Indeed there is a functioning Garage big enough to get the Glitter Boy and Mountaineer in to do some proper work on either.

Paying no heed to Jude's warding off of evil - it's not the first she's seen it - Lucretia continues to address the Major. "The vampire we fought - Soldad - is very powerful. We were able to chase him off, but partly that's because we caught him by surprise." She pauses, formulating her t...

-Lucretia you got the Major and his men to stop, they are waiting to see what exactly you say.

-Bane, Max, Kesslan you are really close the group, just on the otherside of the river. You probably notice Jude trying to figure out how to get into Nadine.

Looks fine to me.

Holographic technology combined with computer generated imagery. It's just the trapping of the mechanical effect. If it makes it easier I can build it as a tw device.

I am open to suggestions. The screens just make it more difficult to see the people inside the vehicle. Seems like a -2 to notice is reasonable. The trapping is that it makes non humans appear more human. Follows the line of dim or medium cover penalties.

Sweet, you can keep narrating as the major will listen to what you have to say. Depending what you say he may go aLong with it. I will put the result in the next post. But if you are looking to join forces he is probably up for it. Might be handy to have some allied extras just watch your back again...

Ok, so as to the adventure card thing. I don't recall ever actually rolling for one, or if I did I totally don't recall what it is and obviously never noted it anywhere.

Bennies refresh after social conflict... basically I think Jude needs to post, and the bennies will refresh at that point.

What about fortune and glory rolls? He is not rolling on the back tables. Which is what conrad is specifically talking about.

BTW that fear check at -4 is one of those things I think is kind of out there so early on. Though it's part of why I hoarded so many bennies. If I understand the system correctly to beat a fear check at -4 you'd need a 8+ on your spirit dice roll. On top of that the penalty is added to the fright t...

Yeah thats fine. If you want to note on your character sheet a standard gear loadout you bring with you when not in the Titan that would be awesome.

I like it +1 bennie to Libertas. Jude will indeed have a minus 2 to his persuasion roll.

I wonder if that would apply to fortune and glory rolls?

Kesslan wrote:Dogboy should still. The psychich sense isn't actually a smell, it's merely interpreted by the dog boy as such on a basic level.

Ok.

Just so I am not confused and can give appropriate notice info out. If a dog boy is using his sniffer to detect arcana would his other smelling faculties be impared while he is doing that. Like he rolls notice declares he is sniffing for arcana, if a smelly (+2 to notice because he does not wash) no...

All that beimg said as long as no one else has an issue with it. Lets try it as a free action, but just like some of the cyber knights powers it must be declared and the notice roll rolled specifically for that.

I dont nessesarily disagree with anything max or kesslan have said about their psychic sense flavor wise. Mechanically the dog boys have the ability to use detect arcana. It is trapped as a sense so it uses the notice skill instead of spellcasting. They can add bonuses to notice skill like alertness...

-psychic sense Is the detect arcana power but instead of a spell casting skill the dog boys use notice. To me it is not a free action to activate a power unless specifiied like the mystic's ability to use detect arcana at will as a free action. That is how I read the rules. Also keep in mind it does...

Thanks Kesslan, great feedback. I would love to try and have two action threads, 1 for rolls and 1 for the narrative influenced by the rolls. I am probably interpreting the dog boys psychic sense incorrectly, I just assumed that it requires an action to detect arcana, if I missed that I am sorry. Ag...

Plot appropriate short range.

Hey Lucretia thanks for the feedback. This is just a great starting off point for me to get better. I do apologize to everyone for how the social conflict and the CS just showed up.

Looking at the rules for drowning, i think you will just take a level of fatigue and get swept down the river 6 or so inches. But it was damn heroic.

It appears to be a bit more instantaneous and perhaps savage in savage rifts. Once a target is capacitated by a vamps bite, the vamp can either choose to make them a thrall or attempt to turn them. A few rolls are made, and bam you have a chance to become a wild vampire.

I like it

You would need seasoned and ace. If you meet both those requirements you can take the edge.

The rules for how long someone turns after being bit by a wild vampire from what I read do not specify an exact time, but probably a round or 2 at the most. For this it is 3 rounds. - social conflict was the best way I could handle everyone throwing out persuasion rolls when the CS showed up, but yo...

Good point Deezy. I am just trying to beat the idea and play devils advocate. So another thought I had.

Hey Kesslan,

You do not have to do a persuasion roll. If you can think of something else to help Bane do it and roll the skill that most resembles what you are doing. Each success will add a plus 1 to the main persons roll.

Not sure how Jude could screw up a social conflict with a plus 8 to his persuasion rolls.

Yeah go ahead.

Yes he can because everyone except for the cs major, the sister, and Lucretia(probably) backed away. So it is obvious. As for how far away, it would be plot appropriate short range, so within your normal movement. Although keep in mind prone does give a bonus to cover vs ranged attacks, so if Libert...

You guys were able to use the rubble of the bridge to set an appropriate foot path.

Hey Bane you were able to see where the teleport spell dropped him. To the north on the non town side of the river.

Really great and in some cases heart wrenching interludes guys. I apologize for not explaining the interludes a bit more, but generally no rolls are needed.

As far as I know bonuses and negatives apply to the trait roll and wild die.
