Surprise

REA 4 + INT 4 + Alerted 3 - Wounded 1 = 10 (10d6.hits(5)=3)



Initiative

REA 4 + INT 4 - Wounded 1 = 7 (7d6.hits(5)=3)

1 initiative pass

lol after posting that gif I've decided that that's what I want you guys to imagine Leroy looks like... just as a dwarf lol

OK then, it seems all of you surprised the guard, so you basically get the first IP free: he won’t be able to act or react against any of you. Also, please don’t forget that wound modifiers are applied directly to the initiative score as well as initiative dice, so except for Farothel, everyone’s initiative is one less. Initiative order is as follows:

Guard's initiative: Initiative (8d6.hits(5)=2)

Gustovness – Ini 10, IP 1
Farothel – Ini 10, IP 2
Guard – Ini 10, IP 2, misses 1st IP because of surprise
Csjarrat – Ini 10, IP 1
MaxKojote – Ini 9, IP 1

There will be 2 IPs so please remember that you can move half your movement rate in one IP.

[Csjarrat]

everyone but maxkojote is going simultaneously then?
edit: done my only pass, good luck guys!

[Ren]

I'd like to ask everybody to include firing mode, damage code (without hits) and AP with their attacks. It is much easier to calculate damage that way.

[Csjarrat]

semi auto, 6Se (-AP)               

[Gustovness]

I thought the wound modifier affected the dice pool for initiative?  So we were just supposed to roll initiative and not apply wound modifiers until after the result?

[Ren]

No, wound modifiers affect Initiative directly, reducing both the initiative value and the dice pool. So, if you have an initiative of 8, normally you roll 8 dice, and your initiative score is 8 + hits. When you suffer wounds, resulting in a -1 modifier, your initiative score immediately drops by one, and when next combat turn comes, you have an initiative value of (8-1) = 7, you roll 7 dice, and your initiative score is 7 + hits.

@Farothel:

Finishing Move
A character with this maneuver who has succeeded in striking an opponent (whether damage is inflicted or not) may immediately follow that attack up with a move designed to finish the opponent off. This allows the character to make an immediate follow-up melee attack in the same Action Phase. Finishing Move counts as an interrupt action and uses up the character’s next available action.


Watchful Guard
Characters using the Watchful Guard maneuver reduce the penalty for “defender has defended against previous attacks” (see p. 150, SR4) by 1 (meaning they can defend against two attacks between actions without penalty).

[MaxKojote]

How come I never get that many hits when I use Edge? Also I didn't roll drain right away because I was going to see how many net hits I used first. Also if I ended up casting the spell or the guard dropped before I did so.

[spoiler=Drain roll]Force 4+1(Domain) = Drain DV 1P

Drain Resist: Willpower (5) + Intuition (5) (10d6.hits(5)=4)

Drain MDV = 0P[/spoiler]

[Csjarrat]

well this is going well!

[Ren]

OK, Farothel still has the opportunity to hit the guard while he is not defending. Otherwise, it's his turn. (mwuhahahaha)

[Gustovness]

Should I roll STR + BOD? Or just STR?  I'm guessing one of those two would be appropriate for that door.

Also, I became a father yesterday, so sorry in advance if I miss a day's post or two; and Ren, feel free to roll for me for the next couple of days as I'm posting from the hospital and don't have access to any of my books to reference rules and such.

[Csjarrat]

congratulations mate!!!

[farothel]

Congratulations and condoleances
And you know how it goes: you spend the first two years to make them walk and talk and then you spend the next twenty years to make them shut up and sit down.
