Re: PW Out of Character
Death Otter wants a Ultra High end 3d Printer and Jon was asking about getting it for her.
The printer and 10 pounds of various materials will cost $20,000.
Unless there is a book item to use for reference pricing.
PS: I think the cost should come out of "Group Loot".

Re: PW Out of Character
Death Disk Weapons System
Malkovich Enterprises
This highly sophisticated weapon combines a miniaturized computer guidance system with a battery-powered contra-gravity system to produce a flying buzz-saw! The spinning. "buzz-saw" disk is released from a wrist mounting on the arm and flies to attack one target attacking repeatedly, or to strike at several targets, or even follow one specific target for several yards!
The weapon system consists of a 5 inch widc ( 1 2.7 cm) jagged disk with mono-molecular M.D.C. edges and a wrist mounting that can be built into body amboy. power amber, cyborg and robot limbs. or wom as a long metallic glove. At the center of the disk is a smaller, slightly thicker disk which contains both !he guidance system and the contra-gravity generator. A laser aiming system is built into the wrist mounting/disk launcher and can be linked to a pleads-Up-Display (HUD) built into a helmet.
The weapon user designates a target by "pinging" him with a low-power laser beam (inflicts no damage). A split-second later, the disk is flung from the wrist mounting and flies towards the target at bullet speed.
Multiple targets can be selected by "illuminating" them with the laser aiming system, one after another the disk strikes at the first victim and then immediately changes trajectory to strike whatever target is designated next by the laser. Keeping the laser trained on one target will cause the disk to strike that target repeatedly. Each laser designation requires the character using the death disk to point and aim at each desired target, making this primarily a "line of sight" system. Each act of pointing or targeting action counts as an action. The disk will fly from one target to the next and finally dart back towards the shooter and reattach itself to the wrist mounting at the end of the melee round (~6 second period).
The shooter can also send the disk on a "search and destroy" mission. in which the computer guidance system will follow one specific target whose image is temporarily stored in a memory chip on the disk and pursue that target until it strikes. In this mode the disk can move through crowds and around obstacles to strike the designated target. but only once. If the target, hides behind a barrier and the disk cannot get to him within one round. It flies back to the shooter. reattaches itself to the mechanism and waits to be fired again (at the same or a different target).
Note: In both modes, the disk is self-guided; Has a d8 for Fighting and Agility Parry of 6 (-2 to be hit with attacks because of size). If it hits an obstacle (like some body leaping in front of it or a fake field barricading its way, the disk hits the interfering target and returns to the shooter.
Weight: 7 lbs. (3.2 kg) counting both the disks and the wrist housing/metallic glove.
Mega-Damage: 2D6 M.D. AP 4 per strike
Rate of Fire: Special - The launched disk will make three attacks per turn in in normal mode and requires 1 action from the user or 1 attack in Seek and Destroy mode.
Maximum Effective Range: 18” in normal mode or 48” in Seek and Destroy mode.
Payload: One disk. The battery on the glove launcher has an 18 hour life even with frequent use, before requiring recharging (takes three hours to recharge). Two spare disks can be carried in a pouch that can be attached to a belt. A spare can only be used when the original disk is destroyed; the aiming and guidance system cannot coordinate the attacks of more than a single disk.
It takes two melee Rounds (30 seconds) for the launch and targeting system to link with and encode with the new disk. Each disk has an Toughness 10.
Cost: 80,000 credits. Each battery costs 500 credits. The old battery can be Removed and a new battery hooked-up in 1d4 minutes. New Blades cost 10,000 credits each.

Materials will vary, but the black box will be a token amount not worth accounting like a few hundred credits.

Re: PW Out of Character
If it's ultimately a 'group possession'--something anyone can make personal use of if they provide the base materials--then yes, it should come out of group funds. If DO wants exclusive ownership rights, then she can buy it.

Re: PW Out of Character
Okay, look like I failed to cover the base language. So everyone please write you primary language on your sheet. I strongly suggest Trade 6 so everyone is on the same page.
Please reply here when done.

Trade 6 for Ramson. He probably hasn't spoken Simvan for more than a decade (possibly two), so he's probably a little rusty.

