Rising Young Gangsters, OOC Options

[Oenone]

So Alexei and Mya are in hand to hand, giving a +1 bonus? And Carson should hopefully be taking the multiple defences penalty. Lets hope this battle starts to turn in our favor!

[estradling]

Just to confirm that I am thinking correctly... Gres took 12 boxes of Stun which overflowed into 2 boxes of physical. Now he was healed three boxes of stun which brings him around. This leaves him 7 stun and 2 physical for a -3 dice from wounds.

[Karaden]

does being jumped in with a rig count as being in full VR for IP passes? I just want to know for future reference

Yes, I'm fairly certain it does.

@Oenone Yes, Alexie and Mya should be getting the +1 to attack for having friends in melee, and Carson has been taking his proper penalties.

@estralding. Correct on the boxes part, but only a -3 wound penalty from what I see (0 from physical, 2 from stun)

[Oenone]

and Carson has been taking his proper penalties.

I suspected as much, I mentioned it more in a 'motivational posting' sort of way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Uhmmm those numbers don't match (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Oenone]

Alexei should, by my reckoning have taken 3 boxes of physical damage from that punch, right?

(And boy am I so glad that defence roll came up high, because those punches are really really nasty and could potentially leave someone dead in one hit!)

[Karaden]

Wow, very lucky roll. Yes 3 boxes sounds correct. Though in the future the friends in melee bonus counts only towards your attacks, not to your defense.

[Oenone]

Actually according to this bit on P. 147 "Defenders apply dice pool modifiers according to the Defense Modifiers Table (p. 150). Some modifiers from the Melee Modifiers Table (p. 148) may apply to the defender as well."

It implies they do as the table on P. 148 is the same one which includes friends in melee, basically that table is for things which (edited in) can (edited in finishes) affect both attack and defence. But if you'd rather run with it being attacking only then sure thing!

[Karaden]

I run it as being only attack for two reasons. One, it gives a double benifit/penelty for being outnumbered (And you really don't want me doing that to you) and two, the fact that the table includes either a) things that apply only to the attacker or b) things that apply to virtually every circumstance.

[Oenone]

Fair enough! I'll keep that in mind for future combats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It would have made a lot more sense if the table actually mentioned which applied to attackers only and which could apply to both. But then I think the one area Shadowrun 4th edition has had problems with is weird editing, like how some of the BBB's drugs only get a price listed for them in Arsenal......

[Oenone]

Sorry for the double post, but what (if any) roll is required to go through Carsons pockets?

He owes Alexei some lunch money.....

[Karaden]

No roll required as he isn't conscious at the moment. I'll post findings in IC

[Little Johnson]

How good would the face have to be to convince carson he just got jumped in to the gang and hes now one of us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

any mojo that would make him think thats what happened? hes not too bright.

[Karaden]

While his brightness does indeed rank somewhere around 'burned out light bulb' he isn't going to just suddenly start thinking he is one of your gang members. All you'd likely manage to do is confuse him (really not difficult) and/or make him mad.

[Mickle5125]

Lou has mind control powers... but I'm not overly eager to have him use them because of the whole "what happens when it wears off" problem...

I'm actually planning on putting some effort into making Carson choose to side with us...

[Little Johnson]

my bad.. im not the best at writen communication. The face thing was a joke im just not good at getting things accross some times.

I think our best bet is with his little buddy.

[Oenone]

Lunch was probably worth less than 10 nuyen I suspect? Guess this means Alexei treats himself to something special for a change.

Edit- And what happened to the guy with the taser? Did he run for it? Or is he one of the new recruits / members of the other gang?

[Mickle5125]

he's one o' the new recruits.

[Oenone]

Am I right in assuming we're waiting on the results of where Carsons friend is and why?

Also how fast does the news spread? (Is it the talk of the school? And indeed how are students and teachers treating us?)

[Karaden]

I thought someone hadn't posted yet. I'll go double check and if everyone has posted recently I'll do a bit of a scene advance.

[Little Johnson]

Tink will fire up his rote drone and 2 dobermans to take with him to the meet after school.

[Oenone]

How're we looking in terms of wounds now? Healed up?

If not then is anyone in the party able to do first aid? As Alexei took I think 3P from Carson which probably won't heal up by the end of the day. So whatever magic can be thrown at it would be handy. (Especially as with a crowd that big if they're not all friendly we're in trouble)

[Karaden]

I'll let you guys post anything special you've done during the day. I'll count classes as resting for Gres so he can make 4 Body + Willpower checks to reduce his stun. He can also cast the healing spell on himself and any other injured (If the healing spell works that way, don't feel like looking it up) prior to or after doing those checks at his discretion.

[estradling]

Gres's stun healing rolls6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=3, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=3 9 boxes of stun healed by the end of school


Gres Healing himself after school 9d6.hits(5)=3 All phyiscal healed

Drain 8d6.hits(5)=2 No drain

[Mickle5125]

Doing just a little patchwork on Carson.
