Shivak & Spike vs Darth Madbear

Shivak and Spike barely make it halfway across the parking lot on Balmorra, when they alert to a commotion from nearby civilians.  Shivak and Spike can see a pair of Sith Troopers pushing their way past the bystanders and straight for them.  



They are followed by a rather wicked looking Sith Warrior.



The bystanders clear away very quickly.  Balmorrans have learned to stay out of the way when Sith appear.

No one has surprise, you all see each other and intentions are plain.... your drink will have to wait!

Roll initiative = initiative dice + initiative rating (intuition + reaction)

Target Numbers are always 5 (barring unusual modifiers)  count your 5s and add to your initiative rating

Shivak's Initiative:

Roll(10d6)+0:
6,4,3,6,1,6,2,6,5,2,

5 hits (+ Initiative?) + 2 passes, 15 +2 passes?

13 dice = 4 hits

correct

navyik wrote:13 dice = 4 hits

add the hits to your initiative score for the total, so it should be 13 + 4 = 17
*also, please note how many "passes" or "IPs" you get. Spike gets +3 from his reflexes = 4 total

it will always be sort of a redundant roll. if your initiative is 10, you roll 10d + 10


Initiative:

IP1 (initiative pass 1)

*I will update after Matt posts his initiative rolls

GM - could we get a number or color mark or something to differentiate the shooters, please?

The notation of 8 (10) means that if wired reflexes are active, it is 10 instead of 8, correct?

It is a free action to activate Wired Reflex - can that be done prior to making the roll?

Shooter 1:
Result of the throw of dice "8d6" :

2 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 29

If wired reflexes are active:
Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 4 = 9

IP=3


Shooter 2:

Let me know if I am off the rails here!

I thought wired reflexes and Adept Improved Reflexes were "always on"?

Says in the description of wired reflexes that they have to be activated, and that it is a free action.

wow... talk about a rather useless ability then.  That would mean that Initiative checks would always be just the straight roll and then you have to waste an action with it after activating reflexes.  That's kind of odd

If that's the case with Improved Reflexes as well, my initiative check (and Alan's) are both wrong. The more I think about, that's really stupid. Not my call though

Matt, you don't add the numbers together, you count "hits" (or 5's and 6's) and then add how many hits you get to your initiative score.

MAS wrote:Says in the description of wired reflexes that they have to be activated, and that it is a free action.

Yes, you are right. I hadn't read that detail. It makes some sense, logically, that you couldn't live in that hyper-speed world all the time (but then adepts shouldn't have it "always on" either).

I will think about it, but it just seems needlessly cumbersome. Initiative\combat would go something like this:

baddie with wired reflexes rolls regular initiative (likely the same action #, just 1-3d less on the test)
1st round, uses free action to activate wired reflexes, then rolls extra 1-3d, GM has to adjust initiative order, baddie now has all passes


Adept reflexes just says in a not-very-specific way

Im proved Reflexes
Cost: Variable, see below
This power increases the speed at which you react, just like wired
reflexes.

I think we either make life easy for everyone and just say they are effectively "always on" for combat, like they are activated by an adrenalin surge or something.

or

Everyone has the same bookkeeping (mostly on the GM) and everyone has to spend their Free Action on their first IP and roll the extra dice

or

Everyone spends their 1st Free Action (effectively as an interrupt) when they roll Initiative, roll all their dice at once

Spike is up (I have a feeling I will be saying this often)

Given Matt's observation, no one has a Free Action in the first IP

Some baddies wont have them. Som PC's may even not. Activation gives them a LITTLE more hope.

What about surprize rounds; auto adrenaline activation may not activate them until after a surprize round if They're the one who is surprized?

You could go auto active otherwise...

Good stuff, I am tracking -

Spike delays for Shivaks action, lets see how his little mind trick works on goons...

good thoughts, that is part of the testing process, I suppose

navyik wrote:Spike delays for Shivaks action, lets see how his little mind trick works on goons...

just to point it, since delaying works differently than in d20\PF.....


A character can delay an action until a later Action Phase. During
the Declare Actions part of that Action Phase, the character must declare
that he is intervening. Characters who have held an action and
intervened in this manner go before anyone who is normally taking
his action during that Action Phase.

The character delaying an action in this manner does not lose his
original Initiative Score. Once that Initiative Pass is over, the character’s
Initiative Score applies to any additional passes that occur.

however

A character can also delay his action until the next Initiative Pass.
If he had an action in that Initiative Pass, then he automatically loses
it (in place of the delayed action—you only get one action per pass).

