    ( I know you are all blind at the moment, but I will provide more pics and a map as things are revealed)

    T'son is up

    I will post the map here, when needed and we establish positions.

    I want this thread to be just for the battle map and map updates, with turn updates, counters, etc.

    Keep posting your actions in the thread, as usual. My thinking here, and this is only a test, is that I have heard and experienced the map and the turn order getting lost in the comments thread. I want to have just the updated map and info here, so you can access that info more easily without searching through pages of posts. I would suggest opening 2 tabs\windows - 1 with the map and 1 with the comment thread - when you make moves or take your turn. Let's see if this works any better.

    In other words.... don't post here!

    I didn't have a dry erase marker when I took the initial pics, but I have one now, so I will put letters\numbers on the map as you move

    I think the map should be clear, but just to make sure

    the stream you crossed is to the North (the enemy gate is always down!).  Sharn was in the lead and hide in the foliage.  T'son took partial cover behind a fallen tree.  Rakhu moved up to his position and also hid.  Daxx did not hide nor move and is still back by the stream.

    Ok, here is the new map.  sorry for the orientation change, the enemy gate is now to the right!

    Before we go any further, I want to make sure this is correct, as I heard a couple different variations of the plan.  I am going by the last posted, if this is not right, now is the time to speak up, or forever hold your Taun-tauns

    Upper left corner - we have Rakhu, Sharn and Daxx all going up the left side of the mountain now (as opposed to the first plan) all starting in hiding behind a bush and rocks.

    middle, left side - we have T'son in the middle with the frag launcher

    enemies - top middle of the map, the garindan and the trando, by the speeder
               - bottom middle, human, downed droid, functional droid
               - far right side of map, top of hill, 2 guards a nikto and a lando, another on top of the rock
               - target flak gun near lower right hand corner of map

    results of the setup phase:

    Sharn -  buffed before combat started with EA
    stealth 18
    init 12

    Daxx
    stealth 24
    init 21

    Rakhu
    stealth 25
    init 19

    Tson
    stealth 21
    init 23

    heroes move into position using stealth

    Soren's Mercenaries are on duty to guard this bunker.  they are very well paid and highly trained.  However - they were not alerted by the Probe Droid, so they all get a -5 to their spot checks, -10 to the guy working on the droid and -10 to the guys way up the hill, unless they had some special equipment.

    Spot checks all around for the mercs were mixed, I rolled them in groups based on their class\designation and range, so some did better than others.

    The Heroes sneak up into their above positions and get ready to initiate combat, but the Garindan and the Trandoshan by the speeder bike alert to someone coming up the left flank and also notice movement in the middle.  They are not surprised, nor do they appear to have been caught flat footed.

    The guy fixing the droids seems oblivious.... and continues his work while humming a happy little tune

    The lone guy on top of the rock also alerts to movement on the left and middle, but the two by the gates don't seem to react.

    SURPRISE ACTIONS:

    Daxx gets 1 standard action
    Rakhu gets 1 standard action

    Initiative will then proceed as follows:

    T'son 23
    Daxx 21 *10 rds BM
    Garindan\Trando 20
    Rakhu 19
    Lone guy on rock 16
    Sharn 12   *9 rds EA
    door guards 9
    droid guy 8
    droid 6



    Daxx, then Rakhu surprise are up!

    Daxx focuses his mind for the upcoming fight!

    I would really appreciate if you guys could keep a running total of your stuff when you post in combat. I know it is a bit more booking, but the GM is keeping track of the all NPC stats, initiative and I am even keeping your buff timers. mostly I just want to see a current running total on Vitality and Wound pts

    so for instance Daxx's post would look like this

    or V 39\44

    My weapon must fire at least twice. He will pull the trigger and aim for the garindan. I will let u decide how that works in the surprize round, chris.

    an interesting dilemma....

    I think the simple answer is that you cannot fire a weapon that requires a FULL ROUND ACTION (which it does) during surprise, when you only get a partial action - either standard (attack in SW) or move. Rakhu would know this and could start with something else in his hand, if you choose.

