OCC Beyond Freedom (M&M PbP) FULL

[themaxx]

I'm a bit confused, since it looks like nothing happened on my initiative...

I think I want to look for the mysterious source of 'force.' I'll stay darkened (a small radius, maybe 3'), and look around. I will take any chance to have trees grab enemies.

I'm going to be very busy this weekend, so I apologize in advance if my posting is slow or brief. I'll be happy to let Sen do stuff for me if I don't predetermine it, and I'll do my best.

For now I'd like to try to immobilize any enemies with the trees (not sure what move they should have, if any), or I'll blast and/or chase folks who are still up (and slightly hurt). Sound good for now?

Yea sorry I might not have been very clear with what Winters could do... You saw Mercury Mercenary pop around the building and attack Apollo and then run. That building was a ways off, so that you would have to charge in order to get to the corner if you wanted to try and attack him (you are not sure if he took cover or anything like that though...
You kind of saw where Marionette was and that was one round away from the trees getting over there to try and grab her (concentration this round, grapple in round 5). OR you could just shot blind, etc into the area to try and hit her...

Can Extra Effort be used to get another 1/2 action? I was thinking of going all out against Brimstone this round by rapid shooting AoE missiles, but I need move to trap deathknight too. BTW, please stay away from Brimstone. Since he probably has a bad reflex save, he'll probably take full effect from the missiles even if I miss. But I can only attack like that if there's no people and things that shouldn't blown up in the area. Say yes to mass destruction.

Might want to say that over the loud speekers or something as your group does not have radios or anything

Well I don't think that you can take extra action without Heroic Surge... only because under the Heroic Surge it says that "Any further uses of Heroic Surge in the same day cause you to become fatigued (unless you spend a Hero Point to overcome the fatigue.)" that sort of leads me to believe that the only way to take this is if you have that Heroic Feat.

Now Under Extra Effort you can use Increase Movement where you double your movement for a round (so you could have gone 100ft this last round) if that is what you are thinking. That also causes faigue unless you spend a Hero point to overcome it.

Okay, I thought that since you could use extra effort to pick up power stunts and stuff, that it could duplicate a feat like heroic surge.

Actually, let's just let it go. It's fine the way it played out, I'll start after Brimstone after we knock out Marguesse and return to the fray.

Just wanted to say I think you're great job trying to keep this many people going in a jumbled chaotic combat.

Keep up the good work

Until I have more time, I'd like to leave my actions to Sen to interpret. I'm going to try to isolate/immobiize/disable Marionette, probably by using the plants or a radiation blast. Sound good for now? Tomorrow my life returns to semi-normal, and I'll try to narrate more...

ALSO: I'm going to assume that last round (since no action was really listed) that I got closer to Marionette or Merc. Merc., and moved plants? (even though I can't technically animate them??) I'm confused. Let's say I'll help isolate and point out marionette (I've got some kind of bead on him) and shoot. Sound good for now?

hmm that is actually a pretty good point. You can use Extra effort to get an stunt, but it doesn't say anything about feats. It doesn't say you can't take them but I am not 100% sure either way. What are other's thoughts about this? I don't mind either way but then I am not 100% sure I want people to be able to pick up feats with Hero points...

 

[Keia]

I can see both sides of this debate. On one side, power stunts are effectively feats: they are described as such and cost the same amount. On the other side, the rules don't allow for it and the little gm voice in me says that there would be problems.

If it was allowed, all of the prerequisites would have to be met for the feat to acquire it for a hero point for one round.

I'll look on the Green Ronin boards for a potential answer.

Okay, no big deal. I just misunderstood the rules.

I was planning on getting Heroic surge in the future, anyway.
