The ONE table I wish we had in BattleTech

[Daryk]

And thank you for fixing it! :)

[GRUD]

I noticed a Typo (still present since 2018!  ), under head.

"1 Pilot Hit if Heat 15-25
2 Pilot Hits is heat 26+"

Should be: "2 Pilot Hits if Heat 26+" instead.   


Personally, I'm more used to seeing "Dmg" for Damage, rather than "Dam".  As others have said, GREAT Consolidated table though!   

I DO wonder if any of the pages listed have been changed in any updates since you made the List?     I doubt it, but still a possibility I guess.  Maybe?   

[NeonKnight]

I'll double check the page numbers and update later today - going to see DUNE 2 shortly with wifey.

*UPDATE*

Quicker than I thought - One Page Number had changed - fixed, and changed all Dam to Dmg

Enjoy the movie!  It was totally worth springing for IMAX... :)

Thank you!

Very useful table for effects of various critical hits.  Thank you for making it.

[Wraithcannon]

You necroed a nearly 6 year old thread for that?

Obviously it needed it.

[Hellraiser]

FWIW, I really like the table & had never seen it before, so, Good Necro on You!

Mekton has a table in which you can randomly roll what happens to the pilot when their mech is destroyed (like, gives a speech before blowing up).  I want to create a table when a mech gets a head hit, all internal-dots gone or a critical to the pilot.

1. Static. ("Unit #, are you there?")
2. "Mommy".
3. "You couldn't get the broad-side of a dropshi. . ."
4. Sound of a melon-exploding or a microwave-ding if hit by a PPC.
5. Screams for one turn over the radio.
6. *Gives speech*

I've been trying to figure out where I found this table! I'm so glad somebody necro'd this thread! I use it every game & it's a great resource! Thank you NeonKnight for creating it.

I note a few potential points of change:
The ‡ note says "Movement modifiers based on order critical hits occur" but on TW p.126 Hip (Leg) paragraph 2 says "The ’Mech’s Walking MP is cut in half (round up; apply before any leg or foot actuator damage MP reductions)." Also, 4th paragraph says "A critical hit to the second hip reduces the ’Mech’s MP to 0 [...] (the ’Mech is not considered immobile, however)"

Shoulder could note (TW p.128, Shoulder (Arm), 1st paragraph, last sentence) "After a shoulder critical hit, ignore all other weapons fire modifiers from critical hits to that arm."

[Daryk]

That's the spirit!  Welcome to the board! :)

Thanx - I'll check on these shortly. I try to check the rules between both TW and BMM, as the rules should be the same between the two.

**EDIT**

Ok, updated table to reflect them rules - thanx again. I will note though, as per the newest printing of TOTAL WARFARE, the Rules for HIPS are now found on Page 127.

Thank you! I've actually been here for a while (2013) I just lurk most of the time haha.

We still hope to see more of you around! :)

After looking at the wording of SHOULDER CRITICALS it was a little vague and could be viewed to work similar to HIP criticals. I now have an official answer, so table has been updated appropriately.

A table involving moral.  Just something as a GM, I can roll to determine if a unit stays and fights to the death or not.

Sadly, that is more of an optional type rule. This table (and thread) is tracking only with regards to Critical Hit effects, and even then, is not something you roll on, just a reference table (Like the Movement Modifiers, Terrain Modifiers or Attack Modifiers)

on the role the only time i recall moral being mention was for infantry.  but i can see for example a green mech warrior would flee with amor breach.  Regular with a limb or completely amor in a area or lose of a weapon.  Vet when receiving critical hit on engine, gyro so on.  while fanatical never leave till the battle is finish

Even Green-units will fight to the death and elites will bug-out if they think the odds aren't in their favor.  The old adage that a man is never too wounded to fight, also applies to not wounded at all, to run.  But, I'd just like a chart is a method so, as GM, I can make a decision that just involves the rolling of dice, not me deciding if the NPC(s) wants to run or continue.

[NeonKnight]

Please take the talk of Morale elsewhere.

[Geg]

Any chance we could get the MegaMek team to implement this on the "on record sheet" tables.   There is all that tracking stuff at the bottom that could be replaced by this.

Does anyone have a good handout or explanation for how elevation/LOS works. Was a minor dispute a couple weeks back and I finally remembered to ask here.

and adding my thing to pay back the help neon's table was.
