So. FYI. Cantrell I think asked Humble to check out the unknown body. If Humble or anyone does I’ll post what you encounter...


... then let you know if a new character is needed lol.


Be sure you read all three parts of Notes in the mini update. Thank you.

Well, now that Lib has PPE again, how fast is the draining effect of the place? If it's "Longer than rounds", that's fine, since he didn't get the Arcane Skill roll earlier.

It won’t be like this forever. It’s due to your proximity to “something”, the Anti Energy something. After things calm down you’ll learn what it is. So for now:

EXCEPTIONAL RAPID DECHARGE
Anyone within proximity looses Power Points (PPE/ISP) at a rate of one point every five minutes. PP are siphoned away from Players and devices.


Good thing those tattoos don’t use PP.

How do the tattoos treat powers of variable cost? I am thinking about taking growth or teleport.

Examples:
If I take...
Barrier how large of a barrier is it only the base cost of 1 PPE for a 1" barrier?
Growth how large can I get +1 Size or +10 size?
Teleport how far can I go 1 level or 10 levels?


It is a free power so Fair is any value. But How does 1 level per rank sound? That would be enough to make a power useful, but not overwhelming.

Parry: 9 (1 from swords)

Humble thinks the best plan is for everyone to go on hold. He runs in and attacks the biggest thing in the room.
Then while they are focused on him the rest of the party lay waste to the distracted bad guys. Because lets face it, who cares about hitting Humble on a 1.


PS: Dan do we have our gear?
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Some questions:

1: What benefit would obsidian or basalt give as a Barrier/Greater Barrier against magma? (ie, looking for extra fire/heat resistance, possibly balanced by making it vulnerable to edged attacks, since those rock types tend to 'splinter' a lot more easily).
2: Can we strap Lady Viggo to Humble's back?
3: Can you activate a tattoo if you're wearing Full EnviPro Armor?
4: Did we have another round of fighting the shadowcats in the hallway outside the cell, that went down the same way? It matters because if we did, then Lib has full PPE as well as all his gear being charged.

1. Provide a example you might wish to do please. If it look feasible = great.
2. Strap her to Humble, Sammy, or cave man drag her by her hair, I'm down with it.
3. Good question. You decide how you use it. Concentrate, or touch, think about it, lick it, I am fine with you devising how you activate it. Its not like you are going to get more of them. Explore how you want to do it.
4. If you are not full PP and need full PP take another vial. My intent/desire was for everyone to start at max before entering the next combat.
OOC Comments
Acid: The spell eats through intervening matter, giving offensive damage-causing spells AP 2. This stacks with any other AP bonuses granted to the spell.

Air: A tremendous blast of air buffets over your foes. Everyone affected must make an Agility check or be knocked prone.

Cold: Victims must make a Vigor roll, –2 if the spellcaster scored a raise. The victim can add bonuses for cold weather clothing. On a failure, he suffers the chills and must redraw any action cards over 10, not including Jokers. This effect lasts until the end of the next round.

Coldfire: Anything affected by the power may catch fire. See the Savage Worlds rulebook.

Darkness/Light: These trappings dim the vision of your foes or dazzle them. Anyone hit by a spell using this trapping must make a Spirit roll.
Failure means victims are at –2 to actions related to sight (including Fighting, Shooting, and Throwing) until the end of the next round.
Armor and deflection spells with a darkness trapping also bestow +2 to Stealth rolls. Those with a light trapping suffer a –2 penalty.

Earth/Water: Offensive spells can cause nonlethal damage. The caster must specify lethal or nonlethal damage before he makes his casting roll.

Electricity: Anyone wearing metal armor or holding a metal weapon affected by a damage-causing spell using this trapping suffers an additional d6 damage. For nondamaging powers, like stun, there is no extra effect (the electricity is the reason for the spell’s effect). Electrical armor and barrier spells cause attackers using metal melee weapons who make a successful Fighting
attack against the spell’s target to make a Vigor roll or be knocked back 1” and fall prone. If their Vigor die is a 1, regardless of the Wild Die, they are Shaken as well.

