CHARACTER CREATION
Characters are created with 25 dice for Resistances, Apptitudes, Powers, and Advantages.
Characters may take up to 5 dice of disadvantages.
No more than 15 dice may be spent on powers.
Each character gets 2 "occupation" advantages.
- Team Role Occupation (3D to Military, Shooting, Fighting, Intrusion)
- The Adventurer (in it for the thrills - covers Athletics as well)
- The Investigator (in it to figure things out - covers Investigation as well)
- The Operator (in it for the conflict - covers Survival as well)
- The Provocateur (in it for the performance - covers Presence as well)
- The Thief (in it for the goods - covers Streetwise as well)
- The Ace (in it for the travel - covers either Aircraft or Vehilces as well)
- The Sapper (in it for the explosions - covers Technology as well)
- Specialties can be bought as normal with the "components" of the Team Role occupation.
- Cover Occupation (3D to a cover profession - all good covers eventually become "real) - Non exhaustive list
- Actor, Athelete, Consultant, Diplomat, Explorer, Journalist, Performer, Scholar, Scientist, Student, Trader, etc.
- Basically, come up with a job/profession that has reason to travel
- Will discuss what this profession covers on a character by character basis
For now, languages are assumed to be important. Each character gets basic language for free. 1D buys fluency in 3 languages. At the very least, German, Spanish, French, Italian, English, Arabic, Farsi, Japanese - are all likely to be important. I am still noodling - and may change my mind about the importance of language.
