Chapter 2: The Wayward Wind

If you have any plan to resolve this peacefully, try it now, probably will involve a SOC roll with some skill. Otherwise, each of these three characters must roll initiative: 2D6 + DEX or INT.

KCC, the Commander is going to need a bit more convincing: a routine (6+) Persuasion (Soc) check should do it. Unfortunately, Alerio isn't very pursuasive, with -3 for unskilled and another -1 for Soc, for a total of -4.

rollin....

Persuade would be 1 less.

Some useful combat rules:

Improvised Weapons: If you want to pick up a piece of furniture or break a bottle and use it as a weapon, improvised weapons do 2D-2 damage. Melee (unarmed) is the appropriate skill to use with those kinds of weapons.

Melee attacks: A melee attack is made with either STR or DEX as the modifier, and the appropriate skill to match the melee weapon you're using. You add your STR modifier to the damage.

House Rule on Parrying/Dodging: Rather than use the cumbersome reaction system in MgT2e, we'll take a page from Cepheus Deluxe and apply this rule regarding Parrying and Dodging:

In ranged combat, apply the target’s Gun Combat skill (if any) as a negative DM to all incoming ranged attacks. In melee combat, apply the target’s Melee Combat skill (if any) as a negative DM to all incoming melee attacks. Immobile or unaware targets do not enjoy this defensive benefit. Note that this modifier is not cumulative with any cover modifiers; use the higher of the two modifiers when shooting at a target in cover.

Forgot to add dex to attack, should be 6 total.
