Hello this is just for OOC chat
Feb 14, 2024 8:23 pm
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?
Feb 14, 2024 9:00 pm
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.
Feb 14, 2024 9:06 pm
Hello, thanks for the invite! Does my name appear twice on the list for some reason or is it just me?
Feb 14, 2024 9:10 pm
I see, I would play as a Techpriest in service of the Adeptus Sororitas. I believe, Techpriest is tier 3.
Feb 14, 2024 9:18 pm
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.
Feb 14, 2024 9:25 pm
It's alright. This site is also pretty new for me. Is Confessor allowed as an archetype?

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!

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?

Actually one more question - which version of W&G rulebook are we using? I've last played based on 2.1, but first version also exist
Feb 15, 2024 9:42 pm
Planning to go for a Sister Imagifier, full on faith and speeches, so I can flex 40k knowledge yell litanies and incite hatred.
Khulod says:

This is a weird one, because technically Sisters aren't allowed to talk to Repentia, so no one would be allowed to talk to you. :p

So a guard regiment wouldn't be attached to the sisterhood. Given that the Ecclesiarchy aren't allowed to have soldiers with arms, they can't be in charge of guardsmen. Also, obviously our GM has the final call on ogryn and raltings, but 99% of sororitas orders consider abhumans to be mutants and heretical.

(Not that I'm not a big fan of both :p)

I'm also curious about why a shrine world would have a guard regiment? Surely it would have PDF instead, given their tithe would be sororitas and the priesthood.

I think the Sororitas hating on abhumans would depend on some more factors. Sure, they will not *like* them, but the Sororitas don't like a lot of things that they still allow to live. Sanctioned psykers for one (ABHOR THE WITCH!). They will never field one on their own, and any sister that suddenly develops psychic abilities is shoved into a Black Ship/burned, no questions asked, but on the battlefield they won't shoot the Guard's pet psykers or the Astartes Librarian on sight (and I think Navigators are smart enough to not invite the Sororitas for dinner). While they don't have much force of nuance, they manage that at least.

I would think the same goes for the abhumans. They won't allow any in their order, and some branches will consider them full mutants to be dealt with accordingly (KILL THE MUTANT!), many orders, especially those who live on hive worlds or travel on void ships, understand that the local climate causes the occasional mild mutation. It helps that the larger part of the Imperium officially sanctions some types of abhumans. And any Sororitas that has fought alongside the Imperial guard might have spotted the occasional Ogryn or Ratling doing their part. It helps that their genome is stable and there are no known cases of abhumans spontaneously changing into Warp Spawn. (Unlike psykers)

Why not both? Both the Ecclesiarchy and the Administratum may make demands of the planetary governor to supply each organization with its demands.

@Greyworld I am more familiar with 1.0. The changes aren’t that vast between editions just the 2nd provides some options for creating a character whole cloth. Combat and gear mostly remain the same

On Abhumans and mutants. All sanctioned abhumans, mutants, and psychers are considered The Emperor’s children and thus are free from heretical taint. Psychers will still get some side eye and if they get turned into a creature of the warp gunned down without mercy.

Sisters Repentia may be spoken to as if they are on planet then they have done some deed to truly begin repentance. They just need more guidance…l

I know some of this is a bit of a twist in the standard rules but I prefer any hatred to be focused on the enemy NPCs

Oh and I think for the wrath die it will need to be rolled separately. Like below

Rolls

Actually talking of gear, since I've picked a tier 1 Archetype - would I be able to use rule Wargear I see in v 2.1 that say I can replacing what you would receive from Archetype to set with total value 25, max value 10, Maximum rarity: One very rare and two Rare.

Since multi-melta is rate with value 7 not allowed by Ysolde it means there are some special rules

I have most of the important information in the lore section. It will, of course, be added to as you play.

If people can get characters made by this Friday that would be my personal preference for a start date.
Feb 20, 2024 11:05 am

Noblebright agents and heroes. Expect to find yourselves between the population of Violet Equinox and Xenos threats, Chaos threats, and mismanagement/false dealing from the nobility and planetary government.
Feb 20, 2024 4:12 pm
@Ysolde I was meaning to ask what my character's forge world will be? I know it might not play any significant role in the game, but just wanted to know which forge world will be close to the game setting. I was thinking about Agripinaa but you can suggest something. Or is it going to be Sororitas order because he is working under them now?

So we will follow the more modern approach of GW as Sororitas being actual heroines of the Imperium.

Cool, I can dig that.

@Stalker05 you can choose one of the following options:
1) Agripinaa - You were born there and were well known for servicing battle armor. When the request for a Tech Priest came from Violet Equinox came to help repair the Sisterhood's battle armor and pacify the machine spirits you were chosen.

