    Regrettably nothing from Rogue-Trader-40K this week.

     

    I had some good banter with the ship's (illegal) A.I., but it would be boring here.

     

    it seems all the other players were there to just rules-lawyer.

     

    GM vividly describes a huge space battle, with an echelon of ships assaulting us.

    Player: You moved the shuttles at the wrong time. Initiative doesn't work like that.

     

    sigh.

     

    plus this other player got a "dice-rolling-app" for his I-Pod, and strangely enough,

    did not fail a single skill check all night. Hmm...

     

     

    very bad week.

    DEATH WATCH 4OK SPACE MARINES

    adventures of Squad Ventura

    this week, a Rescue Mission:

    find a Tech-Magos from Downed Shuttle, Deep in Tyranid Country.

    Pre-mission briefing:

    Marine: sir, we're fighting Nids this mission, what are we forgetting?

    Captain: FIRE, dumb*ss!! where's your Flamethrower?!

    squad got bum-rushed by Nids, while the devastator had "metal storm" loaded in the bolter :

    new rule: don't use AoE ammo in H-t-H.

    Techmarine picks up an alien with his heavy claw...

    Psyker: Did you spay or neuter that Tyranid?

    new addition to the Marine survival handbook:

    if you are currently on fire, grab a tyranid that is not.

    one way to garner glory for the unit is to take trophies:

    we cut off the Tyranid Lictor's nuts, bronzed them,

    and hung them on the back of the Land Raider

    (yes, like those silly Nascar novelties)

    Re: Self Resurrection

     

    okay, lets try a different tack: :confused:

     

     

    I am a player in your game. My PC will be a robotic , an artifical life-form who has a backup body, and with triggered activation upon verification of the main form's demise. Limitation: if enemies infiltrate my base, disperse the equipment, or other circumstances can fail and he doesn't return to life.Plus it takes a week or so to get going again.

     

    how would you as GM guide me to write up this power ? (6E wording, please)

     

    Thanks.

    7 - Regeneration (1 BODY per 6 hours), Resurrection; Resurrection Only (-2),

    would cost 8 points and avoid a lot of the drawbacks.

     

    yeah, but the ability needs to be pretty much guaranteed to work.

     

    doesnt Regen as written require conscious thought from the user ?

    simply use the power actually written up to restore a dead character' date=' [/quote']

    well this is what I'm asking, how would you guys write it up. specifically.

     

     

    this is my pathetic attempt

     

    Rebuild Self: Regeneration (5 BODY per Week), Resurrection, Delayed Effect (+1/4), Trigger (Activating the Trigger requires a Zero Phase Action, Trigger requires a Turn or more to reset: sensors at base detect death; +1/4), Uncontrolled (+1/2) (60 Active Points); No Conscious Control (-2), Resurrection Only (-2), Conditional Power Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (not if busted lab or factory; -1/4), 1 Recoverable Continuing Charge lasting 1 Season (-0) (11ap)

    what's wrong with it...

    what's a decent build for 6E to come back to life?

     

    I'm thinking the old summon self version, but whats a 6E way to do it?

     

    here's the SFX in mind

     

    Version A: :angel: newly released spirit of a dead person reforms a body to take care of unfinished business. only works once per life. Limit: if you die at peace, with no loose strings, you go on to heaven or wherever and actually pass on.

     

    ========

     

    Version B: :dyn the classic Ultron, Terminator, or Mechanon: an artifical life-form has a backup body, with triggered activation upon verification of the main form's demise. Limitation: if enemies infiltrate your base or disperse your flunkies, your equipment can fail and you don't return to life.

     

     

    oh, and it takes a week or so to get going again.

    In our Rogue Trader 4OK game, we almost always wear armor or space suits,

    and we have the tech for helmet cameras, so we can review footage, or show superiors

    what we found out in the field, etc.

     

    Also we have an extensive inter-network for our crew, and full modern communication for the whole starship,

    with "blackberries", tablets, etc.

     

    So, we are showing a visiting tech-priest the video from when a Necron Monolith

    hacked (via radio) into my tech-marine's servo-arm and made it attack me:

     

    Tech-Marine: see here how my arm's operating lights turn noxious green, same as their gun color.

     

    Tech-Priest: they turned your own tools against you!

     

    Guardsman: yeah, the clip where it drills into his head got over 9000 hits on CrewTube
