Someone who's smarter than me: track down some drone rules so you can be our drone rules expert person.

For the time being, we're in good shape.

@Crispy:

Radar Sensor: This device emits ultrawideband and terahertz radar in short stepped-frequency pulses. An expert system analyzes the Doppler shift in the bounced signals and converts the information into a three-dimensional “map” that overlays (or replaces) the user’s visual senses, similar in some ways to ultrasound. The advantage to the radar sensor is that it can “see” through walls and other materials, which appear as translucent.
This system is excellent for detecting motion (even as slight as breathing), calculating exact distances, and allowing the character to visualize floorplans, locations of people, and placement of materials like weapons. It is unaffected by visual tricks like camouflage and Invisibility spells. It is unable to ascertain colors, lighting, or other visual features.The radar sensor uses the same Visibility modifiers as ultrasound. It can penetrate its rating x 5 of cumulative barrier Structure ratings (see p. 157, SR4). For example, a Rating 2 radar sensor could “see through” two Structure rating 5 walls. It can be used to detect weapons and cyberware on a person in the same way as millimeter wave radar (p. 255, SR4). Radar sensor cyberware has an effective Signal rating of 2 for determining the sensor’s range.
Radar sensors are vulnerable to jammers and jamming.

It's probably offline, still.

Can you also give us a breakdown on what Rolls the TacNet adds Dice to please ?

With all those bombings going down, I would be more worried about scanning/sniffing for explosives and such, not IDs.

I knew I should've upgraded Brian's nose.

It's probably offline, still.

nope it's just got an aerial view of Tatjana's Butt

so big you can see it from space... <ooooooooooooh>

Assensing the three persons:

Driver -> 6 hits
Woman -> 3 hits
Sleepyhead -> 5 hits

Hey Dak, what's the score with ID Scanners and the like in 2072 ? is there one on the guard post or is it all matrixey and stuff, thus goes over my head

116, was that our team on duty outside of the camp?

Casting Extended Low-Light Cryptesthesia (Note: I just noticed, that Chummer only included the non-Extended one, even though you can turn every Detection Spell into an Extended version of it, so Drain Value is 2 higher than listed; for some reason, when I changed from the original Extended Clairvoyance to this one, I missed that ).

( If you only want to use spells included in Chummer, I will simply change it back to Extended Clairvoyance. )

Judge Intentions on the driver of the truck to see if he's surprised by the gunfire: 5d6.hits(5) → [3,4,1,6,4] = (1)

I'm fine with any official material. I do want to avoid material that is fan created, or might be of dubious quality or balance. Where's this extended low light cryptesthesia from? [goes to look up what in the hell a cryptesthesia is]

Brian's running over to where the road takes a turn and takes cover behind the hood/trunk|bonnet/boot of the first car to the left of it on the map.

Edit: or like this

I assume 250m is enough to reach it?

Extended Low-Light Cryptesthesia F5 -> 4 hits - Drain 1S

In that case I'll have Brian run a bit farther and closer to the inner gate so we're spread out more. Should be about 50 meters to that area, give or take a bit; approximately 5 seconds.

Range: The standard sensory range for a Detection spell is the spell’s Force x Magic in meters. For extended range Detection spells, the effective range of the new sense is Force x Magic x 10 meters. Note that any of the standard range spells listed below may be learned with an extended range instead (adding +2 DV).

DETECTION SPELLS
Rules for Detection spells are provided on pp. 203–207, SR4A.
To turn any basic Detection spell into an Extended range version, increase the DV by +2. This increases the range of the sense to (Force x Magic x 10) meters.

Just to be certain, Nova is casting it to be located by the SUV out at the exterior gate, right?

"One of yous drop a call to Lancaster that there's trouble following, we followed procedure so it's their deal now! "

<< @ Morales {Hammer} Amigos, SITREP .. The beans aren't cooked yet Muchacho, no need for the rush Ese! >>

Dakka Fiend: but is the ammo exotic? We should hash out these kinds of questions...

High above the compound, a lens swivels and focuses on the SUV below. On ground level, a small round drone rolls over and points at the SUV.

Also, perhaps a design flaw in Camp Jaguar, the area immediately in front of the external gate is somewhat obscured from direct sight by you all. Those in the tower can make out some, the angle and line of sight allows them to see some of what's going on, but not everything.

phlapjack77, the first is your airborne drone, right? Just to make sure that we're on the same page, the SUV is on the outside of the external gate, which is still closed. Do you have a drone able to get out to that location?

Nova's spell helps a lot in this regard.

Anything about what she sees (in the car and around the car)?

Don't know if any of you are redditors.

Here's a link to someone's tale of what its like to be in combat. I'm sharing it here because its relative to our game, in a way.

http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeIAmA/co...ear_old/c8nm3e2

Inside are five people: a male ork, a female elf, two male humans and a female human. One of the male humans has a fair amount of blood on him, but he doesn't look like he's hurt. They all have weapons, and are wearing assorted military style garb- tactical vests and such. As Nova watches for a few seconds, the driver - the female elf - has rolled the window down and yells in Spanish at the guards on the external gate, "[Hey, open this fuckin' thing up man, hurry up, we don't got all day!]"

The ork sitting in the passenger seat grins and says in English "They spook easily. Who's on the second gate?" he pulls his comlink from his pocket and flips it open and begins to key it.
