Discuss your characters

New version for the table, this time with what I think is correct roll (except for general modifier), for Int 14.


Does this work?
(...it's not going to look good on mobile, is it?)

Unrelated to the table - does Lucius need Control skill to use his tail?
Also, what feat(s) would I need to have a gun as my off-hand?

I think that you can place specializations, and Training in the same place you put feats, they don't have to be next to skills I do suppose.

Control is only for Super Powers.

No need for anything for off-hand use. You can improve it with the Two-Handed Fighting feat.

@FlyingSucculent I have a list of notes for your character. Oh, but before I continue, I don't care if you don't have columns for Skill Bonuses, Equipment, and General Bonuses, but make sure to list them correctly; that +2 (feat) bonus is probably a Skill Bonus, which stacks with other Skill Bonuses, but not Equipment Modifiers or General Skill Modifiers.

Alright:

Skills that have 0 ranks have a -4 modifier.

Your character needs 3 Allegiances.

You need one last Hobby.

I think it makes sense for your character to be able to speak Ancient Chinese. In addition, I believe you a missing two more languages.

You need to take two more feats. I recommend at least one be Two-Weapon Fighting.

You are missing your Sanity score.

Just so you know, your Achilles' heel is your Chest. I haven't uploaded it yet, but there is a hit location chart, and 17 is associated with the chest. If you want it to be another body part, let me know. Otherwise, figure out why your chest is your most vulnerable spot.

I might recommend taking more disadvantages.

Remember that one of the only way to earn XP is via your personality traits. The more traits you have, the more chances you have to earn XP.

His bond should tie him to the island of Motivation. I'd advise you say that his friend is living there, maybe as an exchange student? In addition, you still need 3 more bonds.

You still need two more aspirations, at a minimum.

His aversion to meat has two more aversions in there: Levered limbs and shapechangers. I'd list those separately. Not that levered limbs will be coming up that often.

You need at least one fear. Go with snakes, that's a good one for monkeys, right?

I have updated the sheet since you last looked at it - it has sanity and -4s already. :D And also different numbers for attributes - which eliminated extra languages (not that they were extra at that moment, I noticed that you changed how number of languages is determined).

Chest vulnerability is easy - his Strength is one of his worst stats, so it's just him being easily winded. XD Or maybe it's all fragile monkey bones.

I don't really want to split meat aversion, I'd rather keep it as is and add two different ones, if you don't mind?

As for everything else, as I mentioned, it's still a WIP; I'm on the fence about a lot of things, so that's why it's missing a bunch of more no-math things. Math is easier sometimes. XD

MATH IS EASIER!?

Alright, apologies for not looking closer. This *cusswords* game is a WIP, so many forgivenesses are given all around.

Well, I guess /s

Yeah, of course! Just a suggestion.

"For my next action, I'm going to dump an entire ammo can on the ground and make snow angels with my rounds while the monster charges us, k? Cover me."

LMFAO.

I mean, the whole idea is that it's practically impossible...unless you get the drop on them, and you're RAMBO!

Let me see...alright, So Rambo saddles up. He's got a 25 Strength (+7), max ranks in Heavy-Weapons (+10), Dead-Aim (+2 GB), Loner (+2 GB), Sneak Attack (+2 GB), Point Blank Shot (+1 GB), Rapid Dominance (+2 GB), Unstoppable 3 and half HP (+1 GB because GB is at max +10) Attack Focus 1&2 (+2 SB), and Specialized Weapon Training (the +10 from heavy weapons is now +4d10), and has a Mastercraft (+5) Chain-Gun. And all those Extra attack feats.

So, that's 1d20+2d4+8d10-4d10-1d6

RAMBO WINS!

Okay, I went nuclear. I think the idea is that most people miss when you spray and pray. Only action heroes are good at that.

OMG @MaJunior! I didn't know I was editing that!

Lol

The issue with spray and pray is that it is essentially suppressive fire. Some (many?) bullets will still hit, just because of how many you put in the air... but it seems like in-game, unless you spec into that one thing with all you have, it's just a waste.

It could be argued you should actually have an easier time hitting a target with a handful of your shots, strictly because of how many you're firing.

Good point.

It looks like the old version did something completely different in D20 Modern . -4 non accumulative bonus for an additional 2 damage dice.

Let's just do that. It's nowhere near as confusing.

@oopsylon, I may have missed something, but it appears that you are the first person who has completed your character!

:D

Well done! I'm getting there as well.

Anyone wanna discuss connections? Do our characters know each other? And if yes - how?

And I'd like to get started before the end of next week. So whatever you need from me, please ask!

I saw your update, I'm taking the mild Phobia.

Okay folks, we're coming up on our 1 month mark! What can I do for you to help us get started? Should I just unlock the first post and we can begin, and you get the details done in a little bit?

I'll have my sheet turned in for review in the next day or two. Feel free to start without me if you want, I can always work myself into the existing scene.

I still need your input on my Debt situation (I sent you a PM a few days ago). Also, I would like to ask how are we going to deal with character inventory. Unlike DnD and other games where the characters are carrying all their belongings, we all live in a city, have lodgings and consequently own any number of random stuff. Is there going to be some "I own X item" and "I happen to carry X item with me" roll?

@Merivel WHOOPS! I thought I had typed and sent a response, but let me do that right now.

I've been trying to figure out lodgings, let me look into that and get back to you.
