Recruiting: Bug Hunters

[Cromm10k]

MI get their consitution score hp at first level and 2 hp per level after that...

I am aware of this. So no con bonus for 2nd... lvl of M.I.? And what if I multiclass in Tracer, which has a d8? With my build of M.I. Light Trooper/Tracer 3/1 I will get con score + 2 + 1d8+con bonus as HPs for the Tracer levels? Strange but it will work.

More questions:

- Do we need armor profs.?
- What about ammo?
- What about a sniperrifle? I'm fine with the Morita but for the future...
- The weapon prof. feat chain from the Starship Troopers stuff is different then the one from D20Modern, right? Which do we use?

EDIT: changed the HPs, my skillpoints are correct after my math.

Nifty!

All joking aside, are psychics allowed? In the first movie, it was implied psychics wind up as officer material...though other sources seem to indicate psychics can be ground pounders too.

Perhaps as latent abilities that develop during the game?

That's fine with me. Later this morning I am going to post the background and first mission details for the team, the Omega Pathfinders!

PS: I am a newbie to the Starship Troopers RPG but familiar with other campaign worlds so if I miss something or make a mistake please forgive me.

hey cromm, yer skillpoints are a bit jacked up. after the PE, yer skills have class maxranks, but they cost crossclass points. by my math you come up with 65 points. also, unless the gm changed the rule, LI get only 1hp per level, not 2. please let me know if i'm wrong on any of thies points thanks

 

[Cromm10k]

I edited my character for the HPs. But after my math I only used 60 skillpoints. And I paid for Investigation and Knowl. streetwise double after 1st lvl.

@Jonny: there is the standard M.I. Trooper in the "Serving the
federation" pdf.

 

[JonnyFive]

yea i know, but without the weapons i want to spec in, there is no point innot using the light trooper

ahh i see. i was counting only the PE skills could be used as reg points for the classes, but you can use first level points for em as well. interesting wording they have though

Mission One.

Background: The Omega Pathfinders are a Roughneck Squad that have been involved with the war with the Arachnids since the start. They are called upon to do various special
needs missions required by the federation. The Omega Pathfinders have had a high attrition rate due to the dangerous missions they are sent one and currently there are
a few veterans and a few new recruits that make up the squad. Currently there was a resurgence in the encounters with Arachnids on the planet Fomalhaut where there was limited colonisation manning a maintenance and refuelling station. SCION sent the Pathfinders to investigate the launch station on the planets surface and found everything to be in order.

Current Mission: The Pathfinders have just completed a successful sweep of the launch station on Fomalhaut in the Orbits Jokul system. They were on their way back up to the orbiting platform, Fomalhaus, when they received a distress call... a transport returning to the launch station from an outlying colony was clipped by a plasma blast and went down hard. The Pathfinders, being the closest military unit, must locate the downed transport and secure a landing zone until a dropship can arrive in 30 minutes from the Fomalhaus. The mission will start with your slingshot drop ship touching down near the viking landing boat.

OCC: Once I have updated the characters on my side I will post to indicate that the thread will move to the game forum and we can get started.

 

[JonnyFive]

Do we have a command structure (I don't know if this is the right word)? We need a squad leader or something similar.

"Patience young Padawan!"

I'm just to eager to start...
