Max actions per round

[Exoviper]

Hello!
I'm having trouble remembering (and finding where in the rule book) how many declared actions are allowed per round. I think it's 5 but then again, it can go higher up if the "free reaction" is taken into account.

I would assume the max is 5 given that a round consists of 5 seconds of game time, but I could be wrong....

Additionally, regarding reactions:

1. Can only one dodge be used per round?

2. Does one dodge reaction replace the difficulty number to-hit the character for the entire round, or would they be required to dodge multiple times say if multiple people were shooting?

To my knowledge you can make as many actions in a round as you have dice ie. if you have a 10d in blaster you could make 9 shots all at 1d. And dodge works the same way, 10d dodge make up to 9 dodge rolls all at 1d, or 1 full dodge and no other action for the round as per the dodge rulles.

A partial dodge, a non-full round action, just replaces the difficulty for the attacker be it for better or worse . A full dodge, a full round action, adds the dodge roll to the difficulty and counts for all atacks made that round.

Im sure Gry or some one out there might say it better than I but I think that that is it in a nut shell.

Thanks for the credit, but I think that's about it, you've said it.

Thanks a bunch! This will come in handy. It's usually the little rules that elude my memory from time to time!

Actually, according to the official rules, the dodge difficulty fully replaces the range difficulty. There's even an in-game example stating this. Two stormies are shooting at the PC at different ranges, the PC dodges rolling a number between the range difficulties of the troopers. Now the shot has become more difficult for the closer trooper but easier for the further trooper. And come to think of it, that also means that that single dodge roll is valid for both shots.

That's if they dodge. It's better to dodge at short range. Stand there and take the difficulty number if its long range.

[Gry Sarth]

Exactly.

Alright, I stand corrected about the rules. But I still say that you should need to beat the range before you can hit, like weapon difficulties for melee, for purposes of making it seem plausible in any sense.

[Gry Sarth]

Oh, that's another point. I was just clarifying the official rules. I can see the logic behind your though, Talhorn, it's a sensible rule.

You can make it easier to be hit by rolling a bad dodge. The explanation according to the rulebook is that you "zigged when you should have zagged."

If your range difficulty to hit is a 10 but your target decides to dodge then rolls a 3 to dodge, then the new difficulty to hit becomes a 3. The range difficulty does not remain the default target number.

I thought there were 2 types of dodge. A FULL dodge, where you only dodge that round and add the rolled # to the range difficulty, and another dodge that is a reaction and goes for players already performing an action. The second type of dodge replaces the difficulty #.

Please tell me if I am wrong in this!
