    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?

    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 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.

    12/D8, but Chemicals is stepping up the effect die to D10 unless I’m misunderstanding the rules.

    I would like to spend a Plot Point to add a die to Sleeper’s resist roll vs. Electro.

    Also question for future reference:

    Help from Mysterio: Your Eyes Deceive You D10: [roll3]

    Is this something we can do too, or is it specific to Watcher characters? How does it work?

    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.

    This is Mysterio generating an asset which is then used by Rhino. Watcher characters don't roll against the doom pool to create assets, they just hand over a relevant die as their action (I think this is because a) the doom pool is sort of on their side, and b) to make their turns go faster). You guys could create an asset with one roll and then use it on the next, and if you want to stagger your turns to do that, that's fine with me, but it does work a little different to Watcher characters.

    But I could have said, "Mysterio creates a D10 Illusionary Rhino asset" and then had Rhino use it.

    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!

    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.

    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.
