Sorry to interrupt - just curious: there have been a couple times you've had tie rolls go to Feyd instead of the heroes. Is that deliberate?

Really? I though the defender got the preference in those cases?
Your turn steeve since you deflected his grab.

Nope, on page 16, the "Golden Rule" says that ties go to whoever is acting most heroic. It also says you always round in the heroes favor (which I'd forgotten until I just reread it). I was just curious if that had been missed, or was deliberately being changed.

I will be honest I was going by this

If you roll Defense, and you beat the opponent’s attack roll, the attack missed

So in my head it means if there attack is 17 I have to roll 18.

But your golden rule would indicate 17 would also class as beating the attack roll as ties go to the hero.

With a slight side step and a raise of the sword Musha brushes aside Feyds attack, he taps him across the back of the skull with the katanas scabbard as Feyds momentum carries him pass and crashing into the car. “If you do not control your anger, it will control you”.

"I will show you anger you little worm" Feyd screams.

Musha closes for another attack looking for some weakness.

Usually in most of rpgs ties go to the defender.I missed that Golden Rule.
defense rolls
[bash="Defense-Attack"]3,0,-21 = 1016219445 = Fixed[/bash]
[bash="soak-Damage"]8,0,-60 = 1340849970 = Fixed[/bash]
"Don't you get it? I'm invincible!" he yells ,dodging the blade.
Actually, there's several tactics that Feyd could use. But for now I prefer to go with the flow.We're not hurting each other, those rounds are useless, but fun nevertheless. We'll turn up the heat contingent on Feyd's self-control

//He's right.Feyd is still a bit clumsy but instoppable...I must try something and take some risks//Megan thinks.
As the paragon get ready for a new strike aimed at the emerald swordsman, LightBringer dashes at the vanquisher.
Pointing her hand at the tyrant's face she yells "Let's put that invincibility to the test".

I guess I wished for it.It's Going To Get Nasty. An immediate wrestling maneuver with a powerhouse.
The vanquisher evades the beam at the last moment
"Come to me pretty bird!"Feyd bellows and jump in the air, LightBringer in his clutches.
immediate wrestling maneuver...'Wield Them'

Wield Them: Like they were a weapon! Roll a regular attack
against a target. If it hits, roll Brawn+1 as damage multiplier
against the target. The “weapon” takes the same damage.
Both soak normally.

He falls at Musha swinging a stunned LightBringer at him in an overhead smash.
"Taste my wrath both of you!"Feyd roars.
Nasty indead...for the weapon at least

Rolling to the side he see the poor girl smashed into the concrete

Please a good roll....

You used a deflect on a 'human weapon'? That hurt you know^^

bigsteveuk · Post by **bigsteveuk** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 6:46 am

I was having a moral quandary over this.

But will it hurt either of us anymore than if he hits me with her?

If I deflect, she takes 54.

If I dont' we both take 54 there is no advtange to letting myself be struck. If I could soften the blow and take more dmg, I probably would.

Moral quandary, precisely^^ That was the idea^^ You should write that in your post. Musha 's mind is quite impervious for the readers if you don't write it down^^ That's also part of the fun

edit I'll be a little offline this afternoon but I'll post as often as I can

First the rolls
[bash="LightBringer soak"]1,0,-54 = 976470669 = Fixed[/bash]
[bash="Feyd Defense"]3 = 441180797 = Fixed[/bash]
[bash="Feyd soak"]8 = 2025494495 = Fixed[/bash]
Ouch! the belle takes a beating.And Feyd soaks again.
As the samurai dodges and slashes with the speed of light, Feyd slams a police car with LightBringer as a sledgehammer.
The impact is dreadful for the hero. She screams in pain. and fight to remain conscious.
As Feyd , ready for a new strike, pulls LightBringer by a leg out of the wrecked car he notices another umpteenth rip in his ruined toga.
"It seems I lead the score swordsman."He nods.
"I loved how you deflected my blow without an hesitation. Tough! ...Maybe we have more in common that I thought "
He bursts in laughter.
I know, he 's soooo evil...

Volsung · Post by **Volsung** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 9:11 am

Feyd raises LightBringer dangling by one leg.
"Wakie! Wakie! Is there some fire left in you?"
"I'm not done yet!"LightBringer bellows suddenly.
[bash="LightBringer Daze attack"]3 = 1198538992 = Fixed[/bash]
[bash="Feyd defense"]2 = 1195773774 = Fixed[/bash]
Eat this! You b*st*rd!
LightBringer slaps both hand on Feyd's face and a blinding spark explodes.
I guess he releases her with such a success. Frankly BigSteeve he won't be able to dodge that's the moment to deal him maximum damage ! What about some team-up attack ?
Feyd let go LightBringer who falls heavily on the ground.
The tyrant howls in pain ,hiding his face with both hands.
"My eyes! What have you done b*tch?!"

The shame of what had just happened shock Musha and he fought to keep the desperation at bay, not only had he put himself before others, but even with his skill he could not penetrate this demons defenses. Yet in his despair a shining light appeared a vision of hope and for a brief second Musha is not in modern downtown, but in Ancient Japan looking through the eyes of one of his ancestors.

For 3 days and 3 nights Ryo fought the evil dragon Yofune Nushi but the Jade Dragon blade could not penetrate the hide of the foul beast. Ryo prayed to the heavens and his prayers were answered in the shape of Amaterasu the sun goddess. Her blazing light touched his blade which then struck the beast sending it reeling back to the underworld.

Musha realized what must be done “Goddess” he calls to girl “focus your wrath upon my blade and together let us send this demon back to the underworld”

I will do a called shot and spend a faint point to get attack weak spot. I wll put all my variable in the to hit. You put it all in for the dmg (please roll high)