2) Indigo Equinox - The ice prison mines ores and a small cohort of Adeptus Mechanicus turns the iron into large farming devices used on Violet Equinox. You were among these tech priests and when the tech priest in charge of servicing the Adeptas Sororitas perished due to his organics failing you were closest and most experienced.

3) Violet Equinox - Your family have been tech priests serving the Sisterhood of the Black Rose for ages. You are the most recent in the family line to become the tech priest in charge who aids the sisterhood and services the machine spirits for them.

Commissar Senrin - Commands the regiment in Agri-City keeping order in the city itself
Commissar Xeras - Commands one regiment that keeps order in the fields
Commissar Dairis - Comnands one regiment that keeps order in the fields

So I've got a few questions re/ this. Why are Commissars in charge of regiments? They're political officers and only very rarely in charge of a regiment if ever. Surely it should be at least a colonel? Also, why does a small system have 3 regiments? That seems an excessively large levy for a low strategic value planet like this one. (Especially one with an Adepta Sororitas presence)

Let's go with Agripinaa. This will match with the setting, since I don't know much about Equinox and Krondo Sigma would also be new to the system and learn things from a different perspective.

My bad it should be One Regiment at partial force (1 Battalion at 1/3 strength made up of 3 companies of 60-100) so a Captain and two 2nd lieutenants.

I'm not as up on Astra Militarum as I am Adeptas Sororitas.

Yeah, I really would like to play a Rogue Trader in a future game where its feasible. I played the old Rogue Trader game by FFG quite a bit and just loved the freedom and stupendous power it gave you. I already theorycrafted a character with the Bombardment talent, servants, and whatnot.

That said, playing a Rogue Trader campaign should be very possible with this ruleset!

Ps. I'm still stupified that a Rogue Trader is only Tier 2.

Rolling for Data slate, Galvanic carbine.

So, I got the data slate but I rolled a complication on Galvanic carbine. Galvanic carbine has a DN of 7 with the rarity; 3 success there. But, the complication causes me to lose a wealth. So +2 wealth makes it, 5. I will spent 5 xp, to buy the Galvanic carbine and bring the wealth back to 3.

Lore/settings question - when Maria Grace requested us to
Quote:
investigate more from here
does that mean we can/should interact with any devices that would provide us some video recordings or any other information about what happened? Would we be authorized and even expected to question The Governor or at least some liaison? Perhaps investigate order mean doing anything else I am not aware of as a player?

P.S. I was under impression in a high-tech environment "scouts not responded back" is not something that can happen. Are there issues with keeping constant communication between scouting party and command center? Are there any other reasons they don't want to do that in WH universe?
Feb 24, 2024 9:39 am
Not to step on @Ysolde's toes as game master but,

A group like ours, without authorisation of a higher authority like an Inquisitor, Rogue Trader or, potentially, Canoness would likely not be permitted an audience with the governor. Maybe not even any high nobles, to be honest. It's hard to think of what we can do to investigate from a distance, with the exception of the tech priest's fiddling with cogitators or the ratling maybe having information networks.

In terms of scouts not reporting back, they might've died. Not uncommon when xenos are involved. Vox comms can be blocked and/or interfered with by psychic or technological means, and in some cases environmental. As for constant communication, due to the separation of powers the Sororitas and the PDF/Guard don't operate on the same command structure, therefore even if they were keeping in contact the sororitas command wouldn't know. (They'd likely want to be told, but that doesn't guarantee they will be.) That said, the ogryn and ratling might. (Unlikely the ratling would be allowed within miles of the command centre, and the ogryn wouldn't unless on bodyguard duty.)

As for why they might not? Politics. A greedy planetary governor might want power, resources, things to sell behind the radar. They might want to keep the guard command out of the loop, or avoid any info leaking to the sororitas or, worse, the inquisition. Or, if he was a heretic. We're assuming he's not... for now. :p

I totally agree with @Tickettbror and I will like to add that it depends how much tech is present in Violet Equinox. Does the Mechanicus have a considerable presence here? If so, they can supply servo skulls attached to pict recorders and video feeds. Generally servo skulls are very common occurrence, but they need to have advanced scanning and projection signals to give you a holographic display of what is going on. It depends on whether the scout team carried any servo skulls like that and it is highly probable that all the information and data they sent are with the planetary governor.

I have submitted the character. Let me know if I need to fix or change anything (very much possible)

As soon as the mechanical part is good I'll forward the BG

Not to step on @Ysolde's toes as game master but,

A group like ours, without authorisation of a higher authority like an Inquisitor, Rogue Trader or, potentially, Canoness would likely not be permitted an audience with the governor. Maybe not even any high nobles, to be honest. It's hard to think of what we can do to investigate from a distance, with the exception of the tech priest's fiddling with cogitators or the ratling maybe having information networks.

