entirely possible that i have gotten wires crossed as i have gotten lost.... so many times, ill keep mr kay at 6 and keep honeypot at 10 since thats probably better frankly

for reference here is where i previously boosted mr kay

ah thought it was at D8 so thats where i got mixed up, i knew it was every multiple of 4 i thought i had allready put him at a d6 at an earlier step? i might be getting wires crossed i was specifying it as the atomizer since im ending up with a lot of similar sounding keywords (pherotech, pherosal, pheromones, etc) as they are really blurring together ill take a look in just a moment

This seems to be the most fitting, i am kinda struggling to find the line between Resources and assets though... not that it matters here specifically... Its all going into truth Im stepping up honey pot which i believe requires a new sfx, im going for the one that lets me attract unwanted trouble for a plot point Id like to step up mr kay using the single relationship bump which i believe makes him fairly high Im boosting the pherosol atomizer to get it at d8 to grab the other sfx I think i also need ti draw a line but im on phone right now so ill need to do THAT later

These are the two "key" features the concept wants to do, if in a later step i can grab the other of the two im golden, but as is im not sure which is better... Assuming i cant get both due to future steps the "flood a scene" effect seems more versatile well the aroused seems more specific but more potent... Hrm...

ok gotcha I think... i will mention i did bump up pherotech in step 2 i believe and what i have is below (in the spoiler) which was based on an earlier thing, which might have been before you caught the mix up the other day. checking if i need to change anything i bumped up pherosol itself up from d4 to d6 for now for now i added this to my sheet for pherosol sfx - Reveal a previously unseen function of the Multitool appropriate to the situation (e.g., “Extendable Mirror Lens,” “Telescopic Armature,” “Micro-Welder,” or “Steam Torch”). (Adaptive Mechanism) for glider - Spend a Plot Point to glide safely from any fall, no matter the height. I cant find the sfx list pheromone sprayer itself which i need to pick an sfx for, currently i dont have anything explicitly stating i can... use pheromones which is kinda important... (Gadgets, Alchemical) is what i added for kyles cure-alls, if later on we can add a third specialty to the location, or possibly add a split between kyles cure alls and the secret base under it (IE by earning another location) I would like to add things like "connections, engineering, espionage" or basically just flesh out the possibilities the location has even if it means I as a character need to sacrifice a thing or two, i rather like this part

annnd life got busy for a bit and im so ungodly lost with where i left off, cortex has such an involved character creation process x.x i believe i need to pick some sfx the problem is im not sure which categories i have since i think so far i have 3 out of the 4 i mentioned before and i did not realize i would need to pick a single sfx from the list of 2 to 4 that was under those so i lost track of where they where... without knowing off hand the specifics the things i liked the most where -gain a fate point when your pherotech pheromones cause unforseen complications (i think?) -pherosol being able to glide from tall locations without complication -I think we mentioned the pharotech multitool feature was kinda just innate, but i did want to use to as a basis for other temporary tools if it was not bonus - if the multitool option was kinda lumped in, having the shield option to block an attack then that would be neat i repeat i am so fucking lost in the sauce, this is so involved and i cant do it on my own like 5e XD im so sorry

life has been crazy so i have been slow, i think currently i have 3 parasol abilities, so would that mean i need 3 SFX total, one from each?

i am going with invention, and if im reading this correctly I can get the multitool and glider version of the pherosol upgrades we talked about, and i can bump the dice used for my existing pherotech as for the other two steps, without knowing anything about other npcs its hard to come up with connections off hand, for now i have mr kay having an interest in the golden stag casino due to the nature of those kinds of buisinesses attracting big fish and getting them drunk enough to sing real "pretty" to put nicely. well ramona has her eye on jack beckett, something about him putting her on edge ... actually what exactly is gear vs assets? dont i need to change perotech to gear? i want to make sure im not getting wires crossed

ill just use 1 and 3 to both step up honeypot to D8 I think? (if thats an option, i see distinction as an option in 3) and for 2 I guess ill step up the... only option of kyles cure-alls to 2d6

. . . Im so lost at this point Dx i was in the middle of step 2 uouth when certain systematic things were changed, i THINK im done with step 2 and need to do 3 but i have lost that line x.x

