IC Thread: http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/the-peninsular-wasteland-fallout-rp-ic.50738/ Character Sheets & Party Inventory: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MviMljAKChml1M5UlWWGynic7wr4_Jl5DFvKxPEZ79g/edit?usp=sharing Current Goals: http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/fallout-rp-planning-ooc-thread.50441/page-74#post-995805 Game System (as of now): Spoiler: SPECIAL You get 28 Starting points just as in Fallout 4 you start with every Special at least on 1, how you distribute them to a total of 28 is up to you. Strength Each point of Strength increases melee damage by 1 Perception Each point of Perception increases ranged damage by 1. Endurance Each point of Endurance reduces all damage by 1 Each point of Endurance grants +10 HP Charisma When persuading others or bartering with them, (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12, may get bonuses/minus on GM discretion depending on environment as well as Perks and intended may affect this; It's harder to persuade someone who hates you, for example.) Intelligence Intelligence has no straight out advantage, but gives access to many useful perks (Crafting Gun mods, medic, hacker, etc.) Agility Each point increases Sneakiness by 1 (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12, may get bonuses/minus on GM discretion depending on environment) Each point increases Max. Action Points by 0.3 (important for VATS / Crit. Hits) Luck Each point increases better special loot drop chance by 1 (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12) Each point increases critical hit chance by 1 (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12) Perks may take a bit longer to come up with, but I am probably gonna steal a good chunk from Fallout 4 in all honesty because I found them mostly well done ^^ Perk List & Information: Spoiler: Perks The number in the following perk list means which level of that SPECIAL stat you need in order to choose it. If you have 5 Strength you can take ANY of those perks, you don't need to get them in an order. I will allow each of you to start with ONE perk in order to make your character.... More special. To fit with whatever background you are going for. Along with that I want to remind you: You cannot increase the SPECIAL in level ups.

SPECIAL works for you like this: Strength Each point of Strength increases your damage by 3 ('bite' does a regular damage of 5 x 3, every 4 strength you get an additional attack, thus with Strength on 8 you cause 29x5 (145) damage) Might be very good at the start, but late-game will be.... Interesting. Perception Each point of Perception increases spotting stealthy enemies by 1 (Every turn 1d12 check against stealth enemies if they are around). Endurance Each point of Endurance reduces all damage by 3 Each point of Endurance grants +15 HP Charisma Less likely to be attacked by NPCs / Be primary target. Easier to persuade other Dogs (Especially female ones) to stand down, or 'join the pack' Every 3 charisma you can take another animal in your pack upon successful persuasion. (Those Animals can die, they won't just become 'unconscious') Intelligence You can do more tricks and understand humans easier Agility Each point increases Sneakiness by 1 (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12, may get bonuses/minus on GM discretion depending on environment) Each point increases Action Points by 10 (important for VATS / Crit. Hits) Luck Each point increases better special loot drop chance by 1 (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12) Each point increases critical hit chance by 1 (roll equal or lower of stat on 1d12) Char Sheet Template: Spoiler: Char Sheet Name: Age: (Not older as 40, not younger than 21) Gender: Job in Vault/Wasteland: Partner: (if applicable. Husband/Wife | Only relevant if another player is the Husband/Wife) Other Family: (if applicable. Sister/Brother/Children | Only relevant if another player is Sister/Brother/Child) SPECIAL (Total of 28, all Stats start on 1): Strength Perception Endurance Charisma Intelligence Agility Luck Start Perk: (Choose one from the Perk List) Fallout RP idea, see here - also as said, this will be in South Florida Area. Most likely you will start in a vault Downtown West Palm Beach, probably the storyline will get you in both directions south and north. In south being Miami, north being Orlando (Disney World) & Kennedy Space Center. With plenty of swampland to go around by, too! Factions such as joining Brotherhood of Steel will be a thing, but these matters will be party-based. Since I don't wanna split you lot up :X Also all (initial) players will be Vault Dwellers, everyone who later joins in can be .... Whatever. It will depend also a bit on party demeanor. For example they may hate Brotherhood of Steel or joined with Enclave or so, so obviously a new player cannot be BoS then XD I just wanna ask you lot regards combat system. Since that one is going to be tricky. Basically what I want is constant values to reduce rolling and chances and all that. I wanted to try that overall anyway versus RNG. So there is more clarity of what the heck is going to happen, making combat more predictable. Also I wanted to know whether you want permadeath or an 'unconscious' function, like in Fallout 4 where companions can't die. So basically as long as 1 member of the party is alive, the others will be fine, too. So what I think of for example is: Every player starts with 100HP (incl. Endurance being on 1) Every point of Endurance adds +10 HP and reduces incoming damage by 1 Every point of Strength adds +1 damage to melee weapons Every point of Perception adds +1 damage to ranged weapons Armor will reduce incoming damage by a constant value. I.E. if Leather armor has 2 Damage resistance and 1 energy resistance it means it will reduce 2 damage from regular weapons (melee & solid) but will only reduce 1 damage from energy weapons a 10mm Pistol without upgrades may cause 10 base damage each hit, which you can fire 3 times in a turn. In melee however you can only fire 1 time. (To balance melee vs. ranged) a baseball bat may cause 15 base damage each hit, which you can slam 3 times in a turn. But obviously only works in melee. I won't take reloading into consideration, but ammo. Since it's still a survival game. Ammo will be also taken out of the party inventory. Party inventory will be basically unlimited. Disclaimer: Preliminary numbers just to give you a feel so you can give me feedback of what you think. For info on what Vault you escape / how this is my idea: - Vault 041 - Vault's experiment was to have food only for 5 years in shape of animals, them being unable to reproduce - Thus leaving only humans left to eat - Overseer puts rule into effect that everyone who reaches the age of 40 gets butchered so that the other humans have food to eat - Reproduction starts relatively soon, but is not forced until someone is no parent and age of 30 in order to ensure food production continues - Players may be couples if they choose to - Nobody leaves vault because no clearance signal which reports that it's safe to go outside - After two hundred years (so it's like 2290, short after Fallout 4 I believe as FO4 starts 2287) the Vault is being raided by Raiders. Everyone will die, except the players who will repel the raiders, kill them and then have no other choice but go out. If this idea is not to your liking, I am open to counter suggestions.

