Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

Hmm, so, do we get the extra point of magic to spend after all this has been said and done or is our group just formed now?

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

You've all now done a vow, so that counts as your ordeal - meaning your first initiation won't be super exciting.  We can do a few posts in a private thread for it if you like.

I thought it was pretty exciting. Or at least really interesting. It was definitely a new experience!

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

That wasn't an initiation.  That was just formation of the group.  Initiation will be a separate ritual - on a person-by-person basis once you've got the necessary karma.

I'll post an update in a bit with what Julia learns about Tantalus.  Who's planning to initiate?  Karma cost for grade 1 initiation is 1 and you've already passed your first ordeal, which was Vow.  If you'd really like to play it out, we can do that in a separate thread, but I'd like to move things onto an actual run that doesn't JUST involve beating Hairy senseless.  You'll have a few weeks between group formation and initial contact for the run, so post if there's anything your character wants to do that's of interest or just fun from a color perspective.

Caduceus will initiate! I wouldn't mind doing an initiation thread.

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

Duck will definitely initiate as well. Any suggestions on adept powers guys? No books and not sure where I’d find a good list online.

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

What kinda Karma do we need to initiate?  Standard Karma?  Or Good Karma?  I can't tell the difference.

If I have enough, then I wish to partake in initiation as well.

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

Your character sheet shows 3 things:
Karma pool - these are dice that allow you to re-roll or otherwise help to keep you from dying.  While you *can* spend them on upgrades, that's generally not considered a good thing to do - because they're hard to earn and are super useful in your pool.

Total karma - this reflects all the points you've earned throughout the lifetime of your character.  Each time you earn karma, this gets increased

Good karma = total karma - karma spent.  It represents what's available to spend right now.

At the moment, you're showing a good karma of 3.  I'm not sure if you've updated your character sheet to reflect changes.  You should have earned 3 more karma, but you also spent 3 karma to help form the group.  So I think that means your total karma should now be 43 but your good karma will still be 3.  (Gained 3, spent 3).  You'll need another 6 karma before you can initiate.

WD:
The full list of powers from the books are as follows:
Astral Perception 2 p. 168, SR3
Attribute Boost .25 per level p. 168, SR3

Great Leap .25 per level p. 150
Improved Ability .25 or .5 per level p. 169, SR3
Improved Physical Attribute .5 per level p. 169, SR3
Improved Reflexes 2, 3 or 5 p. 169, SR3
Improved Sense .25 each p. 169, SR3

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

Wait, what?  We can upgrade our character sheets?  And one other thing, why do I need another 6 good karma before I can initiate?  I thought initiation only costs 1 karma?  (Or at least that is what you wrote in the IC thread.)

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

So I did.  That was an error.  Corrected.

Initiation cost is (target level + 5) * 1.5 - if you're initiating in a group and going through an ordeal.  It's much more if you're not doing the group and ordeal thing.  So for your first level of initiation, you'll need 9 karma.  You should have that and a bit more by the time you're done the next mission - assuming you survive :)

When you're awarded karma (or money or cool stuff) you should be marking it on your character sheet.  If you're not sure about how to do that, let me know and I can do it for you.

I've had a couple of votes for an initiation thread so I'll do that.


I'll post an update from Julia shortly, then give everyone a chance to post an update for themselves for what they do over the next 6 weeks or so, then we'll kick off the next run.

Got it.  So I can't initiate yet.  Guess I'm just waiting until then?

Yup.  But you can indicate what you want to do IC for the next 6 weeks or so.

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

I don't think Caduceus is going to do much of interest over the next couple weeks. He'll keep up with contact and run his usual side-business as a freelance warder. I suppose he will help ward the shop too, if that counts as something notable. He would want as many people in their club with Astral Sight as possible to help out with that in order to make the ward as strong as possible. Do you want a roll for that?

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

No need.  You'll have enough time that if you do a lousy job, you'll just do it again.  I'll just treat the increased cost of security as including the materials and time needed to create and maintain the ward.

Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens

Caduceus will presumably reach out to the rest of the gang, though if he decides to meet the J. on his own first, he could I guess.  Meetings with Johnsons always go smoothly after all... :)

Well, *those* were fighting words. Sorry for the potential delay to the briefing, but you guys all know my character enough to know he's not gonna swallow that kind of threat.

I suspect that with the pissing contests that have been happening for the last two months, dear Juliet is seriously regretting having ever broached the notion of initiation... :)

Deep down, Duck actually likes Hairy. Reminds him of his brothers back home. Not that he’d ever tell Hairy that, haha. Of course, this *is* how he settled disputes with his brothers.
