I would tell your friend his heart is in the right place, very Roguish indeed. You create Characteristics first, then go down the Origin Path, finally spend XP.

So If you can obtain Armor of Contempt on the Origin Path before said Corruption would come into play: Yes. If you can not: No.

All right, listen up! All loyal sons and daughters of the Emperor, take a seat! The rest of you have to stand.

I am the Reaver, and this is the Wanderer. We will be your Co-operative Game Masters for this campaign. One of us is the nice one and the other one hates you.

Wave to the nice people, Wanderer. Wanderer has read the rulebook and seems to have retained most of it, so they're going to be the rules-adjudicator for the first while.

I have been running Deathwatch for the last two years so I have the subconscious belief you are all Space Marines.

TO CREATE YOUR CHARACTERS:

You will generate characteristics by rolling 2d10 + 25, all the way down the line. You may reroll one number of your choice and keep the new result. You may swap one pair of characteristics.

You will select your own options of Origin Path. For your Home World, you will select one of the planets of the Periphery, now known as the Severan Dominate, from the Background thread.

link to a message in this game

You will have 500 experience points to spent to increase Characteristics, acquire or improve Skills, acquire new Talents, and so on. You are rank 1 to start with.

Your group's Profit Factor begins at 30, due to your Dynasty's sudden shortfall of credibility and the nationalization of most of their wealth.

Once you have gotten that far, you have some homework for me. Go to the Private Messages thread, and send me a NEW private message on a NEW thread. This will create a thread from your character, which makes it easier for me to send you PMs during the game. The new thread title can be something like

(Character Name) OoC PM thread

which I will understand to mean

(Character Name) does not want to be eaten by a Bloodthirster

Aside from telling me you are done with the initial creation of your character, you have a question to answer. To wit:

The Rogue Trader Luther Haslinger has recently taken command of a new starship. Did you serve with him prior to this change, or were you serving aboard this ship when he came to command it?

Luther, maybe give us some details about your origin to help them make that decision.

We will begin ship creation once the GMs have everyone's new PMs. There will be 60 ship points to spend. More details on that later.

I figured. I just much rather see the "free row" column used for character development. Develop Pride into Saoirse character and "choose" your heirloom. Be warned all motivations will be tested and would expect all players to take motivation as a core part of their PC's decision making process.

Shouldn't be too hard to do, she is our Mistress-of-Arms. I don't mean to single you out, I just am not a fan of min/max. If the free column is used just for stats and gear and doesn't match character make up its difficult to sanction a character sheet.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Here we go folks, my origin path to see what we have to work with.

Home World: Noble Born (Ohmsworld)
Birthright: In Service to the Throne (Born to Lead)
Lure of the Void: Chosen by destiny
Trials & Travails: Dark Voyage
Motivation: Prestige
Lineage (If used): Disgraced

My basic idea is Luther is from a cadet branch of the dynasty who was shipped off to the Imperial Navy in the hope of pruning said branch. Due to his having the cheek to survive, he found himself the holder of the warrant after the Duke's secession and the Empire's subsequent grumpiness. I'm thinking my Dark Voyage could have brought me into contact with Valsharess, not necessarily a dark voyage for her, after all.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Hi all, I'll go ahead an post my origin path as well:

Sebastion Malhammer Voidmaster, Master of Gunnery/Ordinance

Home World: Battle Fleet
Birthright: Savant
Lure of the Void: Duty Bound (Duty to the Throne)
Trials and Travails: Lost Worlds (Beyond the Pale)
Motivation: Fortune

Sebastion Malhammer was tithed to the Battlefleet due to his exceptional mental acuity; logic, reflexes, spatial awareness.  He was indoctrinated into the Imperial military machine and excelled as a Voidmaster both in piloting and gunnery.  While chasing some Reaver pirates into the Warp there was a failure of mere micro-seconds of the Gellar field.  The things he saw that day...

When the Severan Dominate took over and the Dynasty was nearly revoked enitely, Sebastion was aboard the ship and came to the logical conclusion that rebelling against a rebellious authority was the only true way to stay loyal to the Empire and thus joined the Dynasty despite the rumours...

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Since we're sharing;

Home World: Ohmsworld (Hive)
Birthright: Tithed (Replaces Child of the Creed)
Lure of the Void: Renegade (Dark Visionary)
Trials and Travails: Press Ganged (Unwilling Accomplice)
Motivation: Endurance

Initial core concept was someone tithed to the black ships from a pleasure world but as the system doesn't have any, opted for a hiveworld. She's spent most of her early years plying charms in the hives and leveraging her psychic gifts before being snatched up, shipped off, and spending more than a few years of being told what and how to do and had, only of late, gotten a taste of freedom under the new administration.

The Dark Visionary component somewhat ties her to the more unpleasant side of being an Astropath and her attempts to better understand the dangers and nature of her gifts... And as we all know, knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Verity Sondar-Torre, Lord-Captain's Confessor

- Child of Dynasty
- In Service to the Throne: Born to Lead
- Zealot: Favoured of the Faithful
- Darkness: Warp Incursion
- Fear: Tormented by the Unspeakable

Raised in the void on a Sondar Dynasty starship, the Gilded Tower, though his mother was one of the Ohmsworld Torres, a high-ranking Creed Temporal house. Called to the acquilla and joined the Ministorum Galaxia first as a preacher and then confessor. Because of his ties, he was posted to the Haslinger Dynasty and 'reunited' with Luther, though he spent time preaching in the Main Hold before moving to the Haslinger Chapel. During these early years, he undertook several missions for the Ecclesiarchy, ferrying messages or relics or passengers.

It was the more recent years that soured, voyages that should him the darkness in the void and the darkness in the veil beyond it. It was with those that he reconsecrated himself, determined to seek out and reclaim the relics of the past as bastions against the present

- Luther: Potentially childhood companions on Ohmsworld, certainly moved in similar circles and their Dynasties were allies
- Sebastion: If your Gellar field failure happened on a Dynastic rather than Naval vessel, then it's possible that Verity's incursion was the same incident. Regardless, you may have sought him out for confession
- Aline: Struggling for an easy hook, but welcome your suggestions? At the moment the only one I came up with was Verity knowing of her from her earliest profession - not as a client, but if she moved in those circles
- Valsharess: Could have been the one who tormented him, or who saved him from the tormentor?

Homeworld  :  Deathworld
 - Hailing from Forest world of Cuyayale with the arbours and creatures surrounding the villages and towns of the arboreal surface.

Birthright :  Scavenger
 - Having been born an outcast due to her mother being a latent psyker (Iota class) and being suspected herself caused her to be forced to scavenge to survive until she joined the military.

Lure       :  Crusade (Call to War)
 - With such a harsh background she joined the Imperial Guard as soon as she was able to attempt a better life, or at least a quick end.

Trials     :  Hand of War
 - Having fought the (insert enemy here) on (insert planet here) the regiment she was attached to suffered a staggering 91% casualties and the Imperium decided it wasn't worth the effort to reinforce the regiment or collect them so they were mustered them out where many joined the forces of a passing Rogue Trader who also lost significant forces attached to the campaign.

Motivation :  Pride
 - During the conflict on (Planet) Saint (Name) was killed by the (Enemy) and infuriated at the death and the enemies attempts to butcher the remains she gathered a force of guardsmen and fought tooth and nail to get to the body shooting, stabbing and clubbing them until the formed a cordon around the saint's body, killing the enemy. Attached Ecclesiarchy representatives said that a glowing halo of the God-Emperor's light encompassed Searlait as she led the recovery of the saint and was blessed with their repaired and reconsecrated armour.

Career        :  Arch-Militant
 - After several years of serving the Lord-Captain she rose through the ranks to attain the rank of Arch Militant and Mistress at Arms.

Lineage       :  Witchborn - Proven to be Pure
 - Her mother was captured by the Arbites and tested by the Adeptus Astra Telepathica and was taken into custody. Searlait was tested as well and deemed Pi class, non-psyker.

Birthright        : Unnatural Origins
Lure of the Void  : Duty Bound
Trials & Travails : Dark Voyage
Motivation        : Pride
Lineage           : Last Child

Being part of a Navigator House meant Ramirez had likely been planned centuries if not millennia in advance.  He was part of a dying offshoot of House Cassini that went to what even among Navigator Houses is considered extreme in genetic manipulation.  While his youth was spent well beyond the Periphery serving the interests of the God-Emperor he was sent to the Calixis Sector when Aspyce Chorda waged her inner-Dynasty war and wiped out a significant number of the House uncaring of the agreements that had been made before.  The Haslinger Dynasty was one of the more powerful ones near the Expanse where they figured that coming into agreements with them would lead to eventual conflict with Chorda where Haslinger victories would also mean Cassini ones.  Unfortunately Duke Severus threw that into the bin when he declared secession from the Imperium of Man.  Regardless of the fact he was the last of his line in the area they had finally recovered a family heirloom from his relatives that had been secreted away before Chorda could have gotten her hands on it and sent it his way as a blessing of sorts...an ancestral seal given to those Navigators that sailed with the God-Emperor himself on the Bucephelus during the first steps of the Great Crusade.

