Fedora might be getting a ride to solo's pad as well. But he won't be at the stakeout with yazata and ambalo.

Heads up, save weekends my net status is unknown for the next three weeks. I'll be posting as is possible.

@Digital Heroin, harsh but keep plugging away.
You seem to be playing the strong silent type anyway, like a Samurai Silent Bob. [ Spoiler ] I'm back in the UK now so I'll try to pick up the pace. |

Eesh, I remember having rather sparse net access for a year. Unpleasant.

Ezeckial, I think those thanks from Fedora belong to Afrika, not Yazata? Yazata is off in space looking at sewers, not healing.

Everyone, I would like to get feedback about different combat handling for increased speed. I've found PbP games bog down in the combat section. My proposal: for everyone's IP, they roll for every action they take and any potential consequence. For example, say one fires a narrow burst at an enemy corp sec. In addition to rolling for hits, also roll for damage. If the hit are less than the enemy's defense roll, then the damage roll is ignored. However if the defense fails, then I'll take the damage roll and apply it. Now damage calculations do have modifiers, but I'll make modification post-roll.
What's your feedback? |

Sounds decent, although IIRC, damage is calculated based on the number of net hits. So Base DV+net hits=Total DV to resist. |

What about the following format:
Number of hits (as a link to the Invisible Castle dice roll) : Base Damage : Fire type modifiers to DV (eg. burst) This way budoka05 can deal with REA+Dodge and ItNW easily from the info and calculate the final DV based on whatever modifiers he knows about that we don't. Here's an example: 4 HITS : 7DV : +3DV burst In this example, a Force 6 Shedim blows its REA and gets no hits, so the damage would be 11DV plus 3DV for burst, but the ItNW counts only the 11 DV, and so the Shedim shrugs off the 11DV. EDIT: As an aside, this demonstrates that burst bonuses sometimes are better used to reduce the opponent's REA+Dodge pool, rather than try to raise the DV. I guess that should be explicitly stated when the shot is taken. |

I'm here! I'll post more hacking stuff shortly, but I didn't want to have 2 back to back walls of text.
If no one else posts though I'll write the exploit and make the rolls for the decrypting. |

I've been checking for responses on how to do the rolls. While I shall wait for more responses on that, I will move the crusade along!

I guess that should be explicitly stated when the shot is taken. This sounded pretty good to me. You would have to remember to specify 'narrow' or 'wide' with any burst fire but otherwise concise and to the point. |

I agree, that format seems good. Should probably include any armor pen or if your using special ammo as well however.

Ah, good point about the ammo... AP mods, nuclear explosive, etc. Glitches etc. would show in the dice roll itself, right?
So: HITS : base DV : ammo mods : other (eg. burst mods) How does that look? |

I'm quiet here because I'm not sure where I sit right now. I'm feeling a bit directionless... and part of me is going "I made a ninja with a rocket suit? What was I on?" Not giving up, just lost a bit...
As for the dice simplification, I dig the proposal that's up so far. Seems simple enough to roll with. |

Budoka05, I assume from Ghoster's response that one of each of the magical materials showed up. Is that correct?

That is correct. When the spirit that initially approached your character showed up, it brought the supplies.