I enthusiastically vote for having reflexes automatically active or what not. This game already has significant pitfalls for spell casters and the like, gun guys have most of the advantages.

...and I think that's a pretty stupid rule

Honestly, if we face baddies that don't have cyber-ware or magic (the force) then they won't last long against us.

...so who's turn is it? Can Shivak "activate" his reflexes (this still irritates me) and then also pull out hte lightsaber AND cast a spell?

Ok, just delaying so shivak can go first this pass. Spike will go right after him in this first pass. go ahead faceman, 'talk' to them.

vote noted, but it affects both guns and mages equally, as far as I can tell

I do agree, but Alan makes a good point in terms of balance

I agree and there won't be many (but some monsters)

whit10 wrote:...so who's turn is it?  Can Shivak "activate" his reflexes (this still irritates me) and then also pull out hte lightsaber AND cast a spell?

Yes, Shivak is up b\c Spike delayed

if you look at page 146, you will see that drawing (Readying) a weapon is actually a Simple Action, not a Free one.  so no, you cannot draw a weapon and cast a spell (complex) in the same IP.  For a Lightsaber, this includes igniting it.

Fine, draw and ignite the lightsaber. I can't believe they only allow you a complex action....

well that is disappointing. We'll have to have a little talk later.

Free: activate reflexes.

Pistols + reaction quickdrawing his verpine flechette pistol
16 dice=6 hits.

Without time for the gun kata, his stance is broad and unballanced, but he draws and fires.

Firing 2 wide short bursts at the sith warrior:
Includes range and recoil penalties.
13 dice = 2 hits defender at -2
12 dice = 4 hits defender at -3

Damage is 8 + net hits AP is +2(which is less penetration).

whit10 wrote:Fine, draw and ignite the lightsaber.  I can't believe they only allow you a complex action....

ok, just so we are clear and being accurate with the new system

Free = activate reflexes
Simple = Ready Weapon, ignite lightsaber

you do still have 1 simple action left. you could use it as a Simple or take another Free, if you want. again, see pg 146-147

During his Action Phase, a character may take up to two Simple Actions or one Complex Action.
An extra Free Action may be taken in place of a Simple Action (so the character would get two Free
Actions and one Simple Action, or three Free Actions, instead of one Free and two Simple Actions).

some options might include movement

Just as a favor to me and the other players during these test fights, while we are learning the rules, can you give more detail as to how you come to your numbers?  I have to look everything up, since I am learning, so it might help everyone get used to the rules to see the detail. Especially since the rules are not well organized, as we have noticed.   thanks!

Spike had 16d with his Verpine (same as Ares slivergun, from your sheet, with gas vents3)

he is 16 hexes or 32m from the Sith Warrior, which is long range -3d (firearms range table pg 151)
damage 8P(f) AP +2

I am confused by this notation in the ammo section:

Flechette rounds raise the
DV of weapons by +2. They also raise the effective
value of Impact armor (AP +5). Flechettes
are resisted with Impact armor.
Guns with flechette ammo already figured
into their Damage Code have an (f ) notation
following the Damage Code.

does this also mean that the AP +2 is already including the +5 for flechette ammo?  most other Hvy pistols are AP -1 (not counting ammo modifiers) and 5P damage.  The Ares seems to most closely resemble the Ruger SWH at 6P (-2).  I don't understand why the AP isn't +3 or +4 if it is already figured in.  Look at the variations with the Roomsweeper, for example.

anyways....

16d
recoil for bursts = The first burst fired in an Action Phase inflicts a –2 recoil
modifier, the second inflicts an additional –3 recoil

1st shot =  -2 cancelled by gv
2nd shot = -5 reduced to -2 by gv
both shots -3 range

I get Spike's first shot at 13d = same as you
2nd shot at 11d (16 -3 range, -2 burst) = how did you come up with 12d?  (did I miss something?)

let's resolve this before we ask Matt to roll anything

Sorry, I put custom grups on all my pistols for additional recoul comp. Looks like I got tangled up in my lines of text and failed to note it at the bottom of the page. It IS noted as RC4 in my weapons chart, however. I will correct it.

The AP +2 comes straight from the pistol chart in the core book. In the pistol description it says that the flechette is already factored in.

Numbers I used should be correct.

Ok, makes sense!

