Ah thanks for clearing that up. Pattern Spiders are gonna be pissed at me once I start flaring anima

 

[WlfSamurai]

Anytime.


People don't realize that the pattern spiders are the ones that RULE THE WORLD!!!1!1!!!

 

[Captain Hesperus]

I know, digging into some of these charms again I'm shocked at how unclear they are compared to the 2E. The Lunar charms are pretty bad.
Anyway, no. You spend 3 motes and automatically parry an attack you're aware of. No roll needed and you don't have to an action open to do so. They point out at the end, though, that this isn't a perfect defense. So an unblockable attack cannot be parried with this charm.

This is how I always read it. It defends any attack except Perfect or Unexpected attacks.

Can't wait to see what dat crazy Lunar is going to try.


Oh and I need to keep reminding myself, one of my charms permanently (for free) doubles my dex+wits for initative in combat till I take my first non-reflexive action.

 

[Captain Hesperus]

We're doing a narrative-type of initiative at the present, so there hasn't been any rolls for it.


Captain Hesperus

 

[WlfSamurai]

True. But I can keep that in mind and take that into account.


I should ask, are we okay with combat run this way so far? Would you guys rather roll it?

 

[MrSerious]

For the moment I'm good with this. I'd like to roll it when the chips are really down, but right now i'm not too concerned - its' one lunar who is outnumbered 5 to 1. I was thinking of editing my post to add some more flavor text, if thats ok with Mr GM.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Sure. Go for it.

 

[MrSerious]

Done, thank you, and improved on my earlier scribble.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Very nice.

 

[ehmygirl]

I think Cadence is very close to flaring herself

 

[Captain Hesperus]

Well, Masaru's more than prepared to die for his sister's life. If he had more combat Charms, he'd use them. All of them. I suppose I'm kinda missing the option of having Excellencies. SO HANDY!


Captain Hesperus

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yes. Indeed. That was a huge improvement.


But, this is merely one scene with one type of conflict. There will be many other kinds of conflict to test you.


Edit: Ah phone typing. Hahaha.

 

[WlfSamurai]

This worked out great, guys.


Nice teamwork.

 

[MrSerious]

I didn't plan anything it just turned out that way

 

[WlfSamurai]

I know. I'm just trying to make you feel better.

 

[MrSerious]

Gee thanks

 

[MrSerious]

I'll only intervene directly in this fight if things get bad, or if I'm attacked specifically, otherwise if anyone else wants to post or act go for it.

 

[Captain Hesperus]

I want to spend Essence but, unless I sing at him, I've nothing applicable....


Captain Hesperus

 

[MrSerious]

There is a certain DBT gift that heals 1 box of lethal per combat round which is why you ALWAYS want to outnumber a lunar in combat.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Fortunately for you guys, I did not take that charm with this Lunar.

 

[Captain Hesperus]

There is a certain DBT gift that heals 1 box of lethal per combat round which is why you ALWAYS want to outnumber a lunar in combat.

Yes, it also heals ALL bashing damage each turn...


Captain Hesperus

 

[WlfSamurai]

I always took it with my Lunars. Great charm.


Edit: Very Werewolf-esqe.

 

[Myllinnia]

Hi everyone. I'll wait for an opening for my chara to post. ^^

 

[MrSerious]

@GM Is the Lunars' attack a -perfect- or just bitchin successes?
