Dark Heresy FOR THE EMPEROR!!! OOC thread - always recruiting, give a shout

[Jemal]

I'm still interested, just trying to figure out how to respond to that Vision. Anything I said right now would just be a random response with no real meaning, b/c I haven't had enough time with the character to get to the point where I could predict what he'd do that far into the future, that's why I originally posted the pulling away without responding to it.. b/c I honestly don't know how.
Guess I'll just flip a coin. Heads they live, tails I fire.

Don't think of it as a future thing. Think of it as a sort of character test.

Would he:

1) Open fire now, thus destroying the heart of the Armies of Chaos and securing a vital victory for the Imperium, and potentially saving many other worlds?

or

2) Be moved by compassion for the innocents below and hold his fire, allowing them to be evacuated, but giving this planet to Chaos in the process...meaning they can use it as a staging point to launch further attacks against other worlds in the future?

Don't think in terms of, "Twenty years from now, what would he do?" Think, "What would he do if he was put in this situation -right now- and supplied with false memories of how he got here?"

Does McClane have it in him to sacrifice lives to achieve objectives? Or would he save those lives and hope he could somehow make up for the failed objective some other place and time?

That's all the vision is really 'asking,' as far as I can tell.

...

Okay, I admit, once I saw you were having a tough time, I read your vision.

*hangs head*

Sorry.

@ the Joker. The command needs to be put in brackets [] and there's a few commands you can use. You put [command] before the line you want it to work on and [/command] if you want it to end.
You can put command=something in it to name buttons and such. I don't know if ther's a post that deals with this somewhere on the boards? The ones i know are:
sblock is the little dropdown menu i use, so sblock=TheJoker would be the one I use to make a dropdown text for you.
url is used to make a link to a webpage so url=webadres my homepage /url would look like this my homepage if you use brackets []

@ Jemal : damned if you do, damned if you don't. That was kinda the point . Remember, in the 40th millennium, ruthlessness is a virtue, mercy a weakness.

[MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] (and all the rest): I don't mind if you read the posts meant for the other players.

ok, ill test it out now

[sblock] testing it out now, lol see? im no lier. thank alot Dr. [/sblock]

ohhh!!! i see my mistake now. i thought his remote was thrown to kincade, not kestrell. my mistake

and i have a question only for the GM, Dr zombie.

[sblock] i was wondering, can i use the dodge talent to jump in the way of a bullet ment for someone elce, rather then jump out of the way? [/sblock]

and another question. i was just wondering. the 400 xp you start with for free in the start, does that mean when you get your first 100 xp, it will put you at the next rank for your class? or do you start at 0 xp, with the first 400 as just a treat?

 

[Jemal]

BTW, joker, if you want to address an sblock to someone specific, just use (Sblock=that guy) (/sblock), instead of just (sblock)(/sblock), and it'll show as
[sblock=that guy]This[/sblock]

I know the doc said the same thing, but figured I'd reiterate with an example.

Also, I'll have my IC post fixed up soon, just taking care of my DMing responsibilities first.

A bit of both. You start the game with 400 XP, which you can spend. Now you get another 500, which you can also spend. You rise a level the moment you have spent 500 XP for buying skills and stuff. You can have 15.000 XP but still be level 1 if you don't spend it. So, to answer your question : you have bought stuff using 400 xp at the start of the game, which means that if you buy another 100 XP worth of stuff, your character goes up a level and you can buy things from both lvl 1 and lvl 2 thing.

Should you get hold of 'The Radicals Handbook' on p56 there's a background package called 'the Penal Legionnaire' which you get for free. As long as a character or NPC controls your explosive collar you can buy these advancements regardless of your level as long as you have the required prerequisites:


Advancement/Cost/Type/Prerequisite
Berserk Charge/100/T/-
Deceive/100/S/-
Deceive+10/200/T/Deceive
Hatred(any one)/100/T/-
Intimidate/100/S/-
Intimidate+10/200/S/Intimidate
Intimidate+20/300/S/Intimidate+10
Jaded/100/T/-
Light Sleeper/100/T/Per30
Nerves of Steel/100/T/-
Paranoia/100/T/-
Resistance(Fear)/100/T/-
Sound Constitution/100/S/-

Your other question : I'll allow it as a hard (-20) test.

No worries, take your time
