((Flabort was last active 5 days ago, and hasn't responded to my poke, so I'm going on without him. Seeing as the likely cause of his absence is illness, though, I'm not Protocol Ding his character just yet. Also because we still have nobody in the waitlist.))

Turn 27: Adjusting the RulesINIT:
OceanSoul/Blue(87)
NAV/Dave Blade(76-15=61)
Person/Raphael(3)
flabort/Flabort(N/A)
Feathered Steak Golem(92-30=62)
ATHATH/Grimmy(60)
Coolrune206/Frank(25)
Blue saw multiple opportunities here.
Take dino, slingshot Flabort, then toss both loots into the pit.
The dinosaur wasn't trying to run away or anything, and Flabort wasn't trying to take it for himself, so Blue snatched it. Blue wanted a Tier 2 loot badly, but his current slingshot was awesome. He compromised by firing the slingshot one more time at Flabort.
Shoot!(3) vs. Puppetry!(3)
Though Flabort's mind wasn't present, he still moved just so slightly out of the way. Something was behind his actions.
Blue shrugged, then tossed his slingshot and the dinosaur of hate into the pit.
A chainsaw popped back out. It looked like it had something merged with it... then it started playing music. Very loudly. Blue recognized what the merged thing was from a previous life: a radio!
Dave Blade, off in another universe, had a knife in his foot.
"Ow! At least that'll heal when we kill this thing. Nice hit by the way."
Create a pit between myself and the golem for a bit of defense, so it can't just run straight towards me, has to go around pit. Throw all my remaining blades with my good hand. Limp away if it tries to get close.
Dave Blade pulled out a looted brown gemstone from his pocket, then pressed a button affixed to it.
Affinity!(5)
Earth simply vanished as Dave Blade willed it, forming a pit in between him and the Feathered Steak Golem.
Knife Throw!(6) vs. Dodge!(2-2=0)
The knife throw was dead on, striking the head.
Damage!(2, 2 = 2) vs. Resist!(4)
It still basically bounced off the flesh golem. Dave Blade seemed confused, then clutched his hurt hand as he realized he used it to throw again. Then Dave Blade noticed that the golem was trying to pull something...
The Feathered Steak Golem's patience vanished.
Special attack: Rain of Blades!
Feathers!(3) vs. Dodge!(1-1=0)
The golem swung an arm, and the feathers on it flew off towards Dave Blade. In mid-air, they turned into katana. Caught off guard by this development, Dave Blade was hit.
Damage!(2+1=3, 2+1=3 = 3) vs. Resist!(3)
Somehow, however, Dave Blade managed to deflect the incoming katana using a held throwing knife.
At about the same time in another dimension,
Grimmy decided murder was in order.
Let the reaping... BEGIN (attack someone)!
Someone!(Frank)
Frank was looking like a vulnerable target.
Scythe!(2) vs. Dodge!(4)
Grimmy's attack was quick, but Frank's dodge was quicker.
Frank didn't like that at all.
Frank downs the white potion, and evades any incoming attack by running away.
Frank pulled out his white potion and drank it.
Affinity!(3)
Nothing much immediately happened, but Frank did feel different. There was a connection there somewhere... there! At Frank's will, his bones twitched.
Frank then took off, east, to the hills. He would be safer there.
Raphael was stunned by the Feathered Steak Golem's power over katana, but eventually recovered.
"Thanks man! Eww. Guess I'll clean that off at some point."
Keep swinging the scarf. If my affinity roll fails, just use the knife instead.
Affinity!(3)
The scarf moved weakly. Raphael wasn't having it, and grabbed the knife from his scarf, then went on the attack.
Knife!(2) vs. Dodge!(1-2=-1)
The golem saw Raphael coming a long time ago, but was too slow to react.
Knife!(1) vs. Resist!(5-1=4)
Critical Fail!(3)
Raphael drove the knife into the Feathered Steak Golem's chest. Then Raphael noticed that his hand was burning, and pulled it out.
Flabort wasn't doing much, but his friend cloak had ideas of its own...
Puppetry!(4)
Tendrils entered Flabort's brain. If its host wasn't going to do anything, the cloak thought, it would have to take over...
~~~
And the prize for best suggestion goes to...
NAV/Dave Blade!
I've actually implemented some of what he said this turn.
1. In the event that an attacker gets 40 more INIT than an opponent, they get an extra accuracy die. If they get 80 more INIT than the opponent, they get two extra accuracy die. It's also possible to invert(supply extra die to dodge) this bonus if the defender has the same difference and is focused on the attacker.
2. In the event that an accuracy roll is 3 or more greater than the dodge roll, the attacker gets an extra damage die.
3. Particularly powerful weapons(chainsaws, katana) get damage bonuses either in the form of bonuses or extra dice now.
A pair of brass knuckles dropped onto Dave Blade's hands. His injured hand immediately began hurting more.
