My flexibility is 2@1. What is the name of this world? kyler on "Eli's game: The Final Hour" http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-game-the-final-hour/page/12#post-32489 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 09:23:36 +0000 kyler 32489@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ I need to ask if you would really like to do this after pointing out that you only get 8 style attacks, compared to Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu's six; if you were to use regular sword attacks, you would have twelve, but it looks like you're using other attacks. Looks like your math adds up for a multiplier of 8, though, so I have to assume you knew all that. The roll is (91); that's going to be a failure, but 24 14 25 not a botch. Still, I'll give you the modifiers from the style you were already in. 14 25 11 = 50 for the defenses, (35) (52), the one worked for a decent sitmod, the other failed. Initiative, (72) (34), gotta figure if that's a hit for them, but at any rate, it'd be a better miss, so not really. 21 is the first attack, (does math) looking like bad news at three intensities. The next is fourteen, and you're out of there. § You yell to your comrades and rush into the room. You attempt to transition from the one style to other, but fail to catch the movements, so keep your first style. You begin moving to avoid their attacks, but they move before you have a chance to attack them, surrounding you, punching, ripping, and biting your flesh. Then, abruptly, it's over; as you black out, you feel as if you hear a voice in your head telling you, "You put up quite a fight for a human, but this body is mine, now." Then, darkness. § Need your current stage, which I believe is two, and your flexibility.

If you step back or into the room, they will be able to attack more than one at a time, but your companions may be able to join the fray.

Four down, four dead. The next one (43) manages to hurt you worse than you've been hit yet, (68) tripping slightly over one of the bodies, reaching around, and dragging its nails across the back of your left thigh. (5 intensities of damage, you are worn down to half your reserve.) You feel the warm flow of blood on the back of your leg. Ashley screams. You retaliate, lashing out before it has time to regain its balance, (45) striking it with another Ryu Kan Sen. (3 2 1 = 6) The body bursts, and the flying limbs knock down 5. As so many are down (9 down, 5 dead), it's easier to get a more accurate count of those standing; there are six standing and nine regaining their feet. One of the six steps up to the plate; your two swings (73 and 79) both miss him narrowly, but thankfully, his attempt (67) also misses. New round. Continue with the same maneuvers? You have ten intensities remaining going into round three, and there are fifteen of them.

Your first attempt (95)is a miss, but you manage to try again before he attacks, (09) killing him and sending him flying back into the room.

(70 for style) (61 initiative for you, 41 for him) The room is full of them; the black skinned ghouls, too many to count at a glance but more than a dozen. The first dives for you, and you miss him in your haste (86). Your next swing is also a miss (77), and the third (82) is too low to connect. He (32) strikes you solidly (09) with his fist on the front thumb side of your left arm. (4 intensities) That's going to leave a mark. (86) Your next swing misses, (14) but the fifth swing finally finds him, (91) lacerating through his kidney from the left and coming out his navel after severing his spine, putting him out of commission. The next comes on his heels, and slice number six (09) cuts (33) through the exterior right side of his right elbow, severing it before cleaving into his skull and coming out clean halfway through his face. Two down, but the punch of the third stepping up (10) catches you off guard (03) in your throat. (One intensity of damage) You involuntarily gag a moment, but recover yourself. That concludes round one. Special actions for next round? You're down a quarter, they are not quite.

This door is closer to the center of the complex. It doesn't have a handle; it seems that swiping the card will open the door.

I'm fairly sure that you don't get both a DC bonus for the style and the weapon, at any rate, but I'm absolutely sure that with a weapon-utilizing style and not a weapon-dependent one you calculate the number of attacks seperately and are restricted by the maximum number of attacks for each; thus if you had 4 attacks with the sword and 8 with the style, you would have 8 attacks four of which could use the sword. § There are filing cabinets, computers, printers, and a copy machine.

Still, At least it didn't explode when I hit it." What else is in the room? OOC: If I am remembering this correctly, All martial arts styles grant A DC bonus to all bod based attacks within the style. Being professional in the style grants another DC bonus. I think you only apply the bonus from the martial arts SAL or the martial arts weapons SAL to the attack, not both at the same time. I think quality weapons only give a Damage Point Bonus between +1 and +10. kyler on "Eli's game: The Final Hour" http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-game-the-final-hour/page/12#post-32214 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:21:08 +0000 kyler 32214@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ There should be one for the quality weapon, too, if it doesn't say it, add that. I don't recall gaining two dc bonuses for having a professional SAL in the style and don't see an indication of that in the book, but I will give you one for professional SAL with the weapon. 6 attacks, yes, that makes more sense; as the style is weapon-dependent, they're all able to be used with the sword, regardless of the SAL with it. (what is the SAL with it? 3@1, right?) That should bring us to lethal base +4 dc +30 for style +6 for weapon +1 for 3@1 SAL style +1 for 3@1 SAL sword against a 2@ damage value comes to annihilating damage category +48 for damage, so the roll is effectively ... 60 for damage calculations, divided by two is death. § Your cut comes before his swing, and you seperate his body into two halves, which both fall on the floor unmoving. Stojan says to you, "You just killed one of them, one of the strong ones, in one swing." He seems beyond impressed, even amazed. § It isn't the strongest thing in this world, but it's still a tough opponent. Congratulations. And I know what your two next worlds are. Let's see, a roll of 1 +4dc -2dc is annihilating +38 is 39/3 casting out the remainder(which isn't here) is 13 intensities of damage at least to an individual with a 3@ damage value and no other defenses.
