Hey Mirikon I forgot to ask--what exactly is Kitten's day job?Exotic dancer.
You got two net hits on that stunbolt (this driver has some lucky dice! plus, he used edge). If you want to increase the damage to 12S it will increase the drain value by two as well. What do you wanna do?
I was kinda worried that the team didn't have a really powerful combat PC. Worries abated :)
In SR4A it doesn't appear to be optional. But, I would use it anyway, since direct combat spells would be way too powerful otherwise.
If you're interested in the way I use edge for NPCs: a group of standard goons like this gets 3 edge to share amongst themselves. They only use it if their lives are in imminent danger, and they're not allowed to use the hand of god. So NPCs will use edge from time to time, but it's not something you'll have to worry about on a regular basis.
Direct Combat spells involve channeling mana directly into a
target as destructive and damaging energies rather than generating a
damaging effect. Affecting the target’s being on this fundamental level
with raw mana requires more focus and more power than producing
basic effects; as an optional rule every net hit used to increase the damage value
of a Direct Combat spell also increases the Drain DV of the spell by +1.
Aha! Thanks for the clarification. I am not particularly interested in arguing about this, but the idea that BigGuns and I appeared to be reading two different books was driving me looney.
My problem with direct combat spells is that it's not hard, for example, to cast Stunbolt at force 7, bump the damage up to 10 against someone without counterspelling, and take absolutely no drain. So in many cases it's a free instakill. But, if people have a problem with the rule, I won't use it. In this particular case, it really didn't matter either way.
Posting in a moment, sorry, got caught up on stuff lat night. :-/
Meant to ask, what's considered a group? How many entered?
Hey, what exactly is Frostmane's distinctive trait? Somebody is making the trid news! ;D
Yeah, it says 5 per distinctive trait, so that's right. It's more the gratuitous public magic use than the hair that caused her to make the trid--I just wanted to know how to describe her.
BigGuns: You've now got a rating 4 Cantonese tutorsoft. In addition, it also translates text and transcribes/translates speech in real time. Treat this as a dice pool of 4 for Cantonese language tests, if necessary.
You should keep track of it somewhere, and the character sheet seems like the place to do it. Also, Mirikon is tracking his ammo on his character sheet, which is something really helpful that I also recommend. Though his character is pretty much the only one who uses guns.
commabandit, Menzo doesn't have a license for the pistol, so I'm giving you a chance to leave it home, or at least make some effort to present yourself so as to lessen your chance of getting searched. No gutter trash in the ritzy neighborhoods!I've edited the post so he didn't take the pistol. Do I need to pot again after Linda's addendum or was that just a warning?
7 hits on control thoughts... damn Menzo, looks like your thoughts are gonna be controlled!
Of course, since this is control thought and not compel truth, I'm thinking the results should be somewhat less predictable. You can make someone think that they need to tell you the truth, but that doesn't necessarily mean what they tell you will be true...
I'm gonna sit to the side for now and let you guys roleplay and toss dice as necessary. Just try not to do anything stupid and get yourselves into a situation like the other two. Especially Menzo, who it seems is pretty close to ending up in a Renraku holding cell for the rest of the game ;D
You get counterspelling too! You do have counterspelling, right...?
I thought Kitten was speaking to both of you in Grind's chatroom, but it appears not. So yeah, somebody tell Frostmane where you're meeting. How rude!
Sorry! I was thinking white, but silver came out. Given that there are elves that actually have silver hair, I guess it's an important distinction.
You don't get exploding dice when re-rolling misses, so only 1 hit counts.
Not everyone is quite synched up in time yet. Specifically, I'm assuming Grind got to Dante's last, and the others are already inside when he meets the host.
I introduced myself, i came in saying, i was looking into things on the way over and found nothing in a prelim report and we were discussing things. Page 13 second post for me.
:-)
But glad you are back A4BG.
Everyone else still around? Hopefully we can get this moving again soon. Sorry for the lag.I'm still about, but for some reason the forums aren't notifying me when someone posts on this thread. I'll make sure to check it.
Hi LeighFox! I might be interested in taking one or two more characters. A combat-oriented character or a hacker/rigger/techie would be most useful. Let me see what you've got.
Ok, been a week since I last asked, and no updates...
Not trying to be a dick here. Was just curious where this was at considering I haven't heard ANYTHING about this, and the OOC topic dropped to the second page. How else am I supposed to know what's going on if I don't ask?Ok, been a week since I last asked, and no updates...
I think I've seen this game's GM logged in like once for like five minutes in the past week. Be patient, dude.
Sorry, not much to say. Been waiting for LeighFox's character. Blame her :)
If you get bothered about waiting, play by post might not be for you. As a GM I do try to keep things moving as quickly as possible, but there are lots of times when everyone's schedules just don't sync up and the people who are ready are left waiting. Like, say, that last couple months in this case :) I will try to get things moving again ASAP once LF's character is ready. I think I have a good way to get your characters into the game.
Sorry! Your second email got spam filtered for some reason. Go ahead and post your character either here or in the Black Book thread. I'll get an IC post up soon.
Sorry it took me a while to get back to this. What's the plan gonna be? I've been trying to let you guys figure it out amongst yourselves instead of using Linda to railroad you, but your characters don't seem to be getting along to well...
On that note, while I don't want to meddle with things, I do feel obligated to mention that going off on one's own is generally a bad idea in the sixth world.
