Understood. I wouldn't want to leave him out of it either. I like his characters and am curious to see how they will respond to the next scenario.
Maybe we should call it for the night. I have work tomorrow.

There are

Brie outright killed one
One got critted by a single shot by Garv, but technically should have been in the "dying" or "unconscious" stage
One was outed by Dust's flail
One was Stabbed by Posey's arm thing, then knocked flat the fuck out by Silver with an amount of damage that would have killed him outright if it were "lethal"
One was shot by Mala and then knocked out by Garv

Technically two went over by non-lethal damage, and two by lethal damage

I don't see that one marine surviving being shot through the brain, at least as anything other than as a vegetable. The only reason I don't want double-crits insta-killing is because getting a years-old character killed randomly would suck. The 3x damage modifier is a good homebrew rule (assuming it would be 4x with a 3x weapon).

The Marine Garv shot had 19 HP, which is the same as a level 3 fighter with statistically average hit die. This is kind of high for an NPC enemy, but I think it fits for what I am trying to do. I figured the revolver would crit on a 20 and do 3x damage, which is the same as a Longbow. Please note that Crossbows crit on 19s and 20s, and do 2x damage. Garv's 2d6 damage did 7 damage, which is the exact statistical average of a 2d6 and I think the modal outcome. 3x7 is 21 damage, placing the marine at -2 HP. Death occurs at -10, giving the marine 6 rounds/1 minute to stabilize or die. It won a secret death saving throw the first round after, which would mean it stabilized and did not die, and in any case I think Dust or Silver would have gotten to him before the minute mark.

Is that unrealistic? Is that undesirable, considering that Garv not merely critted, but basically double critted? I don't know. Maybe the marine should be considered dead.

I wish I was aware of the rules for Cavaliere's own weapon. His revolver is lifted from the D20 Modern ruleset, which provides a x2 critical. A x3 critical is very nice and of course I want to keep that statistic, but I don't know why it's lifted from the longbow. I don't want the marine to die, but a double-crit is special and rare enough to deserve a bonus (which is why exploding crits are such a popular house rule). I think a x4 critical would have led to the marine stabilizing at -9 HP, just barely clinging onto life.

It's up to you. None of this was communicated to me.

Veritably, Garv Cavaliere, Silver Sword, Defiant Dust, Brie 86, and Kirafikiiirc return to the party, the latter carrying an unconscious white pony with hoof-cuffs about their 'wrists'. Brie has his hoof on his pistol, and a few fresh scuffs and scrapes to his fine armor wtf is Tenebrous, I want his suit.

We dont speak of them.

Im kidding.
For those unfamiliar, Brie ActungSechsig (86) is named after a particular episode of Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers. The crew runs afoul of mobster mice, and the team's resident pilot Monterey Jack - a notorious cheese lover - is forced to choose between "the best cheese ever" (a wheel of Brie, year '86) or save the lovely Gadget from a horrible cartoon fate. Ordinarily intoxicated by the mere smell of ANY cheese, let alone the best, Monty has to undergo a character breakthrough to save his friend.

In background/game canon, I am attributing Monty's love of cheese to Brie's foster parent, who subsequently named him thus

At first, Vir expects to enjoy the belly rub like one would a massage but she doesn't. Instead, due to Flowercup's light touch and small hoof, it feels smiliar to a feather stroking her. Vir kicks the air and start to giggle.

"Heh heh, that tickles. Stahp!" She makes very weak attempt in her tickled state to remove the tiny hooves poking into her belly made of jelly.

These rifles are fairly long, kind of heavy, have five round internal magazines, and attached bayonets. Wood furniture that has a groove below the action, a magazine that sticks out slightly, and of course a bolt action.

The magical ammunition is an entirely different type. It's an actual crystal modified to a hexagon shape; it will not fit an internal magazine.

Posey isn't proficient in guns. She prefers her bow.

Contested.
The firearm is the delivery platform. A fine olatform is entitled to a bonus.
The ammunition is the force-potential, which could also be said to be entitled to a bonus. The bonus of the firearm wouldnt apply increased damage, but aiming/accuracy? Seems plain

Okay, so, a magic rifle is actually something completely different to a magically enhanced rifle. A magic rifle uses crystal ammunition instead of bullets to fire bolts of magic at enemies. They're primarily used by mage corps because of how difficult they are to produce, but their effectiveness in combat is unparalleled.

Consider it in terms of armor-piercing (greentip) rounds from a well tuned sniper, versus plinking rounds from a casual hunting rifle (same calibur, better tool and ammo)

"Oh." Tricky pulls a hoof up near her mouth. "Too well to do to notice?"

Sorrel cautiously asks
"Are you... did you lose your home, too?" She asks, looking up towards Dark Star.

Good to know. That's by 3.5e rules, though, and this game is becoming more homebrewed by the session.

I agree with this one.

Cavaliere takes 10 (+7) to hogtie all the unconscious enemies, just to be safe. He also blindfolds them and plugs their ears.
Including the ties for the captive they took on the beach, how much rope has he used up?

Honestly kinda based. I think it's a good idea to use one of the D&D systems as your base, and then homebrew rules as you see fit in order to fit the game you're trying to play.
