Lysimachus Posted October 11 Author Share Posted October 11 Ok, so Fear Test is passed so you've got 4 CP to start, and Gerhardt has passed his test to act in Round 1 (and join any Squad Action) Necronaut and Mazer Rackham 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382101-deathwatch-murderers-in-black-ooc-thread/page/62/#findComment-6136278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted October 11 Author Share Posted October 11 Ok, for the Bolter Assault so far: Azadth has initiated and acted. Gerhardt and Moridyn are free to take part. Omoc and Vafri still need to roll their Wp tests in order to join in. Zidemi failed his Wp test and so can't act this Round, so can't take part. Asterius is a funny case, as I've said his 1st Round Actions are limited due to his armour still rebooting... what I will do is allow @Machine God to choose to either join the Bolter Assault or take his own Half Action, does that sound fair enough?

Lysimachus Posted Monday at 07:53 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:53 AM (edited) Gents, in the interests of keeping things moving: I've done the second Damage roll for Moridyn's Hit (very slightly above average roll!) - all Actions so far are added to the last Summary post. Also, I'm giving it until the end of today for Vafri (to roll Wp) and Gerhardt to join the Bolter Assault, otherwise I'm going to say they are still struggling with the hypnosis (or the aftereffects or whatever) and end the Squad Action. If this occurs, obviously Gerhardt is still free to act when we reach his Turn, and Vafri is still free to roll his Wp test to act when it is his Turn. At the end of today, I'll reveal the positions of Bloodletter 1 and 2 and take their Actions, then it will be Omoc's and Gerhardt's Turn.

Necronaut Posted Monday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:20 PM Working on it, chief. Will throw up a BA post when I have a spare moment -- already have rolls, just need to get my stuff organized.

Lysimachus Posted Tuesday at 06:51 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:51 AM Actions added to BA summary post and new post added for Bloodletters 1 and 2. Sorry about the Dodges @Necronaut but at least you've used up their Reactions for this Round, which should be pretty helpful for Gerhardt and Omoc in CC? NB. Also, it probably wouldn't have been 46 Dam I'm afraid, remember that the Errata says you get to add 1 extra d10 for your RF, not reroll full Dam all over again?

A.T. Posted Tuesday at 04:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:24 PM If Omocs knockdown fails he is staying where he is - not going to give the Bloodletter free hits on him, he can use the remaining half action to delay move instead in the event that the bloodletter keels over on its own... I figure that as knock-down is an attack it can't be comboed with any alternatives like manoeuver, and I don't think his Stalwart defense is going to be much use with a combat knife against power weapons.

Lysimachus Posted Tuesday at 05:52 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:52 PM (edited) Ok, I keep having to reread the Knockdown rules... As far as I can see, the Bloodletter won't be able to beat Omoc's roll (though it is 6DoS rather than 7, I think? 3+3?) so it's just a question of whether it takes Damage or not? It could pass the Str test sufficiently to be beaten by less than 2DoS (3DoS plus 2 for Unnatural Strength), but it's not hugely likely...? Edit: No, hang on, it's Str is 45, so if it rolled 5 or less that would be 4DoS (+2 for UnnStr) = 6DoS That would match Omoc's DoS score, so it would go to how much they beat their target by. Omoc: 71-39=32 Bloodletter:45-5=40 So the BL has a very, very slim (1 in 20) chance of winning the Knockdown, right? Subsequent question - if Omoc wins and Moves away, the Bloodletter will still get a free opportunity Attack, correct? It will be at -10WS as per the rules for Prone, but that is the only effect, right? Prone doesn't mention any change to being Engaged or change to how leaving it works? (Kinda like going for his ankles as he walks away! ) NB. Side point, but Hellblades don't have Power, so Parries with Stalwart Defence wouldn't wreck your knife? ...I think? Yup, Power in Black Crusade, Warp Weapon in Deathwatch!

Looking at it, I think the damage goes through, as there must be some result from the Hit roll. Essentially, you lamp the guy, and if you're stronger he goes down, but if he not, he keeps his feet, and you fall over after hitting a brick wall. The text from the book that got me thinking was: '...If the attacker succeeds by two or more Degrees of Success, the target also suffers...' Would seem to make the results discrete...thoughts? 2 hours ago, Lysimachus said: So the BL has a very, very slim (1 in 20) chance of winning the Knockdown, right?

Lysimachus Posted Tuesday at 09:27 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 09:27 PM Well, there we go, actually rolled pretty close (but no cigar!) Got 5 DoS total, so it goes down but doesn't take Damage. Up to AT whether Omoc walks off and risks the swipe? And Gerhardt is up... considering that the BT has got a big ol' sword rather than a combat knife, I suspect he might not be going with a Knockdown!

A.T. Posted Tuesday at 09:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:42 PM Omoc will use his second half action to delay moving away should another come in and finish off the downed bloodletter - or he's just going to end up pinned in combat next round anyway.

Lysimachus Posted Wednesday at 03:26 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:26 PM @Necronaut - I wondering if that was going to happen. I figured Gerhardt had a 1 in 5 shot at taking the enemy out with 1 Hit, but the RF and +9 was proper Templar fury! However, I think you guys can only put 1 Squad Mode/Action into effect in each Round, so (while I think Armour of Faith might be a very smart move) it's benefits will have to apply from Round 2 onwards, as you've already used Bolter Assault? (and benefitted from Corruption Resistance at the top of the Round too, although that was kinda pre-Structured Time so I'm not really counting it) Necronaut 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382101-deathwatch-murderers-in-black-ooc-thread/page/62/#findComment-6136779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necronaut Posted Wednesday at 03:52 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:52 PM (edited) Oh heck sorry about that! Here I got way ahead of myself on sharing that squad mode. I can go back and edit my post and refund myself a FP or two if anyone thinks that maybe a different squad mode might be more strategic to use going forward.

Lysimachus Posted Wednesday at 03:55 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:55 PM It's totally up to you, if you want to set it up I'm happy to allow it and say it goes into effect from the top of Round 2... but it may be that Gerhardt would rather cancel it and save the FP for (hopefully more successful) Wound restoring? I'm cool either way!

Necronaut Posted Wednesday at 04:13 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:13 PM (edited) Nah let it ride for now unless anyone else wishes to suggest a different squad mode to use for round 2. Extra damage reduction vs daemons, however, seems... appropriate for this encounter. We can also terminate it at any time and switch to a different squad mode.

Lysimachus Posted Wednesday at 06:40 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 06:40 PM @Necronaut I just noticed, you didn't need to spend the FP to add Cohesion to kick off your Squad Mode? Unless I've missed something, the team was on 2CP, you spent (2-1=1) on Armour of Faith, which still leaves 1 in the bank to sustain the Squad Mode? So if you want to take back that FP, I don't mind?

Lysimachus Posted Wednesday at 09:19 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 09:19 PM (edited) @Machine God sorry, I hadn't seen your IC post! I was going to say that even those who are hypnotised/immobilised would get their Reaction as normal. (I figure self-preservation instinct is strong enough, and Asterius was able to move somewhat this Round?) So if you want to roll your Dodge/Parry, feel free? Edit: however, if it is failed, Armour of Faith won't apply yet as that is starting from the top of R2. Edit again: @Lord_Ikka don't wait for Vafri, feel free to take Moridyn's Turn as soon as you're ready (you need a Dodge roll against BL3's Charge as well) Edited Wednesday at 09:34 PM by Lysimachus Machine God 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382101-deathwatch-murderers-in-black-ooc-thread/page/62/#findComment-6136851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
