Hahaha, the dodge based character rolled a -5 on a dodge roll.  That's amazing :)

Cast acid at them again.  I'm not even gonna PM the word again, because you know that I know it and I probably won't get the chance anyways.

Rewaitlist as Himself, with dex 7, pot&pool 1


((You made thia game too realistic, TC.))
((I wanted to make people more conscious about their decisions, actually. The whole chunky salsa system discourages this, and that's why I decided to go for a more predictable one. Unfortunately, I didn't expect this level of penalties to be applied, but in some way they make sense: you have 0 pain tolerance, have been totaly burned, and have someone's foot embedded in your groin, which is being pulled away by its owner, potentially grabbing you to achieve that. Should it be possible for someone to miss a hit at you? Only if they lack a lot of coordination and you manage to ignore all the pain in your body, I think.

I hope that those laughs were indeed some kind of fun in the hilariousness of the turn.

By the way, you had terrible luck. Not only in the shown rolls, but in the d3s and d2s.

And I still think that the waitlist is too short))

Oh, nonono!  You misunderstand, -really, I think I should be dead now, regardless of enemy action; that axe probably severed a very large artery-  the too realistic part comes in because it was a cripple fight, with only cripples.  Yet two of the players are the highest level people in the arena.  Every fight, even if they win, they come out weaker.

The waitlist being short isn't a problem if the dead guys rewaitlist immediately.

Well, what can I say about the cripples? This was already happening in Toaster's game. It seems that Roger's theory was correct after all...

This is going to be hilarious.

Good luck getting a kill with your 0 Pol, though. It probably would've been a better idea to take 8 End/1 Pol and spam a single word forever.

Edit: Typo.

Hahaha oh my god that's awesome.

Lesson learned here: Don't fuck with team Derm.

On that note, Two people are unconscious, I see!

Stand up and go kick zolonds head in. No use letting perfectly good points go to waste.


I really wouldn't if I were you. He is going to die of the blood loss *I* gave him. And the paralysis *I* gave him. Points are only wasted if suicide was the out. Which oddly enough he is incapable of now achieving.

Mr GM? If his death of blood loss would waste the points, have me fall over stabby claws first onto him. Problem solved. Also please clarify how his soul is headed ATM as there seems to be confusion that could cause me and Derm "unnecessary grief"

You steal this kill... well. I wouldn't recommend it.

I will note that if I do steal the kill, you have another turn of unconciousness.

You know, that's right, isn't it, Mr. Derm? And we don't have any particular interest in keeping Bigf00t around. And we're about done killing our current victim.
You know what? We're freaking supervillains, aren't we?

Of course.

This is still pending, however.

Clarifications:

1) The soul of the dead goes to the person that caused the fatal blow. If Zolond bleeds out, Zolond's soul belongs to Bigf00t. It can be stolen by dealing the fatal blow to Zolond, but it is unlikely for team Derm to do so, because of them Being on the NE hallway. Why? Because they more than two rooms away. Two rooms is the maximum distance you can travel and do an action afterwards on the same turn.
2) The only unconcious dude is Zolond here, and he will only be unconscious for 1 turn because he will die at the end of turn 41.
3) Bigf00t is not unconcious, he is paralyzed for two turns. This means that he losing the turn is just a contingency.

And, last one, and my favourite one:

4) Derm's foot is still attached to Thrancaole's groin. He has to roll strength and get 4 or more to free it. The need to make the roll can't be evaded even if Thrancaole dies.

So, the kill being stolen by Derm group seems unlikely.

But now I want to talk about another thing:

Here is something that I have been thinking to prevent situations like the one of the last turn:

Excessively crippled rules!

Basically, this is a way to finish someone (provided you have the means to do so), without getting him into unconciousness.

How this works:

When the defender rolls negative points, and the attacker rolls positive points (in dexterity), if the attacker's roll surpases that of the defender by 5 or more, then the strength roll follows the same rules as the ones to finish unconscious people. This means, 1 is added to the roll, and if the result is 4 or more, the target dies.
This wouldn't apply to finish those beings made of non-fleshy materials, as they follow different rules.


This, of course, is not implemented yet, so I want feedback on the idea.

I want to use EP's idea and modify Igor's sheet so he can actually cast a spell. Is that okay?
