The problem would be that you'd die a slow, agonizing death and probably reanimate.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the resonant magic in the world (the remains of the aforementioned god's failed attempt at entering the material world) reanimates EVERY CORPSE with an even somewhat intact brain via evil magic.

It's explicitly stated in the rulebook that airship crews fling their dead overboard to avoid having a zombie infestation.
[QUOTE=Alsojames;47345269]Something like that. We're going over what the end effect would be.
Does it just burn you out to the point where your bodily functions cease to work? Or does something...spookier remain?[/QUOTE]
do a kind of mana-burned revenant that's left behind, make it so that mages are inherently feared due to what they could become, not what they are
That's what I've suggested, but the principal writing team is asleep right now :v:
So, the Astropath Telepathica decided to buy himself an Ogryn in my Rogue Trader game.
And the first thing he does?
Order the rest of the ships Astropaths to knit him this.

So we've got a giant troll-looking thing with a ridiculously senile, ridiculously bad-rolling, ridiculously spell-happy psyker chilling out on the front of this Ogryn.
Also the Rogue Trader overloaded a ship's warpdrive and crashed it into an angry C'Tan shard, but that's another story.
Should've gone with a master blaster look.

why would you ever put yourself on the front of your meat shield

Sadly no.
Maybe in a future expansion? :v:

It shields them from friendly fire
Which is substantially more likely to kill you than enemy fire after the third or fourth time you nearly fuck over the party due to perils
Apparently, the party tried to take on the dragon lord last week, resulting in the deaths of our barbarian (after 7 attempts) and our ranger.
Party set-up tonight: Me (rolled a Tiefling Bard), our ranger-now-Goliath-Fighter, our Human Fighter, a Warlock, a Gnome Wizard and a Dwarf Barbarian.
We re-entered the cave and went in search of adventure. We swiftly found it in the form of giant mosquitoes. We quickly did away with them (but not before taking my second crit in just as many sessions), partially by squishing them against the rock walls. After passing through a curtain of leather strips (and dodging a poison trap), we found what appeared to be a cave fridge with bits of meat hanging on chains. We decided to rub some of it against the curtain (don't worry, 'meat curtain' jokes were made) and took it with us to the drake hatchery. After spotting a few pairs of eyes in the dark, our fighter saw his cue to shoot them, causing them to back off.
I snuck up on a kobold (26 stealth roll, woo) and tried to stab him. Twice. And failed both attempts. Some fighting happened, we killed some of the kobolds, one ran off. Since the staircase ahead of us looked rather ominous, we took a short rest and one of the kobolds came back. The dragon lord wanted a 1-on-1 duel. You know, much like the one that resulted in 2/3 of the party getting wiped out last time? After some persuading, our fighter and the DL were allowed to bring 4 guards each (the warlock deciding to go invisible for this one). Through the power of deception and literal wording, our fighter had the plan of forcing us to attack him, thereby preventing him from doing the same. This, sadly, didn't work and we got drawn into combat with the DL. The last thing we did to the DL was knock his ass out, causing some of his men to tactically relocate.
Finished my first D&D session tonight. Our Goliath in response to "what should we do with the Dragon Eggs?": "Well it makes a good omelette"
And our DM had a brilliant out-of-context quote:
"How much meat do you rub on the curtain"
Was fun, definitely gonna do this more often. :v:
This was the same session as Woopsalot, I was the Dwarf Barbarian. Our Goliath is probably gonna use me as a throwing weapon soon.
You forgot 'roll for PTSD'.
So.
Fredrich Von Leudorf, Tengu Musket Master died last session when he slid underneath a giant spider after the bard cast grease on it and the wizard set the spider on fire.
In an attempt to gain grit, I decided to try something ballsy, no guts no glory right?
Gun cocked, spider inbetween where I need to be and where I am, I slide underneath it and come to a complete halt under the flaming spider, now covered in grease. (Rolled a 1 on my acrobatics check. Fucking. Rip.) Thinking quickly, I attempt to shoot forward and slide myself back out to safety. (DC 15 for an attack roll, rolled a 14 total). The flashpan on my musket lit the grease around me on fire, which quickly spread to my powder horn, blowing the legs out from under the spider and dealt 36 Damage to me and the spider, instantly killing me and the spider.
The party bard freaks the fuck out and has to be dragged away from the entire hive of spiders that was approaching us, exploded remains of tengu and spider covering him.
So I rolled another gunslinger! This time a more desperado kind of deal. Richard Boone, Undine Pistolero. Able to change his skin (water?) color to match a human's skintone, Richard Boone has drifted from town to town trying to track down his partner's murderer after finding him dead in a robbery in his home town.
Hopefully he lasts longer than Fredrich, and I'll really miss the schtick of "Pretend Rich Snob Tengu" but I look forward to being more in the fray.

God damn it, I've been reading up on the dragon types in DnD, and after reading about how brass dragons love to just constantly talk to everyone I for some reason pictured a dragon talking like Foghorn Leghorn. I have to use that some day.
What do you guys think about the comrade system in Only War? Me and my lads are considering modifying it and I'd like to see if anyone else has done similar or thinks it's fine as it is.

I like to imagine them being kind of like Spyro; talky, snarky smartass types. Though he's a purple-gold combo, so I don't think he himself would fit in. :v:
Smas and I have effectively broken Mekton completely and utterly. If you make a Mek with enough cost multiplier returns, you can make the Mek have a /negative/ cost multiplier. So you would actually be turning a profit making Meks, somehow.
If you make a Mek with a Hot, Undercharged, Exposed Combustion power plant, give it Manual cockpit controls and make it Weight Inefficient, you would have a total cost multiplier of -1.03x.
You make 0.03x the cost of your Mek in profit at no cost to you.
It's so shitty, it profitable. And that's why you should be careful with additive multipliers.
Whelp, thanks to lots of shitty dice, level 3 mooks mowed down my group's level 10 Mutants and Mastermind's heroes.
On the plus side, time to enact plan: Shadowrun!

Text documents!
Seriously, most useful thing in the world
Notecards. The back of single-side-printed character sheets.
