Plus Ultra Custom (D8 EE Event Hangars)
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2022 2:35 am
(Open to all. Optional)
At the Chief Mechtech's urgings, and with the CO's approval, a meeting is called in Kenna's office to decide something. Something important. The Militia sites had given the Angels various mech parts as salvage. Now that work crews were focusing on repairs and preparations for the attack tomorrow, Kenna was free enough to start a project he'd been keen on for years now. Not only that, but the parts for it were on hand. What did that mean?
Someone was going to get a custom mech!
It would be easy to argue with the here and now of it. However, the eccentric technician had somehow gotten Eric's thumbs up and it was happening. The only choices were to ignore it or to put in a proposal. Kenna had called a meeting to hear ideas and wishes from the lance leads. Certain others that wanted to speak in support of those wishes were also invited. The most persuasive yet achievable proposal would become something Kenna tried to make a reality.
This event is a chance for Combat Characters to customise their mech. The character who receives the most points, wins. You will be able to work with me to design a customised mech using your mech's existing chassis. Double heat sinks, ferro-fibrous armour and gauss rifles are available, along with certain additional weapons such as medium pulse lasers. I'll contact you with the specifics. In the event of a tie, the highest Ideas! roll will be the winner. If somehow still tied, I'll randomly determine the winner.
To get points there are two rolls, as below, that you can make. Non-Combat Characters may also participate and award half their points total (rounded down) to a Combat Character that is participating.
1) Ideas!
First, you need to pick out some good ideas such as improvements or performance issues to address. This is a Technician: Mechtech [Intelligence] OR Piloting: Battlemech [Perception] roll TN15. You may add your Rank (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to this roll. E.g. A 1st Lieutenant at Rank 3 would add +3 to the roll.
You receive 2 points for success and 1 point per successful raise. Gain a free raise on the roll for each of the following Advantages: Human TRO: Mechs, Gearhead, Great Destiny and Crafter.
2) Persuade!
You have an idea, but now you need to sell Kenna on it. You could speak from the heart or the mind. This is a Communication [Awareness] or Negotiation [Awareness] roll TN15.
You receive 2 points for success and 1 point per successful raise. Gain a free raise on the roll for each of the following Advantages: Good Communicator, Exceptionally Attractive, Forgotten Knowledge: Lostech and Natural Salesperson.
Connections:
Finally, characters can also ask a single Obsidian Angels Connection they have to support them. Gain bonus points equal to their influence.
