Bodyguard

[revanick]

I'm trying to build out a martial artist/bodyguard. Is there a way to raise perception rolls specifically against standard assasination type attacks? Oh, and this is a 75/75 campain.

 

Thanks in advance.

sort of:

 

danger sense

 

or detect: assassins based on sight

 

or detect: weapons based on sight

 

 

the detect weapons would match a common thing from fiction with detectives and bodyguards (may be true in RL, not sure) where they notice tell-tale bulges in waistbands, extra bulge at the armpit, etc indicating that the person is carrying a concealed gun

I would go with danger sense, in/out, immediate vicinity, intuition based

 

Or you could by up their perception rolls and put a limitation on the bonuses (only for noticing X), though I think the first method would be far more "correct"

Since you're in a 75+75 environment, I'd go with skills.

 

I'd use the resistance model. You're going to be attempting to beat other people's disguise and concealment rolls, so just buy bonuses against those skills.

ooh great idea.

 

go with resistance to concealment, disguise, and maybe shadowing

You could also do it with Complementary Skills: buy PS: Bodyguard or KS: Assassination Techniques, and use that as complementary to your PER roll.
