but misses by miles, not even worth a parry, as you easily side step the swing.
"Now you're really in for it! HELP HER YOU FOOL!" she commands, blowing the strange mist in Gerald Watkins face. "Can't you see this INTRUDER is trying to hurt us!?"
Watkins gives her a puzzled look as he inhales, waving an arm at the mist... ooc: Watkins Psyche check [dice=100][rand=4404081128546022411699730886370652476686033863554708824316794585041]

Thinking to himself that this is getting out of hand, David decides that Angel is the most important person to take out so he moves at full speed and tries to knock her out.[dice=10][rand=543620386331289313194230859584125619746287244215154799486127439]

David twirls the bo staff left, right, then strikes like a cobra downwards -- hammering the shaft forcefully atop Angel's noggin!
(give me a total damage for 2 rounds of successful attacks (didn't give me last round); each one could be up to 16 pts max (str +1CS Blunt attack))

ooc: ahh my bad! well, normally you already know the base scores for ranks, ex: TY 6, GD 10, EX 20, RM 30 etc. but you can choose to 'pull' your punches not inflicting as much as your max (only certain weapons/attacks though; i think there are some where you can't reduce; i'd need to look that up); since we started completely new/unestablished characters, everyone's ranks are the beginning rank values, not the base, so EX 16 instead of EX 20) so David's bo staff strike inflicts strength damage (GD 8), but he gets +1CS for the use of his blunt weapon to EX 16 (shifting up gets you the starting value of that rank; down shifts give you the base #) anyway, as per this scenario, i need to know how much damage per hit he inflicted (he could pull his punch and cause 1 pt if he wanted); as far as figuring the the Health of any NPCs (angel, the Watkins pair in this instance) that's behind the scenes on my end hope this clarifies; if not lemme know

ooc: okay, I had to look this up again lol. It's just one of the many inconsistencies that make MSH so awesomes Under the Melee Weapons description (p45) it states: When attacking with a weapon designed for combat, the character will always inflict damage of the effects type listed and always a minimum of the damage listed (a knife will always inflict at least 10 points).
However, under the Blunt Attack description (p24) it states: A hero using blunt attack may always choose to inflict less damage than maximum. A hero may choose to pull his punch, doing less than full damage, or inflict a lesser color result (yellow instead of red).
A character using a blunt weapon inflicts up to that item's material strength; if the material strength of the item is greater than the Strength rank of the user, the user's Strength rank is increased to the lowest value of the next rank for damage. Aunt May (Feeble Strength) uses a lead pipe (Excellent material) in the drawing room on Col. Mustard. Aunt May would inflict two points damage normally, but inflicts three points (minimum damage of next higher rank) instead. Daredevil (Good Strength) using the same lead pipe would inflict 16 points damage (minimum damage of next higher rank), and the Thing (Monstrous Strength) would inflict Excellent damage (20 points).
So the general rule says clubs 'always' do minimum damage of 10; yet the Aunt May description says different (assuming lead pipe falling in the 'club' category). Anyway, I've always played it as the Blunt Attack description or basically +1CS to the characters strength, provided the weapons material strength is higher (in this case IN bo staff so definitely). Hope this clarifies what I meant lol. All I need is a value, or how much you wanted each attack to 'hurt' Angel, given EX 16 max damage per strike and 2 strikes landed

Rd 3 order: 9 (6+3) David 7 (6+1) Mr. Watkins 4 Angel 2 Samantha
A crushing blow is delivered, dropping Angel to her knees, though she has shown impressive resistance considering she's still conscious after taking David's best, twice now (max dmg ea. for total of 32 pts). But from her expression, she does looks like she's had enough.
"ALRIGHT! Alriight… pl.. please ss.. Stop!" Angel pleads, hands still fumbling with her purse.
However, Gerald Watkins the husband - now pheromone-induced pawn of Angel's - rushes Detective Michaels from the side, attempting a Grapple (TY str)… [dice=100] [rand=91759446638296594755199568706949385129758653908511777446372213218]

Mr. Watkins darts in, securing a partial hold of Michaels' right arm and bo staff! (-2CS to actions til freed)
Angel, on her knees screams, "HA! NOW WE'VE GOT YOU!" and pulling a small black cylinder from her purse, she stumbles forward and hits you directly with Mace spray!
ooc: yowza, that Angel's a crazy one! according to APB, Mace (p58) there is no Agility FEAT to hit, but the target must make an Endurance FEAT v. TY intensity (standard grade Mace; there are others as high as RM)...Gray stone's Endurance is EX so he'll need a Green or better result to avoid the spray's effect!

ooc: that'd be an awesome power stunt to develop; so he'd be able to inflict KT power rank damage through his bo staff? or actually it might even be KT power rank +1CS for the weapon's normal dmg? though that could get tricky with IN dmg and IN material strength; he might break it
David's covered with a point-blank hit of Mace and closes his eyes instinctively from the biting spray; but he he shrugs off the pain with a "AAAiyyyyeeeaAArrrrrrgggh!" (a la Jean Claude Van Damme in 'Blood Sport')
Samantha finally gets her swing in... [dice=100][rand=80284282454193960361377841897599999883574251167531562127803493233]
