any char creation rules? point buy, rolled or something else?


Hmm a tunnelrat would probably be a better explorer or pointman fit, with a focus on hand to hand and small arms, they didnt spend time outdoors but underground. Those guys were tough bastards small in stature but big in bravery.


Other than the Campaign Traits, I'm not changing the character creation rules. At least as far as I know. Standard rules are the everyone gets eight points on each attribute, and then gets 36 points to spend on them.

gotcha, just checking! to the build!


After looking at things, I'm gonna be an intruder


Here's what I have so far snoop

I still have a few holes to fill.

I'm a bit confused on the skills/focus/forte thing.

My points are going into the skills. Each of which has several uses.
Where are the focus and forte coming from?


If you've played D&D 3.x or d20 Modern or whatever, it's like the Knowledge, Craft, Profession, and Perform skills. So you could take Culture (North America) or something. Fortes, IIRC, are similar, except they are more specific.


Tamilius has it correct. Focus is a specialization within a skill, forte is a specialization within a focus

-Posted with Wayfinder


I know the specialiation part, I didn't if every skill required specialization.

Can I take points in Athletics, or do the points have to be in Athletics(Jump)?

From what I could tell, If I have Athletics, I could then spend a point to take a Focus of Athletics(Jump)?


Ah.. only Cultures, Drive, Profession, and Science require Focus.

-Posted with Wayfinder


I'm just double checking on the purchasing of them. .

-Posted with Wayfinder


You can take points in Athletics by itself. You start with a certain number of focus points to spend on skills. They are not ranks. You can choose to turn a focus into a Forte by spending one of your focus points.

Here's my character so far:

Gifted Spec Ops Intruder 2

Attributes:

str 12
dex 18
con 12
int 12
wis 13
cha 10

Class/Origin Special Abilities:

•Once per session, you may decrease the overland travel time of any 1 trip to 3/4 standard (rounded down).

Dextrous
Each time you spend 1 action die to boost a Dexterity-based skill check, you roll and add the results of 2 dice (e.g. a Level 1 Intruder’s bonus of 1d4 becomes 2d4).

Gear prep
You always seem to have the best tools for the job at hand. At Level 1, during the Intel Phase, you or any of your teammates may choose a number of mission gear picks equal to your starting action dice as if the mission’s Caliber were 1 higher. If the mission is Caliber V, you may instead choose the same number of additional Caliber I mission gear picks of any type.

Evasion I
You can escape many sources of immediate harm. At Level 2, whenever you aren’t flat-footed and may make a Reflex save to reduce the damage suffered from an attack or event (such as an explosion or successful grenade attack), you instead suffer no damage with a successful save.

Skills:

Acrobatics r5

Feats:

Mingling Basics, Garotte Basics


So far we have...

fnord72- Snoop
Vrog- Intruder, though you should be level 3, not 2...
Tamilius- faceman? your link doesn't seem to be working for me
Zerombr- ?
Insnare- pointman?
Backlashtwitch-?

Feel free to correct these as you guys finish up. Looking to get started Monday or so.


It's late now, but I'll put the info in an Alias tomorrow ^_^


This is the character for Insnare.
I picked forest for his training but he did more work in the jungle and the bushveld or savannah... which is more of a mix between forest and desert so i picked forest, I hope that is ok.

okay, i'll get him levelled up tomorrow.


Here.

alias starting momentarily!


Reporting for Duty.

Vitality 2d10 + 1d12 ⇒ (8, 9) + (1) = 18 Vitality

Haven't gotten to my focuses/languages/proficiencies, but that'll be soon.


So once Vrog is done, will that be all of us?

The Exchange

I poked my friend to get his done, we'll see.


I daresay Natalie and Jason are going to have to work together a lot. Looks like we've got most of the social side down!


OH MY GOD! I forgot to add my Charisma bonus to my Wealth and NOW I HAVE 9 LIFESTYLE! I'm sticking with my original house and vehicle picks, though, until I level up and can get to Lifestyle 10 :D You should probably stick with real negotiations, and I can take the lying, bluff, impersonation, ect. TBH, from the looks of it, you'll easily outpace my character in terms of charming, but I guess we won't know until the game starts.


Here i thought I was too focused with a 7 lifestyle! Someone's got to have spending cash though!

Also, never played this before so I appreciate pointers and thoughts.


I imagine Snake looking somewhere between Grant Ward and Neal Caffrey, BTW.


