Okay, so I looked through the Dragonstar ships and have decided on using this one Galinak Snubber: Huge Vehicle; hp 80; Top Spd 50; Acc 9; Dec 9; Hand +11; Sensors +1; Stealth 15; AC 13 (–2 size, –5 Dex, +5 natural, +5 armor); SQ vehicle, hardness 8, maneuv spars; Fuel 250,000. Stations: Pilot 1. Cargo: 100 lb. Cost: 1,000,000 cr. Weapon: Twin laser cannons (battery); Fire arc: front; Attack bonus: +5 (targeting computer); Damage: 6d10x2; Range: 5. Slightly modified of course, like a bigger cargo bay


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

The possibities are infinite, especially since one could be anything.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Alright, so this isn't a complete story, isnt supposed to be, but here's the major events, she was born on an unknown planet to an isolated tribe of gnolls, she had always wanted to be a warrior, but females were forbidden to become them, rebellion ensued, as it does. After several months of house arrest she went Linday Borden on her dad and ran off, where she stole an unmodified version of the ship, crashed on a remote outpost where she ran across a former legendary pirate, trained for several years, later ran across a derelict vessel and acquired a pessimistic Christopher Walken AI


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Now let me just continue my story, just need a point of origin and a few other details.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

See, I had this massively epic story that seemed to fit, but the more I thought about, and forgot about it, the more generic it seemed and I don't want that for this character, I want her to break the mold and be completely unique, hence space pirate who's highly charismatic, uses a big hammer instead of a cutlass most of the time and was mutinied by an AI, it sounds unique.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

I'm teaching them to dodge and there is absolutely no danger of them being injured due to the fact that I use nonlethal grenades in my classes.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Shhhh, I secretly haven't figured that part out yet, I'll do what I usually do and wing it, as for how I'm getting to the school, an escape pod can be shot at a very high speed.

Stats are fine, but what about the most important bits...the story? :)

that's the really fun part about playing a pirate, you'll never get the whole story, it's always a mystery and a lot of lies, I don't even know the whole story, except for the rogue AI mutiny and a little bit about her past, which I won't say, but let's say that the evil empire guys are evil. And greedy


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

I know it was a joke and that would be her reaction, to look at you like you're stupid, but not actually say anything.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Gnolls are actually jackals and more to the point she'd probably look at you like your stupid.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

You guys are absolutely right, this is a stupid idea and I should scrap the whole thing, ship, character, equipment, everything. I don't know what I was thinking, I mean a character concept that I actually like? That's absurd, I should make a character designed by you guys, that's a much better idea.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

I'll check it out


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Alright Fowl, here's how long it would take for my frigate to go from Tattooine to Coruscant, using a class 1 hyperdrive, it would take 22 hours and 14 minutes, with a .5 hyperdrive it would take 11 hours and 7 minutes.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Where do I find the ships?


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Give me a start and end point and I can tell you


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

That means that the time to get from A to B is x.5 or half the time.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

I don't have those books


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

I think it's about 500 at longest, it's also armed to the teeth with a whopping 84 turbolasers each doing 5d10 points of damage, not to mention the ion cannons which bestow a cumulative -2 penalty to all usages of the ship which is hit, which will disable any ship within a few rounds of combat, in addition if things get hairy, I can use my x.5 hyperdrive and be out of there in the blink of an eye, anything beyond that is privileged to chip away at my shields and hull.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Designed to seige ships and plunder, not engage in dogfights, it's a frigate, not a starfighter.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

But I like my ship


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Hyperspace itself doesn't really make sense, it's a pocket dimension that can be ruined by an asteroid, resulting in instant death


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

The pirate is here because ship got stolen, well it was more of a mutiny due to a rogue AI onboard the ship, it was the autopilot, so now the pirate's out to reclaim it, but needs more training.

