Sweet! Everybody else take note, and S'kaar that increases your damage too!

Does a Mind Coercer's Mental Push allow me to make a creature attack itself?

Mental Push:
  At-will, psi, psychic
  Standard action
  Ranged 10
  1 creature d20+4
  cha + level vs. will
  cha mod psychic damage, and target makes a basic attack against a creature of your choice

Open Question #2 (see msg 42 for Question #1)

I think the ranged attack bonus is miscalculated on my character sheet.

For a Heavy Ranged Weapon (2 handed?) shouldn't it be:
     (DEX or INT Mod) + (Level) + Weapon Accuracy

Thanks :)

In reply to Bedlam Jones (msg #43):

Heavy is str or con base I thought.

Hmm I'm going to say no on this one, I think the way attack in defined in 4e you can't do it to yourself. So to speak ;)

And thanks for stepping up with the posting folks :) Will have to put my post deadline back to tomorrow though, got lumbered with a late day at the office.

Are we gonna be able to roll on the new mutation table? I think we have a lot of doubling up on the mutation side here...

If it's online somewhere, yes!

In reply to Multi-Roach (msg #44):

Thanks! 'fraid I'm likely to have lots o' questions since I don't have easy access to any 4th ed books.

So Ranged Weapon "to hit" bonus is based on STR/CON, eh?
Does tend to make everyone the same, don't it...
(sshh... no poking fun at the system!)

Just heavy attacks.

20:36, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 21 using 1d20+8. Yet Another Ranged Attack.  Versus AC I think.

This one might actually hit!  So...

20:38, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 6 using 1d12. Damage.

ARGH!  Point-blank enemy spawnage!

Move to shift one square (I18)
Minor to shift weaponry

These little buggers are probably fireproof, too...

So we can move after attacking? Wouldn't that - disengaging from melee by more than 5' - prompt an AoO from Flora?

Oh well spotted Bedlam, sorry 'bout that. Let me think about what to do in this case. I'll probably just wipe out the attack, will post later today...

Flora, if that attack on your hadn't happened, would you still have used your second wind?

I am going to edit out the attack on you, so feel free to retcon your post if desired...

Nothing would have changed.

While we're at it Ordus you used a minor and move action but no attack??

Look at the order of my actions: MOVE to shift one square without drawing an AoO from the bot, and then MINOR to switch weapons (not safely done in contact!).  I'm not sure that I have any Standard actions that would allow me to attack--character sheet doesn't mention any, but I may have overlooked something terribly obvious.

Oooh good point :) OK Merlot, it's up to you now!

Otherwise I'd be tearing into these (regrettably probably fireproof) bots. :)

So, a couple of points to confirm:
1. We're leaving the pickup (too rugged to take into the sprawl).
2. What about the Opossum?
3. We'll what to haul in food and water if possible. (Found water is risky - 1 in 20 chance of Suburb water putting you in a Dying condition.)

And some questions:
1. Refering to our map, is Compton considered in the Suburbs?
2. And it's 18hrs walking to get to South River?
3. And another 6 to get from the river to the Light Industrial Zone (LIZ)?
4. Does our map indicate who controls the bridge across the river?

If most of the answers are in the affirmative, we're looking at 2+ days to get to the LIZ. That's a lot of provisions and a long way to retreat.

Maybe we should consider exploring the Suburbs until we know who is where (i.e. improve our map)? We can look for secure waypoints / campsites to be used in future, longer expeditions.

What say ye?

Very good questions! In fact I was about to pose the exact same ones myself, so please go ahead and decide. Meanwhile, Merlot is AWOL so have room for another player if any of you know anyone who might feel like some Gamma World :)

OOC: Yah, yah, good questions. But some of'm are for you to answer :)

Where is Compton with respect to the Suburbs?
Do we know who controls the bridge across the South River?

Oops, Compton is a couple of kilometers from the edge of the suberbs, which begin after a shallow escarpment. The Sprawl is situated in a river vally, and so invisible from Compton.

No to you second question!

Folks, you can assign each party member a role for your travels.

Mapper (one PC only). Relevant skill: Science or Perception
Forager (one or more). Relevant skill: Nature
Scavenger (one or more). Relevant skill: Nature or Science
Lookout (one or more). Relevant skill: Perception

Forager looks for food and water, Scavenger for salvage.

In reply to The Shadow (msg #64):

I call Scavenger! Obviously...hehehe
