Alright! I don't have a relevant ability for this, so I'll roll against a rating of 5.

Ouch. I mean, not even for an augment? E. g. Using her good looks on the boothman to cheat or something (of course, if that's according to her personality)

She could, but I feel that'd be against her personality. If she were going to cheat, it'd be for something with more stakes than friendly competition.

The matsuri plot so far sure turned in unexpected ways. I wasn't looking to start a Claude-Homura challenge, and I'm surprised that Homura did this to herself (I could predict Chimera doing something of the sort, but not Homura), especially after realising she has no applicable Abilities. Also did not expect that contest to be defused.

Also, seems we have another candidate. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

OK, discussion time. Given that Resistance is 10M, that means that anyone directly participating in the Group Contest with less than a 10M total rating is skewing the odds in favour of the monster. OTOH, if there is one 'big hitter' (or two), while others are allowed to perform Assist actions instead of fighting directly in the Group Contest, improving the scores of the big hitters, then the odds of scoring an overall victory are improved.

How does the party feel about engaging in such tactics?

Remembering that this resistance is for the monster in a numerical disadvantage of at least 3:1. If that doesn't happen, it will be higher.

I went for it while trying to set up a situation where others might get bonuses. Darn those last minute petalframe calibrations!

How much do I augment for? +5?

Oh sorry, yeah +5. And you're a good candidate for using the bonus created by Chimera (since she mentioned the inflammable part)

Alright, I'll take advantage of the bonus!

Gee, a 16... Tragic!

Can I add a success with a story point?

Hello! I just joined so I will focus on learning the system real fast and making my character sheet pretty. :)

Oh, sure. If you think it is important for her to succeed in this one (oh no, I forgot to explain story points to anyone who didn't check the rules first-hand!!)
Hi there! I'll approve your character, just check your point distribution, I suspect something isn't right. You should have 1 ability at 15 (normally your main keyword) and another at 15 or at +10 if it's a breakout, the rest of them is 10. Then you spend 20 points among them. Also, the main flaw is equal to your highest ability, another flaw equal to your second highest and after that, everything is equal to your lowest one.

Furthermore, if you have any modification to the Steel Lotus petalframe (I presume it by the 'banged up' prefix), you're free to describe what's different about it, or maybe it's just a flavorful customization? At any rate, describing it in a short phrase can yield you some breakouts on it. Also, the petalframe ability starts at 5M, not 10, as normal abilities.

Never mind, I DID mentioned story points... I just forgot.

Alright, I'll spend the story point then.

Also, welcome to the game, handle and Typhoonflame!

Okay, I added where I spent my points to boost some of the abilities, and added a few extra details to the petalframe. My idea is that she's so reckless as a pilot that they eventually just gave her a petalframe that was cheap, hardy, and could function with tons of damage. Like the terminator that loses its legs and still keeps crawling.

Great! We're just waiting for the last player to make their action on this scene, we can introduce yours on the next one.

Cool sheet, by the way.

Not sure if intentionally, but a private one.

Whoops, I think I have it public now. I copied from everyone else. 🧐
