Eh, I suppose your right. Although there should be properties for removing or ignoring DR. It's kind of a staple of rogues and stuff.

[Adragis]

Plus that 1d6 extra from the perk is kinda ridiculous for a tank.
She's not even slow or weak. Just good in other things and GREAT in defense.

[Sanure]

Yeah, I was thinking about nerfing that fire damage to 1d4. or 1d3 and making it make your attacks fire affinity while active. Thoughts?

[Akroma]

there literaly is an armor piercing effect. And it is, by the way, cheap as fuck to ignore someones entire damage reduction. In fact it is so cheap, I have a dreading feeling future bosses will almost always have this, rendering Skyflames main focus entirely useless for just 3 points. It's not that big of a deal early game, because early game 3 spellpoints is a lot, but lategame, 3 spellpoints is nothing.

perhaps armor-piercing should not be % based, because frankly, lategame that's too good, and nothing else really scales with percentages, like healing, or actual damage block effects.



and as I said adragis, yes, the extra 1d6 damage is something I can do without. Don't call me out on being overpowered when it was Sanure who threw perks at me for little reason. As for being great in defense, the bonus AC from the perk is not that huge, and the bonus armor from the equipment is something everyone has access to. It's by no means unfair to be wearing armor, or to use weapons to increase your damage.


As for Sanure just giving basic attacks fire affinity is plenty. A damage amplification of 1.2 is like what, instead of 10 damage I deal 12? Should be fine.

[Akroma]

oh yeah before I forget, look at Skyflames actual stats. having only 2 in cunning means her aim is actually pretty low. If I want to hit anything that is in any way fast, I actually have to use reckless charge, which in turn means my own dodging is basicaly useless.


So frankly, you are wrong, Skyflame does indeed have weakpoints. remember how 3d6 works. A single point of difference basicaly means roughly 15% difference in hit chance. Having only 2 in cunning, with enemies that will usualy be above our level and thus usualy will have more than 4 dex, easily, means Skyflame, apart from tanking, is going to do very little against fast enemies on average. She soley relies on outlasting them until she gets a lucky roll and finaly lands a hit. If the enemy just realises that and actually doesn't attack the designated tank, well, suddenly skyflame is useless. This is why in games where tanks matter exist, they usualy have taunts.

Jesus Christ I just want to get on with the game.

[Akroma]

yeah, well, PN is doing the best he can I guess. Even with only 4 people involved in combat, he has to wait for all of us to post actions, and edit the map etc. Time zone differences can make play by post formats difficult indeed.


In the future, if big, combat-heavy environments happen, I will see to it that the party is properly split, so I can handle encounters seperately when possible, to perhaps allow for a faster flow of events, but really, a GM can do little without player input. He might be able to do more than one turn per day during the weekend, but until then most of us don't have all that much dedicated rpg time.

[Adragis]

I think the perk should actually make sense. I mean, being a legend netting you fire hands? What?

I propose it gives bonuses to her roar's effects on Layar or something.

[Akroma]

it may have something to do with the dudes Salamander powers?


who knows, being drenched in the blood of a salamander might give you this kinda power, no matter who you are.

[Adragis]

I think most of us were drenched in that blood.

And while Fire!Lilian would be cool, it'd still make no sense.

[kj1225]

All this talk of Salamanders makes me really excited for when I get a turn.

[Akroma]

well, I broke his spine by maximum over-hug, I dont think he quite drenched the whole room, eventhough the image of a small pack of ketchup comes to mind

[Sanure]

Just note that no actual wounds were inflicted to Kren. He suffered a broken back due to Melinda's strength before the system change, which I guess could have been a lot worse and spilled salamander blood on Melinda.

@Akroma, Fair nough. Perk now gives all basic attacks fire affinity.

@Everyone else who is not participating in plot, all zero of you apparently because we only have like 5 active people :/, RP is available to you right now since nothing is going on. at all

[Adragis]

Eh. Lilian was clinging onto him IIRC. Although she might've just sailed over his head because Melinda Friendly Fire.
I demand flame Lilian!

Butanyway
I'm going to make the most crazy-powerful melee fighter ever and then I'LL be the one everyone complains over
i got your back akroma

[kj1225]

Also, Sanure, you never added me to the plot list.
