This is a question on Aid. AugmentMan has 4d6 BOD Aid. His sidekick, TargetLad has 10 BOD, but AugmentMan has Aided him for 12 BOD , the maximum on his Aid dice.

 

Question 1TargetLad gets shot in Phase 6, and takes 6 BOD. In Phase 7, AugmentMan hist TargetLad with his Aid again, rolling a 12. What happens?

 

(a) TargetLad has 24 BOD maximum, including the Aid, and has been wounded for 6 BOD. That's all that can be Aided. TargetLad gets nothing back.

 

( TargetLad has 18 BOD. 6 of the Aided BOD was shot away. AugmentMan can Aid it back, so TargetLad is back to 24 BOD.

 

Question 2Assume TargetLad was shot in Phase 12 and AugmentMan Aids him in Phase 2, but only rolls 5 on the dice (to simplify). Now what happens?

 

(a) In Phase 12, 5 points of Aid fade. TargetLad's maximum BOD drops to 28 as 5 CP of Aided BOD fades. He stays at 25 BOD.

 

(i) In Phase 2, TargetLad gets Aided for 5 points, so he again has a maximum BOD of 31. This only restores his maximum BOD, as he was already wounded for 6 "phantom BOD", so he stays at 25 BOD.

 

(ii) In Phase 2, TargetLad gets Aided for 5 points, so he again has a maximum BOD of 31. This also adds 5 CP to his current BOD, so he regains 3 BOD to 28 (including that half CP left over after the fade) or 27 (excluding that half point).

 

( In Phase 12, 5 points of Aid fade. TargetLad's maximum BOD drops to 28 as 5 CP of Aided BOD fades. His current BOD falls to 22 due to the Aid Fade.

 

In Phase 2, he gets back the 5 points, so his maximum is back at 31 and his current BOD is back at 25.

 

Sorry for the multipart questions. At least TargetLad doesn't have regeneration

TargetLad has 10 BODY, the maximum that can be added is 12 BODY from Aid. Therefore the maximum that he can have, before being injured, is 22 BODY. If he’s injured while Aided, the lost BODY comes out of what’s added by Aid (as specified in the rules), but the most that can be added remains 12. For example, if AugmentMan uses an Aid that adds 6 BODY (giving TargetLad 16 BODY total), and TargetLad then takes 2 BODY damage, and AugmentMan uses the Aid again to add 6 BODY (now reaching his maximum of +12 BODY), TargetLad has 20 BODY: 10 +6 -2 +6. The fade rate affects all this normally as specified in the rules on 5ER 106.
