SW Test Map

everything look ok?

Bob and Doug are walking down the street, just a Jedi and Bounty Hunter minding their own business.  They see a group of Imperial Remnant Troopers hassling some local Jawas who are trying to make an honest living as scavengers.  There is an older human with a beard complaining that he owns the junk pile and the Jawas are thieves, not scavengers.  It doesn't take the Force to know this is going sour quickly.....





PCs = green
IMPs = red
neutrals = yellow

Doug the Jedi will, of course, attempt to mediate.

"my good people, this is not worth violence, I'm sure that a satisfactory outcome can be achieved."

He's still ready for combat though....

Bob will already have his hands ready on his rifle...

One of the Jawas in the center is holding some kind of small turbine cyclinoid part. He jabbers in Jawese, which nobody present seems to speak.

The bearded human yells, "put my alternator down, you little thieving vermin!"

The two closest troopers turn when Doug speaks. One seems to notice Bob has a gun and looks ready for trouble. The other replies by pointing his thumb down the street, "This isn't your business. Move along, move along..."

The other troopers are focused on the junk dispute.


what do Bob and Doug do?

Bob will get things moving by shooting the first trooper he can get a bead on....


Initiative rolls first or is this considered surprise?

The 3 Troopers watching the junk dispute would be surprised, but the 2 that turned around are not.

Go ahead and roll initiative, the 3 won't get to act this first round. They didn't drink enough Jawa Juice this morning and are a little slow on the uptake.

Bob takes cover in the corner of the cantina and sinks a blaster bolt into the nearest trooper. The trooper clutches his gut and almost drops.

At 12, the Jawas all take the Dodge action and move for better cover. They want no part in a fire fight.

At 10, the other 3 troopers realize they are being attacked and join initiative.

The 2 active troopers run around behind the junk piles to enjoy some cover of their own before returning fire at Bob.


A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.

3/4 cover is like an arrow slit

total cover cannot be targeted at all

each trooper fires once at Bob, effective AC 18

Rolling "1d20 +2" 2 times

1: 8 + 2 = 10
2: 14 + 2 = 16

miss and miss




Doug is up

For now, Doug will cast Shield of Faith (+2 to AC) and ignite his lightsaber.

He will then move to I-16

Done for now, will use reaction to deflect blaster bolts if needed

AC: 18 (temp)
HP: 31
Med Armor (Breastplate) and Dex, (+2)
Movement: 30’
PP:13
Initiative: +3

ok

just a quick technical note or two....

Hunter's Mark is a BONUS action to cast. no such thing as a "free action" in 5e

Shield of Faith is also a bonus action to cast, so Doug still has a main action if he wants to do anything. I would recommend using Dodge to give all attackers Disadvantage, if nothing else

Bearded dude joins initiative

go ahead and amend Doug's turn if you want, then Bob is up

sorry, that's what I meant to put for Doug... Dodge. Sorry, still waking up

whit10 wrote:sorry, that's what I meant to put for Doug... Dodge.  Sorry, still waking up

ok, no problem


Bob is up

knew I forgot something.... Grenades!!!

Give me a minute here. Busy morning

let's try this....

Bob calls out to Doug "let's do this like we did on Dantooine"

Can you tell me where the guy is that Bob already shot?

wounded trooper is N-19

I changed his red boarder to a dotted line, instead of a solid line, but its hard to see

ok... thanks!

Bob will actually move to K-18, he should have a shot at the wounded guy (Colossus slayer in effect)

shot at that guy

Roll(1d20)+8:
18,+8
Total:26

if that hits:

Roll(1d8)+4:

Total:11

Colossus slayer damage:
Roll(1d8)+0:

Total:6

Hunter's mark damage:
Roll(1d6)+0:

done for now, unless he drops, in which case the Hunter's Mark will move to the guy to his right (N-22)

done

AC: 16

The wounded trooper still has partial cover, as it isn't a clean LoS, but Bob drops him anyways!

I made a green reticule to represent the Hunter's Mark spell.

the other 3 troopers can really only target Bob, sorry Bob

Doug is up

so - 13 damage.... since he has DR 2 that's just 9, right??

l'll take Doug's turn at lunch

whit10 wrote:so - 13 damage.... since he has DR 2 that's just 9, right??

yes sir, 2 off each shot. They got really lucky, lol

ok, no rush

Doug needs better spells....

He will move up L-19 and attempt to deflect any blaster bolts that come towards Bob. Using Reaction/Dodge

I'm still figuring out how this works with melee guy in a fight with all missile weapons....

map updated




that works, it would give Bob some cover

or Doug could just advance into melee range with the trooper, say N-20, and take a swing?


