[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 1787972, member: 1165"] Any of you grunts want to stat soldiers based on your basic training? I guess I'm reluctant to "beef" up soldiers with a lot of multiclassing :) But giving sergeants Soldier levels makes as much sense as giving them Charismatic levels. Hmm... Tough Soldier (Strong Ordinary 1/Tough Ordinary 1): CR 1; Medium Humanoid (human); HD 1d8+1d10+4, hp 14, Mas 14, Init +2, Spd 25 ft., Def 20 (+2 Dex, +2 class, +6 tactical vest); BAB +1, Grap +3, Atk assault rifle +3 ranged (2d8); S/R 5 ft./5 ft.; AL military unit or varies; SV Fort +4, Ref +2, Will +1; AP 0, Rep +0; Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 8. Occupation: Military (class skills: Climb, Knowledge (tactics); bonus feat: Personal Firearms Proficiency) Skills: Climb +1*, Drive +3, Hide +0*, Intimidate +1, Jump -2*, Listen +1, Knowledge (tactics) +3, Profession +3, Spot +2, Swim -7*. Feats: Armor Proficiency (light, medium), Personal Firearms Proficiency. Possessions: as 1st world soldier. I think this is a more accurate representation of a "green" soldier. Now to do higher level and heroic versions. Also works great with some kinds of mutations, IMO :D Plus combat veteran (NCO), charismatic sergeant (NCO) and so forth. Sorry, but making every soldier take specific AdCs and PrCs doesn't thrill me. A lot of the time I'm just looking for mooks rather than "real characters" (tm). Real characters are the heroes and main villains. I don't use Spycraft but I did take a few things from the book, like chase rules and about 10 pieces of equipment. Some Spycraft fans wrote a huge list of NPCs here: [url]http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=804&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0[/url] They're nice, but the profusion of classes make me glad I play D20 Modern instead.
