The man, the myth, the *** kicking son of a *****,

Once again, I know nothing of the particular discipline Jack followed, namely Delta training. If anyone knows what their HTH is like, sound off.

Re: "24" Challenge

 

Is anyone around here a practitioner?

 

I practice Krav Maga to supplement my taekwondo training. Simply put, KM is like Jeet Kune Do, in that it's a combination of different styles. So you have boxing punches mixed with Muay Thai kicks, wrestling mixed with Jujutsu. The curriculum for beginning students is (apart from basic strikes) escaping from chokes and head locks. Once in a while we go over knife and gun defenses, although that's usually reserved for more advanced students.

 

Keep in mind KM is taught to civilians, police, and military, each with different objectives. Weapon techniques generally won't be taught, unless the students are in the military. I don't think my studio teaches any soldiers, but there are a few seminars for police officers. I think one of the instructors is a policeman.

Re: "24" Challenge

 

Good start, Eyendasky80. I'd give Jack more BODY, myself. He probably has at least a Familiarity with Computer Programming. Tone down Tony's combat skills a touch - your version could almost hang against Jack, but in the show he didn't last two seconds. For that matter I might give Jack another level or three in HtH. In 96 episodes, I can think of only a few where he actually lost in standup fisticuffs. Chase probably has a Physical Limitation with that one hand. Nina should be deadlier - by the end of her run they'd practically turned her into Evil Jack, leaving a trail of corpses in her wake over the slightest mistake.

 

Now can you do Chloe? :)

Good start' date=' Eyendasky80. I'd give Jack more BODY, myself. He probably has at least a Familiarity with Computer Programming.[/quote']

Jack's BODY is subject to debate as all I have to go on is his relative toughness to the people around him. I gave him the most out of any main character, but I wouldn't go higher as a matter of taste. Of course, our new friend Curtis Manning may give him a run for his money or give me a reason to give them both a couple more points of body. That guy's a beast.

Jack can use a computer proficiently, but he hasn't displayed the kind of hacking skills/knowledge that Edgar, Chloe, Michelle or Tony possess nor has he had any training specific to computer programming or security. He's already so powerful as to be ridiculous, now you want to make him a 1337 Hax0r too?

 

Tony is a Marine Scout/Sniper and a certified instructor of Krav Maga. He could go toe to toe with Jack if Jack stopped sucker punching him.

 

Jack's a shootist, but an argument could be made for more HtH levels. Two levels plus his MA is sufficient to demonstrate he's a well trained combatant. Most of the trained individuals he's subdued were taken by surprise. Also, he has one all around level to put into HtH as well. I wouldn't be opposed to more HtH levels.

Chase probably has a Physical Limitation with that one hand. Nina should be deadlier - by the end of her run they'd practically turned her into Evil Jack' date=' leaving a trail of corpses in her wake over the slightest mistake.[/quote']

Chase is pre-hand-chopping-off.

 

Nina was a more cerebral threat. Jack easily kicked the crap out of her in every physical confrontation, she's no match for Jack and she knows it. She's scared ****less of him. However, she is extremely deadly to most other people, as such, I've made her the second deadliest operative.

Now can you do Chloe? :)

Unfortunately, I can't find a source for Chloe's background and training. Maybe 24 the Game will answer some of those questions.

 

I've made a few guesses about some of the others. Such as I imagine Nina as a former Israeli Operative gone rogue and also imagine that Jack was based in the Middle East and North Africa respectively in his time with the CIA. I also need to add Spanish to his character sheet, I forgot he spent a long time in Mexico with the Salazars and he doesn't strike me as the type to go into a country on a mission without learning the language. Need some AK to represent that as well.

Always nice to have another badass on deck (I was sad Chase didn't turn up last season).

Not 1337 but competant. I seem to recall he did some tech stuff in the first season or two. Granted I haven't seen any episodes beyond their initial airing, so I could be misremembering.

 

Tony is a Marine Scout/Sniper and a certified instructor of Krav Maga. He could go toe to toe with Jack if Jack stopped sucker punching him.

Where did that come from? He's no slouch in the field but he's mostly a desk jockey.

Fair enough. I never cared for her transforming into Lady Lethal just because she turned out to be a bad guy.

