"It not worth it to pull out a weapon."

Uppercut it

"Go to sleep!"

[wolfchild]

Assuming Crow mentions the plan help him, otherwise be a coward

[scapheap]

Punch the sloth, right hook.

[Fortis]

There. Gravity generator detected. Older model, but he had seen it once or twice during his work before the collapse. And there was the emergency shutoff lever he had expected as well. It was beyond his reach, not without dragging a table over or something, and he doubted it would hold the weight of his metal body. There was another way though.

"Command: Talna! Let Hawk distract the animal! I require your assistance!" CRO-2234-W said, kneeling underneath where the shutoff lever was. "Climb onto my shoulders. I will lift you up. Behind the ceiling panel, there is a lever marked 'emergency shut down'. Pull it, and gravity will shut off in the local area. We can strand the creature in midair."

Take the hit and use a 1 KP kinetic choke on the thing after getting away from it

[wolfchild]

I thought we had to find em during play, that said I think we have found one, (Find out who owned this beast/ find out what is going on in this ship)

Talna stays on all fours, panting heavily for a while

I'd like to join, but with those stats I don't think I'll be particularly good at anything.
I'd play a medic, because it's clear you guys could do with one, but an 11 intelligence doesn't really make that the best idea.
Constitution is my best stat, but that doesn't really clear me for any party role.
My strength is okay, I guess, so I'll probably have to be a soldier, but won't be able to use any ranged weaponry at all with that dex.
Really, though, that is an utterly crap stat set, not because it's bad on average (it is the lowest stat set of the lot, but only by a little), but because I can't think of anything I could do well with it. Could I get a reroll? If not, I'll see if I can build a pure-melee soldier without dying too much.

It not a bad set for a empath(barring active mind reading),  the meleeing diplomacer, but still, it a weak set of stats.

Grab the collar

I'd love to play an empath, and spent the last several hours thinking about my character and falling in love with the concept. Unfortunatly:
A) That wisdom is not good enough for an empath to use their abilities, as you say.
B) I just read the rules about attribute damage, specifically the part where it become permanent after 12 hours without the tender loving care of a medic, who needs to make an intelligence test to care for you. So unless you guys want to suffer brain damage every time you're tapped on the noggin (golem excluded), a medic is non-negotiable.

edit:
And the loss of any attribute will kill you. So that 4 dex? Not just a liability, but also a probable death sentence too. Compounded if there's not also a medic.

[Eagle0600]

Oh no, did I kill the thread?

[scapheap]

Oh no, did I kill the thread?

Hope not.

[scapheap]

Man, that like the anti-set.(there is no class(outlaw, maybe) that can actually make that work.)

Yeah, dice hate us.

Third time the charm?

[Eagle0600]

Okay, now I could play a medic or an empath. I guess I'd better go medic, though.
Also important to note, native language isn't determined by species, it's determined by the region you grew up in.

A  character  always begins play knowing
the  vernacular  language  of  their  home  region  or  planet.

I'll go with the languages you've picked though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Enton Sanatore
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Class: Medic
Major Ambition: Restore interstellar trade network.
Morality: Adherence 1, Consensus 4, Efficiency 2.
Languages: Human, Tassari, Oreamnos
Age: 46 (Mature)

Bio: My original idea fitted the empath more, but I'll see how it fits here.
Raised in a Tassari city before the Collapse, Enton always saw a variety of faces and travelled to many different places as he grew up. He always admired the interstellar society he lived in, but took for granted that so many different species lived harmoniously together.

When the Great War came, it shook Enton to his core. He was travelling back home at the time, and the ship he was in was boarded as it approached his home-world. Figures in masked uniforms pointed guns at the crew and searched the ship. Enton was held in a processing camp on the surface for eight days, while the soldiers questioned him about his loyalties, the contents of the ship, and other questions he couldn't answer plainly. It became clear that his planet had been annexed, but who by was unknown. Then the Tessari retaliation came. Great flashes in the sky signalled a battle for control of the space around the planet, but it only lasted a few hours. Soon, more figures, still masked and in a different uniform, presumably Tessari, freed him from the camp, only to hold him for further questioning. This only lasted a few more days before another counter-attack came, during which Enton slipped out into the outside world, only to see clearly for the first time the devastation that had been made of his home-world.

Since then, Enton ha seen that conflict only brings pain, and has done his best to end conflicts before they begin wherever he could. He distrusts authority, recalling his experiences in the war; that they work only to further their own power, rather than for the good of the people. He tells stories of the times before the Collapse, and remembers the grand scale of society wistfully. Like many, Enton wishes the Great War had never happened; like few others, he actually plans to undo it's effects. But first, he needs allies, and he needs a plan. He boards a ship bound for Prillium, hoping to speak to others there, and form an alliance.

edit:
One question: Have I ever heard of Hydaria Station? If so, I have a Minor Ambition: Find Hydaria Station.
Otherwise it's: Find information about CTF fuel production.

edit2:
Additionally, I would like to walk into the caffeteria just as the fight is ending, and have the two minor ambitions mentioned: Find out who owned the slothen, and find out what's happening onboard.

edit3:
I want to know the effects of two pieces of equipment that the rulebook fails to describe: Adrenaline Stick and Medical Pack.
I would assume that the adrenaline stick is some kind of healing potion, seeing as HP is essentially fatigue in this system. If so, how much does it heal? Damage looks like it's dealt out faster than in DnD for ranged weapons, about twice as much, so assuming it's at least a Light Healing Potion (1d8+1) shouldn't be too much, right?

Stuff I'm buying with VUs.

Item	VUs
Baton	1
Pistol	100
Pistol Bullets x5 (40)	10
Bottle of Water	2
Backpack	2
Clothing	3
Crowbar	4
Rope	5
Remaining (General Commodities/Food?)	13

A character always has 1 chance to understand a new technology
and even penalties cannot take away this chance. Additional chances may
be granted by certain factors (see bonus chances below).
...
+3 for any technology if Mature
...
+1 for any technology if Intelligence greater than 13
+1 for any technology if Wisdom greater than 13
+1 for any technology if Human
...
+1 per level for any medical technology if a Medic
...

I count 7 chances, or 8 if medical.

edit:
Unless you don't count me for the Int and Wis thresholds, in which case it's 5 and 6, and I should have only one language.

Also, I imagined the adrenaline stick as a drug with + to strength, health and dexterity but - to wisdom/intelligence. Intro scene coming tomorrow.

Hrm. I doubt it, considering it's a standard medical object worth 50 VUs, but okay.
