Mission Reports

[Sherwood]

Make a standard to-hit roll, since you are the one guiding in the indirect weapons fire. Just don't roll a 1.

 

[Purr]

Sherwood sez, "Cody's dodge effort manages to not only evade the shots, but to trim the hedges and mow some of the grass."


Ha ha ha ha! That's the funniest thing I think I've read all week! =)

 

[Sherwood]

Well, you did say you were flying low... :tongue:

 

[Purr]

I did! It's still funny! =)

 

[Sherwood]

@Dannigan, you are up next in the initiative order.

 

[SephirothSage]

Can I make dodge rolls to take hits for other people, if they failed their dodge, and are too damaged, and I'm nearby?


That is- if I'm near someone, who I know is more heavily damaged than I am- can I make a Dodge roll, to take the hit for them?

 

[Sherwood]

I will allow that. It will be a Parry roll, though. Not a dodge.

 

[SephirothSage]

Alright - and I fully expect to take the hit literally, not prevent damage entirely. Just, yknow, take one for the team in extreme situations.

 

[Sherwood]

I understand. Being willing to perform a sacrifice dive is a good way to earn some bonus xp, too.

 

[SephirothSage]

Or die. Regardless, I can think of numerous situations in which it would be an IC thing to do.

 

[JayTee]

@Sherwood: Can I use my Ajax to put out the fire in some way? Smother it with the size of the mech, blow it out with the force of the cannon's firing, etc?

 

[Purr]

If I may add to JayTee's question: Might any of us be armed with those short-range fire-retardant missiles?


EDIT: I was referring to the missile type found in Robotech RPG page 39, but after having looked up your Missile Stats post, I don't see them on there. I guess that answers that! =)

 

[Sherwood]

I will say that you can have the fire-retardant missiles loaded on one of your hardpoints, giving the Ajax a total of 5 of the special short range missiles. For the spreading fire, it will take quite a number of those to put it out, but at least you can put a dent in the spread of the fire.

 

[SephirothSage]

Personally, I already said I was packing Plasma Heat, and won't retcon it.

 

[JayTee]

What about the other methods I suggested?

 

[Sherwood]

Its an oil fire and it is spreading, so trying to smother it with your mecha won't work. You could try to contain it and keep it from spreading by making a channel for the spreading oil to run into that diverts it away from the rest of the fuel bunkers.

 

[JayTee]

I'll do that, then smother what fire is already there on my next turn. Post incoming.

 

[Sherwood]

Sounds good.

 

[JayTee]

Also, a Robotech/Exalted game must happen sometime in the future.

 

[Sherwood]

lol

 

[SephirothSage]

....Ohgod.

 

[JayTee]

Mental image: Solars on foot, punching enemy mechs to death and kicking their own missiles back at them, while allied mechs move in to flanking position to wreak some faces.


Tell me that isn't the sickest shit ever.

 

[SephirothSage]

It's almost silly.


I mean, really- a person taking on a Mech, while badass... It doesn't strike me as.. it feels kinda /wrong/, in most cases, if not very well executed.


IE, Jeremiah Gottwald gets away with it.

 

[JayTee]

Warstriders are basically just mechs, and Exalts tend to rip them apart without much trouble.


EDIT: Perfect example, a night caste Assassin

 

[Sherwood]

@ehmygirl, you are up next in the fight.
