I have a few questions regarding take down.

If I’m an energy controller (fire bender and stuff like that), attacking with fire blasts and other energy attacks would roll with Smash? The way the book puts it is like if smash could only be used as a physical strenght-based action.

If I’m a psychic, a mind blast would roll with Strength? Maneuvre? Or even Influence? I don’t know exactly how to deal with Psychics and their psyonic attacks.

And about Investigate – how should I use it to seize control or take down? Every time someone narrates as if they are planning carefully an attack, it just seems to me that they should roll with Meaneuvre, and not Investigate.

Could someone answer me?

Hello

Hello

Hello,

I’m Victor Gaigaia, Brazilian, and I’ve been part of the Apocalypse World forums for many years. Recently, I’ve been listening to the IPMM crew’s Monsterhearts series, and they told me about this community. Curious about it, I came here.

I would like to share with the group some skins which I worked some years back. They can also be found at the MH’s forum:

This is the image of all my skins, although many I did not finish

From those, 3 I finished:

The Ancient

The God

The nymph

The others are:

– The paladin: The kid who thinks herself as a warrior of truth, justice and all confusing ideals that teenagers may have. They are the crazy fans of a band, the mall anarchists and the revolutionaries without a cause.

The Teachers Pet: That skin is curious, for the player is not only the ‘teacher’s pet’, but also a minion of The School. It’s a mix between the Serpentine (with The Family) and the Infernal (with the Devil). It’s the School, and it’s both the family and the devil.

The Lucky: A comedic skin. The Lucky is the guy/gal that never can get laid, and, for whatever stupid reason, always screws up. Her sex move is: “When you try to have sex, it won’t happen. For any and whatever reason, you will never get laid”.

The Elemental: Pretty straightforward, this skin plays the elemental, a force of nature embodied in human flesh.

The Bully: That’s a ‘human’ version of the wherewolf, but more focused on strings and gainning ‘respect’ from others. Also, I like the move “Mommy!!” – When you scream for your mom and make a fool of yourself, gain+3 to Run Away and lose your Respect.

The Unicorn: When of the skins I like the most, the unicorn embodies the idea of ‘The Prize’. It’s the person that everyone wants, but is unnatainable, like the Holy Grail. Her moves are like ‘Untouchable’, ‘Undeniable’, ‘Unreachable’, ‘Unatainable’ and it’s all about being cold, distant, while exercing power and control over the others. Her sex move is: “When you have sex, change your skin”, because Unicorns must remain ‘pure’.

The Psychic: Plain old psychic teen. Too much power with too few self restraint.

I hope you like the ideas and I’m thinking on finishing, finally, those skins.
