Character customization: OOC

as you noticed some of your characters are getting item or abilities not normally available or strictly by the book. I like for people to have something of their own, that no one else is going to have and is something of a trademark or signature.

SOOOOOO...now that everyone has played with their character a while and have found it's strengths and weaknesses, I am opening up the table for personalization.

I know a few of you have tossed ideas around in regular OOC but his is specifically for the purpose of further personalization. remember it doesn't have to be anything earth shattering it could just be a style of weapon, armor, dress, personalized equipment etc...feel free to get creative.

If you would rather handle this in Private feel free to PM me your ideas, concerns, suggestions.

Re: Character customization: OOC

Well... as far as Conrad is concerned, I do have the "Iron Man" armor thats waiting to be reverse engineered.  I do also have the alien rifle that I need to reverse engineer as well.  And there is tiny as well.  But since Tiny is her own "person" I dont need to pilot it and I was hoping to have Tiny be M'Kira's little buddy side kick in combat.

But I really do enjoy where Conrad is going.  I love the idea that I have the ability to salvage stuff and acquire parts to build things.  The Technosavant class is really good.  Though I'd like to get into Technomancy, but I do see that class fitting Aziza better then me.

My downfall is that Conrad isnt set up for straight forward combat.  He does lack in that department, which Tiny will be able to off set.  But all in all, I do have quite a wide variety of useful skills and abilities.  I'm kind of in the same department as Aziza in that I need a tank to go into combat or else I'd get wasted pretty fast.  Anyways.  Thats my take at the moment.  Conrad is just a nerd who will eventually make a weapons and armor for Aziza robot army.

Re: Character customization: OOC

For Conrad...
The infiltrator class allows for improvised tools and the field scientist class allows for improvising a device... Conrad doesn't have to be built to combat... if he can make something that effectively 'works' as a weapon of his choice from just about nothing.

You can't rightly say that Macguyver couldn't hold his own with an army knife, a duct tape roll, and 'whatever else he could find on hand'.

 Well, Maran has "skates". Can she use them anywhere besides inside a ship? Are they just regular skates, or are they like wheel-less hover skates? I'd guess maybe she'd have a helmet and knee and elbow pads too? Maybe she could have something like a boomerang and maybe some super-ball like things that would return to her? She could throw them hard at something and they'd hit hard them return to her hand if she had like a cyber glove or something?

Re: Character customization: OOC

Well, I am playing a sniper, and that rifle goes a long way into setting me apart, but I want to see if there is a way to maybe work more like trick shots into my abilities. Something like hitting a mechs leg so he can't move and our guys can tank him. Things along that line of thought.

Otherwise I am waiting to get into my PrC of choice and that is still way off.

Re: Character customization: OOC

I thought you'd like the rifle, not something anyone wants to be on the receiving end of.


well i do allow for called shots...
The standard -4 penalty for attacking a held item. +mods for size of the object or location your trying to hit. Plus I adjust for damage to limbs, or vitals. reduced to hit, movement, disabling sensors, bypassing armor based on the type of armor worn..not every armor covers every location etc...