Fire: Anything affected by the power may catch fire. See the Savage Worlds rulebook.

Heat: Heat causes nonlethal damage. Victims have no chance of catching fi re. A heat barrier causes 2d4 damage to anyone trying to jump through.

Ice: One obvious thing about ice is that it is slippery. Blast, bolt, burst, and prolonged blast make the affected area slippery. Each bolt affects a 1” square, whereas blast
and burst affects the area under the Template. Anything moving through the affected area treats it as smooth ice (see page 122). This effect lasts until the caster’s next action card for Instant spells (or start of the next round if he is Incapacitated in the meantime) or until the spell ends for Maintained spells.

Necromancy: Most necromancy spells can involve summoning fell spirits or producing life-draining energy. Every wound inflicted on a victim, heals the mage that many wounds (if he has any).
Sound: This power relies on shockwaves of sound, creating an enormous boom that can rattle the bones of its victims. Those affected by this power must make a Vigor roll or be deafened for d6 hours. Deafened characters are treated as if they have the Major Hard of Hearing Hindrance.

Re: OOC Area for Hell Pillar Hunters (The Vanished)

Post by Freemage »

Here's what I was thinking.

Basalt Wall/Obsidian Wall (barrier/stalwart walls)
This device uses a small shard of the base material, subjecting it to a magical resonance field, causing the minerals to coalesce into a wall of the stuff. This follows the normal rules for barrier spell (which is made of basalt) or stalwart walls (which is made of obsidian), with the following additional effects: The barrier gains +4 Armor vs. fire/heat attacks, but because the volcanic rocks are so brittle, cutting attacks gain +4 Damage and can gain an extra d6 from an attack Raise.

The idea is that Lib would construct the device (using the first of his 6/session builds) prior to opening the door, and his round 1 action would be to drop a barrier along the north side of the bridge, providing the group with protection against the lava-tossing Colossal Demon.

**************

I don't think shark-women have hair, so Lib will rig up a harness for Humble, so he can wear her like a novelty backpack. Should I include a Repair roll in my post?

**************

Just noting here for me to put into the sheet later: neck tattoo (speak language) activated by touching, also drops his voice an octave in the process. Drain Power Points activated by posing with arm fully extended and hand fully splayed out like a Greek moutza. (However, he doesn't have to say, "Nah!")

**************

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to assume there's no vials left over.

I like it, but as a note for consistency it is impossible to score a raise against a Barrier they follow the breaking things rules so Parry 2, no raises to hit, and dice do not explode when attacking them.


Edit this is not a comment to balance and I would totally allow this trapping. Only a indicator of one aspect not needed.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

My point was that this trapping allows for edged attacks to roll a raise (on a 6 to hit) and get an extra, non-exploding d6.

I understand. I did not realize you were adding the ability of an attack raise as an additional weakness. I would still allow it, and think it sounds really cool.

Yeah--I might not have gone there with a 'known Power' (ie, if it was just being added to Lib's Power list), but the straight "vulnerability/resistance" swap is VERY powerful in the hands of a TW, who can custom-build to the situation. So I err on the side of caution when making these proposals--made the vulnerability a little bit worse than the benefit of the resistance.

  • Read on for a synopsis:

    Image

    The Colossal Demon is outside (because once you open doorway you are exiting the cell block area and going out over a bridge. Sulfur and heat are present and its dim lighting) the giant demon is stepping out of lava and will likely throw lava at you. Sounds like Libertas might be tossing up a barrier / wall to protect you as you move across the bridge.

    On the bridge and in the building / hallway beyond bridge are some demons and monsters.

    There are two shadow hounds. Parry 8 and Toughness 18.

    There are four shadow beasts. Parry 8 and Toughness 18.

    Thankfully you all have your gear, weapons, armor etc back now.

    Cade mentioned that by using the chair to hold open the closing door at end of hallway will stop you from being trapped in cell area.

    Sounds like Jitters will be handling that aspect.

    Basically what's left to do is:

    Take out the 7 monsters in hall, get past closing door into the next hallway.
    From there, Cade will let you know that you need to get to room 22 and steal the pillars in there.
    I will add that information into his post. In Game.

