So, here's the final submission: Runesword (first upgrade): Short Sword, Str+d6 damage Minor: +2 Parry vs. foes targeted with Antithetical Blade ability Major: Antithetical Blade: As an action, the wielder of this weapon may specify a foe in view and make an Occult skill check.

I've got an idea for a Major Mod. My notion is that Jaenelle's Runesword is effective against supernatural creatures. Essentially, it would be like Wizard, but for the sword. 1 PPE for 5 rounds of the sword counting for a creature's Vulnerability or Weakness. However, unlike Smite, it has no effect...

Looks good. Approved.

Sorry, very late to the party, here: Two things: 1: I believe the costs listed should be doubled, for an Enchanted item rather than TW gear, per the Magic Item Creation Edges. This is almost irrelevant, as sig items generally don't get destroyed/etc, and Enchanted Items aren't subject to Tech Diffic...

Weird Science uses 'straight' Power Points--neither PPE nor ISP. (TLPG Pg 120). And Powers in created items always default to either an Arcane Skill, a non-Arcane Skill (if built that way), or Spirit.

So as Minors, "5 PPt internal storage, +1 to activation rolls for Powers" certainly works nicely. You do have to declare what the Skill is for activation of the Powers. Default would be either Weird Science or Spirit, but for something like this, I could see Electronics as an alternative.

Cloak approve

I believe that Item Creation usually has to map to the Power List of the creator. Weird Scientists get the TW list--which means no Puppet. I'm willing to be corrected on this, though. Here's the Power List for reference: arcane protection, barrier, blast, blind, bolt, boost/lower Trait, burrow, burs...

Unfortunately, existing TW items cannot be further upgraded. That said, there's a workaround: 1: Start with a baseline of the "Laser Sword" in SWADE core: Str+d6+8 Damage, AP 12. 2: Make it an Enchanted Item with two major and two minor upgrades. Two Edges for the Majors, obviously, with targets-may...

Yeah, the complete lack of drawbacks is making me reluctant to ever consider letting something (Arrogant isn't much of a drawback if you really are the best at everything, and Haughty is a Major Hindrance (Suspicious), but with enough exceptions to make it Minor again (to-wit, if you can build the p...

The strain of the strict quarantine order is clearly starting to put some pressure on the population--while there's still no major efforts at fleeing, nor active violence, the protests are both more frequent and louder, as various inconveniences start to mount.

Shadow Cloak gives 1 hour of invisability for 3 PPE I think.

But i think the toughness f the over coat is better

Ahhh. I had missed that change.

Fairly straightforward--approved. I do have a question--is the idea that the Stun and Entangle Powers are activated as part of the standard attack, based off the Fighting roll? If so, you need to state that, and adjust the cost of the powers (and hence, the cost of repairs), per the rules in the TW ...

This should be subtitled, "The Brutal Truth". I want to apologize to you all for a very lackluster quarter. My post rate is really higher than it should be, even, since I split the group--meaning not all of you had a chance to respond to every one of my posts. That said, then--VV and Matthew managed...

Finally getting to GM business this weekend.

Vote as thou wilt!

My only question is, "Why not a modified Armor Cloak?" It gives +2A/+1T as a base, you can add +2 Stealth, Invisibility and Fear to that. And that's just Enchanted; as TW, you can add +1 Toughness and +10 PPE, as well--or the Mega Mod for Invisibility, instead of the extra PPE, if you want to throw...

I'll admit, I was getting frustrated with Ramson--he simply wasn't a strong enough build for this game. Feeling a bit better about everything with Mal, though.

I do not want the information lost in the hangout.

For Q'omo you can search for *omo and the results will be 9 posts last quarter. This will allow you to better do it in the future.

Also, for EP purposes, I believe you should also be counting Nazo's posts.

Approved.

Adaptable is a +2 ability, even without getting BaH bonus. The ability to pick up any of the Background Edges, including ABs, is enough to keep it priced the same as a specific Racial Edge.

For the armor, I'd like to see an actual vote on the concealability issue. For the die, did you look at the Dumb Luck setting rule? It allows you to spend a Benny to reroll a critfail, BUT you suffer the negative consequences of the critfail in addition to the final roll result. So for instance, you...

Trolling aside as I pointed out above a PC cannot add the body armor results to gear by raw. But as the body armor table restricts adding the same bonus more than once, the enchantment tables limit you to +2, and the naruni is the same as the body armor table, you are effectively stacking the same ...

Okay, so I'm going to do a Best There Is version of this base armor, designed to achieve the same results. NE-C20 CAMOUFLAGE VARIABLE EBA, Enchanted Covered in a fiber-optic material, this suit of lightweight Naruni combat armor color shifts to match the surrounding area with custom camouflage patte...

