Topic: Shadows over Bogenhafen RPG (out of character thread)

[rufus sparkfire]

Wow Fandir! I'm impressed!

Any idea how much all that will cost? You could use the price list PDF you found as a guide.

[Fandir Nightshade]

I will look the price list up and make a complete billing list.
(have to search it somewhere in this thread I think right before we spied into the mansion).

Oh dear lord how many spelling mistakes I made....Mortus isn´t in the whine business...I hope.



-cortesan earns 11 gp a month so I guess giving her 5 gp should be sufficient to make her play along
-Clothes 200 gp for silk nobles dress, 60 gp for each well made wool and linnen travelling clothes(2)
-300 gp for duel pistols
-20 gp for 50 shots, powder and all the equipment to properly clean and load the gun
- golden ring without gem 30 gp
- silver ring with cheap gem 20 gp
- silver ring with cheap gem 20 gp
-silver chain with sigil of sigmar 40 gp
- 12 gp good sturdy boots
- 20 gp 4 flasks of good perfume
- 14 gp Mace/hammer(i doubled the price to make it a fancy hand weapon)

total:
681 gold pieces


copied the items list into my character sheet if someone else might want to go on shopping spree.

[Finlay]

I wonder if max takes a % chance to not get chlamydia!

[rufus sparkfire]

That sounds about right price-wise, Fandir.

Max might buy a chain shirt or something... he was rich anyway so won't be too excited about the money.

I wonder if max takes a % chance to not get chlamydia!

There might even be rules for that... 

[Fandir Nightshade]

I think we can round it up to 700 and be done with it....if it is ok with you I would add the items to my character sheet and subtract the gold.

Hmmm maybe Greta should have a roll if she gets it from Klaus then too?

[Finlay]

5 gp for a night equates to 150 gp a month, a courtesan only earns 11 a month, so 5 gp for one night is probably enough to buy quite a clean one!

courtesans seem quite cheap/not earn very much. I always imagined courtesans as sort of medieval geisha style people, not hitch your skirts up in a back alley for a few pennies people!

[rufus sparkfire]

700 is fine. Go ahead and add the items.

I think we'll try to avoid issues like sexually transmitted diseases in this fantasy roleplaying game!

courtesans seem quite cheap/not earn very much. I always imagined courtesans as sort of medieval geisha style people, not hitch your skirts up in a back alley for a few pennies people!

I think they'd have to earn more than 11 a month... or they couldn't afford to eat!

Don't pay too much attention to that price list. It's probably as daft as the rulebook prices. I might check how much that stuff costs in the rulebook, actually.

[Fandir Nightshade]

I think the list is messed up in some places, the cost of the service of a courtesan is higher, but the monthly gain is rather low, on the other hand I think 5gp is a lot of money. isn´t it like 5000 copper and the service of a cheap prostitute is only 6 copper.

[rufus sparkfire]

the service of a cheap prostitute is only 6 copper.

A pint of beer is 9! So no way is that right.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Well some prices are really low and some others strangely high, ...perhaps the guy just hated prostitutes. Finlay figure out what Julian would like to buy....imperial great cannon? full suit of plate mail or a mithral chain shirt?

[rufus sparkfire]

imperial great cannon? full suit of plate mail or a mithral chain shirt?

Veto on all those!

And there's no such thing as mithral or mithril or whatever.

[Fandir Nightshade]

But if he chooses to be a gunner....why can´t we have a siege cannon to deal with Croco demons?

 

[rufus sparkfire]

The WFRP rulebook only has 15th century style bombards! No great cannon.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Ok....I am set now lets wait on the others....

*drumming his fingers......curious if thinks with father albrecht and the watch captain work out...and what the others will do of course.*

[Finlay]

Have you read “from hell” rufus? I think really crappy prostitutes who were basically tramps and just got boned in allies might well have been cheaper than beer.

I think I might want to buy armour. I cant decide on the careers:

The idea of a commander of cannon batteries with 13 bs makes me laugh.