•Luther - I'm thinking that Ramirez has been with you in the minimum since your Dark Voyage that brought you across Valsharess, if not known earlier, as a secondary or tertiary Navigator on a Navy Ship.  Being a Navigator he's got a level of mobility only equaled by a Rogue Trader...cause it's the Navigators taking them everywhere.

•Sebastion - Depending on if there is a loose connection between you and Luther during the time in the Navy there would be a similarly good angle to know you that way.

•Aline - Only easy hook with you would be potentially as one of the Navigators guiding the voidship that took you finally.

•Valsharess - Long as Luther is good with it our first meeting would have been when he met you.

•Verity - Probably a late connection at first glance, around the time of his being saved from the tormentors by Valsharess.

•Searlait - Seems to be a late connection as well.

My choices are:

Home World: Forge World (Ismongerelane)
Birthright: Savant
Lure of the Void: New Horizons (Seeker of Truth)
Trials and Travails: Ship-Lorn
Motivation: Knowledge (Knowledge is Life, Life is Knowledge)

Axiothea is an Explorator and [redacted] whose existence has largely been given shape by her ties to a Magos of some standing, first being raised from relative obscurity by their agents and then over a period of many years brought into their confidence and immersed in their particular doctrine. This certainly isn't her first extended voyage away from Ismongerelane, though with any luck it might go a little more smoothly than the last. Indeed she has something of a mixed reputation back home for managing to save the remnants of her previous expedition (and more importantly some of its discoveries) by employing methods that all but invited censure. Even with friends in moderately-high places she's still had to keep her head down to avoid the worst case scenarios.

I've been thinking of her as someone Luther either "inherited" with his command or who perhaps negotiated passage and ongoing service to escape heat back home; honestly I'm not confident enough with the timeline to be too sure about what fits and what doesn't. She could be a recent pick-up or someone who's known the ship longer than its captain, and I'd be happy either way.

There will be 60 ship points to spend.

We will be making the ship collectively. Wanderer and I have decided that each of you will make a single contribution to the ship's choices. You will be told what choice you get to make. The choice is based on your character class.

Once the components have been decided, we will go back and look at it all together to see if you are happy with the ship you have built.

This upcoming thread is the acid test. You will be required to post helpfully as a team. I know you all are very excited, but don't overwhelm the thread with too many posts. That makes it hard for others to follow. Also, don't just ghost on us without notice.

Once the ship is completed, we will be ready to begin the first endeavor.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Catching up on a few posts whilst I was at work:

Verity & Luther: A familiar face from a nearly forgotten past would certainly make a fantastic touch point of connection. Between her mundane talents and her psychic gift, it wouldn't have been too hard to imagine her working her way up through the various guilds, gangs, and other hierarchies of Ohmsworld and finding her services in demand in the upper hives. It was probably that ascension that got her noticed, caught, and tithed.

A few chance run ins in the circles of the great and good coupled with a linger impression of something most assuredly odd about that woman and a eureka moment years later as you find her the mistress of the choir aboard the Lord Captain's vessel.

Luther might fit into the above as well if he is inclined to the connection between you as well.

Ramirez: It's possible that there was a chance run in but the dynamic really depends on your character's personality. Aline is rightfully resentful of having lost so much of her autonomy over the years only to get it back very recently and suddenly when the ship she served on changed hands to that of the Lord Captain (subject to revision based on how that goes). If he was kind to her or at least civil, she'd have a better memory but if was aloof or indifferent or out right cruel Ramirez might well have been lumped in with her unwilling employers.

Either way, she would concede the point that they're as much benefactors as prisoners of their respective gifts.

Axiothea: That knowledge motivation might mean some overlap with Aline's own 'dark visionary' studies to better understand the natures of the Warp and perils of her profession depending on the direction your own studies incline you to.

Question for the group, who is void capable, as in able to pilot the ship, run the augurs and such?  Sebastion is the gunner, but as a Voidmaster he actually can pilot it (pretty well in fact), and run the augur arrays, but his specialty is the guns.  Just trying to figure out who will do what in ship combat.

Also behind the scenes discussion has clarified that she's a very recent addition to the crew, something of a "best tool for the job" scenario to get this vessel void-worthy, and as such she's unlikely to have particularly notable ties with anyone else at this time. Based on the lack of crossing Origin Paths I'd assume that only Luther and Odette have had much contact with her, or at least cause to concern themselves too deeply in her affairs. You'd think that vetting someone set to take on that sort of responsibility on your ship has to go right to the top (and Odette is likely already dreading the size of the requisition form when they next make port).

@Aline: I doubt Axiothea would ever pass up an opportunity to discuss ideas or learn new things, but on the whole I think your field of expertise might be a bit too far outside her comfort zone to deserve more than a passing interest. That said, to drop the non-reveal, as a Logician I think she might have some genuine sympathy for an individual on a personal quest to better understand the tools of their trade. If there's a point where Aline's gifts and studies intersect with the more technological side of things then Axiothea might well be willing to meet her there.

Perfect; Verity's familial background on Ohmsworld is the mundane arm of the Ecclesiarchy, though he grew up aboard another Dynasty's starships

Sebastion Malhammer:
Question for the group, who is void capable, as in able to pilot the ship, run the augurs and such?

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Apologies to everyone on my slowness, RL has been hectic!

For Odette and the origin path I'm planning.

Home World: Imperial World (Fourtheden)
Birthright: Savant
Lure of the Void: Duty Bound
Trials & Travails: Ship-Lorn
Motivation: Knowledge

In terms of potential ties, Sebastion, we're both duty bound savants, for Ramirez we're both duty bound and for Axiothea it's savant.

A bit on Odette's backstory.

She started out as just another administrator on Fourtheden, dealing with the large amount of food the world produced and shipped elsewhere, but steadily progressed with talents and aptitude, possessing a certain leaning to see the stars, even if she was supposed to put her duty before any sense of wanderlust.

Nevertheless, she focused efforts on trying to win the attention of various merchant captains who were responsible for ferrying foodstuffs throughout the local systems, knowing enough about how the system worked to game it to a degree. Finally, her sense of wheeling and dealing paid off and a local Captain named <TBD> took her on as a member of his crew, admittedly a very low ranking one.

It would take her several years to gradually work her way up the ranks, again, being aware that playing completely by the rules never got anyone anywhere and gaining something of a reputation among the crew as sharp in her dealings and trading.

Wanderlust met reality in the end, however, when the Geller field flickered during a short Warp trip. Despite an emergency exit, most of the crew was lost and Odette was trapped on a failing ship with a handful of survivors for several months until (I'm hoping!) our good Lord Captain happened upon them.

I'm hoping that offers a good base for starting tie ins and how she came to be here. I may need to tweak it as we go on.

In terms of personality, Odette is willing to cut corners to achieve results, take part in shady activities, up to and including dealing with Xenos at times, but perhaps paradoxically, is still devout in her faith to the Emperor. She may need to commit sins at times, but the Imperium will benefit from it.

@ Ramirez - Your idea sounds fine to me. Are you thinking you got promoted via dead man's shoes?

@ Axiothea - I can't help thinking your background is going to bite us in the ass. I'm looking forward to the shenanigans.

@ Aline - Since its rogue traders we're talking about, I think the dynasty would have hired you as soon as your abilities came to light. Sanctioned or not, the fools :D

@ Sebastian - I can make a minor adjustment to my sheet and snag the Pilot skill if needs be. It might leave me slightly...squishier in ranged combat but that can't be helped.

Right now Sebastion is a fine pilot, but I took the special ability to re-roll Gunnery rolls.  If he needs to pilot the ship (which I'm fine with) I might move things around.  Anyone can fire the guns, but you need to have pilot to fly the ship.

To no one's surprise, Aline also has charm. The only other thing I might be able to do is a few of the Astropath ship actions and serve as a communications router to various officers on the ship via sustained mind link lol.

Luther: Maybe never got the chance as she made a mistake somewhere and was captured and shipped off to Terra?

Axiothea: Fair on that front; warp studies are a very very sensitive topic among the Mechanicus.

Valsharess will consider Aline her dire nemesis if she picks up the telekinesis angle...the damn stuff won't get knocked down!

•Aline...for a guy that has three eyes Ramirez positively drips with magnetism and charisma and seems to on the surface at least treat everyone civilly (unless they prefer to be treated uncivilly which he will acquiesce and treat them as they desire) as he seems to have been trained to be a segway between his House and the rest of the universe.  Those like her who are more unique he will afford more kindness towards (or less if that's their cake).  On the prisoner and benefactors from their gifts he agrees with her but leans more towards the benefit side of the scale.  If they are what they are, why fight what they are...they can't change that (barring gene-manipulation or warp sorcery)...so use their unique status to get the respect and benefits they desire since they would end up using those things anyhow.

Unless the GMs have other plans as part of the ship building process, I'd like to put forward "Fortune's Favour", "Martyr's Kiss" and "Thermopylae" as possible names.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

I should have made this more clear. The Confessional thread is more of a warm up for your character, "non-canon" as it was better described as. This will not directly affect your character for the start of the game or the story. It is for you to speak with the Confessor if you so chose or mingle with other characters, or make an confessional about what your character has done in the past if you so feel. Maybe simply pay your respects to the dead in anyway you find fitting, something while we transition from the Warp that is ship building. Be as active or inactive in it as you deem fit.

