OOC Chat

Hello this is just for OOC chat

Greetings, thanks for the invite. I am more or less familiar with the most noteworthy setting info, but I am not that much knowledgeable about Adeptus Sororitas. I am familiar with Adeptus Mechanicus so my question is: is Sororitas character mandatory?

No, a Sororitas character is not necessary. You would, however, be in service to the Sisterhood. In this case one would assume that a Chapter of the Sisterhood would have any number of Mechanicus on hand to aid in repairing power armor, chain swords, bolters, etc.

Hello, thanks for the invite! Does my name appear twice on the list for some reason or is it just me?

I see, I would play as a Techpriest in service of the Adeptus Sororitas. I believe, Techpriest is tier 3.

Tier 3 is where we are at @Stalker05 so that's perfect.
I tried to fix it and ended up having to invite you again. Sorry the site is a bit new to me, so expect some oddness.

It's alright. This site is also pretty new for me. Is Confessor allowed as an archetype?

Yes

Hello!

I know plenty about the lore of 40k and I played lots of Soulbound. Still, this would be a new RPG system to me.

Given that I sadly cannot play an Eldar, I was thinking of running a veteran Retributor. The idea would be to play a Sister that is quite old compared to the other sisters, has refused many times promotion to Canoness, and that prefers to see the root cause of something (I. E. If there is a revolt to put down she might later decide to discover why the revolt happened in the first place) rather than just kill everyone.

She could even be a bit skeptical about the God-Emperor, if we want to add to the grizzled veteran archetype.

Heya! Nice to be here. I, too, am new to the system, but I got the book and I am reading up now, and made a mock-up Seraphim character to try the system. Not sure if I want to stick with that though. (although the idea of dual wielding inferno pistols warms my cold heart).

I have no idea what the tiers imply really. A Rogue Trader is tier 2? I'd have expected them to be up with Inquisitors. I love Rogue Traders by the way. It's the 40K game system I played the most. Though this campaign seems not to be the most suitable for one.

Hi All. I've played W&G (5 sessions long scenario) a few years ago, will need to remember things, but most of all my Lore knowledge is limited to that of my last DM provided me with. We did encounter Sisters of Battle so I have same basic vision, nevertheless I lack understanding of their relation to Xenos . Why would DM allow us to make Mutant, Ogryn, or Ratling?
Would it be a mercenary hired by the Sisterhood? Do they even hire anyone? Perhaps they would be "brain washed" or psi-influence to follow orders issues by the Sisters?

Ogryn and ratlings are sanctioned abhumans that have a place in the Imperial society.

So are beast-men, and cat-men. There are some Mutants that can easily walk around in an imperial city.

For example, voidborns of many generations tend to be tall and sleek.

Love the worlds of Rogue Trader too.

As for my character, it wouldn't be be a full-blown crusade against the ideals she upholds.

More like "The Emperor protects... But so does my multi-melta". She would be growing tired of seeing younger Sisters die and die again, she would be feeling old, etc.

Oh I just found paragraph on Ogryn and ratlings in Astra Militarum. I believe that would make my ratling a "local guard attached to Sisterhood". I am looking into playing one to avoid roleplay not appropriate for Adeptas Sororitas (i.e. heresy).

Yes such are sanctioned exceptions. I don't have details for beast-men and cat-men but they would be acceptable too. There would likely be a whole lot of various organizations assigned to assist the Sisterhood especially since the world has seen little in the way of combat in a long, long, time...

@Appalahi a good reason to be assigned to the Sisterhood of the Black Rose is just how long it's been since the world has seen combat.

@GreyWord Yes, that would be accurate. The largest guard presence is at the Shrine. The governor might have been siphoning funds from the guard since there hasn't been fighting in so long...

If everyone could, at least, jot down in the character area what they have, at least for now, that would be great!

I am done with character creation, what is everyone planning to play?

Maybe she comes from another Order and has recently joined? Or, even better, she was part of those few sisters who actually fought and operated in other planets or systems?

@Ysolde what's our rank and will it change through game? Is it 1?

Rank start with 1 and increases as you gain more xp.

Hmmm.... Maybe I would like to try a Sister Repentia to explore the darker side of the Sororitas.
