander: while stun is one time thing

Lysander: and paralysis goes over time
3 Apr 13, 12:00 AM

Yuki: I swear I've asked this question before and understood it then, but I don't get it.

Yuki: What's the difference between stun and paralysis? @__@;
2 Apr 13, 11:58 PM
Lysander: yes?
2 Apr 13, 11:58 PM
Yuki: Also hi!

Yuki: I have a question I was hoping you could answer for me?

Stun - Full body, costs more special points to last longer than paralysis. Harder to place than paralysis, you -cannot- move. Putting more points in this increases the chance for the stun to land and the duration of the stun. (Think pokemon sleep/frozen status?)

Paralysis - Can be just one limb, can last more than 1 round. Easier to place than paralysis, even if paralysis hits the opponent and activates, there is a chance they will still be able to move. There is a chance for them to be paralyzed and not be able to move and a chance for them to be paralyzed and move (think Pokemon paralysis).

No, they still count as 1 art per post rule. It's stated that it allows you to change your physical and facial features for 1 post, plus 1 post for every 100 points in the skill.

There also shouldn't need to be sword-art-glows unless a weapon is used. Not all of these skills require weapon usage so it acts like a e-rank sword art in the sense of how long the ability lasts.

Hope that answered your question!

STUN. Stun effects have the chance to prevent the target's next action. The chance varies in likelihood depending on the composite between the two targets.

PARALYSIS. Paralysis effects have the chance to paralyse the target, which prevents total movement for a period of time. The chance varies in likelihood depending on the composite level between the two targets.

Stun disrupts the next action, meaning it probably lasts less than a single post. Duration for it doesn't really make sense. Rather I feel that we should make it so that more specials increase the chance of a Stun. Stun is in a sense, an interruption.

Paralysis can work as an interruption, but it then goes beyond that and keeps the target paralyzed for a duration and/or affect more of the target's body.

My two cents.
