How Not To Be Seen (or shot)

A recap and slight elaboration on the various rules for hiding, plus rules for cover. Invisibility +10 AC if fully invisible, +7 AC if partially (e.g. body is invisible, but wearing some clothes). [MCC page 52, Holographic Skin] +2 to-hit [MCC page 124, Attack Modifiers, DCC page 78, same]. Interestingly, no mechanical effects of invisibility are defined […]

Each jump takes one week, regardless of distance, while higher jump ratings allow for longer jumps […]

Roll 1d10 modified by Sanity mods; may burn a point of Luck after roll to negate effect. Minor Mental Corruption Paranoia strikes deep. You become convinced your companions are out to steal your ideas: […]
