ThePandaDirector Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 To be fair I've never had anything but good dealings with them, and while they've burned a lot of bridges I think they're starting to build new ones. Plus I'll be waiting for Arena Rex a lot longer than anything from MM, but that's kickstarter for you ;-) My personal beef is with CMON. Unlike MM I have suffered at their hand, but on top of that there are lots of great new companies being sabotaged by having CMON as a distributer. If Studio McVey make one change moving forward, I hope it's separating themselves from CMON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I know too many people (and some companies) that got the royal shafting from that guy. The fact that he's still wandering about running everything he used to having carefully tanked the debt means no more bridges for me, ever. CMoN are a menace at times too, indeed.

Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Reading about my character from Only War... Strength based tests includes damaging when I hit someone, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Um. I think so? Maybe? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well, it's a strength bonus at that point right? So I wasn't sure. Not that that gretchin would have survived anyway, but it might have been less mushy I'm also starting to realise my kit contains several combi tools or counts as combi tools. If they stack, I'm on about +30 to tech use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 LOL, awesome. That poor, poor gretchin... I still can't believe we lived through five kommando nobs... >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 That was an epic brawl. Lol. I'm still stunned I survived being grenaded in the first ten minutes, and having a bomb go off in my face. Was wondering if I'd be rolling up a new character for this week! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 O.o Simon XIV is... a bit handy. Just read all his rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 WS 15, BS 15, S 50, T 40, Ag 20, Int 10, Per 20, WP 30, Fel 05 Machine gives immulity to vacuum, cold, toxins, 4 armour all over (even against fire) Sturdy gives +20 against grapples and Takedown Unnat strength (2) so his strength bonus is 7 Natural weapon on a servo arm is 1d10+7, but can't parry or be disarmed Servo fist (melee 1d5+6 I, Pen 0) Awareness Trade (one)+10, so I can have him and me together granting +20 to my armouring He won't hit often, but when he does at 1d5 +6+7 he's going to shred stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 O.o damn! That's...that's scary, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oh wait, primitive makes the servo arm count any result above 7 as 7, so 1d7+7. But still, he's a bit epic considering I only used him as ablative armour last time! Oops... Course, I have to get the little sod to actually fight stuff, since last time he refused to!

Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Man, I'm glad I got this book - my utility mechadendrite is +15 to parry, while my manipulator is rather vicious, and both can be used as a reaction. Why did I not work all this out last time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Heh, sounds like you'll have fun next session! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Aye, I didn't realise making a standard attack was +10 and a half action either, so that's handy lol. But no +2 to my strength bonus for my mech arm though it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 No, if it's like the techpriest one, it has its own natural strength bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I can't actually see any form of bonus for it. I can use it once a round as a weapon with 1d10+2 I Pen 0 damage, but that's about it. Starting to wonder if I even get my own strength bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ohh...I know the difference now. I was using a servo arm, it's a different thing. Yours is more flimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah, the servo arm on Simon XIV is more powerful. I need to get me a melee weapon sometime soon I think! Though it uses my WS I guess, so presumably it uses my strength bonus too. Just not the extra for manipulation tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yep, an Astartes servo arm is very, very different. The strength bonus for the mech arm is already built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 yeah. This is just a lifting arm basically. Still, one day I'll get my omnissian axe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 And then I'll start hiding in the back even more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Might be a while though. Those things are gifts of the priesthood. Til then, I'll have to try and make myself a vicious something using my armoury skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
