If several grades of success are possible, you achieve only the lowest possible positive result.<br /> <br /> Intuition: At Level 2, as a 1-minute action, you may request a hint from the GC for which the GC gains no action dice (see page 398). If the GC refuses, you gain 1 bonus action die. You may use this ability a number of times per mission equal to your starting action dice.<br /> <br /> Intercept Communication: At Level 3, once per session, you may choose 1 specific location of which you’re aware. You clandestinely intercept the next telephone call, email, or other communication to or from the target without making a skill check (though if it’s encrypted, you must still decipher it). You also learn the address, phone number, or frequency from which the message was sent.<br /> <br /> Spookshow — Intelligence Analysis: You may quickly sift through large amounts of data. The time required for you to perform research using a computer decreases to 1/2 standard (rounded up, minimum 1 minute). <br /> <br /> Bonus Feat:<br /> <br /> <br /> Feats: <br /> <br /> Cryptographer: You may break, write, or request any code as if its Power Rating were 2 lower.<br /> <br /> Living Cipher: When writing or cracking a code without a computer, you’re considered to be using a computer with a Power Rating equal to your Intelligence modifier. Further, when writing or cracking a code with a computer, its Power Rating is considered to be 1 higher (maximum 10).<br /> <br /> Marksmanship Basics: Each time Carter takes an Aim action, he may also Brace as a free action. Further, he may take a Brace action even when no obvious surface is available to brace against. Finally, Carter suffers only a -1 penalty with Reflex saves while braced instead of the standard -4.<br /> <br /> Unlocked Potential (Science (Mathematics)): Choose 1 skill. This skill is always a class skill for you, and your maximum rank with the skill increases by 3 (to your career level + 6). This skill’s maximum rank may not be increased by any other character option or effect, however. At Level 1 and each time you gain a level, you must increase your chosen skill to its maximum possible rank before you may spend skill points on any other skill.<br /> <br /> Pack Rat: Your Possessions increase by 2 (maximum 10).<br /> <br /> =Resources=<br /> <br /> <br /> Contacts: Martin Landsman, NSA trainer<br /> <br /> Acquaintance: Security<br /> <br /> Associate: Assembly: You’re an ingenious tinker, routinely creating devices on the fly. At Level 3, you may choose 1 gear table. Once per session, you may assemble any pick of Medium or smaller Size listed on this table. This requires a number of Reserve Common Items equal to the target pick’s Caliber and a number of minutes equal to the pick’s Request DC. The pick’s maximum Caliber may not exceed 1/2 your class level (rounded up). Once assembled, the gear pick operates in all ways according to its standard statistics, except that the error range of each attack and skill check made using it increases by 2.You may cannibalize gear assembled with this ability by spending a number of minutes equal to the item’s Request DC. Once the item is cannibalized, you gain a number of Reserve Common Items equal to 1/2 the item’s Caliber (rounded down, minimum 1). An item assembled using this ability is lost at the end of the mission, as standard.

Once assembled, the gear pick operates in all ways according to its standard statistics, except that the error range of each attack and skill check made using it increases by 2.You may cannibalize gear assembled with this ability by spending a number of minutes equal to the item’s Request DC. Once the item is cannibalized, you gain a number of Reserve Common Items equal to 1/2 the item’s Caliber (rounded down, minimum 1).

They were introduced to one of their three administrators, codenamed Y, a highly ranked NSA official. Y told them of the theft of a secret encryption system known as WAVER, taken from a NSA front company in Baltimore. He identified the thief as a professional corporate spy named Rebecca Van Lewton, and the team was given the task of locating Van Lewton and recovering WAVER. Upon their arrival in Baltimore, however, they found that Van Lewton had been shot and killed during a Project Pitfall raid on her apartment. <br /> <br /> Pitfall claimed to have targeted Van Lewton as an agent of the terrorist group Banshee Net, but the team found no proof to back this up. Investigating Van Lewton's associates, they learned that she had been hired to steal WAVER through a criminal contact named Sonny Charlton. Negotiating with Charlton, they discovered that he had in turn been hired by Avery Mitchell, husband of Senator Gwen Lockheart and a highly ranked agent of Project Pitfall. Tailing Mitchell and doing surveillance on his home, the team was able to learn that he was selling classified intelligence secrets to a group known as the Peace Cartel.

