[Harry Baldman]

"Dogpile on the gunner!"

Circle around and move to bowl the gunner over from an unconventional angle, don't run straight at him. If the guy on our team with the gun starts shooting, wait until he's done, only then charge.

[blazing glory]

Charge Guard 1,engage in grapple,try to manuver his gun towards scientist 4 while forcing his finger against the trigger from behind.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Start shooting Guard 1.

[blazing glory]

Start shooting Guard 1.

Please don't.

[Harry Baldman]

Action slightly edited with a conditional!

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Start shooting Guard 1.

Please don't.

Why not?

[blazing glory]

Start shooting Guard 1.

Please don't.

Why not?

Because the last time you started shooting it got these guys over.

((Wings for Erin actually is VERY appropriate, I've used varients of the same character before in mutation-based games, and EVERY single time she's ended up with wings. though they're usually bat-like wings instead of eagle ones.))
I've got to get out of here. If only I could hear like a bat, knowing where everything is around me by sound alone, maybe then I'd be able to slip past... Oh well, I need to focus on the here and now.
Scamper to the side of the room where there seems to be the least fighting, grabbing my taser and preparing it in case I need to use it, but keeping it hidden inside my pocket so I can keep the element of surprise. Use it on anyone that attacks me, but otherwise just look for a hiding spot from these monsters fighting each other.

((If someone talks to me, my action is likely to change.))

[Harry Baldman]

If only I could drain the life-force of my enemies with my touch, using it to heal myself or grow in power somehow (accelerate mutation speed).

((That's a strange thought to spontaneously have.))

[Samarkand]

Bite scientist 1.

((Are PCs invulnerable? A baddy just rolled a 19 on sawing someone's spine, and as a result they're somewhat injured...))

[TamerVirus]

Take the pistol and look for a clip

[Sarrak]

Help in eliminating Infected Scientist. Try to give my tail one more chance.

[Tarran]

Start shooting Guard 1.

Please don't.

Why not?

What makes you think that there are people who heard the gunshots but didn't come over for whatever reason?

What makes you think that the NPC won't fire his equally loud gun himself, especially since he already fired three shots?

Really, there's little point in not shooting.

If only I could drain the life-force of my enemies with my touch, using it to heal myself or grow in power somehow (accelerate mutation speed).

"Oh, how I wish I could be a vampire, so I could become stronger and more horrific."

Anyway, this suggestion is a troublesome one. First, the first half implies the game relies on souls or something like that, or that you can gain life from sucking blood. The former is probably not going the happen, the latter is questionable.

The second, accelerating of mutation time is not going to happen because it is attempting to outright break "rules" I've set, and it's a bad idea anyway. Due to the rate of health drain to regen, faster mutation times means faster injury and thus will probably seriously put the character at risk of dying without any outside influence.

Look, if I made it so called shots were far more effective, people rolling 20s against heads with stabbing weapons would probably instakill or almost kill people. Including players. Obviously, this is not a good game design decision.

People damage people proportional to their weapon and their roll. Whether their called shots do something or not is entirely arbitrary.

In theory I could make called shots have a greater effect, but then that would be completely against the point of this RTD, to have basically minimal rules. I made the same decision to not expand complexity the first time I changed how the combat system works, and I feel as though I should maintain the same stance.

((Thought so, but I figured I'd get it out there early on. So you want physical mutations, not *impossible* abilities.))
