Bearded!

It's Grey Hunter's panel. Are you on strike for my lack of map?

Hey Dust!

I've got the GIMP for the background. Can you draw some heads for Osmium and Grey Hunter tokens? Email them to me when you can.

Sure thing Saker. Do you want round or square tokens?

Also BD, can you give me a description of G. Hunter's head? :)

he's about 19 or so wearing red lensed gogles and a deep gray hood. His look is not entirely dissimilar to many hooded depictions of Green Arrow.

Bearded

I'm glad your back. Bulletproof is not on the map. He's Hiding. Make a Tough Notice check with a Moderate Bonus (+2) to see him.

Then I shoot he wall, very accurately. I'm not rolling the dice twenty times a panel.

Then shoot Armstrong... the only bad guy that you see. Labeled A on the map.

Or I just wait until bulletproof reveals himself from hiding to shoot the hostages and carry out my action as planned.

Look, I came to play Basic Action Super Heroes. I want to have fun doing super heroish things, I don't want to have to roll dice all the time. I'm not built to make a constant string of tough mind checks. If your story at this point hinges on us failing in this task that's fine, do it with narration, and give us some hero points for the plot twist, don't do it by requiring a bunch of dice rolls that would be statistical miracles if we succeeded at for relatively mundane tasks.

This game is not, so far, matching my play style, which is not to say you are running it "wrong" there is no wrong way to have fun. However this is not the way I tend to have fun.

Looking to bypass Bulletproof's armor, or whatever makes him able to ignore damage, by making a called shot probably not successful with that abysmal roll.

Yes. You will do +10 damage, as opposed to bypass his "armor," which mathematically will be close to the same.

How many Hero Points do you have left?

cheers
