    Damage system has the issue of requiring two hits. May not seem bad, but for things like, I don't know, massive, city-wide explosions the issue is that, unless it Crits and kills everyone, it won't kill anyone.

    New System has a separate "Hit" roll which you throw after you deal Stress. Compare Hit roll to Critical+Target's Stress and Other Modifiers, and, if you rolled under that, you Wound them. You also compare the Hit roll against your weapon's Lethality, making it a little cleaner.

    Basically, the same rules 100% has.

    I guess wounds are like those Traits from the other system, just you know, they will probably have bad effects.

    Like minor, specific versions of Hard Knock Life.

    This.

    But I'm worried wounds will become common occurrence and really bog people down.

    oh, I actually messed up on fixing Strength on the wiki, meant to change the Agility damage bonus to the Defending penalty thing and accidentally changed Strength instead. so Strength is the same as Agility + a Lethality bonus now?

    and what about the Ad? or should I just take Adorable?

    We're finishing off a round of missions so now is actually not a bad time.

    We're also in the middle of a new rules system implementation. So everyone's pretty new to it.

    I meant Brutality, Lock. Mutant Strength and Agility do entirely different things, and are balanced as is. Brutality gains a the Lethality bonus.

    I use the Wizard's Dice Roller, Marsh.

    I'm glad people were cool with the current damage, but it was sort of fundamentally broken, for the reasons noted above. It would mean that, unless someone Crit (which was a low chance) you would have to hit someone twice - which doesn't make a lot of sense for high-powered explosions and, y'know, tank rounds.


    Yay! Orik might come back!

    Wench! Wolf's head screams as it throbs, and he jumps up from the floor of the elevator, no longer able to stand idly by. "I say," Wolf coughs, "It's a good thing I'm a natural swimmer, what!" he growls, grinning, as he gallops over the edge into the pool, slamming his weight down on the mutant queen, gripping onto her as he forces her to the bottom of the deep end. "Rarrghblarghblgharglh" the bubbles come streaming out of his mouth as he wrenches her face into the suction vacuum.


    Going with Mutant Brute Caste Mutant Rage.

    I think I'm gonna be at 30% stress after this action with rad poisoning

    her high [P] and decent seem to make me think that a [M] attack should knock her the fuck out

    and that's not including tetsuo

    and I'm not totally sure I know how tetsuo works

    is it like a +100 modifier to the attack roll?

    [P]30% 20% [M]30% Stress 0% RAD RAD Poisoned


    While waiting for Bro, Chet can't help but think about Marrisylda/

    "Man, she was a real jerk, huh Wolf? I mean, she ignored me like I wasn't even there. Me, the giant floating head. Plus, what was her deal with humans? If she so much better then a human then why don't she... uh.. why don't she say that to that mustachioed man's face? Don't know why those other mutants followed her. we aren't the mutants who like humans, are we?" Chet thinks about this for a few moments and comes to a decision. "You know what? I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind." Chet storms off back to where Bro is.

    Chet enters the room to see Marrisylda dive out the window. "H-hey! No, You're not leaving until I've had my say!"

    Floating as fast as he can toward the window, Chet latches his mind onto the falling mutant's ankle and hauls her back up. Keeping her away from the window but above cement and not water, Chet smiles.

    "Hello, my name is Chet. You probably didn't notice me because you're a stuck-up bitch. Also I think you're wrong about humans!" Chet says with a 'What do you think about that?' face.

    Chet turns to the group and, having wanted to say this for a long time, says, "Mind if I take out the trash?"

    Since it's a bonus to the ability and the ability is factored into your damage and attack, it's a bonus to both.
