Rainbow Six Siege IPS-N edition

ornate verge
#

God yeah it was. Had them go through a complex that was originally gonna be a maze and a half.......Tortuga with siege ram said otherwise lol

covert surge
#

hopefully the Tort and Duilius synnergize as well as their fluf suggest

ornate verge
#

Honestly they do. Tort can smash a hole in a wall and Duilius can plug it and then fire the arc projector in the room frying everything in it.

ornate verge
covert surge
#

sth sth the shortest distance between two points is a straight line

ornate verge
west bridge
#

hellooo - sorta had this answered already, but anyone know of some good synergies from TM&T stuff to throw on a Caliban? been pointed to some Dullius bits already but wondering if there's other bits too

covert surge
#

Brudenell LL2 has a system that lets you choose the dirrection when you apply melee knockback

west bridge
#

ooo az_shake

#

i've been pointed in the direction of duilius for legion and possibly arc suppressor too

but seriously it looks super cool

#

Interesting. The main source I can think of for Ambusher triggers is probably mines, which is a pretty interesting combination with Atlas gear.

#

Hey, part of the group that's helping @cerulean smelt playtest. I have a question and perhaps some feedback about Dagon. With the Haunt free action granted by #_UR Packet, can you destroy ANY digital construct, or only one created by the Yellow Signal? If the latter's the case, that should probably be specified.

#

Actually, after looking at it harder, it's clear that it's specifically Yellow Signal constructs.

cerulean smelt
#

Got a player absolutely Arthurmaxxing

cobalt sonnet
covert surge
#

Also prepare action ;)

sudden cargo
#

oooh

covert surge
#

Hows Arthur btw

rain topaz
#

Btw, how do you pronounce Xerces?

covert surge
#

Zer-sees

rain topaz
#

Dope, I got it right

#

Overall, I quite like it, kickass visual design with very cool and good mechanical design

potent ridge
#

Oh I thought it was like Zerk Sees

#

makes sense

potent ridge
#

Absolute bangers everytime

#

how do you do it

covert surge
#

I do them when im supposed to be doing sth else

#

Endless energy

potent ridge
#

when you think of making new mechs

#

do you often base the design idea on the abilities

#

or vice versa

#

what usually comes first

covert surge
#

I usually have an archetype/vibe in my head, then i make the kit to evoke that vibe, then i draw based on the original vibe

cerulean smelt
#

It's such a good blend between team support and all-out damage

#

My players had a really good time playing as and with the arthur

raven socket
#

I do wonder if we should redesignate it striker/support, sometimes :P

cerulean smelt
#

Had 4 players this time around

raven socket
#

What was everyone else in?

cerulean smelt
#

A Rat King
A Dagon
A Brudenell
An Arthur

cobalt sonnet
#

arthur looks pretty fun

cerulean smelt
#

All LL6, went up against 8 veterans

#

Dagon absolutely popped off, which is the lovely @open bison here

#

Sacraficial spear and Ur_Packet is absolutely terrifying in all the right ways

#

Our Brudenell had a blast ramping up all their kinetic battery charges, ended up knocking some poor soul across the map

ornate verge
cerulean smelt
#

Had an instance where a bombard went ham on our Rat King and ended up dealing 21 explosive damage-

#

didn't even get the chance to use the poor drones

#

but regardless they built them back up

#

excellently quick

covert surge
#

Rat King is prime aoe target

cerulean smelt
#

pretty good that way ngl

raven socket
#

I really appreciate you doing these playtests for us, by the way

cerulean smelt
#

No problem! My players and I absolutely adore this LCP so it's no work at all

#

Seeing Arthur in practice has definitely made it my favourite out of the bunch

#

Can't wait to see more Albatross styled mechs

#

🀞 Spartan SSC mech when 🀞

open bison
#

I've certainly had good tactical fun with the frames I've been playing so far.

rain topaz
#

Mech scale slingshot when catyes

cerulean smelt
#

Next we're thinking of trying out Dragontail, Painted Lady (despite the incident), and big ol' Six Billion Passwords

#

So we'll def get back to you guys on that

raven socket
#

Six Billion Passwords is a lot of fun
I played them a little (only up to LL2 tho) in the campaign I'm in
Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

cobalt sonnet
#

will probably be ratmaxxing again. that thing speaks to me pretty carnally.

cerulean smelt
#

The sexual tension between me and Arthurmaxxing

rain topaz
#

XD

cobalt sonnet
#

the rat king is what I wished the hydra could be

rain topaz
#

i honestlly really wanna play a dagon

#

if only cause the first time i looked at it, i didnt see the art (i was on mobile comp/con), and so my immediate first image was a massive fuck of lindwurm style dragon

cerulean smelt
#

LINDWYRMS <3333

rain topaz
#

just curling around buildings and squishing mechs

#

all while being the hacker of the team

cobalt sonnet
#

perhaps some future concepts

rain topaz
#

i absoulktly love designs that seem to represent the opposite of what they do

#

a massive hacker, a tiny melee

cerulean smelt
#

contrasting designs my beloved

rain topaz
#

a goblin you've hooked a d/d 288 to

#

which is a legitamenta build a friend of mine who im getting into lancer made

cerulean smelt
#

The Barbarossa moving at the speed of a freight train:

cobalt sonnet
#

we've all made at least one d/d288 goblin.

rain topaz
#

the best part is theres a whole core bonus that supports it

open bison
#

A sword-swinging agility well with spider legs and the shortest torso alive

cerulean smelt
raven socket
#

The primal urge to mount a massive sword on the dedicated artillery mech:

#

Oh wait-

cerulean smelt
#

irony

rain topaz
#

the way i flavored the dagon was, it was a custom 'Remorhaz' pattern frame, that utilized a custom reactor/processing sysytem that ran computer systems all along the spine/frame of the thing, and then using a massive hollow crevice as a giant heat sink/heat esxiting system

