[QUOTE="nobodez, post: 3620281, member: 3970"] Well, Bruce Willis is 52 years old, so I'd peg McClane as 52 as well. That's Middle Age. He admitted that, as a hero, he's had lots of experience. So, that puts him in the "Middle Age (high experience)" level bracket. That means I, if I were going to play him or put him in as an NPC, would start at about 8th level. Perhaps 10th at most. He's got the Law Enforcement occupation, with Intimidate and Knowledge (tactics) as class skills, and Personal Firearms Proficiency as a bonus feat. I'd stat him out as a heroic NPC, so that gives me 25 point buy. Strength 13 Dexterity 12 Constitution 14 Intelligence 12 Wisdom 12 Charisma 10 sure he's got no dump stats, but then again, he's a hero. He's got at least 1 tough level (remain conscious), and probably has the Tough Plus feat to also get Second Wind and DR 1/-. He's got at least 1 fast level (evasion) He's got at least 1 smart level and Smart Plus because he's got the Trick talent (so he's probably also got Savant in Navigate and Search). He's also got at least 1 charismatic level (fast talk), and probably more to make it a higher bonus. So, i've got a, in no particular order, Tough X/Fast Y/Smart Z/Charismatic Ω character of at least 8th level. A good mix would be T2/F2/S2/C2. He's got a BAB of +4, which is a little low, a defense of +8, which is decent, a reputation of +3, which is good enough, and three of his four level based feats accounted for. I'd make the final one heroic surge, because, well, he's John McClane! And make him 9th level (Tough 3), give him the Stamina talent, and the Jack of All Trades feat. So, John's a Tough 3/Fast 2/Smart 2/Charismatic 2 hero with the Tough Plus, Fast Plus, Smart Plus, Heroic Surge, and Jack of All Trades feats, the Personal Firearms Proficiency occupational bonus feat, and the Point Blank Shot, Lightning Reflexes, Endurance, and Vehicle Expert class bonus feats. He's got assorted ranks across the board, from drive, to pilot, to disable device, to intimidate (lots of intimidate), to Knowledge (tactics), and tumble. [/QUOTE]
