Mission Reports

[Captain Hesperus]

Most of the skills are percentage-based, so you roll a 100 sided die and aim to score under the score listed on your character sheet.

Perception rolls are a d20, but to m mange a skill check it is the d100. You need to roll under your skill percentage in order to succeed.

 

[Platipoo]

Thanks. What about the perception rolls? How do you interpret the result of the d20 roll?

 

[Sherwood]

I have always used a 'lower is better' system from my days gaming using the Hero System. You will need to roll less than or equal to the target number that I assign, and any bonuses you get for Perception will adjust your roll by lowering the number you just rolled. Kinda ass-backwards, but there is no real rules that I know of for rolls like this in the Palladium system, so I use what I know.

 

[SephirothSage]

.. Shit. Sorry about that- uh... I may actually want to drop out of this one. My apologies- I just.. have a lot of things to focus on right now.

 

[Sherwood]

That's understandable. We will always have a spot open for you if things change and you decide to come back.

 

[Sherwood]

Here is a bit of surprising info. After doing some more reading of the main rule book, I have found that Armor Piercing missiles do triple damage on a critical strike, not double like a regular crit. I'll update the missile chart with this.

 

[hellrazoromega]

Oh, Theo does not like where this is going.


As a player however, I am loving it.


Sorry I winked out for a bit I have been binge watching past episodes of Critical Role which I only just discovered--it is amazing!!!

 

[Platipoo]

Sorry I won't be around until after work today, something suddenly came up.

 

[Platipoo]

Whoops I thought the first round had started, sorry.

 

[Sherwood]

Hey @Xylin, don't procrastinate posting! Innocent lives are counting on you!

 

[ehmygirl]

I posted!!! I did, I really did!

 

[Sherwood]

To the other game, not this one.

 

[Sherwood]

That was with Smurfette, this one is for Cat

 

[ehmygirl]

well... dang it. I did anyway. Just now.

 

[Sherwood]

No worries. You do have a couple of bugs firing their weapons at you, so you'll need to make a dodge roll.

 

[ehmygirl]

sigh...now I need to figure out my dodge.

 

[ehmygirl]

But I might do it tomorrow, I'm getting tired.

 

[Sherwood]

lol. That's allowed. (^.^) Sleep well.

 

[ehmygirl]

cheers

 

[Captain Hesperus]

All of a sudden I am reminded of a certain other REF mission to an alternate Mars that was bug-infested....

[Sherwood]

Anyone want to post before I move the story forward?

 

[Sherwood]

Its been a little bit since we've had any activity. I'll put up a new thread, probably in the next day.

 

[Sherwood]

I am pondering a time jump coming up to get this game set in the midst of the Invid occupation of the planet. Any complaints or concerns about that?

 

[ehmygirl]

no complaints on my end
