LOOK AT SHELLS
LOOK AT PISTOL CLIP
LOOK AT ARMOR

[raekuul]

You open the door and immediately sidestep. You assume command and order the humans to drop their arms and leave. Three quite literally unarmed former humans shamble away from the place for what remains of their mockery of life.

You look at the pumpkin. It is a brownish-orange, about a foot in diameter, and weighs about 17 pounds. What it's doing in your inventory is anyone's guess, but it would be a waste to just leave it here.

You look at your shotgun shells. You have nine.

You look at your bullets. All together, you have one hundred bullets.

You look at your armor. The armor you are wearing is a heavily damaged basic UAC armor. The armor in your pack is a brand-new basic UAC armor.

PICK UP (all 6?) ZOMBIE ARMS

(why?  I don't know, maybe we can throw them :D :D :D :D :D :D)

EDIT: ...unless they were (h)armless to begin with, hehe.

[Pricklyman]

harmless...oh dear lord. But anyway.

EQUIP PISTOL
LOAD PISTOL (if needed)
SHOOT FORMERS SYSTEMATICALLY IN THE HEAD
INBETWEEN SHOOTINGS, WAVE GUN AND THREATEN, WITH THE PURPOSES OF INTIMIDATION

[Kabrinski]

Okay...

I'd just ignore em. They ain't got no arms and there's no point in either wasting ammo or generating noise.

[Game Hunter]

Yes, don't forget this:

No EXP for killing anything not capable of killing you.

So unless it's purely for sport or fun, we don't have reason to kill anything that can't fight back. (Also, IIRC, equipping and reloading aren't necessary to state and are done automatically: when you're shooting, you specify whichever weapon is used for that shot.)

raekuul: Maybe you should compile all the "gaming mechanics" information in the OP so people don't have to thread-dig for every tidbit. In fact, I could get the information together and PM it to you, if you don't have time.

Also, in order to keep this moving, after everyone else is done with their thing:

GO NUCLEAR PLANT 1

[raekuul]

If you would, that would be nice ^^;

The arms refuse to become one with your inventory screen. They head off in random directions, away from the Nuclear Plant.

You shoot all three of the Former Humans in the head, one by one. As you shoot, you practice being intimidating.

You enter the Nuclear Plant.

LOOK AROUND, TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY TO THE CONTROL CENTRE (the plant has a control centre, right?)

SHOUT "I'M COMMING FOR YOU YOU BASTARDS!" TO BOOST EGO.

[shark20061]

Spoiler: psssst (click to show/hide)

-3 bullets cause we shot them 1 by 1.

[raekuul]

Thanks for the catch. I always forget to update the counter.

You look around, but you don't know this place from Gomorrah. A map would probably be useful.

You shout. Your ego gets a +20% boost. Your coolness factor gets a 20% boost. Your stealth takes a 34% penalty. Make a SAN... oh, wait, wrong game. Your shout attracts the attention of two former sergeants.

FIRE SHOTGUN AT SERGEANT #1
FIRE SHOTGUN AT SERGEANT #2

[raekuul]

You fire your shotgun at Former Sergeant #1. You catch him in the blast for 11 damage! Former Sergeant #1 perishes without a second thought. You catch #2 in the blast for 2 damage!

Former Sergeant #2 fires at you. He hits for 11 damage!

You fire your shotgun at Former Sergeant #2. You score a critical hit for a whopping 46 damage! Former Sergeant #2's armor is obliterated! Former Sergeant #2 is no more.

A note on experience, over, and rage points; you get the enemy's hp loss in exp for each kill (so since you did 11 damage to FS#1, who had 10 HP and Armor 1, you got 10 exp from that), and any damage you deal above and beyond what's necessary to kill the enemy gets added to both exp and over points - so since you did 48 damage to FS#2 across two attacks, and he had Armor 1 for both attacks, you get 48-2=46 experience AND 36 over points. In case you don't feel like digging through the thread again to find this tidbit of information, Over Points are automatically added to the HP you recover from using recovery items, though this does completely deplete your Over Points. This does not apply to certain artifacts. Rage points are usually spent for the application of special shots, though not always, and you gain 1 rage point for every 2 HP of damage you take.

This is now all calculated after armor is taken into account, so if I was doing it differently before, that's been patched to work differently.

[raekuul]

A quick insight into how the guns are being handled:

Pistol - 1d20 for the to-hit roll, fires a single round that deals 1d10 damage. Rolling a 20 on the to-hit roll scores a critical hit.

Shotgun - 1d20 for the to-hit roll against the primary target. 1d(5-total targets in direction, minimum 3) shards fired at 1d5 damage each. Rolling a 20 on the to-hit roll AND rolling the maximum number of shards for the primary target (and only the primary target) scores a critical hit. Any shards that don't hit the primary target then get a to-hit roll against the next nearby monster, and so on until all five shards have been resolved. Critical hits only affect the primary target.

Chaingun - 1d20 for the to-hit roll. 1d6 bullets fired at 1d4 damage each. Rolling a 20 on the to-hit roll and 6 bullets scores a critical hit.

A note on critical hits: For multiple bullet weapons like the Shotgun or Chaingun, a Critical Hit changes how armor is applied - instead of applying Armor against each individual shard of a shotgun blast, Armor is only applied against the total damage for a critical hit.

TAKE SHELLS
TAKE ARMOUR

[raekuul]

(So, I should apologize. I did not expect to be going out of town the next few days, so the game is pretty much going to be on hold after tonight)

You obtain 19 more shells.

You obtain a severely damaged Green Armor.