I know the AP+2 comes from the chart, I was just wondering why that number seems wrong. It seems like it should be AP+3 or +4

ok that is right then

Matt - you need to make 2 defense rolls vs Spike's 2 attacks against the Sith Warrior

you roll Reaction to defend against ranged attacks normally

you can use a Full Round Defense, as an interrupt and add your Dodge, but that consumes his next Complex action
you can't add Missile Parry to Reaction, since he doesn't have his lightsaber "ready" yet

Full Defense with a Readied lightsaber allows you to add +Dodge dice for improved defense
or
Full Defense with a Readied lightsaber you can Deflect and Redirect, but you have to split your Dodge + Lightsaber dice into 2 pools  (blasters only, obviously)

the other simple action would just be to activate the Adept power Armor....

whit10 wrote:the other simple action would just be to activate the Adept power Armor....  

don't be silly, you don't need to activate that

wired reflexes specifically say they take a free action and adept reflexes say they work like wired.

actually, I'm surprised that's the case. (mutters under breath about being able to draw and cast in OTHER games, grumble, grumble)

Alan, target clarification requested.

There are 2 Sith Soldiers (red and green) and a Sith Hunter (no color outline). Which is your intended target?

The one with the lightsaber.

you are faking it like a champ!  

I am guessing that you missed the part below about the defender at -2, then -3, since you rolled the same # of dice each time for your Reaction check.  (we are all learning)

navyik wrote:

Damage is 8 + net hits  AP is +2(which is less penetration).

the initial -2 is b\c Spike fired a "wide burst" which makes it harder to dodge
the additional -1 is for reacting to the 2nd attack in the same IP, before your action which refreshes your dice pools.  this -1 is cumulative for each additional attack.  so for instance, if you get fired upon by multiple opponents, it gets harder and harder to dodge.

For the sake of simplicity, let's just remove the last 2d and 3d from your previous rolls, since we can see the sequence (and I hate to waste good rolls)

1st Reaction save is now
6 + 3 + 5 + 5

which is still 3 hits and more than Spike's 2 hits on his attack roll

The nimble Sith Warrior weaves through the spray of flechette shards!

2nd Reaction save is now
5 + 5 + 6

3 hits! but not quite enough to completely avoid Spike's 4 hits

The Sith Warrior continues to slip and duck, but he gets caught in a hail of carbon-fiber flechettes.  

Damage is 8P (8 boxes of Physical) + 1 per net hit.  Spike got 4 hits, -3 on reaction = a hit for 8P damage  (extra hits cause extra damage)

The Sith Warrior now rolls his Body + Impact Armor (2nd # after the \ )  +2 because Flechette rounds are weak against armored opponents.   The Sith Warrior currently is facing 8 boxes of damage


GM NOTE..... I can roll for Josh if he is busy with family stuff

Body 4 + Impact Armour 4 + 2 =

Result of the throw of dice "10d6" :

6 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 32

How many meters is a hex?

Also, I noticed that all of the icons are taking up more than one hex?

From the rules -

"To walk or run, the character must declare it during the Declare Actions part of his Action Phase. Walking does not take up any action, but running requires a Free Action. Once a mode of movement has been declared, the character moves in that mode until his next Action Phase."


So I have to state now what movement mode I am in for the whole round, correct?

So I have to state now what movement mode I am in for the whole round, correct?

hexes are 2m, just like in SW
yes, the models are a bit large, but that is just for visual ease, I can shrink them a bit if you prefer, but I thought it was still clear which hex they occupied.

wording is trickier here, since things don't have common usage with d20. A combat round, the whole round, includes 4 Initiative Passes, all characters get to act in 1 initiative pass, during their Action Phase. then some, depending on cyberware\adept powers, might get more Actions during subsequent Initiative Passes. My understanding is that your movement mode only lasts until your next Action in the next IP, not for the whole combat round, which is 4 IPs long.

To use d20 lingo...... I look at the 4 IPs as effectively 1 turn, consisting of 4 rounds (instead of 1 turn = 10 rds). Initiative gets re-rolled each turn, which can alter the sequence of Actions during the IPs. Initiative also gets modified by injury or other effects.

let me know if you guys interpret that differently

It is complicated; movement rate is based on per round, 10 per round for humans. That gets divided between passes.

navyik wrote:It is complicated; movement rate is based on per round, 10 per round for humans.  That gets divided between passes.

yeah, I mis-read it the first time I glanced at it, since it almost says 2 different things in different places

Movement Rate
The movement rates for each metatype are noted on the Movement
Table. This rate is the distance the character moves by that method per
Combat Turn (not per Initiative Pass).
If a character mixed his modes of movement during a Combat
Turn and it becomes important to know exactly how far the character
moved in a particular pass, simply divide his Movement Rate by the
number of passes in that turn.

to me that is still a bit murky, but their example clarified my questions

Twitch the elf samurai is chasing down an opponent. He’s an elf, so his Running Rate
is 25 meters per Combat Turn. This particular Combat Turn is three Initiative Passes
long, so he moves (25 ÷ 3) 8 meters per pass. If Twitch stopped running for one pass
to help up somebody his opponent knocked over, then he would only be moving 16
meters that Combat Turn.