Carry on.

Though as an aside, from an OOC perspective, Aline will try and ignore surface thoughts but I always view telepathy in some capacity as an always on thing and take it more as most surface thoughts not being anything remotely coherent unless it's a particularly potent thought or emotion. <.<

1 Thermopylae
(5 Votes is a Majority, Captain would be tie breaker). Both are quite excellent and should be easily worked into History & Complications. We will recheck votes on name after both have been determined but that is the running tally.

The Void Ship Records are up to date the current save Weapons, which are upcoming those that are there are place holders.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Bringing up the name of the ship brings up an Expanded Options. Fortune would have it the three options I find in line with our backstory and general role-play purposes of Rogues of Dominate.

This would need to be an agreed in majority (With Captain in agreement) as it does take from SP that would or could be used for other options, but if the group can agree on one of three options they are:

"Martyr's Kiss": Veteran of the Angevin Crusdade (SP: 3 +10 Ballistic Skill Tests -40 Silent Running).

"Thermopylae": Vessel of the Fleet (Only the 1 SP enemy of the Navy option. +10 Command, Duty unto Death Trait).

"Fortunes Favour": Planet Bound for a Millenia (3 SP Decrease Hull D5-1. Modified Drive. +10 Manoeuvrability while within 5 VU's of a planet.

*Fortunes Favor (Also dependent upon choice of Complication Reliquary of Mars. 1 Min. Archeotech Component. -20 Repairs.).

None of these options need to be used, but if PC's are hoping to use Expanded Options, best to choose sooner than later.

Since Thermopylae also give Enemy (Imperial Navy) I'd rank that last of the possible choices.  Martyr's Kiss/Embrace makes us loud and proud...with point blank range macro-weapons if I read Searlait's choice of Pyros (range 4) and Mezoa (range 5) that would push it down to second choice.  We will need the ability to silent run to get close enough to use those weapons so Fortunes Favour would be my choice first.

1) Fortunes Favour
2) Martyr's Kiss/Embrace
3) Thermopylae

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Well...

Fortune's Favour allows the ship to have some sort of rare archeotech that your Explorator may or may not go gaga over cause...ancient tech.   You automatically have and ancient drive system and then an additional one of choice but as Wanderer pointed out it also means that the entire ship is harder to repair.

Though it is interesting that while they note in Xenophilous if you have FL:Xenos your penalty to fix things drops from -30 to -10 it pointedly leaves out in Reliquary of Mars if you have FL:Archeotech it doing anything to modify that from -20 to anything else.  There would be a funny irony that if you know about Xenos stuff it's easier to repair alien tech than it is to repair just advanced human tech.

Ahhh now I see what you meant earlier Wanderer.  That extra piece of archeotech was dependent on taking the Reliquary of Mars during the past histories portion of the ship building.  It equally means that the Captain could pick Xenophilious and the ship could have some sort of alien piece of tech in board.

Certainly for many priests it's gotta be hard to reconcile that phrase when psykers are sanctioned (and even Space Marines have them in Librarians) and mutants are allowed or even direly needed (Ogryn, Ratlings, Navigators).

Then again most probably don't have to confront it daily and can happily say to swing the evil things by the neck till they are dead, dead, dead...or set them aflame or whatever chosen way of ridding the world of abominations to the sanctity of the God-Emperor the priest and similar others believe.

Still mutants, just sanctioned aka 'stable species' and yeah navigators are well beyond that step but still muties.

The finer points of genetics are left to the Mechanicus and few well trained Medicae out there but for the common man and woman they are completely ignorant to the finer points.  Even with the Ecclesiarchy saying well Ogryn and Ratlings are 'okay' their constant preaching against the mutant will make everyone distrust them who don't deal with them on a daily basis.  Sure it's contextual to a degree...deep hive limited mutations are overlooked cause many if not all have some sort of thing due to the long toxic exposure but for the majority of deluded souls you know that Corpse-God is the God-Emperor proudly putting himself at risk for all of humanity as he slowly recovers from the bastard Horus who dared to try and strike at his 'father' and risk the Imperium of Man!

On the psyker front there is at least a well grounded reason for fearing or being nervous around them.

And what the alpha class psykers can do...

I do believe the Command IC is open for ALL to voice their ideas and opinions about the ship. PC's might as well make a prioritized list of components and possible tweaks that could be made to the ship.

A Modified Jovian Class 2 would pump out the same power and save you 4 space for additional components while adding +1 Speed. If Planet Bound and brittle this would be free if not the Void Master has 3 Ship Points to offer due to Homeworld choice. Sebastion Malhammer, Axiothea, Odette Faye and Ramirez suggestions?

Right now you have 10 space and 17 Ship points, three of which can not be used toward Profit Factor.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Either here or there, IC is always appreciated if time and space permits. I was thinking it be focused on the over all idea of the ship and essential components at this time, but feel free to make a case for your particular components. Like what the ship looks like to you going forward, philosophically, and what type of ship is she going to be. A frigate can be anything, what is her mainstay, what was she built for doing. Maybe think outside your character, of course everyones PC will want something a component for them lets look big picture. What is Fortunes Favour or Martyr Kiss from a ship builders perspective.

It sounds like she will be a Reliquary of Mars, a floating shrine to Mechanicus, what one Archeotech component seems most fitting? If so did we want to double down and have her a Planet Bound from Expanded it saves 3 SP essentially and adds a free archeotech component, but at a cost to Hull and would add to the fact the Rogue Traders are in command of a prized relic prized by Reavers from Sector to Sector. Also repairs would be much harder and expensive to execute.

Nothing yet, sorry. I'm scouring the interweb for inspiration. Names and coats of arms are things I always struggle with in games.

I'm thinking we call the ship "Fortune's Favour", take planet bound & made of glass. Bear with me now. If we can snag reinforced interior bulkheads, that should mitigate the effects of whoever "did a Troi" way back when. Which in turn could let us take xenophile for that sweet sweet xenotech, or if we're being good boys & girls, another piece if Archeotech. What do you guys reckon?

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Without looking at stats, I prefer the idea of Archeotech.  It seems cooler to have a relic of the past when humanity reached the top of its tech tree and we can flaunt that tech.

Now then, since we already have a Xeno on board, maybe we should go with something a bit more...risky.  We'd be keeping more to a theme then.

Decisions, decisions.

I say let's go with the Xenos Tech options.  We can then tie that in with the Xenos crew member, we might as well go all in.

The Gravity Sails can make up for any slowness or loss of maneuverability we might take for other components.

For Sebastion's torment, the Shard Cannons would be great.  All of the other guns are down...

Agreed. Only the Archeotech would be the Shrine that the Mechanicus lines up to see months prior to ship due at port like the next Star Wars film.

For fluff continuity. Planet bound Ship could have been grav lifted from planet [X] by Rogue Trader/ Crusader prior to and for the purposes of the Angevin Crusade, seeing the value of the STC in the skeleton of the wreck was worth bringing her into a new age and purpose. Things may have slid sideways as Dynasty waned somewhere in the Dominate where Xenos retrofitted blasphemous tech aboard ship.

Maybe she was a Martyrs Embrace and became a Martyr Kiss along the way....

Voting for Planet-Bound, with the fluff adjustment mentioned and hence taking Temple-Shrine for the Angevin Chapel. Her subsequent role in the Angevin Crusade might excuse Reinforced Interior Bulkheads and Augmented Retro-Thrusters together with an Empyrean Mantle or Armoured. She's a gnarled pit-fighter, a gladiator of bygone times.

Depending on flavour, I might suggest one of the following (presuming the stats work) together with:
  • Barrack and Munitorium
  • Laboratorium, Manufacturoriun and Librarium or Pharmacia

Finally, thoughts on Auto-stabilised Logis-targeter or Witch Augur to continue with the huntress theme?

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

It all depends on what you want to do with the thing.  There are a ton of options and I'm familiar with a lot of them...which I kinda mimicked with Ramirez in taking the Trade (Shipwright) skill and Forbidden Lore (Archeotech).  Though the Xenos tech would allow us some more unique capabilities.

Working with Aline's commentary if you want to be ultimate stealth hunter go with Xenos-tech and take the Shadowfield and pair it with an Empyrean Mantle.  Ideally with that pair you'd also swap out the M-201 .b Augur Array for a W-240 passive array so you could still scan while under silent running.  Depending on if you wanted to pair the close range firepower with Hit & Runs you can't go wrong with Murder Servitors.

Verity's suggestion of Laboratorium, Manufacturoriun, Librarium and Pharmacia allows us to do some serious investigation and fabrication.  One thing though Verity you may want to consider...swap the Temple-Shrine for the Auto-Temple.  You shave off a SP cost, increase endevour points and you get an entire building structure that can be put down planetside to spread the faith...it's like a mobile faith base that could be left there or packed back up and brought back to the ship.  Downside is you don't get as much morale from it.

