Are we willing to switch up with Playtest 4?

Yes; I want to do this and know it will end up with some tweaking as edits come along later.

A Hopeful Change?

Post by Ndreare »

With SWADE coming I am excited to migrate.

I would like to remake the characters with TLPG SWADE play test 4 after it is released.

But I am only wanting to do this will 100% agreement from everyone.


Conversion Guideline will be as follows:
  • Rebuild from ground up.
  • Gain 2 additional HJ rolls over what is listed.
  • Any HJ rolls used for gear in previous build will still be used for gear.
  • Your gear list will remain the same for consistency. However the stats will be updated to the SWADE equivalent.
  • Your XP will round up to the nearest 5 points and become Advances (Example if you have 21 XP, then you have 5 advances).
Is there anything I am missing. Do you want to go forward with this?

This will also eliminate site rules. I will be keeping my universal free Common Bond table rules though.

We will only convert with 100% agreement. I am not willing to leave anyone behind.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Sorry, forgot to remove the HJ stuff meant for the Phase World game. It is gone now.

Extra HJ rolls are nice but not needed ( I would actually)

So this seems like a continuation of characters which is fine by me (I believe a rattling will be coming in the heroes of humanity).

I would also advise to wait until version 4, and the revised play tests come out. I think Maggie will be affected by psi ghost revisions and LC the nega psychic.

I am fine with the idea of making some changes. However, I think Fritz will need to be retired.

A Full Support/Utility style character does not work well for adventuring or the 99th. 50% Combat/Defensive capabilities, 25% knowledge skills, 25% for Trade Skills.

Fritz (currently) wouldn't do well even in a battle with super soakers.

I would restructure him for sure. Use his cyber to up his combat abilities or defenses. Round out his skill sets so that his brains are protected by his brawn and not one or the other.

So I assume this means the legendary table as well. Which is fine, just trying to be clear.

Okay, looks like Version 4 was released and I think we should all start working on rewrites.

Then let us know here you are ready for SWADE review.

Note: The following two house rules will be used for now until the final version is released.

1) No matter what, Even by stacking innate abilities with the free action attacks in the spells no one will be allowed more than 4 actions in one post.

2) Strength after d12 will double per step. I am not buying into the idea of dragon who cannot lift thier heads as being genre appropriate.

Sal will have to change. The nerf to the TW is far too much to bare. Haha, I don’t even use Machine Maestro half the time.

Looking forward to it.

I need to figure out a way to take one of Sal’s CKs as a side kick.

Rob, can you take a look at this when you get a chance. Rather than fight for a change to the custom edge, I'll just use the Nega-Psychic to make things easier. Look this over and see if it's acceptable to you. Also, we will need to look at his PA and change it for SWADE. It has custom edges that don't make as much sense as they used to. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LN5 ... sp=sharing
