I can spend a destiny point to boost one of my rolls right?

-deleted-

The effect of the Battle Meditation power, using the dark side, is that Kell and Dev'rios have their Willpower reduced by 1. So until the end of the encounter, Kell's Willpower is 2, and Dev'rios' Willpower is 1.

H4L takes a moment to guess his range correctly, then hefts a concussion grenade in his hand and then tosses it between the two nearest droids.

"Fire in the hole!!!"

Aim, then throw a grenade at the closer droid, with the intention of catching two in the blast if I can. Spending a destiny point to boost the last of my dice.

Dice roll to follow, I assume dificulty is as it was before.

Grenade!: 3eP+1eB+1eC+3eS 1 failure, 5 advantage


Wow, we are just not having any luck... Except, obviously, now I can activate blast, at least. Also, can I activate the concussive effect with hitting? If not, I move away, then boost the next person's roll.

You can hit one of the droids with the Blast 8. Since it's a grenade and you activated Blast, I would also be okay with you either activating the Disorient quality (disorienting both droids [per the Concussion grenade description] for 5 rounds) or the Concussive quality (shellshocking one droid for 2 rounds).

You didn't use Marsten's proffered Boost die, so I'll be assuming that that's the one Kell took on his own combat check. In the future, please make sure to glance up the game thread and make sure you've got all the goodies your fellow PCs are throwing to you.

Also, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. The droids have Adversary 1 and (Melee/Ranged) Defense 2. You only need to add two setbacks to ranged or melee combat checks. The reason Marsten had to add an additional Setback die was per his blaster attachments.

We've already moved on, so let's not try and fix the roll (especially since I think I'm being generous allowing the Disorient or Concussive quality to activate), but from now on (especially since for the want of a Boost die and too many Setbacks, you could have actually Succeeded) try and take the time to make sure you've got the rolls right! (It's as frustrating for me as it is for you when PCs don't succeed at their tasks! I don't mind answering questions here on the thread or via PM)

Crazy Aido, please let me know whether you'd like to Concuss the one droid or Disorient the both of them.

I disorient both droids, thanks. I will try and calculate my rolls better for next time.

Sweet action, thanks very much.

I really appreciate the responsiveness, the activity, and the communication you all are making happen!

Gorramit, I forgot to write down that part on my sheet!

Sorry, guys.

Does the Battle Meditation Willpower reduction affect our strain?

Does the Battle Meditation Willpower reduction affect our strain?

No, only your starting Willpower affects your strain threshold. Increases and decrease of the characteristic after character creation do nothing to the threshold.

I believe the PC's with turns left are Tahiri and Devrios

I was going to let Devrios go but maybe I should just go ahead and go. I'm going to attack the guy inside with Marsten and myself with both my lightsabers. Can someone help me with the dice pool again. I'm still pretty new to the system and want to go ahead and get it right now.

Nah, you wanna **** it up like I did. I've only been running wfrp3 for like, 4 years now, you think I'd be used to the dice.

Excellent move. The attacking, if you're using two lightsabers to attack (initiating two-weapon combat) is going to be Hard, upgraded once, with two setbacks: . In addition to the dice pool, you'll need two Advantage to activate the second hit.

You can instead attack with just one of your sabers at a reduced difficulty: .

You do know that you'll need to strike pretty darn hard to damage these guys with a training saber. They are built to resist small arms fire.

(edit: the Challenge die is for the Adversary talent, and the Setback dice are for melee Defense of 2, which is from the shield).

I've never played WFRP before, but it looks like a really cool system. Do you think it gives you an easier time understanding the dice mechanics of this game system?

You have it on the sheet already, but in any case:

YYGvsRPPBB Not including possibilities like aiming, fighting defensively, etc.

Not the best dice pool, really.

Edit: I swear there was another P there... Also I swear there were no answers yesterday... my browser is trolling me?

In any case, come on... you're going to get a cramp

Sort of?

I'm kinda using your interpretation of successes and boons to help with how I use them in WFRP. It can get a bit hard to calculate what to do with some stats. Three chaos stars in a row can be a tough one.

I'm going to roll a defensive circle instead. Does adversary apply to that check? My understanding is that it does not.

Defensive Circle is not rolled against anyone, it has its own difficulty. So I would say no, you'd roll:

YYGvsPPP Plus whatever bonuses you'd get from earlier advantages or anything.

Just remember, if you need to choose, don't pick me (I already have melee/ranged defense 3 this round).

I think all of us outside are at short range, since I employed a maneuver to get to engaged. You should pick H4L, Kell or Dev'rios.

By the way, Tahiri and Marsten (the ones getting the bonus) are precisely the ones not benefitting from it (since they already have melee/ranged defense 1).

Yeah, Defensive Circle stipulates that the targets gain a Defense rating, not increase it, so Defensive Circle is one of those "sources of defense" that don't stack with each other (like armor).

But since he is at short range, could he reasign the bonuses? Obviously, the bonus he gains is waisted, but he could still save some lives...

I don't mind him taking a maneuver to step outside and reassign the bonuses.

Let me know what you want to do with this. Tahiri and Marsten don't benefit from this activation of Circle of Shelter (neither can Lavin), but Kell, Dev'rios, or H4L can! They are all outside, and you can edit your post to perform a maneuver and get within range of them. Should you do so, you can choose which two get the bonus.

Isn't he already at short range from the ones outside?

Pretty sure Tahiri is inside, which is medium range from the altercation outside.

Mmmm so I made 2 maneuvers to engage, then I couldn't produce the saber. Note to self: never play estimative wargames.