#

the other theme of the build was fucking around with heat

#

it used burst launchers and cooling rod gun to fire fireballs

cobalt sonnet
#

FUCKUNG DISCORD KEEPS CRASHING AT THE END OF MY MESSAGES

rain topaz
#

i dubbed it the "Balefire"

RAT KINGS RISE UP

raven socket
rain topaz

together we will tangle our tails and consume all

cerulean smelt

Oh god they're multiplying

#

well, fusing rather

cobalt sonnet
#

Teamp composition? Wrong. Rat Attack. πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

rain topaz
#

no its actually very important to understand that we arent fusing

#

we are all connected by the tail

#

we are not graveful in the slightest

raven socket
#

I wonder what happens in a 4 player game where everyone is a rat king

rain topaz
#

our minds have not joined, just our forms

cobalt sonnet
#

I would kill to play that

rain topaz
#

im on winter break i will play that

cerulean smelt
#

All fun and games till the fucking mountain of drones begins swallowing Goliaths

cobalt sonnet
#

I've already got a vision for my next rat king

cerulean smelt
#

Fuck it we keen?

rain topaz

"THE ALBTROSS SURE THINKS THEY KILLED THE MAW BUT THEY HAVENT MET FUCKIN US"

raven socket

I'd be up for it tbh

cobalt sonnet

SPUTNIK'S SWEETHEART - HORUS RAT KING
that name is actually a double pun only I and the most based individuals on the fucking planet would get

any weatherday fans in chat if so we are so fucking back

rain topaz
cerulean smelt
#

Same here

cobalt sonnet
#

oh goodness, I have work!

cerulean smelt
#

Well, ofc timezones may be an issue

rain topaz
#

Has anyone been geryonmaxxing yet

cobalt sonnet
#

I'm at work!

rain topaz
#

but yeah, if someone will run it i will play the all rat king party

raven socket
#

The weekends are probably the best for me
Can also do weekdays after 5PM UTC

cerulean smelt
#

I'm in New Zealand so I'm hours ahead of the whole world

#

shit sucks sometimes

cobalt sonnet
#

on the off chance people are available on Wednesdays (CST) I'm so fucking gaming

#

because I do work weekends

rain topaz
#

im avaliable just about any time that works

raven socket
#

I should be free on Wednesday after work

cobalt sonnet
#

fuck it we ball??? we might ball.

rain topaz

we might ball

cobalt sonnet
cerulean smelt
#

Dip into Napoleon

raven socket
#

What LL will this be, btw?

cobalt sonnet
#

fuck if I know! has anyone even volunteered as GM?

rain topaz
#

feels like maybe a higher one like around 6 if we wanna survive as 4 rat kings

cobalt sonnet
#

don't say me do Not say me

#

6 is average

#

6 is the standard

rain topaz
#

dope

cerulean smelt
#

I've never been a player so def not me

rain topaz
#

not it

raven socket
#

Hey eisen- /j

cobalt sonnet

waitwaitwaitwait

rain topaz
#

(plus i dont have enough expierence to run a game yet)

cerulean smelt
#

I want an excuse to finally play lmfao

rain topaz
#

just 3 rat kings chanting in a circle around an effigy of eisen

raven socket
#

Who is da big rat that makes all da rules, though

rain topaz
#

can i suggest, all the frames be named after different old kings?

cerulean smelt
#

Good question..

#

The Fomorian Frame Rat King

rain topaz
#

perhaps all with rat puns

raven socket
#

My mind immediately jumps to heratcles

cerulean smelt
#

I'll add a flight system and call it the Bat King

rain topaz
#

just love watching my favorite part of lancer so far, which is just how fast a shitpost-level idea can become something viable and playable

cerulean smelt
#

every dumbshit idea is a good idea

raven socket
#

I could in theory GM but I'm not great at narrative stuff

cerulean smelt
#

Could count it as a playtest and just go with light narrative

rain topaz
#

this toke 10 minutes to escalate to this

cobalt sonnet
#

hey I actually do have a question though

raven socket
#

Hm?

cobalt sonnet
#

do other allied rat kings

#

uh

#

how do I word this

rain topaz
#

omg

cobalt sonnet
#

How does entangled work

rain topaz
#

we are all entangled

cobalt sonnet
#

For allies

rain topaz
#

please

#

i pray to turk

cerulean smelt
#

Entangled with my pookies

cobalt sonnet
#

I don't have the lcp on hand

raven socket
#

I'm.. Not entirely sure
Hey @covert surge

rain topaz
#

we are all rat kings, we all myst be entangled

cobalt sonnet
#

hey terk? hey terk can allies be entangled?

cerulean smelt
#

I know love exists, because I literally can't get away from this guy

rain topaz
#

the amount of team composition you would have to destory to achieve this, it must be okay

raven socket
#

I'm in bed and can't check the LCP rn

cobalt sonnet
#

are you kidding. this is actually just viable. you people havent played enough zerg & it shows

cerulean smelt
#

Has anyone tried a terashima rat king??

cobalt sonnet
#

terashima rat king is an interesting cade

rain topaz
#

we have switched from chanting around the eisen effigy to chanting around the terk effigy

cobalt sonnet
#

case

#

you can't change stances on your drones

#

just remember that

cerulean smelt
#

aghhh truue

#

Clarent Rat King

rain topaz
#

im just imagining floating ball-drones with a full katana sticking straight out of it

rain topaz
cerulean smelt
#

NAHHHH Rat King with the Caestus

rain topaz
#

rat king dont have a heavy mount

cerulean smelt
#

I forgor

rain topaz
#

cause terk hates us

#

omg

raven socket
#

But I suppose I can GM tomorrow (if nobody else wants to), as much as I'd like to play
Lemme throw a when2meet up and we can see if the times work out

rain topaz
#

wait

covert surge
#

Uhhhhhh

#

Duplicate mech is not sth i thought abt

rain topaz
#

please terk

#

please

#

do it for the vine

cobalt sonnet
#

this could be so busted so easy

cerulean smelt
#

Anything for the bit

rain topaz
#

but it also requires atleast 2 rat kings

cerulean smelt
#

The Bitβ„’

raven socket
#

Should I just include tomorrow in the when2meet or a week's worth?

