[Adragis]

That's like saying it's unfair if people don't get Sandra and the healing she'd give them. It's obvious and also what makes the game fun.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Not necessarily? Healing =/= vital information that one team gets whereas everyone else gets to get rekt? We had this problem already and that's part of the reason Sachi even exists?

[Adragis]

But it shouldn't BE a problem.

[TheBiggerFish]

GMs are not necessarily good at unobtrusively telegraphing vital information.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Also, we have five medics, IIRC. We have ONE analyst.

Of course, I forget myself. The issue wasn't to do with the fairness of information at all, but the ease of figuring out said information. As we saw, not all our GMs are skilled at giving enough information to allow us to figure out the rest, skilled as they are at other aspects. Sachi is to be used as a tool to exposit if necessary; a GM-sanctioned 'Hint' button, basically. If the players and player-GMs want to make use of her abilities, that is up to them. As I've said prior, her Analysis is subject to GM discretion as to if it reveals anything, and if so, what it reveals.

If you have issues with my use of NPCs, I suggest you take it up with San. I've considered the introduction of said NPC for a while longer than the fiasco which actually necessitated her entrance, so I've considered the consequences and balanced her as well as I can.

doubters get fucked

[Sanure]

Before anyone does ask, I approved Sachi as a support NPC, because I also thought that it was necessary to have a NPC to help facilitate particularly frustrating battles.

And just so that we have more than two Support Characters/NPCs, I can tell you now that Periw's next ability is going to be a scan ability.

the new RWBY ep.........

[kj1225]

Well, if it's any consolation, they did say that there was going to be some bits in Vacuo.
If what I think you're dotting about is correct of course.

[TheBiggerFish]

I feel like I need to start watching RWBY for some reason.

[Twinwolf]

I feel like I need tk start watching RWBY for some reason.

Yes you do.

Also: Can't watch the new episode because the server is at maximum capacity 

[SOLDIER First]

No, I meant the part where

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mercury attacks Yang, and she breaks his leg, but it's actually an illusion, and to everyone else it looks like she broke his leg for no reason.

That's what I meant.
