Holy shit, you guys…
Barbarian is down to 2 hp and has just botched a roll charging into a room full of two clockwork constructs.
Me: OK, they both point their arms at you and their fists detach and fly towards you at high velocity. What do you do?
Ranger: I take aim at one of the fists and try to deflect it.
Me: Sounds like a called shot. Roll +dex.
Ranger: 11!
Me: Your arrow hits the fist in just the right spot to deflect it past the Barbarian. Barbarian: there is one more fist flying towards you. What do you do?
Barbarian: I punch the fist!
Me: Roll defy danger + str.
Barbarian: Uhh, 4.
Me: Oh wait… don’t you think you’re indulging your appetite for destruction:?
Barbarian: Hell yeah! (rolls d8 + d6): 12!
Me: Your fist makes contact with the constructs as it flies towards you. There is a loud thunderclap, and suddenly you feel the spray of a million iron filings across your body and face as the pulverized construct fists explodes on impact.
So no damage from the exploding fist, then? Not even some sexy scarification?
awesome
I love it when games suddenly go over the top.
I’m trying harder to be a fan of the characters… his character was from a tribe that solve all of their problems by punching.
He leveled up that session and took Signature Weapon: Fists as a multiclass move. Go figure.
Scott Diehl Well, as long as he wants to be rich and famous, and most importantly; willing to die trying, then I guess he’s the perfect meat shield for the rest of the party.
