LFG: Play by post

Dregs eat shoes !

Hey Gaunt, how do you want to handle spending xp, can we spend it as soon as received or during 'down time'?

Also, should I assume Asterius has finished disarming the trap and moved either up or down the ladder, allowing Cade passage down?

Hey guys. Still here. Still interested. Covered in Weasles is still helping me get character creation worked out.

If anyone else can help me out via email at least once a day, I might get done faster. We have exchanged emails but it is realllllyyyy slow going at this point. My biggest problem right now is I dont have any access to changes that DH2 may or may not have made to the character creation process - nor do I have the Chirurgeon template to build off of.

Shooting in the dark here.

If you wanna join - now would be a good moment. Would be great if someone could assist him before the weekend is over.

You are welcome to PM me and I will answer the question if I can. You should be able to loop other people into PMs if you already have one going with Weasles.

I would love to join immediately. But, like I said, I have NO IDEA how to go about character creation.

LOL, what would you have me do?

Other option is, you tell your main characteristics of focus and I create an Adeptus mechanicus Chirurgeon for you.

I would need the following:

- what home world do you want ?

- what are the 3 characteristics you want to focus on

- what are the 3 characteristics you want to have the lowest

- what kind of skills/talents/characteristics do you want to spend your start experience on ?

Hey Gaunt. There a few questions from me and Col above you may have missed...

What is Asterius doing; can Cade get down?

When can we spend xp, immediately on receipt or during 'down time' and are there any restrictions?

Sorry if I missed them :(

Asterius just finished the disarming of the explosive, so he and Cade can come down.

You may spend XP right away - indeed you may only spend it whenever you get XP (you might save it now, but then only spend it if you get XP the next time).

If you spend it, please update your character sheet in the other thread.

No need to apologize :)

I spend 200xp on dominate.

I made a draft in the character thread. Have a look if this would be ok with you.

It does not yet have the starting experience spent.

It looks like a really good start.

I dont know how aptitudes work or what IF is.

I also have no clue how to spend my XP. If you could email me the chirurgeon advances that would be great.

Spending 200xp on the Parry skill (very sorry Gaunt. I think Cade should probably be pushing up the daisies, as he probably should have missed at least one of his parries during that combat. Only just realized that Parry's a skill in DH2 and not something you can just "do" as it was in DH1. My bad. Hopefully my last rule mixup but that's doubtful). Grabbing that now so that I don't screw up like that in the future.

IF = Influence. This is a new characteristic that replaces both money and is an indicator for your contact network.

Aptitdues replace the old rank trees. You may now take every skill or talent you like - but depending on your aptitudes it gets cheaper or more expensive.

Every characteristic, skill and talent has 2 aptitudes. If you share 2, its rather cheap, if you share 1 its medium expensive, if you share none it is really expensive.

For you, I'd suggest:

- medicae skill [100 XP]

- Intelligence +5 [100 XP]

- Scholastic Lore (Chymistry) [100 XP]

- Sound Constitution [100 XP]

- Perception +5 [250 XP]

- Intelligence +5 [250 XP]

Agreed ?

Yeah, sure. That sounds great.

And starting gear?

ALready in the proposal included.

But you may chose in addition up to 4 items which may have a max. availability of Scarce (not rarer than scarce).

So, since there is no money - only IF, I am guessing then that getting starting gear is based on IF bonus.

What about ammo? You listed a hand cannon.

Ill send you an email tonight with everything hashed out.

You get IF-Bonus starting gear. But each item may be Scarce at max

You get 2 clips of ammo for the handcannon.

I assume those two clips are in addition to the 1 that comes standard loaded into the weapon.

I am finishing up my character sheet right now, and about to send it to you.

What armor could I take? I was thinking she is a combat medic - or will be soon enough.

Is a light flak coat available or no?

Edit: Email sent! I think I am ready to get into this game.

The Light Flak Cloak is Scarce, so it would be ok.

I realize I have been posting my OOC questions IN the IC thread, which seems redundant. Apologies.

My question remains: will Seito be able to have situational modifiers to her medicae checks as the group is not currently under fire/in combat time, but in fact in narrative time and thus she would have ample time to promptly check to and administer to the group's wounds?

I have the "RPG Roller" app on my phone and rolled for the medicae check - Natural 1. *listens to the heavens open up and sing my name* Now, I am not sure how we are handling rolling so I just decided to take the initiative and do it. I am happy to re-roll on a dedicated website or wherever the rest of you have been.

Now, assuming that you do take my roll of 1, I have an INT bonus of 4. Does that mean that Cade has 4 HPs restored? Can I increase the number of damage I can heal in any way?

Edited by pearldrum1

You can roll by yourself, thats fine. IIRC you heal Int Bonus + DoS.

You get no modifiers for the surroundings (its neither good nor bad), but a -20 for the 2 points of critical wounds that Cade suffers (-10 per crit wound) and +30 for med mech and medkit That means you healed 4 +6 DoS = 10 Wounds and Cade gets back on 8 wounds. This set of wounds now cannot be first aided again, and, Cade cannot be first aided within the next 24h again.

Hell yeah. I just first-aided the **** out of Cade.
