Subject: Odd Rigging Situation....
Date: Fri, 8 May 1998 10:06:21 -0500
Ok guys, I ran into an odd situation last night, and want some
opinions. My players were fighting some bug spirits, and the rigger
had a doberman drone. One of the bug spirits had a nice high initiative,
charged the drone, grabbed it, and lobbed it at a wall. (It had to go through
two PC's to get there). Great Cinematic's, but how in the heck do you
figure damage?? The spirit had a strength of 10, so I had a power
level of five, ended up doing serious damage to the drone, and moderate
to the players. But this was arbitrary if anything.
Anyone pulled this one? I was thinking the collision rules would work,
if I figured out how fast I could throw a drone. :)
Anyway..one PC ended up dead, the rest made it out, and have a new
respect for bugs. :)
(And I didn't get home until 2AM, so if this is incoherent, please
ignore me :))
