Spartacus does not know how long he lay there unconscious but he knew he was dying. He senses someone leaning over him but he does not know who it is though he knows it is a living being with a hearbeat. With the last of his strength he grasps the figure before him and gasps, "Take the letter.....

Watching Ink stalk off Spartacus turns to the others, "There is something you should know," he says pulling Marcus' letter from his breastplate. "A request has been made by Doc Reid of Reid's Rangers for assistance. He may also have intelligence on what the vampires' intentions are mo...

Rolls carried forward... The sound of an explosion rips into Spartacus' thoughts like a buzzsaw. Leaping to his feet he raced towards the explosion but left his armor unpowered. It would protect him well enough and the extra weight would not slow him down. Arriving at the scene he witnesses the exch...

How about this. It uses the Habit mechanics, but instead of missing one's habit, it adds in a mechanic to see if you got sleep or not before it kicks in. The Minor version gets a bonus to this roll.

The squares are 1 inch across, right? Just want to check because I didn't see a legend there.

I'm not going to spend a bennie on a soak roll. I have healing via my armor so I'll take my chances and heal later. The dice can't hate me forever.

[dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice] I suppose I'll have to make an adjustment to get the throwing skill. I'll take a half dozen UV grenades. At least when they scatter I won't kill anyone. Spartacus looks into the bag and says, "This is a great honorrr. Please thank Sir Marrrcus for me." Why wo...

Spartacus eyes the bandoleer appreciatively, "Mistress Tarrra must be a... formidable female to where such as this, Masterrr Tylerrr, you both have my thanks." As he turns to leave with the craftsman Spartacus takes note of the crest emblazoned on a bag sitting behind the counter at the re...

I updated my post to include a request to Tyler for a belt or bandoleer to hold stakes. The persuasion roll failed miserably of course (no persuasion skill) but at least I didn't get a critical failure asking for a belt.

Cyber-Knight starting gear includes a silver cross and six stakes. Also the description of the silver cross in TLPG says it can be sharpened at the end like a dagger and does Str + d4 damage. If I can trap smite with the sunlight trapping and use it on my laser weapons if needed then that plus the p...

It is only mildly annoying that a psi-sword can't kill a vampire since it can at least incapacitate one. I don't suppose that Spartacus can pick up a bandoleer or belt to hold extra wooden stakes for handy deployment? :) Go ahead and ask Tyler if you want something super cool. Would that include mu...

Greater Smite lets you add a trapping of choice, which you could always make sunlight or running water. But Spartacus probably doesn't have Master Psionics yet. Or trap regular smite as sunlight damage or water damage. Currently I have my smite trapped with the flammable trapping. I do like the ide...

Well, thanks anyway but nothing new there for me.

I could have sworn that a Psi-Sword counts as silver or something equivalent against vampires. But right now I'm having trouble locating the reference. I wonder if it was in the FAQ section of the peg forums?

Well it looks like everyone ends up at the briefing at Castle Refuge one way or the other so I'll stick with my original back story. No need to complicate things at this point.

Notice Die [dice]0[/dice] Wild Die [dice]1[/dice] Spartacus' eyes narrow as he listens to the briefing and watches the antics of this so called Captain Lumkiss. Ah, well as long as his information is accurate and he does not actually command this expedition then I shall not concern myself with this...

I had my background ending up with Lord Coake sending Spartacus to the Tomorrow Legion to assist their efforts. However, if the True Atlanteans show up he could be shortstopped and sent with them instead.

Lets try this again

Well there is a quite a bit of overlap though the Wolfen's Code of Honor is more institutionalized. Duty, honor and loyalty the state (or other organization) that they have sworn fealty to. In the case of a Cyber Knight the code of honor, of duty and loyalty is to the ideals they as Cyber-Knights pe...
