    Goddamn he rolls good. Like... this is probablistically impossible. Somewhere in the universe this has balanced by having three adjacent stars all go supernova at once. Ugh... -1 penalty to Toughness rolls.

    Okay... for the second attack.

    Geth roll 1d20+7 DC30 Toughness

    Edit: Okay.. so -2 Toughness and Staggered.

    DC30 Toughness:
    1d20+7 21 [1d20=14]

    Oh I see. I misunderstood what you had going on there. Please clearly label your rolls in the future.

    Nah, I'll scrap that post and rewrite it later.

    Like... why did you spend that Hero Point anyway?

    27-13=14/4=3.5 which is a KO, I think. Yeah, that's in the fourth degree.

    Sigh. I was so happy about my three stage fight, too.

    you need to fail the save by 15+ to reach the fourth degree

  • Options
    Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    0-4: 1st degree failure
    5-9: 2nd degree failure

    15+: 4th degree failure

    @spacecaptaindickjustice If you want to can make a Technology roll to identify some stuff about this robot.

    Yeah that sounds like a good thing to do. I think I'll take a routine Technology check of 28 using my skill mastery Technology if I can?

    Certainly. I'll post the data you gathered as soon as I have at least one post from everyone after the fight.

    Still about.

    It was hard deciding on what I should do with that, I don't want to be antisocial but cameras make Karrin nervous. As does the idea of having her face splashed across the front page.

    Let's see if we can refocus the action, shall we. I'll do a proper media scene later when it feels less scattered.

    I am still writing so please refrain from posting just yet.

    Question: Gleep has Senses(Touch): Acute, Analytical, Tracking.

    When I bought the power, I visualized it as Gleep having an exceptional sense of taste and since his entire 'body' is effectively his mouth, it's also his sense of touch.

    Which leads to my question, is it possible to use that power to track/trace the explosives or the robots Undermensch has used? If I need a sample of the material, well, it's pretty likely Undermensch has a trace of the explosives on his clothes/skin. If I need to roll, what skill/ability would be the best to roll with?

    Sure. Sounds like an Awareness / Perception check to me.

    I can just see it now. I get a streak of 20s on DC10 checks. Everything else...not so much.

    Haha well that was a terrible roll. Did I do the tracking roll right, as in is it just a straight d20 or do I get any pluses? Not that it matters now, but for future reference.

    EDIT: And also did I learn anything from scanning Undermensches tech?

    spacecaptaindickjustice on
  • Options
    Mikey CTSMikey CTS Registered User regular
    @spacecaptaindickjustice Yes, there are a few key things you learned.

    Most important is that the Undermensch's tech runs off a unique power signature. Very advanced stuff, especially when you consider the source. In fact, you're fairly certain that while Undermensch built the devices the power source was almost certainly provided by a third party. Who you can't say for sure, though if you could examine the power cells in a laboratory you might learn more. It is almost certain not human tech - that is to say, it was developed by a non-human civilization or at least is sufficiently advanced to appear as to have a non-human source.

    Also, because the power signature is unique, you may be able to construct a device to track similiar signatures.


    You should add your Awareness. Any perception/detection-related tasks - smelling, tracking, spotting, empathy, searching, etc. - are going to run off your Awareness.

    Heh, I guess he just got distracted by the smell of space tacos. It's okay, those tacos are out of this world.

  • Options
    Mikey CTSMikey CTS Registered User regular
    @destroyah87 There are a variety of "tastes" you pick up - sewage, decay, filthy, bodily odors, and one distinct taste hidden beneath - almost like the taste of putting a battery on your tongue but without the electric jolt.

    OK so I'm thinking that I'll jury rig a device at a cost of a hero point. If I take rank 2 tracking (exotic energy signature) then it gets constructed in 2 rounds (a few seconds) and I roll my technology skill against a DC17 to build it. It will allow me to track the locations of any matching energy signatures at full speed for one scene. I've never done this part of the game before, is that right?

  • Options
    Mikey CTSMikey CTS Registered User regular
    Yeah basically. This is actually a task you can take a routine check on, I believe.

    Nah when you're jury rigging you can't take routine checks. Oh well, lets do some inventing. Are we still going in turn order or just posting as and when?

    That's what I'm doing. Since work is generally pretty slow around the holidays. I've got good amounts of time to post/browse at work.
