<COUGH> <COUGH> (same here) <COUGH><COUGH>

went to the movies, came home, played fallout 3, flopped into bed

I wont make the same mistake tonight ..... i hope

damn if it isnt an addictive game!

I just want to run a few things by people in case they dont know as this relates to combat and its important:

Firstly here's how combat works (kinda sorta)

Ranged combat

Target a body part (hands, legs, chest (default) or head)
Determine DC
Roll to hit (2D10 + Ranged Skill) Vs DC
If you pass you damage
Armor save
Assign damage

Hand to hand combat:

Target a body Part (Hands, Legs, Chest (default) or head)
Determine DC
Roll to hit (2D10 + melee skill)
If you pass you damage
Armor save
Assign damage


Both cases are nearly identical apart from skill used to add to your roll. If you dont have a skill (for example you dont have the skill to throw a grenade i will use your DEX bonus with the 2D10 Roll)

MOST IMPORTANTLY as this applies to you aswell are body parts (hence me asking all the time what body part do you want to shoot at)

You can shoot at the head, the arms the legs or the chest

The chest area is the default area as its the largest and easiest to hit unfortunately its got the most amount of hit points and therefore is the hardest area to take out. The legs and arms have half the amount of hit points the chest area has and the head and 3/4's less hit points than the chest.

Its harder to hit someone in the head but if you do you have a good chance of killing them outright. see below

If someones chest hit points fall to 0 they are unconscious

If someones arm hit points drop to half they are only able to use 1 handed weapons and are at major modifiers for skills etc if both there arm hit points drop to zero they can not use there arms again until healed

If someones leg hit points drop to half they can only move half speed to everyone else and are at major modifiers for skills combat etc. If both legs are dropped to zero hit points then the subject cannot walk again until healed

If someones head hit points drop to 0 they are killed instantly

so therefor as you can see it takes longer to put someone down if your shooting them in the chest area but its the easiest area to hit while if you go for the head (a much much harder shot) if you hit them you have a chance of killing them outright

Any questions just ask

You should seriously consider it

eglon is a walking wall of muscley death, you did more damage again just by punching that mutant with your mutliator glove than you did shooting him In fact you did so much damage you'd have knocked him unconscious with one punch from the glove IE knocked all his hit points from his chest area in one punch.

the only thing is against low armored targets your a lethal raging drooling killing machine but against heavy armored targets you'll have a tough time dealing damage. its a trade off use guns against heavy armored targets use the glove against weaker targets.

Folks im still waiting on

Eglon, Roweeina and qwertz to post in the game turns thread before i can post the next turn

when ever you get the chance sometime this week, no rush
Cheers folks

Dont worry about it my man its all cool bananas.

People have stuff to do in real life i know, school, college, work and the messeyness that is real life gets in the way. thats what im here for tho a gentle poke every now and then to remind you that you need to post.

You'll all be happy to know i have an ending written for the game .... well to be more precise 6 of them. As the turns progress judging by what you all do i can narrow down and eliminate the ones that dont fit the current story as an example.

1 of them is a happy ending
1 of them is a scooby doo ending (had to right one just in case)
1 of them ... you all die

so there's no pressure like .....

That indeed is the question.

I suggest you take a vote or if you have the time to have a quick discussion about it as Thead cant really post her game turn until its decided what your going to do about it, also qwertz hasn't really answered ro'weeina's question yet on COMS either.

I do know qwertz is very busy at the moment with RL stuff college etc and we are in no rush to finish the game so we can wait until he and thaed are ready.. I say this because this game turn is quite important let me assure you of that. What Ro and qwertz do now may effect the entire outcome of the game. So please take your time i implore you.

if someone would super poke qwertz for me to check if he's still alive once i know that we can hold off until qwertz and thaed are ready.

In the mean time i'll think of a few things to keep you all on your toes I'll PM them to you over the next day or too.

Ok so if my understanding of the situation is correct its this:

Dont torture him:

Tobias
Calm

torture the hell outta him:

None

Undecided:
Eglon
Ro'weeina
Qwertz
Vigo


If Eglon and Vigo could post what they think you might have a clearer picture of what the squad wants. Qwertz isnt around at the mo so If the others could make a general decision majority rules could decide the killers fate.

k then thaed its ro'weeina's move what she gonna do?

Im in the middle of digging out the character generation template for queen-mise so chances are there will be a new player joining the squad pretty soon.

The new one better not be a human.

hmmm i dunno its the lesser of 2 evils really. what would be worse another human in the group or an touchy feely ebon healer.

Depends on what kind of character queen-mise wants to play.

A combat beat the crap out of everything kind of character

A stealthy sneaky scout / theify type character

A Magic type character (either healer or combat)

Or something else entirely.

Speaking of which forgot to mention this Queen-mise if your reading this, your more than welcome to start posting on the players chatroom (after all you'll need to get to know your current players / squad mates) but until you get your character sheet you cant post in the COMS Channel or Game turns Threads dont worry i'll be mailing that too you in bits and bobs over the next day or two and i'll let you know when you can post in what thread.

So thaed we about ready to rock then?

just need to know what Ro'weeina's going to do so i can post the next turn
