freaking out and not logging into discord is a brainlet tier reaction and is probably what they want you to do
I remember I also had a GM ragequit deathwatch
Hmm?
It's 40k but as spacemarines. I made a Librarian blood angel. I rolled my basic stats (before adding the chapter mods) and i got between 43-50 on my stats. Near perfect
then I rolled my armor, my armor was a MK 4 suit and I got the best armor histories ever. I got +20 to strength bonus from my Armor history as it said "Strength bonus" rather than strength in rites of battle. Then my armor gave +20 charisma by default (25 if i wore no helm), I got +10 agility from corvus legs armor history, and +1 fear factor as my armor is always covered in blood and it never comes off.
So at the start i'm a psyker with 50 strength, (30 strength bonus), 53 Agility, and 75 charisma without a helm.
I feel like getting charisma and fear at once is kinda contradictory
the Armor by default gives Charisma bonus
the older the armor, the more charisma
But it's covered in blood
then my armor adds +20 to strength for default. So my strength in armor is 70, with a SB of 5*
whoops, forgot you don't do 10s
so I add +7 to all attacks in melee damage
which is doubled for being a marine
If som 7 feet tall guy in full body suit stands before me, covered in blood, my first thought isn't exactly going to be "oh, what a sympathetic fellow"
Then you're a heretic.
And will be purged.
The Omnissiah protects
so I got +14 to all attacks, and I add my Psy bonus for being a psyker which is 2. I got +16 with a force sword. Its perfect
So i go the whole game, never using psychic powers without the Chaplain telling me to use them
Then I gained artificer armor 2 months in, got another +10 to agility, and 2 more armor histories. Which got me a Mk 3 helmet, and a modified MK 4 chest piece with an Iron collar. The helmet gives an additional +5 charisma.
Though RL me is far closer to a Tech Priest than a Space Marine...
Wouldn't an older helmet by default have worse defensive stats tho
The part where the DM rage quits, is the last time I use psyionic powers was when I already hit fear rating 4 and I use "VORTEX OF DOOM" which lets you insta-kill anything that fails an agility role by this black-hole you opened for 1 round.
Erm.. the equipment is maintained spectacularly..
the Older Helmet did lower Defense but give more charisma and my Iron Collar can deflect headshots to the torso on a roll of 1d10 (5 or less it goes to the chest)
all MK 3 gear is basically the same as wearing MK 2 but better armor on the front vs back.
Nah, I meant, as in its an older model, it has less features etc @Laucivol
It lowered my perception bonus for "Auto-senses" and it has less armor, like 1 pt less of armor.
Fair nough
Oh, that doesn't make all that much sense to me.. as 40k did have a dark age.. though that depends on how old we're speaking. Though, I know the setting.. not the system.
But becoming artificer armor it becomes 12 DR all around.
Since there have more been ten thousand years since the Horus Heresy
I imagine quite a lot changed armour wise
Especially around Mk 1 and 2
Mechanics wise, in lore, mk 4 is the best armor of all the armors as it's the height of technology. In the PnP system it does have slightly less DR than mk7 but it has the best Life support, better perception, etc.
so its got 1 point of armor less than mk 7 all around, but its got everything else as better rule wise
if you are suicidal and wear mk 1 you got the weakest armor but a +30 to charisma with everyone around you
See I don't get this
I saw mk 1 space marine designs
