The turn is still teh same amount of time wether you go 1 time or 4. So it is an advantage. Just not the insane advantage the old way was.

Just tossing in my two cents, it's still monstrous, just not unstoppable. In 2nd ed, you could die without ever having a chance to do anything. Heck, you could literally kill someone like 8 times before they got to go. This time around, you just have to do things a little different, like killing them all after they have made their futile attempts to resist you. :)
And Cedric, the way it works is that everyone goes once, highest initiative to lowest. Subtract 10, everyone who is still above 0 (i.e. 1 or greater) goes again, highest to lowest. Repeat until no one has an initiative score above 0. So it's not extra actions after the other guys run out, it just happened that way in this particular combat. Does that make sense? |

I understand how it works, I've just always played 2ed and am used to the old way. It just means that my character has to play differently, like take cover for the first action then wait for everyone to run out of initiative then pop up and shoot them after they are at zero. It means that instead of being able to kill them before they hurt me now I'm actually going to have to be able to resist or avoid damage. And Bandit, I like being a speed freak, that's what being a street sam is all about. :)

Soaky Shadow Tenmou and Erebus have been getting acquainted. Tenmou, I'm waiting for a response from you, my last post was unclear.
Shadow, Erebus snapped a photo, or attempted to, of the florist. I wanted to make sure that you had a chance to post concerning that if you wanted to, SR13 and I have posted a couple times since then and didn't want it to get lost. |

Shadow, appreciate the reply on the photo.
I put in a converstation with Tenmou some directions concerning the location of the Spagettii Palace based upon the prior description given to Tenmou. Erebus drove by the place during the day I had while catching up timelines. I think I got the direction right but if I've oriented the building wrong then let me know and I'll correct the compass points. |

Sorry for lack of posting, but I am down with the flu. It's real bad so give me a couple of more days to get my energy back.

So let me get this straight. You're basically sitting at home all day lying around, and you don't have time to post? How does that work? You should be posting even more, since you have all this free time right now! :grinbig:

Sorry about the silence... I injured my left hand (borken glass + klutz = stitches), so typing is a bit of a chore.
I will post ASAP. SR13 |

It is open, lights are on and there are customers in the place. Please refrain from going in, I am trying to set something up and I need a little time to do it.
