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

[PolterGhost]

Oh oh! Hee.

Basically, 1 through 18 is bought 1 for 1.

Then 19 is bought for 25 points, and 20 is bought for 30 points.

Basically, the point buy replaces the random roll of 2d10, with extra costs on the 19 and 20 results.

You know what humors me about this? 19 costs more than 20 to get to. You have to spend 18 points to get to 18, an extra 7 points to get to 19, and then an extra 5 to get to 20.



So GM, what if I make a character after this is all well and started? Is that okay, would I have to wait for a certain time to jump in, or what? If you wanted, I could just throw one of my pre-gens on here (substantially weaker than doing point buy, but hey, I like random stats more than choosing them) and call it a day.

**Notes:
Guardsmen can start play with a Shotgun, I payed the difference between shotgun(60) and Pump Action Shotgun(75) to 'upgrade'. I hope this is OK, it's the only way I could afford one and it's so much cooler than the normal.
Also, as a 'thematic' thing, rather than an actual Sword, He'll be weilding a very large Catachan knife (Basically a machete)

You can random roll, see what it totals to and then add some 'till you get to 120

Just start on your character, It'll be a bit before the lead/light/ion/warpforce starts to fly

Jemal : no worries 'bout the shotgun.

I'll get you all started on where you are and what you're doing, so we can work a bit on the background, and then we start playing.

If all is calm at work tonight you can expect a few posts tonight, else tomorrow

 

[DrZombie]

Allright, could evryone who hasn't put his char in the rogue gallery yet put it there.
Those who have a char, could you post a physical description on your charsheet?
We're allmost ready to go!

[The Joker]

are you guys full up then?

 

[DrZombie]

Hi guys. I'm waiting for replies from jackslate and ruiktheforgotten. I'll advance the story in 12 hrs.
Joker, feel free to make a character, I might have lost a few players, and as is the way of pbp games, I'm sure there will be a turnover of players.

Cheers,

DrZ
