Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

To explain a bit more:

If a knight's shield is 5*5 or something, Argent uses something more like a 2*2.  Whereas 1*1 would be basically an armor plate on his arm.  It's designed to be moved about as the need for defense arises, not to be a massive sheet of metal that just gets in the way.

...I somewhat doubt he would just suddenly decide to look towards the ceiling.
Frankly, so do I, but I have no relevant stat, and the spear was specifically aimed at his neck so it had to come in at an angle.

What stats would perception be based off of?

It has been determined that Trump is an average unladen swallow travelling northbound at his maximum sustainable speed of -3 Obama-cubits per second in the middle of a class 3 hurricane.

stats aren't used in freeform and obviously the thing won't kill him immediately

I know that but still, I have nothing to draw from.

Precision, perhaps?

Again, you don't need stats in freeform. That's why it's called freeform.
Just do what you think would realistically happen and stop worrying about artificial limits like stats.

it's alright, in freeform everyone gets a few bits of basicaly free dodges. As long as it does not happen often.


The only thing that has me peeved is that I actually tried to think about when and how to attack based on what openings were presented to me. That being brushed off with "but the shield is fast!" makes me simply note that in the future, I need not put effort when freeforming with TBF, waste of time and unrewarding.

edit: man, what did I just say about "as long as it doesnt happen often?"

:(

I don't think the cooldown on Violet's Semblance was ever discussed. 3 turns?
3 turn limit per encounter. This may change later on, but don't quote me on that.

As in, she can use it three times per fight? Or like there is a 3 turn cooldown between safe (I.E. No major drawbacks) uses?

Both.

I can draw up an IC reason to the limit, if you so wish. It's mainly to help balance how strong it is.

She's already mentioned that she can't use it frequently without major drawbacks, but if you think that it needs more explanation go ahead.

Wonder where Blitz went. Because Prim is going to have nobody to fight if Russell remains catatonic.
