Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

Errr.. I -did- calculate that -2 for range in my to-hit.. without that it would have been a 15.

When I read the database it shows the combined ranged BAB mod and -2 circumstance modifier as 0, rather than +2 and -2. I thought that looked odd...

Either way, you didn't hit - I don't know if that's any comfort to you or not...

Not sure what you mean.. Normand has a +2 to-hit with the rifle, but had a -2 to-hit due to range, so I inputed 0 for a modifier. Rolled a 13. And missed.

I'm not overly concerned, there's lots of NPCs for the stranger to kill.

I thought you could type "+2 -2" in the Modifiers box on the dice roller and it would display them side-by-side rather than as the sum of both, but I was mistaken - that would be a nice feature for the next version, so you could see each modifier rather than just their sum.

Well I dunno.. I didn't even try such a thing, I just inputed 0 to begin with. It's ok. My experience as a DM tells me that it's better not to hit when there's a lot of allies and few enemies anyway. People tend to fire at the people who hit them.

Sorry, знаток, I didn't mean to skip over Vidal's initiative count. It just made the narrative flow to include the other legionnaires at that moment.

No problem at all. As you can see, I didn't have huge plans for that round. I'm pretty satisfied with my surprise action.

Thanks for the reminder, Shaman!

I had a feeling that 14 might be close, yet not a hit. But with my limited experience with APs, I had forgotten about it. I edited my post to add a d6 roll to the to-hit.. It's now a 20, yay!

Pyotr had been listening to Duval interrogate their new prisoner. Though he had seen worse done by the Germans as well as his own people, he still couldn't shake the queasiness of it. It was one thing to shoot a man, quite another to make him continue to deal with the pain of it. Shaking his head, Pyotr returned to scanning the area.

Excellent post!

BTW, it's Corporal Lavareaux who's tortur...uh, interrogating the prisoner, not Sergeant Duval. Sorry that was fuzzy.

Thanks Shaman. My bad about Duval and Lavereaux. He was more distracted by watching what was going on around him.... He has trouble identifying the two by voice at times....

Yeah, I haven't figured out a way to get Lavareaux's Picard and Duval's Provencal accents into writing yet...



Quick note: I used tan to differentiate written text from the spoken word - I'll stick with this convention throughout the game.

знаток, Vidal was able to rule out one use for the beads - if you want to determine if they have religious or decorative significance, please try a Knowledge (theology and philosophy) and/or Knowledge (art) check. Showing them around might perhaps get you a +2 Aid Another bonus if someone has the appropriate skills in the unit, if you're interested.
