Hi,

The Mark This Channel Read button has disappeared for me only in the Trinity Continuum channel. It's probably the channel I've used it most. So, I didn't know if there was a threshold of some kind I've passed over or if this is an actual bug. If it's a threshold, could you please tell me what it is so I may avoid it in the future? Thanks.

But I do believe there's a hard floor on difficulty for any roll, and that is 1. So, even if they are denied their Defense, the roll still has a 1 difficulty....

There were communists during that period. So you should be fine.

Specialties work differently as well. In TC, they add a halo bonus to other skills, in Scion you get extra momentum if you fail a roll with a skill you have a specialty in.

Storypath runs on story logic more than real world logic. So I've always ruled people can speak a language unless it makes the game more fun for them not to.

It doesn't say, but I've been running it that way. I might change that, though.

I interpreted the "no shenanigans" bit. There's a bit of "I want to see what it would take to seriously threaten my character," but there is also a story element. His character has been walking around like he's hot shit since he's come through all the combats with basically no injuries. So, he wants to see his character humbled and play through a shake-up to his self-esteem. That's why I think he wants it with no shenanigans. He wants to the loss to feel earned. He's just set the bar high, mechanically. However, you are correct, the loss could be narratively earned without...

Imagine if all of the movies below existed in the same world:

- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
- The Indiana Jones Movies (minus Crystal Skull)
- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
- The Rocketeer
- The Shadow
- The Phantom
- King Soloman's Mines

That's basically what the setting is for Adventure!

Not a bad idea. It feels a bit like a "rocks fall, every dies" kind of scenario, but I will certainly keep it in my back pocket if nothing else is working.

I have a BK in my game who is pretty optimized for Defense and Soft Armor. I generally need 5-6 successes to overcome his Dodge stunt before even trying to Inflict Injury past his 3+ Soft Armor. He wants to be legitimately Taken Out without any shenanigans. The group I'm planning on doing this with is 3 PKs, each one specialized in one of the PK modes.

Since the BK doesn't have any dots in Transmogrify, I plan on using one PK to lift him off the ground. That should eliminate his ability to move or use his hand-to-hand attacks. However, he does have 5 dots in Psychomorping. If he activates...

They are things like Weighted, Brutal, etc. you see on weapon stat blocks.
