It's good that he's playing to character as well, such behaviour gets rewarded.

@Genni

Another game mechanic in the works? Interesting.

That's actually the original game mechanic, this is just the first real opportunity I've had to apply it. :)

Going all the way back to the original rules:

• During encounters characters gained Experience Points (XPs) which can later be used to level themselves up, granting them additional Skill Points which can be used to increase their powers and attributes. XPs are usually award based on these guidelines:
  • ...
  • X gained at GM discretion for creative or character driven gameplay

@Eklispe

Just to check, is Flare using Heat Drain here, or is he just standing on the rooftop hoping for the best?

What's the ruling on readying an action? For instance: if I'm lining up a shot, but choose not to take it unless my target makes a move first.

Brick attempts to provoke the Cheerleaders into attacking him: No effect

Nice try, but since he doesn't actually have a 'Provoke' special ability at all I couldn't allow something like that to work on the poor, innocent girls Rocksmith just murdered in cold blood.

They weren't quite stupid enough to be lured in with such an obvious ploy, right up until Rocksmith set fire to them that is. Now they're not smart enough not to fall for it, but unfortunately for them, since Rocksmith just roasted them alive they'll not be in a position to fall for it ever again.

@Leolycan

Any action you take to line up an ability which doesn't specifically target a individual gives you the 'Primed' status effect, as with Flare's Fireball and Sigma's Incendiary Rounds.

If you choose to fire off your attack without having taken note of other player's actions in the same round, and end up hitting a target who's already KO'd then your attack is wasted, but if you choose to switch targets and aim for a different one after spotting everyone gangbanging your first choice there's no penalty, unless your special ability specifically states that you have to attack in a certain way. Normally if that's the case I'd be looking at a status effect being tagged to the target rather than yourself, as with Vex's RETINA.

As far as reaction shots within a turn, as long as you state in your narrative that you waited for a target to pop their head over the barricade before taking your shot I'll work that into the end of turn summery when I'm drawing up the events.

The standard rule is that actions are executed in the order they were posted, but that can be altered slightly as with the helicopter crash, since it would've KO'd at least three heroes if they hadn't been given the opportunity to dodge for cover first and it plays well to have the helicopter slowly circling down into the stage.

[Leolycan]

@Genni

Fair enough.

@Genni

Rocksmith didn't think the explosion would be that big.

@rush99999

The good news is he gained a lot of useful experience from the situation, the bad news is that experience is 'don't drop helicopters on beautiful young girls in skimpy, flammable outfits'.

[Leolycan]

Screeching and warped voices was all that Heretic could hear in the wreckage. His thoughts had drifted to a more promising place, and all he could fathom was the intensity of the situation. "D-damn it, that h-hur- IrAN JhaNaKOI RaGNar- t... What the fu- RAWAAAA!"

You forgot the crate of sacrificial chickens, three dozen naked virgins and a large tank of raspberry jelly.

Make it four dozen naked virgins, Heretic is very particular about his ladies.

He wants them to be ladies too? Hmm, I'll have to make a few calls about that.

Now the situation is not so dire that I have to start dipping into my private stash.

Aww, c'mon. You've got more than enough chickens to share.

[GodOfWar]

Leolycan, get those naked virgin female chickens or I'll make Heretic attack vex next.

@Genni @Leolycan @GodOfWar

Forget all of that. All you need is Rocksmith and another helicopter...Too soon?
