Two more robots, but one is fghting with the student NPCs while the other is Dazed until next turn. I'll have those posts up shortly since it's a slow night at work for once ( watch that jinxs it).

Dazed doesn't mean no action anymore. It only means only a single standard action. It is basically Staggered for one round, but it doesn't stack with Staggered. So if a target is Staggered, Dazed is meaningless.

Right, but the way the Intrepid robots are designed they have to be able to move towards the target to hit them with their attack. So they can't move & attack with being Staggered.

Has there been a map update? Hard to figure out what to do as a teleporter without a map. I think we're on the third round. But I'm not sure.

Given how badly my last attempt went I haven't made an updated map. And with the size of the area it would be a huge map to do on a graph page. Given my time constraints as of Late I thought it was less important.

But if you have questions on locations I can answer using the map that exists. For the most part everyone is pretty much still in the same location since two rounds ago.

One was moving up the stairs to get to the big concentrsrionnof PCs, another got a bit closer to some students, but they otherwise didn't go very far overall. Pretty sure.

Right, but the way the Intrepid robots are designed they have to be able to move towards the target to hit them with their attack. So they can't move & attack with being Staggered.
I hate to ask, but in fairness, does this mean they can't use the Charge action (which is move then attack at penalty as one Standard action)?

Honestly? I don't know. I would have to look over the Charge Action & decide. But I but their main attack power so that it requires the ability to move & attack.

Yeah, 3e Charge is a Standard action. You move your speed rank and attack at -2.

After just over a year of not running any games my game rule Memory isn't as sharp as it once was.

I only know it because I have a couple of characters who use Charge regularly.
