I’d say the limited responses balances out the fact that it can be used anywhere, so you can probably get another minor mod.

GM Mini Update: The Mountaineer will be available to use again next round, though Conrad and Jameson will remain out of the fight (both are unconscious).

The shadow beast growls and shoots a dirty look in Toshiro 'Cybermonk' 's direction, before continuing to launch its breath weapon at the party. A massive ball of shadows blasts from its maw, catching Deezy, Toshiro, Miguel, White Castle, and Pahi in its blast radius! Each must make a Vigor roll or ...

+1 Benny to @Norona for posting on Miguel’s behalf, per Hangouts.

@Toshiro 'Cybermonk', the Big Bad’s Agility roll is a 2, so you interrupt as he rears his head back and shadows pull from the air around him to gather in his maw. He looks very much like a dragon preparing to use his breath weapon.

In anticipation of Deezy spending a Benny per the Hangout to make her shot a headshot, the Big Bad rolled to Soak: 6, and he is no longer shaken, but another GM Benny spent.

One of the vampires is visibly shaken by Sierra's barrage, but the others are unaffected.

Kuikku steps forward also with his hands out to his side, but does not summon his swords. Instead he quietly increases his capabilities but takes no offensive actions.

The Clay Man's eyes narrow at @Norona, and the creature seems to melt away, turning into soft clay and disappearing beneath the water.

Norona can sense that the danger has passed, at least for the moment.

@Koshnek, oh, I guess it is. Question retracted.

A query on the combat: could one choose to fight with no modifier, positive or negative, and just do a straight roll following the SWADE rules?

The two remaining Clay Men near the Mountaineer are immolated where they stand, the water around them beginning to boil as @Sierra Mackenzie's fury burns them away to nothing.

Only the two Clay Men near @Norona and @White Castle still fight on.

Clay Men Attack Even with only a handful of members forewarned, the 32nd’s wrath is swift and violent.

Also, I like the proposed setting rule, with Jon’s suggested edit that it be a roll on the death and defeat table.

I like the idea of making it Reload 3; that fits and is similar to what Roberson did for some of the energy weapons. In SWADE, can you fire a high ROF weapon at lower than its maximum ROF?

So, looking at the GAW Throwback, I have some notes: The -2 to recoil is an improved version of the Rock and Roll Edge that doesn't require you to stand still.

Depends on your definition of “better.” Does a patron weapon need to do more damage than its non-patron equivalent to be worth requesting? I don’t think so. I never said more damage.

My only concern with the “trapped as advance science” is the power points. I know Rob came up with a system for his games that they recharge like e-clips, and we’ll need some kind of easy to follow rules for recharging that doesn’t get too much into the weeds.

Heroic, says I.

Depends on your definition of “better.” Does a patron weapon need to do more damage than its non-patron equivalent to be worth requesting? I don’t think so.

Count me in the “style is good” camp. I think patron items should be unique and cool, but not necessarily more powerful than something a non-patron could buy/make.

Definitely need a non-arcane option.

Poor Tinkerer Edge. We hardly knew thee.

*wipes away a tear.

I’d propose that the features be limited to minor upgrade or HJ roll upgrade equivalents and that there be no more than 2 per combat item. Non-combat items can have a bit more leeway.

Per the EP menu, they’re Heroic level items. Not sure what else you mean (though I’m sure you mean more than just that).

You know a little more than that, though not a ton. You know they’re full of aggressive, magical clay monsters.

This seems to be a matter of perspective. If you see 2 EP as overpriced, I can see why you’d dislike the 1 EP option.

If you see 2 EP as the right price, then an option for an even cheaper Benny with an in-game twist becomes fun.

I’d like to propose that “Inspiration” cost 2 EP instead of 3, making it the same price as a Benny (which is the equivalent of the Luck Edge).

My view as well.

For clarity, I’m referring to the rule that off-the-shelf TW items cannot be upgraded, if that affects anyone’s opinions.

So, with the change to the TW construction rules, @RFT asked me to post here to get the team’s take on how to handle TW items we’ve already purchased/upgraded.

I’m of the opinion that we should keep any items we already have, but that we should follow the new rules going forward.

Thoughts?

The eco-wizard grins at @Norona. ”You have met our master, I think. You killed his squire, after all. Ask whatever you want, outsiders. You are all dead anyway.”

Norona remembers a passage he once read: "Clay men appeared as hunched over, barrel-chested beings with mottled grey-white skin and large flakes of dried flesh coming off them in sheets like a snake shedding its skin. The things resembled giant grubs with legs and arms. Each had a thick, soft ...