Okay, the GM thread is getting overwhelmed. On the matter of concealment being added. I am 100% opposed to it. This gear should be nice, but it should not be the trump instant best gear. This thing is freakin medium armor with +2 toughness and +6 armor, turns invisible, and has other features. It i...

Note what we've learned about dealing with Granny (my last in-character post as Thissok)--it's dangerous business. We're probably better off showing up on her doorstep already in full form, if possible. Given that, I'm going to propose another option: 1: Find a Ley Line, either one in space if such ...

Works for me, looks solid.

As I said in-character, I think the option to infiltrate the security team gives us the most paths to success; If that isn't a popular option, I think hitting him on the road is our best choice.

Trying to understand:
The dark blue is the ley line on the fort map?
but
The light blue is the ley line on the area map?

I believe this is correct.

My question is, on the Area Map, there's some sort of symbol a few hexes to the west-by-southwest. Do we know what that represents?

Total of 9 EP spent for bennies here (5) and here (4).

And, because I'm not JUST a special snowflake, but also an idiot, I forgot to make it something she could actually use--an edit ties the Mind Reading Power to Electronics.

If by "Extras", you mean Sidekicks and Followers, then I disagree with them getting half-shares; equipping your tag-alongs is part of the downside of those Edges/abilities; they're loyal to your PC, and thus you need to pay their upkeep.

I guess a lot of it depend on how long the campaign is meant to run. For a one-shot, the rules should have very few unintended consequences, and it should be fairly minimized in a relatively short arc (say, one year). But after that, there'll be shifts in power.

Obviously Cyborgs of all flavors get through this with some hefty advantages, but I'm pretty sure that's not a bug but a feature of the proposal from your perspective. However, the same is true of Juicers and Cyber-Knights--sure, they don't get the "Improved" levels of various combat Edge chains, b...

HJ rolls will be tricky. What do PCs get if they roll a low number on one of the Gear Tables, letting them take choice of weapon? Can they even roll on Enchanted Items table? (Likewise, gear results off of F&G will cause much the same difficulty.) More HJ results: Concentration, Channeling and Wizar...

I really do not like setting the precedent of being able to get non gear hero's journey results with equipment.
I understand your reasoning but I think you risk opening the door

And I totally get that. If it's a bridge too far, I'll try to come up with something else for her.

This tool, disguised as a simple Translator, is actually also a capable voice-stress analysis machine that can, when activated, discretely signal the user that the person speaking is lying.

I like Tribe's version, but I did keep the +3, because the "as long as this fight lasts" Fatigue effect is still slightly longer than the Fatigue from the generic Modifier. (Ie, Fatigue from Smite would, i believe, last for 1 round, period. So this is definitely more useful than that.)

This carved and painted wooden mask grants the wearer the aspect of Coyote's darker nature. It was given to Yeitso by Coyote himself (or, at the very least, by the spirit that presented itself to him as Coyote).

The wand, at least, should experience the "enchanted equivalent of tech gear" price mark-up of 50% (so, giving it a final value of 33K). Also, how did you acquire the wand? Taking the weapon as part of your starting gear?

At Heroic, they have fewer slots--two major, two minor. But they don't suffer from Technical Difficulties because they aren't mechanical or electronic in nature.

Note: That's me. Some folks are okay with a wider interpretation of the Skill Bonus and Edge rules--if your GM is in that camp, I won't argue against it.

For Serival:. Grapnel gun, +2 Shooting, +2 DT Shooting.

The channeling edge is cool, but its benefits are somewhat outweighed by the increased cost to activate the device. Edges no longer add to the activation cost of Items, so Channeling is pretty useful. That said, i think that, like the bonus to Psionics, it would be limited to just the Divination Po...

I like it! The Psionics Skill boost should only be for using Divination Power, but the Occult Skill boost works as a general boost, since you're consulting the 8-Ball when making the roll.

At the end of the day, you're all able to touch base with one another and talk over events, vent about problems, or brag about moments of brilliance. Okay, this is for the whole group.

If you don't have increased power up costs for Edges, I will replace the +10 PPE with Alertness. I still like the +5 PPE

Yeah, they ditched the extra Edge cost for TW items in SWADE. Makes it a lot more attractive to put them on there.

J'approve!

Tribe; The Enchanted/TW confusion arises from the word "enchanted" in the first line of orange text. Totally down with a TW bow, yes.

Without access to Mega Modifiers (which can only be accessed by burning another Major Slot), I'm not sure, precisely, what you could manage to do with Shadow Manipulation. Going by the other element examples: Conjure a small area of shadow about a foot on one side. Stretch or shrink an existing shad...

The thing to remember is that the new version also allows you to spend your points as you earn them. So you start with (most likely) a Novice Edge, then you pick up an extra skill point along with the next Advance, and again the Advance after that. Compared to waiting nine months to get anything, th...
