20 according to me, without windfall: 5+3 from occupation, +2 from profession=10

And yes, you are worrying too much about it.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
Are you saying 5 +3 +2 = 10 and then multiply the 10 by 2 to get 20 ?

Or are you saying 5 +3 +2 = 10 at first level and then another +2 for each level from 2nd level to 6th level to give another +10 and that would be a total of 20 ?

Both of those were done with NO Windfall. So one Windfall of +3 would push it to 23 wealth, right?

Billy's background (work in progress)

[sblock=Background]

Background:
Growing up Billy had a tendency to lie. He knew it was wrong but he enjoyed getting the information he needed and wanted. Most of his bigger problems in High School were avoided due to this talent he had.

During the college years is where Billy's form started to take a defined shape. As a part time job he worked for the local pawn shop. He was the negotiator for the business to make sure they saved as much money as possible buying stolen goods from people. Not the typical, glorious college student job but it paid the bills and Billy didn't care. He was good at what he did.

He was very successful at the pawn shop. The shop never made as much money or retained money like the did while Billy was working there. During his college years and work at the pawn shop Billy became good friends with the local police force. One of his best contacts Greg turned into a good friend and one day Greg and a couple more officers approached Billy and talked to him about joining the force and working his way up to be in hostage rescues. Billy didn't know right away what he wanted to do but thought about the possibilities over the next few days and decided to check in to it.

Billy trained up and was accepted into the SWAT detail. This is where his career path accelerated. Before he knew it he was lead hostage negotiator for his force with a high success rate. This led him from the local police force to the State police. Billy stayed at this level for a couple more years.

One day he was approached by a team of suits to have a meeting about his abilities. During this meeting they explained who they represented and what they did. They knew all about Billy and his success rate and skills. They explained that a new venture was forming and they wanted to have Billy head up this new organization.

Billy and his family were moved to a new country, given new identities and watched their old lives disappear in to the flames.

Great failedreality, the concept is beautiful, leaves me with a lot to work with.


I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
Are you saying 5 +3 +2 = 10 and then multiply the 10 by 2 to get 20 ?

Or are you saying 5 +3 +2 = 10 at first level and then another +2 for each level from 2nd level to 6th level to give another +10 and that would be a total of 20 ?

Both of those were done with NO Windfall. So one Windfall of +3 would push it to 23 wealth, right?

*Sigh* I mistyped twice! Can you believe it? It's 15 not 5. I wanted characters to start with high wealth. Sorry, my mistake.

VV: Do you want the British Secret Service to be Realistic and Gritty like John Le Carré's "Smiley's People" or high-tec, glamorous and slightly fantasy, as in James Bond. The major difference in game play would be Percy's ability to requisition from Q Branch. BTW. Percy is more of a young, upper-class George Smiley type rather than a James Bond type.
 

Voda Vosa

First Post
Something like the first, but more pulp, if Percy is going to be a George Smiley type.

Also: I'll be opening a RG tomorrow, so have the final modifications to your characters done as soon as posible.

F.Messiah , failedreality: What's about your characters?

Rhun: Still interested?