Ramirez of course would enjoy Xenos tech along the line of Runecaster (halve the times in the warp and major boost to navigation) or the Warp Gate Map that opens up even faster travel but a chance at ending up somewhere we totally didn't expect to go.

Just a tab of less exciting components and what they would cost. The Dorsal is just a cheap small place holder, those barracks eat up a ton of space on a Frigate.

EDIT: Just put it up as some comps that were suggested at cheapest cost space power points. As the last ship of Dynasty she would need to be varied enough to take on multiple types of Endeavors and is a Frigates biggest Asset. A reminder of your lowly stature among Traders. That is all carry on.

Given the constraints on space, taking the Modified Jovian Pattern Class 2 Drive seems a clear choice. Settling the other Archaeotech (or Xenos) components seems the next choice to make, since that tells us what's left

Does the Lord-Captain have a specific steer on our intent or themes that would steer other component choices?

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

I believe the Lord Captain wished for ALL PC's to chime in on thoughts about the ship. We have a pretty good idea where we stand, does anyone have ONE key component Xenos or Archeotech that would steer the conversation toward the next piece they would like to add?

EDIT: If you go Auto-Temple you might as well switch out the Barracks for Drop Pods and Storm Troopers. :)

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Maybe I should restate that another way (No offense to Jay Little and the FFG customizable ship building writers). This is just how I see it.

The Martyr's Kiss was a reclaimed project of Faith and sheer will power bringing back what was best in the Imperium and retrofitting her with armaments for the Crusade. I see a base cargo Frigate with amazing Modified Drives for space and maybe Ancient Life Sustainers that feed her crew and pilgrims. The weakly armed Pilgrim shipping vessel The Martyrs Embrace was holed and suffered critical damage from Raiders just outside orbit of planet [X] whom she hoped to colonize further or turn a faithless dirtside population toward the Imperial Creed.

Later the void ship was reclaimed by a Rogue Trader who saw the ancient bones of the wreck on a world now turned reverently faithful to Imperial Creed, as the Planet Bound Ship had become a 1 kilometer plus Cathedral. This planet stuck ship was later turned into hell and brimstone (figuratively and literally with her close quarters weapons) War Frigate for the Crusade. Now the Martry's Kiss anyone would tell you of the taste of her embrace if they fell into close with this Reliquary of fire and faith....

Besides the fact you can add Xenos tech to the ship, I don't really see a why?

Maybe start with her story and work up to the parts.

EDIT: The name of the ship Kiss or Fortune is irrelevant or what ever you wish it to be. I used the three for clearer choices of the Expanded Path.

Sorry, I skipped over sharing the story bit as my kids interrupted :)

Imagining that the tangle meant with Dark Eldar that brought us our Xenia companion brought with it certain spoils, the Warp Map being potentially more portable than the other options

That's the other option with Xenophilous. The Xenos story looks like Planet Bound then Crusader turned Dark Eldar retrofit. Could be the same story she fell into some disuse and add to it poor quality repairs as the Dynasty fell on hard times and a deal had to be made to make her battle worthy again after getting too heavy and slow.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Some of it could depend on the untold story between Luther and Valsharess (and potentially Ramirez if that is linked to their Dark Voyage path).  Something like the Warp Gate Map is portable enough that it could have been stolen by the PC's and brought back to integrate with the ship.  A Runecaster would be more involved cause it's arguably larger initially and also involve something of coming across a damaged Eldar vessel to filch it from and then reconfigure and insert into their ship.

When you have finished your first draft of the ship, you can all go back and discuss the decisions you've made. None of this is final until you say it is. However, the ship's precise construction will not feature into the adventure immediately. Once you have finished the first draft, let us know. We will start the adventure path.

It was a record keeping error on my part Sebastion.

We are current with ship on record sheet (Save Jovian Mod Drive which is almost a must but not confirmed). Nothing is stopping anyone from posting I.C. or if you are feeling adventurous round out the ship how you would and post the additional components list here for others to look at it may inspire debate and or new ideas.

Right now we have some heavy leanings toward Xenos, lets see your builds! And give me a ping if you are sure your character is finished and ready for full sanctioning ready to be pressurized and LOCKED!

Actually of the three it's my least important background wise. Barracks would house the house troops and ex-military to take enemy ships for our own to rebuild the dynasty and the fleet.

Arboretum, stay in the void longer, makes people happy and reminds her of home.

Murder-Servitors, Also good for taking enemy ships.

EDIT: If we get a barracks can I use one of my replacements to buy a regiment of troops (BFK: 125) of equivalent value? If not, my sheet should be done.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Generally, speaking... I'm happy with the ship as long as it fulfill it's purpose of making us money and holding up in a fight. The only ship facility that even benefits me I believe is the Astropathic choir-chambers which gives me a +10 on my focus power check for Astral Telepathy and increases my broadcast range by 5 vu. Which really isn't of primary importance to the crew in the grand scheme of things

The notion of doubling down on the Empyrean Mantle and Shadowfield does delight me though when combined with those melta macro-battery. Otherwise, others have a bit more skin in the game for how a given component can make their life easier. :)

Also hope you feel better soon, Axiothea!

Now that I know the names aren't tied to a specific pick, I think we should go for the Martyr name. I'm gonna pick Xenophile from table 8-2 , balls to things like caution & the Inquisition. Are we all agreed on planet bound combined with reinforced bulkheads?

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

We can get a lot of what people have been mentioning with some give and take along with a few alterations.  Tried to not deviate much from the initial options as well as give it some more angles for character in the parts of the vessel themselves in having a mix of Poor, Common, Good and even Best craftsmanship components.  One of the larger shifts is taking the Crew skill hit to pick up yet another 3 more SP to use which was needed to handle the space/power limitations.  So as an example if we chose to take the Warp Gate Maps...



The hull of Fortunes Favour was laid down before the Great Crusade began and she set sail in magnificent and terrible times.  What her Machine Spirit had gone though...lived through...was a testament to her resilience.  The truth of what caused her to crash on a small moon orbiting a graveyard of Loyalist and Traitor forces above a massive gas giant is locked deep within her memory banks.  Still she was found before the Angevin Crusade began by the Haslinger Dynasty, fitted with the most reliable anti-grav generators and carefully removed from the scarred planet and the battlefield.  Refitted and sent into battle once again she took on the worst things that confronted the Dynasty.

As the years went by the warp engines were replaced by new drives made in the Calyx Expanse; the Warpsbane Hull had suffered hit after hit damaging hexagrammatic protections to the degree that there were tendrils of the protection not only on the surface of the vessel but loose ends driven deep into the spine causing unnecessary energy drain.  Her original weapons complement had been slagged by a vortex torpedo that almost severed the spire itself and when they found replacements from a space hulk fragment they had salvaged.  Pyros macrocannons making her range painfully short.  They stripped a passive auger array to replace the damaged 201.b and give her a better fighting chance only augmented by new baffles made to hide the vessel from the enemy.  New though almost always means worse and while it protected their hide during silent running it seemed that the Tech-Priests that had adapted the components had wired them into the same power conduit that the Warpsbane Hull used to ionize the latticework.  Replacing old damaged sections of the hull forced them to pull the original Temple Shrine and replace it with a smaller Auto Temple venerating not only the God-Emperor and his son Sanginus but the more recently noticed Drusus.  The ever expanding need to co-opt the combat vessels of the Dynasty to exploration had them retrofit a Laboratorium to analyze and manufacture small quantities of finds, and a Librarium to catalogue all that had been found.  The only things to survive the long millennia from the Great Crusade were the core engine, the desires of a Remembrancer who first planted a tree in a spare cargo bay that had grown into a full fledged Arboretum and from which allowed the small ship to carry a large complement of ground troops or marines as needed for supporting the Iterator.

The only thing to sully her otherwise perfect form was the far more recent acquisition of a complex map hub that was liberated from a ship of unknown origin that seemed to be some sort of scavenger ship using all manner of Imperial and Xenos tech in an unholy union.  The system somehow taps into a vast network of Warp Gates that supposedly exist allowing near instantaneous travel...but deciphering the complex ancient language that bore little resemblance to the Human language made it highly dangerous if highly effective when it did work.  The worse problem though was that upon arrival of the last Haslinger it was clear that the Inquisition had either culled the majority of their veteran crew and found them corrupted and put to death...or they had co-opted them into their own forces leaving him with only the greenest and most rookie of ratings.  The Martyr's Kiss, the appellation having been changed over the long, long service of the vessel was ready for the void again but the question was if the Lord Captain was ready to take on the challenge...

Keep the ideas flowing with the ship nothing is final until check engine light is dampened and drives kick on (Lets keep her basically as she is A Sword Frigate, just adjust the components and points you have left).

That said most sheets are ready to be locked and game has started again feel free to ping and post!

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

When I was running the numbers earlier space was at a premium but SP wasn't hence making the one off shift to duals to open up that additional space.  Then I realized that of all the things the good Wanderer and Reaver had asked us to pick they had never gone over Void Shields...so I needed to adapt to handle the extra 5 power needed for that which necessitated dropping other things I'd tentatively put on.  With the additional space being there now after dropping some other additional things we could shift it back to Mezoa and get back a single SP.

