Dice Rifts Adventure OOC

Also, about how long will it take for DraconianWarrior 's Blake to do his thing? I know he's helping out below decks. =)

 

[Psychie]

The problem with having a melee round be only 15 seconds, when you have a action that takes a while it is a looooong time in combat.

 

[Sherwood]

That is true. Blake will be busy below decks for a bit.

 

[DraconianWarrior]

i excpected as much

 

[Sherwood]

Well, you are doing a good thing getting the ship some extra speed to get away from the attack boats.

 

[DraconianWarrior]

and what about the add M.D.C. ?

 

[Sherwood]

That is a out of combat activity. You'll be able to boost the MDC of the engines, but it will take you several hours of working on them.

 

[Psychie]

I am wondering how much the Automations are tied down? Is the starfire cannon available to be used? I want to have Junior fire it on the dragon.

 

[Sherwood]

The arms are available, but if you have them start walking around on the ship, you may have trouble having that much weight shifting about.

 

[Psychie]

Understood.

 

[Sherwood]

I have also decided to take a page from Pathfinder and have everyone gain a single attribute point with every THREE levels you go. I will add this to the top of the character tab shortly.

This attribute increase can be to any of your scores.

 

[Psychie]

Just to clarify, its at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15?

 

[Sherwood]

Correct.

 

[Dano]

see you all next week when its my turn again... lol

 

[Silanon]

Sherwood How is the crew positioned on deck? All spread out, or is there a chance to give them some decent cover with an energy field? We need 'em to get us to Atlantis...

 

[Sherwood]

They are in two groups, one has three men and the second group has four men in it.

 

[Silanon]

That's slightly inconvenient - I hereby request that Gradicus shouts "Group up, y'all! They won't hit a damn thing anyway!" next time, that'd make my work a bit easier.

Next turn, I'll be at an initiative of 18, right?

 

[Sherwood]

Yes. You can yell for the crew to bunch up, but right now they are about to open fire on the three flying suits. If you bundle them up in a bubble, they can't fire back

 

[Psychie]

Those suits are pretty flimsy compared to the dragon. We can take them out.

 

[Silanon]

I'll probably end up casting a useless spell as my first action because it simply feels right...

Got a question about the rules, Sherwood : In Pathfinder, there's the Ready-action in combat to allow you to prepare a certain action and activate it under certain conditions - is there something similar in Rifts? Couldn't find anything in the rule books I have, but you're certainly more familiar with them. To give you a better idea what I have in mind: I'm considering something like "I'll delay my action until someone is shot - then I'll cast the energy field around them to protect them."

Edit: Or possibly: I'll cast the energy field on myself once I get shot, if you're not a fan of the options the first version would provide.

Edit2: How long does it take to activate parts of my armor and/or the amulet? One activation for free just like with the tattoos, or longer?

Silanon It would be a good idea except, in all fairness, my character has no idea what spells your character can cast or what said spells really do. That hasn't been discussed in-character yet.

But once our characters get to know each other better, that is a different story! =)

In the meantime, there is nothing stopping your character from using the M-160 rifle Gradicus lended her. You saw that, right? if it is better than casting useless spell, I recommend doing that instead.

Finally, while I don't know about your armor, Sherwood did state that activating the Blind Warrior Woman medallion was a free action available once per round. =)

I don't know if there is an actual rule in the system, but I do allow you to delay your action until you are ready.

Also, I'll let you activate a talisman or a TW benefit of your armor as a free action, so you can turn on a defense and cast a spell.

 

[Silanon]

Sherwood Thanks! I'll probably post a bit later on, kind of busy at the moment...

It would be a good idea

I'm not even so sure about that - everyone hunkering down behind one simple barrier asks for those damn fliers to shoot everything they've got - and that thing only has a limited amount of MDC.

You saw that, right? if it is better than casting useless spell, I recommend doing that instead.

Yepp, I saw that - and it'll certainly find its way into my post. I've got quite a few options what I could do, question is what's actually reasonable in-character, especially after Shaona shit her pants because of the dragon.

 

[Sherwood]

Don't forget you are only rattled by the dragon and not the flying suits. You can act as you want, casting spells or attacking as you see fit.

 

[Purr]

Yeah, Gradicus was lucky with his Natural 20 on the dragon's Horror Factor check.

I like how you role-played Shaona when she failed her check. Very believable, especially given the circumstances!
