Lysimachus Posted Tuesday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:35 PM I need to go back and reread the Incursion bit, must have missed it... Hagga is the only one with Command Skill, so I guess if we want to do it, it's down to him? Question is whether we want to risk the other Corsair getting ganked by the Stubber in order to help us out vs the Horde? Is it worth it? I am definitely a bit concerned about getting another 2 SABs at full 2d10 extra Damage coming in Round 1, but if the Corsair can knock even 1 Mag off of Horde B it will be much less... And I assume the Corsair will actually get a Dodge if the Stubber hits him, as it isn't a Horde, so it's not a foregone conclusion that he'll get killed if he helps us out? However, Hagga and Cyrandras are both in cover now (I hope?) So they might be able to weather the attack a bit better this time? (Or Mazer might actually roll badly for an enemy attack... not that I hold out much hope of that... ) Also, worth bearing in mind that this Horde is below the level of the gantry, so they might choose to shoot at Ukalegon instead, and he (maybe?) doesn't have any cover? So for him the Horde is currently a serious threat too. Lots to consider... but I wonder if it might be worth taking up the GM's offer and trying the Command test for some help. What do you think, guys?

Not going to mess you about, if he helps he takes his eye off the ball and he's dead meat. Hence the +1 Corruption.

Trokair Posted Tuesday at 07:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:04 PM Given that Tarh been pretty busy in the 30 or so seconds since the hostile came into view, and I ended the last post with him focused on the hostiles outside the door ready to shoot another one, I think it works fine that he neither had the opportunity to nor spotted the danger. Focused elsewhere. He will have heard the warning though I think, so knows that there is danger from the rear, and will just have to trust* the others to their part just as he is doing his. *I have just set myself up haven’t I?

Lysimachus Posted Wednesday at 11:39 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:39 AM (edited) Well, on balance, I'd say that worked and was worth losing the injured NPC and the Corruption* Point? All three Hordes' Lasguns now do 2d10+3 Damage, with an average roll result of 14, so vs our typical TB+AV of 15-17 they'll need solidly above average rolls to do us any harm? (Watch as Mazer now rolls up 3 hits for every SAB and 9 and 10 on every single Damage roll... ) *I don't even mind the Corruption Point. I was looking through that bit of the book and Corruption actually nets you some good stuff, doesn't it? Gifts, etc. As opposed to something like DH, where it is all a negative, I mean? Gaining it is just another part of the game, something to be expected and even useful? Right up to the point where you hit 100 and turn into a Spawn, obviously...

Your auto spawn is 100 Corruption, but in Black Crusade, your GM sets the Threshold. And for this game it's 85.

No, no, the Infamy level is indeed set by me at 85, and Spawndom is still 100, the point I was making is that Corruption gets tossed out more than Infamy does, so +1 is nothing...until you get +9 on top.
