One hit.

@Rilla

That would be a hilarious battle but I don't think I'd like that for a ranked one.

Ours isn't ranked anyway. If I rmemeber correctly. Lol.

I'm guessing our battle would involve a certain lovable dragon girl taunting your character that he can't possibly hit her while she's in the air.

[Rilla]

Then getting reprimanded for flying during a boxing match. Lol

@Rilla

When is our boxing match starting, anyways?

I was thinking the one hit defeat would be in another battle.

[LeeRoy]

So, I was working on a time based character. I've had a few in the past, some of them work, some of them don't.

But, I found a way to make Time Stopping Viable.

Make it functionally the same as charging a spell in T1.

The First Turn is the Freezing of time, and the charge.
The Second Turn is the Attack while in Frozen Time, and blowing the charge.

Meaning that the way to resist it, is to charge a defense equally. Meaning that if you know it's coming, you can resist it.

[Rilla]

Its next on my list

[DJAtomika]

@ImportantNobody Pay attention to me vs DJ, I'm already in the process of laying the groundwork.

@Rilla

I am scared now.

[Rilla]

I don't see any viable way to charge a defense to time stopping.

Time is one of those things I almost never work against, along with space. A top level fighter, who'd mainly be a NPC ala Liaison, sure it's fine. But as a fighting character, nope.

No rush

@LeeRoy

But if their first turn they stop time, how could the person resist it if time is already stopped?

@DJAtomika

You should be. Hahah.

No, it's mainly talking it up, like my first post.

[LeeRoy]

Like any action, the action can be stopped, predicted, seen, or interrupted. If the action has a big enough tell, then preparing a defense in response to it is entirely possible.

[Skallagrim]

My only fight is with LeeRoy and while it is ranked I am treating it more as a story exploration for the mythos of General Freedom. I am working through his attitudes towards villain archetypes. I get started on my fight and then I start thinking, what villain in his world would exhibit similar traits to ole'hothead. Then I come up with a name, then a set of powers, then why they became who they became. LOL I owe LeeRoy a great deal because I am doing more on developing the world of General Freedom than I have in a looong while.

@LeeRoy

The way I read it, it sounds like the charge and time stop take place in the same post, so the opponent would have to already have a defense in place before you start the charge. I assume you mean the first turn is the charge to try and bring up the freezing of time, which only activates at the starts of the next turn when they move in to attack?

[LeeRoy]

You are correct, Important.

[Rilla]

How do you prepare a defense against a time stop? At high levels its possible, but at low levels there is next to nothing you can do against it, except hit them with something. And if they evade it, that's basically GG.

so in theory, sure, if you know a time stop is coming(in a non-metagamey way), you can stop it, by physically hitting them. there is really not much else you can do really, not at low to mid levels.

time is one of those things that can get really out of hand.

a work around, however, is it not affecting PCs(or anything that are touching) during the duration of said time stop.

[Vordak]

BTW, Skalla, are you still looking for another fight? I can deliver.

[Skallagrim]

What did you have in mind Vordy?

[LeeRoy]

@Rilla
Oh dude I didn't mean as a low or mid tier character, no way. Time stopping automatically makes you a high tiered character.

My mid tier time stopper is an inwards stop, halting his own perception of time to analyze everything that's happening to him before restoring time.

[Vordak]

What did you have in mind Vordy?

@Skallagrim

A ranked mid-powered tier fight. I have a few new characters in mind for this, so i can give you a short summary of each and have you pick one of them for me to flesh out and use.
