"...I think we go together. Best blunt their claws first above all else."

[Criptfeind]

((Does my firepower bonus apply to power strikes? Not that, you know, one damage is a large difference. But the principle of the matter! Also for the power punch thing the deal is that I need to be in jet mode for three rounds before using it right?))

[SOLDIER First]

Continue on cautiously, looking in the taller buildings first.

((Yeah, firepower boosts all your Oids damage to internal equipment and weapons. IF I left that out in the turn, I'll fix it now...

And, you can use striker punch anytime at 1d6 damage-but, every turn in jet mode gives it a plus 2 boost to damage, to a maximum of three rounds-so at best, you're gonna do 1d6+6+1.

Edit: Also, I should mention, your power is low because I'm being very careful with balancing damage. I'm already seeing some situations where people could die in a single hit, and I really would rather avoid that...))

"Scan complete," Riu said simply.

"You should surrender or withdraw!" she shouted to Andrake. "You can't take too many more hits like that."

She then prepared herself to assist Septima in whatever way she could. She knew the odds of Andrake following her advice were slim at best, and she was no use in direct combat here. Septima would likely have use of an extra pair of hands, eyes, or just her revolver, small though it was.

Try briefly to diplomacy or at least demoralize Andrake. If/when that fails, aid whatever action Septima attempts.

((Would it make more sense for RIU to have my sniper rifle at this point? I probably should have thought of it before we entered combat but perhaps better late then never? It's not the most amazing weapon, but it's a bit better then a handgun.))

[Errol]

((So you're planning on giving a sniper rifle to someone who has perhaps never handled one before, and expect them to be as good with it as a robot who was engineered for this? ))

[SOLDIER First]

((Fox: "Let me try!"

"Sorry about your arm, RIU..
and your other arm..
and Striker's torso.."

((Oh the cheesy-happy memories I get when I see those things xD
ow my nostalgia.))

((Well, when Riu can matrix download a few years equivalency of sniper rifle training into her head, it becomes far more likely ))

((I had to look up Massive Recoil (halves defense while firing, apparently), at which point it occurred to me that HAH! I'm not wearing any armor to begin with!

Only problem is that you might have to lose a turn to go hand it to me. Another attack from you and Septima might end this anyway.))

[Dwarmin]

((Yeah, massive recoil weapons essentially leave you immobile-the weapon is something like an Anti-materiel rifle.

Also, I'd say giving a weapon to someone in close proximity wouldn't eat a turn.

Just go 'Catch, Booker Riu!'))

[Dwarmin]

((Bumping for my...players? O_o ))

[Errol]

Uh, continue the dodging, pulling aggro and getting in a rifle potshot or two on Andrake?

[Criptfeind]

((Riiiiiiight. Sorry about that.))

Striker will throw his sniper rifle to RIU and then do another power strike on Andrake with his lance.
