Battles can last for a while, but in general we tend to wear the bad guys down sooner or later. And as resident combat monster, if you give me a chance to prepare, you do not want to see the level of pain I can lay down with an alpha strike  ;D I'm playing a son of Sun Wukong, and he takes after his dad ;)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2928371#msg2928371">Quote from: Thufir Hawat on 11-04-2010, 16:20:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Not being able to survive the same opponents the GM throws at the front line fighter might be a bit of a problem in a game where a fight can last for hours of real time, though. If you can survive them, but not do much against them other than being a distraction, it's still doable. If you go splat when they decide to fight you, the system makes your life harder, and who needs that?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Again, not necessarily. There are a few boons and knacks that can make it pretty hard for them to hit you. You can't do that much to them, but you can still soak or block the attacks against you, and if the bad guy is attacking you, the combat monster will make them pay :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2928371#msg2928371">Quote from: Thufir Hawat on 11-04-2010, 16:20:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Last time, the two players that couldn't fight on the front line started a one-shot with a different system after the characters were out of the fight :P.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>In Scion someone can still aid a fight even if they're not swinging weapons.