    This also covers anyone trying to make multiple attacks, like 2 weapon fighting or rapid shot or even just having the +6\+1 2 attacks or any Force powers that require a Full Round Action to use.


    however.... in the interest of fun and games, I would let you spend your move action from your actual turn now, so that you can go multi\auto fire during surprise if you want. When you initiative comes up, however, you only have a standard action remaining and would not be able to fire multi\auto again and would have to take another single standard action at that time. Or do something else now and go multi\auto during your action.

    up to you, magoo

    if I might add an option... Alan, you could burn a force point for an extra standard action. If the GM allows it anyway

    Dmg 4d6+1= 10

    DC to hit a Hex = 10
    pg 165 of the core book shows the scatter\miss rules

    Rakhu's grennade lands 4m off target to the West, which is 2 hexes west of the target and about 1 hex north of the downed droid.  The downed droid gets no save and is blown to bits by the shrapnel.  The guy working on the droid seems to have ducked his head, just in time.  The standing droid took a good blast of frag pieces and appears clearly damaged though is still standing.

    updated map for the start of round 1

    I know that there are no numbers, but try to use the LETTERS across the bottom to at least let me know what column your target or movement is in.  Or give me something like, XXX moves 3 hexes west and 1 NW or something.

    The blast seems to have caught everyone's attention, if they weren't already alerted.

    Droid bits are scattered everywhere. The guy didn't seem ready for a second volley, but he appears to have a bit heavier armor on under his poncho and is still ok.

    I'll take my action when I get home (I'll just edit this post)... I just want to make sure that the GM knows that Daxx currently has EA and BM going (+6 to Dex, +3 to Attacks). EA was used before this actually started so, it has 9 rounds left.

    Vitality 32/40

    Daxx only has Battle Mind activated currently. EA was the last fight with the probe droid, remember it only lasts 10 rds or 1 min, so after sneaking up the hill some 100-200m, that expired, which is why I didn't include it in your buff *lists.

    you made initiative and stealth checks in n146

    Sharn declared he was using EA before this fight in n149

    to which you replied in n150, you were moving stealthily towards the speeder

    I believe your vitality is correct, since no one chose to use any healing skills before moving up the hill, but your EA is expired

    Dam - forgot my move action - can I still declare one?

    If so - T'son will move forward/right to the cover just above E&F.

    I think in the interest of fairness, someone else has already taken an action, so at this point, we're moving on to the Scout's turns, sorry.

    Fighting for FLAK - combat only Fighti17

    The Garindan uses 1 move action to hop on the speeder bike and a 2nd move action to fly the speeder bike (100m spd).  He makes a slow U-turn before gassing it up to full speed.  He lands behind a large fallen tree, as seen on the map.  I am showing where he landed, because of the all the various lines of sight, but he is effectively blocked LOS (full cover) from Rakhu and T'son.

    The Trandoshan, who saw Sharn sneaking up before the fight started, bares his fangs and makes a quick gesture to the wookie.  Sharn instantly knows the meaning of the Trandoshan's thumb claw being dragged backwards over his head in a "scalping" motion.  Wookie pelts are a prized trophy for Trandoshan hunters.  They have committed many atrocities (think ivory hunter stuff) to the Wookies over many centuries of hunting them, often on their own homeworld of Kashyyyk.

    The Trandoshan moves and draws his rifle, as noted.  He takes 1 shot at Sharn, it just barely whizzes past the Wookie.  Sharn gets the sense that only his force-heightened reflexes saved him that time!

    Sad damn, poor Tech Specialist never even got to do anything.  all 3 shots hit his flatfooted butt and drop him in the dirt next to his busted up droids.

    The guy on top of the rocks uses a move action to activate a softball-sized sphere he was holding.  The sphere splits in 2 and separates about 6m apart, as it hovers about 1m off the ground.  The heroes can see a faint energy field form in between the sphere halves.  The Sharpshooter then drops prone (free action) behind his shield and takes a shot at Rakhu for killing his Techie companion.

    Twisted Evil  he threatens a crit on an 18

    crit check.... failed!

    I thought Sharn had already moved up to behind the bush that is near Trandoshan.

