|
|
| I finally got into a group I wanted to join who rejected me for many years. All of the group when to collage but one who became the Gm. He got some of my and his friends to play a new campaign. The others are all new to the game, but i'm more experienced playing SW even though I'm a noob. the campaign is mainly post-nuclear. I'm a psionic goat-man, the rest are all human, one guy plays a blind girl, one has a habit of drinking blood, one is a monk who got his left arm broken by one of my chain lightning powers (bolt power) an he weilds two-handed weapons, and a guy with a shotgun. it gets worse, the "vampire" started working for the major villain (His name's Baxter), a bio-terrorist, and gave him the data-capsule (which looks like a big blue pill, like the ones from the matrix but bigger) he was looking for, then baxter's 8 guards (all weilding uzi's) opened fire on the vampire. the rest of the party was behind a rock, and I, exausting my last pp's, used chain lightning of baxter, getting the drop, and I did around 64 damage to baxter with a toughness of 6, but the GM used all his bennies to soak and he, if not had soaked would be dead, escaped. We battled the guards, and I, being a psionic, was crazy enough to try running up to a guard a SUCESSFULLY disarmed the guard's uzi, caught it in mid-air and knocked him out with it in one action. And now we finally have 5 exp, and the vampire basically caused us hell to pay. I had baxter with 3 wounds and shaken before he escaped in that jeep... Any suggestions on getting the capsule back? And what should I do with my exp? |

And The GM's Soak roll succeeded in soaking them all but three?!!
Which is a Vigor roll of 48 with probably a D8 Vigor and D6 Wild Die to soak 12 wounds?!!!
Either something is missing from your expanation, your GM rolled VERY good, or he fudged, 'cause this was not meant to happen. (Also, if using SW:EX, it's not sure the Villain would've died. That depends on his injury rolls.)
So, and I'm guessing here, you did 3 3D6 damage bolts on Baxter, which did 15 wounds total? But which are actually divided under 3 different bolts? Which allows for 3 Soak Rolls?

I don't know what the options are in your campaign, so I can't really say what's useful to buy. But I'll try anyway, ...
- If no-one has 'driving', take driving, or have at least someone else take driving (best: shotgun man?, worst: Blind Girl! ), otherwise it'll be a hard chase.
- Streetwise, Tracking, Persuasion, Investigation,... can all come in handy when you need to find Baxter back because he escaped.
- Extra PP Edge: pretty useful for A.B. PC's. Only once per rank,nice if you're going to 'Bolt' through your PP's a lot.
- Extra Power: Choose a useful one
- Extra Attribute increase: Only once per rank, so can be handy. If you're a Psionic, and your Psionics skill die isn't already above your Smarts, I'd increase Smarts.
- Otherwise, ... Psionics?
Just some ideas, ...
