Finishing Elaborating the "Allied NPC Retainer" sheets. . . Will be a sort of "Compressed Bestiary" Stats with relevant skills, important gear and "Main Attacks". . . Optimized for Printable Version as, when I will Gamemaster, I prefer to have "Paper Folios" on hand for the Players Stats, rather than rummaging through ENDLESS Pdf Pages. . . . .!!! Will also do a "Vehicle Stat" Sheet for the Vehicles of the Group (Army VTOL, Luzige APC, Offroad Buggies). . .!!
Almost like if someone already stated out some of those (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). I have the Luzige and some PanO VTOLs to use. Or the Efreet from the Merc book if you're looking for something non-PanO. The Rackham (or Narcham) Buggy from the Merc book is a perfect military buggy.
Thanks @Solodice . . . The VTOL is an "Hybrid Project"; essentially is a Haqqislamite "Desert Special Forces" Aeromobile, designed to hold ONE "Luzige" with contingent of Halqas in the cargo-belly and quickly disgorge it on a Battlefield (or even "Strafe-Run", NOT stopping or landing, essentially "Dropping" a Luzige in mid-flight, 5-10 meters maximum from a suitable surface, such as Reinforced Concrete Bridges of Speedways of the MAIN Roads of Planet Dawn); sold at "Subpar Premium Vintage Surplus" by the Haqqislamite Branch of the Minotaur Mercs. . . The Frame is reinforced with Teseum-Nessium "High % Alloys" struts and Armour Plating (courtesy of the Ariadnan Branch of the Merc Brigade). . . The Piloting is a "L.A.I.-Assisted Hitech" Man-Machine-Interface-Plug that requires ONLY a Nomad Pilot (@inane.imp Character, that He had to drop out for too much RW issues; a Praxis-Born Morlock Hacker & Drone Commander) and His "Antipode-Killer Drones" (essentially "Robotic Gorilla Apes"); stuff done by the Corregidoran and Bakunites Mercs in the Minotaurs. . . The MAIN and HYPERSPECIAL stuff of the VTOL is "Tohaa-Made Biotech Smartmaterial Reactors" for the VTOL Engines; there are PRECIOUS FEW "Anti-Trident Loyalists" inside the Minotaurs; they COULD NOT finagle "Advanced Tohaa Living Dropships" and so had to adapt "Tohaa Lifebarge Technologies" to Human Vehicular Ingenuity. . . Like the AWESOME "Springbok Dropship" of Elysium by Neil Blomkampf is a "Surface Attack Vehicle" that, should the need arise, could reach Far Orbit of Planet Dawn. . . . . . . . Hyperpower-Sponsored "Teseum Smugglers" laughed when, at Terminal Velocity for Atmosphere Exit, left behind some "Interceptor Jets" by the Ariadnan Airforces. . . . . .UNTIL NOW!!! . . . . . Main "Mission Statement" of the Minotaur Mercenary Brigade by the Ariadnan Federal Government is "Ad Astra Pugnax". . . . . "Bring The Fight To The Stars"!!!!!
@Nuada Airgetlam Your signature states that you are a high-functioning Aspie which I'm guessing means Aspergers correct? I was diagnosed with Aspergers, OCD, ADHD/ADD over 5-6 years ago by a medical doctor in the autistic field. I was surprised at the diagnoses as the thought of me having any form of autism never occurred to me or my parents. We found out that my dad also had the systems for decades without ever knowing about it. We were both so high functioning that no body, including ourselves, even considered that we were possibly autistic.
Yeah, ADD (not much of the physically hyperactive component) and Asperger's. In my case I've actually self-diagnosed first then got a professional diagnosis that basically confirmed what I gathered from self-evaluation and doing test forms on my own. We can take this to PMs if you want, this doesn't seem like the place.
If you want to then agreed. I found it interesting since you were the first person I met with Aspergers after I got diagnosed.
@Golem2God . . . I think We nailed ALL the "Game Rules Infos" about Your Character, and the Conceptual Art I daresay presume We agreed on ALL Basic Principals. . . @Ashen_Seeker ; @Nuada Airgetlam Finished the stats for Your "Henchmen Retainers"; along with the Drones of @inane.imp "Character On Hold" (remember He will act as NPC Vtol Pilot / Comm Relay / Hacking Support. . .!!). . . . . Do You prefere these to be on "Full PC Sheet" as to better use them as "Temporary PC" (such as taking DIRECT control if the Odalisque is busy seducing a Enemy Target for infos, while "Dashing Desert Prince" dazzle away the Spouse of said Enemy; or the "Reex Escort" is silently scanning the Ventilation Ducts of the Smuggler Supsected hideout to check for good entrance point for the Rest of the Team). . . Or will be best to KEEP them as "Quick Reference Sheet" with JUST "Generic Stats" like the Adversaries Section in the Manual (JUST basic skillset and Main "Attack Modes") along with 2-3 "Talents" related to their Classes-Careers-Genome-Race. . . . .??? . . . . . Keep in mind that I will ANYWAY do the "Quicksheet" to have printed at hand should You need a "GM driven Roll" when away from Manuals AND Your Sheets (such as You are busy at Work / Household / Somewhere else and JUST could typa away 2-3 Lines of Rolpeplay Text as quick answer to keep the Game rolling. . .!!). . . . . So we could have FIRST the "Quicksheet" and THEN the "Full PC Styled Main Pages" (JUST 1-2 with Relevant Stats, Abilities, Gear). . . . . . . . Let Me know what You like more. . . . . .
