basically you have two relatively decent weapons to attack with that are about as good as chainswords, have a movement AB of 6, can take a free half-move on an acrobatics test after attacking, and can dodge twice in a turn. "react as a bestial creature" means i take control if something worrying happens to you though

enjoy!!!
Thank you GM

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:

you can only do one attack per turn
I wanted to actually ask if that's also the case for melee because being a murderbeast is less cool when you can only maim one thing per turn?

I never had to do melee so far :shrug:

Attacking with two weapons is still one attack. Semi-auto/full-auto and swift/lightning attack is still one attack.

Apart from that the only other way to do multiple attack actions is with rare niche expensive talents.

As I understand it if you are dual wielding you can make separate attacks rolls (though as part of a single attack action) with each weapon provided you have the appropriate two weapon fighting talent albeit at -20 for both attacks. Ambidexterity reduces the penalty by 10 and Gunslinger/Sidearm/Blade Dancer reduce the penalty by 10 for dual pistols/pistol and melee/dual melee respectively. If you have both ambidexterity and your choice of secondary talent there is no penalty for dual wielding your chosen style.

Since you specifically have Ambidextrous and Two weapon Fighter you can choose to toll twice, once for each arm, but both rolls are at -10.

bang on basically, although Sidearm/Gunslinger/Blade Dancer have caveats to what weapons they work with

you don't have swift or lightning attack so it's WS -10 (two weapon) + 10 (standard attack) as a half action, so basically rolling against straight WS.

or you could aim and attack (WS + 10 - 10 + 10 for a WS + 10 roll), or your could all out attack (ws + 30 - 10, you can't dodge at all for a WS + 20 roll)

each arm rolls separately and can even be against separate targets. they are separate Attacks as part of the same Attack Action, and it's Attack Actions that you can only make one of per turn

also microwaving dinner apparently requires a +30 Trade: Cook test

nooo they changed it so that you don't need to be on fire to try and put out a fire

i mean it's good for, like, firemen and all that, but it's much less funny

at least literally any medic can safely lop off a critically wounded limb with no chance of causing any long-term injury to their patient. much better than trying to put the limb in traction, which gives a chance of killing the patient each day

DH2 also inverts how pushing psychic powers works...unlike every other 40K game to this point, pushing raises your effective psy rating but LOWERS your skill, which means it's a lot more situational as to when you'd actually want to do so.

Don't they also take out power fettering so you have no safe casting?

hard enough to get you fuckers to post once per week in one game, so i'll look to get other players for the DH2 one

DeathSandwich posted:

you can reduce your psy rating to get easier casts but yeah, no fettering. just psykers trying and often failing to do what they're supposed to sort of do all the time.

looking at it, i'm actually not sure whether you'd ever really want to push your psychic abilities in combat. -20 is a fairly hefty penalty for sanctioned psykers, and -10 only gives you +1 psy rating, which may not be worth a 1/4 chance of loving up the location. dark heresy by necessity has you investigating places that you might not want to totally mangle, whereas only war is more about combat and if you turn a room into a scorched ash pit it probably matters less

I love the combat maps you make, DJF. They never fail to amuse.

Believe it or not, i am exercising scrunty strategy right now! I figure the best way to draw aggo from a bunch of dogs is to either submit to them (dropping to the ground) or get them to chase me. Since my heavy weapon is dangerous to use in slamite hallways, i figure I can at least take advantage of my tankiness. True Grit + the refractor field probably makes me the toughest scrunt to kill.

How problematic will the slam quake be? Because Grimply isn't really in a state of mind where he'll recognize it as a problem since eating dogs is the more pressing matter.

I mean, if it's got wires and imperial markings and specifically isn't an admech/archaeotech nightmare device then it's more than likely a force axe and like hell I'm giving it up because psykers can't have nice things. Unless the answer is that I need to have Forbidden knowledge (space marines) or (inquisition) to figure it out because it's some obscure relic.

grimply is bestial but fully capable of comprehending the danger of the strange vibrations. the dogs are, too. it's a big loud scary roar like an earthquaking oesophagus, it's a very visceral threat, not an intellectual one

e: also you can assassin's strike round the corner after making an attack, and evade the quake that way

To be fair, saying "It's got technology bits but gently caress if the technology guy can do anything with it" doesn't exactly make for a compelling hook to follow when the tech guy was the only one who cared enough to look at it or even pick it up to begin with.
