Supplemental Combat Rules

HIT LOCATION AND DAMAGE

Called Shots - Ranged and Close Combat

Attacks are generally aimed with the intention of striking an opponent--somewhere.  Wounding hits employ the standard, somewhat abstracted, damage system.

A character can aim at a specific small target or body part (e.g. chest, arm or leg, abdomen), thus incurring the following penalties:.

-1 die for a torso-sized target
-2 dice for a limb-sized target
-3 dice for a head-sized target (hands, feet, neck, groin)
-4 dice for finger-sized target (eyes, ears)

Against an armoured target, a character can attempt to hit a vulnerable spot or "chink in the armour":

-3 dice for armour piercing shot: halves armour

She had been so many people in so short a time: The Southern academic to get into the Research Centre and cast suspicion on the SRID, Dawn the girlfriend to Oscar, Gabrielle the spy when they had planned the op, and Summer when they were done and alone. Alone at last.

Oscar sent the final spike through the remote server. The entire Temple Heights Research Center mainframe would crash without a backup. All the security footage of the infiltration, all traces of the virus Dawn had uploaded onto their system and preliminary scans of the The New Avalon Cycle would be lost.

You know it’s been a momentous session when the successful completion of a months-long op is the least interesting thing that happens. In other news, revelations! Twists! Meta-knowledge that can finally be brought in game! And just in time, too, as we prepare for a month-long hiatus before next game.

A small side-issue wound up taking the entire night to complete, much to the consternation of Georges the GM. On the other hand, we have all our crates back and are pretty sure we’re once more in the targeting hairs of the SRID. Again.
