[BNW] Speester Question
I have a situation coming up in my game Sunday night and I need some
opinions, please.
The heroes are having a big throw down with a terrorist group on the roof of
a 28 story building. Of the 14 characters involved (PC and NPC), there is
only one flyer (villain), one teleporter (hero) and one speedster (hero). I
know, it's going to get nasty, but:
My question is this: The building is roughly 60" high. The Speedster has a
pace of 110". If he goes over the edge close enough to the wall, could he
do a controlled fall by running down the side of the building? And, if so,
what does he need to roll when he gets to the street to avoid splatting?
My opinion: If he is thrown or knocked back, he's SOL. No foothold, no
chance. If he goes over at the edge - or voluntarily - he can run down
without a problem until he needs to make the 90 degree turn up at the
bottom. This will require a Difficult Running roll, with a -1 per 5" of
movement. His TN will be 15+12(60/5)=27. A rough roll but do-able with
Delta point(s) and a little luck. If he misses, well, he did say something
about wanting to try a Sneak . . .
Thoughts, anyone?
