Dice Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure - OOC

[D. Rex]

Yup. I already added that, got all my skills leveled up. And the new stats calculated up so far. Just got that skill.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

I forgot the HP damnit!

 

[D. Rex]

Going to get W.P Heavy M.D. weapons for the extra +1 strike for the tank cannons.

 

[Rykon]

Y'know, I've had the skill this whole time and it's never occurred to me that I should be applying it to the Spartas' guns.

 

[D. Rex]

Lol I just noticed I dont get the strike bonus till level 2. Oh well! At least it will help the aim and burst.

That's okay, Rykon. I've been in that constant state.

Alan had been tapping away at his phone as he spoke and sent out the message as soon as he finished. "I'm feelin lucky. Y'all up for cards and drinks tonight?"

Too late to back out now. Alan hit Send. =)

 

[Purr]

Given that this is all text-based, I ought to clarify that remark. I don't mind what we do; I just wanted to make that joke about what happens after you hit the Send button. =)

Psychie When it comes to combat, will your game be entirely mecha-oriented? Or will having Automatic Dodge outside of the mech ever come up?

 

[D. Rex]

It would be pretty fun to use the smaller veritechs like cyclones. Marlon would like a silverback. Those look fun.

It hasn't ever come up yet, but I'm not against the idea of HtH combat.

The Cyclone and Silverback have not been invented yet. They are only developed for the UEEF forces.

Lol oh yeah.

Psychie I chose Hand to Hand: Commando thinking we would be (I was thinking of Gabi doing recon outside of her mech on a regular basis; I should have thought to ask). Now I haz buyer's remorse. Now that I know how the game is going to go, I would have chosen her skills differently if I had known. Not her M.O.S.s, but her "Other", Secondary, and level skills.

Is there some way I could fine tune Gabi to the way I want her? I'll go on side-quests with just her if that's what it takes. Oh, and would you let me know how many hit points she comes by for 6th level (thanks for the large amounts of xp!), please?

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Can I ask what Weapon Development is currently on my character's level?

 

[Purr]

There is a link to the Master Skill List at the top of the Character Thread, but some skills will not apply to this setting. If you have the Shadow Chronicles book, that is the one to go with. Any skill in the book you wish to add on is fair game from there.

Psychie Do you mean any skill or "any skill our characters qualify for"? I'm asking because why choose First Aid or Paramedic if one can just get a Medical Doctor degree virtually instantly (That doesn't make any sense to me)?

Also, allow me to retract my request for skill changes. My character is terrific as she is and I don't want to open up a big can of confusion just for my character. The issues are minor and I'm having a great time in game. So why make things more complicated?

 

[Psychie]

Sorry that I haven't posted in response to your questions, Purr . I had a really bad fight with my boyfriend and it has thrown me for a loop, and I'm just getting my head put back together. Just tying to get caught up now.

I'm sorry to hear that. While there isn't much I can say or offer, I truly hope that things work themselves out.

I would say that you should try to pick out a skill progression that makes sense. If you want to pick up Medical Doctor eventually, that's great! But I would build up to it with some Paramedic training first, or Field Surgery. Does that help?

 

[Psychie]

Purr did I ever give you your hit point roll for 6th level yet? I don't remember!

I don't see one posted, so I'm guessing not. Here ya go:

4 Hit Points!

 

[Purr]

That's great! Thank you for rolling for me, Psychie!

May Gabi select the Combat Flying skill from the Robotech: Macross Saga Sourcebook, please?

 

[Psychie]

Yes. It adds a +2 to your dodge in flight, I believe.

 

[Purr]

Oh, to be true, it does a bit more than that. I think it also gives a +3 to roll during a crash and half penalties on stunt-related aerobatics. It's also only for the military civilians have their own version of the skill).

I don't have the book in front of me. I'd have to look it up.

 

[Psychie]

Lots of good stuff to it.

 

[Psychie]

Just to check, has everyone managed to get their characters leveled up ok? Skill selected, hit points rolled, percentages increased?

 

[Rykon]

Thanks for the reminder, forgot to fill Spelunking back in. I'm pretty sure I got everything updated now.

 

[Purr]

Almost! I just have to add the Combat Flying details to her character sheet.

A reminder - At 6th level, Mecha Elite Combat Training (MECT) for Spartas and Ajax pliots adds another attack per round while piloting the veritech. =)
