Oh? I thought he had to leave without shagging. I'm so glad he did though. Remember ... divine sperm.

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. Be there for your family.

Sending Internet hugs!

...Unity hugs would be quite something. XD

So sorry for your loss. Sending you all our best.

Be well, you and those.

Sorry for your family's loss.

Small check in and update.
House is settled, flight is shortly. Presumably (if im not scammed) i have my apartment, and once that apartment has internet, I should be posting regularly again.
Gonna read up on those posts while I'm on my flights I think, (3,500miles)

Hope you had a safe and enjoyable flight!

Yes, I hope all goes well with your flight and living space!

Hectic few weeks. but finally got internet again, and in theory, my old house has sold if nothing goes wrong in the next few days.

Now time to catch up reading, that'll be my task this week. 111ish.

hope all has been well for folks as well.

Welcome back!!

Theo will post when the supernova is resolved.

Nissa is ahead in initiative, so the upside is that Theo won’t get caught in the blast. (Does SF allow you to “charge” at double speed? I remember PF1 does.)

Charge
Charging is a full action that allows you to move up to double your speed and make a melee attack at the end of the movement. You can draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1.

Charging carries tight restrictions on how you can move. You must move at least 10 feet (2 squares), and all movement must be directly toward the designated opponent, though diagonal movement is allowed. You must have a clear path toward the opponent, and you must move to the space closest to your starting square from which you can attack the opponent. If this space is occupied or blocked, you can’t charge. If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks movement, slows movement (such as difficult terrain), or contains a creature (even an ally), you can’t charge. You can still move through helpless creatures during a charge. If you don’t have line of sight (see page 271) to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can’t charge that opponent.

Attacking on a Charge: After moving, you can make a single melee attack. You take a –2 penalty to the attack roll and a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn. You can’t move any farther after the attack. Some classes, including solarian and soldier, grant abilities that modify attacks made on charges.

I'm going to be away from home today through the 30th, so my responses may be sporadic.

Is Moreau's invitation only for Unity? Doers Unity with us to join him. The godling looks to the Chimera for his wishes.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Was there a door to this room, or was it an open hallway to a room?

if there was a door. Did they open it with a button, or was it automatic and or probably the AI door control?

Quick question: Henri has information to share but I don't recall if we have a way to do such privately. I think we rely on spoken word through our communicators, correct?

It automatically opened when Moreau's vehicle slipped up next to it. Moreau's institute is quite seamless. It looks natural, but is highly technological with AI Montgomery's running the place.

No group telepathy as of yet.

No group telepathy as of yet.

Obviously we need to fight more telepaths so Unity can develop the trait.

The PhDestruction clones were telepathically linked within short distances. You had no way of knowing that though.

Sydney Sweeney is the real life equivalent of Nissa van Donk. I suppose Nissa could be advertising jeans and throwing the first pitch at a Red Sox game while I’m away. Maybe an ad depicting her in a tea cup, advertising an iced tea made from hot tea that Nissa bathed in?

I hope all is well with you guys! I miss gaming with you, but the last 5 weeks have been crazy-busy. I gave up digital art too, and am treating my doctoral program as my creative outlet.

Can Nissa really go to Wand School and get back to her modelling career on World Zero and work on her relationship on Tarokh? Hahah.

I hope the doctoral program is going well.

Yeah, hope things are going well for you!

Zellgato can practically smell the whiff of fear. Dr. Wonderful may, according to his bio, have lightning reflexes and superior strength, but he was still scared of the Unity for half a second, until he recognized him.

"Phade asked me if I wanted to be part of something bigger," Mr. Wonderful says. He pauses, turns his head, achieves the perfect noble pose, before adding, "How could I refuse?"

Haha! I can't wait to see what happens when Dr. Wonderful meets The Olympian!

Thanks!

So far, a 4.0, assuming I didn’t totally blow it on the last assignment of my first course. Just a 1-credit intro, but still… I’ll take a strong start!

A strong start is good for sure! :)

Hey, Nissa! Glad you could check in - and glad things are starting off well.

Unity look doubtful. "Should we be reassured by the fact that it's so fast but it hasn't been crashed into anything? Because 'fast' and 'amateur pilot' don't seem like a good combination."