    Thanks.

(9) UV grenades: Range 5/10/20; Damage 2d10 (sunlight trapping)

I think they're LBT, but can go back and look. I never actually used one, always planned to pull the pins if I ever got surrounded by vamps. Basically just frags with a sunlight trapping and slightly different damage dice.

They're really only useful if the shadow things have some sort of weakness to sunlight.

If you use them while fighting any of shadow beasts or hounds the damage is increased by a d6.

Contact
Your hero sees an old friend or acquaintance who might help him in his current quest somehow. Of course, he may also ask for a favor in return.
Enemy
Play at the beginning of the game session. A villain of the GM's choice becomes your character's sworn enemy and you may not soak wounds caused directly by him. Starting Now, you draw an extra Adventure Card each game session until the enemy is "retired".
Better You Than Me
Play when your hero has been hit by an attack and there is an adjacent character. The other character suffers the attack instead. This may be played on friend or foe.

  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Sammy, Libertas, and Alex your Mutations are posted within your posts.

Here's the deal. You get a mutation you don't like, just cannot see yourself living with? Hate it? Wish you had not done that? If so, each Mutation can be "bought off" and erased if you take a Minor Hindrance instead. This "deal" is good now, if you keep the Mutation and return to Earth and still have it, to buy it off later in the characters life (medical treatments at Castle) it costs a Major Hindrance.

Cantrell's got a magic gauntlet that casts smite with a destructive flame trapping ... normally I hesitate to use 'cause it can destroy gear, but I'm pretty sure we won't have time to loot these ladies (or would want to don anything that's been down here that long), so I've narrated her actions as blowing nice holes in their armor for someone else to exploit.

You have 4 pillars and are in Colorado somewhere with the 1st SET. Now you need to get to Gloom with those Pillars.

Question: Would Cantrell have time to pick up an underbarrel grenade launcher and have Lib install it on her rifle during the time we're back in Gloom, before the raid on the CEAL lab? Judging from the NG-L5 vs. NG-LG6, a rifle-mounted GL would be ~4,000 credits and add 5 lbs. to weight.

Time might be an issue as he is already working on modifications to his armor. Also I would to see if gay is something covered by he tinker edge. Or if the launchers themselves say it is super easy then it should be doable without repair.

More seriously: Even in the real-world, underbarrel GLs are modular and pretty easy to install. Just trying to establish how much one would cost.

Going from the TLPG, the NG rifles I mentioned above had identical stats for the laser part, but the one with the built-in grenade launcher (Range: 18/36/72, 8 Shots) costs 4,000 more and weighs an extra 5 lbs.

Another example is in Sci-Fi Companion. That version says explicitly it can be attached to a rifle. It has longer range (24/48/96) and a larger magazine (20 Shots), weighs more (8 lbs.) and would cost 7,000 credits at the standard x10 conversion rate.

I'd be happy with the smaller capacity version, but the big one is fine, as well.

The other way of doing it, which doesn't make much sense, would be to use the Tinker rules to add a WI-GL4 revolving launcher as an embedded weapon system. But that ends up weighing 15 lbs, costing 75,000 credits and taking ... 10d6 days or something ridiculous.

But why would you want to put a WI-GL4 on a laser as an underbarrel attachment when you already have the WI-GL4? (JK) In all seriousness, the weight from the WI-GL4 comes from the barrel, cylinder the rounds are loaded in (I think that is what that part is called, the part that cowboys would spin on revolvers), stock, handle, and ammo (because those grenades are probably at least half a pound each, if not a full pound). They probably just list the weight like that with the assumption that it is loaded (because it makes for a very nice club if it's not loaded). If you are wanting to install it under the barrel of a rifle, the only part you really need is the barrel, I would estimate that to being a third of the weapon's weight (which, incidentally, is the same as the under barrel grenade launcher on the NG weapon to being a little over).

