Talk:Openings

• Freeze!:

You shout "Freeze!" subjecting the automaton to a painful combination of numbing cold exposure and painful pun exposure.

Your opponent is too stunned to act.

• Shaming Shot:

After taking careful aim

With the clockwork beetle picking itself off the ground, you add insult and injury to the insult and injury with a 172 damage demonstration of your trick shooting.

• Deepest Strikes:

You keep up the attack, rattling his cage. The cage seems to hold for now, but it was a mighty rattle.

• Psychic Heckling:

It turns out that, when you're psychic, your internal monologue about how badly... let's say the clockwork mishmash screwed up... well, it isn't quite as internal.

or

You keep up the heckling for 243 damage. The castle guard can't even manage a "Do I go to your work?" comeback. It's kind of sad."

• Static Shock:

You extend a finger and touch the clockwork beetle, shocking the clockwork beetle for 26 damage and finally getting rid of that static cling.

• Stop, Drop, and ...:

As you might have expected, you catch on fire. Really, the surprising part is that it doesn't happen more often.

You stop, drop, and... stop... drop... what's the third thing again?

While you're trying to remember what it is, the fire burns out.

This occurs after having taken some fire damage from your foe.

• Just Believe in Yourself

The battle quickly dissolves into a psychedelic dream sequence. Your opponent grows to immense size amid a swarm of flying elephants, symbolizing... I don't know, your inner doubt or something?

If there's one thing thousands of hours of children's television has taught you, it's that you really just need to believe in yourself. A greater stupen-tesque ogre from the netherworld wails, shifting from a rumbling bass to a shrill soprano as its size returns to normal.

• Set to overload

Setting your Trident of Nodens to stun is clearly passe, but overload? That's got a nice ring to it! The unstoppable torrent of energy deals a <foe> <fire damage + electrical damage>, but hasn't really done your Trident of Nodens any favors.

Next combat: You manage to get your weapon back in working order, but your opponents is already closing by the time you're done.ng.

• Feline Pounce

You bound into the air and descend on your foe like a raptor-kitten hybrid, crashing into General Mowters for 60 damage.

For reference, that's the "can open doors raptor" not the "bird of prey raptor".

General Mowters is bowled over by the impact.

Your opponent would really like to clean your clock, but needs to stand up to get back to clock level with you.

• Openings? (describes the opening currently available, doesn't consume time)

Openings are heroic opportunities created by certain events in combat or when fighting certain foes. For Example:

Freeze! Stuns and weakens your opponent with a combination of numbing cold and terrible puns.

Shaming Shot demonstrates your trick shooting for damage and demoralization.

Deepest Strikes instantly defeats weak foes and weakens others.

Psychic Heckling is that sort of thing that will really undermine someone's self-worth... and resistance to psychic attacks.

Static Shock turns the power of electricity against your foes.

Feline Pounce a leaping attack that can bowl over your foes. (Currently a Naturalist)
