USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006- The Dojo

I'll swap ST for DM before I attack Then I'll draw my Katana and aim at azrael's head with a quick but powerful blow.

(Advice to Spades...you have both Sharpened and Brilliant Scales...these may be nifty for hand-to-hand, but really, you only need one of them. You don't have Bullet Time, and so you have no defenses. I advise perhaps taking a look at a defensive MA power to replace one of your Scales, most likely based on your preferred mental stat)

Heph pulls off another combination of two nunchaku attack, performing a spinning, twisting blow that starts with his body and ends with the swing of the nunchaku. (DF tap)

Azrael will tap HT, and ram the heel of his hand into Fire's stomach. Ducking below his return swing, Azrael will then try and hit him in the face.

Ush - I'm a little confused as to the timing of these fights (pretty much only in the matter of ST and veterans, though). Doesn't swapping ST in to use it only work if the vet attacks first? In this case, Fire was tapping a power to attack with. Or is it all simultaneous - attacks, then defences?

Hawk will continue his way up, counterattacking with SP. I'll also be tapping HC.

This doesn't seem to be the case to query that; he swapped out a power he was not using. He couldn't have tapped StS to attack and also swap it with ST and tap that if he was going second, no.

Oh yeah, I see.

But still, attacks are simultaneous?

No. Most of the time it does not matter but in key turns for the Dojo I will make initiative rolls, and I will also do so at any point in which you want to make different moves depending.

If I can still change around my character's powers before we actually start, I'll probably add a defensive one in...))

Spades fires quickly at the next four security guards (tapping CC to do this).

"I've got a meal-credit that says I beat you..." Firewall teased, the endless-white of the construct forms hastily into the Famous Dojo scene around them, both participants dressed in the stereo-typical martial-arts robes... To either side of them lies a Glock 17 loaded with a single clip, sitting quite patiently on small end-tables.

Firewall takes a step back and assumes a Defensive Russian-Martial-Arts stance, palms open and ready to grapple his new opponent...

(Straight Shot, Sharpened Scales, Hands of Light, Dim-Mak, King on the Water...)

(Dim-Mak might be useless unless he's got Life's Armor...)

(It's there to fill the gap, and tapping it seems interesting...)

(Touche.)

Helios replied, "Then don't plan on eating." He then flipped up into the air toward Firewall, attempting to kick him in the chest, using VG to do so.

I'd like to tap BS as well this turn, switching it out for DiM.

Ok, Azrael and Fire mix it up up close! Sword vs. Fist. Only four dice on Fire's attack though. A miss! And a defensive bonus to Azrael, in fact. He may choose what he wants.

And Azrael rolls five succsses and a bonus! So Azrael can choose a bonus both offensive and defensive, and inflicts seven damage. Good round for Azrael!

Hawk- afraid the HC tap takes a turn.

Hawk's attack rolls three successes, and scores a bonus! Unfortunately Unstoppable isn't much of an issue there. Still, eight damage!

Heph gets off two shots in return. Heph is hugerly on form, rolling five successes followed by three, for a total of 14 damage... which actually finishes the fight!

Heph has tapped his way to victory.

Spades- not your best ever rolls, I am afraid! Your targets stand, and another ten damage comes your way...

Ok, Helios and Firewall clash. You sure about your loadout there, Helios?

Helios attacks with a mere three dice. Still, he gets his hit! One success makes that five damage.

Firewall, I assume, just attacks. He has 11 dice. He rolls four successes and inflicts six damage.

I'll swap out 10B for SS and then attack him again (no tapping)

Since I am not on training mission, I would like to train in some basic combat with several mooks. Perhaps four guards in the underground base?

How many powers can I have in my cache?

Nevermind my last question, I have forgotten that the main rules were upgraded.

Yes, I was about to say- throw together a character with the rules up and then you will know where you are!

But there is no necessity to make any significant changes for the character you made for me before the character creation rules were posted?
