Gadgeteer Trick Attack Devices details:
Pending GM approval: I envision the trick attack distraction using gadgets as follows. Duncan has small gadgets that detect his deployment of his various weapons and use simple programs to time a somewhat random response designed to distract an enemy just as Duncan makes an attack. The devices are in different places on his armor and clothing, are very small and lightweight, and have minimal power needs. These are minor effects that are not capable of any other game effect. Some devices make lights flash, cause low power lasers to shine various directions, or generate simple holographs of a different weapon in his other hand or a small drone flying around him. Some emit noises, etc. When the trick attack roll beats the DC, it means the distraction worked and the target is flat-footed and takes extra damage if the attack hits. He also has a gadget that links to his musical instrument, a synth pipe, which he can play while in battle using a device something like musicians use to play harmonicas while also using their hands for other activies. In this case the harmonica-like device translates movements of air through different channels to synthesize melodies, chords, percussion, and the like. Playing as he attacks can be distracting to those not expecting it. Trick Attack (Ex) - 1st Level

Money 117 Credits Background:
Duncan was born and raised on the Pahtra homeworld of Pulonis (designated Vesk-6 by the Veskarium), a lush lovw-gravity world where his race is the predominant intelligent species. Duncan inherited his people's love of music and battle, but his real passion is devising mechanical devices and gadgets. The planet has a strong EM field that disrupts most technology, so he worked out ways to use non-electronic replacements for common devices. Blessed with a bright mind, an extroverted personality, and a graceful physique, he won a scholarship to study in the Pact Worlds. He was glad to escape the oppression of the Vesk ruling over his people and developed a healthy passion for defending himself and others from various kinds of repression by cultural and governmental entities. He went to various schools, worked various jobs, and generally kept moving while he was young and idealistic. Now he has matured a bit, but still is young at heart and eager to explore the universe generally, looking for adventure and perhaps wealth and fame as well. His specialty remains devices that work in environments with challenging electromagnetic properties. That is what drew him to the colony on Nakondis. The charges in the atmosphere require special technology. In addition to the charge contained in the ever-present mists and fogs, the colony tin miners encountered problems automating their mining operations since the ore tends to hold excess charge and short out devices. Either he was one of the original colonists, or he was hired to work there as a mechanical engineer until they had their colony devices running reliably. However long he has been on the colony, he has gotten to know all of the colonists, including the android scholar, Cedona. He was not in Madelon’s Landing when the Azlanti arrived, working in one of the tin mines. Since losing communications with the colony base, he has been making his way back to investigate what is going on. I have chosen as one of Duncan's languages, Azlanti, since it's on the list of languages a PC can select. I'm not sure how he would have learned it, perhaps picking it up as an ancient language while studying in a university in the Pact Worlds. If so, he probably doesn't know exactly how to pronounce words properly and may not recognize the modern dialect, but presumably he can piece together meaningful sentences when needed.
Appearance and Personality:
Duncan is 5'6" tall, weighing 150 lb, but he looks taller than he is due to having the lean pahtra frame. His race has light fur. His fur is white with dark stripes and rosettes, similar to a snow leopard. His eyes are gold in color, with a vertical pupil slit. Most find him attractive. He is an extrovert, enjoying interactions with others and being the center of attention. He loves to tell stories, sing songs (ballads, bawdy love songs, and other traditional folk songs), plays the synth pipe, and is a good dancer. He even performs for extra cash when he can. The synth pipes translates breath movement through the mouthpiece into sounds like woodwinds or brass instruments, which play from the speaker connected to the pipe. He has also devised a modified mouthpiece that looks and functions much like a harmonica but can produce a wide range of sounds depending on the settings which he controls with his free hands on the console connected to the speakers. He likes to play music that mimics the bagpipes played by some clans on his home world, although some say that music is an acquired taste. When he's in the field or expecting possible confrontations, he attaches various gadgets to his clothing and armor. Some of these are on his wrists or ankles, some on his torso, some around his neck. They are capable of creating light, sound, and holographs that appear without warning when he is fighting to create distractions. Religion:
While Duncan is not highly religious, he has been drawn to Triune, particularly the trinity's Brigh aspect. In pursuing his studies of engineering and technology, he's interacted with more than a few other followers of Triune and appreciates their no-nonsense approach to religion. He keeps an emblem for Brigh in his personal effects and refers to her when he wants to invoke a higher power. He doesn't expect miracles from her, but when he's challenged with a difficult innovation or gadget, he sometimes half-seriously requests her aid and inspiration. He respects androids and the achievements of the Aballonians. If he knows of a center of worship near him, he'll attend, mostly to meet like-minded people. |
