(2 posts)-
[17:04] Leigh Luv: greetings everyone I see a lot of new faces
[17:05] Leigh Luv: for those that don't know me I am Leigh and one of the storytellers and moderators here in Legaices and I would like to welcome you all...
[17:05] Leigh Luv: welcome back Aliera
[17:05] Aliera Kyrie: sorry im crashy bit tonight. internet is not so good
[17:05] Leigh Luv: it happens to us all
[17:07] Leigh Luv: now I do not know how many of you have used other systems but I would like to start out with take all that you know about video games, or any other meter systems that are used in SL gather it all up and throw it away
[17:07] Victorino MoriartyVictorino Moriarty calls a moving ompany to help out
[17:08] Leigh Luv: the Larps is not a meter combat but a RP tool that develops with you as you role play here in legacies. It is an artificial intellegence in that it does learn as you do things...the system is made so that all you have to do is wear it and play
[17:08] Legacies 1891 - OrientationLegacies 1891 - Orientation proudly welcomes Grrrl Titanium who has gone through the complete Orientation Pack and has become the newest Role Playing Citizen :)
[17:09] Leigh Luv: to start out when doing any RP we use the /2 and the /2m for emotes....this will record your verbosity which will grow as you RP with others including your social skills for your character
[17:09] Leigh Luv: the /2 will come out in quotes automatically
[17:09] Leigh Luv: so if you type /2 greetings ..try it for me please
[17:09] Kitten: "greetings"
[17:09] Sophia: "greetings"
[17:09] Shrug DangleShrug Dangle puts his meter on
[17:10] Esurio Manus Bloodsmoore: "Salutations."
[17:10] Aliera: "greetings"
[17:10] Aliera: ((Aliera Kyrie is Out Of Character))
[17:10] Aliera: ((Aliera Kyrie is In Character))
[17:10] Adramalech Wardark: "Wait... what?"
[17:10] Rothust Codsan OBERothust Codsan OBE finally gets it on and tries out an emote
[17:10] Rothust Codsan OBE: "hey that works"
[17:10] Leigh Luv: now if you use the /2m this is more for emotes.../me smiles and says. "greetings"
[17:10] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Aliera Kyrie's meter has been detached.))
[17:11] Aliera: ((Aliera Kyrie is Out Of Character))
[17:11] Rothust Codsan OBERothust Codsan OBE reloads his meter because it's acting weird
[17:11] SophiaSophia smiles and wonders where her crackers are
[17:11] Aliera: ((Aliera Kyrie is In Character))
[17:11] Aliera Kyrie: there, sorry it went grayed out while I was in character
[17:11] Leigh Luv: I had that issue earlier actually
[17:12] Arielle: ((Arielle Lavecchia has entered the area.))
[17:12] Esurio Manus BloodsmooreEsurio Manus Bloodsmoore removes his glasses to clean them , not seeing what else might be going on in the room.
[17:12] Persephone Kelaino Plutonian: ((PersephoneKore Plutonian has entered the area.))
[17:12] Leigh Luv: now unlike most sims Legacies is a full immersion RP..that means the moment you enter the game floor you are IC...there is no OOC in the general chat...there is only one form of OOC allowed on the main game floor..can anyone tell me what that is?
[17:13] Shrug Dangle: out of body
[17:13] Leigh Luv: could someone please show me the proper use of the out of body or (oob)
[17:13] Persephone Kelaino PlutonianPersephone Kelaino Plutonian can't rez fast enough
[17:13] Aliera Kyrie: if you have to step away to use the restroom or answer the door
[17:13] Aliera Kyrie: maybe/
[17:14] Adramalech WardarkAdramalech Wardark yawns lightly and decides to take a brief nap. (oob)
[17:14] EmmilyEmmily waits for her promised complimentarly limbs, drifting into thought as she waits...((OOB))
[17:14] Esurio Manus BloodsmooreEsurio Manus Bloodsmoore stares into the fire for several minutes, paying no mind to anyone else in the room (oob)
[17:14] Pandora Fireguard: opens her sketch book and begins to draw (oob)
[17:14] Shrug Dangle: ah ok
[17:14] Leigh Luv: that would be the reason for using it and there are several examples..show some way ICly that you are not concentrating and then add (OOB) at the end
[17:14] Leigh Luv: please please please do not add explination or give any OOC information
[17:15] Leigh Luv: just the (oob) is enough after your RP line
[17:15] Leigh Luv: if you need to let others know use the OOC chat
[17:15] Emmily: ((Lamia Starspear is In Character))
[17:15] Leigh Luv: any questions about the OOB?
