RPG Superstar 2011 Top 32

No, I don't think CON bonus to hit points is retroactive. Quote something from the SRD if you think I'm wrong. I'm not a rules lawyer so if I do something blatantly stupid, it's ok to call me an idiot as long as you have a quote from the SRD to back you up.
I'm just going by the fact that, for example, you chug a potion of Bear's Endurance, your HP increases 2 for every level you have, or any other instance where your CON score temporarily increases.

Constitution represents your character’s health and stamina. A Constitution bonus increases a character’s hit points, so the ability is important for all classes.You apply your character’s Constitution modifier to:
Each roll of a Hit Die (though a penalty can never drop a result below 1—that is, a character always gains at least 1 hit point each time he or she advances in level).
Fortitude saving throws, for resisting poison and similar threats.
Concentration checks. Concentration is a skill, important to spellcasters, that has Constitution as its key ability.
If a character’s Constitution score changes enough to alter his or her Constitution modifier, the character’s hit points also increase or decrease accordingly.
Emphasis added by me.
Sorry I didn't post, internet was out.
Is this OK?
This is what I have so far.
I'll make mine tonight after work. Can you view PDF's Vissigoth? I use the character sheet off of Pen, Paper, and Pixel.
Busy at work, will post character this weekend.
I forgot to ask: are we rolling for HP?
I did.
Here I am! How's this look?
V,
Questions:
The bonus on the initiative implant is 2, right?
I get the DR, but how does the HP bonus with fortified skeleton work?
Is cyber network like neural network link(I'm not finding it in the MSRD future)?
Do humans get a skill bonus as in the SRD?
|

Kruelaid, Initiative Implant gives you +2 to Init, Fortified Skeleton gives you DR 4/-, but no bonus hp. The "Hardness/Hit Points" entry in the SRD is refering to the hitpoints of the implant itself. The cyber network is an implant I made up. It allows you to opperate equipment that requiers a cybernetic interface (like Mijolnir armor). The human skill bonus is already built into the d20 Modern system. The game assumes that you will play a human.
Yes, we are rolling for hp.
I can view PDFs.
Since this is a playtest, I would like everyone to break down the bonuses and modifiers on their stats page. And please try to clarify the text in the stat block. Use bold text and spacing to differentiate the different sections of the stat block.
Otherwise, everybodies characters look good. I haven't had time to take a detailed look at them but will do so later.
The tenative start date is set for Friday, Sep. 28.
Reporting for duty.
This may be the best bio I ever wrote:
Ha 442, inaptly named, has never laughed and smiled only twice: first during a catastrophic latrine failure and later when the drill sergeant unfortuitously discovered his toothpaste had been sabotaged with vacu-seal--both mysteries which could only have been solved had her superiors known the secret of her smile. General agreement holds that nobody wants to see her laugh.
Slight, with elfin eyes complements of her Irish-Vietnamese progenitors, her cuteness is belied by the social skills of a plasma shear. Ha, after all, grew up interacting almost exclusively with machines and computers. Long winded dissertations on the infirmities of the human mind and the complexities of technical work have trained fellow Spartans to ask her only yes and no questions. The upshot of her being a font of techno-babble is that it is consequent to her awesome technical expertise.
Other than a hacking reprimand attracted by an uncharacteristic moment of inattention--incurred while enjoying her favorite past-time--Ha has a shining record.
Unarmed, unarmored. Awaiting logistics. And hey, do I get a deck?
There are 5 players, V's first post said he wanted 6.
I reckon he'd be pleased to have you, I'm sure he'll pop in soon.
Kruelaid: Ha 442 Smart
Aramil: Dan 623 Strong
Sect: Ashley 310 Dedicated/Medic
Lord Hyrax: Dean 213 Fast
Kadrenis: Ginny 813 Tough
Looks like we need a Charismatic Hero, namely a squad leader.
It's what, a couple of weeks until Halo 3 comes out?
Maybe I'll send my wife to pick it up for me.
Who's gonna watch the baby?
And my second question: you have time for computer gaming?
All built and raring to go
clicky the facey!
just a quick question: do the Action Points roll over to the next lvl or do they "refresh". IE, do you have 5+1/2 lvl every lvl, or do you gain an additional x# every lvl?

(any suggestions/changes just shoot em on over)

I just added em all up. Just waitin for V to take them away.
I make sure he checks the post and answer your question when he gets home, but he doesn't get home from work til early in the morning. So in the morning you should have your answers.

Action points do not roll over. If you don't use them, you loose them. If the last level you took was an advanced class, you should have 8 action points. If you took all four levels as a base class, you should have 7 action points.
The Warthog (jeep) and the Mongoose (atv) do not need SVO.
The APC version of the 'Hog is a heavy-wheeled vehicle, and the Scorpion (tank) is a tracked vehicle. But I don't think these will be used very much. I wouldn't take the SVO feat.
The Hornet is a helecopter gunship and requiers Aircraft Opperation (helecopters). The Pelican is a troop transport dropship and requires Aircraft Opperation (spacecraft). ACO (spacecraft) would be a good choice, but I don't think the helecopters will be used much.
As for equipment, I'll post some info soon.
And I was just kidding about sending my wife to pick up my game for me. I wouldn't want her to be out by herself at midnight.
My character... is not a people person. An introvert, if you will. He can't fail in surgery, unless he doesn't have a kit. Even then, he'll have to roll a four or below. Also, he hears and sees you. No arguing. He's fairly decent in other things that he does. Oh, and he can fly spaceships, the Pelican, in particular. Combat... eh.
A brief background:
Jacob is garrolous, friendly, and incredibly devious. A scrounger and rules-bender extraordinaire, if there's someone in between what he wants, he'll go through, around, over, under, or sideways to get it.
He works best when he has some solid backup around, as he's not the most physical or even the best combatant, but he's a solid, all-around guy, who oozes confidence in the worst of situations.
His mouth has gotten him into (and out of) more trouble than he cares to admit, but it has not slowed him down any.
At this point, he's looking forward to any and all challenges to come his way, and while he doesn't quite think he's invulnerable (impossible when you train with other Spartans who are faster, stronger, and smarter than you), he definetly walks a fine line of bravery and bravado.
Someone's gonna be playing Halo 3...
Hey psi-hamster, so you think you could maybe e-mail me a copy of your groups halo stats. thinking of starting up a game here at home soon, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
my e-mail is satanathanasifattouh@yahoo.com
thanks
I wonder if Vissigoth is still good to go on this pbp?
|
absolutely, Wolf-man.
have to do some finalization of the rules/whatnot...
also have to enter in some of my game stats...
should be able to piece everything together to something readable within a few days
(didn't actually run the latest version...played it through as my conjurer, and my personal notes are all on 3x5 index cards)
hope everyone has MS Excel or Openoffice.org Calc....cuz thats what the stat-files will be in
-hamster
Glad to see you are ok!
