If it is, Good Qual Flak definitely fixes the issue, and AV5 is a cherry? I kind of like the idea of the better armour, the weight might be less of an issue, but an armour point is still one damage less. 18 minutes ago, Lysimachus said: I think, even if we don't go with the armour upgrade, I might stick with just grapnel or drop harness. I'd maybe spend the extra 10 on either photo-contacts or respirators? (either of which is 8, find something else for the last 2?) I'd assume that if we are deployed somewhere were either of those are essential (as opposed to just convenient) we can try to make the relevant logistic test for that mission, and that respirators or photovisors are easier to obtain that way then say the better armour.

Machine God Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago 'The Ffolk - The Ogryn Clans of Mirador employ a good degree of weapon craft that they have applied to their Ripper Guns.

Mazer Rackham Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Don't see a problem? In all sincerity, neither your flak armour or your boots are Ogryn proof, but you still get them. I doubt a grapnel could actually hold an Ogryn anyway. Even if they aren't you should have sufficient strength to keep your grip. My Autocorrect wants to say OB-GYN instead of Ogryn. It's...been a long day.

It's less of a call for inspiration and more of making sure I don't step on toes as far as others' characters go. Don't need two wise-cracking geezers, for example. 29 minutes ago, Trokair said: If you need to rest up then do that, from what our GM laid out there is still good time to get things sorted. I'm literally just sitting around anyways, only reason I was delaying was because it is more convenient to me to use my work pc than my tablet, but since I'm doing nothing at all I don't mind the page-turning. I have a feeling that Doc will not be super young. Even if he's just an IG medic they seem older than the normal soldier.

I guess it's logical, you all do your best to keep your medic alive so they can keep you alive! Could be funny to switch it up, though? Have a fresh faced kid straight out of med school in Mirador's capital, called up to serve in the most recent recruitment drive, replacing the old doc we all liked, etc, etc? Does that mean we are decided on squad roles now? Did @A.T. pick a Specialty yet?
