What people forget is this isnt a dice game and stats mean very little. This is writing game and your actions written dicate what happens not an arbitrary plus or minus of numbers. If cant write it happening no amount of stats you point too will make it happen.

I wasn't saying I'm going to roll for shit, Skall. I was simply using the stats as a REFERENCE... as I stated more than once. Such as the "What about guns" and the "My armor is tough enough I can pretty much ignore bullets" thing that went on earlier.

Numbers help for those nitpicky moments where someone says they can survive this number of things. But you can put out THIS number of things. And THIS number is bigger than this number.

Indeed.

The only real number that will often matter is the amount of prep behind an attack. :K

So you're saying if someone has an attack that could take out a truck full of guys, but one guy in that truck has an ability that lets him absorb the force of a blast and send in back outward a few second later... and he can use that ability reflexively (as in WHEN shit happens)... that he can't use it to save himself or his pals?
