				Well, he was teleported besides Zell to claw hole to the wall where you could snipe the gang members. Once wall hole was done it alarmed gang member and then I seem have mixed up Isaac's post with Zell it seems (who has not yet acted). So sorry for confusion :P. In essence Leo is now crouchign and firing shot through hole which he clawed moment ago and he has shifted back human form.

				So Leo's case it is his weapon level 5 x 7 dmg multiplier + 9 ACV. So total 42pts dmg per shot. Cosnidering it is not armor nor forcefield penetrating and leader looked have fancy gear so Leo is not reducing his dmg and hoping to hit shock value even through armor absortion.

				I think I see the confusion.&nbsp; Did I not make it clear that the wall that has to come down is in the building where the gangers are?<br><br>Let's say that the teleporter put you down in a spot close enough to the wall, which wouldn't be too difficult to do stealthily until the wall suddenly disappeared and the light started coming in from the side of the building.<br><br>So far as I can tell, most Attributes don't require an action unless it's either an attack, using an Item, or has the Activation quality.&nbsp; Picking up and ready a sniper rifle, though, would be a general action, so I'll count that as one of your actions and the first attack (the 13) will get through.<br><br>Oh, and I forgot to mention, but ACV and DCV cap at 9.&nbsp; That means that the accuracy bonus on the sniper rifle would bring it up to 12, but the cap is 9, so it doesn't count.&nbsp; If you want to move those points, let me know.

				Yep, 2pts for penetrating and 1 for piercing. Yeah, Leo is awesome as he can without scope fire sniper rifle and fire it off damn well (precise aim, blind shot, steady hands etc. he could fire to bulls eye from a jet plane :P).<br><br>Also note if he sees any firearm category weapons for gang to use, he has weapon encylopedia for them so he would know the 'specs' so to speak. Also I think it's fancy that his human alternative form is pistol/sniper guru because he as kid decided mimic form/shape of a anime characther (there comes his 6pts feature; handsome) who was weapon guru also. But in true form he has no idea how fire off a gun.

				Also, I don't have my book on me to check the math, but I see 11 ranks of Combat Techniques as a human.&nbsp; 3+3+1+3+1.&nbsp; Combining that with the ones innate to your form, you'd be way, way over the 10 mark.&nbsp; I'll double-check everything better when I have the chance.<br><br>Scentless could be a good one as a feature if you're based on an anime character and suddenly lose so much sense of smell and all.

				Scentless as 1pt feature? Works, that way he is very good scout as not dogs cannot smell him if he is near nor track him by scent :P.

				alright... here's the situation as I understand it... from the wall we made a hole in we could see all of our potential attackers, however opening the hole alerted them to our location... we shot at and took down the man we wanted to target but the leader escaped, as such I changed tactics for a close range battle as the gang would now be charging into the building, coming up the stairs as we are perched on the roof or a few floors down from the roof...<br><br>I will make my dice rolls once we have confirmed this is what is happening...

				Not quite.&nbsp; Sorry I've been unclear.<br><br>The gang is in a building I'm going to call Building A.&nbsp; Building B, the sniper location, is 150 meters away.<br><br>A big hole got clawed into the side of Building A, allowing the snipers to shoot inside.&nbsp; However, the gangers are not so blind as to miss a big hole getting clawed into their building.&nbsp; You guys automatically win init, but they aren't completely surprised enough that they can't dodge.<br><br>My impression is that you're at the bottom of Building A, setting up a spot to keep them inside.&nbsp; You can instead teleport to Building B if you so choose, where you have prime sniping position because there's a big hole.

				alright so now that this has been confirmed I need to change my post entirely because my sniper wouldn't be positioning himself at the hole, he would have positioned himself at the firing location... meaning Leo is on his own and Isaac and I are taking shots, it also means Zell wouldn't be holding Leo's weapon, unless I was teleported to the sniping position after the hole was made... which wouldn't make much sense as I would have taken defensive position with Leo...

