I'd go with the Fugitive skill tree kinda thing for my character.
You stole my character idea. Sort of, I had the idea of domination, being able to make an enemy fear him through conversing and subtle tactics. Even just plainly laughing at his opponent, he can make them tremble in fear or feel like a worthless human being.
Stop it! NOOO!
Unless you have the most random and unusual character, there will be similar character traits and what they can accomplish.
No idea duderino. I think there are a few tough dudes and maybe 2 or 1 japanese techie gods. One samaruu. Then two more vocally talented folks.
The best way to beat all of those is to just play a World War 2 air raid siren. Everybody will be dripping blood from the ears and will be too annoyed to check up on anything.The thing is...I really enjoy the techie archetype. It's something I put a lot of work and research into, when I do play it. I examine the premise of the technology, what makes it work, and what might make it stop working. I can do other things, but this is what I enjoy most. I like the challenges it presents, especially if I'm expected to provide a reason why the solution will work.
For example, hacking an electronic lock: You could try a war-dialer to crack the code, but if they're using a rotating encryption key, you're hosed. Depending on the type, you may have access to some of the external lighting electronics. Take the lock indicator LED wire and feed it into the lock actuator. You've just triggered the latch without even approaching the actual locking mechanism.
Video surveillance? You have to have a face before anyone will consider it as "evidence" against a particular person. IR light shows up white on digital cameras, which is the vast majority of what modern security systems use. You can't fit them with an IR filter, because they use IR light for night-time monitoring. Wearing a few high-power IR LEDs near the face will completely wash out that portion of your body on camera. No positive ID. All you have is that "somebody" was there.
Communications? Any broadcast signal can be picked up. You can scramble a signal, but that still allows for the potential for others to eventually crack the scrambler code. I have proposed an electronic variant of the Enigma devices used in WW II, coupled with a sync station and a master key which randomly rotates not only the scrambler code, but the transmission frequency. Try cracking the code when you get 0.001 seconds of the signal.
I love the techie. I won't be heartbroken if I can't play one, but...let's say I'm hoping I can.
The Chronicler
, my character would be the one your characters would call for a favor. Or be the intimidating face, be that pressure on the back of their neck. You need someone killed and can't be bothered because you don't like the high chance of death? He has it covered. Let's call him a Handyman.
Eh, intimidation is a good thing for most characters. I think mine will be competing for the most intimidating of them all.W Weaver
W Weaver
He'll have the hacksaw and acid ready.
Two scary faces works better than one.
But one can only be measured by the similarities of the other, and not by the differences.
True dat.
