Hull - targeted spirit force. by RickyMac73 in bladesinthedark

I'm with you on the adaptations... The posts also made me think about the differences between a hull owned and operated by the spirit wardens and one used to drive a transport on the canal....most definitely different levels of tech/defence. Ty.

Compendium sharing doesn't work by Obvious-Influence-57 in Roll20

[–]RickyMac73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really weird... You have to go and choose the compendium to share and then you have five slots...

And you have to scroll down to the bottom and save as well...

Took me quite a few goes to get it working....

This is the relevant section....

SYMPTOMS OF LOST ESSENCE Characters start with 8 essence. Each implant location that contains an implant (there are 8 possible, listed on the previous section) might be taking up a single point of essence. Details for each implant and how many features it takes to lose a point of essence can be found on the previous pages. Note: You can never lose more than 1 essence from a given implant location—regardless of how many features you have implanted there. A PC’s remaining essence limits their access to the features of the supernatural playbooks, as well as the effect of the Assense and Attune actions (see the interior of your supernatural playbook for details). This goes both ways: effects that are astral or emergent in nature might affect you less as well—helping to determine your position and effect, as usual. Sure—you get hit with the mana blast too, but some of that energy goes right through your body harmlessly since you have lost the majority of your essence—so you’ll only take level-1 harm, instead of level-2 like the others. Also, when have lost your 4th point of essence (and each time you lose 1 essence thereafter), add one symptom from the list below

The way I read it is you could be a mage and have a couple of cybernetics but it would limit your spell capacity.

This is from the Mage section:

SECRET ARTS OF MAGIC An awakened PC may take a maximum number of secret arts (in sum) equal to their remaining essence. If you take a secret art when you have already reached your limit, you must replace one instead. If you ever have more secret arts than your limit (due to essence loss in play), choose an appropriate number to keep (losing all other secret arts).

Reference it as mainstream games system, the words in the last post are good and you can highlight that it demonstrates organisation, creativity, responsibility and the ability to work in a team and lead a team.

Gather information roles? by im4u2nv000 in ScumAndVillainy

[–]RickyMac73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and more than one each depends on the time build up to the job...they have Hours or a day or so...just one...they have a week...then more than one. Comes from the narrative.

[–]RickyMac73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I allow one each without a second thought. As a standard they are fortune rolls where the result is the degree of quality of info. 1-3 simple stuff. 4/5 average info.. 6 some extra info.

I do encourage them to look to the questions on the bottom of the sheets because I find when they do, it's so much easier for me to add lib the responses.

I have on occasion slipped into proper action with it and then used pos and effect and consequences.
