(A [ready] that has a target will proc the action as soon as the target enters range. A [ready] that has a tile as receiver will proc the action as soon as a valid target enters that space. Useful for locking down a corner, cover, or to allow an ally to venture into a beneficial effect.)
>Facing rules apply.
You can >-tap to change your facing after your final action, and otherwise will retain the facing provided by that action. If you are flanked your Block will be treated as halved, and certain enemies who are flanking a character will ignore all of their Block.

The combat system functions with all actions taken simultaneously, including enemies. Enemies will telegraph attacks be it with a crosshair which marks their target, or hazard marks on the ground which portray dangerous tiles to stand in. Targeted telegraphs track the target, but will lose effect if the enemy cannot complete the attack or action. Tile telegraphs will always proc, unless a direct means of interrupting the attack occur.

When you eventually do take a hit, the damage you take is reduced by Block (as facing appropriate), reduces your Armor, and finally reduces your Health. Armor can only be restored with Repair functions, and Health can only be restored with Healing functions. An android's [Nanomachines] however, will recover Armor and Health, but prioritizes missing Armor first, as an example. As soon as your Armor and Health are both reduced to 0, your character dies.

With that all summarized up, let's get some chargen going.

Serchin for some folk? Yer can count me in!
>>2666984
Pardn me lady, toped off more o less meself.

>>2666971
is Duck&Cover in that pic the right one or the one listed in >>2667036 ? Previous thread >>2648978 you said you mistaken some other skill for old D&C.

>>2667050
Latest image is the correct one. New threads may see adjustnents to the chargen and buffs to starting classes.

>>2667330
So for an action point it basically gives another 4 movement + prone if your last move doesn't put you behind cover?

>>2667354
4 because Desperado move is 4

>>2667354
>>2667366
As an action you move and go prone if you can't find suitable cover. Not an additional 4 due to movement, the ability is now scaled directly to character speed.

>>2667467
I dont get it.
Lets say I use up all of my 4 movement and then one of my actions to activate Duck&Cover. What can I do with it?

>>2667472
You'd specify your turn as follows:
>Move 4 [tiles]
>Duck&Cover [direction]

Character speed is how fast they move per move action, which may be where the confusion came from? By default the only way to navigate the field is with >Move but if an attack or ability says 'move' without a speed icon or number associated to it then your maximum distance allowed defaults to your character's speed stat.

>>2667518
>speed icon
>speed stat
No such thing exist in any materials you provided.
I assume you mean the boot icon and the Move stat?
If so you may have to correct your materials to prevent future confusion, mainly my future confusion.

So, I'm a desperado and I have 4 in Move/Speed stat.
I use this to move N N E E for example.
I spend one of my actions on activating Duck&Cover
I choose a direction? Lets say East.
>Move and go Prone
>if ability says 'move' without a speed icon or number associated to it then your maximum distance allowed defaults to your character's speed stat
My Move/Speed stat is 4, so I can choose to move up to 4 tiles in the specified direction, that is East, and if tile I end up on does NOT count as being in cover then I go prone.
So I cannot change the direction in the middle of doing D&C? Only move up to 4 tiles (my Move/Speed stat)in a line? That would be fair.

>>2667615
Given as I'm working a traditional medium which then is transferred to digital, I have a lot of variance behind the screen. Speed and move are the same in this game, and are used interchangeably because of this. It makes more sense to say '[x] can move 5' and '[y] benefits your speed' than locking down on one choice over the other. For grammar's sake. It also appears that you understood it well yourself, albeit with minor frustration.

Duck&Cover does allow for direction changes, as you're scrambling to find a place to avoid taking damage. In the text of my most recent post I merely accidentally forgot to include a 's' in [direction]. If you were not allowed to change direction, there would be an indicator showing an arrow such as on the Boost and Air-Boost abilities, which is the hand-drawn version of a Line (which has a digital iteration being just under Slug ammo for the [S]quire)

All of this said, I would like to point out that I'm in too deep in this game to tell how it looks to fresh eyes.

>>2667674
>'[y] benefits your speed'
How about '[y] benefits your movement'?
>I'm in too deep in this game to tell how it looks to fresh eyes
I totally understand that feel. Its a huge pain to explain from the ground up the concepts you were using for a long long time and are using as sort of memory-shortcuts, like saying 'water' when you mean any liquid while everyone else thinks you are talking about H2O exclusively.
Thats why you need to keep your description consistent, simple and specific(only one way to interpret them, the way you designed them to work). It would take an effort to do everything that way, but would save your time by not having to explain things at length over and over again. Dont take it as a complaint from me, so far I love your work but I also feel like a nuisance having to ask details to abilities that should be easy to comprehend but are presented in a way that looks complicated.
I mean, D&C for example.
All that confusion on my part, all that lengthy explanation on your, and it could be summarized by
>Duck&Cover:Spent 1 Action to refresh your move pool. After finished moving go prone unless you ended up in cover.
Because thats basically what it does, it grants you additional Move for a price of an action and forces you to go prone in the end unless the specific situation occurs, that is you end up in cover.

