"Guys where are you? Me and Ruby (that is my nickname for Rudolos) over here can't take on these guys on our own. Anyway when you come, help Ruby. I have some business to finish"

Before I post my action, can I ask a few questions? How many turns do stat boosts last? How much essence would be required to create an explosion as powerful as two sticks of dynamite? Do I need good awareness to see a Yami core dangling before my eyes? How about if it's only slightly exposed? How do I tell if a Yami is dead? Is their skin as tough as actual metal?

That's all.

One turn, but they last the whole turn across all actions that use them.

How would you do that at all? Your Natures are "Crystal and Illusion", I'm not sure how you can make and explosion out of that.

No, if the core is visible, you'll see it. But you could try to use awareness to figure out where it is without directly seeing it.

The Yami very obviously collapse and fall apart when their core is destroyed.

Their skin IS actually metal. These ones have flesh made of literal barbed wire.

Come on come on come on, get there quick!
10 Essence to min speed, 5 to max Dex, 11 to min, get to Rudulos and slice that thing's head off!
Am I gonna have to roll initiative for that?

If you're getting into a contested action you ALWAYS have to roll initiative to see who acts first.

Okay then, editing turn.

About how to make an explosion like that. I was thinking of simply making the crystal already embedded in the Yami explode for massive damage.

Go to the battle if I'm not there yet. Club the nearest monster if I am.

That would work. Probably for something about as powerful as a hand grenade shoot for around 14-20

Sorry about the lack of action recently, busy busy busy and this game takes a bit to update because it's more mechanically complex then the others.

((No problem at all; you certainly have a lot of different projects eating up your time.))

Ok so you lose...thats gonna be lets say 130 essence spilled from you having your head crunched and then getting skewered by spikes.

((And this is why I didn't bother with spellcasting before entering combat. They've gone and given me enough essence to do pretty much whatever the hell I want to.

Next time, though, I'll probably do the same sort of thing that heydude is doing right now. Loosing ~30 essence on your own terms is much better than loosing 100+ and your head besides... figures, eh?

And with all the combat magic I am doing/plan on doing, five points into Courage will get me pretty far. At least I'm getting all the stupid out of my system. With that I could even pull off simple magic attacks without loosing essence [even if the rolls would be pretty tight].))

His skull crunches in like a walnut in a vice grip and blood and organic matter flows out in a torrent.

((Gods damn it, why must all of my sensory organs be located on the same body part? Pretty shitty combat design. Remind me to rip some spares off of the Yami during the campaign.))

"Me and Ruby (that is my nickname for Rudolos) over here can't take on these guys on our own."

((Works well enough. At least people will be able to spell it consistently :p

I think it would be cute if you had a gemstone nickname for everyone on the team, too.))

((With 130 essence at my disposal... My first gut instinct is to create a spark of nuclear fusion, but I think piecewise might get annoyed at me for that :p))

I would take issue with the insinuation that I require help, but the only sensory input my body is receiving right now is in the form of serrated wires plunged into my flesh, so I can't even hear it in the first place. I have no mouth and I must scream and such. So...

Put all 130 essence into a solar flare about three meters in diameter, centered on myself. Make it hot enough to vaporize carbon and turn steel into a thin slurry.

If I can code the spell to not destroy my mortal form, do that. If not it isn't a dealbreaker.

Would blinding an opponent use Courage or Purity?
Do grafted limbs count as bare hands for getting Yami Hearts? Can you rip off somethings arm and use it to pull it's heart out? Metal AF.

[Toaster]

((Restraint is Courage))

10 essence to dodge (Speed, right?)

Cut off left hand and use spilled essence to polymorph some acidic tentacles that are capable of grasping an enemy.  If that's not enough, do left arm instead.  ((Polymorphs aren't in the example charts))

[heydude6]

Transmutations aren't in there either.

[Ruludos]

((We'd drive ourselves insane trying to cram every example in there, though.))

[Egan_BW]

This might be dead. is this dead?

[AkumaKasai]

Probably.

[Andres]

Don't f*cking necro. When I get a notification for a thread I've long since stopped bookmarking, I expect the new post to be made by the GM. This is just an annoying waste of my time.
