with my impervious 10, wouldnt the brass knuckles, with a +10, be useless?

With the samurai's sword sheathed Jo relaxes herself slightly and gives him a smile "I'm with the others, the ones fighting them off. To be honest I came down here in order to make sure you were not with them and I'll take a risk that you're being truthful mostly because I don't have much interest in going head to head with you"

"Any chance you would be willing to lend a hand in taking them down? I think the others will be able to do it but better safe then sorry and you certainly look capable of handling yourself in a fight" Jo says as she takes a glance back at the ongoing battle "Me I prefer to work from the sidelines and ideall not actually fight at all, unfortunately this sort of threat is not one that allows for easy use of my other talents." Jo says with a shrug searching the general area for any of the discarded and still functional ranged weapons.

Assuming Jo can nap a gun of some sort and that it still works she will be seeking out some form of cover and if possible also taking a shot from as far as she can on Living Lightning

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

with my impervious 10, wouldnt the brass knuckles, with a +10, be useless?

Impervious: A defense with this modifier is highly resistant. Any effect with a resistance difficulty modifier equal to or less than half the Impervious rank (rounded up) has no effect. So, for example, Impervious Toughness 9 ignores any Damage with a rank of 5 or less. Penetrating effects can overcome Impervious Resistance (see the Penetrating extra description). You're being hit by a super with a str of 10 and can change his fists into any metal he wants, he is not your average human wearing brass knuckles.

Cat darts from cover to grab one of the discarded Hsmart guns and scrambles back under cover before taking a pop-shot at Living Lighting
The Hsmart gun fires a bolt of sticky green goo that passes right through Living Lighting with no effect.

Aren't you in your ranged form? You can only change forms on your turn so you need to tell me when you do change. I'll let it slide this time.

Chris 114 shifts into his melee form just in time to absorb Alloys punch.

Ogami is up.

"Cosmos to Cat, Hey look! Liberteen and Chris are here too! We are even less alone than we thought. a near miss from a fireblast echos through the comlink, "We should try to get their numbers so next time we can just call them. I think you and I are the only ones who monitor radio transmissions as a hobby... I bet Liberteen is going to insist we shine a liberty bell on the clouds though... that would be awesome!"

"I understand, Cat. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, yes?"

Ogami aims his bow and takes a shot at Living Lightning.

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

aaaaaargggg wasted a crit, oh well

"I noticed, as much as it bothers me that we have a kid doing this sort of thing I guess I can't exactly complain since she or Chris are probably going to end up being the reason why I don't get fried or splattered. It looks like I managed to get us a bit of backup, the samurai wasn't with them and at least for the moment he's with us."

Ogami's arrow is quick but Living Lightning is quicker and flickers out the arrows path.

Vohon once again focus on disarming Capt.Cosmos, ATK vs Capt. Cosmos: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 5 = 13 and gets exactly the same results, and die roll as last time.

Qnetic assesses that the enemy really can't see or hurt him, so he focuses all his effort into a single telekinetic attack against Vohon, the only one who can track him down.

ATHENA continues to fail at getting a lock on the wounded cops and Smarties. If ATHENA is not engaging in combat she can take ten to beam out the wounded.

RC Vohon: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 1 = 23, QNetic's TK hits hard but the blow is absorbed by Vohon's thick coat and only bruises the great Bear, -1.

"eEEnouuGh bouncccIng arrOUnd, tiiIme to frry liTTle GirrLL." Living Lightning crackles before focusing it's attack on Liberteen. ATK vs Liberteen: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25, Living Lighting grounds out on Liberteen, a toughness RC please.

"TOY RAY GUN? Do you really want to make this personal?!?!?"
Cosmos dives and rolls for cover behind some crates. I'm looking for some cover bonus from the 'Heat rays'. From his covered position he yells to Vohon, "What's the deal with your powers? I get Russian Bear, That's a good theme. I like it..." In the middle of taunting Cosmos blasts the bear-man. "but what's with the fire? That doesn't make any sense.

Standard blast attack PL10: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"I'M NOT RUSSIAN, SPACEMAN SPIFF!" Vohon roars as he sidesteps Cosmos' ray blast.

Chris attacks once more with his scythe-like arm is my penetration doing anything? if not, i might switch to multiattack

@Chris 114 - The power level of your attack easily bypasses any impervious ranks Alloy has.
@Capt. Cosmos - Forget to answer your earlier question, the dazed condition only lasts until the end of the affected characters next turn.

Sparks fly as the hardened bone of Chris' scythe is deflected by Alloy's carbide armor. "Give up fool, metal always beats flesh. Runaway while you still can." Alloy taunts.

Liberteen smolders in a pile on the ground. Liberteen's hyper-healing will kick in next turn.

Alloy ties to land a haymaker on Chris 114, ATK vs Chris 114: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13, but is blocked by Chris.

As the two powerhouses duke it out the Ice Queen continues to wave her arms about causing the intensity of the unnatural snowstorm to increase, visibility is reduced even more giving the villains full concealment, -5 attack penalty to all non-area effect attacks.

does that count even melee attacks?

does that count even melee attacks?

Yes.

Just checking but my Infravision is not helping? I'd think a snowstorm would be ideal for it to aid me against the icylady's attempts at concealment

Just checking but my Infravision is not helping? I'd think a snowstorm would be ideal for it to aid me against the icylady's attempts at concealment

Infrared would still work.

Jo let out a sigh as the icy woman intensified the snowstorm she was creating making it difficult to actually see anything normally, thankfully the cowls built in infravision alleviated that issue. For herself. The others were certainly capable of rather fantastic feats but actually accomplishing anything in this storm short of blasting an entire area was likely to become increasingly difficult.

