Recruiting: Bug Hunters

[mariusm]

Agh! Um...I hope I'm not too late. If so, maybe I can pop in later...

Are there rules/limitations/etc in Starship Troopers canon regarding psionics, or shall I just mix in a level of Psion or Psionic Warrior with the Light Infantry levels?

I was kinda hoping for more feedback on that subject before I started bashing numbers.

That said, I'll get a sheet up and running by tonight, if I'm still eligible.

You can still join if you want... just post your character in the RG thread.

I have no clue which bugs we encountered till now, but I guess warrior bugs are "common" so Cyrill will be immune to them.

I will edit the chracter sheet accordingy.

 

[Shayuri]

Sheet is up! I took the Mobile Infantry class rather than the Light MI like a lot of people. If that's a problem, lemme know. I'm not sure if a squad will mix and match like that.

I took the Wild Talent feat from the d20 Modern SRD to reflect psi potential. With permission, I may ask for some Telepath class levels too. If I need special training for that, lemme know.

 

[mariusm]

Ok.

That's fine... I have updated the details on my side.

All is fine... I am going to replace "Trooper 1" in the dropship with you now. You can post your actions in the game thread from now on.

Shayuri.

Hi,

I think you may need to change something on your character posted in the RG thread.
I was calculating your attack bonuses and I think it may be like this...

Melee: +3 (Base Attack Bonus) +2 (Strength of 15 in power suit) = +5
Ranged: +3 (Base Attack Bonus) +3 (Dex) +1 (Power Suit) = +7

Please let me know if you disagree.

Cheers,
Marius.

 

[Shayuri]

Actually, I'm sure you're correct. I just don't have the stats for power armor available to me.

Thanks for the catch!

 

[JonnyFive]

just a question, but there is a reflex save for a burst attack from a rifle?!?

 

[Cromm10k]

IIRC you attack 4 (or more?) squares with a burst and every target in them has to make a ref save.

 

[Shayuri]

Not exactly. There's a difference between autofire (which attacks a 10x10 area and allows a save) and a burst (which uses 5 rounds to attack a single target at -4 penalty, doing +2 dice damage on a hit). I suspect that's the confusion here.
