[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 7999414, member: 23935"] Way back in time I ran something similar in a modern setting. Based on Mission Impossible (the TV series not the movie franchise), where each player built 3+ PC specialists and a team was assembled to run the mission by a designated team lead (it rotated among the players). Two things became apparent very quickly. 1) The players had consistent preferences for modus operandi and thus wanted a particular set of skills generally consistently leading to particular PCs being used. 2) Each player quickly developed a favorite PC and advocated playing that one. 1 and 2 were somewhat in conflict as the favorites didn't hit all the specialties particularly well, but that was solved with some xp expenditure. A third issue was system-specific: Players had differing levels of system mastery and some PCs were simply more competent than others. Ultimately, it wasn't my most successful campaign. The players were less engaged with their PCs and the PCs were less engaged with each other. [/QUOTE]
