Futuristic At the Edge of the Apocalypse, an Eternal Principle

[Napalm on Toast]

When I maintain Neutralize as a free action, do I have to keep it at the same cost? Or do I need to use another half-reaction if I change the ATS/ATP used?

 

[Random Word]

Pg. 141:

Example of ATS:
Unit 00's pilot has a Synch Ratio of 53. He spreads his A.T. Field with a Deflective Field as a free action, giving him 5 ATS and 5 Deflection, and spends the rest of his turn to move. On his next turn, he uses Neutralize on Sachiel, spending 5 ATP and thus decreasing his ATS by 5, leaving him with 0, but his field still spread. On the beginning of his third turn, his spent ATP (and thus ATS) refreshes to full and he may immediately choose whether or not to maintain the Neutralize power and for how much as a free action. For his next turn, he decides to only maintain it for 3, freeing up 2 ATS which he uses for other AT Powers or holds for 2 Deflection. The turn following that, he maintains Neutralize for 5, again going to 0 ATS and 0 Deflection. When the battle ends, he stops maintaining Neutralize, regaining all 5 ATS. If another target appeared, he would need to start up Neutralize again, since he has stopped paying at least 1 ATP to maintain it.

There is a half-action, and a reaction, but no such thing as a half-reaction ( )

Unless we are discussing stoichiometry.

@SephirothSage still alive?

 

[SephirothSage]

-- Hey! Yeah. Haven't gotten an alert in a while..

 

[Random Word]

Sherwood just needs to know if Natalia hit, and if so what happens. I don't even know if Unit-01 is in range to make that attack.


@Sherwood, no there are no targeting bonuses on the Angel. My aircraft are still in the city.

 

[Sherwood]

Ok. I hit at least once; I just didn't know if there were any bonuses on the angel. I'll roll my damage here.

[SephirothSage]

Right, sorry.. sorry.. I was just... I need to get ready to.. yeah.

 

[Random Word]

@Sherwood make sure to give your Pen with your damage, just to make it easier for @SephirothSage to work out what happens without looking up your weapon and any applicable talents.

 

[Sherwood]

Sorry. The rifle has a Pen of three

 

[SephirothSage]

Ayup.


So I believe it's Irene's turn, then ze Angel, jah?

 

[Bardiel]

Oh, @SephirothSage, I made the same mistake earlier: you can remove the Final Spawn from the Initiative roster.

 

[SephirothSage]

Right, yeah.


Cus it exploded.

 

[Napalm on Toast]

I go right after Irene due to Second Fiddle shenanigans. It never got updated in the Initiative order, oops. So it should be...


Natalia / Irene (13, 3 Agi)


Huginn (13, 4 Agi, Second Fiddle)


Angel


Commandant (8)


Cassidy (4)

@DeusExAlice stab Angel.

 

[Bardiel]

Stab it, because the P-Knife is the best (lower tier) weapon or because of convenience?

 

[Sherwood]

I'm just waiting for when I can start equipping a Progressive Sword. I'm much better at using a blade than I am at ranged attacks.

 

[Random Word]

Because she's Irene, and if one were to make Irene or Natalia in the Cypher System they would both be Traumatized Child who Stabs Angels.


Or, if you want a serious answer, because they both have much higher WS than BS.

 

[Bardiel]

@Sherwood You have been hankering after the P-Sword since the beginning. I hope it works! (Go, Nat, Go!)


@Random Word, so we are waiting on @DeusExAlice to post? Isn't that right @SephirothSage?

 

[Random Word]

Yes, we are, but she hasn't been on in 18 days, so I wouldn't expect her any time soon.


I'm researching that sword as fast as I can. Defeat more Angels if you want more toys

I'm on it! Let me at them!

 

[Bardiel]

Is it possible that we could perhaps defer Huginn's/@DeusExAlice turn and let the rest of the roster act? (or should we?) @SephirothSage and Co.?

 

[Random Word]

Just let Sephiroth make her an NPC until she returns and move along as normal.

 

[Bardiel]

I think that is fair enough. They can always resume after they return. Alternatively, they could follow the Commandant's orders exactly. However, from the meta perspective, I get why the former is "fairer" than the latter, despite the latter making sense in game.

Oh yeah, Fallout 4 has consumed Alice. I will, uh, try to pull her away. But I don't know how successful I will be. The call of the Wasteland is strong.