cobalt sonnet
#

oh I cannot be here tomorrow

cerulean smelt
#

Mighty Morphin' Rat Rangers

cobalt sonnet
#

I have work tomorrow

#

I do not have work the next day

#

unless by tomorrow you mean

#

well

covert surge
#

I think RaW it works? Since to get entanglement the two drone swarm must touch

cobalt sonnet
#

what do you mean when you say tomorrow

raven socket
#

I thought you said wednesday was fine

cobalt sonnet
covert surge
#

And when touching all drones that are touching counts as entangled to the main rat

cobalt sonnet
#

today is my Monday. I work the night shift.

rain topaz
cobalt sonnet
#

it is Tuesday, but I will be available Wednesday evening. but I do work, on Tuesday, which eats into Wednesday, but only Wednesday morning

rain topaz
#

i feel like honestly, it would be fun if we allowed it for this, and then we also get to test how broken it is

cobalt sonnet
#

that won't make sense but trust me

raven socket
cobalt sonnet
rain topaz
#

yes

#

which is predicated on having more than 1 rat king

raven socket
#

Gonna sleep more but I'll fill it out later

rain topaz
#

which i think is a bit rare

raven socket
#

Also select your timezone

#

In the top left

covert surge
#

Nah that doesnt work the movement mirroring only applies to entangled drone

cerulean smelt
raven socket
#

And the thing overlays everyone's availability

cerulean smelt
#

OHH!

#

That makes so much more sense ty

raven socket
#

And we can see when is good for all of us

#

np np

covert surge
#

Basically all of RK shenaningan are keyed to drone specifically

#

So you wont be able to mirror movement or teleport with other RK

rain topaz
#

so

#

im avialable basically whenever

cerulean smelt
#

Okey I think I did it

#

That's such a helpful site wtf

cobalt sonnet
#

boy, that website sucks on mobile

cerulean smelt
#

Would we be using VC?

cobalt sonnet
#

I mean I will

raven socket
cobalt sonnet
#

anyway I put that in? I think?

#

ive got a small window. If nothing's available, oh well, I'll go do something else.

rain topaz
raven socket
#

It'll be fiiiine
Gonna ping myself to remind me of this when I wake up, tho
@raven socket

cobalt sonnet
#

some straight up early birds in chat rn. whatevah, I'm game.

#

rain topaz
#

im not open on the 24th or 25th, cause i got birthday and Christmas stuff to work with

cobalt sonnet
#

oh right lmao Christmas! Just A week Away!

cerulean smelt
#

I'm not quite used to VC but I'll tough it out anyway

cobalt sonnet
#

Can you believe it guys? Woohoo!

cerulean smelt
#

I am so happy with this information!

rain topaz
#

yeah, i do have a poor family member with a birthday on the 24th of december

raven socket
#

Don't want anyone to be uncomfortable

cerulean smelt
#

Nah it'll be aight! New experience for me so I'll put in the mahi and give it a go

cobalt sonnet
#

well shit I guess the rat pack is a go for Early Morning Activities. go team go. rat attack

rain topaz

rain topaz
cerulean smelt
#

cobalt sonnet
#

the rose in question:

rain topaz
#

#

is it a rose because of all the air-freshener used to disguise the sewage smell?

cobalt sonnet

im kinda interested in trying owlbear rodeo

#

seems nice and simplistic

cobalt sonnet
#

I usually use tabletop sim but most people ain't me, I'm content with whatever

rain topaz
#

i dont have foundry, though i suppose i can also do roll20 if need be

cerulean smelt
#

It's very easy to use

cobalt sonnet
#

isn't foundry free on player side, just not GM? or am I thinking of something else?

#

I dunno I've never used it

raven socket
#

It'll be foundry
Free for the players

cerulean smelt
#

Yeah I thought Foundry was free if a link was proivded

rain topaz
#

supplement wise, we allowing all the official stuff, +terk?

cerulean smelt

cobalt sonnet

tabletop sim does everything it does but 3d I've never needed it

rain topaz

#

I'll make some mech art before the session

rain topaz
#

can i weasel legionnaire into that or no go?

cerulean smelt
#

Legionnaire my beloved

cobalt sonnet
#

we should do this raw dogged

raven socket
#

Sure, why not

cobalt sonnet
#

we should prove that the rat kings can handle each other alone

rain topaz
#

WOO

cobalt sonnet
#

need we stand up on a throne of others beneath us? nay. we are rats.

wraith birch
#

What's going on?

raven socket

wraith birch

#

i think i kinda wanna go a defender style

#

make the beefiest rat i can

cobalt sonnet
#

expect me to do something stupid controller focused

#

I mean, we're all gonna be striker controller, tis the life. the question is how much

rain topaz

cobalt sonnet
#

kinda psycho but fuck it we ball

cerulean smelt
#

Fuck yeah

#

Bat King lets go

cobalt sonnet
#

I'll prolly end up as the rather stock Hydrat

rain topaz
#

i think i have decided on a name for my rat

#

"Eraticate The Tyrants In Bloodstained Robes"

cerulean smelt
#

That's so metal

#

I love it

rain topaz
#

the first name idea i had was something with "ratican"

#

ive dubbed the pilot callsign "Nosoi"

#

greek spirit of plague and illness

#

now to figure out the build

#

oooooh

#

ive had an idea

#

perhaps something with mines

cerulean smelt
#

oooooh mine king

rain topaz
#

then i attach a detonator to my sputniks

#

just will need to see how much it would cost to do this

#

can rat kings throw reverse guillotines?

#

no but wait, all at the same target

#

cant get a guillotine wall

#

how does the unraveler interact with target acquired?

#

how does it interact with the sacrificial spear?

