Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Last night's "bad night" has turned into a fullblown meltdown/crisis today. I really don't want to drop out of this game, but it's going to be awhile before I'm going to be capable of keeping up with the game reliably-- I know we're already down a player, but is it possible to grant me a hiatus and write me back in when my brain is firing on a few more cylinders?

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Yes, I think we can do that. I hope everything works out for you.
Plaids, Kareeah_Indaga, how are the two of you allocating your dice?
For Sleeper, it could be 12/D8 or 10/D10.
For Hercules, it could be 14/D8/D8/D6 or 12/D10/D8/D6 or 6/D10/D10/D8. And I also need to know how you're distributing the effect dice between the three targets.A System-Independent Creative Community:

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
A hiatus is fine, take as much time as you need. Please send me a direct message since I think the e-mail notifications for posts on subscribed threads seem to be slowing down.
As for dice allocation I will go 14/D8/D8/D6 with a D8 for Mysterio, D8 for Shocker, and D6 for Rhino.Last edited by Plaids; 2024-04-25 at 11:35 PM.

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Ok. That's a D6 or a D8 if you can stunt it off of one of your power sets. If Electro had rolled a 1 on one of his dice (he didn't), a stunt would get you a D10.
Is this something we can do too, or is it specific to Watcher characters? How does it work?
But I could have said, "Mysterio creates a D10 Illusionary Rhino asset" and then had Rhino use it.A System-Independent Creative Community:

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Actually on reflection it’s not going to make a difference, so never mind. I’d need to somehow roll a nine on the d8 to beat Electro’s roll, and that means Sleeper is out of the fight. 💀
Sorry Plaids! Herc is going to have to win this one on his own!
Thank you for clarifying!

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Did Sleeper really have D12 physical stress already? I thought he was quite a bit lower than that.
If you do wish to avoid the damage, as an alternative to spending a plot point to add a D6 or D8 to your dice pool (which I think is normally supposed to happen before you roll the dice), you can spend a plot point to add a third die to your total, and you can do this after you see the result. So in this case, you could spend a point to add the 9, 7, and 6 together, and that would be more than enough to beat Electro's 17.
Another option would be to spend a plot point to turn the D8 physical stress you are taking into D8 mental or emotional stress instead. I don't know why you would do that instead of adding an extra die to your total and avoiding it all together, but it is a way that you can spend plot points.A System-Independent Creative Community:

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
I think Hercules resisted Rhino's charge. I think I will try to subdue shocker since he seems to be able to cause more collateral damage than mysterio and lacks the toughness of Rhino.
