Ok, the players I like to play with like to try and help each other out a lot on things they do, and other then teacher help I can't find any rule that allows players to aid one another in a roll. Is there such a creature? and if so what book and page. Im just not finding it.

Teamwork Tests: SR4A Page 65.

Wow thanks, man I must be blind.

So if I get this right. if someone has a skill rating of three and scores four hits, the other player can only get a +3 to his dice?

"Only" is a lot. Every little bit helps.

you been talking to my wife?

No. Just had a lot of games turn at major turning points due to "Just one extra die", or "One more bonus" that the GM didn't just hand us to keep the story along.

I love that. But I haven't yet experienced the same. after all, you're supposed to be a team. tarting chars might not have a useful second expertise to help the expert in the team. but in a longer campaign, everybody will. And the chars got to know each other IP and trust each other.
M next char will be a jack of all trades offering everybody assistance...hm, maybe the braggart flaw?

If someone could provide clarification to the following example please.

Three characters with skill 2 attempt to assist the primary character with skill 3.

Is the total amount of Assist dice available if the hits are scored on the primary character

A = 3 characters with 2 hits each = + 6 dice to primary character ( capped at assisting character skill)

Or

B = 3 characters with 2 hits each = +3 dice to primary character ( capped at Primary skill)

The group I play in has been using method B....

Thanks,

IronDrakon

my interpretation is B

Agreed.

B

It's right where CanRay said it is.

Thanks,

Thats the way I thought it was, Some posts on these forums seemed to indicate way A might have it.


Thanks for the feedback
