Campaign Maps | CALICO WANDERER (tier 2) | Space Combat Cheat Sheet
MISSILE/TORPEDO RULES: For Everyone but especially Iolas & Dawn: Under the normal rules, if you roll a miss with a missile, that missile has no more effect on the combat. It detonates harmlessly in the wrong spot, or whatever. It is just gone. I don't think that's very much fun though. So I am leaving the missiles on the map if they miss. This creates a need for a couple new Gunner Actions. But first, to clarify: If the gunner hits with a missile attack but the missile does not reach the target in one round, the gunner may keep making gunnery checks to have the missile keep trying. This does not take an action, though it does mean that the further the missile has to go the more likely it will miss. The gunner gets to move the missile on the map towards the target. Missiles have perfect maneuverability (they may make two turns for every hex they move forward). If the gunner misses with a missile attack, the missile will simply travel in a straight line its full move. It will be destroyed if it hits an obstacle (like an asteroid). If there is a missile in space without a target, and the missile could either strike an enemy ship using a normal move (as in a FLY maneuver) or has an enemy ship in its forward arc beyond that distance, then the gunner may make a REACQUIRE action. The gunner rolls gunnery to have the missile attack again. This follows the normal rules for attacks. If the missile could not strike an enemy and has no target in its forward arc (or if the gunner does not want the missile to attack those targets) the gunner may make a REMOTE OPERATE action. In this case the gunner moves the missile however he wishes. The missile moves as a ship and the gunner selects a pilot action which applies to the missile instead of the ship. This may include stunts. The piloting DCs use the same tier as the main ship. Missiles have no inherent piloting bonus or penalty. If a missile could reach an enemy ship by using a stunt or pilot action but could not reach that ship using a normal move, the gunner may make both a REMOTE OPERATE and a REACQUIRE action. The gunner may also do this deliberately even if it is not needed if he wants the missile to have the benefit of a pilot action (such as the EVADE action). However, since the gunner is taking two actions in one turn, the -4 penalty for firing two weapons with the "fire at will" action applies, and he may take no other actions. No matter how many actions are used, a missile still may move only once per round. Only one gunner can control a missile on any given turn. Note: Any weapon may be used to fire at a missile that is in space before the gunnery phase begins. However, it is worth mentioning that this will be difficult for weapons that do not have the Point property. FYI the nuclear missiles move 5 hexes per turn. The light torpedoes move 8 hexes.

He jumps up on his chair pointing his rapier to the sky (or at least the chandelier). "In Cayden's name we shall drive back the villains and let them see that they are no match for good people who take heart! When good men find their courage the wicked flee! For who can stand against..." As Belchfast speaks, his chair begins to wobble, and shakes back and forth more and more until- Acrobatics (to balance) Take 10: 10 - 2 = 8 CRASH! Belchfast goes tumbling to the floor with a clatter, sending the chair flying. He lies on his back for a moment, the wind knocked out of him.

Healer's Way 5/5, Spells (1st) 3/5, Inspiration 4/5 Okay, it's not too hard. 1. First you need to send an image to the Google Slide. When you first open the page, normally the little arrow is highlighted (and it says "Select" when you mouse over it). To the right of that is the button for adding a text box, and then to the right of that is the "Image" button. Click that. 2. You will get a menu of where the image comes from. If it is already on your computer you can select "upload from computer." Or if you are getting an image from a webpage, when you are at that webpage right-click on the image and select "open image in new tab" (or new window if you prefer). Once your browser has only the image on the screen, the address bar will have the URL of the image. You can copy that information and then paste it into the "By URL" option on the google slide image menu. 3. Once the image is on the screen you probably want to resize it. You probably know how to do that. It's best to use the resizers on the corners (rather than the sides) because they don't distort the image. 4. When you have the image selected, a bunch of icons on the toolbar will be visible that weren't there before. One of them, just right of the section you were using to upload the image, has a little pencil and that one allows you to choose a color as a border. The three little lines next to that allow you to decide how thick the border is. 5. A little further to the right is an icon that looks like a capital L with another L upside down and behind it. When you mouse over that it says "Crop Image." You can use that if you don't want to use the entire image you uploaded. It puts little black bars on the sides of the image and you can move them around. 6. Finally, beside the Crop Image icon there is a little down arrow. If you mouse over that it says "Mask Image." You can use that if you don't want the picture to be a square or rectangle. When you click it you get a menu of shapes you caan choose from. That's how I made the icons round. That should be it. Feel free to hit me with questions.

