[Blood-Dimmed Tides] Non-PC OOC Thread

[Sherwood]

Yahoo! Lets see how long it takes us to get used to the new format.

 

[captmadjaq]

Ugh! It's so pretty! I can't take it! Are the threads that are locked, still locked?

 

[captmadjaq]

What's Xandra's speed now?

 

[Sherwood]

I believe that her action was a Speed 6 Charm useage.

 

[xarvh]

I feel seasick.

 

[captmadjaq]

Why do you feel sea sick?

 

[xarvh]

The new forum is confusing, will take some time to get used to.


Plus, I am in the middle of relocating on the other side of the planet.


cap, can you please have Cinder blast the limp leg of the strider at full power (called shot), then seek cover?

 

[captmadjaq]

I suppose.... You're moving all the way from where to where? Curious minds want to know.

 

[Arynne]

You use standard speed rules for shapeshifting during combat time?

 

[captmadjaq]

I tend to. Are there optional rules?

 

[captmadjaq]

Spoiler

 

[Arynne]

So Dorissa is tied up for at least three actions, since she has to (A) either grow hands or change into human form, (B) climb out of the water, and © assume a form that won't make her a sitting duck in combat.


Ah, well...I knew what I was getting into when I made her...

 

[captmadjaq]

Sounds like a merit needs to be developed for faster transformations, or a set of charms dedicated for that. It makes sense to me. There are charms for increasing and decreasing sizes, so why not have them for something like this?

 

[Sherwood]

Off the top of my head, I believe that there is some shifting Knacks that allow you to decrease the Speed of your transformations already in the books.

 

[captmadjaq]

That's great! Time to scour the books.

 

[Arynne]

They require Dexterity 4 (to reduce it to Speed 3), Dexterity 5 (to make it reflexive), and Wits 5, Essence 5 (to change once per tick) respectively.

[Feantari]

You can generally flurry things with the shape change I thought, though it might depend on what you want to do. So even now it isn't like you have to wait the whole time you are shifting.

 

[Arynne]

Two actions then, since she needs to shapechange at least twice?

 

[captmadjaq]

Why do you need to flurry your transformation? I'm trying to find the rules, and can't.

 

[Sherwood]

Just remember to keep watch of how much Essence you spend on shifting. Once your anima banner starts to show, you're stuck in your true forms only.

 

[Thief of Words]

Hi, everyone. I wasn't sure where to post introductions, but this seemed as good a place as any. ;

 

[captmadjaq]

Looks like you don't need to be 'added' to join.


I invited thief to join a couple of weeks ago. Chat games don't have the ability for that awesomeness like pbp does. There's no waiting for other players to show up, and scheduling conflicts. And ST's have time to muddle with the story and mechanics.

 

[Sherwood]

Welcome to the game.

 

[Thief of Words]

*waves* Nice to be welcomed. Hope people won't mind Hunger (the character). She's a bit of an odd duck (well, odd shark).

 

[xarvh]

Welcome.


Hope you like fire.
