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.

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
He has a d6 Physical from the trap blowing up in his face at the bank. Electro is hitting with a d8, so even if I reduce it with a d10 effect die on the resist that would be a d6, so d6 + d6 = 💀 unless I’m misunderstanding the rules.
Oh cool. I will do that then!
22/d10 Effect die in that case,
D6 Physical damage
D8 Emotional damage
1 Plot Point remaining after adding the extra die to the resist roll.
I agree that would be a weird thing to do in this particular instance, but I will keep that in mind for the future!

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Yup, looks like it. And sounds like a plan.
If you have a type of stress and you take more of that type, then:
If the new stress is higher than the old one, you just have the new one. For example, if you had D6 physical stress and you take D10, you now have D10.
If the new stress is lower or equal, then the old one steps up. So if you had D10 physical stress and you take D6, you now have D12.
Different types of stress don't interact. So if you had D8 emotional stress and you take D6 mental stress, you now have D8 emotional and D6 mental.A System-Independent Creative Community:

Re: Day of the Octopus OOC
Thank you for the explanation! So in this instance, if Electro had hit Sleeper would have been up to a D8 of Physical regardless? Either the D8 replaces the D6 outright, or the resist effect die reduces the attack effect to a D6, which then steps up the existing D6 to a D8 - am I understanding correctly?
