IC Thread and Character List

[Twinwolf]

I'm going to PtW this, since I was in the last PbP Dark Heresy game you posted. Will make the character when I have access to a computer.

I'll make someone who isn't in charge of talking this time 

Spoiler: Character! (click to show/hide)

NAME: Kalta
GENDER: Female
Appearance: This. Although with a lasgun rather than a sword and laspistol.

Background:
Kalta’s background is relatively unimportant. She was born on a Forge World, Metrone, and worked the factories her whole life up until she was age 23. The Forge World became unviable when an Ork filled Space Hulk crashed into the planet. While the higher ranking members of society, the tech priests and such, were transferred to another Forge World, the factory working caste were all drafted into the Guard. Kalta was part of the 34th Metrone Infantry Regiment. This specific regiment was chosen by one radical-leaning Inquisitor for personal use. Kalta was “lucky” enough to be made an Acolyte by the inquisitor, when she was the sole survivor of her squad after an operation.
She pays respect to both the Omnissiah, as one would expect of one from a Forge World, and the Emperor, so as not to be shot by an overzealous priest.


Corruption / Insanity 0 / 0

Initiative: 1d10+3

Movement: Half-Move: 3m / Full-Move: 6m / Charge: 9m / Run: 18m (Use your agility bonus and compare it to the table on p.245. If you don't have the book, I'll do it.)

Max Carrying/Lifting/Pushing Weight: 36 kg |  72kg |  144kg (I'll calculate these using the sum of your Strength and Toughness bonuses. If you wanna do it yourself, the table is on p.248.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homeworld: Forge World
Bonus: +Int, +T, -Fel. Aptitude: Int. Omnissiah's Chosen: A forge-world character starts with either 'technical knock' or 'weapon-tech'.

---
Background: Imperial Guard

Bonus: Hammer of the Emperor: When attacking a target that an ally has attacked since the end of the Guardsman's last turn, the Guardsman can re-roll any ones or twos on the damage dice.

---
Role: Assassin:

Bonus: Sure Kill: In addition to the normal uses of Fate Points, when an assassin successfully hits with an attack they may choose to spend a Fate Point to inflict additional damage equal to the degrees of success on the first hit the attack inflicts.
---
Divination: Violence solves everything. Increase this character's Weapon Skill or Ballistic Skill characteristic by 3. Reduce his Agility or Intelligence characteristic by 3. Already factored in.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

I'd love to join but I'm extremely newbish to this game so I would definitely need some help.

[Dustan Hache]

Injury and despondence set the stage for heroism... Or cowardice.

In. Will post sheet later.

[Twinwolf]

I think, having recently read "All Guardsmen Party", I'm going to pick a Guardsmen for background. Also, are we rolling stats or are we doing something else?

[ATHATH]

In!

Learning system...

[ATHATH]

Ok, I can't hover over stuff while I'm on my phone, so I'm gonna have to finish building my character at home. So far, I'm a Psyker with 34 Willpower (is that good for a Psyker?), and I apparently lack something called "Emperor's Favor". I'm trying to dump all of my boosts into Int and Will, because they seem important for someone who's going to be channeling (is that the correct term?) Warp.

I have a feeling that I'm not going to last long...

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'd be interested, if you're willing to have another noob.

[Cheesecake]

All noobs are welcome with open arms!

Also, are we rolling stats or are we doing something else?

Should have mentioned this in the OP, but we're using the point-buy system. This is how it works: select your homeworld first (it determines your characteristic modifiers). Each Characteristic starts at 25 (changed to 30 for a +Characteristic or a 20 for a -Characteristic). You have 60 points to distribute to these Characteristics (1 point spent raises a Characteristic by 1). You cannot increase beyond 40 at this stage.

A bit complicated, I know, but bear with me. Also, please use Myth-Weavers.

Spoiler: Example for point-buy (click to show/hide)

Here is Wolfgang, a Feral Worlder. (Feral World confers +Strength, +Toughness and -Influence.)

Start:
WS: 25
BS: 25
S: 30
T: 30
A: 25
I: 25
P: 25
W: 25
Inf: 20

Then you allocate your 60 points.

End:
WS: 40
BS: 40
S: 40
T: 40
A: 35
I: 25
P: 25
W: 25
Inf: 20

So far, I'm a Psyker with 34 Willpower (is that good for a Psyker?), and I apparently lack something called "Emperor's Favor".

I have a feeling that I'm not going to last long...

Using the point-buy system, I suggest your Willpower be at least 40 (unless you like daemons as much as I do ). Do you mean Emperor's Blessing? When you roll for that, if you roll equal to or higher than the target defined by your homeworld, you gain an extra Fate point. I'll roll for this, as well as for other stuff that needs to be rolled.

Don't worry, no psyker lasts long :p

I will also post some more links to useful sites in OP.

[Twinwolf]

Could you perhaps also add a character sheet template?

[Cheesecake]

Could you perhaps also add a character sheet template?

They've got a Dark Heresy sheet in Myth-Weavers. Link up in the OP. (Something I should've used for the last game. Keeping track of the sheets was part of the reason I gave up...)

[Twinwolf]

The mythweavers sheet doesn't seem to be second edition, considering that there are no "Careers" in the character creation.

[ATHATH]

Is there an option for point-buy in the character generator that you gave us?

Is the cap 40+base, or just 40?

[Twinwolf]

You can manually edit the rolls. I've been using the first roll slot for the homeworld bonus/malus, and the second for the points you put in.

Hrm. You're right.... I still have the old character sheets here somewhere, so I'll use those as a template.
