combining skills
« on: 14 October 2012, 13:12:00 »
Is there any sort of mechanic or method for combining skills?  Aka two charachters working together to repair a jeep?  Is it a simple modifier to the dice roll or something different?  I can't seem to find any mention of it in ATOW.

Y'know I don't think there is any mechanic for that in AToW or the Companion but maybe looking through StratOps for the repair rules could be useful.

Old MW3 RPG Rules had some at the Target Number Modifiers Table.
"Skilled Character helping (per Character) -1 each (max -3)"
So with AToW modifies the roll and not the TN, you can use an +1 roll mod for each "skilled" Character helping.

That works.  Thanks!

Tech Team: 7 personnel, where 1 is tech and others are astechs. Target Number (TN) is based on skill of tech, smaller number is better skilled. If Tech Team is less than 7, modifiers apply to TN: +1 for every missing astech. So if wheeled light vehicle were to break down and there are four personnel where one is veteran tech, base TN is 6 (of the veteran tech). 2 other personnel could have some technical training so they can help out as astechs. There we have veteran Tech Team of 3 personnel. Veteran Tech Team short of 4 personnel would have TN of 10 (6 for skill +4 for missing personnel) to repair the vehicle, + any other modifiers in MASTER REPAIR TABLE and what GM might deem appropriate (+ for lack of tools & parts, - for Extra Time etc.)