With no space and no power available that would mean that the SP would either go into making the Pyros or Mezoa into good quality or letting it revert back to profit factor.  Good quality weapons can increase damage, range or reduce space needed by 1...so that would let us match the damage of the Mezoa to the Pyros (or push the Pyros up to d10+5) or increase the range of the Pyros to match the Mezoa so the firing solutions would be the same (no point in increasing the range of the Mezoa...if you wanted long range you'd have taken other weapons with long ranges like Sunsears).  There isn't much use in making either take up less space since we'd not have any SP to find a component with only a space of 1 and no power req that also takes no SP.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

True we'd open up 1 power, 1 space and 3SP and then could turn around and take the Warpsbane Hull and Empyrean Mantle up to Common Quality leaving a free SP but then you also loose the ability to stay out in the void twice as long as well as the permanent increase to crew population which is better than the temporary adjust because of quality improvements or decreasing quality.  You'd also loose out on easy story/fluff hooks as to why the ship has a spate of various quality components and the interaction between them.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

No need to be sorry.  It can be terribly dry and number crunching as you go back and forth trying to make all the numbers work.  Normally people try to hit their numbers right on.  Takes a specific idea to build a ship without using it all for one reason or another.

Since we only lost a single Hull point I didn't bother wasting so much Space on a Bulkhead...it would have precluded being able to get Barracks or any number of the smaller pieces.  Now the only two supplemental components that are non-'standard' are the Arboretum and Empyrean Mantle that are good and poor respectively.  That left a pair of ship points and no power or space remaining.  I took them and tossed them into the Pyros cannons to make them best craftsmanship and put the increases into it's Strength (allowing an additional hit if we roll well enough) and lowering it's Crit threshold to 3 (meaning we'll get them with fewer degrees of success).

Obviously no one needs to agree with how outfitted the extras, but this is roughly how I might do it with the Runecaster instead of the Warp Gate and sticking mostly to the choices that people made and suggested.

I think it works quite nicely. Not much more I can from my perspective of things. Sadly Astropaths have very little impact on the character of a ship unless you're into nuking interstellar communications. ;)

Now the awkward question for the IC thread is how does the illustrious rogue trader handle entering warp when it comes to the psykers onboard lol. I suspect I've been sedated for quite awhile.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Amended Profit Factor due to some Navigation Lineage strains has lowered the Haslinger to below Outcast and Hive Guild. You are at a PF 29 and holding.

Speaking of acquiring sought after items, advice, intel and the likes. A list via the IC would be prudent with your Master of Coin. Also possible business propositions and deals you would like to try to get brokered to get the Dynasty off the wane. This is as good a time as any as you are headed to Port Wander. A place where more gray business ventures can take you out of the red and into the black or just cause a lot of red....


In addition to most O.o.C. in game posts a LOCATION: at the bottom would be a good habit to start getting into as the space boat is rather large and the Port even larger.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Generally via Into the Storm...

Each attempt you make imposes a -10 penalty after the first and since we start with only 29 PF even if you are trying to buy a single item rather than a lot it will be difficult to get things.  On top of that the more times you toss around coin or imply it to gain something you get a large and larger chance of people taking interest in the RT and their coterie and cause trouble.

Reaver and Wanderer might do things differently but if they do I don't think they will make it any easier.  And the unwanted attention chart is already very much not nice.  So the 'safe' number of tests would be (1) in a best case scenario world.  Course if you don't care you could go hog wild but you might only end up with a half empty pack of Lho sticks.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

And then on top of that...

While one could probably make a reasonable guess that there are more than 100,000 people on Port Wander giving you the best possible chart for difficulties.  You also have to account for total population on how long it takes to find that rare widget.

So lets be generous and say there are 10 million souls or less on Port Wander (or more than 1 million respectively).

Ramirez looks for a Almanac Astrae Divinitus to help out in charting the stars.  It's Extremely Rare so...a Hard (-20) to the test.  Rock on our base 29 minus 20 gets me to 9 and then since it's a single book I'm looking for it's Negligible (+30) scale getting me to 39.  Not bad...better than 1 in 3 chance.

So say I roll and succeed.

*glance at chart*

One of two things happen.  Either I spend an entire week scouring Port Wander and eventually find it after a week or the trader I've just dealt with lets me know that they will have the volume within a week and that I can come back then to get it (regardless if I pay it all up front, 50/50, 10/90 or nothing till I get my hands on it).

Are we going to stay in Port Wander for a week?  I dunno.  If we leave before then you either have to pray that they hold on to it till you get back if you paid up front or if you didn't pray that someone else doesn't buy it before you get back.

For shore teams. Yeah, I said teams, I'm thinking Luther, Val (if she can stay relatively hidden), Aline, Verity can go sort out customs & maybe drum up some business. Aline's presence to hopefully discourage any silliness and Verity to show we're all about the big man in the golden throne. If people want to cause mischief, Val convinces them not to.

Second team is the rest of the PCs to see about locating a better Mantle at some point. Axiothea and Sebastian because they're maintaining and flying the ship. Odette can do the business stuff, Searlait is security for you guys and Ramirez's being there should make people think twice about causing problems. If not, I'm reliably informed he can melt their faces.

I don't think I've missed anyone, as always suggestions are welcome. I don't wanna be railroading anyone somewhere they won't enjoy playing just because I'm the groups RT.

It's a surprisingly versatile skill when one considers the rigors of space travel!

One thing Aline can do as well is at least link herself to one or two member of the other parties just so real time communication can be maintained. I can do mind link with up to five willing minds at the moment.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Given we're about to be out socialising, I had a question some musings about the command hierarchy.

As I understand it we have the following roles

Lord-Captain Luther Haslinger
├── Enginseer Primus Axiothea
├── Mistress of Ceremonies Odette Faye, High Factotum?
├── Mistress-at-Arms Searlait Saoirse
│   └── Master of Ordinance Sebastion Malhammer
├── Choir-Mistress Aline Ishima
├── Warp Guide Ramirez
└── Ship's Confessor Verity Sondar-Torre

... and Valsharess as Lord-Captain's retinue outside the chain of command

Do we have a formal First Officer, either someone acting-up or an NPC? Or are we destitute enough not too?

Is the Lord-Captain married or possessing a Warrant Heir?

Is Sebastion acting-up as Master of Etherics?

Are there any senior NPCs we should detail/ Or that we need to hire?

Seems about right in terms of the ship roles from Into the Storm though I always find it strange that the Warp Guide seems lower on the totem pole from the book layout.

That also begs the question of how many astropaths DO we have aboard as well? We're a destitute dynasty with only a single, albeit pimped, frigate to our name. I imagine no more than a dozen consist of the choir?

Since we are so low on the totem pole and taking into account the events that brought us to this point there are (3) other 'lesser' Navigators from the same House as Ramirez.  Enough that they are guiding the ship for roughly 8 hours and then have a full day to recuperate before doing it again. I'm working on their names and small background stories if it becomes necessary for anyone but Ramirez to speak to them.

Okay, so we're all hanging around waiting for a bit. Also, it's about to be the holiday season, at least according to the radio station.

If you're going to play nothing but christmas music, can you at least find some heavy metal Santa songs?

Anyway. Wanderer and I have decided to give you an early Sanguinalia present.

So you're all pretty important people on board the ship. That's why you have a little something else. You are going to design your menial.

Every Officer of a ship needs one. For the soldier, a batman; For the priest, a monk; for the administrator, a scribe; for the navigator, an inadvertent victim.

These clumsy, unskilled, uninspired dregs are responsible for the aspects of your life that you are too important to handle yourself. Fetching recaf, cleaning your quarters, and delivering your mail are about the most technical challenges that they can be trusted with.

Name your menial. They might have had a name before they worked for you. You probably don't know it. The only way to find out what it was would be to ask them.

Pick your menial's trade skill. This was either the skill they had before they joined your service or the one they were forced to learn very quickly.

Your menial has the following characteristics:

Menial
Ws Bs s T ag int per Wp Fel
25 20 30 30 30 25 25 25 30
Movement: 3/6/9/18 Wounds: 9

If the Wanderer allows Ramirez's Barter to stand as is and there is no contesting from him that could drive the PF further up or back down whoever rolls the PF is looking at something right around this:

Availability on 100k+ pop = Rare Component +0
Scale                     = Structure +0
Quality                   = Common +0
Install                   = 13 days
PF Base                   = 29
Barter +3 degrees suc     = +6PF
PF Total for roll         = 35

Yes. I will amend the base roll by 6. There is still chance for further barter and role-play in that thread. We are just awaiting the Master of Coin for the actual roll.

I mixed the rules from Fleet book with base. Of course the actual component list doesn't make a whole mess of sense to me. An Empyrean Mantle seems like it would be harder to get than amended rules state. But we have been playing it straight up so I counted it as structure. Per rulebook and additional rules in Battlefleet Koronus, including attachment time for a void station of 13 standard days -1 day 2SP two weeks to install (12.97 I believe the Mechanics estimated, but you know how it is at the shop...).

