psi - telepathy

Rolled for the prison skills on your behalf - Stealth and J-o-A-T plus an improvised knife and a gain in strength.

So just a birth date and the colleague determinations to go.

Oh yes - That additional talent...Either +1 to an existing talent or roll for a new talent at -3+2+talent DM.

[cybersavant]

thanks - which book has the prion tables?


so a +1 to telepathy for escape, any psi +1 for the talent, stealth 0, jack of all trades 0, str +1

so Sazqelmiqariepr escaped from the slave mines on Faraway (Khouth) [Dzarrgh Federate] and is now on Talon (Million) [UFA] - so, i figure he must have stowed away on a supply ship to get off world - or something -

No PSI+1, but +1 to an existing talent or roll for a new talent at -1+TalentSelectionDM needing 8+
The Stealth and JOT were +1 not +0 (updated on sheet already).
The prison tables are in the core rulebook. (The Zhodani wouldn't have been so crude as to imprison you)

[BackworldTraveller]

The Bindoner:
Today (5th) is the equivalent of day 278 by the imperial calendar

All: Re Connections Step

I've been thinking how the Zhodani and Aslan might have met...Perhaps a diplomatic dinner followed by travelling on the same ship for a few weeks some time before the kidnap? Two Aliens in an Imperial Universe?

The Zhodani and Vargr Marine could have been in the same escape or used the same set of people smugglers to cross into the UFA? I can't see any other points of commonality but am open to suggestions.

The Aslan and Vargr Navy(Corsair) could only have met recently because of the timing of their respective voyages

And the two Vargr seem to have the possibility of as long or as short a history as they fancy. Met at school (only possible if The Bindoner's Vargr is from Talon) or on their first mission or any time up until the Navy is left and Corsairing starts.

Effectively each of you then gets two skills at +1 (any skill, no talents, no attribute boosts, no raising a skill DM above 3) but I'd like to know how that skill is relevant to the character's relationship. n.b. The two characters with the relationship don't have to chose the same skill.

All: re Package Skills
Can you also, please decide upon an order for picking package skills. I couldn't decide if Sazqelimqariepr should go first (few skill) or last (no skills to clash with) or somewhere in the middle...so voting is now open.
As a reminder, the skills are:-

• Pilot(Any)+1
• Engineer(Life Support)+1
• Engineer(Jump)+1
• Mechanic+1
• Electronics(Any)+1
• Gunner(Screens)+1
• Leader+1 or Tactics(Any)+1
• Vacc Suit+1
• Athletics(Dex)+1

n.b. Package skills give you the skill at 1 and cannot raise an existing skill above 1.

Also you can each pick one of the below...each can be picked only once.

• Contact(Dzarrgh Federate Navy)
• Contact(Khouth Criminal Boss)
• Contact(UFA Customs Official)
• Advanced Probe Drone
• Psi-Helmet
• HUD/VR Contact lenses, Holo-Control Gloves, Computer-5, Software up to Cr100,000

I marked in pink the things I already have/don't want.

I can easily see my Vargr pilot and the Aslan meeting recently, and it seems likely that the Marine and Navy careers would save thrown the two Vargr together frequently.

[BackworldTraveller]

The two Vargr have each undertaken actions that may be memorialised by appropriate Tattoos
Unnamed Navy Guy: For saving the ship
Denghez: Black Op, Heroics and Escape

Do you have those tattoos? What do they look like?

Also, how many siblings do you each have?
Any Children?

[The Bindoner]

The pilot is Rradzoka.

He has a younger sister, Zoenkoe.

His father had two other partners, either side of his relationship with Rradzoka's mother, and 4 other pups, one being an older sister. The younger half-siblings are male, female and male. Rradzoka doesn't have a close relationship with his half-siblings, but there is no ill-feeling either.


He has "tattoos" celebrating his achievements. He prefers not to shave his fur to display skin, so he uses other means. Some are painted on his equipment, some are stencilled on his coat. The one marking the "saving of the ship" is a permanent adjustment to his fur - the pattern is formed by modified follicles producing altered hair, a little thicker and in contrasting colour.

(the design, I'm working on. Maybe a Droyne being burned by the the flare of a ship's thrusters?)

Pups? I'll consult the dice. I'm inclining to the idea that, since they didn't come up as life event, if there are any children he isn't aware of them.
