By the way, a bit of a heads up...
In all probability in the coming days I am going to be the adequately proud owner of my very own tiny little human of the female variety. Thus, the little creature is probably going to upset my free time somewhat, but what can one do, right? Thus, posting may be affected for a few days, but I will do my best to not let such trivialities hinder me too much. After all, priorities, right?
;-P

Congrats on your soon to be very new lvl 1 character! I hope all goes well and she gets good rolls on her stats!
In all seriousness, thanks for the heads up! If you need to step away for a length of time due to new parenthood, It's completely understandable and will make sure your spot is held :)

Hey guys! Just posting to let you know, I'm without electricity for the next couple of days, so I won't be able to post. I'll try and get something up at least before the big holidays, but I might also be a bit scarce then.

Boiler plate message.
Due to the statistical certainty that at least one person in any of my games is celebrating some kind of Christmas thing... Merry Christmas.
I will be taking part in the long standing Jewish tradition of Chinese food and a bad horror film if anybody needs a suggestion on what to do. This years bad horror film, "Killer Clowns From Outer Space". A classic.

Happy Holidays everyone!
There is a rumor that Space Santa has been spotted near the Exodus!
A red space ship pulled by mythical 'Space Deer' and that his ship was laden with gifts!
After waking you find a specially wrapped and designated gift at the foot of your bunk. The garish red and green only led to the urge to rip the gift open.
Tujonvrek finds himself with new Ember Flame Doshko! When he activates it, its flames are a red and green flare. A little tag says that once a day, he can grant himself a second chance to swing his mighty weapon at his foes! (1/day Re-roll any attack roll)
Molly Bakir finds herself with a some specialized goggles (think of the pirate queen from force awakens) that when she puts them on when piloting grant her a insight into her piloting! Little overlays suddenly appear calculating new possible flight routes! (When piloting, you gain a circumstance bonus of +1 to pilot checks in hostile environments)
Bishop finds himself with a little necklace trinket that when focused upon it, is able to store a single charge of any spell you have knowledge of. Allowing you dispense when in need! (When you rest, you may store a spell in the necklace, this does not consume a spell slot. As a swift action you may release the spell.)
Jacob found a new token that can be attached to his lapel. When he clicks it on, he feels himself be much more savvy. (His online vid presence is beginning to spread, at least upon the Exodus. When interacting with others he gains a circumstantial diplomacy bonus of +1)
Reskk, even for all of his technical know how, finds himself unwrapping a gift with a new personal computer, that was customized just for his ysoki biology. He finds that he can work much faster with this new device then his previous one! (Reskk gains a circumstancial +1 bonus to his Computer checks when interacting with foreign technology or hacking.)
Caleb, despite his questioning, opens his own garish gift. And within it was a box that contained a curiously festive Thunderstrike Pulse Gauntlet. It has a mysterious quality to it that feels like it was fated. (When attacking with this weapon, you have a 15% chance of it ignoring missed rolls and hitting anyways.)
I hope you all enjoy your gifts! Even though not everyone celebrates Christmas, I enjoy giving gifts to my players in the spirit of the holiday!

Speaking of ship refit, I'm going to take a quick look. Can we get the link to the ship added to the info so I don't have to go searching the posts for it please?
Edit: Doubled the shields and added mark 6 defenses for good measure. Next tier I'm thinking of shaving some off the defenses and adding a launcher to each of the side arcs.
Reskk |
Minor spoiler here based on Resk's personal knowledge and background... I think the GM gave me this info to help advance plot so I'm trying to have Resk drop it but maybe I'm being too round about with it...
Reskk |
+7 HP | New = 14 HP
+5 Stamina | New = 10 Stamina
+0 Resolve
+0 Reflex
+0 Fort
+1 Will Save | New = +3 Will
+1 BAB | New = +1 BAB
+8 Skills | Ranks bought in: Computers, Engineering, Life Science, Mysticism, Physical Science, Piloting, Profession (Archaeologist), Slight of Hand
New Spells
1st Level: Token Spell (aka Prestidigitation)
2nd Level: Supercharge Weapon
Class Skill: Magic Hack
As a standard action, you can get a general sense of what information is stored on drives or other digital storage media. You must pass your hand in the air near the data source, but don’t have to touch it or connect to it. The information you get is very general, such as “financial records,” “military records,” or “spells.” Getting detailed information requires interfacing with the data more directly. If you attempt a quick scan on a creature that stores its memories in a digital medium—to get a sense of the memories stored in a robot, for example—the target can attempt a Will save to negate the scan and prevent you from trying against it again for 24 hours.

I considered seeing to the retrofit, but I forgot Tujon saw to that. I think that getting TL6 for a ship with our speed might be a bit much for the moment, though, since with Reskk's help I can get it to 15 speed, and that outruns all but the fastest missiles. Thoughts?
Reskk |
I'm pretty flexible as I haven't really had time to crunch numbers on starship combat. That said, based on what I've played so far, I think the speed boost is definitely the engineer's "go to" ability for the first few levels, but eventually I'm definitely going to need to start doing more with diverting to shields. But for now... focusing on speed should be fine, particularly to the extent it helps us keep our guns in the proper arc.
Tujonvrek |
Sign of good role play when the other side can't separate the characters emotion from what they believe the player must be feeling. I will take the worry as a supreme compliment.
Edit:Or if you thought I might think you hate me, nah you all good sir.
Molly Bakir |
Great job being the space lizard ass cloaca, sir.
Speaking of Equipment.
Molly would like to take a set of Second Skin with the Radiation Dampener update (not sure if that was the name), and a Laser Pistol.
Reskk |
LOL. I had a PF summoner who only cared for her eidolon (looked like a sea serpent). GM started throwing in a ton of cloaca jokes
Anyway, my reading of Vinsonner’s last post is that we’re still working with loot and treasure, but now that we’re level 2, anything that has an item level/tier of 1 is free. Is that right?
Tujonvrek |
I bring the cloaca.
Also, picking up an azimuth laser pistol, azimuth laser rifle, 3 smoke grenades, 3 sticky bomb grenades, and 3 frag grenades.
With my armor and my doshko that places me at my 6 bulk limit before hitting encumbered.
F. Castor |
Huh...
While checking equipment and items that might be of use, I realized that Caleb cannot actually use the thunderstrike pulse gauntlet (his Christmas gift) effectively, as he is not proficient with advanced melee weapons.
Other than that, let me check what tier-1 stuff he will be requisitioning and I will get back to you. They will probably include a few augmentations so as to start portraying Caleb's adaptive self-upgrading nanotech.
Vinsomner |
My condolences Tujon, take all the time you need!
To everyone else,
I'll be time skipping ahead with rolls of possibly travel dangers. Please let me know if there is anything significant your character will be doing during the time skip so I can take account of it.
I'll be posting later today with the time skip to give everyone time to reply!
Reskk |
Hmm. Unless the rest of the crew is interested in following up on what Resk found, he's just going to keep a low profile. But... he'll try again. I think I'm being too obfuscatory with my IC actions.
Molly Bakir |
My condolences as well, Tujon.
I don't think Molly will be doing anything significant, mostly going around the ship and snooping around in a more personal way than Reskk.
I think the crew might be very interested in what you found. One of them, at least.
