OOC Chat - Session 3

[Jo'ren Rath]

Good luck. You're fighting a Darth from the Dark Council, it should be mental

[Dapper Dog]

For Move like any Force power it is versus the target's Discipline if not a minion.

Pretty sure that is how it's been ruled before. Can't remember from Death's Shadow, but I know that's how it was done against Lord Nemerosch in the Kaggath.

[Nekoinu]

I don't think I did it then, actually. I believe I just made Adversary increase the on-hit.

[Zeno Deathwright]

it makes sense with force sensetives for it to be opposed, and ranged attack for non, since they can't actually push it back with the force

*nods*

[Dapper Dog]

It is an axtrapolation of the Force rules.

[Sylvain Torsin]

I also was doing it v Thy and Baes as you instructed then. Against their defense that is.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Like Kylo Ren and Rey both reaching for the gun!

I mean... lightsaber.

I didn't realize till now just need to adjust your roll.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Okay.

[Dapper Dog]

Okay.

6 challenge dice and defense as well.

[Dapper Dog]

Darth Baras is not impossible but you are trying to take down one of the most powerful Sith in the Empire, he wasn't going to fall over because you stabbed him once.

I have calibrated the fight to be difficult, it will test the team but you have the numbers, essentially 5 versus 3... well maybe 4. Killing minions is always in your best interest.

Ignore them at your peril.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Well... we did target the minions with the only option we had before they attacked... And then Baras was going to get another attack at the end of this round and one at the beginning of next round. The dice say we have no shot... And then he has cortosis to make our one chance not work at all.

Magpie was taken out before the fight started... and with her maybe we had a chance.. Including having to take the slicer out by round 2, this was a logistical impossibility.

This fight is far too difficult imho... We're just being executed by something that is impossibly too hard.

Baras is not solo here so he only gets one action.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

I am still not rating this crazy-difficult as the Shade fight... and there we even managed to get some advantage with Destiny for advantageous start (the nearby getaway speeder), and got close with Stealth with some lucky rolls.

I fully agree that going up against a Darth like Baras is going to require an extremly solid strike force.

[Sylvain Torsin]

I respectfully disagree... Shade shoot 3 of you in the first round and then yes... it would be similar.

[Dapper Dog]

Full disclosure if you choose to aid Baras you would be fighting Magpie and the terrorists, Baras would have been dispatched this is a fight for the players not the NPCs.

[Dapper Dog]

I respectfully disagree... Shade shoot 3 of you in the first round and then yes... it would be similar.

Shade was way more powerful than the Baras fight, trust me.

[Dapper Dog]

As it stands, you can always run.

Just know you are a traitor unless you kill Baras.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Either way... this level of difficulty is not fair to the players at this XP level imho. Especially since I was mandated to be here...

And running away isn't really a viable IC option unless I want to murder everything my character is.

*shrug*

*looks back at Shade's dicepool*

*and her Vicious modifiers that nearly insta-disintigrated her from existence*

*shudders*

Excuse me while I take a trip to Dxun to pick up some Orbalisk armor... >_>

You were there because it is your story, I would have felt bad if you could not be there.

I made a choice. I am not trying to execute you and I made it clear what each choice would entail. You chose to fight Baras and become traitors.

The very guy trying to save everyone and the peace. You chose to fight him, it was a conscious choice.

[Sylvain Torsin]

I didn't choose to fight a foe that we can't damage, hits 3 of us a turn ignoring our defense, and has more minions than we have numbers, and have to to it in under 7 turns or under 2 if rolls don't go our way.

That's just too much to ask anyone to 'choose' to do.

[Dapper Dog]

Combat stands, he isn't invincible.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sorry to all of you in that thread. I dragged you to your death apparently.

*hugs for Layne*
