[QUOTE=Glent;49299305]Have you discussed this with your DM?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, he put on a little post-session thing with my character and one of the VIP people we need to escort in the crypt. They had a chat and that was about it. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that you don't get a lot of chances to talk your way out of things in an elven crypt full of undead, but still.
[QUOTE=gufu;49302198]I thought Hunter is for dealing with mortals, though?[/QUOTE]
no hunter is for dealing with mortals who do things
sounds like they want one for mortals who don't do things
[QUOTE=gufu;49302198]I thought Hunter is for dealing with mortals, though?[/QUOTE]
oWoD Hunters aren't mortals. They're all people who got god-power shoved into them by an angel, which is why a lot of stuff refers to them as 'The Imbued'. Mortal hunters are stuff like Hunters Hunted for Vampire, Project Twilight for Werewolf, or Witch-Hunters for everything else(I think). Outside of those, though, there isn't really any pure 'mortal' game line for oWoD.
nWoD/CoD Hunters are mortals who have dedicated themselves to hunting down and killing 'monsters'(whether or not they're actually supernatural or not; Slashers are a thing, yo). Think Sam and Dean, and all the other hunters, from Supernatural. Mortals, as the core book with no supernatural template added, is usually a group of people investigating something strange/supernatural, a la Mulder and Scully from X-Files.
Presumably, the line you quoted is referring to oWoD getting a mortal investigator-style thing, like nWoD's core book gives you.

oWoD already has like 20 varieties of that, it's just not a main line.
[QUOTE=gufu;49302198]I thought Hunter is for dealing with mortals, though?[/QUOTE]
Not quite. In Old World of Darkness, Hunters were regular people who channeled the power of GOD! They pretty much had Angels on both shoulders and they were pretty much Superheroes.
In New World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness, Hunters are 9/5 working Joe/Jane's who know that someone working in the Garage aren't what they appear. Cut forward a few weeks, four of them are dead and only Jane is left and now her Aunt is acting a bit funny over the phone.
Hunter is its own Splatbook, for Mortals dealing with Supernatural foes of some description. They might clash with Vampires, Fae-folk or Slashers. Mortals is just the corebook, you might investigate the supernatural but you're never really meant to fight it, because eventually then you become a Hunter.

Except for the guys who are part of a covenant or even better, a conspiracy
They're more like Colonial Marines but not in space and monsters instead of aliens, or satanists who kill monsters, or people who don't really care about hunting monsters but attach monster bits onto themselves for fun and profit.
In other words, weirdos.
Any tips for setting up a train heist? Oddly specific, but it's a bit difficult to plan. My players are attempting to rob the train of a Gauss Cannon purpose-built to kill dragons. They have to stop the train before it reaches its destination, a military garrison. My main issue is that I want it to be more than "just kill everybody" as far as how it needs to be planned. The party is creative; I'm just not sure how to help that creativity along without making the possible solutions super obvious.

Only the conductor is capable of controlling the train, if he's killed the train will continue on its route to the garrison. Derailing the train might damage the Gauss Cannon.
Well, if it's military tech, obviously that shit is going to be behind a dozen biometric locks and a keycard and probably a retinal scanner. Not to mention rigged to self-destruct if there's a chance it will be captured. And the instant that train gets attacked they're going to scramble gunships to go try and take out the attackers before they can steal it
Assuming this is Shadowrun, because that's what it sounds like

This reminds me of a typo that derailed a game I was in, where a briefcase was fitted with a rectal scanner.
don't you love it when you purposefully make a character that's meant to be impulsive, inexperienced, and impatient,
and then realize that all the other players are just inherently impulsive, inexperienced, and impatient
now i gotta change my character to a kind old wise man.
being the voice of reason blows

Be the voice of reason, but have your reason lead to HORRIBLE conclusions.

My characters are always either the most rational party members, or the least rational party members.
There is no middle ground.
Tried to knock someone unconscious, so I hit him in the head with my wooden sword.
Once your health bar is full with bashing damage, any more bashing damage gets upgraded to lethal damage.
I accidentally did enough damage to fill his health bar over three times.

i must send out another call to arms for my dark heresy 2 game
play times are 2pm EST/7pm GMT on sundays
the party is gearing up for the final point in the current adventure so please hit me up with a PM or over steam if you're interested
So, I am about to play my first game of D&D. Most of the party members seem like really chill dudes.
Until I hear the fat autistic dude yelling at his mother in the group chat. He fills every fucking stereotype imaginable.
Lisp, late twenties, lives with parents.
Its like i'm gonna be playing with Chris chan or some shit.
He's completely obsessed with having uber high numbers on everything.
Does these obnoxious fucking dice rolls over mic and exclaims, oh an 18! and shit. Basically he's everything I hate incarnate
Like first thing he wanted since we get 1k starting gold was an elephant.
Cause high carry cap. I tried saying why don't we get a horse with a cart or something but I dunno.
Talks about his ability to kill the shit out of us, how his character might be lawful or chaotic evil. So he might just kill an orphanage cause its funny and just being an edgy fucking retard in general.
He is most likely playing a ranger.
Whats the best way for me to fuck with him?
I chose to start out as an arcane trickster.
