Craig, you need to put Willa on the battle map.  I'd hate to plunk you down somewhere you'd resent me for doing so.

@Willa: So I'm going after Auto 8. Do you have any strategy ideas?

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

Not really, sorry.  Generally its good to try and hit everything once to weed out any minions, if there are any.  Unfortunately, I don't have any electrical attacks and it is a shame that Iron Jubei could not have been positioned 1 square further up, to cause a choke point.

Weakened is going to hinder us a bit as well. Given I forgot to make sure I took a moment to heal Jubei, I'm going to be hoping he doesn't get knocked out this turn.

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

Then this might be a good time to ask:  How does my racial 'Taking Advantage' work?  It says my target must be bloodied and one of the abilities is 'spend a healing surge.'  Does this mean I get to use a surge, or my target does?  Thanks, :)

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

You spend it, as it doesn't specify that the target spend a surge. Though yes the writing on it could be improved to saying 'you spend a healing surge'.

Actually that's an interesting point. It could very well mean the target or you spend a surge depending on flavour. I would imagine given the other options specify the target and that one doesn't it might be you but...

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

Hmm should clarify that then, simply you can heal by your healing surge value.

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

I think the weapons was our most successful battle. This one had a rough start.

Also modified my post, forgot to account for knowledge check results.

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

Triggered/Interrupt abilities are glaringly overlooked element of combat in our game and the present system I've been employing for dealing with that has been causing way more paperwork than necessary so I am going to propose a new system and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

I'll call these Reaction Posts.  They'll come usually after one of you have posted your action for a turn and a relevant bit of information has happened, like an enemy died or an ability triggered, etc.  I'll also try to update the combat map appropriately for enemies and npcs should things happen on your turns in relation to them.

It's not going to erase the need for you guys to post contingencies in some of your posts as I know many of you can't reply as readily half the time here as I can (one of the few advantages of being your own boss).

So tell me what y'all think?

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

I'm on board with it. It'll make using Shocking Feedback a hell of a lot easier. Not to mention handling Amare later on.

I know :)

Though I'm not sure why you would expect one.  Didn't you just post that we'd be able to make reaction posts once we're given more information?  Or have I misunderstood something again? >.>

Regardless, I think the only reaction available to her at the moment is an Opportunity Attack made using her rod or stone as an improvised weapon.

Oh the reaction posts are for the for the enemies on your turns.  When stuff happens in response to your actions.

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

Thank you so much Willa. Now I get the joy of figuring out how to explain in character that removing surges doesn't cause damage. Without explaining what surges are in a meta sense.

There will be vengeance. :P

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

@Author: Just wondering we have reached a milestone yet (fight with animated weapons, fight with automatons, fight with bots)?  For +1 Action Surge, maybe? Thanks :)

Re: OOC - General Chat 02

The magic weapons and first Autos where one fight. We only rolled initiative once. And the last battle was the second one, so I think we do get one milestone.

Just wanted to check, is our experience updated? I'm assuming you updated it Willa, but assuming is a dangerous thing. So that is why I'm asking.

2 Fights it is :) I've not updated the xp, but I saw that someone else had, since it matches the total in the update.
