[OOC] [Ranked] 2 v 2 battle! Reapers Vs Champions; A Dance of Blades!

[Vordak]

I set up a call for a judge in the Headquarters Thread.

@GreivousKhan

Yo. If you don't find me lacking, i can be the judge. For all my sluggish activity in my current fights, i'll still be able to take responsibility and resolve a dispute quick if the need arises

@Vordak

Huzzah!

We'll be glade to have you. Our thanks.

[ImportantNobody]

I posted my character. I made certain powers with you guys in mind so they could be good, fitting rivals, but if you have concerns with some of her powers than I can say that the spirits that you are concerned about are the ones resting.

[MelonHead]

Yeah I'm here.

[MelonHead]

Yeah, I'll just be using Judgement with his giant sword.

[DJAtomika]

So now that we have all four fighters, will an introduction post be next?

[MelonHead]

Wait, did you tag this fight as Romance? Lol.

Anyway, if everyone is happy with everyone else' characters then I guess we can just start off the fight (with obligatory introductions). What sort of post order are we looking at?

[ImportantNobody]

I'm fine with the characters.

[DJAtomika]

I'm good.

[ImportantNobody]

We can have a player from each team alternate posting.

Maybe it's romance because my character is in love with justice!

[MelonHead]

Alright, I'm fine as well. Once Khan says he's happy as well we can start, whoever wants to post first can go for it, then we'll alternate based off teams.

Yesterday was busy so I didn't get much chance to update this.

Hmm, two things. For IN, I'm OK with your character for the most part, some oddly specific abilities, but nothing I can't roll with, and I assume DJ is fine with it as well. Though I would feel better if you used T1 for your character, in which you abilities needed prep time to enact, as it is there's nothing I can see stopping her from jumping back from one ability to the next in no time at all. I know some come with self-debuffs but preps are a better system for balancing multiple activatable abilities/magic.

Just add at least one or two perps to use a spirit should balance the character out fine.

Aaand, I'm not even sure I want to touch Judgement's sheet with a five foot pole. Super strength, OK, super durability, well fine Tank, sure sure. Super speed and agility!! Lightening bruiser, glass cannon, tank in full plate with near immunity to all preternatural effects. Maybe I'll let Vordak look it over, cause at this point he seems even stronger than General Freedom.

@GreivousKhan

Judgement was made for T1, any specific measurement I've listed is his strongest form of around T8, which he isn't at.

His strength is half again whoever his strongest opponent is if he's fighting anyone particularly strong, his armour is strong but as you've mentioned yourself preps can pierce it, 100mph isn't that significant as a straight sprinting speed at this tier, especially with average car acceleration. No such thing as immunity, no magical offensive abilities from anything past the range he can stab someone at, seems balanced enough to me.

As far as I can tell it's fairly common for big bruiser characters to have a fairly fast sprinting speed, because strength is directly linked to muscles, allowing you to propel yourself quickly forward, and without being able to close on your opponent you have no other way of attacking. I'm not sure exactly where you got the super reflexes from, nothing mentioning Jugement being particularly agile, which he is of course not, plate armour has literal physical constraints that one can do nothing about, such as restricting ones freedom of movement in the arms and legs.

To make things easier, I'll edit his sheet to show his physical characteristics for this exact fight.

Dunno how the hell you can complain anyway, you're still toting your fucking OP cloak. All the protection of my armour with none of the limitations, seven times the strength of an ordinary man, fast and agile, shit load of undead death spells, shit load of defensive and offensive spells, death sword etc etc.

[Vordak]

Right now, i'm going over the character sheets, and in all honesty, i don't get all the fuss about Tordor's coat. If it's a coat woven out of spider silk, no matter how durable and resistant to abrasion, it isn't even going to be as thick or heavy or dense as a Kevlar vest, so a mighty good whack from any kind of weapon will deliver nigh unhindered blunt force trauma. The only thing it will reliably protect from is penetration.

@Vordak

Ya, cloth armor may be lighter, but it's crap against Bludgeoning force. I don't know why Melon is the only person on the site who thinks my coat is plate armor. :K

@GreivousKhan

Are you somehow saying that plate armour negates all physical force? I'm fairly certain it just prevents attacks from piercing or cutting through the armour, the blunt force is reduced by padded clothing underneath. So I'd say your cloak armour is pretty damn similar. The bane of plate armour ultimately was bullets and maces, bullets can pierce the metal where-as they wouldn't pierce your cloak, a mace is as effective against them as either or. The fact that everyone in this fight is restricted to swords however essentially makes the cloak all the more powerful. My character will have to contend with his using brute strength, because someone like IN's character using small darting strikes and cuts won't have a chance at piercing his armour.

My issue with the cloak is that while it serves all the functions of actual plate armour it has none of the limitations, and can even stop bullets.

[ImportantNobody]

Maybe once she stabs/cuts into a wound on her body it takes a turn for the spirit to properly edtablish itself so she'd had to wait until the next turn to use it. A spirit can deconnect and go back into her sword on a single turn, though.

I'll likely change her race name. She can just be known as an elf for the time being.

I was a tad worried about the cloak but she can be firin' her lazor or stab his face. Or just get in a cat fight and ignore him.

@MelonHead

The simple difference is you can break someones bones from the force of a sword blow much easier with the coat. It's the equivalent of wearing a breastplate, if covers and protects the chest, or in this case, the back, not sure how it equals up to a full suit of armor, but OK.

@GreivousKhan

I'd argue it's actually better, it's lighter, covers all the vital areas fine, and has none of the weak spots at the joints that conventional armour has.

[@Grevious Khan]

In regards to Tordor.

There are a few things that i'd like to be specified: what exact effects do the Blood Drinker's life drain, the Black Flame, the Screeching Widow's sonic attack and the Field Emitter have? How damaging are they?

Also, what do exactly mean by the bullets having no weight (and thus, kinetic energy) and being unable to be affected by outside forces - in other words, not interacting with matter?
