Really? I thought it was you had to beat the other guy's roll.

Where's the +6 coming from again? I don't remember...

Its a little unclear. I though you had to beat an easy difficulty(DC - 15) to assist.

EDIT:Anyway, I don't think it makes much sense to have to beat the other guys roll. If you do beat the other guys roll, why not just use the higher roll, then?

Appkes Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:13 pm

@the player just rolls any check that might help (for example, if assisting with lockpicking the player might roll for Mechanics to help with the picking or History to provide a knowledge of locks). If the assisting player beats the DC, they provide a +2 bonus"
Quoted directly from the Gdoc.

The 6 is my mechanics skill for the assist check.

Well, if you're not doing any better than the guy doing it, how are you supposed to assist? (I personally interpreted beating the roll to mean equaling it at least, so you'd have to at least know as much as the other person to help out). The official rules where you beat the DC aren't any better. Beating an Easy difficulty could work... it proves you at least know something about it and can deal with the easier stuff... let's go with that. In which case Barabus provides a +2 to the check (even though the bomb was disarmed anyway).

Cardbo Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:21 pm

Alright, if the bomb is disarmed, thats probably okay. We've messed around with this enough already.

On a side, do we get any Harmony for the day?

Appkes Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:24 pm

XP for the XP god! Harmony for the DM Throne!

The Warrior of Many Faces Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:29 pm

Yes, you definitely deserve quite a bit of Harmony for all of this. You all get 1999 Harmony, just shy of level 3. (The reason for this being that you all need to decide on a boon before I can figure out how to work it into the story.)

Is Kal included in this? He sort of missed a good bit of action.

Appkes Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:44 pm

Would level Barabus up, but Gdrive is being stupid.

Edit: back up now
Traits: Dangerous, Die Another Day
Utility Talent:

Boon Vote: Ship. Now you may say, 'wait, why would we want a ship, this campaign is land based?' well, say that no longer. I present:

The Land-ship!

20% cooler
Crushing Blow

@7/9 There's only 1 combat trait gained from level 2...

Yes, Kal is included, since I'm pretty sure the whole party gets Harmony.

Combat Traits
Talented - Draw Blood

Utility Talent
Freaky Knowledge - Artifacts, Bomb Disarming

I Claim the Derp!
Because A: versatility
and B: Hilarious failure potential
(Derp
Rolling a 2 or 3 counts as a critical failure the same way rolling a 1 usually does. You begin the day with an additional Magic Point.)

For le combat:
Talented.
With which I choose:
[-10] Blaze (Royal Command)
You and up to four allies can take a Standard Action. If that action deals damage, it deals 1d8 additional damage.

I was going to suggest an assistant with bomb disarming skill for boon, but that's been filled Razz

With that said, either a Friend in High Places, or a Wondrous Treasure would be nice

Yes. Well, its a good idea.

Anyway, as for the Level3 Boon, I suggest either Adorable Assistant or Wondrous Treasure. We might run across something soon. Or remodel the Doombot into a Wondrous Treasure or Adorable Assistant. The Adorable part may need some work, there.

Alright, but no more thermite, okay?

kajisora Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:32 pm

By the way, what do we do with the robot? do we have to roll to extract the parts we found, or did we acquire them while we were poking around?

You'll have to roll Mechanics to get any useful stuff out without damaging it.

Thermite? We might have access to LASERS soon! ^^
No worries, I'm not planning on any such actions.

Also, does Cheese have a magic point left?
If so, Might be best to use that on a mechanics check for the doomparts before everyone goes to sleep

Nope. Cheese used his earlier for Tons of Fun.

As far as I remember thatwas yesterday.

Also Vote for the Land Ship!
Why? In a hangar on the edge of town, a door has been left open. Inside, is one of Doom's secret Landships.

Landships are awesome, but are we actually going anywhere?
I would assume we're not actually going after doom himself yet (he's probably laughing at our antics in his castle of doomy DOOM, all the way from Latveria), and for most areas in equestria we can just use the railroads.
Besides, of the lvl 9 boons (assuming we get to that level), the airship seems the most interesting: that would make the ship kinda outdated.

~~If we're going to go the ship, route, why not go with airship? We could get a Zepplin or a blimp or something.~~

Forgot this is a level 9 boon.
