Hello again!
it happens so that we are going to have a Serenity-style game, using the d20M system(yes, we are well aware of Serenity RPG, but we're also too lazy to look into it, especially our DM).
the soon-to-be gamemaster has hinted this: neither of the players is going to be the ship captain, and we'll start the campaign with our NPC captain being killed(or otherwise being releived of his duties). So we are very likely facing a competition for the captainship. More likely, a wild west-style standoff with lots of gun pointing and heroic music.
so, the question is: are there any particularly good builds for a level 3-4 character which would help?
i was looking towars a more shooty character, maybe something like Fast 3/Tracer 1 or gunslinger.
that is, which way should i go? the snipery way with longarms, or shooty TWF way with pistols?
or maybe you could suggest another means of winning the battle?
i thought of 3 ways to solve the case:
1)convince the other guys i'm the top man here(highly unlikely, although i could be quite convincing)
2)be good at shooting(that's where optimisation kicks in)
3)trap the likely standoff area with radio-controlled mines and such in order to drop heavy objects and otherwise incapacitate more shooty and more sturdy guys
i guess there'll be four of us, of which none are likely to optimise their builds. we're a more RP-heavy group, but good builds always help.
so, any ideas?