Trade 6 for Otter, I expect...and now I know what to save up for. Translator!
Re: PW Out of Character
I've got Trade 4 on my sheet b/c that's what was closest to American in the PW book. I'm happy to do Trade 6 instead. Whatever the team picks is fine by me.

U.W.W. Warlock Marine Body Armor (Arzno TWA-1600 Exterminator EBA)
Standard issue for the Warlock Marines, this armor’s TW enhancements allow the user to wield weapons normally the exclusive domain of Combat Cyborgs and power armor troops. Like all U.W.W. armor, it comes standard with silver-plated spikes for fighting vampires (+1d4 damage to unarmed attacks).
Armor: +8 Armor, +3 Toughness
Strength: Add two steps to Strength for 1 Power Point per hour.
Powers: The wearer may use her own Power Points to activate the following powers with the Range (Self) limitation: boost Trait (Strength) and deflection. All can be activated using the suit’s Spellcasting of d8.
Minimum Strength: d8 (18 lb)
Cost: 185,000 credits
swapped out for
U.W.W. Warlock Marine Mechanic corp Body Armor (Triax T-13 Field Mechanic)

Strength: Add two steps to Strength for 1 Power Point per hour.
Powers: The wearer may use her own Power Points to activate the following powers with the Range (Self) limitation: boost Trait (Strength) and deflection. All can be activated using the suit’s Spellcasting of d8.
Minimum Strength: d8 (18 lb)
Cost: 115,000 credit
It also comes equipped with a sidearm shoulder holster, additional equipment pouches attached to the holster belt or the legs, and a portable tool kit attached to the waist belt.
Larger equipment and tool kits are transported by hand, but the T-13 armor has some builtin tools to facilitate field repairs.
First is a laser torch built into the right or left arm. In a pinch, the laser torch can be used as a weapon (Range 4/8/16, Damage 3d6, RoF 1, AP 3, Mega Damage).
On the opposite arm, the T-13 features an extendable robot arm, used to access small areas and conduct repairs out of the mechanic’s normal reach. The arm is fully articulated, able to use tools, pick up objects, manipulate controls, and so forth. It gives the mechanic Reach 1 and Strength d6. The robot arm is equipped with a laser finger which inflicts Str+d4 damage if used in melee.
The Field Mechanic Cyclops helmet is equipped with a pair of directional lights, as well as additional optics enhancement with 10× magnification, a thermal vision mode, and a spectrographic scanner used to locate microfractures, metal fatigue, and other subtle signs of damage.
All of this grants the wearer +2 on Repair checks.
T-13 body armor provides Full Environmental Protection.
It also has built-in mini-computers for basic functions; a communications system with a 10 mile range; public-address loudspeakers; a laser distancer; and a nightvision mode for vision

Worksheet
All costs pre-markup
Omniscience Sensor Array - (Note: Paid for pre-500k payout, no markup included)
Total Cost: 75,00 credits
Multi-Optics Helmet (integrated with existing armor suit)
Prep for Minor mods - 5,000
Minor - +1 Notice - 5,000
Minor - +1 Notice - 5,000
Prep for major mods - 10,000
Major - Edge: Alertness - 20,000
Major - 10 power points - 30,000
Pricing Patron Infowarfare armor for purposes of determining cost of mods:
- Find comparable Body Armor
* - Armor is light, comparable in protection to Plastic Man armor
* - Armor is concealable, similar to light Ley Line and Cyberknight armor but no penalty to Notice checks to detect it
* - Extra Protection vs electrical effects
* * * For these features, I price the armor at 25,000 credits - The Plastic Man is 18k, while the ability to wear this armor under clothes is a minor convenience, since an unmodified Notice check will still see it, that I credited for 1000 credits. The +4 versus electricity, radiation and ion attacks is however quite valuable, adding another 6,000 to the mix; a guesstimate based loosely on the light LLW armor's resistance to disease and poison vs the suit cost of 9k.
* - Advanced optics (thermal) and communications gear similar to Triax body armors - 5k
* * * The Mechanic armor has thermal vision, the standard infantry suit does not. The armors are otherwise comparable other than the Mechanic's field repair kit, which doubles as an improvised weapon. The Mechanic suit costs 15k more than the standard infantry suit. If we apportion the extra cost evenly between improved vision, repair bonus and weapon function, that gives us 5k to value each extra function.
* - Ability to interfere with radio communications in MBT (treat as a Power) - 20k
* * * Nothing else has anything like this. I figured I could treat it as a Power being added to the device, which as a major upgrade would cost 20,000 credits, even though this doesn't actually take an upgrade 'slot.'

