  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

How about as you are not a powered character and cannot use TW items.
We make it a very high quality pistol with excellent furniture, some nice accessories and a bag with some exchangeable accessories such as alternate barrel and a couple of scopes.

Do you want physical rounds or energy clips, also do you want revolver style or magazine style?

For actually making the firearm mechanically, another option would be it could be an ancient weapon that has been "enchanted" by the psychic imprint of hundreds of years of being used in war and killing.


The enchanted items rules allows 2 major and 2 minor, but they have the benefit of it can be used by your character.

So let me know once you have an idea in mind.

How will mundane (i.e., non-magical) upgrades be handled in-game? I know every GM has his or her own preferences on this, so I thought it worth asking before we get going. For instance, if my character wanted to improve his non-TW rifle (say, by replacing the barrel with one of a higher quality, or something of the like) to get a bonus to his Shooting, how would that work? I know that a lot of potential upgrades are covered by the Hero's Journey tables, and that you can always take the Rich Edge to get a couple of rolls on those tables. If I wanted to boost his gear without spending an Advance, how would we do that mechanically? Would you just set prices for the upgrades and we could buy them just like we would buy anything else (assuming they are available in whatever part of the country the team happens to be in, of course)?

Modifying a TW weapon by anyone other than a TW will destroy it. Quite simply there is some crazy magic going on that makes no sense what so ever.


I will have to run it my the other GM's first. But what I am thinking is for mundane or high quality modifications I can see those following a little common sense an adding the equivalent of up to two minor modifications. With the caveat that just like in real life the more tuned a weapon is the more sensitive it becomes to damage, jarring and the battle field, each modification would then be -1 to maintenance rolls and +1 to TD rolls to represent that mechanically.

I had left the identity of the Cyberknight in my background up to you RFT. So who are they and do they have any relationship with the CKs in our band?

I need to figure this out for the interlude I think.

If he is willing to work with you I think it would be really cool if you and Sir William came up with a name for his Mentor.

If the two of you could thread your interludes together in a way that shows each of your own perspective to the events I will award an additional bennie for the awesomeness of it.

I am game for that! That is ,if Sir Willy is okay with having the 500 kg equivalent of annoying little cousin? He can just come up with his mentor and give me details.

I did figure out how to do my opening dramatic interlude without much detail of the Mentor CK.
That way I am not writing history for any character other than my own.

  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Just want to confirm that I have my character build correct for Telekinetic Pistolero, given the following: http://savagerifts.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1012

Does this mean that I need Two-Fisted to make it work? Or that I don't need the Edge at all, but should take Two-Fisted instead (and Two-Fisted will work with the telekinesis power because I'm a Psi-Slinger)? I'm happy to do either (frankly, the latter sounds even cooler than my proposal), but just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

For clarification, if I had a pistol in each hand and another gun held by telekinesis, and if I had the Ambidextrous Edge, Two-Fisted would allow me to fire all three without a multi-action penalty, correct?

Edit: I posted the above in the middle of the night while I was up with a grumpy toddler, so I plead half-awake. I'm not sure why I throught this made so much sense when I posted it, but now that I'm a rational, thinking human being, I assume Two-Fisted will just take care of 2 points of multi-action penalty (not 4, which would have been the scenario above).

For this unit we will need a command structure (I know the horrors!). The following is what I propose based on your backstories and your character experience. (The term seasoned is a reference to your backstory not the characters Game Mechanic rank.)

My Assumptions Based on Page 83 of Savage Rifts Game Masters Handbook
  • Sergeant - Michael Powell (seasoned vet with 8 years in the field)
    Corporal - Lawrence Charles (seasoned commando)
    Corporal - Baron McVey (seasoned veteran and survivor)
    Specialist 1st - Erin Sol (while experienced in life, she is new to the Legion)
    Specialist 1st - Hardin - (seasoned, but with psych concerns that prevent from being given leadership)
    Specialist 1st - Sephia (seasoned with some field experience)
    Specialist 2nd - Sir William Mahan (Newly minted)
    Specialist 2nd - Nomed Dercas (this is literally your first mission, you have finished your training and are ready for the field)
    Specialist 2nd - Billy Borg (moral concerns being raised in the Castle about Billy being on missions)
I need you guys to look and tell me if you agree or disagree.

You where sent with a sergeant, but he is destined to be KIA in the opening scene so we will need to know which Corporal is senior so he can take over.

A couple of good Interludes up already.