In exchange for this favor, BigNothing offered to provide intel related to the team's personal mysteries. Carter approached the others about this offer, and they agreed to take part in the rescue operation. Finding the safehouse, they met Yvette Brown (probably an alias), a young woman who had been shot in the leg and who was somewhat delirious. After tending to her injury, they got her into a car and talked their way past a police checkpoint, escaping the area before a Pitfall strike team arrived at the safehouse. The team drove to a dock where a boat was prepared to take them out to the container ship. On their way to the boat, however, they were attacked by a hit squad composed of a sniper and several assaulters using a speedboat. Carter was injured in the ensuing shootout, and a security guard and several assaulters were killed. Searching the bodies, the team found an old photograph of Simon Jordan in one assassin's possession. <br /> <br /> The team left the dock and found a rental boat at another location, taking it out to meet the container ship before it left the coast. Aboard the Pearl of Tangiers, Carter, Damian, and Simon handed Yvette over to a man who called himself &quot;Marin&quot;. Marin didn't offer many explanations, but did give the team an envelope filled with intelligence data. The data included, among other things, surveillance on Jonathan Roberts, pictures of ex-CIA station chief Francis Prosper, and an assessment of SHELTER. The latter was a fully decrypted version of the same file Carter had intercepted and tried to decrypt earlier, and it implied that SHELTER was in fact a cover operation for the organization known as the Shadow Patriots.

They were introduced to one of their three administrators, codenamed Y, a highly ranked NSA official. Y told them of the theft of a secret encryption system known as WAVER, taken from a NSA front company in Baltimore. He identified the thief as a professional corporate spy named Rebecca Van Lewton, and the team was given the task of locating Van Lewton and recovering WAVER. Upon their arrival in Baltimore, however, they found that Van Lewton had been shot and killed during a Project Pitfall raid on her apartment. <br /> <br /> Pitfall claimed to have targeted Van Lewton as an agent of the terrorist group Banshee Net, but the team found no proof to back this up. Investigating Van Lewton's associates, they learned that she had been hired to steal WAVER through a criminal contact named Sonny Charlton. Negotiating with Charlton, they discovered that he had in turn been hired by Avery Mitchell, husband of Senator Gwen Lockheart and a highly ranked agent of Project Pitfall. Tailing Mitchell and doing surveillance on his home, the team was able to learn that he was selling classified intelligence secrets to a group known as the Peace Cartel. The team gathered evidence of Mitchell's treason and encountered operatives of the Peace Cartel, including a former associate of Simon's named Johnathan Roberts. Carter came into contact with an encryption expert on the internet, learning what he could about WAVER. He discovered, among other things, that the code related to one he'd personally come across from a suspicious website. Grabbing WAVER before Mitchell could exchange it with the criminal organization's representatives, they foiled the Cartel's plans. Y then used the evidence of Mitchell's secret activities to blackmail him into providing SHELTER with information on Pitfall activities as well as reducing Pitfall interference in future SHELTER operations.<br /> <br /> The team's next mission, given by a CIA supervisor codenamed 'X', involved a branch of the Franchise known as The Apothecary, a drug organization that was trading in biochemical agents on the black market. The team was to meet Apothecary operative Nelson Grakos, an amoral and hedonistic drug designer, and try to learn the location of an illegal hot lab used in creating lethal toxins. Arriving in New York City, they adopted the guises of an Albanian smuggler and his entourage, and managed to get an invitation to one of Grakos' infamous parties in his downtown penthouse.

Over the next few years, he took various classes in Colorado, learning basic and intermediate techniques in a variety of disciplines.<br /> <br /> <br /> After Diane was offered a job working for a publishing house in Nevada, the couple moved south. Ben soon was training intensively, meshing several styles together to form a hybrid style that drew from African, Asian and Native American fighting styles. He's been teaching a few of his friends some basics, and Ben has been investigating the possibility of opening a joint-instruction training center that — while it would have some focus on martial arts — would also serve as a general fitness center.

