1 Walking the Fire

Anyone else may try to Scan the wounded vessel. Scan DC10 vs Computer Skill as above, repeated below for your convenience:
Class Skill 1D20+skill rank+3+ability mod
Trained Skill 1D20+skill rank+ability mod
Untrained Skill 1D20+ability mod

I'll be piloting, so no computers checks for me. Based on the distance, I don't think there are any stunts worth doing right now. Our weapons consist of some guns on the front (where we are facing) and a turret (which works on all arcs), so facing shouldn't matter too terribly much.

Question, as I'm not confident I know from reading. When you fly, does turning cost speed, or is it something you can do as part of moving forward at no extra cost? For example, we have a speed of 6 and a turn rating of good (1), so I can turn turn after we move forward 1 hex. If i fly us forward and turn us, did that cost 2 speed (1 for forward 1 and 1 for turning 1 face) or just 1 for going forward and the turn was part of that?

I will make a Pilot Skill check for the Wounded Starship and the Fire Whale.

Pilot Actions:
Fly (move, no skill checks needed)
Maneuver (Pilot skill check, add more movement hexes)
Stunt (Pilot skill check, Back Off, Barrel Roll, Evade, Flip and Burn, Fly By, Slide, Turn in Place

Encourage:
You can encourage another member of the crew to give her a +2 bonus to her action. This works like aid another.

A skill check is required and uses the same skill as used by a crew action. In this case a Pilot skill or Computer Skill, or you can wait till Gunnery Phase which is next phase. If you succeed at a DC 10 check using the same skill, the bonus is granted.

Alternatively, you can grant this same bonus by succeeding at a Diplomacy check (DC = 15 + your starship’s tier of 1).
You can’t encourage yourself.

You must move forward 1 hex in order to make 1 facing change. This facing change (1 hex side) does not count towards movement.

The KV (don't remember what you guys decided on a ship name) has a movement of 6. So you could move 1, turn 1 (that means make a facing change, 1 hex side), move 1, turn 1, etc. for your movement, up to 6 times.

You're basically going in a straight line for six hexes even though your facing can change once for every one hex you move forward.
I hope that makes sense. These rules can be found on p. 319 Star Finder Core Rules (SFCR)

Note: I updated the Ship Sheet. I mistakenly made movement 1 instead of 6. It's corrected.

With Seer's move, I believe that just pulls us into range for the Light Laser Cannon, if no-one else wants to open fire I can do it? We don't appear to have a dedicated gunner at the moment

can pilots fire forward facing guns, or are guns only usable by gunners no matter the type? I assume if we used tiny ships like the little fighters that we would both pilot and gun, but not sure about big ships we can all fit into

Note: Great job with the ship rules and the graphic! Thanks Ironmonger!

Range is short so Aurora gets +2, as well as the Whale.

You get to fire next. Damage is applied after everyone attacks.

Assuming the pilot cannot fire the forward facing weapons, we have 2 weapons (the one I just mentioned and a turret) so anyone who has not acted yet can take one of those

Gunnery Check = 1d20
+ the gunner’s base attack bonus or the gunner’s ranks in the Piloting skill
+ the gunner’s Dexterity modifier
+ bonuses from computer systems
+ bonuses from the captain and science officers
+ range penalty

Note: in this case the Range Penalty is actually a +2 bonus.

The Gunnery check could be a control panel that operates all the weapons, so ctme2000 can make both checks one for the Lascanon and one for the Missile Launcher.

So let's say 1d20+2+2+2 = 1D20+6 vs AC 14

Note: No Encouragement from the Captain as yet.