"Zed we need to take down Frosty she's going to make thing way too difficult if we let her stick around" Jo said as she took aim on the Ice woman firing off a blast at her and then if necessary providing Zed with direction on where the woman was. Once her shot is fired Jo scurries away to find another hiding spot.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Would it be possible for me to make a Technology roll in an effort to identify exactly what this weapon does?

@Cat - DC15 for basic info, each degree above gives more info.

Cold Snap raises an ice shield to deflect the attack, deflect: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18, Cat is quicker and bypasses her shield.
resistance check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12, A bolt of green goo impacts Cold Snap hard knocking her to her knees, she is staggered -1.

Ogami draws his sword and slashes Cold Snap. "I come for you, cold one."

Ogami rushes out of the shadows and charges Cold Snap, Cold Snap instinctively throws up an ice shield to deflect Ogami's sword, deflect: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15, and is to the samurai's precision attack.
resistance check: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 1 = 24, Even though the Samurai is able to bypass her defenses Ogami's blade only chips the ice coating Cold Snap, -1.

Upon seeing his beloved being attacked Vohon ceases his attack on Capt. Cosmos and bear rushes Ogami, 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15, but Ogami is swift and easy side steps the fiery claws.

Taking 10 to Transmat NYPD officer

Dammit, Doc, looks like we need me. Qnetic flies over to where Liberteen has fallen (Move), switching to his Biomanipulator form (Free). He sighs, a sneer on his face. Already, that figures. What did I ever do without me?

He looks down at the fallen heroine and she begins to heal.(Standard)

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Nope, that won't do. Spending a hero point to re-roll.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 vs DC 10, four degrees of success. Liberteen recovers from her 4 worst conditions (which I think means she's fully healed.)

I'll send you the bill.

He morphs into his Personal Focus form, ready to defend himself and Liberteen as needed. (Free)

@QNetic - You can only shift forms once per round, you are still in DR. QNetic form.

QNetic swoops down to the downed Liberteen, shifting forms as he does. Giving extra effort QNetic pours vitality into Liberteen healing her completely.

Living Lightning seeing it's handiwork undone attacks Liberteen and the newly corporal DR. QNetic, ATK vs Liberteen: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 1 = 21
ATK vs QNetic: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 1 = 13, and hugs both with an electric embrace. "IIii'd LoVe toooO play LooNger but weEEre onNnn a DdeaddLIIne soooO IF Yyyoou'd sTtay Dowwn Ii'd really aPpreciate ITt."

Cat's right. Gotta take out Cold Snap.

Cosmos fires his blaster at Cold Snap. Penalty included in roll:
Standard blast PL10: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 5 = 23

Did that hit? My Dodge is a 6 (16 Defense, right?)

Might be an area attack

based on the -1 modifier, it looks like a multi attack.

does the earlier ruling mean my -2 is gone? i am kinda confused

claw, multiattack, reach: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 - 5 = 21

Chris shifts his attack and renews his assault on Alloy, having no real way to see the woman causing the terrible cloud.

@QNetic - It was a melee attack so it would go against your parry not dodge. Living Lighting hasn't been throwing electrical bolts it's been zipping around touching people.

@Chris 114 - the -2 for partial concealment was increased to -5 for total concealment, so it is only a -5 to your melee and ranged attacks. Your attack roll would be 23 not 21. Until you heal you still have the -2 from damage but that is only applied to your damage resistance checks.

Capt. Cosmos' aim bypasses Cold Snap's defenses and gets a direct hit knocking her unconscious.RC: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 2 = 13

The titan of flesh lands a heavy blow on the titan of metal, RC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16, raising a shower of sparks and staggering Alloy.

Should LL's melee attack have been affected by the fog/snow?

@QNetic - The snowstorm is an area effect and selective, Cold Snap chose not to include her allies. In anticipation of your next question, the snowstorm will start to fade at the end of this turn.

Doc QNetic is totally shocked that Living Lighting would attack a field medic and is dazed -1 because of it.

Alloy calls out, RETREAT WE'RE OUTNUMBERED AND COLD SNAP IS DOWN. LET'S GRAB WHAT WE HAVE AND GET OUT OF HERE, LAZARUS WILL HAVE TO CONTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE.LIGHTNING COVER US. Alloy then collapses into a large puddle of silvery liquid and flows over to Cold Snap enveloping her.

Cat is up.

so if i understand correctly, they have an ice barge with crates on it, and that is what they are stealing? if so, my goals just shifted from attacking them to loss prevention

Alright so Bulba I have this idea for what I might want to do, but I'm not entirely sure if it would work. I'd like to theoretically spend a Hero Point in order to have Cat push the gun to it's limits and put out all the power it has in order to try and blast Alloy and knock him out in one go. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Would simply re-rolling a poor roll likely accomplish what I'm looking for or is there something more I could theoretically do with what I currently know about the gun? I think regardless I will use a Hero Point to get that Inspiration effect.

@Chris 114 - That is correct, they have 9 shipping containers on the barge right now.

@Cat - Inspiration: There's not much you could do to the gun that would be capable of knocking Alloy out in one hit but you could rig it to overload and cause a concussion wave that could knock Alloy into the harbor (the only metals that float also react very badly with water). It wouldn't knock him out but it would remove him from combat until he can climb out in 3 to 4 combat rounds.

Toughness check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

"Ungh... what happened? Last thing I remember, I was fighting, then there was a flash and a lot of pain. Did someone get the number of the truck that hit me?"

As Liberteen recovers and tries to figure out what happened she is blindsided by Living Lighting and Staggered once again.
