ve4grm, I just noticed something about your sheet. It says you have two ranks in Improved Reflexes, but you only paid 1.5 PP for it? Do you have an Improved Reflexes focus somewhere?

Also looks like there's some good stuff in Gun n Run I really need to pick that up...

It actually says I paid 1.25 per rank. It's kind of confusing, yeah, but it's how I needed to put it in to automate the PP calculations. Basically, I have a formula in the "cost" cell that goes like this:

= ((ranks)+0.5) / (ranks)

So 1 rank is 1.5 per rank, 2 ranks is (2.5 / 2) per rank, and 3 ranks is (3.5 / 3) per rank.

Because the ranks don't have linear costs, the only other way to do it would be to list it as "1 rank in Improved Reflexes 2" for 2.5 points. Which works, but means I can't have my augmented Reflex score auto-calculate.

So the numbers are right. But yeah, they look weird.

I actually only took one thing from Run & Gun, that being the Ballistic Mask. I could have gone with a helmet instead, but the mask makes more sense for the character.

I thought I saw forearms guards on there as well? Those aren't core.

And yeah, was just checking. Excel character sheets are confusing to me, that's why I don't use them. Yes, my giant cluttered wall o' text character sheet are clearly superior. Yup.

Oh, right. And forearm guards. Forgot about those.

I don't use premade excel sheets either, as I don't know what they're always doing, or if it's right. I like making my own, sometimes, though. Especially for online games.

Offline, I'm pencil and paper all the way. Unless it's 4e D&D, or I'm a spellcaster. Then printed power/spell cards are a godsend.

I just realized something. I had decided that Critter was a gamer, to the point where she has a SIM module to play simsense games. But I just now figured out why.

It brings everyone else up to her speed.

With cold-sim initiative being (X + 3d6), regular people actually get close to Critter's real-world 11+3d6 initiative.

Hell, she only has a VR initiative of 7+3d6. If anything, she finds VR slightly laggy.

That pleases me immensely for some reason.

@ismilealot - Just to ask, what type of spirit is your Spirit Bane? I think it's only supposed to be one type, right?

Given your reaction to the watcher/cat, I'm guessing Beast spirits?

Yes. Jane hasn't actually been a mage for very long, and a runner for only about a year & a half. So her experiences have been very limited. And as an unregistered mage her education has been very spotty as she's been educating herself from books she's been able to buy off the black market.

Oh, no problem. It was clear from your backstory that she was young and pretty new to this. I was just curious, as your character sheet didn't list a type.

Ok, so I apparently have no idea how to use Orokos. How do you get it to roll and show successes?

@p1erx0R - I assume you're logged in already?

The expression for rolling d6s, and counting the number that are 5 or above, is Xd6t5

You have to count 1s for glitches yourself.

Example roll: http://orokos.com/roll/184754

Didn't realize we were using Orokos over Invisible Castle. Future rolls will be Orokos from now on.

Moneyspider, do you prefer rolls in the IC thread or the OOC thread?

Ok thanks! (I'm still super new to all this pbp stuff. )

Okay, cool, I prefer them that way too. I feel like OOC rolls tend to get lost in the chatter.

Currently, Frankenstein's plan is just to hoof it to the meet and try to get into the party. I'm going to abstain from posting until then because my character isn't doing anything interesting.
