[2E] Combat nugget

[Gtroc]

just wondering how Second Eds combat system is working for you all?

 

[Flagg]

WAY better.


-S

 

[Gtroc]

I agree, though recording/keeping track of ticks is now the bane of my life.

 

[Flagg]

Use my tick sheet. Its the shiz.


-S

 

[Persell]

I use koku to keep track.

 

[Coyotekin]

What is koku?

 

[Persell]

Chinese coins.

 

[Flagg]

Why would you keep track of ticks with coins?


-S

 

[Zin]

Why would you keep track of ticks with coins?

Cuz cows was to big?  

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

Still's tick sheet+page protectors+dry erase markers=freakin awesome

 

[Jack1]

Ticks are my bishie.


2nd ed combat is the shizzle-dizzle. Honestly, it's the coolest thing since sliced bread.

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

Since when is sliced bread cool? I never understood that phrase...

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

You got a knife, there's some bread--SLICE THE MOTHERFUCKER!

 

[Jack1]

Quoted for truth.

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

George Carlin can solve any issue.

 

[Jack1]

You mean that wasnt a CW original?


Aww.  

 

[Samiel]

Ticks win, and the streamlined system is.. streamlined.


I'll put it like this: in the last two sessions, I've had more combat scenes than in the last two stories. And they took so little time, and with such pleasantly swift results.


Also, in the new system, extras are AS WATER before the exalted, and exalts are soo much more awesome in general. Just because the system favours them.

Building Collapsing Prana ftw.

 

[Samiel]

Body count: 16 dead, many, many more injured/unconscious, three buildings destroyed. And all without a single anima flare.

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

Yeah, combat is wild this time round.

 

[Jack1]

Body count: 16 dead, many, many more injured/unconscious, three buildings destroyed. And all without a single anima flare.

And dont forget one severed arm.

 

[Samiel]

Healed in a dramatically appropriate way, as opposed to the alternative, where she'd just pile resources 5 worth of random shit and ask the US to do a favour.


Thank the gods. My plot survives without the taint of shit.

 

[Jack1]

Really?


You should probably check again.


Double-Burn!

 

[Samiel]

Ow! My plot!


He's losing his arm again if it becomes crap. And it'll be on your black conscience.

 

[Jack1]

Possibly, but at least I'll have both my arms, unlike andrew, who wont.
