Out of Character (OOC)

Sep 28, 2025 10:57 pm
This thread is for table talk and out of character discussions. You can also discuss combat strategy, tactics and combos between your PCs here, specially if it's not related to the current scene.

Rolls

Power Roll! - (2d10+1)

(82) + 1 = 11

Another roll - (2d10+3)

(25) + 3 = 10

Better luck this time? - (2d10+5)

(810) + 5 = 23

Something in between - (2d10+2)

(25) + 2 = 9

Maybe? - (2d10+2)

(84) + 2 = 14

We will continue when everyone has introduced their characters. =)

By the way, And I don't know if this would be a lot of work for our GM in this system, but I am totally OK with having our inititive rolled for us all at once, down the line if it speeds things up.
Thoughts everyone?

Actually, I'll roll it in the future, its not individual rolls. You will just choose each PC's starting location.

This time, the roll was part of the tutorial; for some, it's their first power roll.

By the way, if you hit the grey book by your character name in the list of your characters it makes it so the rest of us can see your character.

Uploading the last part of this interview because I like James's pitch of his (he was the lead designer, it gets to be his as well as the rest of the team's) game. (the start at embed isnt working, go to 1:29:03, or jump to it externally HERE)

I'm still trying to understand the Free attacks.
Yeah, this can be a little confusing at first.

"Free strikes" in Draw Steel are called that not because they don’t cost anything to use, but because they’re available to everyone by default. They aren’t one of your limited, special Class abilities that you usually pick during character creation — everyone gets access to them automatically.

It is also the one used by your Opportunity Attack.

Thank you for letting us know. =)

We need to hightail it to Obsidian and Shrike before they get overwhelmed. Does anyone have any AoE abilities, or is it just one target per?

Also, am I missing something, is there a reason I would use ray of wrath (other than the cool name) over blessed light, when the latter does slightly more damage and has the additional benefit of giving surge?

Oops. My fault. Ray of Wrath is your (slightly better than usual) ranged free strike. Sometimes, you cannot use a regular main action, just a free strike.

I improved the description in your character sheet.

Marbin only have single targets. Preferably single targets not next to allies. Though he has a range of 10.
Oct 16, 2025 12:44 pm
Yeah, it looks like, at least for the Conduit class, AoE powers come in at later levels.

We also don't have access to our 3-insight and 5-insight abilities where I would think most area attacks would be.

I feel like we are getting a bit overrun, but I will have to take my next main action to heal.

So does using my jump ability in combat add to damage or anything?

No... Jump alllows you to avoid pits, chasms, difficult terrain, obstacles... But don't change your damage.

Hey folks! Just a quick heads-up in advance — I’ll be traveling starting next Wednesday for about a week. I won’t have access to a computer, just my phone, so my posts might be shorter or a bit sporadic while I’m away. I’ll do my best to keep things moving, but replies may be slower than usual.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for the head's up!
I hope travel goes smoothly for you.