				And then Leo's actions would not make any sense as he made hole specifically because so Zell could shoot on the gang members. He hoped to do it enough 'quiet' fashion so it's not detected but was wrong *shrug*.<br><br>But if Zell is not even there he would not even do the hole and instead sneak around as a small cat which rubs on gang legs while he gathes intel.

				Yeah, but this point I would say that Leo did hole and sniped through it on the boss and then moved take cover. So they think one sniper shot the gang member down and made shot on boss (so one guy is distraction while two real snipers fire from farther behind him).

				&nbsp;I think as far everything went it was a good first run. A little rough around the edges in some places but that's what tests are for. As for Theta I don't think she seemed to powerful at all. Speaking as one GM to another GMPCs or NPCs are whatever the tools a GM has to help move the story along. Unless you plan for a particular NPC to fight the party you don't need to stat them out. As far as I was concerned with Theta she seemed to function as a sort of data assesment and asistant A.I. if you will. She's kinda reminds me of Cortana from the Halo games. <br><br>While we the PCs have or own sets of skills and the chips allow for instant data transmission, it doesn't mean anything if we've nothing to transmit across it and Theta plays the part of that information transmitter. So I don't think she's over powered. Case in point I had Kira asked Theta to leave behind both some surveillence and "kamikaze" drones for the circle. None of the other PCs can do that. So she functions as a sort of Command and Asist A.I. than anything else.&nbsp; :-)

				I agree with Sessha.&nbsp; Things ran pretty smoothly, and Theta works out just fine.&nbsp; She neatly fills in the gaps without stealing spotlight from anyone.<br><br>As for shock value and looking it over, it does lean towards having people have high shock and high soul if they don't want to be rendered useless in a fight.&nbsp; It's good for fighting minions or low level opponents, but more cinematic fights with opponents on par or greater will be a bit rough.&nbsp; That being said, I think it could still be useful and does represent those moments when characters take a hit that shakes them.&nbsp; A small tweak maybe is instead of the stunned/unconscious they have listed, how about a -1/-3 penalty instead.&nbsp; So if a person fails their shock roll by their Soul or less, they take a -1 to their rolls on until the end of their upcoming turn for being a little winded from the blow.&nbsp; If they fail by more than their Soul, they take a -3 penalty instead.&nbsp; That way, shock doesn't rule the fight, but it isn't something to sneeze at either.

				Hmm... I don't want to be nitpicky and please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not sure if Kira can sense Rina with the Sixth Senses she has. In a world where high science and magic both exist and are explicitly different, I have always imagined Rina's powers as definitely falling much more on the scientific side of the continuum than the magical. Of the sources for Attributes suggested in the book, I would probably say the were Supernatural, since they're not explicitly genetic Mutations or Technological in nature (though ultimately they were caused by misuse of technology). <br><br>This is obviously just my opinion, but I see the dimensional barriers as being an innate part of the multi-verse and not intrinsically having any specific origin, though they can be manipulated by the appropriate powers with any origin. For instance, with her sixth sense for magic, Kira can detect the magical energy from a spell used to tear down the barriers, but probably couldn't have detected the lab accident that gave Rina her powers because that was technological in nature.<br><br>Andy, you have an opinion on how this should work?

				Sixth Sense wouldn't pick Rina up, but unless I misunderstand the attribute, Supersense would.&nbsp; It specifically detects things invisible to normal sight, and I'd figure that would apply to extradimensional entities.<br><br>That said, ULTRA is one of the few entities able to locate Rina technologically, and even they have an effective delay.&nbsp; Most of the world doesn't even know about extradimensional barriers.&nbsp; Rina may come up as the occasional "glitch" on things specifically designed with Supersense the same way we have pictures of ghosts nowadays, but in the same way as nowadays, such images would be overlooked.<br><br>The way I see it, a Nephilim charged with guarding the world from demons would have some talents in watching through the barriers in order to catch "flitters" who hide just on the other side and peek through.&nbsp; However, rereading Supersense, I'll agree that it's a little iffy, so Syene, if you don't want it to work on Supersense, we can talk with Sessha about some compromise in the way the attribute works.

