M01E02 - OOC - The gospel of St. Sebastian

Aint it the truth! I pity the guy who is sent in to clean up that room, and opens that wardrobe. He is in for a world of pain and terror...

just a quick check, I'm thinking of talkin go the head arbitrator showing my Arbite ID,
saying that my goal here is to hunt down a perticular perpetrator that has ran away from his protectorate. would that be a sensable cover story?

Wow Titus is just lost in the sauce today. A 100 roll, and now a 98.

I seem to be a "high roller"...now if only that was a good thing in this game.

Well, the psyker rules are slightly different. You'll see that when your resident psyker arrives.

That's right.

Anyways, the numbers are supposed to be random. I do not know how the plugin works, I haven't looked at the code, but it gives enough variety to assume it's random. The thing I don't know is why Nathan usually gets the higher rolls. It also can be because you've rolled the most for now, so you get more high numbers (you get low numbers, too).

The problem with randomness is when do you get the bad rolls. A botch in an insustantial roll trying to do a non-vital task makes you feel that you're unlucky, but you get over it quickly. Botching the dodge roll when a Chaos Marine is going to butcher you with a chain-axe is a much harder hit, and you might die from it.

If you have a 50% in dodge, half of the time you'll be dodging, and half the time you won't, under normal circumstances. Of course, it's not the same when you're hit in the face by a cream pie in a bar fight, or when a bolter round does it in an altercation on a dark passage.

ohhhh Leitbec got shutdown...... party is not going well so far....

there's really nothing i can possibility charm with a roll of 9X.

I'd play this as the girl got offended and storms off. Leitbec pride in ruins XD

Glad to see I'm not the only one face-planting.

Hmmmm...seems okay...but I'm still understandably suspicious about this "randomized" dice roller.

Seems okay when posted as an alter as well...I know some plugins were having trouble with that earlier.

Ah well, it was worth a shot. With even optimized hit percentages at below 40, this is one hell of a luck based system.

Well, the all-out attack gives you +20% to the WS roll. Most percentile systems have the problem that the characters are poor at first, then they get decent or even good. Then you have the ones where the characters begin up to 80-90%, and when they advance they get over the 100%.

Finally you have the systems in which the character begins with good chances but doesn't advance, or the advancement is almost irrelevant.

Here, you can get up to +20 in a skill, and take the attribute advancements, plus some of the talents might help too. You can end up with a +30/+40 when you top the careers offered in Dark Heresy. Then we go to the Ascension book, and things get quite awesome.

Now think of yourselves as imperial stormtroopers. Remember, in Warhammer 40K, Imperial guard fails 50% of the time, except for the flamer guys, that use the flamer template (and that's why my catachan army had flamers in every effing vehicle, and I carried as many template weapons as I could... flamers, mortars, missiles...)

Well, I guess I'm here mostly for moral support anyway. Up to you ranged weapon folks I guess. It's hard to beat that +30 for firing point blank. Go get em!

yay for not being able to roll XD
percentile system is a pain in this perspective. It might be prudent to not try to roll at the beginning
