Honestly, with how this group is acting, I think the song to sum us all up is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWiB71D2IbI

I'll post up a song for Jack pretty soon as he mutes the pilots songs and tries to relax before going down.

Video didn't load for me on the phone, so I opened this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_l4Ab5FRwM ) link... and then I scrolled down to the comments... and then I turned off my phone so the stoobid wouldn't infect me (from both sides)

The internet is the worst, present company excluded.

eta: something I got to wondering about today, how does very high background count (like e.g. near a fragging nuclear blast site) affect ones relationship with ones mentor spirit?

I didn't want to put that one up because I didn't want people think I was trying to be preachy about the cause, even though I do sympathize with the people that are left behind. I'm not a service member and I have medical problems that keep me out of it, but if I could of, I would of probably be already in the service by now. But the internet is a scary place sometimes and I didn't want to bring those comments here.

Anyways, I think still think its a fitting song. And I have no idea about the mentor spirits, it just seemed fitting for my character to have one and the one that he has.

Also, sorry you had to waste your good roll on such a trivial thing rnb.

RULE NUMBER ONE OF THE INTERNET: DON'T READ THE COMMENTS.

[reyjinn]

Yep, linking to a video with the comments disabled was a good call. Youtube comments are a dark dark place.

I get some sort of perverse pleasure from reading comments sections from time to time, makes me feel good about myself

it has the opposite effect on me. I can only feel shame, unable to rid myself of the thought that i share genetic background with these people.

I'll double check about mentor spirits, but there should be no negative effects mechanically speaking. If anything, it should provide a good opportunity for the mentor spirit to provide some guidance.

Yeah, I figured that the abilities bestowed would be innate. What I was REALLY curious about was if in high enough background counts, do you lose contact? The mentor spirit is based on some metaplane or other right? So, if magic is nigh unusable somewhere I was thinking that you might not be able to get a 'signal' through.

[martinchaen]

Maybe, but I'd think that it would require astral rift type phenomena for that to occur, or the complete absence of mana like if you were on a space craft all by yourself. Not a problem even in the CZ, that's for sure.

[reyjinn]

OK, that's all good then. How would a mage estimate the amount (or lack there of) of mana? Does he just get a feeling for the environment (so that the player can know the background count) or would you say that an assensing check is in order?

[martinchaen]

A magician would know once he steps into an affected area; call it a gut feeling. Mechanically, I'll always tell you what the Background Count is.

A mundane would have to use an AMP (4th edition thing which I don't know if made it into Street Grimoire or not).

@Blaz, no worries, chum. You certainly didn't "make" me do anything. Who knows, maybe the luck will hold.

@reyjinn, can August draft Gale for drone-watching duty? He has a high perception, iirc, and we could cover more ground that way.

@Poindexter, will Weedy be bringing the Gauss on the humvee?

Of course, he has trodes in his helmet so getting the feed is not a problem.
If you'd like this to be a standard thing for viper team in transit I'll go back and edit my post so that he isn't just planning on shoe gazing during the ride.

aint perception through a drone called Electronic Warfare?

[reyjinn]

Suppose Gale would only be monitoring the vid feed from the drone, not actively perceiving through it.
In any case...

DRONE PERCEPTION
A drone observes its surroundings with a Pilot + Clearsight [Sensor] Test. If you’re jumped into the drone, you make a Perception + Intuition [Sensor] Test. Either way, you get to use the drone’s entire sensor suite, if it has one.

Was this changed in the errata?
