I love the idea of him finally arriving and having to ask everyone to stop while he catches his breath.

Cool, I've always wanted to fight General Freedom for some reason but never had a character who had any physical chance.

What people forget is this isnt a dice game and stats mean very little. This is writing game and your actions written dicate what happens not an arbitrary plus or minus of numbers. If cant write it happening no amount of stats you point too will make it happen.

I wasn't saying I'm going to roll for shit, Skall. I was simply using the stats as a REFERENCE... as I stated more than once. Such as the "What about guns" and the "My armor is tough enough I can pretty much ignore bullets" thing that went on earlier.

Numbers help for those nitpicky moments where someone says they can survive this number of things. But you can put out THIS number of things. And THIS number is bigger than this number.

Indeed.

GreivousKhan said
The only real number that will often matter is the amount of prep behind an attack. :K

So you're saying if someone has an attack that could take out a truck full of guys, but one guy in that truck has an ability that lets him absorb the force of a blast and send in back outward a few second later... and he can use that ability reflexively (as in WHEN shit happens)... that he can't use it to save himself or his pals?

This ^

But the only PC that could face him is currently tackling a bear...and maybe a dragon or two...

[Skallagrim]

Oh I know I am just saying for those who might want join but think that stats will take place of their writing.

[Rilla]

Skallagrim, check your PMs.

Pretty much. While you may be able to absorb it, you'd have to prep for it. If I prep said attack for 3 turns and your absorb has no prep, then you'd take a good bit of that attack straight to damage. Thus how T1 works.

There may be some exceptions, like a being made out of purely fire, being able to absorb fire and the like.

Depends, does the absorb thing if a limit on the amount of whoop-ass it can eat and spit back out?

[Skallagrim]

Rilla let me get home on SEPTA right now so using phone. I will intercept and answer the question.

[Rilla]

No idea what a Septa even is.

But alright boss man. :D

Cute. No. If someone has ten turns of prep, and a character can still feasibly dodge or block... they dodge or block.

If you and I were in a fight, for example... and you pulled back a bat to swing at me while standing around a corner... Say I couldn't see you, and I walked up and saw your shadow, but you heard my footsteps. You step out and swing it at me, but I knew you were there JUST before you attacked. Guess what... you could be standing there for an hour and it wouldn't matter. I would have just as much chance to dodge as you would to hit.

Thus how logic works.

[LeeRoy]

You have made it a point to intentionally make it seem as though Sukoh will lose. This will not go how you expect it to, crabman!

Well you have a right to be assured, what with dragons and dragon girls popping up around you. :P

[LeeRoy]

Sukoh's gonna have crabcakes today.

[ASTA]

I kind of agree with that (@ Beta)

Before you spend 3 turns charging an attack, realize that the other person---provided they have a decent head on their shoulders---will probably observe their surroundings and the nature of the attack, and react accordingly. If anything, you need to use attacks like those sparingly and with some tactics backing them. I'd use them heavily in tag-team matches, where my partner could set up a foe for such an attack by disabling their capacity to move somehow, but not in 1v1s.

That'll just get you killed if anything.

That's dodging.

I didn't say anything about DODGING an attack.

You said if he could absorb it, you didn't say if he could do a triple moonsault aerial, back handspring tuck mctwist dodge.

I answered your question as to whether or not he could absorb it. In T1, your defense is based off preps in defense vs preps in offense.

[GreivousKhan]

The real challenge is getting a hit with that charged up attack, to use maybe a bad example, imagine if Piccolo had missed with his special beam cannon. The fight would have ended badly for them right there.

And he did indeed need Goku to hold his brother still for him to power up his special sauce.
