Soldier + Coordination? Just guessing. Can you post your stats at the Character Description, so I know what kind of certain death duty should I send you to?

Sharship Targeting

You would use your ships targeting stat, modified by your soldier skill. Or in this case 50 + 0. = 50% in this case, since the target is not trying to evade, you will have advantage. This means that when you roll the dice, you can choose which is the tens die and which is the ones.

Multiple actions

A character may take multiple actions per turn. Each action after the first suffers a cumlative -20 modifier. So if Blent fires three times, the first shot is at 50%, the second is at 30% and the third is at 10%. This can also be used in combat to make an attack and then dodge in the same round.

Destiny Points

Every Character has something called Destiny points. Most characters have one, some have more. Destiny points can be used to improve or decrease the results of an action check or be used to increase damage (stated before rolling damage)

Thanks for the explanation, Gamemaster.

I have rolled Diplomat (-10) which I suppose goes with Intelligence (70)?

I rolled 61, so I'm thinking that's a fail unless I had Advantage somehow?

Sorry for the multiple questions, I've never played this system before :)

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 75):

None of us has. I'm going to have a ton of questions.

It will be learn as we go. Bare with it, we will get through the learning pains.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 77):

That's why I'm still here! ;-)

So, what do we do? We go in to investigate and find everything covered in protomolecule or do we want to nuke the Aslan ship from orbit, just to be sure?

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 79):

Shoot them with the lasers!

In reply to Sven Magnussen (msg # 80):

We'll get to that, don't worry :P

By the way, who's manning the sensors? I'm asking for an IR scan of the two ships to see if there's something alive in there, but not sure who has to roll.

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 81):

I'm engineering, so not me. we got a gunner, a pilot, and you.

Someone please roll me that, before we start shooting a dead ship. I bet an intact Aslan ship is worth more to the Navy than a bundle of scrap metal.

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 83):

What do I roll?

Helmsman or Engineer? With Perception or maybe Intelligence? A question for Gamemaster, really.

On re-reading, I'm realizing I didn't really explain myself very well there. What I meant is, can someone roll for the IR scans Daphne asked for? I am guessing it is either Helmsman or Engineer, with Intelligence (if we consider it is about using tech to run that scan) or Perception (if we consider that the scan is run, and then it is up to the human operator to make sense of the readings).

But those are just my 2 cents, I might be totally wrong.

08:45, Today: Sven Magnussen rolled 70 using 1d100.  sensors.

I don't know how to read or modify yet. Int. is 55 so I failed?

Unless you have 15+ on Helmsman or Engineering, I suppose? And you don't :P since the most we have right now is 0 (as in, non-negative).

Now, if I'm reading the manual right, you can spend 1 point of Destiny to upgrade your result by 1 degree: bump critical failure to normal failure, normal failure to success, or success to critical success. I don't know how many Destiny point you have (I have 2) or how/when do they refresh, but I don't think it's such a crucial moment that we should be spending them yet.

Unless we think we'll be refreshing them soon-ish, in which case why the hell not use them, I suppose. But this is guesswork.

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 88):

I have 0 destiny points.

Destination Anywhere.

Can I use those life sensors here?

Ping.

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 92):

GM appears to have got busy for a few days. Maybe she is in Texas?

I don't like snow. Being this cold isn't natural!

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 94):

Time to cuddle!

Weighted blankets and hot tea is the way to go :)

Even the gas fireplace needs electricity to work!
