A perfect example has come up!
Flashdance's initiative is higher than Solo's. He sees our resident bloodthirsty drawing a gun to finish off BDK #5. With a Yellow Agility FEAT, he may change his action from teleporting to the top of the bus to trying to stop Solo from executing the hobbled thug. Regardless of whether or not the change action on initiative FEAT fails, what ever Flashdance does (if he is indeed trying to change his action) that action (stopping Solo or teleporting) will be at -1CS.
Of course, because he saw Solo pull his gun on the downed thug, if Flashdance doesn't try to stop Solo from killing, he'll lose Karma if Solo does kill.

Solo's declared actions reminds me of this. LOL

LOL!!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Yup Solo is much like the Governator. And that will be Solos response to the Heroes when they try to make him stop shooting people.

Oh, comment on Shockwave's action, I realize it likely will result in a crash landing. Shockwave gets to learn that the hard way.

Thanks for the clarification, DSk. I appreciate it. Too many campaigns, I guess losing karma when a Judge announces that a character 'failed to prevent the death of XX'. Heroes would be just as screwed up by failing to prevent someone from dying than if they had done nothing at all. Kinda like when Spiderman failed to arrest Gwen Stacy's fall properly after the Jackyl dropped her, he was messed up for a long while.

Hmm...reading all these retcon actions. Is that allowed without making a sacrifice to Mephisto to rewrite the timeline? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Mephisto is one of my favorite villains. Say his name thrice in a thread and... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Technically, Spider-Man killed her, his web-catch snapped her neck LOL

I was considering a flying rescue of Felicia, but then pictured similar results as my armor impacted her at high speed.

Most of my tabletop games have players that are kill-happy (Punisher, Wolverine, Venom, etc.) so what they lose in killing and property damage, they win in role-play and stopping villians. It balances out. As this is first and foremost a role-playing game, characters that are not apathetic about killing betta act like it.

I tend to go through karma like water anyway, so I normally shouldn't have too much issue losing it.

Looks like I'll be adding grass stains and mud as well. Hopefully not Felicia's brain matter along with that.
