I was typing man! :p

<<<<<< SO IMPATIENT! , also using it. also, good luck with that grenade lob, I hope it's got an airburst link

[Xzylvador]

Told you my tactical advice isn't worth much, sowwy.
Luckily, my generous donations to Invisible Castle is returning some very nice rolls for myself!

[Xzylvador]

Forgot to roll scatter, thanks for pointing that out Teyl;
p322 tells me it's 1d6, p155 tells me it's 2d6... will roll twice: Scatter, 1d6 or 2d6: [2,5] = (7)
So 2 or 7 metres, minus net hits; hopefully being inside the car it'll just bounce against carseats and or doors.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Ha no worries. I'm getting a mixed bag from that place these days. in other news, I REALLY HOPE THAT GRENADE KILLS THEM BOTH.

I don't know if you also did the -3 because we're driving, but that'll get sorted out, (whole reason we're here is to learn better combat tactics and how those mechanics work.) Also for grenades, the 1D6 is for the direction it scatters in so that matters. figure is at the bottom of pg155. Inca knows how to compute that stuff WAY better than me though, I've certainly given him enough practice.

What cover? This isn't an aimed spell, cover doesn't apply. She resists if she has 5 hits. All or nothing. And she resists with Body+Counterspelling.

Ok, so the way I would do it is that I would make it a called shot at -4 and then you have to bring the scatter down to zero.  Scatter is 2d6 for airburst mini-grenade.  So it becomes 7m - 1m /net hit. 
Also you only apply the Rigger bonus to Vehicle Tests.  So that would be a net -6 to your roll....which amazingly still leaves you with 9 hits.  Let me roll defense and post what happens. 

[Xzylvador]

Gunnery is a vehicle test afaik...

Then again, the more penalties I get, the bigger a critical succes this becomes, so yeah >:p

[inca1980]

Yeah, but control rig specifically says "Vehicle skill tests".....this means Pilot Ground, Pilot Air, etc....

[inca1980]

you guys can act freely now out of initiative but don't over do it.  Keep the time frame for you action to anything that would take like about 30s.

[Xzylvador]

Don't want to start another rules argument, I'm ok with your rules.
Just like to point out that SR4A p128 really puts Gunnery among the Vehicle skills; and Control Rig gives a bonus to vehicle skills, not piloting skills. *shrug*

[Xzylvador]

Damned, wanted to see if I could somehow make it appear on GridGuide that some car was quickly driving away from the scene in a direction other than ours to throw the cops off our tails. Too late I guess.

[inca1980]

Well this test is an amalgam of KE matrix, ground, air, astral, etc. resources, so to keep it simple we'll just do it like this.

[Sichr]

hh, my boss was incoming, so I didnt managed to finish my post:
if there is nothing like that, Ill look around for the gas station with the Car Wash chamber...or something like this...even multilevel garrage would be suitable...!!!

@Wagner:

So the handling of your Toyota is +1, but you're on streets so that's -1, so you're net handling is zero so you're not gonna add anything from that.  Sorry i wasn't clear, when i meant vehicle, i meant Pilot Ground....so you don't add your response in there.  So taking out 5 dice, that's still 5 hits so you make it.
