THE SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE GUYS AND GALS IN RED WHO FIX TROUBLE.

(Or Orange, Yellow, Green, ... you get it.)

A NEW CHARACTER CLASS FOR THE GAME. 

Those lucky guys and gals in red who have clawed their way up from the black-clad masses are a plucky bunch, and very good at hunting down commie mutant traitors.  Your best friend the computer wants you and all your above average fellow citizens to root out threats to the community and eliminate them. Problem is you are a commie, a mutant, and a traitor, and this has recently gotten you deeper into the poo than a transhyperdiabetic in a fresh vat of pink-fun.  Oh Dear.  Time to ditch friend computer’s ‘protection’ and take your chances on the unknown surface...

The PCs picked up an orange troublefixer very early in the game as a henchman.  One Jon-O-Tan.  Table needs a couple of entries but here you go.

PRIME REQUISITES:   None.

HIT POINTS:                  As Thieves (1D6 per level)

ATTACK:                        Thieves

ARMOUR:                       Light

WEAPONS:                     Any

EXPERIENCE POINTS: As Dwarf (we’ll see how this goes)

CLASS ABILITIES:

THIEF SKILLS: Move Silently, Slight of Hand, Hear Noise. (All at same chance as ‘Hear Noise’ for a thief of the same level)

MUTANT POWER: One Power at first level, and at every fourth level, i.e. two at fourth, three powers at level eight.  I am thinking these will be once per day for the sake of simplicity.  

Roll D2X on the Mutant Power Table below. It is compulsory to roll, you may not choose.  A player may wish to describe physical changes that relate to their powers but this is optional.

I have used the mutant power tables I found at Save Vs Total Party Kill and added a few categories myself. My additions in italics from ‘21’ onward.

SERVICE GROUP TRAINING:  Which branch of the communities infrastructure were you drafted to and what did you do?  Roll D8  on the Service Group Table below. (it is compulsory to roll, you do not get to choose, are you saying friend computer is wrong?)

SECRET SOCIETY.  I am largely glossing over this one as it is unlikely to affect play.  Sierra Club perhaps?

MANDATORY BONUS DUTY: It’s your lucky day citizen, friend computer has chosen you..blah blah blah, that means nothing now, but they did issue you with this neat... Roll D6 on the Mandatory Bonus Duty Table below. (it is compulsory to roll, you do not get to choose, are you saying friend computer is wrong?)

STARTING EQUIPMENT:  Red/Orange Coveralls (as leather),  Laser Pistol.  D6 damage.  6 shots per screw on disposable barrel. 1D4-1 barrels. 50% Red/Orange rubber truncheon 1D4 non-lethal. Today’s happy pill, and a foil wrapped, ‘Protien Satisifier TM’, Treasonous Surface-Party 1-pager.

QUIRK/HINDRANCE: These guys aren't entirely comfortable in wide open spaces with no roof.  No need to screw the player but good for a few roleplaying giggles.
