Cyroa Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 The first little bit is just a short stint in case you want to have a legitimate reason to be there (like a meeting or something ). Feel free to show up how you choose. Will be a little socializing first :)
Cyroa Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Ok, get a post in and the 'action' part of this will start on Monday.
Sandman XI Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Yes sir, please forgive me for slacking/holdiong everything up. I'm on the response now.
Dr Archeville Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 You've been gravely ill, you get a pass. This time. ;)
Cyroa Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Sorry, I'm in hell week here. Standardized testing, the semester closing on Friday and some RL fun is kicking my butt. I will try to get something up in a day or two. But it's not dead I promise.
Dr Archeville Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Ah, completely understandable. Focus on your studies; we'll still be here when you're done.
Cyroa Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Ok, had DS move the jeep so you could stick together as a group... So...I guess initiative would be in order? Please bear in mind, I'm new at this system and still screw up. Suggestions and guidance in all things, especially running a combat would never be turned down.
Dr Archeville Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Doc's Initiative = 10 I find it helps to keep a chart of the PCs and their health and HPs, and a second chart with initiative orders and where the chars are. Like what I did here.
Dr Archeville Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Go Quark! So it looks like the initiative order is: Quark Bad Guys Doc Dark Star
Cyroa Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Skipping the bad guys as they are working unseen...
Dr Archeville Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I'm going to say yes, that it works like Transform: he needs Affects Insubstantial to mimic Incorporeal (Insubstantial 4) beings, but not targets with a lesser rank of Insubstantial (lie energy beings with Insubstantial 3).
Cyroa Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 Dark Star: Notice check (1d20+7=8) He doesn't notice anything New round?
Cyroa Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Ok...the bad guys shot... here are there rolls: 1st 3 are pistol ones, 2nd 2 are the rifle ones. First attack is on Quark, rest on DS (1d20+4=18, 1d20+4=5, 1d20+4=23, 1d20+4=24, 1d20+4=13) Now what? Do they hit or not? Not sure how to tell...
Dr Archeville Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 If the result of that attack roll equals or is more than (Target's Defense +10), it hits. Quark Quark's Defense is 16 -- I'm assuming he is wearing his Protective Undersuit -- so the 18 hits. Quark needs to make a Toughness save vs. the Damage of the pistol (18 if it's a Light Pistol, 19 if it's a Heavy Pistol). Except, if he's wearing his Protective Undersuit, that means Quark has Impervious Protection 6, so neither type of pistol can damage him. Dark Star Assuming he's got his Shield up, his Defense is 18. One pistol shot (5) misses. One pistol shot (23) hits. (And if the shooter has Improved Critical/Pistol, that's a crit) One rifle shot (24) hits (and crits! since it's a Natural 20 and is high enough to hit) One rifle shot (13) misses. But Dark Star's insubstantial/energy, so unless those are Gravity Bullets, or bullets that are specially made to Affect Insubstantial targets, you don't even need to roll for damage, they pass through harmlessly. Though if anyone's directly behind Dark Star, the bullets passing through him may hit them.... (I'll leave that up to you.) So, end result, Quark's hit but shrugs it off, and Dark Star's hit but the bullets pass through him. Some of the crooks may be soiling themselves. Now is Doc's turn But first I need info. Doc will be using a Move action to fly down and get a closer look at the two groups. What does it look like they're doing?
