    Alright guys, need help with naming an upcoming build. It will be a primarily magic plus unarmed fighter with an occasional sword thrust, with one premise being "eating" Daedra and the like. I was thinking The Daedric Devourer, but any other ideas?

    Hmm, Daedric Devourer makes it feel a bit too much like it's a Daedra that devours, that said I can't think of anything better. I mean the only thought that's even popped into my head was Cruncher of Daedra and that sounds ridiculously stupid so...If you were eating the Daedra Hearts then I could see something like Heart-Stealer, Heart-Eater, etc. working out fairly well, but that's kinda specific and a bit weird. 

    Dunno, I'll let you know if I think of anything else Chris :)

    Daedra Devourer was another idea, or The Daedra-Eater, you know. I'll look up synonyms of devour

    So...anyone got anything going on at the moment? Got nothing at the moment since I'm devoid of an Xbox (and thus have no Ordinator, and thus have no builds to play) but I do have a few ideas that I'd like to start. My main thing is that I'd really like to figure out a Bloodborne based build. Not sure what I'd do to make it stand out from the other Bloodborne based builds, I think that I remember one based on Beast Form, another based off of using One-Handed Crossbows. Other than that, uh, let me think, might try and go for a stagger oriented build on high difficulties (with mods), maybe see if I can figure out either rolling or multi-form weapons.

    Woah there Chris, don't tell us too much about 'em :P Seriously I am interested in hearing what you've got 

    Oh and on a somewhat related note (barely) I watched Konosuba recently and I think I can understand your love for Megumin, seriously she's the best part of the show by far. Also realized I hadn't liked the build so...rectified that little problem :)

    She's great isn't she? Well, I've got that Daedric Devourer (name still WiP) being written up, then I'm thinking of revamping an old build idea I've been on and off on since 2013 or so, about a humble man who becomes a respected, and feared, sellsword, stuff like that

    Would you be mad at me if I said that calling her the best part of the show is only barely a compliment, not really that fond of the show in general because it feels very...standard to me, at least it takes a comedic route but other than that I just felt like I'd already watched half a dozen series like it. That said, Megumin is worth watching Season 2 so :P

    'FOCUSING' Right, so is the Daedric Devourer based on a certain subset of skills? That sounds like a super interesting idea but the only 'daedra' based effect that I can think of is banishing, and well that's kind of the opposite (as far as my mind is supplying) of devouring...Though I guess...Soul Trap maybe? Eh, got no idea but the name itself is enough to interest me :D

    I think that's the point, it's poking fun at all the other Isekai shows, as in shows where person gets farted out into another world. Well, the character basically "eats" magic, and her only way of refilling magic will be eating her summons or the magic attacks of enemies, and will be mostly unarmed. I also have a build based off Overlord, both the game series and the unrelated anime (which I recommend.) Basically, what if your magic wielding overlord of Doom got bored and thought "Whelp, wonder if this do gooding shit is as fun as those cocky heroes make it out to be." Eventually morphing into a fairly good guy, albeit one who uses Necromancy, blood magic, and makes deals with the Daedra while doing so.

    Overlord's next on my list, just gotta finish Bloodborne and then I'll be watching it. That does sound like a pretty interesting character you've got based off of it to be honest, I don't really recall many 'Good' Necromancers, and obviously, not Blood Mages so putting that spin on the idea could be pretty interesting. Are you going for more of a... wider Blood Magic (using Illusion to simulate Blood Control) or just sticking to Equilibrium for that character?

    Oh, so the idea is more that you'd summon and 'eat' your own Daedra rather than enemy ones? That's pretty cool, nay that's really, really cool. Heh, just for fun I'd probably consider the 50% margin so that sometimes you can 'eat' them straight away, and then if they are summoned you could have enchanted Fork + Knife enchanted with Absorb Health and Stamina, so you've kind of got two ways to eat your Daedra, don't have a strong weapon and get some extra Health/Stamina healing.

    Just a thought though, and if your nearly done it might be a bit late for that.
