[OOC] DEATHWATCH "First Amongst Equals" Advanced RP & Tabletop

[Ollumhammersong]

That's one of the things I was hoping he could answer about my character. I imagine some special considerations and changes are made to a psykers training.

I made all the Betcher's gland stuff as one test, since its property was toxic. Still, I somehow managed to miss a knife strike against a dying enemy -_- I am disappoint in myself.

Also, Betcher Gland be OP against unarmoured enemies. That and my rolling is oddly good today. Managed a 117 for the Kroot's Toughness test...Pretty sure it died.

Is anyone else waiting with baited breath for arseface to go toe to toe with 3 tau fire warriors? I kinda want to see him lose solely for how he could manage to write an astartes losing ahnd to hand against Tau.

[Harbringer]

Im guessing a hoof kick to the groin?

[Uncle Mayhem]

Ugh, sorry guys, I've been sick and out of it..let me see if I can cover it all here...my iPad is about to die and every time I try and tab over to reread posts it deletes what I am typing, if I miss anything I'm sorry.

You don't get your Unnatural Toughness & Strength simply because you aren't in power armor at the moment.

I will occasionally ask you for specific Checks, other times I will note them as Open, meaning it up to you to decide what, if any, Checks you want to make.

Ollum- once you go through your "special" intro, you go about the same regime as everyone else. I'll PM you, but basically you are free to write up any RP interactions you want to NPCs and do your combat-ish thing before pausing for your First Oath.
And you wouldn't fight any xeno psyker. So other than no psyker no named hero, no monstrous creature...up to you.

Arsefacetheugly might be late on his post. He is in the middle of moving, I'll see what we can get out of him tomorrow.

Posts look good so far, I haven't finished reading them yet, but I will soon.

"You don't get your Unnatural Toughness & Strength simply because you aren't in power armor at the moment."

They should still get it. Unnatural toughness and strength (x2) are TRAITS that are the result of their genetic/biological enhancements that occurred during the process of becoming space marines. The only thing power armor affects is a +20 bonus to strength and when in it you treat movement speed as though it were 1 step higher.

Marines (or any creature with an unnatural trait) would still benefit from their unnatural traits regardless of what they are wearing.

I'm pretty sure it is too late to join, but it never hurts to ask, right? I've been looking for good 40k rp's/tabletops forever :I

Uncle Mayhem said And this campaign is now locked, we got our 8.

My bad, you are right sir. Thanks for the clarification.

Azico- Sorry, we got a lot going on now. But I will keep you in mind if anything else comes up.

[Azico]

Thanks.

I am just glad to help. The vast majority of the rules written in the CRB are spot rules or in heavy need of ... interpretation. Sadly (luckily?) I have spent a lot of time doing just that.

[Cloud3514]

Apologies for not having my next post up yet. It's been a very busy week.

[pearldrum1]

Seconded. But tomorrow should be a killer easy day at work. My kids are graduating and then I am just CHILLING. SO, I will get my IC on. Hardcore.

[mruozu]

Yeah I should have everything together and posted tomorrow pretty early.

[Uncle Mayhem]

No worries guys. This Sun deadline was to see if we could get our shit together in a week. And I think normally, we could. But this week we had 3 new people and my co-DM move out of state (bastard) so I'm not too worried about people posting by deadline. Ive spoken to everyone though, so it seems like everyone has works in progress and thats good enough for me.

[Ollumhammersong]

ill be getting mine out later. I have to visit some family today and that will take up most of my day.

[Uncle Mayhem]

If anyone passed that Medicade Check, PM me. If you passed it and already posted...my bad, I forgot to tell you something. You could edit your posts or save it for later...either way, PM me.

[pearldrum1]

So, we are all being allowed a medicae check even if we don't have it as a trained skill right - since Medicae is an "advanced skill" and normally could not even be attempted if not trained in it - ?

[Omega]

If it js not trained you can make a toughness check at -40. Which makes me wonder what it is since that is a pretty tough check.

Why would I make a toughness check? Medicae is a trained-only Intelligence skill. If I am not trained in it, I simply cannot attempt the check at all. I don't understand where Toughness would come into play.

Edit: Disregard. #4. Skill Test: Medicae (only roll if you are trained) <---- Found my answer, right there. Next time I will read just a little bit ahead before I ask a question that has already been answered. SMH. lol