#

yeah im starting to really lean towards making the tank of rat kings

cerulean smelt
#

Rat Tank

#

Honestly tempted to try a Blackbeard Rat King

rain topaz
#

does hyperdense armor's half damage extend ot sputniks?

#

like would i be dealing with halved, then halved again damage?

#

cause i think im gonna try and get atleast 3 ips-n licenses

#

casue the core bonuses are just so good for making a tanky thing

#

must resist the urge to grab the blackspot targeting laser

#

already made a rat king build with that

#

mix it up

#

oooh

#

sharanga missiles

#

would the sputniks benefit from being able to target 2 people?

#

honestly

#

if someone wants to synergize

#

ill invest in getting formorian and mule harness

rain topaz
#

i think im going to focus in on creating burst areas

#

i wanna kinda build a like advancing tide i think

#

holy crape

#

the invigorates one could pull off with this team

#

should i go blackspot targeting laser or veil rifle?

#

okay, i have my tentative rat king build

#

ive gone for a sort of advancing-tide style mortering build

#

grabbed the held image so i can be constantly triggering the turret drones

#

plus some stuff to support allies with bolstering, the invigorate from drone commander 3 to mess people up

#

i also grabbed puppet master so i could move every single of the most likely 15 drones on the field at once

#

its an armor commander

#

with a sort of heavy armored rat king

hushed fieldBOT
#

Hold on, I think you're missing an Aux weapon to pair with your Sharangas?

rain topaz
#

the targeting laser is shoulder mounted and the sharanga missiles a big handheld morter thing

rain topaz
#

yep

hushed fieldBOT
#

Yeah. Mount retrofitting gives you a Main/Aux.

rain topaz
#

im using imrpoved armament

#

just a second flex mount

#

the whole build is basically a slow walk towards the enemy as i saturate them with missiles and build up a drone army

hushed fieldBOT
#

Oh. The Sharangas were listed as being on a Retrofitted mount, so I got confused.

rain topaz
#

this bad boy can throw out about 13 drones at max

#

7 sputniks and 6 regular drones

#

actually 14, with 8 sputniks if i pop core power

#

can you tell this guy is a revolutionary

#

have i layered enough rebellion themes onto it

#

bro also has a wooping 7 repair

hushed fieldBOT
#

I barely understand it but I love it.

rain topaz
#

hes kinda a controller, but only so much that if you move towards him, he will start destroying you

#

i truly hope i get to use puppetmaster to move like 30 drones at once

#

if i had more licenses levels/sp i would prob have sprung for an assassin drone, to feed into the bombarding theme

#

but yeah, i think im only gonna equip sputniks with the blackspot

#

cause the most damage the sharanga can do on a sputnik is 1, and the sputnik also doesnt benefit from its 2 targets thing with sputniks either

#

while the targetting laser could deal up to 2 energy damage, and one the sputniks hit things it buffs there next attack

#

and it can apply lock on, further buffing the turret drones

stray thistle
#

Sharingas would do 2 damage, you round up

rain topaz
#

AH

#

thank you good sir

#

though on the plus side, sharanga and blackspot have the same range

#

can you tell i put too much thought into what is technically a joke build

stray thistle
#

Those are the best builds though

rain topaz
#

that ive built the "ERATICATE THE TYRANTS IN BLOODSTAINED ROBES" to play in a game called the rat pack

#

the fun thing is i think the party will actually have to consitencies shared by all

#

we all will be using rat kings, and i think we all will have atleast drone commander 1

rain topaz
#

it costs an hp to put out a drone

cerulean smelt
#

i figured i could cheese it

#

sympathetic shield, cat and mouse

rain topaz
#

ba dum tsh

#

oooooh

cerulean smelt
rain topaz
#

what do you think about the Eraticate

rain topaz
#

yes

cerulean smelt
#

that slaps ngl

#

clutched with the retrofitted mount

#

Javelin rockets are gonna be fun

rain topaz
#

yeah, originally i was thinking of pulling some ssc stuff with a veil rifle and mounringcloak vijaya rockets, and mount retrofitting, but then i realised i could change some stuff up

rain topaz
#

this will sadly be one of my first times playing, so i dont have a ton of experience

rain topaz
cerulean smelt
#

Big fuck-off rockets

#

And ofc pairing that with a sea of drones

#

nowhere to run

rain topaz
#

Yes

#

We are controllers not because we direct you, just because everywhere we dont want you to be is filled with gun-toting roombas

cerulean smelt
#

Release the babies.

rain topaz
#

I truly am so excited to puppet master 34 drones at once

#

And also, drone commander 3's invigorate is gonna be wild

cerulean smelt
#

Oh my god

#

The wave

rain topaz
#

We will surround and then I will zap all of them

cerulean smelt
#

"On today's episode, we'll be turning 34 drones into a thermonuclear warhead!"

rain topaz
#

Also, since yours flies, I cant help but imagine it just laying eggs midair that hatch into drones

cerulean smelt
#

oh lord

#

I planned something more akin to a vampire disintegrating into many, many bats

#

or Malzeno from Monster Hunter

rain topaz
#

I fully intend to just stand in the tide, walking slowly forward with our growing army of drones as you folks pick people off

rain topaz
#

Themeing wise, all of the Eraticate's drones are exactly the same

#

They are all bulk-ish walking turrets

#

With the sharanga more of a big handheld mortar situation

#

I might replace sysop if someone wanted to get bonded with me

#

If I didnt have to walk to an appointment in a few minutes I'd probably be putting together a max ll version of Eraticate

cerulean smelt
#

Oh god that'd be frightening

rain topaz
#

I'm also very proud of the name, I think it strikes a good balance between rat pun and badass name

cerulean smelt
#

May do touch-ups on mine, but I've got plenty of time

rain topaz
#

Yeah

#

We prob wont be out of our mechs will we?

#

No matter what, I will end up building a backstory for my boy

cerulean smelt
#

Nothing more fun than building proper backstories for characters we'll use like once

#

One use chars still matter

rain topaz
#

Yeah

ornate verge
#

I just realized that some of the Terks mechs combine with some of the BDF(Baronic Defense Force) frames horrifyingly well ........

