I'm not going to try (Hence the "theoretically"), and no one has magic, mostly rifles, 99% dodge...

Yes, in relation to the party, you are untoucable, but the supernatural is another story. There are quite a few spells that would negate your dodge skill, even for one round, and without dodge your guy is below average in rating.

And yes you do have a high POW, but there are spells that ignore POW, thus leaving you screwed.

Well... he could kill one of us... but there's more than two of us with guns. Thus he kills one, two more shoot at him, he dodges one bullet and takes another in the chest.

Can only dodge one bullet per round... so he's not even untouchable in relation to the party.

Forever Zero 03-26-2004 05:39 PM

I think he meant one on one. And evne then he is screwed, all he needs it to face someone with a gun that shoots more then once per round, and he's dead. Can't shoot while your dodging like a maniac...

I'm not talking about the super natural. To the super natural, we are mere mice (All of us, together).

And (if not for stats), any pistol wielder could take out a large chunk of this group as long as they hit the pistol people first. But with stats, any one who even tries is screwed.

Edit - I'll shot first. I don't remember the rifle stats, but I think my guy is at least one of the best gun wielders.

not like that matters in CoC. Or did you miss the part about combat skills being mostly useless.

Forever Zero 03-26-2004 05:51 PM

Dex 18, you shoot first.

Dual wield, you have a penalty to shoot, although not as big a one as usual since your Handgun is over 60%.

You can get off 4 shots in one round. Depending on the arena you fight in depends on whether this would be an advantage or not.

You are dangerous, but not invincible. A cultist with Impeccable Throw could nail you with a piece of dynamite and end you investigating career real quick. A team could kill you easy. One on one against another human, you are hard to kill without an area of effect weapon.

No guarantee you'll kill, hit, or even knock out someone with a single bullet though. Most guns are only 1D6+x damage. A bad roll or two and they survive... or they get lucky on a dodge... then they shoot back twice per round.


Also: I want to know what kinds of creatures there are going to be...

IHateMakingNames 03-26-2004 05:53 PM

I know combat skills are useless. Dodge is a survival skill though, and very useful.

And those things could kill anyone...

Forever Zero 03-26-2004 05:54 PM

I can't say. There is a basic monster list, but in scenarios I read, they also make up monsters on the fly. I can't give you a concrete number.
