Ad Astra - Character Creation

I have taken some of this playtest's comments into consideration, from char-gen in all 4 games. Qralloq would like to join us, and I'm asking khakiphil from One More Job (waiting to hear back).

If it's all right with folks, we may as well shift to this sheet if we're adding folks. I'm easier to reach via Discord (lavtodd) for questions.

What do you think?

Scary space howdy!

Qralloq really needs more games to join šŸ˜
Howdy there

As for the sheet, I'm okay with updating. I'll just have to read and see what the changes are

I am enjoying this so far. I'm not a Curse of Strahd level horror person, but this is stretching me a little.
Well, on the flip side, Iā€™m struggling to have my character chilling about people dying with alien spiky crystals šŸ˜‚

Updating should be easy enough :)

Cool cool :)

Sounds like KP is interested!

Some suggestions for those joining us:
Second in command, who would have been captain during the meeting
Medbay assistant who is now chief medical officer since the current one got impaled
Security detail from the Antimony shipment (so, exposed in loading)
Bridge Data Entry (so, exposed in the meeting)
Or, of course, any other sort of engineering, security, research, supplies, etc. that would be on a Star-Trek type ship. Heck, I'll help you roll up a stowaway if you want to deal with the diplomatic backlash.

Here's my pitch:

Modben Tarch is a genetically engineered, one-time scientific prodigy with penchant for distraction and a weakness for obsession. After graduating summa cum laude from the prestigious Polytechnique Chandrasekhar, he immediately dropped scientific research and became a freelance journalist. While an accomplished writer, having had two pieces nominated for Pullitzers, he nonetheless has failed to achieve lasting recognition. Rumours in the dark that he is a government spy are, of course, completely unfounded.

Assigned to the Archangel in a PR role, he is also an undeniable expert on Antimony. His real task is to track down secrets and expose them. The mission is simply too important for personal agendas.

To reflect the unbalanced focus the scientists used when engineering him, let's say Mobden can always roll advantage on Book Smart, but must always roll disadvantage on Brute Force.

CESN, you...are aware that you're in the medbay right now too, right? XD

Spinach, please either roll Fine Motor to shoot, or Head or Book Smarts to examine the doctor. You have time for one.

CESN, please roll Head or Book Smarts to figure out how to lock down the medbay.

I like that this scene is basically ~
Sisters: Imma shoot it.
Jonh: NOPE NOT FAST ENOUGH

Alright, I think I updated my sheet to the new version

Wait, HP still refers to the body score but that doesn't exist anymore, right? What's it based on now?

Added a roll to my last post. It didn't go well. I don't really want to shoot yet. This is too scientifically interesting

I gave you "Mistrusted" due to your symbiote state, right? Otherwise it looks good. Health would be 2*(1+0) so 2 health and frick that makes this a fatal game XD
