Group Repair Rolls

mdince200 · 07-12-2019, 04:16 AM

Hello,

My game group is attempting to repair there ship's damage in my Space Opra game. Now, according to the Traveller Rules, all the engineers make rolls and success add 1 hp (10 success for 1 deca). I'm trying to figure out away how to not roll 15 individual times for all the engineers on the ship.

I was reading Social Engineer and it hits on some Group Performance stuff. That sounded promising. But wanted to test the community's knowledge, before I come up with some ruling myself.

Anyone out there have any suggestions as to turing 15 differnt roles into 1 role as per the Repair Rules from GURPS Basic?

Hi,
I created a very useful table a very long time ago which allowed me to know, in groups of 5, 10 and 20, how much are successful, according to the average level of their skill, in a single 3d roll by group.
In the case that interests you, a roll for 5 pnj and a roll for 10 pnj; on the other hand, it does not tell you what margin of success each will make, as for that it would be necessary to make other statistical calculations.
I can send it to you in pdf format if you give me an email.

Okay, so a simple method:

Every engineer with a skill of 12-14 gives a +1 to the Engineer with the highest skill. Skill of 15+ gives a +2.

You make one roll, if successful, it repairs 1 HP, plus 1 for every Margin of Success.

I like that idea.
