Living in the Shadows: OOC, never relax... Options

[Sedna]

I'm not thrilled about ice ... when it's falling from the sky ... in May [/soaked]

[banditf50]

Hey everyone. I have just walked in the door upon returning from my trip to St. Louis, it was great!

It is almost 11pm (my time) and I have an 8am meeting tomorow morning so I am going to unpack, catch up on lab-related email, and then head to bed.

List of things I will post tomorrow:
-Two weeks worth of karma awards for Moirdryd and Cedric.
-The results of Cedric's 'dumb-luck' roll.
-A post for Knight in his conversation with Cao Jaan.
-A post regarding the current skirmish in Puyallup if the action has come to Virgil by then.

Good night and happy hunting everyone.

Shadow- Glad to see your game is up! I'll link you in to the main IC and OOC threads as soon as I can.

Sedna- Recoil is calculated per burst (or given action, to use your terminology) See pg. 110-111 SR3 if necessary. For your convenience, since we rarely actually have the books in front of us while posting, it specifically states:

[grendel]

No control pool for manual gunnery. Combat pool, though, is fair game as long as the rigger is jumped into the vehicle or drone.

[Sedna]

Thanks, both. Will edit this post for more commentary when I get a bit more time in a couple of hours ... but I figured I should probably get one post in for my PC this week ;)

Editing:

Huh. BBB is very specific here (p.108):

[Sedna]

[grendel]

It's not full-on until you're using sensor enhanced gunnery.

[WinterRat1]

Gee thanks Grendel. :S

[Sedna]

Sentinel, when I ask you to make a surprise check, that means your action freezes until you make it.

Please make it now. The results may well override what you just wrote.

[WinterRat1]

And this is why I save my Combat Pool Dice.

TN to resist:
HK Base: 7M
w/BF mod: 10S

Armor Jacket: 5
FFBA L.3 (halved for layering): 2
Cyber/Bio Additions: 2
Total Ballistic Rating: 9

TN = 10-9 = 1, raised to 2, minimum

Burst 1: Body + 4 CP = 08 08 05 04 04 03 03 02 02 02 01 = 10 successes
Burst 2: Body + 3 CP = 13 09 05 05 05 04 03 03 03 01 = 9 successes

Burst 1 Result: 10 successes – 3 (to negate drone successes) –2 (stage S to M) –2 (stage M to L) –2 (stage L to nothing) = 1 success left over; no damage

Burst 2 Result: 9 successes – 2 (to negate drone successes) –2 (stage S to M) –2 (stage M to L) –2 (stage L to nothing) = 1 success left over; no damage

Initiative?

Okay, peoples. Probably about twenty posts are missing all told, some of them key turning points. I've gotten past the SHIT!!!! reaction, mostly. I'm begging Neuron Basher for help to find what can be found of them. I'll be searching a cache that hopefully hasn't been emptied yet tomorrow. (It's a shared computer, they're quick to empty the caches.) But it might be that they're gone permanently.

If you don't mind, I'm a bit tired just now, and still feeling a bit sick. You guys don't really mind if I wait until tomorrow to re-resolve and re-write a couple of things, just in case posts can't be found?

I'll do this much from memory:

WinterRat: knockback check. You took a lot of ammo. The two women were just clear of missile blast range. An involuntary step back will trip you over Tiffany and Sybersnake, possibly making you fall, certainly making you stumble back within missile blast range. (Power level - 8 ). If you fail completely, you've stumbled all the way back against the car: which means you resist 16D when the missile comes in. Once you're done resolving that, we're into next initiative, please roll it.

Sentinel: you're seriously surprised. From you, I'll need a WL (only) roll (resisting magic without spell pool or sorcery); a BD (only) roll (resisting 9S stun damage, it refers to something I'd written before); and an initiative roll for this round. If you roll less than 10 base (not net), please also roll initiative for the next round.

Frag it!

[Moirdryd]

OOOPs forgot to make that Etiquette roll here goes....

Etiquette; 10, 4, 3

[grendel]

Also, re: Movement and penalties, WinterRat is correct in that movement modifiers apply only to the actions a character takes during his or her phase. (Combat turn is the overall three seconds, initiative pass is the first count starting from highest to lowest, initiative phase is individual count within that particular pass.) So, a character could, conceivably, be running during his phase in the first pass, walking during his phase in the second pass, and standing still during his phase in the third pass. He would suffer the appropriate modifiers to those actions taken during his individual pass, i.e. during his first pass when he was running the two simple/one complex action would suffer +4/+6 as appropriate.

It's convenient to think of movement (running, walking, standing still) as a difference in modifiers rather than a distance, since distance is determined based on the total number of passes during a combat turn.

Also, I might hesitate to say that any character in a combat situation is 'motionless'. Even those that are technically standing still could still be shifting in position, turning to perceive the battlefield, etc. I'd only apply the motionless target modifier to those characters who are attempting not to move: aiming, hiding, etc.

[WinterRat1]

Sedna- I didn't even get hurt, so I assumed a minimum of 1 success would assure I do not get knocked back/down, since at a Light wound I would need 2 successes not to get knocked down, and 1 success to make sure I am not knocked back, so I reduced it to 1/0.

Body test, TN of half power (5): 13 11 05 04 03 02 01 = 3 successes, nothing happens, I successfully stand and take it.

Anyway, it's moot I guess when looking at the Body test, just my thinking on the matter.

[Scrapheap]

WinterRat-
You can obviously ignore most of the PM I just sent!

[Sedna]

I have the missing posts! Just give me half an hour or so to get them up. Oh, and anything not in what I post now -- and I think there are one or two -- is permanently awol. Still, it's much better than we had.

Scrapheap: use or ignore, as you see fit. (I honestly can't remember if any of yours were among them.)

Edit: went fully through the file: there's still more than one or two missing posts that I remember reading. Sorry. Any specific major post that I've got to try to find? There's still one last chance, but it's not a good one.

[Scrapheap]

Sedna-
All of mine were present, so no worries.

Good work!

[WinterRat1]

Sedna- I'm good also

Scrapheap- I know what Megan said before and what they're saying now. It is intentional, just fyi, you can make of it what you will. It was not an error on my part, just so you know.

Already posted this above, here you go again so you don't have to hunt for it, you've done enough hunting for one day:

[Shadowrunner13]

[WinterRat1]

SR13- My reply to you was also lost in the void it seems.

Grendel, Shadow, SR13- You only post in a run related thread anything that is directly or indirectly related to the run itself. Everything else continues as normal in the main IC thread. Therefore, Grendel and Shadow will coordinate with each other to determine the point at which you ‘cross the line’ into run-related material, and will tell you the appropriate time to begin posting in the run thread.

IIRC, Shadow posted that it was determined between him and Grendel when you arrive at the florist shop, you will be in the run related material, and at that point, would begin posting in that run thread. Am I correct on this Shadow?

If anyone has any further questions, please ask and feel free to refer to Salvation for an example of how this works. Hope that helps clear things up for everyone!
