    Acronyms

    W.O.I.N. is the only true acronym. The others are just stylistic.

    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    After reading your post, I agree. I'll give this a go for the combat next week and see if that works to convince them.

    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    Cool, I'll definitely try this out. I should probably mention that we have been restricting defence scores based on pool limit since AGI characters can easily achieve impossible to hit defences otherwise. Using this adjustment you just made should mitigate this though. If you see this before my...

    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    When I was talking about monsters trading dice, I was speaking specifically about their damage output. Using the Amazon from the bestiary as an example against a Player with the same pool limit of 6d6, the Amazon uses its Shortsword to attack the player's Melee Defence (which is 21 since they...

    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    Thanks for the suggestions Morrus. I am already implementing your suggestion about the lower defences and will make the suggestion to them about LUC dice. The reason I mentioned monsters trading dice is that with SOAK and the low damage output of monsters, it becomes very hard to hurt players...

    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    Hi Morrus, my group is experiencing something similar to the original questions about defences earlier in this thread. In short, a regular comment during our games is that there is never any point in trading die for damage or effects because the monsters defences are usually equal to their...

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    We are running a multiverse setting, so all three game types. Characters can take career grades from any setting, any available universal exploit they qualify for, and learn any form of Magic, Psi, or Chi (but we'll probably limit Chi now until there is more to work with). It is essentially a...

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    Alright, that's what I thought but I'm glad I clarified with you. Thanks for answering all my questions! I hope it didn't feel like I was pestering you with the constant responses. Now my group can refine our play experience further!

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    Excellent! So along that same line of thought, are reaction exploits also once a turn or are they once a round? By which I mean, could you say use Blink to dodge on multiple enemy turns if you had enough Psi points or, to use a non-TALENT example, could you use Quick Stand whenever an enemy...

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    Ah okay, so technically could you combine exploits twice a turn if the exploits in each combination set were all different from each other?

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    When you put it like that I suppose its really just flavor, though in some cases combined damage types could be significant for avoiding single type SOAK. Based on your earlier post in this thread though it would be impossible to use them one at a time over two actions since you can only uses...

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    Awesome! :) That makes sense. Can you combine two single action exploits into one double action exploit?

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    Okay, thanks Morrus! I was hoping this was the case. Any thought on the combining of Psionic exploits?

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    It was mainly about combining with universal exploits actually but here are a couple purely psionic combinations that got brought up: Pyrokinetic Blast and Electrokinetic Blast to create an attack that does both lightning and fire damage, Psychic Healing and Biofeedback to create a power that...

    Psionics and Chi Exploits

    Sorry, I was referring to WOIN. Did I tag the post wrong?