I think a quick sheet for more one-dimensional stuff like a Surda or the Reex and a proper sheet for something like the Kumotail scientist?
@Nuada Airgetlam . . . Yes, sorry. . . Was intending "Complex Sheets" for Retainer-Characters that SPEAKS and have a MODICUM of "Self-Aware Sentience"; Your Reex and the Chaksa "Baggage Porter" are basically "Smart Organic Drones", while Your "Mega-Surda" is ESSENTIALLY a Trained Rhinoceros (able to comprehend, either by Radio-Collar or Pheromone, BASIC orders like "Stay!", "Guard!", "Move!", "Follow!", "Stop!", "Attack!" and, especially His favourite, "Surda? SMASH!!!"). . . The Kumotail is a PERSON (like the Odalisque "Personal Secretary" / Hashashin Sniper "House Maid" / "Drunken Biker" Naffatun Babe), loyal to boot (in fact, if YOU are "Tohaa-Batman" then He is "Tohaa-Alfred The Butler of Wayne Mansion"; MORE APTLY if You are "Tohaa Knight Templar" then He is "Squire-Physician to the Knight" !!!). . .
Yup, exactly what I meant. Quick sheets for "drones", full sheets for sentient personnel. Another idea - maybe if it's supposed to be an armed guardian, a Kaauri instead of a Reex? Same silhouette and general idea, but more of a "biometric scanner / MSV detector of intruders", etc?
You like more a Kaauri, and a Kaauri it is. . . Just I have to DEGRADE a little the "Monkey Agility" and INCREASE the "Awareness / Sensors". . . Combirifle with Light Flamer still good. . .?? The Kumotail is a "Grenade Specialist" with a Drum-Riot Grenade Launcher (Nomad Adhesive Lancher well-modified !!); do You like this "Gear Conformation". . .
Sounds cool, but maybe a Nanopulser instead of a flamer, for all the Tohaa biotech nastiness? :P One of the in-game Kaauri profiles has a Nullifier, maybe that? For immediate "oh fuck, we're getting hacked" defensive reaction. Sounds good, especially if he makes "specialty grenades for it" and it's just a delivery platform. You know, nanobot attack swarm grenade here, acid turned up to "11" there, defoliant grenade here to rid those guys of cover... You get my drift, he's a Biotech Doctor / Engineer, so he's capable of way more than just a simplistic "boom, boom, high explosive grenade launcher".
Nanopulser are Iffy as rules goes, more of a "Oneshot Desperate Move Sleeve-Trick" (Munition 1, if I'm not mistaken). . . Tohaa-Patented Biogenetic "Xenomorph Molecular Acidic Blood" in the Flamer Tank though (add some Level of Viral+ and/or Vicious+ and/or Unforgiving+ to the "Basic Stats" of a Combiflamer tough, stay in the "Basic Reloads" Mechanic). . . . . . . . OBVIOUSLY "Nanoswarm Viral-Cloud" Gas-Grenades are the LEAST trick on a Kumotail "Bag of Nasties". . . . . And could ALSO share with Your Character to fire with the "Munition:1" Grenade Launcher Tube underslung Your Combiboarding Shotgun. . . .
@Nuada Airgetlam Kaauri are defensive pieces on the tabletop preventing & protecting their masters from "surprises". They carry both Biometric Visors (L2 in game) & Multispectorial Visors (L1 in game) & have Sixth Sense (L2 in game) to help accomplish this. They come with an electric pulse instead of a nanopulser except the Sub-Machine-Gun loadout has 2 nanopulsers. Two of their loadouts come with Nullifiers & one with an E/Mauler. So it makes sense for your Kaauri to carry those anti-hacker sub-weapons on their person along with a main weapon of choice.
Remember that "Wargame Pieces" RARELY (if ever) translated directly from the Tabletop as "Exact Stats". . .!! What I proposed is the MOST faithful rendition that I can reach with Available Stats and Gear. . . . .!!!
I have always thought that "Wargame Minis" are MONO Archetype Template kind of RPG characters. . . The fact that the LEAST Experienced Player Character (or PC-Rules generated "Important NPC" such as Nemeses are) have AT LEAST two different Career, make the "Tabletop-Roleplaying" converison a bit iffy. . .!! Anyway, as soon as RW Issues STOP harassing-my-harassed-ass (so I'm "HASSARASSED" ?!?!? ) would type down the (at the moment STILL "Square-Paper-Sketches" !!) Sheets for the "Entourage". . . FULL 1° page of the PC kind for the "Retainers" that You could speak to (well "Dashing Desert Prince" could speak with His Pet "Sakt-In-Armour" and "Tohaa Master Chief" with the Uplifted, but they wil not receive overmuch "Aswers" more than animalistic roars and grunts; well the Chaksa Porter is the "Silent Staring" kind, while the Kauuri GIGGLES MANIACALLY all the time !!). . . For the other "Uplifted" JUST a "Squad Roster Sheet" with the RELEVANT Stats, Gear and "Dice Pools". . . . .!!!
@Golem2God ; @Ashen_Seeker ; @Nuada Airgetlam . . . Unfortunately some RW issues about Tax Revenues and other Money Problems have cropped up now, following some unclear procedure by Persons that SHOULD have cared better for My Incomes and RSU. . . NOTHING serious, but I fear to have to pospone a little the Start of the Campaign (from 5 to 10 days at the ideal target). . . Will let You kept appraised. . . . .!!!