Walking = no action at all (truly free)
Running = Free Action
Sprinting = Simple action, Str + Running, each hit adds +2m

so... because of Alan, there will always br 4 IPs, so everyone's movement rate gets divided by 4 and if you are walking, you can walk in each IP, even if you don't have an action.  that doesn't seem right, but I think it is.

we may need to house-rule a fix here, that just seems overly cumbersome and dumb

it makes sense for those people with multiple IPs, but for someone with 1 action, they should just get to take their movement, during their Action Pass and be done with it.  "oh, I am going to dive for cover... but I can only go 2m at a time.... ouch, I keep getting shot because I am moving like a snail.....oh, I am dead before I got to cover"

Ok, so my intent for trooper gold is to RUN for the cover of the light blue car, while firing a burst at the red guy (Spike or Shivak?)

If I am understanding this correctly, this can be done concurrently, because I see modifiers for shooting while moving...

So, he can RUN 6.25 meters, or 3.25 hexes on this IP.

Firing an automatic or burst weapon is a complex action. Running incurs a -2 dice penalty to the action.

My question now is - What IP does the actual attack take place on?

FULL burst is complex. Short burst or long burst is simple.

navyik wrote:FULL burst is complex. Short burst or long burst is simple.

Cool. Question still stands - Im not certain in what IP the attack takes place.

Any or all of them. I think the system breaks a split second down into parts.

So you're running for cover and shooting during all of your passes while I'm also shooting at a moving target in each of my passes.

Its like slow motion; very matrixy.

So long story short, and GM please confirm, I roll the attack action now, correct?

**sorry, in court all morning, just getting back now***

Yes, Matt can now take Gold's action, then Sith, then Red.  

 I reposted, below, the entire Combat Turn.   We are currently in Initiative Pass 1.

Matt gets to take the Action Passes for all 3 of his guys now.  Each one has already used their Free action to activate their reflexes.  Each one has either 2 Simples or 1 Complex action to take, on their Action Pass, during this IP.

Once Red Trooper has finished, we will go to IP 2, at which point Spike's dice pools refresh and he can again take 2 simple or 1 complex action + a free action (and maybe walking, which is no action at all)

Does this answer your question?

Great job on your first attempt!  

Let's talk our way through Trooper Gold, just to make sure we are on the same page.

I see 2 simple actions - firing 2 narrow bursts
+ free action - run

but you already spent your free action - activate reflexes when you rolled initiative.  This only eats the Free action in the first IP, in subsequent IPs, you would have it as usual

if you read the burst rules carefully, the penalties are -2, then -5

The first burst fired in an Action Phase inflicts a –2 recoil
modifier, the second inflicts an additional –3 recoil (neutralized by recoil compensation,
if any).

if you use your other simple action to sprint (Str + running) then that adds +2m per hit to your run speed.

However, the FN HAR assualt blaster rifle has a built-in RC (recoil compensation) of 2, which means you ignore the first -2 worth of recoil penalties.  Likely a PC would have greater RC, like Alan does

FN HAR also has a range of 50m, so no range penalties.

If you read the character sheet I sent you (I hope I remembered cyberware), Sith Troopers both have Smartgun links which add +2d to their shots

So really, your first shot is at 12d (+2 smartgun, -2 for running) if you use your other simple to sprint.  -2 recoil, negated by RC2
or you could not move and fire 2 bursts at 14d and 11d, no run -2, +2 smartgun, RC 2 and only the -3 for the 2nd burst

what is your run speed?  you might ask....

well the GM failed to tell you what race any of your guys belong to, so let's just assume a human-equivalent with 10m walk and 25m run speeds.  they would run at 25/4 or 6.25m in each IP, this is 3 hexes per IP, with the extra 1m getting lost (I suppose).  This gives great value to using a simple action to gain +2m per hit in any given IP, you could potentially double your speed per pass.

so.... with that information, you are back to the beginning with Trooper Gold

maybe just do Trooper Gold for now, let's see if we can navigate his action, then move on to Sith Warrior.  There is still the Defense rolls, possible damage calculations and soak rolls.

Target was red guy - so that is Spike
