Re: Tweaking Attacks During Combat

Yeah, I guess what I was trying to say is, it's something that the book gives you that you can do in combat (not so much a third option, but just something that's also... there? I don't know how to explain it. Kamikaze Strike also existed in the previous version of OVA, as its own "thing" ...

Tweaking Attacks During Combat

So, after some pondering on OVA's combat system, there are essentially three kinds of options in combat. First are what I'll call "actions." Actions are used on your turn. Most (like attacks) can be used multiple times, by taking a penalty of -1 per action, but some (like recovering) take ...

Re: Fate/Stay Night Character- first Character Done For OVA

Re: A "Modern" RPG community

Discord is definitely where I'm finding myself more and more for communities. A lot of people are using it and Discord servers are relatively easy to set up and manage. (One of the reasons I've come onto the forums just now is to ask if anyone had the idea to set one up, in fact!) I like the forums ...