As a matter of fact I've put some points into Investigation and social skills and and mission briefing is calling to use them.
@Ysolde would you help me understand what are my options as a player to get my PC involved in investigation through communicating with proper people, perhaps finding the roper people?
I know my Ratling penalty will be involved, and I am fine with that

Feb 24, 2024 1:47 pm
@Tickettbror and @Stalker05 are right there would be some servo skulls that 5he Tech Priest might be able hack depending on the skill check. Beyond that there’s a reason you weren’t sent into the city to get answers from higher up.

@GreyWord you can use fellowship to contact people in, shall we say, low places who you might know. There are some other Ratlings in Agri-City and there are a few gangs too.

I hadn’t considered seniority and all the Sisters are about the same rank. Do you want to roll to determine seniority or make the decision between you?

Got it. No talking and no any decision making for my PC at the moment. Looking forward to fly to the crash sight and receive orders from the sisters
Feb 25, 2024 2:19 pm
Krondo Sigma has come to Violet Equinox on the order and recommendation of the high ranking Magos of Agripinaa to aid the Sisterhood of Black Rose. He is technically not a part of the Sisterhood per se, but by the agreement he will follow the established chain of command. In the mission, he will follow the orders of whoever is in charge.
Feb 25, 2024 2:24 pm
The Sororitas don't really have a rank structure like the Militarum or the Astartes. The Sister Superior is basically a NCO but beyond that there are no official hierarchical ranks among the sisters themselves, who officially only have novices under them in the hierarchy but otherwise all are peers. The Superior can certainly assign field command to someone though, but that's up to her and who receives that will depend on her judgement. If a field hospital needs to be built, a Hospitaler sister is going to be put in charge, for diplomacy, a Sister Dialogus. If it's combat, the most decorated Sister of Battle who is capable of command may receive that duty. But it's all up to the Superior's preference and whim.

But they do have a hierarchy, and they operate as a military structure?

- Abbess of the Adepta Sororitas - Commands the whole of the Adepta Sororitas as well as acting as Supreme Commander of the Orders Militant.
- Prioress - Oversees one of the two Convents.
- Canoness Superior - In command of an entire Convent.
- Canoness Preceptor - Commands a convent in the Canoness Superior's absence, otherwise is in charge of a battle group.
- Canoness - In command of a combat patrol, or a battle group in the absence of a Preceptor.
- Palatine - In command of a combat patrol.
- Legatine - Effectively a Sergeant Major or Warrant Officer.
- Celestian Superior - Same as below, but as a sergeant.
- Celestian - Technically the same rank as a sister, but as they're in the inner circle and are the personal bodyguard of the canoness or other officer they are considered to have rank. Sacresants are also given this reverence as members of the inner circle.
- Sister Superior - Effectively a sergeant
- Sister - Fully trained Battle sisters.
- Novitiate - Battlefield squires.
- Constantia - In training rank.
- Cantus - In training rank.
- Novice - In training rank.

Dialogus, Hospitalier, and Imagifier are outside the hierarchy, though are placed roughly around Legatine for clearance purposes. Even in a diplomatic or exemplary context they'd likely defer to a Legatine or higher rank.

I wanted to use the template of the palatine or legatine. I didn't discuss if Domitia is a Sergeant equivalent, so I'm going to wait for a moment on that

Yes, you arrived. Basically you had a chance to Vox call someone you might know or use the local data net. Before you landed at the Xenos ship and I’ll drop the information that you were able to get based on your successes.

Hello, welcome to your first Combat.

One of you gets to go first (You can either choose who as a group or simply whomever posts first.) and then one of the Hormagaunts until everyone has gone. I believe you have 2 glory points that you (as a group) can choose to use if you wish any two of you to seize initiative and thus have three of you go before the Hormagaunts!
Feb 28, 2024 4:11 pm
What a day.

What a lovely day!
Feb 28, 2024 5:30 pm
@Ysolde What's our distance to the hormagaunts? Based on picture and description room is at least 50 meters long and 50 is more than most of wh40k weapon long range not to mention medium and short, so this should affect our attack rolls shouldn't it? I'm used to play WH40 combat on a battle map and will need some guidance on playing without
Feb 28, 2024 6:07 pm
@Greyworld
I know theatre of the mind can be a bit tricksy. I did figure you've moved about 25 meters into the room before the table lit up. That gives you 25 meters from the Hormagaunts. The Hormagaunts are speed 8 so once they sprint (24 meters) they will be in close range, and they will likely take a action for -2 DN.

