[@Bishop] Wording, Bishop, not to mention that they didn't mention the after effects. The way Catarina is written, she didn't already cut the gargoyel, she's about to. Ryo just made a really fluffy way of saying "Catarina slashed at the gargoyle". To elaborate, [i]if[/i] the blow lands then yes, the gargoyle will be cut in half. The important factor is of course, [i]if[/i]. Since didn't Ryo didn't also add something like "and then the gargoyle was split in half" that would leave enough to the imagination for EWillden to decide whether or not Catarina would succeed or fail. 

Basically, what you can do is say something like "I attack the gargoyle" and EWilden be the one who decides if you hit or miss. Not "I attack the gargoyle and it dies/gets knocked into the next room." The success of your actions aren't up to you, least of all in a boss fight. 

Vivian gets some leeway because she is the GM, and even then you don't know if the fireball killed the gargoyle or not. Again wording: EWilden never said the gargoyle died. To assume it did makes an ass out of you and me. More so since we've already said more than once that these things were resistant to magic. Do you really think that we'd keep saying that, only for a gargoyle to die from one fireball?

And that still doesn't fix other inconsistencies. Even if you changed the a of their charge, you still have other sections where youre punching through their bodies like they were made of clay. And where would Xavier had learned a technique like that? Last I checked he was trained with unarmed strikes, not reposition. If you wanted to be a Kung fu wizard you should have rolled a monk sorcerer instead of a pure sorcerer.
