System Related Questions

I'm rather unsure how Nuar's abilities can help him and what exactly he is capable of. I see a few options that would present himself but it would depend on how confident he could pull them off before he would commit to a plan of action.

How big a chance would he have to use his powers to disarm or prevent them from firing ie by grabbing a gun/the guns away or slaming the two of them with a table. If he has a fair chance of this working this would be his first choice.

If he could only distract whilst still be able to attack in case of a battle then he'd fall back on this. But if even that would mean he's unlikely to contribute then he would just go for his bow in which case can he use his powers to improve his accuracy or damage with the bow?

The way I see it is that Nuar would use his powers to help but only if he was reasonably confident that they would help and as a player I'm less familiar with his powers than he would be

Ahh

Loki... language is perfectly acceptable to me. I know this is a PG site, so * are good, but I warned everyone before this started that this was a grown up game. So I'm thinking it is going to be like watching an R rated movie on tv, bleep out the cuss words and cut some of the violence/hanky panky.

Cyco... at work right now but I'll look into your valid questions when I get home and have my books and get to back to you on that soon. Or Rer, if you get a chance before me... (she actually knows this system better than me) he has Mindhands-Str level 3 and Mindhands-Art level 4 if you have any advice for him.

Thanks all!
I am enjoying thus far and hope you all are too, please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this better!

OK

I'll keep that in mind and just put the first letter and a lot of bleeps.

As for I'll do what they did in Mamma Mia and just write ...
For any violent part, I'll have to restrain myself.

Well most violence is okay... I've read over some of those zombie games.

We'll just try to refrain from senseless violence against cute harmless animals or children

Get as violent as you'd like on the dog/coyote guys

a licence to maim and torcher dog people

Unfortunately that would be out of character, Karn would just like to kill them quickly and be done with it.

But he'll turn nastier as the game proceeds

I done posted

Sorry about the delay, having some transitional stuff going on (the textile industry is not in a good place right now).

As you all may have noticed, Ielei is mildly b****y, cold, and has a dislike of men - and for those of you that don't speak spanish, "perro asado" is a lovely dish of roast dog.

Cyco, I'm looking at the Witchcraft book right now. With a mindhands strength of 3 you would be able to telekinetically hurl up to 250 pounds, and if Nuar can channel that strength can be increased by one point per 2 essence points (you are limited to whatever your essence channel level is). It seems pretty likely to me that Nuar would be able to toss a table at our canine friends. Look at your dexterity and mindhands art, combine the two and you have your likelihood of succeeding at what you are trying to do (you need to roll a 9 or higher to succeed, the sum of your dexterity and mindhands art will be added to the roll). I hope this helps. All the info for Mindhands is on pgs 228 and 229 of the book.

Mindhands

Table throwing looks pretty easy, with his dex added to Mindarts Nuar has already achieved the target of 9. Of course that's not really his style if he can achieve his goals with a little less furniture destruction.

In the rules it talks about adding mindhands strength to his own, can that also be taken that he can use his mindhands to improve his bow accuracy or damage?
(Edit: Looks like damage for bow is based on strength so looks like I've just answered by own question there, still not sure about accuracy but that can sort that out later)

Does he have much chance of being able to disarm, or at least disrupt the aim of the two things if they went for their guns?

Sorry for the continued questions, would have though I could work it out from the rulebook but seems I am having a hard time getting the necessary focus to make sense of it.

Thanks,
Cynan

Macho Men

As well as your plans to disrupt the dog peoples attacks I'd just like to add that if then do reach for their guns Karn has a readied an attack against each of them targeted for which ever hand of theirs reached for the guns.

Curses, that wasn't any better explained then on my actual post.

Hang in there!
