2 Success for Medicine Check

Maxim's rolled a 3 and 6. I believe Medicine is one of his Tag skills at current rank of 3. Note: If your roll for a Tag skill equals or less than its rank, then it counts as a critical success earning 2 successes instead of 1. Maxim's total successes would be 3, and he needed 2 successes. Maxim can bank the extra success as AP for the party.

Party AP = 1/6

[tyrtaeus]

Oh dope, thank you, I missed that.

Yeah, I don't understand why I join PbP during the holidays. I've been playing online for over 10 years. I don't know why to expect anything different. I just have to be patient. I'm currently in 4 PbP games atm (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, homebrew diceless zombie, Marvel Multiverse RPG, and this Fallout 2d20).

Minor Action: Aim

Major Action: Shoot at Rad Rocky's head [+1 Difficulty]

@tyrtaeus, always roll 2d20 or repeat(1d20, 2) UNLESS you spend AP for more attack dice. We as a party have 1/6 AP. 1st extra die cost 1AP.
THEN you would roll 3d20 or repeat(1d20, 3). Normally, you have to get at least 1 success to hit BUT with each Difficulty you add 1 additional success needed to hit target. In your case, you would need 2 successes. Any extra successes you should add to party AP which you could use to boost your damage. I believe Aim allows you to re-roll 1 d20 on your first roll.

[Passione]

To add to the point of buying d20s using group AP or giving the DM AP (costing 1, 3, and 6 AP respectively), you both had more successes than the difficulty for that Medicine check. I think we have three AP.

I also have a few questions. What is the environment like? How far are we from the entrance? From the raiders? If possible, how much do we have to move to use the vault door or walls as cover?

@Passione We would have 3 AP for party assuming the medicine check initially Difficulty 0 (routine check). @Laird_Thorne If you ask for a check, do we assume it's Difficulty 1 or Difficulty 0 before adding any modifiers?

Also, does Rad Rocky have any Defense? I'm assuming most creatures have Defense 1 unless stunned or paralyzed.

[sxeBUDDHA]

@tyrtaeus If you manage to deal 5+ critical damage to his head, it'd be awesome!

Yes, you all have 3 AP to spend currently. Assume a difficulty 1, and in this case you are correct that RR and the Raiders are all Defense 1.

Says you! He might have something else to say about it.... LOL

 

BTW, I just added more info to the Clarifications thread in the App section. Stuff about Action points and expenditures, and Combat details. :)

[tyrtaeus]

A crit headshot would be nice. I should probably roll damage dice if you're confirming defense is all 1 then, since I aimed at his head and got a critical, meaning it meets the Difficulty 2 threshold right?

Rad Rocky is described as bald, so no armor. You rolled 5 damage with no damage mitigation, tyrtaeus!


Critical wound!

[sxeBUDDHA]

I need to add Lucky [Dogmeat] additional damage.

Edit: Holy Moly, taking 2nd actions for only 3 additional damage after spending 3AP and 1 extra Luck point.

I was thinking maybe we could defuse the mines.

[rorytheromulan]

Based on a reply under an application thread, I gotta ask for clarification - is it 2d20 per roll, or just 1d20? I found an official-looking pdf to read through that says it's 2d20, +1d20 per spent AP up to max of 5d20. Was that right? Is there a house rule on this, or do I just have the wrong source?

[Passione]

You got that right. 2d20 is the base.

Yes, you're correct. :) all rolls are at least 2d20.
