I can see Master Shedim using Astral gateway to drag every entity in the affected area to be swalowed by its deep metaplane...brrr

It would open up the door to a lot of GM ruling if I say that some spirit powers don't work on other spirits.  We'd then say that spirits can't Conceal stuff from other spirits or use Elemental attack on each other.  It's a slippery slope and I'm gonna say that they actually do work on other spirits which is what i'm pretty sure what RAI is.  So spirits resist other spirit powers normally.  These powers are super-natural and are part of the way spirits fight each other making spirit vs. spirit battles pretty epic and weird.

ok, fair enough.. I'm not rolling for the spirit, just commanding it, so Inca you'll need to roll the Bear's resistance to the compulsion. If I can I'd like to request that the spirit uses edge to help it resist. Is there a way Thunderhead can try to give it a command to NOT attack him (i.e. a battle of wills) if the bear's resist fails? Finally, if all else fails, Thunderhead will try to dodge the attack.

hey
that was on Brick...IMO Ive said that 

[Teyl_Iliar]

And I resist that with what? Also, Thermo if you aren't counter spelling this is gonna get really ugly for you.

[Sichr]

Will + Charisma
IDN
Im using this power to Protect the girl...almost like "Protect me." and it works only for single action...but Inca may want to approve this...

oops! you're totally right, my bad.. I read that post wrong, I thought the command was against the bear spirit so it'd attack Thunder.

Inca, can I counterspell against the compulsion command?

Nopoe its a power.
well like I said, Inca may change things a lot, lets wait for his approval...

Luckily you resist Compulsion with Willpower + Charisma.  Since it's a power, you can't counterspell it. 

Compulsion's description does suggest that it should be for a specific type of action depending on the species of paracritter.  So in the case of it being an optional power with spirits that you choose, i'll say that you need to specify this when you take Compulsion.  Since I didn't know this before and Zach already knows what he wants to compel and this is the first use of Compulsion we'll just say that the action which this spirit compels is to have friends attack friends.  So from here on out you can only use it for that and can't compel other types of actions. 

So if Brick fails the resist roll then he will be compelled to shoot Thermo on his next action phase only.

Hey Thunder, you gonna dodge those shots Brick made?

[Sichr]

I saw in another PbP forum, that he has some RL issues to solve. I hope he get back to us soon

[inca1980]

Ok, well then we'll wait around maybe 2 more days.  At that point I'll start NPC'ing him or we'll figure something out and just keep moving.  This UB has taken way longer than other ones because I made this more of a forrest crawl just to vary it up... but once we get through it we'll go back to a more "traditional" UB style....in-out rather deadly type operations in urban environments. 

[Thermo]

whew.. sorry for being out of touch, should be better now. Thanks for your patience.

Time to dodge those shots!

[Thermo]

Was Brick supposed to go before everyone else this round? Does the Compel command cause an interrupt action or something? He had the lowest initiative score.. Just don't skip Thunder, Max, and the bear spirit completely this turn

[inca1980]

@Thunder:
Compel causes the target to complete the compelled action on their next action.  Brick had an initiative score of 12 and you had one of 11.  He took the shot, you reacted, and now it's your turn to act.

[Thermo]

it's the bear spirit's turn, it has an initiative of 16
