Hugh Neilson Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Re: Knockback/knockdown/KNOCKUP?? Reading the Breakfall skill description on page 51 of 5ER' date=' I'd allow Breakfall for this.[/quote'] I can see breakfall enabling the character to avoid being "knocked prone", but they're still in mid-air with no means of directing their movements. to me, that's still not a full DCV situation. But, if I were allowing DFC from mid-air due to the nature of the campaign, I'd probably allow dodging in mid-air as well. If the ground rules result in being knocked upwards having no major drawbacks over those of being knocked back, then I'd agree no advantage is required to direct knockback in this fashion.

Super Squirrel Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Re: Knockback/knockdown/KNOCKUP?? I had a character named Inertia. His entire concept was Knockback related. Double Knockbacks and Indirects. I think he had an "Inertia Storm" which was an Indirect, Double Knockback, Explosion, NCC (-1 can't control effect). It sent people in completely random directions. Indirect is the solution you seek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaws Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Re: Knockback/knockdown/KNOCKUP?? Basically, the end of the first segment you have no horizontal support, you fall 5". End of the next segment, 10". End of the next, 15" (as in, six-foot game inches, not real inches). Continue until your reach 30" velocity, or hit the ground. Take 1d6 damage for each " of velocity. I believe this damage is still limited by the Body/Def of whatever you hit, however, so you may dig yourself a nice pit when you land. Thanks thats simple enough to remember with out having to go to tables or a rule book. Not the sort of thread I initially thought it was.... looked to me like the sequence of events for DarkPorn HERO...a version of the four colour game with more realistic consequences... Doc LOL I knew something didn't read just right on the title. Thanks everyone for all the cool Input! I will actually be able put this together I think.

Not the sort of thread I initially thought it was.... looked to me like the sequence of events for DarkPorn HERO...a version of the four colour game with more realistic consequences... I kinda had a similar reaction, what with the Katherine Heigl movie currently being promoted in the media. Gives one reason for a pregnant pause. It's just not what I was expecting. Okay, I'll be good now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
