Gavin's eager to get the Deckers incident behind him, despite the fact that he finally managed to hit Hanna, a previously almost unknown feat for him. He's looking forward to future successes. He's finally requisitioned a kevlar vest, having resigned himself to being perforated for the world's sake on a regular basis.

(Changed Controlled Burst to Lay Down Fire when I realized that I didn't meet the prereqs. It's what I had in mind in the first place, though. Also, finally switched out my tuxedo liner for a kevlar vest.

I'm working on the update, but I've decided I'd like to upgrade my Dexterity to 16, which will give me a bonus of +3 instead of +2. What all does that affect?
Well, other than the obvious...increasing DEX-based skills, it also improves your Defense by one, your Initiative by one, your REF save by one, and your ranged combat by one. Dexterity is probably the best ability to increase. The others being INT (more skill points) and CON (more VP and better Fortitute saves).
How many opprotunities do we get for this? I figure once I add one to my constitution, and maybe one to my strength, I'm going to pour the rest into intelligence, eventually going for that +5 bonus.
Right. I took Dexterity because, in the long term, it's the most important for my character. That one point isn't doing jack for me right now, but in another four levels, it'll do wonders. Well, not wonders, but +1 to ranged and Defense is always good.

Special Abilities:
Dexterous: Whenever the fixer spends an action die to add
to a Dexterity-based skill check, two dice are added instead of
one (i.e. 1d4 becomes 2d4).
Procure: The fixer may requisition items and gadgets
anywhere in the field at normal cost, just as if he were back at
headquarters. If there is a nearby city and the fixer can
communicate and meet with a representative of the Agency,
then this ability takes 20 minutes per 4 budget points or 1
gadget point spent, otherwise it requires 1 hour per 4 budget
points or 1 gadget point spent, while he scrounges the area to
find the required items. The fixer must either be able to
contact his HQ or a personal contact, or scout his surroundings
to use this ability.
Evasion: The fixer suffers no damage on a successful Reflex save.
Daredevil: The wheelman may use "daredevil-only" maneuvers during chases, etc.
Sneak Attack: +1d6
Personal Budget: 45
Gadget Points: +3
Belt, lockpick set (2 GP): +2 Open Locks

Artis Gossard comes across as a fairly friendly large man, you know the type. The shaven-head, goatee-sporting huge guy in armor at a Ren Faire holding the hand of his 5-year-old son. The Hells Angel who turns out to be a Good Samaritan.
The truth is, in casual settings, "Goose" has an immediately intimidating appearance (6'1", well-muscled but not hulking, with short-cropped curly hair and light tan/brown skin - his immediate lineage includes Caucasian, African-American, and Hispanic) matched with a lack of assertion. He doesn't talk much, and when he does, he's not one for idle chat. He doesn't go out of his way to brighten other peoples' days. You see, he doesn't want them to remember him, and spending the least amount of time possible in conversation helps with that. One of the few topics Goose will speak at length about is art - paintings, sculpture, Mesopotamian reliefs, etc.
It all comes from being a thief, I suppose.
Unlike some agents, who come in through the CIA, Mossad, or similar public organizations, Artis got into the Agency completely by accident. He had stolen a valuable necklace from a certain lady's hotel room and made his escape. However, the necklace he stole wasn't the real deal - it was a dummy with a homing device. The victim was under surveillance by the Agency, and Goose blew their plan all to hell. To top it off, the tracker led authorities to Goose's fence, who blamed Goose for selling him out. They apprehended Artis at the same time, but offered him protection in return for his services.
Artis' first mission left him realizing that his employers don't always have all the information. He's arranged for armored liners in his clothing now, at the expense of some of his firepower. Goose has shown a real talent for all types of wheeled vehicles as well.
After Goose's second debacle left him with a distaste for being underdressed and underarmed, he used his pull with the Agency (plus someone in Requisitions was probably feeling sorry for the team) to get some firepower back - and then some. He kept training in offensive driving but returned to the more covert arts.
I realized that with that extra Gadget Point, I could get a armored liner as a Gadget and use those BPs on something else. Also, I am a fickle bitch and might switch the AR for a kevlar vest and then use the GP for something else. I'm still deciding.
I'm still trying to determine if those skills I had noted on the print-out char sheet were genuine, or if I had decided to change that and just not corrected it on paper. They do feel rather phony to me though, but I can't check without access to the sheet of paper.
I'm thinking of changes in my personal gear, but as things go without a player's manual, you live in ignorance of the greater stuff. I might see if I can get the P90 there, though - I just like it to death, even if Jess can't hit anything with it

I hate to do this to you guys, but technically when you mutliclass, you don't get the italicized class feat from being 1st level. ie:
Artis started as a Fixer. He has Dextrous. When I multiclassed to Wheelman, I did NOT get Lucky. Likewise, if I took a level of Soldier, I wouldn't get Accurate, and so on and so forth.
Of course, we can ignore that, and I'll put Lucky down on my sheet. :biggrin: And I'll take my next level in Soldier to get Accurate, too.
What? I'm confused. I took a second level of faceman. Where are you getting this stuff? What do you mean about personal budgets and mission budgets and so forth?
i'm done with skills, following the skill points from a level in faceman. Here's what changed:
+Bluff: 6, 8
+Innuendo: 5, 8
++Knowledge: (All things Rat Pack): 3, 7
+++++Perform: 6,8
+Sense Motive: 8, 11
Also, I pick up cold read from that 2nd level in Faceman, which along with sense motive makes me a pretty good reader of character.
A few things...ADS is right about the not getting the 1st level starting feats when multiclassing, so I nixed them from my last post.
Forget what I said about the personal budget stuff. I looked it over this morning and it will just be easier to keep what you have and use what I gave you yesterday for mission purchases.
Bear with me, I'm on ALOT of cold medication right now so it's like gaming with a 3-beer buzz.
Threadbare, your stuff looks good. I'll update your sheet then load it on to the DOSSIER thread sometime today.
PS...ADS, I should be quite fine for gaming this Saturday at your place

For the upcoming Vegas mission, Goose boned up on his art history, and took a quick course in psychology, to be able to bluff his way through it if he needed to.
