Renose

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Silas' speed and agility as a racket ball player would allow him to cover the distance from behind the storage shed to where the Imps are quickly enough to where he could get in and perform his attack on an Imp. There was one other Imp that was near the one Ren blasted, this one being the only one Silas would have enough time to make it over to. The moment he said the command 'Energy Strike', as Ren during their practice for creating Pseudospaces mentioned that the only way to use Skills quickly and efficiently was to say their commands, his racket would glow lightly with a blueish energy that he would pour into it, giving the attack a bit of extra force.

Silas Energy Strike: 2 (Critical!)

Imp Dodge: 97 (Fumble)

Damage Dealt: 38

---

The Imp was probably still a bit surprised from the sudden attack of all of the humans to where Silas would have the easiest time delivering a very deadly blow to the Imp with his Energy Strike using the racket, the Imp letting out a cry of pain as it was knocked down by the attack, the creature dispatched instantly by the powerful strike that let out a loud bang of wood and metal racket against tough Imp head. Luckily the other Imp that was close by was the one that Ren targeted. Silas strike was so quick thanks to the Imp practically just sitting there that he would have enough time to lunge forward for one more strike, granted that it would probably be a bit less accurate, but still another chance for a good clean strike nonetheless, his racket still somehow glowing with energy as perhaps his swell execution of the attack allowed him to keep the energy flowing without expending anymore for a well placed second attack.

Silas Energy Strike: 37 + 25 ('Free' Strike) - 11 Melee Weaponry - 7 Skill Bonus = 44

Imp Dodge: 85

Max Damage Hit

Damage Dealt: 16

The strike hit dead on, knocking the creature down with its force and it also vanishing in thin air the moment it hit the ground after being hit by the well executed strike. After his two hit attack was over several windows would appear in front of Silas as if his excellent combat attack was being rewarded somehow by essentially increasing his own abilities. Of course, one of the first windows that appeared after the first Imp was dispatched was one that appeared for both Mike and Silas, mentioning that their Levels had gone up by 1 as the 1 above both Mike's and SIlas' head now turned into a 2.

Window 1

A well executed attack has increased your melee combat prowess, +1 to Melee Weaponry

Window 2

Energy Strike's level has gone up by 2

Window 3

Racket Mastery's level has gone up by 2

Window 4

A Skill has been created through a Special Action. The ability to hit an enemy's weak point with deadly accuracy to deal even more damage, Critical Strike, has been created.

Critical Strike

Critical Strike (Passive) (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP): Deal 105% more damage whenever you perform a Critical Strike. To Level Up either perform a Critical Strike or get hit by a Critical Strike.

Window 5

A Skill has been created through a Special Action. The ability to quickly chain attacks together, Chain Attack, has been created.

Chain Attack

Chain Attack (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active - 1 MP/Extra Attack): You can perform up to two attacks in a deadly chain as long as the first attack was successful. Note that any other Attack Skill you use with the first attack will have its affect carry over to each of the other attacks. Note though that each additional attack suffers a -25% to the Roll. Each additional attack deals 5% more damage then the last. Note though if an enemy manages to parry or dodge the extra attack(s) you can be potentially opened to a counterattack. To Level Up: Perform a successful Chain Attack, get a Critical with a Chain Attack, kill an enemy then attack another enemy (if that enemy is in point blank range) with a Chain Attack.

Yea i guess Mike could have run up and managed to say all of that (it is alot) during a six second time period since he seems excitable and like someone who can talk really, really fast (plus the Imps just got out of being surprised).

Alright, that works ^^

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

I had a Silent Hill RP back on the old guild with a game system as well, I thought it would work much better so that characters could actually die randomly instead of having to set them up to die, which in most other Horror RPs most players will either kill characters off on purpose or make them survive everything. With a game system, that stuff is left up to fate.

