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.

[ hhhhhhow did that even happen ]
They got really hurt, too, and started... changing into something... I'm very confused.

Re: END
...sort of like what they'd be able to do at home, probably. They shouldn't be able to, though?

It's never one trouble at a time...

[ some of the black... either hasn't come off of her neck, or has just seemed to stain it in the pattern of her veins, and... if you look closely, her shadow doesn't quite line up with her form. too large, not quite human-shaped. ]
Re: END
...Are you sure you feel okay?

[ she fumbles for her phone; she has at least learned how to use it as a mirror. ]
...oh.
Re: END
Re: END
Well, now I feel less fine for the knowing, but... hopefully it'll... go away?
Re: END
[she doesn't sound very convinced]
Re: END
I'm extremely cursed as a person so this is not precisely unexpected, though.
Re: END
Can you just be cursed as a person...
Re: END
...I might prefer talking about it later, though.
Re: END
[Turns to glance over at... everything happening with the other people here, and then over towards the west]
We should...
Re: END
...it seems like there's a lot going on.
Re: END
It wasn't much of a group, and once we beat our monster everyone pretty much separated, I think. But it sounded like there was something else.
Re: END
...if it's not, I'll have your back for the next one.
