>Tanking the attack will kill you.
How do you survive?
Sacrifice your weapon.
Overpenetration
Whine at the GM until he lets my character survive
This.
>using "tank" as a verb
Well, since we're apparently in an MMO, I just wait for someone in the raid to heal my toon.
I deflect the attack.
Your first mistake was assuming I'm not five steps ahead you. That's not me getting hit, it's a simulacrum. Right now I've already foiled your plans. Checkmate, non-diviners
>a thing happened
Is this happening in a traditional game? Because I don't see any written word implying it.
First post, best post.
>toon
kys
By teleporting behind them, obviously.
I destroy the weapon, then the wielder.
Kill them first.
> Sauce?
I'm here to bargain.
> being this autistic
there's a reason nobody heals you
Hopefully, as a legend.

I was either a dipshit to have ended up like this so I deserve to have to reroll a character; or I chose to do the right thing, in which case I reroll a character with some dignity.
I won't die even if I'm killed.
I burn a point of edge (or fate point, or similar) to survive.
>face tanking will kill you
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT ONE, BITCH
My character dies.
In the WH40K RPGs, I burn a fate point so that my character survives. If I'm out of fate points, my character dies.
In a few (eg, Eclipse Phase), resurrection is cheap enough that it's to be expected.
parry obviously
Kill the attacker before the attack goes off.
I kill it with fire
>but the attack is a fireball
I will die trying
Roll to seduce.
I scream and throw an OOC shit-fit, threatening to destroy our friendship until the GM buckles and declares my character to have survived
[MERCY]
One ability my character has is the power to nullify a single attack on the condition that it would at least incapacitate him in a single blow.
Null'd
That's the worst one, but people at my table have said all of the following while playing a tabletop RPG:
>"mez"
>"proc"
>"debuff"
>"aggro"
>"CC"
>"alt" in the sense of "backup character"
Strike before enemy is able to do so.
Offence is best defence.
>barrier wizard
Laugh while stroking beard.
I don't mind proc and debuff, aggro is iffy, alt is where I ban you from the table.
...
Attack first.
Parley?
I teleport behind the enemy with my pair of scissors, and counter attack.
Prevent the attack from happening
kill him first.
Maybe you should have not gotten yourself into such trouble to begin with?
NANI?!
I try to juggle the baby in one hand and the ladder in the other while I yell in broken English "I don't wan trabble!"
Counter!
"My mother is the Star of Morning, the child of dawn. The star thrown to the Earth shall obtain victory!"
A dazzling star falls into hell!
Have they actually done the attack yet? If not, keep them from doing it. Bind them, kill them faster, whatever.
I parry it.
What did you day?
Contingency.
>bro takes the attack for me
>go into berserk mode and curbstomp him
Thankfully I have a huge luck stat so it misses me, or something stops it, or whatever.
>controlling other people's characters
The same reason your mother didn't kiss your forehead as a child before you went to sleep?
Parry the attack
Counterattack and try to kill or maim the attacker before his attack hits you
Same but with guns or throwing knives if you have any at hand
Grapple at his arms and break his attack
Try to hook his leg and knock him down before he hits you
Masterstrike the shit out of him
Attack the attack to slow it down
That actually made things worse in pic related. Are you sure you wanna do that?
You shouldn't play around things you can't predict. Who would know that living legend is actually a demon?
>still none in here that debuffs enemy chance to hit to nothing
i'll just stand still and look smug
>i'll just stand still and look smug
Of course you do, you need like 4 turns to cast your debuffs
Abuse i-frames
Some people thought he might be. He was rumored to have been the same man in different wars 300 years apart rather than different men taking the name.
He was also called "Nosferatu" Zodd, so that was kind of a hint.
>block
>Dive for Cover
>Missile Deflect
>Abort to a defensive reaction
>Roll with the punch
Avoid fighting in the first place
He might as well didn't exist at all. Guts had been in mercenary business for years and never seen or believed in Zodd's existence before that fight. Of course readers knew that demons existed in the world of Berserk.
Spontaneous combustion
>Tails: It's a hologram
Alternatively, meditate to ensure you survive the next hit.

*teleports behind it*
>"The movie tanked at the box office."
English is not your first language, is it?
joke's on you, I have a date point to burn
oops confused it for an /a/ thread
anyway try to dodge anyway to see if damage is reduced
I-frames OP.
Deus ex machina.
Wings of Cover
>How do you survive?
I don't. This is exactly what I planned from the beginning. From the time we stopped in the capital, all the way to now, I've been setting this up. My phylactery is in the strongbox back in my room in the tavern. There's illusions laced over it to make it look like a sack of potatoes.
I also have other sacks of potatoes around it to complete that illusion.
Attack, harder then the attack they threw at you. Therefore your attack will pierce through it.
Your DM accepts the date in return for the character surviving.
He'll pick you up at 8 tomorrow.
That's just because Gutts is a jaded fuck with severe personality disorders. He knew exactly who Zodd was when he saw him.
I parry.
Deflect the attack?
checked
but what the fuck is mez?
>Grapple at his arms
This is a pretty funny "traditional gamer" thing to say.
I strike first.
It's get fucked dubposting faggot
Its clearly not yours if you don't know words can have multiple meanings.
Kill the enemy before it has the chance to make the insta-kill attack.
Death is the best CC.
Or, I mean, any form actual non-meme crowd control works fine too.
Just kill the enemy before it has the chance to make the insta-kill attack.
Death is the best CC, after all.
Or, I mean, any form actual non-meme crowd control works fine too.
Last level I became a Lich, my Phylactery is in a pocket dimension. I'm good.
Didn't he just win a lifetime achievement award or something?
Redirect the attack
>GOTY
I attack the attack.
I roll to seduce the attack.
hope i roll well on death saves
>my reaction as the gm
call the dm a fucking nerd