    "...the Left side - looks like a Garindan (lt) and a Trandoshan, the racial enemy of wookies (rt) standing near a speeder bike"

    Sharn's plan is to accompany Daxx , and assist where necessary to disable the tower. First though, he must deal with the hated Trandoshan. Perhaps the speeder bike will also come in handy? He still has on his combat gloves.

    Enhance Ability (Dex): 7+16= 23... +4 DEX (+2 mod)

    Stealth Check: 2+9+2= 13

    Sharn is behind the bush, waiting his turn to tear the Trandoshan a new one.



    If not, I guess I'll do that now.

    I asked everyone to deploy on the left side of the map.  This was your deployment.

    Sharn's plan is to accompany Daxx ,  

    Sharn is with Daxx, behind a bush and heading towards where the speeder bike used to be, as you requested.

    Sharn is behind the bush, waiting his turn to tear the Trandoshan a new one.

    I think the bush you 2 are hiding behind got a bit obscured by the 2 character tokens, sorry.




    If not, I guess I'll do that now.

    This is Sharn's first turn during combat.    


    Sharn has been spotted, the Trando gave him the scalping gesture and has shot at him, so he is no longer in stealth mode.  If you read the opening post of the fight, the 2 scouts (Garindan and Trando) and the Sharpshooter, alerted to someone on the top of the map (Sharn) and someone in the middle (T'son), which is why only Daxx and Rakhu got surprise actions.

    I did ask everyone, twice, to check the map and make sure your character was where you wanted it before combat started.  But maybe you missed those requests in all the arguing about the plan jibber-jabber.

    so you could attempt to enter stealth again and move at half speed, if you want, or take your normal movement and then hide (at the risk of the enemy knowing your general location since they would see the move).  

    Sharn could make it to the next closet bush while using stealth.  Sharn could double move to the fallen tree and drop prone (free).

    .......Or something else, if you prefer

    let me try to blow up your area and see if that helps you and so you can better count your hexes, remember you move 5 hexes in any direction

    Sharn sneaks over to the fallen tree (X2 move) and goes prone.

    I posted the Pathfinder Stealth rules in the SW house rules, sorry that I didn't make this distinction earlier. I posted it since this group seems to use Stealth a lot and this should remove any future confusion. If anyone is not sure about stealth - ask first study 

    Given the terrain, I think you have something to hide behind, namely the fallen tree, when you get there, which offsets the normal restriction since the Trandoshan is watching you (attacking you) and you didn't Bluff or somehow distract him.

    If you want to make it to the tree using stealth and moving at greater than half your speed, you can, but it will incur the -5 penalty as described. So your stealth total will be 13.

    Or you can choose something else, since the stealth rules weren't as clear as I should have made them.

    You said I could legally make the move to behind the tree. Still not sure what happened to the surprise round, where I would have moved up there already; either behind the fallen tree, or closer yet, behind the bush, but that's what Sharn aims to do now.

    It sounds like only T'son and Rakhu got surprise? Apparently my initial stealth check wasn't even warranted. I had already been in stealth mode from climbing up the trail and encountered the droid. Apparently, this is a whole new encounter, so that's fine. I make another check and spend a force point. He saw me, but I still didn't get my move. And now I guess he saw me anyways, which is a wasted point.

    I have partial cover +2 behind the bush. Does that stack with the other bushes and foliage? Depending on how he sees me, then I could have additional cover. Of course he would need to move around to see me better.

    But okay, he has a "bead" on me, that's fine. There's really no point in sneaking up to the fallen tree if I know he's watching me. I could make a charge or whatever. You said the tree is full cover if Sharn went prone? That's what he did.

    So it just amounts to having a standard action left? It's not like the Trando gets an AoO, or something while I move over there? In that case I run briskly, not worrying about stealth.

    If I have a standard action left, can I do something like "be defensive" and gain +2 to defense and saves?

    Otherwise, I'll use the Force.

    technically, AoO happen whenever you move into someone's threat range (i.e. right next to them, unless they have reach)... something to think about, I've gotten burned on this repeatedly. You have to attack if you move into attack range, otherwise they get an AoO.... unless Chris reads it differently

    Hehehe, now you know our frustration as players in WWW.  I apologize if my map and description were not clear enough and I did try to give everyone time to ask questions or say if something wasn't correct.

