Do we have a tip about the Inquisitor's ideological leaning? As a rule of thumb, the larger the amount of flamers, zealots and sororitas in the ship the closer to Monodominant they are. Or they're a very smart and very good Radical, but that's almost the same thing as far as the acolytes are concerned.

Edit: and I'm on IRC if you wanna talk DH 2nd Edition.

[UXLZ]

If their leaning is anti-radical then what's my character even doing here, as a Psyker? :v

[Caellath]

You don't need to be a Radical to have psykers amidst your acolytes, though. Even some more puritan Inquisitors may have a few simply because they believe the psykers should die a horribly gory death doing something useful - their duty to the Emperor - as a way to atone for the sin of being born with those powers.

[UXLZ]

That's why I said anti-radical, not puritan. >_>

[Caellath]

I know, but anti-radical Inquisitors can still have psykers. Anti-radical doesn't exactly mean anti-psyker since many of the higher-ups understand the importance of sanctioned psykers in the fight against Chaos.

Double post for Twinwolf: you should probably repost your character sheet so we may fix the last few details. Just from a cursory glance, I can tell you that Known Interrogation would cost you 100xp and Known Parry 200xp instead of the 400xp you have for both. 200xp buys you Trained (+10) Charm, which is a good idea to have. You don't have Weapon Training (Flame), that'd cost you 300xp.

And on a different note, the longcoat in my inventory was replaced by a cloak because I realized a bit too late that a longcoat doesn't hide a stormtrooper carapace's quite obvious helmet. My first IC post was made in accordance since I edited the sheet a bit after the GM updated the pastebin ones.

Bio: Bio: Tesera was born to a high-class family on an admittedly unimportant world. It wasn’t quite medieval, but wasn’t as advanced as many imperial worlds. All in all, you’d be forgiven for forgetting the world existed. And then the world lost contact. While yes, it was unimportant, it did house several high ranking officials of the surrounding systems at the time it lost contact, including the lord of a much more important factory world. An inquisitor who happened to be stamping out a rebellion nearby was alerted, and after about a week he reached the planet. What he found was that it had been nearly overrun by chaos cultists who worshipped a powerful daemon that had been sealed to the house of the planet’s governor. The inquisitor proceeded to massacre the cultists, until he found a group, led by Tesera, that had been fighting back since the takeover. After extensive testing, Tesera and her group were deemed uncorrupted, and taken off-world as exterminatus was called on it. Tesera was soon inducted to the inquisitor’s service.

Reposting. I think I have 200xp left, unless I made an error. Any suggestions on what to use it on?

[Caellath]

It might be good to put a section with your actual, finished sheet (Skills and Talents together). It might also be worth it taking the five points you sunk into Influence, or into Perception, and putting them in Fellowship instead since you'll be our "social" person.

As for how to spend the 200xp... Maybe Known Awareness (200xp) or Known Deceive and Known Scrutiny (100xp each) or Trained Inquiry (200xp)... Your best shot might be Clues from the Crowds, for 200xp; it's a Talents that allows you to, once per day, re-roll a test made to gather information. Good for investigations.

[Twinwolf]

Edited.

[Cheesecake]

Surprise trip and surprise exams, yay... I'll be back on Sunday to update everything and get things moving along.

[GiglameshDespair]

Everyone is hipster!

"My homeworld's pretty obscure. You've probably never heard of it."

[Caellath]

Surprise everything, apparently. Well, I'm sure we'll manage to find a way to distract ourselves. I had something good in mind in case something like this happened, now I just have to remember what it was.

Hey, Tarkhal's homeship is pretty well-known in the Askellon Sector. The Unspoken Oath is the flagship of one of the most influential Rogue Trader dynasties of the Sector.

[Caellath]

And a double post again despite the fact I dislike them.

@Twinwolf: having the Adeptus Ministorum background means you were part of the Imperium's church as a cleric, priestess or some other similar position. It also gives you some nifty background power and RP opportunities since some people are more likely to listen to you and your requests. I also cleaned up and organized your sheet a bit.

@GiglaDes: is the symbol of the order your Sister came from a stylized weeping skull?

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah.

How did you guess?

[Aseaheru]

Hey, Tarkhal's homeship is pretty well-known in the Askellon Sector. The Unspoken Oath is the flagship of one of the most influential Rogue Trader dynasties of the Sector.

I blame lack of social skills and living on a ship stuck to an asteroid. A small, unimportant ship at that.

Or I guess you could call it good social skills, as it is a good way to get people talking.
