OOC: Power Workshop

Jul 8, 2020 2:35 am
If you have questions about your characters' powers you can ask here.
Some disclosure on how I randomize characters powers:

I have four categories represented by the four suits.
Clubs: Elemental powers and Magic
Hearts: Defense, Speed, Luck, and powers that affect ones Abilities such as Strengthening.
Diamonds: Powers that are derived from items like Nel's Magic armor and Anthony's Magic bag.
Spades: Supernatural powers like the ability to fly, teleport, read minds, and even summon.

Thematic powers are not coincidental. I base them on the three cards you got or your back stories.
CARD SYSTEM

You may receive cards when you finish quest. Cards can be used to gain skills, advantages, or powers

1 Card: Random Power or Advantage
2 Cards: Alter a power
3 Cards: Design a power

Powers and advantages gained still need power points otherwise it is at Rank 0 and unusable.

Question: So the Area Delay spell affects all including objects in the vicinity and I have to re-cast it every turn using a standard action right? Will anyone entering the area be affected by the spell or only those in the area when the spell was cast are affected?

Question: How many hits do we take before we deads lol or how many hits do we need to kill the monstahs? Aside from Nel we're all Zero Toughness?

1. The burst effect affects the immediate area so anyone entering the area are unaffected by your time manipulation.
Daze prevents the use of move action but will allow a subject to use standard action to move.
Stun prevents a subject from doing any action.
Paralysis makes one defenseless, immobile, and physically stunned.
Effect remains until the start of your next turn. It is a low tier time magic but hey you get to hold off a lot of enemies.

2. If a damaging effect hits: (Roll Toughness) vs DMG Rank +15, I won't tell you how many hits but I will update their conditions. Check page 189.

It goes like:
Lady Archer shoots an arrow at Blue goblin A. It hits.
Blue Goblin (Roll Toughness) vs (15+Dex+Rank)
Blue Goblin rolled a 7, Takes two degrees of failure causing it to lose 2 toughness and is dazed until end of next turn.
If it gets to four degrees, then Blue Goblin gets incapacitated.

Are the skill available to level up only the one we rolled at the start?

How could Sho unlock the perception skill?
Jul 18, 2020 2:43 pm
@Sho

For running all around and lifting Anthony: you gain Athletics skill
For actively listening: you gain Perception skill
For throwing stones at enemies: you gain Ranged Combat: Throw Stone skill

(I should've awarded this earlier, well I plan to award learnable skills every after accomplished mission)

Cool

How much point does it cost to raise power level?

Could the alter power remove the 1/day limit on a power or the step requirement for bunny hop?

Using the cards and 1 power point you can halve the requirement steps rounded down. Until you only need one step to activate it. The feet must tap the ground for you to teleport, that's the limit of that teleportation ability.

As for 1/day limit. You can use two cards and 1 power point to increase the number of times it can be used per day by one.

5 points per rank for that Chrono Staff? I'll take it.
One point on Haste Shoes
and then one point for two skill points on... did Anthony get learnable skills?

Ok, I'll assign one point for both tretment and stealth then.

That makes (7/7)
Chrono Staff Rank 1 (5 pts)
Haste Shoes Rank 1 (1 pt)

So i'll always need a move action to prep for the bunny hop even if I get it down to 1 step?

I'll start with one random power

When you get to one step you just need to be able to move your legs and make it hit a surface. So if both your legs are cut off or you're in mid air, you can't bunny hop. No rabbit hole, no teleport. Once you reach this you'll only need your free action to use it. At 2 steps you still need the move action.

Can you reveal your card? Click the eye on the corner of the card.

Interesting, bunny hop with only a single move action would be incredible (even if its a long way off :P)

*Done

Another question, is using those cards and point the 1/day menu usage or is it something different?

No, using the cards can be accessed in the menu in your head. The 1/day menu usage is something like if you want to show your stats to others or show your powers to someone else, the hologram menu can be summoned once a day. You can use the cards and points anytime you want and store them, but you need to use a standard action for it if you are allocating it while in battle. Right now it is a free action cause you have time and the group's not under pressure.
