[QUOTE="payn, post: 9493010, member: 90374"] There is nothing the character can do in this system except heal in downtime? The adventure needs nothing from a medic whatsoever? No knowledge/skill checks? Outside of being a medic this character has no aspirations or abilities? I have run into some folks who let the system entirely dictate the worth of their character. If they dont get XP for it, they dont do it. If there isnt a mechanical binary check system; they dont do it. Adventure also means combat and if you are not combat built you are a waste of space. Of course, it takes two to bring about this perception. If GMs dont offer you opportunities, then I can see why everything outside the schtick is a dead end. That sounds like bait and switch or the GM just gave up on the concept after kick off. I'd just make sure in the future to really dig into session zero before playing so this doesnt happen. Or, you can just make bland warriors as insurance against such I guess. A celebrity would know people I assume. They would also make a really good distraction, if folks needed one. Open doors by their fame, not their mechanical skill. I think characters need to think outside the box for opportunity sake. What did you have in mind when you made a wealthy celebrity PC? [/QUOTE]
