Saga of the Seven Sins - The Second Cycle

[Sherwood]

Still painful, but that I could live through.

 

[Random Word]

Haha. You can't judge everyone else based on Opal. I survived 32A or whatever, but it didn't bypass Soak.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Urgh. I seriously though Viktor had more than the original 8 health levels. My bad.

 

[Random Word]

Opal is supposed to take his hits for him. I'm his ablative shield of Health Levels ( )

 

[Sherwood]

Well, I can get 15A soak from my Charms, but I didn't have it active at the moment. I do have the Charm Prior Warning up, so if anything targets me I should be able to get a perception roll to spot it.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Prior Warning would work on it, allies can spot and intercept the missile, provided they succeed the roll to do so. It's just danger sense charms (instantaneous surprise negators) of the target fail.

 

[Random Word]

Opal will be permanently Defend Other-ing Viktor until she rends Harmonious Jade limb from limb. That's probably the only thing that will drive her to actually kill someone.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Speaking of worthy opponents, six words to escalate things to the brink and to scare the crap out of all of you.


Canon Zenith. Fist of the Daystar.

 

[Random Word]

Bunch of Solars who clearly didn't have enough Awareness Charms to notice the horrible mess they've picked a fight with ( ).

 

[WarDragon]

Uhm. Perfect Soak still works, right?

 

[Random Word]

Yes. It's reflexive, so you can use it when surprised.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Yeah, that's good.

 

[WarDragon]

And yeah, I had way more health levels in the last version of this game... when we were using the Hardy keyword. I'll be making that a top priority for xp spending. This is why I'm a fan of handing out free HLs like candy by whatever means. ( > )

 

[Seeker of the End]

... *facepalm* I KNEW I forgot something in the rules.

 

[Sherwood]

Does that mean we are going to be using the Hardy keyword? I would need to see what Charms for Sidereals that add to it, but it can recapture some of the Ox-Bodies I picked up.

 

[Seeker of the End]

Right, hardy keyword applies and doesn't count towards your charm count cap. Sorry all.

 

[Random Word]

What's that mean?

 

[Seeker of the End]

Basically there are certain charms that net you a free ox-body charm without (in this game) counting towards your charm cap. I'll link the list later tonight.

 

[WarDragon]

Fuck yes. More health levels for me, more Charms for those of you that paid for Ox-Body.

 

[Random Word]

Interesting. More HLs! Opal will have all of the HLs.

 

[Sherwood]

A quick web-fu search and I found the list. It looks like I have my maxed out health levels from the Hardy keyword

 

[Seeker of the End]

You're going to need it. You're going to be on the receiving end of an Essence 5 Solar circle. The Zenith knows Fist of the Daystar and I'm going to get help from Jaytee min-maxing everything.


Mwahaha...

 

[WarDragon]

I'll fix that on my character sheet, and I need to be signing off for the night soon... but should I roll JB first? Time to activate charms? And was that enough of a stunt to recover some of the 8m I spent on perfecting?

 

[Seeker of the End]

Jade was never there. Her charm suspended an attack at you, which she made in the day-time completely unseen, and struck your character let your guard down. Your motes will recover fine so no need to worry. You get 4 motes back though.

 

[WarDragon]

Huh. Makes my command a little pointless, though I guess I don't know about her tricks either.


 
And that gives me 6 more -2s, and two more -4s... need to buy up Resistance, yesssss...
