[Furry(?) Reindeer(?)]

Well I think I still have a few questions, and a few problems to work out with this submission, but, want to get this posted at least.

Engineering Measurement and Calculations Kit, Waterproof	A series of mathematical and measuring tools, in two parts. Comprises a waterproof digital device, containing three laser rangefinders for measuring at distance, digital touch display, in full colour, reprogrammable keypad with multiple presets, inertial reference system for own position, velocity, and acceleration. Capable of performing calculations on internal measured values, and input variables or equations, with additional storage for workspace. As an emergency backup, kit also contains slide rule, caliper, and square all-in-one for manual calculations.
Ruggedized Equipment Lifting Rig, INTGRTD	Hydraulic exoskeleton for handling and use of equipment beyond physical capabilities of organic operators. Bespoke system has been integrated into flesh and augmentations of operator Serena Arelin. Medical procedures [REDACTED - INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE] Contains up to 50% repurposed or recycled components from [REDACTED] sources. Only use [REDACTED] to recharge hydraulic lines if depleted. In event of leak, do not [REDACTED]
Multi-Function Rotary Tool, Diving	Multi-function rotary and oscillating tool. Attachments, housing, ventilation, controls all rated for underwater use at [REDACTED] pressure. Includes bits for cutting, drilling, grinding, sanding.
All-Material Energy Cutter, Ruggedized	1.33 tonne [REDACTED] cutter. Directs [REDACTED] beams for precise cutting of material up to 23m in distance. Reduced effectiveness beyond recommended range. Rated for cutting of any non-flammable material. Flammable materials may instantly ignite if cut. Rated to cut depth of 5cm of [REDACTED] steel in 1 second in point-configuration. Maximum beam width - 10cm. Beam patterns: Point, Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal Left, Diagonal Right, Cross Vertical, Cross Diagonal. WARNING - NOT RATED FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION GREATER THAN 30 SECONDS. OPERATING BEYOND RATED TIME MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO DEVICE, INJURY TO OPERATOR, OR EXPLOSION DUE TO OVERHEATING.

Subject Serena Arelin Augmentations: Equipment lifting rig has been integrated into subject body, 90% of arms and 100% of legs replaced with equipment for lifting rig. Spinal column replaced with lifting rig support structure. Mobility has not been negatively impacted, however increased mass has offset potential gains from new equipment. Precision of movements greatly improved. Subject existing augmentations included [REDACTED] which have proven useful for maintaining subject discipline, and provided existing basis for integration of rig control systems into subject body. Subject organs have been modified where necessary to support lifting rig integration. Artificial replacement for subject flesh and fur patterns have been placed over replaced legs and arms for concealment of equipment, and environmental protection.
These augmentations provide greatly increased physical strength and endurance, primarily to allow use of equipment beyond subject's natural physical capabilities, and operation in extreme environments, though does also confer the expected additional benefits which come with improved strength and endurance.

Subject Species: Anthro Leopard
Subject Appearance: (To be typed out later, I've already done this much effort and want to get this posted today.)

Asset 07, Serena Arelin, is cleared for entry. Welcome aboard!

Due to two more pending assets, party size has been widened to a maximum of 10 assets! This means there is one more unregistered slot!

ACTION RESUMES TOMORROW.

(So all of my progress on the update post got deleted, which was like 70% of the way done... Gonna be another day on the update now I fear.)

Please make any combat system inquiries here!

Awaiting 1-2 more Asset Applications to intro next batch of Assets...

Recently, I have received lots of inquires on the intricacies of Dodge and Defense stats. Therefore, I will explain them better!

Dodge is enhanced mobility, with the range in which you are outright able to evade damage being bolstered.

Example: EVIL ROBOT ROLLS 12, You roll 10.

Normally, you would take the 12 damage, however, if you had 3 dodge, you technically have a +3 on most evasion rolls (will be informed if an attack bypasses dodge!)

So, assuming you have 3 dodge, if EVIL ROBOT ROLLS 12, and you roll 10, you are able to evade damage as a whole. Even if it is a tie between your dodge boosted roll, and the attack, you still evade damage.

Defense is a post-defending roll flat damage reduction. If EVIL ROBOT ROLLS 12, and you roll 10, you would normally take 12 damage.

However, if you had 3 defense, you would instead take 9 damage.

BOTH OF THESE STATS APPLY TO EVERY DEFENSIVE ROLL UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE (BYPASSING ATTACKS)

I hope this as served as good clarification! Do not be afraid to ask if you have further questions!

(hello! it doesn't seem like you're attacked?)

Oh yeah, sorry I misread as if SDD-4 has two targets, and that Ghoul was one. My thanks to you for helping me!

If Sussy managed to hit Baka with a 3, but Baka has 4 defense, will Sussy's attack do nothing, or will it do minimum damage (1)?

 

[Furry(?) Reindeer(?)]

If Sussy managed to hit Baka with a 3, but Baka has 4 defense, will Sussy's attack do nothing, or will it do minimum damage (1)?

With enough defense, yes, you can entirely mitigate damage.

Spoiler: Alter

NAME: ALTER
NICKNAME(S) (OPTIONAL): EXALT, T-4 ALT188 (registration number)
GENDER: Male
APPEARANCE: A slim built augmented mercenary. Augmentation includes a face plate covering partial cranial reconstruction with slits for his partially modified eyes, lightweight, panel adorned metal gauntlets from both forearms down, lightweight metal frame legs from the knee down with thicker frames on the shin areas. Not far behind his faceplate are two large concave indents surrounded with scarred tissue and wired components diving in and out of the surrounding flesh. He is clad in a modified single pauldron Machinae Cultores uniform, swapping in any clunkier bits with lightweight counterparts or just removing them entirely. [Illustration pending]
SIZE / WEIGHT: 170 cm / 73.94 kg
TRADE (STRIKE, SALVAGE, OR SUPPORT): STRIKE
EQUIPMENT (INCLUDES WEAPONS): Integrated taser, padded sneaking boots, combat knife, built in steel gauntlets, short range terrain scanner
ABILTIES: Exceptional stealth, enhanced focus, proficient in grappling and brawling, night vision and echolocation.
BACKSTORY (OPTIONAL): Originally a Union Aspected native on the planet Rubicon II, ALTER was forcefully enlisted in to the Machinae Cultores, undergoing rigorous augmentation and cranial modification. They crafted him into a weapon. Under Assurance's command, ALTER participated in many operations and missions, unaware and unable to protest. Eventually during an earlier operation on a planet not far [relatively speaking] from SS-12B, a limbic inhibitor was damaged during combat, slowly allowing ALTER to to regain his individuality, despite not remembering most of where he came from originally. Eventually once he was lucid enough, he defected from the Machinae Cultores, vowing revenge against Assurance and those who kept him captive.

Alter falls within acceptable parameters... Machinae Cultores. That is a name I have not heard in a while. Please await the pending intro post.

In the effort to maintain roleplay cohesion and progression, updates will happen every few days, regardless of total response count, earlier if almost / all players have responded. Major events will still await all / most players having responded, but plain progression continues otherwise.

(Updates when my semester ends! (Within the next two days or so!))
