[sblock=Stunt]What would I need to do to make a spinning whirlwind attack of doom against these skeletons? Basically, since I know I'm not really going for a lot of damage here, I was thinking just switching to the flat of my axe blade, holding it out, and attempting to spin and scatter their bones.
Is that what you mean by stunts?[/sblock]

//Yeah. That's what I mean by stunts. It's freeform. You tell me what actions, skills, powers, etc. you want to 'bid' on the stunt and your intended effect. (You can even bid healing surges to represent extreme effort.) Then, you make the rolls. (And an attack roll for each target.) Based on the results, we apply the effects.
For instance, in the whirlwind of doom, you could say that you're going to put an attack and move action into it. The skill you're going to associate with it is athletics, and you're willing to 'pay' a 'stunt tax' of -4 on all your attack rolls with -4 damage. You'd make the athletics check and attack rolls for each skeleton.//

As the last few skeletons fly at Vaunea and then surround her, her eyes turn a deep shade of red as a roar comes out of her, darker than any the people in the dome had heard before. Vaunea seems to go into a rage as she holds out her axe and as blood drips from her hands, she flies into a tornado of chaos, striking at all in her path.
[sblock=Actions]Minor Action: Activate Battlecrazed Large Battleaxe (gain Regen 6) -- Do I get those points now for this round?
Standard and Move Action -> Burn Goring Charge and 2 healing surges for the whirlwind attack of doom, using Athletics, attempting to whirl and move at the same time to hit as many skeletons as possible (-2 to the attacks because Vaunea only cares about hitting the minions and is using a healing surge. Damage is inconsequential, since all hits cause at least 1 point of damage). I am hoping that the second healing surge might allow me to be like a top and spin around towards square P7 or so...if more attacks are needed, go ahead and roll them with the 1d20+7.
Athletics=1d20+8
To Hit=1d20+7 (x8)
Let me know exactly what that does...

//Sorry, regeneration provides you with points at the start of your turn. Since Vaunea wasn't bloodied until she activated the axe (i.e. after the start), she has to wait until her next turn for the 6 HP.
Sorry it took so long to post. Wanted to think about it a bit.//
The crowd screams in horror, then in pleasure as Vaunea cuts loose.
The Approvalometer (tm) pulses with their combined psychic energy and shoots a bolt of energy into the minotaur. As she glows with green radiance, blood flows from her nostrils, eyes, and ears, pouring upwards into a small stormcloud of blood vapor. Little red lightnings dance in it. Vaunea launches into a frenzy, striking out at the skeletons around her, while the audience rhythmically screams her name. With each blow, a bolt of blood-lightning strikes a Legionairre.
Four Legionairres fall, never to rise or replicate.
Vaunea, dizzied, finds herself in a new position. The blood-storm disperses, scattering a fine mist of life fluid on the field. Every bone and muscle in Vaunea's body aches. (-1 on all rolls until EONT.)
But the audience LOVES it.
ROUND 3
Mr. Pinch's voice cries out:
One of the broiling mass of bones conglomerates into a flying, heaping blob of bone fragments. All the skulls within it scream in pain. The nearby skeletons edge away from it.
One again, Pinch entones:
The other pile of bones surges upwards into a buzzing, killing collective!
With a loud pop, a green disk appears on the ground, in the southeast corner of the arena.

Power (Consumable): Minor Action. Drink this potion and spend a healing surge. You regain all lost Hit Points. However, because Uncle Mikey made this potion with super-hot peppers, you experience unbelievable searing pain in your mouth and bowels. Your tongue swells, and you cannot speak (or consume any other potions). Your nose runs, your eyes tear, and you become dizzy from the pain: -2 to all attack rolls and defenses. A successful save ends the harmful side effects.

UNCLE MIKEY’S GO JUICE
Base Item: Potion
Power (Consumable): Minor Action. When you drink Uncle Mikey’s Go Juice, you gain a +1 bonus to Speed, Armor Class, and Reflexes, as well as the ability to perform an extra basic attack once per round, as a free action, on your turn. This Go Juice effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
Once the first effect of the Go Juice wears off, you begin to get the jitters. When you post, you cannot place spaces, capitalization, or punctuation in your character’s speech. You still gain a +1 bonus to Speed and may perform an extra basic attack, once per round, as a free action, on your turn. However, you suffer a -1 penalty to all attack rolls and defenses.

Screams emerge from the fire storm, some sound human while others are impossible to decipher. The heat-induced shattering of bone can be heard even through the roar of the flames and screams. The audience waits in hushed anticipation for the outcome, as if Drivan had just taken his final putt at the Masters...