Okay guys, unless my math is horrible, I have three aliases I am going over right now, Jason Ward, Natalie Burns and Timothy Smith.

@Natalie- Not seeing much of a background, so I hope you don't my doing some improve on my part for your pre-opening scene.

I am going to go ahead and post the opening scene for all of you shortly and the others can jump in when they're ready.

Looking great so far guys!


Aye, the background is the next step for me. I'll have one up soonish.


Apologies all, but I'm going to withdraw from consideration. I forgot how truly....complex it can be to make a spycraft character, and between various work and home projects, I don't have the bandwidth right now to create a character that the group deserves. Thank you for your consideration, and good luck guys!

The Exchange

I don't mind assisting you, Vrog, on making a character. It's new for me too, but for a day or two longer, I've got time to work on such a thing.


It would be unfortunate to see you go, Vrog, but understandable. I was reluctant to start this one myself, but the interest from you guys kept me going. I would also help you finish your character if you choose to stick it out.

-Posted with Wayfinder


I hope this doesn't fall apart...


You and me both. I know the Spycraft system is complex, but I really enjoy the genre and I'm wanting to provide that espionage feel to you guys as well.

-Posted with Wayfinder


I think SpyCraft is complex in some ways, but it's also a better system than regular d20, IMO. But if you already know, say, d20 Modern, it should come naturally, I'd think. Still, I love the system so far. Complex but elegant.

The Exchange

I think there are some elements that can be removed without hurting the game. The forte/focus additions, all the weapon tags and vehicle tags.

the game IS intimidating as it is, but there's also so much of interest in it!


There are two character building Excel sheets on the web you may want to check.

tried to use that and got errors, may not be compatible with my program


For some reason I wasn't seeing updates for this. Still interested!


We can still fit you in. Just give us your alias and I will devise a way to get you with the team.

Shadow,
I sent a PM but wanted to post here as well. Working up a character. I am thinking Soldier/Wheelman mix. Let me know if you think you can work me in and I'll complete his build. Thanks

As I checked on my vitality roll I noticed I didn't add my Gonzo Wound Point so I should have 15 Wounds.

The Exchange

I'm curious about the +18 Vitality modifier, did I miss something? I rolled for each level and that was that since I have no Con Bonus.

also, good call on Talented, I think that's just a very impressive feat there.


1st level is full Vitality Die per page 59. Soldier was level 1 so 12 hp + 2 Con bonus for each level so another +6.
Total +18 and my 2d10.
Big fan of Talented especially with around average intelligence.

Let me know if anything else seems off. Creating a Spycraft character is complex and I may have made a mistake or not counted for something.

The Exchange

in theory, if you took that Black Ops background (it states you get points into Sneak and Tactics like Talented) then use Talented on Officer, could you just put max points into Tactics and get max Stealth and Intimidate as well?


I don't see a Black Ops background there is a Special Ops but it doesn't work the same way as Talented. It says you just get Insight Bonuses in both skills at certain levels. The wording of Talented I don't think shows up for any other ability. At least not in Version 2.0 Core Rule. That would be sweet. Also in checking back over this I have to see if there is a reason my threat changed for those skills Talented doesn't change the threat.

The Exchange

here it is, wrong name,

World on Fire

Commando: You have military-grade training in low-intensity
warfare and a knack for subtlety in battle.
• Bonus Feat: Tactical Advantage.
• Your Dexterity or Intelligence increases by 1 (whichever is lower;
your choice in the case of a tie). This bonus is applied after any
attribute modifiers from your Talent.
• Once per session, you may decrease the overland travel time of
any 1 trip to 3/4 standard (rounded down).
• Each time you gain 1 or more ranks in the Tactics skill, you also
gain an equal number of ranks in the Sneak skill. This may not
increase your Sneak skill beyond its maximum rank.


Don't have a copy of World on Fire but it would appear like one could take this Specialty which is damn good. I think beats Serviceman in game mechanics. You would have to use a feat to take a Basic Skills feat before grabbing Talented as it requires a Basic Skill as a prerequisite. But then yeah if you took Talented (Officer) you would have to pump the Tactics skill and get a free Sneak and a free Intimidate. One interesting point is that Commando doesn't make Sneak and Tactics a class skill so Sneak is still limited by Cross Class skills counting for 1/2 a rank.

But the "knack for subtelty" doesn't match well with Gonzo Talent. I do what I do for the rush of it.
