I'm also thinking Gobbo now is only summoned by a 1 rolled with a standard dice.
So continuing scenario above I give one last shot against sandwitch, so I go Wham @archs (the quick/standard bot attacks) this time I roll a 1.
Man...I'm having a bad day...rather then losing though @gobbo is instant activated and rolls against you. lets say he rolls a 2. So I guess you must defend now, and I guess you can choose which ever you want a standard or mighty bot...so I go I try @archmul...Bman I roll a 8 (because this is really what the mighty bot is for, like a last ditch effort). I kill Gobbo. So I guess I can then launch the !pickpocket against him...and wham get a +3 to player roll...Sweet no need play on as no matter what I roll/do I will now beat foe...IF i dont get something good or that definate I get to have another shot against the Stage foe...However if Gobbo kills me, I lose a life and game over...
Hoping this is making sense :)
Gobbo sneaks in and steals all the dice.
He laughs like a jerk and throws a die.
The sneaky git rolls a 1.
Based on all this, is PVP gonna work? or should we reserve simply for boss round, where everyone attacks each other for ownership of castle and treasure chest.. (like IBT#2 I'll partner people off for 3 rounds...type thing...not sure yet.)
I liked how IBT#3 went. Just make items single use.
That way people get weeded out going into the boss round.
I thought the last round was pretty epic. There where a lot of surprises.
I think I get the Gobbo mechanic that you proposed. The issue here is that in the scenario you described, the sand witch has already taken your last life before Gobbo could get involved. But if that roll of 1 came on the first or second attempt... Gobbo as you described makes perfect sense.
Yeah what I would do though is not display that you rolled a one..it would basically just say your attack was so lame, the sandwitch laughed and before she could kill you Gobbo jumped in...I wouldn't mention it was a 1..Just say it was just such a lame attack not worth mention haha..who wants to roll a 1 really. But cool sounds like this is a good use for the Gobster!
