Stat the A-Team

[JPL]

Y'know what would be a great one-shot? THE A-TEAM.

Let's assume 10th - 12th level.

Hannibal.

Face.

Murdock.

B.A.

[No Frankie, Amy, etc.]

And if extra players show up...who else? Magnum? MacGyver? Hulk Hogan?

 

[Ambrus]

I'd be afraid of being forcefully corrected by Mr. T if I stated B.A. as anything less than epic. "I pity da fool!" who tries.

Ah, the good old "stat a famous fictional character"-thread. I like them, even if they are pointless.

I just give some levels and classes, don't have time for details

Hannibal: Smart8/Tough2/Charismatic2
- He is the man with the plan, so obviously he must be smart.
- He is also quite tough and is good at brawling, so either Strong or Tough. I tend to go for Tough.
- I don't know where to put his Disguise skill, so he might need a few levels in Charismatic Hero. (But maybe he just took some cross class ranks, or a good starting profession.)

Face: Charismatic8/Fast4
- He, his name is Face. He must be a Smart Hero.
- He isn't exactly strong or tough, but he is a good shot, and is rarely hit, so he must be a fast hero

Mr.T: Strong8/Tough4
- He is big and strong. What else should he be than a Strong Hero?
- Obviously, he is also tough.

Mad Murdock: Dedicated6/Fast6
- He is so mad that he can make up things and believes in him, so he must have some kind of Faith ability.
- He is also the team's pilot, so he must have some fast levels.

For extra players, I can only offer McGuyver
McGuyver: Smart8/Charismatic2/Fast2.
- He is incredibly smart and can make anything out of anything.
- He has some people skills.
- He is a good pick pocket and stealthy, but not perfect.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Hulk Hogan
Tough 5 / Strong 4 / Charismatic 3
-He's is a natura leader (so he has high charisma).
-He needs the ability surge class ability so he could "Hulks up"
-He needs a feat that does something like second wind which he tends to use in conjunction with his Ability Surge.

One thing I liked about d20 Modern was that the base classes seemed to all be inspired by the A-Team.

The A-Team seems very close to a regular RPG adventuring party.
Each team-member has a primary role in the team, and without him, the team would be very weak. And alone, each team member won't last long...
Mr.T's aversion against flying is also a good example for a character flaw that a player would take to get some mechanical advantages (maybe in exchange for a higher strength?). The way the A-Team handles it is pretty close to how any adventuring party would do it.



Even the hit point mechanis (but not the massive damage threshold mechanics) seem to apply i the A-Team - or did you ever see someone suffering deadly hits from all the bullets in the air?

Great thread! ... never woulda thought of it maself admittedly.

Ya know everyone goes with Mr T being Strong/Tough but they forget the Smart part. BA is a highly skilled mechanic (which I suppose could be Background occupation and feat choices (eg Jury Rig))

- remember the pumpkin canon?

We played a brief d20 Future campaign where the GM got me to stat up the characters for everyone else.

I essentially made the A-Team, and then waited to see if anyone noticed