[17:16] Arielle LavecchiaArielle Lavecchia needs a super crash fast: what's oob?
[17:16] Leigh Luv: the main idea is to not break character or the full immersive quality of the RP on the game floor
[17:16] Leigh Luv: oob is for when one needs to go afk
[17:17] Arielle Lavecchia: ah ok
[17:17] Leigh Luv: you do a RP line like gazing off..falling asleep, mediating and then add (oob) at the end
[17:17] Arielle Lavecchia: can I ask something if it's covered yet. or not.
[17:18] Leigh Luv: what is your question?
[17:19] Arielle Lavecchia: I've been to other places that are also immersive, and there when people reallyneed to log off or tp away, they get out of IC sight. then vanish. A lot of times here people just say bye and poofs.
[17:20] Arielle Lavecchia: question really is: is that fine, if it's not a crash?
[17:20] EmmilyEmmily beckons to Grrrl.
[17:20] Leigh Luv: if one needs to leave we do ask that they exit the scene by typing a quick exit post and walking out...that is being curtious to the other players...but we all also understand that there are times RL does not always give you that option either
[17:22] Arielle Lavecchia: Of course it is understandable.
[17:23] Leigh Luv: ok so now there is one other option for your RP and that is speaking in the language of your character those that have the same rase will get a translation those that do not will not you do this by using the /22
[17:23] Leigh Luv: if your character is human then all you will have is common
[17:23] Leigh Luv: please try something with the /22
[17:23] Emmily: ((other language)): eco
[17:23] LaRPS HUD: :::: Lamia Starspear :::: Indeed.
[17:24] Adramalech Wardark: I like you too Pandora, but I don't think sitting on my head in public is a good idea.
[17:24] Mordechai R??mil Singollo: ((other language)): sens
[17:24] LaRPS HUD: :::: Gamja Myanamotu :::: hello
[17:24] Persephone Kelaino Plutonian: ((other language)): airle reti sens ot muse

[17:24] Shrug Dangle: can we teach each other languages?
[17:25] EmmilyEmmily snickers.
[17:25] Leigh Luv: no but....they will learn it eventuallly the more they hear it
[17:25] Shrug Dangle: yes with the translation skill, my eyes are crossing sorry :P
[17:26] LaRPS HUD: :::: Gamja Myanamotu :::: kiss my ass
[17:26] Mordechai R??mil Singollo: ((other language)): reti ot see
[17:26] Leigh Luv: ok so ready for me to move on?

[17:26] Gamja Myanamotu: yup
[17:26] LaRPS HUD: :::: Lamia Starspear :::: This cookie is so fuckin' good.
[17:26] LaRPS HUD: :::: Aliera Kyrie :::: very good
[17:26] Aliera: ((other language)): darr
[17:26] LaRPS HUD: :::: Adramalech Wardark :::: Why not share some of that cookie with me?
[17:26] Adramalech Wardark: ((other language)): gra lucir darr et darr belall darr gra
[17:26] LaRPS HUD: :::: PersephoneKore Plutonian :::: no one ever speak my language - sad kitten face.
[17:26] Persephone Kelaino Plutonian: ((other language)): ot see reti sens ot omta ter see airle sens
[17:26] Leigh Luv: ok now there is one thing that is very important you will want to be sure you feed your character
[17:27] Leigh Luv: as your hunger grows your intelegence, wisdom, endurance..all your stats will go down...just like RL you can't function as well the same can be said for your character
[17:27] LaRPS HUD: :::: Bramble Stoneshield :::: Is that why you want a cookie? Need to eat?
