How Dice Rolls Work
  • Informational
    • Character sheet is here.

    Dice rolls are 1d10 + Stat + Proficiency + any applicable bonuses, such as Boons.

    You may spend 3 Tension to Overdrive for a retroactive +5 to your roll (a Determination Overdrive), or +3 to an ally's roll (a Teamwork Overdrive). I will also automatically overdrive to avoid exhaustion or unconsciousness.

    It is possible to critically succeed (on +5 on skill checks and +10 on combat rolls) or critically fail (by the same margins), but rolling a 1 or a 10 does not automatically crit in either case. It is possible to crit retroactively by Overdriving.

    Your stat bonuses have names:
    • Vigor grants a Strength bonus.
    • Agility grants a Dexterity bonus.
    • Spirit grants an Aura bonus.
    • Mind grants an Intuition bonus.
    • Resolve grants a Guts bonus.
    Dice are rolled on a first come, first serve bonus. You only roll for Deedee.

    • I vote the healing massage option. Because Hikaru could really use it and I feel splitting the party during this sudden paradigm shift is a bad idea.
     
    I think safety first, so short rest + heal Hikaru's wounds. It covers all the current largest risk factors, and we can deal with the awkwardness. We're still okay on Stamina for a bit and safety in numbers is more urgent.
     
    [X] Take a Short Rest, tending to Hikaru's wounds. - You won't gain any stamina and this is going to be awkward and tense, but Hikaru will heal very quickly. Also, maybe you want sexual tension with him.

    This is entirely an attack on me and you know it. How can I not ask for sexual tension with the best boy, no matter how smol and potatoes he may be?

    (Somebody give Heeks back his lost moustache, damnit.)
     
    I was immensely confused by her decision to buy tacky cash shop cosmetics before a subscription to the actual game, but being an LPer doing a joke makes sense. :V

    Also, while Deedee thinks she fucked up by letting Hikaru get hurt, I know better and you should too. This was very well done, and most of you voted for what I considered the best tactical decisions, including most of the people who didn't vote for what won.

    *checks the vote* Oh, the runner-up was what Alesha had us do anyway.
     
    I'm inclined to go for the last option and just track/get updates from Sekhmet very carefully. Rescue only if she calls for backup. They're in no shape for a rescue mission, and who knows what's out there. They may even break her cover. None of them seem particularly stealthy, or else I'd totally suggest a scout or two. I could be wrong?

    I'm assuming having a camp ready to rest at will help Sekhmet too?

    Science has created the ultimate vtuber, that's what it did.

    Also, "and I succeeded" is meant to be in the same tone of voice as Giovanni talking about succeeding at cloning Mewtwo.

    The only terrible option was turtling. Being next to a Berzerker (instead of the Agility 1, very slow tank who actually has Cover) when they go into critical health can be very bad. Not that you knew she was a Zerker.

    Ace does actually have the raw stats (Agility primary) to be decent at stealth if she either ditches the armor or finds a way to quiet it: DD's Agility 5 means +3 to her Stealth rolls, which isn't much worse.

    Once you hit 2nd level there's a Perk option that makes stealth much more feasible for Deedee and that's Sylphan approved, but you're not there yet.

    Having a camp setup will help a lot with healing even if Sekh does get in a couple of fights. It'll help with levelling, too, for reasons Hikaru will be able to explain; without a camp you can't level. (This isn't really an argument to set up camp now rather than later in the day, though, since you'll probably want to regardless.)

    ...wait, this game has the "turn into uncontrollable teamkiller" kind of berzerker? And people willingly play them?

    In the MMO prior to getting Truck'd, Berzerker was a Perk that gave you a points rebate. When you went critical, it toggled a state that gives you more damage, less defense, higher speed towards the enemy and lower away.

    This is not necessarily what this feels like once you're on the other side of the screen.

    I see why It's called Lolzerker - This seems like a very good way to get yourself killed.

    Great for memes. Less great for Survivability.

    In the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, backed up by good tanks and healers, a properly played Berzerker did the highest physical DPS of any class or subclass.

    In the hands of someone who wants to show off their Supreme Skillz when they don't have any, they're the lolzerker meme on the AWO forums.

    Honestly been thinking of doing an informal fiesta and donating myself. Only reason it wouldn't be a formal one is a lack of twitter and a refusal to get it out of spite.

    And this just proves we need to get Ace out of the Hornykini and into something actually sensible.
     
    And we're off. Voting closes Tuesday, at 3:00 Pacific.

    @GrayGriffin @Kiera @bii your advice was from before votes opened; they won't be counted unless you vote again before the cutoff.

    My logic here is primarily that keeping more people up is worth the risk of being able to do less come the next fight - if Hikaru's up, he can more than pick up that slack!

    First of all, because Hikaru sounds like he's a snarky lil potate. I would absolutely get behind him having more screentime.

    But more importantly, we need people going to help Jules whilst we also have a wounded potato, and this is the most effective way to deal with both problems IMO - they have a Tank and a DPS, and Aleshas got a good tactical head to guide Ace into not going Lolzerker, so they should be fine. Which leaves Hikaru and we have a method to get him up on his feet quickly.

    This will only be weird and awkward if one of you acts weird and awkward about it, so I'm sure it's fine.

    Or to put it another way: Deedee needs to get over her hangups about this at some point if she's ever going to use the damn skill, so she might as well make an early start; and if she catastrophically faceplants into an awkward mess that would be very funny. Win-win!

    Again, Heeks is the best boy and deserves sexual tension with everyone.

    And his moustache back.
     
    [X] Go with Ace - alone - to find Sekhmet. - Alesha and Hikaru will be unavailable, but get to heal. You and Ace won't have that luxury.

    Not a fan of sexual tension with the potato (potato is for friendship!), but even less of a fan of him being wounded. And our stamina is... probably fine.

    ...people who managed to survive having that class are going to be really rare, aren't they?
