Good luck in your schooling! No worries about sow updates - that's ppretty normal. consistency is key to game longevity, more than frequency. a game that updates regularly once a week tends to have better staying power than one that updates six times in one day, twice the next, eight the following, and so forth.

I'm wondering about that finisher.

Quote
You'd roll dice equal to your Advantage [9]--if you get more than [5] successes, you end the battle. If not, you lose your advantage and your Fatigue counter goes up to [9]

I wonder what would count as a success. Which of my attributes would be in play? which of the enemy's attributes?

Quote
You climb up the ladder to the top of the second story (2 Pc) and then leap down (+2 attack), throwing yourself toward the creature with all of your might. (+5 attack from remaining Pc)

I got +5 from having 5 unused Pc for that previous attack. Would that be in play this time? If so, a finisher seems almost a no-brainer. But successes are 4 or higher on a d6, which means i have roughly even odds of succeeding, without modifiers.

On the other hand, with 9 advantage, no fatigue, and the enemy wounded, burning, and fatigued, It might be wise to do more normal attacks and win by attrition. If I can keep it from further damaging Nagisa in the process.

I was once considering adding stats to finishers. But you can attack first, then -> finisher and it would be similar.

The only enemy stat that matters is Defense. Finishers can't be dodged and they prevent retaliation on the same turn (sneaky fix for the question of whether the enemy attacks before you finish or not--turns are meant to be simultaneous).

The +5 wasnt because Pc was unused, it's because you used it to leap and that speed was converted to attack. Now that you're in melee range you'll have to back off to use Pc again.

So you're right, it would be a roughly 50/50 chance right now. :)

Ah. I wondered about that, since Pc wasn't typically an attack stat, but a movement one.

Internet's down on my desktop. >.<
That's going to put a small dent in the schedule.

6 player cap, was looking to fill the last one. On leave means he is always at the bottom of the waitlist but I still have some plot drafted for him if he decides to come back.

Bluexdog already made a character but I haven't started on integrating anyone yet. If another person makes a character  I'll pick which one makes it in.

I'm assuming we aren't able to play as any major historical figures? Or any ones in general?

I'd prefer you make a fictional character. That way we don't need to worry about historical accuracy.
