With an utter lack of precision, an Anseil security guard fires a grimy AG9 pistol at you. Without hesitation, you dodge the attack.
Turning a bad shot into a disastrous one, an Anseil security guard fires a grimy AG9 pistol at you. As expected, you dodge the attack easily.
[You are fairly well balanced, in great shape, well rested, and bleeding. You are outnumbered.]
Almost tripping, an Anseil smuggler swings a grimy crowbar at you. As expected, you dodge the attack easily.
[You are fairly well balanced, in great shape, well rested, and bleeding. You are outnumbered.]
A masked hoodlum begins to advance towards you.
A masked hoodlum vanishes in a puff of smoke.
You catch the silhouette of a masked hoodlum out of the corner of your eye.
You release a horrifying death cry as unbelievable pain spreads through your lower back.
Mortally wounded, you release a final sigh and succumb to the cold embrace of death.

You've died! You'll either have to wait until a Medic comes to help you or type RESTORE to be restored from a copy of your genetic image.
Now, I did have a minor left eye and right hand bleeder but i had good balance, good health, wasn't fatigued and had been in there for 30 mins or an hour with hoodlums doing the vanishing thing and missing. Dodging most all the attacks, then all the sudden *bam* You're dead.
I'd understand if I was getting beat up or was tired, if they'd tripped me, something but to go from "Hey, your kicking ass and taking names" straight to "Sorry, you're dead" .... i'll just say it's annoying.
So, was it just a lucky roll on a special back stab attack (or whatever) or is there something I missed? |

That hunting area in my opinion needs to be checked out because the critters there seems to be very overpowered, especially the guards. Maybe their lucky roll is very money, like 90% of the time. My tracker would get gunned down all the time even now. How much evasion, agility, etc would I need before I can actually not have to worry about getting hit with their bullets? 500? 600? _________________ Lick or Be Licked |

Actually, I seemed to do pretty well at dodging the bullets and such. Was that last hoodlum back stab or whatever manuver that just all the sudden tore the hell out of my back. |

that looks like a critical strike backstab, which means instant death (as the back is totally destroyed). _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Right, that part I know but I'd dodged several backstabs over a period of time. I understand how I died, trying to figure out if it was just a lucky roll or if there's something I'm missing. The confusing coming because I had good balance, not fatigued, not getting beat up, etc so how is it that I dodged his, and other hoodlums, backstabs then all the sudden he rocked my world. |

in that case i'd definitely take it as everything rolling against you in the worst possible way.
this is also why i prefer Yaru fighting non-weapon using critters. Lucky rolls can hurt like hell when critters have weapons. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Ok, thanks. Just was wanting to make sure I hadn't done something wrong or that I hadn't missed something. If they'd been beating up on me or something i'd have been fine with it but kind of pissed me off going from "Hey, you're kicking but and taking names" straight to "Sorry, you're dead." |

Just to clarify in case you're not aware, -any- creature could theoretically land a strike on you with a fumble roll on defense, though it's rarely instant death. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Yeah, I didn't mind getting hit. It was the insta-death from that hit. |
