Yes all Skills/Talents/equipment stats and stuff are being used from DH2. If you look at the campaign info tab i have most of the info in spreadsheets or docs for easy reference if you don't have the books handy.

Scarab Sages

Very much a work in progress...

WS = 28
BS = 37
Str = 35
Toughness = 31
Agility = 31
Intelligence (39+5-3) = 41
Perception (31-6) = 25
Willpower = 37
Fellowship = 32
Fate: 3
Wounds: 12
Divination: 31 - Thought begets Heresy.
Reduce this character's Intelligence characteristic by 3. The first time he would gain 1 or more Corruption points each session, he reduces that amount by 1 (to a minimum of 0) instead.

Off-Worlder - Gain +3 in two stats and the Inquiry skill

2) Heretek: Gain Mechanicus Implants with 1 mechadendrite and the Knowledge aptitude
-1) Weak Eyes: -6 perception

Core attribute: Intelligence
Primary attribute:
Secondary:
Tertiary:
Aptitudes: Knowledge,
Skills: Inquiry (bonus)
1000xp
Gear:
Common quality clothing, a sling bag, a bedroll, ten packets of recyk wafers, Two one liter water bottles, 100 guild creds

I can't seem to find were related aptitudes are related. It says that a primary and core aptitude also grants it's "related aptitude", but I don't see where that relationship is spelled out.


DH2 page 80.

WS - Offence
BS - Finesse
Str - Offence
Tou - Defense
Agi - Finesse
Int - Knowledge
Per - Fieldcraft
Wil - Psyker
Fel - Social

Scarab Sages

So if my core attribute was Int, I would gain the knowledge aptitude (which I already have due to being a heretek)? Do they double up?

Scarab Sages

So I get the base aptitude, I'm confused on "related aptitude". What exactly does that mean?

Scarab Sages

Got it. They are using the same word to describe to different things.
So, I choose Intelligence as my core. I gain Knowledge and Intelligence Aptitudes. Man, the terms in this system can really confuse sometimes.


Yes so, since you gain knowledge aptitude 2x you can pick another non attribute aptitude instead.


This is Choon. If you don't mind I'll be re-using an old alias for this one. Please let me know if I've done anything wrong here. This is only my third character in the system.

Utility Mechadendrite - The most common type of mechadendrite, these are tipped with a variety of mechanisms for the repair and succour of blessed technologies. It counts as a combi-tool, granting a +10 bonus to
all Tech-Use tests. The limb also houses six injector pistons, each of which may be filled with one dose of a sacred unguent. In addition to this, the limb contains an electrically-powered censer, which can gust incense fumes over troublesome faults. Unless the censer is deactivated, all Perception tests made to detect the Tech- Priest that rely on a sense of smell gain a +10 bonus. As a Half Action, the censer can create one “blast” of smoke every fifteen minutes, which imposes a –5 penalty to Weapon Skill tests made by all living creatures within a two-metre radius for one round.
Once per round, the character can also utilise this mechadendrite as a weapon by spending a Half Action or a Reaction to make a Standard Attack action. It counts as a melee weapon with the Defensive quality (+15 parry, -10 attack) that inflicts 1d5 Rending damage, Pen 2.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I had a thought, would my divination reduce the corruption I would take if I went with Dark soul as well? I kinda want to go full heretek and you cant do that without a little corruption.
If it does (which would be sweeet) or doesn't, here are the rolls.
corruption points: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15
Malignancy: 1d100 ⇒ 98 - Gain obsession or addiction
The flesh is weak: The character blames the limitations of his own body for his failures and problems. He becomes increasingly obsessed with surgical modification and bionic replacement.
Sounds about right. :)


You also have Weapon Training (Low Tech). You didn't take weapon training las so if you ever get into a fire fight with that lasgun you would be at penalties so not sure if you want to readjust a little or not.

Your secondary aptitude needs to be an attribute one not an actual secondary one. I know it's a bit confusing. Basically you pick 4 base attributes (core, primary, secondary, tertiary) the core and primary get their secondary along with it and the secondary tertiary don't. The core also gets +5 to that attribute.

For starting corruption I would say no it won't reduce the corruption from dark soul just after that during gameplay.

Other than that I think it's good.

Scarab Sages

so there's no way to get Tech as an aptitude?


Well you got 2x knowledge one from Int core and one from Heretek. so you can swap out one of the knowledge for Tech since you got the extra one from an advantage.


Ok, I have everything in here.


Sirus, One change. Swap your Defense aptitude for Toughness aptitude. Defense is a related aptitude for Toughness.

Everything else looks great! I'll start up your posts a bit later today.

Thanks


Josiah Graves, Lil' Lazlo and Toxic Avenger (no name yet?) ready to rock?

Kevin looks good!

Josiah I just realized you got an auto pistol but no training in it with your starting exp. If you don't want to get penalties with it you may want to switch some things up.

Ah cheers GE, I had missed that.

Revised Xp spend:

Bs +5 100
Ag +5 100
Dodge 100
Awareness 100
Navigate (surface) 100
Stealth 100
Weapon Training (SP) 200

Yeah, Josiah is good to go.

2d10 + 20 ⇒ (10, 6) + 20 = 36
2d10 + 20 ⇒ (1, 2) + 20 = 23
2d10 + 20 ⇒ (6, 1) + 20 = 27
2d10 + 20 ⇒ (2, 9) + 20 = 31
2d10 + 20 ⇒ (2, 6) + 20 = 28

fate: 1d10 ⇒ 10 3 fate points
wounds: 1d5 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
divination: 1d100 ⇒ 10
The pain of the bullet is ecstasy compared to damnation.

Reduce this character's Agility characteristic by 3. The first time this character suffers Critical damage each session, roll 1d10. On a result of 10, he does not suffer any Critical Effects, though the damage still counts as Critical damage.


@Roscoe, what's your brutes name?


I think I'm going with: Tick.


LOL


Eww. I hate ticks. You can't even make servo skulls out of them.


Sirus was picked up by the Mechanicus when he was just a child on the Forge World Infernus Tertiarium. He tested high in intelligence so he was selected to be inducted into the Cult of the Machine God at the tender age of 12. There he learned much of tech and the appropriate rituals with which to appease the machine spirits and all the proper strictures of the Omnissiah. His young mind absorbed all this eagerly and started connecting the dots in things that were not children's games. He would get a hint of heresy there, a bit in a file here, a byte in an upload from wherever. He cherished these and tried to fit them into his teachings.
When they didn't fit, he got even more curious.
He started to barter and trade for information. After all, a little knowledge couldn't hurt.
Until it did.
He was discovered with his heretical files on biological modification and gene splicing just after his second upgrade, his utility mechadendrite. He fled the forge world on a rogue trader and got off as soon as he could onto the first hive he could. There he fled into the underbelly and disappeared. He now works as an information broker and freelance techpriest for hire, though any proper techpriest would know him on sight for what he is: Heretek.

curt dark soul: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 3) + 5 = 18
malig: 1d100 ⇒ 6
Palsy: The character suffers from numerous minor tics, shakes, and tremors with no medical cause. Reduce his Agility by 1d10.
