Ship's mess (OOC) [The Pirates of Penn'Zannce]

...Oh, another question I should probably ask before we get started.


Does Craft: Magitech have any use for making things other than artifacts? If not, I should probably use the points for something else, even though it makes a bit of sense...


EDIT: Darn it, I just saw the requirements on the wiki. This is going to take a bit of reworking...
 
Mmm, ya Magitech Craft requires those pesky 2 dots in Fire and Air xD


I'm not entire sure what magitech all covers. (It think it might help in the repair department of some things as well as craft such items.)
 
I moved the two dots over to Awareness and Archery, though I kept Esoteric Craft so that I can pick it up later.
 
Actually, after reading the OC, it seems Craft (Magitech) isn't used for all artifacts, only those that require such advanced knowledge, like warstriders, and other vehicles. Most weapons, armor, and such, require other Crafts to manufacture. But Magitech is always used for repair and maitainance.
 
For now, I'm going to rule that anything listed in Chapters 2&5 of WotLA needs Craft (Magitech) to make, as do Warstriders and anything classed as Power Armour.
 
Seems like a fair ruling.


Though, note that you also need high Lore to design and build artifacts, and specialties do not count towards the number of dots. You need at least 3 in Lore to create an artifact 1-3.
 
I had been waiting for Jukashi to post a character, but as ze hasn't yet, I'm going to start it now.


EDIT: Or I would, if I could get the damn new topic to post. :x

Unless I missed something, he doesn't seem to be in the group, so he can't post in this forum...


...Unless you were waiting for him to post a concept before you added him, in which case, should I send him a message about it?


Also, sorry about being away. I should be able to post tonight, and hopefully I'll be able to get myself to work a little harder on all these characters I need to finish... I just have trouble getting myself to focus on getting things done.
 
If you haven't already, you may want to PM him or post a message in the topic, just to make sure he knows you're waiting for a character.... It's possible that he was under the impression that he was too late.
 
Hooray! Thanks for letting me in.


Well, my idea... I have a couple. Both are essentially thieves who have moved into piracy for one reason or another.


One, a southern princess of a small but wealthy aristocratic country (my thought: they have a manse that provides limitless drinkable water, and trade it to other desert nations) who ran away from her arranged marriage (with some crown jewels and minor artifacts in hand) to live a live of adventure and gambling on the sea. Possibly uses her charming manner and appearance to persuade/trick new crewmen into joining the group?


Second, a street performer/con/thief who jumped on ship to escape the law. As well as the police officials however, she's also on the run from her own Destiny, which is to become a holy woman; she would know a good bit of the art of exorcism, and have a compassionate streak that forces her to help people against the supernatural. Possibly using a bit of Luck and Bad Luck as well, to represent fate's nudges.


Both may take a bit of sheet-wrangling, so I don't know which would be easier to make, but currently I lean towards the second.
 
Both concepts sound interesting to me, though I don't know which would be easier to make... the first sounds somewhat simpler, but you would know better than me.
 
Ok, I'll go for the second.


Looking at the original thread, I assume it's still the same: character creation is as per Scroll of Heroes, but 8/6/4 Attributes, 30 in abilities and 10 in Backgrounds, and Abilities and Backgrounds can go up to 5 without bp?


I'll get started now, so as to try avoid delay.

Yeah.
 
I imagine all of us share a good bit of power on the ship over the other NPC cremates, but what one if any of us hold the title of captain per say?
 
You'll have to work that out amongst yourselves (*fight! fight! fight!*) :P , but going by her title, it's likely not Shiva.


The PC's ship is *thinks* call it a hundred yards long, with about 180 NPC crew. The other vessel is about the same length.
 
...Another thing I probably should have cleared up before now, how much does my character know about the current state of Creation and recent history?

Probably not a lot. It depends on how much you want her to know.

My original idea was that she knows almost nothing, but... that might be a bit unreasonable, since she's known someone she can talk to for at least a little while, so... I don't really know. It also doesn't help that I have a headache, so I'm having trouble thinking this through again...
