Newbish n00b questions, MkII

[Kirillyos]

But in games like BrikWars, things tend to be simplified,

It's true. That's why it's probably better to use the existing rules that already exactly match the situation rather than making up new ones.

Ahhh - touché.

Yeah! I won an argument on the Internet!

Now I'm finished being a winner, you can really do whatever you want. 1d10 within an Arc, why not.

[Tzan]

Congrats on winning an internet!


I found a video that explains that skeet thing.
The real genius part is the wobbling.
I wish Billy Mays was the narrator.

There used to be a sidebar option for replacing the d10s in an Explosive with any other die and keeping the other stats the same. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it would let you replace (for instance) a one-use 2d10 Explosive with a one-use 2d4 Incendiary or a one-use 2d8 Blast.

If anyone finds that sidebar, I'd be grateful for having it forwarded my way.

77. So lemme get this straight: Launchers with explosives have theoretically infinite range when you consider:

a) despite out-of-range penalties to Skill rolls, something shot out of a Launcher has to come down somewhere

b) explosives do their own damage, not penalized by being out-of-range

right?

78. "Minifig Throwing Arms" are mentioned as weapons in their own right built directly into the minifig. Am I correct in assuming that I can have other "part of the minifig" weapons simply by spending CP, and not necessarily changing the shape of the fig, such as a Dragonborn's mouth being a sonic BlastGun, a pyromancer's hands being Flamethrowers, or a monk's feet being Melee Weapons?



79. Does a Pilot's ability to maneuver and fire weapons in the same turn also extend to the operator of a remotely-piloted drone?

80. Is there a designated repository for custom Stat Cards somewhere in the forum?

All ranged weapons have theoretically infinite range, yes. Feel free to take advantage of this fact; just don't forget how Missed Shots work.

Yes. A minifig is a Creature like any other, so you can give them extra weapons and abilities like any Creature. Just remember that if a monk tries to Parry with his melee-weapon feet then he still takes damage.

Probably? I'd put this one to a what I say goes roll.

There was a page on the old wiki for them. I don't think there's one in the new wiki yet.

Stat Cards

81. Can a weapon pull dual (or more) functions if I paid the CP cost for all included modes?

For example

- a tank cannon (Gun) that also fires antipersonnel canister shot (BlastGun)
- a futuristic/magikal weapon with multiple settings
- a shotgun (BlastGun) that also fires slugs (Gun), Dragon-Breath shells (FlameThrower), and 12-gauge CS penetrator grenades (Launcher)

[stubby]

I don't see why not. The rule that you can only use it once per turn would still apply of course, no matter how many modes it had to choose from for that one use.

82. What about a gun that shoots badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers that shoot guns that shoot badgers?

[Tzan]

Turn 1 you shoot your B-Gun, a badger pops out holding a gun.

Turn 2 you shoot your gun again and the badger shoots his, 2 badgers pop out holding guns

etc...

So really nothing happens except the game area gets filled with badgers holding guns.
They stand around holding their guns, waiting to be killed.

[Kirillyos]

83. Or how about just a rocket launcher launcher launcher...?

Each staged projectile launched would be a launcher in it's own right that after traveling 12" would launch a submuniton which would launch another projectile, etc.

[Apollyon]

Btw, have you ever played an actual game of Brikwars so far Kyrillios?

[stubby]

lol owned

Anyway remember that a Launcher has to be twice the size of any Payload it launches. So to fire a Size 2" Launcher (the smallest with Range 12"), you would need to fire a Size 4" Launcher with Use:8. To fire that Launcher you'd need to fire a Size 8" Launcher with Use:16. And so forth. So feel free, but don't expect to be very successful.

[Silverdream]

You could always build a big one like the ones NASA uses. I don't think it would be very useful in ground battles but it could be useful in Caid sector type battles.

lol no - there's an ongoing game sitting less than a foot away from me on the table at this very moment.

~facepalm~ it was a joke bouncing off the badger post - I already knew that the stages would need to pyramid (duh). Of course the funniest part was 'polly up there missing the point and being booty bothered about it.
