called shot is a full action I thought...
Sorry, yes you're right
man being pinned sucks. i think cort is pretty much out of the fight
You're not pinned any more. The attack to initially pin you comes with modifiers, tests to escape pinning are at +0 unless you have not been shot at this turn, in which case it's +20.
A good strategy for getting rid of the pinned status are to pull back to where you cannot be shot at and get that +20.
There are tallents to help avoid being pinned.
I'm going to house rule that the test to avoid being pinned by semi-auto is iniatally +20.
Oh well good to be in the fight next rd I can be usefulagain
On the topic of dealing with suppressing fire:
FFGs forum thread
Hey Phil I have a question on how the Talents: Rapid Reload and the passive upgrade Loader for the comrade would work together?
I don't think there's an official line for that one but I'd say you can reduce the reload time by a half action but still have your comrade load it for you completely. So for example if it takes a full action to reload normally you can aim and fire while your comrade half action reloads and half action fires with you (getting you the +5)
so something like the Autocannon which has a reload time of 2Full... Would be something like a full action for my comrade while I fire or half action for each of us?
2 Full would become 1 full that your comrade could take completely. That's my line on it, that's how it is raw.
I'm glad someone is looking at the comrade advances
i plan to take the spotter one once i go marksman
On a random sidenote...yay I finally found my Deathwatch book!
I know a man who's looking for deathwatch players on this site...
Yes Garion I am in need of a few DW players... We've had some interest losses
Words cannot express how interested I would be. And I have a good knowledge of the lore.
Give a few days to read through all the post so far and get my back out. Sunday at the latest. Any info I should know?
They are in need of a Doc... There is one already in the game if you want to pick up his profile.
Hmm perhaps. Not the Dark Angel Librarian I love, but I always enjoyed Apothecaries as well. What Chapter is he?
Isn't rolling max damage a roll on the critical table? I have to go read the rules again I thought that is what it was
Yes it is. It's a d5 on the critical table. Sorry yes that got past me. You can roll now.
You mean I got something rules right! Omg I am doing a happy dance!
Hoping getting suddenly shot may make him jerk the wheel or something and wreck, not run me down.
He'd have to turn/react very quickly to turn into you. It's not imposible, but it's unlightly.
However, you might have other problems!
Oh im sure I have other problems...like 4 lasguns and a heavy gunner. Cmon boys, dont let your commissar die before he gets to exexute somebody!
OK so this isn't going too well for you guys!
A couple of tips:
- Suppressing fire is how to stay alive in any low powered 40K game. The best weapons you have for this are the fully auto ones. Storm bolter, autogun, and whoever picked up that heavy stubber
- That flamer is deadly because it doesn't have to aim and it only requires a half action to fire. You really want to take it out quickly. 1 hit has potential to kill. Hence Garion really needs some help! If the flamer isn't taken out quickly so will Wikivaya and eventually Cormeg
- You all have flashlights in your packs. They'll only help up to about 10m but it's better than nothing.
Not going well for Garion at all.
I never picked a demeanor, what is one that would represent always keeping his cool, calm under fire or pressure?
hey Garion I can put you out with Bullets.
Maybe you will put yourself out next round. always another fate point to use
I only had the 1 unfortunately.
Sorry I haven't had a chance to get the map/dominate turn up last night. There's a sizable chance that I won't be able to get it up tonight either. I'll get to it ASAP.
@Jermaie - How many rounds do you have left in your storm bolter?
Originally, I was just counting them as one shot each, but I just looked up the storm rule and it says I'm expending twice the amount of ammunition, leaving me with 32. I also forgot I should have been getting twice the amount of hits for each of those. I'll keep track of that from now on.
Alright Lark, is that 2 rounds or 1 I'm questioning myself.
Alright Lark, is that 2 rounds or 1 I'm questioning myself.
Please rephrase. I don't understand the question
You only get 1 hit. You need 3 degrees of success to get a second hit. Also it hits the leg so it will have to get through armour and cover. Chances are it will still kill him though!
Also, there are some advances I would like to purchase as well. I'm not sure how soon I can implement them though... Now during the conflict or after?
They are:
Loader(250xp)
Rapid Reload(300xp)
Just take them now. Generally I'm not a fan of allowing people to level up during an encounter, but you started the game with that XP and I don't think eith of those advances are majorly game changing.
Also I feel bad for you after that dominate trooper dodged out of your way.
No worries, these things happen.
I'd apreciate it if you could use your profile when posting. I use the link that goes with it quite a bit to double check things.
Run for the pool! Fire sucks
Good plan except:
He's cut off from the pool by enemy troopersHe's further away than you were
He has to cross difficult terain to get there
...hug the troopers and catch them on fire too?
I was just thinking that. I think that would work like a grapple attack that causes damage and has potential of setting them on fire too...
Also Garion. You recieved 1 fatigue. That's a -10 on all tests until you rest.
Cort, if you were a commissar, you'd be the worst... ever... in history... like, bloody eternity.
i dont know what you are talking about. I would be the greatest ever!
My characters seem to have a strange affinity for fire.
Also, at least Wikvaya gets the glorious death he wanted. His perceived badassery upon dying is tenfold when he dies while on fire.
Even better if it's while doing something heroic or badass while on fire.
What ever happened to Solar (his companion) anyway?
Cmon now, you could live through this! The Emperor...er I mean dice Protect!
good luck with cort after this garion he is going to be even more morbid
Ahhh hell...

Solar is considered to be on fire too! At this point he is wounded, if he takes another wound he will die
