IMPOCALYPSE

BATTLE MECHANICS
  • 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.

[she does look pretty rough-- comparatively, he's not that bad off, just looks like his jeans either got the Full Bad End Treatment.

or maybe acid.

and maybe some dried blood from earlier fights.]

We coulda done a better job figuring out exactly what to expect.

It sounded like they were going to form into bigger things, but I still wasn't really expecting...

[She wavers a little on her feet.]

Giant screaming building-sized monsters, I guess.

Shoulda tries to figure how many formed into how big a thing.

For science.

Or something.

I'm not really the science type. Anyway, at this point we just have to keep killing them until they're gone.

That's sustainable.

I barely even got a warm up this time.

Some people thought it was a good idea to just chop a bunch of the snake heads off a giant lion-snake thing instead of going for vital points, so I got a little knocked around this time.

But I still have like fifty bullets left.

You got a gun that can fire that many bullets in a reasonable amount of time?



Because I am broke, but I will throw down every point I've got to my name for that.

Depends on your definition of reasonable.

[She pulls her revolver from her back holster. It's engraved with morning glory vines, and despite being the first model of revolver ever invented and therefore pretty ancient, at the moment it looks brand new, or even like the BEST POSSIBLE revolver?]

It's a Collier flintlock. Six shots. I used The Harder They Fall on it, so I've got maybe eighteen more hours before it breaks...

Enough that 50 bullets is a thing you could reasonably expect to fire over the course of a fight.

[he sighs wistfully]

I miss guns.

The most I've gotten off so far is 12, but that was all the bullets I had, before. So it's a good thing we took it out with that. I didn't want to run out again.

That's not bad.

I might have to look that one up, then.

If you want to try stuff out, I've pulled up a shooting range in the vid room for target practice, before.
mind_blown: (It won't be so bad)

Re: END

[personal profile] mind_blown 2020-07-25 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Target practice would be fun-- but it'd be more fun getting something like a normal revolver, just a few decades later.

I know it's too much to ask for anything that needs a magazine.

Well, you can see what the shop will give you and test it out first, at least.

The harder they fall. It's a ZRAEL ability... it makes something the best it can be for a while, and then it crashes afterwards.
