ARC Troopers OOC

[crazybirdman]

not sure what the initiative order is. I can shoot if that keeps things moving?

[swrider]

It is in range you can attack now.

As for intiative. I will update above. I keep forgetting. I am just goign to give the npc the frist slot (already gone) and the PCs all the follwoing slots.

[swrider]

Intiative tracker is now correct... sorry for the extreme delay.

[ThreeBFour]

Sorry for the delay on my part I meant to post Thursday, and forgot to do so.

[crazybirdman]

So Big10's means we can take one more shot?

[swrider]

As I understand it you can all take an immediate action for 1 strain. So yes.

[ThreeBFour]

@Swrider was Wook's Mechanic's roll ok? And if so how much System Strain was he able to repair?

[swrider]

Yes it is fine. What ever the standard is for that roll. But I don't recall the ship having taken any strain.

[crazybirdman]

are there more Vulture droids in range, or only that one left?
If it's only the one left, let Blast take it out.

[kanila]

Not sure what I can do. Angle the shields again? If I run the scanners could it give a boost to the next shooter?

[swrider]

This is a full on space battle there are numerous event groups within range.

@kanila that is fine feel free to do whatever you think your character would do. I will be easy with what I allow.

Acting on his commanders orders, Fuse fires another shot at the remaining Vulture droid...

Spoiler:

Fuse; Arc troopers; Gunnery-:
1 Success, 1 Advantage



Just making sure this is correct: Free action from deepspacer. 2 upgrades to gunnery check due to weapon upgrade, no aiming, and upgrade the skill check because of evasive manuevers

Nope. But it is close enought. You only get the second upgrade from the weapon system if you aim. It gives an upgrade and a boost. You also don't get an upgrade fro evasive maneuvers, in fact I think that makes attacks more difficult. The enemy fighters are being recklace and usign stay on target and that gives you an upgrade. For a total of two without aiming. Not a big deal though. this is supposed to be a turkey shoot.

I think I've just found the name of my next ship, Space Turkey although Gonzono works too....lol

[swrider]

I am going to progress the game on Monday. If there is anything you want to do before then please do so.

[crazybirdman]

So are we lining up on the railing and firing at droids as they approach, like a shooting gallery?

[swrider]

Pretty much... Except the socks shoot back.

[swrider]

So after some thought I am going to modify turns for this up coming encounter.

Each pc will have 5 actions and 5 maneuvers free on their slot. You may take up to 5 maneuvers for two strain ea. Grenades have extended range because you are firing from an elevated position +1 range band. Also you all get two boost dice automatically 1 for elevation and one for firing from a prone or kneeling position. Enemy take two corresponding setbacks on their attacks.

There will only be one or two rounds like this before heading to the next part of the story.

So...shoot five times each, basically?
Range to targets?

[ThreeBFour]

I like the concept.

[swrider]

Targets will be continually dropping in. It is up to you when you reveal your location . So max long min close. We are taking multiple transports full of droids so 50 to 100 aqua droids. There are also squid like assault droids that penetrate the buildings armor and unload droids inside. These dogs can also attack and have planetary scale weaponry. Their primary objective is dropping off attacking droids though.

[swrider]

Aldi because of the extreme number of droids I am taking a page from capital ship combat. Two threats on any player roll generates a hit from a Droid blaster at base damage.

Because of this I will only roll attacks on the npc turn for two minion groups instead of 10 to 30 groups.

[ThreeBFour]

I think for the start off this with Wook in a standing position, maybe shielded in a doorway? But because of his Strong Arm Talent he'll start by tossing grenades (up to long range), and Ice will probably hand off his own grenades to him.

[DeepSpacer]

BigTen has two ranks of Quick Strike and a rifle with a scope (reduce Long Range to ), so he'd attack quickly. He intends to do so. Should we just begin rolling? Roll one attack?

Prone adds +1 SB to their attacks. +1 SB due to our cover, too?
There is no Boost from firing from prone, btw.

What is the 5-attack thing? You want BigTen to roll 5x's? (Only the first gets Quick Strike)

[swrider]

Yeah basically take five rounds in one go. Quick strike can apply to all five. I am pretty sure they're is a boost in raw for shooting from prone. I'm out of town though and can't look it up right now.

[crazybirdman]

Do the droids have the 1st initiative slot?

For the PC's should we let blast go after Big 10 with his big gun, and then the grenades?
