So far so good. I should mention that starting wounds has been slightly redone, but in the good Corporal's case that turns out to be the same number.

Don't forget your skills and traits.

Next up for you Corp is your early life choose one of:
Scavenger
Scapegrace (living in the grey areas of legality with the ne'er do wells)
Stubjack (background of violence)

Those are the same for Void Borns in DH?

Yep. Only the money stuff has changed for nobles.

Scapegrace gives you
Sleight of Hand as trained basic skill
+3 to either Intelligence or Perception

Mutant
Deviant Philosophy

Criminal subcategories of

Demolition if that's cool.

OK, I'll take the hunting rifle, stimms, and a sword as the melee weapon.

I'll go with Basic (SP) as my special ability.

I've turned my original dice roll post into a CS.

Cpl Kendall · Post by **Cpl Kendall** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:00 pm

Hmm.

I'll grab Medicae, Secret Tongue (Rogue Trade), a BS upgrade and Strength. Should be the full 500.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:10 pm

Okay corp. Now you can have any amount of gear of common availability. You can also have one piece of gear of very rare availability.

Rule of Three: Unless otherwise stated, players are assumed to be carrying three of expendable as their standard load out (and a boxes of the stuff back on the ship). So if you're carrying a lasgun and frag grenades, unless you specify otherwise that's one power pack in the lasgun and two extra and three frag grenades. Capice?

My kingdom for a drool smiley.

Wait, just gear not weapons right?

Understood.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:14 pm

Gear includes weapons and armour.

Cpl Kendall · Post by **Cpl Kendall** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:26 pm

Right then, I'll just grab an autopistol, frags, smoke, shipboard emerg kit and a preysense sight if you've no objection.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:27 pm

None at all. Just a reminder, you're proficient with basic and pistol versions of bolt, plasma, and melta weapons as well as lasers and sp.

Cpl Kendall · Post by **Cpl Kendall** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:36 pm

Now I'm really tempted to get an inferno pistol. Decisions, decisions.

Edit: Frak it, I'll take the Inferno Pistol as my very rare and ditch the autopistol and sight.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:41 pm

RT introduces new stats for Plasma and Melta weapons to make their performance more in line with that of the background material. Totally compateable with DH because these are new patterns. The relevant bit for you is

10 meter range, single shot, 3 ammo, 2d10+8 damage, Penetration 13

Cpl Kendall · Post by **Cpl Kendall** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:44 pm

Got it.

Cpl Kendall · Post by **Cpl Kendall** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:46 pm

I'll do up a physical description tonight.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 8:04 pm

Hrm. The rules for the Criminal background are fairly vague as to what is and is not an acceptable implant. Some obviously don't make a whole lot of sense for the background, so what would you consider unworkable ones? Still mulling concept a bit.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 12:11 am

Most are workable. Criminals can act as testers of new or variant designs.
