Patron Item Requests
For the folks who are due a Patron item, check in here with ideas and requests and we'll try to crowd source a proposal I can take to the other GMs for approval.
Based on posts in recruitment, I know Severianna, Kim Black, and Jasco need items, and there are likely others I'm forgetting.

Patron item sounds nifty.
Jasco isn't much of a fighter, so I thought to lean toward his strengths (information gathering, computer stuff).
Was thinking along the lines of either some hacking computer with advanced knowledge database. Or perhaps a computer, drone control gauntlet, HUD combination.

Ooooo. What if you had a baby AI framework hidden in the trunk of your car? Constrained by limited server power, so fairly primitive, but able to run database queries and other analyses and help out with hacking when interfacing with you through a Pip-Boy style gauntlet and/or HUD goggles? I'll take a look in the Sci-Fi Companion to see if there's anything appropriate there, but I'm thinking something like a Grade IV Field Computer that also gives bonuses similar to the Core Electronics Package and Signal Booster cybernetic upgrades, and can accept skill chips like a Subject Matter Expert Port. Could even let you drive the car remotely.Jasco wrote:Patron item sounds nifty.

Forget the rail-gun mounted in the cupola. That space is needed for the signal-boosting comms suite so that Jasco and his baby AI can talk!

Re: Patron Item Requests
Haha. May not want to let the baby AI near the rail-gun anyway ...

Re: Patron Item Requests
So the only thing I can think about regarding a combat item would be to compliment Severianna's Vambrance Trademark weapon item.
I was thinking some sort of prototype bracelet/vambraces but also something sword related that can extend so that she can use the Longsword/Sabre like weapon and damage type.
I keep thinking something like Illidan from World of Warcraft, or the Illidari from the most recent version of WoW.
I'm drawing a blank for a non combat item.
Although now that you mentioned the idea of a Cybernetic tech item, I like that idea. I don't want to go full combat borg or anything. But I figure that getting 5-6 strain in cybernetics can work well for this character.

Ooo. I love Illidan! Maybe my favorite character from WoW.

Re: Patron Item Requests
For a cybernetic item for Severianna, I was thinking of something like an experimental nanite-augmentation system
Base item = Nano-Repair System
Additional function being that it can temporarily boost any of your five Traits by 2 die types, as the nanites stimulate reflexes/muscles/cognitive function, etc. It effectively works like the boost trait power. Rather than costing PPE, boosting a trait causes the repair system to shut down for an hour as the nanites are replenished. Boosting multiple traits or extending a boost past 3 rounds would extend the shut-down time (by an hour each additional trait) and force a Vigor check to avoid gaining a level of fatigue when the boost is done. Might also allow another type of boost that functions as quickness, but that might be pushing it too far, as most Patron items seem to fall in the 150-250k credit range.
EDIT: But some sort of modified set of vambraces that emit energy blades would be easy to do, as well. Perhaps some sort of alien tech Lone Star acquired and has been working to weaponize. I'll have to read back through that book to look for specific ideas. But modified weapons are generally pretty easy to design and get approval for.

How about something simple...

No arguments on either idea. I'll think them over.
Yes, Illidan is the best.