Re: PW Out of Character
@RFT How many upgrades do you figure CK Medium Armor have? I’d guess they start with two majors (healing and relief) and one minor (environmental system). That should leave one major and two minor slots open; does that seem right to you? Note that they are no longer ridiculously lightweight, so the upgrade slots previously spent on reducing the weight are gone.

U.W.W. Warlock Marine Mechanic corp Body Armor (Triax T-13 Field Mechanic)
Standard issue for the Warlock Marines, this armor’s TW enhancements allow the user to wield weapons normally the exclusive domain of Combat Cyborgs and power armor troops. Like all U.W.W. armor, it comes standard with silver-plated spikes for fighting vampires (+1d4 damage to unarmed attacks).
Armor: +8 Armor, +3 Toughness
Strength: Add two steps to Strength for 1 Power Point per hour.
Powers: The wearer may use her own Power Points to activate the following powers with the Range (Self) limitation: boost Trait (Strength) and deflection. All can be activated using the suit’s Spellcasting of d8.
Minimum Strength: d8 (18 lb)
Cost: 115,000 credit
It also comes equipped with a sidearm shoulder holster, additional equipment pouches attached to the holster belt or the legs, and a portable tool kit attached to the waist belt.
Larger equipment and tool kits are transported by hand, but the T-13 armor has some builtin tools to facilitate field repairs.
First is a laser torch built into the right or left arm. In a pinch, the laser torch can be used as a weapon (Range 4/8/16, Damage 3d6, RoF 1, AP 3, Mega Damage).
On the opposite arm, the T-13 features an extendable robot arm, used to access small areas and conduct repairs out of the mechanic’s normal reach. The arm is fully articulated, able to use tools, pick up objects, manipulate controls, and so forth. It gives the mechanic Reach 1 and Strength d6. The robot arm is equipped with a laser finger which inflicts Str+d4 damage if used in melee.
The Field Mechanic Cyclops helmet is equipped with a pair of directional lights, as well as additional optics enhancement with 10× magnification, a thermal vision mode, and a spectrographic scanner used to locate microfractures, metal fatigue, and other subtle signs of damage.
All of this grants the wearer +2 on Repair checks.
T-13 body armor provides Full Environmental Protection.
It also has built-in mini-computers for basic functions; a communications system with a 10 mile range; public-address loudspeakers; a laser distancer; and a nightvision mode for vision
T-13 Armor has no Strength Minimum (18 lb)
This look like you are combining the old stuff with the new stuff. Most of this no longer applies to the T-13. Take a the stuff in the OOC below which is the new baseline for the T-13 and use it for building your model. I also need to see what enhancements you are adding. This one above looks to be enhanced so much it is essentially the best of two suits.

I am pretty sure by intent the Steady Hands would need to be applied to the fire arm you are shooting with (or perhaps a stabilizer harness) But not to the vehicle you are piloting.
However an Enchanted pair of shooting cloves of some such could do the same thing and does not have the same restriction.

Note that they are no longer ridiculously lightweight, so the upgrade slots previously spent on reducing the weight are gone.
I think based on the abilities disappearing when not charged that all those extra slots are also wasted on the basic traits of the armor (Armor and Toughness). I think this is an example of mass production making it so there are more slots available or more can be done.Playtest 4 page 91 wrote:Techno-Wizardry Gear: Characters with an appropriate Arcane Background—or special ability—may use and power Techno-Wizardry (TW) gear with their personal pool of Power Points (PP), whether PPE or ISP. Activate TW gear embedded powers using the wielder’s PP and Arcane Skill or Spirit; Critical Failures cause Technical Difficulties, see Techno-Wizardry Gear on page 83.
Techno-Wizardry Armor Activation: TW armor requires 1 Power Point per hour to function or it loses all special abilities (including EBA) and Armor/Toughness bonuses are halved (round down).
However mass production also means stabilized technology and common customization.
So while I am fully admitting it is not following RAW, lets go with you have room for 1 Major and 2 minors while still being in the Heroic range.
If we want to talk about Legendary stuff then that will require a one off negotiation with a Legendary TW. But would not be impossible (or even unlikely) on Center for the right price.