#

The Akinaka and Rat king working together is just........yikes

winter temple

It just got added here like yesterday

@rain topaz @cerulean smelt @raven socket hey gays girls and gamers I fucked up. totally entered the wrong available dates on the sheet . I am not gonna be available here in 12-ish hours like I wrote that I would, I'm still at work during that time. hit me like a truck. my bad.

just shift all my available days one spot to the right. if we can do it Thursday at the same ish time, that would be fine by me

my bad, I'm sorry

#

I had gotten so used to looking at & using my work schedule, and since I work between days (I start shift at 10pm, end at 8am), I had gotten so used to thinking of the next morning as the same day, that it didn't even occur to me

#

Oh wait

#

I'm stupid

#

Nevermind we're fine? Sorry for the ping!

#

boy, I really thought I fucked it up. I guess we're good

rain topaz
#

now we just need nexa to be on the thing t osee where we line up

hushed fieldBOT
#

I might tag along if wanted. But also, I know it's Rat King central, and I don't have a unique Rat King idea.

quartz sail
#

Had an idea for making a small firing squad with dual paracausal weapons. Def not using anything involved to its highest potential, but could be funny. Would probably be more effective with just the one paracausal weapon and more drones, but f-it we ball.

clarification

#

with target acquired, do you make a separate attack roll for each sputnik?

#

and also, are all the sputnik attacks considered to happen simultaneously

#

or could sputniks benefit from a blackspot bonus from another previus sputnik?

#

(also, should i replace sysop with house guard 2?)

#

ive also figured out more about ramese's backstory

cobalt sonnet
rain topaz
#

dope

#

ive built out a backstory for ramese

cobalt sonnet
#

...do we need one??

rain topaz
#
Born on an Armory world, Ramese worked as a sanitation worker, before he discovered that during a routine physical checkup, the Armory had taken some of his DNA and used it to create flash clones of him. After a mysterious Horus affiliated hacker, called OMUS, showed him the evidence, he decided to construct a chassis, with help from OMUS, from old disposal drone parts and various salvaged armory materials. He is now on a quest to find the flash clones of himself, while screwing Harrison Armory over in the process.
rain topaz
#

it is unlikely that any of this comes up in the game, its just both fun and important for me to make

#

his rat king is very bulky

#

which is funny, cause even though i put nothing in evasion, it still has 5 speed

rain topaz
cobalt sonnet
#

not yet I've been at work

#

I'll probably be doing something similar to what I did last time, but with rifles instead of shotguns

rain topaz
#

ah, fair

#

dope

cobalt sonnet
#

besides, I've still got a day ahead of me & I don't have work tomorrow

rain topaz
#

we have a flyer, and a like slow artillry guy so far

cobalt sonnet
#

I can cook a mech & some token art for it in the mean time

#

so. uh. how is the flyer supposed to. work?

#

you wanna be adjacent to as many drones as possible

rain topaz
cobalt sonnet
#

the thing I vibe with is the twenty ferrofluid lances

#

I had considered that option

rain topaz
#

yeah we have a bombarding titan (metaphorically speaking, as its still a rat king), and a lancing flyer

cobalt sonnet
#

flight is a. choice. for this.

rain topaz
#

i can cover moving our drones around en-mass with puppetmaster

cobalt sonnet
#

Ill probably just be generalized control

#

I'm definitely gonna take at least one level in Hydra. probably more for assassin drone

rain topaz
#

and also my blackspot laser should boost everyone

#

yeah, we dont yet have one fully focused on just throwing out as many drones as possible

cobalt sonnet
rain topaz
#

mine can only do 14 with core pop

cobalt sonnet
#

keep in mind in order to spawn one

#

you need to place a normal drone

rain topaz
#

yep

#

i have 6 normal drone throws and 8 sputniks

#

you start with 1 free

cobalt sonnet
#

so how the hell are you spawning 14 normal drones

rain topaz
#

and you get an extra from core

cobalt sonnet
#

oh you mean total

rain topaz
#

yeah

#

in total

i might replace skirmisher with centimane now

cobalt sonnet
#

where's your centimane 2

quartz sail
#

Can't you also in theory recall a drone and re-deploy it for more sputniks?

rain topaz
#

i dont think so?

#

lemme read

cobalt sonnet
#

...maybe? but the biggest cap there is your own actions economy

rain topaz
#

yeah

cobalt sonnet
#

maybe if you have asura you could pull it off

#

but

rain topaz
#

it actually might be possible

cobalt sonnet
#

in order to get real work outta that

covert surge
#

You can. This came up before and i allow it because it obliterate your action economy

rain topaz
#

yeah

cobalt sonnet
#

you'd prolly need to be at least level 9-ish

rain topaz
#

i think ill stick with just throwing out drones

covert surge
#

And its a way to function even after expending almost all drone charges

rain topaz
#

plus, you cant recall turrets and those are my main sputnik generators

cerulean smelt
cobalt sonnet
#

uhhh

rain topaz
#

and i think its just more valuable to keep my sentinals out

cobalt sonnet
#

I don't think they can fly

rain topaz
#

terk, can they fly like with hydra?

covert surge
#

πŸ€”

cobalt sonnet
#

I'm. pretty sure not

rain topaz
#

and it takes an hp to throw a drone out too

cobalt sonnet
#

honestly if you ask me

#

the HP barely matters

covert surge
#

As it is no but i might allow it for next version where if you can fly they can fly too

rain topaz
#

WOO

#

immediate testing

cobalt sonnet
#

I made the mistake of running h6a0s6e0 for my first rat king

#

you do NOT need that much hull

covert surge
#

Shrimply cat and mouse away

cobalt sonnet
#

indeed

rain topaz
#

im running with a decent amount of hull but thats cause i want to play a heavy guy

cobalt sonnet
#

I wasn't playing enough like a discount lich

covert surge
#

pay no attention to the bombard on the horizon

cobalt sonnet
#

bombard these nuts

rain topaz
#

thats why im here

cerulean smelt
#

Bomber? I hardly know her

rain topaz
#

to bombard right back

cerulean smelt
#

so in that case should I say fuck it we ball and treat the entangled drones like they can fly or should I just go with a new build

cobalt sonnet
#

I think you should just go with something new

rain topaz
#

i like the flying

cobalt sonnet
#

yeah bur

#

terk just said it's not allowed?

