I have a question about Grind the Gears. Since it says it gives the Clockwork an extra action, could that also be an extra reaction, letting R3N-L3 tank twice?
Jul 31, 2025 1:54 pm
OOC:
I'd also like to ask if you'd allow R3N-L3 to spend his action for the turn as a reaction
Jul 31, 2025 2:38 pm
OOC:
I’m not sure if the rules specifically let you do that but I’ll allow it.
Jul 31, 2025 3:03 pm
OOC:
RAW, you only get one reaction per round unless a talent or spell specifically says otherwise. Actions also aren't interchangeable with reactions. Just in case you wanted to know what's in the book. Whatever Brainy says goes. :)

OOC:
Ye, it's just my personal ask, definitely not RAW by the book. If the GM's still fine with that, I'll dewit

Wolfram cries out, and gasps, falling to the ground, cuts oozing blood all over his body, and the world starts to dim and go dark.
OOC:
I'm not sure of the definition of incapacitated in this game. Is he still conscious and not able to do anything or even move?

OOC:
Wolfram is prone and unconscious. If he takes any damage while incapacitated, his Health score is reduced by that much instead. (Remember: Damage can't be higher than Health, so it would also be lowered to his new Health score.) At the end of any round, incapacitated creatures must make a luck roll. On a success, they heal 1 damage and are no longer incapacitated. On a failure, their Health score is reduced by 1d6. Health being reduced to 0 kills the character.

Got it. Updated my post.

OOC:
Although I am waiting to confirm if Brainiac lets me pour all of R3N-L3's actions into reactions, so hold off on any posts just yet

OOC:
Go ahead and take your reactions.

As the Redcaps lunged forward, so did R3N-L3, dropping the culinary gift he had been offering in favor of unsheathing his sword in a glittering arc, which was coated in a strange grey flame. Two of the Redcaps attacking Wolfram found their daggers grating with a screech of steel against the warform, before R3N-L3 spun around with a scream of gears to slam his shield against the third redcap's blade, narrowly deflecting it from Lauretta.

"Operational parameters exceeded." R3N-L3 grated out, an errant spark and burst of steam emanating from his helmet. Something inside him ground to a shuddering stop, as the sapphire light faded from his helm's eye sockets.
OOC:
Using his Reactions to shield all three attacks, which means he does no actions. However, since his sword imposes 1 Bane to attacks, that actually means that none of the attacks get through his beefy 21 defense! He does suffer the penalty for Grind the Gears, though, so R3N-L3 is now a very large statue until someone spends an action to reboot him

OOC:
What an absolute unit. Though I think there was an error in the code for the first Horrid Cut anyway. It added the two d20s together rather than roll them individually. So I believe it should have missed. That would mean only two attacks would have landed.

Since Wolfram is down, Lauretta is the only other fighter now. Tzal is going to spend his action in turning R3N-L3's key once the new round starts.

Wolfram isn't down, R3N-L3 cashed in all his stuff to block all of the attacks, so nobody took damage. Although he did temporarily become a statue for the privilege

Oh wow.
Wolfram rises slowly from the dead....😜

As R3N-L3 goes inert, the burning powrie manages to extinguish his flames.
OOC:
Yes, R3N-L3 tanks the hits so Woflram takes no damage. It is the start of round 2, so anybody who wants to take the initiative and act first may do so now!

R3N-L3 is naturally not going to be taking init...Because he technically isn't back up yet xP

Wolfram hurls himself forward, teeth locked in a rictus of rage, as he advances on the recap that tried to slice and dice him. Bright yellow flames erupt along the length of the blade.
OOC:
Flame Kissed in use.

Tzal moved closer to R3N-L3 and started turning the key to reanimate him.

It was easy to visualize the threat that the wretched faeries and their deadly cutters posed after seeing scrapes they left on R3N-L3's metal form. She was certain Wolfram would have been laying in a pool of his own blood. Lauretta gritted her teeth, angry and focusing her glare at one of the redcaps that had escaped the flames from earlier. Her great axe swung with supernatural force as the Preceptor tried to cleave the creature in twain.
