Dice Warhammer 40K: The Interex Valhalla

[Protagonist]

I'm trying to figure out how you roll command. Anyone know how that works?

 

[Nexus Placater]

If you have the skill trained or if you have it even, you roll the stat that it associated with. If it passes you do the skill. If you don't have the skill, you do it untrained and you half the stat for the ability to work.

 

[Nexus Placater]

For Command I think it is Fellowship.

 

[Eplov]

Apollo has command trained, so it should be his fellowship (50), adjusted for circumstances (easy checks get a bonus to your skill, hard ones a penalty), or less on a percentile role. Every ten points by which he succeeds or fails is a a degree of success/failure. Those degrees are an indication of how epic your success or failure turns out.

 

[Eplov]

All of that is in the beginning of chapter IX (Playing the Game) in the main book.

 

[Nexus Placater]

Don't worry, I have it handled.

 

[Eplov]

Hmm, there seems to be some weird delay in getting my alerts. I only now got the prompt from your message, @Deltorian Nephran, and your message was already twenty minutes old.


I also didn't get a prompt for the main page, or else I would've seen that all the rolling had already taken place and my two cents were unnecessary. Bah.

 

[Nexus Placater]

Just asking @Protagonist, is this before or after we exited the warp? If it is, we can't do anything before we exit the warp. Also, we need astropaths to send messages long distance.

@Protagonist[/URL], is this before or after we exited the warp? If it is, we can't do anything before we exit the warp. Also, we need astropaths to send messages long distance.

We've already exited the warp. We exited the warp in the path of a meteor that was carrying a few Orks (3 that survived the collision). The Orks were defeated in a brief shootout by security forces (though there were 8 casualties on our side).


How long a range? In space terms, he's not very far (just barely visual range). I think we could just use a radio for this particular job.

 

[Protagonist]

Oh, whoops. I just realized I forgot to approve Nieli! I thought I already had.

 

[Nexus Placater]

If we are orbiting a planet, yes VOX will work but if it's something like we are just able to see the planet, gonna need an astropath.

[/QUOTE]
We're contacting a small ship (orbiting a planet) I mean to say.


It'd be within VOX range, as it'd be at least as close to us as an object in Low Orbit (probably much closer).

 

[Eplov]

Technically, she would have made the test if it were ordinary or easier. I just figured making a vox call had to be easy at least.

 

[Protagonist]

To be honest, the device is so simple I doubt it even merits a tech roll.

 

[Protagonist]

@Eplov, oh, one more thing: Would you mind including Neili's arrival onto the bridge? She's the only one we're waiting on at this point.

 

[Eplov]

Can do. Reality again...

 

[Eplov]

That's an opposed willpower check needing two degrees of success if you wish to avoid being charmed.

 

[Eplov]

Would this be an investigation underworld to learn about his "friends"?

 

[Eplov]

Hmm, think I misread that. It's common lore (underworld), which is counted as an investigation subclass skill. But it doesn't mean you investigate anything. It means you already know it.

 

[Eplov]

Can I tech use, or plain int check, to learn about them?

 

[Eplov]

Looks like I was wrong on both counts. Inquiry allows you to gain info, but it takes an hour minimum so we can make do with knowledge checks. I'm going to dump them here so you can tell me what my character(s) know. Both sisters have common lore (underworld).

And both sisters failed their rolls. Fudge.

 

[Nexus Placater]

Do you think that I would be able to feel the taint of the warp on Nieli because she interacted with a daemon? Would I be able to perceive her through psyniscience or Gaze into the Abyss?

 

[Eplov]

Fair point. I'm not sure how either of those work, but she does have a corruption level of 5. Can you detect that?

 

[Nexus Placater]

My Gaze into the Abyss allows me to see if someone has a psy rating or if they are tainted by the warp. Tainted by the warp can mean many things, from 20+ corruption, mutated, possessed, etc.

 

[Eplov]

Hmm, she doesn't have any of those things specifically. GM ruling here?
