MBCE Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Using the Police Officer PL3 archetypes found in the core book p 228 for the guards. The first floor, has two stationary guards. One has a clear view of the front entrance and the elevators. The other has a clear view of the stairs and the back corridor which The ghost just came in from. The two guards do not have line of sight with each other, but through walkie talkies, can stay in contact with each other. notice check (1d20+5=9) for the guard to hear Sammy's approach. Not enough to hear once the distance modifiers are in place.

MBCE Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Number of Guards on 2nd floor (1d6=4) There is a percentage chance of a guard being located near Sammy's present location. 2nd floor has 25% chance of a guard being nearby. Roll each time to see how many guards are nearby. 25% chance of nearby guard (1d100=75, 1d100=24, 1d100=64, 1d100=21) Two guards are nearby. Ghost stealth vs guards notice (1d20+5=8, 1d20+5=19, 1d20+5=8) Looks like someone's getting the drop on the Ghost. :cry:

Barnum Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 So if I understand you correctly, the initiative order is: -G1 -Ghost -G2 G1 is holding his action. IC post coming right up.

MBCE Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 That's right. Ghost is sandwiched between the two, which is actually a good thing in some cases. The Ghost will activate his force field (FA). He'll switch his Probability to Damage and use an nonlethal attack on G1, Toughness DC 21

Barnum Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Round 1 As soon as Ghost activates his Probability Control power, the first cop, who readied his action, fires his gun at Ghost. I had to wing it in my post, since your sheet doesn't describe what your Damage extra looks like. 1. Attack Roll vs Ghost (Defense 11). (1d20+3=16) That's a hit. The Toughness save DC is 18. 2. Then the policeman gets shot by his partner (Ghost's Damage Effect). Toughness Save vs. DC 21. (1d20+4=22). His vest stops the bullet, and he is uninjured. 3. The 2nd cop shoots at the Ghost too. Attack Roll vs. Ghost (Defense 16). (1d20 3=9). Missed. Round 2 1. Cop 1 fires again. Attack Roll vs. Ghost (Defense 16). (1d20 3=22) Another hit. The DC is still 18. 2. Ghost is up.

MBCE Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 It seems I made a few mistakes. The DC is only a 20 for his Damage attack. I have 5 ranks, not 6. Next, the guard had held his action, or Readied, to shot. So his initiative drops to even with Ghost, right? As for the descriptor of his Damage AP, it is simply unlikely accidents. Would it be noticeable as origniating from Ghost that way opr would I still have to buy the subtle feat to make it difficult to notice? To keep things moving, here's the Toughness roll. Toughness DC 18 (1d20+5=10) Ouch! The Ghost is Stunned and Bruised. So the next shot goes off, hitting him again in Rnd 2. Toughness DC 18 (1d20+5-1=23) Shakes off that second shot. Yeah! But the second guard still gets his shot. :(

Would it be noticeable as origniating from Ghost that way opr would I still have to buy the subtle feat to make it difficult to notice? This is your thread, so I'm flexible, but here's how I would normally play it: 1. A readied action takes place in the initiative order just before the triggering action, so the Cop still goes before you in the initiative order. 2. I'd say that Damage effects are noticeable by default regardless of descriptor. They are noticeable not just because they hurt people, but the fact that they are powers is what's noticeable. For example, Protection is not noticeable by default even if people watch bullets bounce off of your skin. If you don't want your damage effects to look like superpowers then "subtle" is what you are looking for. Also, if you want a noticeable power that doesn't appear to originate from your character (but isn't subtle), check out Indirect. Round 2 (continued) 3. Cop 2, Attack vs. Ghost (Defense 11). (1d20+3=16) That's a hit. Toughness save = DC 18. Round 3 1. Cop 1 is readying his action again. 2. Ghost is up. IC post is in the works
