Ruins of Khazan - A Rumbles RPG - Sign Up/System Test

Well, that was nonsensical, and I have no idea how that particular post got into this forum. Edit it out.

I was confused as to why you would want to refund a pie

A tad weird to read, I expect!

Well, it could be a lemon pie.

And as Meat Loaf sang, “Life is a lemon and I want my money back.”

Nik - You’ve obviously assessed how Body, Spirit & Mind affects work with Persistent Techniques, but have I missed clarification on the Recovery ones, e.g. HP & Latent ENR Recovery?

Are they even doable as Persistent?

[Sharpandpointies]

Clever, clever Beadle.

… but do the math, as well. <-- Edit: sounds snotty, sorry - I'd had a drink and wasn't thinking about tone.

Persistent or mundane, it takes up a technique action per turn. And, if need be, you can do the same mundane twice in a turn.

Don’t worry - it didn’t sound snotty at all.

So what you’re saying is, why a) pay extra for the persistent technique, and b) limit your other options for the turn, when you could get exactly the same benefit every turn without those issues…?

Pretty much that. The persistent technique does have a serious impact on the price of other techniques being used (assuming one has multiple techniques). One could easily get as much out of honed technique, usable every turn and can also granting a Status Effect (defensive), PURGE or CONTROL being good choices (CONTROL being especially fun if you need to use the same technique again the next turn, PURGE for obvious reasons...).

Or one might just take a mundane one (le cheapo option). And be capable of doing it TWICE in a turn if badly hurt and needing a real boost (if one has two tech actions).

However...maybe you've spotted a reason I haven't (you often do), so I'm curious.

[Beadle]

Honestly, no. I just saw that there weren’t rules for Persistent versions of those techs, so I just wondered.

My brain is still slowly acclimatising to the rules so I’ve yet to start really stress-testing.

Small update.

Miburo has contacted me and says he's still up for playing. Says he should be able to put some work into Maximo in the coming days.

Ergh, my intention was that they weren't available for Persistent.

File those to be looked at this week, along with the final Body Offensive Techniques.

[Sharpandpointies]

Then don't worry about making 'em persistent. ^_^ Spare yourself the pain.

Given that persistent techniques steal a Technique action to maintain, having a Persistent Healing or Recovery tech isn't all that great, math-speaking. It's better in some ways to just have a honed or mundane healing technique and use that technique action to fire it off every round. The only advantage to a persistent one in this case would be for Epic techniques, allowing them to get the Greater Status Effect benefit for a cheaper price than a regular Epic technique (also less of a healing bonus, but if it's the status effect that is the focus, then...).

Old Man Miburo lives.

Probably still recovering from his oral defense and subsequent afterparty. Or you know, the MiburoSleep™ cometh.

[Sharpandpointies]

So we have potentially EIGHT people.

Let's see how many we end up with! ^_^

[Postmania]

Can't wait for it to start!

You're Gonna Carry That Weight - Cormac

Name: Nanashi

Nanashi stands at the barely above average height of 165cm, her raven hair jutting haphazardly out from underneath the brim of a tattered straw jingasa. Her outfit typically consists of a black leather trench coat, tattered slim-fit jeans, a pair of battered leather combat boots, and a black tanktop; with a pack of cigarettes jutting out from one of several pockets.

...wait a minute, is that Vivian?! >:U

[Sharpandpointies]

Well, huge thanks to granpagen who has finished Krys's portrait(s). O_o And has done a fine job of encapsulating them! I will post (from my phone, because work doesn't like Imgur) them momentarily.

Thank you to everyone who has tossed their hats in the ring for pics as well! I feel the process really helped me better nail down my character's appearance.
