Dice Rolls OOC

[Wired*Nun]

1. Do all dice rolls here. Peruse this thread http://online-roleplaying.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7092 to find out how to do dice rolls yourself. Label the dice roll post somehow e.g., Brother Will Research Roll

2. Paste a link for the dice roll post into the RP post.

If you don't want to or don't feel it's appropriate or don't have all the information to do it yourself, just let me know and I'll do them.

DeNiro attempt to surprise and jab Earl with cane [roll0]

[TreyKincaide]

o.O

Attempt to perceive DeNiro's stabbery: [roll0]

[Wired*Nun]

DeNiro's non-surprise, resisted attempt to jab Greta with the cane:

Greta's resistance d8+d6

De'niro's attempt [roll0]

[Wired*Nun]

Try again...

Greta's resistance [roll0] + [roll1]

...Ugh. Sorry. Tha's dice for ya.

[Wired*Nun]

Earl's hand-to-hand attack on DeNiro [roll0]

DeNiro's defense [roll1] + [roll2]

[Wired*Nun]

Earl's damage to DeNiro - as far as I can tell, hands (even with MLH) inflict only basic numerical damage. Basic damage is attack minus defense, so 8 minus 8 equals 0. If I'm wrong, please tell me where the rule is.

Trey and Lyn, please let me know what their next action(s) is/are specifically, and whether you might want to spend plot points or try multiple attacks or whatever as appropriate.

Yusheng's roll to notice the noise above the full-burn noise difficulty 7: [roll0]

Success

[Wired*Nun]

After further research, I still can't find a mechanism for high strength ading to HTH damage. I must be reading it wrong. Someone please set me straight. In the meantime, I'm going to use a reroll of Strength, + the previous HTH roll vs. the same resistance number the defender rolled, to assess damage. In other words, it's another comparison, but with a Strength roll substituted for the Agility.

So, in Earl's case, the target had an 8 resistance. Earl rolled a 4 + 4 to hit - barely successful. Now I'm going to reroll for his damage Strength + 4 vs an 8:

[roll0] + 4 = 14

Ouch! That does 6 damage split between wounds and stun 3 and 3.

I'll edit the post to reflect.

Note that HTH combat tends to take a number of rounds to be decisive, between skilled opponents.

[Wired*Nun]

Earl attemps to grapple DeNiro [roll0] vs his all-out defense [roll1] + [roll2] = nonsuccess.

[Wired*Nun]

Earl attempts to grapple Genning from behind [roll0] + [roll1]

vs. Genning's natural defense [roll2] + [roll3]

success. Does 1 stun damage.

[Wired*Nun]

Genning's last shot at Earl before his gun is empty [roll0]
vs Earl's defense [roll1]
I'm ruling that Earl's all-out attack negative defensive modifier is balanced by Genning's negative attack modifier due to being tackled

[Wired*Nun]

damage to Earl [roll0]

[Wired*Nun]

Earl tries to slam Genning's head into the bulkhead -

Earl's roll [roll0] + [roll1]

Genning's defense [roll2]

Does 4 damage split between stun and wounds

[Wired*Nun]

Earl tries to get Genning in a headlock that will stay into unconsciousness

[roll0] + [roll1]

vs Genning's defense [roll2]

[Wired*Nun]

Genning attempts to get out a knife [roll0] vs 7 success

[Candleman]

Arthur's shotgun fire:

1d8 (plot point) + 1d10 (shotgun skill, all-out attack) + 1d6 (agility)

Ok well it doesn't seem to work when editing it, so I'll just repost.

[Wired*Nun]

As I mentioned in the other OOC, I'll hold this in abeyance until I see if you want to modify your action due to the rule review or plot point reminder.

Arthur's fury-driven attack on DeNiro:

[roll0] (plot point) + [roll1] (shotgun skill, all-out attack) + [roll2] (agility)

[Wired*Nun]

Arthur's shotgun fire:

[roll0] (plot point) + [roll1] (shotgun skill, all-out attack) + [roll2] (agility)

Ok well it doesn't seem to work when editing it, so I'll just repost.

Yes, it doesn't work when editing to eliminate the possibility of anyone other than the GM fudging with the rolls.

[Wired*Nun]

Arthur's fury-driven attack on DeNiro:

[roll0] (plot point) + [roll1] (shotgun skill, all-out attack) + [roll2] (agility)

Actually all-out attack gives +2 steps. That means shotgun skill should have been d12. We'll add another d2 to to the total:

[Wired*Nun]

[roll0]

So the total attack roll is now 12. when I get around to figuring it all out.

[Wired*Nun]

DeNiro's all-out Dodge roll [roll0] + [roll1]

which fails. DeNiro is hit for 2 base damage wounds (12 - 10)

[Wired*Nun]

Arthur's shotgun damage add above Base damage [roll0]

Ouch.
