|---|---|
| This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft. To see an explanation of general Rules, Terminology, and Mechanics used on this page, read the Abilities page. To see a broader explanation of the Abilities and Rules used on this page, read the Proficiency Page. To see an indexed list of all Abilities, read the Ability List Page. |
The Tech Point Buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Tech Point Buy provides Packs for the Character to become proficient in Engineering and using Technology for either combat or utility.
Tech Talent
Talents provide somewhat broad descriptions of out-of-combat things a Character can do that have a vaguely or explicit technological feel to them. This includes but is not limited to replacing limbs with prosthetics, producing technological solutions for handicaps such as hoverchairs for those who are wheelchair bound, require artificial wombs, want to make air conditioning or washing machines, or generally add mechanical parts to daily tasks or the body to create a better standard of living. If you feel choice-paralysis over what you can do with this, or feel creatively lacking ideas, be sure to ask a Lore Staff in a Ticket. Tech Talent is gained for free upon Point Buying any Tech Point Buy Pack.
Tech Ghost
Tech Ghost provides unique Roleplay Function for Roboticist flavor. Firstly, Tech Ghost allows the user to produce Automata, which are autonomous programmed robots that are played by other players (and require Character Sheets of their own), which have 14 Proficiency points (but cannot invest in Radiant Point Buy, Sinistral Point Buy, Enchant Point Buy, or Faith Proficiency and its subsequent Point Buy Packs, nor can they make more Automaton) and speaks all languages the creator speaks. Automata can change their aesthetics but no changes to their body ever amount to a Disguise, unless they use a Disguise Ability. They do not age but are always created physically and mentally as adults. If the creator of the Automaton dies in Roleplay, their consciousness is transferred to one of their Automata, and they continue to live as a robot. Additionally, Automata can be remotely controlled by their creators: they cannot be in the same scene (unless it's no-stakes Social RP), and must have the same Proficiency investments as the creator, ignoring the logic of a robot casting Magic. This does not count as a disguise. Tech Ghost is gained for free upon Point Buying any Tech Point Buy Pack.
Tech Branches
Technicians should pick one (or two!) of the Technology Branches as an aesthetic for their Ability use and designs they create. Each Character may have up to two, though (Qadir) and some Afflictions get exceptions.
