[QUOTE="AndrewRogue, post: 4101609, member: 60448"] Erec laughed before taking a long drag on the flask in his hand, his massive frame bouncing. "And that's when I grabbed the golem and just smashed its head into the wall! Whole damn thing broke!" Destiny smiled. "But didn't it get a few good hits on you first? I remember watching it land a couple blows at least." Erec snorted. "Bruises, at worst. They hurt and they're slowing me down a bit, but gimme a few hours, some good food, some drink and a chance to sleep. I'll be just like new!" Destiny shook her head. "You really are a monster, Erec." "Graaaaaaah!" Kiyone's blade slammed into the ground with devestating force, literally shattering the floor beneath her, the mere shockwave tearing the surrounding area apart. The power of the blow was unbelievable, but so was the toll on the 'Kin girl. Even as she recovered to renew her attack on the, now, dismayed goblins, a slight tremor in her body was evident. She was even breathing hard. It'd be some time before she could manage that again. [B]Alternately[/B] Hioshi looked out grimly at the field of the undead advancing on him. He hadn't wanted to use this technique so early, but it looked like he had no choice. Focusing inward, he invoked a small prayer to the ancient spirits, asking them to use him as a vessel for their power. To expend whatever energy they needed to destroy the shambling horde. It would drain him, yes, but it would eliminate the majority of the threat. He could only hope that his sword would be enough to deal with whatever remained after. Terry smiled as he slipped inside his enemy's guard. He'd been waiting for this chance all battle. Sure, they wouldn't fall for it again soon, but, if it worked right, he wouldn't need them to. [B]Alternately[/B] The Capuchin leapt forward, grabbing onto the warrior and delivering a powerful knee to his gut. Twisting, it slammed him into the ground, before lifting him into the air and hurling him once more to the ground. The move was absolutely devestating, knocking the wind (and possibly the conciousness) from his body. Keith grinned. "Why don't you come over here and do that to a couple of these guys?" he shouted as he deflected an attack, countering with a barrage of crossbow bolts. "It is exhausting. Give me some time to catch my breath!" The Capuchin yelled back playfully, delivering a stunning roundhouse kick to a warrior who tried to capitalize on its seeming distraction. "You should try it! See how hard it is!" What I'm trying to get at some level here is that, well, the answer depends on the move and the character and the situation, I think. Which makes perfect sense to me.
