Hyper-Man Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Re: Some holding phases questions... Another way to look at the Viper example is when you walk up or down stairs next to someone else. Unless one of you is far more of a hurry than the other you both tend to follow the same rhythm in your steps. However, one of you could decide to syncopate your steps so that neither of your feet is 'hitting' the steps at the same time. It is not waiting for a 'thing' as much as the absence between things, or troughs between crests in waves. It illustrates a granularity of the speed chart that actually fit real life. GM's may want to require a rhythm check to accomplish this effect in the heat of combat since adrenaline tends to speed up one's internal clock but it makes a valid case that some characters should be able to have a 'god-view' of their timing. Captain America and Batman would qualify in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see your point , though I'd consider "I hold my shot for 1 second after Barney fires" to be holding for something specific...if you want to react before that you gotta roll, other wise you're going "one thousand..one" and react too slow.....
