Re: OOC Discussion
In reply to Nightmare (msg # 995):
Hmm... I this would count as "covering" someone. When you cover someone, you don't attack. Instead, you make an Agility roll and subtract -1/2/3CS (green/yellow/red) from all ranged attacks against the target you're covering. This does, of course, mean they might hit you instead...
I worked out something like this with Battalion, but I forget exactly where we landed. Do you remember, Battalion? If not we'll go with what I said above since I think it's at least close.
For combat and moving, it's more complicated. You don't really take 5-foot steps or anything in this system. You either perform an attack (moving within the same area as needed) or relocate to another area. This is what Dr. Olsen did.
If you want to try to attack AND move, I'll allow it but you'll suffer a -2CS penalty to whatever you're doing that isn't moving.
