Me not taking a hit from a moon punter isnt godmodding, though it puta a limit on that character. Otherwise you are godmodding in nearly every interaction as your (non sepcofic your) view of the limits most likely varies from other peoples.(08-10-2015, 03:17 AM)Oilbasedoleander Wrote: What exactly is there to divulge in?Yeah, I thought that was pretty clear, but it's been obfuscated by a lot of confused posting missing the point about what they thing godmoding is. The idea is to not enforce arbitrary limits on another character without their say.
Do not control my character's actions.
Do not control my character's reactions.
If you have to fight, have an outcome of "knockout only" or "mercy" if killing isn't the end result either desires. If you can't come to an agreement on who should be the winner, and the other person is not taking any hits and you are, you're just going to have to roll off on every move and hope your hit lands on target or misses.
I've fought free-style and had a blast. My character nearly died :O But it was dramatic and quite worth it.
I've also fought with dice/roll and it was also a lot of fun. We'd laugh at how close the rolls would be sometimes and would base our moves on the hit or miss.Â
Both ways are enjoyable especially if you have someone willing to give and take along side you.
You're correct, not taking any hits during an RP fight is not grouped with god-modding. I was not trying to state that part should be lumped in under that definition. But they were talking about RP fights and fairness so I threw my two cents in on the subject.
It does, however, make you this unimaginably over-powered to someone you're fighting with and is quite a let down. Drama and action can't be a one-way street, there needs to be give and take for some enjoyment on both ends.
Which is why the roll off system is wonderful and highly recommended for fairness.
Unless you want your character to be flawless and over-powered.
Then... Good luck to you (most of these you's are generalized, haha).