Naw it is a minor upgrade using tinker since the sci-fi one is already ready to be attached. Buy and use the sci-fi one, pay a tinker 5k times 50% for markup( 7k plus (5k x1.5)). Persuasion roll reduces markup by 5% per raise. No need to roll to find a tinker, now that we have the edge folks are coming out of the wood work. Takes 4d6 hours, make a streetwise roll to find a tinker who can do it in half the time.

Nevermind then. I'm not sure why Tinker would even come into play, since the Sci Fi Companion says it can be attached to a rifle, no roll or special skill required. I don't have access to that much cash, regardless, so I'll just wait until I can kill a Coalition soldier and snag a Dragonfire rifle.

Gotcha. After some hard soul searching just pick the barest launcher and strap it on. Toss in a little rp of what gloomer gave it to you.

Yeah, Freemage pointed out some very obvious clues like the map provided and the initiative I just missed being a little slower than the average bear.

Sorry to waste your time with a silly and obvious Q.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

As for the combat, Dan, note that you've got one or two Spirit rolls to make. Technically, if he fails the first roll, but you think the order to murder his students is against his nature, then I have to make another TW roll and then you make another Spirit roll. Lib just figured that was more likely than actually getting him to surrender peaceably.

Somehow I feel like murdering his minions is not something that would bother him.

Examples:
If I take...
Barrier how large of a barrier is it only the base cost of 1 PPE for a 1" barrier?
Growth how large can I get +1 Size or +10 size?
Teleport how far can I go 1 level or 10 levels?


It is a free power so Fair is any value. But How does 1 level per rank sound? That would be enough to make a power useful, but not overwhelming.
Still curious. PM sent

I'll post this here in case it got/gets lost in Hangouts:

Want to double check to be sure you're understanding of rifle-launched grenades is the same as mine:
Per the description of Area Effect Attacks (p.70 of SWD, not Explorer's ed), Diving for Cover only applies to thrown weapons and artillery -- grenade launcher-launched 'nades are neither, so doesn't apply. Also, per p. 89 of the TLPG, rifle-launched grenades are "almost always impact-driven," meaning they explode on contact, so no throwing them back.

If we're on the same page, and the rifle-launched grenade would not grant t'Fethic a chance to dodge or throw back, that's what Cantrell will use. If you (Dan) would rule that either of those rolls would apply, I'll retool my narrative a bit and go with the plasma cannon.

Keep in mimd TF is a NPC. He could have trappings on powers or abilities that would give him the ability to do what you described. This is the first time we encountered him, but from the sounds of it he has gone through this senario multiple times.

Yep, just waiting to hear from Dan. I've got Bennies to burn on the damage roll, whether it's with the grenade launcher or the plasma cannon. Only real difference is the AP.

I think Pender's point might be, "Sure, the rules NORMALLY would work like that, so that's what you'd expect, but t'Fethic, being a cheaty-ass, timey-wimey P.O.S. might be able to violate those rules in ways our characters wouldn't expect."

shutupshutupshutup

For instance, if he's a full-blown Evil Time Lord of the sort who captures and trains Temporal Wizards and Warriors to do his raiding, then he might very well have a unique ability: "Timey Wimey BS: You may spend a benny to take a counter-action on any action someone else makes, because you've been through this encounter before."

Along that line of thought, not to be a complete ass, but predicting Cantrell's shot and having Stalwart Walls in place, time manipulators are asshats. Lets kill them all please.



ALSO

so as example: Jitters rolls to hit and got a success to hit, but was "countered" by a high Parry = Jitters still got a success.

At the end of round one, IF you roll a success or better, you get the "bennie, or item, or whatever" even if I have the attack "countered".

Special boss abilities I can handle. The Temporal Fugue/ disaszociation field is cool. But at present it appears that the goons that teleported to our location and lost initiative somehow ended up casting an unknown version of the Barrier spell (even Stalwart Walls wouldnt stop all the damage, and the Temporal version is even weaker) with unknown invisibility/impossible to detect trappings, and cast it out of initiative order with no chance of detection. I'd just like to know, mechanically, what's going on, so that I can make decisions about actions to take/resources to use going forward.

