I gotta say I am really enjoying playing Rasosk. Looking foward to the next game, been thinking of exactly what the hell I'm going to do next session.

NewsMuffin, what kind of powers did your psyker have to begin with, by the way?

I gotta say I am really enjoying playing Rasosk. Looking foward to the next game, been thinking of exactly what the hell I'm going to do next session.

Hehe. I hope he does find a shuttle. I would miss the cowardly little fella.

Some skills and talents and stuff, I wrote this yesterday but never got to posting it:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So, a few I thought you might be interested in, based on what you said earlier (besides Dodge, of course, which you already have):

Skills
1. Acrobatics - will make it easier to run away if you have to parkour your ass out of somewhere. It also allows you to make a test to make the combat action "Disengage" into a Half Action. And also make a Acrobatics test instead of Agility when jumping and Strength when leaping.

2. Silent Move - Exactly What it Says on the Tin.

Apart from these there's also traditional "thiefy" skills like Security, different kind of trading skills, Climbing, stuff like that. You already have most of the social skills useful for making people not fight you, be it through Charm, Deceive, or Blather. You can increase these, of course, if Glowcat allows it.

Talents
1. Disarm - would be useful, I guess?
2. Double Team - gives you bonuses to hitting things if you're attacking with another dude.
3. Peer (Faction) - these talents give you bonuses to interaction with members different groups, but Glowcat might not let you buy this without actually spending time with members of those groups.
4. Good Reputation (Faction) - An upgrade to the Peer skill, kinda. Once again, I think you'd have to actually build a good reputation with the group to get it.
5. Lightning Reflexes - Your character is so paranoid he gets a bonus to Agility rolls.
6. Rapid Reaction - When ambushed or surprised, gets to do an Agility roll to act as normal.
7. Sprint - Can run faster/longer in one turn.
8. Step Aside - Let's you step out of the way of an attack.
9. Talented (Skill) - Gives you a bonus to the skill in question.
10. Unremarkable - Makes you less likely to be noticed when among other people.

So yeah. Most likely missed something, so it would be best if you got the books and looked through them yourself. But that's what I thought fitting.

[Yoink]

Hrm, a lot of those sound interesting! Although, are you sure I have dodge? I don't see it on my sheet... Or is it included in weapons training?

I like the look of lightning reflexes, acrobatics, sprint and step aside... The Peer talent looks good too, although not sure exactly how I'd get it with any one group.
I'm not sure how much these talents cost, though.
Also, could I take Talented with charm? Thanks for the info!

[scriver]

I didn't mean you had Dodge, I meant you had already said you wanted it - though I did think you had Dodge when I began, but then I checked your sheet and you didn't. I think you took Charm instead.

[Yoink]

Oh, right, I get it now. I probably did, don't remember. I just used the character generator, mostly.

[NewsMuffin]

Oh my that is a powerful force bolt. That would deal 1d10+10 damage. Thought that said WP bonus. Sorry. It's still more powerful than if it was just WP bonus flat, because my psy rating is 3, making that 1d10+6. I trust that since you're going back to DH Core, you'll set the power back to normal?
So, yeah, I'll get Force Bolt and Touch of Madness.
However, I'd like to ask that Touch of Madness be rolled on the Hallucinogen effects table, instead of the mental trauma table. I'd be willing to up the threshold on this from 11 to 15, because the Hallucinogen table does make the power a little more powerful.

You can use the new Force Bolt if you want. I'll also allow the Hallucinogen switch.

Awesome. I think I'll use the new ruling. I can't interchange them though, right?
Also, are you going by DH rules, in regards to the minor powers I get when I rank up my psy rating? Because going by that, I should have 8 minor powers of my choice.

[Phantom]

So, uh, one question. How exactly would Karina stay with everyone when the Rogue Trading starts? She gets signed over by the Inquisitor/a Magos? Because Skitarii are supposed to do at least one of two things:
Protect Techpriests.
And Protect Forge Worlds.


Mind you, said Techpriests aren't those menials. Like IG Enginseers.

EDIT: SSSSSSSH NIHILUS AND TITUS ARE SPECIAL. Considering that Titus is her dad, anyway.

[Glowcat]

Well, I'm not familiar with how Skitarii operate but the Warrant Cassius received grants the Rogue Trader ability to "borrow" agents for advisory positions. It's just one of those fun legal loopholes which justifies the group getting together under a reincarnated Dynasty. Rogue Traders are by definition meant to operate outside the bounds of normal Imperial Law and can get away with quite a bit and the amount they can get away with oddly correlates with the number of guns they have at their disposal.

Awesome. I think I'll use the new ruling. I can't interchange them though, right?
Also, are you going by DH rules, in regards to the minor powers I get when I rank up my psy rating? Because going by that, I should have 8 minor powers of my choice.

You can purchase the Touch separately but the Force Bolt needs to be the same. Also, no to automatic powers. You'll need to purchase the powers with XP.

[NewsMuffin]

Alright, I'll buy Touch of Madness (using the hallucinogen table) and Force Bolt, still on the fence on which one I'll use. The increased damage is nice, but I don't know if 1 extra point of damage is worth losing 20m of range.
Now I'll actually have some ranged attacks.

[Yoink]

Doesn't look like I'll really be able to make this, I'm afraid, which deeply saddens me.
At least I'm currently apart from the others to make it less difficult, but I was looking fowards to playing out my escapades...
There's a small chance I might be able to hop on once or twice for a short time, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Again, sorry. I hope I can make it at least for a while!

[Johnfalcon99977]

I will be in at around 4:00 PM. We don't normally start playing till then, so its keel.

[forsaken1111]

I have to admit I'm feeling a bit shaky about this game myself. Nothing to do with Glowcat, who is a fine DM, but with players dropping in and out it kind of breaks immersion. I feel like we have too many people as well.

[scriver]

It's very unfortunate Yoink won't be able to join us, seeming as he isn't with the group and the ship is about to blow up...

[NewsMuffin]

It's very unfortunate Yoink won't be able to join us, seeming as he isn't with the group and the ship is about to blow up...

He'll probably find a way out. I mean, what would we do without our lovable rogue? Well, maybe less lovable and more cowardly, but still.

[Phantom]

I'll be coming on at the same time as John.


When the game starts, just go make Karina try to Medicae the injured.
