I don't think I quite get the exp system though. I spend them on a stat boost eg +5 BS? And because heavy gunners are offense, it's cheaper? Or I can use them to buy talents?

Hmm.

Hmm.

You can use your XP to buy talents, skills, and stat boosts that are listed in the Skills, Talents, and I think maybe Characteristics sections which display base XP cost and aptitudes. Aptitudes are what make buying things with your XP cheaper, you can find what aptitudes you have from your specialization (Your Heavy Gunner so check there) and some of the regiment options you all took might add them.

Sounds like a solid set of regiment choices, anyone suggest potential history/backstory for our regiment then, or the name? Or is that yet to be decided? Also, adwarf are you able to go on IRC so I can roll out my stats?

EDIT: Never mind, I can actually just use one of those websites that let you link rolls. Unless you're extremely suspicious I'd fudge something, I'll just use that.

I don't see why someone would want to fudge rolls for one of these games. Where's the fun in munchkining?

You'd be genuinely surprised what people will try to do when you GM a game on the internet.

EDIT: Here's my dice rolls, kept rolling super high for some reason so I rolled a couple of times in order to get a stat set that wouldn't be boring. Here.

Also, who is using what specialty? And are we allowed to use stuff from the Hammer of the Emperor supplement?

DOUBLE EDIT: Just went ahead and made two characters since I didn't feel like waiting around to see who was what, one is a Sergeant the other is a Psyker.

Look there for basics of who does what.

Also, who's our Heavy Weapons Guy? The one who wanted to use flamers?

Because if you get Weapon Training Heavy, we could get a Battlecannon mounted on the Chimera. So long as we don't have more than 11 party members counting Companions.

Also, another question regarding the game. I understand there are some homebrew comrade rules added that remove the need for a comrade from a few specialties, however what about the other ones? Can we just opt out of the comrade system all together? I don't really find the idea of most of the players having to maintain a second NPC particularly engaging.

Seems there's already a Sergeant and a Psyker, so I'll just opt with something else. I'll still keep the Psyerk/Sergeant characters I made just in case something happens and someone isn't able to play anymore.

Bdthemag: Azthor is still undecided and Ghaz is in no-internet hell, so it's unclear whether or not they will actually be playing those roles. I think Ricto said he wanted to be a psyker.

Fair enough. Until then I'll just stick with Weapons Specialist until someone decides.

Yay! If you're taking the flamer, should I take the lascannon or the multilas?
Or the multimelta, I suppose.

Take melta. We need AT capability, unless we can get the Battle Cannon.

I want it for story memorability more than anything else.
