Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

you don't even necessarily need to move any bio-e around. but the machine does use close combat, which means you can't always be confident you'll avoid it completely. just be prepared for when it happens... have some decent melee capability; paired weapons or WP reverse stroke and appropriate WP wi...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

I'm still talking to the GM about it. For them moment, we are kind of figuring that the barding, while powerful and cheap, shouldn't screw anything up too badly, and if nothing else, the House could always request it back for more combat oriented packs. You think I'll need more close combat ability ...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

With standard gorehounds costing a million a piece and the most expensive barding at 28,000, I have been kind of working under the impression that while they might not be readily available at level one or maybe 2, by levels 3 or 4, packmasters should be able to fairly easily requisition them. Accord...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

Have a look at Reinforced Knuckles or Body Area....page 96 And in Ritter 59 page 21.....Skill Packages.....as all your gorehounds have a few identical enhancements. Will help you stretch your Bio-E a bit more I'm using 2 of the kill packages, explosive ordinance sniffer and recon/scout, though, I'm...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

So here is what I'm looking at, after taking your advice and getting a feel for some of the other players and their characters, I decided to focus primarily of scouting and recon, using the gorehounds to harry and harrass more than trying to directly cause large amounts of damage. The character sees...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

That's a great list, some something very much worth me going through. Have you found it's better to specialize each 'hound, or keep things fairly generalized between them with the occasional one shot enhancement? My game will hit level seven by the time I'll be introducing my character. The GM has b...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

I never really thought about the challenges Maulers present to hiding. I haven't used them yet, as I just got my copy of I am Legion. It wasn't until rereading their entry just now that I realized they have the drive to attack without command. I was under the mistaken impression it was only after co...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

I agree that level 5 is about the time I would expect the story requirements to be reasonably met to gain a Mauler or a Samaritan as well. And I think gaining the second not until level 7 or 8, once you have had the time to demonstrate that you can effectively use and control one of the more special...

Re: Gorehound Conversion Costs?

I had recognized most of that. I guess I was just assuming that there was a mechanical cost for the transition measured in bio-e points. The in-game costs are high, but I thought I was missing something mechanically.

Gorehound Conversion Costs?

I am assuming I'm overlooking it, but can someone point out the conversion costs for the new Mauler and Samaritan gorehound types from the I am Legion sourcebook? I don't see them listed.

Thank you

Re: A question about Tentacles

Thank you, and glad to be here. Hopefully I'll be able to lend the community a hand. Thanks for the correction and the enhancements. I've been reading through all the posts on here, but I've definitely missed a few. I'm currently writing on a set of characters for a game I want to run. Speaking of t...

A question about Tentacles

First of all, hello everyone. I've been a fan of Splicers ever since I stumbled upon it, but only found these forums a few weeks ago. After reading through everything, I wanted to join this great community and lend my own support. I'm a fiction writer when not otherwise working, and thought maybe I ...
