I'm hoping that you'll be alright, whatever the problems may be Catsi. We're more then just folks behind a screen, feel free to talk about whatever it is if you want to, or you can keep it to your chest if you'd prefer.

@Ichigorno:
I think I need to bring home that while you can pick up weapons off the ground, they'll more likely then not be anywhere near as good as your own weapons- your claws. For one, while your claws have multiatack 2, this sword you picked up does not. With your close attack advantage, you do have just as much skill swinging a sword as you do your own claws- which brings up something else. Your attacks should all be running at +7 (3 fighting, 4 Close Attack). Yet it's +6 for your unarmed, but +8 for your claws. You're not breaking caps, but your scores are off slightly.

Now, if you continue to be something of an 'improvised fighter' picking up weapons as you go, you can feel free to disregard this advice. What you could do though is turn Close Attack 4 into the skill Close-Combat: Claws +4 for 2 PP, and a rank in Close Combat to bump it to +5. You'd have an extra PP to spend elsewhere after that.

If I'm misreading something on your sheet, please let me know.

Regarding initiative, that should actually be higher. Your super-speed grants you the Improved Initiative feat, not "Enhanced Initiative". The feat provides +4 with each rank, so your total initiative should actually be +10(6 agility, 4 Improved Initiative)

Changes made, per your recommendations and approval. Question: where does the +2 from his Claws power get added? I'd assumed that got added to the Attack bonus.
Thanks, and have a nice day :)

His claws are damage 2, which adds to the opposing toughness DC. Penetrating 2 means it can beat 2 ranks of the Impervious toughness ability. If you're claws had an accuracy bonus, then they would have the Accuracy power effect.

Close Combat: (generic) is a skill, specifically a combat skill. Specified as ai have a house rule in effect for non-combat skills where it's 1PP for 3 ranks, combat skills are the normal 1 for 2.

Ichigorno> Just to let you know about the option: If you wanted to you could use your HP to reroll that toughness save.
It lets you roll a second time, and if the result is 10 or lower on the unmodified roll you add 10 to the result. Anything over 10 (11-20) stays as it is and is added to your bonus.
Basically you can't roll below 11 before adding your bonuses.

So if you rerolled, even if you got a 1 on the dice you'd get an end result of a 17 on your toughness save. Save you a staggered status, and might even avoid the damage altogether.

Adding onto that, while I don't know what Extreme Effort is, you might be intending to say Extra Effort. Though what your asking for isn't really in it's capabilities. Ultimate Effort, the advantage, would be capable of giving you an Ultimate Resistance- though you don't actually have that.

Thanks, and have a nice day :)

I think her Aid for Eric has already expired- that was 2 rounds back, Cheyenne was last round, felix is this round.

I could be wrong- I'll admit I'm having a bit of trouble keeping rounds (and RL days) straight right now.
