Ruins of Khazan - A Rumbles RPG - Sign Up/System Test

Shoot, I should ask for Intimidate and Deception as well.

Heck, can you give me the equation for how these are calculated? I'll just do them all myself. ^_^

Not trying to second guess the answer, but I love the ‘parse two skills’ aspect to this (BRA+CHR), so I could easily see how Deception could be CHR+SKI, Intimidation could be CHR+STR, and you can just use the same concept for other skills.

Reminds me of the Star Trek RPG rules.

As you wish, the equations for the social matrices are as follows (rounded down to the nearest whole number):

Social Matrix
Notice: [BRA/5] + [SPD/10] + [Total Initial Mind Affinity Technique Slots]
Insight: [BRA/5] + [SKI/10] + [Total Initial Spirit Affinity Technique Slots]
Persuasion: [CHR/5] + [BRA/10] + [Total Initial Mind Affinity Technique Slots]
Deception: [SKI/5] + [CHR/10] + [Total Initial Mind Affinity Technique Slots]
Intimidation: [STR/5] + [CHR/10] + [Total Initial Body Affinity Technique Slots]
Stealth: [AGI/5] + [SKI/10] + [Total Initial Body Affinity Technique Slots]

There's also Computation, which I'm still not sure if it's in the game per say, but that's:

Computation: [BRA/5] + [PRE/10] + [Total Initial Mind Affinity Technique Slots] (+5 if BRA is 50+)

I will add my voice to this. There's a lot of thought here. Sure, it's a way off as you say, Nik, but it's a very, very solid start.

Very kind of you to say. It's been a lot of work but I have enjoyed doing it ^_^

Ooh, he's not far off. >_> Smart fellow.

Yeah, good call Beads.

The Star Trek game...I got into one of those on RPol recently, but it died just as I introduced my character and started RPing. Sadly.

...character was a former-assassin-hiding-in-starfleet-doing-penance-as-medic, which is weird for Star Trek but completely in line for one of my characters. ^_^

Thank you! That's going on the sheet.

Co-sign that the system wouldn't be so much fun to play in if it didn't have some real stuff in it.

Also hadn't really thought of how Stack could augment things until recently, but since Jane has some ENR recovery back now it does seem likelier she'll be able to make use of it more in several cases.

Alas, the tragedy of being a smoothbrain with this subsystem lol.

Although, sneaking aside, Kinu should be able to bluff fairly well if I have my numbers right. Gonna cut some wicked promos.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Eh. **** it. I'm just going to double-down, I guess.

Just to allow you check your figures. Kinu's Social Matrix:

Notice: 9
Insight: 10
Persuasion: 12
Deception: 13
Intimidation: 17
Stealth: 18
Computation: 9

If you give her a dedicated promo CHR Technique or BRA Technique, that would help. Also, if you write a sick promo for her then that will get a good modifier from the GM.

My PM for discussion remains open if you would like to do so. ^_^

Nik, if I want to add a status effect from Body to Perfection Does Not Exist, I need to use up a honed Body tech, right?

If I understand, that would mean I get half the stat bonus and one status effect.

Does the Energy cost change or does it just stay ‘honed tech’?

Body can have a status effect on a Mundane Tech, they get one per Technique level.

ENR cost wouldn't change. Dual Affinity Techs always cost whatever the highest slot applied to it is.

As I understand the rules, as this is a persistent technique, it must use honed techniques. Also, I believe under dual affinity techniques, it says that you don’t get any status effects from the secondary addition unless it is honed or higher. If I am incorrect, I am only too happy to only use a mundane technique and get the exact same results! ^_^

[Sharpandpointies]

The dual affinities thing as a game changer, and I believe I will be modify my techniques like crazy during **********g. As I level up.

Well, that’s an interesting choice of words to censor.
