all g
can you do me a favor?
explain how aptitude as a stat works. I know it's not how strong an ability is, rather the control of it. Narratively it's said, 'god tier beats god tier', but how is that gonna be handled? How would one roll their end, agi, or ref against an apt roll against different tiers?
etc
LooperToday at 9:31 AM
Alrigty then, a lot of it is story driven but apititue is a stat that could allow a lower tier to beat a god tier
everyone in teh tabletop is gunna have lower apititute
you're control and understanding of abilities
allows you to be more creative
yeah your ability can't do much as a god tier
but you can use it creatively
FractalToday at 9:32 AM
Mhm, more me just wondering mathematically how it's meant to work as a system.
LooperToday at 9:32 AM
just roll it and then I create a story with it : 3
you tell me what you are trying to do
and based on how well you roll I'll tell you what happened
there's no math to it XD
FractalToday at 9:33 AM
Like deciding "oh a low tier rolled high on end but a god tier rolled low on their ability roll" how does it work? It's still a truck hitting someone, is the idea right? How would we decide what the truck did, if we don't base it to rolls.
LooperToday at 9:33 AM
it's purely narative
you mean both a god tier nd a low tier is gunna get hit by a truck?
is that what you're asking?
FractalToday at 9:34 AM
no like saying a power
of a god tier is like a truck
it's big, and it does damage right?
LooperToday at 9:34 AM
I would need to know what the god tier is trying to do
FractalToday at 9:35 AM
let's say it's dynamo
trying to make an explosion
LooperToday at 9:35 AM
and the low tier is like blink let's say
FractalToday at 9:35 AM
no no
LooperToday at 9:35 AM
their powers really matter
FractalToday at 9:35 AM
let's just say
LooperToday at 9:35 AM
in this senario
if they are both rolling aptitute
FractalToday at 9:35 AM
ignoring powers i'm not worried about that
i'm more wondering
LooperToday at 9:35 AM
no frac
I need to know teir power
to explain it to you
FractalToday at 9:35 AM
how would one roll end, agi, or ref
LooperToday at 9:35 AM
._.
FractalToday at 9:36 AM
Okay, well go on then.
LooperToday at 9:36 AM
apititute is way different
than all the other stats
it's a narrative power. However fast an explosion happens, is how fast it's gunna be
aptitude is how well they control it, so how big it is, where it went, what sort of their power (for dynamo it should have multiple possibilities).
depending on all of that
each check wil be different
if they rolled really low and accidently flung it in the air
they don't need to roll anything agianst it
they woudl ahve exploded themselves
they could have done it to another building
thus leading to a different check on if that building is gunna land on you
god tiers will hit like a truck if they an land their ability
you are all in first year, your abilities are random
there is even a chance for a low tier to accidently blink into the ability
or blink smack into a wall
rather than getting away XD
FractalToday at 9:39 AM
hrmm, but he rolled low, so even with a low roll dynamo can make a building fall
LooperToday at 9:40 AM
yeah
but his control of it sucks
so it could have been a tiny explosion
or an overly huge one
at somwhere random
depending on what they wanted to do
like...
FractalToday at 9:41 AM
well then lets use creation as an example
LooperToday at 9:41 AM
If someone said, I want to make a small explosion on his cuffs to set him free.
and rolled low.
He could accidently cause a huge explosion on the person, or
accidently threw that explsion on himself
FractalToday at 9:41 AM
trying to go gilgamesh and send a volley of weapons to impale
how would that work?
LooperToday at 9:42 AM
If you rolled low, you'd probably be only able to make way lessthan what you were trying, or you made just the same amount but they are all fucked up and not very stable. or you lost control of them and while you're making them they are just falling (this one is more like you rolled low, but almost there though).
FractalToday at 9:45 AM
so let's say someone rolls high on this or low
and the other person does get hit
how would we determine how much damage is done to them?
LooperToday at 9:47 AM
Well it's all narrative
depends on teh ability
if it was neon and they hit someone
it would cause them to get really cold
also if it was a sword neon
they would also get cut
depending on what their natural durrability is
FractalToday at 9:47 AM
well no
use creation as an example
LooperToday at 9:48 AM
Okayyy o-o
FractalToday at 9:48 AM
please XD sorry just trying to wrap my head around it
LooperToday at 9:48 AM
doing the sword of babalon?
FractalToday at 9:48 AM
sure
LooperToday at 9:48 AM
question frac
what would happen if someone got hit by that
normally?
that's how it would be
FractalToday at 9:48 AM
well i'd say it depends where they get hit
how much hits them
but my question is how to determine how much and where they get hit
LooperToday at 9:49 AM
I can manipulate it if need be
but if they were all hitting in teh same dirrection
and where royal or somene was aiming it specifically
FractalToday at 9:49 AM
what if in-general they weren't aiming for them
LooperToday at 9:49 AM
they I would assume a bunch of sword are gunna take over teh area of a normal person
FractalToday at 9:49 AM
just sent a volley at them
like were aiming at them but no specific place
LooperToday at 9:49 AM
they would get speared in a few locations
I'd just get them to roll 1d100
FractalToday at 9:49 AM
alright, alright
LooperToday at 9:49 AM
to see how bad of a condition they were
FractalToday at 9:49 AM
I think i'm getting it a bit
LooperToday at 9:50 AM
it's luck at that point
FractalToday at 9:50 AM
it's less a concrete system on how stuff is happening
and more
"well let's say this happens"
LooperToday at 9:50 AM
narrative : 3
not really
it's more..
realistic?
do you know how many times a random like..
pin prick like cut someoe open
or like..
a knife didn't even do damage?
that's because we relied on rolls so much
all of that doesn't even make sense
even if you hardcore tanked a knife
it's a fucking knife
you don't suddenly have skin of steel
you took it really well and you aren't reelling in the pain
but dude
you got stabbed even if it was shallow
or sliced like a papercut
or something
it's a bladed weapon XD
