Cross Effects 3.0 - The Third Time's the Charm? General Discussion

[SINIB]

About what?

[Panda]

About what?

About what it is that looks 'pretty damn good'?

[SINIB]

The sheet. In my opinion, it looks pretty good.

[Panda]

The sheet. In my opinion, it looks pretty good.

Yay!

Credit to Arch-Magos, who I will admit that I copy-pasta'd some of it from.

One more question. Can I do a member of the Legion of the Damned? Because god damn it all that would be awesome.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

What about Angry Marines?

And what kind of gear are we talking about? The Teleport homers? The Iron Halos? The Storm Shields? Give me some examples to work with.

Would I be restricted to specific types of Marines (Devastator, Assault, Tactical, Veteran, Dreadnought)?

No dreadnoughts, no assault, no devastator, tactical maybe, with basic bolters and limited ammo.

As for gear, no iron halos, DEFINITELY no teleport homers, storm shields... I'm going to say no. They're already wearing armor that'd make a werewolf cry, and this is an urban fantasy thing.

Hell, I'm going to say apart from armor, basic melee (no power fists/thunder hammers) and bolters with very limited ammunition, nothing at all. Think of the setting and all.

This includes primarchs. They got what they're known for (ex: Mortarion's lamp/scythe) but stuff like iron halos and whatever else got fried when they came to nexus. Basic apparatus only.

This is not an OP arms race.

Tempting. Eliphas the inheritor? Honsou? Fabius Bile?

Those are marines. I meant cultists as in the crazy little guys who speak in a high pitch at you in DoW. Alternatively the kind you play dark heresy to purge.

Commissar Yarrick, Creed, and Inquisitorial aide Psyker Alicia Boone.

No yarrick, sure creed and... yeah, Psyker'd be okay.

One more thing. What about Imperial Assassins (Vindicaire, Eversor, Culexus, Callidus, and those other two that I can't remember right now)?

Not gonna ask about Custodes because they're kinda mini-primarchs.

Vindicaire no, eversor... yeah, probably antagonist slot only(because crazy), Culexus no, and callidus, well... I'm tempted to say yes, but with damaged gear and shit.

And post-heresy custodes would totes be okay.

Apologies. The inconsistencies with the strength of Space Marine armor have me somewhat wary.

What about Purity Seals?

Hell, I'm going to say apart from armor, basic melee (no power fists/thunder hammers) and bolters with very limited ammunition, nothing at all. Think of the setting and all.

This amuses me, especially when I consider that someone fielded a Grey Knight Brother-Captain during the 2nd run of this RP.

This includes primarchs. They got what they're known for (ex: Mortarion's lamp/scythe) but stuff like iron halos and whatever else got fried when they came to nexus. Basic apparatus only.

So, someone like Ferrus Manus would keep his metal hands and his crazy weapon/armor-smithing talents?

And someone like Vulkan would keep his Perpetual status?

And someone like Robout- wait, what the fuck am I saying?

This is not an OP arms race.

Fair enough.

Those are marines. I meant cultists as in the crazy little guys who speak in a high pitch at you in DoW. Alternatively the kind you play dark heresy to purge.

My bad. So you mean like the Lost and the Damned, or Cultist-chan?

No yarrick, sure creed and... yeah, Psyker'd be okay.

If Creed, would be allowed to keep his personal armaments (Pair of Hellpistols), or is he going to be relying entirely on his tactical genius?

Vindicaire no, eversor... yeah, probably antagonist slot only(because crazy), Culexus no, and callidus, well... I'm tempted to say yes, but with damaged gear and shit.

Vindicaire, I can understand (Probably can't find Exitus bullets), Callidus, kinda understand.

Eversor might be a problem, what with how they're basically the apocalypse shoved into a human body.

Culexus...why not? I mean, how bad would anti-soul be in an Urban fantasy?

And post-heresy custodes would totes be okay.

Hell yes.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Culexus...why not? I mean, how bad would anti-soul be in an Urban fantasy?

It's the mask and the psychic laser beam it shoots. It's silly. They're silly.

Also the nature of blanks would make culexus a little hard to play, since that don't have an off switch, has AoE and nexus has a fair amount of psychics/muhgiciens and stuff.

I mean the more I think about it it's fine even with all equipment and stuff (etherium would be interesting), but like, it'd be awkward for you to play since you'd have to check with everyone to see if they can actually approach this character without them flipping their shit.

Hell yes.

If you want to play a naked, sweaty, oily man with an obsession with protecting daddy, sure.

Wait what? What about all the badass golden arm- oh fuck. Forgot about that.

Why did they forsake their armor?

[Alice]

Finally, got a second character up. Chose Rin because I figured I'd attempt to redeem myself for screwing up with her characterization a bit towards the end of 2.0.

[Kat]

ANother delay in submitting a second sheet. A huge translation request. Third this week.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Approvals updated. Unless I'm mistaken, that's all of them.

EDIT: Missed one, approved him. Anyone else got beef? Huh? Come and get some.

Just as a quick note, in order to include an image within your post, all you need to do is type this:

[img ]http://InsertImage'sURLHere[/img]

Without that gap at the end of the first [img] of course. It needs to be a url from a website or it won't work. You can just copy and paste the link in between the [img] tags. Another thing to keep in mind is that if a site doesn't like hotlinking, the image won't work, so you'll either need to upload to someplace like imgur or find an alternate site that accepts people hotlinking things.

This has been a public service announcement. May it actually be vaguely useful.

Mordred will use some British slang in her speech patterns, she is supposed to be from there after all.

[Panda]

Thinking back on the original Old Man Henderson, I suppose I should apologize to Elf ahead of time, in case Henderson derails anything that she has planned.

Sorry in advance.

Lol, whilst that is strictly-speaking true, she sure as hell wouldn't have spoken English....
