Character XP and Advancement - Chapter 3

[Vardaen]

One thing I think might be worth mentioning Trog, is your contacts may make it possible for people to pick up a rare item or two they might otherwise fail.

For example, Xanthia just tried to get a bolt pistol, but with a 17 Inquiry and a Challenge rating of +0 she failed really really badly.

And of course Rego has a crap load of cash! And what does he need that the emperor doesn't already provide (beside better armor and mono edge on that sword!)

[Trogdor]

I don't want to abuse my contact. But if V is willing to let me use it to get a few things for my fellow acolytes, I'm more than willing.

Also, as it turns out, if I'm to get the things I want, I'll need another 50 or so gelt. How do we go about selling things. I'll have a few things I'd be willing to sell (like old armor, weapons, etc.) That might get me what I need.

[Vardaen]

You guys can sell your items along the way home at various outposts and backwater locations that need higher tech stuff for normal book value. Ammo you can only sell in full blocks, meaning full clips. Extra onesy twoesy bullets are just lost in the trade or taxed, etc.

I'm willing to let you try to find items for others on a 1 item per fellow acolyte, that means a total of 5 items, shouldn't be too much.

[Trogdor]

Okay guys, let me know what you want. My contact can drop the availability of things by two levels, and is an expert in Inquiry.

[Vardaen]

That makes it like a 60 to get rare items instead of say 17 like Xanthia trying on her own.

I'll go through my xp this weekend and get it set. I'll be seeling off weapons and consolidating. Armor may be a problem, though. With what Solaria got for money, she may not be getting much more then. 390 doestn't go that far for anything...

I may have to go into the bowels of the Hive and "confiscate" some stuff from gangers that don't need it anymore...

[Trogdor]

Yea, I hadn't quite realized how generous I was being with Lt. Reginald when I gave him an autopistol and a shotgun. (135 gelt worth of generous, for those counting at home!)

[Vardaen]

Solaria should seek money from Rego -- MadVlat are you alive on these boards? Need some input from the cash cow.

[jigglypuff69]

I know!?!?! That's why I kept the extra stub revolver to sell. Especially since Smoot didn't need it!

390 is going to be tough. I'll work it though, just number crunching. Maybe Jericus' contact can help with armor...

[Brennor]

Trog, if you need 50 gelt for something, I can provide that for hooking me up with a Bolt Pistol and ammo for it!

Since I have to choose between Bolt Pistol or Mesh Armor, going with the Bolt Pistol, since I've already got flak covering all body locations. Rest of my expenditures are all small potatoes (~50 or less each).