I imagine you could get just about anything at Port Wander.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Yeah there are any number of components that when you look at the ‘Size’ chart for components that make you wonder why.  Not to mention having to cross reference so many charts in different books and places.  Base rarity isn’t hard when it comes to the Battlefleet book (then modified by how large a place is which in turn also tells you how quick it can be done in via Core) and then modified back by the Battlefleet chart, quality is standard and easy to adjust.  It’s those classifications of components that really toss off things...weapons of any sort at at -30, etherics (auspex, vox, comms) at a -20 is the closest that I could see the Mantle being equates to if it wasn’t a ‘special structure’.  It’s clearly not power like the warp drive or void shields or engines that give a -10 only really leaving Structure at a +0.

Mind if it is ‘etheric’ by your call it would mirror our contact saying that it’s highly unlikely that we’ll have the coin for it but he wanted to meet and learn who might be future clients again some day.  Cause that would take it from 35% down to 15% and be far less likely to acquire.

The classification addition to components added another modifier, and made classification more "fuzzy". I went by the book so you are at 35 percent and rising. But the fact of what a Mantle does leads me to make it available in a rather clandestine nature and becomes a more complicated acquisition (See another fun table you eluded to perviously Attracting Unwanted Attention Table 7-8 and 7-9).

There is no reason an honest Trader or Transport ship would have need of a Mantle. It is a tool for pirates, smugglers and the Navy.

I take it part by part when it comes to ship upgrades.

I have to admit my Heraldry is poor at best, the times I spent in the S.C.A. are "fuzzy" to say the least. Why a hare? Just asking incase it was obvious? I know there are tons of rules about placement color and such but I just usually go for cool looking. Just wondering if our Missionary is versed in Heraldry so I don't come off as a silly commoner. ; )

I thought maybe a bee or beehive in ode to Ohmsworld hive world looking maybe like a giant hive.

It often permits you to attack the holdings of other Imperial Dynasty's on a limited basis.  Legalised war on something that isn't technically an official enemy of the Empire.

Depending on where we are I would imagine that's not too necessary of a thing if no one else is enforcing the law anyway.

A wild premise appeared!

The Righteous Path. Perhaps you have heard of it? Yes, I can see a glimmer of recollection in your eye. During the Angevin Crusade, the Imperium was attempting to bring order to the sector. Among their number was Lorcanus Ryn, a great warlord and free-captain. He was a bloody, greedy captain by all accounts, but also fiercely loyal to Saint Drusus and the God-Emperor. He scourged a hundred worlds at the head of his grand cruiser, the Righteous Path.

It was on Kyrstallian that he found the seed of his doom. This ancient colony of man had o fallen to the heretical worship of false gods and the teachings of treacherous prophets known as the Talisar. Covered in glittering cloud temples, raised by the Talisar to
the glory of the Myriad of Faces, it was a world of immense wealth and blasphemous grandeur. It was, however, no match for the might of the Imperial armies led by Lorcanus Ryn. The
warlord descended on Krystallian, filled with the righteous wrath of the Emperor, sweeping away a thousand years of civilisation in three days of fire and blood. When the killing
was done, and the corpse counters began gathering up the detritus of war, Lorcanus Ryn marvelled at the riches he had won. Never before had he seen such naked wealth; temples
packed high with artefacts of rare and wondrous make, statues gilt with gems and glittering with gold, and shadowed vaults of forgotten and forbidden archeotech.

Here the story varies from teller to teller. Some say the wealth of Krystallian was more than rare metals and precious stones, but that its people were also a prize; bred from a stock of pure genetic material and spared from centuries of warptaint, they were bundled into stasis coffins and taken away to be trained as elite warriors or highborn servants. Others whisper that Krystallian was settled during the Dark Age of Technology and still harboured devices from that time within its cities and temples, secrets worth more than the raw mineral wealth or combined populations of a hundred worlds.

Whatever the form of Krystallian’s wealth, Lorcanus was not content merely to sample it, nor did he trust his fellow crusaders to carry it away. So he set about filling the Righteous
Path from stern to ram. He tore out gun decks and launch bays, marooned thousands of his crew and stripped away the vessel’s innards until she was bursting with plunder. The warlord then vanished into the warp and from the pages of history.

Over the centuries there have been many expeditions to find the Righteous Path. At the time of its disappearance, members of the crusade quested after the lost vessel. Later, free-traders, adventurers and Imperial servants have all tried to find its resting place.

I got the impression that since 5 tripped and fell after slamming into the back of the car that hit us he's all of...what 5-10m cause he ran/sprinted towards us?

So tempted to get back into it with the new Season 2 coming out and BloodBowl III vid soon I think. The Old World Fantasy Battle will be back soon enough from Warhammer as well, I think the new Nobility Bloodbowl sculpts are the way they must be heading as for how they look.

Athletics isn't a skill in Rogue Trader unfortunately.

They were still using Climb and Swim for this version.  Athletics rolled out in Only War in the place of Climb and Swim to help cover all the other basic movement and action things.

There is Acrobatics but as a trained skill it's unlikely anyone has the skill at Rank 1 unless they picked it up via Path or the rare Rank 1 advance.

I tried to bring a gift for our Lord Captain. But while I'm VERY good at my job we are rather poor.

I did almost land a Tau Battlesuit but it was lost due to an advertising error.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Luckily for me, as a Navigator, they can't hold me for any length of time...if they are following the standard laws of course.  Opportunistic Nobility or Neer-do-wells in power making a move won't care but similarly will end up bringing a very uncomfortable level of trouble on themselves.  On the whole they are immune to pretty much any law outside treason, heresy or similar level seriousness and it takes the Inquisition or someone with similar serious power to declare it and it be considered 'valid' for terms of not having retribution brought down on them.

Technically Ramirez has more legal immunity than Luther in many ways.  Conversely he isn't given Writ to do all the mass of things that Luther can do as a Rogue Trader.

The rail is hanging over your head, so you'd have to climb up there first. Once you get up top, you could walk on it. The rail is electrified so I hope you brought your insulated curly shoes, you hellish space Legolas. I feel like I should point out that the monorails cars are moving... really fast.

You could mess the car up if you wanted to. The bracket or arm are probably the most vulnerable point. They are made out of steel alloy.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

The default stats for a Laz gun or kind of garbage. I suggest you make use of the overcharge mode. The M36 is so reliable that it rarely malfunction even like that, and it's the only way you're going to get any decent damage out of those sons of grots.

May I float the suggestion that you try to get your own monorail car driving faster so that you can maintain or increase the distance. It depends on whether you think that your combat opportunities are going to improve in melee combat. Frankly, I can't wait to see a Dark Eldar versus an Ogryn, but a tactical withdrawal might be more in your interest.

Also, in case I haven't made it clear, their monorail is very similar to yours, right down to the fact that there's a servitor driving the damn thing.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

There aren't that many of them. I think Melta Pistol vs. Ogryn seems like it will work just fine.

Ugh, Suppressing fire is a little harder to manage in this version of the game. We(I) need to get some of you poor BS types Auto Pistols rather than Las Pistols so you can Do 3/4 rounds of suppressing fire and get people pinned.

Also I just realized that everyone else has better armor and worse weapons than I do in their starting kit (pointy hats aside). I should have dome more reading. I could have bought a case of Lasguns rather an trying to get Luther his Harlequin's Kiss.

EDIT: Quick question What is the range to the track? 3m Point Blank?

10m range is so dumb because the difference between short and Point blank is 2m.

True, but I'm betting he's got a big old TB and half decent armour. I assume if Ramirez & Aline had psychic grenades they'd have used them by now.

Just had a rummage in the book, no basic class weapons for me until Rank 4. Only a 3% chance of me hitting if I can get my plasma pistol working. I know I'm not the team psyker, but I forsee some acquisition rolls in our future.

The ogryn probably has between 8-10 TB soak, and with my hammer the minimum damage is 14 so if we need to fight melee I can probably do a bit of damage per hit and we can drop him fairly fast, I say if we get into melee, Val go for the psyker, everyone else kill the mooks with as many shots as possible before the crunch and I'll take the big guy.

Next post will have him also suggest to have the ships macrocannons brought online as it's highly likely if they don't get us here they will try and get us on the way out...and if they've bribed enough people to get this far without the Arbites causing real trouble then by the time they could ready the stations weapons, if they even wanted to fire on another Rogue Trader ship which is highly unlikely, our enemy would be gone and at best some smattering of apologies for the trouble.

That's an actual crit effect.

Not to yuck your yum, but didn't we just talk about how tough the Ogryn is? He's almost surely got wounds left (a heap of them).

If I was shooting at the track then I'm probably within 3m of the ogryn if he leapt to the back of our car? Asking for a friend. The friend is my Melta Pistol.

Do it. We are melee/pistol heavy. We are a lot better off having our guys over there stomping on their heads than them plinking us with carbines and whatever that astropath will do (assuming that head shot doesn't kill her).

P.S. I'm sorry everyone I'm new to this specific flavor of the game and I totally was today old when I read that each of the careers has a special ability. Specifically mine would have landed us each a refractor field if I had known about it in my private intro thread.