 

Unfortunately, I can't find a source for Chloe's background and training. Maybe 24 the Game will answer some of those questions.

What other sources are there? Canon = onscreen. I'm like a Star Wars geek that way. ;)

He would at least have picked up a basic level after his time infilttrating the organization (not to mention wooing Li'l Salazar's senorita). Which reminds me, do you think the heroin thing should be on his character sheet? It doesn't seem to come up anymore, but technically he's addicted for life, right?

I like to imagine whenver Curtis gets that angry look on his face he's thinking "I will break your neck." Just like you know Jack is saying "**** it, crazy time." in his head when he gets that far away look, replaced by determination right before he does something violent.

I will check that out (I'm planning on starting over at Day 1 soon, anway) and get back to you. I like to think that the Computer Programming skill allows people to hack and write program, which is significantly more difficult than knowing how to access and run programs you're authorized to use.

 

Where did that come from? He's no slouch in the field but he's mostly a desk jockey.

His character profile from the website and the companion book fox released. It's verified as canon by the creators of the show. Besides, did you really think Tony was just a desk jockey. I mean, come on! He's the only character so far that is a balanced mix of ***-kickery and tech savvy.

 

What other sources are there? Canon = onscreen. I'm like a Star Wars geek that way. ;)

Given the nature of the premise (One day) it's hard to really glean any background information from the show. Sure, I can safely estimate Chloe's CHAR and skills, but I'd like to continue my theme of grouping skills by the organization/training from which they were acquired. I'll look around online some more and I'll make you a Chloe tonight. Heavy on the invention.

No way, Jack Bauer wasn't addicted to heroin, heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer.

Re: "24" Challenge

 

After watching the first few episodes of Day 1 I think I can say with confidence that Jack Bauer's only advanced computer skill is his ability to identify attractive women who know more than him and to convince them to help him with his loose cannon activities. I've yet to see him do anything himself on a computer that was more complicated than pushing enter. I'm being literal, he had Nina set up a transfer of incriminating evidence to send to Division then threatened to hit enter to extort cooperation from a difficult superior.

Re: "24" Challenge

 

He ran CTU in the first season, didn't he? So he got others to handle the gruntwork. I came away with the impression that he was about as technically competant as Tony or Nina (though Nina's later hack of the CTU system, assuming she did it herself, probably puts her well above her former beaus - though still not in the Chloe/Edgar league).

 

Or my memories may just be skewed. :)

 

So if you don't rate Jack as having any Computer Programming at all, how is his technical savvy reflected on the sheet? As in using surveillance satellites, tracking cell phone transmissions, et al.?

Well, the big tip off that he's not a computer guy was when Jamie had to explain to him how to use his scanner in his car. But other than not being too big on PCs, he knows a lot about what to use high tech stuff for, how to operate sensing equipment and stuff like that. But Tony has a degree in computer science and Nina had some training that isn't, as yet and probably never will be revealed. She was an analyst, so it's a safe bet she has a background in programming. There's no canon source stating Jack is a programmer and he's (to the best of my memory) never done anything to demonstrate any skill. I'll be watching the first season and if I don't see anything, I'll move on to the second. Dang, they're expensive though. I'll keep y'all posted.

 

Edit:You know, I don't think I explicitly stated that most high tech things like satellite tracking he tells other people to set up for him.

 

BTW, Day 4 isn't on sale anymore and has claimed its place as the most expensive set at $60 big ones.

 

Here's a question: What have you seen CTU agents pull out of that nifty compartment in their SUVs? I can remember sniper rifles, assault rifles, flak jackets and ammo. I'd assume they have at least flash/bangs if not frags. A shotgun perhaps? Anybody remember anything else?

Re: "24" Challenge

 

Tonight me and my wife will finish season 1 of 24 and I will work on a write up for Jack.

 

I guess I procrastinated for about.... 8 months :idjit:

 

Now, feeling shamed by Evandasky80, I felt compelled to actually finish the write up I started in May. I haven't had the chance to get much beyond Season 2 (We are about 1/2 way through 3) so somethings may not reflect current Jack.

 

This write up of Jack meshes a little more with Edsels Dark Champions power structure. As is my usual, I will probably hand it over to him and let him tweak the character until he thinks it works for the game. Somethings are built specifically to be a little over the top (Rapid Healing, It's Personal, LS: No Sleep, and the inhuman CON), I know they won't make it on the final Character Sheet but they sure were fun to put on this mook.

