BlueNinja Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just noticed something that the Inspired can do that I don't think the average Nova can match.First max out your dice pool for a specific task. With ability mastery and a specialty, this gives you 12 dice. (Not too shabby.)Make sure it's for a task that you can apply your Intuitive or Reflective facet extra-dice to, raising your die pool for one action to 17 dice.Then drop one point of temporary Inspiration, and double your die pool for a single action. Your die pool is now 34 dice. ::huh Short of Divis-like levels of quantum and matching megas, I don't think novas can compete with this for one die roll. ::laugh I'm really starting to like Adventure more and more.

Alex Green Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 That's an average of 13.6 succ.RE: Die Pools with AbbyI'll have to sit down and do the math, but I think it can be done. ::devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I see three ways this can be done in Abby:Way #1: Might (Cheesy)Strength 5Might 5Specialty 1Luck 5(16 dice)Mega-Strength 5 (25 autosucc which we will count as dice)Total: 41Way #2: Seduction Roll (based on Style):Appearance 5Mega-App 5Style 5Mega-App bonus to Style 5Specialty 1Luck 5Eufiber Attuned 3(29 dice)Weave 5Wits 5Mega-Wits 5Averages 8.5 succ on a weave roll, which can be used as extra dice for StyleSub Total: 37.5 diceTwo Enhancements give +3 auto succ (which might be dropped down to dice or at least should be counted)Total: 43.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphysician Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 You see, its tricks like this that make me think full-grown paramorphs would be competitive with psychamorphs and eximorphs. Eximorphs have the quantum powers and mega-atts, psychamorphs have the psi powers ( if you use the TPG rules options, they don't need anything more ), and paramorphs get the obscene skill capability and luck.

Alex Green Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hmm... looking back, I can increase that Style roll by another 2.4 dice. Luck double dips because it effects both Style and Weave, and we could have a speciality on the Weave roll.So that's 45.9, and if we have Qualities as well that's adding another 10% or effectively another 4.6 dice for a total of 50.5.That's something like 26 succ (megas and auto succ increase the odds).One wonders what 26 succ on a style based seduction roll looks like.

SkyLion Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I remember back when I used to play DnD, about the hottest thing one could find would be a Nymph. To see one meant that you had to make a save or be stuck blind. Should she remove her clothing, you would have to save or die...,, Hmmm...So a character build with Alex's dice pool config above, a permanent strobe and perhaps a reflixive or triggered "disintegrate" or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphysician Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Nah, just give the person a couple new derangements, amounting to "obsessed with ___" and "addicted to ____'s presence," of sufficient magnitude so that being outside of your presence triggers depression, and ultimately, suicide.

Alex Green Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 And Divis probably has something like this... of course it still has to go through his -8 succ to social rolls, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut810 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I actually had that conversation with someone at one point (Wakinyan from N!). We came to the conclusion that if you get 10+ successes over the resisted, then you could successfully make a straight man gay...or bird griffin thing.
