According to SR4 p. 143+, only a full burst (more then 6 shots) would be a complex action, a Long burst (6 shots) can only be done in full auto mode, but only takes up a simple action. Only one long burst can be fired in a single IP, but with another simple action (befor or after), an aditional standard (3 round) burst can be fired, the recoil for the second burst is -6.
So Toy can do an additionell similar burst, but only with 3 rounds (DV 3 less) and with one less die, due to recoil. I would not use Edge (keeping it for the next long burst or what ever). |
Well, maybe I'd better do that in this situation.
So, would I just roll agility plus firearms? Is this affected by recoil? What would be the formula.

I ticked us ahead a tiny bit by editing the last post. I hit a wall of sorts, however, when it comes to the VR stuff. First off, Electron Storm doesn't work against nodes, only icons. To do much of anything, you guys will need to hack either of the two head commlinks which both have firewall 5.
Also, you guys controlling the dobermans should probably go ahead and make some rolls. There are currently three large trolls with axes headed for the doors.
Also, I'd appreciate if Auran narrowed down his target
There are lots of heavily armed trolls.

IIRC (can anyone double-check?) Youīd roll the following.
CODE |
Agility 7 + Firearms 1 + Lasersight 1 + Home Ground 2 - Recoil 2 (6 - Gasvent III & Shockpad) = 8 |
This is 8P/-1 base (8 boxes physical damage (6 base +2 because of 3 Roound burst)/ Armor -1).
You can increas your base Damage, by sacreficing dice (1 box / die; max. 4) in any attack (but I wonīt do so, here).
Instead of increasing damage, you are generally abled to shoot spray bursts, which decreas the defenders dodge pool (but with these Trolls, I guess damage is more use).
EDIT:
@ TG & GM & Rokur
IIRC, Auran is going for the Troll with the AK (or are there actually more then one?), as this seems to be the most heaviely armed.

@ Wounded Ronin (again

The next thing you want to know is probably, how to die ... Ehr, I mean, dodge and resist damage
To Dodge in ranged combat, you only use
The Dodge Skill or Gymnastics is only used, when using an action to dodge.
If the attacker has less successes, then you, he doesnīt hit at all, otherwise, the damage (DV) is increased by 1 / netto hit.
For damage resistance, you roll
CODE |
Body 4 + Ballistics 8 + attacks AP (-1) = 11 dice |
Each hit reduces the damage by 1 box.
If the Armor (AP applyed) had been higher then the DV to resist (base + net-hits), the damage would have been converted to stun (sadly, this is not the case).

Drone Combat:
The drones are going for fire across the bikes trying to do as much damage as possible. The 3 on-comming will probably get the brunt of the attacks, with the following bullets leading along the line of bikes.
Each drone is smartlinked, but electrode's not rig-controlling any of them, so we're relying on their pilors and autosofts to fire...
Drone 1 firing Remington 990 w/ Flechettes (9P/+2) SA fire mode
CODE |
Pilot (3) + Targeting (3) = 6 dice 2 [5] 4 2 [6] 3 Hits:2 |
CODE |
Pilot (3) + Targeting (3) + Recoil (-1) = 5 dice 3 2 [5] [6] [5] Hits:3 |
Drone 2 firing AK 97 w/ regular bullets (6P/-1) laying down cover fire
CODE |
Pilot (3) + Targeting (3) = 6 dice [6] [6] 4 [5] 1 2 Hits:3 |
For my VR Attack run, my Sprite and I are going to hack those commlinks:
CODE |
Hacking (2) + Exploit (3) = 5 dice 1 [5] [5] [5] 2 Hits:3 |
Treading the form to crack the firewall:

@ TG & GM
Since the Spirits are materialized, shouldnīt we be abled to see, what kind they are on a casual look? This would be interesting!
Following gare the attack-rolles of the Spirit of Man and the 3 Watchers against the Spirit attacking Shade. All of them will hold thair action, to attack at the same Init Score (I wonīt bother to roll Ini for all the Watchers, since the range from 2-4 is slower, then anyone else, anyway, I can roll later, if it becomes necessary).
I donīt know if Shade will allready count as a friend in combat, but if the Spirit attacks him in meele, I think he should (he will return the favour next IP), if he doesnīt yet, just ignote the last die rolled.
Bean (Watcher #1)
CODE |
Will (1) + Astral Combat (1) + Friends in Combat (4) = 6 dice [5] 4 4 2 2 1 Hits:1 |
Thatīs probably no hit, if it is, the base is 1S (so, max. 2s, if it hits)
Peanut (Watcher #2)
CODE |
Will (1) + Astral Combat (1) + Friends in Combat (4) = 6 dice [5] 1 [5] [5] [5] 4 Hits:4 |
Wow, that looks much better, base 1S (max. 5S)
Pumpkin (Watcher #3)
CODE |
Will (1) + Astral Combat (1) + Friends in Combat (4) = 6 dice 1 3 [6] [5] 3 3 Hits:2 |
may hit, base 1S (max. 3S)
Grandpa (F2 Spirit of Man)
CODE |
Will (2) + Astral Combat (2) + Friends in Combat (4) = 8 dice [6] [6] 1 [6] 3 4 [5] 2 Hits:4 |
Yay, base 1S again (max. 5S)
Mass instead of class, thats gang-style
. So, this might actually do some damage, at least it should distract the Spirit. Shade counting for FiC or not, doesnīt metter, with these rolls.
The spirit allso gets a -1 malus to Parry for each subsequent attack after the first, it dodges, right?