Re: PW Out of Character
Alright, let's do this. Kharis will seek out a legendary TW to add some extras to his armor. That will give him 2 Majors and 3 Minors to play with. He already used up a Minor and a Major on his character generation shopping spree. If he can find a legendary TW, that will mean he has one Major and 2 Minors left to play with.RFT wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:07 am

Re: PW Out of Character
I think HJ rolls would take up upgrade slots. So no you cannot further enhance a legendary suit with even more awesome. Sorry.
The embedded weapon would likewise be converted. But to make it worse this would mean that a TW is needed to remove or add the weapons. I do not advise this, perhaps keeping the money is better or buying something else?

Re: PW Out of Character
@RFT Seeing as how no answer on modifiers for powers in TW items seems forthcoming on the forums, how do you propose I go about the modifiers for Kharis' various items? I'm guessing they need to be chosen at the time they are created and the powers would always activate with said modifiers (similar to how trappings used to work in SWD), but please let me know.
I'm also unclear on how Mega Modifiers play with powers embedded in TW devices.

Re: PW Out of Character
I think your proposal is fine for our game.
I suspect TW will land where power modifiers will need to be built in to the device (except TW personal gadgets). Design wise I kind of like that makes weapons etc. a l little different from each other rather than just a free power.

Re: PW Out of Character
Another, slightly less expensive version, might be to make a specific Mod that allowed an item's Powers to be given Modifiers. Call it "Selector Switch" or "Variable Controls" or somesuch. Major Mod, 10-20K, seems about right, I think. So at Heroic, a TW could make an item with 2 Powers, both of which would be Variable.RFT wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 1:25 pmUntil we get a better answer I am ruling in Phase World a TW item is designed with the expected modifiers accounted for.

Mind you, personally I think it should be on a case by case basis--Modifiers that are just 'amped up' versions of the base Power don't seem particularly offensive to me as something that can be done easily by the device; 'funky effects' (like Hinder/Hurry or Shroud/Glow) might need to be fixed in place as above, and some (Additional Targets on a worn item) might be right off the table. But I get that that involves a lot of GM finesse/involvement.

Re: PW Out of Character
Yes, anyone who used the device would be using it with the Mega Modifier. Even a novice psionic wild talent with only 3 powers and d4 skill would be able to rock that Mega Bolt.
I am also partial to the mod suggested by @Freemage and think it would be something to consider. Perhaps we raise the price a little though to about 40K, because it makes the device so much more useful.

I think the count of Upgrade Slots is off, there, unless we've got a Legendary TW around. Veteran only gets you 3 and 3, now.
Re: PW Out of Character
D’oh. You are correct. I had one major too many. I’ll drop the extra die type or something.

Maybe -2 to sound related notice rolls. Which also means that those notice rolls would need to happen instead of automatic like with a normal vehicle.

@RFT Here is Kharis' final shopping list. Please note, it's undergone some changes since the spitballing we did above. I went with speed on the hover cycle instead of deflection because it sounded more fun. Please let me know what you think overall.

Helka Ohtar Battle Armor (CK Medium) (0 credits; base item already owned)
TW Shield (0 credits; base item already owned)