New Houserule Alert! Guys, I am getting sick of looking up the ranges for space weapons all the time. I'm sure I would eventually memorize them but part of the problem is that the weapon ranges are completely arbitrary. So we are going to go with a simple fix: All projectile weapons which fire matter at less than the speed of light (including coilguns, railguns, flak throwers, plasma cannons) have short range. All energy weapons that fire a beam at the speed of light (including lasers, particle beams, EMP cannons, gravity guns) have medium range. All tracking weapons that home in on an enemy vessel (including missiles and torpedoes) have long range. These changes will go into effect in the next space battle. We'll finish the current one as-is.

OUR PARTY: Firstly, basically all the characters that engage in normal weapon combat are DEX-based. Some more than others. The one STR-based fighter we currently have uses an Aldori sword and will probably be getting Weapon Finesse eventually. Most of our front-liners are also switch-hitters, so we've got ranged combat fairly well covered, even though no single character is really great at it. We only have two casters, myself (a cleric) and an arcanist. Combats tend to be dominated by regular combat with a few spells here and there. We have a fair bit of skills covered, but only one skill monkey (a rogue). The rest of us mostly get 2+INT skills per level. WHAT COULD FIT: I would prefer a new character not be trying to outdo an existing character in some kind of area so here are things that I'd like to see: 1. A tanky STR-based fighter. While we're pretty good overall, we don't have a high-STR two-hander around. None of us does that much damage on a hit, and none of us uses heavy armor. 2. A nature guy. Elena has some nature-y skills but isn't that great at them (thanks to low skill ranks). Some of the other characters do too but we could use more. 3. Party buffing. Elena casts bless now and then but that's the only real party buff we have right now. A Bard's Inspire Courage would be very popular with this party. A Cavalier's Teamwork Feats might also work in this regard. Note that a Skald's Raging Song doesn't really help guys with DEX builds and that's most of the party. 4. More Spells. With only two prepared casters out of five characters we don't cast too often before we run out of spells. Another caster could be useful, especially if he uses a different spell list. I know it's hard to cover all of these bases in one character (though I would like to see someone try!). But they should give you some ideas.

You see, a body is left behind when the spirit of a person departs, since a new body is created for them in the afterlife. Each plane does this in a different way. For example, in Axis-" Azul blinks for a moment. "Oh! I see what you mean. The bodies were men who were executed for being bandits."

Is there anything I can do to get things rolling? Just asking and no pressure, I am just hoping we can get into the exploration phases! There is no problem with the pace. People are still roleplaying introductions to one another and you can't really rush that... or at least you don't want to.

Okay guys, I've been thinking about the rules of starship combat and I'm going to make a few changes. The most significant one is that I am going to cut the speed of all starships by half. My experience so far is that the current rules require a very large hex grid, most of which is unused, to provide enough space to play out a space combat. Furthermore, even a ship with turn 2 maneuverability still has the movement to come virtually full circle each round and always point its nose at the enemy, which ends up meaning that whoever wins initiative has a huge advantage over the enemy. Having only half the movement means that each combat round will allow more limited positioning, which makes the various pilot stunts worth doing. This also means ranges need to be shortened. Short range will be 3 hexes, medium 6 hexes, and long range will be 12 hexes. I am also going to assign damage types to weapons (Fire, Piercing, and Radiation) and add a science action to optimize shields against a particular type of weapon. If a missile has not reached its target in a single round then it gets placed on the map like a ship. Any weapon will be able to target the missile, though they are hard to hit and weapons with the Point property get a bonus to hit missiles.

I thank you for your most gracious hospitality." He looks around the compound with the others. "I agree that some sort of ambush would be in order... they say that surprise is worth an army." "My magic is mostly limited to healing, but I can enchant a weapon for a short time. I can also fight; my..." he looks towards Oleg and Svetlana. "...father was a master of Rondelero, the Taldan sword-and-buckler fighting style, and I picked up some of it from him."

She presents Historia-7 with the album. "Apparently it has some therapeutic value for those suffering from emotional trauma due to grief. Zigvigix thought you were suffering from such a trauma and were in need of assistance." "I am not a psychiatrist, but an album that can do that seemed useful, so I bought one for myself in case I ever suffer through such an incident."
