OOC Chat

Should we set up a Discord server for more efficient OOC communication?

Addendum: I considered playing as an Hospitalier but I've been running too many medical characters these days

I am extremely new to Discord and don’t check it nearly as often as I should. That said I can create a group if you like?

We hates the Discord precious yes, yes we hates it!

Hello, welcome to your first Combat.

One of you gets to go first (You can either choose who as a group or simply whomever posts first.) and then one of the Hormagaunts until everyone has gone. I believe you have 2 glory points that you (as a group) can choose to use if you wish any two of you to seize initiative and thus have three of you go before the Hormagaunts!

What a day.

What a lovely day!

@Ysolde What's our distance to the hormagaunts? Based on picture and description room is at least 50 meters long and 50 is more than most of wh40k weapon long range not to mention medium and short, so this should affect our attack rolls shouldn't it? I'm used to play WH40 combat on a battle map and will need some guidance on playing without

@Greyworld
I know theatre of the mind can be a bit tricksy. I did figure you've moved about 25 meters into the room before the table lit up. That gives you 25 meters from the Hormagaunts. The Hormagaunts are speed 8 so once they sprint (24 meters) they will be in close range, and they will likely take a action for -2 DN.

Actions available in combat:
- One Movement or Movement Option.
---Running you may move double your movement and lose a simple action
---Sprinting you may move triple your movement and lose a combat action
- One Action, sometimes called a ‘Combat Action’ for clarity.
- One Simple Action.
- One Reflexive Action.

Multiple actions:
Sometimes you might need to sprint and have a combat action or run and take a simple action. Maybe you need to give an inspiring speech while you perform medicae and fire at the enemy. Taking multiple actions reduces each action by 2 dice. You may not, in any case, every take more than one attack action unless you have a feat or special ability that allows it.

I'll add this to the combat section for ease of reference.

Wait, the range translates directly to meters? I assumed it was a relative thing since a boltgun has 120m range in all the other rpgs and the lore...

As the "Multi-Attack" option included in v2.1. rules banned here? I've designed my PC with that rule in mind to be honest

Is this test a simple or combat action?

Sorry to add to the barrage of questions, but my Sister is immune to some effects. Is this included?

Our dominion would love to go first! I say its our Sister Superior's shout, though

Okay re-looking at the Ranges it seems like Wrath and Glory is the wonky one. Every other Warhammer data source suggests much higher ranges. So, I think the ranges were intended to be inches or centimeters just like if we were playing tabletop. With that in mind lets rejigger the ranges by a factor of 10. (In what world would a Sniper Rifle have a long range of 46 meters? Maybe 460 and even then...)
Multi-Attacks work similarly to Multi-Actions; every additional attack increases the Defence of every target by +2 for the purposes of the Multi-Attack. Each attack of your Multi-Attack must use the same weapon, and you cannot Shift as part of a Multi-Attack. Roll damage once, and apply the result to every target hit. (I was reading 2.0 this has been added to the combat section)
If she is immune to fear effects, then yes. If she's immune to Xenos powers then no, this is a simple fear test based on the dead body collapsed on the table.
This is a free action. Everyone can make the test without actually taking their turn.

Did I miss any questions?

She's immune to fear, yes

So, to clarify. I like role-playing as leaders, and I like playing as gruffy leaders or silent ones. However, I believe this is just mostly flavor, with only the added benefit of Domitia of trying to help the DM to steer the party in the right direction.

I hate micromanaging other players in combat.

I would, however, strongly suggest to have anyone who can either buff or use some big guns to go first.

In any case, I have a multi-melta. Here I don't think it might make a difference, but maybe against more heavily armored enemies it could be neat.

I seem to remember two of our sisters can actually buff?

I feel dumb because the Pic in the thread and the Pic in the profile are different. I totally thought we had more sister with us

Jeez, let's just shoot some xenos

Usually I have a first come first served policy. I don’t think anyone here is arguing against that beyond a request for buffs or big guns which probably makes sense.

Oh yes

On the other hand, Dark Eldar Hormagaunts sound terrifying...
