RE: Quest post: Defending the goblins at Gob camp (part two)
OOC: Are the balistas manned by the goblins, or do we need to assign someone to operate them?
I was under the impression the balistas took 2 shots on their own, so manning a balista just wastes our turns with our own weapons. GM please clarify. Thanks!
@happyme yes it was should be to be shooting by ther own. but cyber.explorer did not have a ranged weapon so ecoinstant suggested to cyber.explorer to use the bailsta in his turn. and its not a bad ide. so now they can but if noone is using them they will fire. using there own crew.
Thank-you for the clarification. I understand someone without a ranged weapon using a balista to give them something to do, however if a person who has a ranged weapon uses it, then it is essentially a waste of a turn. Good to know !
That actually brings up another question: Since we get 3 actions per turn, can we increase the number of shots taken with the balista by manning it since the balista on its own gets just 2 shots?
the balista can only shoot two times. regardless. the player has one left. to move or..use his own wepone to attack.
OOC: That actually makes a lot of sense. Good call. I hope the others are paying attention to this thread.
