RADpire [Freaker] [2]: By biting an individual anywhere on his, her, or its body you can drain a point of R.A.D. and add it to your R.A.D. pool. Note that weapons can not be used in this attack.

Fetish [-1]: You have a strong, sexual fetish for some odd thing or another (feet, big ears, Asians, etc.) and have to attempt to satisfy this urge whenever you can. You must pass a TN (Social x 3) Social Test to ignore these urges in any situation that they might spring up. Failure means you go into a compulsive fit, indulging in your particular compulsion for a number of minutes equal to the amount by which you failed the Test. You may shrug off this urge, but doing so causes you to take one Social Wound.

No Depth Perception [-1]: By whatever reason (missing eye, genetic flaw, inability to pay attention...) you have a hard time telling how far away something is. Take a -1 die penalty whenever making a roll that deals with a ranged weapon or high-speed maneuver.

Pirate [-1]: You totally got the wrong idea when shit went down and went "piratey." You may dress like a pirate, talk like one, have a parrot on your shoulder, or something else that is a) hard not to notice and b) decidedly "pirate-like." Whatever it is, you take a -1 die penalty to all social rolls involving non-pirates, and an additional -1 against any "serious wasters." Pirates get a +5 bonus to all soft social rolls against other pirates.

Gullible [-1]: You have a sweet, trusting nature that others just love to take advantage of. Take a -10 penalty to all attempts to detect lying. You're only allowed to take this talent if you can lick your elbow.

Cheeseliker, I didn't see your post, but I saw you posted here
who are you

Antimatter

this is way open to newbies
go ahead and join, we don't bite

Cheeseliker

I'm a lurker and the forum just seemed to be doing strange things a moment ago. Anyways, just wanted to ask if newbies are wanted...Or maybe I'll just stick around and randomly make lime npc's do crazy things...

EDIT: Heh, thanks. I'll make up a character.

So the physAd Huge adds 1 to your physical modifier, is that just a +1 to your rolls, so say you roll 3d6+1? The cost of Huge is Physical x current modifier -2, so if you don't have a physical modifier, say when you're taking Huge for the first time, it doesn't cost anything?

Fire Truck

Gotcha.

DE?AD

It adds a modifier, not a rank, Cheese. Meaning it makes your Physical x2 instead of the base x1. It costs Physical x current modifier (I.E. x1) -2. Minimum 1 point.

Also, we already got two huge guys.

Tommy2Hands

Alright, I'm thinking my guy is going to be one smooth-talking sonofabitch. Will have it up tomorrow.

Edit: I wrote that not realizing 'Smooth son of a bitch' is actually a socAd. Awesome.

Tommy2Hands

Hey Dead

I know I already asked this in the last thread, but does the Kid Od mean Jimothy's physical is 2, and he just takes a minus 1 to my rolls, or is it a blanket physical-1, making his physical 1

I'm on my iPod right now, so it's a pain in the ass to check the wiki

Tommy2Hands

Also someone else vote for Hail to the Watch damnit

DE?AD

Both scarlet and I totally answered that - it is -1 Rank from your Physical.

Doobh

Whooooooa Man [2]: Requires less than a 2 in your physical aspect (count fraction modifiers for ads/ods like Tiny). Make a hard social against any opponent who attempts to attack you (by widening your eyes to super adorable levels, changing your Rs to Ws, etc.). Success means your opponent just can't do it, and forces him to make another action. If your character is being an obvious threat, this protection will not work- even enraging villains enough to "get that little snot-nosed squirt."

Purple Haze [6]: Any sort of mental; contact with you is... damaging to another's psyche. Any psycher attempting to connect to your mind must roll two Base 6's or suffer (Mental) points worth of Mental Ods for (Mental x 10) minutes.

Firetruck: Followers are things you're just going to have to earn in-game.

Okay so I was trying to figure out the syntax when Dubh said [w][+1][b 5+5+] and all that nonsense shit.

The rule says [W]: Weapons are items designed, largely, to inflict pain and discomfort on another living being. Weapons deal additional damage upon Activation. A weapons bonus damage is listed as a modifier or a multiplier, such as [+1] or [x2].

so I dig the [+1] thing, but what does [B: 5+ 5+] mean? You ahve to roll at least two dice base 5 or higher?

Doobh

yes, Scarlet

scarlet st.

And that means the weapon hits? or what?

Doobh

It means the weapon does extra damage and uses a charge

I think it may have to do with the R.A.D. effect after the crash

things will sometimes work really really well, but it damages the item in the process

eventually, every bit of technology will wreck

Physical [3]

PhysAds:

Improvised Weaponeer [3]: Anything that can be put into your hands (that can be reasonably used as a weapon) can be used as a deadly weapon. Any reasonable item can be used as a [W][+1][B: 5+, 5+], a [W][+2][B: 6, 6]. If any die rolls a base 1, the weapon breaks after the attack (successful or not).

MentAds:

Master Plan [1]: Your tactical mind allows you to lead from the rear. When Aiding with a Mental roll, you may add 5s or 6s to your ally's roll.

MentOds:

Illiterate [-1]: You cannot read. It is a tragedy.


I was a broken man, my home and family had been taken from me when your decadent society fell.

Then, as I wandered the harsh steppe of central Nevada, I stumbled upon the Black Box, and the flat snakes inside it related to me THE PROPHECY!

I will unite you unworthy peasants, and we will conquer all who oppose us with our strength and cunning, the only treasures left in this ruined world! Then the booze will flow like water!

I might have to take that ad, Locth

it's probably a -1 because it's super specific, though

Yeah that's better as a 1 pt Ad because it also has some consequences.

I think DE?AD's working on something along the same lines, right now.
