Who knew that vampire hunters needed so many non-lethal options.
Charging into a crowd goes against most of my instincts, but in this case it might be crazy enough to work. I'm under no illusions that those approaching will be as green as the first guy, but if they are coming up the stairs then maybe I can get a +2 superior position bonus for being higher/above them. Hopefully the stairwell is too narrow to let them surround me. If they shoot, melee might be a negative modifier to their rolls, and body armor can catch anything that dodging doesn't. If they decide to grapple, then that's what shock frills are for. And, hey, if this works then maybe that "knock them down the stairs like dominoes" might work after all.
Of course, this plan is dependent on rolling.
CT2 IP3Free: Run/move to attack. Charging bonus?
Complex: Club the guy at the front of the pack
Agility 5 + Clubs 6 + Spec 2 + Weapon Focus 3 + 2 superior position (or charging):
18d6t5 4 hits, cold streak continues
I only took one +2 bonus for either charging or superior position. Not sure if the other would apply. Base DV: 9P, AP: -2, Reach 1.
I'm at 21 hits on 90 dice (22%) for my last 6 rolls. I like Achak and hope he's not his own worst enemy.
