Old Man KB Like I figured, this fell back to the sun thing, which is retarded. If I had just bandaged KB's face up and said that it blocked the damage of the sun, he would have escaped that fight almost 100% untouched. To that end, I'm being penalized for... not minmaxing and then covering my mins with gear to offset them. For the record, Elli's suggestion of the one move or attack action in the sun would have given KB a 30ft movement instead of a 20ft movement out of the sun, in basically the same amount of time. Food for thought. At first, I saw that attack and was like "Well, that's a neat way of escaping." But even then, it was like "AAAH, SUN! MY EYES! WAIT, I CAN STILL SEE, EVEN THOUGH I'M ON FIRE." Instead of being "disorientated" like it said in his profile, he found a way to use an ability that requires concentration to perform and uses it instead of trying to "crawl" back into the shadow more realistically. Then you would have kept your upkeep.

His ability doesn't require concentration. In fact, none of them really do. Specifically with the Falcon Punch, it's weakness is the fact that he can't prematurely stop himself. A smart opponent would sidestep it and let him going flying off and edge or into a wall of spikes, for example.
Disorientates, yes.
disorientate [dɪsˈɔːrɪɛnˌteɪt], disorient vb (tr) 1. (Mathematics & Measurements / Navigation) to cause (someone) to lose his bearings 2. to perplex; confuse
Now, this is basically a translation from D&D rules. In order to give KB increased survivability, I basically made it so that he reacts to sunlight the way elder vampires do. They are still burned and suffer damage, but, they are able to endure it to a point ( for as long as their body lasts or their will does ). So while he can't sit down and start doing algebra, he can certainly look at a point in front of him that's NOT SETTING HIM ON FIRE ( being disorientated doesn't rob you of black and white, or, absolute shade vs sunlight ) and getting there using whatever means he has.
By stricter D&D translation, he doesn't even go prone. He gets his full movement, which is a 30ft movement. Basically, he gets into the sun, goes, "Oh ********" and then can either make an attack or run out of it.
Just so happens that his attack and movement were fused in a profile-accepted technique.
So, again, I don't fully understand why I'm being penalized for your shortsightedness in profile acceptance, especially after the fight and not during it. If you wanted to tell me "Oh, KB, you can't use your move in the sun because its too distracting" I would have said, "Err, okay, I guess" and just had him run out.
Since you didn't, but have added it retroactively, I'm being docked points because of something entirely beyond my control, which is retarded.

The Darth Vizzle It's been injured, apparently. I was training fine, then when I maxed on deadlift back in.. Feb or so, it started acting up much worse all of a sudden. So I've been going to my dad's doctor. He said there's no bone/joint problems, and since I don't experience a LOT of pain it's more than likely that I have no tears, or that they healed. He gave me two shots in the shoulder last week and told me to call him later this week to tell him if they had any effect. You should have healed by now. 6-8 weeks is all that it takes to heal from something like that, unless you heal slowly, or keep injuring it. But exercise generally increases the circulation in the joint, and helps. I don't understand why it's still injured. If you still know that massage therapist, I would ask her to do some deep tissue massage in and around that shoulder, and see what happens. Maybe there is some pinching of a nerve or something because of the muscle mass that you have. Strange, and a pain in the a** for an athlete like yourself to keep up with your training while injured. I wish you the best of luck with that Darth.

I graded your fight based on the simple concept of "common sense." With great power comes great responsibility. The point with the profile was to not abuse it to the standards we don't like here, but instead to use his abilities moderately so there wouldn't be a foul call in the first place. Just because you "can" doesn't mean you should.

Yeah, it's sort of strange. I hurt it back in.. August of last year? I took four months off, then it was just a minor annoyance until Feb or March, and suddenly I did something to make it come back.
The pain is minor, and there's occasionally popping around the joint. I think a tendon has gotten warped out of place, if that's even possible. It's the only answer I can think of, because it doesn't hurt like a tear would, and there's no bone/joint problems.
Some sort of therapy might help, but they'd probably be massaging mostly bone, because the pain originates on the "top" of the shoulder joint.
