Contacts Fixer (3/1) Therapist (1/2) Psychanalyst (2/1) --- So, who wouldn't want that great Hacker on his team? What, you say? He sucks? Well, that's because you are seeing his stats instead of hearing him talk with confidence about his accomplishment, backed by a 17 dice con roll! What will he do when he can barely dig up superficial data when you ask him to run a data search? He'll make stuff up! What will he do when he has to disable security? He'll sometime get lucky (Edge 6) and the rest of the time he'll either make up an excuse ("This is a trap! Security is ultra tough and they were expecting me!") or tell you the job is done and either pray you don't notice that the cameras aren't disabled and that the security guard is distracted or else he'll blame you for having tripped an invisible mechanical alarm that ain't connected to the system. How long can he keep this up? I don't know. 2 sessions? 3? Until he gets the team killed? Hey man, he has 17 dice to con people! Why would he do it? He obviously has mental problems. Notice the therapist and pshychanlyst contacts! What will he do when you finally understand what is going on? Notice the high Sprinting and dodging score! Why the hell would I bring this up? Because last session I mentionned the concept to my players and we couldn't stop laughing, coming up with ever more outlandish stunts from the hacker bluffer. And so I had to stat him out and share him with the world! :D |