Also I find that Game systems can drastically alter how a story plays out. Every character, including big baddies or epic heroes, can die and is not invincible, which adds some uniqueness to the story and allows for players to better manipulate the story with their actions (regardless of the success of said actions)

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Its fine, Im not mad. Just delete the post for now and save it for your next Turn or just have Mike say one single thing in response to Ren's question (like a very short sentence)

And I know its a hard thing to adjust to, but I like having fights this way. I have always had a pet peeve with having to set my character up for success or failure, which is why I like RPs with game systems like these, makes it so that whether or not you succeed or fail is determined by not only chance, but by your character's own abilities (IE their Skills, Talents, and Stats)

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Your turn was running up to Ren and having barely enough time to ready yourself for using Energy Pulse as a counterattack against any Imp that approaches (since Ren ran pretty far with her 17 dexterity and your dexterity is only 2, so naturally you would have quite the hard time catching up quickly), which is what you will do when the time comes for the enemy to attack.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Yes, except its not your Turn. You already had your Turn.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Anyway either Ominal's or Bio's turn now.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

And yea, you are right, it is about experimentation, and I do encourage that and am willing to reward more innovative and creative actions.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

There. Energy shot is now useful. you actually managed to hit all the targets, but Energy shot is so weak right now that it did no damage to them.

Also we get to truly see our first unique skill. Normally I wouldn't give something like this in the beginning, but it was not only too awesome to pass up, but Energy shot is so weak right now that its power is pretty much nothing, so Energy Revolver wouldn't be OP at all.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Mike would only need to use Observe once, and only had enough time for one during his running towards Ren since he wasn't as quick as Ren. Upon using it he would see a window appear before him, giving the following information on the Imp, the one he used it on luckily being the one that Ren had hit.

Imp

Creature Species: Demon
Creature Sub-Species: Imp

One of the weakest forms of demons, these creatures are mischievous and tricky, but don't let their small stature fool you. These creatures can bring some pain with their razor sharp claws. They are quick to anger and a bit cowardly, but in numbers they are dangerous.

HP: 7/25

Upon using it on that single Imp another window would appear in front of him, stating the following.

Window

Your Observe Skill's Level has increased by 1.

After that he would be in front of Ren, the young boy, who was actually Mike's age, wondering why he, a weak level 1 character, was trying to shield a level 9 character. "What are you doing?!"

Sasha, in the meantime as this was going on, would charge forward. Using a bit of ingenuity she would aim both of her fingers in the general direction of the Imps, using Energy Shot with both fingers and managing to actually get off four shots at the Imps with it by using the Skill twice.

---

Energy Shot 1: 52 - 12 Projectile = 40
Energy Shot 2: 52 - 12 Projectile = 40
Energy Shot 3: 48 - 12 Projectile = 36
Energy Shot 4: 48 - 12 Projectile = 36

Damage Dealt-- Target 1 (0 Damage) Target 2 (0 Damage) Target 3 (0 Damage) Target 4 (0 Damage)

---

The attack seemed to hit successfully, but the small energy bullet was too weak and the Imp's hide too thick for it to actually register or do any form of damage. It was a valiant effort, but it didn't seem to actually do anything. Suddenly though a window did appear in front of her, followed by another one after the first one disappeared then one more window.

Window 1

Energy Shot's Level has gone up by 1

Window

A Skill has been created through a Special Action. The ability to use energy bullets more effectively, Energy Revolver, has been created.

Energy Revolver

Energy Revolver (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active: 1 - 3 MP): +1 Projectile Weaponry. Like a revolver you can fire multiple Energy Shots at once at a single target to deal more damage with Energy Shot, a normally weak skill. You can fire up to three Energy Shots at once from your finger, each shot costing 1 MP. If you fire multiple shots at a single enemy the damage stacks to pierce the target's resistance. Each shot deals 5% more Damage then the last. To Level Up: Hit a single target with multiple shots from Energy Revolver. Use Energy Revolver to target and hit multiple foes. Get a Critical with Energy Revolver. Get a Lucky Strike with Energy Revolver.

Unfortunately there wouldn't be enough time to get off a chance to test out the brand new skill, but this certainly did increase the effectiveness of Energy Shot drastically.