TBH I think my plan at the time was to give one to Luther as a welcome gift and then hang on to the other 4 for myself since force fields are weird.

I actually so want to get our non-combat types Auto Pistols so that they can do actual suppressing fire when we get into our next fire fight. It's a +40 to get 3-5 of them. But it might be better to get a platoon's worth so there is plenty of extra ammo.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Probably a wise idea, Aline isn't a terrible shot at 30 BS but it's not going to win her any marksmanship competitions. Granted better power selection probably could have made me a touch more useful in that fight. Most of my stuff is geared towards social interaction and communications. <.<

Roleplay appropriate but not optimized by any measure lol.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

They didn't really have much on them.

What you can still do in Port depends on how secure you want to be.

If you want to button up, letting nothing in the ship for absolute security, you can push off promptly. You won't be making any acquisitions though.

If you want to have security watch over everything, things move slowly. One of you can make one purchase.

If you want things to move along regularly, you can all try.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Awesome! Obviously I'm pulling for doing at least one buy, especially if it is at no penalty from my earlier shenanigans.

Searlait, how urgent is equipping this platoon? What was your conceptual load out for them?

What do people perceive as our most urgent need?

My proposal would actually be...
Auto Pistol TN41 (PF21+20Common+10Platoon-10Good)

With my Commerce check I can probably knock that out pretty easily.

I know I at least would be want one, simply to have a pistol with actual range, and the less combat inclined of our officers could do suppressing fire like I mentioned before. A platoon of them means we should have a hefty pile of ammo, and we have a stock of them to distribute them to the armsmen once I get a chance to get even more ammo later on.

I don't know much about ship improvements. If they are worth it compared to the risk then sure. Don't they all have an additional penalty based on their category in addition to the rarity?

We are hella poor. If the starting TN is below 0 then I don't think me Commerce check can reasonably dig us out.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

For personnal combat my only other thought was for Armor. I was able to get some for myself earlier but didn't don it before I met up with you in the market.

Storm Trooper Carapace for a squad is +0 so TN29 (I misread our PF on the autopistols)
Enforcer Light Carapace is a +10 and only 1 AP worse.

I THINK the pinning penalty to our enemies will be worth more. If someone is without armor entirely I should have a spare set of Xeno-Mesh. I wasn't able to pawn it for anything useful.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

We are using a modified version of the expanded purchase rules from Into the Storm. That being said, a list of what is most IMPORTANT to the group is the best way to maximize your chances at getting said item or what have you. A list is highly beneficial, I would make sure each PC places their order with the QM.

Holt it looks like prior penalties have been wiped clean. There will be no pawning of goods in this Acquisition test. Straight Commerce for the bonus and move on to the item in question. And PM the list prior to the rolls and I will add mods and double check its availability.

Right, basically how we were doing it in my thread (just no trading)? We hadn't really talked as a group what was important to people. I didn't necessarily expect to get requisitions again this soon.

If I'm bogging things down I can just take the initiative as Seneschal and buy what I think is best. But it would be a 2 minute conversation in character over Vox and being the new guy I would want to get a feel for people's needs before spending my employer's money.

We won't be using too much time on this lets keep it moving. Holt you take your cues from the crew and Captain, but in the end you are going to have to make the call on priorities after Luther gives the order O.o.C. or I.C. lets consider these items in route along with your original order.

If you can revolve the convo around the choices the Reaver laid out that would be great. Like "I am for X against Y"...  and then moving "to Say "Sebastion or have you heard the Rumors of Cold Trade incoming from The Periphery or Searlait have you heard of the Relic XYZ". The pbp rule on post for the story and then double or multiple posting until everyone has posted at least once for non combat initiative.

If the conversation gets thick just quote the person you are referring to. Have fun.

In reply to Aline Ishima (msg # 598):

I am not implicitly opposed to being Mind Linked. Holt doesn't have any particular opposition to the usage of psykers. Other than the cost of getting replacements. There is a fun bit in Nemesis (I think) where a RT talks about how he traded a moon the the Administratum to secure rights to own a psyker during the pre-heresy days. I imagine the price has dropped significantly.

Rumours about the Rogue Traders Dynasty being traitors are common. It's only because Luther could not be proven to be part of those specific rumours that he was allowed to retain his warrant of trade. However, news of specific relatives has not yet been obtained. If I were the Rogue Trader, I might encourage my officers to find more details when they seems to be available.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

The Navigator and Astropath have been working behind the scenes. It looks as if we are heading regardless of malfunctioning parts and violent uprisings.

As a reminder, even though we lost Val the Crimson Bride as a PC, the Dark Eldar are still very much part of the ships past and storyline. In the future it is possible a PC take up that part again. For now just a reminder that the Lord Captain has a body guard and at least "one" Dark Eldar succubus very near his private chambers.

The Dark Eldar also takes out its pain quota down in the very bowels of the ship. A small fighting pit is well known, if not heavily talked about or gossiped.

Though the pit is used for extreme violence, death for the most part is avoided at all costs. These violent uprisings causing death lately are uncommon on the Kiss and not welcomed in the slightest or even to be glossed over.

Update coming again today from Captain (NPC) and Wanderer.

PM the GM with any questions or concerns.

As we move toward Magoros certain tests will be required from the Navis Primer and I will ask for basic tests with stacking mods as we move from each leg of the trek. We are on our way to Footfall. And then depending how that goes we will move to the next leg until Magoros.

A character can always decide to rest if the warp adds too much stress to their character or wounds or insanity and recover during a leg of the trip. We will also try to deal with all the little things that happen along the way, such as an ensign at the sensors department unclasping a large fire arm on the bridge.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

There is still a lot going on characters are free to move about as they wish. The lower decks are still a bit of a violent place to be. Overall morale is hanging steady barely after the free fall. The Tech-Priests of the ship have found a problem as you all know. It is up to the crew and Captain to push on and add speed or stop at Footfall and take care of all the loose ends.

EDIT:: By that I mean as well if a PC is not particularly good or trained at a specific job aboard the ship don't let that stop you from trying something. Anyone can take a look at sensors or walk a beat of security. If the ranking officer has a problem with what you are doing let they say something about it. Don't be afraid to move about the ship and stir up trouble or solve problems or look for clues. Everyone knows there away around a ship enough to cause some ruckus. ; )

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Sebastion...

We're not quite there yet.  Ramirez was asking Luther which direction he wanted to go from Jerazol when they finally made it there.  We're moving fast but not that fast.  To give you an idea...

Normally the trip from Port Wander to Footfall takes about 5 days but it took us a day and a half.  Once there we didn't stick around but adjusted our course and jumped back into the Warp to head to Jerazol.  Normally the trip from Footfall to Jerazol takes 60 days cause the Warp is rough.  I'm tossing up a post in a few that points you to needing to make a Pilot roll.  Depending on how that goes we'll end up at Jerazol in anywhere between 12 to 15 days.

Jerazol being a dead world isn't worth stopping to look at (unless we had some sort of treasure map that is saying we should stop here).  We'll re-adjust in realspace before jumping back into the warp again to head for Zayth.  That normally takes about 240 days.  If the Captain decided to go to Naduesh it would have similarly taken 240 days.  So it should take us 8 months in the Warp to go from Jerazol to Zayth...hence why we'd need to stop and pickup supplies.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Zayth is a world scarred deeply by war. Enormous vehicles the size of cities churn the surface of Zayth’s single macro-continent. Each is a fortress and weapon platform armed with fearsome devices of war and destruction. Within them dwell Zayth’s human population, protected from the radiation and toxins unleashed by centuries of warfare. Zayth’s surface has been barren for millennia, ploughed and poisoned by shellfire, rapacious, urgent strip-mining, and the passage of hive-vehicles. Despite their weaponry and extraordinary vehicle cities the humans of Zayth have fallen far from the knowledge of their ancestors in all but war, and the knowledge of producing their hive-vehicles is long vanished. Great generators and engine vaults are permanently sealed by copper doors or guarded by hereditary Engine Orders who guard the traditions and culture of each clan fortress. Upon war-torn Zayth, each hive-vehicle circulates its own coinage---often small stamped ingots of precious metals hung upon loops of silver wire.

The ‘Ursid’ pattern of heavy stubber supposedly originating on the war world of Zayth is more compact than the standard models and uses a smaller ammunition drum which most users find easier to port and reload.

Announcement all PC's may create their menial as a Dark Heresy Character up to Rank Two. If this means switching up your menial so be it. PM the GM with your menials name, Rank and Career. All books are open. If anyone knows a Tech-Priest that be cool too. Reminder TAKE YOUR TIME. There is absolutely no rush to finish these character sheets, but as you have noticed some of your careers don't lean themselves to ship actions. If a PC wants to create a more Rogue Trader type menial we can home-brew a Dark Heresy Character easily. The menials need to be at significantly lower prestige and powers than their PCs. Good Luck and Had Fast. NO PSYKERS.

Again PM the GM and I will open sheet for you and access to two characters, please respect the others in the game with your posting amounts these are figures in the shadows.

