[OOC Thread] [The Resurgent]

[Tikor]

I should expand on what I mean by 'successfully defend'.


Having a high enough DV works, spending the Virtue Channels works, using a Social Perfect Defense works.

Post editted.

 

[rcuhljr]

Edited my rolls into my character thread.

 

[NoisyCricket]

Various Defenses:

These are all appropriate and great and worthy of stunt dice. They are not complete, though, since one could defend with Invesigation. I'm thinking the Socratic Method or finding a loophole in someone's arguement. See page 172 of Core.

I actually missed that part in the rules at first. I honestly have a hard time figuring out how to stunt an investigation defense for this particular attack. Any thoughts?

Isn't it convenient that you'd like to know that.. What reason do you have for wanting that knowledge? planning something illicit perhaps?

Of course not. I would never do something like that. And, of course, you can trust me.

Last post of Act 4 updated.

Fixed.


Is everything in a social combat an attack? What is the equivalent of moving to a different position or something else not directly hostile?

Movement, short of dashing, is free. It's basically cosmetic (unless you get out of earshot).


Check out my post for the misc. things I did.


And yes, every question or statement in social combat is basically an attack, or, in the case of a statement, it is a response to one.


Well, that's not quite correct. You can monologue which is 'aiming'.


I believe that covers the basics.

 

[NoisyCricket]

To add to what I said above (now that I'm thinking about it):


Social combat is really only for 'hostile' situations to begin with.


When I ask you how your day was, you have the option to do social combat, but unless you really have a reason to, you'd generally just say what you want to.


Now, one thing i would wonder about is how lying is done during social combat.


Let's say I ask you what you want to eat. You want to eat chicken, but I don't beat your MDV. You say 'beef'.


Do we do a normal opposed lying check, or is that covered by the first attack?


Just curious.

All the actions in Social Combat are on page 171 of Core.

What is the equivalent of moving to a different position or something else not directly hostile?

Move, Guard and Misc action are all replecated in Social Combat, and are not openly hostle in and of themselves, though each can be very useful.

Let's say I ask you what you want to eat. You want to eat chicken, but I don't beat your MDV. You say 'beef'.

If the attacker suspects you are lying he can make a Misc Action Read Motivation detailed on page 131. This, like all Misc Actions, can be flurried (it has an effective rate of 1 but counts as a different 'weapon').

So, at this point, we're waiting for everyone in the room to either try to defend Winter's attack (and respond accordingly) or not defend and answer?


Then combat time will advance and it will be Isomaru's turn

That would be correct.

I am saddened to have not delivered.

Edited post 1. Also posts where mod(N,15)=1 (except a few that already had pictures).

 

[Kalarix]

Can you link those as links to images instead of attachments... >.>

 

[rcuhljr]

poke me when you've dealt with my stealth(orlackthereof)/join battle rolls.

 

[Tikor]

Will do.

 

[Tikor]

My failure to get my head around your Wood Aspect is epic. I keep going home and getting distracted instead of learning his Charms. Last night I did my taxes then fell asleep (/fail)


What makes this even more fun is I'm totally on top of the Earth Aspect in the other scene >.>

 

[rcuhljr]

He doesn't really need charms. >.>

 

[Tikor]

Did I say Nellens Seki was a Wood Aspect?


I meant he was a heroic mortal. <.< >.>
