AirborneRob Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hey fellow trekkies In my ongoing conversion of Start Trek into HERO, i have had some great input from from a few folks and i am in need of some recommendations. I have several basic packages outlined and i am working on a few unorthodox packages that i feel should be a part of the conversion. One is how i should treat a Section 31 Operator. I went through and listed every skill that i think would fit into their Tradecraft and it gets very expensive as a package. Im thinking just keep the package to several core skills and such with a healthy CP pool to allow for maximum flexibility for character creation ( which is obviously a good thing ) or just draw it up as i have it and let the cost fall where it may. With what i have as of now, the only player choices really fall into them picking what AK's, CK's and a couple PS's (<--- To enhance a cover?) they feel they should have. According to the few DS 9 episodes that featured these guys, they were represented as the penultimate spys. I am also working on the Starfleet Rangers, Starfleet Operational Detachment Sierra ( Starfleets version of Delta ). Any thoughts would be appreciated, ty.

Just at a first look it generally looks good. I might add the additional skill of "Systems Operation: Tricorder" since the Tricorder and/or PADD seem as ubiquitous in the ST world as a laptop or smart-phone is today in ours. Most folks can do some basic things with such gear but to really get the most "bang for your buck" you have to have developed some basic skills/tricks. The Systems Op skill would simulate that for the bureau agent(s). Somewhere I have an HDC file (or three) that might be of use in this situation...If I can find them on my hard drive I'll review them and post a follow up. -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirborneRob Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Re: Section 31 Package Much appreciated clsage. Good call on the Sys.Op: Tricorder. I might make that an Everyman/Everycharacter skill Sorry, i couldn't rep you for pointing out the oversight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