 

I added some of his equipment and included a weapon. This gun was used in season one according to my quick scan of the web. I don't recall if Jack wore any body armor so I left it off.

 

This character is good aweful expensive coming in close to The Harbinger.

Re: "24" Challenge

 

Looks like we're about on the same page on Characteristics except for Con and Recovery and I think you may be right about it needing to be higher. I wouldn't put quite that high, but that's a matter of taste really.

15 Move Lives Than A Cat: Luck 3d6

1 LS (Reduced Need For Sleep )

I didn't really give him reduced sleep because I figure he sleeps more than eight hours a week. Chalk it up to his endurance.

I like this, SWIPE!

 

Perks

27 CTU Buddies: Contact (Contact has access to major institutions, Contact has extremely useful Skills or resources, Contact has significant Contacts of his own, Very Good relationship with Contact), Organization Contact (x3) (27 Active Points) 11-

10 Fringe Benefit: License to Kill

8 I Need Information: Computer Link

The CTU agents who work with Jack are his friends and seem to have PC stamped on their head (excluding Kim who is the super DNPC) and it's established that most people don't like Jack and aren't willing to do him a favor because he's a loose cannon and turned on his own partners when he found out they were dirty. Therefore, a generic organization contact doesn't seem to reflect Jack's resource pool. That's why he has to use his Persuasion skill on Michelle and Chloe and Jamie and Tony to get what he wants.

 

I don't think Jack has a license to kill, when he kills someone who isn't trying to kill him, he has to go through a lot of hastle to justify it and after each mission he has to debrief and explain himself. In second and third season, Palmer had his back so he got away with some stuff that his superiors would have put him in prison for.

 

I don't think Jack has any backdoor access to CTU, he always has to enlist help when he needs to use their equipment without them knowing. Nina, Miguel, Chloe.

Talents

I didn't really look too hard into talents, but I see we agree on a couple of things. One thing I probably would say is he has to have absolute time sense. He always knows exactly how much time he has left! Other talents, I may swipe.

 

Skills

Lot of your knowledge skills I didn't get, probably swipe some. He has a lot more combat skills with you too, I'd probably use some more of those if I had Dark Champions (its on its way), others seem to make him too powerful, but I think you've said yourself you may have exceeded your campaign limits.

 

I noticed you put Combat Aircraft in his TFs. I don't see how he would have learned that skill in Delta Force, has he ever demonstrated the ability?

 

0+ Disadvantages

Pretty much the same, although I did give Kim useful skills as she is great bait and has a degree in computer programming which Jack lacks profenciecy in.

 

I almost forgot to say Darn Fine write-up. Definitely be incorporating a lot of into my own! :thumbup:

The Perks Comment

Normal folks don't have access to secure NSA data but Jack does... The various Perks (Computer Link & Contacts) are meant to realize his uber-sophisticated data on demand capabilities. CTU obviously provides buckets of special abilities this is just my way of representing that huge data handling ability... Another alternitive would be to buy him a VPP of Knowledge Skills with a limitation (Only Info Known or Collectible to CTU). The access doesn't represent back door access to CTU so much as CTUs back door access to everyone else. I suppose that CTU could be bought as an Independant Base (That would be a hairy write-up.).

 

Skills

Combat Skillwise he is fairly much inline. It is worth noting that he really only has 3 Combat Skill Levels. All the others offset types of penalties rather than provide raw OCV/DCV.

 

Flight... I thought that he said he could fly the plane at the end of episode 2? To tell the truth I wasn't too sure about it but since this was a tad over the top, I erred on giving a little to much than a little too little.

Re: "24" Challenge

 

He lacks a batmobile but CTU is 100% bat cave with staff.

 

My version of Bat-boy (I think it is the one on Surbrooks Stuff... at least he asked me to send it to him.) is a little more buff for the super genre (5 SPD, 23 Dex and a boat load of cool gadgets).

 

I never thought much about a comparision but I think you are right... no cowl, kills everyone he meets, and prone to torture folks when needed but otherwise they are remarkibly similar.

Though I have yet to see '24'...I am most certainly going to use the character IMC. :cool:
