PnP Group Unlucky 13. Aka: Hoofington Sucks
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 2:06 am
War. War never changes.
What does change is who's fighting, and what is worth fighting for.
Almost two-hundred years ago, the ponies and the zebras were fighting. What for? The reasons changed as the war dragged on. First it was over resources. Then it was for the nations themselves. Finally, it came to be about the threat of extinction, and the end of days. Then it was over
The worst came to pass, and the Zebras and ponies ensured each other's mututal destruction. Everyone lost.
But all was not lost, because life is persistent. Ponies hid in Stables and shelters and fled to places where the spellfire and radiation hadn't reached.
Which begs the question of why -anyone- would ever come to Hoofington
Before the war, Hoofington was a shining example of the Ponies' advances. A beacon of technological, scientific and magical progress. Now, it's the Equestrian Wasteland's biggest death trap
Still, people live there. The city core is sealed off, but the region was almost like a nation unto itself, with various suburbs and outlying settlements built around it
One such settlement was Flankfurt. What is was before the bombs fell, who can say? Now, it's simply known as Flank. One of the most wretched hives Hoofington has to offer, and yet still people come there.
This story is about some of those people. Who are they? What are they fighting for? I guess we'll find out...

Perk Listing (Constant WIP, let me know if something is missing): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... Pb0E#gid=0
House Rules on Common Hazards:
Enervation: -10 to All Skills while inside an Enervation Field (this manifests as a headache that serves as the only warning of the field's existence). -1 End Penalty for each 30 minutes spent in Enervation Field. If Endurance is dropped below 3, you lose consciousness. If End is reduced to 0, character is liquified and dies (puddles aren't very lively). Enervation also disrupts most forms of magic, exacerbates wounds, and diminishes healing potions. Some Enervation Fields are stronger than normal, so watch out.
Taint: Hazardous Magical Byproduct: Do not Touch, Breathe or Stare At! Contact with taint yields a Save or Die situation; End check with modifier based on volume of exposure. Survival of taint exposure provides a small chance to gain a beneficial mutation, and a large chance of a grotesque, entirely unhelpful lump of cancer. Even looking at this stuff is hazardous to your health.
Radiation: Sickness increases at every 200 Rads of accumulated exposure (as per the video games). Rads cannot be flushed from your system except with RadAway (Or a rare spell). Any character who accumulates 600 or more Rads will be subject to mutations that may or may not be benign. Accumulation of 1000 Rads results in Death, with a small chance of ghoulification. Rad accumulation increases with proximity and potency of the radiation source.
Sleep Deprivation, Starvation and Dehydration: You need to eat and drink at least twice a day. As well, at least five hours (out of 16 per day) of sleep is required to avoid deprivation. The first sequential day in which you miss out on one of these you will be allowed to make an endurance check to avoid the penalties, and will start suffering on the following day. If you fail the endurance check, you will be immediately subjected to the first level of penalties (As per the games) for that particular deficiency. Each subsequent day you fail to eat, drink or sleep more, you will be advanced one stage of penalties, up until the 5th day, which results in death for any of these three conditions.
Combat Injuries: Bullets, buckshot and other conventional firearm projectiles require surgical removal, the difficulty being related to the caliber of the shot and the type of ammunition used. Magical Energy weapons will leave burns that do not dissipate upon consumption of healing potions. Explosives, high caliber firearms, higher power magical energy weapons, and weapons that feature 'Bonus Limb Damage', have a chance to completely dismember a limb if it is crippled by an attack made with that weapon, rolled by the player's luck or agility, whichever is higher. A Head crippled in this manner counts as decapitated and results in immediate death by the Chunky Salsa Rule. As well, any single attack that deals more than 67% (2/3's) of a player's total hit points in one attack to either the head or torso also results in immediate death by the Chunky Salsa Rule.
Weapon Condition: Weapons will always have a Condition set as a multiple of 10%, from 0-100. A Weapon's value and damage (before application of DT) are equal to the base/rolled value multiplied by condition percentage. A Critical Failure of a weapon will always result in damage to the weapon of 10% Condition. A Natural 100 Critical Failure may produce further degradation. As well, disarm attempts and attacks made directly against weapons will also result in damage to a weapon's condition, depending upon the outcome of the rolls. Weapon Repair Kits can be crafted with a mechanics score of 50 or greater from 2 Scrap Metal, 1 Scrap Electronics, 1 Wrench, 1 Wonderglue and 1 Duct Tape (as in FoNV). Each kit will restore a flat 20% condition to a weapon. However, no weapon may be repaired above 80% total condition by a repair kit, and kits can only be used on the same weapon a maximum of 5 times (Duct Tape and a wrench will only get you so far). A weapon repaired by cannibalization of a weapon of the same type will regain condition equal to half the current condition of the consumed weapon (with a minimum of 10% restored in the case of weapons at 20% condition or less). This can be done indefinitely so long as a weapon of the same type is available to consume.
