He seems interesting, it is clear how he got into the service of the inquisition, one needs to have quite some skill to survive in the underhive while attacking its inhabitants without immensely good equipment such as the spyrer rigs of Necromunda. It however does remain unclear what other skills he possesses which allow him to become an inquisitor. Of course it is unneeded to describe everything he did as an acolyte to proof himself but some clues could be very interesting.
His stats seem reasonable, you could perhaps knock the S and T around a slight bit, to make the two round identical numbers not stick out that much. He is a skilled combatant which is clearly represented by his stats. For his skills however there is little justification. Heroic is something very special and the character does not seem heroic. His background makes him a bit of a loner making the leader skill unlikely and never has he contininued despite horrible wounds which would indicate the true grit skill.
His full is still in the works really. I intend to expand it to what skills and moments of gorly made him an Inquisitor but thats for the future.
Yah his skills seem out of place now that I look at them agian. Though Leader is pretty much the default for my Inquisitors/Rouge Traders/Merc leaders etc I might very well change that as it is like you said he is pretty much a loner he has only two or three cohorts in Inquisitorial crime.
Ture Girt is out the windo for now as your right in that I don't see him getting to beat up. heroic the same.
I am thinking nervs of steel that this point as it seems to fit with his Thrill-Seeking persona and general guts and gorly hunt that bad guys feel.
Nerves of Steel tends to be a bit flat - it simply means that he is never afraid of being shot at EVER. Like, even with a plasma cannon going off, or a flamethrower, or a battlecannon or whatever. If you want him to be brave in the face of bullets, give him an Nv bonus against pinning, not no pinning tests ever.
Nah, he's already sporting a Nv of 78, which if with the +20% for not being hit is basically an auto-pass. No more bonuses needed.
Nerves of Steel, in my opinion, is not for brave characters, its for those that don't care whether they die. And as this guy's paranoid, he clearly does care.
Quote from: DwiIt was at this point that Morlan's now ever increasing paranoia, wich had begain to develop after a friend, tried to kill him, came to the fore and insted of heading out as he normaly did he cast aside his friends and went in to hideing, takeing his weapons and whatever else he nedded.
I know what this is
supposed to say, but it's really surreal if you read it with the misplaced comma after "friend".
In my opinion, the combination of Leader, True Grit and Heroic is about as generic a set of skills as you can give a heroic, die-hard leader - to me it smacks of not having thought deeply enough into your character as a person as well as a fighter, and just went for the ones that make him sound badass.
The way I see it, the fewer the Special Abilities, the fewer 'buzzwords' you need to use to describe your character, and the more focused you can be on making him fit that persona. A character with Heroic, for example, is much more interesting than a character with all three - it's obvious what it is that he has to do at any given time - dive through windows dual weilding uzis, swing from cranes firing off bolts of arcane energy, or surf the roof of a stolen enforcer patrol vehicle down a busy highway.
This is not to mention how easy it is to forget what special abilities each character has the more there are, especially with Leader. I can speak for myself, but I'm sure there are others to back me up - the number of times I have forgotten a character with Leader tacked on to their character sheet (because they are the leader of the warband, why not?) and forgot to apply their bonus. In fact, I don't recall *any* moment I have remembered to use the Leader rules apart from when it was a character's only ability.. hmm... I might need to readjust some character sheets I think.
If you want some more food for thought, check out the community-approved Special Abilities (http://carthax.wikispaces.com/Special+Abilities) section over at Carthax and see if any take your fancy.
Thats fine RobSkib as for now lassus getting an overhaul. I have scrtached his fluff and am now reworking it. As he sands with this fluff I can't fit ONE tallent to him without getting rid of it as none of them fit his background or his stats. Hes even haveing his name changed!
It's always worth remembering that often a character's abilities can be represented by their stats alone. If True Grit, Leader and Heroic are not fitting for your character then it may be that you don't need any special abilities for that character. Don't feel you need to add some abilities just for the sake of it.
Thanks for the advice Kaled! I will keep that in mind for what I rework his fluff.
So after some thought I have desided that his stats should remain roughfly the same and that he will keep the Lassus in his name.
Thanks for all your help so far guys!
btw: its Xenos with an X
