I see your point, but if its not friendly and I hesitate.

Well, meta-wise, that's the closet the catgirl stuffed the hostages into.

And in-game, taking a moment to enact hostile/friendly differentiation doesn't seem to cause any adverse effects and is essential. Using your logic, you could also kill a trapped team member with broken comms/without their helmet if they popped out of the closet as soon as it burst open.

Edit: Corrected writing derp.

It is sold as a glove, but it is actually a small thing the size of a stamp in the knuckles of the glove so that you can punch with it (and an on/off switch, I assume).

EDIT: Edited wiki page to add some missing info.

Odd, I believe I remember seeing somewhere that it can work with sharp weapons if you put it in the non-cutting part of the blade.

Well, obviously. But it can't amplify the cut. It can only amplify blunt force. So if you were playing DF, you'd have the standard "stab" and "slash" attacks for your sword with standard strength, but your "slap" attack would become greatly amplified.

Alright, I didn't know I could do that. I edit my action then. Thank you.

Funny thing, I actually considered the following a while ago: take a tesla sabre and combine it with my monorazor naginata. How to solve the problem of the tesla part melting the blade? By using two containment fields: one to protect the blade, and one to contain the electricity around the blade.

         /.\
       /./\.\
     /../_\..\         
    /../__\..\       
   /../____\..\     
  /../_____\..\   
 |..|______|..|
 |..|______|..|
 |..|______|..|
 |..|______|..|


 
.. = electricity
__ = blade
| & / & \ = containment field

Biggest problem is that it would be a bit expensive, and that taping a tesla sabre at the other end would be cheaper.

That's what I was thinking as well. And it isn't like we NEED to mass produce them.

Also, Gilgamesh has a long and storied career of being used as mobile cover.

The legacy of his shiny metal ass continues.

@AoshimaMichio: Just to make sure you haven't misunderstood anything, you do know those +1s your profession gives you are to rolls for those skills, not to the skills themselves, right?

It's a shame Charro didn't survive long enough to perfect his "monoatomic kinetic flail" idea.
That woulda been fun times.

So radio... you know every single piece of equipment short of my reiterpallasch is bolted to my exosuit right?

Giving it to pancake would seriously compromise my ability to defend against Anne.

I know it's unrelated, but you should probably do something about that when you get back on ship. What if it starts getting eaten by glowing green worms and you have to take it off to save yourself? You'll be left defenceless. Or, well, as defenceless as someone in a synthflesh body can be.

EDIT: Oh, you can take one of the goop throwers if you want. Although really, since Pancaek doesn't need his hands, he's better off using crutches. Are synthflesh bodies modular like robobodies? He could attach his arms to his legs if they are.

EDIT EDIT: Oh, wait, you have no Con skill, so no goop throwers for you. Maybe goop grenades?

Yes, I do know. You think I should include roll modifiers from zero stats/skills as well?

[swordsmith04]

No need for that. The templates we use on the wiki does those for you.

(If you make any changes to your character sheet before PW accepts it, please make them there, by the way. It's what PW uses, until his other space accountant finishes. )

Oh yeah, speaking of characters, pirate dude is finished except for backstory and will be ready to be used as a replacement soon.

I tried. I really tried.


So Cockroach Despair is currently eluding the authorities. That's wonderful.
