Re: Ancestor's Arrival
Pacomio's TN is 12 (Control 8 + Security 4), so that's two successes, which is all that's needed for a ranged weapon attack.
Damage is a number of Challenge Dice equal to 4 + Security Discipline, so 8 for Pacomio's Phaser Rifle.
14:25, Today: StarMaster, on behalf of Pacomio 'Bugeyes' Starbird, rolled 8d6 ((1,1,3,1,5,2,1,6)).
That's 8 damage plus two Effects.
Added to Logan's 6 damage overloads the robots defensive shield (4 points) letting 10 points get through. The robot explodes! No one is close enough to be damaged by the explosion.
