Brac tries to work the controls to avoid getting hit, but the Garn is on target and tags your Silverback for 30 MD damage. Its not serious yet, but any damage is not good.

The missiles fly out and hit the Garn, and the damaged armor is not sufficient to withstand the impact and is destroyed.

Garn #3 did not like the fact that Jake just shot his buddy with some missiles, so he decides to try and shoot you with its blaster. It will hit unless you dodge.

Noticing the damage that Garn 2 had already sustained, Ian aimed his Nova's beam cannon at it and fired off a single shot.
[I don't actually know what bonus I get, but with a nat20, I'm going to just assume it hits. 26 Mega Damage.]

Legs (2) - 50 each
** Main Body - 170
* Destroying one hover jet reduces the maximum speed of the Cyclone by 33%, and the pilot must operate the vehicle in Battloid mode. Destroying two thrusters makes it impossible to fly in Earth-like gravity, and it can only be flown in space or underwater at 10% of its top speed. To shoot out a hover jet or any item marked by a single asterisk, the attacker must make a successful "Called Shot" with the following penalties: Shooting at a stationary target -4, moving target -6, and fast moving target -11 to strike. These penalties also apply to targeting the head and other small targets.

Weapon Systems:
1. 80mm Beam Cannon: This large-bore laser rifle is the Nova's main weapon. It sits on top of the forearm and is powered by a Protoculture magazine that attaches to the back of the weapon. It was designed specifically for space combat, though it can be used underwater and in an atmosphere. This weapon is the precursor to the EP-37 pulse beam rifle. It fires single shots as well as three-shot bursts.
Primary Purpose: Assault.
Secondary Purpose: Defense.
Weight: 30 pounds (13.5 kg).
Range: 4,000 feet (1,219 m).
Mega-Damage: 3D6 M.D. for a single blast, 1D4x10+6 M.D. for a three round burst.
Rate of Fire: Each blast or burst uses one of the pilot's attacks.
Payload: 90 single shots or 30 three-round bursts per Protoculture magazine.
Bonus {for Cyclones): + 1 to strike for a single shot, no bonus for bursts.
2. GR-101 Mini-Missile Delivery System (2): These two missile pods hold four mini-missiles each and are located on the front of the rear thrusters. They can be fired in either mode and provide the VR-021 with good striking power. In hovercycle mode, they are located behind and to the sides of the rider.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Mecha/Anti-Armor.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Missile and Anti-Aircraft.
Weight: Each missile weighs about five pounds (2.25 kg).
Range: One mile (1.6 km).
Mega-Damage: Per type of mini-missile, but usually loaded with HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) missiles which inflict 1D4x10 M.D. per missile.
Rate of Fire: One or in volleys of 2, 4, 6 or all 8.
Payload: Eight mini-missiles total (four in each missile pod).
3. GR-95 Mini-Missile Delivery System: Located on either side of the off-hand forearm shield is a mini-missile pod containing two missiles. It is similar to the other cyclone forearm mini-missile launchers, except that it is more of an enclosed system to ensure that the missiles are not damaged by the rigors of combat in space or other hostile environments. Otherwise, they function exactly like the GR-97. Note: May replace these mini-missile launchers with any of the modular weapons
available to the Cyclone.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Mecha/Anti-Armor.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Missile and Anti-Personnel.
Weight: Four pounds (1.8 kg) for each of the two launchers, and each missile weighs about five pounds (2.25 kg).
Range: One mile (1.6 km).
Mega-Damage: Per mini-missile, but usually loaded with HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) missiles which inflict 1D4x10 M.D. per missile.
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of two, three or all four.
Payload: Four, two mini-missiles per launcher.
4. Hand to Hand Combat Bonuses: As indicated below. All Cyclones are fast, agile Veritechs suitable for all manner of infantry combat and ground operations. They are even able to dodge and engage Invid and other large mecha, though at considerable risk.
Attacks per Melee: See bonuses, below.
Augmented P.S.: 20-30 is the most common range.
Hand to Hand Damage:
Punch/Forearm Strike: 1D6 S.D.C. + P.S. damage bonus.

OOC the nat 20 is a solid hit, doing double damage rolled, for 52 MD, not 26.
The shot files out from the Nova's arm cannon with pinpoint accuracy, slamming right into one of the weakened parts of the Garn's armor and gouging out a hefty chunk. It is still up, but it is certainly feeling the effects of the pounding.
Garn 4 fires a burst at Brac in his Silverback, but it is a clean miss as the Storyteller rolls a 2.

Brac rights the Silverback and turns back toward the enemy. He swears at the damage to his brand new ride and makes a mental note of where it took the hit.
As he drives, he keys the targeting computer and locks onto the enemy. He grips the weapon controls and as soon as his HG-140 rail gun is aimed, he fires at the damaged Garn. The massive double-barreled gun comes to life and blasts a 10-round burst of armor-piercing sabot.

