This page is provided for GCs to help inexperienced players quickly make up a 1st level agent character for the SPYCRAFT RPG.
It provides an optional method for players to determine their starting ability scores and number of feats using an “opportunity cost” approach.
After that are 16 character “blueprints”. Each blueprint describes the type of character being produced; it then suggests the class, department, feats and skills along with some assisting summaries and calculations. The player can use the blueprint as is, or change as much as required to produce the type of character the player is after.
A lot of the blueprints are for soldiers and wheelmen, as it was assumed these classes would appeal more to inexperienced players. They are also useful as “additional” characters, provided to players who join the group on an infrequent or temporary basis.
The ability score system and the benefits and modifiers are standard for the d20 system.
To determine your character’s starting ability scores, you must purchase each ability score at a set value based on a number of points.
