Haven't made too many riggers and one of my players is working on one. What are the basics that he needs. He will mostly focus on helicopters. Ground vehicles and hovercrafts are his secondary, and drones will be his tierciary. Im sure he wants a VCR , but how fancy do we have to get to be decent?
Oh, we are playing 3rd edition and he has 'one million dollars'(in a bad Dr. Evil voice impression). That might be helpful information. |
