The BrikWars Forums

How this works is I will post 'encounters'. These shall be, as the name suggests, an encounter between one or more heroes and one or more factions. One encounter shall be run at a time, and will follow standard Brikwars battle rules. The encounters shall end when all members left on field are of the same faction/alignment. This means that all other participants must have died, fled or joined the winning faction. To make this clear, fleeing and changing sides are options.

Between encounters, heroes will have opportunities to upgrade stats (the usual: skill, movement and armor) or abilities. The abilities are as follows:
- Champion:
I. One heroic feat per encounter
II. Two heroic feats per encounter
III. One heroic feat per turn
- Command:
I. Gain control of the squad the hero is in, redshirting.
II. Gain control of D3 units in parent faction plus the squad the hero is in, redshirting.
III. Gain control of parent faction (while hero is present), redshirting
- Piloting:
I. Driving vehicle and firing vehicle weapons takes one action each
II. Driving vehicle and firing vehicle weapons takes one action
III. Driving vehicle and firing vehicle weapons for free
- Strong:
I. Can use weapons of +1", provided no movement
II. Can use weapons of +1"
III. Can use weapons of +2"
- Stealth:
I. Can move while hidden at 1/3 speed, and pickpockets on D3 (1/2 D6, only 6 gives critical success)
II. Can move while hidden at 1/2 speed, and pickpockets on D6
III. Can move while hidden at full speed, and pickpockets on D12
- Medik:
I. Can make revive rolls on D3 (1/2 D6, only 6 gives critical success)
II. Can make revive rolls on D6
III. Can make revive rolls on D12
- Supernatural:
I. One supernatural die per turn
II. Two supernatural die per turn
III. Three supernatural die per turn

As well as upgrading abilities, heroes will also have the chance to loot bodies, fix broken equipment, and steal stuff from other characters.
If you have the opportunity to steal, pick something you want to steal from another character/characters. To steal that object, I will determine the necessary roll to make on a D6 (usually 4+). If it is equipment being used by that character, a (usually) 4+ will be needed on a pickpocket roll. Unstealthy characters cannot pickpocket. If the object is owned by multiple characters (eg. a vehicle), you will need to make a steal roll for each owner. A successful roll means you gain ownership of that object, with the label of 'stolen'. An unsuccessful roll means the owning character (and possibly friends) will be hostile to you in the next encounter you participate in. If a character notices the object you are using is stolen, they will possibly become hostile to you. By fencing an object (customizing, defacing, changing paint job, etc) the object will lose it's 'stolen' status and you will be free to use it unimpeded.

If it's all a bit complicated, don't worry, I will walk you through it.

Terrorkhan: Surviving would be good. You don't have the parts to blow the Fusion Core yet, so maybe keep it for another occasion.
Assyrians: That sucker blew your ship. Also, you might be able to get a decent reward for the return of the Fusion Core.
M-Throne: The Empire is researching alternate energy sources, and that fusion core fits the bill. Try to retrieve it, and ice any hostiles on the way.
'Bravo', '#1', 'Sly Blue', 'Parts': That Fusion Core looks like your ticket off-planet. See if you can get your hands on it - it'd fetch a good price.

Forgive the dodgy photoshop, I was trying something different.

Everyone: Might be a good idea to split. Also, the Fusion Core could be a good grab.
