RenanWild Posted October 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 21, 2023 Sorry for creating a topic, but I was wondering: Would a face character be welcome in this campaign? I was thinking something like a con artist or something like that that got in way too deep in crime for his own good Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgreWattage Posted October 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 21, 2023 I dont mind you doing it at all, and Yes evey skill will be needed for this campaign, mght not be the frist mission but just visiting the commissionaire could save your team in the future. A face in this campaign is going to be a little bit of a slow burn but going to be the uper hero in alot of cases just due to the fact that nrtworking and office politics are still a thing, Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenanWild Posted October 21, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 21, 2023 Awesome! I'll come up with a character concept then! thank you for the answer. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudra Posted October 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Im not sure to understand, if the equipment kit is not going to be a thing for a few missions and face characters are going to be a slow burn, what kind of activities will happen in the early game? i understand that you dont want to make spoilers but you could share 4 or 5 skills that you think will be useful , without revealing the plot, that would help with character creation. I'm considering an hacker, or a chemist, both rely quite heavily on equipment to do their thing Edited October 21, 2023 by Rudra (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenanWild Posted October 21, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 21, 2023 from my understanding its more of a "create a character from the background instead of what you think will be useful" sort of deal (at least that is how I usually go about creating characters) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgreWattage Posted October 22, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 22, 2023 I'm honestly going to try very had to make the skills that come into play, extremely varied, as well as the missions. @Rudra I kind of already gave a hint at what skills are going to be useful by the free give mes in the requirements. I mentioned Sarkics and the Clockworks too, so linguistics, medicine, Theology , or Machinist could work as well. if your an SCP fan you know some crazy creatures out there, so biology. I mean Research could be a great skill in pre mission prep. I can make an argument for nearly any skill of where it could be useful. I would focus on making the skills you choose to focus on, higher level is probably he best advice I can give. I hope this helped Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnord72 Posted October 22, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 22, 2023 With a horror theme, would there be any appropriate hidden lore's for an occultist? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even need the "hidden lore" skill, you can flat out take occult as mages do exist in this game, just D classes are not going to be running around with high levels of magic. I think of occultism in this game, at least to start with being familiar with rituals that Crowly had, or the rituals that supposedly summon your guardian angels or what colors candles to burn for a witch's crystal circle. I dont expect flat out spells to be known, but having the skill to know in theory how magic works I don't see why not. You could be a D class because you had a run in with a literal ghost are spirit, got possessed killed someone. Only reason im saying no flat out magic right away is you could be an Anomaly and need a cell for other reasons then a D class. The way I see it knowledge of all kinds is permitted, but the actual abilities are the hard line.

Fnord72 Posted October 22, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 22, 2023 I was going more with PC was with a group that was going to perform a summoning, and well, it went sideways. Guess D class is better than the death the rest of the group experienced... Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even say it was a recruitment thing that went wrong for the Chaos insurgency, The Black Queen or Medician Academy of Occult Art. Warning those the chaos insurgency is really really disliked and would give you some social negatives in the foundation which if you want a disadvantage it's a good way to get it.

OgreWattage Posted October 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I only need 2-3 paragraphs. Basically What crime got you into being a D class, and if you want to tell me a little about your D class life, awesome. I placed some give me skills or free bes, and all I really am looking for is what I asked for in there. your character sheet will tell me a bunch too, @fnord Edited October 24, 2023 by OgreWattage (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick the Rogue Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 I like the idea of this game. Will try to come up with something First guy would be a survivalist who was already off the grid and took some justice in his own hands and got himself in jail Second idea would probably be some dark web guy who got in trouble for running a blank market or something Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgreWattage Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 Shweetness. and remember I dont have a limit on disadvantages cuz to be in the situation that makes you a D class, you had to go to jail for a long time. To go to jail for a long time, you woulda had to kill somebody or something like that. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