Sure, I feel okay with threader items.Death Otter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 11:06 pm Worksheet
All costs pre-markup
Omniscience Sensor Array - (Note: Paid for pre-500k payout, no markup included)
Total Cost: 75,00 credits
Multi-Optics Helmet (integrated with existing armor suit)
Prep for Minor mods - 5,000
Minor - +1 Notice - 5,000
Minor - +1 Notice - 5,000
Prep for major mods - 10,000
Major - Edge: Alertness - 20,000
Major - 10 power points - 30,000
Pricing Patron Infowarfare armor for purposes of determining cost of mods:
- Find comparable Body Armor
* - Armor is light, comparable in protection to Plastic Man armor
* - Armor is concealable, similar to light Ley Line and Cyberknight armor but no penalty to Notice checks to detect it
* - Extra Protection vs electrical effects
* * * For these features, I price the armor at 25,000 credits - The Plastic Man is 18k, while the ability to wear this armor under clothes is a minor convenience, since an unmodified Notice check will still see it, that I credited for 1000 credits. The +4 versus electricity, radiation and ion attacks is however quite valuable, adding another 6,000 to the mix; a guesstimate based loosely on the light LLW armor's resistance to disease and poison vs the suit cost of 9k.
* - Advanced optics (thermal) and communications gear similar to Triax body armors - 5k
* * * The Mechanic armor has thermal vision, the standard infantry suit does not. The armors are otherwise comparable other than the Mechanic's field repair kit, which doubles as an improvised weapon. The Mechanic suit costs 15k more than the standard infantry suit. If we apportion the extra cost evenly between improved vision, repair bonus and weapon function, that gives us 5k to value each extra function.
* - Ability to interfere with radio communications in MBT (treat as a Power) - 20k
* * * Nothing else has anything like this. I figured I could treat it as a Power being added to the device, which as a major upgrade would cost 20,000 credits, even though this doesn't actually take an upgrade 'slot.'

Re: PW Out of Character
I'm having some trouble figuring out what the Equalizer was based on but with damages for ranged mostly staying the same I see little reason to change it. Plasma weapons actually do more damage now but I think a 3d10 pistol is a bit much.
NG Equalizer (Patron Item)
• Range: 10/20/40
• Damage: 3d6
[list]☞ Special: If hit, whether damaged or not, the target of the attack rolls Strength versus the shooting roll of the attacker. If the target fails, they are knocked prone, or pushed 1" and knocked prone if the shooter gets a raise on the roll. This does not affect targets size 3 or greater. If they hit an obstacle while being pushed, they can be Shaken, as per the Push Maneuver on SWD p. 85. The same page also has information on the effects of Prone.
[/list]• RoF: 1
• AP: 0
• Shots: 6
• Features:
[list]☞ Min Str d6
☞ Adaptive Engineering: Can also use NE-002PC "Medium" Plasma Cartridges
[list]Damage: 3d8
AP: 0
Notes: Mega Damage, Plasma
[/list]☞ Fast Draw Holster: Due to the custom fitted grip and custom holster, the weapon nearly springs into the wielder's hand. It is a free action to draw.
☞ Steady Shot Aim Assist: Microsensors in the weapon eliminate excessive gun motion, centering the gun in relation to the grip, allowing for greater accuracy while on the move. The wielder gains the benefits of the Steady Hands Edge as it applies to this gun only, including shooting while running and shooting from moving vehicles.
☞ Laser Targeting: When activated, this integrated laser targeting module provides +1 to Shooting rolls. '
☞ Shiny: This custom beast of a weapon always draws attention and admiration. People are always asking about it, even when you'd rather they just ignore you.
☞ Unique Ammo: Ammunition is only available at official Northern Gun outlets: 200 credits per round[/list]
I don't know if the Long Coat patron item is gonna be changed or not so I've left that as it was in SWD
Her armor still works with the new enchantment rules so the only change to it is the +1 toughness most light armor received.

Does the "You may add 1 Major and 2 Minor" apply to all off-the-shelf armors, then? Considering getting an upgrade set for the UWW armor, too.

RFT wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:07 am I think based on the abilities disappearing when not charged that all those extra slots are also wasted on the basic traits of the armor (Armor and Toughness). I think this is an example of mass production making it so there are more slots available or more can be done.
However mass production also means stabilized technology and common customization.
So while I am fully admitting it is not following RAW, lets go with you have room for 1 Major and 2 minors while still being in the Heroic range.
If we want to talk about Legendary stuff then that will require a one off negotiation with a Legendary TW. But would not be impossible (or even unlikely) on Center for the right price.
I do not know what you have so lets used the following as a guideline. I am not set in stone on this simple assessment and would appreciate feedback.
- Adventure Survival Light Armor (TW) = Room for 3 Major and 2 Minor upgrades available
Notes: +2 vs all Hazards. (Counted as 1 minor) - Ley Line Walker Light Armor (TW) = Room for 3 Major and 1 Minor upgrades available

