I really need to update Aria's sheet. Thing is I have no idea how many points she has for stats or skills and things have changed so much since she was made.

When was it last updated?

I don't know. A long time ago. this is the most recent sheet a search of her name shows, but I might have missed one?

Looks like she hasn't been updated since we fought the dragon in 002's Keep. Cause that's when she got a Gauss.

[Twinwolf]

Hm. Was sure that I'd updated it with the gauss at some point... so yeah, really out of date.

[~Neri]

I'd recommend skimming through the recommended reading section in the new thread and checking for however much xp VK handed out from post mission stuff.

Racial Abilities
-Some Goblins are Orcs: 1/3rd of Goblins are born as Orcs. This is a natural part of life. However obviously it’s painful for the Goblin mother birthing the Orc in question. A baby that size isn’t exactly fun to give birth to.
-Dreams of the Mad God: Goblins dream of many things. Of Contraptions. Of Fire. Of Lightning. Of Steam. Of spiraling towers filled with the mad tinkerings of their race. Most Goblins dream of one of these things. That is their Clan. A Goblin innately is skilled in that which their Clan is. (+4 to any roll relating to construction or activities relating to their Clan. This can involve abstract applications. This does not substitute for skill. Unskilled constructions will be [Unreliable] and on GM Discretion will malfunction in whatever way seems hilarious at the time. A skilled Goblin will have significantly more luck in preventing whatever the insane contraption they’re constructing from gaining [Unreliable] compared to an unskilled goblin.)

Backstory:
The Gurbrak Clan of Lightning had survived these times of Clockwork and Fire dominance through a special sort of trade that most others would call theft and sabotage. When able to, the Gurbrak clan scouted for clans of Clockwork and Fire and "traded" with them before seeking their fortunes elsewhere in a hurried fashion, using their spoils to help develop their own works and to seek further "trade" with their Goblin and Orc brethren when not solely occupying other lands.

Ratodx is a "trader" of Gurbrak Clan who started life off decently enough in the Tamoren family. You fought for your food, you fought for your bed, and you fought for whatever you wanted to be yours. As Ratodx was not the strongest, he sought to be the sneakiest, allowing him to fight in his own ways. That his Gift From The Mad God helped in this endeavor was something he well appreciated, at least once the Shaman taught him enough control to stop himself from glowing as bright as the moon.

Though normally his Gift meant that he would be left to a life of hermitage and learning more about his Gift, far enough away so as to not blow up a significant part of the Clan, Gurbrak saw his potential for "trading" and threw him into the Merchant Caravan as soon as he had some control over his Gift. From there he was taught how to be a proper "trader" including how to try bluff oneself off as a Clockwork or Fire Clan Goblin, and was briefly trained and armed with a Clockwork Clan Pistol, which he used to decent effect in his first few "trading" runs.

When Akras first began setting up, Gurbrak sent a "trading" group to try to raid one of their patrols. Ratodx was part of that group. That they weren't all slaughtered at once is something that Ratodx still doesn't know the reason of, though he's more than glad to accept the offer of a position in Akras, especially considering that he was part of the third who survived the initial fire.

Personality:
Ratodx has about the standard goals of most goblins. Accumulating the influence and means necessary to be top dog, or at least as top a dog as possible without being seen as a threat to those who could crush him like an egg. Being a grunt for Akras looked to be better than a grunt for Gurbrak, and Ratodx is more than happy to help Akras exploit his former clan for any profit they can manage.

His recent encounter with E17 has left him rather raddled at the moment and will likely encourage more defensive decisions in the future.

I'll try to keep a record of Squad Funds in my sheet as well, just to keep more paper trails on it.

Ratodx would care significantly more about the ease of access of so many vital resources and comforts, but right now he's rather bothered by the ringing monkey screams that he hopes won't follow along into his dreams.

Reserti still has shit-crazy credits left. 19 unspent at character creation and 21 now.

[~Neri]

In all honesty. The best shit is self made. We dun have enough stuff to blow our money on. Hence the slowly being written catalog. Should give more options.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

If you need assistance with figuring out the pricing of things I'm willing to lend a hand as needed. Least I can do is look up the cost of military tech and then divide by 250 where possible.

Money wise, my goal for Ratodx is to get him what he needs to survive until he can start firing lasers and gets the skills he needs to start making his own gear. So armor and basic weaponry.

Which reminds me, you may want to consider a section including basic mass produced wards and enchantments for Agent use and/or purchase. Ratodx wasn't kidding when he asked about Akras having anti-possession gear.

[Insanegame27]

Can confirm. Am going ham on catalog. *vomits* much bet-BLEURG.


Something has been irking me. The fukken SMG and the 4.73 carbine. As paraphrased in the doc:

The SMG has a higher calibre than the basic carbine AND a higher power cartridge than it (5.56x45 vs 4.73x33). Is this intentional and if so, why? The higher calibre and higher power cartridge is also cheaper (3C for 45 5.56x45mm vs 6C for 50 4.73x33mm)

I statted up a bullpup AR as a median point between the 4.73 carbine and the MAG. Here's what I'm proposing. Scrap the 4.73. Really. No use for it. When an SMG has a higher calibre AND a higher power cartridge than a rifle, you know the rifle's not gonna do much. ALTERNATIVELY, restat the SMG to a .45 ACP (11.43x23mm), which tears unarmored targets a new asshole closerange, minor bruising (if that) at longer range. I have suggested in the doc to turn the SMG into a .45 ACP, and lowering the magazine size to 25 as opposed to 45.

[~Neri]

Basic Agent armor comes with 5 monkey strength standard pattern wards. Aka somewhat effective but not very good. a comparison is D001 plates vs Kevlar. Anything stronger usually involves self modification or custom commission. However I'll add a price for stronger stuff later.

Enchantments outside Heatsink Stones are purely custom. Could prolly come up with a number of purchasable ones though.

The carbine is mainly there as something for the GM to use for statting Terran forces. We could mark "Obsolete Surplus" next to it tho

If larger calibre was better, we'd still be at .75 caliber flintlock muskets.

The .45 may have been great in cowboy and gangster times but it's pretty obsolete in anything with full auto; it's more of a mark of the Americans' unholy love affair with it and of their industrial base more than for real merits. Note that for everyone else, on both sides of the iron curtain, the 9×19mm was considered good enough and eventually overkill.
More recently even, the FN P90's 5.7×28mm has greater range, accuracy, and terminal performance than the older 9×19mm standard and is capable of penetrating body armor.

[~Neri]

And as it is. Akras is beginning the transition to much more accurate and devastating lasers. Not to mention Gauss.

[Maegil]

Isn't it time to get a proper wikia running?

[~Neri]

One thing at a time. There's a TV tropes page that needs fleshing. And the catalog.
