Gents, Many thanks and again apologies, I’m new to Roll 20 and just
finding my feet so excuse and obvious stupidity. I’m setting up a game of Traveller Mongoose first Edition
using the excellent character sheet provided. My query is around combat skill. I’ll illustrate this hoping you can steer me right. 1.
I’ve created a character sheet with a character
who on the skills sheet has a Gun Combat Skill of 0 and a Dexterity of 10 which
will give him a DM of +1 when using Gun Combat. He has a Specialty Skill of
Slug Rifle 1. So his basic roll would be 2d6 +1 +1. I’ve shown this on the
skills sheet with a 1 in the DM box on the gun combat skill line and a level 1
in the level box on the speciality line. 2. On the combat sheet I’ve put a Slug Rifle in
with Dexterity at the DM and the skill of 1. The rifle does 3d6 damage. I click
on the Roll weapon box (bottom left) on this page to fire the gun. 3.
The program roils 5 dice (I believe this is for
both the attack (2d6) and the damage (3d6) rolling: 1, 2 ,4 ,6 and 6. In the
chat bar it shows the results as: Attack 5 and damage 16. Looking at the macro
for the attack it shows 2d6 for the attack +1 (DM ?) +1 (Skill?) but it then
shows +3 and -3 ? where did that come from ? there is then a +0 which I’m
guessing relates to the 0 modifier as I didn’t put one in. IS that right ? 4.
Looking at the macro for the damage its quite
straight forward simply the sum of 3d6, in this case 16. So three things confuse me: 1.
On the characters skill sheet where I’ve
expanded to create a speciality skill, have I done this right ? what’s the
extra box on the skill line for modifier ? 2.
Where do the extra +3 and -3 come in on the
attack when I roll from the combat page ? 3.
It looks like the roll is made by hitting the
Roll box with the three stars which then roll a straight 2d6. So doing that I
get 2d6 rolled with a 1 and a 2. The chat bar shows a total of 5. Being the 2d6 and the cumulative sum of my modifiers (+1 Dex
DM and +1 Speciality skill). Which button should I be using to use that skill,
should I be rolling the skill sheet button pressing the Roll *** button or on
the combat sheet the roll weapon button ? Sorry if I’m making this cumbersome, as ever very very grateful
for any advice and guidance. I’m loving the sheet its excellent I’m just
getting lost in the mathematics and options.
Kind regards
