Can he make love to all the rubber-faced aliens?

The. Spirit. Is willing. ... but. The Flesh. Is weak!

[greyarea]

He prefers to punch two fisted, no?

[jemmus]

He only needed one fist here. https://youtu.be/IYq1YRnxQEM

LOL

I was thinking more along these lines:
…but that works too.

[jemmus]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the clubs fists move. Kirk had his own unique martial arts style.

That's "Space Judo" ya peasant! I actually saw that in one of the books from the 70's. Not the ya peasant part, the other part.

[redwarrior]

Oh, and I just started rewatching the animated series.

My next character will have earned an asteroid belt in space judo.

[jemmus]

My char's asteroid belt in Vulcan nerve pinch will trump that. (Proof: The first nerve pinch ever took out duplicate Kirk. Of course, it probably only takes out space judo if you achieve Surprise). https://www.startrek.com/article/one-tr ... eally-work

Fascinating

Expectations: I'll try to update this again on Thursday or Friday this week, then I'll be offline until the 21st. So, that's one round/update per week. (Which is twice as good as we have been doing, so huzzah!)

[Marullus]

Hey guys, I'm back in the country. Let's see how fast I can do this.

[Marullus]

Sorry, really hard week. Traversed the eastern sea board twice due to family emergency. I don't have a computer but will try and craft an update from my phone when everyone posts.

[redwarrior]

I hope all is well with the family!

[jemmus]

Hang in, bro Marullus! Taavi post very soon. It seems we're shooting them faster than Taavi can psychic them. And vice versa about outgoing vs. incoming gunfire. A dilemma for the city prosecutor turned badlands/space marshal.... But, he has an idea...

[Marullus]

The last guy in the middle, who has Taavi in his head now, ducked into the stairwell. So nobody has line of sight on him but Taavi still has connection.

[Marullus]

Taavi gives up on trying to keep one of the guards alive for questioning.

I just want to check in and make sure you understand your powers...

Level-2: The psychic’s awareness of the target’s surface cognition is sophisticated enough to read their current thoughts, though it can’t pick up memories or non-obvious connections. The target gets a Mental saving throw to resist this.

So, you are in the guy's head. Connection is established, and we also established you need line of sight to establish it but not to maintain it. So you are still with him.

You don't have any special abilities to convince or compel him (which is why you are doing normal Talk rolls) but you also don't need him present, unarmed, or cooperative.

If you want to question him, you can literally read his mind.

You can ask questions, then read what he thinks about directly from his surface thoughts, answers forthcoming if he fails a mental save.

If Taavi is playing to moral compunctions against reading the minds of the unwilling, that's fine. I just want to make sure that we OOC are on the same page.

[redwarrior]

I'll be at Grogcon this Thursday-Monday, but please NPC Hansel to keep the action going as needed. Depending on the radio chatter, and any HUD intel he's getting, his general idea is "hit them fast before they regroup." (Unless there's like 50 of them, then hopefully cooler heads will prevail!)

[Marullus]

Checking in. How you guys doing?

(Thought that last post's reveal would get more of a reaction... )
