I'm pretty sure criticals are the same as in Acos (randomly rolled, like gaining a combo move after roleplaying a lot.) I may be wrong.

[Tack]

Alright. Fixed all of my things.
Still trying to push past my terrible paint.net skills to give him a face, though

Fun fact: I'm as far down on this waitlist as I am the ACOS waitlist.

[Caellath]

Since there are two kitchens, I thought Jinn was trying to get to the same kitchen as Relictus, hence my action, Dex.

[Dexexe1234]

well, we now see both routes lead to the same place! Not all commands can be victories!

[LordBucket]

she wasn't in the mood for jokes at that moment anymore. With what
little personality she had, the dread of being destroyed right then

It's poor form to tell a player how he reacts to something. Especially when it's wildly out of character. Read Celly's bio. Fear is specifically something she's incapable of feeling. You may as well try to tell me that your cat needs gasoline, or your computer is hungry.

69/100 Fair! Celly bursted through the flooring, closely dodging the odd wave of anti-magick that flew through the matter between the walls

98/100 No problems! Celly floats back out of the room filled with skeletons and bones, just as some of the bones crack and pop, but she is too distracted to think about the odd noises from the bones. 28/100 Poor! 60/100 Safe! as she rose through the floor, another wave of antimagick poured through, lightly grazing the edge of her form. She could feel how the wave itself could have torn her to pieces, just from the slight touch she felt.

So...69 was a success the first time, and I rolled a 98 the second time but you didn't like that so you kept rolling until you got the result you wanted?

Translation: Gamemaster doesn't want player going off the rails and is threatening character death for it.

[freeformschooler]

I think the 98/100 was for escaping the bones which were pretty obviously coming to life. The second roll was for the antimagick wave.

[Ochita]

Ahahaha... No.

The first roll was probably not being swarmed by skeletons, so there's that. Then you got a 20 concerning going though the anti-magic floor, which is bad, and so Dex rolled another die for you to stabilize or something, thus the final roll of 60.

Translation: Dex is just doing his job as a gamemaster. Plus I think that if anyone, even someone with a blue and orange morality, would be sombre after encountering something that would completely destroy you entirely.

Spirit stat and why I boosted it so much explanation: Although Relictus doesn't use any magic at all, spirit is your "resist fear" and "willpower" stat, apparently. It is opposed against the level of the threat, and since I wanted Relictus to be almost fearless, that's why I got it so high. Also, freeform and Ochita already explained the rest, so there's that.

In short: No, Dexexe is not trying to get you killed or anything. He's just applying mechanics, and while the first roll was for escaping the skeletons, the second one (28) would probably have gotten Celly killed depending on the GM, judging by her HP.

[freeformschooler]

Actually, I think Dex mentioned to me those icons next to Scelly's rolls were "luck." I may be wrong.

[Dexexe1234]

yes, first roll was for the skeletons in the pit reacting to you. Second roll was avoiding the anti-magick wave, third roll was lethality rate. You can easily go off the rails, but this place is apparently rigged to try and keep people from doing that.

The icon used for these rolls are luck, yes, because it takes luck to get around these things. As the others said, I am simply doing my duty as a GM. It's not my fault if you get yourself killed due to happenstance. All this is planned in advance.

[Caellath]

Yeah, I was mentioning the Spirit stuff due to her opposed 8 vs 10 for Dread, since LordBucket also complained about the Fear problem.
