[OOC] The Wall [Clashing Waves]

You roll your damage AFTER seeing the results given to you from the ST, not before. Adjustments from a foe's DV and soak will affect your damage pool directly. Using what Haku gave you, you have to recalculate your damage pool as it is taking into account the Zombie's DV and soak and roll it again.
 
Or since zombies are extras if he has more than (7 or 9?) raw damage it's just an auto kill. YOu don't roll damage on extras.
 
True, but its not an autokill. Extras have three health levels. Automatic levels of damage are equal to the raw damage dealt divided by 3, rounded up. So if he had 7 raw damage (post soak), it'd autokill the Zombie. Of course, all of this assumes that Haku/Tome is using this. I've played with a few STs who decided not to for whatever reasons, but we undoubtedly are. Either way, we all should wait for the ST's response to our attacks compared to the DV of our opponents before we go determining damage.
 
Pretty much, they ARE extras. Which is why it's attacks failed due to it not having enough die to smack Sherwood.


However, damage will need to be rolled after taking out DV (3), and soak (3L), which means that Rowan might not have done enough damage to kill it. Yes, yes, 3 health levels (and if you have 9 or more die of damage AFTER soak, it'd be destroyed automatically) vs legendary hit by exalt. But luck does play a factor here.
 
It'd be 7 or more dice Haku, because the for Extras the Core says you divide damage dice by 3 and round up instead of rolling for damage.


Sherwood, man, I don't mean to be a jerk here, but do you know the rules for Exalted, or are you really rusty with it, or what?


Your raw damage pool is affected by soak, not the health levels you do. It isn't just the successes you rolled from the attack, remember. It also includes the damage of the weapon and your strength. Your raw damage pool should look something like this:


4 (successes over DV) + 6 (Daiklave) + 2 (Strength) = 12


You will instantly kill the zombie with your attack, btw.
 
Hmmm... fair enough.


And yeah... even after the soak, it'd still be an auto-kill. I'll post up response. But yeah...


I should note that all the zombies are extras with a soak of 3L and a DV of 3, please take that into consideration for the fight? ^_^ ;
 
Yeah, but he had 10 successes on the attack roll, which is 7 over their DV. The 7 was post DV if you count up the successes in his roll.
 
As far as I knew, the dice you roll for to hit is: Dex + Melee + specialties + any Charms that increase your to hit. You then take the successes from that, subtract your opponents DV. What is left is then rolled: extra successes + Str + Weapon damage.

Correct. Sorry to have doubted you. >.> I was just wondering, cause your posts didn't reflect that. Hopefully everything will be cool from this point on.


A suggestion for you Haku, and Tome as well. In the other PbP games I've played in, usually the ST rolled for damage and included that in his/her reaction post (which in turn would include the overall effect of the attack). It just made things smoother and more organized in the IC thread. While the current way we are doing things does work, I just thought I'd bring up this as a possible way to make things easier.
 
It'd have help if I wasn't too lazy to check out what the stats said for Rowan in his CS... ^_^ ;;;
 
Actually speaking of that...


Hey Sherwood, that link to your character profile that's supposed be in your sig isn't working. If you replace what's in your Profile under Signature with what I have below, it should work:


//// url=http://pbp.patternspider.net/viewtopic.php?t=21]Rowan Eagle-Eye[/url /////


Just remove the slashes and add brackets [ ] on the outside of the stuff above and voila.
 
add brackets onto the front and end of that


in front


[


and on the end


]


here it is again


url=http://pbp.patternspider.net/viewtopic.php?t=21]Rowan Eagle-Eye[/url


here's what should happen with the brackets:


Rowan Eagle-Eye


A bracket like so "[" should go right in front of url=blahblahblah, and one like so "]" should go right after /url
 
And with any luck, I won't get blasted by whatever spell that is being cast. :? That would suck; first encounter and get killed by another Pc.

Theran will do his best to keep you out of the targeted area. Unless the Zombies somehow surround you, you should be fine. Even if they do, the spell will probably only do enough bashing damage to knock you out. With the Zombies, all that damage is doubled, so hopefully all of the damage they take will be converted up to lethal because of the health level loop.


Haku, question about your last IC post for us.....

The bouncing motion of the plank as the restless dead moved sounded as if they were nails being hammered into coffins. With a snarl, the first lunar lunged at Rowan, its gapping maw biting for his living flesh... only to meet empty air.

You mean Zombie, right? >.<
 
I'm sure he ment one of the evil zombie pirates. No big.
 
I would say 1 die... but also note that the zombies are in the same tick as -you-. So they'd get to act at the same time... dum dum dummmmm...


So they might not have splashed down without taking a bite of you...


DV, and soak values, please? :P
