Sorry, life got in the way there for a while. I promise I will make a full post tomorrow...
Yes, but do any of the versions explicitly define what being "in melee" is?
P.S. - not criticizing you or your decision, just venting against the rules...
PWGM - you said : "You get a free attack when a target leaves base-to-base contact/melee range. So moving through the squares next to the Drone would draw the attack. See "Defend" in the core SW book pg 99 for details." This is the one thing I really object to out of all of SW as a whole. Withdrawing says "When a character retreats from melee, all adjacent characters get a Free Attack." If I just run by right next to someone, and I don't attack them, and they can't attack me because it's not their turn, I don't consider us "in melee". "In melee" to me means at least one attack attempt has been made by one person against another. I'd argue this is a point up for debate, but I know the entire SW community unfortunately agrees with your interpretation. But when I'm the GM, I go by my interpretation. I hate this so much because it reminds me of my Pathfinder/3.5 days, when such rules required the player to very carefully plan out his path thru melee, which I called "having to move my PC like a chess piece". I don't know if the official interpretation has changed from when I started playing SW 10 years(!) ago (or if I just didn't understand it), but I recall at the time being very happy that I didn't have to abide by *any* such rules.
Psiclops goes into defend mode and moves 6" towards the stairs.
PWGM - I'm stumped. I'm completely surrounded, and if I move in any direction, 3-5 enemies may get a Free Attack (or would only the dogs get one, if I'm "visible" only to them?). My PC has been using his powers for a while, does he have any feel for whether a bolt to the floor or ceiling may blast thru? Is there any way I can pull some kind of super-stunt to change my bolt to a blast for just one round? ALL - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
No problem. I always confuse Size and Scale, and every time I need to consider it, I always have to refer to the book because it's so confusing. Why did SW have to come up with *two* numbers to describe the same thing??? *Not* FFF in my opinion...
Seeing as the canine horrors can give away his general location, Psiclops attacks the one closest to him :
Assuming a 4 ranged attack hits, he does :
And then he moves along the ceiling 6" (map updated)
While invisible, Psiclops attacks Drone #1 : = 11, Raise
After attacking, Psiclops flies up to the ceiling, laying his back flat on the ceiling, and moves 4" (assuming a 10' ceiling, so 2" to get up there) .
PWGM - is everything alright? It's been 16 days since you made a post in this game...
Savant - sorry to hear about that. Hope it's easily treatable.
Remember, these drones are genetically engineered to fight supers. They might have smelled us or something.
Psiclops moves up one more floor, and mentally asks Karma Are you here? What have you noticed?
Psiclops moves to the stairs, and gets to the third floor. He only takes cursory glances at the floors as he goes.
Psiclops will open the front door and walk in.
He tries to pick the lock :
He opens the door to the stairwell and starts to climb.
Well, our cover's blown. Dr. D *did* say he just wanted this building leveled, so why don't we just do that? Karma can quickly scope out what's happening on the top floor, and then we can just storm the building and start attacking everything in sight.
Genius was the best buy I made Re-rolls are really quite powerful. About half the time, the re-roll will be better than the original roll.
Hope PWGM doesn't mind me posting this, but there's a recruitment for a Savage Worlds RIFTS game...in Atlantis! I'm not the GM. Click HERE. If you have SWADE RIFTS, you only need one other manual, $10 in PDF form. It has new races and Frameworks, but I'm not really sure you'd even need it if you go with SWADE RIFTS races and Frameworks.
I have my Omega link, but I implied above that I was invisible and waiting at the front door for Karma to let me in if there's no living or mechanical surveillance in the front room.
Psiclops has all his gear with him, and is invisible. Karma, you're the one that can go where you please. If you go in the front door and scope things out, and there's no people or cameras in that room, you could open the door for me to get in.
Psiclops says to Karma "How do you want to handle backup? I could go in with you invisible, so if they detect one of us they'll probably detect both. We can stay on comms with the others, and call for them to storm the place if needed. Whadayathink?"
We have 3 votes for Firewalls and the Cannery. I think even with Gilgamesh joining, that's a majority. "Make it so!" ;)
Base Defenses : the base’s entrances have automated turrets equipped with either stun guns or pulse Gatling lasers (team’s choice). We get the video surveillance (which Karma initially requested) no matter what Upgrade we take, so I'm ok with Advanced Firewalls. Altho I'm sure it won't keep Dr. Destruction from spying on us... So now we have 2 votes for Firewalls. It's not a majority, but it has the most votes. Anyone else have thoughts on this? I'm ok with our location being the Hazel Cannery.
Ok, let's try this : does anyone object to Base Defenses (along with a security system like Karma wants)? Speak now or forever hold your peace!
Yes. If you buy them from the publisher, you can download updated PDF's for free for eternity. Their website is : https://peginc.com/
The Security system comes free with a related upgrade. Well, that changes everything. I would vote for Defenses.
Ok, so discussion about the security system... 3 out of 4 of us have voted for some kind of security, with Doc Toxic voting to remove the Crumbling penalty. PWGM said that it would cost $2500-5000 for equipment. Do we even have that much money? How much money do we have? I suggested that we sell the weapons we got from the last job, but no one followed up on that... Karma, is there any reason you don't want to use the upgrade for a (probably) state-of-the-art security system? It does come with a pretty stiff complication, but that just adds spice to the game.
Once the security system purchases are made and getting installed by Savant
So far no one's suggested anything other than a security system, which 3 people have said they'd like to have. Trapping the Security Team option to be equipment seems to be the best option (to get high-quality equipment), IMHO. And no one's said otherwise... Come to think of it, there's only been 4 players posting lately. I know Atlas is MIA, how many other players are there currently supposed to be in the game?
Cute! I found a text-based Morse code translator on-line to read it.
"Are we going to sell all the stuff from the van, and all the weapons we got off the gang, so we can have some spending money?" At some point Psyclops leaves for a bit, goes to his mother's house, and gets his $300.
