Mission 2 Chatter

[aramis]

Who's on for mission 2?

[apn]

I am - hopefully get a report (of sorts) done tonight. Should be easing up with time over next few days. One of the kids was off sick from school which means no free time... Just seems to be one pile of crap thrown at me after another, but I know I'm not the only one with troubles, so apologies for being slack.

[Drohem]

Reporting for duty, Sir!

[aramis]

The report doesnt need to be brilliant... it's a chance for me to see what stuck with you about the mission. Mission start monday.

[MaGnUs]

Hey all, I'm on for some classic Trek. Let's see how my rolls go:

MKS [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
INT [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
TEC [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
CNT [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]

CHA [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
STR [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
LOY [dice=6]
PSI [dice=6][rand=42541484920260427579116950416558221520676236659057574500203473323]

[MaGnUs]

So... that's

MKS 9
INT 8
TEC 14
CNT 5
CHA 8
STR 11
LOY 5
PSI 6

How's it look?

[apn]

Some kind of technician? Don't worry about too low scores. My character (Grayson) is a slack jawed inbreed half wit, and he managed to survive the 1st mission.

[MaGnUs]

I'm not used to playing dumb characters; I wanted to play a pilot... the LOY score is what worries me. What am I, Benedict Arnold?

[aramis]

Magnus: the racial mods will make up for the 1d6 base in loyalty. WAY more than make up for it.

Remember: you may swap one pair of stats. Or reroll one stat, keeping higher.


Three routes for shipdrivers: general military, Navigator or Command.

Need requisites as follows:
Military: MKS 9+
Command: MKS 9+ INT 12+ CHA 12+
Navigator: Tec 9+ INT 12+ CNT 12+


Loyalty is hardly ever used for PC's except to resist torture, temptations, etc.

Basic choices:
Races
Human: You probably is one.
Tauran: Not-quite-vulcan logic-driven
Andromedan: Blue furry emotional psionicists. 3 genders.
Rigel: Strong, tough, tend to violence

Note: gender important for all but andromedans stat-wise.

[rs=2] Stat	[cs=2] Human	[cs=2] Tauran	[cs=3] Andromedan	[cs=2] Rigel
M	F	M	F	M	F	O	M	F
MKS	[cs=2] ±0	[cs=2] ±0	[cs=3] -2	[cs=2] +2
INT	[cs=2] ±0	[cs=2] +1	[cs=3] +1	[cs=2] ±0
TEC	[cs=2] ±0	[cs=2] +1	[cs=3] -2	[cs=2] -1
CNT	±0	+1	[cs=2] ±0	[cs=3] +2	[cs=2] -1
CHA	±0	+1	[cs=2] -2	[cs=3] +2	[cs=2] ±0
STR	±0	-2	[cs=2] +2	[cs=3] -2	[cs=2] +2
LOY	[cs=2] +10	[cs=2] +7	[cs=3] +8	[cs=2] +4
PSI	±0	+3	+4	+7	[cs=3] +12	-3	±0

Classes

Branch	Subclass	Requisites
[rs=4]Military		MKS
Command	MKS, INT, CHA
Security Guard	MKS, STR, LOY
Fire Control	MKS, TEC, CNT
[rs=4]Sciences		INT
Alien Life	INT, CNT
Medical	INT, TEC, Empathy (PSI3+)
Planetology	INT, STR	House Rule
[rs=4]Technical		TEC
Communications	TEC, CNT, CHA
Navigation	TEC, INT, CNT
Engineering	TEC, INT

[aramis]

One other thing: Ship driving is on int.

The Stats:
MKS: Marksmanship
INT: Intelligence
TEC: Technical
CNT: Contact - ability to use Computers, sensors, communicators
CHA: Ability to influence others
STR: Strength and Stamina; also HP.
LOY: Loyalty - For PC's, used to resist things. For NPC's their LOY + (1/2 or 1/3, by race, Your CHA) or less on d20 to obey a direct order; penalties for out of field, puts them in danger, doesn't make sense, etc.
PSI: higher is better.

Oh, and if you swap PSI or LOY out, you swap it with any one die of your choice.

It looks, tho, if you want to be a ship driver, you're going to be general military.

Hello and welcome aboard, magnus!

[MaGnUs]

Thanks for the welcome... I've acquired the book and I'll give it a look as soon as possible.

You mean then I could swap my 6 PSI die for my INT die where I got a 2, and bump me up to a 12 intelligence? And exchange my LOY 5 for the 1 die in CNT?

I'd still be a military pilot who is actually better at fixing stuff.

[aramis]

Go for it.

[MaGnUs]

Will do, when I get a moment, I'll pull up the book and build the character. How does an Irish pilot sound?

[Drohem]

Cool.

It sounds like you and Mr. O'Keef should get along famously.