Notes: +4 vs disease and poison. (Counted as 1 minor) - Combat Mage Heavy EBA (TW) = Room for 2 Minor upgrades available.
Notes: while powered increase Strength two dice and ignore Min Str, farsight and darksight. (Counted as 5 major) - Cyber-Knight Light EBA (TW) = Room for 2 Major and 1 Minor upgrades available
Notes: +2 Pace and +1” leaping, wall walker, –1 to Notice rolls made to detect the armor. (Counted as 1 Major and 2 minor) - Cyber-Knight Medium EBA (TW) = Room for 1 Major and 2 Minor upgrades available
Notes: healing and relief. Requires an interface with Cyber-Armor (see page 27) to function. (Counted as 2 Major and 1 minor (for +2 armor over 4), special limitation[was waved one off because of change in versions]) - Cyber-Knight Heavy EBA (TW) = Room for 2 Major and 2 Minor upgrades available
Notes: barrier. Requires an interface with Cyber-Armor (see page 27) to function. (Counted as 1 Major and 1 minor (for +2 armor over 6), special limitation)

Rob, add shark teeth to the band, and add a connected a throat band with a voice modulator on it, sound about right for double weight?

Re: PW Out of Character
Savage Band (base item: Communications Band)
This modified Communications Band has had the
usal radio transistors, embedded copper wiring, and
various other metal and plastic elements further
modified with a ring of teeth (shark-like, at least)
around the gold headband, and has been fitted with
an additional iron collar with an onyx voice modulator
that goes over the voicebox of the user. As usual, it
grants the speak language power but also adds
+1 to Persuasion, Performance and Intimidation rolls.
In addition, it also grants the Menacing and Rabble
Rouser Edges to the wearer, empowering aggressive
approaches to negotiations.
(1 lb, base item 34,000 credits)

New Stuff:
Personal Force Field, Sci-Fi Companion:
Force Field, Personal: Ultra Tech. A
personal force field typically worn as a belt.
Provides +4 Armor against all types of attack
(except arcane). It’s powered by enough
energy for 24 hours of continuous use, then
must be recharged for one hour. Force fields
stack with all other types of armor except
other personal force fields, and are not
affected by AP. (4 lb, $2000)
So, using the usual x10 rule of thumb, 20K Cr.
Replacing this with one of the Naruni Force Fields from EoH (this will be updated as needed, of course):
N-F40A Heavy Force Field:
Runs off an E-Clip for 8 hours, and
provides +4 Toughness while activated

50,000 to embed into his armor.

Re: PW Out of Character
Hum, officially only personal gear is x10 cost and available (not weapons, armor, vehicles and robots). But I absolutely think the rest of that stuff is on Phase World and have said as much before to another player (must have been a pm, because I cannot find it).
I need to look at Rifts Sourcebook 1 for pricing of robots.
They are definitely available, But I think 1.3 million is way to much.
On the other hand, while I don't mind you having a score of extras. I am not a big fan of a wild card combat NPC laying around for purchase. Let me have a little time to think of the ramifications (if any).

Re: PW Out of Character
Skelebot = 3 Million
Dynabot = 4 million
Mobile gun = 40 million
Multibot = 22 million
Light labor boot = 2 million
Heavy labor bot = 4 million
Honestly these all feel to high as well. The robots would need be cheap enough companies could use them to eliminate workers.
Lets go with Listed Science Fiction Companion value x10.
Weapons should be bought from the Rifts Tomorrow Leagion Players Guide selection, personal force field is an option but for the robot instead of getting to run off eclip it ties into the robots power and costs 50k.
Wild Card is off the table for now without the sidekick edge, we already have 11 in this group.

Re: PW Out of Character
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?

Given we're a "big damn heroes" type group leaving them grandfathered is probably fine. Although, Sa'Maku is kind of anti-magic so I don't really have a stake in the game.

