    Default Day of the Octopus Rolls

    OOC Thread
    IC Thread

    Here is a place for you to make your die rolls. At least to start with, let's try using a format of listing where each die (or group of dice) is from. For example (no idea if this will work or not):

    Solo: [roll0]
    I'm The Best There Is At What I Do: [roll1]
    Enhanced Strength: [roll2]
    Borrowed from Doom Pool per Berserk: [roll3]
    Adamantium Claws: [roll4]
    Combat Master: [roll5]

    We can change it if this proves too onerous, but I'm hoping this will speed up rolling a bit while allowing me to protest if, say, I don't think Wolverine's Enhanced Strength should help him get the plastic off a slice of cheese.

    Fingers crossed, these two dice will go towards being the total:

    Original Doom dice rolled in the OoC: 7

    Doom Dice roll for the 1 if that becomes an Opportunity:
    (1d6)[3]

    I think the 2 on Kaine's roll is on the wrong powerset to count as an Opportunity also, but if I'm mistaken let me know!

    Growing Dread applies to any die in the roll, but it only applies when I'm using a power from the Fractured Spider-Totem power set.

    First of all (and I will note this in the OOC thread, too), there's a 1 in Hercules's roll. I will give Hercules a plot point for +1D6 doom (Doom=3D6)

    Reaction Rolls:

    Electro resisting Hercules:
    Team Affiliation: (1d10)[5]
    Don't Get No Respect distinction: (1d4)[4]
    (+1D6 Doom; Doom=4D6)

    Electro resisting Loki:
    Team Affiliation: (1d10)[3]
    Don't Get No Respect distinction: (1d4)[1]
    (+1D6 Doom; Doom=5D6)

    Mob resisting Kaine:
    Team Affiliation: (3d6)[3][5][5](13)
    Undisciplined distinction: (1d4)[2]
    (I'm using this on the notion that some of them wander off on their lonesome to get picked off)
    (Step up one doom die; Doom=4D6, 1D8)

    I don't think you're supposed to add to the Doom Pool for rolling 1s on Watcher characters. That's supposed to be a chance for players to spend Plot Points to activate?

    I think you're referring to Electro's second reaction? I'm adding to the doom pool for using a distinction at D4.



    For bad guy actions:

    Electro is trying to blast Hercules to inflict physical stress:
    Team affiliation: (1d10)[7]
    More Power!: (1d8)[2]
    (I think I forgot to mention it in the IC post, but I am using this on the presumption that he is drawing power from the battery)
    Electric Blast: (1d12)[5]
    Note that Electro has 1D8 Emotional Stress on him from Hercules and Loki's attacks, and you can add that to your reaction pool.

    Mysterio is trying to inflict a Mass Confusion complication on Hercules and Loki in the street:
    Team affiliation: (1d6)[4]
    Smoke and Mirrors distinction: (1d8)[7]
    Your Eyes Deceive You power: (1d10)[4]
    SFX (add a D6) for inflicting complications relating to confusion: (1d6)[6]
    Area SFX (add a D6 for a second target and keep an extra effect die): (1d6)[4]
    Psych Master: (2D8)[5][8](13)

    The goons are trying to increase the doom pool:
    I'm a little unclear what they're actually supposed to roll against here; unless one of you has a better idea, I think I'm just going to say that as their turn, they can increase doom by their power (D6 in this case), similar to how I'd create an asset with a Watcher character.

    That looks like a total of 12 from Electro, with a D8 effect die. And a total of 15 from Mysterio, with a D10 and D8 effect dice. Let's send the D10 toward Loki and the D8 toward Hercules (sorry, Loki, but I think Loki vs Mysterio should be interesting).

    Okay, let's see here. I'm thinking Loki will go Solo here since Hercules is keeping Electro busy. Godling Of Mischief makes sense for Loki detecting when someone is trying to fool him. For Powers, I'd like to use Sorcery Adept as Loki uses a spell to detect whether these hundreds of thugs are real or not. Lastly for Specialties, Psych Expert to deduce that this is a distraction?

    Alright, first of all, I will spend D6 from the doom pool to add a third die (4) to the total against Sleeper and win the roll; then, I will also spend a D8 to use as an effect die. Sleeper sets off a trap while rescuing the hostages and takes D8 physical stress (I don't think he can resist this beyond the action roll he has already made).

    This reduces the doom pool to 5D8.

    Next, Electro will resist Hercules's attack. I will read Hercules's roll as a total of 13 and an effect of D10 (but it would be helpful in the future if you could specify which dice are going toward the total and which the effect - for example, you could go for a total of 8 and a D12 effect die).

    Solo affiliation: (1d8)[2]
    Enhanced Speed: (1d8)[1]
    Mass Confusion complication: (1d12)[7]
    News Crew distinction (Electro will endanger them to distract Hercules): (1d8)[6]

    Now Mysterio will resist Kaine:

    Solo affiliation: (1d8)[4]
    Envious distinction: (1d4)[1]
    (add D6 to the doom pool for using a D4)
    (obviously, Mysterio is not going to let Kaine walk out of here with a hostage who might be worth a lot of money)
    Psych Master: (2d8)[7][5](12)

    And now Mysterio will resist Loki:

    Solo affiliation: (1d8)[1]
    Envious distinction: (1d4)[4]
    (add D6 to the doom poll for using a D4)
    (Mysterio sure hates Spider-Man - this is a bit of a stretch, but it seems reasonable to me)
    Doom: (2d8)[7][1](8)

    At the end of all this, the doom pool should be sitting at 2D6, 3D8.

    That's a total of 13 and an effect die of D8 from Electro, who takes D10 physical stress (I could also pick a total of 8 and an effect die of D12 - that would step the stress back one for a strong defense, but up one for beating the total by more than 5, so no difference).

    Mysterio manages a total of 12 against Kaine and sees through his fast-talking (probably Sleeper setting off that trap caught his attention).

    Mysterio gets a total of 11 against Loki and now has a D10 Meddling Illusory Arachnid complication.