He spent some time in Sacramento and Portland before spending the next few years in Denver, where his friendly demeanor and willingness to help were a perfect fit for a hiking expedition outfit.<br /> <br /> <br /> He eventually met his future wife, Diane, on one of the hiking trips, and her basic involvement in karate got him interested as well. Over the next few years, he took various classes in Colorado, learning basic and intermediate techniques in a variety of disciplines.<br /> <br /> <br /> After Diane was offered a job working for a publishing house in Nevada, the couple moved south. Ben soon was training intensively, meshing several styles together to form a hybrid style that drew from African, Asian and Native American fighting styles. He's been teaching a few of his friends some basics, and Ben has been investigating the possibility of opening a joint-instruction training center that — while it would have some focus on martial arts — would also serve as a general fitness center. This was, however, before he saw a murder....<br /> <br /> <br /> Subplots:<br /> <br /> =Attributes=<br /> <br /> STR 14 (+2)<br /> <br /> DEX 14 (+2)<br /> <br /> CON 14 (+2)<br /> <br /> INT 13 (+1)<br /> <br /> WIS 14 (+2)<br /> <br /> CHA 11 (+0)<br /> <br /> =Derived Values=<br /> <br /> Action Dice: 2d6<br /> <br /> Vitality Points: 44<br /> <br /> Wound Points: 16<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Fortitude: +7<br /> <br /> Reflexes: +8<br /> <br /> Willpower: +4<br /> <br /> <br /> Stress Threshold: 13<br /> <br /> Subdual Threshold: 14<br /> <br /> <br /> Knowledge Check: +8<br /> <br /> Request Check: +7<br /> <br /> Gear Check: +8<br /> <br /> <br /> Defense: 21<br /> <br /> Initiative: +6<br /> <br /> Base Attack Bonus: +6<br /> <br /> Unarmed: +8<br /> <br /> Melee: +8<br /> <br /> Ranged: +8<br /> <br /> Weapon Proficiencies: Blunt (forte), Edged (forte), Hurled, Exotic (Blunt) (forte), Unarmed (forte)<br /> <br /> Primary Weapon: Survival Knife (Damage 1d6+3, Error/Threat 1/19–20, Size D/1h, Qualities AP (1), BLD)<br /> <br /> Secondary Weapon: Unarmed (Dmg 1d6+2)<br /> <br /> Armor and Protective Gear: None<br /> <br /> Speed: 35 ft.<br /> <br /> =Skills=<br /> <br /> <br /> Acrobatics +9/+9 (7 Ranks, +2 STR/+2 DEX, Result Cap 40)<br /> <br /> Athletics +11/+11 (9 Ranks, +2 STR/+2 CON, Result Cap 40)<br /> <br /> Cultures (North America) +4 (3 Ranks, +1 INT, Result Cap 20)<br /> <br /> Drive (Personal Ground Vehicles) +5 (3 Ranks, +2 DEX, Result Cap 20)<br /> <br /> Intimidate +6/+5 (4 Ranks, +2 STR/+1 WIS, Result Cap 30)<br /> <br /> Notice +8 (6 Ranks, +1 WIS, Result Cap 30)<br /> <br /> Profession (Wilderness Guide) +5 (5 Ranks, +0 CHA, Result Cap 30)<br /> <br /> Resolve +9/+8 (7 Ranks, +2 CON/+1 WIS, Result Cap 40)<br /> <br /> Science () +1 (0 Ranks, +1 INT, Result Cap 15, Error +2)<br /> <br /> Search +9 (8 Ranks, +1 INT, Result Cap 40)<br /> <br /> Sneak +7/+5 (5 Ranks, +2 DEX/+0 CHA, Result Cap 30)<br /> <br /> Survival +6/+5 (5 Ranks, +1 WIS/+0 CHA, Result Cap 30)<br /> <br /> <br /> Interests: camping, Pacific northwest lore, west coast state routes, American folk music<br /> <br /> =Abilities=<br /> <br /> Origin Abilities: retry skill check without penalty 4/session, free hint 1/session, +2 wound points, +2 base Defense, 2 additional vitality points at Career Level 1 and 1 additional vitality point at each Career Level thereafter<br /> <br /> Class Abilities: <br /> <br /> Improved Reach (+5 ft)<br /> <br /> Life of Discipline (Discipline of the Mind): The lower of your Dexterity or Intelligence scores increases by 1 (if they’re tied, you choose which to increase).

