Re: General Chat
Flurry of blows explicitly says it stacks with trained by a master in martial arts

quote:
Those with Trained by a Master or Weapon Master halve the penalty again (drop all fractions)


Note that with extra attack, only three FP need to be burned to pull the stunt off, and one of them is at +4.

Re: General Chat
Lane is out of the medical tent and patched up. He's meditated on his losses and his fundamentals and is ready to fight in Round 3! Who wants to fight him?

I'd guess, Mu Kao, Pingbi or Baogang?


I worked this up too:

Re: General Chat
I mean to make some minor changes to Whisper, but no time to do it yet.  I'll take the next round.

Re: General Chat
Didn't Lane and Whisper already fight? Also wanna get a crack at actually testing Baogang in a scenario where nearly three crits in a row don't just insta-beat him.

We could fight again.  I'd like to see how well Master Mu does when two crits in row don't wipe out his foe.

Does anybody else want to join the fight between Cowboys (or Cowgirls) and Indians over at the Cowboys and Indians thread?

I retired Pingbi. He lacks the ability to deal damage, and he is very difficult to hurt, which makes him tedious to play and play against. There is a change that would make him viable as a characters, but it involves swapping his karate(12) with his Judo (18) and his arm lock with kicking. That's an exceptional change, and would probably involve reworking his disadvantages as well. It wouldn't be the same character. He would my #1 pick for beating Demchug though. Pingbi had an effective 20 against Kiai.

That sounds good.  I may rustle something up and get in there. Do we need more cowpokes or indians?

Re: General Chat
I probably don't have the time for Cowboys and Indians, although the interest is there.  Still need to get to the Knight and Dragon thread, which I hope to work on soon.  Looking like I'll get DF for Christmas...

While it would be okay for someone to join me on the Indian side, it is not necessary. I'd prefer if the other players go for Cowboys/Cowgirls to fight my Indian girls. The scenario will be pretty straightforward to avoid having to use a map.

Re: General Chat
Your ruthers are my druthers.

I'll work up a cowpuncher and we'll see what's up.

I'm about halfway through the character.  I'll have to check through my book when I get home.

Re: General Chat
I couldn't find the template for the cowboys anywhere. I made a character using what Derrick put into the thread.

Derrick if you'll check that when you get a chance and let me know if it's kosher, that would be great.  I added it to my post on the Final Character thread.

Looks good to me (although Derrick has the last word on that of course), but the rifle you picked it a bit too modern. Assume the fight happens in the 1870s.

Cowboys are a constructed template: they are built on the Basic Action Template from Action 4, with no disadvantages, the cowboy package, a weapons package, and 10 extra points. Comanche have two of what I call "terrain" packages and a "package" of 25 points in combat skills.

I posted the basic template and packages in a private message to everyone who had expressed interest at the time. If you can't find a template, feel free to ask me.

The riffle is indeed too modern: its TL6. Some TL6 stuff shows up in the old west, but not at the same time as Amerindian conflicts. We don't have a specific date, but 1894 is almost certainly too late. perhaps you wanted the Winchester 1873?

Re: General Chat
I forgot about the ACTION books.  I managed to find a pdf so I'll flip through that.

Good catches. I wasn't sure what period of the west we were in.  I'll check out and swap the rifle. And I may have to check the date on the pistol as well.  I think everything else should be to spec.


So what year can I go to for the weapons? 1875? Just want to narrow it down.

Re: General Chat
Keep it to weapons with TL 5 please. That technically means up to 1880, but I suspect the book only gives you up to 1875. The pistol is 1873, so its legal.

Re: General Chat
Two things:

1 - When I made the Cowboys I used the Perk Early Adopter to ensure the Rifleman had his 'signature' rifle, the Winchester M1873.  If that's unnecessary I'll be happy to shift that point elsewhere.

2 - Today Master Mu shows why All Out Attack can be a bad option*.  But even so, if I'd rolled poorly†, it would now be Demchug raking at eyes and beating up Mu.


I know why Nicole used it: Bonus to Kiai‡ and to close the distance§.



*  I've just gotten lucky with his uses.

†  Like if he'd critically wiffed those kicks or fell victim to the Kiais.

‡  Which has it's value.  And don't feel bad Nicole, I forgot about the Rule of 16 as well (and I run games).

§  For future note, in games that allow 'all' the Options from Martial Arts, you can Move and Attack and use Heroic Charge to ignore the skill penalty and cap.  You do still lose a Defense, but which one depends on what flavor of attack you made.  Martial Arts pg 107.  Use an arm in the attack, can't Parry or Block using that arm, used any other body part (like your mouth), can't Dodge.

Re: General Chat
Yes, the early adopter perk is unnessary. Go ahead and move it.

The Demchug and Master Mu fight has seen some nice swingy rolls, and its been very fun to watch!

Also, Calling him Master Moo has me thinking of new titles for our enormous friend.
