Editing MnM3 ATB Road Hogs (section)

== SETTING, CHARACTER CREATION and ADDITIONAL NOTES ==
This setting using M&M 3rd ed. The players are all uplifted Animals and Mutants working for the "State Troopers" in State of Free Cally. Characters mostly likely had parents whom also served or serve now in this official law enforcement agency on the Old California Highway system that they maintain for trade and movement in the southern part of the state. The northern part of the state is over run by the so-called Road Hog gangs. These gangs are dominated by the ''Swing Brotherhood'' Motorcycle Gangs but most other animals are part of these gangs.


'''Soft PL6 (90 points)'''

The games base is Power Level 6 but I am not enforcing these limits on the characters. They have 90 power points to spend on their characters as they wish. The PL6 is a soft target they can exceed (but not too much). Characters should buy their animal traits and stats with these points and any personal gear with Equipment Points per M&M3. Each player should haev a number of animal "powers" built into their character as they see fit. 

An example of uplift animals might be...
:'''Rabbits''' -- Animal Senses: Senses 4 [Accurate Hearing, Acute Olfactory, Low-light Vision] {4pp}; Fast Runners: Speed 2 [8 mph]) {2pp}; Great Leap: Leaping 2 [30 feet] {2pp}; Quick: Enhanced Advantage [Improved Initiative] {1pp}
:'''Badger'''-- Animal Senses: Senses 4 (Low-Light Vision, Olfactory [Acute, Extended, Tracking]) {4pp}; Blood Rage: Enhanced Stamina 2 (Fades); Linked Enhanced Strength 2 (Fades) {4pp}; Digging: Burrowing 4 (1 mph) {4}; Natural Weapons: Strength Based Damage 2 {2pp}

I would prefer most players were Mammals and Birds or a Mutant (someone with non-Animal Powers like Psionics, etc.), with the occasional reptile, insect or snake. Most snails, slugs, fish, amphibians, planets and the like are non-sapient. But you could play a unique one-off of these if you really want. Just need permission first please.

All characters gain free '''Feature''' for your characters -- a '''''State Trooper Badge'''''. This is '''Benefit''' advantage that gives you bonuses to Persuasion and other checks from the folks within the '''Free State of Cally''', allows you to make requests for food and shelter and supplies from any city that is a member of the state, etc.

Characters also gain 20 free separate points for a Vehicle using the M&M pg. 224 as a basic for Ground Vehicles. Extra points going for upgraded movement, toughness, weapons, etc. Characters can also invest Equipment Points into their vehicle at the standard rates but these points must be dedicated for vehicles only. Characters can combine their points to get a bigger vehicle with more gear or guns on it.
