Okay. Yeah. Everybody knows that MacGyver rules. But has anybody gone about trying to make a guy with the 4th edition ruleset? I think you could make a fairly decent runner out of the guy.
Seriously. He's Ex-Special Forces, has a degree in physics, and likely has incompetent with the entire Firearms group. Oh, and an edge of, like, 8. Anybody want to take a stab at it? I'm thinking I'm going to give it a stab once I finish doing my actual educational bits. For extra helpful bits, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver And to think, I could be using this time to study. |

There is a specialization for explosives called "improvised" I think he'd definately have that.

You also can't go wrong with a high degree of Armorer, Hardware, and any of the Mechanic skills.

We once had a character with the active skill "MacGyvering 6". When the GM read that he ripped the character sheet into small pieces, soaked them with rum and burned them. All that without any comment. :D

No wonder he got pissed. The correct term is "macgyverism", after all! ;) . |

*grin* well, having a "Icandoanythingskill" might be a bit gamebreaking. :D
