Testing our Skills
Bolo looks from the felled lizard to her own hand and gives a rare address to the entire group. "We should add 'way' training to our regimen, try to stun or paralyze each other to increase our resistance to it."
Sheldon looks up from skinning the lizard. "
That sounds like an excellent idea, as there is no real damage to worry about. Whether we think of it as paralyze or sleep or stun, the effect is the same, we are causing the target to lose its mental function. This is not permanent and the victim will recover after a certain number of hours, but we could also practice returning the unconscious victim to full cognition."
He pauses for a moment. "
Just in case, we should only do this on ourselves once a day. There might be some residual effect if used too often on the same person."
Indigo, on the fringe of the conversation, speaks up. "
I will go first, Bolo, if you would like to try; though, I would like to be sitting. I don't want to fall on my face if you succeed."
Indigo sits near the fire, and Bolo places her hand on top of the other woman's head, concentrating.
[sblock=Bolo's Attempt]d100 + Essence + Mind + Cohesion + Knowledge + Personality + Collegiate =
51 + 10 + 10 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 87
[/sblock]
[sblock=Indigo's Resistance]09 + 10 + 10 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 45
[/sblock]
[sblock=Effect]87 - 45 = 42% * 14 = 6
[/sblock]
GM: | Indigo: Mind(10) - 6 = 4 confused, somewhat dazed, easily commanded | |
Merin who has now had more practice attempts to reverse the effect by himself and places his hand on Indigo's head.
[sblock=Merin's Aid]Essence + Mind + Cohesion + Knowledge + Will + Collegiate + Aberrative - d100 =
10 + 10 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 10 + 1 - 28 = 11% * 5 = 1
[/sblock]
GM: | Indigo: Mind(4) + 1 = 5 still confused | |
Sheldon stops for a moment, cleans his hands and motions for Tor to join him.
[sblock=Sheldon and Tor combined aid]Tor: 32 + Sheldon: 41 - d100: 29 = 44% * (4 + 8) = 5
[/sblock]
GM: | Indigo: Mind(5) + 5 = 10 full recovery | |
Indigo plainly states. "
I don't like that. I do not want to try again today. Maybe another day."
