PACYOA General #132(ish)

b- but I love making shit up

how does the opposed value bonus from things like flight work exactly? do they simply get +10 any time they spend MP to evade attacks or does that bonus have to be rationed out among incoming attacks.

also for tings like Brain implant I/II I assume a player has to purchase the level one form form before they can purchase the improved form but it's not explicitly stated and you know how people get about RAW.

They have to spend MP on each attack.

You can rule it that way. I had the players buy both if they wanted the second level.

I hate to be annoying but what i was asking about the OVP was lest say a player has two attacks coming at them say for 19 and 15 damage respectively do they get the +10 against each attack IE to evade 19 does the player spend 3MP to evade the first [10+(3*3)] and two on the second [10+(3*2)] or would the player only get the bonus on the first attack and need to spend five to evade the second (3*5)?

Oh sorry, I was looking at an old version. Its a pool so they need to ration out those bonuses.

Sadly you can only take armor plating once

We seriously need to make an Errata

Huh, I probably should have guessed but it also kinda made sense that you could stack it compared to the others. Honestly though, I don't see why you can't stack them. I get the possiblities for abuse, but isn't that FUN™?

Fun? Fun!?
>see pic related

Well I guess I'll just go and take my mechs elsewhere then if we hate FUN™ here. I only care about FUN™.

And I forgot to post my dang mech.

Hey now, lets not do anything rash. We want your mech here, we just try to stay away from name brand stuff. we have plaenty of KIRKLAND PLUS: ENJOYMENT

Well, alright. Only because you seem so nice.

Oh, also, can you take two of the "combine with" mech types on a single body? Like a bio-armored bipedal?

Friend I fear you have mistaken this for the CYOA general.

...

I'll try and get it to you later today.

Hmm, I need to remember which mission was the one where you and Paladin where with me.

I'm going to read through this stuff, but I'm going to ask what is this all about anyway. Besides Power Armours and what we do with them, of course.

It's all power armour and how you use them.

I think I'm gonna run a simple-ish mission in Antarctica. How many new people are interested?

Probably everyone. What time/zone?

Anything to get more points senpai
Also this

Yeah, you nailed it. It's a pool that can be rationed out to any number of attacks per round.

Honestly, OVP was wonky anyway so I'm contemplating a fix on that. Amongst a lot of other internal balances, like a proper dodge system that benefits from you moving around the bloody map rather than sitting around to dump MP on.

You can always poke me on IRC. I might not get back immediately, but I always get back inevitably.

Honestly, from experience I can say: Stacking anything is bullshit, no matter the system. Anything that just multiplicatively explodes (x*n) is a nightmare to deal with balance wise.
Like multiple weapon attacks.
Or having a 3d6 Greatsword due to oversizing in PF which breaks the rules RaW wise but you and the GM both missed the part where oversizing a 2h means it can't be held by medium creatures.

>mfw anything that either multiplicatively or exponentially increases and has no hardcap.
Fuck stacking.

It would have to be on a Saturday/Sunday from 10 AM to 10 PM CST

Lord of War. I'm Wing Jaeger if you weren't aware btw. Clownfish is the new character/suit I made since the revival. I'm planning on her being my new main.

Keiser was going to be my "new main" but he wound up a fugitive after his very first mission. I suppose its just as well, I've always wanted to run a shooty heavy and I know dear Tribes wouldn't want to be on the run with anyone but Keiser.
>I'm joking of course, poor Tribes.

I'll bet you just loved monks in 3.5

Alright, I can do that if it's on Saturday.

Add me to the signup b0ss
pastebin.com/dQaNJnXK

I'm running my mission this Saturday I'm planning on starting at 2pm PST (though I can change that if not enough people are available at that time).

It will have slots for 6 people and will be fairly difficult. I'm holding three of those slots for veterans as I think otherwise you'll all die (I'm not "trying" to kill you but it was designed to really push the team and most of the builds I've seen posted by new guys are light on weaponry [and points of course])

I'll post the main pitch in a couple hours but I'm worried by then there wont be any players left

>RaptR or maxXxlo(IRC Nick) here
can somebody please post the list of the people who signed up for ivans mission (can't come online on IRC)

I've been writing shit down as I learnt it, but I've only got a few so far.
Sounds interesting. It's too late for me, but I hope you get your players.
Ivan hasn't done it yet. I'll do it though:

BASED ON THE LAST, OFFICIAL SIGNUP ONLY:
Vets super special reserved slot
>Clownfish
Newfag economy class
>Henderson
>Aquils
>Buio
>Silver Knight
>Hazard Pay
>Basileus
>RaptR (You)
>Celer
>Bad War

Note: this is ONLY the people who asked to join, NOT people who are necessarily actually in the mission. Plus vets'll bump off any newfags.

Sounds good to me, I'm in.

>pastebin.com/H6BuqYdx

Dunno if I can make it or not.

many thanks

I'm not actually running it this Saturday, I'm just checking how many new guys there are available at that time

I'd be interested for any Sunday, Saturdays are out for me.

If it's next Saturday/sometime around Christmas then I can actually do Sunday too, because it'll be the holidays.

I'm here for pretty much any time for the rest of the month

If it's not this week, I could come along.

