Thanks.  I was looking on the OP.

Can someone better versed in magical theory than I tell me something, for progression with Calista in Mercy's arc: Most HMHVV victims can't eat, and they've got that lovely aversion to sunlight. I can't find any reference to something like the spell Alleviate Allergy or the drug Zero (If you could figure out how to get it into a vampire's system) not simply turning that right off. Did I miss a memo? Likewise, while not actually an allergy, is it possible to find a way to make it so a vampire doesn't upchuck everything they eat or drink? I know that it happened in "The Terminus Experiment" novel a couple editions ago, but I wouldn't even begin to know how to go about it.

There is a reference with the ghoul template in RF that they can delay the onset of nausea for 10 minutes with a successful composure test.
There is no rule that prevents you from using the spell Alleviate Allergy to reduce the severeness of the allergy.

*Changes Calista's spell list*

Thanks!

[Jack_Spade]

Just read the rules again. Slight correction: It's a Body+Will (3) test to keep the food down and the nausea at bay for 10 minutes. 

[BrickyardBabe]

Ah, perfect!

If memory serves, banshees and vampires actually get a little bit longer. There's one variant that gets up to an hour before the nausea kicks in, but without Run Faster in front of me I can't remember which one it is, and its inappropriate for a spellcaster anyway because its type 2 or type 3, and those both shoot you right in the essence.

Ok folks, CoF has an initial post up, feel free to post before or just after this in the timeline and I will fill in additional details as we go.  It's still ok to post in CoP if you want to tie up any loose ends there but I wanted to give CS and people a place to start posting.  I will get some character sheet links up tomorrow I hope but you can all find them on OP anyway...

In case you haven't seen it amidst the other PBP posts...Adamu is recruiting for his new game within the overarching 'living world' ...http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=23160.0 ...looks very interesting and I'm looking forward to taking the player side!

@Adamu: you might want to take out the bit about having to play on both threads...as I understand it DS isn't accepting new posters, or at least it is taking months to get approved, so we might have to bite the bullet and put the main focus here...up to you of course!  You are the GM for this one

Yikes - I'd heard that several months ago, but had assumed it was resolved.

No wonder their traffic is in the toilet.

I'll look into it and figure out a solution. Thanks.

Redjack on DS assured me all new apps are approved straightaway, usually by himself personally.

You do have to send them a follow-up e-mail to prove you're not a spambot...

[Jack_Spade]

I have to admit I'm sorely tempted, but I'm already active in three different games, two side threads and one I GM myself 

I'll have to think about it - especially what kind of character I could play (I would be sorely tempted to play a real robot if an AI without hacking-focus was allowed)

[adamu]

@Jack - for that last CoF post - was there a full version you wanted to put up?

Also, do you think your old friends will recognize you (maybe by gear or mannerism?) or should we not recognize you yet?


As for playing an AI...I am not above a bit of nepotistic rule-bending for my established gaming mates, and it would be a hoot to play alongside such a character, but man, I can't even understand the matrix rules - how would I GM something like that...?

[BrickyardBabe]

@Adamu: Carefully!

@Obidancer: Does Deckard have masking? If he does, is he using it?

[obidancer]

@BrickyardBabe: Nope, no Masking for him.

I understand. It took me awhile to grok them. That's why I'd play an AI in a robotic body with no more hacking than direct connection - open door - if at all.
Everything else is physical, meatbag.
