Hollow Consumption, Rampages

[Nola Vilde]

The following is my recommendation of amendment to  Hollow Consumption

I. Hollows consuming NPCs are to put forth, at least, a minimum of 1 paragraph of combat per 50 tp that the relevant NPC or NPCs would yield.

II. In addition to Souls that are more than 2 classes above the Hollow, there is an equal reduction of TP worth for consuming Souls that are more than 2 classes below the consuming Hollow.

III. Any consumption of NPCs must be done within the confines of a Rampage thread, subjecting the hollow to the hazard of injury and intervention in exchange for the increase in CTP gain as well as the ability to rapidly grow through consumption.

IV. Any invasive parties partaking in a Rampage with the intent to aid or abet the Rampaging hollow do not count toward the limited number of invaders, but by assisting that hollow increase the number of invaders of a relative strength to the assisting party.
eg. If a class 6 hollow is assisted by an invading class 4 arrancar, then a class 3 enemy could invade in addition to the two class 6 enemies already attempting to stop the rampage, to allow proper escalation to deal with the assisting party.

I agree with most of your ideas, specifically, II, III, and IV. Although i might add that for superior classes, it requires more combat pragraphs to justify their ability to defeat a superior class.

However for your first suggestion, I have to disagree. The ability to gain 50 TP for just a single post of combat is far too high. That's 5x faster than any other race in a DP, and double for DE. Not to mention that they can still get 10 (or 25) TP every paragraph regardless, so it's 6x and 3x. Rampages are already strong for hollows considering their TP gain is not halved, giving such a steroid to the race is giving them a shortcut to class 1, and by extension Mask Break, and 2300 SP.

Alternatively, I would suggest that to consume an NPC requires a certain number of paragraphs, depending on their relation in class to the hollow. This number could be done however the mods think fair. But to gain potentially 1800 TP for just 30 paragraphs? That's far too much to be allowed in my opinion. I feel that the problem doesn't lie with rampages, but specifically consumption itself, which can and is being exploited badly. No other race has such a broken tool for advancing, and the fact that this race is the road to one of the most powerful races and TT bonus on site makes it even worse. Hollows are SUPPOSED to be hard. That's why the TP gain was cut in the first place.

Now I like the idea of giving them rampages and consumption to make them more viable, but I think it needs to be within reason. They should be able to MATCH the other races, not absolutely leave them in the dust.

While I appreciate your input, this is a draft. I expect the mods will adjust the per tp amount, and have expressed this in my proposal on the discord.

Additionally, DE is not exclusive to hollows, I'm not entirely sure why this is being added. It does not modify consumption TP.

I however, appreciate your initiative to give your two cents.

I'm simply adding DE since Rampage threads CAN be DE, and it's much easier to make a rampage DE than any other type of thread.

[Nola Vilde]

A DE Rampage I imagine would be one of the most ballsy moves someone could make, given that people do not need your permission to invade. And thus would be incredibly easy for someone to go in and just murder you.

Just saying, it lacks the requirements all other threads need to be DE.

Proposal from Zeich:

Have a Limitation on the ammount of CTP a Hollow can intake per thread based on class (Ammount they can eat before essentially becoming full).
