[OOC] Metal Joe / Black Ops d20 Modern - FULL!

[Krizzel]

K, I've got this guy updated in the Rogues Gallery thread (Mostly). Sorry kitana, but it's gonnna be Benjamin, not Nikki.

Anyways, I'll post him here(Updated) cuz I need some help with a few things.

1st. I don't have the actual book, I'm going off of friends info and online stuff.. Could someone figure out how encumbered I am?
2nd. I need 3 more languages and 1 more feat... Any suggestions?
3rd. Anything else anybody can notice?

1. I'll stick Zeus into the spreadsheet of doom next (tomorrow during the day, after I finish with Snake) and see what pops out.

2. Gary sounds like he knows what's going on with the languages. Take a look through the rogues gallery and see if we're missing anything. As for feats, the only thing I think of right now is Exotic Weapons (grenade launcher), but I'll think it over some more.

3. How come your hit dice are 5d6 + 1d8? Shouldn't it be 6d6?

[Ashrem Bayle]

Got my attack bonus fixed.

How many Action Points do we have? Also, what should I put for my wealth?

Anything else?

 

[novyet]

Action Points, come to think of it I forgot mine as well. Let me go edit that.

I didn't see helmets in the armor section, though I didn't look around for them either.

Probably I'll just play it as a roleplaying/special circumstances factor. For example, if someone tries to knock you out from behind by hitting you on the head, a helmet might give you a bonus to your Fort save. Similar things. I don't intend for the helmet to be necessary though.

BTW, just got done putting Snake into the spreadsheet and everything looks good at first pass - except the equipment. I got 111 lbs somehow!

I tried to eyeball each section individually then, and I got 3 lbs over in the carried section (did you count your fatigues?), 46.5 total in the vest section (gotta be where the problem is), and spot on for the back pack.

I'll try to figure it out in the morning...I think I'm too tired to right now I'm guessing it might have something to do with the grenades or ammo, but not sure.

Okay, good - helmets aren't Silent Snake's style.

As for my encumberance... I think it must be the grenades. The text said the purchase DC was for 6 grenades. I assumed the weight was as well, but it did seem kinda light. I'll probably ditch some grenades if it's an issue. As for the fatigue weight, I know in D&D worn clothing doesn't count for encumberance. Is that different in Modern?

Yes, you're right - they tucked it in there. So fatigues are effectively weightless as long as you wear them. The mesh vest, and any extra clothes, still count towards encumbrance though.

Looking at the grenades now...

Black Wolf is good to go.

Silent Snake:

Ok, I took out the fatigues and your first section is fine. Last (backpack) section is fine.

For the Mesh Vest section, yeah the grenades messed it up, and I also think the mesh vest got left out. Taking out the grenades (and the walkie talkie which is now built in to your vest) I get 28 pounds:

mesh vest - 7
4 knives - 4
compass - 0.5
GPS/PDA - 1.5
binoculars, rangefinding - 3
8 mags M16 - 4
6 mags M10 - 3
10 mags beretta - 5

With everything else that's 89.5 total. The frag grenades would add 1 lbs each and the smoke grenades are 2 lbs each.

I think you're getting killed by your climbing gear and rope. It does say in the description that the 'gear' can include rope of its own, probably not quite so much though. If you ditch the rope, you'll be good and have a little space to carry some grenades too.

It's also possible that someone else could carry the rope.

What do you think? Is this way too harsh or is it forcing interesting decisions?

edit - Other than this the only thing he needs is a middle name, if he has one.

I personally think that Silent Snake has way too much ammo!

BTW, I've edited my character a little bit.

That's fine, I skipped to Zeus next because he needed some help with the equipment. After that I'm moving along the order they are in the Rogue's Gallery thread, so change to your heart's content until I get to them
