[RECRUITING! - Old School Mash-Up] The City of the Sleeping Demon OOC

I'm not sure I understand this. How about an example? A frag grenade does 5d6 points of damage. Would this end up doing 5 points of damage?

Yes. The conversion works reasonably well at low levels using S&W HP's. 5d6 Damage is about half the HP's of an ordinary MF human (CON 10, so 10d6 HD). 5 Damage is a little more than half for a level 1 S&W character. So thats about the same.

The problem is, S&W character HP's increase. So a level 6 S&W character (6d6 HD, ave 21 HP's) would laugh off a couple of 5 Damage frag grenades.

Which is why I don't like increasing HP's.

I don't think that there is an easy solution as the two games are built around differing premises. The best compromise is a conversion that works at the lower levels of S&W hps, as this is where the characters will be for a while.

How about we go Mutant Future for hit points? That seems easiest.

Also, the new post is up, and more XP has been awarded.

Sorry for the hold up. My wife has been down with a staph infection this week. I'll get back into the swing of things this weekend. In the meantime, should we go ahead and use MF-style hit points?

I hope that your wife is feeling better.

Using MF is probably the simplest. Going this route will mean only converting S&W spell HP (damage/healing/etc) values.As non of the characters have any S&W spells at the moment, easy.

She is doing much better now, which is a huge relief. I'm not cut-out to be a mother.

With MF hit points, we could still keep the S&W class hit dice instead of everyone using the same hit die. The best of both worlds?

 

[Mark Chance]

Sorry again for the delay. Update tonight when I get home from work. To tide y'all over and do penance for my tardiness, I'll toss in some bonus patience XP.

OOC: I rolled up a primitive firearm on my character sheet but I don't ever think we determined what it was. If it is appropriate to use here, I will.

Go ahead and roll 1d100 on the Primitive Firearms table to determine what weapon you have.

Canon?!

Crap... how do you want to handle this? Want me to reroll?

Cannon: Cannons are very rare weapons, and are almost
all gone - the vehicles mounting them were all but lost
long ago. Tanks and other armored vehicles generally
used cannons as their main armament, while lighter
cannons were used in a man-portable role as heavy
weapons (such as so-called “recoilless rifles”). A cannon
can only be fired once per round, and must be reloaded
after each shot, requiring one round to reload. This
weapon does 10d10 damage.

 

[Mark Chance]

Yeah, a cannon seems a bit improbable given the game's set-up. Roll again?

 

[Deuce Traveler]

A 47, automatic rifle... I would have loved the cannon, though.

Ok, will update the character sheet.
