Yuyuko, Kaguya... who's going to be the third? Remilia? Wakatsuki Sisters? Yukari? Eiki? (Think I'll stop because they're just getting more and more unlikely. XD)

She's on the works, along with  rough drafts for Mei Ling, Komachi and Eirin but I may just end up finishing Remilia next since she seems to be quite requested. She would be the third base discipline of the Eternal Royal, suposedly going into Lunatic Lancer (that I probably should transfer here). Flandre would then be converted into a Forbidden School.

Gungnir is impressive and all, but I always think more of the fact she attacks you with blood. XD

Ever got any plans to go near Yukari, Shiki, or Shinki (so, ancient youkai of vague power, someone who Yukari says could beat her, Yuyuko, AND Reimu with no difficulty, and creator of an entire world)?

Doll Judgement enables you to channel  all  actions through your dolls. If you are invisible and channel an attack through your dolls, does that break the invisibility?

Also, I am reading "The girl who played with people's shapes", specifically the Lemming Parade. It seem useful but tiny creatures don't threaten squares around them. Is it intended to be used only with dolls that wield reach weapons? And since we are on the subject. A tiny doll that uses a small reach weapon, does it have 5ft or 10ft reach?
It's a pity they cant use ranged weapons.

Edit: Blue Benevolent Dolls say they provide concealment to squares behind them. Does this apply only to the Initiator and allies or does it also benefit any enemies that have a Doll in front of them?

I would say that no, attacking trough the dolls doesn't break your own invisibility.

A little obscure fact in D&D is that a tiny creature with a manufactured weapon actually has a 5 feet reach (or 10 feet reach with a reach weapon).

Yes blue dolls can benefit enemies. They're not called benevolent for nothing. :p

Altough I'm open to change stuff if any seems too strong/weak.

How are you getting that? http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/movementPositionAndDistance.htm says Tiny typically has a natural reach of 0 ft.

Old obscure rule I once saw in a splat, altough I don't seem to be able to find it now. No biggie, just edited in Doll Judgment to explicitly work like that.

Haha, right. Does that affect only squares adjastent to them or all squares behind them?

It is just that, as it is, you have to choose between being protected by your Dolls and hitting your enemies, especially if you are a ranged character. It gets even harder  when they also block line of sight and effect. It seemed a little odd to me.

All squares behind them.

However notice that you can channel your attacks trough your dolls and also see trough their eyes, plus DJ maneuvers that  use dolls count the doll as the source of the attack, so as long as you're using the "frontline" dolls to do the bashing, they'll never get in your own way.

I totally forgot about that. 
I also had the impression that you can only channel maneuvers. How I got that idea I don't know , since it clearly says "any of your actions".  :blush

Hm.

Clearly, there should be a feat that gives you bonuses based on the fanciness of your headwear. Unless your only ToBhou school is Lunatic Princess, naturally.

Yeah, I've been toying around with the idea  of some "general" tobhou feats/equipment, not only for fancy headwear but also dress-plate, broomsticks, throwable weapons of all sorts and whatnot.  Maybe I can finally consolidate all of this properly next weekend.

What about one for style over substance? That is the general point of danmaku. XD

Sorry, newbie barging in, but I've been a long time fan of your ToBhou stuff for a long time and am even prepping to put some of it to use in an upcoming homebrew game being run by a friend.

Anyways just wanted to say I would definitely love to see something based on Meiling after Remilia and Flandre :D

Hmm. Classes, schools, some feats...

Clearly, this is missing items beyond dolls. Talking about Byakuren's scroll reminded me. XD

To be honest, I've been working on a Legacy Weapon.

Maybe that's part of what is feeling amiss.

Only Legacy Weapon that I can think of would be the Hakurei Yin-Yang Orbs... wait, nearly forgot Roukanken and Hakurouken. Aside from that (and the general mythological weapontheft that Flandre has somehow pulled off) there's a distinct lack of suitable equipment. Kaguya has a lot of stuff, but none of it is really suitable. XD

Aye. The legendary Norse weapon of fire.

Mine was a no brainer; the Shichiseiken, or 7☆Sword.
I'm sure with some thought finding something appropriate to most disciplines wouldn't be too hard.

Otherwise, hat items are probably mandatory.

I don't believe it's possible to turn a demon cherry tree into an item.

Detached sleeves as a miko item. :D

Make it a monster class.
