1936 - Pulp Heroes

Oh. totally forgot about that. Okay, everyone can have extra 150xp. That way, since you're prolly 2nd level scientist (?) you could have a 1st level (60xp) invention and a few 0th level (30xp), or couple of 1st levels.



Sorry to hear it.


I just got my artsy gf convinced that it would be cool if she helped me with visualization of this game. So she's gonna make an Indy-style poster of this. I deliberately gave her very vague descriptions of your characters and permision to use artistic freedom so they prolly won't look much like you imagined them, but let's face it, casting is never perfect . The actors rarely look the way the writers would want.

Oh oh, I want to have a big mustache, and long untidy hair, mostly grey. ^^

Lotka is ready, only needs equipment and inventions, but in order to do so, I need to clarify the wealth.
I got 2d4 base wealth, +3 for been academic, +8 for profession, + lvl advancement. My question is, is this ok? and how to calculate the last item.
Then I'll make the rolls and get over with it. I'll post a previous version now.

Wealth starts at 10 for your level, then you add your occupation wealth, your ranks in profession, and any bonus from the Windfall feat. It comes from chart 7-2 in the d20 Modern book, which apparently is modified by +2 since we're PCs and not NPCs.

10+3+8+3= 24.
Woa

Considering that Elizabeth does work for her dad, would it be feasible for her and Murphy to have whatever equipment they need for the job at hand? Within reason of course. He'd want her reasonably well equipped for any kind of mission he sends her on.

Hey, she doesn't have any ranks in Profession...her father probably doesn't really have a handle on anything that she's doing as really valuable, or else he's being unduly punitive as a "life lesson" when he says "No, you can't take the speedboat to investigate the ruins in the Amazon." Or maybe Elizabeth is still horribly in debt from past adventures?

 

[kirinke]

Heh, like I said, she's his agent. So if she's investigating things on his watch, then.....

But a speedboat? A bit much.

I'm thinking reasonable things. She's not gonna take advantage of it.

Could I have an xp debt? I consider that after 20 years of work, Lotka must have something else than 3 inventions, I could use another 150 xp, and when he gets xp, he will gain it after paying the 150xp he used. Could I? please ? ^^

It might be coolest to say "I'm the Department of Agriculture's top man" and make it somewhat of a mysterious joke.

Yeh. It would be cool for him to officially belong to some completely non-spy Department, that just happens to have secret agents, doing stuff their department officially has no deal in.

Well considering she has wealth 16, she can get almost anything anyway, and guardians do have their own supplies. So yeah. Anything below DC 14 and is legal, is definetly available and doesn't drop her wealth anyway.

Well, you don't need a debt. I'll just give everyone extra 300xp instead of 150. I'm being generous today .

Hurray! More inventions to me! (^o^)
