[Spycraft] The A-Team

[Psychotic Dreamer]

Don't forget that despite the six quadzillion[*] rounds of ammunition fired during the life of the show, no-one ever got killed, or even hit.

From this, we can deduce that everyone in the A-team has BAB of -10 or thereabouts. Or perhaps they had the Staged Fighting feat from Bastion's Ink & Quill download, that lets you convert all damage taken to subdual.

Or they were so good they managed not to kill anyone.

dpmcalister why would you consider Face to be a Face/Fixer?

Well, the Faceman for obvious reasons, but the Fixer because of the number of times that Face managed to acquire (or procure) stuff for the team during the series (boats, cars, homes, etc).

Still, doesn't that mean they were in the army? I mean...Hannibal was a colonel. That would imply that they had at least some military training...hence the few levels in soldier for each of them.

''Soldier'' is just a name for a class. It's the Fighter class of the Spycraft world.

You could have a PC who was in the army and does not have a single level in the soldier class.

And you could have a PC of the soldier class who never was in the army.

I don't know the A-Team serie, but couldn't he have acquired this stuff through contacts? The Backup class ability (to borrow equipment from old acquanitance) or plain old gather information (to locate what you need) can explain much.

The procure class ability assumes the Fixer is getting in touch with his agency.

Game Control: You don't know about the A-team?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Red alert! Red Alert! We must do something about this terrible crisis!!!

Seriously, if you never heard of them, they were from 1983-1987, and were adventureful, hour-long romps where the main characters were tough guys with hearts of gold, and were fascinating characters.

If you get the TVLand channel, they appear in reruns.

Game Control, from which planet do you come from?

Even I, living in Germany, East Frisia, do know the A-Team

Well, the youth today (or maybe the elder generations?)...

Thank god for the fx channel out here. I love that show! Between Macgyver and the A-Team who can go wrong?

 

[Game Control]

Well, I do know that it involves Mr. T and that he has much pity for fools but that's about it.

It never was a hit in Quebec and I never saw an episode.

I get my McGyver fix from the Chicago cable station (WGN) and A-Team via TVLand. I nearly died when I found out TVLand was running a weekend marathon of it last summer.

Y'all seem to have forgotten BAs ability to fabicate all those wierd and wonderful Rube Goldberg type weapons/vehicles I mean who can forget the cabbage gun ? Gotta be a feat in that, and McGyver has it too of couse.
