I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

Question, how wasteful is Graft and his chapter? I ask because materialism, commercialism, and consumerism are often defined by a sense of wastefulness, ie. discarding a perfectly good iPhone 9 for the new iPhone 10, or even worse, the very concept of engineered obsolescence. I want to make my character's chapter a prettified garbage dump, a Toyland that collects unloved and unwanted things and pretties them up, giving the illusion that they are loved and wanted. A crapsaccharine land of abandonment and resentment, mostly for inorganic and non-living materials that get turned into dolls and things. Or is Graft and his chapter highly efficient and resourceful, finding a use for anything and everything, and always finding ways to recycle broken or unused components?
Question, my character relies less on unique items, and more on unique skills or passives. Can I just swap out the Notable Equipment section for a Notable Skills section?
I've decided to go with a Chapter Keeper who is an animated ball-jointed doll and whose Chapter is called the Toy Factory; a paradise for creepy toys. My character has the title Lord Poltergeist and essentially fights by levitating weaponized doll parts as well as modifying their own body in grotesque ways by adding dangerous limbs, like Sid's toys from Toy Story.
I see, so max drones (of the independent remote controlled gun type) is actually 6 (6 for the drones themselves and 6 for the ammo)?
@Stern Algorithm

Yeah, four small drones count as one piece of equipment and needs another slot for ammo if they are ranged. Drones bigger than, say, a basketball will require two slots a piece.


So is it technically possible for a heavy robot to max out at 24 drones (6 slots for ammo, 6 slots for the drones, with the drone slots providing 4 drones each, for a total of 12 slots)?

Looking to maybe make this monstrosity, which has what looks like 20 drones.


"WHOOHOO! Principal Prism!" clack clack clack "Let's go, Mobius!" clack clack clack the sound of enthusiastic cheering cut through the uncomfortable silence, punctuated by the sharp rap of Taihou 'clapping' his claws together in applause. He was happy to see the academy employ an AI as their principal and administrator, going against the stigma and stereotype of highly intelligent and advanced AI attempting to destroy all organics or take over the world. It showed the school was forward thinking, and a great place for someone like him who was trying to push the boundaries of what people are willing to accept as a hero. The next announcement got him both excited and nervous at the same time. Their teachers would be real, grade-A heroes! But the fact that he had to pick up a keycard filled him with agitation.

Looking under his seat, he saw it laying there, flat on the ground. Getting his massive claw under himself and between the legs of the seat was already difficult enough, but he was able to slide the card out from under the chair and between his feet. Over the course of the next few minutes, Taihou fumbled clumsily with both claws in an attempt to pick up the keycard. Though his father had fabricated special rubber claw-sleeves full of useful widgets for manipulating everyday objects, his father had not accounted for this particular scenario. Soon Taihou was fidgeting with his two claws, just trying to find some way to flip the card up so he could grip it properly.





At the conclusion of Principal Prism's speech, Nzige crossed her forearms in front of her, giving the Wakandan salute as a sign of respect to the faculty. As a highly advanced yet traditional culture, Wakanda venerated teachers as vital to individual growth and civilizational prosperity. However, she soon noticed that very few, if any seemed to be paying their respects, and although enthusiastic, the shouting and clapping coming from some other part of the auditorium seemed almost irreverent and disrespectful, after all, this wasn't a show meant to entertain. She reached under her chair and pulled up the card, reading 1A. "Ms. Pride," Nzige thought to herself passively, a hero who no doubt had to learn how to deal with the ethereal nature of her powers. Certainly a wonderful source of guidance.

Yet as the speech ended and students began to move and shuffle, Nzige felt the tension in the room rise as white noise slowly increased in volume; the sound of shuffling feet, the squeak of chairs sliding, students mumbling to each other. She closed her eyes, but the auditory image of the room created by echolocation lingered in her mind, preventing her from shutting out the rising intensity of stimulus. With her eyes closed, she managed to navigate her way out of the auditorium by sound, and headed straight to her dorm room, looking for a quiet place. Unlocking the door with her card, she slipped inside and leaned against a wall to catch her breath. She wanted to lay down, but she didn't want to inadvertently claim a bed before consulting her eventual roommate.
Interested in this. Would you consider remote weapons ie. funnels, DRAGOONs, drones, etc. and how would you rate them, for example, would each drone be a considered a single piece of equipment or would a set (like 3-4 drones) be considered a single piece? Would it be considered a light or a heavy weapon?
I might want to reserve a spot as a Chapter Keeper, but High Cleric and Vault Keeper seem fun too.
Vivian & Sylvia Altissima

@Restalaan

At Yang's mention of being vegetarian Vivian giggled, since she had half expected something like this would come up, while Sylvia remained thoughtful. "It is an interesting conundrum. I think as long as you're grateful to the source of your food, the spirits will be appeased. Now let me show you what a lasagna is..."



@PaulHaynek @BKburke @ShwiggityShwah @13org

After some toiling in the kitchen, dinner was served, and Vivian beamed to see everyone digging in. Talia mentioned bringing food to Ditzy and Neil. Sylvia moved to respond, but a firm hand from Vivian on her shoulder prompted her to slow down. Sylvia didn't know why, but Vivian had her reasons to stop her. In the end, Yang and Bart went to deliver the dinners, while Vivian and Sylvia stayed to oversee the dinner table and listen to the gossip. "I don't disagree with Neil's a opinion that a job's a job," Vivian began, "But if Varjo is becoming such a problem, don't the other nations or cities have a military to deal with it?"
@NeoAJ

@TootsiePop's character, Lex, is a clone of X-23 (Laura Kinney) who is a female clone of Wolverine, so there's some overlap there.
