Lysimachus Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 I wish it to be known that the views expressed in the IC thread by my characters may not reflect my actual views...Don't sweat it, mate. I think we've all twigged that Vesalius has issues, but none of us think you do! :D Not an easy thing to write bad guys and make them believable, imho you're doing a great job of it! Edit: and nice post MG (cracking choice of TH name too!). I'll leave it a bit so everyone can post if they want, then we'll see what happens next!

Trokair Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I wish it to be known that the views expressed in the IC thread by my characters may not reflect my actual views, and that I genuinely like Brynjarr as a character. Vesalius is a homicidal maniac who happens to take up some space in my brain and use excess bandwidth from time to time. Sorry if my writing came across as particularly harsh or especially negative as directed towards Trokair/Brynjarr, I'm trying to work through some things with this character and it just made sense narratively to me. No worries Brynjarr might not like the recent turn of events but I know it is all just part of the story and the characterisation. Also I can totally see why Vesalius might be annoyed with the breacher before the slaughter, as his coming to aid with the Bullgryn could be seen as a kill steal. To borrow from the great minds of Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett, Brynjarr has ‘sauntered vaguely downwards’ since his death, while some of the others certainly tripped and fell into their current life from what I can see. As Lys says, bad guys can be hard to write, so don't dwell on it.

A minor quibble though that I've noticed on a couple of players posts - they are Ratings not Ratlings.

Necronaut Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Yes, I, in my utter ignorance, thought that was a typo on our GM's part. It turns out I was the one in error (and I learned something today). I have edited my post, and previous posts removing all mention of space hobbits. I swear there is nothing (well not much) wrong with me, and I don't have it out for little people! Vesalius, on the other hand...

Trokair Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If Brynjarr were to atempt some form of check to see if he can identify the eldar/their colour/herladry or som such what would i need to roll against?

Necronaut Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 That would most likely be a Forbidden Lore (Xenos) test, which is versus your character's Intelligence.

Mazer Rackham Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Necro is on point. Although I think we had that replaced by Forbidden Lore: (Underworld), no? It would have to be a character background based test if so, still Intelligence Test though.

Trokair Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I do have Forbiden Lore (Xenos) on Brynjars sheet, though that might be an oversight from when it was ported to this game if Mazer is correct. I'll start workign on a post, heres the roll, Lys let me know if that gets me anything, and i can try and work that into my post.

Necronaut Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Yes, we had the (Underworld) substitution at character creation. We could probably request access to that specific sub-skill from our GM (in the form of future advancement, although we're predominantly a counter-Imperium "Deathwatch" sort of force), but your character might also have access to it from his background as Mazer identified.

Lysimachus Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I suppose it might make sense for certain members of the team whose background features more void travel and fighting aliens to have retained the Xenos Lore Skill rather than the Underworld Lore...? I've replied for Achard to Draak's questions, maybe Brynjarr wants to assist the officer (maybe the comms or augur operator as they'd have regular access to the ship's logs?) to try and find out a bit more?

Necronaut Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 @Lysimachus -- your call, mate. It is but one skill worth ~400XP at +0 (Trained) so it wouldn't be like we were breaking the bank, as it were.
