Hive World - Outcast - Desperado

I am interested. Let me root through my belongings. I used to have dark heresy books.

EDIT: Found them. Based on the crew I'm thinking a adeptus mechanicus sage or chirurgeon. XP?

Starting exp is 1000xp based on new user creation. I'm using point by system 60 points all stats start at 25 except for the +/- ones from home world which is 30/20 with max 40 starting attribute.

Extra starting gear based on influence bonus up to scarce (-10) availability.

Using all 4 books options. core/within/without/beyond.

I put up a few cheat sheets to make it easier to see all the home worlds/roles/backgrounds etc...

Thanks.

Very interested. I ran the adventure in the Core Rulebook and started Forgotten gods before one of the players moved away, if that wouldn't dissuade you from considering me. This was back in 2014 so hazy on things already.

I have a few ideas looking at the group I am similarly to Saashaa thinking Sage would work nicely but I would definitely think I'd be going with a different background and homeworld. I might go with another Role of course especially if we are the only two who show an interest.

Highborn-Adeptus Administratum- Heirophant/Sage/Seeker.

Lothar Von Bismarck
Highborn-Adeptus Administratum-Heirophant

WIP Backgorund:

Lothar of the Von Bismarck Cadet Branch of the Bismarck Dynasty grew up on the world of Juno. His branch of the family is quite far from the title of Rogue Trader but can trace it's roots back to the Great Crusade when the Bismarck Dynasty came ahead of the Imperial forces. The Rogue Trader Dynasty from which his branch of the family descended still has holdings in the sector but in the last few centuries has generally moved on from Askellon.

The Von Bismarck's however have deep roots with connections all over the sector as is the case with many nobility. The Von Bismarck's have always dealt in supplies which are always needed such as foodstuffs and arms. His own ancestors had always overseen factories churning out basic reliable goods under the watchful eye of contracted Adeptus Mechanicus representatives. Las weapon and flak armour are always in demand with runs of other weapons happening due to the demands of the markets. Still the family maintains artisans to complete custom orders.

The family has close ties to the Adeptus Administratum and in particular the Departmento Munitorum for obvious reasons.

I'm going Research Station --> Adepts Mechanicus --> Sage

I'm still unclear on how (much) to obtain gear.

EDIT: On second thought, there seems an unnecessary overlap between my character idea and Kevin's. Is the Assassin melee or ranged?


Pathfinder Maps Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

There wouldn't be, they could work together quite well. My character probably wont be increasing Tech Use any higher. I'd be thinking of my character as a social character and discrete quartermaster. Him working with a tech priest would work very well. I could acquire parts discretely for your tech priest to make gear.

For items, a simple way of putting it is take the tens digit from your influence stat and take that many scarce or easier items. My character is a bad example because he has master of paperwork.


Kevin,

Looks good. Only rolls you need to do is Wounds, Divination, Fate threshold and if your character would start with any Insanity/Corruption which doesn't look like it.

Same for you Saashaa. Assassin in the book is more ranged based due to the aptitudes but could easily do Melee to based on background or homeworld.

I have an excel character sheet was going to use and store on my google docs site if you want to fill it out or i can fill in the blanks for both of you up to you.

Divination: 1d100 ⇒ 63
1d5 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9


1d10 for emperors threshold as well to see if you get an extra fate point.


Pathfinder Maps Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Divination: 1d100 ⇒ 63
Wounds: 1d5 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Emperor's Threshold: 1d10 ⇒ 6

...the same divination, minimum wounds and no additional fate point but that was a long shot.

-3 Perception and ignore the first insanity point gained each session to a minimum of one.


wow what are the odds on same divination...

kevin div: 1d100 ⇒ 79
saashaa div: 1d100 ⇒ 86

I'll let you pick if you want to keep 63 or go with the ones i just rolled.

The only fear is dying without your duty done.

I shall take Resistance (Fear)

@Saashaa Just for your own sanity later one maybe note in the character sheet beside the 'all' the common/scholastic lores you do have, as to get to +10 you still need to have the first rank, could save some back tracking later.


Dotting. Currently playing an outlaw desperado in a game with friends, but I'd love to dig into a more support/backup kind of character. Got to get ready for work now though so I'll be back later with a more fleshed out idea :)


I'm giving the 2 slots to Saashaa and Kevin. If one of them decides not to play i'll ping you Solictor.

thanks.


Pathfinder Maps Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Thanks, I'll definitely be taking up the opportunity to play.

God Emperor Stab Lights and Glow Globes are ubiquitous with my character's Master of Paperwork bonus so are automatic acquisitions if he tries, would it be alright just to add them to his equipment list?

I'm hoping with the character to help the group get gear more easily and keep acquisition hits to subtlety to a minimum. I'll adjust to whatever the group as a whole does but I lean towards discretion.

Should myself and Saashaa move into the discussion thread?


yes that's fine.

if you can fill out the excel char sheet and post it up somewhere i can drop it into my google drive.

thanks.


Sure thing. Have a good game!
