WD, don't forget to add the equipment bonus for your gun to your attack roll (+2 if it's a light pistol, +3 if it's heavy).

Thanks, you are right. I will edit my post.

Damn that's cool. I like the way you take liberties with details I forgot to add. Like the time of night (I was originally thinking late afternoon but middle of night works as well ) and the victim's ethnicity (Though the name suggests to Shay's choice ). Now All I wish is something like SRD for ST-system . Posting at work isn't as easy as with d20 games.

I figured night works best for a world of darkness campaign.. specially since I see Jericho as being one of those night shift detectives. (sides, All the cool stuff happens on night shift. )
And as for the exact time, well the numbers 238 and 1238 are kinda a special number for me and my friends, it seems to pop up everywhere. Hek, even in the movie 23... 2 to the power of 3 is 8... 238. Just shows you if you're looking for a pattern you'll see it everywhere.

@Shayuri: Don't forget that you can use willpower to raise your defense.

 

[Shayuri]

Oh really? Hmm!

How does that work?

...not that it matters. If ever there was a time to spend Willpower on defense, I'd say this was it.

Core Book p. 156:

A further option is to spend a Willpower point to increase your character's Defense by two against a single attack. If his Defense is normally 2 it increases to 4 for the incoming attack. If he has already evaded other attacks in the turn and his Defense is currently reduced to, say, one, a spent Willpower point increases it to 3 to avoid a single attack. Basically, your character puts special effort into avoiding a particular assault. See "Resistance" p. 133 for more information.

 

[Shayuri]

Is that before or after doubling for total defense?

Must be after...so a total of 6 dice for defense?

Core Boob page 133

In these cases, you can spend a point of Willpower in a reflexive action to gain a bonus to Resistance efforts. In combat, a point of Willpower spent adds two points to your characterÕs Defense to resist harm against a single attack. You simply announce that you're spending Willpower
to resist when the attack is staged. (Your character could even dodge in a turn see p. 121 and you could spend a Willpower point to gain a further two points of protection against a single attack.)

Yes, sounds like Angie's defense will be 6 for this attack.

Far be it from me to argue with the Core Boob.
