Sorry for the late response! I forgot to check this last few days and of course THAT's when the game comes up!
Maybe a temporary hiatus is in order?
The issue with combat is just how initiative is rolled. It's usually a card draw, but I'm sure there's alternative means of doing so.
Roll d20 + Agility die to get a number from 2-32. Ties are resolved by the following:
Agility die trumps, so if one person gets a 10 on the d20 and a 6 on the agility die, that beats someone who gets a 12 on the d20 and a 4 on the agility die.
After that,
Wild cards beat regulars.
PCs beat NPCs.
If two PCs are tied, roll a d6: 1-3, the player on the left edges out, 4-6, player on the right.
Rolling a 20 on the d20 indicates a joker.
Fair enough
Sounds good.
It might be time to mark this game as inactive.
yep
I'm still here, and keen to keep going when you have the time Corsario.
Sorry for the delay. I still want to run it, but work has been very demanding lately, and haven't finish to grab the hold of the rules.
Help me here:
- So the people without MDC weapons can't affect the SAMAS coalition soldiers'
Looks like it. If they have MDC armour you need a weapon that does MDC damage to hurt them. That's ok though. We've got a Glitterboy :P We can always shoot at the hover bike riders.
- The Glitter Boy actually obliterated one of the SAMAS?
I'm not sure what the Samas's toughness is but it looks like for every 4 points the boom guns damage exceeded it by, a wound would be caused.
Applying Damage
The damage of an attack is compared to the victim’s Toughness just like a Trait roll (though it isn’t one so you can’t spend a Benny on it). With a success, the victim is Shaken. For each raise over his Toughness he suffers a wound as well, as shown below:
• Success: The character is Shaken. If he was already Shaken, he suffers a wound and remains Shaken. To cause a wound, the latter Shaken result must come from a physical attack of some kind—not a Test of Wills or other maneuver.
• Raise: The character suffers a wound for every raise on the damage roll, and is Shaken. (When wounds are caused, it doesn’t matter if the victim was already Shaken beforehand.)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
To be fair, I have no idea if I obliterated it, but my experiences with Savage Worlds tells me that yes, with that much damage I completely wrecked its face.
The GM does get a stack of Bennies, however, and can spend one to soak damage (by which I mean it could make a vigor roll and reduce wounds by each success and raise).
I've hidden this campaign from my campaigns page. Please PM me if it starts up again.

Corsario, if you're having problems GM'ing SW combat, let's talk. I've GM'd several SW PbP games in the past...
