LoveGuitarRod: Protected "Brace" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

'''In-Game Command Syntax:''' +brace <attacker>

Brace encompasses, narratively, a lot more than just putting one’s arms in front of their face and passively taking a hit, perhaps skidding back a little or being blown off their feet entirely if they fail. Skillfully rolling with a hit is a brace. Actively blocking, parrying, or magically shielding oneself are all brace tactics. Want to punch a beam and stop it with sheer awesomeness? Want to cut an incoming attack in half with a sword? That’s brace, generally (and counter, occasionally). The brace reaction is not binary; one may brace more or less damage, or none at all.

'''Reaction Advantages:''' Brace has the lowest chance to entirely fail on a reaction, and on average mitigates more damage than dodge in general, and, at higher levels of investment, outperforms counter as well. The Brace stats, Vitality and Spirit, also resist debuffs, so even if one is struck by an attack, odds are they’ll very possibly resist any exotic effects!

'''Reaction Disadvantages:''' Magical attacks are braced against with the Spirit stat, while physical attacks are braced against with the Vitality stat (and many of the Brace abilities are also split by incoming attack type) so for a character to be great at bracing everything, there’s a higher Character Point investment involved than for the dodge reaction. Brace has the lowest chance to critically succeed, so opponents will rarely be denied their successful attack morale gain.

'''Abilities that improve Brace:''' Advanced Brace, Block, Parry, Hollow Body, Magic Cancel

'''Flags that punish Brace:''' Penetrating, Barrier Breaking

'''Flags that debuff Brace:''' Stagger, Stun

'''Flags that buff Brace:''' Withstand

LoveGuitarRod: Protected "Behavior" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

Akin to the IC guidelines in [[Rating]], on an OOC level, we recognize that hopefully if you are hanging out on MUSH between scenes, you are here to talk to your friends!

Still, we ask for a certain minimum of decorum on the open channels. How you want to talk to your friends is your own business, but please try to keep Public respectful. Nobody minds a few swears, but if you are using it as a pause word or f-bombing like a Tarantino movie, you may be asked to stop by administration.

This goes double for Guest. If you are not interested in managing yourself with decorum, we ask that you remain off of the Guests channel. Failure will result in, at the least, being removed from the channel.

We recognize not everyone is going to like each other. We respect that; sometimes people just rub each other wrong. It is part of living and that's fine. But we do ask that you in turn respect our wish for a peaceful environment. Be honest, be kind, work hard to help other characters feel awesome, and be awesome yourself. In other words, don’t be a jerk. The object of the game is to have fun. '''If someone is making you uncomfortable in any way, please don’t hesitate to bring it to their attention, and then to the staff’s, if the problem persists.''' We do not have a coded gripe system; in our experience it just makes it easier to ignore such problems. Please ask a staff member directly if you feel you need to have a mediated intervention.

Application: Master Rank Advancement

2013-09-08T21:30:59Z

LoveGuitarRod: Protected "Application: Master Rank Advancement" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

This is the application to advance your character's Master Rank. Please send it to battlefantasiastaff@gmail.com. Please review [[Advancement]] before writing your application.

0. What is your current, pre-advancement Master Rank?

1. How long has it been since your last rank up, or since you made the character? If applicable, are you invoking a Team Rank Clock?

2. What is the value of your Total Character Points (listed in +cp on the game)?

3. What plot have you done to justify this advancement? How is your master rank advancement reflected in the story? Ideally, please link us the logs of this plot; the plot must be run before the application is submitted.

4. If applicable, is the rest of your team ready to advance? If not, why should we make an exception?

5. Please break down any Character Point Expenditures, Henshin Rank increases, entirely new Henshin Forms or other combat system consequences that you would like to fold into this big, dramatic moment for your character. If you would like the staff to do your stats for you, please describe the aesthetics of what you're looking for, including attack names.

Accept

LoveGuitarRod: Protected "Accept" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

'''In-Game Command Syntax:''' +accept <attacker>

Sometimes it’s time to accept one’s defeat at the hands of a glorious enemy. Other times, an incoming attack isn’t offensive in nature, but carries with it healing or buffs! Either of those times are an appropriate time to use +accept -- and in the latter case, in fact, to do otherwise is cheating.

Accepting an attack does not alter existing reaction penalties. An attack that is accepted cannot count as a successful attack for the purposes of an attacker's once-a-round successful attack morale gain; to gain that extra morale, an attack must have a chance to fail.
