Mutant Future - Raiders of the Mind Lord's Tomb (Recruiting two more fine mutants)

[Vertexx69]

all mutants and androids get big reaction penalties. This isn't mars you know Most regular ppl might have only seen 1 mutant ever in their lives not to mention an android. Let alone a whole mixed band of them.

Right, but a synthetic android is not obvious as being an android under most circumstances. That's what I meant.

Okay...some confusion here from the pdf. It mentions writing down the saving throws based on level, but it never actually tells you what the saving throws by level ARE. Little help?

Also, is language something I should be concerned with? By intelligence, I'd get 2 bonus languages, but there's no information provided aside from 'consult the ML.'

Are we assuming my character has been active in the world for a period of time previous to this? I'm assuming so, since I start with normal equipment and so on...just sort of trying to work this stuff out, background-wise. Presumably my character is up to speed on the current status of the world, though is not experienced or familiar with it beyond the most general of facts.

Oh, also, it seems androids get a big reaction penalty...but synthetics are indistiguishable from human beings until injured or scanned with certain sensors. I'm assuming that reaction penalty takes place when a character's true nature is discovered in that case.

Yeah, I wish the manual had a more intuitive design. They put saving throw information on p. 50 for some reason.

These are the saves for level 1: Energy 15. Poison, Death 12. Stun 14. Radiation 13.

For languages, everyone can speak at least some Wasteland Common. Each inhabited region also has its own tongue that's based more on geography than race. If you have 2 bonus languages, you can make up names for 2 regions. You character will be conversant in the language of those regions. I'll make sure they come into play

Your character can be as fresh or seasoned as you want. Maybe he accumulated his equipment over years of experience, or maybe he just got really lucky and discovered a big stash.

Reaction rolls won't be a huge factor because you may not deal with pure humans at all during this adventure. They're all being boring and living in enclaves at opposite ends of the wasteland. Some mutants have lived whole lives without seeing one. But there aren't many androids left, and they are generally feared. You may face prejudice if your identity is revealed.

Thanks. And just to make sure I'm not missing something else buried in a weird place...is it the case there are no 'skills' or noncombat abilities?

 

[Electric Wizard]

There's no formal skill system. Non-combat resolutions are based on simple ability score checks or just plain luck, if they require rolls at all.

 

[Shayuri]

Okay. Sheet's about ready. How do you want to get me in the action?

 

[Electric Wizard]

Cool. The first battle should be coming up soon. If you're ready, pop in anytime before then. How you find the group is up to you, but it will probably have something to do with the big explosion.

I will be celebrating Christmas, so this will be my last post for about two days. Have a happy holiday, everyone!

wow so that's an obese, sentient house cat that takes 2d6 damage when it comes into contact with water, takes double dmg from everything else, and has no combat ability whatsoever. But can see 90ft by sound and play useless mind games? Yeah that's an adventuring snac... er I mean character. Congratulations you just rolled a standard shut-in chat-room enthusiast!
