Added that answer to my previous post. "Stun" is sort of like "items", both never really made it to the *first* draft of the game. Well, items did, but only the 3HP health potions. Nothing else.

So stun, more items, etc. are unfinished pieces to the game that may show up in another round if we play again. Also, class specializations, etc. But let's cross that bridge when we come to it. You can give or receive independently of whatever else you are doing, provided you are in the same square.

Maybe to make it clearer, I will add item transfer as a third "choice" that can be made each turn. That's effectively what it is.

So if the Tank ability is activated, but no-one takes damage, is the ability wasted?

It does NOT require proximity. Ideally, it would, but I had trouble designing it to work otherwise.

So I guess just think of it as if the Warrior issuing a frightening shout from the pit of his stomach that hurts him, but distracts the enemy that would hit your party member. That's stretching it, but that's the best I've got right now.
The ability persists passively until it can be used. Like a trap waiting to be sprung.

That works! This is the fantasy genre afterall. I can suspend my disbelief easily here :~) If a mage can harness lightening to do his bidding, then a warrior oughta be able to do something astoundingly heroic such as closing an improbable distance to intercede an attack on his ally.

Haha, I suspended disbelief long enough to believe that. What I couldn't suspend it on was the idea that the warrior magically moves back to his original board position instantaneously.

Warrior uses his special shout to distract enemy combatant so that his attack misses but it saps his life energy ;)

Perhaps he throws a great stone, but strains a major muscle group in his haste... hence the damage to himself :~)

LOL, nice suggestions both of you.

I guess we are so deepy rooted in rpg rules that we can find out reason for just about anything and make ite believable ;)

no members of my team responded to my pm messages :(

White Elk is the only member of my team I have not spoken with

Ok, White Elk has posted here and PM'd me not too long ago, so he should be in touch with you shortly.

We've talked. :P I do believe our plan is about set up. but it might turn out to be a default if the other team doesn't get together xD

OK, I will message them as well. It's not your teams turn yet, so we have a little time to make sure that they are still going to be active.

It is a holiday today in the US, so if any of them are from the US then they may be spending the day with family/friends so they might not respond today but we'll see.

Also, if anyone reading this thread who is not currently playing the game wants to sign up to be a "reserve" just in case any of the members of the 2nd team become inactive, you are quite welcome to do so. (See the 1st post on page 1 and create a character).

Ok Landeril, as soon as you are ready to post your team's moves, you can do so. :)

got in contact with my team, now we're going to get some things together and post when ready :D
For the people in the USA, enjoy your memorial day holiday, we're in no hurry here, take it easy :D
