I could try summoning another spirit but the drain could knock me out or cause heavy damage.  Also it might take 3 turns before the elemental could even do anything.

The call to the ganglord?

[gilga]

@Big-guns what are you shooting with?  - and what are you shooting?

[gilga]

@Mulcarn you only took 2 stun damage - you have no problems to do magic. Summoning is less dangerous than binding. I do not think it will knock you unconscious

[All4BigGuns]

@Big-guns what are you shooting with?  - and what are you shooting?

I said what is getting shot in the post (one of the drones), and I only have one gun, my Predator.

[Mulcarn]

thought I was listed as having 9 stun, well then this is gonna be a lot easier now.

Continuing to resolve:
Rigger uses full defense and Inferno burns. Notice that you can edge inferno as well! (with your own edge) - if Inferno hits the ford it will be badly hit. If you want to edge, inferno say now.

@Bigguns - as a guy that study a lot of mathematics - almost always use reroll faliures over exploding sixes.

[Mulcarn]

Do I need to roll Bad Luck if I do?

[gilga]

No it is someone elses luck. It uses your edge tough.

[Mulcarn]

So be it I spend edge on Inferno for Second Chance

Normally yeah, but in this situation, I need Edge to stand a snowball's chance of hitting (their defense pool starts higher than my attack, and their suppression widens that gap). Since I can't afford to Edge any more (down to last one), I'm just going to have to stay in defense from here on out.

[Mulcarn]

I feel like I should post my Character Stats before I make any Roll from now on.  I've unintentionally depowered myself every fight.

[gilga]

@Mulcarn - so what is your action for the first initiative phase?

[Mulcarn]

If I'm allowed to go back and redo it then I would use reckless spellcasting on one of the drones.  I would also still take cover as well.

I'm assuming that those are both simple actions. 

[gilga]

I didn't get any action, taking cover just put you at 5 initiative - and you still need an action. spending edge for inferno is not an action.
By the way, your edge spending helped,

the car took 11 physical damage - one more hit will explode it and it is at -3 for all actions and limit as it is badly hurt.
Mechanically it means that its limit for running you over goes from 6 to 3 - so now it is less dangerous to you. (The rigger is likely to get all 3 hits, but cannot go over 3 because the car is badly damaged).
