About Les Norton

Big Bruiser archetype

A likeable and laconic Aussie battler, Les Norton is described as a tall, stockily built, red-haired man who doesn't mind a fight, a punt or a root. He was born in Dirranbandi (Queensland), and lived there until he was involved in a pub fight, when the local police officer told him to leave before investigators from Brisbane could arrive when he was identified as a person of interest in the subsequent murder investigation. He moved to Sydney, and ended up living in Bondi, working as a bouncer in an illegal casino in Kings Cross.

He's on holiday checking out the local sights and local girls... unfortunately Les tends to walk into trouble as often as not, if he doesn't walk into it? It goes out of its way to find him.

"Oh well, sling me a durry, and keep the piss chillin' in the Eski. I should have this Galah sorted in a minute..."

Establishing Shot
Your first Martial Arts attack of any fight gets a +2 bonus.

Mounting Fury I
IF you miss with a Martial Arts attack, you gain a +1 cumulative bonus to your next Martial Arts attack. The bonus resets to 0 after you hit, and at the end of the fight.

Very Big
You make Up Checks and gain Marks of Death only when you reach 50 Wound Points. Impairment of –1 occurs only at 40 Wound Points; Impairment of –2 at 45 Wound Points.

Strong as an ox
Add 3 to your Damage on any successful Martial Arts strike, including strikes with hand-to-hand weapons. (Damage Values for your starting weapons already include this bonus.) You can use absurdly large objects, like motorcycles, as improvised weapons. You also get +3 to all Strength Checks.

Healthy as a Horse
You get a +3 bonus to Constitution Checks.

Disadvantage: The bigger they come...
Toughness is reduced by –5 if you reach 50 or more Wound Points, until all Death Checks from this fight have been resolved.
