Svartalf Posted April 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hello, since we're going to play in Aliens Unlimited... I've a question to which I never managed to find an answer... we all know how kisentite improves ancient, hand to hand weapons.... but if there is something about that anywhere, I don't know if you can actually have a bullet gun firing kisentite pronectiles... it would of course have to be from higher tech than is available on earth.

Draidden Posted April 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 14, 2023 @Death_Knight would it be okay to roll for stats in the same post we applied in or do you want us to wait for that? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svartalf Posted April 15, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 15, 2023 Actually, I think it would be better to have one post for your character its stats etc, and the next for the rolls... easier to read in the same spirit, I'd like to know just how much rolling you demand... of course the stats will be rolled, but do we haver to roll or can we just choose for education & skills, specifics of the race and its powers that are given with a rolling range... basically, I'd be tempted to minimize the amount of things to roll for, because if I want to play a rogue or spy/military specialist, I'd be disappointed to roll an education level that did not work with it...

Under Special Ammunition in AU, under Armor Piercing Ammunition: Armor piercing rounds are constructed of teflon, Kisenite or some other materials that are strong enough to penetrate hard substances easily. Adds 1d6 to the damage capacity of the average round and is +2 to penetrate armor (this means an A.R. of 15 is an A.R. of 13 in regard to this bullet); usually reserved for larger calibers. Bullets made of Kisenite are considered AP rounds and are +3 to penetrate armor. Half the bullet's damage is expended on the armor and half strikes the person inside the armor. Strangely, the price is ommitted (by mistake, I assume) from both the old version of AU I own and the newer Revised edition. Pricing would be somewhere between the ready-made price for AP Shotgun shells from the Weapons Hardware class, which have the lower AP effect and are $80 per 10, and the Kisenite Arrows, which are $2000 per 12. They will wind up not cheap, to be sure. 22 hours ago, Svartalf said: Actually, I think it would be better to have one post for your character its stats etc, and the next for the rolls... easier to read in the same spirit, I'd like to know just how much rolling you demand... of course the stats will be rolled, but do we haver to roll or can we just choose for education & skills, specifics of the race and its powers that are given with a rolling range... basically, I'd be tempted to minimize the amount of things to roll for, because if I want to play a rogue or spy/military specialist, I'd be disappointed to roll an education level that did not work with it... I would hope that the Alien Education, Skills, and Knowledge rules from AU: Galaxy Guide (pg 190) would be used instead of the HU2 rules for Alien skills, as those newer rules were developed specifically with a Space-centric game in mind. If so, there isn't a table (you just pick your Skill Package), so that part of the character, at least, shouldn't be random. In a normal HU2 game those rules wouldn't be balanced (part of the trade-off for the extra Alien powers and gear is the more restricted Skill choices), but in a game where everyone is an Alien, I think they are a much better fit.

Draidden Posted April 17, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 17, 2023 Is this game going to even happen. the GM posted the application stuff a week ago and has not been on since or answered any questions. I hope all is well and this is going to happen, but from past experiences, this is not looking good.

Svartalf Posted April 18, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'm seriously wondering, I'm messaged him so as to know more about campaign tone and whatnot, so my character can fit better, rather than just launching the thing I would most like to play, and be disappointed because I'm not accepted, or find out it does not fit well... no answer yet, and it's been several days.
