Exactly, it's up to me to decide my character's reaction, you can't just assume my character fails

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

for a doctor he sure seems to not know how to treat people with objects sticking out of them to prevent blood loss death

where did he go to school, the dark ages

[Alice]

The problem is that we have to be fairly careful about it in your (lantz's) case, since if it were up to you, Toshi would never fail at anything ever except out of plot contrivance. This is why Toshi seems more OP than even, say Tom for instance, despite the former technically supposedly being weaker than the latter, because he always apparently has a solution for every problem and cannot fail unless it's done via contrivance.

[Cherry Lover]

Regardless of whether that is true or not, we still shouldn't decide success or failure on his behalf. If there is an issue with him acting unrealistically, then that is for the GM to handle.

No, no, I getcha. I think that what I've done makes sense. Lucas regained conscious due to being healed (even if it was only a little bit) + the iron restraints/swords being removed. I think that him pushing Satoshi back makes sense… besides, he won't really be able to move for a couple of days. Plenty of time to track him down if you so desire >.> (though it'll be hard).

I'm going to wait for Elf's verdict on this one, but if she says you have a point, no hard feelings: I'll edit it.



E: At the very least, I'll probably be taking out the part where he runs off soon (when I can sit down at my computer again)

Fair enough. I will accept that.

Though I will raise lantz's tendency to want and try and magically solve everyone's problems with his characters to the point where some of their actions have seemed rather contrived with little effort or consequence as an issue, as this does seem to be happening over and over and over again. Having him be able to stop Lucas, who it took Tom (who is quite OP on his own) and Shirou together just to disable, all on his own with no repercussions for his own stupidity in healing Lucas up whatsoever would only emphasize the problem further. The fact that lantz talks quite frequently about wanting to solve other characters' problems in the thread quickly and easily (reviving Daiki's characters for instance) as well proves my point further.   

[Cherry Lover]

Well, yes, he certainly shouldn't be able to just restrain Lucas easily. But, then, Lucas is still very weak, even with the healing, so it's not quite so impossible.

Alice you need to stop cramming words in my mouth, you have no idea what you are talking about.

...How!?!?

You've been pulling that shit with him since the very start of the RP.

GM Ruling, honestly for this due to the rules I set up, I would have to say that it needs to be Lucas pushing at Satoshi.  Then Satoshi responds.

However, I doubt he'd be able to throw his tongue into some back yard garden.  That's sort of pushing it.  Forest, as previously said, lives in a more industrial side of town not near any suburbs.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

If he wants to kill himself though, he should be able to do that rather easily.

True that, but he's not going to be able to do it in a place where he can reasonably respawn though.

Yeah, I'd say I agree with this. The tongue being thrown into someone's backyard did seem a bit far, but it definitely makes sense that Lucas would be able to move faster than Toshi could counter, especially being as powerful as he seems to be.

Though in terms of locations, based on how I have it mapped out in my head, it'd fly in the opposite direction of where Lancer and Mille are looking at poor Ruu's body, as mentally I figured that the two holes are on different sides of the building. ...If I'm wrong on that though, either Magos or Daiki can straighten that out for me, since they were the main ones involved in that fight (the one upstairs that is). ^^"

K, gotcha. Gonna make those edits.


E: And done

Danke.  That works a lot better.

No problem.
