[Grim Tales/Modern/D&D] Fire and Fury - accepting alts (6/6)

[Lord_Raven88]

Zach looks good, and it looks like the team has two doctors (Mr. Prez has been working on one as well). I call this no bad things, especially given two other team members have already picked up injuries...

Is there really a need for 2 doctors?

If you want I can make another character, let me know if you want to do this, and if you have any suggestions.

My first thoughts for a new character would be a Physicist of some sort, perhaps someone who had conducted some research with the Scientist that discovered how to travel to this other dimension.

You know, there's lots of different routes you can go with the 'doctor' schtick. You MDs, Surgeons, EMTs (emergency medical techs), Nurses, & Corpsmen (medically-trained sodliers) to name a few.

As far as other brainy types go: Biologists, Naturalists, Geologists, Physicists, & Chemists would all have an interest in seeing new world.

Also, no one here is a machinist (well, I can build/repair firearms) or a mechanic... though I'm not sure how useful thet would be.

Dude, 14 damage taken in my first round of combat. Brutal. I hate monsters.

That'll teach you for attacking two manticores then. Also it's not my Dr can give you a Potion of Cure Serious Wounds or anything, you'll still have to heal at the good old fashioned way (but twice as fast)

Um I guess it would help if I could see Mr Prez character sheet, then I'd know if there is to much of a cross over between the two Doctors, as I really don't want to me a poor mans cousin.

Either way, the point may be moot anyway, you might all die in the first encounter which will mean that my character gets munched on while he is still knocked out.

Heh, and while you were flat footed as well. I would apologise for rolling a 3 for your initiative...

but I won't. After all, what's the point in being GM if you can't spear the PCs on occassion?

Here's a preview of Prez's character sheet - I know from another game that he's having PC problems at the moment, making his posting a bit erratic.

So, still subject to minor alteration:

Background Information:

Ever since he was a young boy in Boston, Richard Robins knew he wanted to help people. He figured the best way to do that was to become a doctor. Unfortunately, the sons of mechanics and schoolteachers aren't able to afford medical school. Fortunately, the Navy is. Setting aside his dreams of having a small town practice, Doc is a happy career Navy doctor.


Appearance:

Doc is a tall, thin man with salt-and-pepper hair and keen blue eyes. He has a ready smile, a hearty laugh, and a twinkle in his eye. He has recently begun gaining a little extra weight around his middle.

Oops. Sorry about the formatting on that one: I'll take it out once Prez posts the final version.

Anyway, as you can see the two characters are quite different in feel (or at least I think they are). Zack is very much a field medic as far as I can make out (young, kicks butt with the best of them, stops you bleeding to death) who can also function as a researcher/carer as back up, while Richard is the kindly old man who can cure anything (and still kick a little butt when really needed...).

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Yep, my guy is a poor mans cousin to Mr Prez's character.

Back to the drawing board.

Rank? Hmm... well looking at the responsibilities of ranks... I'd guess that Gabriel would be a Captain or less. Anything higher and you tend to not do field missions anymore (according to my limited amount of info).

1st Liutenate is for newbies... 2nd LT or Captain then. I guess it really depends on Maynn. I'll take a Captain's rank unless there are any objections (I'm equally okay with 2nd LT).

Sorry, meant to comment on this and failed completely. All of the ranks people have picked so far look fine, and I have no problem with Gabriel ranking as Captain.

 

[Mavnn]

Is the needlegun and tracer needles allowed? It's basically for tracking purposes - not really a weapon per se. If not, can I substitute some sort of tracking device?

Oops. Missed this. Yes, that's fine: I'm assuming the needle gun does no damage, just fires a trackable 'bug' at the target?
