Session One: Funky Martian Monks (CowBoy BeBop OOC)

[KitanaVorr]

Okay what do you guys think about this montage for our own cowboy bebop intro?

 

[Daiymo]

Very Nice Kitana. I think I just found my wallpaper for this month.

 

[Krizzel]

hehe, yes I like it too. I was wondering how you were going to get everyone's pictures to fit together, but it works

 

[Tokiwong]

looks dandy to me

 

[KitanaVorr]

So everyone correct their characters except for Vincent b/c I haven't gotten to him yet...I'll get to him tonight.

And once everything is dandy, then I'll put up the IC thread and the new CowBoy BeBop season shall begin!

 

[Daiymo]

Mine should be done- I look forward to starting

/cues up The Seatbelts theme song....

Buying equipment

DO NOT ROLL

You MUST take a 10 or 20 as per the instructions on page 91 of the D20Modern book on Character Creation. This will reduce your wealth bonus if you buy objects greater than your starting wealth bonus.

If you take a 10 your wealth bonus will be reduced by +1

If you take a 20 your wealth bonus will be reduced by +2 (instead of rolling 1d6+1...I'm being nice)

For example...you have a wealth bonus of +5...you want to buy a gun of DC 15. You make sure you buy EVERYTHING you want that is DC 5 or lower before you do this. You take a 10 so now you have +15...you buy the weapon DC 15. Now your wealth bonus is +4. Now you want something that is DC 15 again. You take a 20...so now your wealth bonus is +2.

Please list DC for each object and the order that you bought it.

EDIT:

Licences are on page 93

License DC 10
Restricted DC 15+2 = DC 17 b/c the only way you're getting these guns is on the black market
No military guns unless you have military history.
No illegal guns for you either unless you want to be arrested on the spot for using them.

Hmm in light at glancing at the equipment some of you have listed...I realize that there is something very wrong.

Could each of you post here in the OOC thread exactly what you bought, in the order that you bought it and show me the decrease in wealth bonus after each equipment bought over your current wealth bonus?

It will save me time having to go through the character profiles again.

If you don't want to buy using this method, then I will use the method that's in the book to calculate your purchases.

Thanks!

EDIT: Remember that once your wealth bonus hits +0, you can't buy anything. If your wealth bonus is a +1, you cannot take a 20.

Ok with wealth bonus of +6, I bought

2 extra box magazines DC5
Conceal Holster DC 5
Med Kit DC 15 take 10, -1 to wealth now +5
Cell Phone DC 9 -1 wealth now +4
Leather jacket DC 10 now +3
Firearm License DC 10 now +2
Beretta DC 16 wealth now 0

Doh! the power of numbers eludes me. I'll change my wealth to zero

Vincent Lam

Will Save: +3(+1Dedicated +2Charismatic)

You spent the right number of skill points, but you spent one of them as dedicated instead of as charismatic.

6 skill points for dedicated but you spent 2 on investigate, listen, sense motive and 1 on spot which are the dedicated class skills.

Your starting wealth is +7

ok buy your equipment now
