IMPOCALYPSE
BATTLE MECHANICS
Note: characters that are heavily injured may acquire corruptions. There will be heavy maiming.
- This is a turn-based fight. PCs will take their turn, the boss will react, and then the boss will take their turn. Players will react and take their turn, and so on and so forth.
- You may take up to six actions in one turn, including dodge. You may attack up to 6 times if you're not dodging, and you can attack even if you are dodging or fail to dodge. If a swing delivers more than one attack (throwing multiple projectiles at the same time) then it's counted as one "action".
- With every strike/blow/attack, .roll 1d6 twice (or !2d6. MAKE SURE TO DO IT THIS WAY BECAUSE NADEKO IS A TRAITOR. The first dice determines whether your attack succeeds or fails, with 1-3 as fail and 4-6 as success. The second dice determines how much damage you inflict on the boss. Please include both numbers with your comment on your turn.
- Roll for every strike, not for every turn. If your character decides to shoot 4 times in succession, roll a 2d6 for every bullet.
- Green text can be dodged, but red text is guaranteed damage. Dodge by using a 1d6, 1-3 as fail and 4-6 as success.
- UNIT ABILITY MECHANICS ARE HERE, but please note: this is not the end-all be-all of how these powers can be used, and these are not the only powers that can be used in a fight, these are just the ones that affect rolls specifically. The session's runner always has the final say, so ask if you want to do something cool but you don't think it's street legal. (It probably is.)
Note: characters that are heavily injured may acquire corruptions. There will be heavy maiming.
EFFECTS LIST
- Black substance, both sticky and acidic
- A sticky substance that seems to cling to everything it touches, and is impossible to pull off. It melts through flesh, but the more it melts, the more it seems to become absorbed. Sufficient absorption of this substance in any capacity (skin absorption, digestion) will result in corruptions that may be permanent. May be removed by severing the affected area, or by bringing the affected area to the deadzone.

[A chunk of it has been uh--good and loosened...]
Think I'll have ta replace my arm?
Re: CW gore
He roots around in his hip pouch and pulls out an emergency first aid kit, digging out a length of bandages.]
Sorry in advance--
[--and he starts winding bandages around it, tight enough to strap that floppy flesh down and apply pressure to the bleeding.]
Re: CW gore
Re: CW gore
He hooks his shuriken onto his belt and tries to gather Pink up in his arms. As he tries to pick him up, he blanches, breath escaping in a wheeze.
There is something really wrong with his ribs, and now that the adrenaline is wearing off, all that movement from fighting is catching up to him in a hurry.
Choked:]

Re: CW gore
Hey--you okay?
[Obviously not, but? Coming closer to support just in case, thanks, Stability]
Re: CW gore
Ah... Sorry, my ears... I can't hear right.
You okay?
[he says, to the other person who can't hear]
Re: CW gore
[Which is probably the right answer to whatever it was he said. But words are generally a good thing so best to be supportive. Physically, also; if his ribs are hurt then lying down flat'll hurt extra like a bitch; she broadcasts her movements before moving behind him to try and prop him up (sorry pink's just gotta lie on the ground tho)]
Re: CW gore
Let's head back.
[beckoning her to follow]
Re: CW gore
[At some point they'll want things like hearing but...eventually]
Re: CW gore
[Gladio turns back around to find Pink and Cobalt in a heap and hurries back over. Crouches down and puts an arm around Pinks shoulders]
I can take him to the hotel for heals. You gonna be ok?
I'll bring someone back if you sit tight.
Re: CW gore
Re: CW gore
Sorry, my ears... I can't understand what you're saying.
Can you carry Pink? My ribs...
Re: CW gore
He shows the screen to Cobalt, and whisks Pink away after Cobalt reads it]
Re: CW gore
Gladio looks at the damage to Pink's arm, breathes out in uneasy relief]
Unless you really want a new one, probly not.
[gentle head pat, and leaves Pink in Cobalt's care as he checks on the others]
Re: CW gore
[Cobalt does his best but it looks like he needs Gladio's help]
