Didsva Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 So I'm designing a character that could be used as a get away driver. So I did give her combat piloting which says that you can have one free familiarity of any vehicles that moves in three dimensions. But when I'm putting in her TF skills in HD it doesn't take that into account so how should I address this to keep track on how many points I have spend on character skills?

Simon Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 HD is tracking that just fine and discounting 1 point TF for any flying vehicle type...even gives the benefit of the doubt for the various mecha. Didsva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didsva Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Does mecha counts as combat piloting? Cause it didn't say that in the HSS manual which is supposed to cover all skills in details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Again, giving the benefit of the doubt that if a character purchases Combat Piloting and then selects a singular TF for one of the mecha, then that mecha will be able to fly (otherwise, that Combat Piloting isn't going to do them much good).

Didsva Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 But what if that mecha isn't supposed to fly? Cause I don't think that would fit the setting of the campaign that I'm writing this for. Thou I guess my GM have the final say in that matter🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didsva Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have picked other air vehicles familiarity for that character so I'm probably fine anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Why in the name of all that's holy are you even worrying about that? Seriously. Pause. Think about it. Don't just go and post. If you purchase Combat Piloting and then purchase TF: Anthropomorphic Mecha, that TF will cost you 0 points. Why? Because it is presumed that you have a brain in your head. If you purchase Combat Piloting and then purchase TF: Anthropomorphic Mecha, Small Planes, that TF will cost you 1 point. It's entirely up to you which of those categories is free and which is 1 point...and it makes exactly zero difference in the display, the math, or any other aspect of character creation or use.

Didsva Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Sorry I didn't know that mechs did count for combat piloting if I had know that I wouldn't have made a post. I hope that you can forgive me for not having the knowledge about all the details that isn't in the manuals yet Tjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 You don't need that knowledge, you just need basic common sense (as outlined above). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Let's try a different approach: You purchase Combat Piloting and TF: Anthropomorphic Mecha. Your character is pretty danged good at piloting anthropomorphic mecha that can fly in combat situations. Congratulations. During the campaign, your character comes across an anthropomorphic mecha that is unable to fly. Guess what? Your Combat Piloting won't come into play. Similarly, your Combat Piloting and TF: Small Planes won't help you when you get into a cessna with the wings cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didsva Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Ok then I understand what you mean👍, I was just confused cause I seems to have gotten wrong information before which affected my judgement of the situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
