sh.., well, no additional drain damage at least.

That's the way I see it too.

Don't worry, I got my brass knuckles!

I know that those in the Van aren't there yet...
The question is, how long does it take to get from the Garage to the SS.
We left with time to spare...
But it might be easiest, if we aren't able to make it in time.


Thyme...

Well, I'd have 7 dice for driving/chasing...

Let's call it seven minutes and nine seconds. You'll arive at the end of the third round of combat. By then either the orks will all be down, theys will be escaping (in which case the van can be used to give chase), or the PCs will be in serious need of your backup.

Sounds good to me....


Thyme...

In SR4 you can cover any number of people with your entire counterspelling skill so long as they are all in LOS.

So three dice for as many folks as you want to have it.

Uh, he isn´t into Halo? I thought everyone was into Halo ! Or did you just not bother, to list her up, because she´s allways on default

Well, probably, he gives no massage to girls who beat him on the road

He doesn't view Halo that way since he sees her as more of one of the guys.

JJ give me a massage? Though enjoyable at the time, who knows what I'd be missing on my person by the time he was done!

So...very, very true.

Actually it was exactly 2 hours off. I had originally planned to do it a different way and then I had to move it up to synch in with other people's stories, and then I subtracted an hour instead of adding an hour at the beginning and then I just kept incrementing the orignal time stamp. That's what happens when you make time stamp changes late at night - stupid crap happens. Sorry about that.

Well, you only get one free action a pass, now, so if you're not ready to counterspell, or someone leaves and returns to your vision, you may not have them covered.

Yes, you get the +2 to active skills, but not to passive counterspelling

Not only that, but the standard drain on spirit summon where the spirit rolls 2 hits is 4P for a character with a Magic of 2 - so at this point TF has taken 5 Physical Damage. I think maybe he should sit down and stop summoning things for a bit. Maybe until medical help can arrive...

---

BTW, we may want to use the "more predictable drain" house rule, where the Drain Code for Conjuring is 1/2 Force + Spirit Hits instead of double hits. That would be good for TF whose spirits apparently roll crazy high, and bad for Raven whose spirits roll crazy low (she'd have to actually make a Drain Resistance test). Although even then TF would have taken 3 Physical damage, and would be down a die on conjuring until someone administers first aid.

Cammy is also there, around the side of the building in the parking lot.

BTW, we may as well make Initiative Rolls right about now:

Cammy goes off at 7. Which would be more than a little unfortunate if she didn't have a passable hiding place out of the direct line of fire.

-Frank

Uh ...

I mean really, Uh

Wow, I totally got that mixed up, damn, his ancastors are killing him!

Well, I guess, we really need to pick up nurse or something. I´d say we should initiate her into the gang NOW

No, really, if in any way possible, I´d like to see her, befor showing up. First aid only takes half a minute!

Don't begrudge him too much for dissing your race to your face (he has a shotgun in his freakin' arm!).

Well, is there any reason why we don't?

I am a noob when it comes to thinking in terms of what these new commlinks are actually capable of doing.

Hmm?

Page 178 says, that spirits on remote services no longer count against the limit of summoned spirits (which might be the limit of a single unbound spirit, as I understand it).

Page 179 says (under *Summoning*), that spirits on remote service and standby count against the bound spirit total (= Charisma).

I think, that they really mean exactly what TG has house ruled there...


But apart from that... when I send an unbound spirit on standby, can I then really summon another? So, is the limit mostly, that you can have only one at a time, but you really can have (Charisma) spirits hanging around for the day, when you summon them in preparation?

That's more Drain on average than the standard rules... 1/3 Force + Hits would be the same.

But I think the unpredictable nature of the Drain is very much intended.

There's a minimum Drain of 2 DV for summoning, so you always have to make a Drain Resistance test.

EDIT: Got to read up on everything I post in the future, I guess.

EDIT2: Hm, was that erated, the description is a bit fuzzy, but I guess your interpretation is right.

Considering the amount of hackers and Technos we have in the group, I would almost expect us to have established an encrypted channel, that way Wyrm and Electrode could keep a mental note on the channel and not have to worry about commcodes.

Both JJ and Wyrm have used a 'group signal' so far in RP.

"A power focus adds its Force to all tests in which the magician's Magic is included."

That's the whole effect. The rest is just flavor text or further explanation.
