#5675 Character Damage Sheet :)

[unnamed sender] · 18 June 1993

Hello fellow Travellers,

the following sheet was my first idea, when I read the TNE damage rules
for personal combat. I recommend to use two sheets per character, one for
the minor damage and one for the serious wounds. The sheet is done for
a character with maximum CON and STR.

                _Head_      Head:    2 x Con
               /oooooo\     Chest:   3 x (Con+Str)
              /oooooooo\    Abdomen: 2 x (Con+Str)
              |oooooooo|    Arms:    2 x (Con+Str) both
              \oooooooo/    Legs:    2 x (Con+Str) both
    /-RA---^-----Chest----^---LA-\
   /oooooo|oooooooooooooooo|oooooo\     Hit Location Table (Biped):
  /ooooooo|oooooooooooooooo|ooooooo\     Die(D10)  Location
 /oooooooo|oooooooooooooooo|oooooooo\  ----------------------------
|oooooo/   \oooooooooooooo/   \oooooo|      1         Head
|oooooo|   |oooooooooooooo|   |oooooo|      2         Right Arm
|oooooo|   \oooooooooooooo/   |oooooo|      3         Left Arm

|oooooo|  |oooooooooooooooo|  |oooooo|      5         Abdomen
|oooooo|  |oooooooooooooooo|  |oooooo|      6         Abdomen
|o o o/   |oooooooooooooooo|   \o o o|      7         Right Leg
         /  \oooooooooooo/  \               8         Right Leg
        / RL \----------/ LL \              9         Left Leg
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|            10         Left Leg
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|
       |oooooo|        |oooooo| Comments:
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|   Table assumes front/rear shot
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|   Side Shot: Far side hit equals near side hit
       |oooooo|        |oooooo| Prone Target:
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|   Table assumes top shot.
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|   Side Shot: Far side hit equals near side hit
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|   Front Shot: Leg or abdomen hit equals miss.
       |oooooo|        |oooooo|   Rear Shot: Head, arm, or chest equals miss.

I add the Hit Location Table from the TNE-Rulebook. That is one thing I
didn't like at the rulebook, it doesn't have an appendix with all important
tables, nor can I find a table index to find the existing tables. Does
anybody know, if there is a GM-Screen in the planning?

Firstly, congratulations to both the Deans and the Watsons.  I wish all of

Oh no!  Has Traveller degenerated into a thinly disguised variant of
Battle Tech? (-:  Damage sheets with lots of little boxes to cross out.  Next
we'll have a fatigue (heat) table that makes life more difficult for the
players up the scale, finally reaching the 'collapse and do nothing further
when the top end is reached'.  Thankfully, traveller doesn't permit people
to go around with hundreds of weapons strapped to their arms and legs and to
be able to fire them :-)

Anybody want a hiver name generator?  I could throw together one that only
includes voice output pretty quickly!  :-)
