Code of the Burned [FULL]

If you're going to make Patch a rapist, you might as well change his money laundering into drug dealing as well.

@Genni

That's not a bad idea. Drug dealing that is, not chicken restaurants.

I'll downplay the connections for now, Patch'd be high enough up the food chain of drug suppliers not to be someone who'd be easily identified, and it could be used as an interesting plot development for @Dragonite777 later on.

He's also pretty skinny though. I just don't like having short characters. Also he is not that tall.

@Avanhelsing

It's lucky you're dropping the disguise skill, 6'4" would be difficult to hide in most crowds. :)

Since I'm making Patch into our medic, would it be too creepy to change his 'Ladies Man' trait to mention that instead of cyber-stalking girls he just drugs them instead? I wanted him to sound like a bit of a creepy smooth operator before, and making this change would just make him into a serial rapist.

It would certainly explain his disavowance for 'ungentlemanly conduct' a lot more clearly. XD

Looks like it'll be Patch and Jack crawling through the ducts.

@Genni

Just realise, Jack's a good 9" taller than most other people. How the hell's he gonna fit in the airduct!?! :))

@Genni I'd recommend keeping the SMG specialty for Condor. She's probably learnt all about handling those tricky weapons 'on the job', even if she's never had official training with them.

Plus @Avanhelsing beat you to the Athletics and I need to switch out Stealth. :)

Code of the Burned [FULL]

If Angelo's our tech support then I'll switch Patch to an Athletics/Medical character. You'll have to give me a while to play around with his back story and other characteristics a little though, wouldn't want an Uneducated doctor messing around with my wobbly bits.

Code of the Burned [FULL]

The way I understand the changes in skills available runs like this:

Combat skills

• Shotgun Proficiency
• SMG Proficiency
• Pistol Proficiency
• Assault Rifles Proficiency
• Martial Arts Proficiency

Physical Skills

• Stealth
• Toughness

Technical Skills

• Tech Savvy/Hacking
• Gadgetry
• Conversationalist/Psychology
• Medical Knowledge

I'd suggest adding 'Athletics' to the Physical Skills set, to differentiate it from Stealth, which should then give @Avanhelsing the option to make a stealthy character who can get in anywhere while not being combat orientated. If you classed Lockpicking as a Stealth ability rather than a Tech Savvy one this would also help.

Making Patch Athletic/Tech might be worthwhile too, since he wouldn't be able to sneak around much, but would be able to climb in though a second storey window if required. :)

Code of the Burned [FULL]

@Dragonite777 If you'd like to go for Stealth/Tech I'm more than willing to switch out Patch for a Conversationalist/Medic, just as long as he gets to sleep in a tent called the Swamp and drink martinis whenever he isn't operating. :)

Patch is turning out to be a watered-down version of Keshik, and without being able to join the fight there isn't much he could do that Keshik couldn't do instead. I think I mistook the RP for more of a spy story rather than a Mission Impossible one.

Just need to think of a way to supercharge Benjamin 'Hawkeye' Pierce so he can keep up with the others. :D

Code of the Burned [FULL]

@Genni It'd be better to keep Condor as she is and have the medic take over from Patch instead. With Keshik playing as a stealth/tech/sniper, Patch's more subtle techniques won't fit the story while Condor can still be useful as both a diversion and backup, should things not go as planned.

In the interest thread I deliberately avoided giving Patch marksmanship skills, but now that everyone else seems to be going for them he'll be worthless during the game. If we let Keshik take over the comms support role, as he was trained to according to his bio, then switching Patch for a medic would make more sense.

I could even keep the same code name, since he'd be patching the squad rather than patching enemy hardware.

The Tavern

Would anyone be interested in a simple tavern roleplay where adventurers could gather to trade stories of their quests?

It could be a nice way to set-up characters out of any specific adventure and form parties for other roleplays, or just a place to hang back and make wild claims of previous success.

Code of the Burned [FULL]

I see your point.

With both Keshik and Angelo having tech savvy skills they wouldn't really need a specialist like Patch on the team either, he'd just be sneaking around behind them and watching as they do his job for him. I might have to also step out if that's the case.

Everyone wants to be James Bond, no-one wants to be Q.

@Dragonite777 What's your call on the line-up so far GM?

Code of the Burned [FULL]

@Genni I'm a stealth hacker who likes to plant stun bombs, none of the others are like me. :D
