EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Calinon]

Ok how about we assume I never spend a hero point if I roll better than ten. I do have a rules question, how often do you get new hero points? My other general rule is dependent on that. If the resupply is frequent, then I'll use a hero point when I roll an attack lower than 6. If not, I will have to do it case by case.

buzzard

Hero points will reset at the beginning of each "chapter". Chapter length will vary, but probably run 15-20 pages in length. They won't reset based on an in game time frame, so even if one chapter covers several months of time, while another only covered a few days, you only get your standard allotment of hero points per chapter.

It might just be better to base your hero point use for attacks and skill checks on a incident by incident basis, since various opponents will be of obviously different abilities. Jackal versus a street cop for example. You might want to re-roll that 15 against Jackal, but against a street cop be confident that it grapples him; both are below ten on the dice roll for Straightjacket for example.

But I can definitely apply a general rule to individual characters if you prefer that. Either way, your choice

The Arcade
Vince and Randall, along with a number of other students, have rushed to the arcade. It is an amazing room, about 50' x 30', filled with loud sounds and flashing lights of holographic video games. A 3D head to head space combat simulator is in the center of the room, begging to be played. The sounds are loud enough, once you add the sounds of teens playing the games, that none of you notice the battle going on outside.

OOC: Is there any chance of Loki noticing the kaffufle? He's a pretty obsevant fellow, maybe the actions of a bystander could clue him in? Loki can read lips, and has super sight, I was just wondering if you made a die roll or something.

Rolls were made, I just don't report all rolls. Those in the arcade have nearly zero chance of noticing anything unless it is happening directly outside the door and a stray fireball ends up detonating inside.

Loki is just sacred I am going to OWN him in this video game.

I imagine I'll try to wrap him up again. If the shapechange will get him free, I'll try to stretch and completely englobe him so there isn't a way out (call it a pin maybe).

buzzard

I am being descriptive with him changing shape, rather than saying you hit or miss. What actually happened is your roll didn't beat his defense, so he escaped your clutches. It was close, so he had to have been clever to do it.

When you guys use your powers, make sure to post something like what Agamon did with his transmutation. It's not 100% necessary, but it avoids me making calls on what you are or are not using. Using Mimic as an example, he might do this with Michelle:

OOC: Activate force field +8 (free action), Energy blast +8S at Jackal (half action), Activate flight (half action)

Just an example. All the +8, free action stuff isn't needed, but makes my life easier. But describing the powers/skills you are using avoids me being able to use it against you, like saying "Sorry, you didn't say you raised your force field..." Muahaha, the evil power I have...

Will do. Though for future reference, envelop should be viewed as use growth(6) to max size, and then do a grapple attack on the target if within reach (20').

Just out of curiosity is there anyone else in the terminal besides us?

Currently, Rebound is standing nearest the brick wall created by Neutron. Pooky is atop it. Straightjacket is about 10' from Rebound, and another 10' (pretty much a straight line) from Jackal's back. X12 is between Jackal and the still unconscious Cosmo, trying to recover from Jackal's trickery. Neutron and Amazon stand about twenty feet to the left of Jackal. Grandmother is a few feet behind them sitting on a bench. Stealer is near the bottom of the stairs with Johan, about 30' past Jackal.

And where is Michelle standing?

The facility appears vacant, though there are security monitors. Michelle is by the stairs, well out of the way of the fracas.
