Jade had dismounted from the ATV without complaint... in part because her heavy armor had cooling magic within that kept her from even sweating in the desert heat. "Perhaps we can forge a new path in the anvil of the desert" she had suggested as she sat down with her legs stretched out and...

Jade steeples her fingers and puts her elbows on the table, trying to look collected and knowledgeable as her brain and stomach flip flop. "That will show the interior, but which hive did this come from? There are six and they're not all exactly the same. If we're fortunate, it will be the Dulu...

Okay, so... There was an invasion. We all got conscripted to work on a Sub. When the invasion ended, things happened and the paperwork on our sub as "lost" and it ended up transferred to us thanks to some mental juju from Phillip and a bit of Forgery and Smooth Talking from Al. Now, we ha...

The party would have had an intense bonding experience to draw them together AND a common enemy... some of the invaders might have survived and hold grudges!

Ah, dammit, who invited the stunty? :) Which reminds me, what's our motivation for being a team, there was some discussion of a common enemy, or everyone having an enemy or problem that drew them together or keeps them as a group.

An NPC engineer could be added. But many of the rolls seem to be getting filled. A dedicated engineer would make sense as someone who spends most of their time kn the ship.

Suggested Character Roles
The Face
The Engineer
The Thief
The Hulk/Tank

The Mage

Looks like we've got a mage (Jade), a pilot, a face, a psi, a thief (maybe the same one, given three psi-ghosts and two mind melters)... what else?

Aren't there three novice advances, at 5, 10 and 15 xp points, then 1 seasoned one at 20 Xp, and the final forum one at 25? The book says "4. Build your character as normal, and when finished, give her four Advances. This means she begins play as a Seasoned Rank character." And then... Ad...

I hope you all like him: viewtopic.php?p=82137#p82137

Shouldn’t he have one more Advance? 4 for MARS and two for a more experienced game per the GM?

Does Al only speak Elvish, BTW?

Jade the combat mage has Protection with the Mega Power Modifiers, so she can add 6-8 MDC armor to other party members for just one more power point when things get hairy. That helps! Seeing Goliath is a Kill Cat is another point in favor of playing Al over "Lucky." However, it might be c...

I'm still bouncing around between the two character ideas. The Elf is, without a doubt, better across the board in terms of skills, but he's also going to die in one hit from any sort of heavy hitter. The Cat, is more limited in terms of skills, but is much, much tougher. I also have more of an ide...

Enter: Jade Grimhilde - https://savaged.us/s/43qbaxz1

I have everything on there except the "strong suit of armor" free upgrade. One question... are there any languages outside of the list in the TLPG that are prominent in Atlantis?

Jade Grimhilde

Speaking of vehicles, could I trade two Rich rolls to get the TW wing board from the Mystic Gadgets equipment table?

Jade Grimhilde

Just to make sure, how do we handle rolls on the tables? Wait until the thread is up and roll in the character post? I got impatient and used a physical die when working up the Savaged.US site, but that may not be kosher.

Jade Grimhilde

EDIT: Also, reconsidering the Elf Thief. While he's VERY good at breaking and entering, he's really not great in terms of combat and has the potential to steal too much spotlight in skill challenge scenarios (D6 for all untrained skills is...really good.) I'll kick around a few more ideas and see w...

I prefer the idea of the sub

The T-23 Bottom Feeder Light Submarine, Atlantis p.61 could work too, and be crewed by just PCs. The mechanical arms option could be quite useful, and there are some mod slots.

I’ll be going with the Mage, Combat Mage, human or devilkin.

Jade Grimhilde

With the home base as a vehicle, we don’t have to worry about it being looted when we’re not there! Some suitable possibilities, big enough to hold the whole party and have office space, labs, etc: Skyborne Small TW airship, Atlantis p 63. Trident sub Atlantis p 159 (with some or all the weapons rem...

Jade Grimhilde

I’m interested (and I know Crusher Joe). Could do a blasty combat mage, though the pilot appeals a lot too. I like the idea of a carrier mothership so someone (or several people) could have fighter planes or flying submarines! Also robot vehicle ace.

"What is THAT?!" Yumi cries out, shocked and somehow offended at the presence of the undead juicer, indeed, its very existence! This is followed by a "Kyahhh!" of fear as the thing unleashed its psionic terror in tandem with its lightning, which she was already afraid of. Unrestr...

Jade Grimhilde

With a groan, Yumi rolled over onto her belly and started squeezing off shots from her laser pistol. Her accuracy wasn't great but it did draw a lot of fire her way, enough one of brodkil's shots found her despite her slight profile and slipped past her armor. 1d12+1 And -2 for that. 1d6\u0021\u0021

Jade Grimhilde

Yumi covered the door with her AP lasers as everyone else went in... it was clear she'd have to go in on foot, there was no way she could just tear the roof off and go in with her mecha, not with a bunker this heavily-reinforced. This sort of thing had come up before! She brought her Titan down to o...

Jade Grimhilde

1d12!! Yumi had been expecting more trouble to come pouring out of the bunker... auto-turrets, security robots, a whole horde... one guy who turned into a floating arm was a disappointment in a way, but maybe a lucky break too. As a teenager, she barely notices the difference from Fields' spell, bu...

Yumi was covering the door with her mecha's railgun as they approached, but moved it out of line as Dale excitedly headed for the controls. "Can you tell if those guys picked the lock before you?" she asks on the comm. "They must not have expected to be tracked and there doesn't seem ...

Yumi lets out a little sigh as the last of the fires go out... but then it's back to business. "They can't have gone far, or gone to ground" she sends over the com link. The sensor mast buzzes as she sweeps the area the object was located with her thermograph, night vision and magnifiers, ...

[roll][/roll]There's a moment's (relative) silence as the weapon fire fades away... Yumi sees her companions are up and the enemy is down (or eating out of Berk's hand).

Yumi’s eyes went wide as she felt a tremor in the ether, Spirit 1d6!! Wild die 1d6!! So a raise! a rift opening! ”There’s a dimension rip that way…” she warns, tossing her head towards the field and pushing away the strange vision for now. “We need to get through them to our mecha!” Yumi calls, slid...

“If it’s magic, or a bomb, or a magic bomb, we should definitely take care of it” Yumi says as she wipes her face. “I can work up an etheric scanner, that seems to register the ‘magic’ around here.”

Yumi's new squad mates can tell she's not from around here from the things she says and the things she doesn't know, that's for sure. Demons, giant bugs, the skull-faced legions of the Coalition States, all new to her and not that pleasant. She doesn't seem like a hardened mercenary but certainly ha...
