The fact that he was 7 feet tall pretty much made it obvious :P

Dorin Thorha · 02-17-2010, 08:56 AM

At least 7 feet. The actual height I currently have marked on my char sheet is 7'5".

Where does Mendiblis bid for the ship? He's not rich, but I'm assuming that he got a big bonus when he left the navy and is going to put it into a ship of his own.

The clerk who gave him the documents is collecting bids. The auction will top out at 12-15 million. If you don't have the whole amount you'll need to get your loan in place before making the bid (which is why the banker from Bellerophon Mutual is hanging around).

Dorin Thorha · 02-17-2010, 09:30 AM

Ok, so basically I've got 35 points spent on my down payment, and -25 points in Debt/Duty to cover the rest. So if I arrange a deal with the bank, I'll have a somewhat larger Debt and my Duty will mostly invole paperwork proper protocols and such, but if I go with underground I'll have a bit lower debt and my Duty will involve occasional calls for "favors" and have worse consequences for default?

Am I understanding this right? Also, if he takes underground financing then how will that work in a roleplay sense? Maybe he's heard about this group while in the military, and is working for them from the get-go, or maybe one of the other chars has connections there and will suggest it?

What is our starting wealth? I thought is was 20,000 for a TL 8 or high I want to determine how much money my character has left after he bought his equipment. And if I have enough to by more?

Dorin Thorha · 02-17-2010, 09:55 AM

TL9 is $30,000, I belive.

Yes. More specifically:
Ship Owner (60 pts) + Debt/Duty (-25 pts) = Ship Owner w/ Mortgage (35 pts)

See other thread.

Yep. Of which $6000 can go for adventuring gear.

Dorin Thorha · 02-17-2010, 10:19 AM

Ok. Though in Captain Mendiblis's case, he has some Signature Gear.

A couple more questions as I put the finishing touches on my sheet:

Does Callous conflict with Sense of Duty? IE, he doesn't care about other people, but he does have principles of his own? I can replace it with something else if I have to, but Callous makes sense with the concept.

What kind of gear should my character have, besides weapons and clothes? I just put "basic personal stuff" and "basic captain's gear".