Actions available in combat:
- One Movement or Movement Option.
---Running you may move double your movement and lose a simple action
---Sprinting you may move triple your movement and lose a combat action
- One Action, sometimes called a ‘Combat Action’ for clarity.
- One Simple Action.
- One Reflexive Action.

Multiple actions:
Sometimes you might need to sprint and have a combat action or run and take a simple action. Maybe you need to give an inspiring speech while you perform medicae and fire at the enemy. Taking multiple actions reduces each action by 2 dice. You may not, in any case, every take more than one attack action unless you have a feat or special ability that allows it.

I'll add this to the combat section for ease of reference.

Okay re-looking at the Ranges it seems like Wrath and Glory is the wonky one. Every other Warhammer data source suggests much higher ranges. So, I think the ranges were intended to be inches or centimeters just like if we were playing tabletop. With that in mind lets rejigger the ranges by a factor of 10. (In what world would a Sniper Rifle have a long range of 46 meters? Maybe 460 and even then...)
GreyWord says:

Multi-Attacks work similarly to Multi-Actions; every additional attack increases the Defence of every target by +2 for the purposes of the Multi-Attack. Each attack of your Multi-Attack must use the same weapon, and you cannot Shift as part of a Multi-Attack. Roll damage once, and apply the result to every target hit. (I was reading 2.0 this has been added to the combat section)
Appalahi says:

If she is immune to fear effects, then yes. If she's immune to Xenos powers then no, this is a simple fear test based on the dead body collapsed on the table.

This is a free action. Everyone can make the test without actually taking their turn.

So, to clarify. I like role-playing as leaders, and I like playing as gruffy leaders or silent ones. However, I believe this is just mostly flavor, with only the added benefit of Domitia of trying to help the DM to steer the party in the right direction.

I hate micromanaging other players in combat.

I would, however, strongly suggest to have anyone who can either buff or use some big guns to go first.

In any case, I have a multi-melta. Here I don't think it might make a difference, but maybe against more heavily armored enemies it could be neat.

I seem to remember two of our sisters can actually buff?

Sorry, two more question.
Would you tell us enemy armor? I'm used to know armor before I make my combat decision and obviously I will need to know if to know how much can I shift if I don't do Multi-Attack.

Just to confirm I can do both
1. Take Aim (option)
2. Announce Multi-Attack
[ +- ] Aim
Since rules mention attack tests in plural looks like it is intended that I may be doing Aim and Multi-Attack at the same turn




P.S. I respect your decisions @Ysolde just want to share my experience with weapon ranges and gameplay.

@Grayworld Enemy defense = 3

On weapon ranges. This encounter was designed to be within standard range based on my previous experience with Warhammer minuatures. I’m not quite sure what the answer should be because this is the first time I’ve DMed Wrath and Glory but, I feel that lore ought to be similar. It would be strange if a unit of rattling snipers could fire 150 yards just fine until one of them joined your group.

Basically I guess just use the range in Wrath and Glory unless another source shows a higher range.

Sorry for the confusion, this is the first time I noticed the issue
Feb 29, 2024 6:58 pm
Out of questions. Than you for patiently answering. I love to ask a lot of them, hope at least half of them were useful to everyone

In fairness, its probably better for everyone to take their turn and then resolve stuff in initiative order, that way people don't end up waiting around to post if that makes sense. That's how I've done it in other games.

Hormagaunt on Olivia rolled

(6,4,6,6,1,2) + (2)

That's 7 icons, isn't that? An Exalted Icon counts as two Icons - are there things in W&G that break this base rule?
Mar 1, 2024 8:45 am
Generally 4, 5 counts as 1 icon and 6 count as 2 (Exalted icon). But, if you use the 6 to Shift, you lose those icons and get the extra effect.

No, I didn’t count the exalted icons as two icons and I didn’t realize Olivia’s defense was 4 not 5 (my bad?). Olivia takes 6+1ED with 5 points absorbed by her armor. I’ll bank the 2 shifts for 2 ruin and use that later…

I’m also getting a feel for the combat, please bear with me, so expect it to ratchet up a bit. There will likely be more in the next room or something more powerful.

Actually canonically Sororitas helmets have photo-visor (low-light and anti-flash) and preysense (thermal) vision modes, not an actual light source. But that's not all! *Slaps hand on helmet* The Sabbat Pattern Sororitas Helm that has been used since the 38th millennium also comes with a rebreather and vacuum seal, allowing a fully armored Sister of Battle to fight in the vacuum of space or other adverse conditions! But that's not all. Don't you hate those pesky psykers? Fear not, for the Sabbat pattern helmet is made of psy-nullifying alloys keeping your mind safe from the foulness of the Witch! Order now, and you will get a 2% discount on the optional Psyocculum modification, allowing the tactical read-outs provided by your helmet's machine spirit to also display the presence of psykers and the foul entities of the Warp!

