Did my attack hit anyone? I spent Advantage to ricochet to a nearby enemy.

[TheRealSife]

Oh shoot forgot about that. I will add that in tonight

[eltorin]

I had 1 net Advantage, I would offer a Boost die for anyone interested for the next roll.

Where are we now? Are we waiting for Ipphli or free to act?

[TheRealSife]

We are going to proceed without Ipphli for the time being, though he is free to jump back in if he wants. You two are both free to act now

[Malkavian Grin]

Groovy. Let's break this shit 😎

[eltorin]

Got it, thanks! I'll post tomorrow, then.

Jana will want to take care of the newcomers to take the heat, so if Karrik wants to go on with destroying the device, please feel free. :)

[Malkavian Grin]

Roger Roger. The best part is, Karrik has the ricochet shot so attacking the device can still hit some adds.

[eltorin]

Nice, that's a net Triumph and 2 Advantages. I used the default 2 difficulty dice but if it's not sufficient, please let me know (I could only guess how far they're standing). Otherwise, I would like to inflict a Critical Injury.

Edit: the Critical roll result is 42 (Average), Bowled Over: The target is knocked prone and sufers 1 strain.

Is that attack a success? Still trying to learn the rolls... Does the miss (the x) cancel some of the triumph?

It is an extreme success, yes. :) Triumph does not get cancelled, just as Despair doesn't, so the Failures only cancel the Success (as a Triumph also counts as a Success in itself), the triumphant result remains.

 

Edit: to quote the book: "The Triumph symbol indicates a significant boon or beneficial outcome. Each Triumph symbol provides two effects: 1, each Triumph symbol also counts as one success, ...,. This means that the success generated by a Triumph symbol could he cancelled by a Failure symbol generated by the same skill check.

2, you can spend a Triumph symbol to trigger incredibly potent effects. You could think of this as a "super advantage", ...,. Two common uses include triggering a Critical Injury upon a successful attack and activating a weapon's special quality.

...

You gain both effects with each Triumph symbol, so you don't have to choose between the Success and the special-effect trigger. Although the Success aspect can be cancelled by a Failure symbol, the second aspect of the Triumph symbol cannot be cancelled."

Sure, but if the triumph success gets cancelled, all you're left with is 0 successes and Whatever "is leftover" on the triumph. Right?

[eltorin]

Yes, a triumph_symbol = triumph_aspect + success_aspect, if you extract the success_aspect, the triumph_aspect remains.

[TheRealSife]

Critical hits are auto-kills on minions so even though the successes were cancelled out by the failures there Janna's shot will still take out one of the androids.

@Malkavian Grin yes you can give a boost to Janna's next roll with your advantage.

I'll get a post up with the enemy actions tonight.

[eltorin]

Oh, snap, I'm guilty of forgetting that actually I attacked the minions, not the boss, that slipped my mind, thanks!
