RE: [WW] Adjusting Artillery Fire Question [SHANE]

[Wes Anderson <wes.anderson@lucasfilm.com>]

Please read each sentence separately as its own separate rule.

"Once the required time has elapsed, a single spotting round impacts on the
spotter's initiative.

Have the spotter make an Artillery check (DC 15). 

If the roll is successful, the attack is centered on the desired point. 

If the roll is failed, the attack is centered on a new target point some
2d10 yards in a d12 direction from the desired one. 

In both cases, determine the actual impact point for the spotting round as
described under fire for effect."

Likely this last sentence should have read, "In both cases, determine the
actual impact point for the SHELL itself as described under fire for
effect."

That is the SHELL. Not the TARGET POINT. If you succeeded the role the
target point is where you want it and the SHELL deviates just like EVERY
OTHER SHELL launched at this successful TARGET POINT due to changes in wind
velocity and other factors while the guns are firing. So as I said. Ignore
the SHELL. Find the target point per the first two rules. Then determine
where the shell lands per the fire for effect rules. Then allow the caller
to choose to adjust the target point (should he have failed his artillery
roll) or allow fire for effect where more shells will come in and deviate
per the rules due to different amounts of powder that fire the shells, wind,
recoil and the rest.


Everyone cool on this now, or does Shane need to stamp his approval on my
answer?
