Indeed. ^^; I'm going to try to recap everything in this post.

So, yeah. No Super Saint. This isn't Final Fantasy 7. >.> (You all know what materia combination I'm talking about.)

Will add that skill, Krath.

Unfortunately, Irony, I'm going to have to say yes. >:3 You'd better keep Wymar alive no matter what, since that's merely how powerful he is in life. Like Marcus and Malakai's about to be, he's going to be even stronger when he's on team Evil.

If you're in the game and ask for a waitlist you get put on the waitlist's waitlist, although Talarion would be of a slightly lower priority than everyone else since he's on his second character whereas, say, Ahra is still rolling with his first. ^^; WWs only get moved to the actual waitlist once their character's dead.

Also, Tal, you're forgetting you have that Blue Amulet which is going to be extremely useful against Malakai. Almost all of his attacks will be magic and you have a 25% chance to power through all of them. The two people with the worst chances are Wymar (since he's specifically specced for damage over survivability) and Greenmoore (since he has the next lowest HP and Dwarmin's determined to kill him off during play ).

Updating skill Zako.

Finally, is that all the actions? I kinda got confused.

[Darvi]

Sometimes, offense is the best defense, especially if I can blackmail the rest of the group to keep me alive.

Yeah, even if my character's a nice guy I'm a massive jerk.

Also, how about, when I get reduced to 0 HP, I still have a round left to action? So I can still cast a spell in retaliation or something.

[IronyOwl]

Will resisting Malakai's attacks use Defense or Movement?

And that's... probably all of the actions from people who wanted to action (I can't think of what I want to buy, so I'll buy nothing for now). It's hard to tell.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I dunno. I was going to use Movement against magic but Ahra didn't like the change, and no one else expressed an opinion.

[Darvi]

Wha? I didn't notice anything of the sort or I'd have heavily approved for it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

That was awhile back. Twenty, thirty pages maybe? I dunno, it was when I first started talking about expanding combat.

[Darvi]

Ah well. I'm all offense now so I'll just enjoy the fact that the enemies won't get to evade my magical onslaught.

[IronyOwl]

Well, Ahra's obviously rather biased.

I like it, naturally, but I'm arguably even more biased. >_> Or at least, I like Movement being used for nonstandard effects, like being grabbed or entangled.

I think one of the major issues, and likely the root of Ahra's complaint, can be seen by imagining a falling chandelier. Obviously, you'd use Movement to get out of the way- but it's also easy to imagine a guy in full plate and carrying a massive shield would be less injured by it landing on him. There's no good way to synch up (all possible versions of) flavor, balance, and simplicity.

That said, balance and simplicity should generally win out.

[Talarion]

Also, Tal, you're forgetting you have that Blue Amulet which is going to be extremely useful against Malakai. Almost all of his attacks will be magic and you have a 25% chance to power through all of them. The two people with the worst chances are Wymar (since he's specifically specced for damage over survivability) and Greenmoore (since he has the next lowest HP and Dwarmin's determined to kill him off during play ).

Good point. Nonetheless, I already have my next character written up. Mainly because I was bored >.>

[SeriousConcentrate]

I think I said special attacks, which I guess would be the called/aimed shots, disarms, trips, bull charges, grapples, dismemberment, eye gouging, moving to a flanking position, power attacks, etc, and just leave defense for the standard melee, ranged, and magic attacks.

PreEdit: You ninjas. >.> Also, really? Huh.

[Talarion]

So, who are we waiting on to run the turn?

[SeriousConcentrate]

We're waiting on meh to go get some caffè, most likely. That and figure out what's going on in the flurry of OOC. ^^;

[Talarion]

Mmk. Well, I'll stop derping like Darvi then, and let you get to it.

[Darvi]

Well Greenmore was about to dream about ham, I was going to figure out how to use holy fire, and Claire is about to get overwhelmed by information from our incredibly intelligent mages.

E: we were derping?

[Talarion]

You always derp, Darvi. I on the other hand was being a derplurker.
