See You Space Cowboy

At this point, I'm planning on having you infiltrate/hijack a ship as part of the mission. So less of a concern.

Lyssa is either getting paid extra for being slightly perfect for the job, or rather less for being exited about the offer.   

[Mister Andersen]

Do you as yet have a pilot? I'm picturing a Drell of some description.

Also, are specialties the only way to pick up powers?

[foproy]

im working on a salarian wheelman, so probably.

Life and Death in Omega Sector

As inspired by

Omega Sector is Intergalactic LA, compressed into a space station.

I'm gonna have to say that one of the alternative gear options is a good idea. Something without mission picks, and prizes are a must!

My character is done, bar gear. That said, I wish I was playing a Krogan now... 

[LordKruelos]

Ok, let's do Cash & Carry.


At the start of your first mission, and at the start of each subsequent mission, you gain an additional amount of money (income) equal to [100?tbd] credits × your Spending Cash × your Spending Cash

At the end of each mission, you must pay to maintain your chosen Lifestyle, which determines where and how you live (see page 216 of the Spycraft 2.0 Rulebook). For the per-mission cost associated with each Lifestyle level, consult Table 2: Cash and Carry Lifestyle (see page 12).

can someone knock out a quick level three salarian wheelman sans feats and gear? i wont have access to my books till some time in the afternoon Saturday. just pick however many skills i can max out and do that. the only 2 i am concerned with are computers and drive.

[tfwfh]

If someone's gonna do that, we'd need to know what specialty you want. In case you're not familiar with masscraft,  they're the mass effect classes. Unless you don't want mass effect powers, then it's whatever.

[foproy]

salarian wheelman
i am specifically going for wheelman. i trust most of the people here enough to read that much.

[tfwfh]

Wheelman is a class. Salarian is a species. You also need a specialty.

[foproy]

and i trust most on here with that choice. many could read my background and choose something appropriate.

Wheelman doesn't get computers as a class skill

I gave Zane the commando specialty and Talented (World Traveller) as his first level feat to reflect his STG past and current profession as a smuggler; you also pick up 2 "free" skills as a result. As such, you can have 10 maxed out skills -- and again, I spent them as seemed appropriate for a member of the STG -- or 9 if you still want a maxed out Computers skill, it being cross class. You could swap out T:WT for T: Techie to get Computers as a free skill hanging off Electronics but I think that kinda clashes with Zane's background as it stands.

It seemed remiss not to give a business owner at least some ranks in Profession, so I split a skill max between that and tactics (thus also giving you some Sneak)
