Be a Ranger! Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune (Re-recruiting)

Ditto :). I really really really love B5 and this is awesome game, but we really need at least 1 more player I think, if we want to keep it going.

I wouldn't feel "trapped" if we continued, but I do think we need another player (who *isn't* a sock-puppet for Reveille! :rant:). I enjoy the difference in flavour to all the fantasy games I'm involved with, and Ash and Sarhat both have excellent character arc potential.

I think what I'll have to do is put the game on hold for the moment and see if I can recruit any more players. Watch this space.
 

Hmm. I wonder if Rhun would be interested... I know he loves B5 at least almost as much as I do :D

I'll PM him and ask.

So, Shak-Na Linnmer, is he a Warrior or Religious? There is slight difference how Sarhat treats him depending on it. Being a captain of a ship makes it more likely for him to be warrior but you never know of those Anla'Shok :D

And since minbari usually shape their bonegrowth depending on it, it is usually apparent for another minbari

Also, is it possible for Sarhat to requisition a minbari pistol from the Whitestar?
 

Linnmer is Religious caste. (Sarhat has heard that there are even some Worker caste Anla'shok, although since there are human, yolu and even pak'ma'ra rangers, it's hard to be shocked these days).

Requisitioning a pistol would be a matter for using Influence (with the ISA, in this case). You all now have +5 Influence with the ISA after acquiring Raive and the Shadow-tech thing. DC for requisitioning supplies = 12

3d6+5 = 12. So... yes.
 

Levelling up

Your characters gain the following advances from the adventure:

1000 xp, making you all level 2

+4 Influence with the ISA, giving you +5 in total.

You can either choose to advance to level 2 in your current class, or you are eligible for multi-classing in any of the following:

Agent -You did sneaky stuff.
Diplomat - You did talky stuff.
Lurker - You did stuff with scuzzy people.
Soldier - You had to fight people.
Trader - Your cover story rubbed off on you.
 

Hooray!

I am curious about Agent and Diplomat classes. I am also curious about the 2nd level of Telepath.

Hmm. I wonder if any of this is available online so I don't hafta bug you about it.
 

Don't know if it's online. All the class rules etc. are Open Content, so there could be a wiki somewhere.

Anyway:
