Well if you are asking.... i would say we don't have a hacker so there is always a potential need for one... BUT since we are currently being swarmed by giant locusts.... anything that can tactical nuke an area would be great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

if you are going hacker, go hacker-lite

I really don't have anything in the game to challenge a hacker 100%,

the whole idea, well, my interpretation of "Low Intensity" is running without the need for covering all the bases.

every class has an equal opportunity to be digested ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

so the HW merc.. I have a picture of him forming now.. mwhwhaha. or the mage then. for the sake of non slowing down I have to forgo the rigger as I know the least about the rules for them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Well, I can fly high enough so they won't... but yeah, those astral bodies ain't very meaty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Bye
Thanee

IP2: Fly a little higher, just in case... and Stun Bolt on the next one (can't really do much else here).

Stun Bolt F9 -> 3 hits; no Drain

Bye
Thanee

Theres three distinct groups to choose,
On the locals,
Surrounding the hummer
Or milling around on other bodies,

Which do you prefer?

Ah well... I will help the locals, they are getting the worst of those critters right now.

Bye
Thanee

Crispy'll follow Murphy's suggestion and try to swing the humvee around to where the local's truck is, maybe pulling an "Aliens" and squishing a few bugs along the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(rolled with Edge up-front since my dp was so small)
8d6.hitsopen(5,6) → [3,[6, 5],4,3,5,1,4,5] = (4) hits

I'd vote for this char, with less attitude - already have one cocky sum-bitch on the team! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Isn't that true! Nova's attitude is just WAY over the top! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hehe - glad someone was able to read between the lines (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

well, Shotguns are officially crap vs big bugs
Hill-billies - Shooting (10d6.hits(5) =4, 10d6.hits(5) =3, 10d6.hits(5) =3, 10d6.hits(5) =5, 10d6.hits(5) =4, 10d6.hits(5) =2, 10d6.hits(5) =3, 10d6.hits(5) =3)
vs
bugs resistin' 5P + hits (12d6.hits(5) =3, 12d6.hits(5) =2, 12d6.hits(5) =5, 12d6.hits(5) =4, 12d6.hits(5) =5, 12d6.hits(5) =3, 12d6.hits(5) =2, 12d6.hits(5) =5)

there's some bits of carapace blasted but not a lot of damage,

they will also be out of ammo until turn 2 pass 2.

back round again as Nova has a third pass, I presume she mind blasts another one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'll add an IC as bugs fly from the bushes and land surrounding the vehicles

hummer resist mines 'asplodin' 20P reduced by range and drive roll
(20d6.hits(5) =12)

Crispy got 4 hits so damage is reduced to 16P
resulting in 4P to the front of the hummer

occupants

roll REA minus 2 (if you are not astral)
then
resist 4P minus net hits from REA
you get the benefit of the vehicles extra 8 armor on top of your own impact armor
no AP.

before I get a million PM's about how it should work, I get that it's probably not 100% how the book has it,
it's cinematic !!

so nerr nerr neh nerr nerr ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

PASS THREE AWAY

Yep. Her Options are a little thin there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Plus... it works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Stun Bolt F9 -> 3 hits; no Drain

Bye
Thanee

I just wanted to get in there in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ic.gif) that you are aware your physical body is taking a battering.

and that the odds are slowly stacking against you ...

you have 4 passes in Astral btw ?

if so, I think we're nearly done,

post that and IP 1 of round 2, then the bugs can go .

the rest of team can put up what you want to do in the next round

so, gemlin is out, do we want the merc that likes things big and loud (WOOOOOOO MISSILE LAUNCHERS!!!!))))

or the mage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

REA: 1 hit
Resist 3P: 8 vehicle armor + 7 impact armor + 5 Body = 10 hits


Hmmm...humvee has sputtered and died, Crispy's stuck inside with the enemy all around...hope he doesn't have to go out like Gorman (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Quick "memory" check: 4 hits
I think that's good enough for Crispy to remember that the bugs seemed to really dislike the bright lights? Makes sense too, they're out at night...

So he'll ready some flashbangs to toss if he feels like he needs to get out of the vehicle or to help people out as he sees fit...

Only 3 IP in Astral.

And yeah, I'm certainly aware, that she is still in the hummer. But from in there, I cannot really do much, so...

Bye
Thanee

you land on Nova as the airbags deploy

it may yet live, with some encouragement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

perfect,

back to the top for Pass 1, round 2

Thanee post away, same for everyone else.
I'll add bugs and hillbillies in accordingly, in some kind of Deliverance meets Starship Troopers mish-mash of awesomeness

HEY! Where is that detailed battle map you promised us the other day? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

IP-1: Round 2

Aiming for a bug on or near Pa. Take Aim as a free action. If the first shot drops the critter then next shot will be at a different critter, closest to one of the locals.

First Shot (Short Narrow Burst): First Shot (aimed) (19d6.hits(5)=7) Oppose 7 hits; Resist 9P+net hits (-2AP)

Second Shot (Short Narrow Burst): Second Shot (18d6.hits(5)=9) Oppose 9 hits; Resist 9P+net hits (-2AP)

each shot is enough to obliterate a bug,

Two down, more... many more .. to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

YOU MEAN THIS ONE ?

OMG i love the "Half of Sanchez" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm half tempted to have him rescued by a mad scientist and be made better, faster, stronger (For Science!) and bring him in as a main end of level boss ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Him, Brian, Longshot AND Stitch ! ... omg I just had a necro-gasm !