So is this character someone for an away team or something?

If so maybe I'll go with a bosun.  A bit of a thug and enforcer.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

I think it's more a mix.

Sometimes it makes sense for someone else to be doing something.  When we are in the Void and travelling Ramirez is 100% tethered to his throne.  If something else comes up in the ship he will always be unavailable.  Other times it might be for an away mission.  It will give us a character to play no matter what happens to be going on and it's likely that if one is busy the other will be free to do other things.

I just did a little thinking and kept mine with the same concept as before...an assistant to Ramirez and currently his 'cook'.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Its definitely a mix. Some PC's more than others get "stuck" on the ship or busy at a station. This will free up your PC to do more and not miss any of the action. Also you may be called away from the ship yet still things happen at Port and other situations. This will free up everyone to be more a part of what ever happens during the game.

Its a slow moving one right now I hope to push it back to the point it was last year. Hang in there trying to get back to full posting force little by little.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

The planet is under extreme infighting and turmoil. The Kiss is only allowed to orbit at quite a long out distance and then approval is given for an away team consisting of a single craft to make way to an orbital station to be given a formal landing papers and make sure all is in order.

Let me know who is going, who is piloting what I would expect to be some sort of guncutter.

This includes menials.

Sebastion can do just fine piloting anything and is a good shot.  But he's not the best in social and investigation necessarily.  If he's better off staying put, I made a bosun (used the Guardsman career with the Metallicana planet origin) who is fine as a street level enforcer type.

No hurries Luther or any one else who is working on theirs, if you wish to wait until a better time please do. We can always keep moving forward. The menials were to add some variety to the game and hopefully add more gameplay for those who hold roles that often get them sidelined.

Alright instead of a vote how about Searlait pick an away vehicle which shall be known simply as the "Glance". Don't worry I will make sure to destroy this Valkyrie or Thunderhawk as soon as possible so you have to name a new one. :) I will move along this away ship with all those that wish to go forth to Zayth's station the "Remus Luminis" and beyond to the war world that is Zayth proper.

Welcome to the Expanse!

EDIT: For now everyone can keep their menials character sheet underneath their main sheet. Until I decide we need entire new slots for menials we will keep them under your main P.C.'s namesake.

One acquisition per menial. Run it by me.

Please list pilot. I will update with Valkeryie "The Glance" pulling into orbital station "The Oar of Light" as soon as we get a working crew list and probably before.

So far Aline's menial, Searlait and an Arbite. Ramirez's menial. Sebastion's menial. Most likely Luthers. And Verity menial. Check me if I am mistaken. But basically I count 8 total so far for the away party. A list of main weapons is probably good especially if they are cyber mastiff and if group will have access to PF to barter or make purchases with. Everyone has microbeads.

Not sure what we actually have to get from the Administratum but if it is just a line to fill out on a form I would think something like "Investigate and invest in developing markets." would be the default response.

So we need to take on crew? We should probably declare if we want to bring scores of laborers off world.

I never really liked how that section in the Ascension book worked. The Temple Assassins are supposed to be hand picked from trillions and trained from birth. No matter how good your hive trash street cutter is he should never be a Vindicare assassin, he might be arguably as good but he shouldn't BE one.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

I only ran one game that transitioned from DH to Ascension.

I told the guy that it came with more caveats and that as far as everyone else would be concerned outside the Inquisitor themselves he was playing a new character...

1) He had to take Sacrificial Past
2) He'd loose the special elite advances he earned from experiences from their missions
2a) Those points would be re-spent by me based on what the 'Officio' decided he needed.
3) He needed to come up with a character concept for someone who was snagged as a wee tike and that's the only memories he has left from his old life...which was a total lie.

They really wanted to play the career so they agreed.  I scripted the last adventure before their transition into it appearing to everyone else that he'd perished (having 0 permanent Fate Points at that point made it far easier to make the other players believe since he couldn't burn for miraculous survival).  Poof Vindicare.  From time to time I threw the players a hint but no one guessed it and the player of the Inquisitor kept his trap shut.

Fun times.

Do it to it Sebastion.  With the penalty countering all of the bonus and only reducing your chance by 5  you’ve at least got a shot cause you’re trained.  Everyone else would be half characteristic minus 5 more making it next to impossible.

At least in real world circumstances, taking a naval mine on the chin is bad news for a ship of our size. I'd rather pop it and hope it scatters the debris a bit to our benefit with whatever force it might impart in vacuum (Not a lot if it's a conventional explosion but 40k runs on rule of cool lol).

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Really all depends on the Boss and how they see void combat.  A single space mine, theoretically, should be destroyed by the Kiss’ turrets and even if it wasn’t it would hit the void shields and be deflected (unless it was some sort of Disruption mine that somehow bypassed the void shields to hit the hull).  Since a strategic round is so long that void shield would be back up for both of the raiders firing runs.  So really we’re waiting on the Boss to do his firing, see if either ship makes enough hits to make it past our void shields and then the Hull to do any damage that would potentially damage the void shields that would then make it that much more dangerous for the mine to hit since it could then do some damage…we do have a fair bit of Hull on her to resist damage after all.

Are these Eldar ships?  The mine seems like it's Eldar, but are the ships?  They sound more like pirates; Prowler and Hunter seem like they'd be human pirates maybe.

I agree though, we should shoot the mine first, since we can't shoot the ships yet anyway.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Pretty much same here.  I've got one option while in the navigator's throne and it's one that Captain's don't order lightly...using an emergency warp jump to slip into the warp and back out to avoid being hit from a shot while praying that no other ships continued into the same space we just vacated cause when we re-appear if there is something there it will meld together like all the corny movies about the Manhattan Experiment with people fused into walls...except it'll be the other ship fused with ours...

And then it goes boom and ends up with chunks of ship going in random directions.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

Void Shields negate the first hit if you made multiple ones.

So in this case normally you would have only rolled 3d10+9 (simply subtract one hit worth of damage) and that would have been applied against their Armour and then Hull.  Generally speaking you'd remove that last dice from the totals and you'd have what you actually hit the ship with after the void shields went down.  That would mean 20 damage or about...mmm 6 points of actual damage to their hull.  If the Boss is nice they will let you remove the first die rolled (as if the first hitting the shields) and you'd do 23 or about 9 damage to their hull.  Otherwise they may simply say re-roll all the damage and just do it with thhe accurate 3d10+9.

Debating if it I risk it myself... but they are close enough at 10 VU I can possibly start messing with their gunnery teams perceptions of reality lol. Granted... the action is at a -30... Leaving me with a grand ol' 20% chance to do it.

Keeping in mind this all has to be done at the unfettered power level and invite all the fun of that for... -5 to their next BS test per degree of success.

Based on the captain's command for Sebastion, would it be better to Lock on Target, which can give a bonus on future shots, or do a focused Augur Array, which can list the ship components of the enemy ship?  It's the same roll for me either way, with different results potentially.

Intimidate, sure. +0 base check.

Any chance I can use Fel, since I'm trying to convince them to surrender & (maybe) live?

No, that's still an Intimidation attempt.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

What's the consensus folks, do we push for a boarding action & risk damage to the Kiss but with potential for a bigger payout or tell them to bugger off, less risk of damage & claim what's left of the wreck as spoils of war?

Technically you could also fire on them and salvage two wrecks instead of one…

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

There's 3 ships actually right?  The one that was sending the signal too.

Make one more demand and advise the next response will be similar to the one that wrecked the other ship.

There is the missionary ship as well, yes. It was disabled, with its emergency beacon active to lure in more prey.

Might want to accompany that next demand as well with auspex target locking. No need to be subtle about it. We're playing the predatory posturing game, after all.

My thoughts exactly. If the consensus is that were going for the big prize, I'll try to get a post up tonight. If my preggers Mrs doesn't have other demands, that is :D

I already have a target lock on them.  We could simply broadcast the coordinates that I have to let them know.

Definitely investing in some more offensive powers later on but getting a post out to say Aline is coming along shortly. If it's actually a parley, I can do some cheeky things to swing it assuming the navigator doesn't pick up on it.

Assuming they actually have a Navigator and are not doing short hops and that is why they are operating seemingly just the pathway between Port Wander and Footfall.

Description of the docking bay explicitly states the presence of a navigator. So... good odds lol. Plus with pirate rabble... Probably want a psyker near at hand to tell you if something's funky anyway.

Totally missed that when I was reading that post.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

On it. Been prepping for the imminent arrival of the heir to the dynasty. Every time I think we've got everything more stuff gets added to the list. For some reason this includes a massive amount of chocolate & sweets for in the go-bag.

Edit: Not quite as on it as I'd have liked. Come home from work & started with  some suspiciously covid-like symptoms. Waiting on test results but feeling like crap right now.

Re: The Wardroom: Out of Character (OoC)

I don't think I can be your GM any more.

This is hard for me. I didn't think I would ever get to this point, but it's become impossible to deny. Creating and running these games has never stopped being a joy for me, but I can't seem to convince myself to do it anymore. After I decided I needed to admit it, I felt relief.

I doubt it will be forever, but it's for the foreseeable future.

Your friend and game master,
