[Grim Tales] Slavelords Of Cydonia [full]

PC Data revised/updated on the first page...I think I got everything except for my little black book...er, medical journal...yeah, that's it !

As far as skill mix goes, while it is important to have a good mix of skills, I think it is more important to play something you will get into (IMO). Brigitta can at least find stuff (Search +8) and Pick Locks (Disable Device +11)...but she isn't much good at sneakin' around !

Alright. Almost done. I just lack one feat. Any suggestions? I was leaning toward Mounted Shot, but I think I want one that's more in line with is 'new life.'

NOTES: I bumped DEX with the picture bonus. I noted the Empathy bonus with skills but didn't add it in since it's conditional (more to remind myself than anything). Added the untrained with synergy skills so I could remember them too. I added a .22 pepperbox pistol, but not sure what the stats on that would be. One of those shoot and run kinda guns when things get tight.

Do we used action points to activate any Talent? Or did I misunderstand?

Solomon Cane's short bio should be the template you all follow. It is short, yet descriptive, without tying my hands.

I would like for everyone to have their characters finalized today, and please post the final version to the latter parts of this thread with FINAL: (YOUR CHARACTER NAME) in the subject-- just to make sure I grab exactly the right one.

I'm looking forward to getting started.

I've allowed others to have a larger (d6) Bowie knife, which you can also have, if you want. This blade seems a little shorter and might be easier to conceal.

I should also mention you'll all have machetes before we start...

Is a machete a simple weapon?

I'd say it would have to be. That will probably mean its profile should be something like this:

1d6, 19-20, x2. (Size M, slashing)

Solomon, one minute your pics are there, the next minute they're gone.

Are you still looking for a good pic?

Just editing on the fly.

If you use just one on character sheet, use the first one (jpg title "...-1").

Edit: Found a good mini, still looking for a decent image, but the minin captures him well.

Fenris, in a pinch, I can deal with the mini-- but I would prefer a picture.

How's this guy grab you?

(And yes, you'll probably be a Colour Sergeant... fits the Tough/Charismatic profile, I think!)

I am sure if you do some google image searching you can find more vets of Rourke's Drift, in particular, that will be well suited to what you want.

This guy's a bit ponce for my tastes.

Heck, that whole website is dedicated to 19th century photography. Everybody could probably find something there.
