Battletech - Blood of Kerensky

[Dire Lemming]

You said 1-2 was 4, 3-4 was 3, and 5-6 was 2. I rolled 2 for gunnery and 3 for piloting...

I'll be on the road this weekend, starting tomorrow, and after tonight I most likely won't be able to post again until Tuesday. I'll have the laptop and be on the lookout for opportunities to check in, but that may not happen. FYI.

Your actually doing quite well. Btw, i didn't use the punch table because I took some advice (both online and at home) and made the punch hit/leg hit only apply within 3 hexes. And yes, your opponent is down for the count. You completely destroyed its center torso.

This was actually a great learning experience on how to properly employ the design. For instance use the design's max speed and max weapon range in order to determine what the other target has. And then adjust range and speed as required. Plus the whole facing thing really was screwing me up in the begining.

Question: How do we increase our piloting and gunnery skills?

I guess I should have chosen a cauldren born to take the whole Asher/Zilpah gag a little farther, oh well.

BTW, I'd really like to know what happened with my gunnery skill.

Lemming: If you saw Darimaus' post somewhere around here (cannot remember the page), he said that if your rolls gave you no score of 1 or 2, then your scores of 4 get reduced to 3.

So you would have piloting and gunnery of 3 each, as I did, since I rolled basically the same results as you did.

 

[Dire Lemming]

I don't understand. So I got my skill lowered because I rolled well?

 

[Arkhandus]

Er, I thought you meant your rolled a 2 for gunnery, which would be a score of 4.....did you mean your gunnery score was a 2?

Oh god, don't tell me this is another AD&D AC thing! Why can't people learn to count forwards?!

So I rolled really badly then. Oh well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Same thing happened to me in the trial.

Gotta remember this game system is quit old and dates to AD&D.

"Hey, I've just had a great idea for Battketech!"

"Whazat?"

"Let's make everything bass ackwards!"

"Why?"

"Because we're sadists!"

"Oh yeah."

So did anyone get better than a 3/3 or 2/4?
