The Second Forumised SLA Industries BPN

Post by **Dog Pants** » May 14th, 2009, 11:23

Ah shit, bitten in the ass by my own penetration rules. I keep forgetting I put those in. Well spotted Grim, I'll probably need reminding a few more times before I get the hang of it.

The reason they're there by the way is to take the emphasis off DAM and make PEN more useful. Using standard rules you were better with high damage rounds regardless of PEN, because the PEN was treated just like damage but without the actual damage capability. With the new rules it pays to be able to actually penetrate the armour, but unfortunately makes most firearms less effective.

Phew, was worried my investment in heavy armour was for nothing.
So, torso hitpoints as 14 - 1 and torso armour as 35 - 2 is correct?

Post by **Dog Pants** » May 14th, 2009, 11:43

Yep, sorry about that.

*makes notes that the same will apply to the bad guys' armour*

So, 2 then?

Melee will likely be the first significant action, and the guy pokes Kt'rr with his sharp pointy arm-blade:

16 +10 (skill), +1 (natural weapon) = 27

That's 4 PEN, 14 DAM, 2 AD to your torso. Ouchie.

I get tense when I'm in combat.

Jesus! Are we still on phase 1?

If so, Spindle brings to bear(sp?)

Also Deej, I think you might have to take a Shock test to see if you are still standing after the first shot you took, let alone get to round 4...

curse my shitty armor you are correct. however, unless I roll snake eyes I will be fine.

PHYS - 1: 10, 6 + 10 = 26

how far from cover am I?

Get a loan already

Post by **deject** » May 14th, 2009, 15:40

Well I was wanting to spend 3000c to get some really fancy stuff. I guess I'll be buying some Powercell after this though. When I'm taking full damage from 10mm there's something wrong. I'll be taking out a pretty big loan.

Ouchie? With those PEN rules and my armour? I think not! That works out as 2 damage to me, and no wounds

oooh, DP, What if I dived and went prone? would I still be able to see the guy with the AR?

We're on 2 now, but you can have brought to bear on 1. You'd risk hitting the big 'uns up front if you fired from where you are though.

Only a couple of meters. You could dive out of sight of the doorway in a phase.

I think you'll find that particular rule is titled 'Bullet Penetration'. Melee is as normal, meaning you take 6 damage, no wounds.

You'll have to shove most of the rest of the squad out of the way first. Say there's two people between you and the bad guy, you can make an unarmed roll against each and attack on the phase after those (which will be 4).

deject wrote:oooh, DP, What if I dived and went prone? would I still be able to see the guy with the AR?

Nope, you'd be able to see lots of legs.

Crikey, my intercocks go down for a few hours and all hell breaks loose.

Unarmed...

...d'oh

1 - 2+3+6 = 11
2 - 2+8+9 = 19 thats gona be a pain later when I want a good roll later

Post by **Dog Pants** » May 14th, 2009, 18:33

Any preference to who it is you're shoving? First choices are Deject or Phoebe, second choices are Grimmie or Kt'rr.

Post by **deject** » May 14th, 2009, 18:43

Will Eraser shoving me affect my burst? I think I will dive for cover on 3, so I can pump some Kick Start +. I get the feeling the guy with the AR is going to fire another burst.

The Shutting Downs · Post by **The Shutting Downs** » May 14th, 2009, 18:46

Will shoe Deject as he is in the doorway, and Cutter is mahoosive.

Post by **Dog Pants** » May 14th, 2009, 18:55

Ah, getting my order confused. Eraser's shove won't affect your shot because he's shoving Grimmie or Phoebe on 2. I'm losing track of who's doing what, so one phase at a time please.

Phase 2 -
Ebb
Movement
Melee - KM vet attacks Kt'rr, Eraser shoves grim or Phoebe
Firing
Others