I think what you really want is the Fighting Style called Protection or Interception, available to Fighters and Paladins:


Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Protection. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.


Although, against multiple attackers, just acting like living cover, using Dodge might actually be the best option


Bob is up - remember, he can move, shoot, move in any combination

I didn't think he was in close enough range to close and actually attack. But I might have just misread it...


I'll take Bob's action in just a moment

Bob will move around the junk pile to M-16 to shoot at the ST at Q-16 (switched HM to him as well)


Roll(1d20)+8:
20,+8

hah! Crit the bastard....

Damage:

Roll(2d8)+4:
6,6,+4
Total:16

HM damage:
Roll(1d6)+0:

Total:2

total of 18 damage to that ST

I forget, if you have movement left, can you move back to cover?

and oops, there should be another die in there for Hunter's Mark - for the crit....

Roll(1d6)+0:
2,+0
Total:2

lol... ok, it's 20 damage instead of 18

sorry for the delay, yesterday got busy

Yes - movement can be taken at any time in relation to actions.

proper 5e action economy:

Bonus action - move HM to Q16 target
15 ft movement to M-16
Action - attack
15ft of movement back to K18

oops, I forgot to mention that 20 damage dropped that other trooper


Please remember stat blocks!

Jawas are content in their safety

Troopers fall back into a defensive position and to grant each other Adv

They will fire at both Bob and Doug. 2 at Doug and 1 at Bob

at Doug, he Dodged, so ADV and DIS cancel each other out

1st trooper
Rolling "1d20 +2"

1: 16 + 2 = 18

I think that 18 hits, but I can't find a stat block for Doug

that does hit. It's on the character page but here it is again (sorry about that)

I think he cast SoF too for another +2?

ok, damage then

Reaction to Deflect\redirect?

ok, Deflection attempt:

Roll(1d10)+7:
7,+7
Total:14

so that reduces the damage to 0 and he can redirect it????

(will note the spell SoF use on next stat block)

whit10 wrote:ok, Deflection attempt:

(will note the spell SoF use on next stat block)

correct!
deflection = d10 + dex + jedi\sith level (monk)
it uses 1 KI point, hmmm, have to think about this, but I guess 1\level like a monk


Deflect Missiles - only works against blaster bolts with an activated lightsaber

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk total Jedi\Sith level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki Force point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught deflected, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.

Jedi\Sith get 1 Force point per level (just like a Monk gets 1 KI point per level).  These Force points can ONLY be spent on Redirecting blaster bolts, unless you have other classes that have abilities that require KI points

ok then, he will use a Ki point (force point) to redirect it back at the guy that fired it.

ok, let's try this.... Doug will hold his full action for now and move and act in concert with Bob? I believe that can be done?

whit10 wrote:ok, let's try this.... Doug will hold his full action for now and move and act in concert with Bob?  I believe that can be done?

well.... technically that is not really doable in 5e since there isn't a Delay action. You could Ready an Action for when Bob goes, then Doug would interrupt Bob and go ahead of him. I guess. But you can't Ready a Move, only an Action. So Doug would still have to use his Movement now.

The Troopers go in between Bob and Doug, so effectively, if Doug goes now... only Bearded dude is in between Doug and Bob... so its basically Doug, then Bob anyways. I am not sure what you gain by the mess of Ready.

I see your point, I also thought that was how it worked but wanted confirmation. No worries

Doug will move to L-24. He will gaze intently at the ST at Q-24 and shout "Drop!"

that wouldn't affect his AC either way, so its still a miss

ST that was mind tricked drops his rifle and looks really confused

The other 2 shuffle around their junk pile to get better shots, 1 at Doug and 1 at Bob, both with ADV, both Auto fire for d10

at Doug

1: 7 + 2 = 9
2: 17 + 2 = 19

hit!

damage

Result of the throw of dice "1d10" :

Bob needs to make a DC10 Concentration check CON SV to maintain his Hunters Mark spell


If you take damage while you are concentrating on a spell, you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration.

The Difficulty Class (DC) for the concentration check equals 10 or half the damage you take, whichever is higher.












map updated



back to Doug

note for Bob - his HM does not have a target, I left the reticule out there as a reminder where it was on his last target.  Bonus Action to move it

right, I forgot to move it... I will take the next turn right around or after lunch. Kinda busy today (until the mid-afternoon, then it should get more relaxed, I hope)

Doug will move up the trooper that he used Command on....
