Newbie question

Hi everyone!

First post here, so get easy on me

My first question is related to Stress. Let's say a heroe receives stress beyond D12, so he is stressed out, and receives a D6 trauma. So far so good. My doubt is regarding character death. How is it possible for a heroe to stay fighting beyond stressed out? Is a heroe's death only possible via a coup de grace, or a natural hazard (like lava, space void)?

My second question is related to reactions during an opportunity generated by the Watcher. Can a heroe act in response to a opportunity, even after his turn?

Thanks for reading!

Welcome! We'll be nice, I promise!

My first question is related to Stress. Let's say a heroe receives stress beyond D12, so he is stressed out, and receives a D6 trauma. So far so good. My doubt is regarding character death. How is it possible for a heroe to stay fighting beyond stressed out? Is a heroe's death only possible via a coup de grace, or a natural hazard (like lava, space void)?

If you're stressed out, an ally can do stress relief to get you back up on your feet. Or, more likely, you carry the trauma into the next few action scenes where it can grow.

My second question is related to reactions during an opportunity generated by the Watcher. Can a heroe act in response to a opportunity, even after his turn?

Usually only the hero being acted against can take advantage of the opportunity. However, with the right narration, anyone can use it. But it's best to let the one being rolled against the first grab at it.

Thanks for reading!

No worries! And welcome again!

Thanks for the reply!

I'll be using this thread for more newbie questions in the future!

Ok, so another question put simply:

Assuming Iron Man is attacking with Repulsor Beams, his overall dice pool would be:
1d10 (solo Affiliation) + 1d8 (Cutting Edge Technology Distinction) + 1D6 (Cybernetic Senses Power Set) + 1d8 (Repulsors Power Set), correct? No specialty to add?

Thanks!

Terminology quibble: Those are power traits, not power sets.

The answer to your question depends on the narrative, of course.

Most of the time, Tony would use his Tech Master d10 with Iron Man attacks.

My mistake. Sometimes it's difficult to write while holding a baby in your arms...

So Tech Master woould add to Tony's attacks. And the cybernetic senses? Would it add to Repulsors? Should I pay 1PP to add it?

Thanks

The cybernetic senses are in a different power set than the repulsors, and you get to add one from each power set for free. So you don't have to pay the 1 PP to use it.

You could pay 1 PP to include another power trait though.

Ok guys another question.

Suppose Iron Man is trying to hit Mr. Fear.

So Tony has 1d10 (solo Affiliation) + 1d4 (Cutting Edge Technology Distinction) + 1D6 (Cybernetic Senses Power Set) + 1d8 (Repulsors Power Set) and 1d10 (Tech Master Specialty). So 2d10 + 1d8 + 1d6 + 1d4.

Mr Fear has 1d8 (Solo Affiliation) + 1d8 (Cunning Distinction) and no other dice to add related to defense. So 2d8.

Assuming Tony's roll is d10 (4 and 6), d8 (8), d6 (4) and d4 (2), he chooses 6 and 8 as his result (14) and a d10 as effect.

Mr Fear rolls a 8 and 2, with no effect so a d4 is added as such.

In this case, Tony's repulsor hit Mr Fear and inflinct a d10 physical stress, correct?

In the other hand, if Tony's roll were d10 (4 and 1), d8 (8), d6 (1) and d4 (2), he chooses 4 and 8 as his result (12) and a d4 as effect.

Mr Fear rolls a 8 and 2, with no effect so a d4 is added as such.

In this case, Tony's repulsor hit Mr Fear but inflinct no physical stress, correct? (D4 effect vs d4 effect)

Thanks!

Your first example is correct, but your second is off.

The Reaction Effect Die has to be HIGHER than (not equal to) the Action Effect Die to step it back.

Mr. Fear would have to have a D6 or better Effect Die to step back Iron Man's D4 Effect die into nothingness.

So, if Iron Man hits, Mr Fear still compares both effect dices?
