So that's it. Everytime I see a defense stat they didn't have a plus.

That little "+" makes everything fit now. So you need to roll a defense.

Off to work will update tonight.

The "+" means that defenses are used both as DCs for attacks and for "saving rolls".
Standard attacks (ranged & closed non-area) are against the DC. You get the DC by assume a routine check (3e term for "take 10") on the defense roll (similar like D&D adds a 10 in its AC math).*
Area attacks (for example) have usually a dodge DC determined by the effect level +10. The attacked party rolls Dodge and adds a 10.

So, usually only one side rolls a die during the attack.

*But there is the defense action that allows a roll instead and you roll a 10 to any roll below 11.

Yeah, basically what WD said. Her "AC" is 21, but whenever she has to make a dodge/parry check, she rolls 1d20+11 (Such as if she takes the defend action, or is caught in an area effect attack)

My first read through of the rules must have been while I was half asleep. Or maybe I took things for granted as they are like 3.5 somewhat.

But still learning here so I hope everyone is ok with my growing pains.

Trying to go over rd 2.

For Jacie I wish to forgo the dodge roll to avoid the power and have her auto trapped, but in turn as a free action next round she can blast her way out. As this adds to the drama and that is always a good thing.

For speed during pbp I think it best that I roll any defense checks for your characters soothers will know and be able to post their actions based on the info.

Speaking of posting actions - please OOC in your actions and label them for me (listing related power as well) Example WD - you said you could suit up as a free action do to Quickness - But I don't see that power listed on your sheet. I was looking for it's power rank to see how long it took. Getting dressed [time rank 5] - Power rank = time to don suit (and only -2 rank or lower actions get to be free)

Ok going to do some updating and see if we can get everything straight here.

Speed Power Profile:

In a blur of motion, you can instantly change your
clothes, allowing you to switch into your costume
(for example) or back into civilian garb. If you have
5 or more ranks of Fast Action (following), then you
don’t need this feature, as it can do the same thing.

...

Fast Action: Quickness • 1 point per rank.

Greyhound has quickness 10.
I will work on my ooc stuff, I just thought I add some flavor to the Initiative check roll by describing the free action.

OOC:
Free action: change clothes (quickness 10)

It is just over the recovery power (which is an alternate power, channeling his speed inward).

Super-Speed:
Quick Reaction: Enhanced Initiative 3 • 3 points
Super Movement: Quickness 10, Speed 15 (64,000 MPH)• 25 points
• Super Recovery: Regeneration 10 (persistent) • 1 point

**Moving on Tuesday, Not sure how long till I have internet at the new place, so may be posting off my phone for a while, so will likely be slow.
Also be pretty busy packing & moving the next couple days.

So in general, my posting will likely be intermittent for the next week or two.
Apologies.

Also, I think we missed an opportunity.. Michelle vs Lightshow.. battle of the Dazzlers.

BTW, Graybeards re-roll hits a 28. HP re-rolls add 10 to any roll below 11.

sorry for being slow and missing this, but are we suppose to be at our 150 pp form now instead of a powering up style thing?

Walking Dad · Oct 5, 2012

Mongoose girl actually failed her toughness check by three degrees.

Greyhound hit a 30, which is two degrees over the parry DC (21). This increases her toughness DC by 2 to 26. 26-16= 10 = 2 degrees (-2 of further toughness saves and dazed).
Or did I miss something?

This may sound like his attack is really powerful, but I gambled for a nearly full power attack and rolled a 19.

HolyMan · Oct 5, 2012

I thought degrees were measured in 5 point increments. At work now so don't have access to my pdf.

If you have a skill or power that changes that please let me know.
