Jim decided to be related to the RT?
A bit more through-and-through Imperial than Rogue Trader, what?
The Talon Mark III Short Autopistol can explicitly have an extended 30-round clip. Which weighs the same as the normal 18 round clip.
Magic!
Speaking of Magic, I fixed the link to 'The Story So Far...'.
I didn't realise it was broken. Well spotted
Apparently, the Acquisition system shouldn't be a stumbling block to players who want some simple personal equipment, and the book says that therefore characters can acquire any items that are of Average availability and Common craftsmanship without a test.
Josh, how does this affect your house rule of our only being allowed to make one Acquisition per ten points of Profit Factor?
Seems relatively obvious - you're not making a test for the easy to find stuff so it doesn't count. You don't //have// to exercise your influence, contacts and store of good will at a location to be able to find these things - you just pick them up at a store.
Basically it's saying you'll never run out of stub ammo and food. Or frag grenades. You know, the vital stuff.
It's not really about consumables - those are already explicitly in unlimited supply once acquired.
Glad to hear it though.
Hey everyone, free stuff! Form a line.
I'll have to make a list expansion...
I just thought - seems to me that it shouldn't have been Tech-Use to resolve the anomalous power readings on the internal sensors: it should have been Scrutiny, since that's the skill you use when using the ship's auspexes to resolve detail.
I set it as Tech-Use because that's what you use to tune a normal auspex. Remember these sensors were skittish, jammed and, in those locations, still mostly broken.
Yes, so you'd need to be able to divine what their readout was telling you, through careful scrutiny.
Look, I suggest it because that's what the book says to use for ship sensor scanning data. Personally I'd be more inclined to go with what the book says for the ship augur arrays than for a hand-held scanner.
He's got blademaster? Where did he get that?
In the Imperial Guard. Translation: a wizard did it. Real reason: It gives him a chance to hit with his 40 WS without having a skill level that overshadows the specialist PCs. Also, he has no Fate Points.
He *is* bad-ass. If he survives, he can be a recurring NPC.
Fair enough
I mean, if you think it's too much I'll take it off him; no skin off my nose.
I don't have a problem with giving him some flavour, but blademaster in particular is a talent that could very well have him overshadowing several of the *ahem* less martially inclined party members. I mean, I don't remember ever hitting with my boltgun, and I'm supposed to be awesome.
Although thinking about it, if he's meant to be the senior priest on board ship then I would expect him to be more awesome than me, I had previously been thinking that he was a random priest we grabbed
My impression was that he was a priest that had been specifically if quickly picked. Certainly not supposed to be representative of every priest; either by design or chance, he'd certainly be one of the better examples of clerics you could have chosen.
Blademaster is the Talent that allows one attack reroll per turn with a bladed weapon; given WS 40 and SB 3, not sure its addition makes him that much better than you with your BS 45 (?) and Boltgun.
Just added categories to the pages. Been editing and thing... I'll try and keep a better eye on the wiki from now on :S
LIES
Well, we're one day away from the next session and it doesn't look like Josh has lived up to his promise! Jasmine, how did you know?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
There were 66 messages on the House Rules page, it was becoming too annoying to navigate, so I went through and deleted all the ones that were no longer relevant.
EDIT: Though apparently, you can delete other users' messages and when you do, it shows them as having deleted them themselves rather than you having done it.
