![]() Dante takes 36 thanks to resist 12+ and Roll With It applying to the first hit. After getting knocked down by a perfectly-placed attack, Dante recovers with a sweeping kick... Slick Feint vs MD: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27 - dazed then thrusts his rapier at another bandit... Slick Feint second attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 = 14 Okay, let's try this... Just as Dante slips on a wet patch of cavern floor, Lady Elizabeth throws one of Dante's daggers at the bandit looming over him, the hilt hitting the bandit in the back of the head. Reroll that 1: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 26 for damage: 5d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 1, 2) + 8 = 22 The distraction gives Dante just enough time to recover his footing and attack the bandit from a much stronger position. "Excellent timing, darling," he comments. hp 36/72 ![]()

![]() Ah, I had a feeling you were playing against Jinteki. The Core Jinteki deck has money problems and has a hard time with keeping the Runner out of its servers. With the Core Anarch deck, they have some pretty efficient Icebreakers, like Mimic and Yog.0, but they can't be boosted. That's why Datasucker is basically an economy card for them. They also have Corroder, which is a great barrier Icebreaker. But yeah... I wouldn't bother with Core Jinteki. I wish it wasn't the recommended beginner Corporation, because all the others are actually easier to play, and you don't need to constantly hoard money to activate things like Snare! or Project Junebug. You'll also find that making your own decks with just a Core set actually is doable. I really like how the Core set has a lot to it before any branching out happens. Have a good time, and we'll see how I do... -Matt -Posted with Wayfinder ![]()

![]() Dante watches the runes, wondering if there are any clues to be discovered. After a couple of minutes, he realizes something. "There's a pattern to them," he says. "Look at that one, then look at that one over there." He points at a rune just as it lights up. "Note the similarity, as if... as if we are looking at numbers." "Arayas, hand me your coin pouch," he asks. "I'd use my own, but I'm afraid I don't carry coppers these days." After a moment of thought, the first rune lights up, and Dante hops to a particular spot as it fades, and looks toward another rune, just in time for it to light up as he predicted. He drops a copper piece from Arayas's pouch where he is standing. As the rune fades, he leaps to another spot, and watches another predicted rune light up while he drops another copper piece. Over the next minute, Dante hops and jumps his way through the course of traps, leaving a copper trail as he does. "All right, on my mark..." -Posted with Wayfinder ![]()
