Undo the Damage of Sitting

[rawengrey]

In FFG’s Deatwatch tabletop RPG, fall damage go straight to wounds without any armour check, and are really, really silly and fatal. Therefore, according to that set of rules, a Space Marine can die from falling from a few stairs step. I love these silly rules.

Which led to an awesome character, Dougie McIsaac, the Storm Warden that caber tosses Chaos Terminators.

Here is a question: from how high a fall can a Space Marine, in full armour, drop from, without injuring himself, and just keep walking and firing his bolter? I say ten metres would be doable.

Actually I think it can be much higher than that. I believe it’s old lore (possibly the original Space Wolf trilogy) but I’m pretty sure there are mentions of Space Marines dropping from high altitude and their power armour ��locking” during descent, which seemingly lets them get right back up and start blasting after impact.

If I’m not mistaken, bolters and rockets work differently. While rockets are directly fuel-propelled and explode (or deliver their load, whatever it is) on contact, bolters are first shot through the boltgun with a solid propellant, like any other pistol ammo, and THEN their rocket propellant kicks in ; plus, bolters have their explosion delayed, as the impact punches through armor in order to maximize the power of an internal explosion. So rocket launchers are only weaksauce-bolterguns, I’m afraid :(. Though I kinda dig the idea of a rocket-size bolter which could penetrate a vehicule and then explode, decimating every crewmember.

Why are rocket launchers not referred to as some kind of bolter? They both fire rocket propelled mass reactives. Chaos Havocs even have rockets that look like giant bolt shells. Where is my “Big Bolter”?

Part-man, part-skeleton!

Ya’ll ever forget you have bones?

Like you absentmindedly feel the edge of your eyesocket or the corners of your cheekbones and you’re like:

“Oh yeah. I have a skull…I’m part skeleton.”
