Oh neat, I completely missed that post. I guess it's just a matter of waiting to see if we can actually grant companion wishes then.
PLAN B
- Thread starter B
- Start date
As Tide Hunter said, Oma 'cannot infringe her will upon another person's sovereignty,' meaning she can't make someone do something. She is bound by the rules of the lamp to distinctly not be able to do anything to anyone, and that includes everything from killing someone to moving them from one location to another.
This limitation is why you can't simply wish for Calla to be back: Oma says that Calla being 'in a different dimension' is too broad a definition and it could take her an eternity to find which dimension she's in, and even if she did find her, she'd be unable to move Calla back because of the previous rule.
For the pregnancy thing: Oma technically could make a baby, and go through the whole gestation process and everything - but the baby would be an extension of herself rather than a living creature with its own soul. She mentions in Quinn's wish that wishing for a family with Oma is asking for heartbreak, because none of it would be real: Oma's love for her 'husband' would be compelled by the desires of whoever possesses the lamp rather than a real, organic thing between two adults. Likewise, any kids you have with her wouldn't be real, either.
When you introduce a wish granting character into a story you always run the risk of said character either being too powerful or so limited that they're useless, but it's cool to see that you've apparently hit a good balance with Oma. Most of the wishes do seem to be pretty useful, and the rules make enough sense that I can't see people really complaining about Oma not being able to magically solve everything. I'll look forward to seeing her complete and in-game, whenever that is.
Just for fun, what would happen if we made some sort of wacky bullshit wish like "I wish an active volcano appeared beneath the cultist base."
Yeah, but in this instance she wouldn't be messing with individual sovereignty, she'd be messing with the ground. Maybe I don't want to kill the cultists, maybe I just think volcanoes are neat and their base just so happens to be the ideal spot for one.
I still have a bad cough but I'm feeling much better, so I updated Oma with 1,000 words! This does the 'bad' wish for if you wish for more inventory space.
I've been hung up on the wishes for most of the year; once I write this 'good' wish, they'll finally be done!
(With the exception of wishing for her freedom and wishing for sex, but I'm looking forward to those, while the rest was all just busywork)

So a liberated Oma will grant you the rest of your wishes without any kind of kink?
The champion desires overwhelming power or superior knowledge.
If Oma is not released she will give you a lot of data, garbage anecdotes if you choose wisdom and if you choose strength she will transmit a disease that will last a week debuff arguing 'What does not kill you will make you stronger'
If Oma is set free released it gives you an extra point in the strength or cunning stats depending on what you chose, it would be a method to compensate not being able to reach maximum strength or cunning unlike the other attributes that can be done through start character creation.
Lyric max thic Booba I see it as impossible, I think that making corporeal changes to others would go against the rules but what if the person in question wants it?

Yes, wishing for Oma's freedom first will grant you your wishes without any strings attached. Doing otherwise will punish your hubris with every wish.
Wishing for stat increases was hard 'no'd by Savin during the pitch. Coming up with wishes that we could give the player, which were all strong but not overpowered, was a bit challenging!
Oma cannot make any changes to anyone, regardless of whether or not they want it. She 'cannot infringe on a person's sovereignty;' there is no clause about whether or not a person wants it, she just straight-up can't do it. She can, however, do whatever you ask to herself, if she likes you, which was meant to be the appeal for her sex scenes: she can be anything the writer wants.
Updated Oma with 1,200 words! This finishes the good wish for having more inventory space. The only wish left to write is her freedom - I'm looking forward to being done with this segment of her content!
When Oma is released, is there a possibility that one of the wishes will be to ask for a weapon? there is no need to create a new one there are many existing weapons in the game that are not accessible to the player.
And if it is possible that it is not a sword, almost all elemental weapons are two-handed swords, something for dual wield or more variety of axes and spears would be nice.
For example
Ancient-Hewer or Nightfang: Moreeee axess
Gittern: for charmers
Royal Greatspear or Silver cestus: Punch ghosts

Updated Oma with 1,000 words! This update gets started on wishing for Oma's freedom. There are lots of variables for if you're bimbo; if you're corrupted; if you have any points in Cunning (which is a very low bar); and if you have any wishes remaining. The goal is, if you're Bimbo, you stumble your words into wishing for her freedom without burning any remaining wishes; if you're not and you have basically any points in Cunning, you phrase it more deliberately. You only fail if you're playing a very low Cunning not-Bimbo PC.
The plan was for Oma to be the weapon: if you wish for her freedom, she'd hang around you as a pair of earrings that you could tap at any time to speak with her, and you could also equip her as a weapon in combat. Her rules would still apply: she can't directly harm someone, but if she happens to transform into a sword, and you happen to swing her, and she happens to hit somebody, then that's hardly her fault.
That said, I was thinking of changing this to something else. We already have tons of unique weapons; maybe something more defensive, like a shield or a cape, would be better.
Maybe gauntlets or something? There's a major dearth of unique options in the hands slot. There's so many options for the cape slot it's already hard to choose (and with how fucking sweet the story behind the cloak of the deeps is, I have a hard time seeing myself ever dropping it). Necklace would also be a fantastic option, there's quite a few unique options on the neck slot, but for tanky characters they're kinda pushed into non-uniques like the fluffy scarf, so it would be cool to have a new option there. Other than that, the only slot lacking interesting options I can think of is the feet, and a girl turning into footwear feels... weird unless you're going for a very specific vibe lmao.
The least options you have in the game are the footwear of the feet, perhaps a good interaction in the silly mode.
Oma: Use me whenever you want champion
Champion: Oh great.... another one with podophilia... (Orgasmic noises when walking with Oma turned into shoes)
Gauntlets won't work; you have to consider the generic attack text when writing weapons, and "you unsheath your gauntlets" and "you swing your gauntlets at the enemy" doesn't invoke the imagery they're set up for. This is why being totally unarmed gives you a rusty knife instead of your fists.
Everything else is worth considering, though.
May I suggest a necklace?
The only really interesting (and let's be frank, useful) one is the Amulet or Transference/Union, which you lose if you want Kiyoyko to be free. We already have quite the collection of unique equipment for every other slot (even belts, Jesus) but necklaces are rather rare honestly.
to be honest, I would kill for a one-handed magic damage weapon, I do not build my physical stats please don't make me useless while my magic is in cooldown
What, you mean things like the Divine Blossom, Fire Wand, Metal Wand, and Seasonal Rhapsody? They're all one-handed weapons that deal magical damage. Unfortunately, as weapons, they scale based off of attack power, and given that, I doubt we'll get any other weapon that does magic damage and scales off of spellpower instead.
From B's comment which started this whole thread:
So, presumably, given that's the main plan.
I meant that scale from spell power yes, its already coded tho, a companion weapon scales from it so LET ME GET ONE TOO YOU JERKS-
