Think it is Intelligence?

Perception is intelligence.

Thanks!

It is indeed Intelligence. Sorry that was my fault, I should have put up a conversion mechanics guide since so many of us are 1ed vets.

In reply to Game Master (msg # 60):

Ach, no worries, boss, I'll have to eventually sit down and read something more about 2ed than just the character creation;-)

Heh well stay away from any adventure material! :D

I put up a thread that hopefully should clear up some points.

Thanks for the conversion notes - much appreciated!

And Init is 1d10+AG if i recall.

You are welcome! :)



That's it, yep.

Added a few more notes on magic, though at least for the moment they only really apply to Jocelin.

In reply to Game Master (msg # 65):

Interesting there’s no cumulative spell fatigue mechanic. That is, the first spell cast has the same % chance of failure and Tzeench as the 50th. Though I suppose the constraint is the RP effects of being surrounded by people who really, really don’t want wizards ripping holes in reality near them.

Well that and the risk of the odds catching up with you if you are throwing around fistfuls of dice! ;)

If it's worth one spell, it's worth them all! Mwahhahaha!

Okay all we are looking at our first fight. This is new to me so bear with me folks!

First everyone roll initiative and post it here. The Mutants are at 36 so there is a good chance some of you will be acting ahead of them.

There are plenty of people in the Ackerplatz trying to get away but they aren't marked on the map. You can assume they'll be heading directly away from the bridge at least!

Captain Schiller, two of his men (he has half a dozen others posted at the gates) and Father Schiller are also present and have kept their heads but are for the moment busy trying to control the panic.

Time for heroes (or at least the next best thing!)

Initiative Order:

Edgar: 44
Lukas: 41
Mutants: 36
Jocelin: 33
Fyodor: 33
Harkrin: 33

18:31, Today: Jocelin Herzog rolled 33 using 1d10+30.  Initiative.

20:03, Today: Fyodor Fyodoreski rolled 33 using 1d10+31.  Initiative.

Did Fyodor get to draw his gun prior to this initiative?

Sure. Since you made your Perception roll I'm going to allow it.

07:00, Today: Lukas Kohl rolled 41 using 1d10+35.  Initiative (Ag 35 + 1d10). –

08:22, Today: Harkrin 'Klinka' rolled 33 using 1d10+24.  d10 + Ag.

Okay we are now entering combat time!

Initiative Order

Edgar: 44
Lukas: 41
Mutants: 36
Jocelin: 33
Fyodor: 33
Harkrin: 33

Edgar and Lukas you can act now, then the mutants and then Jocelin, Fyodor and Harkrin.

Prepare the Halfling Hot Pot! :D

Also DM, could you mark the spot where I saw the sniper?

Heh. :D I'll see if I can work one in!



Map updated. Fyodor only caught a glimpse in the broken window of the upper floor of the ruined coaching station (marked with an 'X' on the map.) Whatever is there seems to have drawn back from the window at the very least.

Do I need to Channel/Cast in the same round? I was thinking:

Round 1
Half: Move
Half: Channel for spell "A"

Round 2
Half: Cast spell "A"
Half: Move? Channel?

They'd be "right next to each other" in terms of my actions...

While it is ambiguous I think the intention of the rules is it has to be in the same round "if you use Channelling, casting a spell must be your next action." (My italics)

I'd suggest either spending a Fortune Point (which you recover after a night's sleep remember) to buy an extra half action this round, or forgoing Channelling to move and cast or just moving to a more advantageous position to cast next round.

My advice is to spend the Fortune Point - you succeeded in your Channelling roll anyway so best use it.

I’d like to make sure I pick the right spell. May I defer that successful Channel to next round when I cast?