So ships have been allowed in the past, but with heavy restrictions. The mining ship was strictly non combat. And Dave's ship is hopelessly broken. Fixing it is what he does with his spare time. Basically it can come out for plot reasons only. Just having a ship is a no. If you're a space pirate with a space pirate ship you have no reason to be hanging around a school. You'd just fly off to go find treasure. Now, you want to do a Captain Jack (Sparrow) (yes, I had to specify...there are that many characters named Captain Jack out there) and somebody stole your awesome space pirate ship, well, that's another matter. It's out there and it's supposed to be yours, you just don't happen to have physical access to it at this present moment, but that is merely a technicality that will be corrected. At some point. Eventually. As soon as you find it. That's a character arc. I'm all about building in character motivations. :)

I wouldn't exactly call the Crimson Wraith awesome, that's too tame of a word, she's a Huge star transport class ship, with a 50 metric ton cargo hold, a X.5 hyperdrive with a X4 backup, ion engines capable of attack speed, 350 shields, 1000 hull points, something around 20 DR from armor, 21 twin turbolaser cannons on both port and starboard, 2 mass pulse mine tubes on the rear for deterring would be pursuers, two ion cannons mounted on the front to disable the engines of any ship unlucky enough to catch my eye, life support for 50 organic creatures, and supplies for about two months, not to mention all the smuggler's cubbies about the ship filled with unique goods.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Yup, student, also trouble maker and thief,but mostly student. The well poo was that I can't really use my ship weapons with the algorithm for the dice because they do 5d10x2


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Well poo


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Actually I custom made it, it's a more awesome version of the Treasure Planet


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Is a Huge star transport custom made out of the question? Or should I run the specs by Lyn and let her decide?


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Oh, well then, that's fine, just have to find some other way to introduce her, also does anybody know if there are restrictions on starships?


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Happy Birthday Lyn!


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Combine potion of dancing lights with potion of ghost sounds of the rave version of Never gonna give you up


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Is it okay for me to turn Kevin, the goo dragon, into a walking rave Rick Roll?


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Somewhere in the school there is a Goblin,waiting for something to happen, a book of matches in one hand and a grenade in the other, "I wonder if I could develop some kind of launcher for these."


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Alright so I get new students to KO, maybe, if they don't make the reflex save...


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

From my previous posts it appears as though I KOed my entire first period class due to a large nonlethal grenade explosion and I guess I was waiting on a response for someone after that.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Is it time for me to blow up more students? Seems like we need some comic relief.

It's not my fault students wreck it. I mean, come on, acid explosions?

And you all know the school fights back occasionally. Like in the SIM rooms during games. Or when motorcycle riding goblins hurt its poor, innocent doors. :(

That was NOT my fault, somebody switched my brake and turbo lines, ergo not my fault.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

I can supervise them during lunch


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Is there anything I can do?


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

sure, was about to head to bed anyway, got work tonight


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Advaran pulled out a whistle and blew it to summon a huge tiger, "Take them somewhere safe," he told it.

The tiger nodded and began to pick up the students.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

At least the save is low? I can't help doing a lot of damage with explosives.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

[Spoilers]Grenade damage 40 nonlethal, reflex save 15 for half[/spoilers]


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Thanks


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Anyone know the reflex save and damage of a standard grenade?


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

He chuckled wickedly, "Maybe in other classes," he said, pulling out a match book and a clay sphere, "In this class," he lit the match. "Lesson one, the most important rule," he lit the fuse with the match, "Is to," he counted to five silently, "DODGE," he shouted as he flung the nonlethal grenade into the middle of them.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

He smiled as he dismounted and sent the bike back to it's pocket deminsion. "Welcome little children. I am your physical education teacher. Do any of you know the first rule of physical education?"


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

He growls and makes a sharp turn through the doors, "Stupid looping hallways." He parks and takes a look around.


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Advaran rode his custom motorcycle through the halls and began to turn to go outside with it. "No time like the present to try a few new things."


Male Boggle Goblin Tinker 20/Wizard 10 Bombardier 10

Advaran gets back onto his bike before heading out at a decent speed to explore the school.
