I will go with the Intimidation since that is more in keeping with him anyways. And thank you for that explanation. I liked it a lot and is generous. Thank you. 

Edit1: Does he still get a bit of a shield benefit?

Edit2: Change just the action bit to say Intimidating Charge, since that is what I am going with and what I am calling it. 

 

ReEdit1: Only narratively at the moment, mechanically not, but you do have ridiculous good defence compared to the other players, only David is harder to hurt/damage. So if you do get hit and don’t take damage/or minimal damage you can narrate it as having been blocked/shielded by your sword.

 

Edit2: sounds fluffy

 

Let me roll the Bandit’s willpower, one moment.

Hence why I provided an armoured egg basket free of charge.

We seemed to have needed it with the numbers of guys with good rifles. Can't wait to finally hit someone with the sword. It's not gonna be pretty. :)

Dragon Slayer which my idea is based off of:
 

Given the sword's incredible size and weight, the Dragon Slayer functions more like a bladed maul than an actual sword, though Guts is more than capable of using it to cut through various targets. The sheer momentum of Guts swinging it can tear anyone caught in the attack impact into pieces with one swing; this often is applied to more than one enemy at once, cleaving through multiple foes in a single swing.

 

This size and weight also grants the Dragon Slayer some versatility, as Guts has used the broad side of the weapon to squash and flatten several opponents.^[8][9] The Dragon Slayer's width also allows Guts to use it defensively, in lieu of a shield.

Huh, I just rolled another 8, with a different set of dice no less. What are the odds?

[Trokair]

Khorne wills it.

If you haven't already there are a few suitable shield rules in books like the inquisitors handbook

 

The 'guard shield' is the lightest at 3.5 kg and 100 thrones for 6 points of cover (single direction vs ranged attacks)  - perhaps a suitable stand-in if you have the coin, just themed as a oversized sword rather than a shield.

And I just realized I rolled an 8 for damage as well!

 

Blood for the Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne?

Where does Aria get +20 for Aim from? Aim - Half Action is +10.

The accurate quality of her Rifle gives her an extra +10 when aiming

Indeed. And you don't get the extra damage if you don't aim so it's always a full action to use the weapon properly.

[Machine God]

So Initiative is:

 

Kazimir: 10 [5/12] 

Wolfquad Bandit Beta1:10 [18/??] Dead

Wolfquad Bandit Beta2:10 [??/??]

Wolfquad Bandit Beta3+4:10 [??/??]

Aria: 8 [11/12] 

 

But Aria went anyway?

Technically, I'll slot Aria action in at the right point.

 

Also as she is shotting at the original Wolfquad rider (who has now picked up the RPG launcher) all of that is on the other side of the skirmish from Kazimir and the Beta Bandits, so unlike to chnage anythign there.

Sorry, didn't notice the change in the initiative order and just posted after Varn.

[TechCaptain]

I will post in a little bit. Was beating the daylights out of Tau with Knights

[TechCaptain]

With my rolls is it possible I cleaved through both of them? and maybe the quad.

You'll only get your normal Strength bonus to damage and you can only declare one of the bandits as a target- Dark Heresy doesn't really allow for multiple targets in a single swing as far as melee goes. You don't do extra damage to another target with good rolls, you just do Critical Damage to your lone target.

Oh I need to edit my attack. I still pass but I may be off on my Charge numbers because for some reason I used Only War numbers. Also I remember something about Hulking but I need to get back to my computer to read back and work that.

Kazimir

 

Full Action a Charging Attack

 

Autosanguine Heal 2/day, Prosanguine Heal 1d5/day (4) Heal 6?

Effective WS 55 (35 + 20 10(charge)+ 10 Hulking (full seated Quad) )  - roll to hit 31 - hit with two extra DoS (Does this mean extra attack or damage?)

Damage 2d10 = 7+9+ Str(5) = 21, Pen 2

(Do I get Str or Str and a half for using two hands? Answered by Ikka - Nope just straight Str)

 

 

 

Autosanguine is heal 2 points of damage per day, so this will not kick in until we transition to the next day. It dose also mean you only ever count as lightly wounded.  

 

Prosanguine is upgrade of sorts, every 12 hours you may make a Tech-Use test lasting at least 10 minutes minimum of meditation and/or chanting the right rituals. You are essentially forcing your will on the Autosanguine and driving it to work harder. If you pass the Tech-Use test you heal 1d5. However if you roll 96+ on the Tech-Use test then you have overstrained both the Prosanguine and Autosanguine and neither is functional for a week.  As you don’t have Tech-Use you can only use it as a Basic (as a Hive Worlder origin), so your target when you do is 16.

 

So while you can heal a little in due course, and can try to use the Prosanguine to heal a bit more you cannot do either right now.

 

 

Charge Attack, you had it mostly right, but I’ll go over it in a little detail for clarity

WS35 + 10(Charge) + 10(Hulking)= 55

D100: 31, Pass, 2 DoS

So far so good, with some attacks extra DoS give bonuses such as extra hits, this is not the case for normal attack (by itself or as part of a charge).

Next you need to determine location. Take your hit and invert it then look at table 7-7 p194 or at your character sheet at the small numbers below the body, leg, arm, head bit.

Hit Location 13 = Right Arm

Assuming the opponent dose not dodge/parry we go to Damage which you have correct, and yes as Lord Ikka says it is only ever Sb unless something says otherwise. Also as your sword (still) has the Primitive quality any non primitive armour that the defender wears is doubled.

Thank you for the explanation. So instead of tearing at least one of the two or the bike in two, I would tear off an arm with a sword that is somewhere over six feet long. Elsewise everything you said makes sense and helps a lot going forward as I try to better my narrative and gameplay.

If you thought you’d be able to cleave through both of them, with a single attack, from a big, yet otherwise mundane sword, you may have read a little too much Berserk lol

Maybe just a bit lol. I was mostly figuring something cinematic. I trust our Trokair to figure something good. Mundane it might be at the moment still did a ton of damage unless one of the two on the bike did a dodge parry. Assuming the bike itself just doesn't get wrecked throwing both into the bush or something. 

[Trokair]

You have hit the right arm, so it is that locations armour that will be used to resist the attack, as you can have different armour load out on different parts.

 

Also if it was your character that was hit in say the right arm, and your wound as a result of that attack drooped below 0, then critical damage would be rolled for the arm. Which could give a temporary debuff or straight up loose the arm.

 

For mooks 0 wounds instead of critical damage is just dead.

 

Assuming the Bandit fails his dodge then I think you have enough damage to kill him, so while your hit was to the right arm, narratively your sword swing could then have kept going.

The rules are the underlying mechanics/framework, the narrative is how you decorate on top of that.  

[TechCaptain]

Fair enough. I am kind of seeing it right now since it doesn't have the mono edge and he isn't quite Gutz as thus. The sword swings with such power but is thick enough that he shatters the arm tearing into the arm and through to the body of the man. Flinging him clear off the bike partially or fully rended leaving the other dude covered in the remains of his comrade mwhahaha. And thank you guys for your patience with my inane not understand how some of this works.
