I'm fine with that kind of creativity but don't push it because the next bomb will have lots of options that will waste your time and you won't get the thing disarmed before it goes off unless you know what you're doing. I brought this discussion up specifically with the group at last night's game. Immediately the players said, "Oh man... that's easily a Blue Chit use of Danger Sense!" which referred to my chit rules... a version of luck that allows limited expenditure each game that can modify a power use (do a power stunt), add plot points, etc. It really does help when you have players who 'get it' and are looking to create a fun, dramatic game/story... and understand the rules are in service of that end, not in demonstrating some powergaming/show-off/competitive need.

Brian Stanfield Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hey all, Rather than start a new thread about the same subject, I'm just going to resurrect this one with a question: What that hell does this mean? "Characters with Intuitional Danger Sense get their full DCV against dangers, but cannot make attacks at full OCV if they make the roll by half." I get that the full DCV is a benefit of not being surprised, but making the roll by half seems like a good thing, right? This rule seems to be sayin if you roll really well you don't get to use your full OCV. What am I missing here? I'm sure it's really obvious, but I'm just not seeing an obvious answer . . .

Duke Bushido Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Isn't intuitional a limited firm of DS? I ask because it has been some time since I read 6e, and I have yet to find the time to read Basic. But it sounds like the side effect of how far the hair was split, in this case.

Normally Danger Sense gives you full OCV if you make your Danger Sense roll by half even if you don't have any (other) Targeting senses that can sense your attacker. Intuitional Danger Sense doesn't do this. Brian Stanfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Less than half" is usually a good thing, but in this case doesn't mean "make the roll by more than half" because that would be "less than half." It apparently means make the roll, but "not under half." I'm tired, what can I say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
