Troll archers can replace light artillery.

Thus: Worm Skills: SMGs (Uzi) Pistols (Cruddy Revolver) Shotguns Heavy Weapons Launch Weapons(Sheep) Projectile Weapons(Longbow) Kung-fu (maneuvers—fire punch, dragon ball, kamikaze) Thrown Weapons(Non-Aerodynamic…. Like bananas) Athletics(Baseball) Athletics(Bungee-jumping) Parachuting VTAs (personal jet pack) Electronics (teleporters) Performance (victory themes) Adept Powers: Great leap Improved Athletics (Geas: must be using ninja rope) Rooting (sometimes it’s just hard to knock those wormies over…) Pain tolerance (1 unit of life left and they’re still truckin’) Serious Allergy (Radiation) Languages: As the player sees fit (although Japanese, French, and Scottish are the most amusing)

This board is assuming that the character in question is meant to be a PC.

Legolas would have Projectile Weapons/Pull bow 5/7

The problem with making Preston is that: A. You make him by the book and end up disappointed because he is just another dipshit with two pistols. B. You give him stats that accurately reflect is "real" abilities and then you end disappointed because now he just rolls through all opposition with little to no effort. He is definately cool in the movie but I have yet to see any SR incarnation of him that didnt leave a bad taste in my mouth. Thats not to say that I have never tried...

I play an archer in one of the online games. My attacks are 12m dmg, resolved against impact armor, not ballistic. so they are higher power than a rifle, lower damage code, but also much harder to stage down.

I did that once several years ago just to see if I can break the system.... really not that hard....

Troll phys ad with the improved projectile weapons ability... Coupled that with his high strength and that Ranger-X bow and dikoted arrowheads.... High power, lots of die rolls and silent....
It was ugly.... :(

Though, he was made fun of, because he also ran around with a slingshot.... Yeah, troll strength slingshot is still nothing to really laugh at.... just weird and legal. :|

Fuck Preston, let's do the Equilibrium Cleaners.

CODE

Attributes
Strength: 3
Quickness: 4 (need to be above average to cock to weapons quick and dramatic-like)
Body: 4 (need to be above average to do everything wearing a heavy trench coat and motorcycle helmet that do nothing to protect you)
Intelligence: 3 (it would be lower, but you need to be smart enough to recognize those dramatic pauses)
Willpower: 1 (just can't resist those dramatic pauses!)
Charisma: 4 (needs to be high enough to withstand the hit to charisma from wearing a trench coat and motorcycle helmet so those weapons can be cocked dramatically)

Skills
Assault Rifle(Cocking Assault Rifles): 1/6
Clubs(Having Weapon Taken by Cleric and Used to Beat Me to Death): 1/6
Heavy Weapons(Spraying Useless From the Hip):1/2
Rifles(Shooting Puppies with Sniper Rifles at 2 meters): 1/3
Shotguns(Loosely Gripped): 0/3
SMGs(Cocking SMGs): 1/6
Unarmed Combat(Standing Still and Not Putting Up a Fight): 0/3
Intimidation(Melodramatic): 1/4
Cocking Mechanisms B/R: 6
Small Unit Tactics(Ineffective Urban Swarm): 1/4
Bike(Stopping Melodramatically and Dangerously Close): 1/5
Knowledge:Edged Weapons(Taking Sword from Cleric but Not Guns): 1/6
Knowledge:Cocking Weapons Theory: 6

Edges
Aptidude (cocking weapon)
Aptitude (recognizing dramatic pauses in speeches)
Double Jointed: Just kidding! Preston really did shatter that arm.
Bravery: The strength to get up every morning and walk outside wearing a trench coat and a motorcycle helmet at all times does not come easily.
Perceptive: Got to hear those dramatic pauses.
Blandness: We all look alike.

Flaws
Compulsion (very extreme): Must cock weapon at dramatic pauses in any speech within earshot.
Compulsion (severe): Who can resist shooting puppies with a sniper rifle at close range?
Compulsion (severe): A man who burns the Mona Lisa for a living is a man who loves his work.
Day Job (40hrs/week): It's hard work, cocking all those weapons, but someone has to do it.
Distinctive Style (trench coat and motorcycle helmet): It looks stupid, but someone's got to wear all this body armor that does nothing to protect you from hordes of untrained, horribly armed, completely incapable civilians.

(dang, where's the wisdom category?) unarmed combat, shotguns, chemistry, Car B/R cybered combat (chainsaw specialization) knowledge skill: S Mart inventory (Sporting Goods specialization) compulsion: making one-liners is there a flaw of constantly forgetting the words? The opposite of photographic memory? :grinbig:

First two: insane Athletics, good Edged Weapons, good Quickness and soforth. PoP: Sands of Time: Above plus Ambidexterity 6 (or a few levels of off-hand Edged Weapons) and PhysAd powers. ~J
