what happens if i roll 6 twice on table A? 3 heads? or reroll 1 for 2 heads?

Dr R Dizzle

Meet Speedbrain, a giant floating brain that's superfast, with voracious learner twice.

@NautArch Everytime you roll 6, you do two more rolls. It stacks.

this is incredible

what have you wound up with?

NautArch

okay, here it is:

MegaThirteen

MegaThirteen: 4 goring horns, 3 psychic eyestalks, 2 bitey teeth, 2 voracious learners, 2 breath weapons, superfast and transformation

Yuuki

~~King~~ God of All Monsters.

Dr R Dizzle

Speedbrain accidentally does a little bit of wee.

doppelgreener

15:27

@NautArch @BESW it happened. it's so beautiful.

NautArch

i need to recount...

Dr R Dizzle

@NautArch And a partridge in a pear tree.

Yuuki

@NautArch So with 2 breath weapons, you can attack 3 monsters with one attack?

NautArch

okay, all set.

Dr R Dizzle

Speedbrain has superfast, and thanks to its lack of features, goes first. He attacks... whatever the head on that thing is meant to be.

NautArch

booooo

doppelgreener

i'm only a little bit hydra

Dr R Dizzle

Speedbrain is delighted to have an ally.

doppelgreener

> POLLUTED HYDRAZOR
HEAD: voracious learner (when you cause a defender to lose a feature, you may take the target's lost feature as your own; you can do this only once per time you have rolled this feature)
HEAD: psychic eyestalks (successful attack inflicts -1 on defender's next roll)
BODY: radioactive (successful defense inflicts -1 on attacker's next roll)
SPECIAL: target acquisition (maneuver to declare a target and have advantage on next roll vs that target)

NautArch

anyone else?

doppelgreener

15:32

hydrazor goes last because he's not fast at all

@NautArch megathirteen's just hungry, isn't he

NautArch

sooo hungry

doppelgreener

it takes a lot to feed that many heads

megathirteen's turn i think

Yuuki

So I think MegaThirteen should be enshrined as some kind of variant where all of the players have to fight against one MegaThirteen.

doppelgreener

i second that

NautArch

The monstrosity known as MegaThirteen looks down upon the puny Hydrazor and attacks with goring horns at +4 to the head.

NautArch

RAWR

doppelgreener

you also have 2 bitey teeth, so you have a natural +6 to attack

BUT LET'S SEE HOW I DO AT DYING LEAST HORRIBLY TO THIS

NautArch

oh, i thougth it was bitey OR horns - not both?

doppelgreener

@NautArch they stack. it's both. you're doing gorey and bitey.

doppelgreener

15:36

I DEFEND AT A VALIANT FIVE VERSUS AN ATTACK OF ELEVEN

NautArch

is the breath weapon separate, or is that with modifiers, too?

if so, then it was the breath weapon on both y'all.

doppelgreener

Do I lose voracious learner or my psychic eyestalks?

Yuuki

@doppelgreener I think at this point, Hydrazor loses his self-esteem.

doppelgreener

@NautArch shoot heck. yeah you can do that.

NautArch

I thought i had to pick an attack :)

yeah, roll your defense, speedy

doppelgreener

15:37

@NautArch you have all the things all the time.

NautArch

bbut i'm talking the voracious head

doppelgreener

Also I get -3 on my next roll. :D

Yuuki

@doppelgreener GOOD LUCK, KID.

doppelgreener

@Yuuki thx im gonna die

NautArch

so I can remove your eyestalks and take your voracious head?

doppelgreener

15:38

@NautArch for the voracious learner you can take my psychic eyestalks right now if that's what you choose to make me lose. or you can take another voracious head and make me lose my voracious head.

Dr R Dizzle

NautArch

replacing my voracious head?

Dr R Dizzle

+ 1

doppelgreener

@DrRDizzle it is a good effort

Dr R Dizzle

15:39

Speedbrain weeps

doppelgreener

@DrRDizzle and sizzles, as does hydrazor, and hydrazor's self-esteem

NautArch

I can still only pick head OR body? I'll take the superfast from yoU :)

Dr R Dizzle

Great, now I'm just a brain.

NautArch

you still have your voracious head!

come at me!

Dr R Dizzle

Brain attacks, somehow.

Yuuki

@NautArch So what are your bonuses to attack and defense now?

