[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 5470511, member: 88649"] [sblock=OOC]Not sure what rule book you are reading, since all a Jedi needs is line of sight. Accordingly, when you use a grid with squares, you trace a line from any corner of a person's square (their choice) and if it intersects the target's square without going through total cover, then no problem. Since we aren't using a grid, then if a person peeks their head and arm around a corner, then they have cover. If they can see the target, they can shoot and/or use the Force. Taking advantage of the cover provided by a corner is a fundamental tactic in combat; shoot a blaster from around a corner, throw a grenade from a corner, and Force Slam from a corner. So yes, you can peek around a corner and hold your hand out and Force Slam according to RAW. For some reason I had thought it was a half wall or something (it looks like Chase does as well), but that doesn't matter. Because if a grenade could have been used from cover, then it stands to reason the Force Slam could have as well. BTW, when I mentioned this tactic beforehand, you [B]could[/B] have said that the only way to reach them was to stand out in plain view like a sitting duck. Even saying such right after I posted my actions would have caused me to change them when you switched Sonja and Chase in the Initiative order. With the crude map that we have, the layout of the battlefield is wide open for different interpretations so it is difficult to make tactical decisions without some help from the GM. However, if you are still saying she is standing in the wide open like an idiot (which was not the intent at all, btw), then burn 3 Clone troopers on SDBs. The NPC Jedi can try to deflect the Driodeka's blast, since he no longer has his Force Powers, he is pretty worthless in comparison. Now that you have the correct damage, did the SBDs survive 15 points of damage? I would like results on that and Chase's action before I post Sonja again. Also how far away are the droids now? Are they still grouped together separately? Or did they all congregate together in one mass to get at the lightsaber wielding Jedi? And where are the Droidekas in relation to the SBDs and Sonja?[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