cerulean smelt
#

Cause I fully thought 'follow your movement' meant they could just come along

cobalt sonnet
#

like. just now?

covert surge
#

Test the flying version, see if anything breaks, if not ill put flying into the next version

rain topaz
#

what is the point of a playtest if not to test play

#

woop

cerulean smelt
#

πŸ’ͺ πŸ’ͺ πŸ’ͺ

cobalt sonnet
#

alright well alright then

rain topaz
#

ashberry, right on the front lines of cutting trash-rat tech

cerulean smelt
#

Uncle Terk coming in clutch

rain topaz
#

our newest innovation, strapping jet engines to the gun-roombas

rain topaz
#

i do think its really cool

cerulean smelt
#

I can imagine aoes can still screw with me regardless of flight

cobalt sonnet
#

I think practically. I should probably be dipping like. saladin or something?

#

but I just. don't. like it?

rain topaz
#

we do still need nexa to put in their available time on the when2meet

cobalt sonnet
#

weren't they the one who set it up

rain topaz
cobalt sonnet
#

I could a sworn they were on there

rain topaz
#

we all have drones, cause its a rat king, but noone is yet fully focused on it

#

i think go something else

#

i got the tank covered

cobalt sonnet
#

if you say so

rain topaz
#

we must test all facets of the rat

quartz sail
rain topaz
#

(play what you want, just think variety would be interesting)

cerulean smelt
#

Accurate asf

rain topaz
#

i hope we get to shoot fascists

#

feels too on brand for the frame to not

cerulean smelt
#

or anthrochauvs

rain topaz
#

im happy with either

#

like, my bro is deffo big rebel type

cerulean smelt
#

Might tweak my build a wee bit to fit the whole vampire aesthetic

rain topaz
#

oooh

cerulean smelt
#

Cause I do wanna go for the whole sympathetic shield + cat and mouse combo

rain topaz
#

yeah

cerulean smelt
#

but I'm not sure if that could work

rain topaz
#

ask terk

#

easy way to know if they interact the way you think they do

#

mmm

#

camus's razor

#

both cat and mouse and camus's razor are 1/round reactions

#

meaning you cant trigger them both

cerulean smelt
#

Crap

#

Aight might need to do some adjusting

rain topaz
#

yeah

cerulean smelt
#

also Im pretty sure sympathetic shield wouldn't have worked either cause it's a hostile attack

#

to trigger cat n mouse

rain topaz
#

lemme check

#

yeah, i dont think it works

#

it might be nice to try and coordinate to fill our spots

#

cause my plan is to be the marching tide of drones

cerulean smelt
#

Singularity Motivator is looking kinda juicy rn..

rain topaz
#

i can move mine with puppetmaster, rat kings entanglement, and sheperd

#

oooh

#

yeah, you thinking of really focusing in on being targetted by and then avoid damage?

#

just jumping around

#

cause i can cover getting buffs on attacks and the like

#

seems like eisen may be going for a controller/drone spam style build

I gotta draw this mech it's so neat

After this, I reckon we should do a oneshot with only Arthurs

#

My favourite part of Lancer is when the pilot said "It's Arthurin' time!" and Edged all over the place

rain topaz
#

i was gonna say that would leave people very vulnerable, but that actually means you could cover each other your off-turns

cerulean smelt
#

knights of the roundtable

rain topaz
cerulean smelt
#

Sometime soon

#

hopefully

rain topaz
#

im debating changing my talents

cerulean smelt
#

If my motivation doesn't flunk out on me

rain topaz
#

cause the thing is is that shadowcloak and skirmisher soft cover both disable when you force a save or make a hostile action

#

and my rat king is basically only doing those 2 things

#

actually

#

deploying drones doesnt do that i dont think

#

and it could cover during stablizings

#

i do fully intend to use my puppetmaster and drone commander to fry people with the combined teams drones

cerulean smelt
#

a lil protection during drone prep

#

nuclear blast lmfao

rain topaz
#

okay, im keeping shadowcloaked

#

but im unsure about skirmisher

#

cause i dont think i need skirm 2 atleast

#

cause i have enough movement at base

#

the way im flavoring my cat and mouse stuff is through my things have a sorta mist/smoke thing that just makes its hard for sensors to tell where exactly i am

quartz sail
#

Do a Fate/Stay Night party. HA Arthur, IC Acastus, MOI Medea, and IC Heracles.

rain topaz
#

i call dibs on Acastus

cerulean smelt
#

not even a second

#

i get it tho

#

would love do go Arthur for that lmao

rain topaz
#

i love a boy who pulls out 15 swords in 1 minute

#

also, ive realised, turret drones dont trigger through lock on consumes

#

what thing am i think of that does that?

#

(its not a talent)

cerulean smelt
#

I genuinely wanna play in a campaign where it's just a bunch of knight mechs 😭

#

uhmm

#

doesn't ring a bell to me idk

rain topaz
#

hm

#

does anyone wanna become bonded?

#

i have an open talent point

#

i also have house gaurd 2 so the accuracy i think can be gotten easyier

cerulean smelt
#

i'm a little too all over the place for bonded

rain topaz
#

true

#

lemme find something then

#

oooh

#

i could take combined arms 1, but i dont thing i wanna be engaged enough to use it

#

maybe exemplar

#

maybe leader

cerulean smelt
#

leader could possibly be a nice supporting buff

rain topaz
#

ooh, stormbringer could be good aswell

cerulean smelt
#

Oooh yes!

