[SW Saga] The Second K'ril Incursion (OOC) [RE-RECRUITING]

[drothgery]

Saw it this morning, but my book is at home. First Saga combat and all.

It's not hugely urgent -- I won't actually be running the first round of combat until tomorrow (tabletop game tonight, and I've got to finalize stats on Devan, Martina, and the droids) -- but with the subscriptions page out I'm trying to make sure everyone notices when an update's posted.

I forget whether you prefered to do the rolls or if you wanted us to do them via IC and post the links here. I can do either way, just refresh my memory.

If you link to results from an online roller, I'll use them, otherwise I'll roll dice if I'm at home or use invisiblecastle myself if I'm at work. I don't have a strong preference either way.

Similar here. Had to look up what my talents actually do exactly. (And I still have to write some reaction for Sianni for that major insult.)



BTW, what are the rules for tripping accidentally, bumping into someone and pushing her (could be anyone, really) into the open bay door?

That'd be tripping on purpose, bantha rushing someone who at least looks bigger and stronger than youSianni, and making a really high-DC deception check...

Ha, I just knew she was fat!!!

Actually, at ~5' 8"/~140lbs Sianni's rather bigger than I thought. So Martina's not all that much taller (Martina's quite tall for a human woman at about 6' 0", though a hair shorter than her husband), and scarcely heavier at all. But all that armor she's got on weighs something, too .

 

[Douane]

Suuure, the good old armor defense: "I'm not fat, I'm just wearing heavy armor." While some of those brain-addled males might fall for that, the always neutral and dispassionate Sianni would never fall for it. * Cough, cough *

I didn't want to make Sianni too small since Twi'leks seem to be one of the taller species (at least in general), but if I get the impression that a little less would fit better, she'll have to "magically" shrink a bit.



IC: As I'm writing Sianni'a post I'm still a bit at odds with movement. One move action (6 spaces) wouldn't be enough to get to the other side of the bay door, right? (I'm trying to 'de-pile us a bit.)

Yeah, 1 space in my ASCII art map = 1 square, so you can't single-move to the other side of the bay door (it was supposed to be a 20 square x 10 square room, though it looks like I drew a 19 square x 9 square room). You're fairly spread out right now; it'd be hard to hit more than two of you with a single blast of autofire or a grenade (not that I'm saying they have autofire weapons or grenades).

Oops, found/read this only now as I just intended to ask whether the scale was "one character or space" to "one square". That's cleared then, thanks!

For clarification: The way it seems now is that I see no chance for Sianni actually getting a shot off because Hawke and Kacela are blocking effectively every possible line of fire, correct?

You couldn't get to a position protected by cover and shoot, but if you were willing to stand out in the open, you could get to the spot on either side of Kacela (there's no movement penalty for moving through a square occupied by an ally, so you can go through Hawke's square and/or Kacela's without penalty), you could move there and shoot (at #1 from the 'West' side of her or at #2 from the 'East' side, going by video game geography*).

* the top of the screen is always North.

Also, just as a reminder to our Ithorian friend, there are no free 5' steps in SWSE (or 2m steps, or 1.5m steps, or 1 square steps either). It doesn't change your actions, I think (move action to move 1 square back, standard action to set up personalized modifications). But it's probably worth noting.