Once you interludes are complete you may chose to either take a bennie (putting you at 4) or you may take the adventure card corresponding to your roll.
While you may only use one Adventure card per session, you can keep an unused one for the next session and keep the best two.

  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

While it is not a site requirement, I would like to ask if we could please put all dice rolls in ooc tags like the following.

Code: Select all

You will notice if you look at most of the post you can't see the rolls a character makes unless you click a button.

But on some post you see a wall of un-parsed dice rolls.

I prefer the dice rolls hidden, it is not a requirement, but it is aesthetically superior when catching up on reading.

After all dice rolls are out of character, so an ooc tag is appropriate.

RFT, I'm going to request I be allowed to edit my "a little odd" quirk from won't kill rank and file CS to won't kill rank and file or civilians of anything. Obviously it doesn't apply to demons, but CS soldiers, thieves, bandits who back down, etc. One thing I realized is L.C. is mostly just tired of killing. He'll do it without hesitation, but he doesn't want to indulge that. He just wants to do his job, save people, bring back his people, without submitting to the mindless killing machine the CS trained him to be and his every instinct says he should be. It kind of crystallized when I was writing this response to the D-Goblin. I almost ordered the entire group into battle readiness and dropped his invisibility. I could have easily done it. But instead I decided on persuasion - something he's not good at when words are involved.

Anyway, I doubt you'll have any issue, but I wanted to clear it first.

Sure, no problem.

Normally after playing a character for a while the idea of the character becomes more solid and little tweaks get needed.

Damage compensation: By sharing or enhancing a Techno-Wizard's connection to machinery the target subconsciously compensates for penalties inflicted by using damaged equipment.

For +1PPE the target can ignore 2 points of penalties to the affected skill from damaged equipment. As a replacement for the normal effects of a raise the amount of penalty ignored increases to 4 points.

I approve it for this application, so that you can post. I also placed it in custom to see if others think it would be useful in their games.

Normally I would say only ignore -1 and -2 respectively, but by adding the 1 PPE cost to use I think it balances okay.

I believe that is the current plan. Erin already posted a roll in Mac's to help Baron's Persuasion.

Let's hope he buys into it, because a good roll from him can meet a lot of cash needed for upgrades.


PS: As a reminder you have enough materials and cash for four projects on the APC. You the players will have to list them.
I know Billy wants remote control.

This is my suggestion based on us using it primarily as a mode of transportation. If some of these need to be broken up let me know.
  1. Reactor leak / Environmental Systems
  2. Mod for Billy’s control / handling
  3. Sensor Suite
  4. Medium Laser turret or Small Laser side turrets
What does everyone else think?

I asked one of the players to roll for this, but he never did. So...
On an 8 a heavy laser survived, if it explodes to a 16 then a dual mount will survive, and so on, for every 8 explosion an additional heavy laser made it.

OK, no laser, it looks like. Maybe we can put an ion cannon on there? The range is crummy by comparison, but it does aoe damage (which is a good replacement for the missile launcher if we end up selling that) and gives a +2 to shooting because ion cannons are basically giant, energy shotguns. And they cost way less.

The apc also has 2 mini railguns up front. Billy has "Rock and Roll" which adds to their effectiveness.
I would recommend fixing those over the lasers just because of the autofire. The drawback is that they are forward facing.

I think those are still functional but are only a little low on ammo.

If anyone has scrounger, I think that can be used to get reloads.

If you have the EP, stick Sephia in cold storage. I think she's an awesome character.

Also, it's the holidays and those are going to be slow (there's a site rule of relaxing posting requirements until Jan 2). You might stick it out until after. Just give it thought

Yeah, I've had a think about it and I'm just going to spend the EP to put Sephia on ice until I feel more able to participate. Thanks for having me folks, hopefully I'll be back at a later date.

Excellent story Sir William.

Please take both the benny and the adventure card as a reward for so quickly posting.

    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Great Patrick

Please take a benny and an adventure card.

PS: Please cancel the EP request and spent extra effort benny for the second Persuasion in the scene. It was already determined by the previous rolls.

Finishing the detail of cleaning up and organizing the equipment salvaged from the Crazy 8’s the 99’s find they have done pretty well. While most of the equipment is used and shows its wear, the gear is still in good enough condition it can be salvaged or sold.
Spoils 85,000 each plus special notes
With selling, trade, turning over to the legion, and after cleaning up the gear you will have [dice]0[/dice] credits each from spoils. In addition you all have your Patreon Patron gear for those of you who chose to support the site in that way.