#

Love stormbringer!

rain topaz
#

yeah, that hooks into my locking on and my sharanga

cerulean smelt
#

Launchers my beloved ❀️

#

Also I want to apologize in advance, but this oneshot will be my first time as an actual player

rain topaz
#

honestly, me aswell

cerulean smelt
#

Cause I've been DMing Lancer since the start of the year

#

Now I get the opportunity to play and I'm so hype

rain topaz
#

its very exciting

#

im kinda in love with the vibes of the Eraticate

#

its kinda inspired by this image a bit

cerulean smelt
#

ooh?

rain topaz
#

yeah

#

the Eraticate is a large lumbering armor thing

covert surge
#

ok i thought that was a clown nose for a second when i glanced at my phone

rain topaz
#

XD

covert surge
#

honk honk 🀑

rain topaz
#

that and kindat he morter titans from titan fall 2

#

atleast the sharanga is

#

when i make a character i generally like thinking about both the mechanics and how they are represented in the fiction

#

like the targetting laser is shoulder mounted, the drone are manufactuer and popped out of the back

#

they all have kinda chunky legs, cause moving the drones around is a big thing i wanted to do

quartz sail
#

Also, because I thought of it after my Fate/Stay Night suggestion, you can also do a Fate/Apocrypha party with RKF Mordred, IC Atalanta, IPS-N Vlad, and MO&S Frankenstein.

rain topaz
#

atalanta's cool

#

i love its take on a paradox being not "oh god, temporal stuff, we need to be so carfeul not to make a paradox", but instead "dear god, we just started researching this thing and now we have all the plans, and if we dont spend the next 70 years making this we will rip apart spacetime, im going to punch who ever is going to have done this in the taint so many times when i find out"

rain topaz
#

was bored, so i made a LL12 version of NOSOI

i have a session thursday (evening) and friday (evening) so doing something thursday (morning) is fine by me

#

i usually fall asleep not long after the window ends

rain topaz
#

then we just need ash

#

the session would be planned to be from 3-6 o clock correct?

#

and are we using owlbear rodeo?

#

ello?

raven socket
#

oop

#

hi

raven socket
#

We were gonna be using foundry

ornate verge
#

I think he's going to do that and crackshot in conjunction with the anansi license to get the hyperfauna sniper rifle and the suppressor so he can fire from hidden and not lose it.

rain topaz
#

ah okay

rain topaz
#

sorta lightweight, but it does have a witchdice extension which hooks into lancer

#

and it does hexes good

raven socket
#

Eh, prefer foundry

#

Now, about bloodhound's question..

#

Anyone have any thoughts? I haven't really messed with the frame yet

rain topaz
#

is foundry free?

raven socket
#

For the GM, no

rain topaz
#

ok

raven socket
#

But I already own it, so

rain topaz
#

how do i access the player version?

raven socket
#

I send you a link at game time

rain topaz
#

ah ok

#

dope

covert surge
#

demoltionist because lol mines

raven socket
rain topaz
#

the best way to hide is to make sure there's no one even remotely close enough to find you, and then keep it that way

#

which sounds a lot like, "the most powerful condition you can inflict on your opponents is dead", but thats not what i meant

#

right up there with "reactor stress is a resource"

covert surge
#

Spotter or Orator also works if you are completely mine focused

#

prospector with infiltrator lets you dynamic entry into a group of enemy, garuntee the prone from creating the entrance, trigger infiltrator 3 to throw a flashbang and skeedadle back to relative safety

rain topaz
#

the reason terk makes mechs is because if he was allowed to devote all his creative energy to making core lancer builds, we would have a build that can kill Ra

indigo gulch
#

I mean, we all know the best way to take down an Eidolon/Deimosian is a bunch of Pegasus frames with Paracasual Modded weapons whilst popping Core

ornate verge
#

Okay I will absolutely pass that on to the lad. They're gonna be running an extraction sitrep with an Artillery Bombardment secondary objective. The team so far is the IPS-N stealthy lad, a Duskwing, a shotel when things get loud/they need a distraction, and either an anansi, deaths head, or a Pharos for long range fire support( the last one hasn't decided yet)

open ginkgo
#

Anansi would be my choice cause the smoking spider needs more love

cerulean smelt
ornate verge
open ginkgo
#

Oh nice!

wraith birch
#

Wait, question for the Arthur's Clarent. Does it have +1 accuracy by default or is that tag there because of the +1 accuracy it gets on the second attack?

covert surge
#

Be default

wraith birch
#

Alright.

covert surge
#

Second attack goes up to +2 acc because of it

wraith birch
#

Gotcha.

#

Can't wait for the Kishka btw.

#

and the Atlas alt frame.

covert surge
#

Incase the fact that this is a weapon designed to fish for executioner 2 wasnt clear :P

hushed fieldBOT
#

Is speed 8 Rat King too fast?

rain topaz
#

No such thing

rain topaz
#

just to confirm, the game starts at 3 pm today, correct?

cosmic steppe
#

Does using IFF Spoof on someone count as "locking on" for the purposes of some talents like Spotter 3:
"As a quick action when you Lock On, you may nominate..."

#

It probably wouldn't count for Spotter 2 which says "take the lock on quick action", but Spotter 3 seems a little ambiguous

covert surge
#

counts for spotter 3, same as blackspot

#

if we ever dont have invigorate up

#

im losing

rain topaz
#

wait, your heat is 0?

cobalt sonnet
#

its supposed to be 8?

