Alternate Core Documents

[Rabbs]

I got board and whipped up an expanded traits list. Most are taken from Fo: Tactics and the various New Vegas DLCs. Enjoy .

A few minor common-sense rules changes:

The perk Cyberpony now has "availability of cybernetics" as a pre-requisite.

The Enclave Battle Tail now requires Enclave Power Armor. (The cost for Enclave Battle Tail has been removed since you cannot buy it separately.)

Corrected an oops on Design Level 1 of the Cyberpony Infiltrator Suite in the Perk document so it now matches what it says here on the thread.

Shotgun bean bag rounds now to Stun damage (rather than no damage) but the target gets to apply half armor DT as well as full Stun DT.

The +1d10 bonus griffins get to unarmed combat for their claws is now specifically only when they are fighting with their bare claws.

[Fridge]

Question about the shotgun bean bags: Does the perk "Shotgun Surgeon" mitigate Stun DT or just Armor DT?

[Kkat]

Personally, I'd say just Armor DT.

I've added a perk called Earth Pony Magic (Artisan) to the EP perks section. This is primarily a flavor perk, representing the most widely known manifestation of subtle Earth Pony magic. Other forms of Earth Pony magic, with applications in fields such as farming, certainly exist.

Wait, when did Reaper Pony's Gallop become something other than a S.A.T.S. perk?

Ack. Looks like I mixed up Rampage's Wrath with Reaper Pony's Gallop. Lemme fix that.

My question is still valid. In the Perk Revisions doc, Reaper Pony's Gallop is no longer S.A.T.S.-related at all, and I am confused.
<snip>
I figure it'd need to be adjusted somehow for gameplay purposes, but shouldn't it still be S.A.T.S.-related in some form or fashion?

Either this never got changed back, or it got fixed then un-fixed.

New shamanism rules for Zebra's

Needs play testing and to have a few spirits filled out, buffalo shamanism is next after flavor's and functions of all spirits are fully built.

Shamanism

A significant change has been made to crafting talismans and spirit prisons. These changes to the rules help standardize systems between Shamanism and Modifying Equipment as well as set a time period needed for such crafting. Likewise, the gem cost for bartering with spirits has been made linear.

I'm already doing some playtesting with the zebra shamanism document above and will likely be integrating more elements of that system into the core ruleset. (However, I will be putting off full adoption of that rules set until after both playtesting and the development of corresponding buffalo shamanism options.)

Modifying Equipment has had a few slight corrections, particularly regarding bonuses/penalties to the Mechanics skill checks.

[LuckyLeaf]

Isn't the necessity of two different skills for Zebra Shamanism a bit demanding? In my game I have required just Barter, explaining it as if it is more about convincing the spirit and attending demands than the actual craftszebraship. Even if it is permanent, finding the spirits and the necessary items already requires quite a bit of effort, and it's something that depend a lot on opportunity, so the player may not have two skills prepared for it. Also, Survival already has its usefulness in Alchemy, and by requiring two skills, it creates a bit of pidgeonholing.

Looking into the spirits in particular, I have a suggestion for Emptiness, since it's one of the main spirits that appeared on my campaign so far. An advanced effect for armors could diminish the enemies' chance to hit the wearer, as if his presence was "emptified", so to speak.

[Kkat]

Considering how vastly powerful Shamanism can be, it needs to be demanding.

Spirits of Emptiness are based on the idea of discorded Twilight Sparkle. They are the opposite of Spirits of Magic (and thus Friendship). What they are able to do should follow the general themes of loneliness, emotional hollowness and magical hindrance.

I went and added even more traits . This time going more for things that represent a characters background. Tell me what you think because these are still very WIP.
