DFRPG / Re: Cost to ignore Armor?

Why would any character who's going into combat not take this power?

Because it's not especially good.

Look at the numbers; it's usually just a normal stunt.

Bear in mind, the main benefit of Toughness is the extra stress boxes. The armour is not as big a deal.

With Mythic Toughness and power 6+ armour enchanted items being as rare as they are, it should be fine for 1 Refresh. Tips the balance a bit in very-high-power games, but probably in a positive direction.

It makes sense.

I do have a basic understanding of DFA. I read the book. But not carefully, and not recently. And I never played it or brewed for it. So I can't really provide mechanical analysis.

I don't know enough about DFA to provide useful input, so I'll just say that these are pretty cool.

Got permission by PM, so these are now available in the backup folder, the wiki, and the resources board.

In the RPG casters actually get more dependent on items as they grow stronger, though.

Anyway, there have been some attempts at custom powers for this kind of thing. No promises WRT balance.

Stress and consequences can trip people up; might be worth talking about those.

Interesting idea. I feel like the effects are overly minor, though.

If I have to see it every time I look at my character sheet, I'd like it to mean a little more than a very occasional small bonus.

I suspect you're overcosting it; the base power seems like a pretty bad buy even at Submerged. It comes into its own at really high Refresh, I guess, but how many games are played at that level? And buying the upgrade multiple times is never gonna be worth it.

Perhaps 1 Refresh to exclude yourself, 2 Refresh to exclude any character, and 3 Refresh to exclude any number of characters?

Perhaps his Toughness could be pierced when his vanity is compromised; that is, when he's humiliated.

Lovely.

There are still people playing, but not as many as there once were. Which is why your work has been so shamefully neglected here.

Would you like me to add this to the Resources board and / or the wiki?

The dead walk!

For a value of "the dead" which includes people who haven't posted in a while, of course.

Here's the current list of outstanding requests:

-Bullseye from the Daredevil tv show
-Sanji
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Thumbelina
-Po

Anyway, I'm only minimally familiar with Po, Bullseye, and Thumbelina. And my knowledge of Obi-Wan is limited to watching the first six movies years ago. I'd want a rundown on each before writing them up.

I can do Sanji easily enough. Here's a Sanji who just joined the Straw Hats:

Not sure it's quite right, but it's a decent first attempt.

DFRPG / Re: Question about the Red Court Catch
« on: October 10, 2019, 06:27:25 PM »
You could also try some kind of "critical hit" thing, like "any attack which hits by a margin of 4+, made by someone who knows about the weakness" or "any attack which rolls at least three +s on the attack roll".

That kind of thing doesn't play super nicely with the Catch cost formula, but that formula is an imperfect guideline anyway.

Amazing. I assumed you guys had stopped ages ago.

Kinda makes my day to know that you're still going.

OK, here's the revised Earp's Colt:

Looks good to me.

Ring of the Nibelungs [-1]

Solid.

Quote from: Mr. Death on August 16, 2019, 05:31:54 PM
[-1] Hunter’s Mark: When you wound a target using the Goblin Crossbow, you can track it more effectively by instinct as the crossbow seeks to finish what it started. If you inflict a consequence using the crossbow, you gain +2 to Survival or Investigation to track the target until that consequence has healed.

This seems really narrow. +2 to track anyone you want to track would be a perfectly fair stunt; tracking's not really that common.
