Danse Macabre OOC

@Internecion


Makin' an OOC as I start to write my poooost.

To clarify, when you say that your character is bringing his personal equipment, you do mean everything included in his bio under 'Personal.' If you, that's totally fine, awesome even! Just wanting to make sure.

I've pasted it below for public knowledge.

Personal:
Dual bracers - one housing miniature flame thrower, the other housing a concealed hold-out blaster with spread stun setting.
Bolas - 2 Magna Bolas, 2 Energy Bolas
Blasters - Double-barreled blaster carbine; sawed off variant, SMG fashioned compact repeater, tri-barreled repeater blaster rifle.
Slugthrowers - slug thrower sidearm; silenced variant with full-automatic setting, flechette pistol.
Net Gun - pistol variant; carries disabling electro-net cartridges, wounding razor net cartridges, and lethal monofilament net cartridges.
Grenades - 2 cryo grenades, 2 electro-net grenades, 2 glop grenades, 2 TDs, 2 concussion grenades - on a grenade sling wrapped around stomach region below chest plate of generic heavy armor.
Misc. Projectiles - 5 Rodian-repulsor throwing razors-biotic grenades.
Dual Bloodshine Red Lightsabers - interconnectable at ends, conjoined into saberstaff.

For clarification, I am bringing only the following, which is all listed in my character's bio.

Two automatic blaster pistols, a dual bladed saberstaff and a large vibro-combat knife

Ooooh, this is a cool idea for me to take on in future reference - to begin the OOC post of each thread, including equipment listed. This helps avoid so many issues further in, great idea yo!

Also, would you mind if I actually minimized that - looking at the equiment Ani-Ari has; would you mind if I clarified mine on an equal note, and just gave Internecion his own long handled saber staff, a single automatic blaster pistol (the smg styled repeater on the profile) on one hip, and the automatic slug thrower pistol in bio on the other hip?

If your cool with the revision, throw in his five rodian repulsor razors too?

The clearer your are the easier it is I've always found. But yeah, you're free to bring anything listed in your tech on the CS. I just want to make sure I know exactly what's being brought.

But yeah, them revisions are kewl with me.

Mind if we don't go by Manaan rules? I'm going to keep up postin but my RL is busy, don't want to freak out if I don't make a post every 48 hours.

 

[Internecion]

Nah man you don't have to worry about that, it's fine by me if we don't go by Manaan Rules - I'm grateful to brush up on my PvP against a player of your caliber, I wouldn't want you having to stress about this specific thread anyway. Honestly that's a lot more convenient for me as well.

So, reading your post mang, got a disagreement, sorry.

Reading your post, that's not how lasers and Duracrete work, at least not handheld lasers in that short amount of time. The only type of lasers in canon known to break through steel-dura/concrete in that short amount of time have been starfighter and stronger turbolasers. Unless you have an example of movie canon where that has happened, the only thing a laser would do is score the Duracrete

Now, lightsabers are much stronger than blasters, hence my mention of if the lightsaber cut through it. But consider this, Episode 1 Qui-Gon's lightsaber cuts through steel but it takes time(1-2 minutes to cut a full circle hole through a blast door, which would be able 2-3 feet thick.), Episode 4, the blasters of the Rebels only burn the steel walls(which would be about 6 inches thick, a fourth the size of our concrete), they don't punch through. So a piece of concrete, which is not conductive, is not going to shatter from blaster fire in that amount of time, not even fully auto blaster fire. See, the distance of your saber is about 2 meters from my character, that's when the dodge is already finished on my character's part. Assuming you withdrew your blaster at the between 3-5 meters, the moment my character dodges, then you'd barely have it out and ready by the time Ari has dodged.

If you had more time, I would agree with you that the block would disintegrate enough that the shards would be harmless, but we're talking about an instant that barely amounts to 1-2 seconds in real time for our characters. Yes, you're firing at the hip to save time, but that's not going to go for more than a few miliseconds. So you've got five shots that, at best hit together and giving the benefit of the doubt to break the concrete, wouldn't do much more than a lightsaber in breaking it into two pieces.

All that aside, looking at the damage you did take, if the hunk of duracrete hit your character with enough force to tear that pauldron off his shoulder, then you're looking at that shoulder being ripped out of socket or, at least, heavy bruising. As Ari isn't just throwing something at your character, she's gripping it and shoving it through him. So if a chunk large enough to tear off his pauldron hits him, then she's not going to let that chunk go through the Force.

Now, all this aside, all of it, I'm not saying there isn't a way to avoid this or avoid serious damage(I don't think there's a way to avoid ALL damage, but serious damage yeah). But this method of avoiding serious damage isn't something I agree with. Ya dig dog?
