Some thoughts on Character Creation.
- Starting at 20XP seems to always have worked for us in the past. Our guys should be already somewhat useful or they wouldn't have been recruited.
- Perhaps 1 extra ability score point. The game has everyone starting with 5 ability points (=1d6 in all 5 scores unless you drop one to a d4). I've always kind of wanted to push that up to 6 points (so you can have 1 stat at a d8 to start without eating a d4, there's just no stat I want at a d4 as an general adventurer). AGREED
- Problems with “Poverty” hindrance, “Noble, Rich and Superrich” edges. Poverty is going to be no hindrance, since we aren't using money, Noble, Rich and Superrich may be problematic, they could work but might be disappointing to some who might take them. IT IS THE DEPRESSION, GET RID OF THEM
- Starting Gear: do we just say “you only have the gear that you take from the headquarters arsenal” or do we allow each player to take one weapon and one other thing of his choice? I KNOW YOU LOVE GEAR. I'LL LEAVE THIS UP TO YOU. MAYBE GIVE PCS A CHOICE BETWEEN THREE BASIC GEAR SETS TO BEGIN WITH? TWO PISTOLS, FLASHLIGHT, NOTEBOOK, RADIO, MAYBE A CAR OR A MOTORCYCLE? THEN A RIFLE, KNIFE, AND SURVIVAL GEAR? THEN A SWORD (OR HAND WEAPON), PISTOL, BULLETPROOF VEST, ETC?
