@Moyreau, I saw you mention somewhere that Transformations are now 1/day. When we spend Endurance on Drama Dice, is the END recovery also tied to the daycycle, or is it different (slower/faster/other)?

Hey, all… I want to check with anyone who has a better grasp on OVA than I do—which is all of you, of course!

I’m working on a roll table, plus snippets so I can display my intended attack or other ability. For now, here is my roll table:

[ +- ] Attacks’ Flaws and Perks
In parentheses is the endurance cost. And as for the rolls, is the following correct?
• The roll is 2d6 + ATTACK + AGILITY
• I add a d6 for the ACCURATE perk

If so, the table is correct.

And since I wasn’t given a limit of attacks, I thought maybe I could effectively have more accurate versions of the same attacks. So if I check a box, the endurance cost increases by five and I roll an additional die.

Spiffy table! Excellent work!

From that reaction, I guess I didn’t mess up the rules/math.

Actually, the roll is 2d6+Xd6; where X is the value in relevant abilities you got. This game has no numerical modifiers for rolls, just more or less dice for the dice pool.

As for you other question, you mustn't made another version just for adding accurate, instead, you can declare on your action that you'll be adding the extra accuracy.

Oh! No wonder I saw rolls like 12d6…! Okay. That’s an easy fix. So with +4 agility and +2 attack, I roll 8d6 normally.

Oops, actually, attack is a special ability, in that you don't add it to your roll, but it increases your Dx, Damage multiplier. So with attack +1, you'd multiply damage by 2, etc.

Oh! So with non-damaging attacks, I only need +1 attack! Interesting..! (I assume I need a point in attack in order to attack at all, right?)

Levels in Attack can be useful for increasing the duration of Paralysing, or for taking Ineffective to get perks in compensation. I'm not sure Attack is strictly necessary for anything except Paralysing if you do no damage anyway.

It’s a good enough reason to keep the +2 anyway!

I might get 3 rounds from the Firewall of the Wallflower because I have paralyze + continued effect!

I forced myself to replace my sticky-note drawing with a digital drawing before posting. Here’s the color palette I found:

All of her clothing is one color: "fashion fuchsia." Her hair is "fire opal." The red text is roughly the same hue (in Dark Mode), so I’ll use that for her dialogue instead of hot pink.

I like the design. She's quite cute. Opening with a pun is also good style.

Speaking of which, did you take the Cute trait for her?

Yes— Cute! +4

(The book was very clear about the exclamation point.)

Oh dear. Well, you see, my character is extremely fire resistant and also terribly weak to cute things. And has an obsession with collecting princesses. Because she is a dragon, and that is what dragons do. Do you think it will cause problems if Sumeryu is a bit...hands-on? =p

OoC — nope! (as in no problem)

IC — she’s jittery, so there will be an initial jitter, but also no problem.

@BlondeDragonGenie , whatever you have in mind, go for it!

so just a question, does hibana talk at a regular sized person volume and pitch or is teeny tiny high pitch small volume?

I am now reminded of Caravan of Courage.

I would think she’s a soft soprano, but probably adequately audible, following anime logic.

(Definitely, she doesn’t ‘talk’ like the fire-fairy in Caravan of Courage!)