Im realizing from this i haven't really defined ramonas role in the pharmacy itself... she works with kay obviously but shes not exactly a drug dealer herself... and odds are kay/ kyle would have something mildly more advanced than opium if he did deal her a treatment... If anything ramona gave you a placebo pill and spiked your dopamine levels using her pherosol, making you feel happy taking the safe pills... that did nothing itself, but her thinking it SHOULD help calmed her down. The actual phrasing is fine... but i will mention her perspective was... far less accidental, as ramona is here to investigate the unnatural going ons that have started to crop up since the new material was discovered... and missy is frankly a person of interest whos being investigated to a degree due to her "mystical persona"... ramona saw the breakdown coming and used it as a chance to "accidentally" stumble accross her and offer her something, trying to get just a little closer... Grom ramona's pov it might be missy (profiled via placebo)... with a lot of ramons initial relationships developing as how she is ingraining herself in these people of intrests lives ...all that to say that can work with some tweaks/changes in perspective.

I choose apprentice not sure if the pherosol is the new distinction or not i ^pherotech since i believe we are turning that into a resource (?) i boosted my relationship with mr kay with the last slot

this is fine by me, I think i questioned this at one point recently, so im perfectly happy to adjust

I suppose I should ask what I should do now that the rules have kinda been upended? I want to push to get my honey trap wrapped up in a pretty bow this weekend so im not holding things up, but im even less sure what i need to do at this point

I do apologize for being lost, im trying my best to be quick and correct DX

well this is good to hear i guess XD

this sounds great, i love this. I love all of these <3 oh gods... I need to change things i have already done up to this point, dont I? *panicked spy noises*

Gotcha...uhm... what are we defining as a 'session' exactly? Also with this in mind can i get a feature that makes my first plot point spent to create a temporary asset attatched to the pherosol last till session end? Ie giving a discount? I want to tie mechanics to the multitool flavor in some way

ahhh well with THAT in mind there are 4 main points I would like to incorporate into it, if not right out the gate then as we go its main purpose is to be a handy way to apply pheromones into the air around me, so giving it options to more directly influence who gets affected by them, how far they can spread, or what kinds of effects they can have all would be appreciated, this is the catch all part that puts phero in the pherosol being able to open the umbrella and use it as a parashoot or even a short burst of flight would be a wonderful tool in an agents kit, allowing fun methods to enter or exit buildings if need be similar to 2, being able to open the umbrella and have it work like a reinforced shield, something that could deflect lower caliber bullets if that ever becomes relevant would be wonderful this is kind of a catch all, i saw in an example that you can spend plot points to turn a temporary asset into a permanent one, I want to frequently do things like that with misc tools tied to the pherobrella... be it an automatic lockpick, detaching the hooked hilt of it to use as a grappling hook, or using the tip to shoot a laser to melt through iron bars... i basically want to have the leeway to create temp tools and turn them permanent later... which sounds like that itself wont be an issue im sure i could break those down further but thats the basic idea?

pherotech is intended to be tied to my gear since its meant as more of a tool rather then my own skills (honey trap being the portion that is my skills<3) so adding the gear tag to pherotech would be perfect! that said I would also like to expand upon the pherosol to function as more than just a perfume bottle and work as a spys multitool in some capacity, so if that needs to be a separate gear piece that's fine by me, especially since i believe i have the option to add a distinction in this step?

well I would like a new distinction so i kinda need to know what that entails... i think ill go with believer and double boost kays relationship to represent my characters devotion to her cause... alternatively I could double boost the pherosol to make her really secret agent-esk... ...? wait do i technically have my pherosol yet?

ok... so it boils down between apprentice and believer basically being a difference between boosting a resource or boosting a relationship... practically speaking with one ill empower my umbrella well the other ill boost my relationship with kay i thought that would be a fun mix up for the story :3

well since i was told to make it unexpected i made mr kay and red jenny brother and sister, with mr kay currently unaware of that fact I added the location kyles cure alls! intending it to sound generic and unengaging to avoid getting too much traffic since its meant to be a base from this list... apprentice or believer are the only ones that seems fitting for now, now that said i have been trying to find the youth step for about 2 days now to find out what any of this means... unsuccessfully! XD send help please

my votes are incredibly unhelpful since i just want to play whatever i can XD
