Re: mr. MONK gets statted up

 

My thoughts at first blush:

 

1. His service revolver and handcuffs can be left off the character sheet; he's a Heroic-level character.

 

2. He'd have at least a couple of extra inches of Running; he was into track in high school (at least, until he missed a starting pistol while trying to adjust his shoelaces), and has outrun a suspect on at least one occasion.

 

3. His Phobias would be Strong.

 

4. His Reputation (as being annoying) wouldn't be that widespread. However, he might (debatably) also have it as a Social Limitation or Distinctive Feature.

 

5. I think he'd also have a small positive Reputation as a brilliant detective.

I haven't seen a lot of episdoes, but from the ones that I have seen, he is often without the revolver. Operating as a Heroic character with equipment would definitely work better than an Independent focus.

 

I'd give him 2 Psych Disadvantages: 1 Total, 1 Strong

 

Ahh. Monk. Nobody does germophobic neurosis better...."You, know. Bleach. The Great White God!"

Re: mr. MONK gets statted up

 

I am a great fan of Monk, and while he is a private investigator and used to be a police officer. I have only seen him use a gun once, and that was the Lts, Monk took it out of his ankle holster. And I have never seen Monk use handcuffs. But if you think these items are essential equipment, I would remove them from the main character and add them as equipment (along with his wipes).

How did we forget the Handi-Wipes?

 

Change Environment: From normal germ-filled environment to sterilized area (etc.....)

Re: mr. MONK gets statted up

 

I would remove Acrobatics and Climbing from his sheet. I'd also reduce his STR to 10 maybe 8 as he was unable to beat Sharona at arm wrestling early on in the series. He also definetly needs +2 or maybe even a +3 to his PER rolls. I agree that he needs at least another inch, maybe two of running.

I should have caught that right away. Yes, I think he should get +5 to all PER.

And he would correct the mr. to Mr. What? This is about Monk afterall.

Re: mr. MONK gets statted up

 

Why waste 25 points on retrocognition that he doesn't really have, instead of just getting him Deduction 29?

Excuse me, Game Master? There's not enough room on this character sheet to list all of my Psych Lims.

It's more of an interpretation of his skill ... aka a Super-Skill

Actually - that's just my attempt to emulate the various "mr. MONK" titles in the show. Things like "mr. MONK can't see a thing" or "mr. MONK gets drunk" or stuff like that.

Well when you put it that way....

Re: mr. MONK gets statted up

 

I'd add a psych lim about his wife - that isn't covered by the others. And maybe a hunted 8- by Dale the Whale.

 

Overall very nice. I've used the Retrocog Clairsentience as a superskill like that for years (since 4th actually)