May 2 2006, 01:05 AM
To get through the combat turns faster, we need to maybe plan ahead the actions to get the rolls in, so TG can tell us the resolution of the important points, and then we can post and act accordingly.
e.g. China Doll in subsequent combat turns is going tomove from the lounge to her bike in the auditorium, meanwhile working out how to get her team together for the run with the Felix's package. This will take a couple combat turns, and the only thing that matters is whether or not the trolls make it through the front doors.
For some other PC there is a lot more resoluton to go through, especially all the exchanges of fire, and it might help to do something like PC X fires a short burst from cover on the roof until PC X takes a wound and then PC X runs.
Until then, there may be pages and pages of flashbacks to sunnier days in the gang.

Ok then... if this is how we would want it....Here are Auran's actions for IP 2.... if wounded over 6P of damage, then she will spend her edge to go ASAP during IP2..., fire twice and start moving away from the windows.....
Auran's second IP action =
Free Action = Call shot Increase DV by 4
Simple Action 1 = Firing with right Ruger again @ AK guy (if standing).
CODE |
Revolvers (6) + Agility (8) + Home Ground (2) + Laser Sight (1) + Firing From Cover (-1) + Called Shot (-4) = 12 dice 4,[5],[5],4,4,1,[5],[5],[6],3,1,4 = 5 hits |
That is base 10S(e) -half Impact AP....
Simple Action 2 = Firing with left ruger again @ AK guy(if standing).
CODE |
Revolvers (6) + Agility (8) + Home Ground (2) + Laser Sight (1) + Firing from cover (-1) + unmodified recoil (-1) = 15 dice 1,[5],1,[5],1,2,2,[6],[5],4,2,1,[5],[5], 2 = 6 hits |
That is base 6S(e) -half Impact AP
Also, if the AK guy falls any non-shielded mages next, then wounded mages target 3....
Also, don't forget that shooting electric ammo can cause siezure-like stunning effects (taser effect.) We'll take any bonus we can get at this point

Thanks for keeping me covered! I'll make those dice rolls that you recommended.
Dodge test, 5 dice:
Looks like 1 hit. I dunno if that lets me bend backwards like Neo or not so I'll go ahead and roll damage resistance, 11 dice as you specified.
I see 3 hits. Should I use edge?
Thanks for all the help!
Rokur
May 2 2006, 02:37 AM
Ok... edge would be your call but right now, you're taking 8 physical damage from that first shot... also you have to roll dodge and resistance for the second shot as well....
If you used edge on your reaction test, I'd suggest spending one edge to roll your edge attribute, and explode your 6s.... then you subtract however many hits you get from the 8P damage already... if you get 3 more hits on reaction then you negate the attack (grazing shot)
On the damage resistance, you can spend edge to reroll misses or roll your edge attribute. (you can only explode 6s after rolls where you roll edge attribute, not on re-roll of misses) each hit again lowers said 8P damage by 1 per hit.... also, both of these edge uses would be cumulative, but that is your call on how much edge to spent... IIRC you have 5 left as of now....
Important reminder: Whatever you do, you also have to roll reaction and damage resistance again... unfortunately you got shot twice by an AK.....

OK, so I probably should use edge.
I can use edge once per roll, once for the dodge and once for the damage resist? Is that correct?
And if so, given that I have 5 edge left so far, how many dice shall I roll in order to do this? 5 and then 4?

2nd you probably did, but Iīll ask anyway. Did you account for the Errata, when calculating these spirits reaction score? Itīs not F * X, but F + X for all spirits (Ini allso changes accordingly). Allso, does the spirit get -1 die for every subsequent attack, it parries simultaneously, or does that only apply to full dodge/parry?
3rd here are the parry and resistance for the Spirit and Shade.
Gramga (F2 Spirit of Man) Passive Parry
CODE |
Willpower (2) + Astral Combat (2) = 4 dice [5] 4 4 2 Hits:1 |
2 hits come through, so itīs 5(S or P?) to resist. BTW, as you expressed some insecurety, what the base DV should be, itīs F/2 in astral combat.
Grampa saying 'Owah'
CODE |
Astral Body (2) = 2 dice 2 [5] Hits:1 |

Shade using passive parry (donīt think, that Tai Chi Spec applies to parry, if it dos, Iīll roll it afterwards)

Also, not to put a damper on this... but I want to remind you that you have to roll Reaction and Resistance all over again for the second shot as well....
Now when you do these, and want your edge to work overtime (which you may want to do to stay alive....)
you can add edge attribute as a "combat pool" to your dice roll.... you can spend 1 edge each on the reaction and the resistance rolls...
If you do decide to do this... all 6s rolled explode.
