Re: [DL] Lone Stars first impressions (vamoosin')



ok so now look at the tie-in to my question;

a character, to use the no sell technique, can vamoose, and use his fightin'
(melee),  to stand there and roll with the punch..or he can just spend his
cheatin' card.

also if i recall, you had to give an explanation of how you were vermosin'..
jumping out the window, turn and run out the door.. et c.

i'd really think that to 'roll with the punch' to use 'no sell'. it should
be a mien roll, to stand there and take it, and a vigor roll, to still not
go 'oooofff' when u get hit.. with modifiers based on target size, big'uns
and brawny able to suck up body shots well, scraneys not being able to; and
modifiers based on the attackers size, big, strong things usually hit harder
than little 1's.

maybe level in brawlin as a modifier on both sides too..

Vamoosin' is actively getting the hell out of the way of an attack.
Once it has been determined a character has been hit, either in melee or
at range, he may throw in his highest card (cheat card being "higher"
than other actions), to roll his dodge (ranged) or fightin'(melee).  If
he beats the attack roll that just hit him, he's missed.  Even if he
doesn't beat it, he's got a good chance of lowering the number of raises
that hit him, since the attack roll now didn't hit him by as much.

         Not quite true; a character has to Vamoose or else have a cheat
card to use No-Sell.

ok.. could you please do me a favor, and explain vamoosin'?  i thought
it was where a player had to spend his cheatin' card to 'vamoose/run'
before the <blank> hit the fan.. basiclly running, before all the
zombies came thru the door; or the big guy, that just shook off being
blasted in the back, by both barrels of your shotgun, at 2 feet away,
turns around...

thx.,