I like this Idea, Would we then also start out the Cannibal perk or not consider it very evil to eat other humans? For the death Function, I somewhat want unconscious. Will any of us be able to choose a previous profession in the vault that effects what are character has and is skilled in and if so what will our choices be for there previous profession? Example If I were to one to be a vault security guard and someone else a engineer, The Engineer would have better skills with repairing and I with combat Correct? If so what Profession does the vault have besides the basics? Are then any Doctors and scientists in the vault someone can pick to be that would effect there skills in the beginning.
Seems interesting I don't have any complaints other than the cannibalism is strange to me but other than that I think it could be fun. All of this makes sense to me and I think it should be done.
Also Will we have Charisma and Luck Specials as well? Agility could be Give 1+ to the possibility of Dodging a attack. Luck could give a person better rolls with Finding gear and other items. Charisma would be with dealing with other Factions and people.
Cannibalism sounds Vault Tech enough fer me, but I think I could think of a less cannibalistic experiment they could enforce. I'll do four; Experiment 1; Infestation. Insects are released after a preset duration of time and the food stores are significantly reduced. Vault tech's goal, to see how people would adapt to this possible development. Impact; Vault population takes to eating said pests to survive. (I vote locusts) Some resort to sacrificing limbs to feed starving members, loss of limbs implies great sacrifice for the whole and is seen with respect. Vault dwellers are prepared to eat just about anything. Inspired by Snowpiercer Experiment 2; Flooding. Sections of the vault become filled with water. Housing and critical systems are lost. Impact; Vault dwellers become adept swimmers and have taken to expanding into other areas. I.e. digging out from the existing vault without risking exposure. (Leads to inevitable discovery by raiders) Vault dwellers take on aquatic traits and increased lunge capacity. Inspired by Waterworld Experiment 3; Tiger. A live Siberian tiger was released after the vault door was sealed. Death and confusion ensued. To this day, they never found the tiger... Impact: A terrible fear of large felines and a strong desire to be prepared to fight off said tiger if it ever appears again. Some believe it was only a myth, made to scare the little dwellers. Then again, those scratch marks on the walls didn't make themselves. Inspired by Life of Pi Experiment 4; Placebo Effect. A highly advanced medically oriented vault. Each person was given a "special" injection that was to help keep them healthy. In actuality, these injections were sugar water. The medical equipment's real purpose was to monitor the effects of a whole vault that imagined it was healthier. Impact: A noticeably low rate of illness among the residence. Those who did become sick were simply written off as "unlucky" and to this day new dwellers at a popper age are given the "special injection". There are those who question this and have taken to researching what's actually in them. Leading to harsh penalties by the overseer. Inspired by King of the Hill [edited] Then again... those "special" injections could be a test form for a new strain of FEV? eh? Eh? Maybe not super mutant levels, but over a few generations, who knows what could be produced. But that would lead to sterility among dwellers so maybe not. Inspired by Pandorum Or we could just be a Lucky Control Group. One of the few not rigged to fail vaults, and instead enjoyed a boring but peaceful end of the world.
I like the cannibalism idea because it's so Vault-Tec and I have wanted to play a cannibal for a long time. But I can see how some people don't like the concept for reasons. Any of DaKaptin's suggestions sound good to me as alternatives, though. EDIT: Yes, I vote for the unconsciousness as long as we're not all dead route.
Yay for cannibals! Cause lets face it. At least one Vault would have had to resort to it. Why not make it part of the Vault-Tec Experiment? And as for the perma-death/unconscious question, I say unconscious (as long as those still standing emote running round and reviving those knocked out).
I've got to go to work but I would be interested in a Fallout RP. I'll say some more once I come back in anywhere between 3-8 hours. =)
