Welcome to the 108th Hunter's Spear. Let the character creation begin, or continue as the case may be.
Got my guy here. Had a few questions I've posted in Recruitment, but they weren't addressed.
1. Joining with someone for the Tauros Venator. Corsario, you still want to do that? If so, we need to know if your Servitor will also fit inside.
Also, I don't have the stats or turret options/stats, so if we do go this route, could someone please post the details b/c I don't have the latest book.
2. Are we able to exchange equipment? I have two sets of armor, and maybe a few other unnecessar/redundent items, can they be traded? I'm just wanting to get a backpack power/ammo unit for my gun.
3. Does rapid reload talent count for turrets?
4. Can an MIU operate the Tauros' turret?
5. If we can't fit the Servitor in the larger Tauros Venator, then do people mind me being an Enginseer? Seems with our background and level of tech, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have more than one of us around for repairs. If people don't think its necessary, then I'll switch to a Ratling. Maybe with the size of a Ratling, it would be possible to ride in the Vehicles, my comrade could be in a seperate vehicle, but with smaller size, it might make sense. So if that's confusing the options are:
a) Storm Trooper with Casario's Enginseer and Servitor in a Venator.
b) Ratling in the Venator, my comrade in another if we're small enough
c) We have 2 Enginseer's
d) Ratling and companion in regular Tauros
e) Original Storm Trooper with a diff. vehicle, something operated by a single person.
I acknowledge your questions, and am thinking on them.
No real questions yet and still working the background up.
However, the alias is done.
You mentioned in the recruitment thread that special weapons get 3 reloads each. Does this also include the regimental preferred basic weapon? (Grenade Launcher)
Yes, your grenade launcher comes with three clips.
Does it matter the ratio ?
Thinking 12 Krak, and 6 Frag
That is fine.
Well, looks like Trooper Zack is ready to go.
I do not think that an MIU will hook up to a pentle mounted turret. However it will work on a regular turret.
Oh we've moved from the recruitment thread. You should really tell the peeps in the recruitment thread.
Viluki, who bowed out, I believe was the other one.
What i envision is some sort of servitor dock in the Venator, although it will take some extra time to move it in and out.
I am also fine with sharing a tank with someone, but I wonder how loyal excited they would be to share a tank with a commissar?
As a scared loyal trooper, I don't want to be anywhere near a commisar. :)
I have just opened up the gameplay thread for casual roleplay while we wait for everyone.
Just to let you all know, I am looking to start Tuesday afternoon.
sounds good, and looking forward to it. Last 40k game I played, was a FTF dark heresy when it first came out.
So should the vehicle weapons have 2 reloads too?
That makes sense, yes.
If you have not yet, please post in the gameplay thread when your char is finished
eek, the commissar found the poker game, and is sitting in.
Need to write all of Cadby's stats, but I am almost there...
ya, but he's not dressed as a commissar. He's currently dressed like a dock worker. What better way to find heresy than to pretend to be one of the "normal" guys and just talk to people?
commissars don't find heresy, that is up to the inquisitors.
They just enforce discipline on the troops, sometimes with extreme predjudice. :)
Alright, I am trying to decide on when to start even if the others are not ready yet. Please let me know if you will have a hard time posting on the weekends.
I might have the occational problem for the weekends, but open for right now.
Need to finish the character, but I am on!
I should be ready today
I'm fine to post weekends.
I can post on weekends, but it would either be early morning or late evening, as I am gone most of the day on both Saturday and sunday.
I can post both. I generally slow down during the weekend, but don't let that stop you!
Cadby profile is ready.
Questions:
He has no Weapon Training (Las). His vehicle has a Lascannon... Did he gets the Weapon Training (Las) "for free"? Does it let him use a Laspistol to?
He has the Mechadendrite Use (Weapon) Talent, but it would be more useful to him to have another one (a Manipulator one). Can I change the talent and Mechadendrite?
He has some equipment that he does not need... can he trade it:
2 Knifes
Flak vest
Combi-tool
Can he trade his Laspistol for another (Solid bullet) pistol?
Squad: Who will carry the Auspex? What about Cadby?
You lot can trade the extra knife for a piece of gear with the same availability or greater, as in more available. The extra armor and such you will have to keep. It can stay in you locker back at HQ, but will still need to maintain it.
I should be starting things this evening. There is still time for any last minuet changes to your char.
Ps, I would also recomend that everyone pick up The Imperial Infantryman's Handbook when you can. It is an interesting bit of fiction that is the sort of thing that all of you have in the game.
And about the other questions?
The Mechadendrite change?
You can change your mechadendrite if you want to. I will say no to the las proficiency for now. Besides, the gunner operates the turret, or were you going to be the gunner? I suppose a manipulator will help you be the mechanic better, but again it is up to you. I am a big fan of "let's try it and see."
By the rules if you are crew of a vehicle, you can use all the weapons on that vehicle. So you can use the lascannons, unless the GM doesn't want to play by that rule.
Why would you not want your armour? Crazy head!!
Rassaphore Cadby doesn't have Weapon Training(las) because Rassaphore Cadby's player chose Weapon Training(Solid Projectile) over it, even though Rassaphore Cadby was issued with a laspistol and nominated to put himself in a vehicle with a twinlinked las-weapon. If I was running this game a Major plot point would be how this tech priest got the position he did. I suspect HERESY!
Don't throw away your combi-tool. Give it to someone in a Tauros without an operator or a tech priest. We all start with tech use, we could all use it.
My character already has an Auspex, so I don't need it, but if we want a functioning medic my character could take up the mantle if we trade the spare auspex for a medi-kit. With GM permission, of course! I've taken medicae anyway.
@Rassaphore - Are you running off the old Beta playtest document by any chance?
Very well, Your squad has an advanced medikit instead of a auspex. Also, who is the squad leader?
I'll trade my spare knife for a Munitorum manual. Hopefully it will get me a +2 or some RP seeds when requisitioning equipment. Is that OK GM?
Also I have the Uplifting primer. The version with the Tau section inserted : P
I will allow it.
As a trooper, I doubt that I would qualify for squad leader. :)
1 - Because I think it's funny
2 - Because we have a funny religion
3 - By way of apology for tearing into him
I nominate Rassaphore Cadby as squad leader
I don't have the Fellowship for it or any command skills...I've also never played OW...If those two things don't matter I'll throw my hat in for it. I've got RL skillz.
I also have the RL skillz, but playing the character, I don't :)
Thanks DM. I will trade the Mechadentrite.
Phil, you are right! I will beg from forgiveness from the Omnissiah whit the correct purgatory litanies! I don't know why I took Solid as his weapon kind if he will operate Las. I will change that too.
So, Who needs his extra Combi-Tool?
Cadby can be the leader if you want.
PS: I am using the Core Rulebook. I don't think is beta. Why? I am missing something? Maybe I should check the Errata.
I was just trying to come up with an excuse for why you didn't take weapon training Las and why you took a las mechandrate instead of the utility one, then asked the GM for a utility one.
Alright Who has the highest Fel rating? Who has an aptitude in Fel and Fel related skills?
I have Fel 30 and the following relivent apritudes: Fellowship, Fieldcraft, and Intelligence
Pelles for squad Leader!