[17:27] Esurio Manus Bloodsmoore: ((other language)): et darr gra darr nos eco darr et darr
[17:27] Leigh Luv: ok waits for the fun with the /22 stops and smiles
[17:27] EmmilyEmmily raised hands innocenlty.
[17:28] Lamia Starspear: Innocently even.
[17:29] Leigh Luv: there are several ways to feed your characters...one is to RP eating and using the /9gorge this will feed your character up to 50% it will convert your power to a food source
[17:29] Sophia: sorry guys im going to have to log for a few minutes.
[17:29] Leigh Luv: another way is to find free food that is located in several places on the game floor
[17:29] Leigh Luv: you can also defeat some of the NPC's that will give you some meat
[17:29] Esurio Manus Bloodsmoore: Mmmmm... rats
[17:30] Leigh Luv: and then for some races biting others...will feed the character but I warn you that one you must meet the challenge rule and two you may face IC consequenses for biting others
[17:30] Lamia Starspear: I prefer my meat still screaming.
[17:31] Leigh Luv: now as we said this is a RP full immersion sim that means there is no meter bashing except for NPC's....before any conflict Rp one MUST meet the challenge rule
[17:31] Leigh Luv: is there anyone here that can tell me what that is?
[17:32] Grrrl Titanium: Waiting for someone to respond to your initial action, instead of just RPing that you were successful?
[17:32] Leigh Luv: that is part of it
[17:33] Leigh Luv: you must have at least 2 lines of RP with interaction with another player before you can actuallly do anything to them..is that clear? any questions about that?
[17:33] Aliera Kyrie: um from the notecard that I read, it's making someone aware of that they may be attacked. You do that by making two posts basically "hinting" it doesn't have to be something they can notice icly, but has to indicate it so that they know that "something" may be there.
[17:33] Leigh Luv: that is it exactly Aliera
[17:34] Leigh Luv: ok I mentioned about power earlier this is needed for some of your rolls and abilities...you gain power by being around others
[17:35] Leigh Luv: if you look on your hud you will see where it says power and the numbers should be growing as we speek
[17:35] Leigh Luv: the next thing I wish to discuss with you is about targeting
[17:36] Leigh Luv: this is required for some of your rolls and abilities to work...to target another player you have two options
[17:36] Leigh Luv: one is to click on their meter
[17:37] Leigh Luv: the other is to type /9tar (character name) so if you wanted to target Emmily it would be /9tar Emmily but if they have doctor, lord, lady...this will also be needed..so like to target me you would need to type /9tar Lady L
[17:37] Leigh Luv: you don't need to type the full name
[17:37] Shrug Dangle: what about people that have extended ASCII characters in their character name?
[17:37] Lord Nic Luv: ((Nicolie Luv has entered the area.))
[17:38] Leigh Luv: ascii will not translate on the larps meter we are not talking avi name but character name
[17:38] Lord Nic Luv: ((Nicolie Luv is in StoryTeller mode.))
[17:38] Shrug Dangle: just checking, I thought I saw someone with a LARPS character name that had an extended character in it
[17:39] Shrug Dangle: it could have been their display name
[17:39] Leigh Luv: most extended characters will mess up on the Larps character sheet because it is web based
[17:39] Shrug Dangle: I'm glad you guys blocked that
[17:39] Leigh Luv: you will know you have someone targeted by their name showing on your hud
[17:40] Leigh Luv: you can clear the target just by clicking on the word target on your hud
[17:40] Leigh Luv: now in a dice roll if you do not have them targeted it is an automatic miss
[17:41] Leigh Luv: that was quick welcome back
[17:41] Aliera Kyrie: net is blurping sorry
[17:41] Sephy: I learned that with Abyssal grip
[17:41] Leigh Luv: ok now the next thing I will mention is we have 3 modes for your meters...depending on what you are doing
[17:42] Leigh Luv: right now most of you are in target mode
[17:42] Leigh Luv: please type /9melee area for me
[17:43] Leigh Luv: if you look around your name you will see some extra characters that were not there with a skull and cross bones
[17:44] Leigh Luv: this means when playing with the NPC's you do not need to have them targeted to affect them with melee but to use an ability on them you will still need to have them targeted
[17:44] Leigh Luv: this is an area damage so anytime you swing in this mode you will cause damage...even to other characters so be careful with this mode
[17:44] Rivka ShorRivka Shor attempts but misses performing Insurge on Mordechai R??mil Singollo.