				Oh -- I missed the supersense on Kira's character sheet! I would say a "Divine Sight" Supersense should be able to see her -- it seems reasonable that Kira could see her soul or have some ability to hazily see things coming through the barrier between words. On other other hand, a Supersense defined as radar or sonar obviously would not see her, as there's nothing physical to bounce the radio or sound waves off of.

				So,&nbsp; the synopsis for my second novel is nearly complete in my brain.&nbsp; Ordinarily, this would be a cause for celebration as I can completely delve into ChrysChron, but I'm worried about the attempt to work on a novel while simultaneously running a game.<br><br>I expect I'll need another week or so for polish before I really get into it, and I don't expect to have much trouble finishing up the current mission, but when that's done, I was wondering about the possibility of having someone take over as GM for this game for a bit while I handle the novel.<br><br>Although I may be able to do both, I had a really hard time trying to handle a decent number of games simultaneously with ChrysLab, so I'm trying to give advance warning and look into possibilities before I begin.&nbsp; However, I don't want to wait too long or else the muse dies on the novel.<br><br>Would someone be interested in taking the reins?&nbsp; Would I be better off just pausing for a few months or so?&nbsp; Or should I just try to plow through both at once?

				&nbsp;I'll throw my two cents in on this one.&nbsp; Speaking from experence I would have to say pausing a game could turn out to be a very bad idea. I've seen several games where they took a pause in the middle of it and for some reason it all just fell apart at the seams.

				Well, if you take long pause it's better shutdown the game completely than leave it linger around to have side thread constantly active as it makes game fall off. Howeve rmiracles do occur, like one game in Rpol which ended because the GM couple who ran it got immigration problem (husband was not native US citizen so was send back to Canada because of mix up in immigration papers which resulted in cancelation of his stay).<br><br>However, after two years the couple is ready pick up the game again once one of them graduates in June from university when she has time to devote herself to the game again.<br><br>So question is how long the pause would last? And once pause is over you can send mass PM's to all of us check up can we rejoin the game again? But besides this I am open minded for someone other pick up reins as GM so long they have motivation to continue and run the game.

				Zaer, going to wait for a bit to let the others post, but I'll answer your questions.<br><br>The gun cannot point in on itself.&nbsp; It's basically on a huge turret that can spin all over the island but you could hop into a tiny point where it'd swivel around but couldn't hit you.&nbsp; From there, you could definitely start tearing up some wires.<br><br>The maid has Rank 1 of Superspeed.&nbsp; It'll take her about twenty seconds to reach you if she uses only Superspeed and normal climbing capabilities.&nbsp; You have no idea if she's capable of more than that.<br><br>Slipping into the cannon would definitely slow her down, and she'd have to crawl in to go after you, but you wouldn't be able to hide from her forever that way.&nbsp; It'd buy you a few seconds, but you'd either have to match her superspeed or get caught, or keep going onto the other side of the island down the mountain and then attempt to hide.&nbsp; Getting out of her reach is possible with areas with more trees, though, assuming she doesn't have any Jumping or Flight capabilities, Elasticity or similar features.<br><br>I wrote down their stats before this all started, but you probably already realize that.<br><br>But let's hold off a bit and let the others post if they want to.

				Ok, thanks for all the info. At moment I am considering leap down onto base of cannon and go all my fury rage mode on the maid. As both cannon nor maid has blood in them Leo could safely fight and he is far away from others so his scent also would not detect blood (if not some weird reason blood rituals are used empower cannon and maids).

				Hmm, ok. I remember flexible subracted -1 per rank from defense. A question though; if I get injured, I likely go blood rage from that so what would be target number to 'resist' going frenzy?

				Wait....you do know I have 4 as my soul value? So even if I roll nat 12 with soul stat roll and get 16 as possible max. TN 20 would mean I would not never make the check :P. I do not have mind shield attribute either.

				&nbsp;I think there was a rule in the book that allowed for PCs to expend I believe it was 50 energy points to negate an action. Now without double checking this I can't really be sure so don't go quoting me on it and if someone finds out differently then please correct me on it.&nbsp; :-)
