First off, Yikes! Take care of you! Been there and done that! Not fun. I'l try to break it down here...

Roy: 67
Joker: 85
Average= 76 different parts are what you have collectively been able to come up with that you need to accomplish this after some back and forth on what can do what and how.

So you figured out already how to make this work with 76 parts.

What is available in the Firehouse now from parts and appliances you can cannibalize to make it?
[1d76] = 39

So out of 76 parts you have found 39 of them in the Firehouse.

Total cost in parts:
Total $7,600 if you buy the parts outright.
Parts $3,900 if you use what is around you.
===========
Net: $3,700 what you would need to spend no matter what.

Or, you can both roll some impossible brains with your specialties and hope you get >40 to get some real Mad Scientist level innovation and I will say you can cobble it together from parts and appliances in the firehouse which you will then replenish outright later.


All that to say you have three options.

Spend $7,600 and build the perfect piece of equipment with brand new parts.

Or use the parts you have readily available, and knock the total you would have to spend on extras to $3,700.

Now... If you and Roy want to really strain your brains, you can make an impossible roll, using your specialties and any amount of Bps you like, to roll 40 or more, and be able to go full-on Egon Spangler and cobble this thing together with stuff around the firehouse MacGeyver Style. There will be zero Cost other than you have used all your spare parts plus some extra later for things like the coffee maker that you took the heating element out of.

Pulpatoon wrote:Just a heads up: It will take about 12 or 13 d6's to reliably break a result of 40.

Specifically, 12d6 gives you a 66% chance; 13d6 gives you an 83% chance.

(14d6: 93%; 15d6: 98%)
