Of course, this results in Inquisitors thinking that maybe not all xenos are all that bad, and then you have yet another Excommunicate Diabolis who needs to be hunted down for collaboration with Xeno Horrificus. (translation: Rogue Inquisitor who is helping extremely hostile aliens. There are people dumb enough to try to use Tyranids to deal with various problems)

For further input about Servo Master: You will be able to control 1 murder hound at first, but you can get Mastermind 4 more times, which means 4 more murder hounds. Being a Servo Master means you control the hounds "as if they were extensions of your own body". So that may influence your decision.

And if we're not able to combine Voltron style once we get Mastermind 4, I'll be sorely disappointed.

With the small quibble of (Fel/10)*20 meters range, yes. Thats a lot of bulkheads to hide behind though. 1 2 x x x x x 3 x x Loel fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Mech Assassins are also fun. They can hack Machine-Spirits and redirect them. So someone's las pistol loses their safety margins, or air locks realize they need to open for safety.

paragon1 posted:3 We seem to do a LOT of killing. You can also do a lot of killing with a pack of robot dogs and cyborgs under your control. I honestly think that Servo master is the better killing things option for us, because our strength stat is poor and we already have some servitors and a cyber mastiff. Also, for what its worth, imagine us racing in our servitor vehicle with us using direct control over the vehicle. We'd probably be the best racer around with the ability to control that tightly and respond that quickly.

2 We need a fleet of servo skull buddies. To elaborate a bit for the non-acolyte people. When they said "simple Fel" they were using shorthand for the first rank of attribute increase. All basic attributes (WS/BS/Str/Ect) can be raised up to four times for an increase of +5 per upgrade. Each upgrade costs an escalating amount, and the shorthand goes as follows: Simple -> Intermediate -> Trained -> Expert. So hopefully that makes it a little easier to participate in experience spending.

I'm actually going to vote 3 because being able to control machine spirits is a REALLY valuable skill while on a space hulk, and we just got hands-on experience with fighting and using machine spirits for investigation.

Tainted Blood comes from being a slightly inbred noble living on a slightly irradiated and warp-infused Space Hulk, right? And appearance-wise it means someone can look at them and say "yep, that's a void-born, look at that pasty skin and weird eyes"?

Tech use +20 and whatever else will allow us to do illegal, heretical, terrifyingly awesome and awesomely terrifying things with technology, with the view to do the same with biology in the future. Like turning a demon into a servitor and giving it a thinking AI of our own programming (Could we get in trouble?). Can you explain blather and peers? I think we might need one or the other too.

Like turning a demon into a servitor and giving it a thinking AI of our own programming (Could we get in trouble?). Machine Spirits are acceptable, AI and the Iron Men are super heretical. The higher rank you are, the more flexibility you have on where that boundary line is. Using daemons as servants is Radical at best, Heretical at worst. Again, the higher you are, the more flexibility you have. Around level 6, a whole ton of options open up for what kind of heresy you want to explore, and if you can manage to find a Radical treatise or philosophy, you can gain an Elite Advance as Sworn Radical. Sworn Radical only requires level 3 Blather is the art of bullshitting: When you make a Blather Test, you stall for time by running off at the mouth, spewing a stream of words and nonsense in an attempt to confuseand distract others. A Blather Test is always Opposed by your target’s Willpower (or Scrutiny). If you succeed and the target fails, the target isdistracted by you and can do nothing for one Round, staring dumbfounded and wondering if you are drunk, crazy or both. For every degree of success, you dumbfound the target for an additional Round. If your target succeeds and you fail, or if you both fail, your attempt at verbalacrobatics fails and the target may act normally Peers means you know people who know people, you've made connections, friends, allies, and are generally accepted in a certain group. Mechanically speaking, it gives you a +10 fellowship in dealing with them - you know their customs and courtesies. Loel fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Sep 30, 2014 |
