[OCC] (Hunter: the Vigil 2e Playtest) The Lucifuge's Doubting Souls

[Caladriu]

Personally, in PbP I tend to assume specialties and bonuses apply and let the ST remove dice from the right side of my results if they disagree. It moves a little quicker. Maybe an hour per roll for extended actions like this?

Do we have the 2E rules for risking Willpower? It's referenced in the Merciless Condition and I don't immediately remember how it worked in 1E.

This is what Mortal Remains suggests

Once per scene, you may risk Willpower on a roll. Spend 1 WP. Choose two of the following effects for that roll:

• +3 dice
• Exceptional success on 3 instead of 5, OR +1 damage to an attack
• 9-again, OR 8-again if already rolling with 9-again
• Remove 10-again from a contested roll

If you succeed, you do not lose the WP, and gain +1 WP. You also gain 1 Practical Beat.
If you fail, the failure is automatically dramatic. Gain 2 Practical Beats.

just to clarify- does Khalil joins the teamwork or is he making his own research? I want to know if I should wait for his post or not.

It could go either way. I've got 9 Again on the roll, so there's a lot of potential to add. I won't be able to make his post for roughly 2 more hours, though, when I get home from work. If you post before then, I guess his roll will be independent. If not, then he'll contribute.

Well, I have the Informed Condition AND 8 again from Mind of a Madman which I plan to use, plus the help from Gabby and Micheal- so I think I could make it on my own.

We have a poll about Playtest is now live here - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...uVLAw/viewform

It's answers be read on November 10th.

I filled it even if not used Endowment myself in play to this date. Marked in comment for Integrity need for my diversity in characters Breaking Points, like I did on general read of rules in this post.

I only want to say that I'm all in to leave the general Code as it is now - only to let Hunters to change number of Breaking Points ( for example, up to 5 ) to those defined by them for -1 cumulative penalty to interactions with other hunters, not sharing new Breaking Point. In this way we have general hunters population that goes for the killing monsters - but could easily have edge cases, or even particular organisations - that follows more non-violent ways of dealing with supernatural. It also be 'canon' to what was shown in Supernatural TV show, where most hunters ( even Dean ) looks on Sam and his attempts to save the monsters as something 'weird' - but not the thing that makes him into Slasher-dom just because he thinks it's good and reattempts it more than 10 times.

[Second Chances]

I swear I'm alive. Will try to updated today so we can get as much feedback in as possible.

two questions- first, does Micheal still have a twin brother in our setting? If so, we should also save him before he'll become a target. Second- where actually is Brian? I wrote Cassidy's reaction as being a bit rushed, so it could be interpreted as he is either in the room and she is just cynical about him not being helpful, or that he really isn't together with the cell.

It's a question to what I would also want to have answer. Second Chances?

1 - Yes he does.

2- Brian is still with the cell. If he's got the scent of a demon, he isn't going anywhere fast other than to send it back to hell.

So, I may have broken one of my hands. Hopefully I can keep writing stuff out with speech to text, but that might not be doable before the deadline passes for feedback. Just an FYI.

[White Oak Dragon]

Oh my Gods, that's terrible! I certainly hope that you recover swiftly. If you don't mind me asking, what happened? I acknowledge that it's none of my business, but curiosity is one of my vices (or possibly virtues, depending on perspective). I'm not too worried about the deadline. I can give feedback based on what I've seen so far. I just hope you feel better soon.

[Second Chances]

I bailed on my mountain bike in the snow on my way home from work. I actually think it's mostly OK, but there's a lot of swelling, so I'm gonna checked out to make sure. Nothing super nasty, just wheels went out underneath me and make me punch the curb. Good thing I had my full face helmet on though

Deadline is almost here - and it still was superfast. But we made at least one scene. Just let's roll with the game slowly, with your pace, now - I think Monica and rest of devs still be interested in seeing on forum how mechanics play. And we are all in character modes now in our minds.

Hopes you get back to health as soon as possible!

[LostLight]

Don't force yourself, Second Chances! While the deadline is nice and all- your health is what you should care about. Feel well!

Can I make suggestion? I just made great cliffhanger moment with Micheal 'remembering' he has twin brother Terrence - could we end scene right now? It's just looks like great ending with it. We can split cell now in OOC topic, but it can simply be that Steph, Brian and Michael have one more target to find. Of course, Micheal will insist on rescuing his twin brother, now. And he do not want to take 'no' for the answer ( as Violent he is now ).
