    I've read the combat rules for mage about three times in a row and I still have no idea how that shit works. As far as I can tell you roll and then they roll and then pretty much one of you dies regardless of other factors.

    That's because you're reading the instruction guide to Oregon Trail.

    I think it's like

    roll initiative
    winner rolls strength + brawl to punch a guy for say six dice
    Gets 4 successes
    Spend one success to target, so do 3 x strength damage level
    defender rolls stamina, each success negates one of those damage levels

    But I mean, if the attacker has 3 strength and the defender fails their soak roll, that will pretty much kill them outright.

    Is the idea of a fortitude save that if you succeed the attack just bounced off your manly pecs or something

    most fortitude saves are against environmental hazards or fatigue.

    So like, make a fortitude save against going unconscious from this poison or from losing strength temporarily etc.

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    it's a measure of how hearty you are, basically.

  • Tommy2HandsTommy2Hands what is this where am i Registered User regular
    every hit should require a fortitude save

    you ever been punched in the face? that shit sucks

    You should play with Piggy. I told her she could create any character she wanted and to let her imagination run riot. She came back with "has a bakery" and "hair down to bottom". I repeatedly have to remind her that her character can do magic. Any kind of conflict is derided as "too much bashing" and met with demands that we get to the "good bit" which is the day to day running of a small bakery.

    You got a 3? You didn't allow the dough sufficient rest time, you fool!

    Her baking rolls are always incredible and her other rolls are always abominable. She got five successes at a bake sale and developed a transcendent cake that fulfilled the hopes and dreams of all who ate it. Later she tried to bandage a head wound and nearly decapitated herself.

    you don't get sick or nauseous or winded easily is how fortitude works

    it's essentially your health level, not really fitness

    I had the mob come round for a shakedown and then sat screaming in exasperation at her suggested solutions to being pistol whipped
    "I offer to bake him a nice cake..."
    "you have life 3! turn into a fucking tiger!"
    "he wouldn't like that. he might like a cake and then decide not to pistol whip me again"
    "he doesn't care! turn his gun into sand! teleport a dessert spoon into his brain!"
    "what's his name? I could write it in icing. please roll to find out his name and if he's allergic to gluten"

    I would play a baking-based RPG. This surprises no one.

    About $170 to get it shipped to California, standard UPS ground.

    I'm going to be up all night trying to think of a really good reason to not buy this thing.

    did she know that if she also had prime 2 she could've willed baked goods into existence

    baked goods so grand humans would doubt they could feasibly exist

    Forget it, she can't have any more spheres. She went insane min maxing to get extra spheres at character creation. She tried to take a five point flaw of addiction. I asked her what she was addicted to. The answer?

    Spheres.

    spheres are your rank in a certain school of magic for Mage

    Magic in Mage is insane. With forces 2 matter 2 (which you can have at character creation) you can turn the sound of someone's breath into lead to choke them. With matter 2 you could sculpt a statue out of clay and then turn it into solid diamond. Then with life 3 you could bring it to life. With correspondence of I think 4 a guy could shoot at you but his gun barrel is curved through space time and the bullet goes into the back of his head. With time 5 correspondence 5 a guy could shoot at you and kill his own grandfather and never be born.

    A typical first thing for a player to do in mage is win the lottery and get resources 5.

    Oh, my bad, I thought Mage meant DnD, but it's the one set in WoD isn't it? I should have known that because I did very briefly try to play Vampire in high school. I was terrible at it though.

    <You've been given a tip that the bartender of this night club has information about the informant that you were sent to find>

    Oh, umm, I walk up to the bartender and say, "hey."

    "Hi"

    "So, this is a pretty nice spot you have here."

    "Yea."

    "Lot's of people."

    "Uhuh."

    <ten minutes later>

    "So, uhh, have you seen any strange people around here lately?"

    At which point the DM yells at me to just ask the guy a straight fucking question so we can get on with the game.

    Sticks on

    If you're not frustrating your DM into just telling you things you're not playing the game right.