Re: PW Out of Character
Rinoa has some gear coming from her recreation, 40,000 credits worth. I put it into reserve so I could get her done. Also the 500,000 credit reward.
Looking at adding the Laser Dot Sight and a scope to her pistol. was originally looking at the core SWADE book but there is a scope in the equipment list. These bonuses would only apply if I use them. the laser dot sight adds a +1 to short and medium range. the scope would require that I take an aimed shot with the pistol to get the benefits.
Part of my redesign of Rinoa was realizing I needed to increase her strength. She currently only has a d6 str so it puts a lot of bigger rifles out of her range.
TW conversion Wilk's 457 Pulse Rifle
Base cost: 40000
Conversion Cost: 8000
subtotal: 48000

Sub-total: 85,000
sub-total 30% Markup Price: 110,500
Total cost is 172,900 but she already owns the rifle. That could reduce the conversion cost to 10400 from the 62,400 making the price tag only 120,900
the cost on this a variable as to which base laser Rifle I use. the upgrade costs is static, it is the base and conversion cost that would change.

Re: PW Out of Character
Mostly looks good.
For SWADE gear you need to use the Rifts or Science Fiction Companion equivalency if their is one. You can look, or I can later. If there is not I would apply the x10 cost to SciFi items and SWADE items maybe cost double for inflation as basic items.

Re: Expectations & Tables Rules
I think it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other as far as lightspeed travel as applies to the celestial dragons. My selfish hope would say to make it one skill or the other so I can focus skill points, but I'm probably splitting a hair that may never be combed in the first place. Still, it's nice to have all that hammered out before it ever does arise. So...I'm fine with whatever you decide.
Regarding travel by craft / FTL, that seems like Electronics would be primary (astrogation systems, etc.) but leaving it as the choice of higher between CK and Electronics is a nice bit of flexibility.
All that is to say, I'm fine with whatever.

Re: PW Out of Character
That is my intent, but I reworded it a little to make it easier to understand. (I hope, we have seen how this goes in the past)

Re: PW Out of Character
I have some final things to check with @Ndreare about Slrrxvinslrr, and I think I'm done.
I have a Magic Optic System I would like to be integrated with my TW Armor's helmet.
Speaking of the armor, I've used the Arzno TWA-1600 Exterminator EBA (TW) (Rifts A&M pp39) as a variant for the 3 Galaxies Knight of the White Rose by using a HJ roll to switch out body armor.
- I've added 2 seasoned powers for a total cost of 40,000
- Can I have the Speed power with the Quickness Modifier on this armor, since I'm picking the add-on?
Gardner of the White Rose Edge allows me to make a healing brew/poultice from the rose cuttings once a day.
- Is it possible to have a personal plant allows me to produce these brews (more rarely, full cuttings)? I've no problems with a limit to the number of brews I can have at any given time. -- Gardner of the White Rose is B&B pp29, and the White Rose Cuttings are on pp39.

Re: PW Out of Character
Yes, It would only be 500 credits to add to a normal suit of armor, so even a TW 10% mark up would only be 550.Slrrxvinslrr wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 8:50 am I have a Magic Optic System I would like to be integrated with my TW Armor's helmet.

By RAW this is not allowed. But I am inclined to allow it because there are so many other ways to access it. So go ahead and add it.
But as a note Speed is seasoned so it would be 40K for Speed and 20K for the modifier for a total mark up of 60K

Part of the idea behind this is the idea of having to return to the source. So we will say you may have either with you.

Re: PW Out of Character
Just making sure I understand the math:
- Adding the powers is Rank x 10,000 cr (A&M pp40)
- 20k for Barrier (Seasoned)
- 20k for Speed (Seasoned)
- 20k for Quickness Modifier (is it 10k per +1 PPE of the modifier?)
OR, are you saying it's 40k each for Barrier and Speed, plus 20k for the Quickness Modifier for a total of 100k?

Re: PW Out of Character
This was my mistake, normally adding powers is Rank x 20K and I did not realize there was a discount for Arzno stuff. Si I went ahead and read the armor in full.Slrrxvinslrr wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 12:23 pm Just making sure I understand the math:

So, reading it in full I see it is only 20K for the speed.
Also reading it, I see there are only two slots. But adding a Modifier would cost one of those two slots. So you would not be able to all three; Barrier, Speed, and the Quickness modifier. You would have to pick two.

Re: PW Out of Character
Awesome, I'll include that in my costs.
No complaints; I'll add the total cost here and tally the results for my cost. I'll have these already made as healing brews.
Total: 18,500 cr
Alright; I'll stick with Speed + Quickness and I'm going to assume that's 40k; 20k for Speed and 20k for Quickness.
Leaves me with 50,950 cr to finish spending. Thanks!
