Be a Ranger! Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune (Re-recruiting)

[Dr Simon]

Is the scenario coming across as too vague? It runs very differently to how it is written, if that makes sense.

I think I'll retro it so that Kevin the Ranger follows the Grome spy, leaving the rest of you to deal with Sethyk the Cascor, owner of T-Kat Trade and Buy. You have a choice - straight through the front door, or ask around the (seedy) neghbourhood for further clues. The party has the following talents: an intimidating demeanour, a Minbari fighting pike, l33t hacking skills, powerful telepathy and a bad smell

 

[Walking Dad]

I'm the one with the bad smell

(and hacking)

 

[Shayuri]

The current section isn't vague. I guess I just felt awkward with 2 of 4 players posting.

Sorry...I'll get back on it.

 

[Dr Simon]

Since Jemal has had to cut his gaming right back, I'm offering up his Ranger character to anyone who wants to join in. You can even get a little solo adventure to begin with.

See first post for further details.

I've got the B5 rules, but have not yet upgraded to 2nd Edition.

May I apply?

 

[Dr Simon]

I've got the B5 rules, but have not yet upgraded to 2nd Edition.

May I apply?

Sure.

Main differences between 1st and 2nd Ed:

Some skills have been combined, see uptopic for a list somewhere.

Classes and races have been re-jigged to make them a bit more robust all round.

Introduction of the "Influence" mechanic that allows your character to requisition favours from governments and other organisations, plus throw your weight around.

Space combat and telepathy have been completely overhauled.

Most of this shouldn't prove problematic, I don't think Shayuri and Walking Dad have any copy of the rules.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Okay, being that you don't want another teep I'm going to for Human Officer, multiclass Scientist.
I'll need to know differences between 1E & 2E Officer before proceeding (class skills).

STR 10, DEX 12, CON 10, INT 16, WIS 13, CHA 10

 

[Dr Simon]

1. Initial hit points have changed, I'll have to look up what to.
2. Yes. Initial P-rating is 2d4-2. Teeps now get a bonus feat at level one, but you can forgo that to add 6 to P-rating.
3. Yes. Most classes now have more skill points. The 1st Ed. method of trading skill points for P-rating range has changed (see above).

However, I think I'd prefer it if you came up with a character that wasn't too similar to one of the existing characters. In a four person team, it pays to be a bit more rounded, I think.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

My Character

Please give this a look over as it is done with 1E rules. I integrated as much as I could from your previous posts regarding 2E (I've decided that Santa will be gifting 2E to me for Christmas).

Please note, I am not gunning to cause a problem with having piloting skills I just thought that if Sarhat was injured to the point where he couldn't take the ship up/out, that a secondary pilot would be a boon. My character is the brainy type, with a focus on sciences, knowledges and medicine.

I just need to get my equipment done, which I'll do later.

Once you approve my character I'll move it over to the Rogue's Gallery.
