After Earth OOC

[Mithran]

Edited in equipment. Hopefully you're alright with the modded shotgun. Seemed like the most appropriate weapon for shipboard combat I could afford, really.

 

[Blackrat]

Ok.
Now there are few decisions to make before we start:
First: Someone needs to be declared as the captain of the ship. I'd suggest Faris as he has the best diplomacy.
Second: The name of your ship. You need to name it. Stewie doesn't allow you to use the old name Far Star as it is now the name of the whole company.
And lastly: Your ship is programmed with artificial personality. It is up to you to decide is it initially switched on or off. It can be switched later with computer use check

Characters look good. Finish 'em up and we'll be ready to start.

A quick question: Im not familiar with d20 future equipment, as I saw in the documents, there are several "Ages". Which of them do I use to get the equipment from?

 

[Blackrat]

Ah yes. You can buy gear from progress levels 5 and 6. You can buy any basic equipment from pl 5 and 6. Humanity had reached pl 6 before the attack so any pl 5 equipment will have a purchase DC 2 lower than usual, and pl 6 equpment will cost the normal. Weapons and armour have a lot more restrictions: Not many earth weapons were brought along to the colonies. You may have any common pistols from pl 5 but the ammunition will have a purchase DC 2 higher than norm. Weapons available from PL 6 is laser weapons and Fletchette weapons (From Future Tech)

Lets see how this works... Lets try the wealth check
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200503
and now the droid check DC 18, wealth 8+4= 12 So I need a 6
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200526 Wealth -2
Now for a laser pistol DC 17 so I need a 7...
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200533 Wealth -2
And another one...
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200534 Fail! T_T
Lets try ammunition...
Power packs.. DC 8, +2 = 10 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200555 Wealth -1
Mechanical Tools DC 14
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200556 Wealth -1

So current wealth is 6.
Correct me If I'm wrong, it is really messy

Voda, I really hate to say this but remember that your wealth goes down by 1 every time you make a purchase with a DC of 15+...(I know there are some other wealth reducers that I don't remember off the top of my head, but should be in the SRD) buy all your goodies with DCs equal or less to your wealth bonus before the expensive stuff

Voda, I really hate to say this but remember that your wealth goes down by 1 every time you make a purchase with a DC of 15+...(I know there are some other wealth reducers that I don't remember off the top of my head, but should be in the SRD) buy all your goodies with DCs equal or less to your wealth bonus before the expensive stuff

Automatically by 1 if it is over DC of 15, and also down by 1 if it is 1-10 over your current wealth level.

So the droid purchase drops his wealth from 8 to 6; SInce the laser pistol is then 11 over his current wealth, purchasing it will cost him 1 (for DC15+) PLUS 1d6. So that purchase could drop him to 0 wealth.

 

[Blackrat]

Yeh, but you can take 20 when making initial purchases. I think I should have made this more clear to start with.

 

[Rhun]

Also remember that our PCs are second level, which means a bit of additional wealth. If you need help figuring out how wealth works, you can use my PC's for an example:

Starting Wealth: 9 (Roll=7, +2 occupation)
--2nd level Profession Check: 20 (Roll=16+4 profession bonus), beats current wealth of 9 by 11, adds +3 to total wealth
2nd level Wealth: 12
--Purchased Laser Pistol (DC17), reducing wealth to 10 (1 for DC15+ PLUS 1 for 1-10 over current wealth)
--Purchase TEC-9 (DC14), reducing wealth to 9 (1 for 1-10 over current wealth)

Current Wealth: 9

 

[Blackrat]

I'll add my help in also. Your Initial wealth is calculated by the wealth roll + your occupation. Technician adds 3. So at first level you get wealth 11 using your roll of 8.
Check the description of profession skill to determine how you calculate wealth increase for lvl 2.
