Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

Yeah, to explain for Archivist:


You reduce Soak from Raw Damage.


If this would drop the amount of damage dealt to below the character's Essence, they roll a minimum of their Essence in damage.


The exception to this is if the raw damage is lower than the character's Essence, in which case they roll raw damage.

Successes above DV.

The first success doesn't count towards this total. DVs act like External Penalties, meaning you need to roll one above in order to hit. It's every success after that which adds to raw damage.


Edit: While I'm at it, I'd also like to ask/clarify two things about your current tick table, Archivist.


Torchward's ability to move on ceilings and the like involves a Dash action, which is itself a 3-tick action with a DV penalty of 2. You currently have him acting again in two ticks, and while it may only take that long to reach the place, it will still be another tick before his DV refreshes and he can do anything but shout some words or make some gestures or whatever is appropriate from a narrative standpoint.


The second clarification: you have Anoké reaching the wall, and then... acting again three ticks later. Why is this?
 
Whoops, seems I have made some major fumbles. I’ve reread the rules and see what you guys are talking about. So I will go back to redo all the rolls I made using the rules correctly. Sorry about that everyone. As I have said, I’m still learning the rules, so it’s probably inevitable that I will make mistakes like this.


Tableface: Looking back I’m not sure what I was doing with the Tick counter for Anoke. Ugh, I must have been more tired last night after work then I thought. So I will fix the Tick counter also. Anoke acts on the same tick that Calypso gets on his bike (Tick 21, takes a Dash action (three ticks), and thus can act against on Tick 24. Sorry about that.


I will probably also get the Varajtul’s actions in there also considering they are up now also.


Edit: Also could I just want to confirm a couple things on Asyk's damage. I'm guessing that Sherwood just went ahead and just calculated Raw Damage, subtracted soak away from that, and then rolled out the actual damage? If that is the case then the Blood Ape is in fact killed from the 14 health levels of damage he inflicted, upon confirmation I will edit my previous post on that to reflect that Asyk has created one dead demon-monkey.
 
Hey Archivist. One minor edit again.


7 is a success... You may want to look over your rolls. You got one with 4 dice and 4 success counted as 2 (Heck if that was a regular skill roll that would have been 5 xD )

10 Raw – 5 Soak= 5 Rolls
1d10=9, 1d10=10, 1d10=7, 1d10=7, 1d10=7 = 2 Damage

Now he's dead dead anyway, he's just 2 extra Health levels dead for extra assurance.


Congrats Four Foot on big kill. *Golf clap*

AARRGGHH! Strange, I remember significantly less 7's when I first rolled that. I think all the numbers were just starting to blur together for me. But yea, now he is even more dead. No way he is getting back up. Minor goof on my part.


Edit: Posted the Varajtul's initial attack. So now it is your guy's turns.
 
Okay, the link should be working now. It's on dfp, which is mine, so it should be stable. If it goes down again, I'll type up a copy and put it in the thread.


No worries about the mechanics. The rules are pretty wonky to begin with. Wait till I start running my paranoia combo. :D
 
Asyk can make a dive at high speed to snag a running Lunar no prob, and still be able to fire off a salvo of arrows as he gets ready to drop you at the closest spot that needs your help the most. Having a 8 strength does have some serious advantages.
 
Sorry, guys, it probably will be Saturday when I can get a proper post up- I really don't have time right now. I haven't disappeared, though.
 
I'm still here, too. Just waiting for my next tick.
 
I'm pretty sure everyone is just waiting for Bjarn's next action, and the chain reaction that will cause to get the momentum going again (no pressure at all Morkais :roll: ).
 
Happy Independence Day to all you who live in the USA! Otherwise happy fourth day of the seventh month of the year...
 
Yep, happy 4th of July for those who happen to celebrate it! (Unfortunantly I got to work the whole holiday :cry: )


Now that Morkais has posted we can hopefully get through this logjam of actions we are in. I'm just waiting for a few more actions before I post myself.
 
Yeah, there's not much to my latest post, but there's not much I can really do to spruce up what he essentially just said to Bjarn.


Got something fun planned next, though. Assuming some jerks don't screw it up.