If several grades of success are possible, you achieve only the lowest possible positive result.<br /> <br /> Intuition: At Level 2, as a 1-minute action, you may request a hint from the GC for which the GC gains no action dice (see page 398). If the GC refuses, you gain 1 bonus action die. You may use this ability a number of times per mission equal to your starting action dice.<br /> <br /> Intercept Communication: At Level 3, once per session, you may choose 1 specific location of which you’re aware. You clandestinely intercept the next telephone call, email, or other communication to or from the target without making a skill check (though if it’s encrypted, you must still decipher it). You also learn the address, phone number, or frequency from which the message was sent.<br /> <br /> Spookshow — Intelligence Analysis: You may quickly sift through large amounts of data. The time required for you to perform research using a computer decreases to 1/2 standard (rounded up, minimum 1 minute). <br /> <br /> Bonus Feat:<br /> <br /> <br /> Feats: <br /> <br /> Cryptographer: You may break, write, or request any code as if its Power Rating were 2 lower.<br /> <br /> Living Cipher: When writing or cracking a code without a computer, you’re considered to be using a computer with a Power Rating equal to your Intelligence modifier. Further, when writing or cracking a code with a computer, its Power Rating is considered to be 1 higher (maximum 10).<br /> <br /> Unlocked Potential (Science (Mathematics)): Choose 1 skill. This skill is always a class skill for you, and your maximum rank with the skill increases by 3 (to your career level + 6). This skill’s maximum rank may not be increased by any other character option or effect, however. At Level 1 and each time you gain a level, you must increase your chosen skill to its maximum possible rank before you may spend skill points on any other skill.<br /> <br /> Pack Rat: Your Possessions increase by 2 (maximum 10).<br /> <br /> <br /> =Resources=<br /> <br /> <br /> Contacts: Martin Landsman, NSA trainer<br /> <br /> Acquaintance: Security<br /> <br /> Associate: Assembly: You’re an ingenious tinker, routinely creating devices on the fly. At Level 3, you may choose 1 gear table. Once per session, you may assemble any pick of Medium or smaller Size listed on this table. This requires a number of Reserve Common Items equal to the target pick’s Caliber and a number of minutes equal to the pick’s Request DC. The pick’s maximum Caliber may not exceed 1/2 your class level (rounded up). Once assembled, the gear pick operates in all ways according to its standard statistics, except that the error range of each attack and skill check made using it increases by 2.You may cannibalize gear assembled with this ability by spending a number of minutes equal to the item’s Request DC. Once the item is cannibalized, you gain a number of Reserve Common Items equal to 1/2 the item’s Caliber (rounded down, minimum 1). An item assembled using this ability is lost at the end of the mission, as standard. At Levels 5, 7, and 9, you may choose 1 additional gear table to which this ability applies.<br /> <br /> Wealth: 4<br /> <br /> Lifestyle: 3 (Loft in Baltimore, small sedan, common street look +0)<br /> <br /> Possessions: 7 (FN Browning High-Power (9mmP, holster + additional load of non-lethal ammo); parabolic microphone; All-purpose replacement cipher (Code -- PR 4); still camera (commercial grade); video bug (PR 1); audio bug (PR 1); cover identity (PR 2 — Charles Parker, photographer for Urban Trends magazine); field glasses; physical tap; Common items: cell phone, small pen flashlight, pack of AA batteries, tablet, several pens, signal mirror, folder with several sheets of music, viola, thumbed-through western novel, caffeine pills, several packs of over-the-counter painkillers, pitch pipe, stopwatch)<br /> <br /> Spending Cash: 3 ($900)<br /> <br /> =Currently Carrying=<br /> <br /> FN Browning High-Power (9mmP, holster + additional load of non-lethal ammo); parabolic microphone; All-purpose replacement cipher (Code -- PR 4); still camera (commercial grade); video bug (PR 1); audio bug (PR 1); cover identity (PR 2 — Charles Parker, photographer for Urban Trends magazine); field glasses; Common items: cell phone, small pen flashlight, signal mirror, pitch pipe, stopwatch)<br /> <br /> Also has low profile armor purchased before mission.<br /> <br /> =Current Condition=<br /> <br /> [[SHELTER:Main_Page]]<br /> <br /> =Transcript #34712=<br /> <br /> C.