    Surprise - as I have always known it to be played, and as it is written on pg 151 of the SW Core Book, reads that you are surprised if you don't know about your enemy or they are surprised if they don't know about you.

    Please re-read the battle map setup thread with this in mind.

    heroes move into position using stealth

    Soren's Mercenaries are on duty to guard this bunker.  they are very well paid and highly trained.  However - they were not alerted by the Probe Droid, so they all get a -5 to their spot checks, -10 to the guy working on the droid and -10 to the guys way up the hill, unless they had some special equipment.

    Spot checks all around for the mercs were mixed, I rolled them in groups based on their class\designation and range, so some did better than others.

    The Heroes sneak up into their above positions and get ready to initiate combat, but the Garindan and the Trandoshan by the speeder bike alert to someone coming up the left flank and also notice movement in the middle.  They are not surprised, nor do they appear to have been caught flat footed.

    The guy fixing the droids seems oblivious.... and continues his work while humming a happy little tune

    The lone guy on top of the rock also alerts to movement on the left and middle, but the two by the gates don't seem to react.

    SURPRISE ACTIONS:

    Daxx gets 1 standard action
    Rakhu gets 1 standard action


    I asked everyone for a stealth check for this encounter, to determine who would be surprised and who wasn't.  The Probe Droid fight was several minutes earlier and a whole different combat.  The stealth check when you spent the Force point WAS for the this initial startup map deployment.  

    I gave all the Mercs spot checks, modified by their proximity and level of distraction or alertness.  Sharn and T'son were spotted, as noted in the text.  Therefore the enemy was aware of Sharn and T'son, so you did not get a surprise action.  Only Rakhu and Daxx had stealth checks that beat the Merc's Spot rolls.  I said these guys are highly trainied, meaning not scrubs, and I have revealed some of them to be Scouts and Sharpshooters (high spot checks).

    This is Sharn's first action, which is why he is still in his initial setup position.  

    I wasn't presuming to know why you used stealth or not, that is up to you.  I was just giving you the possibilities based on what you stated you wanted to do.

    I enlarged the map so you could see the hexes.  Yes, Sharn can make it to the tree, which would take a double move - count the hexes.  Or he could move at half speed in the stealth to the next closest bush.  Or Sharn could stealth to the tree at a -5 penalty.  

    hopefully that is clear now, here is the updated map with Sharn's new position, dropping prone behind the fallen tree for full cover.

    Not quite.....   it has nothing to do with whether or not you attack.  AoO only deals with whether MOVE or TAKE AN ACTION during which you cannot defend yourself WHILE INSIDE someone's threat zone.

    these types of actions - cast a spell, use most skills, etc

    You can move into someone's threat zone and do nothing - this does not provoke an AoO.  However once you are inside their threat zone, you cannot move again or take an action, as above, without the AoO.  You can attack or not, but as long as you are paying attention to the melee wpn in your face, they don't get the OPPORTUNITY to attack you

    your beloved Pathfinder spells it out clearly

    Attacks of Opportunity

    Sometimes a combatant in a melee lets her guard down or takes a reckless action. In this case, combatants near her can take advantage of her lapse in defense to attack her for free. These free attacks are called attacks of opportunity. See the Attacks of Opportunity diagram for an example of how they work.

    Threatened Squares: You threaten all squares into which you can make a melee attack, even when it is not your turn. Generally, that means everything in all squares adjacent to your space (including diagonally). An enemy that takes certain actions while in a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity from you. If you're unarmed, you don't normally threaten any squares and thus can't make attacks of opportunity.

    Reach Weapons: Most creatures of Medium or smaller size have a reach of only 5 feet. This means that they can make melee attacks only against creatures up to 5 feet (1 square) away. However, Small and Medium creatures wielding reach weapons threaten more squares than a typical creature. In addition, most creatures larger than Medium have a natural reach of 10 feet or more.

    Provoking an Attack of Opportunity: Two kinds of actions can provoke attacks of opportunity: moving out of a threatened square and performing certain actions within a threatened square.