[17:45] Grrrl Titanium: Oh shoot, sorry... just testing it. D:
[17:45] Leigh Luv: to go back to the normal mode...please type /9melee target
[17:45] Rivka Shor: ((Grrrl Titanium is Out Of Character))
[17:45] Rivka Shor: ((Grrrl Titanium is In Character))
[17:46] Leigh Luv: our next mode we use when having conflict RP it is our scene mode please type /9scenemode on
[17:46] Molly: dang i have to go now dinner is ready see you all again soon
[17:46] EmmilyEmmily dips out early to stalk the city streets.
[17:46] Leigh Luv: there will be another class at 2 slt tomorrow
[17:47] Lorkhan Eberhart: sorry im quiet :x reading everything just going back and forth between stuff
[17:47] Molly: cool i will be there at 2 then
[17:47] Leigh Luv: with this mode your health and strength will not automatically regenerate
[17:47] Leigh Luv: so when someone affects your health with a dice roll or ability it is frozen and will continue to decline based on the RP
[17:48] Leigh Luv: see the little pie like icon under your name?
[17:48] Sephy: yes
[17:48] Leigh Luv: when you see this and you come up to a group it is also an OOC indicator that a RP fight is happening
[17:49] Leigh Luv: please be advised when a ST is on a scene for such a fight that they may have closed the scene to others entering it
[17:49] Sephy: ah!
[17:49] Leigh Luv: we do this when a fight has been happening for usually over an hour...because technically it may be over when your character arrives
[17:49] Leigh Luv: time slows way down in a RP fight..smiles
[17:50] Leigh Luv: to go back to the normal mode please type /9scenemode off
[17:50] Leigh Luv: once you do this health will again start to regenerate
[17:51] Leigh Luv: now..some of you may have already seen this..when someone's meter says "IN RECOVERY"
[17:51] Sephy: yes
[17:52] Leigh Luv: this is a mode we use one when a player has been in a conflict fight and sustained a lot of damage..the tiime is determined by the dice roll of a d4 and a d6 the two numbers together will give you the amount of days you are recovering
[17:52] Leigh Luv: when in this state no one can act agressively towards you and you cannot get into a conflict either
[17:52] Leigh Luv: your hurt...
[17:53] Leigh Luv: you can to honor other's RP and dice have that time cut based on RP by rolling a d4 with a ST to honor any healing but you must be in recovery for at least 2 days minimum
[17:53] Leigh Luv: any questions about this?
[17:55] Leigh Luv: have I put everyone to sleep?
[17:55] Leigh Luv: laughs
[17:55] Sephy: not me
[17:55] Reaper: Of course not
[17:55] Aliera Kyrie: not me
[17:55] Aliera Kyrie: I'm here. just listening
[17:55] Sophia: trya catch up missed to much ..
[17:55] Leigh Luv: ok just let me know if your cool it is the only way I know
[17:55] Pandora Fireguard: no
[17:55] Leigh Luv: ok now lets get into the skills...
[17:56] Pandora Fireguard: i have a question about the dice that i think is dumb
[17:56] Pandora Fireguard: blushes
[17:56] Esurio Manus Bloodsmoore: Sorry, had to afk there
[17:56] Leigh Luv: no such thing as a dumb question
[17:56] Shrug Dangle: I have lots of skills questions heh
[17:56] Pandora Fireguard: ok, here goes. how do you know to roll a d4 or d6, etc
[17:57] Leigh Luv: depends on what is going on storytellers use them as qualifyers
[17:57] Pandora Fireguard: ah, ok. ty.
