Star Trek Voyager RPG d20 System

COMBAT
Starship Combat is handled similarly to regular combat.
One round is six seconds. You get a move action and a combat action.
Initiative = Pilot Skill plus mods + d20
+2 for Small
+1 for Medium
-1 for Large+
Listed below are the differences and their particulars.
Starship Defense = Ship’s Defense Rating + Pilot’s Dexterity Modifier
A Pilot must make a successful Pilot Check (TN 17 + 1 per enemy ships actively involved in combat
with the pilot’s ship) each round of combat to maintain their Dexterity bonus to their Starship’s
Defense score.
Starship Attack Bonus = Tactical Officer’s Attack Bonus (Base Attack Bonus) + Weapon Skill
Starship Attacks per Round = Tactical Officer’s Attacks per Round
So, if you have multiple weapons and multiple TOs then you can make many attacks. Also, if a TO
has two attacks this is just the same as using any other weapon. A TO ‘mans’ a weapon just as if he
were holding a phaser rifle. Remember that some weapons (Dual Cannons for example) have more
than one attack so potentially a weapon can be fire many times in a single round.
If the Starship has more than one weapon and more than one TO then this counts as a whole
separate attack, just as if this was another PC armed with another phaser.
Starship Movement Starship movement has a ratio of Movement Rate 1 = 1” = 1 square on a grid.
Moving in Combat
If you are space, you may move up to the total movement points for your ship. If you are in
atmosphere then move that amount. As long as it’s a straight line then its fine. Use a grid map if
desired to measure relative distances between combatants.
Turning
Each turn counts as one inch of movement per 45° of the turn. Starships can attack before,
during or after movement.
To make a successful turn during combat a Pilot must make a successful Pilot Check (TN 18 + 1 per
45° turn) to successfully complete the manoeuvre. If the Pilot fails their Pilot Check they only turn 45°.
On a roll of “1” a Pilot stalls his engines for 1d4 rounds.
