CthulhuTECH: EVA and HPL s'mored in awesomesauce

[ShadowFox89]

Oooo.... Yes for sure.  Eldritch society sounds amazing!


As for us Mech Pilots, remember that your Pilot skill level determine show many vehicles you can actually pilot.  If you're a Student, you can only choose one vehicle class.  At Master you can alternate between 5.  Just remember that, and you'll be fine

Ooooo, almost forgot about that. A-pod, aircraft, and engels for Ethnia ^^

[ReijiTabibito]

Don't mean to Nitpick, Aoi, but Pilot determines how many vehicle classes you can drive.  Not individual vehicles.  You can have Pilot 1 and take Mecha/Engel Flight as the class...although all Pilots of any kind should have at least Pilot 2, IMO.

Man, so many posts! I've been busy, so I haven't even gotten a chance to properly read through Ctech again, but I can do that tonight. Your Cherub is still here! :O

. . . TOTSUGEKI LOVE HEART! *Guitar riff*

Edit: Can I get a repost of any important details that may have gotten lost in the thread/templates for sheets/etc? I don't want to overlook anything

[Aoife]

Reiji, my post directly says vehicle classes

I swear I'm not (mostly) retarded.  Even if I can't properly round numbers

[Muse]

Ben, do I need Fighting or Armed Fighting to fight in Kakarembo? (An Eclipse.) 

Reiji, I'm trying to come up with a new story since the E version of that story is still available to the players who may yet return. 

[ChaoticSky]

good question, reiji. hrm...

Im probably convoluting this, for mecha using blades is Armed Fighting. I know the whole OSES makes mecha an extension of the human being, but its still a machine.

For engels, using their natural abilities and weapons like claws, mandibles and stingers is just Fighting.

At a guess, from that, Armed

[NotoriusBEN]

yea, think of those claws like war40k lightning claws. acid drip is a little odd, but all in all, its a mech, so armed fighting

[Muse]

Other question:

Marksman, Support Weapons, or both?

[ShadowFox89]

 Both I would suggest. Skills are so spread out in the system.

[ChaoticSky]

Marksman is for guns, support is for rockets/missiles/bombs/that sorta thing, as a mech pilot you probably want both incase you need them, but with a slant towards marksman, since youll probably use that more often in your preferred mecha. My opinion anyway.

Repeating, for my sanity's sake-

Can I get a repost of any important details that may have gotten lost in the thread/templates for sheets/etc? I don't want to overlook anything

[ShadowFox89]

 Everything should be in the first post.

We have a Cherub, Chasmal, and Hamshell (Bob) for Engels, and I believe a mecha pilot who has a fast/scout mecha and a Khopesh. So any kind of mecha/engel would be welcome at this point, maybe a second heavy weapon or multi-support type.

shes the cherub

[ShadowFox89]

 Oooh, right. My bad.

[ChaoticSky]

Anyway, basically, everything is in the first post i think, beyond that, weve decided that armed fighting = mech melee weapons, and fighting = engel melee weapons. in terms of characters, we have, other than the obvious engle/mech affiliations; a talker, a performer, writer (and/or artist?), a investigator and a technician, if im remembering right. tagers and sorcs are offlimits, and any parapsychic worth the name.

Mechwise we have a arial assault behemoth engel, a aquatic assault engel, your artillery support engel, a stealth mech, a aquatic heavy weapons mech, and a interceptor mech.

Said interceptor is just the preferred mech of my character.  He's given to driving Nazzadis, particularly the Storm in addition to the Kazidi, but he'll jump into the cockpit of a Sword just as easily - he prefers Claymores/Khopshes and Falcatas/Monsoons.

BTW, BEN?  Can we have a breakdown of the armors aboard the Victory?

That brings up a additional question. Its a given that mech pilots will beable to change their mech, but how easy is that and how much freedom to they have?

My understanding is that they are like a pair of shoes, not a pair of pants. ie, you have your shoes you wear every day, but then maybe you wear different shoes in special circumstances, like going to a wedding or onto a construction site. Not something you can change on a whim or every day (like pants). To use a IC example, you might pilot your incerceptor nearly all the time, but if say, were assaulting a fortified position, or going skinnydipping, youd switch (or get switched) over to something more appropriate. And you could change your main mech with some good RPing, like presenting a case for switching over to your CO.

I could be wrong though. Thats just how it looked to me, but its probably best to get the specifics nailed down before the game starts. Ben?

[NotoriusBEN]

good questions and I'll be getting to them soon. Ive got most of the OP for the story ready to go, just getting a map prepped at the moment. Im not going to worry about tokens at the moment (those were a bitch to update in my last games)

Im just trying to get it looking epic without looking like I pulled it from the book >.>

Additional random question, im nailing down Keys appearance and/or looking for a image, so i was wondering, do we need short military hair? >_>

[ShadowFox89]

or going skinnydipping

>.>

<.<

We must do this......

[NotoriusBEN]

man, hard decision... I know this game has heavy anime influences, but I always thought Asuka's hair length was a little much (is she always pulling it as she whips her head around in that eva?)

for mecha pilots, yea, having a short cut is needed. Its not as bad as the troopers on foot. Shoulder length is the limit.
For engel pilots, they can have longer hair, as long as it isnt like Rapunzel

[ShadowFox89]

 Ethnia's hair is acceptable then?

Speaking of NGE, would Engel suits be something like the plugsuits?

[NotoriusBEN]

you know what, I'll retract that from hair. Go ahead and choose a pic on the net that represents your character. If you want to say she cut her hair short, ok, if not, no big.
