Superheroes of the Trust OOC Thread II

[Fangor the Fierce]

Am I able to Extra Effort still and try to KO the Bee as well? Not sure on that... but now's the time to ask! If so, I would like to do so! Rolling if possible: Extra Effort Blast (1d20 11=30)

You GOTTA be kidding me! That's ALMOST another crit, but either way, that's a 30 to hit! Might as well take care of the snare that was provided!

It's the usual DC 10 Recovery check (Con + regen bonus). Hope has 16 Con, so she'd need to roll a 7. But isn't it like 8 or 9 rounds before she can recover? I don't really see the fight lasting that long. And if we win, Wren will probably get with the healing quickly. And if we lose, Guardian has the perfect chance to follow up on her threat.

I just noticed that Hope is only 25. I had her pegged as late twenties, early 30s. She's actually younger than Star.

How old is Star? I don't see it on your character sheet. I would have called Star to be about 23. And I'm surprised Hope is only 25- I would have called her at about 30-32. I never listed Nitro's age- he's supposed to be about 27.

Sure, you should be able to do this. I mentioned that Viridian is before Wren in the order, so since the last action Matt resolved belongs to you, it's even your turn still. Extra Effort can be used once a round as a free action and it's perfectly legal to take a move action, attack as a standard action and then decide if you want to Surge. Then you just have to spend a hero point when your turn rolls around next round or you suffer fatigue. Nice shot- you might want to post this in the IC thread along with a description. Something like:

"Next." Wren sees that Killer Bee has been immobilized by Viridian's powers. "I guess you are next." BAM!

You are right, It does seem odd, I'll change her age if that's okay, to about 28 or so. Make's a bit more sense that way.
Okay, so I rolled....

A 9.

She woke up, but is playing 'dead' right now, hording her strength until she can act as it were. Drawing attention to herself would be bad right now.

You don't get to roll until a minute has passed since you were KOd. It hasn't been anywhere near a minute yet- that's 10 rounds and it's been 1. 9 more to go.

I was also confused about Star's age. Her being in college and being close to her mother like that implied that she was younger, though I figured she was a little on the old end for someone in college...but I didn't really think she was in her late 20s as seems to be the case. 25 is slightly young for Hope to be reasonably-accomplished as an FBI agent, but not necessary in TV/movie/comic book years where everyone is a bit too young for their job and rank.

Well, I switched it to 29. If that's okay.

Okay. Darn rounds ^_^ Anyway, um... if Wren doesn't make it in nine rounds, she'll wake up then.

Is Guardian using energy damage or physical damage for Bladestorm? If it's physical damage, Nitro should only be bruised, not injured.

Also, how far did we get blasted across the desert? If Nitro can put more distance between himself and Apollo by decreasing Knockback with Acrobatics, I'd like to do that

Edit- Victim, to answer your question about Demoralize, Shaken is correct in the combat chapter and incorrect in the Demoralize description, where it's been errata'd to also give a penalty to saves.

 

[Victim]

Yeah, I figured it had been addressed someplace - I sort of remembered you asking a question about it actually - but it was getting late.

BTW, is there any reason you did Distract and then demoralize? If you did the demoralize first, wouldn't that have a chance of making the Distract easier?

Dang, I thought Apollo would be going ahead of Guardian and Nitro.

Star is 26 - I think I've referenced it indirectlly before, if I haven't explicitly stated it - but is supposed to be youthful seeming. I figured that her medical issues would leave her significantly behind a conventional time table. Her life isn't exactly taking off.

D'oh! I was initially planning to Distract and then use Startle as a move action but then I decided that wasn't as appropriate and switched it to Demoralize. So I never even thought of that. Matt, any chance that if my Distract lost by 2 or less than we can ret-con this to me having done them in the correct order?

Dang, I thought Apollo would be going ahead of Guardian and Nitro.

He was initially before Guardian and Nitro, but got delayed last round when Warmind had to open the blast doors. I think he's still before Nitro, though.

Ah, yes. I hadn't pieced it together before. From two separate posts:

Megan squirms, "Well." Do I really want to talk about this? Well, she'll probably find out anyway eventually, and I'd rather be one. Plus I like her. "I got my powers when I was eight; I can barely remember not having them. Trying to be normal and going to school isn't really me either. It's hard to remember not to move so fast that I blur or that I need to at least look like I'm supporting my weight on something all the time I'm not at home."

Then later:

"Yeah, well, everyone else would probably be better off if I wasn't able to make it on the next mission." People always need to take care of me. That's pathetic for having powers for 18 years. She can heal me all she wants, but that's not going to fix me.
