Back now!
Kakara's current thought is that Jaffur wasn't doing a, "ew, don't want my medicine, ick." Kakara believes that what was happening was Jaffur in general being very defensive when in a position of vulnerability. Readers may recall from Kakara's visions that Jaffur tends to start awake if he so much as hears a noise when he sleeps. When he's unconscious as the result of being shot in the back, and gets
slapped awake with somebody yelling at him, the sounds of ongoing combat and agonized screaming going on in the background, and there's something strange in his mouth, it's not too surprising that his first reaction is, "I don't know what that is but it's going the
fuck somewhere else."
@PoptartProdigy , I ask this without salt, because I sincerely desire to know... was it
difficult for him to do this? Did it require more than just a straight exercise in rolling the Ki Control vs. Ki Sense test you put in the invisitext?
Because if it's that easy to do, then if Kakara survives this she should look into doing it more often, because it's one hell of a killer app. And her ki control is probably as good as Lord Vegeta's, while most opponents have inferior ki sense to hers...
Well, he rolled all of the typical rolls that involve shooting somebody, for one, and for another, what I posted was merely the
last control vs. sense check he had to make (albeit the hardest). He had to spoof once to establish the deception, once to maintain it, and once to split focus between maintaining the deception and lining up his shot. Then one final Ki Control check to transform and burst high before Kakara could react, which was the check you saw. There was also a willpower check vs. distraction, because even though he has (obviously) trained up his tail,
ow that fucking stings.
In general, though, ki control is the opposed check to ki sense, yes.
@PoptartProdigy Curiousity begs: Did the cookies and [Sizing up an opponent], [Supporting magical allies], and [
DOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!] omake bonuses not apply, or were they added and not enough, and the post with them not been updated yet?
A combination of them. For one thing, it's a max of one cookie/greater bonus and one lesser bonus per check. Some of the bonuses you listed weren't applicable in the first place (you're not supporting a magical ally, nor were you examining Vegeta with an eye towards determining his strengths and weaknesses). Dodge did apply in conjunction with one other, and those reduced the magnitude of Vegeta's success (had the margin been wider, you'd be unconscious, and I would've dumped you straight to Visionland). They didn't cancel it out entirely, though, and then you hit the stacking limit.
...Yeah.
Poptart doesn't tend to smile upon votes where we try to optimize exactly how we best make use of our abilities. So the game is set up such that we have to trust them to have Kakara make best use of her abilities, which, uh... eeeeeh, sometimes.
That's a
little disingenuous. I frown on intimidating essay votes, because they tend to alienate people from participating and also make tallying a pain. I quite love people coming up with clever ideas, though. That's why I've been trialing all these changes in how I handle voting, lately. I'm trying to find the middle ground.
how the fuck do you spoof going super sayain
You don't. You spoof your power level continuing its trend of falling, line up your shot, and then burst to max power as you shoot.
If you roll high enough, it's possible.
