So my wired Samurai, with Reaction 13, gets a call to rush to the aid of the team.
Jumping in his Eurocar Westwind (Handling 3), in the Alley behind his house (Tight Terrain +3), on one of those rare Seattle days where it's raining hard (Bad Weather +2), he quickly starts the engine and tries to step on the gas. Since this is urgent but not critical, the GM assigns a Stressful Situation penalty of +0 to the test. The TN for his accelleration test before defaulting to Reaction appears to be 8. Therefore he's unable to default to Reaction (Limits on Defaulting, SR3 p. 85). Therefore he can't move the car. Apparently he either has to wait for the rain to let up, or drive to the Stuffer Shack for a Pepsi before going to the aid of his team. |