The Bandito APC has a high market value. You can sell it to the Legion (who can use it for another COT) or you sell it in the Market and the Legion will take its share from that.

PS: I would allow you guys to sell the Bandito APC to Mac in exchange for fixing up the Mark V like new, with a brand new rail gun installed on top.

Response to GM About Rail Gun
When you say “brand new rail gun”, do you happen to mean a large rail gun? Because I would vote that (while also worrying about what baddies the GM is going to throw at us that would require a large rail gun to fight...)
Update, I Forgot About the Roof Mount
I had forgotten about the roof mount/entry point for LC’s power armor. Having the rail gun would probably muck that up.

Returning it to spec would remove the roof access to replace it with the rail gun.

More On the Roof Mount
With 3 PA pilots in the group, the roof mount is a cool feature. I guess keeping it will depend on the makeup of the party post-Wheaton (i.e., are Brison and LC still going to be with us?).
Update: Okay, the OOC tags are getting old, even if it is technically an in character thread. If we want to keep the roof access/mount for power armor, I say we sell the spare APC and increase our loot. If the PA pilots (LC and Rob Hunter) don’t want to keep the roof access, I say we trade the spare APC to fully repair our Mark V and add the giant rail gun.

As regards the shadow cloak: does anyone else want it? Per RFT, if you choose to take it, reduce your haul by 45,000 credits. Hardin will happily take that deal, but the cloak might be more useful in someone else’s hands. Sir William? What say you?

No OOC tag, but I will move all of these OOC comments to the OOC thread before end of Quarter.

Bandito APC
This touch and ruggid APC was designed to take a beating and keep on rolling while fleeing from heavily armed military units. An off Market APC with a lot of customization the original manufacturer looks to have been Triax in Germany, but some of the parts are obviously from the Americas.
Value: 12 million credits.

Bandito APC
Size: 9 (15' wide, 45' long, 17' tall (two decks), [/b]Acc/TS 5/15 (1/10 in water), Toughness: 35 (15), Crew 2+44
Notes: All-Terrain, Environmental Systems, M.D.C. Armor, Sensor Suite, Comfortable rooms for 6, Bunkers for 30. Remaining mods 2
Weapons:
  • Port Dual Linked Medium Lasers (180 degree turret)
  • Starboard Dual Linked Medium Lasers (180 degree turret)
  • Top Mounted Dual Linked Light Rail Guns (360 degree turret)
The floor plan can be modified to whatever the players would like within the dimensions of a size.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

For reference the trade/market value is used with persuasion and the following guidelines.
http://savagerifts.com/sr/viewtopic.php ... 477#p37477
Freemage wrote:Selling to Legion (assuming it's something the Legion has use for): 10% of market value. This is a standard finder's fee with the Legion, and should be granted for any gear that arrives in good condition.
Finding your own buyer. Roll Streetwise (remembering to add Charisma). Note that once you roll, you're stuck with the final result--you can't decide to go back to the Legion for the 10% price:
  • Critical Failure: You get swindled, robbed or possibly run afoul of competitors (read: Black Market)
  • Failure: You cannot sell the item this session/Quarter on the open market
  • Success: 5% of list price
  • Every Raise: +5% of list price; maximum of 25% of list price
Common Modifiers:
  • Connections Edge: If the Edge is with an appropriate faction (note that the Black Market is almost always appropriate), gain +4 to the Streetwise roll.
  • I Know A Guy Edge: You get +4 to the roll, and the sale price cap rises to 50% of list.
  • Market variance: If demand for the gear is higher than average in comparison to supply, then a +2 bonus is appropriate; if the item is one that has a very limited potential market, or which has already been glutted, -2
The process of finding can be done once per week (or reasonable fraction thereof) of downtime. A character may attempt to sell similar items (say, a batch of weapons, or armor, or even identical vehicles) at once, but there's a flat -2 to the roll for batch sales.

If no persuasion roll is made by Tuesday Morning at 6 AM PST in interest of keeping the game from dying on the vine I am ruling that Mac offers either:
  1. 1.0 million for the Mark V
    or
  2. 1.2 million for the Bandito APC (Most of which would be needed to fix up the mark V).
The declared intent of the group I believe is to sell the Mark V, which is what I will assume happens.

The opportunity will be off the table as players need to have time to assess their spending options. The attack will happen Friday night or Saturday morning regardless, as inactivity risks loss of interest.

