Foxx! Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Heroes! What Combat Modifiers do you use for a target who is sitting? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eosin Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: sitting DOn't quote me but 1/2 DCV in Melee and something like +2 for ranged combat beyond the -4 RMOD. Being Prone is 1/2 DCV in Melee and +4 (?) DCV at Range.... Maybe the Ranged Mods are +1 & +2 DCV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: sitting Only time I attacked a sitting target was outside of combat so they had a DCV of 0. 1/2DCV seems good for mechanics, though at least Prone you can roll around, scramble a bit etc... Sitting (and wanting to remain sitting - no diving off the chair) is pretty static and a 0DCV may be warranted unless they're in a wheelchair and trying to move about a bit.

Steve Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: sitting I am reminded of martial arts movies I have seen, where the hero is sitting on the ground or in a chair and is able to fight pretty well by doing acrobatic moves and dodges, returning to a seated position at the end. A -2 DCV seems about right, rather than a 1/2 DCV Prone modifier, but it can be negated by a successful Acrobatics roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust Raven Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: sitting Heroes! What Combat Modifiers do you use for a target who is sitting? Cheers! I consider sitting equal to prone with the same penalties. The main difference is the concealment modifiers against ranged attacks and that some possitions of sitting allow for standing up as a 0 Phase action (sitting up in a dining chair: 0 Phase to Stand, slouching in a recliner, 1/2 Phase to stand).

ghost-angel Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Re: sitting Everybody had better ideas than me... And Prof X is who I was thinking of with the wheelchair comment - you bet your mutant powers I'd smack him ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
