Sorry, only one action per round so Brick can either Stone Skin or use the Flash Bang.

Then just the stone skin and give everyone a +5 Defense(1/3 of 15 Defense) from his solid wall if we are targeted by an AOE. He'll throw the flash bang on the next round.

An interesting point to ponder: how familiar ar we with other meta's? So ar we've been knocking it around old hat like hellboy, but I'm wondering if our group is the exception or the rule? Also I'm wondering if any of our characters want to have a past with each other? Did any of us who are employed take down an indentured and bring them in to be part of this system?

As far as the universe history goes, Metas have been around for about the last thirty years, but the oldest ones kept themselves very quiet and out of sight. Some who used their abilities for their own gain have risen to positions of power in the world, but keep their abilities hidden and their involvement in the metahuman sub-culture a secret.

Within the last five years those with powers have begun to come out of the shadows as younger, more free-spirited metas have discovered their abilities. This has led to a number of highly publicised and globally reported incidents which have brought metas into the public consciousness, with the realisation that gods walk amongst us.

To deal with the public outcry against those with powers the UN sanctioned the creation of the Allied Extra-Governmental Intelligence Service, more commonly known as A.E.G.I.S, whose mission statement is to control and contain metahumans internationally. Ratified by all major nations, and accepted as the utmost authority on the metahuman situation, A.E.G.I.S. have the power to detain without charge any individuals discovered to possess metahuman abilities, no matter what their source.

Initially A.E.G.I.S. operated as an administrative authority, cataloguing metahuman powers for individuals whose talents were mundane and trivial (spoonbenders, people with the ability to see ten seconds into the past, a man capable of identifying any type of cheese from upto a mile away, etc.) but when they started to encounter those whose powers were more of a threat to the general population the need for more rigorous action was deemed necessary.

At that point permission was granted for the formation of the Rapid Assault Tactical Squads, groups of highly trained individuals whose mission was to isolate and contain dangerous metahumans using all necessary force. While at first these squads consisted of government trained agents and military personnel as they came into contact with more metahumans A.E.G.I.S. began to recruit them into the R.A.T.S. as 'mission specialists' for specific tasks.

After noting a far higher success rate for squads containing a metahuman the decision was made to broaden the recruitment policy for the R.A.T.S. so that any individuals with powers which could be useful to A.E.G.I.S. could be offered a place on the team. Heading into the Vault, a highly secured and secret prison complex, A.E.G.I.S. officers offered certain controllable inmates the opportunity to serve humanity in exchange for their freedom, with certain provisions in place to ensure their loyalty.

Currently R.A.T.S. employs over thirty metahumans on a full-time basis, with several more registered as 'consultants' for specific mission assignments. Along with this the Vault houses over fifty metahumans whose abilities and temperaments have been identified as too dangerous to be allowed freedom. Worldwide A.E.G.I.S. is currently monitoring over 7 million metahumans and 'potentials' (0.1% of the world's population) who may someday require them to take action, although the vast majority of these individuals show no signs of becoming a threat any time soon.

Within the last couple of years certain individuals, such as Discord and Thrash, have been approached by an unknown stranger and been granted 'gifts' which have allowed them to become metahumans. Whether this 'stranger' has a wide-scale plan in place or if this is merely random mischief is currently under investigation.

Does this roof have railings?

Also, how fast could Deimos throw something? She has a fuckgasm degree of physicalstrength, so I was thinking sub/supersonic (Mach 1) for smaller objects like, a piece of railing.

Since this is a bank it's likely they'll have been no expense spent on safety features, but they would be over-insured to the hilt. In other words, no railings.

If you happen to fall of the roof and feel like suing the bank for health and safety they'll actually make a profit out of you though.

Also, how fast could Deimos throw something?

Things like throwing objects and other improvised attacks are covered by how high your Attack rating is, although if you do try something creative I'm likely to have additional status effects applied depending on the outcome.

Hmmm, no railings....gonna have to pull of the roof-access door and use that then.

Would ripping off the door give her the 'armed' effect? And, how much would that give her?

I wouldn't count a door as a weapon, so she couldn't get an Armed effect from it, but since it's a security door used at a bank she could use it as a shield, gaining a +2 Defence for a Shielded effect instead.

Deimos is using it as a weapon. Well, more of a projectile, really. She pulled it off and threw it at the enemy.

I am amazed how everyone seemed to slip so easily into the role of knowing exactly what to do, and I am floundering like a fish out of water.

She'll definitely be able to count the door throw as a standard attack, but I won't comment at this time whether you'll get any bonus for having used the door as a weapon.

Ok, just so I know it isn't an illegal move or something like that.

There's no such thing as an illegal move in this game, but if you do try to do something impossible it's very likely to backfire in your face.

Just as long as Rocksmith doesn't decide to start Sebastianing and convinces the police in the street below to join him in a calypso-beat version of 'Hit The Girl' to inspire the rest of the party.

Rocksmith:
"Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and hit the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t stop now
Don’t try to hide it how
You wanna hit the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say hit the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna hit the girl "

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna.. Hit the girl!

Yes, you hate her.
Look at her, you know you do.
It's possible she wants you to,
There's one way to smack her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and Hit the girl (hit the girl)

Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna hit the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
go on and hit the girl (hit the girl)

Nows your moment
pinned by a big ol goon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She flipped you the bird
And she thinks your a nerd
Until you, Hit the girl (Hit the girl)

Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna hit the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl

Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be prepared
Go and 'fist kiss' the girl
Shalalalala
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna diss the girl
Go and piss on the girl
(fist kiss the girl)
Lalalala, Lalalala
Go on and fist kiss the girl
Lalalala, Lalalala
Go on and fist kiss the girl

...not my best.

With a strum of her fingers Discord launches a powerful wave of sonic energy which causes her enemies' armour to resonate, causing them 1/3 their Defence (rounded down) worth of Health loss and inflicts the Sundered status effect, causing 1/3 (rounded down) reduction in their Defence. Sundered may stack with itself.

OH CRAP ON A CRACKER!


So damn glad Heretic doesn't have any armor, and one of the weakest defense of all the group.

Go Defense Slackers!
