Some Rippers Questions:

In regards to Reason:

It says in the description of Reason that as long as you have no Rippertech, your reason cannot fall below 0. Am I right is assuming that the "Over Sensitive" Hindrance is an exception to that?

Would taking the "Down to Earth" Edge be a sound way of increasing my Reason durring play, or would a character still have to spend the month in treatment to increase reason?


In Regard to Rippertech Extract, Aetheral Form:

When drinking this potion, does this make the just the characters body invisible, like the invisible man, or does it cloak the character and all their gear, like a vampires reflection?

Since it's side affect is permanent invisibility, would it be suitible for use with the "Ripping Psychosis" Hindrance, essentially having an "Invisible Man" Ripper?

As a permanent effect, would it be fair to have only the characters body invisible, essentially leaving them unarmed and unarmored if they want to be invisible, and imposing -6 penalties on people interacting with the character, as if they were blind. For instance, Healing. If the doctor can't see the patient, it will make them difficult to treat. I also think permanent invisiblity would be grounds for -2 Charisma; you can't see them, you don't know if they are sneaking about when your alone, and you can't read their facial expressions. Is that all too harsh?

I cannot find it, but I know that it was asked. What does the Holy Water in Rippers? How does it work?

p27 - "The soldier using the set is at -4 to all Notice checks to detect ambushes. Mine detectors provide a +4 to the Notice roll to detect mines or metallic booby traps."

p64 - "+2 Mine detector vs. mines"

Which one is it?

Hi!

This is for NE. My apologies if this has been asked before. I sincerely cannot parse through 34 pages of posts tonight.

I was running a game last week when I made a horrifying discovery:

V'sori blaster weapons are not Heavy Weapons! Oh crud, as I have been running them as Heavy Weapons, thus cutting my duraweave-wearing villains to shreds against the rules! Arrgh!

Here's what I am looking at:
• Drone Heavy Blaster: Range 15/30/60, Damage 3d6, shots 20, AP 4, Double Tap, Blaster overcharge rules. (NE p. 135)

• Hyperdrone Blaster Cannon: Range 50/100/200, Damage 3d8, ROF 3, AP 4, shots 180, Blaster overcharge rules. (NE p. 136)

• Warshpere Heavy Blaster: Range 15/30/60, Damage 3d6, ROF 3, shots 20, AP 4, Double Tap, Blaster overcharge rules. (p. 136)

Ktharen Blaster Rifle (Range 30/60/120, Damage 3d6, ROF 3, shots 45, AP 4, Three round burst). (p. 137)

...and on and on... This can't be right, can it? <whimper>

I mean, these guys have taken over the galaxy with laser weapons that don't do HD? I, myself, am running them as such, as it would otherwise leave a majority of the V'sori's war machine unable to affect a hero with a simple Duraweave suit. At least a Z-belt makes sense, as its effects wear off over prolonged use.

Therefore, is this a proper change of the system rules? Or, rather, is the Duraweave suit supposed to have some sort of "Z-belt limitation" that has been removed from the text?

Thank in advance!

Game on,

Dane

I apologize for the delay in this, Dane. I wrote a reply, and I think instead of hitting Submit, I hit Preview and then closed the program. Anyway, I'll try again.

In NE,

Can the Construct power be bought as a Device? Like a Belt that turn the character's body into a Construct body? If it must be also activated, would the Construct power costs only 3 PP? If it isn't possible by the offical rules, would this cost be too cheap if I house rule that?

Thanks

An NE question:

A friend and I were comparing my second-hand copy of NE to the PDF version he bought recently, and we noticed some glaring differences. For example, the Toughness power costs 2/level and allows the Heavy Armor modifier in the PDF, whereas my book lists the cost as 3/6/9 and allows the Hardy modifier.

Did I get conned into buying an older version of the book? If yes, where can I find a list of the differences between the older printing and the pdf?

Two 50 fathoms-questions:

The Booty table: Kings Ransom is listed as 1d10 * 500$, wich is exactly the same as next level down. Should this be 1d10 * 5000$ instead - that sounds more like a Kings Ransom to me, anyway.

Also, I can't find the price for chainshots and the other "special" cannonballs.

An NE question for y'all. I couldn't find this in the Settings FAQ pdf, so I'm sorry if it's been asked before:

How do you compute the cost of the Super Edge power when it's supplied by a Device?

Do you:

a) Consider each acquired Super Edge to be its own power costing 1 point, (2 -1 for the Device)?

OR

b) Consider Super Edge to be a single "block" power that grants you a number of Edges, and apply the Device modifier to that block of points?

Thanks,

-HT
