[OOC Thread] The Matrix [Anathema Ascendant]

[Haku1]

I just want to be sure I've got the priority right since we're about to have tons of fighting occur.


The beast is assumed to have gotten a 3 suxx on join battle as trinity is on tick 1 with 2 suxx.


tick 0 beast (attacked - speed 5)


tick 1 trinity (attacked back - speed 5)


tick 5 beast (attacked again - speed 5) / trinity (not doing defensive stuff beyond declaration of reflexive charm use against next attack on her and 1 mote anima flare)


tick 6 trinity (next action)


tick 10 beast (next action)


Please note that unless it says that reflexive charm occurs on a step (something), it can be used at any time as long as no other charms have been used outside of a combo with the charm in it (for a celestial exalted).


And Dread Lord's Demeanor is a step 2 reflexive charm, which means it CAN be used in response to an attack on an abyssal. Say like on tick 5?


Which could force it to make a valor roll (difficulty 1) or willpower roll (difficulty 2) -per- attack it wants to make on you, depending on how you set the resistance roll when you bought the charm. Or force the attacker to spend 3 willpower to resist for the scene and add a limit break point.


And take essence dice in damage per attack.

 

[knightfall]

Assuming the creature isn't already in limit break. Or constantly in limit break.


>_> Not that I'm saying it is. Or that it isn't.


But, yes, that's perfectly valid.

 

[Haku1]

Or another exalt decides to take pot shots at Trinity.

 

[Haku1]

So, we just need to wait for ze ST to get all the join battle rolls and to calculate when we show up and in what order...

 

[MorkaisChosen]

I really need to get Heart-Stopping Mien. It's nearly as cool as combining Illustrative Overkill Technique with Killing Words Technique.

 

[Haku1]

Join Battle Suxx and just how many people are running around here?!?! o_o


3 suxx - The Beast (NPC) (in theory 3 suxx)


2 suxx - Trinity ( Myllinnia)


6 suxx - Leoria (NPC)


4 suxx - Izumi (Dakanir)


2 suxx - Romanatali (Haku)


5 suxx - Arishat (Luck)


4 suxx - Bloodseed Soldier 1 (NPC)


1 suxx - Bloodseed Soldier 2 (NPC)


2 suxx - Bloodseed Soldier 3 (NPC)


3 suxx - Bloodseed Soldier 4 (NPC)


4 suxx - Bloodseed Soldier 5 (NPC)


2 suxx - Prophet (MorkaisChosen)

 

[MorkaisChosen]

*Makes a mental note to raise Awareness at some point...*

 

[Haku1]

Awareness 2nd excellency? :lol:

 

[MorkaisChosen]

That works too...

 

[Myllinnia]

I am a little fuzzy. I have a post lined up regardless, but is it Trinity's action? (and sorry if it is, and I have slowed us down. Again Oo)

 

[Haku1]

It IS Trinity's action.


tick 0 beast (attacked - speed 5)


tick 1 trinity (attacked back - speed 5)


tick 5 beast (attacked again - speed 5) / trinity (not doing defensive stuff beyond declaration of reflexive charm use against next attack on her and 1 mote anima flare)


tick 6 trinity (next action) <- now


tick 10 beast (next action)

 

[Myllinnia]

Thankie. And post sent. ^^

 

[Haku1]

We should have a tick tracker thread ;


tick 0 beast (attacked - speed 5)


tick 1 trinity (attacked back - speed 5)


tick 5 beast (attacked again - speed 5) / trinity (not doing defensive stuff beyond declaration of reflexive charm use against next attack on her and 1 mote anima flare)


tick 6 trinity (attack again - speed 5)


tick 10 beast (next action) <- now UNLESS someone joins in prior to tick 10


tick 11 trinity (next action) / Romanatali (a new challenger appears!)


Also for your DV, it looks like that is correct. It's a -2 to your DV...

 

[danakir]

Anyone who gets more sux than the Beast would act exactly on the tick on which they do the Join Battle action. Just so everyone's clear on that. ^^

 

[Haku1]

Even if the action is to get closer to the fight... :lol:

 

[danakir]

Hey, that still counts! But you people get the idea.

 

[Wuffy]

Just curious. But how are we doing stunts?

 

[MorkaisChosen]

How does flurrying interact with a Dash? If I flurry Ready Weapon with Dask, is it a 5 -tick-long Dash moving 6+Dex-mobility each tick, or 3 ticks of Dash and 2 more ticks before the next action, or what? Also, do multiple action penalties affect the move speed?

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Note: this is my understanding of the RAW.


Every tick you dash, up to 5 ticks, you move Dex+6-mobility yards.


You do not have to dash for all 5 ticks, but your DV refreshes only after 5 ticks, so if you dash for more than 3 ticks, your DV gets penalized again.


multiple action penalties do not affect move rate, which also means you cannot flurry several dash actions at the same time.

 

[MorkaisChosen]

That seems reasonable, but I'm not sure about the DV being penalised again. I'll probably play it safe and just take 3 ticks dashage; Knightfall's word, as always, is final.

 

[Wuffy]

Dashing is a 3 tick and -2dv action The does not allow you to parry unless you stunt


Readying a weapon is a 5 tick -1dv action


When flurying, drawing your weapon uses the speed of the weapon instead of 5 ticks and just piles on it's DV penalty.


So there are two ways to go.


1) For three ticks you move at Dex+6-Mobility-Wounds (Min 2) Per tick at each tick. with a total -3 dv penalty and no ability to Parry without a stunt.


2) You flurry, you do not get an Action until 5 ticks later, you have -3DV until then but only get to Dash for the first 3 Ticks, and the last two you get regular reflexive movement.

 

[MorkaisChosen]

OK, thanks (for reference purposes, it's Razor Claws, so Speed 5 anyway).


And parrying? Why bother parrying? WOUNDS MEAN NOTHING! :twisted:

 

[Haku1]

This is why I is taking some time to get there, a minimum of speed 6? From join battle? Enough time to ride and draw weapon and not have to y'know flurry and stuff. :lol:

 

[Luck1]

Losers, get some natural weaponry.

 

[knightfall]

Having technical difficulties. Posting from McDonalds wifi. Will try to post later tonight; failing that, I'll post tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
