Skills:
- Close combat
-- Grappling
-- Punching

Sheet for the Fascist Kaiju. I forgot to mention, you may make it extra hard by selecting one extra ability for her. Like with action votes, she gains the first ability to reach three votes

OTACHI
Concept:
- Fascist Kaiju

Aspects:
Combat - Def. 2 - HP 6

Skills:
- Close combat
-- Grappling
--- Prehensile tail
- Spitting
- ((You choose anon))


Abilities:
Flight - Upon three turns of successful grapple attacks in a row Otachi may lift her opponents up in the air, reducing the attack die of her opponent by 1
Acid Spit - A successful ranged attack lowers the combat defence of Otachi’s opponent by 1 in addition to doing damage

>>29489403
This is a playtest. One where I put in fluff because I feel like it, but in the end a PLAYTEST. Quite different from a quest.

Anyway, TEST START!

Setting: Nakhodka Bay, east of Vladivostok. Cherno Alpha begins at the end of the A188, Otachi at the harbour 1km southwest of Cherno's postion. Movement speed is loosely 500m per turn.

It is essentially a quest thread. You are doing what QMs do. Have people roll in the thread, then you do an update.

>>29489808

Gotta say I agree with this anon, though I totally want to play.

It's an uneasy truce that the quest and anti-quest fags have. They'll shit up the thread if we don't let them easily filter.

>>29489881
Exactly. I'm trying to keep your thread from being shat upon.

>>29489915
in that case lets get this shit storm on the road and kick some Kaiju arse

>>29489960
Well you guys can do that once
>>29489403
is done. Otherwise someone is going to shitpost.

>>29489881

I duly apologise if I offend someone's sensibilities but I just do not see a playtest and a quest as the same thing. I judged that by the standard set by the anon that ran those FATAL fecht threads. Those were not marked quests either and are pretty much the same thing as what I'm trying to do here. Largest difference between the two as far as I see it is that I'm using a functional system of course.

>>29489881
>>29489915
>>29489808
Eugh. You guys are worse than questfags and antiquestfags put together. It's just nauseating. To hell with your arbitrary unenforceable compromises that matter not to either quests or this thread.

Keep calm and carry on.

>>29489972
No one is going to shitpost. Someone is, however, going to kick kaiju ass. Let's focus on that.

TURN 1:

TURN 2:
OTACHI uses acid spit! Rolling to hit!
(Base d6 + Spitting d6)

>>29490804

Damage: 4 points - 3 def. = 1 point of damage
EXTRA: Acid spit reduces def by 1.

Because of the charge Cherno Alpha is too late to step aside the stream of biting acid and is showered by it. The blue poison corrodes away a massive slab of armour and damages several internal systems. However, the mighty Cherno is a jeager built to last: Redundancies kick in so fast that it barely pauses as it proceeds to:

General reminder: You can either charge or use the flamers, not both at the same time.

That would be grappling.

>>29490963
>>29490981
Also a clarification on how the flamethrower works: The turbines confer a flat d6 extra damage on a successful hit. This means that you get to roll 2d6 to hit (Base d6 + Flamethrowing skill). IF this attack hits THEN you roll another d6 worth of damage to add up to it. Note that the turbines can be used in melee if so desired!

(Lastly I'm kind of surprised no one's charging given that it's mechanically the best option if I'm looking at Cherno's sheet)

>>29491524
Can we combine charging with piledriving?

>>29491555
As it stands, on a successful charge you gain a (degrees of succes) number of free turns to do horrible things to Otachi. So yes you can piledrive Otachi, then proceed to do other horrible things to her as a follow up without giving her the chance to retaliate. Piledriving counts as a grappling attack.

((I'm thinking the URAAA ability needs to be revamped, now that I'm looking it over.))

>>29491703
> As it stands, on a successful charge you gain a (degrees of succes) number of free turns to do horrible things to Otachi

That contradicts what you posted earlier:

> URAAAH! - Cherno Alpha may roll to charge. When doing so, the task resolution chart is used. Upon a success, Cherno gains a free extra turn to do horrible things to it’s opponent.

This says only one extra turn, not degrees of success.

