If Lyra has arms/hands functional enough to use delicate medical equipment, I think grabbing a dude's arm and pulling shouldn't be too difficult. Not like there are so many people pulling she'd get in the way of other people. But true, such concerns of realism are often secondary when there's players to maim.

Guys, if MCP-I is skin-tight, Civic Defender's longcoat can be worn over it, right?

You could wear the longcoat over a MKI if I recall correctly. Wouldn't be a very good longcoat if it was also skintight, right?

Well, the way I read the skill levels is:

0: you are pleasingly maimable.

-1: you're definitely asking for it.

-2: piecewise eagerly awaits the moment you try and use this skill.

Especially given that 0 means unskilled, essentially.

Given that Xan using a thing at -1 aux led him to use up all his fuel and fly off in a random direction at several hundred miles an hour, yeah.

-snip-
I agree, except 0 also means "might have potential"/"innocent of ineptness"/"neither good nor bad": you are also safely non-maimable (about the same base chance as maimable, I'd say; definetly more than with -1 or -2).

In one of his talks, PW specifically said that he would kill you on a four with a negative 2, he then went on to say that he would 'kill you on a five with a negative two you cheapskate bastards.'
Apparently PW doesn't like min-maxers.

Too bad Heph people never have to roll for anything.

But they also don't get points as far as I know, so they can't really improve their skills if they've never gone on a mission.

I do support Saint becoming "the other Steve", by the by. He seems evil enough.

Anton deliberately avoids handling artifacts mostly for IC reasons, but at least partially so that he doesn't accidentally kill himself trying to work an alien hedge trimmer with his -2 Exo, just in case there are still some rolls for us Heph people. :P

why do i get the feeling im not gonna get to be lazy on ship for much longer?

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Looting is not even second nature to Auron. It's basically his first. Why exactly is he not eager to go collect debris from an exploded spaceship?

He's got probability sickness from blinking out of M19 like he did. Doesn't want to push his luck as a result.

@ not dragging pplz around: my stats
-1 str and -1 end make lifting and carry heavy objects into a Bad Idea.

I'd much rather you used your amp, instead, but I'm not asking that IC because Hasala has decided not to bother trying with Lyra or Flint. He's not really expecting you to help him get out from under the jeep, either, which is exactly what you're not doing. :P I'm not lifting the entire jeep like you suggested OOC because I've used my amps a few times already, and I have no desire to run out of mind points. Applying the force to lift it slightly should be easier than completely lifting the entire thing.

As for not taking the time to write up a text message, your latest body is mechanical, IIRC. Those have instant text messaging systems that don't require limbs at all.
