Since I still can't stop thinking about how I'd make a Persona tabletop RPG: if you had a Persona, what would yours be? What would your Arcana be? Assume you don't have the Wild Card.

(My current idea for the Persona tabletop thing is that nobody has the Wild Card and character creation involves designing your own Persona. Eventually your Persona evolves. Fusion in a tabletop RPG would just be hell so I'm just gonna avoid that completely.)

If you're a goon you default to Mara.

Someone actually already made a Persona tabletop system if you didn't know. It's based on Fate iirc.

I played in a homebrew persona-inspired tabletop RPG like a decade ago (it was when P3 was the most recent one). The bits I remember were that personas were replaced by masks, which were found as loot. Everybody had the wild card, and you could choose who got each new mask.

Wait, everyone works perfectly fine in the sniping segment for the Sae fight? Given the very first fight with that kind of mechanic had at least one character who is likely to fail the segment, you'd think they would have done that for all of them.

I think Kamoshida's is the only one you can fail (by sending Ann). If you send the same person to the ballista twice in a row it'll take longer, but still go off.

Hm, that's kinda cool. Basically Personas as collectible classes with in-battle class switching?

The masks would work well with a Phantom Thieves theme going on, too.

Honestly seems like a wasted mechanic then, because why bother giving you a choice if it doesn't matter? Like Morgana should probably fail the ballista segment, and some grouping of Ryuji/Ann/Haru should probably fail the sniping segment.

Like you don't want to have too many be poor choices for obvious reasons, but just having one or two would still leave at least one member in your party capable of doing the segment and thus prevent a potential unavoidable fail state. Morgana being too small to really use the ballista, or such precision weapons as a shotgun (though he could be usings slugs), an SMG the user is incapable of accurately firing, or a grenade launcher (which even aside from the accuracy issues would also cause an explosion which might make it a little hard to see cracked glass) being bad at a sniping segment would make a decent amount of sense.

Because it would be awful if you couldn't choose which person that you lose for a few rounds. Imagine if you were reliant on heals from Morgana in the first palace and were forced to send him away without a choice.

Which character you send matters a lot, though? You have to be able to adapt your strategy around them being absent for several turns.

Also I would call bullshit if the character who naturally learns One Shot Kill was somehow the wrong choice for the sniping mission.

I used the 100% social link FAQ on my first play through since my wife was watching along and wanted to be able to see everything. Thus, I included her rankings of characters as well. We mostly had a similar assessment but slight variations. I didn't include any automatic ranking characters. For party members, we had the exact same assessment.
