This was what confused my friends and I during our practice game. Good to have clarification.
These are great, keep it up! Really informative.
Wouldn't the serious wound mean -1 as opposed to -2? The stun effects are some of the most confusing parts of combat in CP2020.
oh my god i was so done with full auto i just could not understand it at all. I'm out here questioning why the fuck are my players hitting 302d6 with a smg regularly on a target. Thank you this has helped a ton as a dnd player i just could not wrap my head around that equation.
Next should be netrunning!
These videos are awesome thank you doing them looking forward to the next one!
i just bought your game, me and my friends just started up D&D pathfinder which is fun but kind of like kid stuff IMO good and all in a group when we can all get together but this is more to my liking. i'll bring this out when the whole group can't get together.
Question about cover penetration: when Pogos fires and rolls 18, 9, 17, 7, and 27, wouldn't all shots penetrate? The 18 goes thru, but wouldn't the barriers' SP also be reduced to 9, thus allowing the 9 to penetrate? 9 and 17 would then pass thru, lowering SP to 7, etc. Just checking, I am new to this game.

I know I'm 2 months late on this but: the SP is reduced only if the bullet penetrates, so the first one does reduce the SP to 9 but the second bullet does not penetrate because it is equal to the SP of the cover. The third bullet reduces the SP to 8, so the fourth shot does not penetrate because 7

@@GianmariaVasino Except that in reading the proportional armor portion of the core book, the total sp should be 19 and as they are taken as a single "armor sp" number then nothing but the 27 penetrates. This is how I understand the armor layering rules to work. You don't check for penetration on the cover first unless it's not categorized as a "layer" which it should be. EDIT: The problem with that is that it also means that all of the armor layers lose a point of SP on a successful damaging hit, which can quickly make the target dead in a combat with a high volume of fire.

at 10:45, what's the reason Bouncer doesn't attempt an extra action to try hotwiring the truck again? I know it would have a -3, but if there's no actual downside, isn't it better to try rolling more?

Unfortunately, we were hit with a double whammy of first Thanksgiving and then PAX Unplugged. We're hoping to get Episode 0 for both Cyberpunk and Witcher up next week and Episode 3 for Cyberpunk up the week after.
Question: how many actions can you take in a turn/round (the 3.3 second one),? I know that the max movement in 3.3 seconds is 3 times MA, with your MA per action, but multiple actions all get -3 per action after the first, but can you take 5 actions in a turn? The corebook says "more than one action", but is that 2 or 2+?

In the end, the GM and group should decide what works best for them so this rule has modular options. In CP2020, it doesn't give a hard limit. In "Listen Up, You Primitive Screwheads!" the High Noon Shootout rules say one extra action per turn only. In Cyberpunk v3, its one extra action per turn only, but only if your Reflexes is higher than 10 (something generally possibly only via enhancement due to cyberware or drugs). A group should pick the option right for them.

About RoF - if all weapon with rof >4 can do up to 2 shots/action and 3 round burst - What for in all sourcebook for specific weapons are written semi-automatic and single-shot shooting modes? Like this: Darra-Polytechnic M-9 - ROF 2/25 or Enfield LPA1 RoF 1/3/20
You should have done a video or series of videos that covers netrunning.

Question about the save in supressive fire: Does the enemy have to beat the save number as having an equal or lower roll than the save or the other way around? (having a bigger number than the save)

Thank u negros (: dis is lit. Much luv to yall.
You say round down the d6 for 3 round burst - is this an error or is a 1 intended to mean 0 hits? I've often used the hit location table to simulage partial cover - if you're behind a waist height wall rolling legs means cover took the hit for instance.
love these videos i would like to bring up one thing, i know everyone knows what the term "clip" is but what you were talking about is a magazine or mag for short. its a little nitpicky but one that is jaring for someone who knows keep up the great job and can not wait for cyberpunk red
Does the GM usually use a drawing of a location layout depicting where all the characters are and what type of cover is present & distance etc like in this tutorial? is this how its normally done in a typical gaming session with perhaps preset modular locations? or maybe the GM draws one on the fly? I can't imagine how it could be done otherwise.

