GRIM*! Gaming Network’s SFS2 1-02: Mystery of the Frozen Moon

I'm a little confused by the interaction of Primary Target and Area weapons - how does the attack roll factor into it?

I get that a hit will cause failure and suppression for the target (unless they get a crit success). Does it effect the Primary Target damage in any way? ie. Does a miss mean that the Area Fire damage isn't taken or reduced in some way? Or is still dependent on the subsequent Reflex save for both? Or does each (Primary Target damage and Area Fire) require a separate Reflex save from the Primary Target?

Think of them as 2 separate attacks

2. Area damage. Role area damage once: all targets in the area roll a saving throw vs that damage. If the Primary Target was hit by the primary attack, apply the saving throw adjustment to the primary target's saving throw.

Fun little observation, unless I missed something - Out of all the player d20 rolls in this combat, only 4 have been above 10.

On the flip side, all my GM nat 20s and 19s have been on flat check vs Concealed, which has saved you from some critical hits.

So the takeaway from this is that dropping a fog cloud loses you encounters. Got it.

I suppose it matters what order you roll in, but the dice will likely figure that out too.

Think of them as 2 separate attacks
1. Primary attack (Attack roll and damage roll as a normal attack)

2. Area damage. Role area damage once: all targets in the area roll a saving throw vs that damage. If the Primary Target was hit by the primary attack, apply the saving throw adjustment to the primary target's saving throw.

Thanks. I was cool with most of that. It was the Primary Attack that I wasn't sure if it worked like the usual Area Damage or just resolved damage on a hit in the same way a pistol or rifle would. I had initially thought the latter but began second guessing the more I read.

Appreciate you taking the time to help!

Question - is the party not familiar with the concept of icicles, or are we just doing a bit here?

For roleplaying purposes.

For roleplaying purposes.

The icicle comment was just because someone critically failed a survival check. Anyone in the party not from the bright side of Vercies or Pheniox, AZ, is likely familiar with them. I suppose anyone from the Idori or Absalom Station is also not likely to have seen icicles in person.

I did go with the flow that is what my character knows. Coming from a place where surprisingly, snow stayed in the ground for many days, I know icicle.

When you get time, can I get everyone to fill out the following information for the chronical sheets.

Scenario 1-10: Rites of Rekindling just came out today. I had a chance to read it, and as I had suspected, it kind of indirectly ties into some of the earlier events in Mystery of the Frozen Moon. I was wondering if any of you would like to continue on with 1-10: Rites of Rekindling when we finish this game?

Depending on the timing of finishing the current game and the holidays might wait until the beginning of the year to start.

Yes. I have an interest to continue towards 1-10.

Count me in.

I'm down.

I'm in.

Sure!

I try to read diagonally, and will post in character later, as I am at my break at work.

Sure! :)