[17:58] Leigh Luv: for instance d6 is used a lot for duration....say someone does a mind control...that is not permant for anyone you can roll a d6 to determine rounds, hours or days
[17:58] Leigh Luv: you can even flip a coin if you want by useing the d2
[17:59] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[17:59] Leigh Luv: for health check we use a d10 each number equals 10% of your health
[17:59] Leigh Luv: ok now ready for the skills?
[17:59] Pandora Fireguard: yes, ty -
[18:00] Leigh Luv: http://larps.net/skills_and_professions.php
[18:00] Leigh Luv: that link will take you to all the skills we currently have available
[18:00] Leigh Luv: with each skill is listed a definition of what it means
[18:00] Leigh Luv: please do not feel overwhelmed with the list of skills
[18:01] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Arielle Lavecchia's meter has been detached.))
[18:01] Leigh Luv: no one character would have every skill listed there it is a list made for any type of RP your character may have...use the skills based upon your character
[18:01] Leigh Luv: like a human may be versed in demonology but another one may not
[18:01] Leigh Luv: it is all based upon YOUR character
[18:02] Leigh Luv: now to use a skill just type /9use (skillname)...so if you wanted to use the skill on demonology type /9use demonology
[18:02] Leigh Luv: make sure you spell it correctly
[18:03] Aliera Kyrie: can you clear a skill off?
[18:03] Leigh Luv: also there are headers for areas so the headers themselves are not skills
[18:03] Leigh Luv: yes
[18:03] Leigh Luv: type /9use nothing
[18:04] Adramalech Wardark: I found /9use none works too
[18:04] Gamja Myanamotu: did you give out xp yet? I crashed
[18:04] Shrug DangleShrug Dangle laughs
[18:04] Leigh Luv: no the class is not done yet
[18:04] Gamja Myanamotu: k
[18:04] Shrug Dangle: ok I suppose the logical next question is how does one raise a skill?
[18:04] Grrrl Titanium: Fervent prayer? xD
[18:04] Adramalech Wardark: Fail at it, fail miserably.
[18:04] Leigh Luv: by using it with dice rolls
[18:04] Leigh Luv: when you miss a roll you learn more than with your successes
[18:05] Leigh Luv: now here is a warning for all of you
[18:05] Rothust Codsan OBE: ((Shrug Dangle rolls a d100. Result is 31))
[18:05] Leigh Luv: please do not sit off by yourself use the skill and roll environmentals or self rolls just to get the points on a skill up this will NOT help your charcter
[18:06] Leigh Luv: you will not gain any wisdom or intelegence to go with it to back it up...characters in Legacis are ment to grow over time not overnight
[18:07] Leigh Luv: the LaRpS knows when you are around others..the best way to build your skills is one to use them in your daily RP with the dice
[18:07] Leigh Luv: the other is to find one that has expert knowledge that can teach it
[18:07] Sephy: thats really hard to do
[18:07] Leigh Luv: to teach a skill you can have them targeted or area..
[18:07] Leigh Luv: not really RP about wanting to learn more with others
[18:08] Leigh Luv: you may find someone willing to teach your character
[18:08] Leigh Luv: remember....that is why we are here to RP...it is just another area where you can gain more RP.....if your character needs to learn find a teacher or go to the university
[18:09] Leigh Luv: if a class is not offered yet at the university ask for one to be offered and added to the curriculum
[18:09] Leigh Luv: these are all RP ideas you can do with your character to develop them
[18:10] Leigh Luv: ok any other questions about the skills?
[18:10] Esurio Manus Bloodsmoore: Is there a cap to how many skills one can learn?
[18:10] Grrrl Titanium: Meep, I have one, sort of.
[18:11] Grrrl Titanium: Re: classes, would it be possible to inquire about teaching classes on the specific skills?
[18:11] Leigh Luv: no but also think logically about your character...would one be that majorlly diversified?
[18:11] Leigh Luv: ummm you mean IC or OOCly
[18:11] Shrug Dangle: I actually have a question too
[18:11] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TheReturnedOne Resident
I think I may need an ST for an RP))
[18:11] Grrrl Titanium: IC (thats what the classes you meant were, yes?)
