Cantina - OOC/Small Talk

I see my token still hasn't moved. Dex, would you mind? :-) Thanks!

Done i can do it with my phone!

Thanks, but that's a bit farther than I intended. I hope it's ok for me to move it!

Sure

LOL I can just imagine Hotwire trying to get his stubby little legs over the consoles! :-D

Shooting with the turmoil bonus means that you will randomly hit one of the people engaged in melee. You risk hitting an ally.

Oh is that what that means? Well that does make sense. So can you choose NOT to use the bonus? And if you do use it, how is it determined who gets hit?

Yes, you can choose to not get the bonus. Getting the bonus means you shoot at random in the big group of combattants. You can just aim at the zombie and take the usual -1 engaged in melee penalty...

Will try to remember that next time! Thanks! :-)

In all day training if my posts are a bit short winded today. Continue playing, however.

Nobody has tried overcharging their laser yet, just sayin'

I've been thinking about this as well, but figured the RGN would not hate us so much as to make it necessary... Obviously, I was wrong...

I'm ignoring Hotwire's addition of turmoil into his attack - as

1. Not really a very turmoil-y line up (1 rank + 1 person?)

2. I have not noticed it in previous attacks (sorry) and would have to roll randomly as to who is hit - this would have undoubtedly meant hitting a PC at some point.

Yeah my posts have been inconsistent because TBH I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules. I thought maybe I finally had it after kalajel explained it to me in this thread but now I don't know... :-(

Actually I was adding a bonus before but in my latest post I added a penalty.

80% of the SS rules are DS rules. So you are doing double duty when you learn them! No problem.

This fight defined in one gif

LOL!

So wait, what are the correct conditional modifiers to use for shooting into a turmoil? Looking at the rules now it says +1 to CTN per melee participant but you risk hitting an ally. What happens if you spend a round aiming?

They might not make it clear, but I always interpret the rules so that the turmoil bonus is optional, otherwise ranged attackers have the potential of being really detrimental to the party. Otherwise, you can simply use the rule about "Shooting and Obstacles" on the same page, on the next column.

Kala and I are one on this thought

Ah! Well that certainly helps. Thanks, guys! :-)
