@Poi I'm too busy with GMing atm to join but will be lurking and watching this RP, it looks fantastic.

Bastion: The Last Tank Crew

@DJAtomika@Drakey@Xandrya@Cryfest@Mercenary Lord Here's a breakdown of how combat will work in the RP, I'll also add it to the 0th Post

Bastion: The Last Tank Crew

Combat

Combat follows the Arena-style method of engagement. You declare attacks but you cannot auto hit. You can attempt to dodge/block/defend but the circumstances of the attempt must be reasonable or your action will be overruled by the GMs (If you get shot at by a rail gun, don't attempt to Neo-dodge the bullets or you will just get torn up).

However where this differs from Arena is that all of your encounters will be PvE (unless you and your team want to have a scuffle). So while you cant auto hit us (the GMs) we can Auto-hit you if we feel necessary. We also calculate how much damage you suffer and and how much inflict. Instances where you can auto-hit the enemy is against 'horde' type enemies like mindless sprinter mutants,low level bandits/gangsters or stationary defense turrets if you are in the tank.

Please note YOU CAN DIE in this game, this is part survival and although GMs wont kill you for something minor 'like oops you stepped on a mine'. We will announce deaths if we feel you fail a combat encounter bad enough to warrant death being necessary. If you die your character will not come back, but you as the player will be given a grace period we you can 're-join' the waiting line with another reserve character later in the story. So write well, think logically and you will most likely live to see another page of IC posts.

So which combat roles aren't taken? I'll take Gunner and whichever's left.

@DJAtomika

The final infantry role is Heavy

Bastion: The Last Tank Crew

@Ferrocerium CS is looking good, let me know if you need help picking out an image.

EDIT:

Some Suggestions

Bastion: The Last Tank Crew

I suppose that's true, but it's an option?

@Mercenary Lord

Bastion: The Last Tank Crew

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

doesnt a sniper need a spotter

@Mercenary Lord

Yeah I mean realistically they do, but its such a sucky job to have in a RP setting, I'd rather the sniper do their own spotting or occasionally assisted by the field commander.

@Dynamo Frokane

Cool. If anything, may I recommend field medic/second marksman and as far as the tank, make her a scout. It's dangerous, but the Bastion doesn't fit everywhere, so at times there has to be eyes outside of it without sacrificing the entire team.

@Xandrya

Maybe I could run with that 'scout on a motorbike' idea after all, there would only be one marksman though so I would have to think up another role. but lets see what the other CS look like.

@Drakey Also I missed something in your Bio, Andrew wouldnt have been assigned the commander of the bastion during the academy time, the tank was built after the academy was destroyed.
