Heroica RPG General Discussion

I think maybe it has a 50/50 chance, right?

Nope. Blinded enemies (and Heroes) don't Counterstrike.

[-obelix-]

I dont think so

I think so too, since counterstrike would deal physical damage to attacker - which can't be dealt by a blind target.

Thanks for confirming, I thought so too.

Kintobor leave Captain Patricia alone. Arnulf plans taking her on dinner . She seems like a woman of his life

[Kintobor]

Don't tell me that! Now I know where she's going to be!

[Bricksandparts]

What happens if two quests have the same core NPC in them and the parties meet or the NPC dies? For example, Patricia.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Argh! Blinded. I somehow got that mixed up with confused, where you have a 50/50 chance to hit a friend.

CJP, read my comment in 67...

[Capt.JohnPaul]

I did.

Then obviously the quests happen at different times.

[Bricksandparts]

Then obviously the quests happen at different times.

That could lead to pretty strange paradoxes, but no real in-game time doesn't make sense either.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Quest #67- Fixed now, I didn't realize I quoted the wrong round.

[Flare]

That could lead to pretty strange paradoxes, but no real in-game time doesn't make sense either.

If one quest the heroes are with Patricia and in another one she... Lets say... Is murdered, then obviously the latter one happened afterwards. No paradox.

[Bricksandparts]

I'm talking about actions the NPC did. Say they left Eubric, or someone else affiliated with them died, then was alive in the other quest when meant to be dead.

[Scubacarrot]

Patricia is not going to die unless I say so and is not going to be in a quest unless I say so, so it doesn't matter.

[Dannylonglegs]

I'm pretty sure real-time is non-existent. On an average, Quests last one day, and RP between quests seems like a day's discussion (usually) so if you're trying to affix a time system to Heroica, it'll end up that what we've been doing for about 2 years has all taken place over the course of a few months, instead of the debatable 2 in-game years.

Unless you start talking about quests like 48. 6 months for 1 night. My point is that NPC story lines could get pretty messy with them being in multiple quests.

What?

[Scubacarrot]

What?

You're speculating over what would happen, but it would never happen. If an NPC can/will die in a quest, I'm sure the people responsible make sure they are not in other quests at that moment.

[Flipz]

What?

Generally, it's considered rather rude to use someone else's NPC without permission, and killing off someone else's NPC without permission is even worse. A LOT worse.

[Dannylonglegs]

What?

I think that happened with Althior and Umbra recently, and it was decided that the non-Sandy-related events occurred before 66. No problem. Not that anyone died, of course.

Patricia is Scubba's NPC, therefore, he makes the call. I wouldn't want someone killing off the Po Brothers or Fleur without my permission.

[Bricksandparts]

I'm just wondering, because Patricia is a core NPC, who has been in multiple quests. What quests are she in currently? Karie could try and kill Patricia later in quest 70.

[Flipz]

Although now this discussion has made me consider potential ways to deliberately kill off the same character in multiple Quests as either a Mind Screw or else a running gag (a la "They Killed Kenny").

I'm just wondering, because Patricia is a core NPC, who has been in multiple quests. What quests are she in currently? Karie could try and kill Patricia later in quest 70.

She is still Scuba's NPC, so...

In none, that I am aware off. In 70 the lieutenant just looks like her.

If Sandy wanted to kill her off, and I think he'd be the only one making that decision , he would contact me first, I hope.

[Bricksandparts]

But Karie might bring her into the quest. She has vowed revenge for her sister. So I'm just wondering what will be decided.

[Scorpiox]

Flare, I appreciate what you're trying to roleplay at the moment; however, I'd rather do that when the quest's failure isn't at stake. Yes the chance of killing the foes is small, but 1/12 chance of failing the quest is far worse than no chance at alI. I would ask you to please withdraw Benji's attack this round.

I'm not really sure what your point is...
