Jul 30, 2008 Apr 11, 2011 12:47 AM NPC Islands of War Karen Gammon 106 October 28 Green Black, Wavy, Long Tan Left 5' 3" 150 lb 0 Female Half-Elf 4 Law Keeper Karen is an expert at thief-catching techniques. She's spent years tracking them down to bring them to justice. She's a Law Keeper, and more than that, she's one of their special agents charged with catching difficult criminals. She believes in the letter of the law and always does her best to serve it. She will arrest her adventuring companions on the spot if they break the law. Back in the old days before the League and the Shadowed Eyes made peace, she was one of the best at catching them. Because of this, they put a very high price on her head. At least six different assassins came after her and she spent nearly six months on the run from them. This ended when the non-aggression pact was signed. The assassin that got closest to her is a Coleopteran, a race of giant beetle people. He nearly killed her on four occasions. This is why she has a phobia of insects. She is still being harrassed by a small group of rogue Shadowed Eyes. They're holding a grudge for her having arrested many of their comrades. When the non-aggression pact was signed, they refused to be party to it. They do little more than make her life difficult, but she treats them like pests: she arrests them if she gets hold of them, but doesn't otherwise bother with them. From her perspective, they're beneath her. She has a family; a husband and son. They occasionally show up at inopportune moments, as she and her husband are not currently getting along well. Sadly, this is fall-out from the ordeal of being hunted. She came back from the experience cold and callous, with occasional bouts of hallucinatory flashbacks. She cares for her family, but hasn't been able to be the kind and loving woman she once was. One final important detail: Karen is the half-sister of the Guild Master of the Shadowed Eyes, Ellora Rayna. This makes her a witch, even though she has no training in the magical arts. It also makes her a member of the Rayna clan and has given her the ability to sense the presence of witches and warlocks. She does not get along with her family, having rejected them entirely for their law-breaking ways. She has even tried to kill her sister on multiple occasions. Guild Master Rayna responded in kind, hiring assassins to do her in. There are still bad feelings between them from this, but in they both put on a mask of politeness when they have to share a room. 0 0 250 12 13 13 11 0 0 0 0 true true true Advantages Flexibility Physical 5 B56 Advantage climbing 3 escape 3 Legal Enforcement Powers (Special Agent) Social 15 B65 Law Keeper Special Agent; International jurisdiction, free to engage in covert investigation, not obligated to respect the civil rights of others Advantage Signature Gear Social 2 B85 Advantage Trained by a Master Mental 30 B93 Advantage Weapon Master Mental 20 B99 One weapon: Kusari Advantage kusari 1 1 kusari 2 1 Witch Powers Magical -10 total Combat Reflexes Mental 15 B43 Never freeze; +6 on all IQ rolls to wake up or to recover from surprise or mental stun; Your side gets +1 to initiative rolls (+2 if you're the leader) Advantage fast-draw 1 dodge 1 parry 1 block 1 fright_check 2 Danger Sense Mental 15 B47 Advantage Detect (Witches/Warlocks) Mental/Physical, Exotic Witches/Warlocks 5 total B48 @Occasional Substance/Condition@ 10 total B48 @Common Substance/Condition@ 20 total B48 @Very Common Substance/Condition@ 30 total B48 Precise 100 total B48 Signal Detection 0 total B48 Vague -50 total B48 Analyzing 100 total P47 Cosmic (No Die Roll Required) 100 total Range Limit (10 yards) -30 total Magical -10 total B48 Advantage Intuition Mental 15 Inspired 100 total P56 B63 Advantage Disadvantages Bad Sight (Nearsighted) Physical -25 Mitigator -60 total Glasses B123 -6 to Vision rolls to spot items more than 1 yd away; -2 to all melee attacks; double actual distance to the target when calculating the range modifier for ranged attacks Disadvantage Callous Mental -5 B125 Disadvantage psychology -3 teaching -3 Dependant (Family) Social Point total -1 total B131 100% of your starting points Point total -2 total B131 75% of your starting points Point total -5 total B131 50% of your starting points Point total -10 total B131 25% of your starting points Point total -15 total B131 0 or fewer points Appears almost all the time 3 B36 15- Appears quite often 2 B36 12- Appears fairly often 1 B36 9- Appears quite rarely 0.5 B36 6- Group 2 B131 Acquaintance 0.5 B131 Friend 1 B131 Loved one 2 B131 B131 Husband, Isaac Gammon; Son, Jacob Gammon Disadvantage Duty (League of Adventurers) Social FR: 6 -2 total FR: 9 -5 total FR: 12 -10 total FR: 15 -15 total Extremely Hazardous -5 total Involuntary -5 total Nonhazardous 5 total B133 Disadvantage Enemy (Group of 12 Rogue Shadowed Eyes) Social Weak Individual -5 total B135 50% of your starting points Equal Individual -10 total B135 100% of your starting points Powerful Individual -20 total B135 >150% of your starting points Weak Group -10 total B135 Medium Group -20 total B135 Appears almost all the time 3 B36 15- Appears quite often 2 B36 12- Appears fairly often 1 B36 9- Appears quite rarely 0.5 B36 6- Large/Powerful Group -30 total B135 Utterly Formidible Group -40 total B135 Unknown -5 total B135 Evil Twin 0 total B135 Evil Twin -5 total B135 More skilled or extra abilities Evil Twin -10 total B135 More skilled and extra abilities Watcher 0.25 B135 Rival 0.5 B135 Hunter 1 B135 B135 They're still holding a grudge about the League's war on the Shadowed Eyes and they want to make Karen's life difficult Disadvantage Entomophobia (Insects) Mental -10 9 B150 Disadvantage Flashbacks (Crippling, 3D minutes) Physical -20 B136 Memories of being hunted by an assassin hired by the Shadowed Eyes Disadvantage Honesty Mental -10 6 B138 She believes in following the letter of the law Disadvantage Intolerance (Criminals) Mental Scope: Common -5 total B140 Scope: Occassional -2 total B140 Scope: Rare -1 total B140 Scope: Anyone unlike you -10 total B140 B140 Disadvantage Obsession Physical -10 B146 Catching criminals; Adventuring keeps her skills sharp Disadvantage Sense of Duty Mental -5 B153 Adventuring Companions Disadvantage Half-Elf Advantages Extended Lifespan Physical, Exotic 1 2 B53 Advantage Infravision Physical, Exotic 10 No normal vision -10 total B60 B60 Advantage Perceptive Mental/Physical 1 5 Modifier 0 total B16 Adds 1 per level to perception checks perception 1 Resistant Physical @Very Common: Metabolic Hazards, etc.@ 30 total B80 @Common: Poison, Sickness, etc.@ 15 total B81 Sleep and Charm 10 total B81 @Rare: Acceleration, Altitude Sickness, Bends, Seasickness, Space Sickness, Nanomachines, etc.@ 5 total B81 Immunity 1 B81 +8 to all HT rolls to resist 0.5 B81 +3 to all HT rolls to resist 0.33 B81 B81 Advantage Disadvantages Social Stigma (Minority Group) Social -10 B155 -2 Reaction from others; +2 Reaction in own group Disadvantage Quirks Pointed Ears Physical -1 Perks Off-Hand Weapon Training (Kusari) Mental 1 MA50 Replaces equal-named technique on p.