And now misc. questions time!

You said that getting up from prone position takes an action if done same turn after executing D&C and a Tap if in the next turn. Is that still the case?

What if someone like a Squire or Tin wants to go prone? Is it a Tap or an Action? What if they want to get up?

Also, does being in cover works by X-com cover&flanking mechanics? That is 'draw a line between you and your cover next to you, if enemy shoots from the cover side of the line, the cover works, if enemy shoots from your side of the line, you are flanked and cover doesn't work'?

>>2667829
Thing is, each >move action already gives you a 'movement pool'. You don't and can't transit to another tile unless an action is spent to do so? The way you worded it makes it sound like 5e where you have up to your movement speed to scuttle about and it doesn't take an action to do so.

Yes standing up from prone is still an action if same turn, tap if not. Players may go prone as a tap as well without requiring Duck&Cover. Operates the same in regards to prone recovery. Cover is also facing based, with few exceptions. By default, shots will target center mass/head unless specified, so line of effect is drawn to those locations. Exceptions being on [Parabola] or artillery fire [Arc Shot]s which function on odd angles or from overhead, respectively.

>>2667899
Hold up, I thought I understood how things work and now you confused me again.
>Desperado
>Actions 2
>Move 4
The way I understand this is is that you can move 4 tiles and then you have 2 actions to do whatever you want with, be it a single FanHammer, or to attack twice, or do two Double-Taps, whatever. Moving around and using your actions are two separate things.

Now in >>2667899 post you sounded like you cant move
if you don't spend an action? As in you are prohibited to move those 4 tiles and then just not do anything?

>>2668032
If you're familiar with an Action Point system, it works on the same concept. At 2 Actions you have 2 AP. Each turn you spend that AP on tasks you want your character to perform. 1 AP lets you move, attack, loot/investigate a space or creature/corpse, etc. You may spend your 'AP' in any order and combination as you desire, but commands are processed from top to bottom. Each player also gets 1 Tap action which they may use each turn, but only one. Multiple taps that are not reminders will take an action from your turn limit, and excessive actions for the turn are dropped and canceled.

Once again, to move you must use an action. After rereading I do not see any text that would insinuate otherwise.

>>2668328
Fuck.
Checked previous thread and indeed, everyone used one of their actions to move.
Then again, I didn't see anywhere mentioned that you use an action to move. Why didn't you mentioned it? Its such a basic and essential thing.

>>2668389
You know, that's a good question. I'll have to add that into the mechanics rundown. Other peeps caught on probably due to returning as players to my games, and that's almost always the standard for navigation.

Time passes... nobody deploys.

The dingy pulls up to the pier, and is tied off. Now standing in the moonlight, with the shadow of a forest to the north, the party can see tracks visible in the dirt and sand. There is also a sabotaged boat with most of its cargo plundered already. Obviously the courier was here, and must be somewhere nearby. The tire tracks head west, as do the feline. A pair of rat tracks can be seen from the water, heading north? This place isn't well known for their rat problems, as the forest has natural means of pest control.

If it would be possible to adjust your character sheets to be organized akin to Tin-chan or Epoch's sheets it would be appreciated. Greentext is reserved for command inputs, and I am worried that mistakes will be made due to possible conditioning involving ignored commands due to greentext abuse. Additionally, not including weapon skills on your equipped sheet alongside their stats will result in ignoring reminders involving their use. At a glance reading that a character is using [Deflect] but seeing it nowhere on the sheet makes it appear to be an illegal action. You're not required to have the full description, but at least the skill names would be preferred. Both of these posts were grouped together in order to address that clarity is important to the person processing, and the more often I or another QM has to look into a sheet the more often information is lost.

I will do my best to avoid mishaps and run the game honestly, but will require the same level of clarity from players. Thank you for your time.

An all too familiar warcry springs up amidst the jackhammer echoes as bullets paint a path of destruction across the field. This is Blunder territory, and the party has made an unfortunate mistake in falling for their bait.

Epoch can see a night hunter baring a torch approach from the east, seemingly following the tire tracks. In their other hand is a signature weapon of the hunting legion, an indication of their true status.

A bulk of the warband is stopped dead in their tracks, as they cannot see beyond the shine in their eyes. An artillery strike makes an unfortunate impact on a Flash Angler, causing death throes of a smaller flash to [Blind] [D4] Takahiro. Blind removes the ability to make ranged attacks or target beyond adjacent tiles. Vision is also reduced to only the character's occupied tile. Blind characters also cannot threaten their facing arc. Effects wear off quickly.

The noise has certainly attracted attention, and the flashes of light brings the courier out of hiding! They were the one leaving behind the tire tracks! A night hunter enters the scene, investigating the blunders and perhaps here to lend a hand.

