[QUOTE="Committed Hero, post: 1974926, member: 15341"] Both ideas sound great. [URL=http://daumen.home.mindspring.com/bluegray.html]Here[/URL] is a site with the house rules I have used in this setting. I think that everything is up to date, but if you have questions or something doesn't work please let me know. As far as chargen, you can select up to three backgrounds to your character, rather than one, as a way of showing his history (for example, I had a player with a farmboy type who picked Rural-Military-Police to show his journey to the FBI). Each background has certain perks you can purchase. Special Agents are issued either a .38 Official Police revolver or a .38 Colt Super Auto if you prefer a semiautomatic pistol. Agents on violent crime duty can requisition a S&W .357 Magnum; there are plenty of other heavier items in the FBI armory you might get your hands on later.... Candide, if you go the PI route and select Detective as a background, you can get several "connections" to people in the city which are basically ways to get favors. I haven't fleshed out this stuff but we can talk about it if you want some specific guidelines. Finally, each character has a starting Personality score of 3, divided into Career and Empathy (one will be 2 and the other 1, though you can raise these at the beginning with some Feats). When you encounter sanity-affecting things you can't shrug off, you'll have to choice between lowering one of these scores or taking some kind of disadvantage that hurts some other ability. Don't take skill ranks in Profession or Computer Use! Post your chars whenever you want. [/QUOTE]
