Rogue Trader (40k) [Wait Listing] [OOC]

[Carcharhinidae primari]

Wait, where did you get exceptional intelligence? I keep getting that congused with unnatural intelligence.

Also, Bred, why do I have a poor willpower? By the end of my stats, my willpower is still at a +2

If I recall what you wrote correctly, one of the willpower increases and fellowship increases only apply when you're on the ship. Those are listed under Traits.

wouldn't one willpower increase be the step to good then? I imgaine poor to be the first negative qualifier.

Right. I feel so dumb again.
I want to ask a question. What kind of test would I use to get additional information on the Emperor's bounty? I was thinking of a Trade Voidfarer test for anything about the captain. Either that or I'd like try the same test as Char just did. Maybe both.

[Bredtonia]

Technically i'd fall under Common Lore (Free Captains), Common Lore (Koronus or Calixis) might work as well. Trade (Voidfarer) has more to do with knowing how to actually perform voidship occupations. So, as your looking at an untrained check in any case:
Test: Untrained (2 base), Exceptional Intelligence (+2)
Roll: 10. Nothing comes to mind.

Awww shucks.

Pruss, you should probably post.

[Legital]

Things seem to be a little slow here. I'll work on a post to get up here when I can, but I don't have too much to say at the exact moment.

Same here, however I disappear for about five days starting bright and early tomorrow morning.

In twelve hours officially consider Bantos a GM controlled VINPC (very important NPC) until the twenty first which than I have four days before I disappear for over a whole month.

[Hetland 2]

Is anyone going to post?

[Carcharhinidae primari]

when i have time yeah. mddle of tests now.

[Lunas Legion]

By Friday at the earliest for me. I want to finish with my exams first (only 2 left).

[Morrdh]

Will do once I've had some sleep (tis 2:30am here and I've just gotten home from work).

[Slorch]

Is anyone going to post?

Maybe. Not much to write though.

New post is up. I know things have been crazy with a lot of people due to end-of-school-year issues, so I'm going to give a 1 week grace to everyone who hasn't posted anything yet, and start the dropping of players next friday.

Also, as an FYI, "Voidship Combat Strategic Turns" are half-hour turns. So feel free to eat up some time with your post. Note that despite being approximately half an hour long, you may still only perform one "Extended Action" ie ship based action per turn, such as directing the guns, manning the helm or leading a Targeted Augury. Also note that, as you've been moving to perform your search of the system, your minimum movement is 4 VU unless you take a "Burn Retros" action. You may each take an action, and your NPC crew may take up to 3 actions on their own.

[Morrdh]

OK, posted.

[Bredtonia]

Step One:
One person can/should drive the ship, even if this is just a crew use.

Step twooos:
Active Augury: Scan for hidden enemies
Focused: Augury: Figure out what's on an enemy ship
Aid the Machine Spirit: Increase Manoeuvrability or Detection
Disinformation: Increase crew morale (we're winning, honest!)
Emerpgency Repairs: Hope you won't have to use this one.
Flank Speed: Make the ship go fasta
Fire Weapons: Fire one of the guns, also an important one.
Hail the Enemy: Hi badguys.
Hit and Run: Raid an enemy ship within 5 VU
Hold Fast!: Reduce damage to morale from last turn
Jam Communications: Keep enemy from using Vox
Lock on Target: Increase effective ballistics skill
Prepare to Repel Borders!: Get bonus against enemy raiders
Put Your Backs Into It!: Increase Ballistics Skill and Emergency Repairs
Triage: Reduce populations loss.

[Hetland 2]

Aid the machine spirit. Boosting Maueverability. I'll be using my M.I.U.(which gives me a +10 to interacting with machine spirits) and utility mechadendrite(+10 to all tech use skills) Exceptional intelligence and unnatural intelligence.
Yaaaay! Tech stuff!
I will be aided by a group of Tech priests.

Quick! Disinformation! 4 times!

Quick! Disinformation! 4 times!

Three of those and one Hail the Enemy, at that point I'll see how many of Bantos' s skills he can use to simply keep them distracted (talk about underwold commence while getting a good evaluation of the amount of income one will get should they successfully raid the opponent's ship and plunder everything, inquire about the weather...).

As soon as we even sense a fight, the ship vox network starts blaring that we are winning. No one will get suspicious.

Than afterwards it will start blaring out exactly what the crew will get when we win (that's after Bantos has leached the the pirates dry of information through his various methods of making it sound like some crasy guy trying to be civil in a huge firefight).

So mine would be Hit and Run, Hold Fast!, or Prepare to Repel Borders!.
