Hey Blackrat, I'd like to work toward getting the Burst Fire feat for Damon, but it has (IMO) the ridiculous prerequisit of having a 13 WIS (which makes no sense to me). Any chance you'd be willing to wave that prereq?

Hmm... I started wirh building out my character (Gitane Le Rouge) and I'm starting to wonder if I should even make her a charismatic class since skill wise she'll step on Solomon's toes because as a fixer, she'd have to be good at diplomacy, gather info, and to some extent bluffing.

Luckily, feats would be totally different (I was planning on giving her urban tracking and maybe trustworthy or low profile).

Her features were going to be Charm and Favor.

Sounds like a good plan. Charismatic is great for the fast-talker type.

Oh right. Yeah, that sounds okay. Can't figure out that prereq myself either. Dex or Str req would be more logical, but I don't feel like thinking it over so I'll just wave the prereq.

Still up for the game?

I don't know, there's always use for another gun, as well as someone with actual hand to hand training. The group also lacks a pure sneak.

Oh, Dr. Simon. At start you roll 2d4 for your wealth and add he occupation bonus. If you take ranks in profession you get extra +1 wealth bonus. It's easily forgotten as the rule is hidden somewhere illogical in the book, and even more so in the SRD but I'll try to locate it...

EDIT: Oh, there it is... Right under the Wealth section . At least in SRD...

So as I said, completely illogical place

Thanks Blackrat. I'd found it, but haven't gotten round to rolling yet. Am I right in thinking that you said we could Take 20 for purchases of starting equipment?
Edit: I hate Invisible Castle! I wasn't planning on him owning a lot of stuff, but... a roll of 2!


I don't mind another Charismatic, the two seem to have fairly different focuses. Solly is more about avoiding trouble than knowing the right person. But if Relique is going for this concept, I'll keep the medical aspect of Solly.

Heheh. You can roll that again .

And yeah, you can take 20 for initial purchases.

::laughs:: Avoid trouble? Is that even possible? I see Gitane as being sort of a proto femme fatale type. When she wants something she doesn't deceive to get it, she instead tries to manipulates her way into obtaining it. And when she's caught, she either calls up favors of flirts/manipulates her way out of the situation. (I'm thinking she is the renegade daughter of someone important and ended up picking up a life of crime as a hobby rather then for survival purposes. Yeah, she's spoiled, entitled, selfish and extremely chaotic).

As adventurers, no. That could make life extremely vexing for Solly...

Re: Wealth.
Thank you, oh great GM. This time I rolled a 7, +2 for occupation, for a 9 in total.

And put 1 rank in profession and you get +1 more and at least +1 with every level up

What's Damon? Chop liver? He has combat martial arts and melee smash...he just prefers a gun.

Perhaps later, at the moment I see him as someone who hasn't really applied himself to anything enough to warrant a profession.

Equipment is up - wealth reduced by 1 for each purchase above its value (Card comp. and shockstick). I couldn't find details for a penknife, but I trust some sort of multitool/utility blade is acceptable; also the Compact feature for the medikit.

Damon is mostly updated, but I do need to buy a few things for him. I guess I need to make his level 3 wealth check.

Also, or those of us that "completed" the first adventure...was there some bonus wealth?

I was originally thinking Dilettante since having the ability to get Gamble as a class skill is pretty fun (even if it's one class short compaired to heire). The Education requirement of the Heire is a little iffy.

Can living off Daddy's inheritance be a profession?

No seriously, I gave gitane several ranks of profession. I'm not sure what she does besides for her bored excursions into lawlessness, but I figure that she uses her resources (*cough* Favors and Daddy's influence *cough*) to earn her a living.

The nice thing about Modern is you don't have to specify what exactly your profession is.

Well, chatting it up with Relique has given me what I need to know about Gaetana's background and the character is up in the RG as is Dr. Simon's. Cnosos needs to be updated to lvl 3, if you are still with us Voda . I'll take a look through of the RG and would like to hear from ethandrew still, but we are starting to be set.

Oh, and of wealth. From selling the salvaged tech that you don't need yourself, Cnosos, Mel and Damon got enough to raise your wealth by 1
