I actually still had a bunch of bullets and alchemical carts left over from my broken gun.
Yay for money each. I'll go ahead and add those items to my sheet.
I am using Hero Lab for my character and there isn't a good one to one match for the chain sword, so I have put it down as a small chain saw. The damage is wrong, but I'll try to remember to edit that every time I re-upload my character.
Alright, anything else Drahlneep. Maybe a bag of holding for all your bullet supplies?
Any equip for Perrik?
Jeji, you still with us?
Should I wipe all the sold gear off the loot sheet to consolidate a bit?
We might want to try and buy a cart and pack animal of some sort. Even though I don't have the gunsmith feat yet, a masterwork gunsmithing tool kit would be useful. I'm happy to donate as much gold as needed to buy up whatever potions we can snag here before we move on.
Just so I am clear, the shield grants a total +2 to KAC and EAC, except lasers specifically? Using the SF terms, heh. I do prefer that method, less confusion once you get how off-target and flat-footed conditions work.
Will have updates sometime tonight on character sheet. I expect in an industrial town like Torch that the masterwork tools are easy enough to gather.
General opinions from folks: I do want the gunsmithing feat, and possibly other useful abilities from a dip in a second class. Now that I have the dex-to-damage thing going I can afford one or two levels somewhere. Anyone have thoughts on what I might want to consider?
Drahlneep you still seem to be a little light on damage to be our frontline damage dealer. If you are going to split class I'd look at fighter for the feats.
Part of that is needing the right gun, but I just picked up +Dex bonus to damage, and when I rage it ups Dex, PB shot another +1, which almost always applies since I can fire without provoking. Fifth level is a big swing in damage.
Just so I am clear, the shield grants a total +2 to KAC and EAC, except lasers specifically?
yep, EAC is good against incorporeal as well. I looked it up to check. I don't know that gunsmith is really going to be all that useful. It's really only for powder weapons which were only used by the Smilers in the AP. Scrapwall was really scraping the bottom of the barrel techwise. Going forward, powder is old skool. I'd stay with high BAB classes whether you want some rage powers or more general combat feats is up to you.
Ranger might be an option for a deeper dive if you want a warbeast team mate. I'm surprised there isn't a pistol combat style. There is one for shields. I don't know if it does all that much for you at this point.
Not sure if we want to have someone take a few ranks in Craft (Mechanical) to make some cool TEK ourselves...what does everyone think?
I think that's you, Perrik. If you aren't interested in being a Technomystic, maybe just take Craft Technology as your Scrapworth feat?
It is my understanding that building TEK only works if you have access to a tech foundry of some sort. And we haven't seen anything like that at all.
I'd expect your explorations to remedy that. Note that Scrapwall was meant to be a really picked over site. You'll encounter less disturbed and more tech rich locales on your path forward.
I'll go with the technomystic.
I'll go with the technomystic.
I'm going to follow SF on another thing: disable device will be under the Know: engineering skill.
It occurs to me that use of Knowledge (Engineering) that way should only apply to mechanical traps, or you should let Jeji rearrange skill ranks.

ninja. yeah, I was just about to post that Jeji should redistribute the ranks she put in Disable Device.
Scrap Lords Campaign Feats
Kricker: Chainsword Warrior- Gain proficiency in the use of a chainsword in combat
Drahlneep: Reveal the Black- Cast lesser confusion 1/day as spell-like ability. Will DC save = 10 + 1/2 level. May take WIS damage to add 1/point WIS to DC and additional rounds to duration.
Perrik: Technos-a-lot- Bonus feat Skill Focus: Craft (mechanical) and access to Technomancermystic prestige class
Jeji- still need input.
OK, I'm ready to move forward. Kricker is the only one that really gave me his equipment buy. Everyone has about 7K to spend and this may be the best chance to trade for a bit.
I have another 1k or so to spend so I'll buy a second wand of CLW to lessen the load of gold I am carrying ;)
I'd like to get a headband of +2 INT, and then put the new skill ranks into Craft (mechanical).
nice. that's 4k so you have some change.
Drahlneep- if you didn't want anything specific maybe a handy haversack to hold loot and supplies?
Ah, yeah, that would help actually. I'm a bad shopper. Busy week, so I need to find time to update gear/money on Drahlneep
I'll also get a handy haversack. 8 STR, after all, and I'll need a place to carry tools now.
I was trying to remember where all the kobolds came from since there was so much turnover through the first book. I think Jeji and Perrik came from the blightscale tribe, Drahlneep from the nearby sootscale tribe (both in the Stolen Lands) and Kricker was a displaced wanderer from a lost tribe of Scrapwall kobolds.
Perrik- since radiation is a poison effect, let's just say your +2 fort save blighted oracle bonus applies to all poison and disease effects.
If you're not able to get Perrik back, no worries on my end. Five failed poison saves in a row are tough to survive. I also have an idea for a potential replacement character, so I'm not going to drop the game in any case.
Cool, but we're still going to milk it for some drama, lol.
Hey Perrik- what about a kobold android? I think that's kinda fun. Basically same Perrik, but constructed and surges. You can drop the blighted curse if you like as well. I personally think it would be funny if you had tongues and spoke in dial-up modem in combat: "Whirrrr-virrrr-SHONG! SHONG! RRRRREEEeeeeeeeeeeeevvvrrrrrr..." or binary 110011000001111101010000110001! ; ) or EMOJI! LOL
That sounds amusing, even though it's going to be a hit to his casting stat.
Oh, good point. In this case, I'd say that the CHA penalty doesn't affect oracle class abilities since the android form actually strengthens your bond to your Mystery.
That works for me. One other question...will his android and Blightscale kobold stat modifiers stack?
No. It actually lines up well that both races have high dex and int. Just the diff bn str or cha penalty. I'm ambivalent about keeping the str penalty. maybe keeping it offsets the partial cha penalty. though the image of wimpy Perrik being stronger than expected would be kind of amusing.
Kricker's spells are now set.
Hey folks, been really distracted by real life issues so been slow to post, my apologies. I should resume normal posting in the next day or two.
No worries, Drahlneep. Now where has Jeji gone?
BTW that was a plasma and inferno grenade. These are the four left grenades left-
Grenade Roulette:
1. Concussion
2-3. Zero
4. Plasma
Looks like we're heading into the holidays. I'll be traveling, but will have regular service to keep going. Post as you can.
I'll post as soon as I have an action.
(;-), in case it's not obvious.)
Alright Perrik, you're reincarnated as the world's first android kobold. restat up. What color are your scales, btw?
Alright Perrik, you're reincarnated as the world's first android kobold. Restat up. What color are your scales, btw?
Let's go for android coloration. Pale blue, with silver highlights.
No, that makes him hard to recognize. Stick with red base, but with odd patterns on his scales.
Perrik- make sure you update your character sheet:
Add Emotionless and Constructed race traits.
The blightburn oracle curse is no longer appropriate. Tongues is fine though I'd like to add a little randomness to it. What do you think about a d4 roll to see which language you speak when stressed?
1. Androffan
2. Orc
3. Human (Taldane)
4. Robot (Binary)
I'll think about that. Right now I'm kind of distracted; one of my brothers died this afternoon, and I'm still in shock.
So sorry to hear that. I can't imagine. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Yes, my condolences on your loss.
I'm so sorry to hear that, condolences to you and your family.
Perrik, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Close enough. Go ahead and level up to 6th.
Thanks--have started.