Ps. Light sources the Soriritas generally carry are usually provided by their disproportionate love for flamer weapons. :D

Actually canonically Sororitas helmets have photo-visor (low-light and anti-flash) and preysense (thermal) vision modes, not an actual light source. But that's not all! *Slaps hand on helmet* The Sabbat Pattern Sororitas Helm that has been used since the 38th millennium also comes with a rebreather and vacuum seal, allowing a fully armored Sister of Battle to fight in the vacuum of space or other adverse conditions! But that's not all. Don't you hate those pesky psykers? Fear not, for the Sabbat pattern helmet is made of psy-nullifying alloys keeping your mind safe from the foulness of the Witch! Order now, and you will get a 2% discount on the optional Psyocculum modification, allowing the tactical read-outs provided by your helmet's machine spirit to also display the presence of psykers and the foul entities of the Warp!

Ps. Light sources the Soriritas generally carry are usually provided by their disproportionate love for flamer weapons. :D
I forgot about the spy-dampener at all. I remember that they have different vision types, but I admit I was mainly going with Astartes plate.

Can someone help me with how to process the damage? I am new to the system.
Mar 2, 2024 1:06 pm
Khulod says:

I second this. It should be damage on your resistance (the ticks you have) minus armor. Excess damage becomes wounds, three wounds become death?

Khulod says:

Damage goes to Resilience your total resilience = armor + resilience and then to wounds

In Dominita’s case she has 9 resilience and got hit by 10+1ED (11) = She takes 2 wounds or she can roll her toughness to instead convert those wounds to shock she rolls her toughness and every successful die reduces a wound to shock. She does not roll the wrath die for the soak test.

(Into the Combat section this goes)

Mar 2, 2024 9:14 pm
I remember one more rule that allows to turn wounds into shock instead (and you don't want to be wounded)
Quote:
You can roll Determination whenever you suffer
one or more Wounds to convert them into Shock. Roll
a number of dice equal to your Toughness. Every Icon
you roll reduces the number of Wounds you suffer by
1 and causes you to suffer 1 Shock.
Mar 2, 2024 9:20 pm
@Appalahi you have 1 faith left until you rest or the scene changes.

@Greyword that’s the rule just no wrath die

Thanks again players for bearing with me! Please let me know via DM if I can make your experience better.

10 damage - 9 Resilience = 1 wound you rolled to turn it into shock so Dominita has taken 1 shock. She can take 5 more before she is exhausted and damage will automatically go to wounds.

@therecusant Olivia only needed to make one soak roll her resistance was 9 and she took 10 damage so she just has 1 shock now that she passed. She also made the resilience test against the poison.

We are on round 2 now with just two Xenos in hiding. It’s the PCs turn and anyone can go.

It might be worth putting something in bold each time a new round of combat starts like

"Round 2!"

Otherwise having simultaneous turns can get a bit bogged down and confusing with no one knowing what's going on. I also tend to add a few bullet points to summarise the last round / give an update on enemy disposition.

(It helps if you can make it fit the tone of the game, too, but that's an added bonus.)

Mar 8, 2024 10:21 am
So, my two cents. These are no critiques, just my opinions.

We are quite many people, and some of us have had some moments of high activity. However, I believe that we go fast because the DM is very fast. What drives the story is not if two characters have a moment of discussion or interaction, but the DM. Maybe we could try to maintain a similar speed for unimportant replies, but, instead, space more the important replies for everyone to act?

My though on game peace. I like posting peace. I am a bit uncomfortable with the amount of narrative progress though.
[ +- ] Example

On the other hand I do believe DM has a good intent and is skipping scenes that would be less entertaining for players, so I don't complain and support current approach.

P.S. Is it proper for a tech priest to say "what's most interesting". I though they lack human emotions
Mar 8, 2024 7:03 pm
Krondo hasn't replaced his amygdala with cybernetics yet. So, he remains excited at the prospect of analysing data and extrapolating results. But, there are Magos out there who would do that in order to better analyse data and increase their efficiency through cold logic. Infact, I think there is a talent that let's you become fearless or something. I will have to check.

Just FYI you're not sure how many Scouts in the Planetary Defense Force are still alive. You saw one tortured to the point that killing him was a kindness and another just beginning to get tortured. The other's fates are unknown, but likely in the next room.

