No problemayo

[GreivousKhan]

You did know she never dodged right?

[MelonHead]

No, I thought she fell backwards, I can edit I guess. Though you didn't write in any damage what so ever, so I wasn't really to know.

My character can lift 4 tonnes of weight remember, that's more than enough for some bruising, or broken ribs, and you should have been thrown to your left as well.

[MelonHead]

Like Skallagrim said, you have to be clear with your posts 'It left her open to his shove from his other arm, Shenestra had no choice but to fall back. The whine of turbines were suddenly heard just as Shenestra fell onto her back.'

1. You never said the hand made contact,
2. You said Shenestra had no choice but to fall back, which can easily mean, falling backwards.

Well you only mentioned shoved back, so I went with that direction.

Also it did not say how much force was behind it either, I don't normally read through a persons sheet in these things unless a problem occurs(even so lift strength does not always equal punching force). I'll mention damage then to make it more clear she was hit, hence why she fell, (or would have fallen) on her back.

If I wrote my posts to that degree of technical information it would be terrible to read. When I say an attack is thrown powerfully, you can at least infer maximum strength.

Plus, its funny that you knew all about my characters weak points, but didn't even read how strong he was.

Cause she couldn't have known that. :P

Aslo,

2) Power is determined by the content of prior posts. The more the attack is described and noted in context of the exchange of posts between characters, the greater the strength of the attack or defensive maneuver.

No one says you need to paste whats in your sheet, but simply;y saying something like "she punched with the force to shatter bones of a normal human". would suffice to avoid confusion on the amount of power in a attack, especially as a shove is not really seen as lethal by most.

She would when he hit her.

[MelonHead]

Cool fight so far btw, although considering our objectives I'd say you're winning thus far. The Mystans are probably getting murdered.

[GreivousKhan]

Indeed.

Though at some point I did imagine that they would discover that they share a common goal. (that is enemies of Angry Rilla)

If/when he discovers why they are there and their need of a technomancer.

[GreivousKhan]

Oh, and I edited my post. she now has a dislocated shoulder. Monster how dare you hit a lady! Even is she is menacing you with sharp objects.

[MelonHead]

She could have just explained what she was doing and he would have joined her, as a Technomancer. I'm the sort of person who shouts at the screen when that sort of thing happens.

I know, this is quite similar to a show I watched once. I face palmed.

But it does make things more amusing.

[MelonHead]

Indeed.

Anyway, I allowed for some more minor damage as your character wasn't throwing herself backwards while simultaneously slashing forwards like I thought. He can't concentrate on repairing the damage at this time, so another strike could cause catastrophic damage (as Skallagrim's rules dictate, with the double strike breaking... thing.)

[GreivousKhan]

Hopefully I have enough time today to post, if not tomorrow for sure. Weekends suck.

[MelonHead]

Don't worry too much, I'm usually busy on weekends as well.

Your character is doing a lot of things here at once, when exactly did she have time to take note of his grenade, finish running, aim a crossbow and fire it before the grenade covered like what was it? 20 feet?

In the same time it took him to blow up previous grenade, take aim at her, judge the distance, transform his other grenade, then throw it. :K

He was already aiming at her, and it takes significantly less time to move your arm then run across a room.

Exploding the grenade was instantaneous on entering the pipe, which is also when your character began to run, so unimportant.

Transforming the grenade is nearly instantaneous, throwing a grenade takes a minuscule amount of time, my character calculated your movements on the run and threw to where you ended up, I'm not really sure where your character had time to stop and observe to the point where she knew his grenade was being prepared, and I especially don't know how she finished her run, and then fired a crossbow, before the grenade was anywhere near her.
