Re: (TFT) Damage from falling in Zero-g

[PvK <pvk@oz.net>]

I'd say no more than your punch damage for your strength, and probably less. I'd probably make a table for random results of failing a zero-g roll, e.g.:

Roll one die:
1-2: You end up floating around with nothing to push off against for a long time, unless someone helps you or you have thrusters or some likely nearby object to grab, a breeze, or you do something smart under the circumstances.
3-4: You end up floating around in an unintended direction at a slowish speed. Roll a die for direction and float at 1 m/s in that direction.
5: You end up floating around in an unintended direction at a fairly fast speed. If you were pushing yourself off with your own strength, you must make an agility/DX, or acrobatics roll when you land, or else take damage equal to an unarmed attack on yourself, halved.
6: As for 5, except take full damage if you fail your recovery roll.

The title is a bit misleading but its a good eye catcher. :D

Im playing in a mongoose traveller game. Im posting here because of the raw 
brain power available. Plus its the sort of thing I might see debated here. 


I missed my Zero-g roll to flip over a banister and push myself down to the 
ground. I was on the floor above a cargo bay. 


According to the traveller rules, a person takes 1d per 2 meteres fallen. This 
assumes a normal accelleration in earths gravity. 


If I was in Zero-g or microgravity, How much damage would I have taken from 
flipping over the banister and assume a normal str 9 push (2d stats), how much 
damage would I have taken. Oh, yes, and ignore the armor factors. 


Cheers, and nice to see you all, 

Regards, Joel

PS: I got to play tft at a local relaxacon in Laurel MD, on sept 3&4 this year.

CHris,

I'm fine with whatever Dan decides on other linking. Mostly, I put it on my site 
so people on this list could get at it without having to go through Dan.
