Munchkinized Night One Gun Adept?, I saw one, where'd it go? Options

[SixBit]

I saw a night one gun adept somewhere on the forums a while back with most of their powers geased for night use. Any chance someone could post it, or maybe another? I believe it was designed to be a sniper/run and gunner. Nifty if possible. If not, here's another munchkin challenge! Make the perfect night sniper designed to be highly mobile, jumping across rooftops and such. =D

Okay - Priority System is a metahuman magician's friend, so...

[Person 404]

Are metahuman variants possible under the priority system?

[toturi]

Not according to strict Canon, but there are some differing views on that.

[GunnerJ]

Also: should geased Imp. Athletics and Stealth cost as much as geased Imp. Rifles?

[Modesitt]

I like to stick to canon and stuff. Quickie sniper-type character, emphasis on jumping. Used BBB, Companion, and MITS

Edge: Perfect Time (1 point)

Edit because I screwed up adding up power points.

Second edit because Mode works from memory and randomly decided on an edge. So since the edge can't be chosen by metatypes, he decided to just throw away the extra point on something else.

So choose the edge that lets you know when the sun's going down!

[Bölverk]

[Eyeless Blond]

Um, Improved Rifles costs .5/point. Both of the above get only 2 levels of power for what they paid, and the second's got another .25pps to spend.

And, personally, I think magician's way adepts are stupid, particularly those who pick spells that all do physical Drain.

[Glyph]

Okay, here's a quick and dirty version from me. He's an albino, to get an extra point of Combat Pool (and because you're already gimped in daylight and already stick out like a sore thumb, making the two biggest disadvantages of albinism almost redundant for this character). Built for sneaking, hopping from rooftop to rooftop, and sniping from a distance - at night. A concept that leaves him vulnerable to a lot of situations and is a bit overfocused, but could be fun to play, depending on the particular campaign.

Gear of Note -
Get a Remington 950 with a high-powered Laser Sight, Silencer, and a Shock Pad. Also a grapple gun, climbing gear, stealth line, and maybe even a low-altitude parachute. And some decent armor - like a secure jacket or camo suit (with Gel Packs) combined with a full suit of FFBA (with Thermal Dampening). With 20,000, you have enough to get a Low Lifestyle, a Basic DocWagon Contract, and have enough left for a decent selection of gear. If you wind up with 5,000 left over, get an extra Level 1 Contact - either a Cab Driver or a Fence.

**Edit** By the way, he also has Allergies to Sunlight from being a Night One and from Albinism - depending on how your GM combines the two (having one make the other go up one level, or combining the Flaw points), he could either have a Moderate or a Severe Allergy to Sunlight.

Contacts and Knowledge skills to taste.
It's probably not as munchy as some but also a bit more versatile and already has obvious character hooks built in. Adding in improved skills on the Edged Weapons would be a priority with the next initiation since each point would add 3 die (even a single point would give him 12 total).

[Domino]

I shoot really, really well but I live in a cardboard box down by the river. :wobble:

[SixBit]

That's right. Crazy mofos in fake trailers! =D

[Baatorian]

This isn't a munchkin character. I've read so many of these threads that I just decided, what the hell, why always someone only useful in one situtation or in one set of circumstances? So I decided to make up a night one gun adept just to say like, "Look, you don't only have to be useful if X = Y".

Anyway, it's made with BeCKS V2.

Gear (couldn't be arsed really)

Contacts

7 x Level 1 contacts to pick.


Personally, if I was actually going to spend some time on making the character and hope to use it, I'd probably lower quickness a bit, use the points to get some more cash to buy a bike and maybe add a few other skills, maybe a couple more contacts too.

If you don't use the MA rules in CC. Then swap Akido and Evasion for Unarmed Combat/Martial Arts 2/4 and buy another Level 1 contact. If you don't use BeCKS, tough, I guess.

In checking your profile, I discover... Dr Funkenstein, I presume. With your typical wit and banter you've once again demonstrated your innate superiority :eek:
Youve always been very consistent. Yove never complimented anybody but those who've bowed to you and aknowledge your superior knowledge. Your help is offered with a sneer and a sense of smugness. You're overly critical and less than helpful. I'm willing to admit it. I don't listen to you anymore. You would prefer it if nobody used a character generator as that would invalidate all of the hours you've spent memorizing and cataloging the rules. This I'll admit it as well... You do know the rules better than I (you win, hurrah...feel better now?). "Real men don't need no stinkin' character generators. Real players only need a clean sheet of paper!"
I wrote the program to help the newbies and experts. Less time spent generating characters and more playing them. I believe that there are people playing now that would've have found it impossible to begin. It seems you would prefer that only 'experts' and people who have memorized that game to your exacting criteria be allowed to play.
You've spent a great deal of time and effort criticizing others in some effort to feel larger. I've been around as long as you (since the fancy brown themes) and I seen more than a few of your posts. You don't help people. You beleager them, you intimidate them, you harass them. They NEVER have a point. Only you are correct, only you have the one correct viewpoint. To put a technical spin on things: Your Etiquette skills stink. I imagine your actual computer skills are very good to compensate your lack of real people skills. Compromise is not in your
lexicon.
Now that I know who you really are, I'll follow my stated policy and no longer respond to you.
Bottom line: My stated goal is to help people, your's is to apparently denegrate and criticize them.
P.S. Weren't you banned from this board?

[A Rodent of Unus...]

Nice rant. You almost completely managed to curtail the obnoxiousness of your last post ("do you mean 'occasions'" feh) while, with a fascinating display of hypocrisy, have the nerve to say that on one hand I never offer any constructive criticism and on the other admit that you've ignored said constructive criticism because you don't particularly like me. <thumbs up> Good job.

And no, I never was banned though I do occassionally get asked to calm down a bit when I get my feathers a little too ruffled (which I admit does happen despite my sincere efforts to not do so; and rest assured that I'm concentrating *very* hard on not doing so in response first with Eyeless Blond and then you). Probably because despite your personal biases, the majority of my posts around here are geared towards discussing the game and helping newbies when they ask questions.

I just happen to have a simple philosophy: If you're going to do something like code a character generator, you should do it right whether you're getting paid for it or not. When you start throwing in random house and/or third-party rules for something so many people sadly take as a legitimate resource, you should at least put some effort into insuring its worthy of that status... and the one thing you most certainly shouldn't do is whine and complain and then tell everyone that it's their duty to fix your mistakes. Because it most certainly isn't.
