Dice UEEF Adventures - OOC Thread

All that you'll need for character creation is in the Shadow Chronicles book. You will need to have a combat skill in either the Alpha or Beta fighter, so whatever character class you choose has to have those skills allocated to that. We currently have one Veritech pilot with a specialty in the Alpha, a Military Specialist that can pilot a Beta, and an NPC that will be your fourth, taking the remaining fighter for the two pairs needed for the game.

Can I suggest that the Alpha might be the easier choice to take for a new-to-the-game player? Just my opinion, but there you go.

Okay i'll do an Alpha can I get a blank copy of that character sheet?

 

[Sherwood]

The character sheet is on pg 198-199. You can use that for reference, and I'll wrap up my NPC as a Beta pilot.

 

[EbonChevalier]

Okay im a bit confused on how to do the Quick Character Creation. I roll a 1d8 to get a random characer class and personality?

 

[Sherwood]

That is not required for this. I would suggest you look at the Veritech Pilot OCC on pg 89, or perhaps a Technical Officer on pg 85. Attributes for humans are rolled using 4d6, rerolling 1's until they no longer appear, and you take the top three numbers. If they equal a 16-18, you add in another 1d6. If that number is also a 6, add in one more d6 for a potential of a 30 starting out before skills. You can put your stats in any order you wish.

 

[Psychie]

A couple of suggestions: First, make sure your Iq and Pp are two of your high stats. A high Iq gives a one time bonus to all skill percentages, and a high Pp is good for bonuses to Strike, Parry and Dodge. Also, make sure you take the Physical skill of Boxing. It adds an extra action per melee round to your character. A must have.

Don't forget to reroll the 1's

 

[EbonChevalier]

Okay how do you re roll ones on RPN's dice roller?

 

[Sherwood]

Just go to the roll and hit the 'roll another die' button, or make a new roll.

 

[EbonChevalier]

Okay im having a harder time understanding character creation that I thought. My stats are roll so do I choose and OOC?

Yep. The Veritech Pilot OCC is probably the best one for you, with the MOS of either Alpha Pilot or Recon Pilot as your skill selection. Then you pick your OCC Related Skills and your Secondary skills.

 

[Psychie]

Don't forget that you get to add Physical skills to your character like Boxing, Acrobatics or Running. Those three skills add to your physical attributes and will help you out.

 

[EbonChevalier]

I don't think i've got as much time for this game as I though you guys can replace me with someone else

 

[Sherwood]

If you are sure, I’ll be sorry to see you go.

Eonivar and Psychie I guess at the moment the two of you are it. We can start in the next day or so.

Sounds good to me

 

[Psychie]

Yeah, me too.

We’ll miss you, EbonChevalier .

 

[Sherwood]

I’ll start the IC thread later tonight once I’m home.

 

[Sherwood]

Forgot to ask, do either one of you have a preference on squad leader? I don’t want to make it an npc if I can avoid it.

Given her "age" and inexperience, I really do not see Nike as the squad leader but she would take it if offered.

 

[Psychie]

Doesn’t matter to me. Want to dice for it? A d20, highest roll wins?

 

[Eonivar]

lol, it would be funny for them to give squad leader to the youngest and most inexperienced member of the team that is also a Zentraedi..

sure lets roll for it.

It was meant to be ;-)

 

[Psychie]

Unless I get that 20…

 

[Eonivar]

Funny story, my friends and I have been playing the Palladium Robotech RPG since 7th grade. One of my friends, who is now retired army, always called the Zentraedi Fighter Pods "Mean Green Jeans"...I have long forgotten the story behind the name...but whenever i see the Fighter Pods I think "Mean Green Jeans"