Mar 16, 2024 12:01 pm
Okay, I guess we should discuss the scenario. Out of the two scouts we can probably salvage one which is getting skinned alive. Krondo has medical mechadendrite, so I guess he has some anaesthetic to knock out the scout and bandage his wound. If it seems bad, he can amputate the arm and somehow save the scout. The other one is fused and I am guessing the sisters will designate it as mutant and burn it down. So, what does the party think they should do. I want to save the scout that is skinned. If so, we will have to take out the Drukhari torturer first. Krondo can disable the device and hopefully save him. Thoughts?
Mar 16, 2024 1:27 pm
Sounds like a good plan to me, Tech Priest!
Mar 16, 2024 1:29 pm
I was thinking of vaporizing the torturer, although I'd say a Drukhari prisoner is still dangerous.

Would the blast hit the scout too?

I’d say that’s a perfect scenario for a roll of 1 on the wrath die. Otherwise they will be fine.

Right. I think I need to reload after this shot, though
Mar 17, 2024 11:10 am
I'm back from my vacation. Where are we at? Is it a combat already? Do I read it correct that there is

1) Alive Ape-Human creature in a cage.
2) Three Drukhari who pretend to ignore our intrusion
3) Aeldari Titan (it is a Titan, isn't it? How much our PCs are supposed to know about them? Based on narrative I assume out PCs don't know what's a Holo-Field)
Mar 17, 2024 1:41 pm
Is it a Titan? I assumed it was a wraith guard with a dispersion field, I'm not sure a titan could fit inside a ship. Also, why is a wraith guard here in the first place, since Drukhari don't have access to the spirit circuit
Mar 17, 2024 1:51 pm
wraith guard.. ok I know so little it appears. Question dismissed

Don't know much about the Drukhari lore, but could it be that it was raided from the Corsairs? Wraith Guard houses an Aeldari soul inside, which controls the construct like a living person, right?

The Drukhari love tormenting their Aeldari cousins nearly more than they do Mon-keigh

Stalker05 says:
OOC: Is the Drukhari dead? The one who is torturing the scout by flaying his skin? If it's dead, I will use my action to heal the man.
Indeed what's the result of my attack? I rolled 9, 8 and 5 icons respectively. With DN penalty of 4 I would believe first two hit and last missed. Making 12 damage on each hit is probably enough to kill both (including one torturing the scout), but that's for DM to tell

I'm also suprised @Kaneda_Shepard rolled 11d6 on damage. I read Ripper Gun has damage of 11 + 2 ED. It means 11 base damage and you roll 2 D6. And due to Brutal if you roll 3 it is still and icon and 5 is Exalted just as 6. That's how I understand it.
Mar 21, 2024 12:53 am
Wrath will likely restore after the ship. Additionally, if you meet any of your objectives you gain 1 wrath. I didn’t check on what those objectives were, but in some cases they aren’t too difficult to meet.

Mar 22, 2024 10:10 pm
ooooooook, yeah I'm trying to figure out combat still haha, so that roll was based on something that was written online and I took from it that the number 11 was the pool of dice that you rolled. But having the 11 being base damage and ED being the extra dice rolled makes more sense, just use the two first rolled.

I was having a blast in a Warhammer server... And the one admin started godmodding. I spent last night receiving assurances about it was a give and take, it was going to be shared, cooperative, etc... And then I wake up with a person describing what happens during 3 days with absolutely no qualms and possible nuance. Not even a menace. It simply happened.
Mar 25, 2024 3:15 pm
I try not to do that. Hopefully you have a better time here.

I added the defense targets for the two NPCs left. It should be clear that the reprogrammed wraithguard is more deadly (area attack) and you might want to seize initiative. This will be the last battle on the ship, there will be some role playing and then you will regain resources
Mar 25, 2024 10:20 pm
Ok, so what would I roll if I were to throw a grenade?

I believe I got the damage down, 12 +4 ED and my range would be 24 because of my STRx4.
Mar 26, 2024 12:17 am
@Kaneda_Shepard a grenade launcher would be ballistic skill. Just throwing the grenade would be weapon skill.

No more Drukhari left. One PC may still go before the wraithguard. If you have any wrath left, you might want to sieze initiative after that.

I actually don't know how reloading works in this game. The only thing I could find relating to reloading was if you fired fully automatic, and thus salvo, but otherwise it's vague. Does anyone have more detail on that?
Mar 28, 2024 4:57 pm
Let me explain how this work in 2.1. But wait for DM to confirm if it works the same in this game
Quote:
In Wrath & Glory you don’t need to keep track of every round you fire
Your ammo is unlimited. You only need to be reloaded when:
a) You use any of "Salvo options" during your attack
b) You roll 1 on the Wrath Die during combat and suffer complication type "out of ammo"

Dark Eldar can't use the warp anyway, but a Ordo Xenos Inquisitor particularly zealous could consider our scout friend tainted by xeno exposure. And I really don't want blasting inquisitors with my multi-melta if I can avoid that

Warp drives on a DA ship?

