z0b's Handy Combat Spreadsheet

Unread post by grandmaster z0b »

Hi all, I'm working on a spreadsheet to help me quickly make NPCs. At this stage all it does is calculate all the bonuses for your hand to hand skill plus any from a high PP, as well as the bonuses from the most common WPs; Knife, Sword, Energy Pistol, Energy Rifle and Heavy Energy Weapons. It's obviously a work in progress but is a big help. Here's the link:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

All you need to do is fill in the green boxes: put the PP in first, then select the hand to hand skill and put in the level, then a level for WPs.

Obviously you need to add OCC bonuses etc. yourself but I might add more functionality later.

I've made the spreadsheet editable so you can put stats in but please don't change any of the formulas.

Please have a look and let me know what you think, also let me know if there are any errors.

I'm also happy to work with other people if you want to contribute and are good at excel stuff.

EDIT: I have updated the spreadsheet, it now has drop down boxes and is a bit cleaner. If you made a copy of the old one trash it and copy the new one.

SECOND EDIT: I have added skill calculation. Again it doesn't include your OCC bonuses but will calculate your base + % increase for level and IQ bonus.

The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".

Yeah yet to put in h2h commando or h2h dragon. Honestly I don't really like the Commando skill because it gets autododge for no apparent reason so I have left it out but I will put it in soon.

It gets autododge for the same reason so many N&S martial artists get it, extensive training. It isn't supposed to be a superpower. It just means someone is trained to dodge reflexively.

Personally I like to keep autododge only for augmented humans like juicers and crazies in Rifts, so I house rule it to only be an autododge for hand to hand combat. In any case that's just me.

Now added h2h Commando and added drop down boxes- should be a lot cleaner and easier to use.

I've done a second spreadsheet that does basic Skill % calculation.
