M&m: W.o.t.p [commentary thread]

[Chaotic Void]

Well... that's unfortunate about Dr. Paramour, TK. Hopefully she wasn't completely atomized, since the toughness save failed by about 30.

[Ben Zwycky]

[Would ignition be able to resurrect her?]

[Tanakh Keeper]

It was my first attempt at a M&M character. I think I put too much into powers and not enough into saving throws.

The way Wild described my death, I sound pretty well atomized.

[wildrow12]

Not atomized, per se. But your body has taken a severe pounding.

[Chaotic Void]

It was my first attempt at a M&M character. I think I put too much into powers and not enough into saving throws.

That tends to happen when you make your first character in a new system... a common example I've used is my first character, Emerald. I completely misunderstood power arrays at the time and wound up wasting 18 power points (more than a whole Power Level's worth).

Of course, hope isn't lost with Dr. Paramour. With Some Extra Effort/Hero Points, Ignition will probably be able to do some patching up... Key emphasis on the 'hopefully'

[Thersites]

I have the Ultimate Effort feat for Resurrection and two points in the Luck feat. If that can't do it, I don't know what can.

Also, I doubt that wild would throw an irreversible death at use because Ben was slightly trigger-happy.

[Ben Zwycky]

I'm going to be away for a week from today. If possible, I would like to give Ignition use of my lucky charm for the rest of our time down in the crucible, it should still have 3 hero points left in it. Is that doable

[Thersites]

Not necessary. I have at least 2 hero points left at this point.

[Chaotic Void]

I wouldn't bother... it'll probably take us a week to break out of the cell.

[wildrow12]

Sorry for the delay folks. IRL stuff. Will be back on the 29th.

[Chaotic Void]

In retrospect, maybe I should not have mused as to which of the party members would get turned into Chunky Salsa. Hopefully, we can bring him back.

... Aaaaaaaaand something tells me he should have remained that way.

[Ben Zwycky]

Or we should have at least brought him back before entering the monster creation chamber. So that's the end of Nightshade for good, now? No more Sea Shadow or any of his other resources? That has to qualify for a complication at least, doesn't it? Having your leader killed and transformed into an undead abomination bent on destroying you all?

[wildrow12]

[QUOTE=Ben Zwycky;3499340] No more Sea Shadow or any of his other resources? /QUOTE]

?

No, the Sea Shadow and all onboard are yours, as before. What, did you think Nightshade was a loadbearing NPC (IE: everything he had blows up when he is no more)?

[Ben Zwycky]

Just in the game mechanic, somebody's power points have to cover those sorts of things, storywise maybe there would be some sort of security lockdown that only he could release to operate it or something. Glad to hear that's not the case. It's going to significantly change the team dynamic, though.
