Dr. Zero's Last Hurrah (OOC) *Finished*

[SDarkshine]

Yeah... a more socially apt character **cough** Deje **cough** might be able to sway him.

Who, me?!? I could give it a try...hmm..maybe it could work with him...

BTW, that mentioning of Zashin...
...I see what you did there .

[sweetja713]

Sure just cause you all wanna handle this peacefully. Can I change the intimidation check to coercing then and hold off on the attack?

[Lord Fell]

Yep. That's the "bonus" of going last.

[roguescribner]

I'm back. I'll try to catch up as soon as I can and then get up a post when it's appropriate.

re: attacking an object...
What I'm reading suggests to me that... if you choose to make an attack roll, you get an automatic Crit if you hit what you're attacking. At the same time... it doesn't indicate what happens if you miss. I'm sort of leaning towards a miss result means you actually miss -or at least fail to hit the object in a meaningful way.

The Forcefield has an active defense of Zero (0), and is Huge (-2), so it can be hit on a result of 8 or better. Spartan's 5 ain't going to cut it. Before I adjudicate the forcefield damage, I'd like some input as to whether that's correct or appropriate.

[sweetja713]

That's kind of the way I always interpreted it. You don't have to make an attack roll for most stationery objects it'd be just making a routine check but if you do make the check and hit it's a finishing attack (crit). If you make the attack and don't hit then I'd say you either miss or if it makes no sense to miss (it's a huge fricken field) do no harm.

[roguescribner]

Yeah, a miss I'd either rule that the attack missed the target or hit the target but as a glancing blow or somesuch (no damage). I purposely rolled because I'd prefer to take the force field out in one or two turns if at all possible.

[Gazman]

I'm OK with my miss being a miss. I took that risk when I decided to roll instead of auto hitting.

[Lord Fell]

@Sweetja
Are you going to change L'Char's action?

[sweetja713]

Already changed it in the original post but I can certainly move it to the end of the posts since I'm last in init.

[roguescribner]

Sonuvah...

[Gazman]

Hey, GM. What's the result of Spartan's attempt to demoralize Dr. Zero here?

*Edit* I guess it doesn't actually matter since he didn't make any rolls besides the failed persuasion.

[Lord Fell]

Uhm... good catch, but also entirely right. He wouldn't have been effected in a mechanical way.
Save vs. Demoralize (DC17) (1d20+10=24)
Dr. Zero gives not one tuppence for your insolence, boy!

[roguescribner]

I guess Matrix will try, try again. Hopefully there's a better result this round. Save for something else happening...

[Lord Fell]

Uhm...

You guys are aware that he just unleashed a squad of killer robots on you?
