Sample Postings of Actions VS Counter actions.
REMINDER / Refresher FOR all Players,
Since there are a few boards up i wanted to refresh this for everyone
Ok guy’s you can write what you wish for your character and their actions but theirs ONLY, you are never to assume what others do or how they react Especially for Battles.
So one example is: (you can post in 1st person or 3rd person I don’t mind)
Looking at the monster I plant my feet, ready to leap at it, Hoping the force of my blow will penetrate the field in front of it.
William bends his knees, the ground below him starts to rumble slightly as the force under him starts to generate. With a loud Boom He launches head onto the monster his fist extended in front of him.
This is where the action would end.
I will post the result of the action effect and a counter actions
William’s Fist connects with the field around the monster. The impact sends a shockwave through the area sending a small crowd of gathered people flying back into the glass windows and against the brick walls. His fist shatters the field surrounding the creature and connects right on it’s jaw sending slimy saliva mixed with blood to spew to the monsters right side splattering against the wall.
The creature roars and as William’s momentum carries him over the monster one of its Tendrils grabs Williams foot, it squeezes the foot and prepares to launch William in the opposite direction…
This would allow you a chance to post up what you could try to do to avoid the creatures counter action.
The momentum shift is to quick for William and he knows the impact will be harsh. He braces for the hit by trying to prep his laser gun for the next attack.
Another Example if another person is around DO NOT ASSUME ACTIONS
So is if your character was to “automatically” grab someone to prevent them from leaving a room or doing an action. Please specify that you are attempting to grab but do not finish the action and continue it with other actions assuming the acquired result
for example : you grab Rogue’s bare arm, spin her around and Slap her in the face.
I think this example clearly demonstrate how many possible outcomes would or could happen to your character.
If you have any questions please let me know.