[18:12] Leigh Luv: those at the university are IC classes
[18:12] Grrrl Titanium: Yush, that's what I meant, about people inquiring about teaching IC classes.
[18:12] Sephy: I tried to attend and never got an answer :/
[18:13] Leigh Luv: you will hear this motto a lot..."find out ICly.." and find the dean of the university..*coughs* nic...*coughs*
[18:13] Grrrl Titanium: Hrm, gotcha.
[18:14] Leigh Luv: the University RP is something we have been working on had to start it from scratch
[18:14] Leigh Luv: Shrug you said you had a question?
[18:14] Shrug Dangle: oh yes
[18:14] Shrug Dangle: on my character sheet I see things I use frequently like healing, etc.. but I use other skills like missile or hobble, I don't see anything related to those skills on the sheet
[18:14] Shrug Dangle: not logically at least
[18:15] Leigh Luv: those are abilites and can see them on your sheet under abilities
[18:15] Shrug Dangle: right I have a question about those too :P
[18:15] Shrug Dangle: haha
[18:15] Shrug Dangle: those drive me nuts
[18:16] Leigh Luv: as you level you will gain more also the more you use them the longer your range and possible the higher the damage
[18:16] Leigh Luv: but
[18:16] Leigh Luv: if your using them on the NPC's some do not work well on them because they have a high resistance
[18:16] Leigh Luv: you have to determine which work best on which NPC
[18:16] RosalineRosaline slips in quietly - hiding in the shadows - wearing a rather bright dress
[18:16] Shrug Dangle: I've found that certain skills decay faster than others, some in a matter of a few rounds
[18:17] Shrug Dangle: err abilities rather
[18:17] Leigh Luv: the abilites...when in a RP fight last as long as the round does...so..sometimes it might wear off before the person finishes postiing
[18:17] Shrug DangleShrug Dangle nods
[18:18] Leigh Luv: so in other words
[18:18] Adramalech Wardark: Yus
[18:18] Leigh Luv: you throw an ability on me...that ability will stay in affect untill all post including me and gets back to you
[18:18] Leigh Luv: make sense?
[18:19] Pandora Fireguard: oh! larps knows that?
[18:19] Leigh Luv: no unfortunatly not on that
[18:19] Leigh Luv: but that is just curteous to the RP round
[18:19] Leigh Luv: because they do have timers on them
[18:19] Pandora Fireguard: oh, i see.
[18:20] Leigh Luv: remember when you use an ability like hobblethem..it is temporary and would RPd that they FEEL like their legs are broken not that they are broken ok?
[18:22] Leigh Luv: now the next thing I want to be sure all of you understand.. and that is it is all in the detailes
[18:23] Leigh Luv: no matter what the dice say...even if the chat says you did an influence....if you did not RP the attempt of that influence then there is nothing to react to....same for discovery...you must have in your RP line what it is your attempting...the dice do not make your RP but they support your RP attempt
[18:23] Leigh Luv: does that make sense?
[18:23] Pandora Fireguard: yes, rp first, then throw
[18:23] Shrug DangleShrug Dangle nods
[18:24] Shrug Dangle: say there's a grave with moss over the lettering, I'd rp that out before I rolled to see if I could divine what it said
[18:24] Leigh Luv: correct
[18:25] Leigh Luv: just because you threw a discovery roll unless you asked something in your RP of what you are trying to discover there is nothing for the other to respond to
[18:25] Leigh Luv: please respect your fellow players and try to be clear in your attempt exactly what it is then throw the dice so they will know how to give the appropriate reaction
[18:25] Pandora: "reaches over with her pinking shears, hoping to cut off a lock of demon hair with which to embellish the dress she is making."
[18:26] Leigh Luv: that would be a good line if we knew who you were attempting that on..laughs
[18:26] Adramalech Wardark: hey hey hey!
[18:26] Adramalech Wardark: Not the dreads!