<p>Jasonpanella: </p> <hr /> <div>=Background=<br /> <br /> Name: Ben Hartcourt<br /> <br /> Callsign: None<br /> <br /> Player: Jason Panella<br /> <br /> <br /> Origin: Determined Survivor<br /> <br /> Class: Scout 2/Martial Artist 5<br /> <br /> Net Worth: $100,000<br /> <br /> <br /> Age: 29<br /> <br /> Height: 5'9&quot;<br /> <br /> Weight: 151 lbs.<br /> <br /> Eyes: brown<br /> <br /> Hair: black<br /> <br /> <br /> Backstory: Ben Hartcourt was on the road less than a week after he finished his undergrad degree, leaving Seattle behind and opening the entirely of the west coast in front of him. He spent some time in Sacramento and Portland before spending the next few years in Denver, where his friendly demeanor and willingness to help were a perfect fit for a hiking expedition outfit.<br /> <br /> <br /> He eventually met his future wife, Diane, on one of the hiking trips, and her basic involvement in karate got him interested as well. Over the next few years, he took various classes in Colorado, learning basic and intermediate techniques in a variety of disciplines.<br /> <br /> <br /> After Diane was offered a job working for a publishing house in Nevada, the couple moved south. Ben soon was training intensively, meshing several styles together to form a hybrid style that drew from African, Asian and Native American fighting styles. He's been teaching a few of his friends some basics, and Ben has been investigating the possibility of opening a joint-instruction training center that — while it would have some focus on martial arts — would also serve as a general fitness center.

<p>Jasonpanella: </p> <hr /> <div>=Background=<br /> <br /> Name: Ben Hartcourt<br /> <br /> Callsign: None<br /> <br /> Player: Jason Panella<br /> <br /> <br /> Origin: Determined Survivor<br /> <br /> Class: Scout 2/Martial Artist 5<br /> <br /> Net Worth: $100,000<br /> <br /> <br /> Age:<br /> <br /> Height:<br /> <br /> Weight:<br /> <br /> Eyes:<br /> <br /> Hair:<br /> <br /> <br /> Backstory: Ben Hartcourt was on the road less than a week after he finished his undergrad degree, leaving Seattle behind and opening the entirely of the west coast in front of him. He spent some time in Sacramento and Portland before spending the next few years in Denver, where his friendly demeanor and willingness to help were a perfect fit for a hiking expedition outfit.<br /> <br /> <br /> He eventually met his future wife, Diane, on one of the hiking trips, and her basic involvement in karate got him interested as well. Over the next few years, he took various classes in Colorado, learning basic and intermediate techniques in a variety of disciplines.<br /> <br /> <br /> After Diane was offered a job working for a publishing house in Nevada, the couple moved south. Ben soon was training intensively, meshing several styles together to form a hybrid style that drew from African, Asian and Native American fighting styles. He's been teaching a few of his friends some basics, and Ben has been investigating the possibility of opening a joint-instruction training center that — while it would have some focus on martial arts — would also serve as a general fitness center.

