You just touch it with your hand. Your characters should have worked it out since when you hit it with your weapon your weapon has become stronger and when they touch it with their hand their armour becomes stronger.

At this point, all that I think my character knows about the orbs is that they have something to do with life, which he discerned from the beam of purple light back on the ship. He's yet to actually absorb an orb dropped by an enemy, so all he knows about them is what he's seen happen to Soaras, Lisa, and Jensen in the first battle, as he's been too focused on not dying in this battle to analyze the more recent evolutions. While he did watch Lisa absorb one of them (at which point he noticed the connection to the thing on the ship), I don't know if he would've picked up on her stat increases. And he probably wasn't paying attention to Soaras or Jensen at the time (if I remember correctly, everything pretty well happened at once), so it's even less likely that he would've picked up on what happened to them.

Had everyone sat down for a minute and discussed that first battle, I've little doubt that Wyman would know to hit the orb with his hand to get more defense. But I honestly don't think he does (not to mention that I didn't pick up on the distinction OOC until just now), so my initial action of hitting the orc's orb with the staff stands.

This is an RPG, not an RP. You don't need to be in character.

Ok sorry. It's decent actually...
Don't worry, I know you're a better artist than me, it's just from the very start I have wanted this to be made by me and me alone, like how I rejected j's offer of a co-gm. To quote a well known phrase:

"On n'est jamais servi si bien que par soi-même." - "We are never served so well as by ourselves."

Or more well known as:
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Indeed that saying is right...

It looks pretty nice! ^-^

Danke sehr. My art skills have been improving rapidly ever since I've had a teacher who hasn't been an arsehole. Two years ago my hands were still circles with five blobs on. So in two years I should be... Picasso! Yeah!