Objective in sight! Secure the docks and prepare for immediate retreat once the VIP has reached the dingy.

The flare dwindles away, though as it fades the turret gunner finally falls silent, permanently. Das Katastrophe continues to provide long ranged support, merely adjusting trajectory from beyond the fog of war. The grunts, sensing an advantage, push hard into the party's frontlines which for some catches themselves in the crossfire.

A saw-toothed shark is fished out of the water, only to be felled by a barrage of bullets. Lucky.

I suspect that armor also gives prodigious amounts of Block.

"You'll lose out to the anima belcher it has on the other arm.

The experienced hunter takes to handling the frontline to buy time for the party. Meanwhile, while investigating a stray torch, a green hunter hears a whisper to the north. At the docks, a couple of innovations are found. Structure element is found in Tough materials, and Salt itself nullifies elemental affinity altogether as a Bitter agent. What potential could this bare?

With that, expect another phase to be processed after I make a run for food. There will also be another phase at the usual time that is 1~2 a.m. CST if able.

As the party pulls away, crammed into the dinghy propelled by the courier's wheel, they watch the shoreline as the hunter's torch dances back and forth before dousing itself in the water. Continued flashes of gunfire and a gout of flame springs up moments after, showing the hunter is alive and well on their way to a swift escape in the dark.

"Finally, we just keep them in storage for future use," concludes the sister. Castor puts a finger to his chin and glances to the tin can's equipment. "Want us to transfer over the bracers you've got on as well?"

>>2688410
"Yes, I would appreciate it. Though they may be simple scrap, having extra armor in the front-lines will be useful. ...I suppose I'll have to bother Tin-chan for her [Hand Launcher] after this, considering I've been relying on the old arms' [Pressurized] air cannon as a ranged weapon.

"Hm, properties? Oh you mean the [Refined] and [Gnarled] stuff? Those are materials which have a natural affinity to Industri and Wild elements respectively. Heard from a local in the Lumber Shore that both sorts can be found in surplus along those lines, being Industry aims to refine subjects while Wild aims for growth in general... I think. It's been a while since we've talked. They tend to live amid Mangrove thickets, as Blunders have a difficult time navigating the roots," informs the courier. A click and whir of a small motor beneath the helmet resonates as if a path of memory has been revealed. "Oh, if the Blunders managed to get into a bunker they might have found cultivating tools and weapons which can just cut through roots and trees."

Rummaging through their extra satchels strapped to the back of their vehicle, the courier produces a parchment and edge of charcoal. "If that's the case, you'll want to find some Flow-capable gear to work with in order to put a stop to Industri's march. There's some tribesfolk living in the deeper parts of the Lumber Shore's forest amid the capnut trees. They look like the ones housing the Grab Bag's merchant guild next to us. A peaceful bunch, and they have the means to inform you on how to handle raw elements better than I can provide."

>Quest path unlocked: Element Education I
>Objective: Search the Lumber Forest for Capnut trees, and speak to the residents living within them.

Current quest paths will be updated with next town rotation.

There's so much that I don't know... The world is much more complex that it seems. Thank you for this enlightening lecture.

Though, um... I actually wanted to learn about Drake Fruits and such. If you would grant me a bit more of your time.

A new arrival to town sets up shop just inside the gate. Looks like we have a proper quest keeper, and guild representative on our hands.

>Main Quest Lines: can only perform one of these at a time. Optional/minor quests can be completed during a main quest.

Trouble in Town (II)
>Rumblings of another infestation have arisen. Clear out the vermin before they can get a foothold in our town.

"O-oh. My mistake," recovers the courier, coughing into a fist to clear his throat before continuing. "Mandrake trees produce a lot of medicinal properties. The fruit can be blended into a milkshake, the roots can be ground into a fine powder, the flowers can be eaten raw, and the seed pods are tough enough to be used as improvised weapons. Any of the parts of the Mandrake can be consumed and will recover immediate health to any organic being. Not much for alchemy, so outside of the mundane usage I'm not too familiar with the full extent of a Mandrake's potential. Hope that helps."

Town phase turnover. Actions have been refreshed!

>>2689315
Thank you!
I think I will try to cook something up, in fact.

>Purchase sugar and a drakefruit (13z)
>Alchemize sugar + drakefruit

I think we should clear out the infestation in town.

With satchels, does the additional space go to regular inventory or materials?

>>2690266
Regular inventory. Materials can fit in capacity slots, such as those provided by vials or android hands on top of normal inventory slots.

>>2690266
Actually, redact >>2690598
It'll be easier to keep track of your material slots are in equal amount to your inventory slots, but they do not otherwise share space. In effect, you can have 5 stacks of different materials in the same 5 slots occupied by usable items. Easier to follow that way. Vials will just be better suited for weaponized alchemy results.

>>2690749
So do Tin-cans have 7 inventory and material slots, or 5?

>>2691066
They now, by default, have 7.
