Still here.

Y'all.  So sorry.  I was out of pocket with poor internet.  Then it turned into a thing in my head.  I'll get some stuff started later this evening.

Yes, but it still is predicated upon you making a successful roll on your AB skill.  "when she successfully activates it"

So, a 4 becomes an 8.

Heh. Well. That's embarrassing. I admit I completely forgot to pick a portrait and put up a description until today, lol.

But I managed to get an export of my character sheet from the savaged site and pop in to my rpol character sheet so I can roll dice a little easier. =)

I'll post in-character later on today hopefully.

Sorry. RL got away from me, but post is up now.

Come on, people other than Ulysses! Let's get going! =)

Sorry all, been struggling to find a picture that approximated what was in my mind. Ended up having to build a character portrait in X-COM to get it close. I've added it to the character description. Need to write something up when I have a bit more time.

Xar, I know there's a way for a GM to add custom portraits into the game for us to use, do you know how to do that?

If we're adding custom portraits, any chance we can add the one on my charsheet?

I didn't know that existed.  But, I've tried to upload Ulysses' picture from the character sheet.
I wonder if you have to post again for it to kick in.  I tried just editing and resaving your last post, but that didn't do it.

@Indigo, what would you like to use?

It's perfect, thanks! RpoL doesn't show changes to names or portraits in existing posts, only on new ones.

Not sure what size it needs to be, but here's the picture: https://i.imgur.com/yUpFfrw.jpg

allright.  I think that did it.

Thanks!

I was thinking about having you all put a reference to your bennies in your profile, and keep it updated there.  Have you played any other Savage Worlds games here, or in PBP?  If so, how did you do that in the past?

I would say that depends mostly on what kinds of blind rolls you tend to make without needing our input.  If you use notice a lot for ambushes we should include that, common knowledge could work that way too, parry and or toughness can matter although they can be fairly situational and combat posts tend to have more complexity to them in any case.

In reply to Jessica (msg # 52):

I am of the opinion that a game with meta-currency like bennies shouldn't have blind rolls.  This would literally take away player agency by denying you the opportunity to spend them.  I may think it's dumb to spend a benny on a given notice roll, but that's the players' call.

So, if everyone could please put the following into your biography lines:

# of Bennies, Parry, Toughness, Wounds and Fatigue.  I don't particularly care what format, but this is one that I've seen.

P:# T:# W:# F:# B:#

Xar, Indigo's Unbound Power (that gives him the free raise) is Boost/Lower Trait. I have it on the character sheet here, but the field for Unbound Power on Savaged.us is bugged and won't let me type anything in there.

Hopefully that is the mega version "Greater boost/lower trait" or does it work on both?

From my understanding, the Mega are just modifiers, so it would apply if I choose to add that modifier at the time I use it.

It's also worth nothing that Boost/Lower Trait is on the Bio-Manipulation list.

So with just a normal use of the Lower Trait half, he would lower an adversary's trait by two die types and gives 1 level of fatigue with a standard success.

Sure, or you could spend a few more points and lower the die type of half a dozen enemies far enough to cripple them with a penalty to recover from it.  If anyone has any spirit targeting stuff it is even more funny to lower that.

Actually, the bio-manipulation fatigue effect only works when I use the power on a single target.

Hello...?

I've made you all GM-level status.  I'm leaving RPOL and since I can't delete my account, I'm going to scramble my password so I can't log in.

Sorry, I suck.

I suppose that means this game is over.  I don't have the bandwidth to pick up a game right now, but if anyone else has an interest or thinks they know someone who might, I can stick around and see what we end up with.
