Re: Torn Victor [Recruitment]
Hey everyone.
We aren't quite ready to kick things off yet, but I'm going to put up the Torn Victor IC thread. I'm just going to be wetting people's whistles with some news articles about some in-game events that happen between January 2015 and the start of the actual campaign. I'm going to ask that you all refrain from posting in the IC thread just yet. I want to make sure the characters are finished and until after I get the OOC thread up. Look for the first post to show up tonight. |

Re: Torn Victor [Recruitment]
Hi!
Sorry it took a bit longer than I thought it would. Would you mind taking a look at my character sheet as I have it so far? I know there are things that need to be fixed with it but I have no idea what to do.

Re: Torn Victor [Recruitment]
So it looks like you've listed the base build and then chosen the US Army Special Forces career. Then you've listed all the sub-specialties of that (Communications through Intelligence). But that's too expensive (it adds up to over 400 points and you only have 380), and in any case the instructions were to pick only one or two specialities. If you can pick your specialties that will help narrow it down. (FWIW, we already have one Advanced Medic and one Intelligence, though you can of course overlap.)
Then you need to list all the languages and cultural familiarities that you want to have. The base build includes: Cultural Familiarity (USA) [0] Language (Native-English) [0] Cultural Familiarity (CHOICE) [1] Language (Native-CHOICE) [6] Language (Accented-CHOICE) [4] And the Special Forces career includes: Add one additional Cultural Familiarity [1] and Language (Accented) [4] of choice I think I recall TheOneRonin saying you could make a language adjustment. Let's see: For the base template, change Native Language English to Hebrew and Cultural Familiarity US to Israel. I'll be fine with letting you add Language: English at Accented level for free. So if you make all those decisions, that'll be a start... |

Re: Torn Victor [Recruitment]
Thanks ammulder. You beat me to it.
Ladyarcana55, I also sent you a PM that explains the same thing as ammulder's post, but with a little more detail. Let me know if you get hung-up or confused on any part of it and I'll be happy to help you out. Based on what I've seen for builds so far, it looks like the team could use the following: -Communications/Electronics Expert -Sniper/Marksman (Weapon's Expert MOS covers this, but so does the Delta career lens) -Combat Engineer Like aamulder said, we already have Intelligence, Criminal Investigation, and Advanced Medic covered. I think Fifiste is going with the Vehicle/Combat Engineer/Driver specialty, so that angle is covered as well. But like we've said, there is nothing wrong with some overlap...especially if the core bases are covered. And the base templates are good enough to make sure everyone can sub in for anything that might be missing in terms of specialty. Also, be sure to read (but not post in) the Torn Victor IC thread if you haven't already. |

Re: Torn Victor [Recruitment]
One more template issue: Cross-Trained is required to be specialized by weapon type. However, it seems like Assaulter Style Familiarity includes Cross-Training for "every gun your style covers in your setting", which is up to you but maybe pistols and assault rifles? Not sure about SMGs or Shotguns? So the actual Cross-Training (Weapon Type) perk can then be used to include weapons outside the style. Not sure which category you'd pick for that.

Considering everyone's background, that means ARs, Pistols, Shotguns, Grenade Launchers, SMGs, and LMGs. I toyed with working on a specific list of small arms that the perk will cover in this game, but I'm not so sure it's really going to be worth the effort. A good rule of thumb is "most NATO and former Soviet Bloc small arms" is what most of the team is going to be familiar with. I'll also probably make some rulings on CFs. For example, if you are the only character with the Latin America CF, you can pick up an Ameli and use it without a familiarity penalty, but anyone else using it would be at a -2. Likewise, if you steal a QBZ-95 off a dead guard, you will be at a -2 unless have CF: East Asian. Does that make sense? |

Combat Engineer and Intelligence. Is there one we need more than the other? Otherwise I'll go for Intelligence. |