While I love the IC banter I caused... I thought it would be Krondo's duty and area of expertise. I wanted to include the character. I'm laughing now

@Stalker05 Not from the Aquilla Lander since the PDF are in close quarters and able to listen in.

EDIT: Ahh, with the situation as it is Krondo can reach the base and contact the sister superior ensuring that no one else, other than those in the Aquilla Lander, will get the encrypted communique. There are actual cog assistants to the Sister Superior that will patch him in.

Do we have to murder the survivors to ensure discretion?

They are Planetary Defense Forces so a threat or just your authority should be enough to keep them quiet.

It's a very good thing we are playing a noblebright campaign with very little grimderp and smarter characters than the 40k norm...

Once again, my characters thoughts do not represent my own!

See this is something I disagree with. I understand we're playing a brighter campaign, but I personally like the darkness of the 40k universe. While I wouldn't use the same logic for anything irl, I'm also inclined to ask is it derp or dumb (in universe) to eliminate risk when even minor mistakes with corruption and threats can mean the deaths of millions if not more? I'd say it's smarter not to take chances...

40k also goes a lot by case by case. You could get a slap on the wrist or you could be killed. However, normally, forces that face Xenos hardly suffer the same destiny forces that face Chaos can get. So I think this is perfectly in character, for the moment. The scouts could still get killed, or to use a 40k term, culled

Also! I didn't have Domitia speak because I believe this was another character's turn to shine

Am I missing something? Are you discussion killing PDFs we had a direct ordered to rescue (wasn't rescue the only reason our presence were required ?)

As much as I understand we are request to "provide the evidence ", are we not? I don't remember as a player of we found any evidence suggesting governor is bad, bet then again I may not know what is supposed to be bad in 40k

Yeah, I thought it'd be something like that! I just figured it'd be in character to have a reaction like that from Cassia, as I said not reflective of Tickettbror's thoughts. :p

One of posts mentioned that there had been some communications between xenos and Governor

The Inquisition is going to want that from the Governor’s Cogitator or through other evidence. Basically this next scenario is a bit less guns (though they might come in) and a bit more finding the evidence. Sure, you can just crash in, accuse the governor, and execute him on the spot but, you’re going to want to have enough evidence that the other nobles and the population don’t just revolt.
Apr 24, 2024 8:32 am
I had a sore throat and fever for the past 2 days and am still recovering. Sorry for any posting delay. Damn! Poor Krondo is going to face some serious authority in the next investigation.

All, sincere apologies for my absence of late. I have had pressing familial and business matters that have eaten away my leisure time. I will be able to properly re-engage from the start of next week.

I'm sorry if I've caused any inconvenience

Thanks for your patience
May 2, 2024 3:08 pm
No worries. We're a bit slow at the moment. Hopefully things pick up.

I gave a few options for what you might do. It is, of course, up to you.

May 9, 2024 6:08 pm
Maybe I should have stuck with combat encounters?
May 9, 2024 7:03 pm
I am guessing the party should determine the plan of action by discussing how to approach this. The GM has given us few avenue regarding the underworld, the Mechanicus or direct approach to the Governor's office. But, the Operation would be run by planing of Sister Cassia. Wouldn't it be nice to do a scene where we plan our approach?
May 11, 2024 3:50 pm
I'd appreciate doing a planning scene. I've been away with no internet this past week, but I'm back now. Are we waiting on me to move us along?
May 11, 2024 5:07 pm
You can start. I am waiting for any Sister to start the planning.
May 14, 2024 9:37 pm
Yay! I’m liking the way this is going.

Krondo: Roll resistance TN 15
What's a resistance roll ? And did you mean DN 15? I would like to believe it is not, game suggest that 12 is max cap and give an example of actions like "Intimidating a daemonhost".
OOC:
Bigby will be able to put that together with the others and find the same pattern they have with the missing bodies.
Do you mean that information is useless for me unless the Sisters decide to share the info they have got with Bigby ?
May 29, 2024 7:19 pm
Since this seems to be like a technical thing where a malignant code is trying to erase my memory, can I use tech to roll for resistance? I searched the book but didn't find any resistance roll. By rolling 6 on wrath dice, do you perhaps mean gaining Glory point? Wrath points are mainly awarded by GM and by completing objectives.
Last edited May 29, 2024 7:20 pm

That DN should have been 12. I was typing with a chunk missing from my finger so I mistyped twice sorry. Yes, you can use a tech roll.

Also yes I mixed up wrath and glory. You can also gain wrath by completing your personal objectives.
May 30, 2024 3:07 pm
Binary chatter lets me converse with machine spirits and mechanical construct. Since I am being invaded by code, can I like use this to defend myself, because I should at least know some kind of signal is coming towards my cogitator brain.

