[QUOTE="seankreynolds, post: 8033565, member: 3029"] I've investigated a bit and it sounds like you were playing part of a short adventure called Trailblazer Trials, and in that there are some fights against creatures with Armor 2 or Armor 3 (which is still significant, even though it isn't Armor 5). One solo creature is "the monstrosity," there's one big giant cragworm (kinda like a D&D purple worm), and some groups of scaly humanoids called chirogs. I can see how even that much Armor would be annoying to your poor Nano and their 2-damage light weapon. It sounds like there might have been some miscommunication or confusion about what your character was able to do--I think you might have been playing Marulas the Nano, one of the pregens included in the book, they have a knife and the Onslaught ability, and Onslaught definitely can be a physical bolt or a psychic (Armor-ignoring) blast, and Onslaught is the go-to ability for Nanos in combat, and would have been a good option whether you went force or psychic. Anyway, I'm sorry you had a bad experience playing Numenera. If you're willing to give it another try, I'll toot my own horn and say that I wrote our Free RPG Day quickstart/adventure for 2018, called Ashes of the Sea, and we've had a lot of really positive feedback about it (how it showcases the system and setting).