Re: Torn Victor [Recruitment]
How is this? Better?
I think I have another 50 points to hit 380. Correct me if I'm wrong. If I do, I'll use it to bump up, or add, a couple of skills. ***** TOTAL POINTS: 300 ST 12 [20] DX 13 [60] IQ 13 [60] HT 12 [20] PER 14 [5] HP 12 [0] WILL 14 [5] FP 12 [0] BS 6.25 [0] Dodge 9 [0] BM(m/s) 6 [0] BASE ADVANTAGES Cultural Familiarity (Isreal) [0] Cultural Familiarity (Radical Islam) [1] Language (Hebrew) [0] Cultural Familiarity (Hebrew) [1] Language (Native-Hebrew) [6] Language (Accented-English) [4] Language (Accented-Arabic) [4] Fit [5] Combat Reflexes [15] Luck [15] Fearlessness Lv 1 [2] Perks/Techniques OTW (Hotwire cars) [1] Robust Hearing [1] Robust Vision [1] SOP(mv under cover) [1] Assaulter Style [1] -CQB (Rifle) [4] -Quick Shot (Pistol) [6] -TA Rifle/Vitals [3] -TA Pistol/Vitals [3] -Battle Drills [1] -Cool Under Fire [1] -Cross trained [1] DISADVANTAGES: Duty (To Isreal) [-20] Secret (Undercover agent)[-20] Code of Honor (Soldier) [-10] Fanatacism (Isreal) [-15] Sense of Duty (Jewish People)[-10] 10 points of DisAds [-10] SKILLS Skill Name Att/Diff Points Rating Acting IQ/A 2 13 Area Knowledge (Isreal) IQ/E 2 14 Area Knowledge (Syria) IQ/E 2 14 Boating (Motorboat) DX/A 1 12 Body Language PER/A 1 13 Camouflage IQ/E 2 14 Climbing DX/A 2 13 Computer Operations IQ/E 1 13 Current Affairs (Choice) IQ/E 2 14 Detect Lies PER/H 1 12 Diplomacy IQ/H 2 12 Disguise IQ/A 1 12 Driving (Auto) DX/A 4 14 Driving (Motorcycle) DX/A 1 12 Electronic Ops (Comms) IQ/A 4 14 Electronic Ops (Surveillance) IQ/A 4 14 Escape DX/H 2 12 Explosives (Demo) IQ/A 1 12 Fast Draw (Ammo) DX/E 2 14 Fast-Draw (Long arm) DX/E 2 14 Fast-Draw (Pistol) DX/E 2 14 Fast-Talk IQ/A 1 12 Filch IQ/A 1 12 First Aid IQ/E 2 14 Forced Entry DX/E 2 14 Gesture IQ/E 2 14 Gunner (Machine Gun) DX/E 1 13 Guns (Grenade Launchers) DX/E 1 13 Guns (LAAW) DX/E 1 13 Guns (LMGs) DX/E 2 15* Guns (Pistols) DX/E 2 15* Guns (Rifles) DX/E 8 16 Guns (Shotgun) DX/E 2 15* Guns (SMGs) DX/E 2 15* Hiking HT/A 4 13 Intel Analysis IQ/H 2 12 Interrogation IQ/A 1 12 Jumping DX/E 1 13 Krav Maga DX/H 8 14 Karate DX/H 8 14 Knife DX/E 1 13 Knot-Tying DX/E 1 13 Leadership IQ/A 1 12 Lip Reading PER/A 1 13 Lockpicking DX/A 1 12 Navigation (Air) IQ/A 1 13* Navigation (Land) IQ/A 4 14 Navigation (Sea) IQ/A 1 13* Observation PER/A 4 15 Parachuting DX/E 2 14 Photography IQ/A 2 13 Pickpocket DX/H 1 11 SCUBA IQ/A 2 13 Search PER/A 2 14 Shadowing IQ/A 2 13 Solider IQ/A 2 13 Stealth DX/A 2 13 Survival (mountains) PER/A 2 14 Survival (dessert) PER/A 2 14 Swimming HT/E 4 14 Tactics IQ/H 8 14 Teaching IQ/A 2 13 Throwing DX/A 2 13 Tracking PER/A 1 13 US Army Special Forces (+12 points): Increase Body Language to 14 [1], Increase Diplomacy to 13 [2], Increase Disguise to 13 [1], Increase Teaching to 14 [2], Add one additional Cultural Familiarity [1] and Language (Accented) [5] of choice, choose up to 2 SF MOS Specialties from the list below, paying the appropriate points for each: (+18 points) Intelligence: Increase Acting to 15 [6], Increase Body Language to 15 [2], Increase Detect Lies to 14 [3], Increase Intel Analysis to 13 [2], Increase Interrogation to 14 [3], Increase Shadowing to 14 [2] |