#

no idea why it says that

rain topaz
#

weird but dope

#

we got the team

#

what playstyle are you going for?

cobalt sonnet
#

ill probably be keeping near the backlines with all but sentinels

#

plinking with 1 burn sputnik drones

#

& spamming out with asura

#

i can spam 8 drones in 1 turn. i cant do that again, but i can do it.

rain topaz
#

dope

#

i can cover moving all the drones forward if youd like to focus on just throwing them out

cobalt sonnet
#

ill do what i can

#

i aint got puppetmaster

rain topaz
#

dope

#

thats why i grabbed it

#

im going for kinda a general/commander vibe honestly

#

leading the troops forward with a guiding hand

#

but it seems like we are doing good compostions wise

#

we have someone in the back, someone in the middle, and someone presumably in the front

cobalt sonnet
#

working on the token art rn

#

ill be done before the session

#

when is that?

rain topaz
#

i think around 3 pm today

#

i should prob find a token to represent my drones honestly

cobalt sonnet
#

right i probably should just

#

check that in my tz

cerulean smelt
#

im hype asf

rain topaz
#

i need a drone hex

#

im just gonna use the alt-atlas art for my frame token

#

is there somewhere i can get just like a default turret hex token?

cerulean smelt
#

oh fuck we need custom tokens??

rain topaz
#

i dont think so

#

i just think we need any tokens

#

ping nexa and ask

#

hey @cobalt sonnet can i borrow one of your ^ for my drone art?

rain topaz
#

still have yet to decide if im doing a voice for my guy

#

which vc will we be using?

cobalt sonnet
#

go nuts

#

ill be making my own

rain topaz
#

dope

#

i sadly cannot draw, much to my displeasure

#

so i thank you good sir

cobalt sonnet
#

i cant either

#

that was taken from the rat king token art

rain topaz
#

yeah

#

still more than what i am capable of

#

but dope, i got my tokens

#

mm

cobalt sonnet
#

an...atlas?

rain topaz
#

the drone is wrong

#

it just fits the color scheme more

cobalt sonnet
#

what about for your turret drones?

#

oh

#

i see

#

the atlas is

rain topaz
#

all my drones look the same

cobalt sonnet
#

the sputnik

#

yeah ok

#

oh

#

thats gonna be difficult to tell em apart at a glance, but i aint your boss

rain topaz
#

no

#

the atlast is the rat king, cause i dont have a rat king hex handy, and the atlas alt fits the vibes of the character decently well

#

i might actually add an indicator of what type of drone each is

#

cause while fluff wise all of NOSOI's drones look the same, the mechanical functions should be useful to remember

#

i also need to fix the white background

cobalt sonnet
#

i never use 2d vtts i forgot ill have to add the hex bg

#

i also forget were using hex

rain topaz
#

i can give you a hex template

cobalt sonnet
#

<-- square player

#

i have em

rain topaz
#

k

rain topaz
#

😁

cobalt sonnet
#

you dont get it

#

im seven levels above all of you

rain topaz
#

no your 7 squares ahead of me

#

whereas i am zooming around the bestagons like a cool man

cobalt sonnet
#

no. above.

covert surge
#

Not one but two crabs

rain topaz
#

i mean, eventually they will all be crabs

cobalt sonnet
#

there were indeed

#

two crabs

cobalt sonnet
#

this was a session i ran

cerulean smelt
#

woahh

#

that looks sick

cobalt sonnet
#

3d, fully animated background map, multiple layers, and moving terrain

rain topaz
#

damn

cerulean smelt
#

bro

#

that's fire

rain topaz
#

fancy smanshy

cobalt sonnet
#

i have seen the light

#

i have Ascended

rain topaz
cobalt sonnet
#

remarkable

rain topaz
#

my incredible work

#

in another world i have custom art for these and its amazing

cobalt sonnet
#

theres no time i aint making any more

rain topaz
#

no i mean i would have made some custom ones if i could

#

but i sadly lack that capability

#

i wonder what sitrep we will be doing

#

i feel like with how many times terk has mentioned them, theres gonna be a bombard

cobalt sonnet
#

we'll burn that brifge when we get to it

rain topaz
#

no we cant burn the bridge

#

we have too many drones we need to cross it

cobalt sonnet
#

bridgelayer suldan

rain topaz
#

we are pulling a full 6 year olds being guided across the road situation

#

except we have given all the 6 year olds varius firearms

#

are you just gonna be redeploying your sentinals to get your sputniks out?

cerulean smelt
#

mama duck with ducklings on a freeway

rain topaz
#

also be careful, if you have more than 8 sputniks out you can instantly stress yourself with 1 target aquired

#

atleast im pretty sure

cobalt sonnet
#

wrong

#

heat goes to drones as energy damage

rain topaz
#

@covert surge, dont you take the heat your sputniks take?

cobalt sonnet
#

this has been confirmed before

#

drones dont have a heat cap

rain topaz
#

ah ok

cobalt sonnet
#

its the same as if a witch used tear don

#

things without a heat cap take energy equal to heat given

#

this is why invigorate is so necessary for me

rain topaz
#

i could have sworn you toke their heat the same way they pull from your limited pool

cobalt sonnet
#

nada

rain topaz
#

ah, ok

#

dope

cobalt sonnet
#

we hittem em with tha One Burn

rain topaz
#

i can also do it

#

eventually we will fry anything that gets too close

covert surge
#

Gave the drone a hairspray can and a lighter to deal 1 burn

rain topaz
#

i do love the controller approach of just, be everywhere you dont want the enemy to be

rain topaz
#

wait

#

do you need line of sight to target someone with target aquired?

cobalt sonnet
#

presumably

#

it doesnt say

#

but

#

rules as intended

#

presumably

rain topaz
#

yeah it doesn't specify

#

cause i thought for a second you could only fire sputniks within sensors, but nope

#

cause i was trying to figure out if you can just fully hang back and just fire your sputniks as i march them forward

#

we are really going to be abusing flash combat data

cobalt sonnet
#

sputniks dont benefit from that

rain topaz
#

no but we do

#

i geuss specifically i will be benefitting from it i suppose

#

though i am giving the sputniks accuracy with my blackspot

#

@cerulean smelt whats your build again?

#

also we will truly be dealing so many instances of 3 kinetic damage

cerulean smelt
#

Lemme grab it

rain topaz
#

dope

#

i keep forgetting that lancer isnt like dnd and you round up when it comes to halving
