NPC assassins, Got a PC with the "Wanted" Negative Quality Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

Hi folks,

One of the PCs in my campaign, a troll wujen who recently learnt the Sacrificing metamagic from a free spirit and thus changed his Mentor Spirit from Wong Fei Hung (Dog) to Yanluo Wang (Dark King) has the Wanted Quality from Runner's Companion, whereby there's a bounty on his head set by the Smoke Circle Society.

He's a 400BP character with ~120 Karma, so I've created some assassins as Superior characters, per the rules in the BBB (600BP and 150 Karma). They'll come after him individually, probably while he's with the team, but I'm looking for critiques of the sheets and any ideas for tactics.

This is the first one, very loosely based on Samas Aran:

The second one started off inspired by Jubal Early from Firefly but went in a really different direction somewhere along the line:

I'm thinking of also making a demolitions expert, who specialises in setting people's vehicles to explode with them in (in effect adding a Termination System to their vehicles and setting it off remotely when they get in). Probably a dwarf.

My thought is that I'd take the Leon approach, getting closer and closer to the target with each failed attempt; so first the demolitions, then the sniper, and eventually the unarmed guy. There's supposed to be an attempt every other mission or so, so given the shape of my campaign I'd love suggestions for another attempt between the sniper and the unarmed guy...
