|
7 |
From left to right |
|
8 |
From right to left |
|
9 |
Roll again, ignoring 9-10. Waveform is has resultant orientation, but only extends outward 2D10 hexes from Origin Hex. |
|
10 |
Roll again, ignoring 9-10. Waveform is has resultant orientation, but only extends outward 2D6 hexes from Origin Hex. |
Waveform Origin Hex:
Depending on how your hex map is numbered, this may vary. The most basic method is to roll a D100 (percentile dice) for each dimension, re-rolling any number out of range. The Waveform passes through that hex in its Orientation, usually off of the board edges unless otherwise specified.
|
D20 Roll |
Hyperspace Whirlpool |
|
1-15 |
No Hyperspace Whirlpool Present |
|
16-19 |
Hyperspace Whirlpool Present, roll on Whirlpool Orientation table and determine Whirlpool Origin |
|
20 |
Two Hyperspace Whirlpool Present, roll once for Whirlpool Orientation, and twice for each Whirlpool’s Origin |
|
|
|
|
D10 Roll |
Whirlpool
Orientation |
|
1-4 |
Clockwise Rotation |
|
5-8 |
Counterclockwise Rotation |
|
9 |
Re-roll, ignoring 9-10. Waveform(s) are in resultant orientation for D3 turns, after which it switches orientation. |
|
10 |
Re-roll, ignoring 9-10. Waveform(s) are in resultant orientation for D3 turns, after which it dissipates. |
Whirlpool Origin Hex:
Depending on how your hex map is numbered, this may vary. The most basic method is to roll a D100 (percentile dice) for each dimension, re-rolling any number out of range. The Whirlpool Singularity is in that hex rotating as determined above. It will block line of sight through that hex.
When a vessel is expelled from Hyperspace due to a 9-15 result on the Hyperspace Whirlpool Singularity Effects table (see Rules Compendium), it is considered to be at a Sufficiently Far Away location in normal space. The vessel may return to battle assuming that it has sensors capable of determining its location and a properly charged Jump Engine.