>>29492065
Oops. It's supposed to be number of degrees of success that determine the number of free turns. Yes I am aware this way lies a potential one shot, hence why I'm thinking it's a bit too OP at the moment. On the other hand, it's fucking Cherno Alpha charging, and Cherno is not exactly the lightest Jeager in existence.

>>29491703
If we succeed on the grapple, can we attempt a non lethal takedown?

Yeah. So. 4 turns worth of free attacks.

Might need to nerf that ability in the future.

>>29493511
Whups, forgot to post the write up.

Undeterred by the molten armour dripping from it's front, Cherno continues it's unstoppable charge. The agile Otachi realises it's mistake and desperately tries to get out of the way of the Russian behemoth but, in the abandoned trainyard that is the battlefield, there is nowhere to hide. Nowhere to run. There is only the fury of Cherno's mighty bulk as it smashes into the filthy beast that dared defile Mother Earth with it's presence. Fuelled by the primal hate of the entire human race as well as solid, bulky Russian nuclear reactor Cherno smashes into Otachi like a freight train, dazing the creature as Cherno:

> [ ] Punches it with the mighty fists powered by pure hate, Russian engineering genius and of course Tesla lightning! ((Punch, 4d6))
> [ ] Breaks the fascist Kaiju's back through superior Soviet Wrestling skills! ((Grapple, 3d6))
> [ ] Gives it a warm Russian welcome with it's nuclear powered Flamethowers! ((2d6 to hit + another d6 of raw damage

You can pick four attacks from this list. Creative write ups may get a bonus to damage.

>>29493881
Grapple -> flamethrower -> piledriver -> punch.
Grab it in a bear hug, burn the bastard, then piledrive it. Then punch it in the face for good measure.

>>29494037
I dunno. I think

Left hook -> Right hook -> Piledriver -> Turbines

Would be better. Looking at the sheet a punch is 4d6 while piledriver, going by >>29491703 counts as a grapple which is only 3d6. Turbines are iffy because it's only 2d6 to hit.

I'm just not seeing it. Probably has to do with those cold mechanics you're citing, makes it kind of boring. Come on, make me see it! Otachi's probably dead by the end of it, so give some form of proper finisher or something. Hell maybe something for the pilots to yell at the end of it. Right now it's just kind of boring...

Yes yes I said it was a playtest not a quest but good write ins are part and parcel of the system in my opinion.

Rolled 4

>>29496335
(insert witty fire related pun here)

Otachi, upon seeing death incarnate approach in the form of the towering Cherno Alpha, desperately tries to hop out of the way. The scaly beast barely dodges Cherno’s lariat with an awkward hop and stretch. This last awkward dodge has two side-effects however. One, a crazy, deaf and drunk hobo that tried to piss on the Kaiju is reduced to a red smear as the beast steps on his head. Two, she cannot dodge the follow up wall of fire that Cherno sends forth to burn this scourge of the face of the earth.

Burn damage: 1 + 4 = 5! Otachi reduced to 1 HP!

Blinded by the roiling flames, screeching in pain, the Kaiju decided discretion is the better part of valour and tries to retreat. It’s maddened crawls allow it to just slip out of Cherno’s grip as the mighty Russian attempts an epic propaganda coup by imitating one of Russia’s most famous wrestling moves. However, then the mighty giant stops as fresh orders come in from high command. With the Kaiju this hurt, alongside with Cherno’s tesla fists, the local Pan-Pacific Defense Corps wants to try the impossible: Capture. Shrugging as much as it can, Cherno lumbers over to the blinded Kaiju’s head, places a fist on either side and unchains the wrath of the thundergod. The entire Kaiju shakes, seizes up, and falls unconscious.

Punch damage: 1 Otachi reduced to 0 HP! Otachi is KO!

END RESULT: Total victory! The capture of Otachi reveals a lot more about the Kaiju’s make up, and even ends up in a massive intelligence coup as a way through the rift is discovered. Stuffed like a turkey with all the nukes Humanity can scrounge together, the unconscious Kaiju is delivered to the breach, sealing it in a cataclysmic explosion and saving the world!
