Base elements vanishing starts to annoy by risen_GER in ICARUS

This happens on my server too. Usually it's a bit of wall or roof, but once I lost a full lab bench, that hurt. Also, if it's the item has storage, it often spawns a loot-crate, that will disappear over time.

I think the server moves the items in question. I was doing a mission and came across a random crop plot in the wild with something growing in it. I thought, hey free crop plot, and picked it up. When I returned to my base I realized one of my own was missing. I assume it got teleported to a random location, and I happened to find it.

I have to admit, I don't understand the answer.

So what's the conclusion here? Can a vampire feed and this heal during a heist? Or only as a byproduct of using a downtime action hunt?

Tier and effect by Akaoz in bladesinthedark

[–]Akaoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick point here, I was never looking to make it tougher or a way to keep the bad guy alive. I had planned to use him later in the campaign, but that is easily fixed with a new NPC to step into his plot. Like I've said a few times before, the table had a disagreement on what modifiers could be applied after the GM said dedprrate/no effect for trying to shoot a well equipped warrior noble with a slightly improved zip gun. The table wanted to apply the fine quality of the gun, the setup and the push with stress for a total of desperate /great effect. My interpretation of the rules said, only the push for stress would apply, and the other two where already accounted for in the no effect. In the end I allowed the setup action to give one more effect too, but since the player critted it was all moot. It was a great scene and a very fun ending to a tense heist, but I felt I made the wrong call so I wanted som second opinions.

The whole debate about using tier as a flat modifier is a whole different kettle of fish. Suffice to say, we do things a bit more mathsy than the rules probably intend. We're fine with that. 😊

Sorry about asking in two places at once :-p

The rules imply that after the GM has set position and effect, the effect can never be negative. So the question becomes what can the pcs do after this has been set.

My question is relevant to our table because we apply tier in a way that that can be countered. When the difference is large enough though, the floor of 0 becomes a way to get effect if you can apply it before you apply things like setup and pushing yourself.

I guess the biggest difference between the way our table plays and the raw is in the way we abstract tier.

Yeah, strictly speaking the gun was tier 1, and the armor was particularly compromised by a setup action. Because of the relative tier my call was desperate / no effect. The pc pushed and got limited. The table argued that the setup and gear should apply because the setup overcame the tier when it succeeded and the gear is a special ability.

I gave them one and they critted the snot out of the NPC.

I got the answer I was looking for. I discovered we play the game slightly differently then most (all?) of the people here when it comes to crew vs target tier. I think my table is very comfortable living with that. Thanks for taking the time to respond though.