Due to the use of a Golden Benny I am treating this as maximum result.

I will add to Mac's description he is friendly to the 99 and you will receive +2 Charisma in future interactions.
In addition you will be able to sell the vehicles for the following values:
  1. 3.0 million for the Mark V (a full 30% of fair market value in trade or credits)
    or
  2. 3.6 million for the Bandito APC (Most of which would be needed to fix up the mark V) (a full 30% of fair market value in trade or credits)
I will work out with Mike how to keep his new character in line with the reward options received by the rest of the group as his share will be sent to refuge for his heirs.


So by my simple math looks like including the 85,000 each from earlier you will have $513,571 each

  2. 3.6 million for the Bandito APC (Most of which would be needed to fix up the mark V) (a full 30% of fair market value in trade or credits)
I will work out with Mike how to keep his new character in line with the reward options received by the rest of the group as his share will be sent to refuge for his heirs.


So by my simple math looks like including the 85,000 each from earlier you will have $513,571 each
Per the Hangout, the cost of the special mods LC would like to add to the Bandito APC for the power armor docking and airlock on the roof will cost 100,000 credits. Does anyone have any objection to taking that 100,000 from the group pot before we split it up?

And, yep, we are selling the Mark V and keeping the Bandito APC.

To make all the math that much easier on me I will say after dividing everything this works out to an even $500,000 each after installing the special Power Armor hatch, that allows exiting or firing from half cover and the power armor grip rails.

This will use both of your remaining mods.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

I think it would be wise to agree ahead of time in out of character if you are going for the adventure in Hell so everyone is on the same page. While splitting the party is possible, it is not ideal because it creates more work for your GM.

@Foxx,
I would like to subtly say if there was ever a roll worth spending EP or bennies on for extra effort this is the roll. Your benchmarks of 18 and 25 children respectively will render amazing and deserved rewards.

No,
If you leave, the reason getting locked in is possible is because it was help open by the demons connection to the summoner. With the demon dead, it the gate is failing.


You can get the children out and to safety, but turning back to look for more risk you being trapped also.

Hey guys,
So it looks lik even with a couple weeks of time we have no plan of action mentioned. For me to frame the scene and a response I need to know what your plans on with the scene and if you are taking opportunity. I know we want to be respectful and wait for others, but after so long in the same scene we need to let those of you active keep going.

So with the plan begin what it is Julian will open a rift. The Rift because of the interference will be opaque.

I need to know what order you will go through and if you take any precautions. Will you be racing through one after the other, or will there be some timing?

I am not promising there is an ambush, but if their was these details would really mater to me.

By the Way my Vacation was extended another week. But this next week will be more relaxed so I still plan on posting next week, even if my hangout time is limited.

Sal will use his shadow cloak and go mega invisible then pop through at the earliest oppertunity. If anyone else wants to be invisible he will craft a d-feild phase generator and invisible any and all. Probably the exception would be the glitterboy.

I would be fine if the glitterboy went in first immodestly followed by everyone else (invisible)

I like your thinking that going through with greater invisibility would help allow information gathering first rather than waiting for baddies to show up.


I also like your thinking. The Mind Melter and The Glitter Boy are the two toughest party members so getting them through would give a high chance of surviving an attack.

Yeah, Maggie's good to go first. Not an issue there, and (frankly) what a Glitter Boy Pilot is supposed to do.

I wouldn't mind having someone else go through with her, though, either the mercs, the disavowed CKs, or Sir William, just in case. GBs are tough, but some mobile infantry support would be nice in the event of an ambush. Maggie can lock down most of the incoming fire, but she can't necessarily hit 'em all back (especially if they get behind her).

From there, we secure the town. We can try to pass our merc buddies off as new companies looking for freelance work and go from there. Maggie should be able to get into the Castle sneakily if needed while her AI pilots the GB (so the team isn't deprived of its armor support). We'll need someone with more arcane smarts than she has to pinpoint exactly what's going on, but if black ops work needs doing (i.e., if some artifact needs stolen or some lonely, possessed mage needs a brain bullet to keep him company), she's certainly capable of doing it.

Fritz would most likely need the cover of Greater Invisibility. Stealthy he is not. Although for information gathering he maybe one of the better firsts to go through.

The Rifts would allow 1 size 1 through 3 through at a time, or 2 people size -1 through 0 through.


