Thug & mook stats - Modern Victorious

With my Monday night 1 off game coming close to combat & my girls game getting more in depth, I started trying to find some good general stats for thugs, cops, and mooks. I did find the thugs & armed thus in the back of the book so I used them as a base line. However, I never found any stats for Coppers and detectives and the like. Plus the thugs were bare boned and needed updating for a more modern setting.

So, I spent the afternoon working some up

One thing I did notice, when my girls had their first fight, I made the gangsters too hardy. - easily x2 to x3 to many HPs. Luckily the girls didn't use guns or blast powers, so HP didn't come into play - glad I noticed it before the first fight of the "Ne'er do wells" ;-)

Can you all give it a common sense check & make sure I didn't over power them attempting to bring them into a modern setting ???

***

Most thugs have brittle moral. If half or more of the thugs are killed / incapacitated, there is a chance the remainder will break and run. The next highest leader will have to make a CHA save (CL highest level of the opponents) or the thugs will flee. Enforcers are less likely to flee.

No honor among thieves – There is always a chance the thugs will turn on each other or betray each other. This can be shooting a fellow thug in the back (for some slight) or turning in another thug to save themselves

Some Thug leaders may have CHA as a prime which will affect the brittle moral, loyalty etc.

Thugs will have access to basic cell phones – so have open communications. Also they will have the street network so will have advanced warning when law enforcement is in area (automatic when police are in uniform – detective & police/swat in ‘low vis’ vehicles must make roguery check to avoid the early warning network

Yeah, I was so concentrated on getting the animals, monsters, and supers together I didn't think to put in sample mortal character types like the above. Would you mind if I posted them on victoriousrpg.net with your being credited (either as Les or Lurker)?

BTW, I had just 2 thoughts:


1. Why do the thugs only have DEX as a prime? I'd think your average bruiser would be STR or CON?

2. I'd suggest the undercover cop have Etiquette: Crass in order to better interact with the underworld.

As always, no problem at all with sharing them ! Past as needed where needed

Crud missed it, I planned on them having Dex & Str as prime (figured a life of drugs and hard living would make con non-prime). Thanks for catching it.

Good point on Etiquette Crass . I may have put Street Survival in a couple of places I meant to have Etiquette Street. I'll have to look at it again (after tonight's game. the girls are putting up cloths and then digging out dice for the game).
