Knight Apprentice S. Morrow's page

Oh crap, I missed this! ... lol

Yep, I'm interested.

Athough PF doesn't seem an intuitive system to run this in, I can get behind the idea.

Maybe I'll make a monk, or something.

Edit: Or if I can find a spell-less inquisitor, that could be fun too.

You can if you use the correct resources and classes. You can change it up to be more technical. Take a look at my avatar's profile in how we turned a Soulknife/Psion into a MW BOS Knight (Apprentice). The most problems will be with the avatars ... lol

Although one thing about the Mojave setting is that there will be more book keeping in tracking all of the survival necessities and not some pretty HUD to tell us that our H20, Sleep, and Food or Protein stores are in trouble. One good thing about the Mojave and Nevada is there would be a lot of tech for us BOS types to drool over since most of Nevada is set aside for the Military and Government.

Deja Vu, I said this same thing on The Tale of Two Wastelands website.

The Mojave!

Hey guys, if you went back to playing Fallout, check out ENB.

Here is what to expect when you add mods to New Vegas and probably any other game ...

Mod Test

Mods apparent:

1. Vault-HQ1 Nevada
2. XRE Cars (The pickup truck in the car port is driveable - that's how it got there)
3. MRRadioactiv's Weapon Collection - WIP - M40A Pulse Rifle (from Alien 2)

I also do not mind waiting, I'll be around as well, and I like the idea!

Sorry, Spence Arma, been so busy lately. I will update all my posts Monday.

Since I am going through Fallout withdraws, (hint hint hint) I am getting my Fallout New Vegas running again by updating all of mods I am using from the New Vegas Nexus.

Breaker 17 Breaker 17, radio check over.

LOL, I will hope for healthy girl for your family ... :-)

Wife is having some complications in the last couple days of pregnancy sorry for not posting and please don't count me out yet. I will post if I am able. :( again sorry! Dmnpc when needed and if anyone needs him to make diplo or other check feel free to NPC him~

Ooh, no worries, take care of the family first. My daughter was born a month early and had to spend time in the NICU. Now she is 11 years old and the tallest girl in her class. So I know how you feel right now.

Hah, hello, Terry.

Sorry I haven't checked in here, been very busy. I'm still slogging my way through perks, and pretty soon I'm just gonna slap up what I've got thus far and get this mother moving again.

Standby for relaunch ;)

Thanks man, I wanted to ask you sooner but I was patient for as long as I possibly could ... LOL

BoS HQ, come in BoS HQ, requesting status report ... over.

:-)

Happy Papa's Day to whom fit this category!

Arma is still around, see above. In addition, we as players, are posting in another idled game's discussion trying to put life back into it after the GM poofed on us.

Terry nods at Kora and points to the laminated sheet...

Terry is making motions that he is laughing.

Terry looks at Gergg and through his armor's loud speaker, "Gergg, not quite yet, we are still checking this area for tech and etc. The honest truth be told, I wouldn't recommend going ahead especially with your armament."

Roger

When are we planning to start up again Arma?

cool, lol :-)

All rail guns have the same basic principles, a metal object accelerated by some sort of field. Then they are modified accordingly for their mission in destroying the target. The only difference between a Tau railgun and a real life rail gun, is the materials used and perhaps how the projectile is accelerated? Currently, rail guns are only tested on large vehicles. For now, small arms is stuck at the gun powered filled cartridges. Of course, they are testing new things all of the time but nothing has caught on long enough to replace the smokeless gun powder cartridge.

The way Gauss weapons work is that it sends a shaped tungsten spike through an electromagnetic field speeding the metal up to supersonic speeds. The shape and the velocity of the round equals that of an armor piercing round. Of course, the ammunition can be anything that can be accurately accelerated. Since the weapon uses energy cells to power the magnetic field, it is considered an energy weapon. Now the impact and the velocity of the round could cause a type of blast because of the energy behind it similar to what you would see if a meteor hit the earth. The weapon is considered a stealth weapon because there is no muzzle flash and a true muzzle blast.

I think he wanted to spec to cleric and wanted to know how to treat his spells.

Also the gauss pistol in the fallout book comes off as a linear induction weapon no enegry.

However, it was reclassified in New Vegas as an Energy weapon since it uses energy cells, your call.

I disagree, it's still very incomplete regardless of how many books you have. In other words, there are hole, inconsistencies, and breaks in the system such as cybernetic armor being strong than Robot armor when in fact, it should be the other way around (little stuff like that). Now since Rifts has been out for a loooong time, they may have closed those holes since I last played in the 90s. However, regardless of the holes, Palladium games are fun to play. I played Palladium games from the early 80s starting with Teenage Mutant Turtles and Other Strangeness and Robotech, through my stint in the Corps with Ninjas and Superspies, until about the late 90s with Rifts playing a Robot character. After that, it was DnD, Star Wars, and Vampire. Now, it's only Pathfinder, a dash of True20, and MMOs for many reasons.

Maybe Warhammer, not Rifts. Rifts is incomplete but still an enjoyable game to play like most Palladium games. However, True20 will work too.

Personally I like Gestalt because it matches Fallout dynamic character building more. The only other way I can see us achieve this is by using True20 rules.

Here is an example of my (game retired) Zombie Apocalypse True20 character ...

http://pbphouse.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=9hufkfct9apqrgohqu89chsfr7&am p;topic=2811.msg120653#msg120653

BTW, say cheese to the character picture ... ;-)

If we are sticking with Gestalt, I want to keep my Soulnife\Psion. If not , I'll play a full BaB Artificer. And how about using the 3rd party's spell progression using full BaB?