So you guys will need to settle on tank first or stealth first.

Okay, so stealth folks first (which I assume is
most of the team), followed by Maggie, followed by some support troops. LC in his armor and our APC would probably take the rear.

Would that work?

I am good with that. If we can get the various groups going through to take different sides of the portal coming through, that would help as well.

Stealthed units would move maybe two hundred yards directly forward of the portal. Maggie would come out and take to her immediate left and fifty yards from the portal. The APC would be to the right fifty yards and LC would command from the center maybe twenty five yards forward of the portal.

Should be plenty of room and no one would need to worry about being trampled or getting caught by the closing portal.

Okay,
Let me see if I have the current plan clear.

1) Sal and Fritz go through while under invisibility superior and look for threats. They have about a round to find a good position and be aware.
2) Then Maggie and L.C. will come through falling Left and Right respectively.
3) Then the rest of the team and members coming through, ready for action in case their is a hostile on the other side.


The only foreseen complication is you know from previous experience that no signal will make it back through. This will allow a higher survivability rate if there is an ambush on the other side.

Re: Out of Character Chat

With the change to Ley Line manipulation now being done via Meditation and Rituals, I have a few other questions.

When it comes to expending materials for a ritual, could we get a rough guideline of what you'd expect a ritual to cost? The TLPG doesn't do a particularly good job of explaining this IMO. The example sited suggests collecting task tokens, which I believe implies successful rolls, but really I'm not 100% clear on that. Aside from that, I understand the potential for penalties in increasing powers.

Will activating powers via devices apply the same base effects that traditional powers get? Additionally, do they also benefit from Meditation and Rituals?

Material costs will be based on Rank.
  1. Novice Rank Power/Effect = 10,000
  2. Seasoned Rank Power/Effect = 20,000
  3. Veteran Rank Power/Effect = 30,000
  4. Heroic Rank Power/Effect = 40,000
  5. Legendary Rank Power/Effect = 50,000
You can translate some or all your credits into "components for rituals" and that is good enough. I do not plan on having whole side adventures for special rituals and would only do this for something especially awesome.

A ritual is a Dramatic task with only one player contributing. So yes the rules for Dramatic Tasks and tokens would be used. See SWADE page 122

Devices will not take advantage of Rituals at all (no modifiers are allowed for powers in devices).
Special Exception: There may be some devices that only work for specific rituals. For example in nightbane the players have access to a Book that allows a ritual to create a pocket dimension in between the Astral and Physical world.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Looks like we need to secure the immediate area, scout, and repair.

I would recommend we tackle securing the immediate area, scouting, and further repairs as a dramatic task with random difficulties.

I don't have much in the way of stealthy activities that involve NOT being seen, aside from shape change, but I'd rather save that PPE for other scenarios. Not much good in the way of mechanical repairs either.

I can definitely help secure the area though.

Maggie can scout (she's a Psi-Ghost after all).

Steven will stay behind and pilot the Glitter Boy in her absence and can likely help secure the area. Hawke's Rangers (the soldiers) can help.

On the SWADE rebuild.

Was going to build Fritz as a Combat Medic w/ Secret Hindrance of being an infiltration specialist. Covert Ops and the like. Sometimes he is even given the assignments to use his medical knowledge to remove enemies.

Thoughts?

Is that his active role? A secret assassin for the tomorrow legion? Or is that what he used to be before joining up?

More like what he was before joining up with the 99th. Something that could potentially be exploited later.

He uses the combat medic as his legitamate role.

I think secret is a good Hindrance for that kind of thing. It would be fun to have Rob mention causually every town we go to someone ends up dying of natural benign causes.

Heck, I think through my own OCC ludes, I laid the framework for Sal to be a sleeper agent for CS lonestar.

Fritz was actually hired to get Sal out but staged things in such a way that he looked like he needed to get out as well.

Is this an additional aspect of his background or something to replace Pacifist? (I always struggled in my own head with full pacifist as an edge for adventurers, but I know it can work.)

PS: I am not open to actual being a secret CS sympathizer in this particular game. The creation guidelines are pretty specific of hero's heroes. So no secret Nazis in this game. You will be putting your lives on the line for the right reasons after all.

What about CS sleepers? It may never come up, but say the captain Wolfe or his agents from Lone Star whisper “Munster fermenté, Menschterkas”... Sal becomes pliable to their questions. But otherwise he is totally a heroes hero. Sent by the CS to ingratiate himself into the TL.