NautArch

d6

Dice Service

•

NautArch

+2 defense

doppelgreener

wait that's my turn!

so at this point, MegaThirteen is:
MegaThirteen: 4 goring horns, 3 psychic eyestalks, 2 bitey teeth, 2 breath weapons, 1 voracious learner, 2 superfast and transformation (+2 voracious learners used up)

Dr R Dizzle

15:41

@doppelgreener Oops

Yuuki

Remember, MegaThirteen's psychic eyestalks and breath weapons means that defenders take a -3 to their next roll.

NautArch

@doppelgreener but i took your voracious learner, so I have one back :)

doppelgreener

@DrRDizzle yeah ugh jeez give me a chance to totally flail about with my -3 first :D

@NautArch there we go

NautArch

i didn't take your eyestalk, i dsetroyed it and took your voracious head

Dr R Dizzle

Speedbrain voluntary leaves Monster Island, never to return. I've got to go :)

doppelgreener

15:42

@NautArch you take the feature you destroyed. you either destroy the eyestalk and take it, or destroy the voracious and take it.

> voracious learner (when you cause a defender to lose a feature, you may take the target's lost feature as your own; you can do this only once per time you have rolled this feature)

NautArch

4 goring horns, 3 psychic eyeballs, 2 bitey teeth, 1 voracious larner, 2 breath weapons, 2 superfasts, transformations

doppelgreener

you can't destroy one and take the other

NautArch

oh, sorry!

okay, so I have:

Yuuki

Yeah, that'd be incredibly rude.

doppelgreener

@Yuuki yeah ugh you'll get your chance to eat my eyeballs too just hold your horses

NautArch

15:43

4 goring horns, 3 psychic eyestalks, 2 biteyteeth, 1 voracious learner and 2 breath weapons along with 2 superfasts and a transformation

just -2 to your rolls

doppelgreener

marvelous

Yuuki

@NautArch I thought you started with 3 eyestalks?

doppelgreener

i still get -3 to my next roll because of those 3 psychic eyestalks you have (and had when you attacked)

NautArch

yup, -3

sorry, this guy is a lot to handle

doppelgreener

it's understandable. i'd have trouble with 13 heads' worth of thinking as well.

NautArch

15:44

i'll reroll my defense against your attack

doppelgreener

I don't need to acquire target, so I'm gonna go right in with an attack and do some chomps!!

I CANNOT CATCH UP WITH YOU TO DO THE CHOMPS.

NautArch

chompless

doppelgreener

running around teeth-gnashing is what i am doing instead

NautArch

you try to bite me, but the heads are moving too quickly. Your teeth gnash air.

doppelgreener

@DrRDizzle it's speedbrain's time to shine!

sorry, 8 (your radioactive bit took -1 form me)

doppelgreener

I HAVE TO PUT UP A FIGHTING CHANCE

@NautArch i didn't inflict a successful defence, so it's still a 9 :D

NautArch

oh, haha

doppelgreener

what do we lose each?

NautArch

15:50

i think ---speed---brain

damnit, how do you do that strikeout?

i think brain is dead

Yuuki

I think Speedbrain is dedzors.

Yuuki

@NautArch Strikethrough has to be the whole word.

doppelgreener

---speed--- brain

NautArch

ah

Yuuki

15:50

Can't strikethrough part of a word.

Unlike bold or italics***.

NautArch

i'll take out hydrazor's eyestalk and take it

no more voracious heads for MegaThirteen

doppelgreener

> 4 goring horns, 4 psychic eyestalks, 2 biteyteeth, and 2 breath weapons along with 2 superfasts and a transformation

doppelgreener

@NautArch wait, how? :O

Yuuki

@doppelgreener Transformation.

NautArch

transformation - maneuver to gain a new A/B feature

doppelgreener

@Yuuki oh!! :D

@Yuuki same :D

> 4 goring horns, 5 psychic eyestalks, 2 biteyteeth, and 2 breath weapons along with 2 superfasts

And we have now concluded our episode of "Nuke vs. Hermit Crab".

NautArch

it was still an 8

doppelgreener

hydrazor becomes suddenly so nervous it erupts in an atomic explosion.

NautArch

MegaThirteen sits atop the mountain. No one dares challenge. MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

doppelgreener

that was fun.

NautArch

not sure about that d6 reroll mechanic

it was fun, but clearly gets pretty lopsided

Yuuki

15:58

Maybe extra head should only result in 1-5.

Can't reroll extra head.

NautArch

yeah, I think that'd be more...reasonable
