![]() When someone ascends, the location where it happens is enchanted by leftover magick power, and becomes a Claim of the Clergy. There’s only one ascended Avatar for each Archetype, and the actual process of ascension is a cosmic level objective, fighting for recognition from the universe that you resemble the archetype more closely than the incumbent. The Invisible Clergy are the top tier Avatars who embody the Archetypes, beings of Godlike power. We’ll go over some locations that have supernatural powers. This the last post for Book Four of Unknown Armies 3e. UNKNOWN ARMIES 3E BOOK FOUR: EXPOSE PART 5: STATOSPHERIC SELVES PART 3 Hyphz fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Mar 21, 2023 It also has the odd tonal discrepancies that were common in 1e, with the OACOWA and BOHICA rolls, etc. I think it's still available online as a scan, although the quality is very variable. (Again, 1999, so the only Nobilis available was the old salmon hardcover.) I don't know if it's that Rebecca Borgstrom (ie, Jenna Moran) but the character background doesn't relate to the real person so probably not. One of the choices of playable PC is named, no kidding, Rebecca Borgstrom. It's essentially a multiple-murder mystery with a choice of three potential antagonists. * And I Feel Fine in which PCs awaken in a remote town to find that the rest of the world seems to have ended. (And this book came out in 1999, so it wasn't a really horribly inappropirate thing to have in the book at the time.) Know the whole "mama bear" thing? Yea, it's that. Of course, the PCs aren't what he's expecting, including one who is an Avatar of The Mother. * Fly to Heaven in which a renegade Cliomancer fabricates an identity as "Apu al Sayid" and attempts to suicide-hijack a plane in order to ascend as The Terrorist. This was I believe retconned by Statosphere into being a room of the House of Renunciation. * Joy and Sorrow in which the PCs are pulled into a bizarre ritual involving two supernatural entities. * Strange Days in which the PCs play an investigation team sent by Alex Abel to investigate a bizarre rain of barbecued fish in a village which ends up as a sandboxy McGuffin contest. Yes, I did say PvP - all those roles are PCs. * Jailbreak which is a PvP convention one-shot in which a group of convicts holding hostages attempt to take refuge in the home of an elderly mechanomancer with history. One Shots was a 1e scenario pack, which I think was the very first supplement for UA. You can find his vendor shop just outside of Cove.I didn't know there was a 2e scenario pack with the same name. ***Special thanks to Ramtha Co for providing various testing gear. I have not heard, or seen, anything that makes me believe AR reduces hit chance or spell damage (and it shouldn't!). The increase to AR on your character sheet from wearing a shield seems to be again based on the parry chance v the AR of the shield. Shields add the AR of the shield on successful parry. ![]() The base armor values appear to be the same as T2A, and they can be found here (note that in Ren, plate is AR40, not 30): Įxceptional, Special Metal, and Magic armors will obviously have higher values. In conclusion, these T2A hit percentages will be a little off, but they are a good ballpark estimate. As such, I suspect that the protection spell will actually add armor to this "ghost" location. I suspect that this is an error caused by the attack targeting a non-armorable location such as a jewelry or cloak spot. On UOF, there appears to be an additional tiny chance to ignore the armor entirely. Legs/Feet 14% Leg Plates, Leggings, Pants, Skirts, Thigh Boots In T2A, the chance to hit specific locations were:īody 44% Breastplates, Tunics, Dresses, Cloak, ShirtsĪrms 14% Arm Plates, Chainmail Tunic, Sleeves The reason a plate gorget only adds 3 AR to the character sheet from 0 is that there is ~= 7% chance to hit the neck (AR40 * 7% = 2.8 rounded up to 3). Armor seems to work the same way as T2A, where the displayed AR is an "average" based on the % chance to hit specific locations and the armor rating of that location.įor example, each piece of normal plate is AR 30, so, if you equip the whole set, your avg AR is, *drum roll*, 30. I tested this thoroughly today using my assistant, Mr.
