[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5471483, member: 51930"] [sblock=ooc] I don't understand the rational behind line of sight on the one hand, and gaining cover on the other. It's a vertical wall, you're in a position that they can see you, and you've got a glowing laser-sword that you're swinging around blocking with. If they have line of sight, they have it, we're agreed. Is the wall acting as cover? It's a vertical wall and you're a bipedal character. In the various books I've got, cover is for things like waist-high walls. The stormtroopers in the book examples, for example, don't have cover against the characters because of line of sight, and they don't have a waist-high wall to hide behind. If you got cover from the SBDs, you'd either have total cover (behind the wall) or no cover (due to line of sight). There isn't a halfway point, if we're allowing LOS around corners based on the corners of the grid squares on a map. I'll include cover in the next encounter. Admittedly, this would be a better encounter if you guys were behind a crumbling half-wall. It doesn't make realistic sense for the Droids to allow that, however, as it's the front door to the droid base (ie: if bad guys were to show up, they'd have a perfect place to pick off the guards from). [/sblock] The Jedi leaps out to try and block Sonja from being slain, but the first shot is too much. It strikes him, and he falls to the ground. [color=orange]I'm... sorry...

Immediately afterward, three clone troopers leap around the corner to lay down cover fire for their Jedi commanding officer, but are shot down. Sonja has enough chance to get out of the way unscathed, but the death toll is severe. ooc: the Jedi NPC is down. Three clone troopers are down. The total bonus to any minion-related rolls is now lowered by 4 (one for each of them). if Z3r0 wants to grab a clone gun, I'll allow that one flew through the air to land nearby. I'm shocked the original player didn't include *something* in a weapon. Initiative: Droidekas Chase Sonja <<You're up! Z3r0 New Characters enter Super Battle Droids Clones [/QUOTE]
