Hello, some questions while filling my sheet, directed to @htech but anyone else also feel free to say something if you saw it while doing yours

1- The to hit attack in weapons would be the 2d6 + modifier that fits (str/dex) + (level with the weapon). In my case, where i do not have a level in shooting and have a -1 in shooting that means that my to hit roll would be a 2d6-3? as per the rules if i do not have a 0 level i get a -2 penalty?

2- Just a quality of life thing, if there's a way to add more rows to the itens part of the sheet, i did not manage to fit all my starting itens, and i plan to be a loot goblin

3- Is there anywhere in the book that gives a correlation between skill tests and what applicable modifier i should use or do we go on a case by case basis? if so, what should i put in the roll in the sheet? just the dice? the dice + skill level?

- Updates! I forgot to put Maya's equipment package here. I went with
'medic', which means Maya is extremely poor (25 credits, help your girl out, guys), but at least she has some stuff to heal everyone. lmao. I'll be creating my character sheet as well :)

1. To make an attack roll is different from a skill check. For an attack, the assailant rolls 1d20 and
adds their attack bonus, their applicable skill level (or -2 if you don't have that skill) and the attribute modifier most relevant to the weapon. Before you changed, your shooting was, in the same order as above, 1d20 +0 -2 -1 = 1d20-3

2. Added to the template. But as you probably already created one, we will have to change your source code. After you submit your sheet I can edit, as well.

3. Case by case. You can either put the most common attribute in the sheet just to facilitate rolling (ex: write Dex/Pilot as your skill, adding all the modifiers) or put just the skill (ex: Pilot) and you put the dice and level but add the attribute modifier during the game, before you post. It will be easier to see how the sheet integrates with the dice once you have submitted.

4. OK! Shoot it is.

@htech i remade my sheet with the new template so that we don't have to change the source code, if there's anything i need to change just let me know.

p.s.: i now have a 2d6-1 inseaddof 2d6-3 on shooting, so no need to hit the deck as soon as i grab the handle guys =)

I forgot to change one of the attributes to 14 (Contituition), since i rolled my attributes using 3d6. For my character's background, I've chosen Thug . That gives her Any Combat as her free skill. I chose Stab and Survive from the Learning Table. Her class is Warrior , giving her an extra focus. The foci I've chosen for her are: Close Combatant (conceding her an extra Any Combat) , and Gunslinger (conceding her Shoot) . The extra free skill she gains from the final touches is Punch . As she has +1 Constitution modifier, i'll roll her hit points in this post and consider +1 to my hit point.

# The charecter attributes are:
- Strength = 14 (mod +1)
- Dexterity = 9
- Constitution = 14 (mod +1)
- Intelligence 8
- Wisdom = 9
- Charisma = 8

# The character has these given skills:
- Any Combat (level 1)
- Shoot
- Survive
- Stab
- Punch

# Equipment: Soldier
- Combat Rifle (1d12 damage)
- Woven Body Armor (AC 15)
- Knife (1d4 damage)

# Items
- 80 rounds ammo
- Backpack (TL0)
- Compad
- 100 credits

@htech i've choosen the soldier package, but if i'm not able to choose it then i'll get the gunslinger one.. let me know pls :)

Rolls

Hit Points - (1d6)

(4) = 4

Jan 15, 2024 11:43 pm
Since i've rolled a 4 hit point plus +1 from my constitution modifier my hit points = 5

@xoroede "Any combat" actually means any combat skill.

It's either Shoot, Stab or Punch. Can you review your skill choices?

You can choose any equipment package, so soldier is fine =)

@arthur12320 Fixed your ready count (the armor is ready if you are wearing it) and a couple of things but it's ok now.

I approved. It should be showing for you at the bottom of the "Rolls and Decks" section

Please roll your Int/Program DC6 here, just to learn how to do an skill check and then shoot someone wearing secure clothing (AC13) to learn how to attack.

To do so, you can just click in the sheet and (optionally) edit the reason to put the DC or AC. It will automatically fill a couple of rolls for your post.

Rolls

Int/Program - (3d6h2+1)

(521) + 1 = 8

Laser Pistol - To Hit - (1d20-1)

(16) - 1 = 15

Int/Program DC6 - (3d6h2+1)

(634) + 1 = 11

Laser Pistol - ToHit AC13 - (1d20-1)

(1) - 1 = 0

Great. will try it

P.s.: Very cool, the integrations work great, hope those rolls are not a taste of what's to come hahahaha

Rolls

Int/Program - (3d6h2+1)

(556) + 1 = 12

Laser Pistol - ToHit AC13 - (1d20-1)

(6) - 1 = 5

Laser Pistol - Damage - (1d6-1)

(5) - 1 = 4

Sup @xoroede I think that Exert is not counted as a combat skill in that case.
Quote:
You can use it as a combat skill when throwing things, though it doesn’t qualify as a combat skill for other ends.
I think you would have to choose between: punch,shoot or stab

Actually, you didn't submit your PC's avatar @arthur12320. Just click in the sheet edit button and then on "Change avatar" to submit the same image that you used above. You will be able to post as her after that and it will show her avatar instead of yours (like the universe here)

Btw if anyone is looking for some media for inspiration or just to get in the mood, I have been watching the expanse (series) can recommend it, and for something more exact, there’s a Spotify show of a star with no numbers adventure, just look for Astronomica
