Of course, he's also likely to perform a Heroic Sacrifice long before then because he's kind of Robot Jesus like that. :P

Any fight Sisitu gets in, she'll either summon a meat shield or summon something to get her out of there. Just because she can't be permanently killed, doesn't make her a risk-taker. :p


I don't even know for sure who I'll use next arc, :lol:

I don't think they'd be irresistible mind-controllers even with full Charisma.

I guess so, but someone just hard to resist then. And with full charisma, I believe they'd get a +5 bonus, which makes all their actions pretty much successful unless they have a major penalty on them.

This is a D20 we're talking about. It's a significant bonus, yes, but not a game-breaking one. Or at least, so I think.

My god...

Don't expect him to show up very often, though. I'm pretty much planning for him to show up out of nowhere at the midway point, fight and defeat the mid-boss and then die from a Heroic Sacrifice during said mid-boss.

So it wouldn't be on the same scale Olthar uses? I guess that certainly changes it.

Olthar uses a D6.

Any +5 bonus on a D6 would be an utterly bullshit gamebreaker bonus. :P.

Not necessarily. Later, you're going to be fighting enemies with attack and defense bonuses higher than that.

I'm mainly only going to be using two of them, and two more are only occasionally going to pop up. So, it's really more like two and two-halves characters.

Well, it's not exactly something unique...

Besides I assume there'll be lots of penalties as well, so wouldn't it all boil down to the same as if you had small bonuses?

You will get better armor and equipment, but the enemies will ramp up in difficulty faster. ;)

I like the system. Maybe like in some RPG's, speed modifies your melee combat attack speed, possibly creating criticals?

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Unless you mean later in the aftermath.

Ah.

Sadly, none of my characters really have much to do with James. I don't think I'll be able to make too much of a reaction.

Just speaking for myself here though. :)
