GT: ISW Jump rolls

Taneli · 12-12-2017, 06:37 AM

So, does the GM or the players roll the four rolls required to do the jump?

I always have my players make the rolls. I will even select players to make those rolls for npcs when needed. Except for the purpose of secretly fudging the result, I see no reason for the GM to make jump rolls.

Like Ronnke, I always have the players make the rolls...it is their PC's skills being tested after all!

While I don't do GT, but use MegaTraveller, I also require the rolls be made by players... at least until the direction, distance, and duration of a misjump.

I never roll for player characters.

Having four rolls just means you are making the chance of a successful jump much less likely, which is contrary to how it works in Classic Traveller.

I can imagine that the early Terran jump ships require a highly skilled crew, but as they gain more experience with jump technology and learn from the Vilani they are likely to quickly cease to require rolls.