They will become entangled in the intrigue and conspiracies of the World on Fire, combating threats such as the Franchise and working for and against other factions of the setting. Victories in this shadow war come at a high price, and trust is hard to come by. With hard work and a little luck, however, the agents of SHELTER may not only survive but also help bring the world back from the brink of self-destruction.<br /> <br /> =Themes=<br /> <br /> The main theme of this game will be Suspense. The PCs will be parties to misdirection, manipulation, and other machinations behind the scenes of the world stage. Enemy and rival operatives will have their own shadowy methods and motives, often putting the PCs in life-threatening situations. They will have to negotiate this dangerous and often deadly landscape while maintaining secrecy and plausible deniability.<br /> <br /> A corollary of the main theme is Paranoia. While they will have reasons to trust their teammates, the PCs will encounter many individuals with shifting loyalties and purposes. Someone who was an asset in one mission may turn out to be an antagonist in the next, and vice versa. It will be up to the players to decide who they put their faith in, and they should make contingency plans just in case.<br /> <br /> =Mood=<br /> <br /> This game will focus on the grittier end of the espionage spectrum, emphasizing brains over brawn and skill over gadgets. The tone will not be unremittingly bleak, but it will also not be especially light-hearted. What humor there is will come from the characters rather than the absurdity of the world they find themselves in. The more bizarre and outlandish elements of the World on Fire setting will not be used; no Alliance of Evil Geniuses or supernatural beings pulling the strings. While there will be moments of violence, it's my intention to downplay gun battles and other mayhem in this particular game.<br /> <br /> =Sources of Inspiration=<br /> <br /> ''The Bourne Identity'' (film)<br /> <br /> ''The Bourne Supremacy'' (film)<br /> <br /> ''The Bourne Ultimatum'' (film)<br /> <br /> ''The Ipcress File'' (film)<br /> <br /> ''Queen and Country'' (comic book)<br /> <br /> ''The Sandbaggers'' (TV series)<br /> <br /> ''Spy Game'' (film)<br /> <br /> =Campaign Qualities=<br /> <br /> I've decided to apply the following Campaign Qualities to the first Season of this game:<br /> <br /> '''Clandestine''' (+0 XP)<br /> <br /> '''Faction''' (+0 XP)<br /> <br /> '''Gritty''' (+100 XP)<br /> <br /> '''Paranoid''' (+0 XP)<br /> <br /> Clandestine allows PCs to select a Covert feat when they receive a non-Covert feat choice. Faction means that the PCs will be working for an agency, in this case SHELTER. Gritty increases the danger of critical injury as a result of combat or other threats. Paranoid gives all special and player characters a +4 morale bonus with Blend/Stealth and Sneak/Hide checks to determine who benefits from a surprise round and also applies a -4 morale penalty to skill checks made to shift a target's disposition or convince a target to do something.<br /> <br /> =The Agency=<br /> <br /> The group known as SHELTER was formed in the Winter of 2006 by elements of the American intelligence community, primarily as a response to the operational and bureaucratic morass caused by Project Pitfall and the ever-expanding War On Terror. Seeking to reclaim territory and assets lost in the shadow of the massive international counter-terrorism force, several administrators of the CIA, FBI, and NSA agreed to pool their remaining resources and form a distinct, unique unit of their own creation. This unit would operate in advance of and separate from the joint task forces of the National Security Council and their Pitfall affiliates. Its primary task would be to conduct counter-terrorist and intelligence operations both within the United States and abroad, protecting American interests and offering its creators an alternative perspective on the current global crisis. A trio of trusted executives from the three originating agencies were tasked with overseeing the formation of SHELTER, operating under the cover of an NSA task force. Seeking prospective agents from government intelligence agencies, law enforcement departments, and the military, the &quot;Big Three&quot; selected personnel based on their proficiency, discretion, and ideals.<br /> <br /> In the period since its inception, SHELTER has seen only modest growth, seeking to operate below the radar of parent and sister agencies. This is in keeping with the original vision of the organization; a fallback unit which its creators could rely upon for discreet information and operation cycles. Thus far, very few people in the NSA or the American intelligence community are aware of the group's existence. There have been several close calls, primarily due to SHELTER teams crossing paths with Pitfall personnel while pursuing data or sabotaging terrorist cells. These encounters have always resulted in the SHELTER ops covering their tracks and backing down from direct confrontation. It is feared that some form of collision with Pitfall is inevitable, but the agency has managed to stave it off for the time being.<br /> <br /> The primary focus of SHELTER is dealing with the terrorist organization known as the Franchise. A vast, sprawling collection of criminal and extremist cells with limited but resilient networking support, the Franchise is a daunting and deadly antagonist. Every SHELTER operative lost in the field thus far met their end at the hands of this conspiracy in one form or another, and this has only intensified the focus of the surviving ops. The struggle is difficult for numerous reasons, not the least of which is the Franchise's ability to replace lost cells within weeks or even days. SHELTER holds out hope that it will somehow find a way to break this cycle and finally land a crippling blow.