    Moving: Moving out of a threatened square usually provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening opponents. There are two common methods of avoiding such an attack—the 5-foot step and the withdraw action. **chris adds TUMBLING**

    Performing a Distracting Act: Some actions, when performed in a threatened square, provoke attacks of opportunity as you divert your attention from the battle. Table: Actions in Combat notes many of the actions that provoke attacks of opportunity.

    Remember that even actions that normally provoke attacks of opportunity may have exceptions to this rule.

    anyways, back to this fight - door guards turn.

    The two door guards appear to discuss something briefly, pointing towards their fallen Tech Specialist in despair.  The Lando guard turns and activates a small control panel near the blast doors.  The doors open with a WOOSH and he takes his move action to run inside, after which the doors close shut again, WUUMP.

    The Nikto guard moves 10m up to the center rock, as seen, and fires at T'son as his buddy already targeted Rakhu.  His shot is well wide of the target.

    "MOVING!" shouts T'son, crouching down in a quick sprint to the cover shown just above E&F. He ends his move on the hex that splits C&D on the bottom side of that cover. Straight down 6 hexs and turn towards the cover another 3, for a total of 9 - by my count.

    When he arrives, he drops to one knee and fires a shot from the grenade launcher at the hex in direct LOS that sits right between the speeder icon and and the cover (it splits Q&R i think).

    Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +4" :

    9 + 4 = 13

    Damage -
    Result of the throw of dice "4d6 +1" :

    3 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 19

    Chris, if you're referring to the Weird West adventure, I had no idea it was so frustrating. There was a glitch in AoO's, but that's because the author doesn't use them. He only included a few simplified options for readers. I think his style is more in the vein of AD&D. I like simplified AoO's too, but they make sense in certain contexts. Don't like to the nit-pick aspect of them, though.

    But that is neither here not there, or is it? tongue 

    BTW, I am greatly enjoying the models and maps. And the close attention to detail. Personally for tactical stuff, I prefer grid to hexes, but TETO.

    So T'son moved 9 hexes, 18 meters, and shoots. Isn't that a double-move plus an attack action?

    You can get extra action. (Also bear in mind grenade is an indirect fire weapon isnt it?)

    If I can use a force point, to double move and then shoot, I will.

    The weapons range isnt really an issue, just my ability to move as far as I'd like to and still take an attack. I want to spread us out a bit, get a shot off, and end under some form of cover...

    Rob is correct. Movement in SW is 10 meters per turn, so 5 hexes. Not 6 (30/5) like fantasy games.

    Yes, per house rules, Force Points can be used like Action Points from other games, including but not limited to: extra action, extra use of a feat, etc

    Alan is semi-correct also correct about a grenade being used as an indirect weapon - HOWEVER - the hex would still have concealment if you can't see it. You can throw a grenade over a barrier and in that way bypass the blocked LOS and possibly the Cover bonus, if the grenade actually clears the barrier and lands at the intended target.

    Think about it this way.... there is a wall that blocks your line of sight. On the other side of the wall is a basket that with a 1m radius in an area 10mx10m. if you don't know exactly which hex the basket is in, which you don't it is just a guess, how hard would it be to throw a water balloon over the wall and make it land in the basket? It is really just luck whether you get the basket or not, since you don't know which hex holds the basket. It really isn't a matter of making the balloon land where you want, it is more about guessing the location.

    It would be very conceivable that when the water balloon explodes on impact that the basket gets wet from the burst, probably a 50\50 chance, depending on burst radius to size of the area to size of the target.

    That is why Concealment uses a miss % and not a flat +X to DC\reflex like cover does.

    I am glad you are enjoying the maps and models, thanks!!

    I was actually referring to the fight at the ranch, not the AoO, as that was confusion due to map scale, token identification and length of encounter. But it is all good, we got through it and had fun!

    Tson will have LOS on the target hex from his originally stated endpoint.

    Is this position correct? let me know if not and I can adjust

    T'son moves out, hustling and staying low across the field of fire. As he rounds the corner of the southern most E\F bush.

    In the dramatic flow of combat, T'son sees the Garindan riding the speeder bike and coming around the corner of the fallen tree. T'son lets fly a grenade which explodes under the speeder. The Scout manages to stay on his speeder (pilot check), though the bike and rider each take some frag damage.