How am I doing here, PA Anons?
drive.google.com/open?id=1t6uFQICaNCKMoenNGOY-i1L4qwYE0Y0hgHTpdbQmsBE

I'm probably coming to bother you guys now, MGCYOA wasn't where I belonged anyway.

Nice use of google docs, but on the other hand
>That terrible font choice

I would most heartily approve of your character sheet were the font something more legible.

You're armament's terribly light. Also you need to indicate what that airstorm is armed with

I recommend changing the font to something more legible.

Other than that, the build itself looks great.

>Three people complaining about the font in the span of 7 seconds.

It's a sign buddy.

FIGURED THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM, but alright.I hope you guys spooping in there enjoyed that little font show.

if you want marksman you need to take cyberbrain

Also you need to indicate what that airstorm is armed with
Particle Beam. It replaced the Laser Rifle.

Fug. Time to bring out an extra weapon instead.

*>Also you need to indicate what that airstorm is armed with

>Zudah

I approve, Zudah a best.

That's literally my Zudah I'm still not done with it., I see you saved that from the lineart thread.

Indeed it is

I've been working on this off and on for a while. Its like an FAQ or a noobs guide.

>Dues Vult faction
OH BABY, TAKE ME NOW.

You mean the Allahu-Muad'dib faction.

I don't speak Sand, what does this mean in Grasslander?

God is educator.

Is the Pile Bunker just plan useless for two turns or can you actually do something with it while you wait for the BOOM to restore itself?

*plain

Wait nevermind, I just managed to read it properly. Of course it wouldn't work.

Yep. As compensation, I recommend carrying at least twelve pilebunkers, so you only spend one turn without weapons. 18 would be God-tier, but unfortunately impossible.

>I recommend carrying at least twelve pilebunkers
>18 would be God-tier, but unfortunately impossible.
This is some hot meme I don't understand because I'm brand spankin' new?

Not at all; I am deadly serious. In truth your suit should merely be a vector for the holy holiness of pilebunkers. It takes a lot of points, but I'm running more and more missions every day -- some day I hope to have twelve pilebunkers, or maybe even more!

>imagine
a suit covered in pilebunkers like a hedgehog

Some of you think this person is joking. He is not.

what do you mean by "far north" ? (HQ of the hanse behörde)

>im retarded
i meant the AC

But Celer is an oldfag.

I assumed the last post was for newdudes only, which is in fact completely wrong. Though AFAIK vet = more than general oldfag -- it's people who played in the specific prior mission.

>One might say that flight is too mainstream, but burrow’s still pretty underground.

Lol'd

sign me up senpai

shit

If you insist.

Operation Rough Rider:

An Armor Corps. officer strides into the hanger where the hastily assembled team awaits with their suits.

“Thank you all for coming. I am Field Commander Conrad, I will try to keep this briefing short. Yesterday evening a Hanse Behoard pilot on a PR assignment visiting the few remaining settlements in England contacted HB headquarters and requested immediate backup, a full team of combat specialist armors. The pilot was extremely vague about the reason for this sudden request, he claimed something suspicious was going on near the old Bovington Tank museum but he couldn’t quite articulate what it was. Hanse command immediately contacted AC command and requested we assemble a team and rendezvous with their man in England to investigate the museum; their man in England is an armor pilot but he’s a diplomat and not properly equipped or trained for combat so if he did run into anything nefarious at the museum he might not live to report back. Your job is to make sure that he does. You will rendezvous with the HB pilot, callsign Mr. Culexus, just outside the town of Dorchester, escort him to the remains of the museum, keep him safe while he investigates, and then return with him to the original rendezvous point just outside of Dorchester in time for extraction by dropship exactly 24 hours after your insertion.”

“Culexus has with him a long range transmitter, if the guy really is onto something and the shit hits the fan it can be used to call for emergency extraction however our dropship pilots have been instructed not to approach for pickup if you are still in contact with enemy suits. The ships are simply too valuable to be risked.”

>Mission starts 2 PM PST this Saturday (December 10th)

>The mission will be combat oriented however the team will benefit greatly from at least a single sensor oriented suit with a decent TECH modifier.

SHIT ON A CRACKER WITH A SIDE ORDER OF FRYS this is still going on?!

I remember playing this over a year and a half ago! I was part of Operation Falling Down! Poor El Blanco...

Anyway if operations are still going on id love to come back and take part again.

plz see

Bit more than a year and a half ago my man. Cool to see another vet though. Missions are going strong -- there's a few you can sign up to right now (especially if you consider yourself new).

>Please be aware that while player suits all have 15 HP most any enemy suit we fight will have at least 30.

About that. I haven't read much into it, but it seems that unless there's a boss in the picture, most enemy suits are just there to be blown away immediately by PCs. I find it hard to believe that they all have 300 point, 30 HP builds.

>He thinks Moqqadas is deus vult
How retarded do you have to be to think Templar when they've got a name like that?

>Implying most GM's actually build enemy suits, instead of just using them as mooks.

I'd do it, but I don't really have much time to GM in the Christmas season.

>t. New guy
Read the "Vannai Puppets" section of the factions.
