Professor Paragon vs. The Blue Angel

[BASHMAN]

Previously, Prof. Paragon had missed Blue Angel, trying to take away her energy rod. Thinking he was trying to steal her advanced technology, she retaliated with a mighty blow, turning the beam of her rod into a crushing mace!

Well, if you have Defensive Style that adds +2 MULTIPLIER bonus to your Defense roll. But a -1 Dice Pen. for Density.

So you rolled a 5-1 = 4 x4 = 16.

So I hit by more than 20. Double Damage from Attack Weak Point.

And I choose to spend a Hero Point with Attack Weak Point to make her Hit Roll (an 11) into her Damage Roll.

11x6 = 66 Doubled = 132 Damage!

That's 132 feet of Knock-back too-but don't forget that Density Increase helps reduce it as well as Brawn.

[BASHMAN]

I rolled a 6 and a 2...

so

8 x's 4 = 32 +10 to my soak = 42.

I also have a Resistance to knock-back..So I am not exactly sure how much damage I take..

A lot I imagine...

What are my other options to mitigate my damage?

[BASHMAN]

Professor Paragon can use a Hero Die on that soak roll to help.

Then, it's his turn, too!

[therealtony]

so roll one other d6 and add it to my original 8?

[AslanC]

Yes you do... and if it matches one of the other dice, it explodes

[therealtony]

ok.... so I use my hero die and I roll a 4

so

12 x 4 = 36 +10 = 46

Since he only has 80 hit points to begin with..(due to isotope poisoning) I think the good Professor might be out of combat!

[BASHMAN]

Well, there is always the option of using a Hero Die to snap out of it, if you have one left.

Seeing Prof. Paragon seemingly unconscious, Blue Angel goes up to him to see if he's okay.

"Well, it seems he'll live. I wonder what it was he was after..."

[therealtony]

looking over Professor Paragon's character sheet, there are a couple of things on there I didn't really take advantage of in my defence.

Quick Thinking or Versitile...

also I am not sure I even had enough points for a hero die since PP was at 40 points and The Blue Angel was 39...

I have a great respect for "Attack Weak Point " now! Holy Smokes!!!

[BASHMAN]

I thought this was the 50 point tier...

[therealtony]

ah...so if that is the case, I do have a hero die left over...

does this mean the fight might be able to continue?

[AslanC]

This is a 50 point match.

Care to cash in 5 hp for an hd and spend it to wake up with 20 health?

[therealtony]

hurm...

is there a way to combine it with Versatile and say the "Isotope Omega" in Professor paragon's bloodstream gives gives him a bigger bonus?

[AslanC]

You could use one hero die to wake up and then your Versatile (as your action) to power stunt Healing maybe?

The only issue I see is that Healing is a rank based power, and I am not sure how many ranks "Power Stunting" it would give you.

I would say default 1... unless you could base it off a power maybe? Though looking over your sheet nothing jumps to mind.

So 1 x Brawn.

You could also sacrifice your last HD to Power Stunt Boost: Brawn 1, give you a bigger edge maybe?

BASHMAN? Am I wrong or missing something?

[BASHMAN]

Well, what is his biggest power- if he uses that to somehow stunt healing, it would be at the same level. So if he has Super Speed 5 for instance (just an example) he could say "my super fast metabolism allows me to recover quickly" to get Healing 5. If he has Armor 3 he could say "My super-tough skin is a lot tougher than it looks!" and get Healing 3.

[therealtony]

He does have Super Speed 3
