BoloOfEarth Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Regarding being OP, It really depends upon what skill areas the PCs shine. If, for instance, one PC is a master criminologist, well, the mentor has a potential 18- Criminology roll (including his Overall Levels), which kinda makes the PC irrelevant. Personally, I'd consider reducing or removing the Overall Levels if you don't want him to totally outshine the PC heroes. Now, if the NPC has some Complication (such as Physical: Early Onset Alzheimers) that makes those skills questionable, that's another matter. Or if he's crippled and can't go out to fight crime any more (though there still may be concerns about over-usefulness of his noncombat skills). Or he knows he's not long for this world (Physical: Pancreatic Cancer) and holds back on using his considerable skills because he wants the PC heroes to be able to stand on their own when he's gone. What are his Complications, BTW? Question: He has Linguist, but only one Language (English, which since he's paid points for it I assume it's not his native tongue). What's the point of Linguist?

JmOz Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 20. Cvk 10 physical (lame leg) 15 secret ID 30. Hunteds He is in his 80's...and cannot maintain field work Dropping the overalls could do it...most characters have their main skills at 19 but with limits (our detective has 5 skill levels with either oif or affected by mental sense powers) So will probably drop some or all of those skill levels .

dsatow Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 If he's 80 or so and physically not going into the field because of his age, why give him all the combat abilities of a 20 year old? Even if fit, at 80s years of age he's probably suffering arthritis (especially if he's had an active youth), his hands probably shake, his eye sight might be going, his hearing might be going, etc. He might have a susceptibility if he uses more than his recovery in a turn (heart condition). You might also want to give him the Psych Lim: "Every situation is a teaching moment". In other words, he won't solve the PCs problems but will guide them to find the solution themselves.

BoloOfEarth Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 If most PCs' main skills are at 19-, then you don't really need to do anything, though I'd still drop 1-2 Overall levels. Just as long as he doesn't out-shine the PCs at their chosen specialties. I think him being 17- versus their 19- is a good thing -- it shows why he selected them to take his place. (I'm just not used to starting PCs having that high of skills.) That he has that 17- pretty much across the board gives him credibility as the mentor. I assume he used to have something like 20 STR and 15 CON, but the age thing has brought them down to 10 apiece. Same basic idea with the END, STUN, and REC. I'd suggest having minor infirmities come out in play - a PC sees a slight tremor in the guy's hands before he clenches it to get it back under control; looking mildly embarrassed that he has to put on reading glasses; and of course the limp and probably using a cane or walking stick* due to the lame leg. *Said cane / walking stick of course being something special, like having a concealed electrified sword, or shoots gas pellets, etc. All in all, a good character (at least IMO).
