I'm, uh, starting to think none of us should use the dice roller here. Except aceraptor; you can do all our rolls for us. :D

I'll keep @LightLan 's rolls because Missy having a decent sync with Cassiel makes sense considering their interactions. Except for that ace's 86. I'll use that too.

I've also rearranged the sync list, so everyone take a look and let me know if you like it this way better. Also if I need to change the green, because it's really dark on my screen.
 
I must test this as well, because this is hilarious.

...You know, of course. Just... of course.

Yeah, after looking at the rolls this thread has gotten, I've resolved not to use dice for any quests I ever run. Instead, I'm going to use a deck of cards, without replacement. So if the RNG gods screw the players over a lot, they'll just be saving up luck for later. Plus I can more carefully plan what sort of distribution of results I want.

I'm still thinking how to make that idea work smoothly with different distributions that I want to use the same luck pool, though.

Ooh, that's a clever idea. Maybe for the different distributions, some "rolls" require multiple cards?
 
At this point I legit wonder if we should change the dice-rolling system a bit and do a "best out of four" roll for everything that needs a touch of randomness. Because this is getting silly.

So I got to thinking about Kayleigh's device a while ago and I have to ask:

@Silently Watches can a device be used as a fabricator? and if so can it do so while folded up?

The general idea I'm running with here is to give her a device that lets her to the FPS survival set of tropes. Give her device fabrication capabilities, a large storage area, and a method of energy generation not directly drawn from the user. That way all she really needs to get to work with it is for it to have a particular design in it's database and the resources to fab something up. Effectively the only thing that it would draw on her linker core for would be to run the basics like the ability to fold out into the devices it would need and could later build itself up with the right designs.

This would give her the ability to fab and store specialized ammo, a variety of weapons and tools in storage that she can change for various loadouts and even do the Tanya thing and enchant bullets with extra effects even if the gun she is using isn't nominally designed for magic.

Ehhh. Sounds like that's starting to overlap with Gadgeteer in some respects.

It does in a lot of them, and honestly I would think it would be a great idea for nominal Gadgeteers but in this sense it's to feed into a whole "survivalist" theme for her. Given the right blueprints and resources she can produce her own ammo and weapons without needing to take up Tim or another Gadgeteer type's time beyond the initial design phase.

It also serves as a pretty nice basis for a survival pack type device that doesn't even necessarily need it's user to be a mage.

That sounds like a great basis for a crossover with Subnautica, or at a larger scale, RTS games.

In this quest, refluffing a Guardian Beast of the Gear as a function of a specialized Device might work? But trying to get the benefits of a Beast of the Gear without paying for it isn't likely to fly.

Gonna have to say no.

:confused: She'll be able to create her own ammo and store them in her Device already. Potentially the same for producing other tools. She just needs to use specific tools to do so. No reason she can't store the tools in her Device and pull them out when she needs them.

I think we can safely close this oh-so-contentious vote. :rolleyes:

This is a really cool idea!

Apparently ctrl-f doesn't find anything within the dice roll

Merry Christmas. Hey Silently, has Alexandria actually thought about the implication of magic for PRT and society at large? Does she realize that there's potentially dozens of Triumvirate level mages out there in the PRT (if the PRT has 100,000 personnel in total then theoretically there should be 100 AAA rated mages among them, with 4,900 other mages of varying strength)?

AAA is basically Nanoha level if they get the right training and spells. Of course, they'd need years to get to their full extent of power. And they don't have nearly the amount of infrastructure nor institutional knowledge to actually bring out their potential. But still.

And has she told the various directors about the existence of magic?
