Happy to go for the big dramatic post rather than grinding out game play for the inevitable.

Sure.

I have no opinion, and will post similarly in either case.

Ditto.

I'm fine either way... I can RP it all out or I'm just as fine with a GM wrap up post.

I have returned, my friends.

Am I correct in believing that the combat is done?  That Eddy went down, but is up again now?  And the mission is effectively done?

Yes I think so. Welcome back.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Or for more detail; Poco was dropped to zero, the Soviets finally surrendered with the defeat of the remaining soldiers, Poco was revived with a CRIT potion, and I will be doing a wrap-up of events in the Antarctic within the next day.

I am still working on composing the wrap-up post but I will post a couple things here that should make people happy:

First is the XP award for this mission; 1230 xp per person for villains defeated plus an additional 1000 xp per person for taking out a potentially world-altering bioweapon. That will put everyone well into 3rd level.

Also I never did Charisma rolls for level 2 so everyone should roll d20 vs. their current Charisma; roll above and get 1 point of Charisma. After making the 1st roll make another d20 roll for level 3. Likely as not everyone will get at least 1 point of Charisma from this.

Oh, goody. New toys.

Now to figure out where to put that training.

Yes, Eddy makes level 3.

- rolled 13 using 1d20 with rolls of 13. Charisma increase roll: be Char 10: lvl 2.
- rolled 13 using 1d20 with rolls of 13. Charisma increase roll: be Char 11: lvl 3.
... with two increases to Charisma.

And I'll take as Development, a +1 damage with his claws, please.  (Nicè and simple)

Nightmare has leveled up, and decided to train Strength next level.
Previous level was listed as training "Combat Accuracy" and I added a +1 Combat Accuracy to the character sheet in the same spot as the mental and physical accuracy.
I rolled for Charisma even though it was impossible to beat his current charisma on a d20.

11:41, Today: Vosper rolled 18,6 using d20,d20 with rolls of 18,6. Charisma saves (13). Charisma boosted to 14.

As training, I'd set it to HTH accuracy a while back, and will continue with that.  Given my luck with the dice server, and the fact her stats are all at the low end of their brackets, it only makes sense.

'Mare has Char 20 ?!?

Holy Nightmare, Batman.

In reply to Poco Tehuantl (msg # 960):

Is combat accuracy for all attacks or just one?

15:21, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17. Charisma Save to increase - 2nd level.

15:22, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 19 using 1d20 with rolls of 19. Charisma Save to increase - 3rd level.

So... +2 Charisma for Sunphoenix

I guess.. I'll go with a +1 Strength for the level training.. for the increase in hit points.  I'll have a full 2 invention points to spend at this level anyways.  For my Phoenix Aura Flight stunt... assuming I can make the roll {annoying that both my invention rolls for last level worked... but I only got to use one of them... ah well}.

Did Sunpheonix start at 0 xp? Or did he start with xp?

In reply to The Inhuman (msg # 963):

As far as I know... Sword started me at the same XP as the average of the team.

I start everyone at the same XP, just to make it simpler for me.

In reply to Sword of Damocles (msg # 965):

I started at 0 so how much do I have

Can someone explain to me what exactly the Charisma reaction modifiers mean in the core rules?  In my games.. I don't use the charisma reaction chart in the core book but the Charisma Counts modified chart out of Dragon Magazine.  The chart seems to make more sense.  But since your using the core rules.. I guess I have to understand why the higher your charisma is.. the more negative a reaction you have from neutral poeple.. {shakes head}.  Never understood that... how are you using the Charisma reaction chart in your game Sword?

You didn't start at zero. When you joined the game I put you at exactly the same XP as the original PCs.

Yeah it is somewhat silly the way it is written.

I don't have the Dragon magazine with that article handy so I would say the modifier for Neutrals depends on whether the person is a hero or villain and also what they are doing. So if you are a hero the modifier for a Charisma above 11 is a bonus to the reaction roll *unless* you are doing something frightening/intimidating/obviously illegal in which case it is reasonable for it to be a penalty to the roll. Villains usually have a penalty to their reaction roll with neutrals unless they are not known to be a villain I would think...

In reply to Sword of Damocles (msg # 968):

How much xp do we all have?

Everyone should have 5980 XP.
