Yeah, too bad no one gets Deathblow early on. I know Ninjas and Supers Spies does a Critical on an attack from behind for many of the martial arts forms.

Auto (i. e. Death blow on nat 20) death blow yes. But if a character can make a called death blow depends on the GM, who may or may not allow a called shot/attack to be a death blow.
Of course we have already used ‘called death blows’ in game when we were trying to kill vampires.

I actually have it already. Crit death blow on a Nat 20 at level 3. I'm at least 5 maybe 6 I gotta check. And I get actual death blow at 9. This message was last edited by the player at 23:19, Thu 31 May 2018.

What H2H are you rocking?
IMO if you make a called shot to say ‘chop off a head’ that’s pretty much a death blow.

There is an optional rule that says a blow to the head does double HP damage. I forget where it is, but I remember reading it.

Yes it was mentioned a long time ago perhaps in the original Sourcebook 1

Sourcebook 1 I believe is correct Polk.
Hand to Hand:Bladesinging is the title I am using however the actual stats are for Hand to Hand:Zanji Ryo-Ken or some Japanese sounding version. Hence the Katana references for my psi-sword from the GM. The true Samurai Hand to Hand from W.B. 8:Japan. It is nasty. Only seen one that comes close and it was a fan one. I have used it for my super elite training cadres in my Atlantis Rifts Campaigns before. It is beyond lethal. The number of hand to hand attacks by my level is just disgusting. I waste at least two or three hand to hand per melee on purpose to keep things somewhat fair.

Zanji-Shinjinken Ryu. You should see it in Ninjas and Super Spies, with Martial Arts Powers.

Question, is the forcefield that Ethan put up separating the bystanders from the party? I know he didn't get the barrier up in time to prevent the doors from being closed but he still made the barrier to keep bystanders from getting caught up in any sort of violence with the party.
I just need to know if he successfully accomplished that much at least.

Telepathy allows the user to scan surface thoughts, so Na-Wa should be able to respond.

Yeah it is a Rune sword, and basically Na-Wa's 'smarter half' since the sword has a higher IQ (14), then Na-Wa (07).
When Na-Wa acquired 'Bruce the Rune Sword' in another game here on RPOL the notes said it preferred the name Whon-Ecke. So if you see Na-Wa calling the sword something other then its official name that is why.

Re: There I changed the Title
no, that's fine. for some reason, i couldn't remember for sure if it was a sword, or axe, or dagger, or some other weapon. i thought it was a sword, but just wanted to double check. thanks.

Yes, that wall is in place. A few of the dwarves are curiously poking at it.
Guys, this will almost certainly be another slow week of responses from me. I'm taking a 40 hour class starting tomorrow morning above and beyond my normal 40 work week.

wow. good luck with that.
on that note, i've just closed on a new house. so i'll be moving bit by bit over the next few weeks. i don't think it should cause a problem, but who knows. i'll try to keep you updated in case it does. at some point, i'll have to shut off internet at home to move it to the new home.

Well, I am returning after a hiatus of nearly three weeks for this long-suffering game. It was entirely my fault. I will push forward tonight, but I would appreciate a quick roll call. If you read this message and are still in this game, please respond.

I think RPOL is trying to tell you to start another OOC thread though.