This game's combat cannot be Theater of the Mind if there are so many factors. The GM needs simple maps on grids, and blocks out shapes for the cover. I managed with some simple figures or playing-pieces, a big acetate map-sheet and some wash-away markers back in the day, which I wiped away with Kleenex soaked in my players' tears. Old School! Now it's dry-erase, that's better. Remember that SP numbers drop one when damage exceeds it and passes on to the target.

I mean if you go by rule of cool then theater of the mind is fine, but if you care about every minor detail it won't work to good
Nice video, but all shots penetrated. First would drop SP to 9, second to 8, third to 7 and so on, so each penetrated even if 2 of those didn't cause any extra damage and just lowered barrier's SP :)
Question about three round burst mode. Isn't it always better to use it instead of single shots? You get +3 bonus to hit at short or medium and at least one bullet always hits (with the chance of all 3 hitting). I can't think of any reason using single shot in a round instead of a burst

So do you just add the SPs together and treat the armor as one entity if they have Skin Weave and Body Armor?

I know this is a bit late but at lest for anyone else reading this, yes you add up SP. Cyberpunk is more reality based then most RPGs so when in doubt just think what would happen in real life.
I always tell my players to save some luck just in case of a random headshot. Add one to the die and now it's a torso wound. Luck can save your life.
If a handgun has a ROF of 3 (like the Nova Citygun) does this means you don't shoot 3 bullets, but instead you shoot in Burst Fire?

Guns like that are generally either autopistols or so well engineered that there's no real difference so using the Burst Fire rules for 3 shots makes sense.
Hello, I have a question, if you fire in full auto and the result of the roll is equal to the difficulty, what happens? The attack misses?
@daviddamasceno6063
5 жыл бұрын
That's kinda confusing because acording to the book the 'To Hit' rule is: Attack Roll >\= Difficulty equals Hit But the Auto Fire rule is: Attack Roll # > Difficulty equals # of hits. So in auto fire mode you'd need to roll higher than the difficulty number to get a hit. If you roll the difficulty number in auto fire mode that would mean a miss. But of course, you can always house rule that to your liking...
@daviddamasceno6063
5 жыл бұрын
To put it simple: In auto fire mode you score a hit for every number you roll above the difficulty level. In this mode, rolling the same as the difficulty level would mean a miss.
The bit that confuses me is: what number are you trying to beat while rolling for stun?
@jaxn4755
4 жыл бұрын
if you mean a save stun, the number you need to get *under* is the number for your Body Type. For example, if someone is of Average Body type (7), this is the number they must roll underneath to make the stun save. However, depending on how damaged they are, a modifier is added. At wound state critical, this modifier is -2. This means that in order to make the save, a roll of 5 or below must be obtained to avoid becoming stunned. So to answer your question, you don't want to "beat" the stun save, instead you want to roll below it. A 'Check' is a number you must roll equal to or above, a 'Save' is a number you roll equal to or below
I still don't fully understand how the cover rules work. Are characters in cover always fully hidden? Are there no penalties to popping out of cover to shoot back during your turn? What happens if a character is only half-hidden by cover?
@jazz8000
5 жыл бұрын
If you pop out of cover to take a shot, it could be a -3 to your shot but you're assumed to pop back behind cover.
WHERE in the rulebook does it say that you can take up to two(specific two) shots/action?! It says that you can fire up til your weapons ROF.

I know this video is 2 years old but technically the way you handle cover and armor is not how it is written in the rulebook. The cover and armor are compared, then based on the SP difference you look on a chart and add a modifier to the higher SP armor, also only armor loses SP not cover.

In the old days computers didn't have as much speed and graphics so in the 90s they stopped playing Star Control 2 (a righteous game in its time) and complimented me the GM by telling each other, "Turn off the game, the GAME is starting!" They willingly turned off their computer for me. But as computers got MORE speed, MORE graphics, MORE memory, more gamers turned to the Dark Side and tabletop RPG suffered... :-)
This confuses me
Like how people are saying this is fast paced combat lmao this game is slow as shit
It's okay to talk slower and read from your script with intent instead of rattling off words like a marathon runner without regard for context or meaning. It's really difficult to not zone out while you ramble on, you know that?