Unity do not have piloting ranks...

You are teasing me! I’m dying here!

We are late in the packing for our annual fall trip to somewhere else. I will likely have access, at least by phone, so my normal (slow) rate of posting should not be interrupted. In case I don't get back here for a minute, have a fantastic day. Every day.

Cheers!

Enjoy your trip. Since we are all on different trajectories, no one's waiting for you to post. :-)

When you do get back to it, I believe Verve was asking where you got your nanites.

Thanks for the reminder. I think the planet where he got them was Utopia, wasn't it? Weren't we keeping what we found there close to the vest?

He did find them on Utopia. I'm not sure how much the group has told people at BT. Boston Theoretical does have a lot of new faces these days.

I'm still way behind on looking up anything regarding ship upgrades or the impending level up for Henri, but I figured I was crazy overdue to at least show signs of life considering I've been checking the thread almost daily.

Very torn on the character level. With Henri carrying those nanites, I don't know if there's value in multiclassing into the nanocyte class or perhaps we can use the design of that class to create a modified class progression for Henri.

That kind of thing is where I like 2e's archetypes :D

I'm having some computer issues, posting may be sporadic on my part.

Oh dear I gotta try catching up.
I basically forgot about it while I was covering other's shifts.
Although other than Zellgato vibing, I havent' really thought of any goal for him.
His life goal kind of completed and he's just vibing busy in retirement living life haha.
He's happy to help (as am I).

It's Theo's player's Birthday today! WOO!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday! It's a big birthday week in these parts. I know at least five people with a birthday today or tomorrow. You're in great company!

That's awesome!!!

Happy late birthday.
and happy birthday random folks Henri's controller knows

Happy late birthday.

and happy birthday random folks Henri's controller knows

LOL, they show their appreciation in random and unknown ways!

Do we have G.D.’s statistics? I haven’t looked since I’m on my phone.

I don't think there was a stated statblock before.

Or at least I didn't note one, and I didnt' see anything looking up Gay Deceiver.

Thanks, Z. I also had to look for a while to find the reference provided for potential upgrades. I found the stealth option, which I referred to with my last post, but overlooked cloaking. Found it now.

I should also review armor and weapons with just talking vague wishes.

Zellgato, what do you think about the question of picking up nanocyte levels for Henri? I'm wondering if I should or if we can continue to homebrew like we have been. I like the latter, to be honest, but I don't want to cheat by double-dipping into a formal class and what we've been constructing...

Yeah, there are some good chunks in the Mech books as far as logistics that alreayd exist for "upgrading" things. Fair shot a lot of that could easily be adapted for it.
Alternative (and messier) there is also the mechanic class's alternate version that is a literal vehicle progression. I'v wanted to play but I never got the chance. Someday! Someday! I wanna run over folks.

Depending on what you and the GM likes. Off hand I think Mechas are the easiest almost 1:1 I dont' actually remember how big GD is, but if it isn't massive, you/Tarren could also arbitrarily chose a vehicle to replicate it. though most vehicles are slower than Henri in a chase. and I'm not sure if ya'll want to get that granular.
Mechs are good if its gonna be weapon combat involved. Vehicle are simplier if its just travel

Nanocyte is a lot of fun, but for the first few levels you don't get a ton from the mechanics on it. It is really a class you go all in on, but its nice having items at the ready (lot of action economy issues though). What were you wanting from it? just justification for the Nanite connection? I feel like you're already in a homebrew class so might as well stick to it. The ship feels more like a story driven feature not a class feature. Though if we start driving it into danger then it might be a bit of weirdness.
If you wan to give up something in-class for the mechanics and benefits. I wager you could start to switch out some zoomer stunts the same way an archetype does.

could also look at archetypes. there are a few somewhat usfeul ones
racer for instance.
I suppose it depends on how involved the ship might want to be.

It's all about justifying the nanite features. I'm fine with keeping them a story element and leaning into the zoomer. The racer archetype looks fun, but I think I'm already committing some of what I would be trading out.

MOAR ZOOM!

More zooommiessss.

I never looked at starfinder enhanced much, but it might be useful for future stuff.
I've only recently started looking at it because i've been wanting to find a game to try that new witchwarper enhanced out. neat magic themes
