Personality Priority

[IraMorti]

Does anyone know if personalities have a priority weight on them, or is it just whatever was last applied?

So I know there are four personality types - Champion, Dark Knight, Cunning, and Bimbo. Does Dark Knight always have priority or can Cunning/Bimbo overwrite if applied after you hit enough corruption to establish Dark Knight? Say I maxed corruption, then reset my points and got Cunning again, or got the Bimbo trait... will I get those over the Dark Knight personality? Or can you get both cunning and dark knight lines if you are both, but options aren't mutually exclusive (dialogue has dark knight variant, but not a cunning so dk procs - then another piece of dialogue has a cunning variant but not a dark knight so you proc cunning.) Does the Circlet of Clarity overwrite Dark Knight?

Just wondering if anyone has tested this already.

I think it goes Dark knight, Bimbo, Cunning, Champion, but I'm very possibly wrong, I havent done any proper testing of this

I am almost positive that bimbo overrides all other personalities (at least it did when I tested it with my Dark Knight and Clementine's Appearance). Bimbo description appeared instead of DK description.

I have never used a Cunning parser though, only [pc.dcb]. You can always use [pc.isDK], [pc.isBimbo], or [pc.isChamp] and then couch the others in those parsers if for some reason you wanted a specific breakdown or lineup.

How do you get the Cunning personality? Wasn't aware that there was a fourth personality

It depends on the parser!

Let's say you're playing a character who was at 90 Corruption, but then has reduced that Corruption down to 50 and taken their double tap of Bimbo Brew, and you currently have a maxed out Cunning stat.

You still have the Dark Knight personality due to not having reduced yourself down enough Corruption to trigger the changeback to Champion, but you do ALSO have both the Bimbo and Cunning personalities concurrently! Meaning, if you enter a parser callout that uses [pc.isDK], you'll get that. If the same paragraph later uses [pc.isCunning], you'd get that too; if that SAME PARAGRAPH later has [pc.isBimbo], why you'd get that too. In essence you CAN be a Darkly Cunning Bimbo... but it's pretty rare to get that kind of triple threat in one paragraph because [pc.dcbc] exists.

Within the [pc.dcbc|dark|champ|bimbo|cunning] parser you would indeed get prioritized to Bimbo. If you were not a Bimbo, you would be prioritized to Cunning. DK/Champ, being the most "generic," get lowest priority in that parser.

My Champ is a Cunning Bimbo and it's quite funny, imo, for her to occasionally go from giggling brainlet to suddenly firing on all neurons when the opportunity to be snarky comes up. Some habits never die even after chugging a double helping of magic brainmelting juice.

Something about that parser not having the highest priority one on either end of it causes me psychic damage