What does specialist weapon do, increase your bs of 10 if using them? So then my bs could be 43 with a handgun… still not great.

Is it 100 exp for each new skill to learn? If so that would mean it would take me ages to advance past being a tunnel fighter again.

What do bombs misfiring do? If it’s area of effect surely I don’t need to be as accurate?

I don’t really feel like tunnel fighter fits with Julian, but I suppose it could quite easily. I imagine all dwarves to be fairly robust fighters. strike might blow, +1s and +1 attack make him quite badass.

But I think using bombs makes sense for the mining, and I quite want a handgun.

Alchemists.. making explosions and stuff. Might be fun? Argh!




I’m quite up for dealing with the thieves guild. Is Heinrich?

[rufus sparkfire]

Hmmm, maybe.

Specialist weapon just means you can actually use the weapon in question! Otherwise you get a massive penalty if you try. So it wouldn't make you a better shot.

Marksmanship gives an extra bonus for specialist weapons, if you learn that.

Cannons don't use BS to fire, and the gunner just directs people anyway! It's based off your Ld score.

Yes, it's 100 EXP per skill.

Not sure about the bomb rules (will check). They are S6 though!

[Cannonofdoom]

I’m quite up for dealing with the thieves guild. Is Heinrich?

Of course!

I'd rather go in and deal with them ourselves instead of simply reporting them to the watch, though.

[Finlay]

That’s what I meant. AXING TIME. It would be amusing if we got overconfident, rolled poorly and 5 thugs killed us. Perhaps we should bring max.



learning marksmanship is the spend 100 exp, do and int test, maybe waste 100 exp, right?

Yep. I can teach you marksmanship!

[rufus sparkfire]

Not sure I want to do the thieves thing if it means some players doing nothing (boring for them). It's fine if you all want to do it though.

Right. Heinrich can teach you. I might give you a bonus to the Int test because he's so good at shooting!

[Finlay]

That feels like cheating just so I get to use handguns!


Did I see somewhere dwarven handguns give you +10 to hit?


Is everyone happy that either gunner or tunnel fighter is reasonably in character?

lets all do the thieves then.

[Fandir Nightshade]

I wouldn´t mind having no screen time for Klaus during the thieves guild bust as he is busy running around the city anyway.

So if Julian, Heinrich, Mortus and Max want to go ahead and make a mini adventure out of it feel free to go ahead.....only thing if MAx dies Klaus will be unhappy.


I think Julian at the end of his career as a rough Merc captain would be awesome, and well you have to make an int check so I think it is no cheating but very hard to learn non career skills.

[rufus sparkfire]

Did I see somewhere dwarven handguns give you +10 to hit?

It's not cheating, it's in the rules!

Dwarf handguns don't exist in WFRP, but converting them from the warhammer ones they would give +10 BS. You won't find one in Bogenhafen though... big cities only.

Tunnel fighter would make sense after all the sewer crawling...

I wouldn´t mind having no screen time for Klaus during the thieves guild bust as he is busy running around the city anyway.

But you (Fandir) wouldn't get to do anything for days! Unless everyone is very quick.

[Fandir Nightshade]

I wouldn´t mind as I am very active most of the time and you could still add "fluff" once in a while when you feel like it how things turn out with Father Albrecht and the Captain of the guard...also I could read up on what you guys do, I think Klaus wouldn´t go down in the sewers right now...enough heroism and as said it would be as stupid if the others would have to wait on Klaus. I say go ahead mini adventure of the destruction of the thieves den.


Are duel pistols in any way different from normal pistols other than being more fancy?

[rufus sparkfire]

I suppose. If you are happy with that.

Not sure about duelling pistols. I'll check the bonus article from one of the books. But I will probably make it up anyway.

Gunpowder weapons actually suck tremendously as written, yet the book talks about them as though they will break all the adventures! I don't understand it.

Pistols are meant to be S3. Lame.
