Savage Worlds Rifts [OOC]

Also, my new understanding is that I need to do over 21 mega-damage in a hit in order to penetrate their hides. Is that about right? I was thinking it was 9, since that was the MDC rating they had.

 

[GreenKarl]

Oh ok sorry for my confusion. So Dawn still have 3 wounds... got yea. Ignore the raise then (even though I only rolled a 1)

 

[GreenKarl]

There Toughness is 21 (9 M.D.S.), which means that you need to roll a 21 to do damage to them as the Pump Pistol does not have any AP. With twin Psi-Swords you have AP-2 so that brings their Toughness down to 19. If you had 10 AP it would only bring their Toughness down to 12 as that is there base +9 for Armor from their hides

 

[Shayuri]

21...dang.

I've been very lucky then...

May need to use the 'single shot' version of Onslaught. I can still manage another blast that way...

What are the rules for being in melee again? If I move away do I get nabbed?

Gotcha, so mega-armor works the same as normal armor when mega-damage is flung against it.

 

[GreenKarl]

Yes, all Mega Damage and MDC do in Savage Worlds Rifts is act like normal Savage World's Heavy Armor. You need to deal Mega Damage to hurt someone with MDC rating. Thats it

If you are in melee and making a ranged attack you need to hit the target's Parry rating (the Gargoyle Mage has a 6)

 

[Shayuri]

Okay, but there's no 'opportunity attack' mechanic?

Hm. I still have that PPE battery too.

 

[GreenKarl]

There is, if you look in the SW Deluxe book on page 77 - Withdrawing from Close Combat: Adjacent foes get one free melee attack at retreating character

 

[Shayuri]

Ahhh, ok. That sounds like a -bad- idea, since I do not have much toughness.

Better off shooting up close. Maybe improvving a close-in power. Multi-action penalty, but potentially more damage. Hm.
