Yeah, we can translate 5 advantage to 2 boosts on a social check, plus heal 1 strain for you. That's a lot of advantage!OOC:

Hank's approach seems to have caught the Pantones' attention; the one in the car's eyes widen, and one of the aerosol-toting women snaps her fingers repeatedly in appreciation. The guy Hank aimed for, though, dodges just in time to avoid the knee strike.

Viewing the situation as a bit too chaotic what with the parkour, teenagers, car, and lack of vision. With this in mind Red tries to turn down the heat, leaping onto the car hood. "Could we please talk a little more first? I think we got off on the wrong foot, We're not bad people, honest!"

Let's count that as 2 strain to the aerosol-toting group. This is way off book, but it seems that social checks like this maybe do strain "damage" like attacks; the fact that they are opposed (and have red dice) makes up for the fact that the enemies' Defense and Soak don't apply.1 Threat = Red's taken the attention away from the two guys who attacked! She's now engaged with the driver.

"If you're too busy fighting you waste time and can't find your leader now can you..." Max chides suddenly lower his body and rushed up the stopped car unto the car roof in an attempt to take down the driver by spearing him off the roof and tumbling down the back of the car for a rough and tumble.

Let me know what I need to roll to attempt Takedown.Feb 21, 2020 7:18 pm
OOC:
Ooh! We have a grapple!So, it'll take you two maneuvers to engage him (1 to climb onto the car, a second to engage), so Max suffers 2 strain. Next, make an opposed Brawl (Grappling) check: RPP. He has Defense 1, so 1 setback. If you succeed, you can use your Takedown weapon as advertised:
[ +- ] Takedown
If a takedown attack is successful, it automatically activates the Ensnare 1 weapon quality without spending any Advantage. Further, if the attacker does not have the Advantage necessary to activate the Knockdown weapon quality, they may delay dealing damage by one round, and bank any excess Advantage for their next attempt. On their next turn, assuming the target hasn’t successfully escaped the grapple, the attacker may make another takedown attempt. After tabulating the check results, if the attack is a success, they may choose to add the banked Advantage to activate the Knockdown weapon quality, or bank more Advantage. If the Knockdown weapon quality is activated, then damage is calculated from the results of the most recent check.

You could also use it to gain hold of one of his limbs, thereby depriving him of his Melee Defense for one round.Also remember that Takedown is Exhausting 2, meaning it costs 2 strain to use it.

Seeing the other Pantones move in on Max, Hank turns back to the group in front of him. "Boy, you guys really can't take a hint, can you? Gonna have to teach you some manners!"
He whips the chain out from around his neck and tries to yank an opponent into his rising knee, but only succeeds in trading places with him.
Boy, I'm getting good at this all bark no bite business. I'll heal the two strain I just took, then can I give boosts to the next two PCs?
If not, I'll give one to the next PC and heal 3 strain.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to violate the Geneva Convention?" Marv launches himself at the aerosol spraying Pantones, leading with his knee.

It looks like there is basically no time when I'd use brass knuckles over knee. Am I reading that wrong and would I be able to apply it's bonus if ai used, say, jab (not currently learned)?Last edited February 22, 2020 5:03 pm

I think that's right. The advantage of the "natural weapons" you purchase with XP is that they don't require any equipment and can't be lost or stolen. It's a way to make it thematic for a bunch of unarmed fighters to take on thugs who use bats, knives, cattle prods, and so on. In other words, you're supposed to lean into your brawler side. Your fists are your weapons. :)Standard PP difficulty for the aerosol group.

Distracted as they are, the nearest spray-can Pantone doesn't even see Marv coming. He kicks her can out of her hand and then follows with a solid knee to the kidneys. She falls to the dust. He then sweeps his leg around and connects with another girl, but she stays standing for now.

"Did you just use air freshener, in a fight? What the hell is wrong with you!" Maxwell states through thinned eyes as he spits, "Tyler Imma burrow your shirt." he mutters and lunges trying to take him down again while attempting to wipe his face of the wetness now on it.

Max wipes enough sticky, sweet-smelling residue from his face to allow him to make another lunge at the leather-jacket-wearing driver. With an arm pinned already, Max manages to get the man into a headlock. The guy gets his arm free, but Max finds himself in control of the other fighter to some degree, opening the door for some strikes or another takedown attempt.
OOC:
2 Strain for the takedown attempt (Fatiguing 2 quality). 1 Threat will bump that to 3 strain on Max. But you're in an advantageous position over him now, which grants you two boosts on your next attack (which can be a grapple or a strike, your choice).

With Red on the hood of the car, a teenager with a bat moves to close with the intruder and takes a swing at her legs. She feels the metal bat connect with her shin, sending a jolt of pain all the way up her spine. Red loses her balance with the blow, and finds herself knocked to her back on the hood of the car!
