Combat Posting
In order to keep a play-by-post game moving along at a good clip, there are a few policies I like everyone to follow.
First, as combat begins I will ask for your initiative roll and first action. This means I want you to include, in your next post, include your initiative roll and the first action you take in the current combat.
After your description of what you are doing in the post, please include an Out-of-Character part. Please put your OoC sections in Orange at the end of the post. Please include, in approximately this order:
Your Actions, as named on pg 237 of the Rogue Trader book, in Chapter XI: Playing the Game.
Your rolls, as required by your actions.
After your rolls, please indicate whether your check succeeds and what degree of success you achieved.
EXAMPLE!
Sergeant Incendis and Battle-Brother Mephis are watching a horde of orks approach. They wait until the orks are within bolter range, then raise their weapons. Aiming down the sight, Incendis lights on a particularly ugly specimen. He squeezes the trigger, Mephis firing right along with him.
Aim for +10
Semi-auto burst
Incendis rolled 40 -- 1 degree of success using the Deathwatch system with a target number of 46. Bolter.
Incendis rolled 8 using 1d10+3 Bolter damage.
If on the enemy's turn they hit you with an attack, roll your parry or dodge on your own turn. If you successfully parry or dodge, include that message and a description in your next combat post.
