Your STORY post was fine, Phaia.  I meant your double post in OOC.  :P  I've commented on that before, if you'll recall?<br/><br/>Superfluous tricks with font aren't needed.<br/><br/>Your roll is 2d6 +2 for the ship +2 for the guns...total of 11.  Which earns the good Captain a Vehicle die, but the actual resolution of this depends on how Bishrook rolls at the end of the round.  So now you get to edit your last post to include your roll.<br/><br/>Go back to PDQ# and read up on Duels (as opposed to Challenges).  Vehicular Combat is like a Duel with a subroutine (that's PC actions) to generate the dice needed.  It sounds more complicated than it is.  If we were sitting around a kitchen table, this'd be clear.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Here's where we are now.</span><br/><br/>Captain Maroon gave the orders.  Starts with one Vehicle Die.<br/>First Mate is...(unassigned)  Which is okay, because Goshawk isn't damaged yet.<br/>Master of Arms...Hairy.  Roll passed with flying colors.  +1 Vehicle Die<br/>Master of Guns is Phaia.  Roll passed.  +1 Vehicle Die.<br/>Sailing Master is bishrook.  Roll passed. +1 Vehicle die.<br/><br/>So bishrook, as the Captain, gets to decide how to allocate the four Vehicle dice.<br/><br/>All-out attack?<br/>Favor offence?<br/>Favor Defence?<br/>All-out defense?<br/><br/>Then she rolls all 4 dice, keeps the highest three, and applies them to both attack and defense.<br/><br/>Attack is +2 for the ship and +2 for Guns.<br/>Defense is +2 for the ship and +2 for Armor.<br/><br/>The Imperials will have their own values shortly.  Goshawk's Attack is compared to their Defense, and their Attack is applied to Goshawk's Defense, just as if this were a duel between characters.<br/><br/>all clear so far?
