@InbarRose Mr Bearington opens the door in a very neighbourly manner and asks you how his day is. And attempts to pass as a person doing it. (Acutally, I'm going to bump that down to Be People 2.)
I use my sword to attack the dangerous scary bear that I fear has taken control of my friend bearington (not realizing the truth, nor wondering what my sword is doing in his house)
You're knocked to your feet! Sir Bearington stands up, shredding the robe on the way up, and asks you what the deuce you're doing attacking him in his house!
Oh, I am so sorry mr bearington. I must have hit my head, for a moment I thought you were a real bear. I am dreadfully sorry. Oh - btw - what are you doing with my sword?
@InbarRose You must have, it was quite frightening! And I was, uh... I found it! Outside your place, yes. I was waiting until morning to return it to you, of course.
Now the most confusing bit I have is that it doesn't clarify what the opponent rolls. I'm guessing the GM rolls an equal number of dice, or else the opponent can attempt to use a skill of a higher rank? Or what happens there?
> If you roll all sixes on your roll, you can get new skill one level higher than the one you used for the action. The skill must be a subset of what happened to you in the action (Say, Athletics 2 if you were climbing a wall, or Teeth of Biting 2 if you were eating a cake).
Baseline difficulty for opposition is 2;+1 for every narrative element that makes it harder to succeed, -1 for each that makes it easier, to a minimum of "don't even roll, you got it."
For when you just give up on the idea of not getting stabbed by your dice, and give in and decide they might as well just do a good job when you do get stabbed?
Even easier once he got an eagle familiar (different character than the one with the dolphin). Familiars can be endowed with the power to cast one of your spells. He gave it that spell, without even the need to target at a distance - eagle would just poop temporary dead elephants.
Pretty sure we've established that in the past, yes.
I set the Skylanders game in my old college town near Myrtle Beach, SC. Got some interesting social tensions going on there which were ripe for Dresden-y interpretation.
As I recall, it was a Winter Court area with a Summer Court foothold in the local university.
To clarify: I am not, at the moment, looking for more players to participate in the DFA playtest. I might be open to considering it after I've spoken with my already-committed players this weekend, but I make no promises.
It would be lovely to have you guys be part of it, but my IRL group comes first and then logistical concerns kick in.
@waxeagle Oh, man, I can't wait to see how the new Bahá'í calendar calculations work with that.
How to check for traps. Clone self. Realize both of you are trying to trick each other into setting off the trap. Push other self before they come to the same conclusion into trap.
Or you get the coin to land on the edge and it's a space traveling ex-warlord turned comedian whose jokes are so bad they are actually slaying audiences.
