Megaman: Planet Taris [Forum] [Dice]

[shepsquared]

So this is going to be a Megaman rp using a custom system and set in the far futureIt will take place primarily on the planet Taris in the Nova Spero system, which was cut off from Earth after an entity created a new maverick virus with evil energy and destroyed the FTL booster.


You'll be maverick hunters, either augmented humans or reploids. The system is attached and is rudimentary.

Let me take a look at the system, and I will consider.

 

[TacoMann]

As will I. I'm a MegaFan, Man!

[vinom]

Hmm... I can dibs on the skillful character... I'm imagining a medic girl with a team of color coordinated Mets.

I will fight you with knives for that role!


Work is kinda hectic for me lately, but I hope to have a character for you by sometime during the weekend!

 

[Melissia]

Are you still working on the rules? They do seem incomplete a bit.

 

[shepsquared]

What seems to be missing?

 

[vinom]

Skill specialization


A means of recovering Weapon Energy besides making a new character

 

[TacoMann]

E-tanks as common loot and purchaseable items?

 

[vinom]

An explanation of how experience/upgrading your stats and abilities works.

 

[shepsquared]

You kill enemies for more weapons. You spend money to get people to upgrade you. Weapon Energy refills after a charge period (1/2 hour per energy, half it in bright sunlight) and with certain items.


What do you mean skill specialization?

 

[vinom]

I mean, rules as written, Trivia 5 makes me equally good at Surgery, Robotics, Physics, Chemistry, Blackhat Hacking, Entomology, Vulcanology, and History of Time Travelers through out the Ages... what if I want to specialize in just a few of those.

 

[Melissia]

Similarly, I'd like to ask: Would it be possible to give up the default blaster and instead have an energy melee weapon of sorts (instead of an "iron sword"-- so low-tech ) be the default weapon?


Perhaps an energy dagger or something, does 2 damage, no energy cost, melee, integrated-- with the energy blade being the charged up version? Was planning on using Mega Man Zero as the basis of my character's style. Primary energy blade, with a laser pistol as ranged backup.

I swear I had that in there, I wrote up Axeman and Bolt man to test the system.


Just as a note, you can refluff your primary weapon. (Boltman effectively has what Terrans use in Starcraft but it fires a lot slower). If it's something major I'll just make it an upgrade (since you will have the chance to upgrade it as you play)


Iron Swords and other non-technological weapons may have advantages other than no energy cost. I may have an enemy who's shield halves all energy damage or something. I haven't set most of the mooks in stone since they'll be scaling to you guys.

Yeah, I'll look at that in the morning. Trivia may get split in 2 or just include specialties. I'll then make the thread and post the updated rules.

 

[Melissia]

You didn't have it in the rules (just like the descriptions for defense and other derived stats are missing from the stats section )

 

[vinom]

Honestly, I'm thinking my character will have a Variable Weapon System and a low firepower stat... kitbashing their powers into stand-alone weapons for my sniper joes sounds much more doubleplusgood.

@shepsquared


You mentioned you intended to make rules for customizing your default weapon, can you make them? It's been a few days since you last posted so I'm hoping it's just the alerts system mucking about.