Actually, looking at that, that class is pretty much exactly what I wanted to do with my artificer.

Huh.

I agree, though, it's odd that they have 3/4 BAB... AND only up to 4th level spells. Especially considering every other 3/4 caster class gets 6th level spells.

SO, I hereby decree that the Artificer has the same rate of Weird Science Inventions (which need to be renamed, because I don't like that phrase) per day as Alchemists have extracts per day. Because Artificers are cool, and I don't want them losing out because of dumb limitations.

Keep in mind, though, that reflavored item creation feats (and magic items) may be somewhat clunky to work with. Other than that, though, I see no issues with the class... Just substitute Use Technology, an Int-based skill, for Use Magic Device.

What about BaB, 3/4 or full?

I would either like to play my revamped character.

Or an artificer with good BaB. The PF 3rd party Artificer has mediocre BaB. In addition, allow Artificers to create constructs (robots) starting at the appropriate level with/without pre-reqs or they are met by the class. The reason why I propose a good BaB is because of his limited use in magic (aka Tech) according to the class below regardless if he/she has access to both clerical and arcane spells. Now if the class has access up to 5th level, I can see mediocre BaB. Then poor BaB at 6th level.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/adamant-entertainment/art ificer

In addition, I recommend changing the name from Artificer to ROBCO Technician since ROBCO is basically every where in the Fallout US and Bioshock-type to Mad Scientist.

Sounds good.

GM Arma's absence may be related to school? After all, it is at the end of the year. If we don't hear from him about around June or July, then we will know for sure he will probably not be returning.

BoS Command to GM Arma, come in GM Arma? Come in GM Arma? Request Sitrep from GM Arma? Come in, GM Arma, Over.

Terry stops looking for something, looks around for trouble, then looks at Kora,

Nice, Terry! Dang, so is your power armor all GUI interfaced? Like how the Sentinel's armor looks like in Mass Effect?

Deidre, technically all power armor should have a GUI. I will reveal more later or it will ruin the Role Playing ... :-)

Ok, Terry is pretty much ready for review, just click on him for the latest character sheet. We have to do some further skill clarification as you stated and how to work Kora and my revamp into the storyline.

Enjoy Darius :-)

Terry still seems very busy looking for something with his laminated paper, taking breaks now and then for situational awareness. He doesn't seem to be drawn to any other person's conversations.

Do we want to use these skills and translate them PF?

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Skill

Happy B-day Darius, mine was last Monday. I took a Krav Maga Seminar over the weekend. Then, on Monday opened my presents, and went to a Brazilian BBQ. My parents sent me some money, so I am going to use that to get a concealed carry handgun license.

How are perks going to work, every even level?

For Kora and Darius, I would add Milspeak as one of your free languages. Perhaps, Darius' will be Pre-War Milspeak and the BoS Brothers will have BoS Milspeak? What I mean by Milspeak, is speaking in acronyms and slang that a civilian may not know. For example, "Hey man, the scuttlebutt has it that the new XMPT-4000 has the range of 1000 clicks and can clear a grid square!"

scuttlebutt = rumors

XMPT-4000 = A made up indirect energy cannon.

1 click = 1,000 meters

grid square = On military maps, there is a square. These squares are called grid squares. They are usually equal to 1,000 meters.

If we are keeping Use Computer as one skill, I am adding it as a class skill since it only make sense that it would be in my case.

More things to clarify:

Detect Psionics becomes Detect Technology? As long as I remain Tech Focus (aka Psionic Focused), I can detect anything with a circuit board in the Detect Psionic range at will.

Spellcraft becomes technocraft, the usual roll and results as spellcraft except it is with technology. I can tell what is about to happen even if the signs are not obvious to the untrained eye.

Arma - And what if I place more points into the force screen, increase DR by 1? And is there a max?

PFFO Skill Clarification:

Use Mechanical Device - Kora used CHA for the main attribute, however it should either be INT or DEX (to avoid bloody knuckles). The reason why Use Magic Item is CHA based is because it uses your innate ability to use magic like a Sorcerer or a Dragon. I just feel that Use Computer and Mechanical Device would be INT for both or INT\DEX respectively.

Now for Use Computer - does this cover all the uses of a computer like hacking or just the knowledge on how to turn it on and interact with the GUI\CLI. In the real world and you are not in IT, it is actually two separate skills. In Fallout, as most of you know, it was only 1 skill.

I am now working on the last piece - skills and then I will review for correctness and be ready.

Arma, how do you want to Force Fields (aka Inertia Barrier)?

Kora, how do you want to integrate our stories, please send me a pm?

I am guessing I will done by tomorrow.

I am running behind slightly because of my seminar. I should be able to "painfully" catch up Sunday or Monday. I am still around 60% completed.

I am about 50% or more done. Some of the things are a little more difficult to transfer to Fallout.

Terry, shakes his head at Darius' comments regarding saluting, Terry was not saluting Darius in a professional military manner or not with Marine Corp snap, precision, nor form.

Terry looks at Kora then back to Darius, "Sorry Darius, I am not aware of our Brotherhood organization waking you up from cryogenics. The Brotherhood have factions within the Brotherhood. Mid-Western Brotherhood is the most progressive out of the factions. How about you, Sir? Have your heard our faction waking Darius up?

Darius, I am not sure if you are in the Corps, want to be, or are a former Marine. However, the Marines conducts most of the weapons and research testing at Quantico, Va.
