The Principle Journey OoC ( For all players )

[MJ ._.]

Its never about the idea, but the execution. Even this encounter could have been really interesting. We're just walking down a dirt road talking, but none of our posts were as simple as that.

That's why I asked. Because even a random encounter should either be dramatic as it is random, or it should have development and foreshadowing.

A simple post setting up the scene where we find a brutalized animal or person, with large holes in their abdomen. Or the savior accidentally waking one up by tripping against and catching herself against the wrong tree.

Is that too much to ask for?

I'm already struggling with my artes list. Please consider my hopeless effort!

Shin Positron Laser : Does using brutal force like punching or hitting with club need artes? If not, how can I calculate ATK power of a kick?

Consider your hopeless effort?

The simple invasion of bats gives me a good chance to try the combat system with less messing around.

Okay... to each their own. I'll have fun with my own post then.

Atk dice can be used to describe any physical combat.

When your dice roll lands on HIT numbers from 3 to 6 you can teanslate those HITS into whatever form of physical combat you want.

Each HIT equals -1 HP towards the target.

Shin Positron Laser : I changed the walking stick to Amethyst staff and filled rest of my artes.
Can I use the staff to hit bats?

Changing your equipment is fine.

You can use the staff or punch them or fall on them with your behind

Can Orchid use Peace artes (lvl3) to decrease bat's atk to 0?
I want to use it for my first combat post.

I am sorry. Because you did not submit your artes list before the engagement scenario had started I cannot allow your character to use artes that were not approved nor purchased. That excludes Orchids lvl 1 arte which was already there. But when I glanced at some of the artes they appeared to be unbalanced and some generally OP like that lvl3 arte.

However since we are at the beginning I will allow you to use your current 45tp to buy atk and def dice as well as HP CCA or SE so that orchid may defend herself.


If after the battle you wish to reuse your tp for other things I will allow it.

Thank you for understanding

She will have to count on simple hits. Does 4CCA mean that she can hit four times in a row?
How can I use them for next combat? I want to balance her artes but have no clue how to do that or what balancing is.

Normally when the artes list is completed I review the contents for approval. When I get home I will do just that. Its sort of hard to do on mobile.

Secondly CCA refers to you character combat actions what an oc can do within a single post. Each action whether dice or artes has a measured cca value. Dice generally count for 1 cca. Artes count for 3x their level in cca. It should be marked on the character sheet.

OK, thanks. I assume one mandatory hit takes one cca as it's not an artes?

Is this right or have I dropped something?

Orchid watched Adelaide going ahead of the group with fast but light and soundless steps. “Her movements are admirable. She even looks livelier than before.” She told anyone in particular then suddenly her head perched up at the earsplitting screeches of large bats coming down at them from high branches of a thick and old tree. She assumed them to be about ten heads and got ready to send them away with waves of her staff. The stone head of staff would have quite an impact if she could hit the creature’s head. She swayed her staff four times toward the closest blood sucker and managed to hit it two times in row but the third time she missed it and made a hit in her next try. With that the bat was done for but there were more of them still hovering around.

The writing is very well done. Exactly as I explained how players could use their CCA. It can be used to show off the efficiency of a trained sword of the luck of an idiot. Apart from the actual game system, how you go about expressing it in the story is up to you, you simply need to work within the boundaries of the Engagement Scenario.

One thing you did leave out is defending against the first sweep from the blutbatz. Unless you used the ATK dice roll as a counter, in which case, both you and the NPC would take -1HP

No was just making sure before i busted out a level 4 arte and not being ablwe to knock our two of them. Have to get ahead of Andromeda Arc somehow XD

Oh? should we make this a contest?(just kidding lol) yes of course we shouldnt go all out or else the ship will die and we all die. Have to remember that there are at least two(i think) of the four Monsters of the RP up here xD (seles doesnt count since she may be able to hold back Donar and Leira without belliums help)

Shin Positron Laser So just to make sure the Arte level 4 might actually kill them? and can i use defense dice in the same post as my 4 arte? i know i cant attack since I dont have the combo atk level yet so just wondering about the defense. Will otherwise have to post ready and done tonight.

According to the E.S. they would be down to zero however only KOed not killed even if the amount of damage exceeds the NPC's HP. You need an extra after that to kill them.

You can use artes and atk dice together, but not def dice and artes together.

 

[Jack Rakan]

Okay, thats all need to know.

 

[Andromeda Arc]

Shin Positron Laser wait wait, can we just use artes to block npcs attacks or are they still faster? also would we take damage still or no??

Yes you can use artes directly against their attacks. You should take no damage as Artes > physical. The arte will cancel their attack and they receive the full force of the HP damage.
