Modding [Houserule]
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2020 9:23 am
Prior to gamestart but after character approval, characters my attempt to install a number of mods equal to their Intellect or Mechanics skill (whichever is higher). This is so that Day 1 doesn't become bogged down in modding rolls, and to reflect that your characters have been using and caring for their gear prior to this.
-------------
When modding your equipment, we will be using these streamlined rules to make things run more smoothly for you the players and for the GMs.
On a successful roll...
- Two or less Threats convert to strain taken.
- Three Threats increase the cost of modding by 10 credits.
- Advantages decrease the cost of modding by 10 credits per Advantage, or you may alternatively choose to regain Strain.
- One Triumph allows you to install the mod free of cost.
- Two or more Triumphs allows for reconstructive genius, and the item's Hard Point increases by 1. This may only be applied once per item.
On a failed roll...
- Advantages allows you to recover the cost of materials, by 20 per Advantage.
- Threats become strain taken.
- Triumph means you have learned a valuable lesson and you may upgrade your next attempt at installing that same mod, or alternatively you recover all the costs of the materials.
As a note, in the future, failing to install a mod doesn't mean you cannot attempt to install it again in the future. The costs of material is still used on a failed roll (with possibility for more costs or recouping costs as noted above), and costs must be paid again for each attempt to install the mod.