[18:27] Leigh Luv: now how to chose your dice...I am going to give all of you a link from our players manual
[18:27] Leigh Luv: http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details
[18:27] Pandora Fireguard: oops
[18:27] Pandora Fireguard: Adra
[18:27] Pandora Fireguard: lol

[18:33] Leigh Luv: ready?
[18:34] Pandora Fireguard: ok, because i wasn't harming him, but his hair apparently bites. a critical fail would be his hair coming after me. lol
[18:34] would growl she raised her foot to stomp her bladed heal into Nicolie's foot
[18:34] Esurio Manus Bloodsmoore: Physical
[18:35] Leigh Luv: tell me what the full tree of the roll would be

[18:36] Gloriana Maertens: target magical grapple
[18:37] Esurio Manus BloodsmooreEsurio Manus Bloodsmoore shouldn't have been drinking before class.

[18:39] Adramalech Wardark: Go for the hair pandora, I dare you
[18:39] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[18:40] Pandora: "sees Adra slumped over his drink at the cafe. pulls out her pinking shears and slips up behind him, hoping to get a grip on his head and clip off a few dreadlocks."
[18:41] Leigh Luv: so what would the roll be?
[18:41] Gloriana Maertens: target physical presence?
[18:42] Leigh Luv: correct becasue the significant action in that post is to cut off some hair
[18:42] Aliera Kyrie: target physical grapple? she's grabbing the hair.
[18:42] Leigh Luv: well that would be true if she stopped at grabbing his head
[18:42] Pandora Fireguard: ooh, i was wrong about my own action. i thought it was grapple.
[18:42] Leigh Luv: but she contineued to wanting to cut off hair
[18:42] Pandora Fireguard: should i not have done two actions?
[18:43] Leigh Luv: so the significant action here is to cut his hair
[18:43] Leigh Luv: well you could
[18:43] Leigh Luv: first to see if you can get the hair without him noticing
[18:43] Leigh Luv: and then attempting to cut it
[18:43] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[18:43] Leigh Luv: see all iin the details
[18:43] Leigh Luv: now lets talk about reactions
[18:44] Leigh Luv: lets say you got a successful roll in cutting his hair...can he then inturn roll to stop you?
[18:45] Pandora Fireguard: yes
[18:45] Pandora Fireguard: not to stop me but to retaliate or defend
[18:45] Gloriana Maertens: as I understand it no. the "Save" throw is handled at the same time the chance to hit roll is. I think....
[18:45] Leigh Luv: now this is a tricky question for it depends on how you RPd it
[18:45] Leigh Luv: so lets qualify it more
[18:46] Leigh Luv: lets say you RPd that you attempted to cut his hair without him noticing
[18:46] Leigh Luv: and got a successful roll
[18:46] Leigh Luv: and your right Gloriana the save throw is part of it...and what detemines the outcome
[18:47] Leigh Luv: so let me show you something that tri came up with in regards to outcomes
[18:48] Leigh Luv: Stellar Success- Almost perfect, better than expected.
Success- A normal success.
Bare Success- It was 50/50, this is borderline success.
Miss- Was unable to hit the target, Could be out of range, out of power....
Critical Miss- Missed the target and possibility of self damage (gun backfired).
[18:48] Leigh Luv: these are our definitions for each outcome
[18:49] Leigh Luv: now let me show you a scenario with the outcimes
[18:49] Leigh Luv: outcomes*
[18:49] Leigh Luv: Scenario: Joe winds up to hit Bob square over the head with a bottle.- Stellar Success : Joe smashes the bottle square over Bob's head with such force that it drops Bob.
- Success : Joe hits the bottle square over Bob's head, causing damage.
- Barely Successful : Joe hits the bottle on Bob's head but does not shatter, instead it bounces back.
- Fail : Joe swings the bottle but whizzes past Bob's head.
- Critical Fail : Joe swings the bottle but whizzes past Bob's head, smashing it instead on the beam behind him and getting glass in his hands.
[18:50] Leigh Luv: I know I have covered a lot tonight..but are there any questions?