It was designed specifically for space combat, though it can be used underwater and in an atmosphere. This weapon is the precursor to the EP-37 pulse beam rifle. It fires single shots as well as three-shot bursts.
Primary Purpose: Assault.
Secondary Purpose: Defense.
Weight: 30 pounds (13.5 kg).
Range: 4,000 feet (1,219 m).
Mega-Damage: 3D6 M.D. for a single blast, 1D4x10+6 M.D. for a three round burst.
Rate of Fire: Each blast or burst uses one of the pilot's attacks.
Payload: 90 single shots or 30 three-round bursts per Protoculture magazine.
Bonus {for Cyclones): + 1 to strike for a single shot, no bonus for bursts.
2. GR-101 Mini-Missile Delivery System (2): These two missile pods hold four mini-missiles each and are located on the front of the rear thrusters. They can be fired in either mode and provide the VR-021 with good striking power. In hovercycle mode, they are located behind and to the sides of the rider.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Mecha/Anti-Armor.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Missile and Anti-Aircraft.
Weight: Each missile weighs about five pounds (2.25 kg).
Range: One mile (1.6 km).
Mega-Damage: Per type of mini-missile, but usually loaded with HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) missiles which inflict 1D4x10 M.D. per missile.
Rate of Fire: One or in volleys of 2, 4, 6 or all 8.
Payload: Eight mini-missiles total (four in each missile pod).
3. GR-95 Mini-Missile Delivery System: Located on either side of the off-hand forearm shield is a mini-missile pod containing two missiles. It is similar to the other cyclone forearm mini-missile launchers, except that it is more of an enclosed system to ensure that the missiles are not damaged by the rigors of combat in space or other hostile environments. Otherwise, they function exactly like the GR-97. Note: May replace these mini-missile launchers with any of the modular weapons
available to the Cyclone.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Mecha/Anti-Armor.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Missile and Anti-Personnel.
Weight: Four pounds (1.8 kg) for each of the two launchers, and each missile weighs about five pounds (2.25 kg).
Range: One mile (1.6 km).
Mega-Damage: Per mini-missile, but usually loaded with HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) missiles which inflict 1D4x10 M.D. per missile.
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of two, three or all four.
Payload: Four, two mini-missiles per launcher.
4. Hand to Hand Combat Bonuses: As indicated below. All Cyclones are fast, agile Veritechs suitable for all manner of infantry combat and ground operations. They are even able to dodge and engage Invid and other large mecha, though at considerable risk.
Attacks per Melee: See bonuses, below.
Augmented P.S.: 20-30 is the most common range.
Hand to Hand Damage:
Punch/Forearm Strike: 1D6 S.D.C. + P.S. damage bonus.
Power Punch: 1D4 M.D., but counts as two melee attacks.
Kick or Stomp Attack: 2D6 S.D.C.
Power Kick: 1D6 M.D., but counts as two melee attacks.
Jump Kick or Leap Kick: 3D6 S.D.C. + P .S. damage bonus.
A power leap is not possible. Counts as two melee attacks.
Flying Leap Kick: 5D6 S.D.C. + P.S. damage bonus, but counts as three melee attacks.
Body Block/Ram: 2D6 S.D.C. (P.S. damage bonus does NOT apply) on a body block/ram per 20 mph (32 km) up to 140 mph (224 km). There is a 01-65% chance of knocking down an opponent of equal size or up to 50% larger, or smaller, off their feet. In any case, the victim of knockdown loses initiative and two melee attacks. This attack counts as two of the Cyclone's melee attacks.
Hovercycle Mode:
* Headlights (2) - 2 each
* Rear Thrusters (2) - 25 each
* Thruster Missile Launchers (2) - 30 each
* Front Hover Jet - 20
** Main Body - 170
Battloid/ Armor Mode:
Helmet/Head - 55
* Main Hover Jets (2; back) - 45 each
* Main Vectored Thruster (I, lower back) - 25
* Thruster Missile Launchers (2) - 30 each
Forearm Shields - 60 each
Beam Cannon (1, handheld) - 50
Armored Forearm Missile Launchers - 30 each (both on one arm)
Legs (2) - 50 each
** Main Body - 170
* Destroying one hover jet reduces the maximum speed of the Cyclone by 33%, and the pilot must operate the vehicle in Battloid mode. Destroying two thrusters makes it impossible to fly in Earth-like gravity, and it can only be flown in space or underwater at 10% of its top speed. To shoot out a hover jet or any item marked by a single asterisk, the attacker must make a successful "Called Shot" with the following penalties: Shooting at a stationary target -4, moving target -6, and fast moving target -11 to strike. These penalties also apply to targeting the head and other small targets.
** Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body destroys the Cyclone, rendering it useless, but the CVR-3 body armor should keep the character alive for a while.
