I am not sure Save or Die should be something anyone should have. For us, it makes fights too easy, and hey, equal opportunity, enemies would logicaly have access to similar things, or not?

edit: not to mention, as is clearly seen, they are super unsatisfying for everyone else.

editedit: also please consider penalties for dodging multiple attacks. that dragon was huge, the 42 dex was already barely making sense

It shouldn't have had such a high DC, I think @GWG used its D100 DC without halving it. It shouldn't actually be very likely to happen at such high HP.

I don't think this should be a problem in the first place as it is still over powered no matter how lucky/unlucky one has to be for it to work.

Yeah, that formula was a rather imperfect stopgap measure to replace @Elf's rather high DC. I'm working on an exponential formula now so that unless the enemy had shit MND, it won't even be possible.

How about 1.05^(100 - percentage of HP remaining) rounded down?
At 50% health, the DC would be 1.0650 which would be 11 and most enemies would probably have enough MND so that they can't possibly fail.
At 20% health, the DC would be 1.0620 which would be 49 with the enemy's MND mitigating some of it.

It shouldn't actually be a OHKO seeing as they can continually resist possession.

In this case the dragon shouldn't have even been affected. The DC should have been halved as this was D50 not D100.

yeah well GWG fucked up. Good, now that itt has happened to him, he will, by common decency, be unable to complain in the future when other GMs make mistakes


He said there's still a lot more to go, so I guess next time he will not make the same mistake

I wonder whether the next one will still be in Stanford or would it harass Richard instead.

well, GWG ignored ICARUS attempt of picking up the dragons trail via footprints and/or chemicals left behind, and then was offline when I tried to questin it, meanwhile corebus proceeded to kill it, so yeah, all we can do now is wait

Right, I may as well clarify:
-Possession may be resisted each turn. If the roll is failed, Annie and Wheatley retain control.
-When Cyrielle noted that a success would end the battle she meant it in reference the fact that the dragon would have plummeted into the pavement next to two dragonslayers.
-It's primary purpose is to remotely hack into computer systems by giving Annie and Wheatley control of it.

I was applying the penalties. -3 per attack too small?
And yeah.

yeah well GWG fucked up. Good, now that itt has happened to him, he will, by common decency, be unable to complain in the future when other GMs make mistakes
I made ONE mistake. Specifically, going by the real GM's ruling on the DC of a one-hit-"kill" attack I barely understood. Hardly a major mistake.

Indeed.
Although by this point I'm winging it. (Thankfully, I had planned to wing it only a step or two after this one, so no harm no foul.)

well, GWG ignored ICARUS attempt of picking up the dragons trail via footprints and/or chemicals left behind...
Less "ignored," more "didn't notice". Did you roll for it? I don't really care what system, to be honest.

...Um, so what do we do with corpse?
Important question.
