Logan's Rogues
Setting & Context
Fantasy-Medieval Gurth, more specifically Camlin and the surrounding region.
Lord Rogan, a super-wealthy aristocrat of Camlin who happens to also be the government's Minister of Commerce, has a problem. A particular type of problem that requires a particular type of team.
Character Build Parameters
These are 120 point characters with up to 40 points in Disadvantages and 5 points in Quirks.
Your character is a TL3 human unless you take a 5-point Unusual Background Advantage in which case you can use the [Half-orc template]] or the Half-elf template.
You have no Supernatural or Alien capabilities, but one level of Magery is permitted with an additional 5 points in Unusual Background.
You are a rogue, though the flavor is up to you. You might be a slick con artist, or a pickpocket, or a street thug, or a brilliant burglar. But you do not have a regular job, and you are motivated by seizing that which is not yours. Choose advantages and disadvantages that fit that concept.
If we were playing D&D, you would probably be Chaotic Good, Chaotic Neutral, or True Neutral. We want the party to work well together most of the time; don't create a Chaotic Evil sociopath. Choose your advantages and disadvantages accordingly.
Background
Assume the party has met and worked together before, but maybe not for very long -- unless you have a specific backstory that contradicts this scheme.
Characters should include:
- Thoughtfully select your Wealth level-- it will determine your equipment.
- You have lived your entire life in either Drannor or Durkin. Choose Area Knowledge(s). You are now in Camlin, why?
- Choose Contacts if you want them to be useful.
Equipment
- Equipment in the books includes a price in dollars. These are silver pieces for our purposes.
- Default budget is $1000.
- Disadvantage: Dead Broke (-25) -- you have nothing but the shabby clothes on your back.
- Disadvantage: Poor (-15) -- your budget for gear is $200.
- Disadvantage: Struggling (-10) -- your budget for gear is $500.
- Advantage: Comfortable (+10) -- your budget for gear is $2,000.
- Advantage: Wealthy (+20) -- your budget for gear is $5,000.
- Advantage: Very Wealthy (+30) -- your budget for gear is $40,000. At this level you will almost surely spend extra on items of exquisite quality.
Any proposed magic items will require GM approval and cost a lot.
