Re: Vanguard Academy OOC Thread

Computers check about mysterious tunnels: 1D20+11 = [9]+11 = 20


Violet probably won't have time to look into the matter until after a scene change, but when she does get a chance, there's the die roll for it.

I'm not really a GI Joe expert, but I'd see what I could make for it!

Re: Mutants and Masterminds partners with Valiant Comics

Suffering damage on on a successful toughness check actually makes more sense to me, if you want every successful attack roll to to be a hit. If a normal person without any body armor rolls a 20 on a toughness save and completely resists damage from a gun or a knife, the only explanation that makes ...

Gather Information takes at least an hour, but I'll roll a Computers check for it whenever Violet has the opportunity.

"On our own? Why? I mean, we could probably just... ask..."

Valerie's voice trails off. She sighs unhappily and takes out her phone. "I can try to dig something up, but it'll take a while."

Re: Mutants and Masterminds partners with Valiant Comics

The villain in the quickstart has Impervious, though it isn't called that by name. She's immune to damage of rank 7 or less with a toughness of 12, which is slightly more than she could have under 3e Impervious, but there's no way of knowing if that's the most Impervious she could possibly have, or ...

Violet HP: 2 | CND: Anxious | Room 110, Byrne House | Delta Class With no exotic senses of her own, other than her reaction time, Valerie can only listen to Jessamine and Zoska as they describe their observations. "So, we should ask the faculty about this, right?" she asks. "I mean, ...

Say, Tattooedman, have you looked at the Quickstart rules for the Valiant Adventures version of M&M? https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/467646/valiant-adventures-rpg-quickstart-free-pdf I know you've been experimenting with setting the base toughness DC to 10, and they have too, so it m...

Re: Mutants and Masterminds partners with Valiant Comics

I like the use of Advantage and Disadvantage - wait, I mean bonus dice and penalty dice - in places where defenses or effect ranks would have been halved in 3e and earlier. The changes to damage seem like they should make attack and defense shifted characters more effective, since avoiding getting h...

Has anything been going on with Randy lately that we'd know about, btw?

Re: Vanguard Academy IC: Dorm Daze

Violet HP: 2 | CND: Extra Guilty | Room 110, Byrne House | Delta Class Valerie reads through the files. Randy's really taking this crime-fighting thing seriously - it's a little impressive, and a little worrying. The further she reads, the more uncomfortable she feels doing it, and eventually she t...

Well hey! I'll use it to buy Damaging Escape, because Violet can't Interpose if she's being grappled.
