Someone's forgetting the hand laser runs on a battery installed in the torso, so I hope they can have up to eight torsos too.

We totally need to face an Exhuman with eight torsos.

Dracorion · 05-31-2010, 08:53 PM

Right, so I got a little carried away with Ellen's death squad.

But hey, I can settle for four or five creepies carrying one Hand Laser each.

Overcast, you are so going to get us killed by creating some invincible super enemy making crazy suggestions like that, though it would be something awesome I have to admit.

Also, that's a pretty good way to deal with people you don't know greeting you.

I can't think of many tactical advantages granted by having seven additional torsos.

Aerozord · 05-31-2010, 09:00 PM

hey, cant I spend a point of moxie to turn that into a 09? I wont this time as I wont waste moxie to avoid damage I should have healed before it comes up, and I doubt it will escelate, just checking

Lots of extra DUR because of all the redundant organ systems?

You could, but it would still be a failure. It'd be a highly successful failure, but Eclipse Phase uses a blackjack system. The higher your roll is, the more likely it is to win in an opposed roll-off, but the less likely you'll get additional success. If you roll low, you'll get a spectacular success, only if your opponent fails (or manages to roll lower). This keeps critical (Correction: Exceptional) hits low among people with high degrees of skill.

That said, spending a point of moxie to dodge a little girl slapping you because you were oogling her inappropriately strikes me as rather trivial.

Krylo: Eh, bleeding... Also you fail biology forever.

not sure I understand, but I'll get the hang of it later on. and sorry if I delayed things too much. I thought we were posting as us already being on the station interacting with one another, not in-transit

Haha, you had to put where you were, Nyx hadn't have arrived on the station(not exactly)yet so when you put out there you greeted her, you put yourself in transit.
