You could, but it would still be a failure. It'd be a highly successful failure, but Eclipse Phase uses a blackjack system. The higher your roll is, the more likely it is to win in an opposed roll-off, but the less likely you'll get additional success. If you roll low, you'll get a spectacular success, only if your opponent fails (or manages to roll lower). This keeps critical (Correction: Exceptional) hits low among people with high degrees of skill.

That said, spending a point of moxie to dodge a little girl slapping you because you were oogling her inappropriately strikes me as rather trivial.

Krylo: Eh, bleeding... Also you fail biology forever.

not sure I understand, but I'll get the hang of it later on. and sorry if I delayed things too much. I thought we were posting as us already being on the station interacting with one another, not in-transit

[krogothwolf]

Haha, you had to put where you were, Nyx hadn't have arrived on the station(not exactly)yet so when you put out there you greeted her, you put yourself in transit.

[Aerozord]

hmm thought it was part of the station, oh well it still works so no big deal

[Aerozord]

not too bad, I mean its turn based combat so she can do them all at once. Issue I see though is being able to alter rolls with moxie complicating things since she cant resolve then entire thing at once

[krogothwolf]

Why not just have her higher a morph bodyguard?

That way she'd have protection and fun!

[Dracorion]

Hiring a bodyguard could be troublesome. I mean, they're doing top-secret stuff for Firewall. Unless Firewall clears the guy, that'd be a lot of sensitive info to keep on a guy you can't trust to keep his mouth shut. That's why AIs are better. They won't blab, and you can erase their memories,

Also, there's the whole problem about paying the guy. I don't know how our characters are going to get more credits aside from spending Rez points, and I doubt a bodyguard would be cheap anyway.

And she probably wouldn't fuck the bodyguard, unless they decided to make that the payment. Then all it would take is for Firewall to clear them.

[krogothwolf]

How many combat guys do we have? I nominate Daniel!

[Dracorion]

We have three combat guys and like five squishies.

I still think we should be firing Henric from a cannon.
