[Other] Savage Worlds - Deadlands: Hell on Earth (Post Apocalypse) - The Siege of Crooked Cre

[taleteller50]

Just an FYI Remorazz.

The sooner we have a finished stat block for you the sooner Miller can show up. With the group currently being in a bar it's a perfect opportunity to walk in and meet them.

[Remorazz]

I think I'm basically done..

Do I get some hinderance points for being of the mutant race? Also thought of getting Enemy (Minor) as mutants for Silas are probably out to kill Joan's Heretics non stop.

I'm going to be out of town until Tuesday, am I too needy if I ask some help with the 500$ equipment? There's a buttload of stuff in there and I won't have the time to check it all, just some basic adventure-equipment and a long range weapon is fine for me, would like a rifle, preferably single-shot, but wouldn't kick a semi-automatic out of bed.

How much are you concerned with staying under the Encumbrance limit, which in your case is a not so great 20 lbs?

[taleteller50]

Cap Ut has a point. Which is why I'm suggesting a pistol vs. a rifle. They tend to be 1/3 the weight but 2d6 dmg vs. 2d8.

There are however a few other issues.

First is that you are missing a d4 in Notice and Stealth.

Two. We never decided on your Jackpot mutation. Are you going for a normal choice or a Greater Mutation like I mentioned before.

Third. Don't forget the Enviromental Protection Power.

As for Hinderance points, they don't typically come from race. Anyone can take up to 4 hinderance points. Minor = 1. Major = 2. Every 2 Points give you 2 skill advancements, 1 Trait advancement, or 1 edge.

For Enemy, Minor will indicate an individual looking to hunt you down while Major is a group. Being with Joan already puts you on Sila's hit list, just not 'actively' hunted.

We can actually work this in with why you're at Dornans. I figure Joan sent you north to check on the mutant communities up there. Specifically, around the Freeman territory. Problem is that the Freemen don't like visitors and you got into some trouble. One of the families tried to chase you down, blocking the main roads. So you took the summer road a little north of Dornans and you are on your way to Junkyard to touch base with a contact there.

In this case your enemy is one of the Freemen who hasn't given up on hunting you down. How that sound?

Suggested Loadout:

 

Police Pistol - $100
Ammo (.45) x25 - $25

Boiled Leather Shirt - $100
Boilded Leather Pants - $75
Handmade Shirt, pants, & shoes - Free
Welding Goggles (For your Night Eyes) - $25
Backpack - $30
Bedroll - $15
Messkit - $15
Medkit - $100
Canned Goods x3 - $15

You'll also have a Dirt Bike with some fuel to explain how you got to Dornans.

Thanks, I would have never notice the encumbrance on my own!
Stellar work with the equipment! Thanks for remembering the goggles!

Think I'm going to go normal, was thinking DeadShot mutation, but since I'm not the best shot maybe it's better to have extra bennies through Good Luck mutation?

All good with that, should I eventually define who the contact is?

[taleteller50]

You can if you wish but if not I'll just have him as a Doomie who's based in Junkyard. You can take the Connections Edge if you wish but it isn't required for this one-time contact.

[Remorazz]

Random Doomie dude works perfect for me

[Cap Ut]

Remorazz, I see you have taken 3 points worth of Hindrances. While there's nothing wrong in that, it's generally a good idea to squeeze all the points you can from Hindrances, not only they help define your character but the return is normally more valuable than the price

Also, be aware that with untrained Fighting, your total Parry is 2, in fact to add the half die you need to spend at least one point.

[taleteller50]

Taking that extra Minor Hinderance can also help round out your character more or give him a small quirk to make him more memorable. True, all you would get from in is a bump in one of your skills but it also provides role playing opportunities for your character.

It's up to you Remorazz but I think you're otherwise ready to go. Feel free to insert yourself into the story whenever you wish.

@Remorazz - I would also suggest taking all 4 points of Hindrances. They are essentially "zero sum" mechanics (since the flaws provide equivalent points to buy positive abilities), and oftentimes the synergistic effects of the bonus points actually result in a net benefit.

Also, if your Fighting is untrained, I would suggest using that last Hindrance point to buy that skill at d4. This would bump your Parry from 2 to 4, which is a huge difference in the Savage Worlds system. You'd still be a bit squishy, but that's nothing a good set of Armor can't fix.

Welcome to the game!

[taleteller50]

Looking for New Players Again. Check out the Ad and our game to see if you'd be interested in joining.

[BlackDragon0]

What if you haven't got any sorce books how can you create a ch or understand game play?

[Arkanis]

I just.....wow, what an ad .

This just hits my wishlist of every single thing I'd love to play in and be a part of. I saw this yesterday, and however much I said to myself "I don't have the books so I can't do this", but I'm lying to myself.

I really really really do want to do this very very much.

So consider this my interest placeholder while I think over concepts, you got me.

[taleteller50]

@BlackDragon0 & Arkanis: No worries, the system is actually pretty simple compared to some and I have a character creation primer in the ad. I'm more then happy to walk you through it and help you create something. All you need is an idea.

The game itself is more based on your decisions then anything and it's for the long haul. We've been playing for over a year and the group has only visited 6 out of the 75+ locations available to them and even with that there's some story still untold.

Of course, the group doesn't have to go to every location, there is a time limit within the game, but they have only scratched the surface of what's out there.

[Arkanis]

Awesome, cheers. Is it just one player you're looking for or more than that?
