Indeed, there's no worries! We've all been there man, I'm p sure.
I'd actually be judging you if you weren't there!
Where's Axel? No hurry, though. Just wanted to make sure everyone got a post.
Will post tomorrow. Just got back from hospital so I'm exhausted. Hope Axel gets a word in by then, too.
Okay... my OCD got the better of me. Next post is ready and all typed up, but since the Docks is about to go through what happens to the docks in every super-hero movie, I'd like the full team to be ready to fight. If I hear nothing from our clown till tomorrow, I'm posting.
Heh, fair enough JK :p
Just got a message from Axel, due to current circumstances, he is currently unable to post, but he will be back in the team as soon as possible. Until then, we will continue as is.
Alright, I hop they'll be okay.
Adder post up (should help them catch up). Waiting for one more init check for the Dock team.
If waiting for Mick, his player is currently still out at work, ya could likely roll Init for him while waiting.
Does Atsuko actually know how to respond to the Phantom? XD
I'm sure it's just as simple as pressing a button on her earpiece and speaking.
Are the mics for the teams open channel? meaning that everyone can hear each other in their respective teams whenever someone uses their mic?
Sorry, haven't been on the site in a bit.
is back =^^=
welcome back :)
Sweet! roll for initiative and let's kick some ass :)
We waiting on someone or....?
Possibly Jester?
yeah I'd guess so
Jester or Jaster?
I'll post up, but Axel can join in the fray at any time.
I'm not exactly sure what the lizard man is doing, or what I need to do to counter with, as this is my first combat. Can you explain what exactly is going on?
You hit him, he may or may not have hit you, and then Thoughtform took over his body.
Er, alright? I'm sorry if I'm being stupid here. What should I roll to counter? Parry or toughness, or like... parry and then toughness?
Attacks in this game are d20+attack roll vs. 10+parry (melee) or 10+dodge (ranged). if the roll is equal or greater than the target's defense, then they are hit, and have to resist the attack.
The resistance roll is d20+toughness vs. 15+attack effect rating (or 10+effect rating if it's an affliction), which is apparently 28 in this case. If you equal or beat that with your toughness roll then great, you shrug off the attack, otherwise you take a bruise, and possibly more if you roll really badly (a bruise is -1 to future toughness rolls).
Alright, so I roll my defense check, and if their attack roll is greater then my own, I need to make a toughness check?
Hope I did that right... Sorry for the hold up there, Jaster, and thanks for helping to clear things up Peanuts. Also, could we maybe get an approximate list for initiative? It's a bit confusing currently, telling who goes when.
This is my first M&M game, and I find this information both valuable and informative :)
Alright, so I roll my defense check, and if their attack roll is greater then my own, I need to make a toughness check?
uhh no, they roll their attack against your parry defense (which is equal to 10+parry) much like AC in D&D, but then if they hit rather than them rolling damage you roll a toughness check against a DC based on the attack.
Summary:
They attack you, if they hit you roll to resist the damage.
Scaley rolled a 16, against your Parry of 10+13=23 which means he missed.
If he had gotten 23 or higher, you would have rolled 1d20+7 (your toughness) and had to beat a 28 (so you only could have made the save on a nat 20)
Also Mick, Thoughform didn't say to use non-lethal tactics, he just is using them himself :p He's old-fashioned that way
Ahh, I'm sorry man. This really is all new to me, but at least it didn't actually make a difference there?
yeah it's cool :) just wanting to make sure it's clear.
Yeah, its a fun system though. Wish there was more I could... Though it is nice to take people out and not have to worry.
sorry folks, i didnt get any updates. will post a small thing to hopefully reset the notification
Everyone good?
I think so? Not sure who's turn it is.
I'm lost aswell
Mick I think...

This'd be why I asked if an initiative order coulda been listed, or at least a vague sense of which guys go when.
*Glances at Dr. Apocalypse* I feel like you'd be better at interrogating people. XD
Funny how she forgets the fact that she can't speak while like that, even though she's supposed to have that perfect memory of hers, ahaha. I suppose that just adds to her ~charm~, eh?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
heh, well theres a difference between having perfect recall and actually thinking about/being aware of things :p
Axel is free to join at any time. He didn't miss the mission, I'm sure he was there the entire time. :)
Right- Are we able to RP us back at HQ now, or should we continue with the stuff at the police department?
Waiting for Thoughtform and Mick's response and then I've got you you all a brand-spanking-new mission.
uhhh right. I've kind of neglected the forums a bit lately, so reply may be a bit lackluster in the aim of just getting something out there :p
No biggie, man! I'll try to get Mick's player to post again as well, as it seems you took a leaf out of his own book. ;p
Well Uhh, sorry but I think think I should pull out, just not feeling like posting at all lately and I don't want to hold you guys up any more. Apologies.
Really? Jeaze, I'm sorry to hear that dude. We'll miss you around here, but take care out there.
Burnout happens.
Sorry to see you go.
Also, sorry I've been tardy with my posts Between work and family, my time at the Paizo boards have been precious and few, but don't worry, I'll try and manage.
