Sand and Delver MechaChanics Question

Three questions:

1. Can I SAD-ify someone who is currently fighting, say, ogres?

2. What happens if ogres attack someone who is currently dealing with an SAD screen?

3. Did you know "whelm" is actually a pretty badass word? It means "engulf, submerge, or bury". It can also be a noun basically synonymous with "surge". As such, I move that we name the strategy of using multiple knockbacks to scatter, disorient, and ultimately pulverize an enemy player or force the "Ogre Whelm".


Alternatively, we can use that name for a weapon, a formation, or...hey, Paizo, I just got a great idea for the next escalation cycle!

I am SO glad you are back. Zero sarcasm, this place has been a lot less fun in your absence.


I never really left. I'm literally Dumbledore.

I just have trouble paying attention to this subforum when I'm in Chile and trying to do...oh, right, I have to work on that presentation about the Mapuche. BRB. I'll just leave y'all with this:

Stunning Irruption (Combat)

When you smash your way into a room, you gain more than just the element of surprise.

Prerequisites: Str 15, Power Attack, base attack bonus +5.

Benefit: Before starting combat, you can attempt to break through a door, window, or wall to enter a room. If you succeed, the violence of your arrival is so great that all characters within 20 feet of your entry point must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw (DC = 10 + your base attack bonus) or be stunned instead of acting in the surprise round (if there is one) plus 1 round thereafter. Characters who succeed at this save are instead shaken for 1d4 rounds.

BTW, mecha are found in the next Kingdom north; please keep them there. Thanks.

I for one look forward to playing a chainsaw-wielding warpriest of Friend Computer.

What Stand and Deliver mechanics?


Hey, before this newfangled "Early Enrollment" started, we had a better system for working out how stuff works than all these damn charts.

We called it "random guessing", and we liked it that way!

Dang Xeens got no respec these dayz.

That information is above your security clearance. Please report to nearest termination booth. Thank you and have a nice day!

This is what happens when I give KC a can of worms...he opens them...

On a side note, I don't think we know anything, anything at all about anything to do with anything when it comes to PvP.

P.S. Side Note - I need some sleep, or at least to chug a galleon of espresso.

so, burying someone under something (such as the ground) is literally underwhelming?

Using 'sand', 'delver' and 'underwhelming' in the same sentence just became even easier.

Sometimes, I love typos.

Goblin Squad Member

Hey now, how did you know that isn't exactly what I meant? A Galleon can hold a lot of gallons!

The average 17th Century Galleon could hold 15877.35 Galleons of Espresso, or 1,016,150.4 mg of Caffeine!

lol What I love about this is that you obviously did the math behind the numbers- no guess work here!

Goblin Squad Member

7/10 statistics are made up on the spot, though...

...oh, and this *totally* is one of the 3 that are legit....

The title of this thread keeps making me think of a song that shows my age:

I doubt anything in the world could hold 15877 galleons laden with coffee, if only because there were not that many galleons in the 17th century!

Assuming you meant US gallons, that seems to be about 60m^3 cargo hold and 60 tons of espresso only.

A Galleon like the Padre Eterno was 53m long with a displacement weight of 2000 tons. Ok, so that is the biggest one ever and maybe not your "average galleon". But I still think any serious coffe maniac would chuck out the cannons, water, and food to make room for much more than 60m^3 of espresso!

The ceffeine/espresso ratio seems spot on for the americas, but a recent australian study on espresso caffeine shows that their espresso has lots more caffeine than US espresso. Taking their average number of 2500mg/l would mean 1.5 tons of caffeine per 60m^3 cargo hold.

Next, let's consider a supertanker. Here we.. oh, oops, time to go home from work now.

You win!!

Your prize is (rolls d20)...a frag grenade. Since you are not authorized to remove the pin, that has already been done for you. Have a nice day!

(it was actually one of the first rpgs i played. The GM never explained any rules, just told me stuff like "melee is kinda weak so i'll give you a nuclear warhead grenade too. That's probably the highest damage personal weapon in the whole game". Good, crazy times!)

One started with six clones of one's character, and it was not uncommon to use up all of them in one session :-).

Fantastic game, Paranoia. If the environment, the NPCs, the experimental equipment and the helpful intervention of Friend Computer aren't killing enough clones, the rampant party backstabbing can usually be counted on to keep the fresh clones coming.

One of my favorite moments as a Paranoia GM: The players needed an item, and they found it glued to the floor in a corridor. One player approached a terminal, and informed the ever-helpful Computer that concentrated solvent was needed in Corridor R-324-5768. The other players began groaning, and I began grinning, as soon as those words left his mouth.

A voice came over the intercom, saying "Blast doors closing. Please stand clear." The blast doors, of course, slammed shut while the announcement was still playing. The players heard a loud gurgle from above, a hatch opened in the ceiling, hundreds of gallons of acid were delivered to the corridor, and I announced that it was time to activate the next batch of clones.

Death can be pretty funny when it isn't permanent.

You usually used up your clones before you even left r and d. Got to love all those untested weapons.

In Alpha Complex, R&D stands for Research and Design. Development is what Troubleshooters are for. When they bring a weapon back from a mission, they're alive, and the weapon is still in one piece, then it's ready for production.

Not sure why you would bother with SAD when anyone in a crafting or AH window has no visual queue you are attacking them though sound is a give away.

Just sneak around town and kill the crafters :D

I killed my teammate once. His clone pod landed on me. :)
