A human to orc, or vice versa would have no impact on the working of the spell, what the rulebook is referring to there is doing things like:
turning a human into a cow
turning a human into an ant
turning an ant into a human
turning an elf into optimus prime (the truck or the robot)


When talking about actual dice rolls, there will be no effect from making yourself look like a human rather than an orc, whether in casting the spell, or somebody else resisting the spell.

[OOC] OK, so we are clear. I have now successfully cracked the FTL Matrixware Power Suite (Analyze 3, Browse 4, Command 2, Edit 4, Purge 4, Scan 2) and the Tacsoft 2 programs and copied them into each runners commlink. Tacsoft rating 2 in particular will be useful to all of us.
"Shagrat, I've cracked and copied your commlink's software so we can all leverage its use and so I can continue to improve it later. Dash and Canyon, I've already taken the liberty of loading the softare into your commlinks but I haven't rebooted them yet. I would do that as soon as you can.


Flux emerges from her meditative state, sitting on Shagrats bed. A dull pain throbs in the back of her mind.
"Well that didn't go down the way I had imagined. I figured they would have good security but that was close! I'll have to dive in again after some sleep. Sorry I don't have more information for you."

Good work flux my girl.

By the way, that's not the only throb you're feeling.

been working hard miss flux.

did you happen to edit bob to run the programs by chance? or should we program him to our needs?

The spell Shagrat is intending to cast is resisted by intuition rather then willpower, so it creates a clever illusion to trick an observer rather then trying to force an observers mind into believing the casters altered reality.

Therefor in a situation where a thin human had been made to look like a muscly orc if an observer touched them it would likely trigger a further attempt to resist the illusion, due to the fact that the physical reality doesn't match the altered visual reality. Where as a muscly orc/human being made to look like a different muscly orc would be unlikely to trigger the resist attempt on touch as the physical reality and the altered are fairly similar.

"Canyon, I don't have the time to work on the agent right now. Preparations for this run are far more important."

Flux is going to require a few hours (6) sleep to recover from her initial dive into Shin Han Secure Logistics.

[OOC] Time check from the G.M?

this is basically what i was trying to get out with the examples of illusions youd be hard pressed to maintain, in my round about kinda way

You failed horribly then.

Flux's next dive will be inside server maintenance.

At some point we are going to do stuff in session yeah?

See the way I had the envisioned it was planning on forums, 15min job done in session.

[@matt]
time stamp [i dont know if im at another time or if i just looked up porn for however long you guys did stuff.]

anyways seeing as though im a shit cracker.
im doing this

im going to copy bob.
im also going to edit the scripts of all the programs we have so they all work together.

desired result is to have it working in unison which allows for tacsoft optimization. or the equivalent of a spider network for the tacsoft to work from. everyone will know what the fuck we are doing and what we are up against. this is done by the agents sending and recieving data from the tacsoft and then working from a database of pooled information that allows the tacsoft to relay additional information to the players about the situation. also if the database does not have information the agents can then make a browser roll to search for relevant information.

so first the copy of bob

computer 3 + edit 5 (extended test complex action(nexus simple action))
ill just make two rolls and see where we get to.

1st roll

angry_dan carried out 8 launched of one D6 :

5 , 4 , 2 , 3 , 1 , 3 , 6 , 4

2nd roll

angry_dan carried out 8 launched of one D6 :

6 , 6 , 4 , 6 , 3 , 6 , 2 , 2

results next post.

1st roll gave us 2 hits
2nd roll gave us 4 hits

so a 6 total.

would this allow me to copy bob to his new homes?

What you have just described is a tacsoft program. You have one of those. its rating 2. I have no idea what you are trying to achieve here.

Yeah that's fine you copy Bob.

Your require a spider to operate the extra tasks.
Once I can find the time I will alter bobs access id to allow him to enter the same node as another copy.
(a botnet)

Yes the tacsoft has all this already installed. you need a spider to proform the extra task of data search.
If anything it just gives us all an autonomous program to feed us info with simple commands.

reading it over seems good

Which bits seem good to you Ashton?
