Do we know how old Slam is? I'm fleshing out Halo's thoughts on the members of the gang, so I'm curious as to just how much older he is than her.

Just for future reference about the whole perception deal. I really don't care if you wanna say you could hear us. It actually takes a simple action in order to use your full perception, otherwise if not "observing in detail" you take a -2 to your perception roll. Thus, you can't eat, can't fire a bullet, can't even be talking at the same time (unless you use the free action phrase). The directional microphone i would assume would offer you a bonus that you had not counted in, unless your earbuds are not rating 3.
But for Roleplaying purposes, imagine a team infiltrating a building, and you always see the leader put up a fist, stops everyone, and sits there and listens/looks only. That's when you can use full perception on a "observe in detail" otherwise, you are considered distracted (even though you may be on full alert.)

Iīm aware of this, TF did nothing else except listening to them. Well, except watching Nurse, but he didnīt concentrate on her. It was less then half a minute or something, or was it longer?
He would only have been distracted/not observing in detail, when he first picked up thair voices (maybe missing the 1st half sentance). But when he tuned in on them, he did nothing else, except staring a hole through Nurse and holding his waffel.
I donīt really care if he heard them either, but heīs a nosy guy, so he would not resist to evesdropping.
EDIT: Whenever I say, the character listens in on s.th., etc. when heīs not in a combat or doing something else that is not easyly interrupted, I consider this observing in detail.

Concerning karma, how do we go about spending it? Can we just use it and we instantly "grow in power" or do we RP it? |
Good question. The first time you increase something will be "instant" in that you've been using it all along and have just gotten a little better at it. Training doesn't take any actual time.
However, I'm thinking that you'll probably have to wait (new level) x2 weeks to raise the same thing again. So if you went from 3 to 4, you'd have to wait 8 weeks before raising the same skill/stat again. It'd take 30 weeks to go from 0 to 6 in a skill under this system. I haven't settled on this, though, so I'll entertain opinions on it before I make a final ruling.

About 28 sounds good.
For listening in, it'd have to be very intentional if you're using a directional mic. If you were just using general audio enhancements, I'd say no... but you have to point the mic. You would also, by necessity, probably need to focus on the listening.
I'm behind on the IC. Realistically, it'll be tomorrow night before I get a chance to post. I'm super busy with work tomorrow and the babies sound like I'll be taking care of them the rest of the night.
So tomorrow night is the definite next post. Please get everything done up to the appointed time to minimize backposting.

Wyrm usually doesn't try to be discreet about her speech.. few people catch her lingo anyway.
She has a soft voice though, so it's normally hard to catch what she's saying if you're more than a few feet away.
Even so, Wyrm's cautious about what she's saying, as she doesn't know how much Slam's going to divulge. Being the new kid on the block, she doesn't want to create waves. She is concerned about Tag's mood though... she's a little more seasoned than he is when it comes to death, having been 10 when she witness her first death. She might even talk about it depending on how things go IC.

About the alcohol-antidote, how much does it cost and how good does it work? Iīd like it to cancel the mild allergy, to the point, where for the evaning TF is still a light drinker, but not instantly nauseous and drunk after one sip. A Antidote-Patch costs 50

That would be quite a bit of bookkeeping with very little actual effect.
The increasing cost does a good job at regulating that all by itself.
i.e. if we get an average of 3 karma per week, it takes ~2 weeks to raise an attribute from 1 to 2, then ~3 weeks to raise it to 3, then another ~4 weeks to 4, ~5 more weeks to 5, and ~6 more weeks to 6. That's quite a long time already, and in that time all Karma would be spent on raising that single attribute and nothing else.
For skills you would be a bit faster, of course, still raising a skill from 0 to 6 (total Karma cost 46) would require a total of 15 weeks with nothing else being improved in all that time.
I don't think it's necessary.

I'm assuming between you and I we've managed to heal up JJ (I seem to recall that its been posted that he's all better but 'showing off' the blood now) so I'm not going to bother rolling anything for that unless TinkerGnome asks for a roll.
Besides I'm not sure which of us did what to get JJ all better anyway
-
I do need to roll at least first aid for Felix though, not sure if anyone is going to be assisting so I'll roll unassisted for now and if anyone is planning to assist they can roll for the extra dice and post here with the differing result. Does that work, Tinker?
CODE |
Logic (5) + First Aid (3) + Conditions (-1) + Medkit (3) + Magical Patient (-2) + Home Ground (2) = 10 Results: 4 4 2 3 3 5 5 3 2 6 Hits: 3
|
So I've healed one box, right?
Which I'm pretty sure means I'm definitely rolling medicine for Felix too
Dra says BronzeWyrm will assist Nurse in this so including it in the roll:
CODE |
Logic (5) + Medicine (3) + Conditions (-1) + Magical Patient (-2) + Home Ground (2) + Assistance (BronzeWyrm) (1) = 8 Results: 5 2 1 6 4 3 1 3 Hits: 2
|
and now I'll roll resistance to Nurse's mild DeepWeed addiction to try and keep her from getting in on that joint being passed around just now.
CODE |
Logic (5) + Willpower (4) + Addiction (-2) = 7 dice Results: 3 4 3 6 3 2 5 Hits: 2

Apr 3 2006, 08:56 PM
Did Felix 'show' his wounds now? He said earlier, that he was going to hide them.
If he is willing to be healed and still needs healing after the First Aid, Raven will heal 1 box.
EDIT: Or not, since he has only Drain damage... LOL (forgot that for a moment.)
As for JJ, Raven will heal 2 boxes, so you would need 3 hits on First Aid (prior to the spell) and he will be fully healed.
(...and of course, I forgot Home Ground for my spells.
)

P.S. Doesn't Assistance give extra dice for the test? If so, it should best be rolled before. Or was it extra hits (2 for 1)?

Apr 3 2006, 09:00 PM
Well, I'm going to cook up a little post soon enough that should answer that. But, yes, Felix does do his best to hide the fact that he's hurt, and will insist that he is fine and does not need any healing.
He'll probably try to get a few minutes of privacy, and hide somewhere to tend to his wounds by himself...

Apr 3 2006, 09:05 PM
I assumed in my post that someone was going to do first aid on JJ. Since Raven had already posted OOC for 2 boxes of sweet relief, he only needed one from first aid, which I figured was easily doable by one of the many people around with medkits.
For simplicity, I just said it was Nurse.
If that needs to change I can always edit...but, I didn't think it was a big deal.

TF sent Nurse a message, so Nurse simply began diagnosis. I have to wait for Felix's IC reaction to know if he is going to try to stop her from administering healing to him though.
I think assistance is extra dice, so that is how I rolled on the medicine check where I knew Wyrm woud be assisting.
so now the first aid roll for JJ:
CODE |
Logic (5) + First Aid (3) + Conditions (-1) + Medkit (3) + Home Ground (2) = 12 Results: 3 6 6 6 5 1 5 1 5 3 5 4 Hits: 7