I totally get that, but would our characters know what is mechanically going on? All we know is that a grenade encountered a field and barrier and was blocked completely. I am fine being kept in the dark and trying to figure out these guys as we go.
To me he scene is about not knowing what is going on or what their abilities are. Lets throw everything at them and see what sticks.

I guess I don't know what the dirty underwear test is.

I don't want to make this into a thing, and I'm not asking for everything to be clear to my character or for me to know all the twists and turns that are coming. I just want to know whether the opposition is following the same rules our characters do, because that has a pretty significant impact on the parameters of the combat and on how I'll make decisions about Bennies, etc.

I am just happy to see Drust spending bennies so rapidly. At this rate we will own this scenario.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

But at present it appears that the goons that teleported to our location and lost initiative somehow ended up casting an unknown version of the Barrier spell (even Stalwart Walls wouldnt stop all the damage, and the Temporal version is even weaker) with unknown invisibility/impossible to detect trappings, and cast it out of initiative order with no chance of detection.
My thought was, they came with some spells activated prior to arrival. Such as say t'Fethic has Quickness already cast on him prior to popping in to say hello. Instead of having to cast it, its already running. There are seven bad guys, I picked seven active spells running for them when they popped in. (Now only 6). They planned this meeting, and have "done it before". One Spell was Stalwart Walls, cast right where Cantrell has shot "before". It would only work once, because the damage would destroy the section of wall when hit by the grenade.

I wrote this: Stalwart Wall Section between t'Fethic and Cantrell is destroyed. (Placed there, brought, by student). Small Burst Temp: 1" radius, 2" diameter.

In other words placed between Cantrell and t'Fethic is a wall and it is hit by grenade, which explodes in a SBT, which no one is in. The grenade explodes when hitting the wall. Of course the wall is now destroyed. The explosion goes off, no one is in the SBT and damage is done to the floor.

If you use the same tactic again, the wall is down, and as long as your shot is true, you'll strike who ever you shoot at.

As far as a invisible trapping on the wall. I realize the book says, made of Ice, or Stone, or Brick, or Electricity, etc..... why would it not be able to be made out of a material that was "invisible"?

This wall is not the hill I want to die on. It does not do anything for the bad guys or me the GM, other than "demoralize" the Character with thoughts of "oh crap, how are we going to win?"

It wasn't about Stalwart Wall stopping all the damage: It was about the wall making the grenade hit something and go boom in a SBT that no one was in.

Forget the wall. Because ultimately, its not going to be the reason the bad guys are saved or die. I'll go rewrite the results of being shot at by a grenade. (24 Damage, AP 8, and targets least-armored part of body) Okay, FYI t'Fethic is a retrapped Savage Foe. I didn't announce his Toughness yet in a post. However, I guess I will now.

t'Fethic (Wild Card)
Parry 9
Toughness 35 (10) // Active Spell of: Phase Field (Armor): +4 Armor and not effected by AP.
39 (14)

Too powerful? It's like fighting a Dragon basically. (He is a retrapped Dragon basically, check out Merl in the 1st, his Toughness is 35 something too).

1. The wall was meant to activate the explosion.
2. Not as a OMG thank god we are saved, but as a hahaha we know what you are going to do.
3. If wall is "invisible" and made out of some unknown, can't see it material, that just sounds like something a Player would try coming up with, and doesn't seem like a rule breaker. does not matter tho - wall gone (re-written, unused).
4. Forget wall, I'll just toss it out.
5. Post was updated to reflect the grenade striking t'Fethic.

I've got no issues with pre-cast spells, etc., I was just confused because per the standard rules Stalwart Walls can't be moved after casting and even Invisibility grants a chance of detection. Just wanted to know what was going on. Thanks for clearing it up.

I get Rules light and Story heavy often. Not always the best thing in a RPG. I don’t ever mind questions or asking for clarity.

Thanks, game on.

You also said not to wait on you to post. So I guess I'll have the bad guys go then carry on...

NEW GM Post Here.

Read away, but please wait to post until I notify you via here or Hangouts. Gargamel and I are discussing his possible Blaze. So if that happens, I'd like to have him post first. Thanks.
