OOC Chat IV

[Norjax]

We appear to be stalled.

Are you resting for another day and night, or heading back to the Morlock area today (game day)?

[Yrkoon]

Perhaps the more seriously injured among us should make the call.

Hit Points [Luck Points]:

Belial – 28/57 [0/9]
Denslow – 24/42 [8/16]
Silvestri – 45/60 [1/14]

Farmanus – 45/87 [13/13]

Denslow, Belial and MacMak. Please respond.

[Yrkoon]

None of Farmanus' stuff is perishable. It'll keep. As long as the rations hold out, maybe another day of rest will help ensure a successful outcome to retrieving his equipment.

Denslow: Another day of rest with the day spent learning to use the artifacts would be good.

[Zhym]

How do the mechanics work again for one person teaching another how to use an artifact? Can we backdate someone trying to teach Kurot to use the blaster and the grenade, or can we only do that if we rest another day?

[Urson]

Yeah, another day of R&R would be a good idea.

The character must roll a 10 or more on 1d20 + Artifact Roll modifier.

If they fail, they must wait 24 hours before trying again.

A "1" is a Critical Failure with the artifact breaking irreparably and damage inflicted as if a fumble (1) on the Artifact Roll Table

[Zhym]

Do we combine modifiers when one person is teaching another? Or is the teaching aspect already taken into account in the target number for the roll?

There are no additional modifiers to the roll. The teaching aspect must be where the Difficulty Class of 10 is derived from.

I'm moving forward with the group resting another day and night at your current location.

Please indicate any actions you will perform during this time (such as learning to use and artifact) in the game thread.

...

[Yrkoon]

It may be a lost cause, but can Farmanus learn how to use any artifacts?
What rolls would be necessary?

With an INT of 6, the MCC book says Farmanus' max tech level is 1. I assume this precludes him from even trying an artifact check on a blaster or a grenade. Yes?

Yes, or the character level whichever is higher.

[Urson]

Everyone's just getting weapons. ...business as usual.

[Norjax]

Update coming this week. I'm behind due to R.L.

[Zhym]

What kind of attack roll would be needed to try to knock out one of the lights with an arrow or rifle shot?

[Norjax]

Base AC is 14.

Attack roll is +1d (ex. 1d24) plus appropriate modifiers.

Folks:
I wanted to thank everyone for their unwitting help this last month.

On August 10th, my wife died of colon cancer. I was hit pretty hard, as you can imagine. Getting on this site every day and participating in the games has been a solid anchor of normalcy for me. I'm still adjusting- and will be for the forseeable future. But these games, and you folks, have helped me get through the worst of it.
Don't worry that you said something which might have hurt me. You didn't. Even if you had, you didn't know, so don't worry 'bout it.

[Norjax]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Bob. You have my deepest sympathy.

I'm glad we were able to help you cope with such a tragic loss.