May 30, 2024 3:23 pm
I know, I am asking a lot but is our Wrath pool refreshed after the initial mission? I really don't want to fail the roll.

To the same end, is our faith pool reset for those that have faith powers? (Also, has anyone been tracking our glory points?)
May 31, 2024 7:44 pm
Yes wrath and faith were refreshed at the beginning of the mission.

I think you have 3 glory and I am out of ruin….for the moment
Jun 2, 2024 1:51 pm
Can I melta the bastards?
Jun 2, 2024 3:15 pm
Killing them now won't bring us closer to knowing who is running all the operations. Stay your guns Sister Jurgena. When we find out the entire network, you can bet that there will be more than enough enemies to slag with your meltas.
Jun 11, 2024 5:47 am
Players, DM - I just want to let you know that unless we have a plan to make this game at least a few posts per week again, I'm going to leave the game.
Jun 11, 2024 4:36 pm
We need the gm for this. She may be busy
Jun 12, 2024 1:10 am
Sorry I was ill the last couple days.

Where are you headed next I’ll put the scene there.
Jun 12, 2024 5:46 am
The way I see it, we could probably capture a higher up in the ministry and interrogate him/her to get about all the information or we could investigate the location where the xenos were taking away all the laborers.
Last edited June 12, 2024 4:16 pm

I'd say location
Jun 12, 2024 7:32 am
Yeah, location seems the preferable choice. If we went for a kidnapping we'd be making ourselves kind of obvious and giving any potential villains a scapegoat to pin disappearances on.
Jun 25, 2024 2:57 pm
I think with interest drop off I might need to cancel this and try again with a different idea. Ill work on something more interesting and see what I can do.
Jun 25, 2024 7:03 pm
That's a pity. I was looking forward to have my PC reinforced by the sisters who seemed to make good progress with their investigation.
What I remember from my previous game - the out of combat investigation were always confusing and only worked with very strong DM's railroading.
Jun 26, 2024 6:23 am
I apologize if I missed posting a few days. I was a bit busy IRL. But, I am liking this storyline and I would love to play it. I have proposed a plan to take down this investigation and I would like to follow it.
Jun 26, 2024 7:38 am
I'm not too fussed either way, but I think we were all waiting on the GM to move us on. The thing about investigation scenes is it's hard to judge when people are done chatting or not, but if you're unsure just ask. :)
Jun 26, 2024 6:29 pm
Alright. I'll keep it moving on. I'll try and do better with the ahh tracks...
Jun 29, 2024 9:20 pm
I was busy too.

He opens the shrine and shows you items you’ve seen. Drukhari weapons or more the results of them, tiny needles and monofilament wires.

More and more things are pointing at the Minister of Defense, Minister of Labor, and the Governor. You’ll need to actually get in to start questioning one of them
Excuse me for lack of intelligence. The conclusion doesn't seem so obvious to me as player. Is this a correct understanding:
Minister of Defense has the duty to report Evidence of Drukhari attacks to the sisters but they did not?
Minister of Labor has the duty to investigate/protect people, but they don't?
The Governor .... hmm what about the Governor, can't even imagine what is the direct conclusion about the Governor

I agree; I was/will post this in character but my first thought is why wasn't this reported to the arbities on a local level? Then would the Minister of Defence even know about this? (It'd have to go a long way up the chain to get to governing level, I'd understand if we found a raider or venom, but just a few weapons?) - I'd say it's more a direct indication of local corruption / concessions.

As for the Minister of Labour. Sure the disappearances might've been flagged up to her attention, but since she deals with planetary levels we might find more information elsewhere. She'd just know where disappearances were happening. It's very coincidental to think of a governmental conspiracy here.

And then the Governor, well maybe he'd have the most implications given he's already had shady dealings with Drukhari potentially exposed but given we don't have a direct link of this evidence to him it'd be a big jump to use it against him.
Jul 3, 2024 10:00 pm
Krondo has direct evidence that the Minister of Defense corrupted a number of the Tech-Priests or someone claiming to be him.

You have the missile too. So there’s someone in Defense.

Then there’s a lot of suspicious stuff around Labour but no direct evidence.

1: The minister of Labor, Defense and the governor are working together.

2. The minister of labor and defense are working together

3. The minister of defense is responsible with some people in the ministry of labor helping

4. A group of cultists (or just heretical people who want whatever the Drukhari are giving them) in the employ of Defense and Labor could be doing it under the radar of their superiors.

5. Something similar?

The best place to find them is going to be at the proper ministry where you can get some of them in a room or talk to some lower level functionaries and work up.

I’ll remove my suggestion in the post and leave these options here.
