Looking like a university researcher type who does a lot of field work likely as part of a corporate orinternational consortium to study new ecosystems (xeno -chemistry, -geology, -biology). Lots of paper work to do. Accidents happen so he has some medical training and can shoot a gun (though probably not hit the target) Last edited August 21, 2024 3:51 pm

I want to say I don't mind, but given that I've never run this system before, let's stick with the way things are laid out. However.... just because you have those skills on paper doesn't mean you need to USE them. It's always an option to simply not make a check at all if you feel it's in-character.
Aug 21, 2024 9:06 pm
I was just sticking to the proposed Wey-Yu model. They always start with no emotions, then through trauma they develop conviction.
For instance Deckard when he realizes he is a replicant become the plucky hero. And David becomes the ruthless villain when he realizes he only has a few months of life left.
Its a one shot so neither of those things needmust be. It would be fun to set him up as the villain.

I don't think there's a lot of room in the scenario for a villainous PC. The death has already happened after all. However, there is still a good way to get the emotionless side out. When you make a check, you have to choose an approach (details in the character info thread). You can play up the emotionless angle by never choosing the right-hand column for your approach, and failing into that column when possible.
For instance, if you were to interrogate someone, you could choose to do it Boldly or Carefully, and then if it fails, fail by not being Insightful or Discreet.

okay, so a couple things I wasn't quite clear on. Sorry, sometimes I think I'm explaining things well and I'm not.
1) The skills you spend your points on are the listings under the specialties. So you could have, for instance, 2 in Striking and 1 each in Dynamic Shooting and Wilderness Survival. Then, if you took Combat as your trained specialty, you'd boost Striking to 3 and Grappling and armed combat would both go from 0 to 1.
2) For Academic, it's the same. The main topics are just sort of groupings to make the specific choices easier to find. Your academic choices should be the individual topics.

I don't think we're going to get more interest in this, so it's just the two of you. If that's cool, great. If not, that's okay.

Aaaaand it has come to my attention that I am, in fact, wrong on skills/specialties. I'm sorry. First time with the system and all. *sigh* Let's rewind.
@CESN had it right the first time. You spend your skill points on the main headings, so Computers, Science, Medical, etc. Then you get an additional +1 to three individual skills. The individual ones are the 'specialties'. Again, sorry for the confusion and extra work.

If you want to go ahead and throw up a sheet with your character's name on it, I'm going to type up our intro. We can play while that stuff gets fixed. Might not be the last thing I misunderstand, anyway.

Notes
The foundation of the action check: a specific action a character attempts to realize their intent. The skill most relevant to the action is used as the modifier for the check
-- Specialty: The character has or lacks a relevant specialty
-- Push: Exert themselves (take Stress or Fatigue) to gain an advantage
-- Assistance: An ally exerts themself to help OR advantage from a previous Critical
-- Condition: Any condition that would help or hinder this action
-- Equipment: Having appropriate or insufficient gear for the action

APPROACH
Notes
Notes
Always a single adverb from the list of approaches. It sets the priority or style of the action and provides input over the outcomes. If a character is using one of their preferred approaches, they roll with one bonus advantage for the action. Approaches must make sense with the context of the chosen action; not all approaches will be compatible with all actions.

Okay, so before we dive in, lemme just talk about rolls real quick.
Your base is 2d10.
You'll add Advantage for the following:
-- Having the relevant specialty trained.
-- Exerting yourself and taking Stress/Fatigue.
-- Having help.
-- Positive circumstances.
-- Having needed gear.*
You'll add disadvantage for:
-- Lacking the relevant specialty.
-- Having someone actively opposing you.
-- Negative circumstances.
-- Lacking needed gear.*
* If a check doesn't normally need gear you don't think about this.
Advantage and disadvantage cancel each other out, so if you have 2 Adv. and 2 Dis. you'll just roll 2d10. If you end up with dis/advantage, you'll roll that many extra dice, and then keep the highest two for adv or the lowest two for dis. After you've taken the two you want, if there's any tens, keep the 10 and roll again; if you have any ones, take -10 and roll again.

Panic dice result from crit fails, save fails, and encountering anything unnatural.
Aug 26, 2024 6:42 pm
I also need to give you your save values and your stamina (physical health) and focus (mental health).
Your Stamina is equal to Body+Reflex.
Your Focus is equal to Nerve+Logic.
You can spend Focus as stress and Stamina as Fatigue to gain advantage. Generally you'll spend stress for Nerve/Logic and fatigue for Body/Reflex.
These are health pools too though, so you are pushing yourself closer to exhaustion when you use these.

@Jomsviking - I can't see your character yet, so let me know when you've got it and we'll get going.

@CESN - Just to clarify the clarification: You'd specialize in Research, Fieldwork, or Labwork rather than science.

Also, @alepous will be joining us so if we're ready before they are, I'll let you have a bit of RP on the ship before we get to the station while they're taking a shower.

We had a bit of a morph here as it seems that you want to investigate undercover. This is fine, but the original scenario called for a public investigation, so I will try to morph the scenario along with you. If I cannot, I'll call out what's changed and why so you can fit it into your investigation. I hope that won't be necessary, just don't know for sure. PS: just noticed the Union Hall on the map. They probably need to approve my application and they are the one asking for the investigation right? Maybe it's not undercover but just a easier way to give me access to the facilities?
